Miniature Bluetooth acceleration and temperature sensor based on CC2650

29.01.2016

The new support design from Texas Instruments demonstrates how tiny wireless sensors can be when built on the CC2650 system-on-a-chip.

The smallest CC13xx/CC26xx package is only 4x4 mm, while the chip contains a Cortex-M3 processor, radio, built-in DC/DC converter and a separate sensor controller. The finished uTag wireless battery accelerometer and temperature sensor fits on a 16x9 mm board and can work up to 3 months from a miniature CR1612 cell. Data is transmitted to any gadget that supports Bluetooh Low Energy technology.

To reduce size, the CC2650 operates without a 32kHz clock crystal. Instead, a built-in RC oscillator (RCOSCLF) is used. In order to meet the requirements of the Bluetooth specification (+-500 ppm), it is necessary to perform software calibration of RCOSCLF at least once per second.

The device measures acceleration using a MEMS accelerometer and ambient temperature. To measure the temperature, I2C sensor TMP102 is used, which is highly linear and has an accuracy of + - 0.5 ° С. The TMP102 requires no calibration, complex calculations or lookup tables to get an accurate temperature reading. The built-in 12-bit ADC allows measurements with a resolution of up to 0,0625 °C.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

If you want twins, drink milk 18.11.2006

American doctors have collected statistics on the frequency of twin births in women with different eating styles.

Strict vegetarians do not consume any animal products, moderate ones still drink milk. For comparison, we took a group with a normal diet. It turned out that women who consume milk are five times more likely to give birth to twins than women who do not drink milk.

Researchers believe that the problem is in one of the milk proteins, the so-called insulin-like growth factor. It stimulates the release of not one, but several eggs from the ovaries at once. Women who do not drink milk have 13% less of this compound in their blood than those who consume dairy products.
