We can't keep relying on batteries, or rely on regularly changing batteries, for electronic products. So engineers are always looking out for low-power displays and alternative energy sources. In this show, Stuart Cording, the #electronicsreporter, explores printed, low-power e-paper with Philip Holgersson from Ynvisible for displaying information. He also looks at a printed organic solar cell with Jonas Bergqvist from Epishine that is an excellent fit for energy harvesting. And, as always, my experts take time to answer your questions!
This episode is sponsored by DownStream Technologies, whose software helps engineering organizations optimize and automate the PCB Release Process. DownStream’s tools redefine how engineers and PCB designers post-process their designs to create and distribute all the deliverables required for a complete PCB assembly release package.
Their flagship product is CAM 350, which provides verification and optimization before PCB designs are transferred to the fabricator, helping ensure the successful manufacture of bare PCB boards. Another highlight is BluePrint-PCB, which uses its CAD database to quickly produce comprehensive documentation that drives PCB fabrication, assembly, and inspection processes.
