Arduino announced the introduction of an IoT Cloud as part of its professional IoT strategy. Targeted at developers, system integrators and maker hobbyists, the Arduino IoT Cloud is an easy-to-use Internet of Things application platform that enables users to develop and manage IoT applications that solve real-life problems in a business environment or in everyday…
New Progress Toward Chip-Based Ghost Imaging
For the first time, researchers have shown that the non-conventional imaging method known as ghost imaging can be performed using a low-cost, chip-based light-illuminating device. This important step toward chip-based ghost imaging could make the imaging method practical for applications such as chip-scale biomedical imaging, light detection and ranging (LIDAR), and internet-of-things sensing devices. There…
Putting That Free Energy around You to Good Use with Minuscule Energy Harvesters
Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) developed a micro-electromechanical energy harvester that allows for more flexibility in design, which is crucial for future IoT applications. Nowadays, it would be hard to not notice that electronic devices have become incredibly small. The use of miniature sensors in the upcoming Internet of Things (IoT) era…
The Quiet Threat Inside ‘Internet of Things’ Devices
As Americans increasingly buy and install smart devices in their homes, all those cheap interconnected devices create new security problems for individuals and society as a whole. The problem is compounded by businesses radically expanding the number of sensors and remote monitors it uses to manage overhead lights in corporate offices and detailed manufacturing processes in factories. Governments, too,…
From Cable Replacement to the IoT Bluetooth 5
This white paper summarizes the various Bluetooth technologies with a focus on the physical layer in line with core specification version 5.0.
