Using a Device Firmware Monitor (DFM) to deal with software bugs
Johan Kraft, CEO and Founder of Percepio, introduces a new solution that leverages cloud connectivity to root out software bugs after device deployment.Computer scientist Edsger Dijkstra once said, “Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence”. Despite developers testing their software as much as possible, they just can’t prove that bugs don’t exist in the system.
Meeting the automation challenges of smart manufacturing
It is worth stating that implementing smart manufacturing is a very worthwhile exercise, successfully applying a level of smart manufacturing will bring greater efficiencies and flexibility to any given production process. It is also a significant step toward ‘futureproofing’ a production enterprise.That 'forward thinking' mind-set is essential when implementing smart manufacturing projects where intelligent machines, systems and netw...
Colour sensor helps professional painters match colour choices
Professional painters can now be more confident about precisely matching their clients’ colour choices in seconds, thanks to a new digital Colour Sensor developed by AkzoNobel.The small portable device can accurately scan colour on any object. It then links to a Colour Sensor app which provides the exact paint colour match.
Developing electronics for missions to Mars and Jupiter
Specialists in visualisation in debugging technology for electronic circuits and systems, Concept Engineering, has announced that NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory will use Concept Engineering’s E-engine and EEvision system visualisation software to develop electronics for space missions to Mars and Jupiter moon Europa.
Is space the solution to Earth’s environmental problems?
As the 50th anniversary of the moon landing approaches, new research has found children are looking to space just as much as their grandparents were 50 years ago, but for very different reasons. Nearly two thirds (61%) of children are worried about environmental damage to the planet, with 49% believing we will have to look to Space for somewhere to live in the future.
Initiative to develop world’s tiniest trusted platform module announced
Groundbreaking work to assure cyber security in the IoT era has been initiated, as theTrusted Computing Group (TCG)launched a new project to create the 'world’s tiniestTrusted Platform Module (TPM).'Many manufacturers want to build devices that include Roots of Trust for Measurement (RTM), Storage (RTS) and Reporting (RTR) so that these devices can work securely within the TCG Measurement and Attestation framework.Today, TPM chips are used ...
Upgraded training facilities with a new digital LMS
Last week, the Empire Test Pilot School (ETPS) welcomed back Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Hillier to MOD Boscombe Down for a tour of the new facilities and to celebrate the successful transformation of test pilot and engineer training.
ExoMars rover science laboratory fitted
The ExoMars rover’s Analytical Laboratory Drawer (ALD) was integrated into the rover at Airbus, Stevenage, UK in May 2019. The video is shown at 18 times real speed; in reality the sequence of events took around 11.5 minutes.
Graphene goes to space
Graphene Flagship partners, Université Libre de Bruxelles, University of Pisa and the University of Cambridge, in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Swedish Space Corporation (SSC), launched a rocket into space from Kiruna, Sweden on June 24th.
Inspiration Rover project encourages children into STEM
Twelve young people recently enjoyed a day at Leicester’s National Space Centre, celebrating their achievements as part of educational outreach project Inspiration Rover.The project, which was led by mature student Henry Bennett from the University of Derby with support from fellow undergraduates, academics and alumni, saw the young people involved help develop a scale model of the Mars Science Laboratory Rover using a design from NASA Jet ...
