The Real Secret to Becoming a Better Cook: Integrating Smart Scale Technology in Kitchen Appliances
You decide to try a new dish to surprise someone, but the dish doesn't turn out quite right. Cooking is an exact science. You can eventually get the result through trial and error, but weighing your ingredients well will help you cook a great meal. 〉〉〉Click for details Cut the last wire and release industry
To realize the full potential of Industry 4.0, factories and equipment need to be equipped with sensors. With so many sensors, wired installations are prohibitive, so wireless technologies such as WirelessHART and the upcoming Bluetooth Low Energy networks become an immediate consideration. However, the cost of battery replacement for these sensors is often underestimated. 〉〉〉Click for details What is the 4.O future of industry? The best new technologies shaping the future of smart factories
Today's terminal equipment market requires shorter product life cycles, more individually configured products, and rapid adaptation to rapidly changing consumer interests. In the manufacturing workshop, key parameters include lower resource utilization, especially lower power, faster manufacturing time, and lower production downtime. These requirements require a more complex and smarter factory that leverages the cloud and uses remote big data analysis capabilities to optimize and adapt manufacturing processes and enhance the ability to track products throughout their life cycle. 〉〉〉Click to view details Charging pile - charging station for electric vehicles
Whenever I talk to people about electric vehicles (EVs), I often hear the argument that EVs don’t have enough range to travel very long distances. While Tesla and several other automakers have introduced vehicles with ranges exceeding 200 miles, this is largely true. At the same time, there is another factor that greatly reduces the appeal of EVs: the lack of charging stations. These charging stations must be as common as gas stations in order for EVs to become popular in the market. 〉〉〉Click for details Two Ways to Save Power Using Low-Power Ethernet
“Why does Ethernet consume so much power?” is a very common question. Typical active power 10/100 Mbps Ethernet physical layer (PHY) transceivers consume 110mW to 300mW, while 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet PHYs consume 450mW to 1000mW. It is not uncommon for the Ethernet PHY to be the largest power consumer on a board and an important consideration when evaluating the thermal budget of a closed system. Currently, there are many conceptualized low-power models for Ethernet that can reduce overall system power. In this article, I will introduce two popular power saving features that can achieve lower system temperatures and reduced power costs. 〉〉〉Click for details How Accurate is Your Battery Fuel Gauge? Part 2 In Part 1 of this series, I explained the difference between measurement accuracy and metrology accuracy. I emphasized that metrology accuracy depends on the accuracy of the input variables (voltage, current, and temperature) into the algorithm you choose, as well as the robustness of the algorithm or its ability to work for different battery use cases. In addition, it is pointed out that you can evaluate the accuracy of the fuel gauge by checking the remaining power and confirming that the fuel gauge reports a value of 0% near the termination voltage and there is no obvious jump in SOC. 〉〉〉Click to view details
