Researchers seek to use IR light to keep on-duty sleep-deprived warfighters alert

ARLINGTON, Va. – U.S. military researchers will brief industry next month on an upcoming project to develop a combination drug and device to help sleep-deprived warfighters to stay alert without side-effects like anxiety, irritability, or euphoria. Officials of the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in Arlington, Va., will brief industry in-person and by webinar on 12 and 14 June 2024 on the Alert Warfighter Enablement (AWARE) project.

SENIS Current Sensor for High Speed and High Accuracy Apps

The SENIS® SENCS1D02 is a programmable current sensor that uses a combination of linear Hall sensor and Coil to increase the measurement bandwidth and to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, i.e. to increase resolution. This combination allows the highest frequency bandwidth of this kind of sensor on the market. The sensor provides and analog output voltage proportional to the applied magnetic field density. The transfer characteristic of the sensor is factory trimmed over temperature and is programmable (offset, sensitivity, filtering…) during end-of-line customer calibration beyond
the default factory trimming. In a typical current sensing application, the sensor is used in a combination with a ring shaped soft ferromagnetic core. This core is recommended to be ferrite or laminated for high bandwidth applications.

MTG will be stocking both the SENCS1D02 Current Sensor ICs as well as the application’s specific evaluation boards and kits.  We will maintain inventory on the 10mT and 100mT ranges with X and Z sensitivity. Contact us for more details.

The next frontier of electro-optical sensors

Electro-optical sensors — those that sense light at a variety of different spectra — enable warfighters to see at night, detect disturbed soil that might suggest the presence of roadside bombs, detect missile launches, and find tiny boats at sea. While these sensors bolster the U.S. military claims to “own the night,” the battlefield capabilities that modern electro-optical sensors offer are poised for revolutionary improvements that promise to increase sensor ranges; enhance image resolution; reduce sensor size, weight, and power consumption (SWaP); and identify targets automatically through artificial intelligence (AI).

Shrinking the footprint of IR photodetectors

Extreme miniaturization of infrared (IR) detectors is critical for their integration into next-generation consumer electronics, wearables and ultra-small satellites. To date, however, IR detectors have relied on bulky, high-cost materials and technologies. The trend toward ultracompact designs is supported by the development of a cost-effective miniaturization process for IR spectrometers based on a quantum dot photodetector, which can be integrated on a single chip.

Protecting the climate with gas sensors 

EE Times’ inaugural Green Engineering Summit explored how the industry can help achieve net-zero carbon dioxide emissions through the use of new technologies and innovations. One of the hot topics at the virtual conference focused on how to achieve substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. A technical session, presented by Bosch Sensortec, showed how tiny digital gas sensors can help reduce global carbon emissions by detecting wildfires before they get out of control.
