I thought it would make for an interesting subject to look back at the hands free revolution. I also wanted to provide insight as to the current hands free offerings and how they improve life for us all. As with any improvement, ... When off-the-shelf won’t do: the step-by-step birth of a custom digital filter, Part 2 Kendall Castor-Perry, Architect & Member of Technical Staff, Cypress Semiconductor, 8/4/2015 Comment now The story so far... in When off-the-shelf won't do: the step-by-step birth of a custom digital filter, Part 1 I created a continuous-time filter transfer function for my special-purpose 10th order decimation filter. It had a final stopband slope of -18 dB per octave in the far stopband at frequencies much higher than the transmission zeros (something ... Structural Versus Behavioral Device Models Dennis Feucht, Electronics Engineer, 8/4/2015 Comment now Newly-discovered physical principles are often the driving cause for the invention of new kinds of devices such as the transistor. It is one of the highlights in the history of electronics, and illustrates how device models develop in engineering and why they are often a key to technological advancement. Good Day, Sunshine – The Amazing Solar Impulse 2 Paul Pickering, Blogger, 7/30/2015 Comment now 1 Comment Every now and then something new comes along that causes you to want to dig down and find out a little more information. Tearing my attention away from Caitlin Jenner for a moment, I thought I'd take a closer look at the remarkable Solar Impulse 2 - an airplane powered solely by solar energy. Most recent post, eafpres1, 8/2/2015 5:01:03 PM Thanks for the great summary of the SIP2 mission. I read on Fox News about... When off-the-shelf won’t do: the step-by-step birth of a custom digital filter, Part 1 Kendall Castor-Perry, Architect & Member of Technical Staff, Cypress Semiconductor, 7/30/2015 Comment now Some time back, I had to dig out some ancient filter design tools. I needed a special-purpose digital decimation filter for a "quite high quality" audio communication system. Of course, I was trying to cram this onto one of my company's Programmable Systems on Chip (you know the acronym by now...). Planet Analog Spotlight on Steve Sandler, CEO – Picotest Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 7/28/2015 Comment now Mr. Steve Sandler is the CEO of Picotest.com, a company that designs and distributes test equipment including the new Signal Injector product line designed for testing power systems. Slideshow: Analog Aficionados unite at ESC Santa Clara Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 7/28/2015 Comment now 3 comments Even though we had only a last minute e-mail blast (Thanks to Tim McCune for expediting the e-mail to the Analog Aficionados) and an Anablog message sent to the Analog Aficionados members, we received far better response than I had expected with 16 attendees at our Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) Silicon Valley luncheon for Analog Aficionados. We even ... Most recent post, krishnasameerai, 8/4/2015 7:24:10 AM good post To Extend Battery Life, Look at the Big Picture Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 7/28/2015 Comment now For this blog we have guest blogger (I am happy to say he is about to become a regular blogger) Piyush Sevalia, Executive Vice President, Marketing for SiTime. Is Google Eddystone going to replace Apple iBeacon or just invade your privacy? Steve Taranovich, Editor-in-Chief, Planet Analog, 7/27/2015 Comment now 4 comments Google is enhancing the IoT with a technology for companies to communicate with customers. The concept: You are in a shopping mall or on a local street and there are hordes of small Bluetooth radios broadcasting marketing messages to all the Android phones in the area (8 of 10 smartphones are Android). Most recent post, eafpres1, 8/3/2015 8:53:47 AM Thanks, Steve. I'll take a deeper look. Best regards, Blaine Bateman The Toyota Prius: An Electrical Engineering Marvel Scott Deuty, Power Electronics Expert, 7/26/2015 Comment now The success of the Toyota Prius is a tribute to the career of Electrical Engineers. I was recently made aware of the achievements of the Prius through a wiki I wrote as well as from the feedback on my recent Planet Analog blog on regenerative braking. I learned some very interesting details about this car and how it puts a feather in the cap of Planet ... Visualizing the Values of Energy Storage Shaw Lynds, Planet Analog blogger, 7/21/2015 Comment now 1 Comment The world of energy storage is full of non-intuitive metrics that can be hard to compare, visualize or place a value to. Engineers love the precision of metrics like amp hours, farads and megajoules, but do you know many people who can tell you how far they can drive on 20 megajoules of energy? Worse yet, what would you see if I asked you to close your ... Most recent post, DWILSON373, 7/23/2015 3:55:50 PM While you look to make visualizing energy storage mor visible, I doubt may prople...

Try some of the links for more details, like the one for OORT for other product ideas and Google has lots more on their Eddystone technology on their site steve.taranovich on Is Google Eddystone going to replace Apple iBeacon or just invade your privacy? 8/2/2015 5:01:03 PM Proof of concept: Thanks for the great summary of the SIP2 mission. I read on Fox News about the current status, and it seemed the project team were trying to downplay the battery failure. They also quoted Bertrand Piccard, calling him an explorer... eafpres1 on Good Day, Sunshine – The Amazing Solar Impulse 2 8/2/2015 4:37:55 PM Is it new or not?: Hi Steve. I looked at this and watched the video. In some ways it reminds me of a low-level M2M (Machine to Machine) protocal know as MQTT. MQTT allows automatic discovery and other features, and is open source.
