Sensonor Technologies launch high performance gyro module STIM210
STIM210 is a low cost, low weight and power and high reliability 3 axis gyro module. Weighing only 55grams, bias stability over the operating temperature range of 10 deg/h and a bias instability of 0. 5 deg/h, STIM210 offers an immediate choice to system designers to displace large, expensive, fragile and prone to wear current […]
Micro flow switch and bubble detector for liquids
The sensor makes fluidic systems more reliable by enabling the detection of liquid flow within the range of a few ml/min and less. For such measurements the sensor offers a short response time below 100 ms. Its output signal of either 0 or 5 volts indicates whether the current flow rate is above or below […]

The RF393x family (RF3931, RF3932, RF3933, RF3934) consists of 30 to 120 W GaN unmatched power transistors assembled in a […]
Transphorm Inc. to ramp production of power conversion technology with Aixtron 6-inch GaN-on-silicon system
Aixtron says that the new system will be used to ramp up Transphorm´s production capabilities of GaN devices for efficient and compact power conversion. Transphorm reportedly plans to transfer the company´s GaN on Si material growth technology to large scale production of its power conversion modules. The power conversion modules help simplify the design and […]
Teams Selected For Red Bull Creation Following Nationwide Search
Circuit boards were soldered, sheets of metal sawed methodically, voltage cranked up to a million and of course, many things were set on fire. Red Bull Creation’s call for submissions had been answered. For the alarmingly innovative, the qualifier rules were simple: Assemble a team of four, build an invention which “hacks the past to […]
Web summit considers cyber-nonproliferation pact
LONDON (AP) — America’s new cyber czar said Wednesday that international law and cooperation – not another treaty – was enough to tackle cybersecurity issues for now. Christopher Painter, coordinator for cyber issues for the U.S. State Department, declined to comment on a Wall Street Journal report Tuesday that said the Pentagon was considering a […]
