Renesas introduced a blood glucose meter MCU, built-in biosensing circuit

Renesas Electronics have developed the RL78 / L1A series of 16-bit MCUs used in battery-powered medical devices, such as blood glucose meters, lactic acid meters and cholesterol testers. The new product is equipped with an analog front end circuit for biosensing. The blood glucose and hemoglobin values ​​that must be measured using different instruments can be measured with the same instrument. And a Promotion Board for immediate evaluation of product functionality.

New products have three characteristics. First, the analog front-end circuit built-in analog switch. Since a suitable circuit can be switched according to the measurement object, it is possible to develop a medical device which measures the hemoglobin and the blood glucose level from the blood interaction.

Second, by providing reference software, it is easy to improve the accuracy of built-in analog front-end functions such as D / A converters, operational amplifiers, A / D converters, and reference voltage circuits. Thirdly, the operating voltage can be drastically reduced by various technical improvements implemented in analog front-end circuits. Can make the blood glucose meter and other measurement functions throughout the battery life are normal.

IBM's Automated Buses, Passengers Talk to the Virtual Bus Wizard

IBM Japan's Kawasaki Zhixing delivered a speech on September 9 at the "Automotive Future Summit / Transportation NEXT 2016" (organizer: Nikkei BP), introducing the near future of car-oriented services.

In his speech, Jiang introduced the use of IBM-developed artificial intelligence system "Watson" (Watson) "automatic driving bus" Olli ".Olli is Local Motors Corporation and IBM jointly developed 12 small automatic driving bus.IBM using Watson As a "bus guide." More than 30 sensors installed on the car, by Watson to analyze the large amount of data collected by these sensors.

When the passengers asked, "Where there is a delicious restaurant near", Watson will answer "○○ has a shop called × ×." Watson can interact with a number of passengers to communicate with each other, according to the requirements of passengers to guide the bus. According to Jiang Qi introduction, Olli has not yet entered the practical stage, the future will be repeated empirical experiments.

In addition, IBM also with a number of enterprises in the IoT and AI technology cooperation. The company and Honda F1 business in the establishment of a cooperative relationship. Honda's F1 racing data analysis system uses IBM's "IoT for Automotive" for real-time analysis and prediction of faults, fuel efficiency, and performance. In addition, IBM and Fuji Heavy Industries, began to use IBM's AI technology to build driving support system "EyeSight" experimental image data analysis system. In the future it seems that with Fuji Heavy Industries to carry out a new research on automatic driving.

Darlox Electronic joined revolution of China’s robotics industry

A report shows that China’s industrial robot industry has entered a golden period of development. As labor costs rapid rise and upgrading of industrial restructuring brings amazing “product”, robots to replace manual labor has become a catalyst for rapid development of industry, and makes industrial economy to accelerate the arrival of the inflection point. Currently, industrial robots in China is still in its infancy, but it will have a good future and broad market prospects.

Insiders said that the emerging robot industry will be large-scale high-tech industries appear Following cars, computers. China “Twelve Five” Planing is a key turning point in the development of industrial robots. Market demand will show a spurt of development, the demand for industrial robots will be an annual 15% to 20% growth rate.

As a leading cable solutions provider, Darlox reached a cooperation with a number of robotics manufacturers and signed the relevant contracts provide a variety of sophisticated connectivity solutions for their products.

Darlox CEO Mike Gan, professor of North China Electric Power University, said that automation, industrial robot industrial prospects are very good, to join this innovation automation Revolution, Darlox Electronic will continue to increase R & D investment in this area.

TE Release 0.3 mm rotation lock FPC connector

To improve connectivity miniaturization of electronic products, TE Connectivity today announced that it is launching a pre-0.3 mm rotary locking flexible printed circuit (FPC) connectors. This new series is a low halogen products, including can be connected to up to 71 locations connector type.
TE Connectivity Product Specialists Tyler Madden, said: "This larger rotation before locking position of the actuator size range, wider availability, so product designers can break through the traditional technology constraints, more flexibility with the TE continue. expanding our business scale on the FPC connector market, we are pleased to announce this expansion of product range to meet customer outside the standard range of 10-50 applications require connectors. "

Customers can choose between the rotation lock before or after rotation lock actuators, thus in line with enough variety of consumer electronics, set-top boxes, mobile devices such as the design specification. The pre-rotation lock connector series low halogen environmental protection to meet the current requirements of many consumer products.

Formfutura introduced four new 3D printing wire wood

With the growing popularity of 3D printing, 3D printing material available has become more diverse. Among these, it is estimated by the closeness of the human impact on natural wood, imitation wood properties of 3D printing materials appear unique by many 3D printing enthusiasts and create customer's favorite. And therefore attract a lot of 3D printing wire manufacturers release a variety of unique wooden wire products, Formfutura company based in the Netherlands is one of them.
In the past year, the company for its wooden 3D printing wire series EasyWood adds three unique products Coconut (coconut), Olive (Olive) and Ebony (Ebony), received by the market. Due to the success of these three wooden wire, now, Formfutura has released four new wooden PLAEasyWood line, enabling the company to choose from wood 3D printing wire reaches seven kinds, each of which represents a different type wood.

The four wooden wire are: EasyWoodBirch (birch), EasyWoodPine (pine), EasyWoodCedar (cedar) and EasyWoodWillow (willow), as the name implies, these four wires contain appropriate Wooden components. Specifically, these wires are 40% of the company's ground wood particles plus polymeric binder made suitable for printing, then print out will be no real wood texture. In addition, the company developed EasyWood wire tone and color can be changed by a change in temperature, the user can even print out the rings to create the effect. In addition, the company said, it EasyWood a little polishing, you can get a more realistic wood surface effect.

Currently, EasyWood wire has 2.85 mm and 1.75 mm in two sizes available, price per volume is € 32.95 (net weight 500 g). Although Formfutura company also sells other types of 3D printing material, but the company seems intent on wooden wire as the main product, and compared with similar companies in the market, the type of wood wire Formfutura provided the most.
