Toshiba has started shipping two new series of small surface mount LDO regulators for application in the power supply of mobile devices, imaging and audio-visual products. The 40 regulators in the TCR5BM series support a dropout voltage (VDO) as low as 100mV and a maximum output current of 500mA, while 40 additional devices in the ...

Leti has developed prototypes  of centimetre-size portable optical sensors for chemical detection of gas.  The photo-acoustic sensors are based on mid-infrared photonic integrated circuits (MIR PICs). These silicon PICs, created by integrating optical circuits onto millimeter-size silicon chips, make extremely robust miniature systems, in which discrete components are replaced by on-chip equivalents. This makes them easier to ...

ON Semiconductor is leveraging its  image sensor modeling technology to provide real-time data to the NVIDIA DRIVE Constellation simulation platform. The open, cloud-based platform performs bit-accurate simulation for large-scale, hardware-in-the-loop testing and validation of autonomous vehicles. ON’s  Image Sensor model receives both scene information and control signals from DRIVE Constellation to calculate and output a ...

The Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation (CDEI) is being set up to investigate whether  algorithms used in criminal and justice systems, legal systems financial services, recruitment and local government are biased by humans. Algorithms have huge potential for preventing crime, protecting the public and improving the way services are delivered. But decisions made in ...
