Key Things to Know: Challenges in Wearable Electronics: Wearable medical devices face significant challenges such as data security, accuracy, interoperability, regulatory compliance, and user experience, which must be addressed to enhance their effectiveness in healthcare. Advanced Material Solutions: Researchers at the City University of Hong Kong have developed ‘super wearable’ electronics, which are lightweight, stretchable, […]
April 25, 2024 — STMicroelectronics recently announced an automotive gate driver, the L99H92, offering an SPI port for programming and diagnostics, a charge pump, protection features, and two additional current-sense amplifiers for system monitoring. Containing two high-side and two low-side drivers, the L99H92 can control a single H-bridge powering one bidirectional DC motor or two […]
April 24, 2024 — According to reports, Japan’s exports increased for the fourth consecutive month in March, with semiconductor manufacturing equipment driving growth in shipments to China. Reports show that Japan’s total exports in March reached 9.46 trillion yen (US$61 billion), a year-on-year increase of 7.3%. Total imports were 9.1 trillion yen, a decrease of […]
April 24, 2024 — TDK Corporation recently announced the new EPCOS B43659 series of snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitors. This is the next generation of ultra-compact general-purpose components for voltages of 450 V (DC) featuring an extremely high CV product. It provides the same features and serves the same applications as the previous series; however, the B43659 is […]
Open-source software provides network components that you can use to simulate 5G network functions from the network core to the radio. by Lincoln Lavoie, University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab Developing and deploying a laboratory infrastructure to support testing 5G and open radio-access network (Open RAN) systems can present a daunting and complex task. Prior […]
If something can’t go on, it won’t; supplying the automobile’s voracious electrical demands from a 12-V battery is an example of this reality. Topology changes affect the battery source Due to the 12-V issues, many newer ICE vehicles and nearly all EV/HEVs also have a 48-V battery. This battery serves loads that are more efficiently […]
A Mini Fridge that can work with any power bank and without using harmful CFC gases. Ever heard of a 5V portable freezer? Yes, you heard it right. In this DIY we design a 5V portable freezer that is easy to carry even while traveling. A freezer/refrigerator/fridge work on the same principle i.e. Pumping heat […]
If something can’t go on, it won’t; supplying the automobile’s voracious electrical demands from a 12-V battery is an example of this reality. Today’s cars — whether based on the traditional internal combustion engine (ICE), some form of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), or even a pure electric vehicle (EV) — are loaded with electronics, sensors, […]
The team’s quantum dot setup. Credit: Imperial College London Researchers have produced, stored, and retrieved quantum information for the first time, a critical step in quantum networking. The ability to share quantum information is crucial for developing quantum networks for distributed computing and secure communication. Quantum computing will be useful for solving some important types […]
