1+ day, 19+ hour ago (292+ words) Farmers protest in Kalaburagi, demanding immediate opening of maize procurement centres and a support price of "3,000 per quintal. Members of the All India Kisan Khet Mazdoor Sangathan (AIKKMS) staged a protest in front of the Deputy Commissioner's office on Friday, demanding the immediate opening of government procurement centres and a support price of "3,000 per quintal for maize.Addressing the protest, E Hanumantappa, a State committee member of the organisation, said that a large number of farmers in Ballari and other parts of Karnataka had cultivated maize this year He noted that in recent years, farmers growing chillies had incurred heavy losses due to poor market prices, which pushed many of them to switch to maize cultivation this season Although maize fetched a good price at the beginning of the monsoon, rates have now dropped sharply.Mr Hanumantappa said that the…...

1+ day, 22+ hour ago (441+ words) For years, accelerometers have been the workhorses of motion sensing in automotive systems. But as Adabala explains, they've reached a limit. "Accelerometers are good at detecting movement, but they're prone to drift and noise, especially in complex environments," he says. That's where gyrometers come in. Gyrometers, or gyroscopes, measure angular velocity, essentially how fast something is rotating. "When you combine that with accelerometer data in a fusion model, you get a far more stable and accurate picture of a vehicle's orientation and motion trajectory," he adds. His path to innovation hasn't been without its hurdles. Synchronizing data from radar, accelerometers, and now gyrometers, each with different update frequencies and noise behaviors, posed serious challenges. "No two sensors speak the same language," he explains. "Getting them to work in harmony required building dynamic calibration routines and real-time correction algorithms." These systems…...

2+ day, 4+ hour ago (169+ words) Amphenol Piher HCSO-1W Automotive Hall Effect Current Sensors are open-loop current sensors that generate a ratiometric analog output voltage signal proportional to the current flowing through the conductor. Utilizing Hall effect technology, the HCSO-1W delivers reliable performance with excellent linearity and low hysteresis, ensuring precise monitoring of DC and AC currents up to "1000A. The open-loop design enables galvanic isolation between the primary conductor and the measurement electronics, enhancing safety and system integrity.

2+ day, 17+ hour ago (303+ words) One of the major difficulties in studying electricity, especially when compared to many other physical phenomena, is that it cannot be observed directly by human senses. We can manipulate it "read more One of the major difficulties in studying electricity, especially when compared to many other physical phenomena, is that it cannot be observed directly by human senses. We can manipulate it to perform various tasks and see its effects indirectly, like the ionized channels formed during lightning strikes or the resistive heating of objects, but its underlying behavior is largely hidden from view. Even mathematical descriptions can quickly become complex and counter-intuitive, obscured behind layers of math and theory. Still, [lcamtuf] has made some strides in demystifying aspects of electricity in this introduction to analog filters. [analog-filters-thumb]The discussion on analog filters looks at a few straightforward examples first....

2+ day, 18+ hour ago (183+ words) Karnataka allows poultry feed producers to buy maize directly from farmers at MSP rates. Published - December 04, 2025 09:10 pm IST - Bengaluru The Karnataka government has permitted poultry feed manufacturers to directly purchase maize from farmers at Minimum Support Price (MSP) rates for the 2025-26 kharif season, ensuring better price realisation and reducing dependence on intermediaries. A government order to this effect was issued on Thursday. The decision follows a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, where industry representatives were urged to procure an estimated five lakh tonnes of maize grown in the 202526 kharif season directly from farmers. The Karnataka Poultry Farmers and Breeders Association (KPFBA) has agreed to begin with an initial procurement of 5,000 tonnes, offering 20% advance payment. Procurement will be based on MSP quality parameters, with a requirement that moisture content should not exceed 12% for poultry feed suitability. Earlier, Karnataka State Co-operative…...

2+ day, 22+ hour ago (240+ words) Bengaluru, Dec 4 (PTI) The Karnataka government has permitted poultry feed manufacturers to buy maize directly from farmers at MSP-linked prices for the 2025-26 Kharif season, aiming to ease procurement bottlenecks and support growers. The order follows a proposal from the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Services after consultations with poultry and livestock feed manufacturers. The government said the permission was being granted in view of the aspects detailed in the proposal. According to the Commissioner's note to the government, the chief minister, at a meeting on December 1, asked manufacturers to directly purchase an estimated five lakh tonnes of maize from farmers, keeping farmers' welfare in mind. Manufacturers conveyed that they were willing to source maize directly if quality suitable for poultry feed was ensured and advance payment requirements were kept low. At a follow-up meeting on December 2, members of the…...

2+ day, 22+ hour ago (210+ words) Unlike traditional sensors, optical sensors use light instead of electricity. From aircraft to industrial systems, a new sensing method is promising precision and safety. But how? In a conversation with Mukesh Kumar Rao, CEO of Zosh Aerospace, it was disclosed that they are developing optical sensors currently in the R&D stage. According to the development timeline, such a system would be available in around six months." Another major benefit of optical sensors is scalability. While copper-based sensors need separate wiring for every sensing point, fibre optic systems allow multiple sensors, sometimes hundreds, connected in series along a single fibre. Each sensor can still be monitored individually, reducing weight and complexity in applications such as aircraft, industrial systems, and infrastructure monitoring. "Fibre optic sensors are also safer in sensitive environments. Copper-based electronic sensors can generate sparks, which is risky in…...
