- Challenges & issues in RF testing for wireless products (01/06/2021)
  
  Designers often want to test the performance of RF wireless products, such as Bluetooth modules, as part of the product selection process. However, they may find the final performance of their products in the field subsequently bears little relationship to their lab tests.
- IT vs OT: reduce overheads & downtime with OT to IT convergence (01/06/2021)
  
  The convergence of IT (information technology) into OT (operational technology) machinery opens the door to a world of transparency & risk mitigation not normally available in the industrial space – and reducing downtime, overheads & operational issues are just some of the benefits to making the transition into an IIoT (industrial IoT) integrated OT installation.
- Sensor-to-satellite: democratising the IoT (01/06/2021)
  
  Alastair Williamson, CEO at Cambridge-based experts in secure, intelligent connectivity for IoT & 5G, Wyld Networks, looks at the progress to democratise the Internet of Things (IoT) & how the next generation of sensor-to-satellite solutions provides the key to delivering truly affordable, universal access…
- Design Engineering Expo: Propelling the future of design (01/06/2021)
  
  Design Engineering Expo, part of Manufacturing & Engineering Week, is the brand new event for the sector, taking place at the NEC, Birmingham on the 7-8 June 2022.
- Graphene Hall sensor optimised for cryogenic applications, including quantum computing (01/06/2021)
  
  Graphene Hall effect sensor from Paragraf enables commercial organisations to accurately measure high magnetic field strengths at cryogenic temperatures, increasing manufacturing throughput by quicker magnet mapping, replacing existing NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) probe mapping stages.
- Moving on up in frequency: D-band mmWave technology for next gen 5G xHaul (01/06/2021)
  
  The deployment of 5G networks has brought a demand for high-capacity, high-speed wireless links for backhaul. While E-band (71-76GHz & 81-86GHz) links remain in widespread & growing use, providing 10-20Gbps wireless connectivity for backhaul, fronthaul & midhaul (collectively known as xHaul), a recent GSMA report highlighted that evolution towards higher frequency bands will be essential to make a wider amount of spectrum available & to meet future xHaul requirements up to 100Gbp
- High quality sapphire components support fundamentals of electronics & fluid analysis (01/06/2021)
  
  Sapphire bonding technology from Kyocera enables utilisation of the material’s chemical resistance, high strength, plasma resistance & translucence for usage in cutting-edge semiconductor, fluid analysis & applied physics applications.
- Manufacturing & Engineering Week launches at NEC, Birmingham, June 2022 (27/05/2021)
  
  A brand new industry event celebrating the best in UK manufacturing & engineering excellence & innovation launches at the NEC, Birmingham in June 2022, comprising of three sector specific events: Design Engineering Expo, Engineering Expo & Manufacturing Expo.
- Smart city trial in Rome using intelligent vision sensors to reduce traffic, optimise public transportation & support pedestrian safety (27/05/2021)
  
  Working with Sony, Rome has begun three smart city trials to cut pollution & congestion from people looking for parking spaces, reduce pedestrian crossing accidents & minimise overcrowding on buses – all using Sony’s artificial intelligence (AI) image sensor, the IMX500.
