Blink, a social network application for gamers that launched its beta in December 2018 has created a new phenomenon in engagement. Blink leverages advanced AI to detect and create highlights of gameplay for users to share. As part of their ongoing development they recently asked their community to challenge their AI, the community responded by actually “breaking” Hearthstone.

Stringent government regulations, requirement for compliance with emission standards, and increasing consumer inclination towards innovative safety technologies are transforming automobile industry. Rising public spending has resulted in increased automobile sales and road traffic, thereby enhancing the probability of accidents, property loss, and fatalities. 

The complexity inherent in autonomous vehicle design will push the tools and methodologies used by automotive engineers to their limits. This is especially true in the electrical and electronic systems domains as they come to dominate the operation of a vehicle’s safety-critical systems and convenience features.  

Toshiba has announced the development of an image recognition SoC (System on Chip) for automotive applications that implements deep learning accelerator at ten times the speed and four times the power efficiency of Toshiba’s previous product. Details of the technology were reported at the 2019 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco on 19th February.

At embedded world 2019, Advantech, AMD, and Mentor, a Siemens business, announced an initiative to make AI technology more accessible and easier to implement, which in turn, is expected to create more AI-based business opportunities. AI technology will take embedded systems to the next level with higher efficiency and smarter systems designed to improve people’s lives.

Today’s surround view systems may have four cameras or more to observe and analyse the scene around an automobile. Typically, at least four camera streams will be stitched together in a 2D or 3D display for the best driver experience. Camera monitor systems (CMS), may require two cameras on the driver’s side and two cameras on the passenger side, rendering the video streams to create a very wide view. 

Boosting performance by up to 10X for Automotive Radar/Lidar and up to 30X for 5G communications the Cadence Tensilica ConnX B20 DSP IP becomes the highest-performing DSP in the ConnX family. Based on a deeper processor pipeline architecture, this DSP provides a faster and more power-efficient solution for the automotive and 5G communications markets, including next-generation radar, lidar, vehicle-to-everything (V2X), user equipment (UE)/infrast...

Dyslexia is caused by a different wiring of our brains. While it has no relationship to intelligence (Thomas Edison, Steven Spielberg, Pablo Picasso, Albert Einstein and Charles Schwab were all dyslexic), it can make reading and early learning more difficult. As many as 10-15% of school-age children are dyslexic, and the International Dyslexia Association estimates that there are 1 billion people with dyslexia worldwide.
