PRODUCT SHOWCASE Achieving water authority compliance with automated wastewater treatment Wastewater usually contains various contaminants (ie, acids, alkalis, copper, lead, arsenic, antimony, ammonium, solvents etc). Fortunately, automated wastewater treatment systems can help semiconductor manufacturers remain in compliance with EPA and local standards, while significantly reducing the cost of treatment, labour and disposal. These automated systems can eliminate the need to monitor equipment in-person. It can separate suspended solids, heavy metals, emulsified oil and encapsulate the contaminants, producing an easily de-waterable sludge in minutes. The water is typically separated using a de-watering table or bag filters before it is discharged into sewer systems or further filtered for re-use as process water. Other options for de-watering include using a filter press or rotary drum vacuum. When dried, the resulting solids will pass the TCLP leaching test and are considered non-hazardous and can be disposed of in a landfill. The treatment systems are available in batch, semi-automatic, or fully automatic form and can be designed to be part of a closed loop system for water reuse or to provide legally dischargeable effluent suitable for disposal in a municipal sewer system. A new, fully customised system is not always required. In many cases, it can be faster and more cost effective to add to, or modify, a facility’s current wastewater treatment when feasible.

That is 100 times less power consumption than conventional software solutions, making it the most efficient IoT person-detection solution available, providing up to 13 million inferences from a single AA/LR6 battery. That means significantly longer operation for battery-powered IoT systems that require human-presence detection, such as building energy Mouser Electronics announced its sponsorship of the 19th Create the Future Design Contest, a global challenge to engineers and innovators around the world to design the next great thing. The contest is open for submissions until July 1, 2021. The grand prize winner receives worldwide recognition and a cash prize of US$25,000 for an innovative product that benefits society and the economy. Previous grand prize-winning entries include a small, self-contained device for organ and limb transport and an economical rapid screening device to prevent food-borne illness. The contest was created in 2002 by the publishers of Tech Briefs magazine. For more information, go to https:// www.mouser.com/createthefuture/ management and smart security cameras. Extreme model compression enables accurate smart vision with a memory-constrained, low-cost AIaccelerated microcontroller and budget-friendly image sensors.
