Licensing the full suite of MPEG AAC codecs from Fraunhofer IIS for use with the Tensilica HiFi DSP, Cadence Design Systems plans to use the products to enhance the library of over 100 audio/voice software packages optimised for the HiFi DSP family. New standards include the AAC-ELD communication codec, which enables telephone conversations with the highest possible audio quality, and xHE-AAC, which is the latest upgrade to the MPEG AAC family of...

Engineers at Fraunhofer ESK have specified and implemented the required communication interface as part of the EU-sponsored smart vehicle-to-grid interface (SMARTV2G) project. This project aims to create a system in which electric vehicles use and temporarily store energy. By temporarily storing the energy, it can be fed back into the grid as needed.

SiSTEM Technology says that the Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) equipment it supplies from Picosun is being used in the fast, cost-efficient mass production of next generation 3D capacitors, as part of an EU development programme. These devices will be suitable for use, for example, in pacemakers and other implantable medical devices, electric cars, and highly efficient memories for computers and mobile devices.

Known as Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) or shuttle run, ams has updated the schedule of the IC prototyping service for 2014. Combining several designs from different customers onto a single wafer, the prototyping service offers significant cost advantages for foundry customers as the costs for wafers and masks are shared among a number of different shuttle participants.

A panel of prominent speakers at a CEO Roundtable will also discuss Industry 4.0 on the first day of the fair while the Innovation Forum in Hall B2 will focus on this topic on the third day of the fair.

Imec and its project partners today announced the launch of TERASEL (Thermo-plastically deformable circuits for embedded randomly shaped electronics), a project under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for Information and Communication Technologies (FP7). The overall goal of the project is the development, industrial implementation and application of large-area, cost-effective, randomly shaped electronics and sensor circuit te...

The manufacturing of individually designed organic light-emitting diodes and solar cells and their combination can be realized in the near future. After three years the project ManuCloud (distributed Cloud product specification and supply chain manufacturing execution infrastructure), which was funded by the European Union, now successfully completed its work. As result the project partners Heliatek, Fraunhofer COMEDD, Tridonic Dresden and GSS Ge...

ITI GmbH today published the official program for its 16th ITI Symposium running from November 12 through 13, 2013, at the International Congress Center Dresden. This year’s event revolves around “Network-Based Product Development” and lays the focus on crossindustry applications of ITI’s simulation software SimulationX. More than 40 speakers from 12 countries, including such Renowned companies and institutes as ABB, Aggre...

From 2015 onwards, the time that automobiles will need to spend in the repair shop could be significantly decreased. This will be possible thanks to joint research work undertaken by AUDI, Continental, Infineon Technologies and ZMDI. In the DIANA project, the companies have focused their research on ways of improving the analytical and diagnostic ability in electronic control units (ECUs) in vehicles. In three years of research under Infineon&rsq...
