On July 25, 2014, the Modelica Association Project Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) announced the release of the FMI standard 2.0. dSPACE is among the first providers to provide tool chain support to theFMI standard 2.0; a manufacturer-independent interface that allows users to integrate simulation models from different modeling tools into one overall model.

The age of the development kit is very much upon us. According to Farnell element14 research conducted with more than 1,500 designers of electronic prototypes, on average development kits were used in 45% of all designs in the 12 months up to March 2014. By utilising readymade, low cost boards engineers can test their design ideas with a variety of components. By Richard Curtin, Global Director of Strategic Alliance, element14.

Today’s motor control products increasingly come with a variety of supporting material, including free algorithms, to help speed up time to market. Sally Ward-Foxton reports for ES Design magazine.

The 4th International Workshop on Power Supply on Chip (PowerSoC2014) will be held at Northeastern University Boston MA on October 6-8, 2014. The Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) and IEEE Power Electronics Society (IEEE PELS) are jointly sponsoring, and the College of Engineering (COE) of Northeastern University (NEU) is hosting the workshop.

Thermal issues are the key technology barrier to LED adoption for general lighting applications. By Dr. John Parry, Electronics Industry Manager, Mechanical Analysis Division, Mentor Graphics.

Having acquired a 100% interest in Image Metrology, Digital Surf has announced that it will join forces with Image Metrology. Operating independently under their existing management, the companies will share their software technologies and know-how to provide best in class image processing and surface metrology software to their respective partners and users.

The industrial services market is expected to shape new business models of major industrial vendors. The evolution of the manufacturing processes is emphasizing the need to improve plant profitability while reducing downtime.

AWS has announced it has consolidated its UK manufacturing sites and is taking on more business at its facility in Slovakia. The capabilities of two satellite sites, AWS Newbury and AWS Biggleswade, have been incorporated into the company’s main 48,000 ft² plant at Newcastle under Lyme. The consolidated site now provides fast-track NPI turnaround to customers and complete through life product support (MRO), as well as box build, surfac...

Low Power Consumption is the Key Many electric motors consume more current than necessary just because they do not operate within their optimum efficiency range. Field-oriented control (FOC) is ideally suited to solve this problem by enabling precise control based on torque and speed.

Providing designers with the ability to assemble and optimise complex electronic systems, the Xpedition Path Finder product suite has been launched by Mentor Graphics. The product suite supports a methodology that leverages layout data from the IC and board design teams to guide and automate IC package selection and optimisation.
