STMicroelectronics brings a new developed board to the market with less power consumption than before, this is very critical for saving energy and creating a long lasting products. STMicroelectronics is giving developers a chance to explore and evaluate Low-Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technology. Also, the board is designed using the lowest power technology such as the LoRaWan module which is available in the market today. The size of the board is very small and the power consumption is around 1.2µA. There are different electronic components and modules such as Murata that integrates an STM32L072CZ micro-controller (MCU). This model utilizes an improved modem which allows low power and long range spread-spectrum communication as it is using a minimum amount of power consumption. Also, the module is designed to be an open source so developers have access to the STM32L072 MCU. Read more >>

In a move reminiscent of Facebook’s 2012 purchase of a facial recognition company Apple has purchased an Israeli facial recognition company called RealFace. The ten-employee company buyout was valued at two million dollars. Back in 2012 Facebook’s plan was to use its petabyte library of photos as reference to identify people when viewed through a phone’s camera. Thankfully it was suppressed by security administrations in the US and Europe. Apple seems to be moving in a different direction than Facebook, using the technology as a security measure.

The computer industry has been on the rise since the early 1900s when the processors have been invented, scientists predicted that technology is going to grow and develop exponentially. They were right; if we look at the price drop in computer hardware and how that has impacted the size of computers today you can see clearly that this is true. The amount of computing technology that was found to take a space ship to the moon in the 1960s can be found in your cell phone today. This is just one way to look at it but what the semiconductor industry has for 2016 is going to be a breakthrough and exciting for the computing industry. There is a lot of talk and debate around virtual reality and how it can be utilized in the future. Some are suggesting that this is going to be a big hit in 2017 and there are already developers working on developing apps that will make virtual reality headsets a big hit. Read more >>

Electronic components are always changing and developing to the better, every year the electronic devices and components are being improved. Flex Logix has signed a deal with DARPA to allow government agencies that design ICs for the government, the US government, to use Flex Logix’s EFLX arrays. Flex Logix is allowing EFLX arrays in TSMC 16FFC process node from 2.5K to 122.5K LUTs in order to allow government companies and agencies to reconfigure RTL during any point of their design process. Chip designers will appreciate this kind of freedom because it will allow them to innovate more freely and come up with a high performance design, save energy in the process and even decrease the size and weight of their chip system. This will also allow designers to create chips that can work on multiple applications and upgrade the chip when it’s being used already. Read more >>

Energy has been a huge concern in the past two decades for numerous reasons such as pollution, global warming, and expenses. Scientists for the past hundred years and more have looked into new and sustainable methods of utilizing natural and renewable energy production that can eliminate our dependency on the poor energy system that we have today. Having said that, the energy system that we have today which runs all our cities lights and electronics, fuels our cars, our planes across the globe and gives our ships the enormous amount of energy that it needs to cross the seas and oceans. In order to change the source of energy that we are using today we need to stop depending on natural gas for energy. California has taken many initiatives towards protecting the well being of the planet and this is another initiative that California makes in order save energy and lower the cost of energy spending.

It has been known that the Raspberry Pi 3 has only connection to WI-Fi. Today in out modernized world this is not much help. Many of the connections are now able to even have cellular communication. This is necessary because soon the Raspberry Pi 3 will have the chance to be able to handle low-throughout cellular communications. This is becoming to reality. The Altair Electronics in fact has completed testing for the ALT 1160 category 1 LTE chip on the Raspberry Pi. Ever since the testing it has been made available and many people are excited for this announcement. Many people are excited for this announcement especially the company itself. The representative of the company I also very excited because this movement will bring them a much needed, long range of communications to the board computer. This will higher their reputation and convince many people to switch over to their services which will higher their revenue by a lot. Read more >>
