Researchers at Northwestern University Develop World’s Smallest Wearable Device

by Amelia Dalton

EVANSTON – A Northwestern University professor, working in conjunction with the global beauty company L’Oréal, has developed the smallest wearable device in the world. The wafer-thin, feather-light sensor can fit on a fingernail and precisely measures a person’s exposure to UV light from the sun.

Using the DS28E18, The Basics

Sponsored by Maxim Integrated

This application note goes over the basics of using the DS28E18 1-Wire® to I2C/SPI Bridge with Command Sequencer and discusses the steps to get it up and running quickly. It then shows how to use the device with two different devices. The first device is an I2C humidity/temperature sensor and the second one is an SPI temperature sensor device. It concludes with detailed logs of each command.

Use of Advanced Sensors in Smart Industry Applications

Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and STMicroelectronics

In industrial systems, sensors can give us real-time information about the condition and operation critical machinery. By monitoring vibration, temperature, and other factors, we can get early warning of failures and do predictive maintenance - avoiding costly downtime. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Manuel Cantone of ST Microelectronics about the SensorTile Wireless Industrial Node - an integrated solution that makes industrial monitoring a snap.
