What we really need is a new approach to designing the systems we want to protect, an approach that can make those systems inherently tamper-resistant and capable of surviving assaults. Otherwise, we’re simply erecting concrete barriers around a house of cards...
The next-generation family of power semiconductors from Infineon Technologies AG improves reliability and raises power efficiency by 1% to 1.3% in dc-dc converters. The 30-V OptiMOS 3 N-channel MOSFETs feature industry-leading key power-conversion performance, according to the company...
Troy Hayes, PhD, examines the most common causes for dangerous failures in battery systems. Robin Tichy, PhD, provides design guidelines and techniques for power system designers to eliminate these failures in their own portable products. These design guidelines include cell selection & qualification, protection circuit design & placement, battery authentication, charging regimens, mechanical considerations, and battery integration with portable devices.

Hybrid TV, GPS Module Enhances Location Accuracy Both Indoors And Out
The Rosum TV+GPS Hybrid Positioning Module (HPM) combines the indoor and urban reliability of Rosum's TV-positioning technology with the sensitivity and accuracy of Global Locate's Hammerhead A-GPS chip to deliver highly reliable and accurate location information in all environments: indoor, outdoor, dense urban, and rural...
Smaller LCD Switches Target Broadcast Applications
At 25% smaller than the industry-standard size, the new compact programmable LCD SmartSwitch from NKK Switches is well suited for systems and designs where a user interface is required but size is an issue...
High-Isolation DC-DC Converters Meet Safety Standards
The THB-3 series of high-isolation (4000 V ac RMS) dc-dc converters features supplementary and reinforced insulation and is qualified to UL60950-1 and UL60601-1 safety standards...
With an up-to-date program of innovation and information from more than 3,000 exhibitors on 160,000 m2 of exhibition space, electronica 2006 will present the entire spectrum of electronics and put the latest trends and developments on exhibit. One of the main attractions will be the automotive, wireless, embedded and micro- and nanotechnology areas and the automotive, wireless and embedded conferences.

LabVIEW: Graphical Programming
I looked at LabVIEW more than a decade ago, and was very impressed, but I put it aside as test and measurement (T&M) was not at the top of my list of things to do. In the meantime, LabVIEW has become a more impressive platform that has moved from its T&M roots into a programming environment suitable for a wider range of applications, including FPGA and embedded programming...
