Innovative laser & sensor tech transforming vehicles & consumer electronics

Printed electronics conquering many industry & application sectors, says LOPEC

- Elon Musk, Bill Gates & Steve Jobs probably all wished they had this when they started out! (14/03/2019)
  
  Arrow Electronics & Freelancer.com launch a new partnership designed to revolutionise the way makers, startups, and small & large technology firms alike create – accelerating how new tech products & hardware are designed, manufactured & delivered to market!
- Getting touchy-feely with touchscreen design (01/03/2019)
  
  Cypress Semiconductor uses simulation to optimise touchscreen design for use in diverse products including smartphones, laptops, automotive and industrial applications, home appliances, and more.
- High drive touch controllers unlock new options for games designers (01/03/2019)
  
  Appearance and UX go hand-in-hand in the design of good games, with developers constantly trying to improve both. Casinos and arcades are intense environments with lots of visual and audible stimuli, with games competing for attention. This article explains how new touch controllers are addressing this by enabling more exciting and more capable designs than ever before.
- Power supplies and displays for medtech and the governing standards – to ensure maximum patient and operator safety (17/09/2018)
  
  Medical power supplies differ from standard AC DC converters by virtue of having very low leakage currents. All of the medical power supplies provided by Relec Electronics meet the relevant standards, including the globally-recognised EN60601-1 and UL60601-1.
- Giving small devices a bigger visual impact (16/03/2018)
  
  Affordably upgrading the UI of a small, MCU-based device can be achieved using skilful management of hardware resources and software design. Understanding the interactions between the MCU and TFT-LCD helps achieve an optimal trade-off between factors such as MCU power and performance, and screen resolution and size.
- Graphics display-based HMIs: capabilities of the latest MCUs (08/03/2018)
  
  Research shows that few embedded designers will be immune over the next five years from pressure to dramatically enhance the capabilities, mode of operation and appeal of the HMIs in their products. This piece explores some of the driving factors and options available.
- Miniaturised medical interconnects serve rapid evolution in medtech (05/02/2018)
  
  This article discusses how technological demands from hospitals, practitioners and patients is driving miniaturisation of equipment, sensors and probes – and how cable and connector manufacturers are responding.
- VR as never before – haptic feedback in military training (06/09/2017)
  
  EPDT talked to Nigel Clarke, CEO of Morgan Innovation & Technology (MIAT), who discussed MIAT’s RealSim technology: a haptic feedback glove they are developing which aims to bring a human-like sense of touch to military professionals – immersed in a vigorous military training simulation.
- Power-conscious display design to optimise user experience (15/08/2017)
  
  Thinking creatively about the needs of the user interface can help meet challenging power and cost targets when designing products for use in environments, ranging from homes or offices to cars or factories. This piece explores how to approach designing power-conscious displays to optimise UX (user experience).
