Leti and Orolia today announced a new sensor-data-fusion engine that ensures resilient positioning and navigation even in cases of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) jamming or spoofing.
Called FlexFusion, the algorithm technology processes data from GNSS, inertial management units (IMU) and odometers to provide precise positioning in all conditions
Cutting-edge medical technology will highlight SEMICON Europa, 12-15 November, 2019 at Messe München, in Munich, Germany, as the SMART MedTech Forum gathers industry experts for insights into the latest developments and trends in medtech innovations driven by semiconductors. The SMART MedTech Forum is Europe’s first event to foster collaboration across the semiconductor and medtech value chains. SEMICON Europa registration is open for visitors and exhibitors.
The BioMEMS market is becoming increasingly diverse, encompassing gas and pressure sensors, ultrasound, specialized biomedical sensors, and other types of MEMS and microfluidic chips used for drug delivery and analytical applications.
Texas Instruments (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) today introduced the newest addition to the TI Robotics System Learning Kit (TI-RSLK) family, the TI-RSLK MAX, a low-cost robotics kit and curriculum that is simple to build, code and test. Designed for the university classroom, the solderless assembly allows students to have their own fully functioning embedded system built in under 15 minutes. Classrooms that may not have access to soldering equipment benefit from the solderless, hands-on kit and curriculum that can be reused year after year.
A research group led by Dr. LI Guangyuan and Dr. LU Yuanfu from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported a novel type of SLR based on metal-insulator-metal (MIM) arrays. The paper, entitled “Narrow plasmonic surface lattice resonances with preference to asymmetric dielectric environment,” was published on Sep. 2 in Optics Express and was highlighted as an Editor’s Pick.
Researchers at the University of Göttingen have developed a new method that takes advantage of the unusual properties of graphene to electromagnetically interact with fluorescing (light-emitting) molecules. This method allows scientists to optically measure extremely small distances, in the order of 1 ångström (one ten-billionth of a meter) with high accuracy and reproducibility for the first time.
Delphi Technologies PLC (NYSE: DLPH), a global provider of automotive propulsion technologies, and Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE), a leader in silicon carbide semiconductors, announce a partnership to utilize silicon carbide semiconductor device technology to enable faster, smaller, lighter and more powerful electronic systems for future electric vehicles (EV).
Platinum has long been used as a catalyst to enable the oxidation reduction reaction at the center of fuel cell technology. But the metal’s high cost is one factor that has hindered fuel cells from competing with cheaper ways of powering automobiles and homes.
The global robotics market continues to shift increasingly toward non-industrial robots. The industry is experiencing some growing pains, as expected when moving from a mature domain of robotics to new application areas. Many of the non-industrial robot categories are starting to feel the strain, including consumer robots, consumer unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), consumer autonomous vehicles (AVs), and customer service robots, according to a new report from Tractica.
Impinj, Inc. (NASDAQ: PI), a provider and pioneer of RAIN RFID solutions, today announced that Cathal Phelan has joined its board of directors.
“We are thrilled to have Cathal join our board. His business leadership, 30 years of engineering experience, and broad semiconductor background stood out through our thorough search. Cathal will strengthen the board independence we value at Impinj,” said Impinj Board Chair Peter van Oppen.
