IoT technology connects thousands of sensors, enables real-time data collection and analysis, and makes buildings smarter and more efficient. Still, power is a challenge. The batteries of any smart device are costly, and the constant…

Texas Instruments introduced the industry's first stand-alone active electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter integrated circuits (ICs) so that engineers can implement smaller, lighter EMI filters and enhance system functionality at…

Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) teamed up with SHARGE Technology to design a 67 W USB PD charger with a power display screen. The fast charger uses EPC’s 100 V GaN FET, EPC2218, delivering 231 A pulsed current in a 3.5 mm x 1.95 mm…

At APEC 2023, Amber Semi will demonstrate a new standard in power management and sensing in prototype applications, including solid-state programmable circuit breakers, lighting, motor control, smart outlets, etc., powered by its…

Robots as mental well-being coaches in the workplace may be useful– but it depends on what the robot looks like. University of Cambridge researchers used two robot well-being coaches for their study; 26 employees participated in weekly…

How would you like to use a battery that never needs recharging and lasts over 100 years? Sounds too good to be true, but this technology exists and is ancient. It is called a Zamboni Pile (also called a Duluc Pile) and is a very old…

Structural defects that form during an additive manufacturing building process have prevented its wide adoption. Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory developed a new method to detect and predict…

Hailo announced the Hailo-15 family of high-performance vision processors, designed for integration directly into intelligent cameras for video processing and analytics at the edge. Hailo claims it sets a new standard in computer vision and…

The two companies teamed up to release the WT7162RHUG24A, an integrated circuit designed for use in 45-100 watt USB-C PD power adapters for charging smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other smart devices. The SiP offers peak power…

Texas Instruments recently unveiled purpose-built semiconductors with ultrasonic lens cleaning (ULC) technology so that camera systems can quickly detect and remove dirt, ice, and water using microscopic vibrations—the first ultrasonic lens…
