IMEC aims to develop a reproducible process for high-efficiency organic solar cells using Plextronics' Plexcore® branded materials and inks, which have demonstrated world-record efficiencies as high as 5.9%, according to recent testing at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Colorado. In the first phase, IMEC will investigate Plexcore® OS, which is a regioregular poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) polymer with a high absorption coefficient close to the maximum photon flux in the solar spectrum and high mobility. Future research will include evaluation of other Plexcore® materials and inks, using deposition techniques such as screen and inkjet printing and spray coating on large-area substrates...

JetNet 4506-M12 is constructed of a rugged weather tight aluminum case and designed with six IP68 rated M12 Ethernet ports, which provide a waterproof, and dust-tight connection. For maximum performance, each switch includes the next generation of redundancy protocol, Rapid Super Ring. This feature allows for the configuration of any two ports for extra protection against link failure and data loss due to constant vibration and heavy shock. The JetNet 4506-M12 also includes other management features, such as port-based VLAN, QoS, IGMP snooping, SNMP and DHCP, for traffic isolation, deterministic transmission and network management...

The cJTAG - IEEE 1149.7 IP core, provided by IPextreme, is a configurable, ready-to-integrate semiconductor IP solution supporting all six classes of the IEEE 1149.7 standard. The IEEE 1149.7 test and debug technology will allow the electronics industry to extend IEEE 1149.1 capabilities while also providing increased functionality to their embedded designs. IEEE 1149.7 offers a scalable set of extensions to IEEE 1149.1 that ensures interoperability between IEEE 1149.1- and IEEE 1149.7-based devices and test equipment..

The Kontron AM4011 AdvancedMC[tm] processor module is available with the LV Intel® Core[tm] 2 Duo processor representing substantial processing power and maximum MIPS per Watt for both AdvancedTCA® and MicroTCA[tm] system designs. Kontron AM4011 may be used as a main controller, data server, traffic processor or media processor in any single-width MicroTCA[tm] platform deployed for applications in the 3GSM, triple play, military, police, government, defense, transportation and avionics market segments. The Kontron AM4011 AdvancedMC[tm] processor module is highly integrated and available in both mid-size and full-size form factors. It also includes up to 4 GB of memory (DDR2) with ECC running at 400 MHz, plus up to 8 GB of Flash memory via an onboard USB 2...
