Embedded Controllers Provide Energy Harvesting Solution
Renesas Electronics has introduced its RE Family, which encompasses the company's current and future lineup of energy harvesting embedded controllers. The RE Family is based on Renesas' proprietary SOTB (Silicon on Thin Buried Oxide) process technology, which dramatically reduces power consumption in both the active and standby states, eliminating the need for battery replacement or recharging.

Building a Smart Frying Pan - Using a Microchip PIC32 MCU
There's almost no limit to what an MCU can be used for-including objects that previously had no electronics at all. In this article, learn how this Cornell University student built a Microchip PIC32 MCU-based system that wirelessly measures and controls the temperature of a pan on a stove. The system improves both the safety and reliability of cooking on the stove-and has potentially interesting commercial applications.
