Speeding Up Electrical Vehicle Development With Designer-Centric Thermal And Electromagnetic Simulation And Analysis

By Puneet Sinha - 04 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

By 2040, 54% of new car sales and 33% of the global car fleet is predicted to be electric [1]. More than six countries have announced a ban on internal-combustion engines. China is expected to be the largest market for electrical vehicles (EVs), which is driving automakers to make aggressive rollout plans for EVs. Some of the important trends driving EV development are getting more than 200 ... » read more

Swear to tell the truth Lots of lies are told on the Internet. Shuyuan Ho of Florida State University wants to unveil those falsehoods with an online polygraph. “The future of my research is an online polygraph that could be used many different ways,” said Ho, an associate professor in the College of Communication and Information. “You could use it for online dating, Facebook, Twitter... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: Nov. 6

Camera for object recognition Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign developed a new camera that could improve object detection in vehicles. Inspired by the visual system of mantis shrimp, the camera detects the polarization of light and has a dynamic range about 10,000 times higher than today's commercial cameras. "In a recent crash involving a self-driving car, th... » read more

Streamlining Public EV Charging

By Dirk Vogel - 01 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

It’s really quite simple. Do we, as a society, want to see more electric vehicles (EVs) on the road? What will it take for you to consider an EV? If widespread adoption is to occur, the one thing we must improve upon is the public EV recharging station. Up until now, EV charging at home has been a rather straight-forward process. The driver plugs the vehicle in during the evening hou... » read more

Security for MEMS, Sensors

By Jeff Dorsch - 30 Oct, 2018 - Comments: 0

Napa, Calif. — The role of MEMS and sensors is growing as more devices are connected and more intelligence is added into those devices. But that has created its own set of issues involving security and privacy. “Our strategic landscape is changing,” observed Cynthia Wright, principal cybersecurity engineer at The MITRE Corp. and CEO of Synthus, during a keynote speech on day one of the... » read more

Week in Review: IoT, Security, Auto
