This is a submission from Eurocircuits. They have announced the introduction of their new fast & competitively priced DEFINED IMPEDANCE pool service. This is another step forward in their continued drive to provide Electronic Designers with the right solutions and services to make their products the best and most cost effective available.

Devices that are connected to the internet, such as self-driving cars and intelligent thermostats, pose an increasing threat to our privacy and security. Protecting against this requires a fundamental and urgent approach.

Artificial intelligence, facial recognition and voice recognition… how do you begin to unpick these rather specialized techniques? Everyone’s heard of them, and even uses them without realizing it. From there to implementing them yourself is another step. Only a small step thanks to ESP-EYE, an artificial intelligence module designed by Espressif for the IoT! Even for your personal projects.

This is a submission from Distrelec about their collaboration with world-renowned developer of the world’s first open-source electronic prototyping platform Arduino. Distrelec will be the exclusive distributor of their exciting IoT Prime Bundle.

Within tech circles, 5G technology has been all anyone’s been talking about ever since the very first 5G broadband service launched last year. Promising incredible speeds, almost non-existent lag and the ability to transfer vast amounts of data across a significant amount of devices, it is only a matter of time before the wider adoption of this technology – both in the private sector and in many industries. Designed specifically to meet the growth in digital connectivity and data usage of today’s society, industry experts will realise that 5G also goes hand in hand with another exponentially growing tech trend – the Internet of Things. In this article, we’ll talk you through everything you need to know before 5G hits industries, and the manifold opportunities it provides for engineers.

The fourth industrial revolution (or Industry 4.0), is now upon us — made possible by the Internet, cloud computing, data analytics and the roll-out of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) infrastructure. Although prior industrial technology deployments had enabled the monitoring and control of various systems in factories, power plants, oil refineries, gas pipelines, rail transportation and suchlike, IIoT has the potential to bringing about the next phase in the progression of automation, through employing industrial wireless sensor networks (WSNs).

This is a submission from Rutronik about the ultra-low power multi-protocol wireless SoCs and modules of Redpine Signals’ RS9116 family. The RS9116 family is featuring an internal protocol arbitration manager, who manages the protocols dual band (2.4 and 5GHz) 802.11 a/b/g/n, 802.11j, dual-mode Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 for Thread and ZigBee®.

New technologies often find applications in rather unexpected domains. Take for example LoRa, Sigfox and similar IoT technologies. While everybody is working on IoT temperature and humidity sensors for their homes, the real problem is to know if a rodent has been trapped somewhere deep down inside a large building or industrial site. The goal is, of course, to avoid sending out a maintenance engineer to check empty traps.

Distrelec Ltd, leading European distributor of electronics, automation and measurement technology has added the new Spresense range by Sony, manufacturer of consumer and professional electronics, to the webshop.

This is an article from Microchip on a solution that enables large ecosystem of PIC MCU applications to easily add secure cloud connectivity to next-generation designs.
