When medical robotics are used, patients recover faster with less pain and fewer complications. However, medical robotic applicati...

Avionics are under pressure to consolidate onto multi-core systems in order to meet SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power and Cost) objectives. Physical separation and secured federated communication infrastructure is no longer sufficient for secure and safe system development. Certifiably safe avionics on mu...

Cybersecurity threats are becoming increasingly prominent in embedded applications including automotive, medical, industrial, aerospace and defense. Securing these systems has become difficult due to dramatic increases in software complexity, often driven by a multi-tiered supply chain as well as a...

You chose a multi-core processor platform for your next avionics system. Although this gives you a lot of potential benefits in terms of reduced costs, spares management and obsolescence, it also adds a layer of complexity in terms of safety certification.

The rise of connected computing will rewrite vendor relationships, redefine profitability, and re-imagine delivery from environment to cost to product. Today's system designs must last decades. If you are a designer, your challenge is to look beyond today's experience into a future, the future, domi...

The hottest RF and microwave technology in the military radar and electronic community continues to be Gallium Nitride (GaN). The industry is still getting educated on all the possibilities that GaN brings to the design table from a performance standpoint especially in active electronically scanned...

MathWorks and Texas Instruments staff shows how to use Simulink and TI C2000(tm) SafeTI MCUs to develop and verify embedded systems in compliance with the IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 functional safety standards.

Today’s imaging systems are saving lives by making the unseen visible to a degree never before possible. Medical professionals can now view, in high resolution, the systems within the human body so they can diagnose pathological changes and precisely target therapeutic procedures. These imaging tech...

For any military, the key to victory is dominance in multiple battlefield domains -- ground, sea, air, space, and now cyber. To achieve that dominance militaries must leverage communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) technology across those domains.

If you're thinking of deploying a battery or solar operated application or just require very low power for your IoT deployment, this webinar on LTE-M and NB-IoT is for you. Learn the main differences between the cellular LPWAN technologies and the power saving techniques required on both the network...

OTA (Over-The-Air) updates are essential for connected devices. Product defects or security flaws can be quickly patched remotely and new product features added to create new revenue streams. However there is a catch: OTA updates provide a vehicle for malware to reach IoT devices, compromising secur...

Server tech has escaped the data center--with good reason. The emergence of AI and other compute- and bandwidth-intensive applications is creating an urgent need for micro servers that can live at the network edge. Join this webinar to learn how to deploy high-performance analytics right where it's...

In this third session, we dig deeper into system architectures. Integration approach is the key difference between a device-centric architecture like OPC UA and a data-centric architecture like DDS. We will use these two to explore the deep contrast. OPC UA was designed from day one for vendor inde...

From the outside, a medical device very closely resembles any other embedded system--it has a processing element, an operating system, some type of I/O, etc. However, the similarities end there, and the medical device has some constraints that traditional embedded systems do not. Namely, they can ne...

The combination of low-power wide-area (LPWA) technologies with cloud connected IoT open source hardware and software platforms is providing a huge stepping stone for developers building tracking devices. With the commercialization of LTE-M and NB-IoT networks and the wide spread adoption of mangOH(...

The smart machine era will be the most disruptive in history. Medical treatment systems, the power grid, manufacturing lines, process control, and transportation systems work today the same way they did 20 years ago. But in the next few years, clever engineers in every industry will find a way to le...

As R&D budgets are reduced, enabling flexibility and code reuse through the use of common building blocks across the enterprise are keys to greater affordability. These software components need to be modular, upgradeable and customizable to meet the needs of various hardware platforms, but defining...

Security systems are getting smarter every day with many products adding new layers of security. For example, doorbell cameras now offer features like color night vision, two-way audio, customizable motion detection, and more. However, just a few years ago, doorbell cameras didn’t even exist.

As autonomous vehicles evolve from research to prototypes to real cars on the road, functional safety and ISO 26262 have become central topics in the automotive industry. Although the first edition of the standard was released seven years ago, there still are differences in opinions and actual pract...

The beginning of the Industrial Internet of Things was started with smart controllers, sensors, and devices connected on the factory machines, in remote field platforms or in medical equipment. In most cases, each of these "smart things" were capable of a single function, such as control functions,...

Today, electric Utilities across the world are facing tremendous challenges in the way that OT and IT systems interact.
