TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIAL


Overcoming Challenges of Fully Autonomous Vehicles


As the automotive industry moves toward more automated, connected vehicles, engineers are challenged to identify technologies that can process and transfer large volumes of data in real-time without adding significantly to the price of the vehicle. For example, Level-5 autonomous driving (meaning the vehicle is capable of safely


performing all driving functions on its own) requires a combination of: • radar • Lidar • video camera technology; and, • high-performance, on-board computer systems to perform highly complex functions.


Accommodating all the necessary cameras, sensors and electronic control units


(ECUs) that enhance connectivity and ensure autonomous vehicle safety has proven to be problematic due to the resulting electromagnetic interference (EMI) and excess heat being generated by the growing complement of electronic devices, including advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Parker is aggressively responding to both challenges with innovative shields and


thermal management technologies that contain the electromagnetic noise and transfer heat away from critical components.

Smiths Interconnect flies high on F-35 aircraft


All military programmes are valuable contracts to secure as they are typically long-term com- mitments that will generate stable future rev- enue for the businesses. The Lockheed MartinF- 35 Lightning II (previously known as Joint Strike Fighter/JSF) programme falls into this category, dating back to the late 1990s when the need for a 5th Generation aircraft began to evolve. The F-35 Lightning II is a family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth


multirole combat aircraft that represent a quantum leap in air dominance capabilities. It is the first 5th generation multi role aircraft to reach service, offering significant updates over previous generation jets. Intended to perform superior air dominance, F-35 are also able to provide electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. Integration and interoperability between allies have also been a key driver in the technology development. Smiths Interconnect has been involved in the programme for more than 20 years,


supplying hundreds of different interconnect devices including high reliability technologies, from RF components and high-speed/power/density/filtered connectors to integrated microwave assemblies.

NXP 80C51-based 8/16-bit MCU Family


The '8051' has been one of the most prolific microcontroller CPUs for over 3 decades. NXP Semiconductors through its her- itage with Philips Semiconductors was a primary source for these products. To provide continued customer support, NXP transferred their 80C51-based 8/16-bit MCU product line to Rochester Electronics. Rochester’s long-term support includes a license to manufacture over 135-part num-


bers and acquisition of all associated product design, manufacturing, and test informa- tion, including the legacy test systems and programs. The products covered by this partnership include ROM-less, OTP-EPROM, and Flash-


based devices which range from the standard 80C51 types to versions with improved performance and added features. The clock frequencies range up to 33Mhz, supply volt- ages cover from 2.7V to 5.5V and temperature range covers commercial, industrial, and a few extended 125°C devices.

Heraeus High Temperature Micro Platinum Heater


Ideal for heating liquids, gases and solids that require quick, highly accurate localised heating. The Heraeus H540S micro platinum heater, available from ATC Semitec, consists of a Pt- thin-film structure on a thin ceramic substrate with platinum lead wires. This miniature heating element can be used over a wide temperature range from -25°C to +800°C and offers excellent long-term stability and precision. Only 5.2 x 3.9 x 1.0mm thick with 6mm long lead-wires, the H540S micro-heater is


suitable for applications in industrial process technology, bio-medical equipment, per- sonal care, white goods and the automotive sector. They can provide precise controlled heating in medical sample heating in analytical


and laboratory equipment or add an extra heat input within the additive manufactur- ing process. Specifically, they are already being used within the e-cigarette market and for


inhalators and evaporators in personal care. The Heraeus H540S forms part of a comprehensive range of Heraeus Platinum sen- sor elements, available from ATC Semitec Ltd.
