New tunable capacitors from STMicroelectronics are meant to optimize signal-power transfer between a smartphone's antenna and power amplifier. Other improvements include lower parasitic resistance and inductance, which boost efficiency and reduce heat dissipation, and a higher ESD rating for greater robustness.

The LM35 is an ideal temperature sensor for measuring ambient temperature. It provides a linear output proportional to the temperature, with 0 V corresponding to 0 degrees C and an output voltage change of 10 mV for each degree C change. LM35s are easier to use than thermistors and thermocouples because they are so linear and require no signal conditioning.

Qi (pronounced as "chee") charging is an optimized inductive charging concept also known as “wireless charging,” allowing you to charge your devices wirelessly. Compatible devices’ batteries are charged by using induction transfer without requiring separate chargers, cables or adapters... Simply place your compatible device on top of the wireless pad and watch your device charge. Finally--an end to cords!
