Intel rolls 14nm Broadwell in Vegas Jessica Lipsky, Associate Editor, EE Times -January 05, 2015 inShare Intel announced at CES 2015 the Broadwell family, its fifth-generation Core processors. The 14 new chips are essentially versions of the company’s 22nm Haswell architecture made in its new 14nm process, providing enhancements it hopes encourages PC and notebook
The KX112 is a robust, low-power, I2C/SPI, 3-axis accelerometer with integrated FIFO/FILO buffer that features a wide range of embedded functionality, including tap detection, orientation, activity, and wake-up algorithms. Kionix’s XAC sensor provides outstanding stability with a market-leading combination of improved shock, reflow, and thermal performance. The KX112 also offers accelerometer outputs with up to
Thermal comfort is, when a temperature in a house is 21-24 °C and a relative humidity is …. No, sorry, your device can withstand much more. At least 0 to 60°C or much more. If you have a device, where you need to guide the temperature, then DIN-rail thermostats are the simplest usable solution. Series
Thermostats Finder ensure a thermal comfort to your devices Continue Reading

The majority of contemporary LEDs are constructed from a combination of Indium gallium nitride (InGaN) and sapphire substrate. The architecture works well and has allowed LED manufacturers to offer products exhibiting efficacies in excess of 150 lm/W. However, the architecture does have some drawbacks which have encouraged chipmakers to seek other options. One commercially successful

Summary Infrared headphones can be used for listening to music or television cordlessly. The headphones utilize a transmitter that connects with audio cables to the audio source, such as a home entertainment center. The transmitter utilizes light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to direct a focused beam of invisible pulsating light towards a receiver built into the headphone
Scientists at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore have developed a smart window that is able to tint itself blue, partially blocking incoming light, without the need for an external power source. The device also functions as a small transparent battery that recharges on its own simply by interacting with the oxygen in its
