Electrical projects are extraordinary in every sense, apart from specific subject knowledge one also needs proper workspace, motive, and tools to accomplish a job. For the regular domestic electrical projects, you can employ the most common tools that are present in every household. However, innovators, designers, thinkers, and engineers fall in a completely different category, they can’t work with regular common tools. They need specialty tools. We have aggregated here a list of top ten essentials that will help all creators in upgrading or completing their toolkit. Take a look.

While AR, VR, IA, and IOT are sprinting hard to lead the tech world, there is one strong contender that will be an essential part of every journey – Robotics. Even now, it is slowly becoming the strongest channel for streamlined implementation of above mentioned technologies in our everyday lives. Taking another step ahead in this direction, we bring you a list of top ten noteworthy startups who have made their mark within a short time and are moving ahead with flying colors.

A team of researchers from the Cornel University recently developed flexible optical waveguides that permit the robots to get a feel of their surroundings by scaling external strain. The new innovation presents a strong alternative for the  existing bulky and rigid tactile sensors that are embedded in regular robots. The solution was discovered in a soft prosthetic hand that is capable of demonstrating the final findings of this research team. An optical waveguide can be understood as a structure that directs visible light just like an optical fiber. 

Raspberry Pi is an amazing credit card-sized development board that can serve varied purposes for hackers, hobbyists, artists, as well as students. One of the most versatile application boards, it is believed that it can only be used for some common programming purposes especially the ones related to IoT or AI. In this blog, we will be breaking that myth and show you the versatility of this system and how it can make a difference to our lives in a long run. Let’s get on with it then.

ROHM recently introduced a super-compact highly precise seismic detection sensor module named BP3901. The device is perfect for all those applications that need accurate earthquake detection. The list includes smart meters, unmanned transport vehicles, and automatic doors.

ISELED is an open alliance that takes in the goal of providing the most wholesome system solution for myriad of automotive lighting applications. This approach is a benchmark with respect to communication protocol for taking control of dynamic and static LED arrays in industrial and automotive lighting applications.

The new FC9000 keeps a tight focus on battery-powered IoT devices that include smart thermostats, wireless sensors, video monitoring systems as well as smart door locks. This new SoC also works on wireless sensors that enable direct connectivity with Wi-Fi networks while backing a battery power longevity much ahead then a single year.

MNCs all over the world are striving hard to manage and meet the data and analytics workloads. This has resulted from the rising demand of Data Centers and High Performance Computing (HPC). Under such circumstances,Terasic’s TR10a-HL2 comes as a saving grace, it helps companies get over the performance limitations imposed by outdated hardware structures.

Let’s begin with the simplest beginnings, defining NTAG SmartSensor. It is one of the smallest edge computing devices that collects and uploads data directly over the cloud through NFC interface. And the best part is that it can do it even without any real-time connection.

Do you know what ensures the precision in timing and frequency of applications related to metrology, global navigation, and deep space research? It is all run by commercially available atomic clock technology. Microchip Technology Inc. is working to meetup with requirements of such demanding apps through its subsidiary called Microsemi. What they are offering is a hydrogen maser atomic clock named MHM-2020 that improves the usual long-term stability performance.

The smartphone technology has been evolving with every passing year. As users, we have seen various data technology generations in last 1-2 decades. It all began with 3G and then moved over to 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) and now we are all ready to welcome 5G by next year. But it is important to learn its ins and outs before it joins us in the mainstream market.

You can now avail enhanced CC EAL 6+ featured security with the EdgeLock SE050 product family. It promises unprecedented security against myriad of attack scenarios. It is a completely ready-to-use safe element for all IoT devices. You can stay assured about it at the IC level and yields complete end-to-end security right from edge up to the cloud. And all this gets accomplished without writing any code.

The largest carrier in China is now all set to introduce a completely new network that supports both enterprise and government leased-line services. It will leverage the international standard defined for dynamic adjustment of OTN connection bandwidth.

Renesas Electronics Corporation recently announced that it has come up with an AI accelerator that does Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) processing at low power consumption and high speeds. This development marks a crucial step towards coming range of embedded AI by the premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions. This new solution will accelerate enhanced intelligence of endpoint devices.

Maxim Integrated Products Inc. recently unveiled the MAX98390 smart amplifier with DSM (Dynamic Speaker Management) algorithm. A one of its kind, it promises better efficiency in delivery of richer, clearer, and louder sound for the lowest quiescent power in complete industry.

Yamaichi Electronics recently expanded its high-speed connector product range by bringing-in a completely new small form factor connector for 400 GB data  networking applications as well as other cage assembly mechanical parts.

The S32 SDK (Software Development Kit) is a comprehensive set of middleware, RTOS, peripheral drivers, and peripheral abstraction layers. It has been designed to speed up and simplify application development on NXP automotive processors and microcontrollers.

The leading supplier of highly developed semiconductor solutions, Renesas, is sprinting development of its ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) with the newly developed Perception Quick Start Software. This new software is rooted in R-Car V3H SoC (System-on-Chip). This new solution will be delivering reference software for COD (Camera Obstacle Detection), RFD (Road Feature Detection), LiDAR Obstacle Detection (LOD). These are the three areas of recognition for sensor-based Level 2+ autonomous vehicle systems.
