Omron speeds up face recognition module Omron Electronic Components Europe today


announced a faster version of its face recognition module, boasting a maximum recognition speed of up to ten times that of the existing unit. Using Omron’s HVC module, any embedded developer can add face recognition functionality to a system without the need to understand the algorithms or the optical design.


As before, the Omron HVC-P2 B5T offers ten key image sensing functions: detection of a human face, hand or body, face recognition, gender detection, age estimation, mood estimation, facial pose estimation, gaze estimation and blink estimation. In each case the module returns a value together with a degree of certainty, allowing the programmer to configure the


congatec presents new Qseven and COM Express Compact modules based on Intel’s new low-power


processors (Codename Apollo Lake) One a great fit for the entry level, the other a perfect choice for the high end


congatec – a leading technology company for embedded computer modules, single board computers and embedded design and manufacturing services – has released new COM Express Compact and Qseven Computer-on-Modules in time with the launch of Intel’s new low-power processors (code name Apollo Lake). The modules with Intel® Atom™, Celeron® and Pentium® processors feature the powerful Intel Gen 9 graphics and deliver an impressive performance per watt improvement, enabling the implementation of even more powerful


designs with even lower energy consumption. This, combined with long-term availability of 10 years, makes the new high-end low-power modules a perfect fit for both entry level COM Express Compact designs and high-end Qseven platforms.


Application areas for the new congatec Computer-on-Modules can be found in many highly specific embedded and IoT systems that require a customized high-performance design and a fanless low-power envelope of 5W to 12W. These include IoT gateways and industrial control systems, machine and device GUIs, medical devices, digital signage systems, vending machines and eMobility stations as well as the entire range of rugged mobile devices, handhelds and in-vehicle systems. Even some standard embedded motherboards use modules to speed up Time-to-Market with system upgrades where only the modules need to be changed.

New matt chrome covers for OKW’s designer


COM-KNOBS OKW’s smart modern COM-KNOBS range now includes new matt chrome covers


OKW has added striking new matt chrome covers to its COM- KNOBS range of collet knobs for rotary potentiometers – perfect for metal or metallic-look front panels.


High quality COM-KNOBS suit a huge range of applications including measuring and control, medical and wellness devices, laboratory equipment, heating and air conditioning, communications equipment and building management systems.


response appropriately for each individual application. HVC is designed in a very compact configuration and can be easily integrated into an established system or implemented as part of a new design.


New features of the HVC-P2 module include greater speed and consistency of response, and an increased distance over which readings can be taken. To make the module easier to integrate, it is now supplied in two parts: a 25x25mm camera board and a main 45x45mm board. There are two types available. A long range type has an angle of view of 40° x 50° and a wide angle type with 70° x 90°. The module is now also available with a choice of a UART or USB interface.


The module is based on the Omron OKAO Vision software, a proven set of image recognition algorithms used in over 500 million digital cameras, mobile phones and surveillance robots around the world. HVC embeds OKAO on a hardware platform optimised specifically in terms of its digital and optical design for this application. HVC includes a camera and a processor, and a USB or UART interface to control the module and read data.

M12 circular connector with a modular


design principle The M12 circular connector series Y-Circ®M from Yamaichi Electronics contains A-, B- and D-coded connectors in straight and angled versions, according to the standard IEC 61076-2-101.


A special feature is the modularity. This means 360° shielding and vibration protection can be added in a modular configuration. This guarantees an excellent price-performance ratio.


An X-coded connector according to the IEC standard 61076-2-109 for CAT6A data transmission is also available.


Any Y-Circ®M connector can be combined as a cable assembly with the Yamaichi connectors in the Y-Con® (RJ45 and USB) or Y-Circ®P (circular push-pull connector) series. All the products are manufactured at the Yamaichi production site in Germany, so the cable assemblies can be delivered very quickly and flexibly.


All our M12 connectors are IP68 protected and meet the highest quality standards for reliable contacting and EMI shielding.

New matt chrome covers are available for three of the six sizes in the COM-KNOBS range: ø 23 mm, ø 31 mm and ø 40 mm.


COM-KNOBS offer a wealth of choice because of their smart design. Covers and marking elements simply clip into place.


Covers come in a range of attractive pastel colours: red, yellow, green, blue, grey, black – and now matt chrome.


A finger recess option for fine tuning and adjustment is available for the ø 40 mm and ø 50 mm pastel covers and the new ø 40 mm matt chrome cover.


Marking elements are moulded in the same pastel colours. Or the knobs can be specified without markers. Nut covers, disks, dials and stators can also be fitted.


The six sizes of COM-KNOBS are: ø 16 mm, ø 20 mm, ø 23 mm (boreholes 4 mm, 6 mm, 1/4”); ø 31 mm (boreholes 6 mm, 1/4”); ø 40 mm and ø 50 mm (boreholes 6 mm, 8mm).
