Decade of development behind simulation software
AWR has released V11 Analyst-MP - multiphysics finite element method (FEM) electromagnetic (EM) analysis software. It is an application-specific product offering that leverages the capabilities within the Analyst 3D FEM EM simulation and analysis software while targeting big, multiphysics applications like particle accelerators.
Analyzing power integrity issues from power plane interactions
In this newly published paper, CST explores the potential power integrity issues within printed circuit board systems. When a PCB includes a power plane that is near to signal traces or other power planes, there is a significant risk of energy transfer between parts of the system.
Smart set-up tool simplifies and speeds installation
Simplifying and speeding the set up of its single/dual PCT and multi-touch MPCT touchscreen solutions, Zytronic unveil a new user-friendly software package. ZyConfig, the new smart set-up tool introduces a simple to follow sequential approach which walks the touchscreen integrator through the installation process step by step. Ensuring optimal performance from the outset, this helps to prevent time-consuming errors and support calls.

Securing the Internet of Things
Traditional network and endpoint protection mechanisms are struggling today to protect our corporate IT infrastructure and computers. Adding the projected billions of nodes that will constitute the Internet of Things exacerbate the problem dramatically. By John Blevins, Director of Product Marketing, LynuxWorks.
Choosing the right Road TO Success
Selecting a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) begins with an appreciation of its benefits, fundamental features and basic taxonomy; the cost incurred even when selecting a no-cost option. Daniel Stegeran, Technical Solutions Manager for Future Electronics (Romania), discusses in detail in this article from ES Design magazine.
The perfect pyramid of automation
A new interpretation of an old solution to understanding the architecture of control systems puts SCADA at its heart, to allow better control and decrease the cost of maintenance by storing and managing all data in a single control room. By Marco Zampolli, HMI Product Sales Manager for Advantech, & Maurice van der Aa, Industrial PC Product Sales Manager, for Advantech.
