Hand-held camera cube reference design enables AI
Maxim Integrated Products has unveiled the MAXREFDES178# camera cube reference design, which demonstrates how Artificial intelligence (AI) applications previously limited to machines with large power and cost budgets can be embedded in space-constrained, battery-powered edge devices.
Automotive HD Link enables high-def using low-cost cables
Renesas Electronics has introduced its new Automotive HD Link (AHL) technology that enables automotive manufacturers to deliver high-definition video over low-cost cables and connectors that currently support standard-definition video. HD video is increasingly important in car safety systems for object recognition functionality.
LUXEON 2835 Commercial prioritise lumens per watt
Lumileds has introduced its new LUXEON 2835 Commercial LEDs engineered and designed to support the growing demand for a high volume, high-efficacy mid-power LED to serve commercial indoor lighting applications.
Beamsplitter for wavelengths with different polarisations
LASER COMPONENTS has developed a beamsplitter in which the combined beam of a frequency-doubled laser is split in such a way that 50% of each of the two wavelengths is split off, independent of their polarisations. The polarisation of the split beams remains unchanged.
Cleaning in EV battery production with turnkey machine
In line with the rise of the EV industry, Laserax has released a turnkey solution made specifically to clean battery modules on conveyor lines. The Battery Cleaning Machine can be powered by up to 500W of laser power to minimise cycle time when preparing surfaces for welding. It also offers unmatched cleaning quality assisted by cameras.

FN2560 EMC filter for LED lighting applications launched
Schaffner has extended its range of filters for LED lighting applications with the introduction of the new FN2560 EMC filter range. Specifically designed for attenuation requirements in the lighting industry the performance of the filter starts at frequencies as low as 9kHz.
Autofocus USB3 camera based on SONY IMX298
e-con Systems has launched a 16MP autofocus USB 3.0 colour camera, See3CAM_160 based on the SONY IMX298 image sensor with an inbuilt Image Signal Processor (ISP). See3CAM_160 is a compact single-board camera solution that houses the e-CAM160_MI298_MOD camera module based on the 1/2.8" IMX298 CMOS image sensor from SONY, and can stream 1080p (FHD) @30fps and 4K@24fps.
High-power 1800K LED alternative to HPS lamps
NICHIA has announced its 219F series of high-power 1800K LEDs, positioned as an alternative to High Pressure Sodium lamps (HPS). Global efforts to phase-out the use of HPS continue to be met with a resistance to using white LED replacements. Due to this lack of a viable and sustainable alternative, HPS have remained exempt from the list of banned products under the Minamata Convention on Mercury, meaning HPS remains ubiquitous.
Muxponders enable 400G technology over single wavelength
To affordably increase the capacify of existing networks Salumanus is now offering to the UK market the PL-4000M & PL-4000T Muxponder/Transponder from PacketLight Networks, a solutions that delivers 400G capacity over a single wavelength using pluggable line optics. The new muxponders will help telco operators and service providers speed up the UK’s digitalisation plans, facilitating the transition from copper to fibre.
