Real-Time Systems Introduces Latest Hypervisor Software
Real-Time Systems GmbH announced the availability of the latest version of its Real-Time Hypervisor software. Available immediately, this software product, which was demonstrated for the first time last week at the RadiSys Technology Day in Germany, enables the simultaneous running of multiple operating systems on multi-core processors, and also supports Microsoft Windows XP.
LeCroy Announces WavePro 7 Zi Series Oscilloscope
LeCroy Corporation's new line of WavePro digital oscilloscopes, Serial Data Analyzers, and Disk Drive Analyzers — the 7 Zi Series — integrates performance, speed, and a user interface optimized for analysis to enhance the design, debug and validation process beyond any other instrument in the 1.5 GHz to 6 GHz bandwidth range. A superior feature finder, a new rare event capture technology, and the deepest toolbox with the greatest horsepower combine for powerful debug capability. Exceptional responsiveness and 10-20 times faster processing throughput lead to more efficient validation. A new form-factor and the largest display available on any oscilloscope make finding root cause easier. The breakthrough performance of the WavePro 7 Zi Series provides engineers with deeper insight into electronic design problems than possible before.
Elma Electronic Rolls Out Eco-Friendly 12R1 Line of Rugged Enclosures
Elma Electronic Inc., a global manufacturer of electronic packaging products, has announced a more eco-friendly 12R1 line of rugged COTS system platforms. The enclosure is lighter and uses RoHS-compliant materials. Elma's line of 12R1 enclosures are up to 20% lighter than the standard 12R2 line of rugged COTS chassis. This contributes for fuel savings for mobile (Air, Sea, Land) applications. The lighter units also help avionics and other applications meet weight constrictions. The system platforms are modular and come in various sizes and configurations. This includes 19" rackmount enclosures in 3U, 5U, 7U, and 10U heights and 22" and 25".
CSR, Skyhook Wireless Team on Wi-Fi Positioning
CSR, a leading global provider of wireless technologies, and Skyhook Wireless, maker of the Wi-Fi Positioning System and XPS 2.0, the hybrid positioning system, announced a partnership that will bring advanced location capabilities to CSR's Wi-Fi silicon. Skyhook Wireless' core technology, the Wi-Fi Positioning System (WPS), is software that produces accurate location information by detecting Wi-Fi access points and comparing them against a known database of geo-located points. By combining CSR's UniFi, embedded Wi-Fi chips, and GPS location solutions with Skyhook's positioning capabilities, this partnership will enable device makers to more easily support and launch location based services that satisfy consumer location needs.
Analog Devices Rolls Out AD7190 Sigma-Delta Converter
Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI), the global leader in data converter technology, is enabling industrial equipment manufacturers to expand the operating speed and precision of sensitive measurement instruments with the introduction of a sigma-delta ADC (analog-to-digital converter) that features the industry's best combination of data rate and noise-free resolution. While the resolution of competing devices degrades quickly at speeds beyond 1 kHz, ADI's 24-bit AD7190 sigma-delta ADC achieves greater than true 16-bit noise-free resolution up to 2.4 kHz across all input voltages from 40 mV to 5 V.
Semiconductor Chip Sales Grow by 7.5% to $20.3 Billion in May
Worldwide sales of semiconductors of $21.8 billion in May were 7.5 percent higher than the $20.3 billion reported for May 2007, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) reported. May sales were 2.8 percent higher than the $21.2 billion reported for April 2008. Year-to-date sales of $103.4 billion are up by 5.3 percent from the $98.2 billion reported for the first five months of 2007. Total semiconductor sales excluding memory products were up by 12.3 percent year-on-year and by 2.5 percent sequentially. SIA noted that May is historically a relatively strong month for semiconductor sales.
