The method enhances planning for missions by multiple UAVs, improving efficiency and enabling applications like infrastructure inspection and environmental monitoring. The MRS UAVs based on Tarot T650 frame, used during field experiment, Credit: Datsko et al Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, have demonstrated their utility in various applications, including environmental monitoring, agriculture, search and […]
The SLA36385A series has a 5 x 9mm footprint and 9.5mm height, and yet the components can handle up to 230A. Inductances range across 35 to 470nH. “The 35nH component can handle more than 200A, with approximately 20% roll off”, said the company. Resistance can be as low as 125μΩ and operational frequency as high […]
Called UFC500, it uses silicon carbide power transistors and charges two smaller vehicles simultaneously at up to 250kW each, or one vehicle at 460kW. The exterior design meets IP55 and IK10, and cables are top-mounted to reduce the changes of damage, on a moving arm to extend reach to 4m. “Delta’s patented internal topology results […]
“They are suitable for processing in fully automated processes, such as for the particularly dense, double-sided assembly of PCBs,” it said. They are available “in blister or tape and reel packaging for automated processing”. Versions with 4, 6 and 8 contacts and with different codings are being offered, in both shielded and unshielded versions. There […]
Called Series 144, they feature sputtered ruthenium contacts so they can switch at high power and low-level signals. There is also an internal mu-metal screen to eliminate magnetic interaction between closely stacked devices. Maximum carry current is 3A in all cases, while some witll stand-off 2kV and others 3kV. Max switching is 80W 1A, or […]
Here, in our series on the latest EW BrightSparks of 2023, we highlight Vasiliki Xiradaki, a student at the University of Birmingham and a Digital Design Engineer at EnSilica. Achievements Vasiliki started studying Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Birmingham a few months after arriving in the UK from Greece. She pushed herself […]
Credit: Physical Review Research (2024). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevResearch.6.013238 U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) scientists have published the Cascaded Variational Quantum Eigensolver (CVQE) algorithm in a recent Physical Review Research article. The algorithm is expected to become a powerful tool to investigate the physical properties in electronic systems. The CVQE algorithm is a variant of the Variational […]
Experimental setup. 3D reconstruction of fish trajectories with 3 synchronized cameras. The locations of the fish were determined in each 2D image to calculate the 3D coordinates. The 3D coordinates are subsequently linked into 3D trajectories. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-46426-1 Physicists are also interested in fish—above all when they are researching the formation […]
The University of Waterloo researchers use radar technology to turn cars into health monitors, removing the need for wearables. Radar sensor held up next to 10c coin to give size comparison.
