Providing a connection between one to four load cells and a weighing system, theLCI Load Cell Failure Alarm constantly monitors the condition of individual load cells. Manufactured by Aptifirst, this unit prevents the incorrect weighing of product and any subsequent technical and commercial problems by continuous diagnosis of fault conditions.

An open development alliance based on IBM's POWER microprocessor architecture, Altera joins the IBM OpenPOWER Foundation. The company will collaborate with IBM and other members to develop high-performance compute solutions integrating IBM POWER CPUs with Altera’s FPGA-based acceleration technologies for use in next-generation data centres.

The EEMBC hasannounced the availability of the first version of EEMBC ULPBench, a standardized, industry-developed and endorsed method to encourage MCU vendors to provide application developers with accurate, reliable information. This, therefore, allows developers to equitably compare the efficiency of microcontrollers targeted at ULP applications.

Intersil has announced plans to focus on power management solutions for applications ranging from cloud computing to mobile devices. Leveraging the company’s deep technology portfolio and strong track record of innovation, Intersil's next wave of products will address the most challenging power management issues in systems today, including efficiency, battery life, reliability and intelligence.

With a built inadjustable watchdog timer, Torex Semiconductor'sXC6130/31 voltage detector is suitedfor high reliability applications where the system needs to be able to recover from code errors without human intervention.The reset timeout and the watchdog timeout period can be adjusted using an external capacitor while a separate manual reset input on the XC6130 allows a simple push button interface.

The STEVAL-MKI109V2 motherboard from STMicroelectronics is designed to provide users with a complete, ready-to-use platform for the evaluation of the company’s MEMS products. The board features a DIL24 socket to mount all available adapters for both digital and analog output MEMS devices.

The GUIX Studio, due to be demonstrated by Express Logic at EE Live 2014,simplifies GUI development for medical devices, consumer electronics, and industrial control equipment.GUIX Studio is a PC-based, WYSIWYG GUI design tool featuring automatic code generation for embedded systems.

A proposal to form a newAccellera standards committee, toinvestigate the standardisation of a graph-based test specification standard, has been made by Mentor Graphics.To underscore this endeavor, Mentor will make a technical donation of its existing graph-based test specification format to jump-start the standardization effort.

Phoenix Photonics will unveil the Polarimeter as part of its expanded Firebird instrumentation range at the OFC 2014 exhibition in San Francisco (March 9-13). The Phoenix In-Line Fiber Polarimeter complements the popular FireBird range allowing for measurement of SOP changes. The instrument provides for minimally invasive polarisation analysis in fiber systems.

Farnell element14 and Atmel have launched the SAMA5D3 Xplained evaluation kit, a low-cost fast prototyping and evaluation platform for microprocessor-based design. The board, which is based on Atmel’s SAMA5D3 ARM Cortex-A5 processor-based MPU, comes with a rich set of ready-to-use connectivity and storage peripherals, along with Arduino shield-compatible expansion headers for easy customisation.
