Boreas Technologies targets disruption of haptics sector
Bromont Quebec-based firm set to strike in the haptics space, particularly after discovering there are limited manufacturers of drivers suitable for piezoelectric actuators in the global market
In search of the (much smaller) RJ45 successor
While the standard eight-contact RJ45 has plenty of run left – it’s a proven, cost-effective choice for many applications – it’s also butting up against practical limitations in plant and product design.
Genesis Robotic’s builds teamwork between man & machine
What began as a research and design company about four years ago, Genesis Robotics of Langley BC has its sites firmly focused on creating parts that will change how machines are built and how they move. Founded in 2015 by…
Five questions to consider when scaling from prototype to product launch
Addressing the challenge for designers and manufacturers to find the best manufacturing process for high-volume production
Filtering out common mode noise in congested environments with monolithic EMI filters
A multitude of factors are conspiring to increase the amount of “noise” interference that can disturb the functionality and even damage electronic devices, starting with the sheer number used in our vicinity at any given time. Today’s automobiles provide a…
The future of display technology lies with MicroLEDs
In creating MicroLED technology, engineers have crammed dramatically smaller Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) onto the same surface area than previous generations of LED screens – millions more
