Red, amber and green in the fight against Covid-19:
Breathing CO2 traffic light evaluates the air quality in rooms
How can an air quality traffic light help in fight against COVID-19?
Dirk Unsenos, General Manager of ISIS IC GmbH based in Wesel am Niederrhein says that “It must be quick and easy for people to use and the reading must be unmistakeable so that a clear course of action can be derived from it”.
“Our breathing CO2 traffic light is ready for use in a few seconds thanks to the integral sensor. It draws in the ambient air and then provides reliable information about the air quality.”

One gateway - several continents - many versions:
Robust, scalable LoRaWAN system by LAIRD
Bi-directional multi-protocol connectivity with
8 channels.
LoRa® can typically cover distances of 16 km
(10 miles).
The Sentrius™ RG1xx gateway from LAIRD can easily cover these large distances.
The LoRaWAN component consists of a LAIRD Sentrius RG1xx-M2 LoRa card and the established WB50NBT WiFi module with Bluetooth support.
Global connection with Cat-M1/NB1 and Cat-1:
The FX30 IoT gateway is extremely powerful with dimensions of 75 x 60 x 32 mm
Maximum flexibility due to compact dimensions of only 75 x 60 x 32 mm…
The robust housing can withstand temperatures of -30 °C to 75 °C…
The FX30 series from SIERRA WIRELESS includes three new gateways for reliably connecting devices to the Internet of Things via a mobile link. Ideal for installation in space-sensitive machines and industrial environments.
FX30 gateways support A-GPS, GLONASS and GALILEO satellites for position determination. As a device manufacturer, you can quickly integrate IoT connectivity into your products. You can also easily use customer-specific applications to monitor device functions "at the edge".

The BGM220P variant in the series is available in the form of a PCB module.
Speed control, even without Hall sensors:
TOSHIBA BLDC Motor Control for high-speed motors
Modern fan motors operate at ever higher speeds to generate faster airflows:
a) For fans designed to cool devices quickly and reliably.
b) For cordless vacuum cleaners and vacuum robots that need to generate a high suction power to quickly pick up dirt from the floor.
The whole process should be completed with maximum efficiency to keep energy costs as low as possible on the one hand, while on the other achieving the longest possible battery operating time per charge.
