Handbook published on DO-178C/ED-12C guidance
The publication and immediate availability of a free booklet, AdaCore Technologies for DO-178C / ED-12C, has been announced by AdaCore, which was written by Quentin Ochem (AdaCore) and certification expert Frédéric Pothon.The booklet addresses the DO-178C / ED-12C standards suite – the ‘core’ DO-178C / ED-12C standard and its technology supplements – and explains many of their more subtle aspects in the conte...
Breaking the supermassive black hole speed limit
A computer simulation helps explain the existence of puzzling supermassive black holes observed in the early universe. The simulation is based on a computer code used to understand the coupling of radiation and certain materials.
Active learning modules focus on improving education
Two active learning modules have been announced by Analog Devices that help introduce students and enthusiasts to electrical engineering concepts in a cost effective, easy-to-use, hands-on environment.The ADALM2000 Active Learning Module allows students to design and test analogue circuits in real-time, utilising the power of traditional lab equipment made available with graphical application software.
When it comes to BIM models, lightweight data matters
Progman are suppliers of MagiCAD software to the construction industry. In an interview withMalin Knoop of WSP Systems, alongtime user of MagiCAD (and more recently, MagiCloud), the importance of accessing high-quality BIM models in the design phase of construction projects is discussed. Theuser also highlights a workaround for making sure plans aren’t laden down with too much data at too early a stage.
Embedded platform expanded to conform to ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207
Supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, Renesas Electronics,unveiled the latest expansion of its Renesas Synergy Platform at embedded world 2017. Key developments to the Synergy Platform include the latest version of the Synergy Software Package (SSP) version 1.2.0 that assures levels of software quality in accordance to processes defined by the international standard ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 by offering a complete Software Quality Assurance (SQA...
Imaging at the speed of light
Tiny micro- and nanoscale structures within a material's surface are invisible to the naked eye, but play a big role in determining a material's physical, chemical, and biomedical properties.Over the past few years, Chunlei Guo and his research team at the University of Rochester have found ways to manipulate those structures by irradiating laser pulses to a material's surface. They've altered materials to make them repel water, attract water, an...
3D-printing improves the development of artificial reefs
Fake reefs may be less vulnerable to climate change and more durable in the changing ocean chemistry than natural reefs. Scientists are using 3D-printing technology that enables them to create fake reefs mimicking the texture and architectural structure of natural reefs in ways that haven’t been achieved in prior restoration efforts.Experimental installations of these 3D-printed reefs are now going on in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, th...
From tracking to dating, AR looks set to become the norm
When Apple launched the first iPhone back in 2007, controlling industrial machinery and large plants via a touch-screen was unthinkable – in the meantime this has become a matter of course though. It is therefore plain to see, even without virtual reality glasses, that augmented reality, which is becoming more and more common in the private sector, will also become the standard in the professional sector.
NEON-1021-M does not require programming
ADLINK Technology has announced the release of its new NEON-1021-M Intel Atom E3845 processor-based ready-to-go smart camera with MVTec MERLIC. Equipping its state-of-the-art quad-core smart camera with an easy-to-use machine vision software, the NEON-1021-M significantly increases competitive advantage, exceeding basic smart camera advantages for machine vision development.
Five considerations for securing your sensitive data
Managing your own data centre, colocation facility or technical data repository it can be difficult especially in terms of security, and how important security is.It is essential to safeguard sensitive information from physical theft, hacking, data breaches and human error.Even though there has already been a lot written about this, in this article it will help strengthen security strategies even further going forward.
