Unmanned aircraft, drones, remotely-piloted aircraft, or whatever one chooses to call them are increasing in number and often staying ahead of the regulatory bodies tasked with setting their safety standards. Compliance with FAA safety certification standards such as DO-178 B and C for software and...

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, engineers in every industry will find a way to leverage t...

Designers of embedded computing systems for military applications such as avionics, electronic warfare, radar, etc., love the advantages modern processors and FPGAs bring them but continue to need innovative ways to deal with the extra heat these components bring with them especially in small form f...

Like any system, your IoT system needs constant tweaking and/or incremental improvements. That’s best using built-in analytics and feedback loops. Join us as experts in IoT discuss this technology for continuous improvement of IoT systems in a host of industries and applications.

From active safety to infotainment, in-vehicle HMIs are now tasked with conveying information that keeps occupants both comfortable and out of harm's way. However, the convergence of systems within modern automobiles now sees safety-critical functions often operating alongside non-critical features,...

A demand for commonality is driving procurement and technology development within the Department of Defense (DoD). Commonality is enabled by open architectures and technology reuse across multiple platforms -- from radar to electronic warfare to ISR sensors. The cost benefits of commonality happen n...

As automobiles are increasingly connected to the internet and to other systems, they can be commandeered and rendered dangerous. The problem is complex and today's point-solutions leave a "hackable" system. In this webinar, we will outline BlackBerry's 7-Pillar recommendation to harden automotive el...

Embedded systems security is critical in the detection and prevention of security breaches in larger IoT systems. System vulnerabilities are often a result of unexpected system architecture or service connectivity where device vulnerability leads to breach of financial or corporate servers. Join us...

The panelists on this engineering roundtable discussion will present technical, performance and design considerations when selecting GaN or SiC instead of traditional silicon-based solutions for specific power conversion needs. Both device structures and optimized converter topologies (including dri...

The "connected car" has evolved from automobiles with basic Internet access capabilities to vehicles that are part of the very network fabric. Today's connected car requires bi-directional communications with other vehicles, nearby infrastructure, and the cloud to enable advanced safety, optimum eff...

Monitoring energy and power can be useful for many reasons. Beyond power management for power and energy savings, changes in energy usage can point to changes in a system that need to be addressed, such as higher than expected energy usage due to a software update or component failure.

As mainstream consumers become more connected, they expect the devices they use to interoperate, bringing a collective "awareness" that adds value to their day-to-day activities. To meet these expectations, product developers increasingly require robust, scalable software solutions capable of supp...

The Mini Modular Rack Principle (MiniMRP), standardized in ARINC 836, is a design and modular component solution for avionics systems that distributes avionics throughout the aircraft in smaller, lighter package configurations -- reducing avionics packaging space up to 40%!

Adding a modern graphic/touch Human Machine Interface (HMI) to your industrial, commercial, or medical product can be a simple, yet extremely effective upgrade. Avoid the myriad pitfalls in this complex endeavor, including the supply chain challenges, technology selection, longevity concerns, scalab...

Processor, board, and programming advancements are requiring a new set of tools and frameworks in order to effectively develop embedded and IoT applications. Multi-core processors and symmetric multiprocessor software create challenges in ensuring code correctness and reliability. Security concerns...

Drones, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), or whatever you wish to call them are everywhere. Your neighbor probably has one. But, are they safe enough to share the airspace with manned aircraft like commercial passenger platforms and even small business jets? Not reall...

Teams today are expected to ship faster, with fewer resources, yet comply with extremely tough compliance standards and regulations....all while developing software that is secure, safe, and reliable. Consumers expect more, businesses demand more...and the teams responsible are searching for soluti...

As SDRs are increasingly being used in remotely deployed applications, a critical gap has emerged in how a remote operator of a Software Defined Radio can ensure the device is functioning and has not exceeded critical operational and environmental parameters. With this gap in mind, new tools are bei...

Certification standards bodies on both sides of the Atlantic are becoming more open to certifying commercial-­-off-­-the-­-shelf (COTS) hardware and software as designers of these systems show evidence Design Assurance Level (DAL) A in their solutions. These developments are enabled by standards suc...

With each passing day, we find a new market or application where the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are going to redefine life as we know it - from our methods of transportation, to how we purchase goods, to the way energy is transmitted...

Electronic circuit simulation can be very effective in testing a design under different operating conditions. This can help to make shorter and more efficient design cycles resulting in faster transitions from prototype to market. Simulations can also help to prevent hardware damage due to fatal des...
