Increased Adoption of CMOS Image Sensors Push CCDs into High End Imaging Applications

Advances in fabrication and designing techniques have led to the production of low cost, highly compact, miniaturized image sensors that offer high resolution images, while maintaining a small form factor. These features have allowed image sensors to penetrate a wide range of applications beyond their major market of consumer electronics. Other sectors such as industrial imaging, medical, security and surveillance and automotive also are leveraging the advancing technological abilities of image sensors.

Researchers Combine LTE and HEVC Technologies for Faster Video Streaming

Whether on a long train journey, sitting in a café or lounging at home on the sofa, smartphones and tablet computers allow us to watch videos anywhere and at any time. As convenient as this development is for users, it also throws up some problems. Because the downloaded video files are usually very large, they are increasingly putting too much strain on mobile phone networks. There is a reduction in image quality and videos take a long time to load. Sometimes users are even forced to take breaks while watching videos, because data cannot be downloaded fast enough.

Cascade Metrology Selects SciTech's Wireless Access Control Systems

Cascade Metrology knows a thing or two about quality instrumentation. The company is responsible for testing and calibrating Speed Measuring Devices (Doppler radars and lidars) used by law enforcement agencies and other sensitive instruments used in laboratory settings by fortune 500 companies. When Cascade moved its metrology labs to a new space, engineers took the opportunity to vet a selection of wireless access control systems. After careful testing, the clear winner was SciTech Wireless. SciTech's WILDR (Wireless Interface Low Power Digital Radio) solution represents the gold standard in secure, wireless access control.

CeBIT Trade Fair: Fraunhofer to Present Intelligent Armchair with Integrated Sensors

For years the trends have been clear: not only are we getting older all the time, but we are also increasingly left to take care of ourselves in our old age. This is why researchers are already working on technologies that will assist us in everyday situations later in life. One of these technologies is will be presented by the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS in Erlangen (Germany) at the CeBIT trade fair in Hanover, March 5-9, 2013 (Hall 9, stand E08): an intelligent armchair we can not only comfortably sink into in front of the television but one that also motivates us to keep ourselves healthy and fit.
