ORNL-led team developing breakthrough high-temperature, high-strength Al alloy for advanced light-duty engines

Green Car Congress

A team led by researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is developing a lower-cost cast aluminum (Al) alloy capable of at least a 50 ˚C temperature increase over the current cylinder head alloys 319 and 356 for use in light duty engines. Earlier post.). Improved powertrain materials are a necessity for next generation ICEs.

Sony introduces 360? “Safety Cocoon” concept for automotive image sensors at CES

Green Car Congress

That sensor is capable of capturing high-resolution color images even in light conditions as low as 0.005 lux—darker than a star-filled night sky. With ToF technology, the distance to an object is measured by the time it takes for light from a light source to reach the object and reflect back to the sensor.

Why IoT Sensors Need Standards

Cars That Think

The devices have become key enablers for a host of new technologies essential to business and to everyday life, from turning on a light switch to managing one’s health. If the light detection and ranging remote-sensing system lidar fails in semiautonomous vehicles, they will be unable to function properly.
