On Your Mark, Get Set, MEMS!

Posted by techfocus on November 2, 2018 Comments

This week’s podcast is coming to you from the land of vineyards, grapevines, and MEMS magnetic field sensors -- Napa Valley, California! In this episode of Fish Fry, we have an interview with each of the entrants of this year’s MEMS and Sensors Executive Congress Technology Showcase (think of it like a mini "Shark Tank" for MEMS stuff). We've got the skinny on a new wearable continuous blood glucose monitor, a new wearable brain impact monitor, new "smart" skates, and more!

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'! -- Audrey Hepburn

In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, we take a closer look at how Avnet and Not Impossible Labs are collaborating on a new a category of vibratory wearables. Kevin Sellers (Avnet) joins us to discuss how these new wearable technologies will improve quality of life for people affected by motor-related issues and help the deaf to experience live music. Kevin and I also discuss Avnet's role in The Not Impossible Awards and what the future looks like for this unique collaboration. In this week’s News You May Have Missed, we investigate how Leti is hoping to change smart glasses as we know them - with a little help fro some holographic images that are projected directly into our eyes.

The Challenge of Systemic Complexity

Posted by techfocus on July 27, 2018 Comments

We’re tackling the multi-faceted challenges of embedded software development in this week’s episode of Amelia’s Weekly Fish Fry. Simon Davidmann (CEO - Imperas) joins us to discuss how familiar debug environments can make all the difference in complex designs and why RISC-V architecture is gaining traction in the EE ecosystem. Next up, Rupert Baines (CEO - UltraSoC) joins us to chat about the details of their “Smart Monitor” IP blocks and how they can oversee all the “moving” parts of your design (and keep them all playing nicely together). Also this week, we check out a new wearable skin sensor developed at Stanford University that can detect stress levels through sweat.

If I Only Had a Brain-1

Posted by techfocus on January 12, 2018 Comments

"I shall ask for brains instead of a heart; for a fool would not know what to do with a heart if he had one."
-- Scarecrow - The Wizard of Oz)

In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, we set our sights on open source hardware design. Jake Janovetz (President - Opal Kelly) introduces us to a brand new crowdfunding campaign called the Brain-1. Jake and I discuss the the details of Brain-1, why they chose crowdfunding to launch this project, and what their new SYZYGY interconnect standard is all about. We also take a closer look at world’s smallest wearable sensor called UVSense rolled out this week at the Consumer Electronics Show. We check out how this sensor technology (which is a collaboration between cosmetics company L’Oreal and Northwestern University) could how we measure harmful UV ray exposure.
