Omron Electronic Components has a face recognition module which it claims has a maximum recognition speed of up to ten times that of the existing unit. A characteristic of the module, says the supplier, is that face recognition functionality can be added to a system without the need to understand the algorithms or the optical …

Intel has started sampling its Stratix 10 FPGA, which uses Intel’s 14nm tri-gate (finfet) process. Claimed benefits over the last generation of Stratix are: 2x core performance 5x the density Up to 70% lower power than Stratix V (equivalent performance) Up to 10 TFlops single-precision floating point DSP Up to 1 Tbit/s memory bandwidth with …

The University of Southampton, has demonstrated a memristor artificial neural network (ANNs). “If we want to build artificial systems that can mimic the brain in function and power we need to use hundreds of billions, perhaps even trillions of artificial synapses, many of which must be able to implement learning rules of varying degrees of …

Enormous financial and technology hurdles continue to plague the development of 450mm wafers, says IC Insights. Ambitious goals to put 450mm wafers to use have been scaled back. IC manufacturers are instead maximizing their manufacturing efficiency using 300mm and 200mm wafers. IC Insights’ Global Wafer Capacity 2016-2020 report shows that worldwide capacity by wafer size …

Gadget Masters and their projects aren’t about making money, I would say. More about the fun and learning of experimentation and protyping. However, when it comes to compiling parts lists, you certainly don’t waste any money and spend more than you need to.

In 1921, the year after he received his Nobel Prize, Einstein lectured on The Theory of Reltivity at the Sorbonne. “If my relativity theory is verified, Germany will proclaim me a German and France will call me a citizen of the world,” said Einstein. “But if my theory is proved false,” he added, “France will …
