Intel Aims to Boost Driverless Vehicle Push with Mobileye Buy
The companies say the acquisition will combine Intel’s computing and connectivity expertise and Mobileye’s computer vision expertise to create automated driving solutions from the cloud through the network to the car.
Hyundai Showcases Advanced Wearable Robots at 2017 Geneva Motor Show
It is interesting that this technology was showcased at the Geneva Motor Show, but at the same time it is meant to show technology that will be moving people in the future.
Linde to Build Gas Production Plants in China
The investments will support multiple long-term contracts to provide electronics gases to foundry, memory, and flat panel display fabs.
Ford Tests Large-Scale 3-D Printing with Light-Weighting and Personalization in Mind
3-D printing is a helpful prototyping tool, but not as useful in mass production. Despite all the media attention devoted to this technology, it is actually quite expensive and slow, compared to more conventional injection molding. However, Ford is already testing 3-D printing technology with mass production in mind.
New Material Helps Record Data with Light
In the new study, the scientists from ITMO University in Saint Petersburg, Leipzig University in Germany and Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands could generate excitons at room temperature by changing the light parameters.
Pressure to Connect Is Changing Building Management: Navigant
The promise of revenue growth, improvements in operational efficiency, and meeting corporate sustainability goals are the fundamental drivers that have encouraged the development of the intelligent buildings marketplace, Navigant says.
Sticking to Neural Tissue
Researchers have developed a method for effectively connecting electrodes to neural tissue.
The Sky is the Limit for New Low-cost 3-D Printer
Sliperiet at Umeå Arts Campus is in the process of making a 3-D printed Tower of Babel using a novel hanging printer. This offers a low-cost solution and increased flexibility to print large volumes.
Insight: Advanced Metering Infrastructure
AMI serves as a local link in a utility grid. Each unit has a unique address coupled to a user profile and its consumption curve.
Room-Temperature Ceramic Coating
In the process, submicron particles suspended in a gas, are accelerated by a nozzle and layered onto the surface.
Low-Power Optical Sensor for Wearables
The low-power optical sensor incorporates an LED driver and green light detection photodiode.
Glassy Carbon Electrodes for BCI
Glassy carbon corrodes less easily under electrical stimulation and lasts much longer than platinum or other metal electrodes.
Do-It-Yourself Camera Detects Land Mines
The DOLPi is an affordable Raspberry Pi-based polarization camera that can be used to see polarized light. Users gain the ability to detect unseen objects like pollutants and hidden explosive devices such as mines.
Demo EV Wireless Charging Systems Made Available
Electrified mobility companies looking to integrate high-powered inductive charging into their products can purchase demonstration wireless electric vehicle chargers from Evantran.
Liquid Volumetric Displays of 3-D Images
A new volumetric display with laser-generated microbubble voxels enables a 3-D image to appear in a columnar display instead of on a flat surface.
Nissan Begins Autonomous Vehicle Test in London
Britain is working to get regulations in place to encourage the uptake of driverless cars beginning in 2020.
Thermoelectric Modules: Vehicle Fuel Economy Boosters
Potential energy lost as waste heat during internal combustion can be recovered by thermoelectric generators and converted into electricity for other vehicular uses.
