February 22nd, 2018 By Lynnette Reese, Editor-in-Chief, Embedded Intel® Solutions Certain technologies are key to customizing passengers’ experiences. Considering the price of modern cars, it’s not unreasonable to expect an in-vehicle digital experience that works as well as one’s smartphone. However, the design life cycle for automobiles extends over several years, and many manufacturers in […]

January 18th, 2018 By Lynnette Reese, Editor-in-Chief, Embedded Systems Engineering VMEBus has been around for decades. Although VME is not growing exponentially, it’s holding ground. Who is still buying VME, and why? One oft-heard question from customers in the market, in general: “Is VME dead?” The VME bus has been around for decades, and VPX […]

January 16th, 2018 By Lynnette Reese, Editor-in-Chief, Embedded Systems Engineering Open standard technologies could be integral to a proposed new space-based missile defense sensor technology According to Bloomberg’s September 2017 article How Would the U.S. Defend Against a North Korean Nuclear Attack, testing interceptors costs roughly $244 million each time. In all of this, decoys […]

January 5th, 2018 By Lynnette Reese, Editor-in-Chief, Embedded Systems Engineering Why HUD system imagery and drivers stand to gain Editor’s Note: Automotive Head-Up Displays (HUDs) enable drivers to see critical information in front of their eyes so they no longer need to glance down. Augmented Reality (AR) is coming to automotive HUDs using technology that’s […]

January 4th, 2018 By Lynnette Reese, Editor-in-Chief, Embedded Systems Engineering Researchers continue to innovate with MEMS. But will low cost sensors demanded by IoT drive MEMS off of silicon substrates? What’s next? This article is adapted from the presentation “Emerging MEMS & Sensors Technologies to Watch” presented by Alissa Fitzgerald of AMFitzgerald & Associates on […]

December 5th, 2017 By Lynnette Reese, Editor-in-Chief, Embedded Systems Engineering What minimizes lag that leads to VR “motion sickness,” explains why your store coupon app requires use of your smartphone’s accelerometer, and keeps fitness trackers and cars on track even when GPS fails? Good Virtual Reality (VR) is an immersive experience, a simulated world with […]

November 22nd, 2017 By Lynnette Reese, Editor-in-Chief, Embedded Intel Solutions We have seen Intel® transform from a PC-centric company into a data-centric company, with quotes like “Data is the new oil” coming from Intel CEO Brian Krzanich. The statement has been widely quoted by CEOs and major business magazines, but one of the earliest citations […]

November 29th, 2017 By Lynnette Reese, Editor-in-Chief, Embedded Systems Engineering Machine learning (ML) execution and inferences are being pushed into so-called “edge” devices, which includes smartphones. Deloitte Global thinks that 300 million smartphones sold in 2017 have on-board ML.[1] The migration of intelligence to the edge is necessary to process data close to the source […]

November 2nd, 2017 By Lynnette Reese, Editor-in-Chief, Embedded Systems Engineering An Interview with Jem Davies, Arm Fellow and Arm’s new VP of Machine Learning. Arm has established a new Machine Learning (ML) group. Putting this within context, machine learning is a subset of AI, and deep learning is a subset of ML. Neural networks are […]

October 27th, 2017 By Lynnette Reese, Editor-in-Chief, Embedded Systems Engineering The defense industry is all about boosting the performance of personnel, platforms, and systems for the battlefield. Military areas of interest encompass electronics, including virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR), artificial intelligence (AI), remote sensing, unmanned systems, machine learning, data analytics, and the Internet […]
