Intelligent Indoor Air Quality Detector for Homes and Automobiles

There is a growing interest in the quality of air that we breathe, whether in the home, at school, at work or outside. A major contributor to poor air quality is a group of low boiling-point gases called volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These gases that occur naturally are produced by the human metabolism or result from a combustion or industrial process.

There is increasing evidence that VOCs contribute to the incidence of respiratory disease and related healthcare costs. In the workplace, it is assumed that they adversely impact absenteeism and can also cause major loss in productivity as a result of what is known as sick building syndrome. Even if harmless to humans, many VOCs are highly odorous and contribute to unpleasant smells.

Barometric sensors for battery operated mobile devices

Two MEMS-based barometric pressure sensors from Omron are said to be specifically designed to support height and pressure measurement in drones, smartphones, pedometers and other battery powered mobile systems.

The 2SMPB-02B and 2SMPB-02E sensors are said to provide stable and reliable height and pressure measurements, allowing changes in elevation of 2m to be reliably recorded.

Developed as an evolution of the blood pressure gauge, the sensors have been specifically remodelled for mobile applications and measure 2.0 x 2.5 x 0.85mm in size.

With a built-in low noise 24bit A/D converter, the barometric sensors feature digital control and output via I2C / SPI interfaces and automatically power down non-working circuits to minimise the power consumption.

Individual calibration parameters are stored in One Time Programmable-ROM, and are retained when the system is powered down. An integrated temperature compensation circuit helps ensure accurate absolute pressure measurements.

Nanusens solves MEMS inertial sensor stiction problem

“Our first silicon nano-sensor samples from GLOBALFOUNDRIES exceeded our expectations showing outstanding resilience to stiction, with the devices going through more than 10,000 switching cycles, each equivalent to more than 1000G shocks,” says Nanusens’ CEO, Dr Josep Montanyà i Silvestre. “and the sensitivity is an order of magnitude above what is needed for a motion sensor in most applications.”

The problem of stiction in MEMS is caused by attractive forces that occur on microscopic levels such as Van der Waals and Casimir.

These are surface area dependant and not mass dependant. In an inertial sensor design, there is a proof mass connected to a spring.

This mass moves when there is an acceleration and the movement is detected by the mass acting as one electrode and the change in capacitance is measured relative to a second fixed electrode.

Self-driving car tech just took a big step closer to mainstream

Major car part supplier Delphi has inked a deal with a major LIDAR company, baking laser scanners into its turnkey kit for autonomous cars. The deal will see Innoviz Technologies supply solid-state LIDAR scanners to add to Delphi’s work-in-progress system, which should give car-makers a shortcut to vehicles that can drive themselves. While Delphi might not be a household name, the vehicle parked outside many of those houses are likely to have at least some of the company’s components inside.

That heft as a tier one supplier in the auto industry is what Delphi is counting on with its autonomous car system. The company has most recently been working on integrating the various sensors required for self-driving vehicles to understand the environment around them in a way that doesn’t look out of place compared to a regular, “dumb” vehicle. Back in May, for instance, we took a test ride in a customized Audi that, if it wasn’t for the Delphi wrap, probably wouldn’t be recognized as an SUV that could pilot itself.

One of the lingering issues around that move to sensor discretion has been LIDAR. A portmanteau of “light” and “radar”, the sensors have gained popularity in recent years for the technology’s ability to create 3D maps in real-time. Often seen mounted atop autonomous cars, they spin at high speed and bounce lasers off the surrounding area, building up a point cloud of depth information. From that, the vehicle can figure out what objects are around it, and how they’re moving.

Autonomous Cars Face a Slew of Sensory, AI, and Communications Challenges

Object-detection, communication, navigation, safety, and security are just a few of the challenges facing autonomous car makers. Many of these require advanced sensory and communications technologies, as well as advances in artificial intelligence (AI).

Presently, intelligence-based features on “semi-autonomous” cars include adaptive front lighting, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, self-parking, blind-spot detection, and emergency assist braking. But getting to the next level of truly driver-less autonomous cars requires greater use of AI, a robust global navigation satellite system (GNSS), and advanced sensing capabilities—tasks that are much more complex and challenging.

Sophisticated mapping and data analytics are needed for autonomous vehicles to be effective. The challenges will be even tougher for overseas car makers whose roadways and regulations are totally different from those in the U.S. and Canada. Car companies must also get legislative approvals to survey roadways and show studies on what affects the communities involved where such mapping occurs.

MEMS and wireless options: User localization in cellular phones

Navigation has been revolutionized by micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) sensor development, offering new capabilities for wireless positioning technologies and their integration into modern smartphones.

These new technologies range from simple IrDA using infrared light for short-range, point-to-point communications, to wireless personal area network (WPAN) for short range, point-to multi-point communications, such as Bluetooth and ZigBee, to mid-range, multi-hop wireless local area network (WLAN, also known as wireless fidelity or Wi-Fi), to long-distance cellular phone systems, such as GSM/GPRS and CDMA.

With these technologies, navigation itself has become much broader than just providing a solution to location-based services (LBS) questions, such as “Where am I?” or “How to get from start point to destination?”

It has moved into new areas such as games, geolocation, mobile mapping, virtual reality, tracking, health monitoring and context awareness.

MEMS sensors are now essential components of modern smartphones and tablets. Miniaturized devices and structures produced with micro-fabrication techniques, their physical dimensions range from less than 1 micrometer (μm, a millionth of a meter) to several millimeters (mm).

The types of MEMS devices vary from relatively simple structures having no moving elements to complex electromechanical systems with multiple moving elements under the control of integrated microelectronics.

How IT sensors help businesses cut carbon footprint

The accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in our atmosphere has led to noticeable changes in natural systems. Ocean acidification and increasing ocean temperatures are damaging marine ecosystems. Each year, at least eight million tonnes of plastics find their way into the ocean - which is equivalent to dumping the contents of one bin lorry into the ocean every minute. Further still, the increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events are putting many more at greater risk.

We all know that to limit the likelihood of disruptive and potentially catastrophic change to our climate and ecosystems, public and private institutions across the planet will need to develop and implement mitigation and adaptation strategies. 

This bleak outlook needs to serve as a call to action for governments, businesses and the general public alike to do their part to enact change. But where to start?
