New features in the core translators include support for Verilog 2001 style "port" and "signal" declarations, plus support for the Verilog 2001 "signed" keyword. The tool is also now able to translate code automatically in several cases that previously required manually pre-editing for a successful translation. The typical translation design flow involves an iterative cycle where the user must make some manual changes to either the original or the generated code. To speed up this flow, SynaptiCAD has introduced an optional graphical debugging front-end based on its BugHunter Pro HDL Debugger tool...

The Distributed System Interface (DSI) protocol, the leading automotive safety bus, was pioneered by Freescale and TRW. The DSI protocol supports point-to-point, parallel and daisy chain networks. DSI has been adopted by the world's leading manufacturers of supplemental restraint system (SRS) airbags, including TRW and DENSO Corporation. DSI-compliant products have been in production for many years. The DSI safety bus helps airbag manufacturers reduce costs and speed time to market through an open, stable and well adopted safety bus standard. Freescale latest DSI-based products are designed to help reduce the vehicle maker's cost of adding more sensors to the car's airbag system, while offering exceptional EMI performance and fault tolerance...

The Video Distribution System from Curtiss Wright is ideal for ship-wide naval distribution systems, local situational awareness systems, airborne distribution systems and simulation systems. The VDS digital distribution systems provide all the elements required for high-performance video distribution over IP networks. These systems allow video from any source to be captured, compressed and distributed to any display or recording station over local or wide area networks. VDS allows the transmission of multiple video streams by using JPEG2000 or MPEG compression techniques over standard GbE connections, providing the flexibility to distribute video to match quality and bandwidth requirements...
