Body modded cyborg demonstrates how RFID and NFC Chips implanted in his hands allow him to live a key-free life

by Sarah Arken

This is a video of “body modification expert and self-described cyborg” Russ Foxx demonstrating how the RFID (radio frequency identification) and NFC (near field communication) chips he’s had installed in his hands allow him to live an analog key-free life by unlocking his front door, starting his motorcycle’s engine, and unlocking a concealment table he built with the chips. The NFC chip in his hand can also be scanned using an NFC-enabled Android phone to automatically download all his business contact info. THE FUTURE. No word what the horns on top of his head are capable of, but I suspect the answer would blow our minds. “They’re just decorative.” *brain explodes*

How SHP in plastic packaging addresses 3 key space application design challenges

Sponsored by Texas Instruments

TI’s SHP space-qualification level provides higher thermal efficiency, a smaller footprint and increased bandwidth compared to traditional ceramic packaging. The common package and pinout between the industrial- and space-grade versions enable you to get the newest technologies into your space hardware designs as soon as the commercial-grade device is sampling, because all prototyping work on the commercial product translates directly to a drop-in space-qualified SHP product.

Current Sense Resistor - WFC & WFCP Series

Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Vishay

If you are working on a telecom, consumer or industrial design, current sense resistors can give you a great way to detect and convert current to voltage. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Clinton Stiffler from Vishay about the what, where and how of Vishay’s WFC and WFCP current sense resistors. They investigate how these current sense resistors are constructed, how the flip-chip design of these current sense resistors reduces TCR compared to other chip resistors, and how you can get started using a Vishay current sense resistor in your next design.
