Eggtronic E2WATTⓇ Wireless Power Supply Technology Offers a Route to Wireless Charging in Higher Power Applications Including Home Appliances and Electric Vehicles

MODENA, Italy, 1st June, 2021 — Eggtronic, the innovative leader in power electronics, has announced E2WATT®, a new AC power technology that will boost the power, efficiency, charging distance and data transmission capabilities of wireless charging applications.

Offering efficiency comparable with the best conventional wired AC adapters, E2WATT provides the foundation for taking future mobile charging designs into new segments including laptops, AV equipment, and even home appliances and electric vehicles.

Traditional Qi wireless power is limited by distance (usually 5 mm), and maximum power (usually up to 30 W). E2WATT technology reaches up eight times … Read More → "Eggtronic E2WATTⓇ Wireless Power Supply Technology Offers a Route to Wireless Charging in Higher Power Applications Including Home Appliances and Electric Vehicles"

Paragraf Introduces a Graphene Hall Sensor Optimised for Cryogenic Applications including Quantum Computing

1 June 2021, Cambridge, UK: Paragraf introduces the GHS-C Graphene Hall Sensor (GHS), providing the industry’s only viable approach to measuring magnetic field strengths of 7 Tesla (T) and above, at temperature extremes below 3 Kelvin (K).

Paragraf has entered volume production of the GHS-C, a Graphene based Hall sensor optimised to provide high field measurements while operating at cryogenic temperatures. It achieves this while dissipating virtually no heat. The cryogenic sensor also allows measurements directly in cold bore, removing the need for room temperature inserts, giving quality data and time savings.

The GHS-C is the only Hall … Read More → "Paragraf Introduces a Graphene Hall Sensor Optimised for Cryogenic Applications including Quantum Computing"
