The European Space Agency’s European Data Relay System has gained its second data-relay satellite, EDRS-C. The ESA describes this system – dubbed the “SpaceDataHighway” – as the most sophisticated laser communication network ever designed. EDRS-C helps Earth-observing satellites to transmit large quantities of date to Europe in near-real time. This is the second operational node ...

Toshiba has introduced a constant-current 2-phase bipolar stepping motor driver, which is designed for automotive use, and is claimed to streamline motor system implementations. It delivers a sine-wave output signal (with up to 1/32 incremental steps supported) while requiring only a simple clock input. The need for a sophisticated microcontroller unit (MCU) or dedicated software is ...

A cobalt-free high-energy lithium-ion battery is possible, according to the University of Texas at Austin. The cathode is made from 89% nickel, then manganese and aluminium, part of a group of alloys dubbed NMAs. They were compared with high-nickel (both also 89%) cobalt-inclusive alloys from groups called nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) and nickel-cobalt-aluminium (NCA), described as “the cathode materials of ...

German researchers have found a way to identify deep fake images by converting them to the frequency domain using the discrete cosine transform. The team, from the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and Casa (Cyber security in the age of large-scale adversaries), point those sceptical about deep fakes to the website www.whichfaceisreal.com – a website whose data set was ...

Display Technology, the UK subsidiary of Fortec Elektronik, offers a touch screen option for the BLO-Line monitors that are certified for fire protection. Integrated touch control is usually ruled out for fire monitors as the fire-protection glass used in the monitors is constructed in such a way that a PCAP touch sensor will not function ...
