Tiny machine learning is broadly defined as a fast growing field of machine learning technologies and applications including hardware (dedicated integrated circuits), algorithms and software capable of performing on-device sensor (vision, audio, IMU, biomedical, etc.) data analytics at extremely low power, typically in the mW range and below, and hence enabling a variety of always-on use-cases and targeting battery operated devices.
Anders Hardebring, CEO and Co-Founder of Imagimob is helping companies imagine what they can do by bringing machine learning into embedded devices. Imagine audio classification without any data ever leaving the embedded device. Or sensing that a machine is about to break and turn it off in a few milliseconds. Even when the connection is down.

Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) are secure areas under U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) supervision that are generally considered outside CBP territory upon activation. They are usually located in or near CBP ports of entry and are known as the United States' version of free-trade zones.
We chatted with Teri Ivaniszyn, VP of Operational Excellence and Trade Compliance at Digi-Key, about FTZss to learn more about her accomplishment of establishing the largest FTZ.
According to Ivaniszyn, the largest Foreign Trade Zone is calculated based on the number of packages and what's shipped out. Because all of the other Foreign Trade Zones that have been set up have traditionally been for large carriers by sea or by train, they put them in those big containers and ship them out.
"The thing with Digi-Key is we're shipping out one box at a time. One box here. One box there, which has made it very difficult to get set up because they were used to the big containers," said Ivaniszyn. This process of shipping single line items was very different for the government and for the carriers. It's been quite a learning process for the Digi-Key team and challenging to execute. (Not even Amazon has an FTZ that ships small packages!)
In the end, with all the tariffs coming in, it helps Digi-Key defer duties, taxes, and tariffs, so the company is not sitting with liability on the shelves. That helps the end customer and suppliers because they don't have to push the charges through. So they're not incurring the costs, and then Digi-Key's customers outside the United States are not burdened with any tariff charges.

Michael Knight has one word to sum up 2021: Cluster! But despite all the uncertainty and delays, there's a silver lining and hope on the horizon.
The key theme of all this is demand has been growing in all technologies, and in all and market segments, and on top of that what's been happening, there's been some new market segments that have really caught fire and are adding to the pressure -- the demand pressure on the whole supply chain. For example, electric vehicles are coming into their own, plus you've got medical wearables, AI is consuming more and more compute power. There's a ton of IoT applications emerging, especially the remote stuff that's battery enabled. So, we've got this pervasive, quickly expanding demand on the supply chain, and what's made 2021 so difficult and dominated the headlines is that the supply chain has not been up to the task. The big question about 2022 is what's going to be different?
We'll dive deep into that and more valuable industry insights with Michael Knight in this kick off episode of 2022.

How can we all get a grip on our water usage? More and more of us want to be proactive about protecting the planet and our pockets. That's where smart technology like Flume comes in. By adding a simple device to your home water meter you can create daily, weekly or monthly budgets and use your usage data to compare (and compete?) with your Flume neighbors. On this episode of the eeDesignIt Podcast, we had a chance to chat with Flume's founder, James Fazio, about the smarts behind the technology, as well as water usage and data.
More about James: James, following three generations of successful entrepreneurs, grew up with the passion for creation and collaboration. There are few periods in his life where he hasn’t been actively involved in some sort of project - whether it was music, short videos, websites or mobile applications. Throughout college, James gained experience working at multiple companies in both web and backend development, and eventually completed his degree in software engineering. In his senior year, James was approached by Eric with the original idea for Flume and immediately jumped on board. As Flume’s CTO, James bridges the gap between business and technology by effectively developing, articulating, and evolving the company’s strategic technical and product direction. James oversees the continuous development of Flume’s hardware and software to ensure the growth and success of Flume.

Wireless module are at the heart of every wireless device (comprised of the chip, memory, etc.) and are critical to the Internet of Things. From the smartphone to the Roomba to the smart fridge to the Nest, every house will soon have dozens of connected devices.
On this episode of the eeDesignIt Podcast, we chat with Ahmad Malkawi, CEO, Global Telecom, the only U.S. company for wireless modules.
Spectrum efficiency and antenna design are two of Ahmad’s strongest suits. His antenna design was critical in the launch of the first Chromebook and his modules, modems and other wireless devices are centred around the strongest, most reliable signal because of his knowledge of managing the spectrum, mitigating interference and ensuring expanded reach of signal. We’ll dive deep into these concepts, learn more about the major companies Ahmad partners with and of course, talk about security—a huge issue for modules and any wireless design company. From the two patents on hostless, driverless module to his use of select blockchain to his current big project of quantum cryptography, we’ll really discover the threat that is posed and the innovative ways to combat it.

Digitization has taken off in 2020 and one of the leading beneficiaries of that is the Internet of Things. The value proposition for getting -- and using -- data from sensors has grown exponentially. LoRaWAN, backed by the LoRa Alliance, is the leading low power wide area networking technology that is ideal for these devices that need to be connected in remote and hard to reach locations, or to connect assets on the move. The technology is seeing strong adoption in metering, logistics, agriculture, smart cities, wildlife protection - the use cases are endless.
We had the pleasure of chatting with Derek Wallace, VP of Marketing at LoRa Alliance, about how the technology is changing the way we connect and all of the wonderful applications for the technology.

We had the pleasure of chatting with Paul Lockhart, CEO of NoviSphere, and former astronaut who twice piloted the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Through his work for both NASA and the private sector, he’s gained a great deal of insight into the challenges surrounding keeping the air we breathe clean and pathogen-free.
Paul answers all of our questions about space tech, Mars, UV-C technology and how it could help with COVID-19, as well as what we need to know about the air we breathe.
NoviSphere recently launched its first product, a system that uses UV-C light to kill 99.99% of airborne bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, including coronavirus (confirmed by independent testing). The system’s unique design combines UV-C arrays with proprietary baffling technology, which ensures the pathogens are exposed to the UV light for the optimal length of time to be destroyed. Because the UV-C lights are fully sealed inside the unit, it’s safe to use in heavily trafficked areas like hospitals, malls, restaurants, sports arenas, etc.
