A UMass-led system processes touch events using memristive hardware locally. Demonstrated in Nature Sensors, the architecture combines a flexible haptic sensor array with event-triggered circuitry and a memristive system-on-chip to cut energy and latency versus conventional digital sensing pipelines.
-
MEAN WELL’s SPWM drivers add tunable lighting control options now. The 75W to 240W constant-voltage range supports DALI-2 dimming and colour control, push-button input, and multi-channel PWM outputs, with minimum dimming down to 0.1% for smart building lighting deployments.
