DSM Computer Launches Industrial BookSize PC Family
With compact dimensions of 300 x 219 x 90 mm, DSM Computer’s “B6″, “B2″ and “B1″ of the new BookSize PC family, suitable for use in industrial environments made a convincing debut at SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2007. The IPCs in book format are used principally in thin-client applications, e.g. in POS/POI stations (operator terminals), in data networks or as quietly-operating office servers. In contrast to desktop PCs, they offer maximum reliability and operational security coupled with guaranteed long-term availability.

Atmel Introduces AT86RF535B MAX-Link Transceiver for WiMAX
Atmel(R) Corporation (NASDAQ: ATML) announced the third of its MAX-Link(TM) series of transceivers designed specifically for WiMAX applications. AT86RF525B and its predecessor, the AT86RF535B, use a proprietary internal calibration algorithm eliminating the need for an external calibration circuit or calibration software. The MAX-Link(TM) transceivers are the only WiMAX specific transceivers on the market today with internal calibration. Initial startup calibration captures mismatch effects resulting in lower local oscillator leakage and improved image rejection. Changes in temperature, supply voltage, or frequency during operation will cause RF performance degradation and necessitates recalibration. The calibration routine is continuously performed between transmit and receive data frames, totally independent from the baseband and media access control (MAC) processor, to optimize the image rejection and LO leakage performance characteristics.
