MIT chemists have developed a sensor that can wirelessly and cheaply detect hazardous gasses and environmental pollutants. The sensors can detect food spoilage in warehouses and gasses such as ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, cyclohexanone, and more. The sensors are favorable because they are cheap to produce, and are easy to use – since is no wiring or power is involved. “The new … [Read more...]
Wearable Technology to assist Defense Industry and Military
The Department of Defense hopes soldiers and airmen will have an advantage in combat with new technology that is integrated into lightweight and wearable equipment. The Pentagon has invested millions of dollars to increase the power of the technology and to make this wearable technology smaller and lighter, so it is easier for troops to carry. "We're really trying to augment … [Read more...]
Engineers Introduce Time Cloak that Uses Fiber Optics to Hide Data
A team of engineers from Purdue University have successfully built a time cloak that hides messages in laser light. This technique is called temporal cloaking and uses lasers and fiber optics to hide data. The technique works by separating strands of light frequencies and slowing photon speed, which allows messages and data to be inserted in gaps created when photons decrease … [Read more...]
'Tech Tidbit' – Wi-Fi Hotspots to be Installed in Public Transportation Systems
A company named Veniam has announced that with the help of True Ventures, it has raised about $4.9 million dollars for a project that will turn buses into Wi-Fi hotspots. This technology has already been introduced in the public bus system in Portugal and the company noted that about 75 percent of passengers use the new technology. With the new capital raised for this project, … [Read more...]
On-demand Webinar: Cost-Effective Use of HDI (microvia) PCB Technology for SI, PI and EMC
Overview: Microvia (High Density Interconnect, HDI) PCB manufacturing technology has developed rapidly in recent years, and can now be used to reduce bare-board cost where a Through Hole Plate (THP) board would need 10 or more layers. And microvia’s benefits for good EMC (and SI and PI) design at board level mean it can reduce overall unit-cost-of-manufacture even where THP … [Read more...]
New Field Generator Introduced to Industry
DARE!! Instruments presents its patented RadiField Triple A – a cost effective and efficient field generator. This RadiField Triple A is “no less than a revolution in EMC immunity testing,” according to researchers. Typically, immunity testing setups are complicated and involve an amplifier, coupler, RF power meters, interconnecting cables and a combiner; however, the … [Read more...]
