Industrial subsystems are distributed so communication between these subsystems needs to preserve this information and deliver it in a timely fashion. This is where time sensitive networking (TSN) comes into play. We talk to Mark Geisler, Marketing Manager at Analog Devices, about the future of TSN in plug-and-play industrial networks as well as the technical and organizational challenges that engineers face when incorporating TSN ...

Nanusens creates nanoscale sensor structures inside the CMOS layers using standard CMOS processes within the same production flow as making the control electronics on the same chip. This approach reduces the size and cost as it benefits from the vast economies of scale of using giant CMOS fabs. The resulting single chip solution has a packaged size of 0.5 mm³. This episode delves into the technology, its future, and some limitation...

RAID, redundant array of independent disks, uses redundancy to provide a more robust disk drive array capable of operation even with the loss of a drive. RAID 1 replicates data with a 50% overhead. RAID 5 and 6 are more common in larger arrays with less overhead as more drives are added to the mix but with a tradeoff in performance.  

Mark Anthony, Product Line Manager at Microchip Technology, talks about the company's SmartRAID 43...

AI workloads and other advanced computing applications continue to expand, pressuring the development community with the dual challenges of performance and manufacturability. Traditional SoCs are approaching their limits in terms of size, yield, and cost, and one solution lies in chiplet-based architectures. In this episode, we talk to Larry Zu, CEO at Sarcina Technology, and how the company is deploying interconnect to minimize si...

The world of test and measurement is getting more complex and challenging in many ways. There are multiple factors impacting the T&M industry, from materials to new topologies to smaller form factors with even higher levels of integration and power density. In this episode, we talk to the CEO of Liquid Instruments, Daniel Shaddock, about the current situation in the test and measurement industry and the company’s software-defin...

Spiking neural networks (SNN), also known as neuromorphic computing, are one way to implement artificial intelligence/machine learning models. It has significant advantages over the more popular digital deep neural networks (DNN) like convolutional neural networks (CNN), including very low power operation.  

Innatera’s CEO, Sumeet Kumar, taks about how the company's new, ultra low power microcontroller can provide always-on (AON) S...

Piezoelectric-based MEMS have been used for sensors, but they can also be used as actuators to do things like move air and fluids. One thing that can be done is to implement a tiny speaker using this technology.  

In this episode, xMEMS Labs’ Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, Mike Housholder, talks about his company's device. You can also watch the demos in our video, Making MEMS Move Air and Fluids for Fun and ...

Supporting artificial intelligence's (AI) insatiable need for compute and storage is why SNIA put together the Storage.AI project. This webinar introduces the project's goals and the standards it will encompass. 

Storage.AI will help deliver efficient data services related to AI workloads. How AI workloads utilize storage impacts cost, power, and performance. This discussion touches on the urgent problems in data services, especial...

The plethora of smart, connected devices has created a variety of new opportunities for how we work, live, and interact, but has also introduced data privacy and security risks. Security has been an issue in society ever since people had things of value to protect, and finally, most people now recognize the critical need for safety in the Internet and cybersecurity. In this episode, we talk to Denis Noël, Director & Head of Pro...

There are many things in our lives that we have created that are important to our very ability to function as a society, and vehicles are among those things. The invention of the car literally changed society almost overnight, and every advance in society since has manifested itself in the automotive world, from the radio to the tape deck to satellite navigation to the Cloud and IoT. In this episode, we talk to Suraj Gajendra, Vice...
