The number of electronic devices that require network access is growing at a prodigious rate. Every device added to a network represents a potential security vulnerability, making it challenging to keep the cloud secure. Furthermore, emerging technological trends can also make it difficult to ensure the cloud remains secure. As an increasing number of new devices connect at the network edge, a growing percentage of them also need to operate as close to real time as possible.

Introduction Let’s talk about this engineering reality: a robot is only as capable as what it can sense. Obstacle detection, positioning, orientation, and autonomy all begin at the sensor itself and at the integrated circuits (ICs) that convert physical events into digital data with enough precision to be worth acting on.

Close-up of rectifier diodes Key Takeaways A full-wave rectifier uses both the positive half cycle and the negative half cycle of the input, producing a smoother, higher-average DC output than a half-wave rectifier.

Currently, the AR/VR industry is evolving from large, prototype devices to sleek, all-day wearable systems. This transformation is making immersive experiences increasingly defined by the intelligence and adaptability of the supporting software stack. TDK has developed Direct Retinal Projection (DRP) technology to enable practical AR experiences, providing unmatched clarity, zero focal strain, and a compact, comfortable form factor suitable for all-day wear.

Industrial systems are entering a new era where the boundaries between the digital and physical worlds are no longer clear lines but shared fault zones. As factories, utilities, and infrastructure providers embrace smarter automation and tighter connectivity, they also inherit a challenge that grows in lockstep with their technological progress: the urgent need to defend the machinery that powers modern life.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has moved beyond early-stage pilots and proof-of-concept deployments. Today, connected devices support critical infrastructure across energy, logistics, mobility, and healthcare. In these and other sectors, IoT devices can operate for 10 to 20 years, often in remote locations or sealed environments where physical access is difficult or impossible. Yet traditional connectivity models weren’t designed for this longevity, scale, or operational complexity.

Key Takeaways A motor control circuit is the command layer; the power circuit is the load-current layer. Contactors, overload protection, push buttons, and interlocks are the foundation of most industrial starters. A good wiring diagram shows terminal numbers, device tags, control voltage, coil logic, feedback, and trip paths. DOL, star-delta starter, soft starter, and VFD designs solve different starting-current, torque, and process-control problems.

Introduction Object detection is one of the foundational tasks in industrial automation. Whether confirming the presence of a component, tracking products on a conveyor, or verifying pallet positions in a warehouse, sensors provide the information that machines need to make decisions in real time. In real-world applications, however, reliable detection is never as straightforward as it seems. Production environments are filled with variables that can complicate sensing.

Key Takeaways Verilog is an IEEE-standard hardware description language. It uses a textual syntax to model digital logic and supports four-state values (0, 1, X, Z) that correspond to high, low, unknown, and high-impedance levels [1]. Modules form the building blocks of Verilog designs. A module encapsulates ports, nets, registers, and procedural logic. Modules can be instantiated hierarchically to build complex systems. Nets and variables differ fundamentally.

For over a decade now, Berlin-based BigRep has been the go-to hardware supplier for large-scale FDM 3D printing. It’s no surprise why: the company’s flagship BigRep ONE 3D printer, with a build space of one cubic meter, set the standard for large-format polymer AM upon its release in 2014 and has since empowered users from across diverse segments, from education to aerospace, to create big—really big—parts.
