GRENOBLE, France – June 21, 2016 – Three Grenoble-based research and medical partners have been selected to join the European Union-funded IDentIFY project to significantly extend the capability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in disease detection.

The four-year IDentIFY project brings together the complementary expertise of universities and research centers in U.K, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, and Poland. It is coordinated by the University of Aberdeen in Scotland U.K.

The French IDentIFY partners are CEA (led by Leti, a CEA Tech institute, and Inac), INSERM, and G2ELab. 

The project, which is part of the … Read More → "French Research Team Helps Extend MRI Detection of Diseases & Lower Health-Care Costs"

Geneva, June 23, 2016 – STMicroelectronics has augmented its industry-leading 32-bit microcontroller development ecosystem with the introduction of the STM32Cube Low-Layer Application Program Interface (LL API) software. LL APIs enable expert designers using the STM32 ARM® Cortex®-M microcontrollers (MCU) to work closer to the hardware, down to register-level code, to optimize performance and run-time efficiency.

With the introduction of the LL APIs, the Read More → "Free Driver Software from STMicroelectronics Extends Flexibility in Designing STM32 Embedded Applications"

Premstaetten, Austria (22 June, 2016) — ams AG (SIX: AMS), a leading provider of high performance sensors and analog ICs, today launched an integrated digital temperature sensor which offers an industry-best combination of low power consumption and high accuracy in a small package.

The 1.6mm x 1mm AS6200’s typical current is 6µA at a measurement rate of 4 samples per second, and its digital measurement outputs are accurate to ±0.4°C.

The factory calibrated AS6200 integrates in a single chip the functions required in a temperature sensing … Read More → "ams’ new temperature sensor offers best-in-class combination of accuracy, ultra-low power consumption and small size"
