A New Infrastructure For The IoE
By Ernest Worthman - 09 Mar, 2015 - Comments: 0

The IoE is going to change, radically, a number of paradigms. Top among them is exactly how we are going to route the yottabytes of data that will flow between objects of the IoE, which is made more difficult because 70% of that data will not be on the traditional wireless or wired pipeline. To date, lots of attention has been paid to bringing intelligent objects on line to connect everythin... » read more

In the age of increased connectivity, security is a major concern for all of us. Every few weeks seem to bring news of another massive breach, making it impossible not to be wary of the security threats we face every day when paying with our credit or debit cards online or in a store. There are so many examples that I’ve occasionally wondered whether I should go back to cash payments. For now... » read more

The Week In Review: Manufacturing

EUV lithography remains a mixed bag, according to analysts. "We are downgrading shares of ASML to 'Sector Perform' from 'Outperform' as we think shares appear fully valued based on midterm lithography demand and our view that meaningful EUV adoption is still several years out," said Weston Twigg, an analyst with Pacific Crest Securities, in a new report. "We think the reality is that it is not ... » read more

Being connected to everything has its pros and cons. On the plus side, you'll probably have far fewer of those moments when you forget something, can't get in touch with someone, or can't find what you're looking for. On the downside, you'll be in an always-on world, and all the other people you've reached out to can also reach out back to you. This extends well beyond just person-to-person ... » read more

Full Steam Ahead For IoT
By Ed Sperling - 05 Mar, 2015 - Comments: 0

Criticism is rampant about the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"] being partially baked, ill-defined, or just a rehash of old ideas that never got off the drawing board. While there is some basis for that criticism, it really doesn't seem to matter. The semiconductor industry is in full pursuit of what many perceive to be the largest opportunity since the invention of the PC, the pub... » read more

Where The IoT Money Will Be

As we get closer and closer to figuring out what the Internet of Things—or increasingly, the Internet of Everything (IoE)—will and won’t be, one of the themes that shows up regularly is exactly how to monetize it. “A large portion of marketing dollars are wasted when the wrong offers are made to the wrong people at the wrong place and time,” notes Jon Gettinger Sr. vice president o... » read more

Physically Unclonable Functions
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Mar, 2015 - Comments: 0

Physically unclonable functions (PUFs) are emerging as a novel way to protect a variety of ICs. In today’s world of cyber threats, vulnerabilities, insecure networks and hardware, and intrusions, it is finding a renewed interest. The technology on which it is based has been around since the mid-1990s in its present form and the term PUF was cloned in the early 2000s. PUFs find their anc... » read more

Bringing Together The Physical, Digital Worlds
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Mar, 2015 - Comments: 0

With IoT and the Cloud exploding as the next big thing, engineering teams around the world are still scratching their heads as far the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ of this genre that in many cases, leverages a good bit of existing technology reimagined in a new way. Of course, security underpins it all. The ‘what’ is really limitless, and actually, much of the ‘how’ is too given that... » read more
