Phone-sized quantum magnetometer revealed
Bosch Quantum Sensing has revealed a photo of its quantum magnetometer prototype (right). “In terms of its measurement accuracy, the Bosch sensor prototype is the smallest currently available – about the size of a cell phone”, according to the company, which was started by Bosch in 2022. “Our goal is to miniaturise quantum sensors to the point where they can ...
When to open the workshop windows to dry it out
Many of you must already know this, but I just found out. To dry out a workshop (or, at least, to reduce the amount of moisture within), open the windows when the ‘dew point’ outside is lower than the dew point inside, and close them when it is the other way around. Dew point is expressed as a temperature Given ...
General purpose 6axis inertial unit aimed at lower cost applications
Bosch is trying to push accelerometers and gyroscopes into lower-cost applications with an IMU (inertial measurement unit) called BMI323, which includes pre-developed function algorithms. “For example, BMI323 already includes Bosch Sensortec’s plug-and-play step counter software, so customers don’t need to spend time developing their own algorithms”, according to the company. “Other features include motion detection that can turn sub-systems on ...
Bosch to offer IoT security product procurement service in the UK
Already running for 18 months in Germany, Bosch is expanding its cyber security procurement platform to the UK. The vast amount of cybersecurity tools, software, and vendors available means it is increasingly difficult for IT leaders to choose a solution that is most affordable and effective to suit their business needs, argued the company, explaining: “the platform offers advisory services ...
Arduino shield combines many sensors for data fusion development
Aiming at sensor fusion application development, Rutronik has created a single Arduino-compatible board with a plethora of sensors from Infineon, Bosch SE and Sensirion. Called ‘RAB1 – Sensorfusion’, “the board offers its own platform that allows machine learning based sensor fusion,” according to the company. “Thanks to the components and the possible intelligent combination of sensor values, the board is ...
3d printing to the rescue for advanced mini chemical reactor
In need of a small high-temperature chemical reaction vessel with a lot of detailed features, BASF turned to Bosch Advanced Ceramics and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Between the three organisations, they developed a way to 3d print what was needed. The result is 107mm long and 16mm in diameter, with 500μm channels in which the chemical reactions occur, ...
Bosch to invest €3bn in semiconductor expansion
Bosch is to boost its semiconductor capabilities with an investment of €3 billion by 2026. The company has applied for EU state aid for the funding under the EU’s Important Projects of Common European Interests (IPCEI) programme. “Microelectronics is the future and is vital to the success of all areas of Bosch business,” says chairman Stefan Hartung, “with it, we ...
Devboard watch: Nicla Sense ME aims for sensing and AI at the edge
When it comes to the Arduino, it's a large family, but there's always room for more: welcome, the Nicla Sense ME, the smallest Arduino board to date.
Multiple sensor dev board links to hosts through Bluetooth
Bosch has created an evaluation board that links sensors to hosts using Bluetooth. Called ‘Application Board 3.0’, is can be powered though a lithium-ion battery, and so can stand in for a wireless sensor node. The board, which is 47 x 37 x 7mm, does not have its own sensors (except for temperature), and instead carries a socket for standard format ...
