Research Bits: Dec. 13


Electronic-photonic interface for data centers Engineers at Caltech and the University of Southampton integrated an electronic and photonic chip for high-speed communication in data centers. "There are more than 2,700 data centers in the U.S. and more than 8,000 worldwide, with towers of servers stacked on top of each other to manage the load of thousands of terabytes of data going in and o... » read more

Improving Chip Efficiency, Reliability, And Adaptability


Peter Schneider, director of Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits' Engineering of Adaptive Systems Division, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about new models and approaches for ensuring the integrity and responsiveness of systems, and how this can be done within a given power budget and at various speeds. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: Where are y... » read more

AI As A Service For Signal Processing


Reality Analytics provides AI tools, optimized for solving problems related to sensors and signals. Working with acceleration, vibration, sound, electrical, RF, and proprietary signal sets, Reality Analytics tools identify signatures of real-world events or conditions in sensor and signal data, and create software that can then spot those signals in the wild, notifying applications and devices ... » read more

Deconstructing Innovations In IoT Sensors: New Combinations


In 1883, Professor Warren Seymour Johnson (1847-1911) received his first patent for an electric tele-thermoscope, a device that could automatically control and regulate room temperature. Globally, this energy-efficient and comfortable thermostat system has been widely used in large buildings. To market his system, Johnson established the Johnson Electric Service Company, which eventually became... » read more

Radar For Automotive: How Far Can A Radar See?


In the previous entries of this blog dedicated to automotive radar, the reason for using radar and the principle of operation of the frequency modulated continuous wave radar were presented. Now, we will focus on the performance of the system, starting with its maximum detection range: how far can we detect an obstacle ahead? We need to have as much foresight as possible, to be able to detect a... » read more

Novel In-Pixel-in-Memory (P2M) Paradigm for Edge Intelligence (USC)


A new technical paper titled "A processing-in-pixel-in-memory paradigm for resource-constrained TinyML applications" was published by researchers at University of Southern California (USC). According to the paper, "we propose a novel Processing-in-Pixel-in-memory (P2M) paradigm, that customizes the pixel array by adding support for analog multi-channel, multi-bit convolution, batch normaliza... » read more

New technical paper titled "Planar Junctionless Field-Effect Transistor for Detecting Biomolecular Interactions"  was published from researchers at Max Planck Center for Complex Fluid Dynamics, University of Twente, University of Glasgow, and Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST). Abstract "Label-free field-effect transistor-based immunosensors are promising candidates for ... » read more

Don’t Put Up With Industrial Fake News


“Fake news has become a major problem, influencing elections, affecting major political events and the credibility of every piece of content on social media, fake news or not. And ‘industrial fake news’ in turn is indeed a big problem for businesses,” says Patrick Lamplmair, CEO of the European deep tech startup Tributech, data trust expert, and guest on our new #MakeIoTwork podcast epi... » read more
