AMS has boosted the performance of its existing CCS801 and CCS811 volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor IC with up-dated software. The chips sense a relative value for total VOC (TVOC), or equivalent CO2 (eCO2) Two things have changed: The 48hour initial burn-in period have been cut to an hour for three of the five operating modes. Air quality ...

CML Microcircuits of Essex has launched a baseband processor that includes both DMR and dPMR standards. The chip embeds multiple low rate vocoders including AMBE+2 (Digital Voice Systems) and RALCWI (CML’s proprietary technology). In its digital mode the chip, designated SCT3258TD, can sense the presence of analogue PMR and automatically switch operating mode. This enables ...

The Chinese Academy of Sciences is applying the art of Kirigami to the science of nano-scale manufacturing. The Academy’s researchers use a focused ion beam to cut a precise pattern in a free-standing gold nanofilm, then use the same beam to pull the nanopattern into a 3D shape. The pulling forces were induced by heterogeneous ...
