If you are new to radar or interested in replacing your existing sensing technology with radar, there can be a significant learning curve to both designing your product and ramping to production. In order to lower this barrier, Texas Instruments created...
By measuring changes in infrared and red light absorption in oxygenated or deoxygenated blood, a pulse oximeter clipped to a finger noninvasively monitors a person’s heart rate and blood oxygen saturation...
With lithium-ion batteries found in both small electronic devices and much larger applications such as electric vehicles and electricity grids, they naturally span a wide range of sizes, voltages and form factors...
Health care continues to evolve toward self-treatment and away from in-person appointments. In addition to helping reduce physical contact, new technologies have given the general population unprecedented access to health care tools for self-monitoring...
When designing reliable servo drive control modules, both precision and protection are critical for ensuring reliable operation. Underestimating the importance of these features in the design process could...
Remember when science fiction movies would have a scene showing a fully automated factory managed by artificial intelligence? Such factories exist now!
An autonomous factory relies on real-time communication between...
A trend in the rapid growth of smart grids is enabling more intelligent functions in residential equipment, such as smart electricity meters and data concentrators. A smart grid requires a multi-communication...
Internet of Things (IoT) and industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) have become synonymous with connected factories and making traditional factories smarter in order to reap the benefits of greater efficiency....
Sensors measure the processes in factory environments to control the conditions in the overall system through the programmable logic controller (PLC). Typical measurements are temperature, pressure, flow and level. There are different techniques that...
