Ruben Henares has designed a Maxmix controller with a stylist knob that could save us the stress of having to always go through the menus and on-screen sliders to change the volume of individual apps on our PCs. The knob on the controller takes an input from the encoder/button to display the desired app where volume is to be adjusted. […]
Murata has introduced the SCC300 series components that combine high-performance angular rate and accelerometer sensor components. The SCC300 is the 3rd generation of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) 4DoF (four-degrees-of-freedom) and 5DoF (five-degrees-of-freedom) inertial sensors that realize high-performance for safety-critical automotive applications. The new device consists of versions of an X-axis, Z-axis, and XZ-axis angular rate sensor and a 3-axis accelerometer sensor.
Infineon Technologies AG will expand its XENSIV™ 3D magnetic sensor family TLx493D. At its in-house digital trade show “Virtual Sensor Experience”, the chipmaker will present a new device for industrial and consumer applications: the TLI493D-W2BW. It uses the latest 3D Hall generation from Infineon and is housed in an extremely small wafer-level package. With an 87 percent smaller footprint and
