Xilinx Programmable Solutions Handheld Test Signal Analyzer

Xilinx, Inc. has announced that Phabrix Limited has leveraged Xilinx programmable solutions to the handheld 3G-SDI test signal analyzers. The multi-format instrument, recipient of the prestigious IABM Peter Wayne award, is the first portable test signal analyzer to support standard definition (SD), high definition (HD) and emerging 3G serial digital interface (SDI) standards. The Phabrix design team leveraged the integrated features of Xilinx Spartan-3A field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and CoolRunner-II complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) to integrate audio and video functionality with rugged reliability into their latest award-winning generators, analyzers and monitors. The Phabrix SxA product was recently announced as the winner in one of the broadcast industry’s most coveted award competitions – The IABM Technology Peter W

Programmable Genetic Clock Made Of Blinking Florescent Proteins Inside Bacteria Cells

UC San Diego bioengineers have created the first stable, fast and programmable genetic clock that reliably keeps time by the blinking of fluorescent proteins inside E. coli cells. The clock's blink rate changes when the temperature, energy source or other environmental conditions change, a fact that could lead to new kinds of sensors that convey information about the environment through the blinking rate.

The MechRC Megatron-esque robot

November 11, 2008 Is this Megatron's love-child? The MechRC is a programmable, remote controlled robot with 17 independently controllable servos (points of articulation), each capable of up to 180 degrees of movement. This provides the bot with an extremely wide range of actions – and the database of 100 pre-programmed motions and sound can be expanded by using the included software to create new manoeuvres.

Introduction to robot simulation

To comply with increasing levels of competition industrial companies use flexible automated integrated production systems more and more. Programmable machines such as robots, cnc-machines and plc's are a natural part of any automated production system (Computer Integrated Manufacturing and Engineering system, CIME).

A Replica of the First 4004 Calculator

mcpublic writes "For the 37th anniversary of Intel's 4004, the world's first off-the-shelf, customer-programmable microprocessor, vintage computer enthusiast Bill Kotaska has successfully built a replica of Busicom's historic 141-PF printing calculator using vintage Intel chips. Decades before the ubiquitous 'Intel inside' sticker, Japanese calculator maker Busicom introduced the first product ever built around an Intel microprocessor. Bill's homebrew replica includes a rare Shinshu Seiki Model-102 drum printer and runs firmware extracted from the original Busicom ROMs. Schematics and photos of his re-creation are available at the unofficial 4004 web site, along with Tim McNerney's new PIC-based emulator of the Model-102 printer. The site includes the Busicom 'source code,' 4004 details, interactive simulators, and other goodies for stude

The gripping potential of DNA nanotechnology

(Nanowerk Spotlight) DNA, the fundamental building block of our genetic makeup, has become an intense nanotechnology research field. DNA molecules can serve as precisely controllable and programmable scaffolds for organizing functional nanomaterials in the design, fabrication, and characterization of nanometer scale electronic devices and sensors. The reason why DNA could be useful in nanotechnology for the design of electric circuits is the fact that it actually is the best nanowire in existence – it self-assembles, it self-replicates and it can adopt various states and conformations (see: DNA electronics in nanotechnology or The long road to molecular electronics could be paved with DNA). Then of course there is a rich body of work on DNA use in nanorobotics such as Ned Seeman's work at NYU (see: Nanorobotic arm to operate within DNA

NVIDIA Makes First 4GB Graphics Card

Frogger writes to tell us that NVIDIA has released what they are calling the most powerful graphics card in history. With 4GB of graphics memory and 240 CUDA-programmable parallel cores this monster sure packs a punch, although with a $3,500 price tag it certainly should. Big-spenders can rejoice at a new shiny, and the rest of us can be happy with the inevitable price shift in the more reasonable models.

Mobile Phones, Video Game Controllers, Medical Devices, Industrial Sensing Driving MEMS Industry

PITTSBURGH, PA, Dec 02 (MARKET WIRE) -- According to Roger Meike, director of Sun Microsystems Labs' Project Sun SPOT, "the next cool thing" could combine MEMS accelerometers, light and temperature sensors in new classes of applications that interact with the real world. Should the next generation of inventors use the Java-based Project Sun SPOT (Small Programmable Object Technology) to build those devices, so much the better, said Meike to attendees of MEMS Executive Congress(R), held November 5-7 in Monterey, CA. Noting Yole Developpement's MEMS market projections for 2012, director of Nokia Research Center's Cambridge, UK laboratory, Dr. Tapani Ryhaenen, asked whether surging demand for mobile devices is largely responsible for projected growth in accelerometers, radio frequency (RF) MEMS and silicon microphones.
