Automotive three-axis linear accelerometer works across -40 to +115°C

ST has created  three-axis linear accelerometer for “non-safety”, it said, automotive applications including anti-theft, telematics, infotainment, tilt measurement, inclination measurement and vehicle navigation. Called AIS2IH, it has user-selectable full-scales covering ±2, 4, 8 and 16g (survivable shock is 10,000g), and output data rates between 1.6Hz and 1.6kHz. There are five modes all-told, one nominally high-performance and ...

Dialog adds power-efficient SPI NOR memories

Dialog has launched a family of SPI NOR Flash devices to support power-conscious, size-constrained connected devices. The AT25EU aims to achieve the lowest power consumption and the fastest operation in order to achieve the lowest energy. The 2Mbit AT25EU0021A can perform a full-chip erase in under 10ms while, it claims, consuming less than 1% of ...

Creality adds a lower-cost resin printer to its range

Creality has added an entry-level 2K monochrome resin machine to its 3D printer range. Resin printers create solid objects from a vat of liquid photo-polymer using ultra-violet patterning. In the sub-£1,000 market, these printers have rapidly converged to designs where the active layer of the print is at the transparent bottom of a vat, illuminated from ...

Compostable plastic invented at Lawrence Berkeley

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have designed an enzyme-activated compostable plastic which can be broken down by household tap water or soil composts into reusable small molecules, called monomers, in just a few days or weeks. Most biodegradable plastics are made of either polylactic acid (PLA) or polycaprolactone (PCL) which take months to break ...
