As a 20-year veteran of the technology industry, I’ve seen the emergence of new next-gen technologies come and go – from the client server to the desktop, to PCs and laptops, and finally to the current mobile era. What makes this latest wave of devices, appliances and wearable materials different is their connectivity to each other and exchange of data via the cloud. To take this a step further, the Internet of Things is upon us and is something everyone in the technology world is talking about.
Adesto Technologies is unveiling today its super-low-power memory chips that can be used in a new class of Internet of things sensors, wearable devices, and sterilized medical devices. The company says it will take innovations like this to fill our world with smart devices.
The memory chips are so efficient that they can operate on an extremely low levels of power. They can, for instance, operate on the small amount of energy generated by motion, so they can be used in a sensor chip that has no battery. The chips can consume 100 times less energy than other popular storage solutions without sacrificing speed and performance.
Zurex Pharma, a Middleton, WI-based startup developing antimicrobial products to prevent hospital-acquired infections, has raised $4.1 million from investors in a round that could top out at $5.1 million, according to a new SEC filing.
There are 13 investors in the round, which appears to be the company’s Series B raise. Zurex officials couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
Traity, an alumni of Europe’s Seedcamp and Silicon Valley’s 500 Startups, has big ambitions. It wants to become the standard for online reputation, an opportunity surely missed by eBay’s reluctance to make its reputation scores transportable back in the Dot Com days. Today the Spain, Madrid-based company is announcing a $4.7 million series A round led by Active Venture Partners to help fuel that mission.
The company, which first launched at TechCrunch Disrupt last year, beat their initial $100,000 goal for a first production run on Kickstarter. They’ve got close to $300,000 from backers and have made a few adjustments to the product based on backer feedback with six days left to go in the campaign.
Inside the biomedical electronics lab at GE Global Research in Niskayuna, New York, Jeff Ashe, a principal engineer, holds up a mechanical pencil and points to its thin graphite point. That, he says, is the size of the new wireless brain implants GE is developing. The hope is that smaller, more biocompatible implants will help the paralyzed walk and provide a more effective way to treat diseases that affect the brain.
New software could give people greater control over how their personal health information is shared between doctors and medical institutions—provided that enough health providers decide to use the system.
US chipmaker Intel yesterday (11 June) lost its challenge against a record €1.06 billion fine handed down by European Union antitrust regulators five years ago, for blocking rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).
The European Commission in its 2009 decision (here) said Intel tried to thwart AMD by giving rebates to PC makers Dell, Hewlett-Packard Co, NEC and Lenovo for buying most of their computer chips from Intel. The EU competition authority said Intel also paid German chain Media Saturn Holding to stock only computers with its chips.
Judges at the Luxembourg-based General Court backed the Commission's decision.
