At recent 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Sony and Honda revealed their first electric vehicle prototype, which is equipped with 45 cameras and sensors, as well as Electric Rearview Mirrors.
In the world of printed electronics, surface energy often comes up around the interactions of materials, specifically when we’re printing conductive inks onto various surfaces (substrates).
The COVID-19 pandemic and advancements in sensor technology have led to the widespread adoption of wearable health monitoring devices, particularly for telemedicine, to facilitate remote patient monitoring.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a sensor that utilises energy from sound waves to control electronic devices. This could one day save millions of batteries.
As cars shift to automated driving, In-Cabin Monitoring Systems (ICMS) are vital for passenger safety and comfort. Incorporating Time-of-Flight cameras and radar sensors enables ICMS to detect occupants and their behaviors promising a safe and personalized automotive experience.
Since the electrodes of the capacitor are insulated, the resistance value is theoretically infinite.
However, the actual capacitor has a finite resistance value because a small amount of current flows between the insulated electrodes.
In the latest of a series of innovative designs for wearable sensors that use sweat to identify and measure physiological conditions, Caltech's Wei Gao has devised an "electronic skin" that continuously monitors nine different markers that characterize a stress response.
This week Parker and Stephen welcome Kent Johnson to the show to discuss ethics in engineering. It’s a topic that has been alluded to throughout Circuit Break, but this is the first time Parker and Stephen have delved into it with a real expert on the matter.
The world of PCB connectors is diverse and expansive, catering to various applications in the field of electronics. In this article, we’ll dive and explore from the basics of board-to-board and wire-to-board connector types, to specialty connectors designed for specific use cases.
As the world of business continues to shift and evolve, one of the most important factors for success is asset tracking. It involves keeping track of valuable company assets to optimize their usage, prevent loss, and ensure that they are properly maintained.
