TRANSFER DATA ACROSS MOBILE DEVICES IN JUST SECONDS T
he latest technology soon to be introduced by
Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) will enable consumers to transfer a music track or high-resolution image wirelessly between devices in the blink of an eye. The company plans to
launch its family of TransferJet USB adaptors for tablets, mobile phones and PCs in Europe during the
fourth quarter of 2014. This technology offers easy to use, close proximity, wireless data transfer, safe connection and very high data throughput. Users simply have to touch two devices together to automatically enable data transfer. It is possible to specify and restrict which devices
can connect. With a maximum effective data transfer speed of 375Mbps (Megabits per second), this technology adds the ability to move a 20 second full HD video from one device to another in just a matter of a few seconds. The company advises, the first
TransferJet adaptors will be supplied in microUSB format for mobile phones and tablets based on Android OS, and USB format for PCs running Microsoft Windows.
These devices will initially be
available through retail channels in Central Europe. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price of a set of two USB dongles will be 59 Euro (approximately £47). The company highlights that, to enhance the promotion and commercial availability of these adaptor products in Europe, it will be expanding its partnerships within the market.

ENCLOSURES WITH HIGH QUALITY SURFACE FINISH
A new range of electronic enclosures has been released by OKW featuring both plastic and aluminium, for added strength and versatility. The company's latest
Synergy range features 36 individual enclosures with a very high quality surface finish. The design is claimed to specifically target modern high value handheld, desktop and
wall mounted electronics. Typical
applications include medical and therapeutic systems, measurement and control technology, home automation, peripherals, building services electronics and much more. These enclosures
feature the
company's new fast-connect system based around four internal assembly pillars which hold each enclosure together. The glass reinforced polyamide
pillars snap in to the recessed top panel, locate the assembly extrusion and are fixed to the bottom part with four stainless steel Torx T10 anti-tamper screws. Several pillars can be snapped together to create custom heights in 5mm increments (on request).

Now available from Mouser Electronics, Inc., is the Intel DK50 Series Gateway Solution for the Internet of Things (IoT). The Intel DK50 uses the Intel Galileo Arduino‑certified development board which is based on the Intel Quark SoC X1000 processor. This solution provides Internet connectivity for devices that do not directly support Internet connectivity. Based on Intel's Galileo development board, the DK50 acts as a gateway for these devices: the devices connect to the DK50 using their standard interface, while the accompanying hardware and software allows those devices access to the Internet. This allows legacy industrial devices that would ordinarily not have Internet connectivity.

An ultralow quiescent current (IQ) Hot Swap controller has been released by Linear Technology Corporation enabling safe board or battery insertion and extraction from 2.7V to 36V systems. The LTC4231 controls an external N-channel MOSFET to gently power up board capacitors, avoiding sparks, connector damage and system glitches. Device quiescent current is a mere 4µA during normal operation, dropping to 0.3µA in shutdown mode. To ensure low current operation, the undervoltage and overvoltage resistive dividers are connected to a strobed ground,
lowering their average current draw by 50 times. This device provides a compact and rugged micropower solution for hot plugging and battery protection, especially in energy conscious applications utilising solar power or energy harvesting. The LTC4231 survives and also protects downstream circuitry from reversed batteries up to -40V by controlling back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs. Undervoltage protection cuts off low voltage batteries to prevent deep discharge, while adjustable hysteresis avoids oscillations from battery recovery after load removal. Dual level overcurrent protection is provided by a timed circuit breaker and fast current limit. The 2.7V to 36V operating range accommodates a wide range of battery chemistries including lead-acid, Li-Ion and stacked NiCd. The LTC4231 is available in two
options: the LTC4231-1 remains off after an overcurrent fault, whereas the LTC4231-2 automatically attempts to turn on after a 500ms cool-down period.

Harting is utilising the Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard in its latest range of Ethernet switches to provide more power to connected system devices. PoE and its higher-power variant PoE+ are standards for the parallel transfer of power and data over twisted-pair cable. These latest switches from the company use the PoE+ standard (based on IEEE 802.3at) to offer power levels of up to 34.2W.e.
