“A research group has created an analysis method to predict wear and seizure locations in the sliding parts of engine piston pins. The breakthrough will help limit wear and tear on transportation and industrial machinery components and make them more …
“How it works The Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor measures the approximate distance between the main trombone section (bell brace) and the slider brace. It sends this data over USB Serial to the PC running my custom software, which combines this with …
“In this project I will be showing you how to use the Home Assistant software in order to create an intruder alarm system for your home. The system will basically detect if the door gets opened without permission and then …
“Hello! Today we are going to look at this smart weather station I built. The weather station I built measures temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed and direction, and the amount of rain that falls. All the data is collected …
“World’s thinnest fully standalone DIY computer - 2mm!! I find annoying to see systems claiming “credit card computer” while at the same time being as thick as 50-60 actual credit cards. With this project I wanted to build a something …
“The ceramic-based material could be used for highly efficient actuators for aircraft or other uses, with minimal moving parts. Shape-memory metals, which can revert from one shape to a different one simply by being warmed or otherwise triggered, have been …
“Galaxies, including our Milky Way, host supermassive black holes in their centers, and their masses are millions to billions of times larger than the Sun. Some supermassive black holes launch fast-moving plasma outflows which emit strong radio signals, known as …
“Rice undergrad’s programmable, air-driven circuits blend digital, analog components In a study published online this week, robotics researchers, engineers and materials scientists from Rice University and Harvard University showed it is possible to make programmable, nonelectronic circuits that control …
“UNSW engineers have substantially extended the time that their quantum computing processors can hold information by more than 100 times compared to previous results. Two milliseconds – or two thousandths of a second – is an extraordinarily long time in the world …
News Highly integrated ultrasound transmitter from STMicroelectronics boosts image quality and shrinks form factor of handheld scanners
“STMicroelectronics has introduced a 64-channel ultrasound transmitter with new features to enhance the image quality and convenience of high-performance portable industrial and medical instruments. Today’s ultraportable scanners are almost the size of a smartphone yet deliver image quality comparable …
