Engineers looking to embed secure WiFi networking capabilities into their devices can get a turnkey solution — from a programmable, dedicated co-processor to a full TCP/IP stack and Windows development software — with MatchPort b/g Pro/MPP3002000G-01 from Lantronix Inc. MatchPort b/g Pro manages wireless connectivity and Web services, allowing engineers to network-enable devices like medical equipment or access command panels, for example, simply by embedding the co-processor into their designs. Because the package is turnkey, engineers don't need extensive knowledge in wireless device drivers, configuration or wireless chip sets, allowing them to spend more time on their core competencies while minimizing engineering risk and increasing time to market.

XLV-100
Have a need to showcase large assembly CAD models or simulations to a group and don't want to invest in costly plasma or LED displays? AccelerOptics LLC's XLV-100 digital display is engineered to deliver plasma-like performance in brightly lit public spaces using front projection technology. The 100-inch digital display weighs in at 65 lb, making it more lightweight than most 100-inch plasma displays, which are closer to 500 lb. The multi-patented, micro-structured surface rejects ambient light (reducing glare) while capturing and redistributing the projected light to a defined viewing area in order to create a digital image with superior contrast, officials say.
Inforbix is leveraging its CAD and product data access technology to power up a free iPad app that lets mobile users search and access engineering data.
Unlike his friends in engineering programs, blogger Jon Titus had little need for calculus except in a few of his college physical-chemistry labs and classes.
In the wake of the Chevy Volt fire investigations, sales are down, and General Motors' (GM) CEO Dan Akerson is blaming the downturn on a spate of bad publicity.
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.
