The Earth Clock

“The Earth Clock is a project I made in order to visualize the face of the earth exposed to the sun in real time! In the nature the sun-rays are almost parallels because the sun is far away, that is …

The Future of AI Needs Better Compute: Hardware Accelerators Based on Analog Memory Devices

“Software-equivalent accuracy achieved with analog memory for faster, lower power neural network training Imagine personalized Artificial Intelligence (AI), where your smartphone becomes more like an intelligent assistant – recognizing your voice even in a noisy room, understanding the context of different …

VGA Painting Program

“Project by: Adam Klein, Ian Strachan, Brandon Slater The project that we set out to complete was to store, parse, and display information from a USB mouse in the form of a painting program. The idea behind the project is …

3D Printer Thermal Runaway Watchdog / Thermistor Tester

“Most 3D printer firmware includes some sort of thermal runaway protection, a feature that monitors the heaters and shuts the printer down if it notices something gone wrong. You should always enable the thermal runaway protection in the firmware. However …

Arm Mbed OS 5.9 release: Focus on low power, robustness and ease of use

“About this release Mbed OS 5.9 includes the release of device statistics APIs, which allow you to gather critical device information. This is a first step toward giving you power to remotely diagnose the health of IoT devices deployed …

“Finding may shed added light on, offer treatment hope for brain-wasting diseases Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine researchers have synthesized the first artificial human prion, a dramatic development in efforts to combat a devastating form of brain disease …

Electronic skin stretched to new limits

“A metal carbide within a hydrogel composite senses, stretches and heals like human skin for use in medicine and robotics. An electrically conductive hydrogel that takes stretchability, self-healing and strain sensitivity to new limits has been developed at KAUST. “Our …

Exact Optical Frequencies on Demand

“Caltech’s “fine-toothed” optical comb contributes to a fomenting technological revolution In 2014, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) launched the Direct On-Chip Digital Optical Synthesizer (DODOS) program, with the goal of finding a way to synthesize optical frequencies …

Increase System Performance in Closed-loop Control Applications with New PIC and AVR MCUs

“From pool pumps to air handling units, closed-loop control is one of the most fundamental tasks performed by embedded systems. Advancements in the architecture of PIC® and AVR® 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) have optimized the devices for implementing closed-loop control, enabling …

Interfacing With the Brain

“New material improves brain-machine interfaces Chris Bettinger and his group have created a hydrogel material and fabrication process for electrodes that stick to the brain, matching its soft, squishy makeup in order to keep the body from rejecting electronic probes …
