Part 1 looked at the difficult, costly, and lengthy journey from concept to a successful launch. Part 2 looked at the severe problems of the HST discovered after launch, and Part 3 looked at what has been learned from the Hubble “experience.” The final installment of this story looks at the plans for a post-Hubble […]
The Hubble Space Telescope: Part 3
Part 1 looked at the difficult, costly, and lengthy journey from concept to a successful launch. Part 2 looked at the severe problems of the HST discovered after launch. Part 3 of this story looks at what has been learned from the Hubble “experience.” There are many lessons from this expensive disaster turned into spectacular […]
The Hubble Space Telescope: concept, delay, embarrassment, despair, and finally – jubilation, Part 1
The stunning images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) (Figure 1) over the past two decades, using a variety of optical instruments and sensors, have transformed our view, literally and figuratively, of the cosmos. But the Hubble’s story is also one of project conception, engineering persistence, joy, misery, embarrassment, improvisation, rehearsal, and eventual redemption. […]
Exploring connectors for the industrial IoT
Industrial IoT (IIoT), or Industry 4.0, is revolutionizing the way factories, suppliers and customers share their digital knowledge. From process control and automotive assembly, to robotics and the food and beverage industry, the concept behind Industry 4.0 touches all industries. However, the benefits of IIoT are not available at the flick of a switch. To […]
Autonomous vehicle sees with LiDAR eyes
Automakers are struggling to deliver the first commercially available fully autonomous car (SAE Level 5). There are a lot of vision technologies and sensors available, but fine-tuning them has proved to be challenging. Cars need to “see” objects, moving or stationary, from far away enough to react and make driving decisions. One of the most […]
What makes a winning sensor?
At Sensor Expo 2019 in San Jose, CA, Travis Taylor, an Associate MTS at Maxim Integrated, demonstrates the Health Sensor Platform 2.0 that won the Sensors Expo 2019 Innovative Product of the Year Award. It can measure electrocardiogram (ECG), optical heart rate and temperature. In addition to its wrist-worn display, the measured information can be […]
Data injection — Testing autonomous sensors through realistic simulation
Proof that autonomous vehicles are safe to put on the road begins with rigorous models of the sensors that guide them. Holger Krumm | dSPACE GmbH Onboard sensors are critical for autonomous vehicles to navigate the open road, but the real environment is full of obstacles. Everyday interferences such reflective surfaces, whiteout conditions, fog, rain, […]
Beyond Moore’s Law: New solutions for beating the data growth curve
By Daniel Joseph Barry, VP Strategy and Market Development, Napatech Many of the latest innovations in cloud, enterprise, and telecom networks are predicated on the assumption that the power of server CPUs will continue to grow in line with Moore’s Law. This law predicts that the number of transistors per square inch will double every […]
How to tackle the tough stuff around IoT security – Part 2
In part 1 of this interview with Jason Soroko, CTO of IoT for Sectigo, and Alan Grau, former president and owner of Icon Labs and now VP of IoT/Embedded solutions at Sectigo, we learned how the acquisition of Icon Labs by Sectigo was a strategic move to being able to offer end-to-end and purpose-built IoT […]
How to tackle the tough stuff around IoT security – Part 1
Perhaps recognizing that they just can’t solve all this IoT-device security stuff alone, we are beginning to see movement by IoT device manufacturers to look to security platform and IT security experts to help enable device security end-to-end — from manufacture to implementation in the field. This past May, CA (Certificate Authority) and security solutions […]
