Augmented reality glasses need extremely micro-bright displays to compete with daylight, and if that is not a sufficient challenge for industry, power consumption and lifetime also need to be kept under control. Towards these triple goals, Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS) has developed a novel way to stack OLEDs “introducing a highly efficient monochrome OLED microdisplay with a brightness ...

Bluetest and Rohde & Schwarz have created a MIMO stress testing perform for IEEE 802.11be  (Wi-Fi 7) equipment. It consists of R&S one-box CMX500 signaling tester (right), a Bluetest RF reverberation chamber – its RTS65, for example (below left), and Bluetest’s Flow control software. “In contrast to anechoic test chambers, reverberation chambers extensively reflect an RF signal inside the chamber, ...

Sensor Technology is created a torque transducer for power take-off (PTO) shafts in agriculture, construction and industry. Called SGR570, it is a range that will cover 1Nm to 2kNm. Sealing will be to IP65, and there will be “analogue and digital outputs, the same as the SGR520, configuration software, PC connectivity, user-configurable limits and an anti-rotation eye hook”, according to ...

Ditronix has announced a multi-phase power and energy monitoring board in the form of a ‘Hat’ for Raspberry Pis. Called ‘IPEM PiHat’, it is based on Microchip’s M90E36A monitoring and power computation IC. “The board may be used as a stand-alone controller-monitor, or integrated within an IoT in-house or IoT cloud MQTT monitoring platform,” according to the company. “Safety is ...

Renesas has introduced 100V high-power N-Channel MOSFETs that claim to deliver industry-leading high-current switching performance. Renesas has developed a new MOSFET wafer manufacturing process (REXFET-1) that enables the new devices to reduce on-resistance by 30 percent. The REXFET-1 process also enables the new MOSFETs to offer a 10 percent reduction in Qg characteristics (the amount of charge needed to apply ...

  Gaggione is offering versions of its Avika range of LED streetlight lenses made using recycled plastic. We are “incorporating recycled PMMA into our range, derived from recycled industrial scraps”, according to the company. “Our team selected one of the most transparent recycled materials on the market: recycled Plexiglas 8N. This material, both lightweight and durable, guarantees high performance in ...

Congatec has added Intel Core S (Bartlett Lake S) processors to its 120 x 160mm COM-HPC Client Size C modules. “Conga-HPC/cBLS has been specially developed for power-hungry edge and infrastructure applications,” said the company. They “are based on the hybrid architecture of Core S processors, with up to 16 E [‘efficient’] and up to 8 P [‘performance’] cores for up ...

The ESA and Telesat are claiming a world-first for a direct 5G connection to a non-geostationary space craft. Specifically, connecting from the ground to a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite using 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) technology in the Ka-band frequency range. They say it marks another important step “towards making space-based connections as simple as using a mobile phone”. Previously, ...

Congatec is updating its 82 x 50mm SA8 SMARC computer-on-modules by adding Intel’s Core 3 N355 processor as an option, which includes eight 1.9GHz cores, 6MBbyte of cache and is rated at 15W dissipation. “As with previous versions, the AI instruction sets, Intel AVX2 [advanced vector extensions 2] and VNNI [vector neural network instructions] ensure processing of deep learning inferences,” ...

Alif Semiconductor has integrated Arm’s Ethos-U85 neural processing unit (NPU) into its second generation of its ‘Ensemble’ microcontrollers for AI and machine learning. It is “the world’s first implementation of the Ethos-U85 in an endpoint AI MCU”, according to Arm IoT general manager Paul Williamson. “With Alif’s high bandwidth memory and power management, [the new parts] support NPU operators required ...
