Bosch has included ±28g accelerometers in its latest 3D inertial measurement unit, aimed at sports wearables. Called BHI385, it also includes a 32bit processor running embedded AI software “creating a complete programmable system”, claimed the company. It “accurately captures dynamic movements such as smashes, swings, and jumps [enabling] motion analysis for high-impact events across sports, fitness and gaming”. Features include ...

Bosch has signed Arrow Electronics to distributes its automotive semiconductor components in EMEA, building on an existing agreement for North America. The agreement extends to Bosch‘s MEMS sensors, asics and SiC chips.  “We are convinced that automotive manufacturers and suppliers in Europe will benefit from our co-operation,” said Philipp Schäfer, senior vice president, sales at Bosch Mobility Electronics. Two generations ...

Bosch has introduced a four-in-one mems sensor that measures air pressure, humidity and temperature, aa well as detecting volatile organic compounds, volatile sulfur compounds (indicating bacteria), carbon monoxide and hydrogen, amongst other gasses. Called BME690, the “sensor can be used for breath analysis and to reduce food waste through early spoilage detection”, said distributor Mouser, which is stocking the part. ...

ESMC – a jv between TSMC, Bosch, Infineon and NXP – broke ground for its first fab in Dresden yesterday, with the EU announcing it had approved a €5 billion subsidy from the German government for the €10 billion project. ”Together with our partners, Bosch, Infineon and NXP, we are building our Dresden facility to meet the semiconductor needs of ...

Bosch Quantum Sensing has revealed a photo of its quantum magnetometer prototype (right). “In terms of its measurement accuracy, the Bosch sensor prototype is the smallest currently available – about the size of a cell phone”, according to the company, which was started by Bosch in 2022. “Our goal is to miniaturise quantum sensors to the point where they can ...

Many of you must already know this, but I just found out. To dry out a workshop (or, at least, to reduce the amount of moisture within), open the windows when the ‘dew point’ outside is lower than the dew point inside, and close them when it is the other way around. Dew point is expressed as a temperature Given ...

Bosch is trying to push accelerometers and gyroscopes into lower-cost applications with an IMU (inertial measurement unit) called BMI323, which includes pre-developed function algorithms. “For example, BMI323 already includes Bosch Sensortec’s plug-and-play step counter software, so customers don’t need to spend time developing their own algorithms”, according to the company. “Other features include motion detection that can turn sub-systems on ...

Already running for 18 months in Germany, Bosch is expanding its cyber security procurement platform to the UK. The vast amount of cybersecurity tools, software, and vendors available means it is increasingly difficult for IT leaders to choose a solution that is most affordable and effective to suit their business needs, argued the company, explaining: “the platform offers advisory services ...

Aiming at sensor fusion application development, Rutronik has created a single Arduino-compatible board with a plethora of sensors from Infineon, Bosch SE and Sensirion. Called ‘RAB1 – Sensorfusion’, “the board offers its own platform that allows machine learning based sensor fusion,” according to the company. “Thanks to the components and the possible intelligent combination of sensor values, the board is ...

In need of a small high-temperature chemical reaction vessel with a lot of detailed features, BASF turned to Bosch Advanced Ceramics and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Between the three organisations, they developed a way to 3d print what was needed. The result is 107mm long and 16mm in diameter, with 500μm channels in which the chemical reactions occur, ...
