Looking electronic part as 41084-bwb smbd-101, http://www.oemsemi.com is a independent distributor for hard to find electronic parts and obsolete components, get quote for more than 500 thousands par from our web will be responsed in 24 work hours, also the electronic components cann’t find at our web, our saleman will find it and send the price for the parts which you want buy to you.

Based STM32 family of microcontrollers energy efficiency, performance, large developer ecosystem and products worth about 100 contestants submitted things related applications. The design competition contestants inspired creativity, design and STMicroelectronics STM32 contain other components of Things products. STMicroelectronics products include: MEMS motion sensor, acoustic (acoustic) and environmental sensors; NFC Dynamic label (NFC dynamic tags); image processors and sensors; low power Bluetooth; low power RF transceiver (RF transceivers); broadband PLC chip (broadband power-line communication). Award-winning products to design innovative semiconductor products and the number of law intended for the score.

Two winning projects:

“Maja” Poland Krakow KNE AGH University of Science (KNE AGH University of Science and Technology) developed a wireless monitoring system hive (wireless hive-monitoring system). Automatic monitoring system based STM32 Nucleo development board, with motion sensors, acoustic sensors, temperature / humidity sensor and a weight sensor (weight sensor), through the GSM / GPRS modem to connect online database, you can create a local sensor networks.

“Blinker 2.0″ is the Creative Kids & Mentors teams from Kiev, Ukraine (Kiev) developed by the refrigerator food cold time monitoring system. The design is a subject called cold indicator (Cooler Blinker) small circuit board, the circuit board equipment STM32 microcontrollers, Bluetooth low energy (BLE, low-energy Bluetooth) module, a buzzer (buzzer), battery and green, yellow and red LED lights. Cooler Blinker is posted on the food’s smart tag, once activated, the shelf life of foods can be measured by different colors of light flashing prompt product safety. Blinker 2.0 is a complete ecosystem with a Cooler Blinkers, cloud database and remote monitoring of the state of mobile applications in food Cooler 1 2 3.

STMicroelectronics, Europe, Jacky Perdrigeat vice president of the Middle East and Africa, said: “Promoting the use of the entire region STMicroelectronics components to stimulate creativity, to meet the challenges brought about by the Internet of Things, is bound to achieve extraordinary STMicroelectronics R & D results. extensive product portfolio includes industry-leading semiconductor STM32 microcontrollers, sensors and communication technologies, as well as a rich ecosystem of partners, and development tools, and is ideal for networking applications. Competition appraisal results show that the import of other products STMicroelectronics STM32 ecosystem is important to include a new generation of creators that participate in the new industrial revolution, the youngest of developers, including technical communities provide a flexible, simple design development solutions. However, this is only just beginning, the recently released the world’s first ARM Cortex-M7 microcontroller STM32 F7 series further strengthens our leadership position, STMicroelectronics will continue to play a creative, continuous innovation enables developers to obtain better results. “

Apple next year led watches wearable welcome breakthrough product

According to the latest market research firm Forrester Research report released by the wearable device market will usher in a breakthrough in 2015, users will achieve double the growth, while Apple Apple Watch will be leading this trend, the market for wearable brought new opportunities new challenges.

Looking 2SC1946A SPM5001 , http://www.lincomponents.com is a independent distributor for thousands of electronic parts, get quote from our web will be responsed in 24 hours, trading electronic parts from our web now.

Reports, Apple Watch next year will attract 10 million users. And compared to European consumers, the US consumers are more willing to use the wearable device, the ratio between the two was 32% and 45%.

For ordinary consumers, wearable device that is worn on the wrist watches and intelligent tracking health products, then clip on clothing accessories, wearing the device next to the ear, as well as so-called smart glasses. However, consumers are also different in different regions, in different parts of the US respondents talked about a variety of wearable computing devices, including smart jewelry, smart contact lenses, as well as intelligent tattoos.

While consumers are very interested in wearable devices, but its greater demand still comes from businesses. Analysts pointed out that with brands, retailers, sports stadiums, medical device companies, and other companies to develop new business models, and the use of related functions, wearable device market will usher in a new opportunity.

Survey shows that 68% of business decision-makers plan to give priority to develop a wearable device deployment strategy. For example, companies can use the secure site wearable device monitoring workers through smart watches with positioning capabilities to help managers real-time command out of employees, as well as through devices with video and camera technology to help inspectors work more easily.

Morgan Stanley is expected, in the most optimistic scenario, wearable device sales in 2020 will reach 1 billion, while the growth rate faster than the smartphone and tablet market broke out.
