Iridium antenna is small enough for headsets and trackers
Claimed to be the world’s smallest antenna tuned for Iridium satellite services, the HXDC1600 has been released by Helix Geospace. The antenna tuned for Iridium satellite services can operate safely near the human head with minimal performance degradation, said the company. It is designed for use in mobile handsets, wearable trackers and personal safety devices.
Partnership delivers sports data to smartglasses
Two European technology companies, Suunto and Activelook announced their partnership at MWC this week. Finnish sports watch manufacturer, Suunto has opened its API (application programming interface) to connect to the Activelook technology, developed by Activelook, the augmented reality (AR) division of French company MicroOLED. The partnership connects the watches to what is claimed to be the world’s lightest AR eyewear.
SoC uses computing-in-memory for speech processing at the edge
Computing-in-memory technology is poised to eliminate the massive data communications bottlenecks associated with AI speech processing at the network’s edge, said Witinmen. The company has worked with Microchip Technology’s subsidiary Silicon Storage Technology (SST) to develop an embedded memory that simultaneously performs neural network computation and stores weights. Microchip Technology announced that its SuperFlash memBrain neuromorphic memory has been combined with the Witinmem neural processing SoC. The SoC is claimed to be the first in volume production that enables sub-mA systems to reduce speech noise and recognise hundreds of command words, in real time and immediately after power-up.
