Everyone hears differently – this applies inside a vehicle too. That is why Fraunhofer IDMT in Oldenburg has developed a technological concept for fast and individual sound adaptation, which has been integrated into the multimedia system of vehicles from the Mercedes-Benz Group AG. At the heart of the development is an algorithm that easily adjusts the sound of music according to passengers’ wishes.
Verkor and Startec Energy have signed a partnership agreement to industrialise high-performance batteries for electric mobility. Startec Energy is joining Verkor as its newest industrial partner. Dedicated to industrial excellence, the two companies will combine forces to develop and commercialise high-performance battery packs for a diverse range of markets centred on electrification.
Today, Valeo acquired Siemens’ 50% stake in Valeo Siemens eAutomotive, as provided for in the agreement signed with Siemens on February 9. As a result, Valeo now holds 100% of Valeo Siemens eAutomotive, the leader in high-voltage electrification, which has been integrated into its Powertrain Systems business.
BASELABS, the specialist for sensor fusion, adds dedicated functionality for automated parking to their algorithm for processing high-resolution sensor data. Baselabs Dynamic Grid now detects parking spaces from semantically processed camera data.
IAR Systems is proud to announce its new v3.10 of IAR Embedded Workbench, and IAR Build Tools for Renesas RH850, a world-leading device often used to create groundbreaking solutions in the next generation vehicles by the automotive industry globally.
As well as premium class vehicles and sports cars, many mid-range vehicles and SUVs are also equipped with electronically adjustable dampers, such as the Sachs CDC (Continuous Damping Control). To help automotive workshops remain competitive in this expanding market, ZF Aftermarket has now greatly expanded its spare parts program for electronic dampers.
Innovation, collaboration and inspiration brought together in one car: Webasto has integrated a total of 25 sensors from Bosch, together with multiple additional functions, into the roof of a joint technology demonstrator.
Vitesco Technologies uses state-of-the-art green lasers from TRUMPF for energy-saving welding of copper. Due to electrification in the drive, copper welding is currently a key manufacturing process. Green laser systems are energy-efficient and also reduce manufacturing effort. Copper welding with green lasers is already being used in a current electronics series project for the BMW group.
Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has received EC-79 certification for its Autoclave Engineers SM Series of medium-pressure needle valves, and its medium-pressure cone and thread fittings.
