Cover Story:
Extending the battery life
of wearable devices
6
This article gives just a small look
at low power management tech-
nology and how products can
work together to create the ultra-
low power systems to drive the
emerging wearables market and
other applications where conserv-
ing battery life and/or conserving
harvested energy is critical.
Five Senses of Sensors - Part 1:
smell, taste, and hearing
12
This article is the first of a two-
part series on the “Five Senses
of Sensors”. The discussion looks
at advances in sensor technology
that mimic and mirror human
smell, taste, and hearing. The
focus is on changes in the under-
lying sensors and how applications have grown, particularly in the
light of the Internet of Things (IoT). Part 2 will examine touch and
vision sensors.
Designing robust electronics
for the Internet of Things
15
Since the earliest days of the high-
tech revolution, simulation-driven
product development has been
critical for satisfying consumers’
increasing demand for device
functionality, speed, bandwidth,
aesthetics and other characteris-
tics. As before, the winners in the IoT economy are adopting typical
best practices outlined in this article.
Security requirements of
the Internet-of-Things
27
This article explains the security
requirements of the IoT, and intro-
duces a starter kit comprising all
necessary components to rapidly
develop a prototype to test IoT
technology as simply as possible.
Embedded systems best suited
for the Industry 4.0 project
34
This article describes how Kon-
tron, together with technology
partners like Intel, Wind River,
Telekom and Salesforce, is already
working on solutions that are
founded on a standard base of
embedded systems, which can be
connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), and which also offer cloud
solution approaches.
