Google increases IoT user privacy with Eddystone beacon
Google announced a new more secure version of its Eddystone beacon format to protect user privacy, called Eddystone-EID. Eddystone-EID protects user privacy in an app by broadcasting secure beacon signals, including website address URLs, using what’s termed a ‘rotating ephemeral identifier’. According to Google, this will allow manufacturers to manage access to beacons to avoid …
Green Hills supports Renesas’ R-Car autonomous vehicle project
Green Hills Software is targeting the design of secure autonomous vehicles with its Integrity real-time operating system (RTOS) and Multivisor virtualisation software which now supports the Renesas’ R-Car H3 system-on-chip (SoC). The 64-bit secure virtualisation platform was partially developed with the specific capabilities of the R-Car H3 in mind. The platform meets the functional safety …

UK looks to lead superconducting spintronics computing
Cambridge scientists are to design a architecture for superconducting spintronics computing, which could dramatically cut the energy costs of high-performance computing. Spintronics, which stores and processed data as the spin of electrons, in principle could save power compared with electronics because it avoids moving charge around. It is also potentially fast. “Given the energy-efficiency of …
Education According To Mr Bell
As one of Edinburgh Royal High School’s less distinguished students, Alexander Graham Bell resented education conducted under strict discipline and consisting of memorising facts by rote. Bell derided the system of “giving out a certain amount of work which must be carried through in a given space of time and putting the children into orderly …
CambridgeIC 14bit inductive shaft encoder copes with misalignment
Fabless chip maker CambridgeIC has improved the accuracy and speed of its non-contact position sensing technology. Implemented in the firm’s CAM502 chip, it delivers 5,000 position sample/s, either linear or angular, and 14 bits of resolution using resonant inductive sensors. In operation, two passive resonant LC circuits, mounted on a single small PCB (see image) are …

Osram epitaxy boosts high power led efficiency
Osram Opto has cut led light output droop by optimising its epitaxial processes. At a current density of 3A/mm², quantum efficiency of the has been increased 7.5%. Under laboratory conditions and driven at 3A/mm2, 740 lm typical luminous flux was produced from QFN LED package (6,200K, Cx 0.319, Cy 0.323, single-chip LDxyz). At low current densities …
Graphene-based sensor could detect sick buildings
Researchers at the University of Southampton claim to have developed a graphene-based sensor that can detect harmful air pollution in the home with very low power consumption. The sensor, which is the result of a collaboration with the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), detects individual CO2 molecules and volatile organic compound (VOC) …
Osram adds build-your-own applications for Lightify smart bulbs
Open APIs allow home users to tailor LED lights to respond to any cue. The APIs come with instructions to maximize the capabilities of the smart bulbs.
