Mentor Graphics today announced availability of the first, comprehensive IP to System, UPF-based low-power verification flow. The IEEE-1801 UPF has emerged as the low- power standard that enables designers to specify a design’s power intent separately from the design itself ensuring reuse, portability and greater flexibility in power management techniques.

Oxford Instruments X-Ray Technology has taken centre stage in the most sophisticated scientific exploration ever attempted on Mars. NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory mission, carrying the one-ton “Curiosity” rover, successfully touched down in August and quickly began assessing the planet’s past and current habitability. At the heart of this undertaking is a specially designed Oxford Instruments X-ray tube located in the Curiosity’s Chemis...

Figures released from the Manufacturing Advisory Service show manufacturing SMEs in London and the South East are optimistic for growth in 2013, reinforcing recent economic forecasts predicting an upturn in the sector.

API Technologies announced today that it has expanded its Power and Systems Solutions offering with a line of custom high reliability Power Distribution Units (PDUs) for the following applications; defense, communications and telecommunications networking equipment, data storage systems, alternative energy systems, oil & gas infrastructure, and medical equipment.

PRQA annonce que ses outils prennent en charge MISRA C:2012 (MISRA C3) avec un module de conformité mis à jour pour QA•C version 8.1, en anticipation de la nouvelle version de la norme de codage qui sera publiée le 18 mars. La nouvelle norme contient de nombreuses améliorations par rapport aux versions précédentes et étend la prise en charge de la version C99 du langage C (ISO/CEI 9899:1999).

In the last 70 years, Brüel & Kjær systems have measured sound on the International Space Station and ensured all of NASA‘s Mars rovers survived the journey there. Our accelerometers have turned the Golden Gate Bridge into a giant harp and helped maintain hydroelectric generators around the world, while our world-leading microphones and hydrophones have investigated everything from submarines off Sweden to the pressure in Boeing’s wind tunn...

Emerson Network Power has introduced two new surge protection devices specifically designed to provide greater assurance and safety for critical surveillance system components. The Edco CP-24 and Edco HVCP-48-BNC are new additions to Emerson Network Power’s comprehensive surveillance surge protection solutions that encompass closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras, data, video and DC power.

LIGHTFAIR International will produce its 2016 west-coast event in San Diego in a strategic move signaling continuing growth for the world’s largest annual architectural and commercial lighting trade show and conference, according to Jeffrey L. Portman, Sr., president and chief operating officer of LFI managing partner AMC, Inc.

AVX developed and supplied the 630 tantalum multianode capacitors that are responsible for powering the ChemCam laser module on-board Curiosity, which successfully landed on Mars on August 6, 2012.

The increased use of embedded microcontrollers in electronic equipment coupled with a world energy crisis will force electronics engineers to look at hitherto ignored power-saving features of these devices. Dr. William Marshall, Semiconductors Content Editor at RS Components discusses energy-efficent and power-saving features of embedded microcontrollers in this article from ES Design Magazine.
