Navigation without GPS? Sensors with Greenfield app in cellphones could replace the need of GPS

Team of researchers at Microsoft has taken up the task of giving you a perfect solution in the situations where GPS refuses to work. A prototype device called Menlo phone will collect the data with the help of the sensors, as the user walks indoors or in the places where GPS’s signals are weak.

Webinar: uBlue, Bluetooth Low Energy Products from Nordic Semiconductor – Regular price: free

Bluetooth Low-Energy is the new global standard for short-range wireless interconnectivity. Ultimately this standard will allow for short-range applications and Personal Area Networks(PANs) to be interoperable with mobile phones and portable data devices such as laptops etc.

RF as Alternative for Remote Control Applications

Reference Design for RF Remote
To ease the process, an RF remote control reference design such as the nRD24H1 is available. The device (transmitter) side of the nRD24H1 is implemented as a hardware module fitted on a six-button remote control application board. The module includes a PCB antenna, a 2.4GHz transceiver (the [...]

Reference design for RFID temperature data logger

With  a data logger reference design based on the 64-Kbit Dual Interface EEPROM (M24LR64), a low power Microcontroller (STM8L101) and a digital temperature sensor (STTS75) you can develop your data logger quick and easy. It measures temperature, and offers an RF access to the data of the application thanks to the ISO15693 interface of the [...]

Can you believe? RFID tranponder, EEPROM, temperature sensor, RTC, digital logic- all in one chip

This chip is real amazing, because it is all in one.  You just need an RFID antenna, what could be a PCB track and a battery. The rest will be done by the logic inside. If temperature logging is not enough, then you can add external sensors  interface. Right now there is a humunity sensor [...]

Is this an EEPROM with RFID transponder or a RFID transponder with EEPROM?

The M24LR64 is an electrically-erasable memory (EEPROM) that can also be programmed wirelessly by industry standard RFID (radio-frequency ID) equipment. Using the M24LR64 for program or data storage provides extra flexibility for customers, allowing software updates or specific parameters to be applied in the supply chain.
With an easy implementation based on two industry standard protocols, [...]

Android, Linux, QNX, Symbian and Windows in M2M applications

I already started several projects on embedded Linux (GE863-Pro3 or UC864-G + BeagleBoard). One is for example a metering project for a customer in India. Development and manufacturing  is provided by a business partner of mine in Germany.
The next higher level is based on BeagleBoard http://www.beagleboard.org. The BeagleBoard is an open source single board PC. [...]
