Arveni is a European company that has developed a system remote that is powered by the ambient energy the user applies to the buttons on the remote control. While the technology is still being proto-typed, we got an exclusive look at the world's only batteryless remote control. Have a story suggestion? Want to be featured ...

One of Texas Instruments product lines is dedicated to ultra-low-power applications. At the heart of those applications is the MSP430 processor allowing engineers to design radio and other applications from harvested energy. Adrian Valenzuele, a Product Marketing Engineer at TI shows us the technology and some ...

The EnerChip solid-state battery can be used to store energy from ambient sources, like vibration, solar and heat creating zero-power devices. Steven Grady, VP of Marketing for the Cymbet Corporation shows us a few examples of this technology in use. You can order the kit in this video from Digikey. Have a story suggestion? ...

The EnerChip solid-state battery is a, “battery-on-a-chip” thin film battery that can provide back-up power ranging from a few hours to several weeks depending on the stand-by current requirements of the system. Steven Grady, VP of Marketing for the Cymbet Corporation gives us an overview of the technology. You can order the kit in this video from ...

Demonstrating the capabilities of an 8-channel Wireless EEG Monitoring Platform developed by IMEC and the Holst Centre, a steel drum ceiling design provides a responsive environment to delight visitors with an acoustic representation of their electrical brain activity. Wolfgang Eberle, Senior Scientist/Project Manager Bioelectric Systems and ...

The 8-channel EEG developed by IMEC and the Holst Centre uses a ultra low-power analog readout ASIC to wirelessly monitor patients while increasing the level of human comfort while being monitored. The system uses very low power, 1.8 mA, allowing a 160 mAh Li-ion battery to operate the system for 3 days. Wolfgang Eberle, Senior Scientist/Project ...

The GoldenEye 80 vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned ducted fan air vehicle features several acoustic dampening techniques that enable quiet hover and stare operations from altitude and an advanced flight control computer to rapidly transition from hover to forward flight dash speeds in seconds. It made its first public demonstration ...

The A160T Hummingbird unmanned aerial vehicle looks like a helicopter but is unlike any other helicopter on the market today. It features a unique optimum speed rotor technology that enables the Hummingbird to adjust the RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) of the rotor blades at different altitudes and cruise speeds. During flight, an operator can vary ...

Bob Mullins from Harmonic Drive gives a run-down of some of their featured offerings, including hollow shaft actuators and custom servo actuators. Servo actuators are an assembly of a brush or brushless servo motor, zero backlash Harmonic Drive precision strain wave gearing, and a high capacity output bearing. They are compatible with most ...

Amongst the AvantGrand's many innovations, the placement of the four-channel, three-way Spatial Acoustic Speaker System mimics the points where original grand piano samples were taken, while a Soundboard Resonator creates a non-directional sound dispersion directly in front of the player, duplicating the subtle reproduction of the buildup of ...
