12 Israeli sensor technologies that will rock your world No more canaries in mines: Today’s sensors provide key information on everything from digital health to airport safety. By Brian Blum Sensors translate physical phenomena to a measurable signal. Photo courtesy of Consumer Physics/SCiO Sensors are the hidden brain in everything from precision agriculture to connected cars, home appliances to security systems, smart cities to digital health. “A sensor is anything that translates a physical phenomenon to a measurable signal or other information. For example, in the past they used canaries as sensors for poisonous gas in mines,” explains Amichai Yifrach, an Israeli expert in military and civilian sensor development and currently the CTO of ag-tech startup Flux. “Using that definition, Israel is on the cutting edge of technology in all aspects of sensors,” he tells ISRAEL21c. “A lot of it is related to our capabilities in sensing things that others cannot, especially in relation to border security and airport control.” Historically, Israel’s edge in sensor technology comes from defense needs and much of the sector is still focused on military applications, with companies such as Elbit Systems, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Seraphim Optronics in the lead. YOU CAN GET ISRAEL21c NEWS DELIVERED STRAIGHT TO YOUR INBOX. But as in many other fields, knowhow from the military gave a huge boost to Israel’s civilian sensor industry. “On the consumer side, we’re strong in image processing and algorithms. We have very good chemists, too,” says Yifrach. “Sensors will be more and more important in water quality, air quality and even food quality, like for makers of wine, beer or balsamic vinegar,” Yifrach predicts. “Processes that follow chemical or physical properties need sensing to deduct valuable information for future quality or efficiency of the process. It all comes down to monitoring and controlling processes for quality.” ISRAEL21c chose a dozen Israeli sensor pioneers to illustrate the country’s strength in this powerful sector. Sensifree Sensifree specializes in low-power, contact-free, electromagnetic sensors that accurately collect a range of continuous biometric data without the need to touch the human body. Its first product, a contactless heartrate sensor for wearable devices such as watches, fitness trackers and smart clothing, will be followed by a cuff-free blood-pressure sensor. Based in California with R&D in Petah Tikva, Sensifree recently won $5 million in Series A financing, bringing its total funding since launching its revolutionary RF-based biometric sensor technology to $7 million. MS Technologies Based in Herzliya Pituah, MS Tech designs and manufactures nanotechnology detection and diagnostic sensors. Major airlines use its hand-held, non-radioactive explosives and narcotics detectors for carry-on baggage inspection, air-cargo screening and passenger security checks in several airports. Other industries that use MS Tech sensor technologies include food safety and product inspection, biomedical diagnostics, fire and smoke detection, water and air monitoring and aerospace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id4Q4SIYmRs ContinUse Biometrics ContinUse of Tel Aviv received a strategic investment from the multinational corporation Tyco to develop nanotechnology sensors that will be embedded into a range of construction and smart-home solutions. ContinUse Biometrics’ biometric no-contact sensor — based on technology developed over a decade by Bar-Ilan and Valencia universities — can detect heartbeat, blood pressure, breathing pace, glucose level, oxygen saturation and alcohol levels in the blood of a fully dressed person without touching the person. This data can be used to authenticate identity and manage access for security and smart-home applications, workplaces and sensitive facilities. Vayyar Vayyar sensors could make every cellphone or tablet a full 3D imaging system. Based in Yehud, Vayyar uses low-power radio transmissions to scan objects in a fraction of a second and create an enhanced imaging experience. One of the applications is better detection of irregularities in an object being examined, for example to detect tumors on mammograms or bacteria in milk bottling. The company recently won the Fast Pitch Contest sponsored by the Global Electronics Industry Association in Tel Aviv. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLjUK-teB8o Elfi-Tech Elfi-Tech of Rehovot has introduced several sensor products for noninvasive measurements of physiological and blood parameters for use in fitness, wellness and first-line diagnostics apps.

Most New Cars Sold In UK Will Have To Be Fully Electric By 2030, Government Confirms Green campaigners relieved after last week’s decision to delay ban on petrol and diesel cars The government has confirmed the majority of new cars sold in Britain will have to be electric by 2030 despite Rishi Sunak’s decision last week to delay a ban on petrol and diesel cars by five years. Under the long-awaited zero emissions vehicle (ZEV) mandate, 80% of sales must be fully electric, or another alternative, within seven years. Carmakers would have to pay £15,000 for each petrol or diesel engine above that threshold, the Department for Transport said on Thursday. The announcement broadly confirms proposals in March, modelled on moves in California, which will force manufacturers to rapidly increase the proportion of battery electric cars produced. ...Richard Hebditch, the UK director of the thinktank Transport & Environment, said for all the fanfare of the U-turn on the government’s 2030 ban on internal combustion engines, “the zero emissions vehicle mandate will pretty much end sales of new petrol and diesel cars by the early 2030s. 🔗Source: The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/28/majority-of-newscars-sold-in-uk-will-have-to-be-fully-electric-by-2030-government-confirms) #greenenergy #news #Economy #electricvehicles #automotive

an article on how 3D printing will revolutionize construction. ************************************************************** 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has been transforming industries for the past few decades. While it is still a relatively new technology, 3D printing has already been used to create everything from medical implants to automotive parts. Now, 3D printing is poised to revolutionize the construction industry, offering new opportunities for more efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective building practices. One of the key advantages of 3D printing in construction is the ability to create complex and customized designs quickly and at a lower cost than traditional construction methods. With 3D printing, entire structures can be built in a fraction of the time required for traditional construction, and with fewer materials and labor costs. This is especially valuable in disaster relief and low-income housing projects, where fast and affordable construction is critical. Another advantage of 3D printing is the ability to use a wide range of materials, including concrete, plastics, and metals. In construction, 3D printing technology can be used to create structures with intricate designs and complex geometries, which would be difficult or impossible to achieve using traditional construction methods. This opens up new possibilities for creating unique and innovative buildings, such as curved walls, complex facades, and intricate internal structures. Additionally, 3D printing technology can be used to create environmentally sustainable buildings that consume fewer resources and generate less waste. This is possible due to the precision and accuracy of 3D printing technology, which allows for the precise use of materials and the creation of more efficient and lightweight structures. By reducing material waste and energy consumption, 3D printing technology can help to create buildings that are more environmentally friendly. There are already many examples of 3D printing being used in construction. For example, in 2018, the world's first 3D-printed bridge was built in Spain using a giant 3D printer. In Dubai, a 3D-printed office building was created in just 17 days using a 3D printer that was 20 feet tall and 120 feet long. And in the Netherlands, a project called "Printed House" is using 3D printing technology to build low-cost, sustainable housing. Despite the many advantages of 3D printing in construction, there are also some challenges that need to be addressed. For example, the cost of 3D printers can be high, and the technology requires skilled operators who are trained in using the software and hardware. Additionally, 3D printing technology is still relatively new, and there are still many questions about its long-term durability and safety. In conclusion, 3D printing is poised to revolutionize the construction industry, offering new opportunities for more efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective building practices. As the technology continues to improve and become more widely adopted, we can expect to see more and more buildings created using 3D printing technology, bringing us one step closer to a more sustainable and innovative future in construction.
