“Capabilities like real-time driver monitoring, predictive maintenance and adaptive in-vehicle infotainment, that were once limited to premium models, are becoming the standard across all tiers of new vehicles,” according to the company.
Tribulations of using 1/duration to measure frequency

For readability, the display needs to update three to four times a second. If it could update every 1.25s, the answer would be easy: simply count input pulses for that time to get an rpm number as the 1.25s takes care of 48 slots and the x60 for Hz to rpm conversion. However, this is longer than a third of a second.
200,000 electrode nerve cell sensing array

Aimed at drug research, it allows experiments on nerve cells outside of a human or animal. Made in CMOS, it has 236 880 electrodes in a ~480 x 500 array across 5.5 x 5.9mm. The pixel spacing – 11.22μm square pixels on a 11.47μm pitch – allows more than one electrode to contact each nerve cell. The electrodes are platinum, and all of them can be read at once through 33,840 70kHz channels, with ~9µV rms noise. Digitised by single-slope ADCs, data is exported over a number of 4.752Gbit/s channels.
