One of the biggest challenges for wireless sensor networks is that of power. Solar panels usually produce less power than you hoped, especially small ones, and designing super low power circuits is ...

The 10BASE-T1 Ethernet standard is also known as ‘single pair Ethernet’ (SPE), as it’s most defining feature is the ability to work over a single pair of conductors. Being fairly new, it offers a lot ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have announced the development of a nonvolatile microcontroller unit (MCU) which achieves both high performance and ultra-low power by utilizing spintronics-based VLSI ...

Source: CSIRO/CC BY 3.0 Remote sensing and its promise of a more efficient world is built on the idea of collecting data ...

In recent years, sensor networks intended for monitoring and controlling facilities or equipment, or observing environments or spaces, have been drawing a lot of attention. A sensor network will have ...

Integrating the energy source into a micro-chip is arguably the first challenge to confront. The device must pack sufficient energy into a small volume of space to yield operational lives on the order ...

Training for the placement of unattended ground sensors (UGSs) takes place at Fort Bliss, Texas. Tactical and urban UGSs are both part of Future Combat Systems (FCS) equipment and are scheduled to be ...

The development team at WonderWonder based in Kita, Japan have created a tiny self-contained sensor node created to aid the development of smart wearables, biomechanics, robotics, gestural interfaces ...

Unlike human beings, automated vehicles (AV) can indeed have eyes in the back of their heads and also the sides. They have a simultaneous 360 degree view of the world, but it’s not a perfect view. AVs ...
