CES 2024 Lasting Impressions: The Highlights

CES2024 was the best in a long time. I said that in my First Impressions article, and as we distance ourselves from the whirlwind of those hectic six show days, the stronger that feeling grows. And one of the reasons has to do with the fact that important technologies are already making a difference in the audio products that we will soon see in the market - while many others are about to. And there are clearly companies that left us with very positive, lasting impressions that we can and need to share.

In this white paper, Dr. Stephen Hambric uses basic piezoelectric sensor theory to explain what happens to your measurement when you use and exceed the amplitude and frequency limits of an accelerometer with built-in electronics, known as an ICP® or IEPE accelerometer.

PCB Piezotronics introduced new TLD356A01 and TLD356A03 Miniature ICP Triaxial Accelerometers with TEDS. These new models are upgrades to PCB's current 356A01 and 356A03 models with the addition of TEDS functionality. The new triaxial sensors are primarily used to measure vibration inside devices, where space is restricted and are highly valued for automotive systems development, modal and structural analysis, and general purpose vibration testing.

Aspinity launched the first member of its analogML family, the AML100, which is the industry’s first and only tiny machine learning (ML) solution operating completely within the analog domain. As such, the AML100 reduces always-on system power by 95%, allowing manufacturers to dramatically extend the battery life of devices and migrate walled powered always-on devices to battery - opening whole new classes of products for voice-first and smart home systems.

PC-based test and measurement Virtins Technology is recognized for both its Multi-Instrument multi-function virtual instrument software and for its extensive range of compact USB interfaces. Now the company announced a new 24-bit dual-channel USB data acquisition interface with charge input, extending its range of Noise & Vibration Measurement Systems. The new VT CAMP-2G05 was specially designed for use with sensors with electric charge output such as charge-mode piezoelectric sensors.
