Defect visual inspection using AI enables multiple emerging markets

Machine vision is enabling many existing and emerging markets. Security, manufacturing and industrial automation all use machine vision. Adding artificial intelligence (AI) inferencing at the sensor provides many benefits. Industrial automation combines ...

How will Matter help us meet the smart home promise?

The smart home has been hyped in the media since the term was first coined by The American Association of Home Builders in 1984. But the idea goes back to 1975 and the introduction of the X10 communications protocol, which was designed for data communicat...

Bright, brighter, brightest? Why a display backlight system is more than meets the eye

The human eye doesn’t perceive light in a linear way. So, if you’re looking to achieve a super-bright result, your display will need a huge amount of energy – in fact, more than double the cost of a standard display.

Colour, style and shape: the art of coverglass

How many times have you touched a glass screen today? Ten? Twenty? Thirty? More? Unless you’re actively monitoring your screen time, it’s barely even a consideration. But the kind of glass you interact with matters.

ePaper integration with PCAP

Electronic paper (also known as e-ink, electrophoretic display, or electronic ink) is a kind of electronic display that mimics the appearance of ink on paper.

Understanding trade-offs for DC-DC converters in EV charging

Within EV fast charging technologies, focus is on the crucial role of DC-DC converters in enabling efficient energy transfer. The design will be influenced by the primary commercial objective.

Why AI and embedded design share the same DNA

Intelligence comes in many forms. More of us are interacting with devices that appear to understand us. What and how they understand depends on the technology inside. How are embedded engineers implementing intelligence?

Why AI must redefine processor architectures

Artificial neural networks are complex, multi-layered and multi-dimensional arrays of interconnected numerical values. Executing the math behind those connections is at the heart of AI. This math is unlike any other in the digital domain.

Learn how AI and the latest CPM technologies optimize patient rehabilitation

Continuous passive motion (CPM) is now a critical part of patient rehabilitation. New technologies, including artificial intelligence, are helping medical OEMs take the next step to optimize patient therapy.

Using sound to capture medical data boosts device innovation

Wearable medical devices provide continuous body monitoring. Acoustic sensing is non-intrusive and the data supports early diagnosis and remote analysis. Are the stethoscope’s days numbered? That’s not likely, but new device opportunities abound.

Designers lead advances in CT scanning field

High resolution and low dose are two of the latest developments in computed tomography equipment used by medical professionals. Looking inside tells us how these innovations are being achieved.

Hitting the triple bottom line drives sustainable design

Sustainability at a corporate level continues to gain attention. Commercial success comes with social responsibility, something referred to in business as the triple bottom line and represented by the three Ps: profit, people and planet.
