Texas Instruments (TI) will showcase Gen-Next sensors and building management sytems powered by its Digital Signal Processor (DSP) technology at the 'TI Developer Conference' or TIDC being held at Bangalore on November 29th and 30th.

The mainstay of TI's DSP technology is that it can dramatically reduce emission of carbon dioxide from industrial- and commercial- buildings, thus helping fight global warming. This assumes immense importance given that daily, millions of tons of Carbon Dioxide are getting pumped into the atmosphere.

TI seeks to address this challenge by way of its Digital Signal Processors that enable next generation 'intelligent occupancy sensors' to be more efficient and accurate. In turn directly contributing to a reduction in Carbon Dioxide emission from industrial- and commercial- buildings.

While conventional occupancy sensors may give inaccurate detections, not so the 'intelligent occupancy sensors', which, based on TI's DSP technology, improve upon existing occupancy technology, and make for better data collection for a more effective and efficient use of resources.

How an 'intelligent occupancy sensor' works is when video information enters the sensor, it is processed on a TI chip, providing real time occupancy data for a variety of upstream applications.

TI is confident that even with a 10 percent uptake of these devices, emission of Carbon Dioxide can be reduced to the extent of nearly 2.5 million cars off Indian roads.

Such technology innovation can directly address issues like global warming, said Dr Biswadeep (Bobby) Mitra, managing director of Texas Instruments India.
