As a technologists and embedded product developers we have always wondered about the positive impact that technology has brought into human life and experience. The closest answer got was that technology is a tool to empower humans achieve efficiency like the steam…

Embedded product development is a multivariate function of cost and time with a desired outcome and inter-dependencies based on type of technology, skill, project constraints etc. The job a designer is to find a global optimal solution. Having spent around 15 years in…

The traditional view of health care has been sick care, it is a reactive response rather that a pro-active response. Healthcare presently involves big machines that uses high bio medical engineering. This makes healthcare constricted to hospitals or high end clinics….

Battery life has been one of the main selling point the mobile/infotainment market for some time now. Especially with the advent of Smartphone/tablets & the processing power these devices possess, the time to charge & time to empty parameters of the battery…

With the rapid rise of IOT Technology, the IOT protocols such as MQTT & CoAP are being deployed on various platforms. CoAP protocol works based on the connection-less UDP protocol, thus requiring less resources to implement the same. MQTT works on top of TCP which…

Any electronic device for consumer/industrial application needs to be certified as per standards mandated by the country’s regulatory authorities before going into market. Passing the required certification tests is one of the important steps of product design life…

Immunity tests in FCC/CE certification of a product is conducted mainly to make sure that the product can work under the influence of disturbances present in the use-case environment. General Immunity tests are – RF electromagnetic field (Radiated Immunity) RF Common…

Radiated emission tests are conducted as a part of certification tests to make sure that the device under test doesn’t radiate un-intentional radiations above a specified limit. The levels are specified by the test standard & vary depending on the device…

When an instantaneous large current is drawn from a power supply, the voltage output dips slightly. A significant ripple in the current drawn will induce a voltage ripple on the power line. Conducted Emission (CE) test measures this ripple (in frequency domain)…

Industrial products are required to be immune to multiple disturbances which are generally present in the industrial environment. These disturbances include EFT, Surge, Power Magnetic Field etc. Thus it is mandatory for an industrial product to pass the immunity tests…
