Searching for the Perfect Artificial Synapse for AI
What’s the best type of device from which to build a neural network? Of course, it should be fast, small, consume little power, have the ability to reliably store many bits-worth of information. And if it’s going to be involved in learning new tricks as well as performing those tricks, it has to behave predictably […]
From Proof-of-concept to Product: Designs of a MEMS Sensor
Understanding the System We are developing a tank fluid-level monitoring system. This system can be deployed in breweries, wineries, and other beverage facilities at the IoT edge to collect the status of the fluid levels and to notify technicians proactively if there are any issues (such as leaks). We have modified the system (Figure 1) […]

To assess the effects of Venezuelas ongoing health crisis, CHR member Dr. Chris Beyrer organized and supported a team of public health and medical professionals from Johns Hopkins University that joined researchers from Human Rights Watch on a trip to Venezuelas borders.
Micrometer-Scale Mechanical Switches Work at Just 50 Millivolts
Experts dream that one day much of the Internet of Things (IoT) will power itself. But the trickle of energy most prototype systems can gather from the environment through ambient heat, light, radio waves, or even the metabolism of bacteria don’t easily give you enough voltage to power today’s transistors. One solution: ditch the transistors in […]
Industrial HMI in a package
Once you upgrade to the high-end MPU space, ease-of-use is typically lost, as architectures and software environments bear their inherent complexities. But with MCUs clearly showing performance limitations, designers aiming to upgrade to high-performance will inevitably face the complexity challenge. There is only one exception to this rule, Renesas RZ/A embedded MPUs. With a large […]
