Mentor Graphics has further expanded its Mentor Safe functional safety assurance program with the addition of ReqTracer, an industry-standard line of software tools for requirements management and tracking. Achieving the highest possible tool confidence level as a standalone tool, ReqTracer is now qualified for use in safety-critical ISO 26262 designs and verification flows at all criticality levels up to and including ASIL D.

Driverless, electric and connected, the ‘Robocar’ has been billed as the car of the future. The Chief Designer Daniel Simon was responsible for the cars in Tron: Legacy, which goes some way to explain the futuristic appearance of the world’s first autonomous electric racing car.At the Roborace competition on 18thFebruary in Buenos Aires, Argentina, two ‘DevBot’ cars raced against each other.

For the development and successful market introduction of the reflexive position sensor, EncoderBlue,iC-Haus was awarded the Innovation Award 2017 in Rhineland-Palatinate.The optical position sensor transmits the performance data of machine tools, robots, and power trains. While under pricing pressure, products were required with high resolution, in wide temperature ranges, small packages, and for high rotational velocities.

At embedded world 2017, Real-Time Innovations (RTI) will present its connectivity platform for real-time applications in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The focus will be on the RTI Connext DDS middleware for smart distributed applications, its application in the field of autonomy as well as the security specification Connext DDS Secure. Connext DDS live demos can also be seen at partner booths.

Greenwave Systems has announced a collaboration with Wind River to deliver its AXON Predict engine for Wind River’s VxWorks Real Time Operating System (RTOS) developer community.

The Mobile Fronthaul and Mobile Backhaul Solutions has been expanded by Infinera to support mobile operators as their networks evolve to become 5G ready.

What is claimed to be the industry’s first receiver test solution with 100 percent coverage of the MIPI Alliance’s recently released D-PHY v.2.0 specification along with full support for the C-PHY v1.1 receiver test specification has been released by Tektronix. MIPI designers, such as those working on autonomous driving systems or in-vehicle infotainment, can now access simplified PHY receiver test set up and faster test execution com...

In order to get a more detailed picture of energy flows in the electrical grid, scientists from the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research in Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) are looking to use improved, self-learning algorithms. A major research project was launched to this end in February 2017. These algorithms will serve to more accurately forecast consumers' needs and the amount of electricity generated from renewables. Satellite data will...

In many production applications, automation is employed to carry out tasks such as gripping, moving and positioning objects, and, in some cases, controlling and regulating whole processes. These are all tasks that are also routinely carried out in nature. Ten years ago, German automation company Festo set up the Bionic Learning Network to study and learn from these natural phenomena.

Linear Technology introduces the LTC4279 single port PoE controller for PSE, delivering up to 123W of power over CAT-5e cable for power-hungry applications. Demand for higher power delivery comes from a widespread set of applications, including LTE picocell base stations, LED signage, security monitoring systems, home automation and machine vision systems. The highly versatile LTC4279 delivers power to a wide variety of powered devices.
