Frost & Sullivan bring analysis  Advances in Machine Vision Systems, finds that machine vision systems are becoming critical to the emerging requirements of industrial automation and robotics. These systems add a new dimension to statistical quality control principles and process control systems. In addition, advancements in semiconductors and reductions in computing costs have provided an impetus to the deployment of machine vision systems. Frost & Sullivan, the Growth Consulting Company, partners with clients to accelerate their growth...

eSilicon Corporation, a pioneering semiconductor Value Chain Producer (VCP), announced it has adopted IC implementation software from Magma Design Automation for its production-ready 65-nm design methodology. A key aspect of the eSilicon 65-nm design flow is built-in support for design for manufacturability (DFM). "As a leading provider of design software, Magma continues to enhance its capabilities with each new process node, enabling users to easily migrate to the next generation of manufacturing technologies," said Prasad Subramaniam, vice president of Design Technology for eSilicon. "By integrating Magma's low-power design capabilities and model-based DFM tools into the production-ready eSilicon 65-nm design flow, we are able to optimize a leading foundry's 65-nm technologies and offer our customers a robust methodology for their designs...

Oki Electric Industry Company Limited and Fujitsu Limited announced their collaboration in developing next-generation ATM (Automated Teller Machine) software. The companies have completed development of a prototype of the software using a Web-based architecture. The product will be released in Japan during fiscal 2008, beginning next April, and the companies plan to sign up 200 customers over the initial three-year period.   Envisioning ATMs for a ubiquitous network society, OKI and Fujitsu have incorporated into the next-generation ATM software a host of new functions that will enable the timely provision of next-generation services to ATM users...
