With the existing fluke wireless tools and technology they should design a project which meets the specified requirements of the company. Five finalist teams will be chosen by the judge panel which will be provided with up to 10 fluke tools to implement their project.

A time frame of 4 weeks would be allotted for each team to complete their project and present a final report including a demonstration video before the deadline. The teams will be judged on the following criteria :Technical skills demonstrated, Innovation and creativity, Business value, Presentation skills .

Impressing judges is not only important but impressing public is also crucial as the winner will be decided on 75% evaluation by judge panel and 25% by the public votes. The applications for the contest are now open and closes by 10^th October (11; 59 Pacific Time).The winner will be announced on December 8^th.

element14 Nanopower Sensor IC from Honeywell in Asia-PacifIC announced

The addition of Honeywell Nanopower Anisotropic Magneto resistive Sensor IC Sensor has been announced by element14 to its already existing product line. It’s a first of its own kind. The new Nanopower ICs are smaller in size with a high range of magnetic sensitivity, as low as 7 Gauss typical while requiring nanopower upto 360 nA value. They are smaller and much more durable and reliable than the reed switches which operate at almost same cost and sensitivity.

element14 Nanopower Sensor IC features

The new Nanopower ICs could be used in the place of reed batteries. The new Nanopower ICs are far more suitable for battery powered applications that generally with larger air gap needs and low power requirements. The new Nanopwer IC’s are designed keeping in mind the wide range of usage for battery operated applications such as electricity, gas and water meters.

The applications also include exercise equipment, industrial smoke detectors, scanners and security systems. The new ICs are also highly ideal for white goods. These include the refrigerators, dishwashers, medical equipment, infusion pumps, hospital beds and also consumer electronic such as computers and tablets.

Simplification of the process by using the theory of Omnipolarity which allows the IC to be activated either by North Pole or South Pole, thereby eliminating the need to ignore the magnetic polarity reduces the system cost. It’s easier and cost effective for the engineers to operate, as the push-pull output (CMOS) does not require exterior resistors.

Thanks to a non-chopper stabilized design, the electronic sound generated by the sensor is eliminated. Production cost is further reduced as the sub miniature SOT-23 surface mount package-supplied on both tape and reel- is smaller than most reed switches which allows automated pick and place component installation.

Costumers are given an option to choose from two magnetic sensitivities: Ultra-high sensitive SM351LT( 7 Gauss typical operate, 11 Gauss maximum operate, 360 nA current draw) and very high sensitivity SM353LT ( 14 Gauss typical operate,20 Gauss maximum operate, 360nA current draw).

The trusted expertise of element14 Community has always provided it’s unmatched value added services by the both latest addition to a remarkable line of durable, reliable switch and sensor solutions.

Such sensors, switches and other modules of technologies which are highly cost, power and space conservable must always be welcomed. So, what are your comments on this new Nanopower Sensor IC from Honeywell? Please share with us, below in the comment box.

Zen180 App launched – Meditation & Brain Enhancement App

Zen180 has recently launched its brain enhancement audio fitness app Zen180 which helps the user to meditate and get focused on daily life activities and be stress free. The app is currently available in iTunes store and can be downloaded from iTunes with its android version coming soon.

Zen180 App features

The app features 5 inbuilt brain wave inducing audio programs FOCUSED,AWAKENED, RELAXED,CREATIVE and ROMANTIC Mind which gradually deepens the concentration thereby increasing learning and reading capabilities, creativity to extract maximum output .While the FOCUSSED version is free ,the other tracks can be purchased for $ .99 each or $ 1.99 for four from the iTunes store.

The Zen180 app achieves its task through scientifically engineered 3d binaural beats inside it which adjusts itself to the desired state of mind and the brain enhancement audio tracks which eases out the stress and concretes the focus and concentration by enhancing 5 brain wave patterns: Alpha, Beta, Delta, Theta and Gamma.

The Focused mind track triggers the alpha waves which dramatically increases the learning capacity. The awakened mind track sets off beta waves which energizes and boosts the mind. The relaxed track helps to achieve stable and peaceful state of mind by activating delta brain waves. Last but not the least the Romantic track acts as a love spell to the mind. It generates sense of love and affection via gamma waves.

Though the working of app is highly complex, using the app is as easy as it can get. Just select any one track which best suits the state of mind and set the time period of the track (5 to 30 mins), put on your headphones and tap “Start session”. There are 3 choices for track time: 5, 15 and 30 ins.

Once started, one can feel the accelerated change in concentration level within a matter of minutes. The pivotal requirement is to use plug in ear headphones for maximum result. I feel this app is best suited for all those creative people who face difficulty to concentrate and can overcome their anxiety allowing them to unlock new ideas. For the students it can be of great help as it can help them to be alive next morning after late night tiring study.
