Leti, a research institute of CEA Tech, and Radiall, a global manufacturer of leading-edge interconnect solutions, announced a five-year common lab to design innovative antennas, radio frequency (RF) to meet infrastructure requirements of 5G networks and photonics components for harsh environments.
SEMI Teams with Cornell University To Accelerate Technology Development Using Machine Learning and AI
SEMI today announced a research and development (R&D) project to speed technology progress and problem-solving in microelectronics manufacturing and across the supply chain by driving new efficiencies using machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI).
CEA’s Precise Localization Technology Boosts Quality Control and Efficiency in Desoutter’s Products
Desoutter Industrial Tools and CEA-Leti today announced a precise, new indoor-location system that enables factories to monitor tools in real time and help manage their use by workers to improve efficiency, safety, security and quality control on assembly lines. Based on a CEA-Leti algorithm, embedded receptor architecture and ultra-wide-band (UWB) technology, the system has been optimized and customized for a variety of essential factory-floor jobs supported by Desoutter, a global leader…
TDK Announces Worldwide Availability of MEMS-Based “Sonar on a Silicon Chip” Ultrasonic Time-of-Flight Sensors
TDK Corporation’s (TSE:6762) announces the immediate worldwide availability of the Chirp CH-101 MEMS-based ultrasonic Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor. This ToF sensor utilizes a tiny ultrasonic transducer chip to send out a pulse of ultrasound and then listen for echoes returning from targets in the sensor’s field-of-view. By calculating the ToF, the sensor can determine the location of an object relative to a device and trigger a programmed behavior. TDK’s MEMS ultrasonic…
A New ‘Golden’ Age For Electronics?
One way that heat damages electronic equipment is it makes components expand at different rates, resulting in forces that cause micro-cracking and distortion. Plastic components and circuit boards are particularly prone to damage due to changes in volume during heating and cooling cycles. But if a material could be incorporated into the components that compensates for the expansion, the stresses would be reduced and their lifetime increased. Everybody knows one…
Researchers Explain Visible Light From 2D Lead Halide Perovskites
Researchers drew attention three years ago when they reported that a two-dimensional perovskite – a material with a specific crystal structure – composed of cesium, lead and bromine emitted a strong green light. Crystals that produce light on the green spectrum are desirable because green light, while valuable in itself, can also be relatively easily converted to other forms that emit blue or red light, making it especially important for…
A Wearable Vibration Sensor For Accurate Voice Recognition
A voice-recognition feature can be easily found on mobile phones these days. Often times, we experience an incident where a speech recognition application is activated in the middle of a meeting or a conversation in the office. Sometimes, it is not activated at all regardless of numbers of times we call out the application. It is because a mobile phone uses a microphone which detects sound pressure to recognize voice,…
EV Group Invests 30M Euros For Capacity Expansion in Austria
Construction of an additional, large cleanroom in St. Florian am Inn creates additional development, demo and pilot production capacity.
