In a recent visit to Hannover Messe exhibition, US President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel were given a demonstration of Germ  an IoT technology and a taste of Industrie 4.0 by Harting on its stand at the exhibition. The President and Chancellor were shown the Rinspeed “Etos” car which uses a MICA mini industrial computer as the neural interface between Cloud and machine which enables the systems and machines to function as part of the IoT. Etos was created by the group best known for building zero-emission aquatic cars, robot-driven EVs and shape-shifting smartphone controlled carriers. Read more >>

While driving at night with your headlights off is a serious offense that could have catastrophic consequences, what if the person driving wasn’t you? What if it’s not a person at all? Ford Motor company have been testing autonomous vehicles getting their bearings during the night without any lights. If that sounds like science fiction to you that’s because at one point it was unfathomable that cars could even be autonomous but with the advent of technology and the massive funding and interest pouring in from the public for the ultimate convenience, cars that can drive themselves and passengers, are starting to become a reality.

On May 6^th 2016, Richard Wilson released an article on Electronics Weekly talking about how Intel i3 processors will be scaling for embedded modules that are COM. Intel has created and designed the XMC module that will come with an envelope that is conduction cooled. This Conduction cooled envelope is appropriate for carriers that are considered either open standard or custom. This includes carriers such as VPX and VME. Read more >>

Mercury Systems has just announced that the company received a $4.7 million dollar contract from the U.S. Government facility for their advanced digital transceivers to be used in an electronic warfare application capacity. Mercury Systems is expected to deliver the order which was booked during the company’s fiscal 2016 fourth quarter over the next several quarters spanning the next couple of years. Read more >>

Xerox Corporation, the American global corporation which offers business services as well as document technology products, has recently made the decision to improve techniques for production of smart devices through the use of 3D printing.  The Xerox Corporation is currently working on developing the necessary electronics in order to utilize 3D printing processes to create smart devices. According to the lead of the Novel and Printed Electronics program at the Xerox Corporation’s Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), Janos Veres, the company is diligently working to create electronics 3D printing technologies which will enable for the creation of smart devices of any size or shape.

Intel Corporation, one of the globe’s highest valued and largest semiconductor chip maker headquartered in Santa Clara, California, has recently announced that they will be exiting the tablet mobile as well as smartphone SoC business as the company has decided to end its struggling Atom chip product family. The Intel Corporation made this announcement in early April as the company continues to progress with a significant restricting plan. Some of the discontinued products include the Cherry Trail, the Broxton, as well as the SoFIA. Read more >>

Imagine multiple stacks of active layers of transistors without through-silicon bias. Years ago this was an impossible sight, but today two of the largest industry leaders, CEA-Leti & Qualcomm have collaborated in developing the newest 3D chip of its kind. Read more >>

A group of US and Israeli scientists were brought together to help develop with the world’s tiniest diode. The diode is formed from the size of a single molecule of DNA that is unseen by a conventional microscope. Read more >>

Printed Circuit Boards are primarily designed to mechanically support and connect electronic components electrically thus making them a fundamental part of almost all electronic systems. PCBs are also crucial for thermal management by acting as a heat sink. This allows transfer of heat away from the high-powered components that are likely to overheat as a result of overworking.
