In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, we take a closer look at a IoT landscape that could not only reduce our battery power dependence but could also make a “forever battery” a reality. David Su (CEO - Atomic Technologies) and I discuss Atmosic Technologies’ holistic approach to power management, the details of their lowest power radio technology, and how their controlled energy harvesting is integral to their new SoC families. Also this week, we check out Kickstarter’s Make 100 Campaign and how FPGAs can help get your next IoT design off the ground.

Privacy by Design

Nov 16, 2018

13 min

Did you know that the United States is the world’s biggest target for cybersecurity attacks? According to Ponemon’s 2018 Cost of a Data Breach Study, 38% of the global cyber attacks were aimed at the United States. This study also found that the average time it takes to identify a data breach is 196 days. Yeah, let that just sink in for a second. So can we turn around this whole situation? In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, my guest Cynthia Wright (Principle Cybersecurity Engineer at the MITRE Corporation) and I are talking about the many layers of cybersecurity in IoT, what "The Weaponization of Everything" is all about, and why privacy by design, security by design and resiliency by design will play a vital part in the future of Internet of Things.

What has sparsity done for you lately? In this episode of Fish Fry, we investigate the challenges that surround on-device artificial intelligence processing. Megha Daga (Cadence Design Systems) and I discuss the why the presence of zeroes is becoming more and more important in the development of neural networks and how sparsity can be used for bandwidth and compute reduction. In this week’s News You May Have Missed, we check out how the the University of Adelaide is making huge strides in quantum memory technology with a little help from an atomic tractor beam and the world’s first “waveguide trap”.

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!

In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, we take a closer look at security in IoT devices with a little help from Rich Collins from Synopsys. Rich and I chat about the challenges of the SIM product lifecycle and why pre-verified hardware and software can make all the difference in your next design. Keeping with our IoT theme, we also check out why ultrasonic sensors are helping usher in a whole new era of cheesemaking.

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.

It’s that time of year again my friends, when the leaves began to fall gently to the ground and the accelerometers run free. Yes, its MEMS and Sensors Executive Congress time! Steve Whalley this week gives us a sneak peak into this year's Executive Congress. Steve and I discuss how sensor systems can enable autonomous mobility, why voice will be a new interface for autonomous mobility, and the details of for this year's Technology Showcase. Also this week, we check out a Kickstarter campaign called LogicInk - a programmable temporary tattoo that looks cool and can give you real-time information about your body and your environment.
