Factories have always set their sights on increased productivity and cost reduction and the Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) has impacted modern factories in a big way. To achieve those goals, modern factories have made automation and preventive maintenance using robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and edge computing top priorities. In the next 10 years, factories with IIoT […]

ADC simultaneous sampling of 4 channels – I am referring to the dspic33EP256MC506 and ADC module. There is a configuration for simultaneous […]
How are sensors advancing medical development?
Recent developments in the field of sensors have helped advance medical technology. Wearables have become smaller and provide more vital sign monitoring functions with higher accuracy. The wearable sports watch is gradually transforming the healthcare industry. Not only does it help people stay healthy by potentially causing them to exercise more, but the technology is […]
Teardown: Dr. Pocket TENS therapy pain relief kit
The electronic TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) therapy pain relief kit called Dr. Pocket uses electronic pulse stimulation via TENS to deliver electric impulses through electrodes in a pad that sits on the user’s skin. This device has multiple modes of different pulse frequencies covering transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and powered muscle stimulation which are […]
The demands of boot drives in the Embedded Enterprise aren’t what you’d expect
by Steffen Allert, Hyperstone Storage modules are an integral part of consumer, industrial, and enterprise systems. The unique work-load and challenges of these markets dictate the design and components making up the systems. It is commonly understood that the storage systems designed for the enterprise sector are heavily focused on achieving significant endurance rates. The […]
Autonomous vehicle sees with LiDAR eyes
Automakers are struggling to deliver the first commercially available fully autonomous car (SAE Level 5). There are a lot of vision technologies and sensors available, but fine-tuning them has proved to be challenging. Cars need to “see” objects, moving or stationary, from far away enough to react and make driving decisions. One of the most […]
A better way to measure lidar
The special demands of sensors needed for autonomous driving have brought suggestions for different measurement metrics. Leland Teschler, Executive Editor A few months ago, sensor maker AEye made a media splash when it claimed it had developed a super-speedy lidar sensor that could hit a scan rate of 100 Hz or more. That speed outpaces […]
What high-speed data means for connected vehicles
Technologies behind multigigabit Ethernet and 5G could transform transportation. Harsh Patel | Molex The connected vehicle segments are growing at a rapid pace. By 2020, industry analysts predict there will be 250 million connected vehicles and 10 million self-driving cars on the road, and 470 million connected/autonomous vehicles by 2025. As the number of connected […]
Flash memory keeps cars connected
A new kind of flash memory is optimized specifically to handle the hostile environment imposed on electronics in vehicular uses. Leland Teschler | Executive Editor You’d have to say the NAND flash memory had an inauspicious beginning. Invented in 1987 by Toshiba, the first NAND flash chip didn’t sell until 1995 when it finally found […]
Tech refresher: Basics of flash, NAND flash, and NOR flash
Flash memory stores information in an array of memory cells made from floating-gate transistors. Each memory cell resembles a standard metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) except that the transistor has two gates instead of one. The floating gate (FG) and the control gate (CG) control the current flowing between the source and drain. The CG resembles […]
