Salesforce and other tech giants invest $24M in IFTTT to help it expand in enterprise IoT

IFTTT (If This Than That), a web-based software that automates and connects over 600 online services/software raised a $24M Series C led by Salesforce. Other investors include IBM and the Chamberlain Group and Fenox Venture Capital.

New apps and devices that made their way to IFTTT

The latest round brings IFTTT’s funding to $63M and it will use the funding proceeds to provide integration for enterprise and IoT services and hiring. In IFTTT’s platform, applets are code/script users need to deploy to integrate two or more services (such Google Drive’s integration with Twitter/Facebook).

“IFTTT is at the forefront of establishing a more connected ecosystem for devices and services. They see IFTTT as an important business, ecosystem, and partner in the industry,” said CEO Linden Tibbets.

Investment in IFTTT reveals that Salesforce is consolidating its presence in enterprise IoT space. It also acquired Mulesoft, an integration platform that rivals Microsoft’s BizTalk.

IBM’s investment in IFTTT is also noteworthy as the former is pushing its IBM Watson IoT platform. The following statement also shows its keen interest in IFTTT.

“IBM and IFTTT are working together to realize the potential of today’s connected world. By bringing together IBM’s Watson IoT Platform and Watson Assistant Solutions with consumer- facing services, we can help clients to create powerful and open solutions for their users that work with everything in the Internet of Things,” said Bret Greenstein, VP, Watson Internet of Things, IBM.

Other recent investments in IoT companies include $30M Series B of Armis and Myriota's $15M for its IoT satellite-based connectivity platform.

Amber Solutions raises $3.3M Series A to fast track sales of its smart electrical products

Amber Solutions, an IoT product company that sells smart outlets, switches and circuit breakers closed Series A Preferred Stock round of financing that equals $3.3M in gross proceeds. Amber will use the funds to support the commercial development of Amber's core technologies.

One of Amber’s product is solid-state circuit interrupter (GFCI) that basically stops harmful levels of electricity from passing through a person. It operates as a safety device alerting the homeowner of electrocution incidents in real time.

"We are pleased that our investors are embracing Amber's vision of bringing superior IoT intelligence and connectivity to a highly strategic area--the single gang box locations within the standard electrical infrastructure in homes and buildings," said Amber Solutions CEO Thar Casey.
"Amber's smart outlets and switches strategically aggregate IoT sensors and functions within a structure's single gang box locations. This means a more discreet and yet wider array of IoT sensing and control in every room than is typical today,"Casey further added.

Amber Solutions’ core markets are builders that prepare smart home/smart building ready infrastructure, certified electrical contractors or remodelers, and electrical manufacturers.

'Painful to see': rise in Russian medics falling prey to Covid-19 as death toll questioned

Lack of PPE cited as reason for mass infections – with suspicions deaths are not recorded

For weeks, paramedic Dmitry Seryogin had warned about the lack of coronavirus testing and inadequate protective gear that he and his colleagues were given in the city of Oryol, about a four-hour drive south of Moscow. If a patient did not explicitly warn they had coronavirus, he said, teams handled likely infections in simple masks and gloves.

Then, the inevitable happened. Two of his colleagues fell ill with coronavirus, then five more, and now, Seryogin says, more than a dozen have contracted the virus. The regional governor has confirmed an outbreak at a medical station, saying staff had been quarantined and he had “set the goal of providing everyone with PPE. No matter where they are going, what kind of call”.

Noise figure optimization of LNA

Hello, I looking for reaching minimal NOISE FIRUGE by peaking a combination of the RLC on the output load as shown bellow.
I tried to do it with PNOISE  but it gives me an error on the |f(in)| i am not sure regarding the sidebands in my case(its not a mixer)

How can i show Noise Figure and optimize it using my output RLC?

Thanks

LNA output noise floor at receiver front end.

Hi,

i am designing a broadband (100 MHz -6 GHz BW) receiver chain for  radar/rcs measurement tester. i will put Low noise amplifier after antenna input followed by mixed(10 MHz IF BW and digitizer.

I am facing problem regarding LAN. bandwidth of LAN is  approx 6 GHz(100 MHz-6GHz), gain 25-35 dB, with NF less than 2. I am uncertain about noise floor at the output of LNA.  I dont know exact SNR at the input of LNA but it shall be good.System operation will be on stepped CW waveform so receiver input signal will sweep over the BW and some step size.

so LNA output r noise floor will be? i assume, we can neglect thr role of input noise because it will be lesser than internal noise of LNA.

will it be LNA internal noise (Thermal noise due to BW) only ?

will it be LNA internal noise (Thermal noise due to BW)  + LAN Gain ? -78+25 =-53 dB? internal noise shall be lesser because NF is less than 3 . 

i have practically observed that that output noise floor is much lesser then even thermal noise( over LNA BW). i have gone through some tutorial where  formula says( internal noise+input noise)+gain. in  my case input noise shall be much less than theoretical internal noise. 

Thanks

pnoise pmjitter simulation

Hi, when I applied a voltage divider implemented by two 100-ohm resistors to a 2Vpp 5GHz vsin source, the phase noise simulation using pnoise/fullspectrum with different types, jitter and source have different results. The simulated output noise results are 165.76aV2/Hz for pmjitter case, and 828.79zV2/Hz for source case. The source case result equals to the output noise calculation.

For my application, the output will be applied to driven circuits and thus pm jitter is concerned. As the pmjitter is based on the noise sampling at the threshold crossings, I was wondering how spectre gets the pmjitter resullts since sampling white noise with infinite bandwidth is impossible to my knowledge?

Interestingly, the Jee result by integration from 10kHz to 2.5GHz is ~41fs and is closed to Jee,rms from the transient noise simulation. I am also not sure how these results come and match each other. If applying the voltage divider output to drive next stages, I was wondering to what extent I can trust the input jitter from these simulations? Thank you.
