ETX CPU board compatibility with PC/104 I/O module expansion
This system supports Access I/O's line of USB and PC/104 I/O modules. The motherboard/baseboard is only 120 mm across, and comes with right-angle mounted connectors such as VGA, RS-232, four USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard, and Ethernet. It allows PC/104 I/O module expansion, plus it can use any ETX CPU board. The NANO also comes with supplemental onboard I/O connectors for flat-panel support, IDE, Compact Flash, and an extra RS-232/422/485-selectable serial port. A 12-pin power connector can hook up to any ATX power supply. It can be mounted into various custom chassis, and can work with PC/104 I/O modules stacked in the system as a complete and small data acquisition system, but it can also be a stand-alone computer, or a USB I/O server. It costs $229 for the motherboard alone. OEM and volume pricing are available.

Thanks to embedded electronics, medical devices are getting smaller and smarter than ever. Pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are now able to call physicians. MRIs, CT scanners, and ultrasound machines are gaining mobility. And the venerable Band-Aid may soon be able to detect illnesses ranging from fevers to heart arrhythmias. On February 21, join Design News senior editor Charles Murray for a wide-ranging discussion, "Embedded Angles for Medical Products," which will explore the latest developments in medical electronics. The discussion will examine advances in medical device technology and offer an inside look at the embedded electronics behind it.
