New USB 3.1 C-Type Connectors

 

The USB C-type connector, recently announced by Amphenol, is a reversible design that can pass 10 GB/s data. It also includes power, along with data connections. The full metal shield protects against EMI and ESD. For more, click here. … [Read more...]

Digital Power Control

 

A joint collaboration by Würth Electronics - Midcom, Infineon, and Biricha Digital has made a design kit to explore digital power control. The XMC Digital Power Explorer Kit offers two control cards based on ARM Cortex processors. Features include a synchronous buck converter, a high-resolution PWM, an on-board resistive load, and a PMBus communication option. For more, click … [Read more...]

Cellphone and Laptop Covers Reportedly Prevent Radiation

 

A relatively new company, known as SafeSleeve, produces cellphone and laptop covers that reportedly prevent radiation exposure to people. “Their first product was a laptop case, which uses military-grade materials to prevent radiation waves from emitting to the body. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certified their research reducing electromagnetic radiation up to … [Read more...]

Researchers Construct New Power Interruption Technology

 

Korean Researchers have recently created the world’s first Mott device that reduces the size and improves the performance of traditional electromagnetic switches and circuit breakers. The research team has created a power interruption technology based on a Mott metal-insulator transition (Mott MIT) device. According to Phys.org, MIT devices can be applied to electromagnetic … [Read more...]

NASA Supports 3D Printed Robotic Hand with Stretchable Optical Sensors

 

A team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have developed a 3D printed, three-fingered robotic hand with fiber optical sensors that are stretchable. The hand is able to detect forces that are less than a tenth of a newton. “Using fiber optics, the team of researchers placed 14 strain sensors into each of the robot’s fingers, which are closely modeled on the skeletal … [Read more...]

‘Electrosmog’ to Help Power Devices in UK

 

Paul Drayson, a former British science minister, has developed a device that captures “electrosmog” (invisible clouds of electromagnetic radiation), and uses it to power small devices. The energy-harvesting system is known as Freevolt. Freevolt uses an antenna to gain power from multiple wavebands of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is the first commercial device that is … [Read more...]

High School Students and UPenn Professor Build Radio Telescope in West Philadelphia

 

This past summer, as part of UPenn’s Summer Science Academy Program, 12 high school students along with James Aguirre, associate professor in the School of Arts & Sciences’ Department of Physics and Astronomy, turned an out-of-service TV satellite dish on the roof of the Enterprise Center in West Philadelphia into a 30-foot radio telescope. The telescope has been given the … [Read more...]

Canadian Police to Receive New Radio System after EMI Issues

 

Sault Ste. Marie Police are preparing for a new radio system, since their current system, which is 15 years old, experiences communication problems and constant radio frequency interference. However, police dispatchers still have problems ahead. “Motorola is phasing out support the console's main components. The withdrawal of assistance starts in 2016 and ends in 2018,” … [Read more...]
