While bullet-proof body armor does tend to be thick and heavy, that may no longer be the case if research being conducted at The City University of New York bears fruit. Led by Prof. Elisa Riedo, scientists there have determined that two layers of stacked graphene can harden to a diamond-like consistency upon impact.
 Use Configurable Digital IO To Give Your Industrial Controller the EdgeSponsored by Maxim Integrated As factories get bigger, centralized industrial process control has become difficult to manage. While there have been attempts to simplify the task, it remains unwieldy. In this design solution, Maxim briefly reviews the centralized approach before looking at what potential changes edge computing will bring to the factory floor. They also show a digital IO IC that allows for smaller, more adaptable programmable logic controllers (PLCs) more suited to this developing architecture. |
