We are delighted to join Robotics Trends and international robotics community at the RoboDevelopment Conference and Exposition. As the first technical event for the robotics industry that is focused on the design and development of commercial mobile robots and intelligent systems products, the RoboDevelopment event provides Hanson with a great opportunity to demonstrate our robots and robotic technology to the robotics community and the world at large. - David Hanson, Hanson Robotics. Robotics Trends and EH Publishing announced that Hanson Robotics has joined the RoboDevelopment Conference and Exposition as a sponsor and that Hanson Robotics will demonstrate their groundbreaking new Zeno humanoid robot at a Robotics Networking Reception. The RoboDevelopment Conference and Exposition, which takes place at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, California Oct...

The S3200 standard will sustain the position of IEEE 1394 as the absolute performance leader in multi-purpose I/O ports for consumer applications in computer and CE devices. There is a very clear migration path from 800 Megabits/second to 3.2 Gigabits/second, with no need for modifications to the standard and no requirement for new cables or connectors - said James Snider, executive director, 1394 Trade Association. The 1394 Trade Association announced a new specification to quadruple the speed of FireWire to reach 3.2 gigabits per second. The new electrical specification, known as S3200, builds upon the IEEE 1394b standard, preserving all the advantages of FireWire while offering a major and unprecedented boost in performance...

Artisan Studio provides comprehensive support for the leading industry standards, including OMG SysML, UML and Architectural Frameworks, in a single tool suite. It delivers on the promise of an integrated collaborative development environment - allowing systems and software engineering teams to work as one – for the whole project life-cycle from conception through to implementation and maintenance. Artisan® Software Tools, the leading independent developer of premium-quality, industrial-grade, collaborative modeling tools for complex, mission-critical embedded systems and software, will preview the upcoming Version 7.0 of Artisan Studio®, its all-in-one standards-based development tool suite, at Embedded World 2008 (Hall 10, Stand 408)...

The improved ruggedness is achieved by the recently developed UMOS-2R process, an enhancement of NEC Electronics' UMOS-2 trench process with a 0.5-micron design rule. This process results in a maximum repetitive avalanche energy rating of 1000 megajoules(mJ)and supports a maximum channel temperature of 200 degrees Celsius. Typical values for RDS(on) range from 2.9 milliohms (m?)to 5.8 m? and from 5500 picofarads(pF)to 9500 pF for Ciss. Gleichmann Electronics expands its product portfolio of low-voltage power management devices with 24 new extremely robust power MOSFETs from NEC Electronics. The new devices, which are part of the NP series, feature 40-volt (V) and 55V VDSS (voltage drain source short) ratings, two ID (drain current) (DC) ratings of 90 and 100 amperes and logic-/non-logic-type gate drives...
