What’s new in batteryless sensing?
To solve the problem of replacing batteries in ever-increasing wireless sensing applications in the Internet of Things (IoT), PsiKick has developed proprietary sensors called Smart Sense Nodes (or S2Ns) that employ ultra-low-power digital and RF circuit technologies. The S2Ns are powered by energy harvested from heat or indoor lighting that eliminates the need for a […]

Injection molding, 3D printing take their places in digital manufacturing
In the context of all the buzz around 3D printing, the term “injection molding” may sound like a ho-hum and low-tech term. However, depending upon your design requirements, there is an important place for both processes and 3D printing (additive manufacturing) is not poised to take over injection molding any time soon. Although 3D printing […]
Key design considerations for sheet metal enclosures
Even the simplest of electronic products need to be enclosed somehow. Additionally, having a basic understanding of how electronics enclosures are fabricated can go a long way to a more successful overall design and positive end-user experience. While there are electronic products that are more suitable for plastic enclosures, sheet metal electronic enclosures have the […]
