The Importance Of Power Conversion Technologies In The Production Of Green Hydrogen


Global demand for green hydrogen is high and rising fast. Some studies predict that the electrical power demand to produce green hydrogen will be 4500 GW by 2050, compared to today’s (2023) electrical power demand of around 25 GW. This exponential growth will be fueled by green hydrogen which will reduce the carbon footprint of existing industries that use hydrogen as a feedstock, and by the ... » read more

Enabling The Next Generation Of Smarter Self-Navigating Robots Using Hybrid ToF Technology


Previous generations of robot vacuum cleaners have used a random pattern for cleaning that is inefficient and slow. Next-generation robots are much smarter and generate a map of the environment using sensors to localize themselves. This provides users with a floorplan of their home, from which the rooms and areas can be selected for cleaning or restricted from access. The new robots accomplish ... » read more
