Humidity and Moisture Sensors PEI-Genesis offers Trafag sensor and control products designed to withstand harsh environments for industries including test benching, hydraulics, engine manufacturing, ship building, railway, OEM machinery, water, and oil & gas. PEI-Genesis offers the unique capability toRead More
As advanced driver-assistance systems redefine the driving experience, innovations including software-defined vehicles and high-performance computing are reshaping the automotive industry, with interconnects representing the critical link Most electronic systems deliver and optimize predefined functionality through closely coupled hardware and software elements. Therefore, the perceived natural order of things is for functionality to define the design.Read More
Humanoid robots are a subset of general-purpose robots that include large and small robotic arms that have become an essential enabler of factory automation. The development of humanoids that utilize artificial intelligence is now in the process of blurring the line between man and machine. People have been fascinated for hundreds of years with theRead More
Meet the Connector: Proximity and Position Sensors Robotics and control systems depend on proximity and position sensors employing methods such as infrared, ultrasonic, or capacitive sensing to correctly park, position, and orient their motion in relation to the environment around them. Proximity sensors Proximity sensors detect the presence of nearby objects, often called targets, withoutRead More
Medical technology that is comfortable and easy to use, as well as offers improvements in data collection and connectivity, help shift the focus to prevention and create better patient outcomes. Going back one or two decades, at-home medical technology included some home dialysis treatment, but centered mainly on respiratory issues with portable ventilators and CPAPRead More
Edge AI offers reduced latency, faster processing, a reduced need for constant internet connectivity, and fewer privacy concerns. As demand for real-time intelligence grows, this technology represents a significant shift in how data is processed. Edge AI uses artificial intelligence directly within a device, computing near the data source rather than in an off-site dataRead More
It seems like the effects of climate change are appearing everywhere. Record levels of moisture, drought, and temperature extremes are being recorded nearly every day. Even skeptics are beginning to accept that our climate is changing in detrimental ways. The only issue remaining is if it is a result of a natural cycle or dueRead More
