Sensors of the same type don’t necessarily measure the same “things”
When evaluating different motion sensors, consider the number of axes your device needs to measure for your application. Then, consider the possibilities that could be unlocked by measuring additional–or different–axes. Choosing the right sensor capability early in your development process will lead to…
Smart Technology for Diabetes Diagnostics
Improved accuracy in blood sugar measurement is helping healthcare providers make more accurate diagnoses of diabetes. Through real-time test results, healthcare providers can determine whether a person has diabetes and which type.

Smart Toys and Accessories for Pets – Ambiq
Smart pet toys and accessories may look like regular pet items, but some are, in fact, Bluetooth® or Wi-Fi® connected IoT devices that the animal’s owner can operate through a smartphone app. These battery-powered devices can help keep pets mentally stimulated, reduce boredom,…
Driving piezo actuators with linear amplifier
Piezo actuators are widely used in today’s applications. They are available in all kinds of shapes and relatively cheap. Large forces can be produced at precise and small movements. However, the capacitive character, the required high voltages and currents make the control of piezo actuators difficult. The solution to this problem is the use of power-operational amplifiers. In this TOP…
