Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Connected Vehicle Technologies 28.05.2015

Qualcomm Technologies and Daimler AG have announced a strategic partnership to develop "connected car" technologies.

In the first phase, the partners plan to focus on transforming vehicles with mobile technologies such as 3G/4G connectivity, in-vehicle wireless charging, and Qualcomm Halo Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging (WEVC). In addition, the companies will jointly explore possible applications of Qualcomm Technology developments under the general name Automotive Solutions.

Qualcomm Technologies is participating in Daimler's Wireless Power Transfer 2.0 program for electric vehicles. Qualcomm's Halo WEVC technology is said to enable fast charging of electric and hybrid vehicles using a compact module that eliminates the need for a wired connection. Qualcomm WiPower technology, in turn, will allow you to charge consumer electronic devices inside the car without resorting to a wired connection.
