loTUK Boost, a government funded programme has begun to take place in the United Kingdom. Digital Catapult is the company in charge of the entire production and has chosen Cambridge Wireless thee company to put it in to play. Beside the leading company, Cambridge there are partners located from Bristol to Yorkshire in the UK. This government ran project has been implemented in hopes of supporting the “SMEs developing internet of things (LoT) enabled services and applications using a LoRa wireless network in Cambridge.”
One of the main focuses of introducing this new innovative network is to begin to target some of the restrictions that entering into the (loT) market presents. Currently the CW programme is making great use of the LoRaWAN network.
“LoRaWAN is designed to provide Low Power Wide Area Network with features specifically needed to support low-cost, mobile, secure bi-directional communication for Internet of Things (IoT), machine-to-machine (M2M), and smart city, and industrial applications.” The Smart Cambridge programme is currently using the LoRaWAN Network that is under the Great Cambridge City Deal that was implemented in April of 2015.
Eager to complete the project the CEO of CW, Mr. Robert Driver states,” “We hope this is just the first step in encouraging all the main LPWAN technology providers to test and explore the delivery of real world solutions into Cambridge.”” Along with Smart Cambridge there has also been a total of six other partners that were chosen from wide-spread locations in the UK as well. The partners vary from many different sources such as Everynet, the LoRa Alliance, Iotic Labs, Smart Cambridge and the University of Cambridge. The project is in search of 10 more qualified companies to full fill spots in the programme and will be presented in the CW International Conference in the summer.

A first for Japanese electronics giant Panasonic, the company has progressed the global headquarters for its cooling compressor business to Singapore. Minister for Manpower Lim Swee Say publicized the company's first relocation freestanding of Japan in current decades yesterday at the official opening of Panasonic's refrigeration compressor business unit (RCBU) in Singapore. The engineering plant here, which makes refrigeration compressors, will also be altered from a conventional engineering plant into a "smart factory", which will make use of big data and make procedures more systematized.
Although workers could be worried about being replaced by robots. Even as Panasonic's function has become more manpower, it did not reduce local workers, but instead reoriented them to work alongside robots. Panasonic's reorientation of its local staff has caused a 35 per cent jump in the average income over the last five years. However, Mr. Lim said businesses might still demand precise expertise, which they cannot find in Singapore. In the case of Panasonic, they had to employ foreign workers with skills in innovative element design and process innovation. Mentioning "the complementarity of our local and foreign manpower", Mr. Lim said the foreign experts "helped to train and strengthen our locals to master these skills", improving the local workforce.
At a press conference yesterday, the company's uppermost administration vowed to keep the jobs of its 650-strong Singapore staff, even as it turns its operations in Bedok South into a smart factory. Panasonic Appliances Refrigeration Devices Singapore's manufacturing centre director Leong Mun Chong said that, overall, the allocation of the headquarters to Singapore from Kusatsu city, Shiga Prefecture, will result in an escalation in staff numbers in the RCBU unit. It could double the size of its research and development team to about 120 engineers in five years.
The company's phasing out of labor-intensive jobs will primarily affect its foreign workforce of about 350 workers, mostly from China. Panasonic wants to cut this workforce by 200 workers in the next three to five years, said Mr Leong.

The Zero W, which is the New Raspberry Pi has an 802.11n wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. It also has high-tech camera enhancements that were not on the original Zero. The new Zero makes a better computer because you most likely will not need a hub if you’re connected through Bluetooth.
We imagine you’ll find all sorts of uses for Zero W,” said co-founder Eben Upton. “It makes a better general-purpose computer because you’re less likely to need a hub: if you’re using Bluetooth peripherals you might well end up with nothing at all plugged into the USB port. And of course, it’s a great platform for experimenting with IoT applications.”
There was an official injection-moulded case created collectively by Raspberry Pi, Kinneir Dufort and T-Zero. The case includes three interchangeable lids, which can be blank, with GPIO access aperture, with camera aperture and mount.
There is also a number new of Zero distributors such as ModMyPi in the UK, PI3G IN Germany, Samm Teknoloji in Turkey, Kubii in France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Kiwi Electronics in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
Projects like this are made possible by ASAP Parts Unlimited Services. ASAP Parts Unlimited Services delivers all electronic components all around the world. ASAP Parts Unlimited Services is the premier supplier for all electronic components.
There was an article on Electronics Weekly that talks about how Infineon is selling their 5th generation CoolSet in May. This fifth generation item is the stand alone quasi resonant flyback controller and integrated power IC CoolSET. The 700 V and 800 V CoolMOSP7 are integrated together into a single package. To understand more about the product, David Manners from Electronics Weekly talks more about the Infineon.
The newly implemented cascode configuration for the high voltage MOSFET in combination with the internal current regulator provides fast startup. Light load performance is optimized through an Active Burst Mode (ABM) with selectable entry/exit thresholds. The design of the device incorporates new algorithms to minimize the switching frequency spread between different line conditions and simplify EMI filter design. Device protection includes input over-voltage protection, brown in/out, pin short to ground, and over-temperature protection with hysteresis.”
The controller is be available starting in the beginning of May 2017.
Here at ASAP Parts Unlimited, an ASAP Semiconductor owned company, we have the resources to supply a vast array of Infineon electronic products.

Recently, a major technological advancement for HDMI cables & adapters took place through Elka International. Elka International – A Taiwan Exporter, Manufacturer, and Trading Company – Has revealed the first HDMI Alternate Mode cable. This cable allows any device that has USB-C video outputs such as cameras and phones to connect with HDMI port-equipped displays such as a television. This also includes HD and 4K televisions. Previously, 4k and HD televisions connected to a USB-C device required HDMI adapters and converters that limited the features of the HDMI devices.
At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Panasonic and Cypress Semi demonstrated their development of the HDMI alt mode for USB-C specification. It is no surprise now that Elka International is working together with Cypress Semi because their EZ-PD-CCG3 silicon is doing the conversion and management work. Due to EZ-PD CCG3 USB-C controller’s upgradeability and programmability to simplify and speed up firmware development. The extravagant chip includes a crypto engine and analogue switching for non-USB signals, an ARM Vortex-m0 processor, four serial communication blocks, two 64kbyte flash memory banks, and a USB controller for USB Billboard functionality. With the use of the chip’s crypto engine and twin flash banks, the cables will have stronger resistance to hacks due to Cypress’ authenticated firmware updates.
However, the good news does not end there. There are also gate drivers that allow for control of the cable power feed up to 100W over USB-C Cables. There is also protection against over-current and over-voltage, as well as direct 2.7-21.5v operation due to the regulators. This new, powerful chip and cable technology will build higher upon the stepping stones of the HMDI cables & adapters world. To make things even more electrifying, this technology was demonstrated at the HDMI Developers Conference in Taipei. Previous to that conference, Cypress demonstrated the HDMI alt mode over USB-C at the HDMI Developers Conference in Shenzhen. It looks like the idea of streaming HD and 4K content directly from phones and cameras is not so far off anymore. For electronics parts, make sure to contact ASAP Parts Unlimited.

Do you ever remember spending time building as a kid, whether it was for recreation or a project? A popular toy that is known throughout the world is LEGOs. These tiny building blocks would spark a child’s imagination as they built whatever they desire and could. Building is an enjoyable and fun experience, and when used in correlation with a project or education a child can enhance their learning capabilities and expand their creativity.
Sony has taken this idea and connected it to the world of programming. Sony launched its KOOV robotics and coding kit in Japan and their aim is to allow children to enter into the world of creativity and design through programming. The KOOV kit allows children to assemble blocks, create robots, and learn the basics of coding through their tutorials. Also, the kids are able to connect with one another around the world and share their ideas, creations, and designs.
Kids can create with their imagination as the KOOV allows the kids to play with the program’s software, code through the software, and control robots through the software. These are controlled by seven kinds of translucent blocks that attach like LEGOs. In addition, the blocks have an array of buzzers, motors, switches, sensors, LEDs, and more. This software can completely change the future as many children will be introduced to the world of programming. Furthermore, children will be able to express their ingenuity and inventiveness through this program and continue to cultivate their imagination. With children expanding their minds through products such as KOOV, it is certain that our future will encounter exceptional technological advances.

Intel has made the move to focus on self-driving cars at CES with FPGA-boosted x86 processing. This is the new Intel Go in vehicle development platform meant for automated driving. This will have the FPGAs sit next to either an Atom or Xeon Processor. The General manger of programmable solutions at Intel, Dan McNamara stated that the FPGA and CPU based board will serve automakers to function as a reliable way of designing ADAS systems.
Some of the benefits that come with Intel’s new application is driver assistance, with a mid range 10GX and hard floating point DSP blocks, over 320 Gbits of DDR4 bandwidth, and 200 Gbits of transceiver bandwidth. It will also come with automotive sensing. This will include a stereovision system that will allow for automatic braking based on Cyclone V chips manufactured by supplier, Denso.
This breaking system will allow emergency assist breaks to stop for pedestrians at a speed of up to 50km/hr, and any other obstacles of up to 80 km/hr. It will also be able to connect to headlamp systems. Intel’s manager, McNamara also stated that the programmability will be key since it will allow car makers to offer different types of solutions that will vary by competitors. This will also create flexibility, as others will make their own versions of self-driving cars.

Something very simple yet very powerful is very important in technology and the world today, any logic circuit is very important for the technologies we have today and if it wasn’t for them we wouldn’t have all the cool instruments and gadgets that we depend on every day of our lives. These inventions are based off discoveries that physicists have made in their careers, from a basic electric circuit to the most complex and advanced processors of today have been discovered by a physicist one day and were turned into inventions another.
Today we see a team from the Michigan State University and the Florida State University innovating the technology of a transistor into a more flexible and stretchable transistor; a thin film transistor. The researchers came to use a very innovative unsorted carbon nanotube which allows the team to print a single walled carbon nanotube.
Researchers were able to come up with the right mixture solvent and blend nanoparticles to come up with a material that is capable of bending and stretching but yet act as an electronic circuit in order to be used in future electronic IC parts. Transistors are usually composed of semiconductor parts but to create the properties of a semiconductor is simply state of the art genius. Semiconductors usually consist of 3 terminal and to create that with a flexible material requires precision and accuracy which is not easy.
Semiconductors has been and will be for a long time the building block of modern technologies and electronic IC parts.
