1- About power consumption
When thinking about TWS audio systems in daily use, there are several ways to enhance the customer experience and provide a hassle-free user interface integration. One of the critical issues TWS system designers are facing is playtime, because battery space is usually very limited in TWS earbuds. In a TWS system, the tiny battery constrains the power and energy available for t
New way to measure Antarctic snowfall helps predict the ice sheet’s survival
A new satellite finds a surprise: Atmospheric rivers of moisture can dump huge amounts of snow over Antarctica, and now we can track it incredibly closely.

A new way of studying Antarctica’s weather, not from Earth’s surface but from space, is revealing a phenomenon that could help determine how quickly the enormous ice sheet melts in a warming world.
The study, published on Tuesday in Geophysical Research Letters, focuses on “atmospheric rivers,” huge belts of water vapor that form over tropical and subtropical oceans, then ride the winds that encircle the planet, delivering sometimes copious amounts of rain and snow. One famous atmospheric river, called the Pineapple Express, is responsible for much of the water supply for the West Coast of the United States.

PART 1 : TWS challenges explained
By Hai YU, Clément MOULIN (Dolphin Design)
The audio market for wireless Bluetooth headsets is growing rapidly. Audio devices using Bluetooth (BT) connectivity are more ubiquitous than ever. People have gotten used to wireless audio systems, and the mobile phone industry is pushing towards a world without audio connectors and cables. The latest trend in wireless headsets and speakers is True Wireless Stereo systems (TWS), consisting of two independent units that are each charged in their own charging case. These headsets or speakers are typically connected through Bluetooth to an audio source while some contain additional memory to store music. TWS smart devices often contain integrated Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to eliminate unwanted background noise from the received audio and at the same time minimize disturbances in the transmitted audio stream e.g., during voice calls.
Study Highlights Potential Clinical Value of ePlex® Blood Culture ID Panels
Major teaching hospital in Grenoble, France demonstrates that ePlex BCID results could have modified antimicrobial treatment in 45% of patients
CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) GenMark Diagnostics, Inc. (NASDAQ:GNMK), a leading provider of automated, multiplex molecular diagnostic testing systems, announced today the publication of a manuscript in
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology that highlights strong performance and the potential clinical impact of the ePlex Blood Culture Identification (BCID) Panels. The study, “Evaluation of Microbiological Performance and the Potential Clinical Impact of the ePlex
® Blood Culture Identification Panels for the Rapid Diagnosis of Bacteremia and Fungemia,” looked prospectively at the identification of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes, as well as retrospectively analyzing clinical outcomes, based on ePlex BCID Panel
