The Great IoE Race Begins
By Ed Sperling - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

Nobody knows how many tens of billions of semiconductors will be used in the IoE, but it's a sure bet it won't be a few chips replicated billions of times. Most IoE devices will need to be customized for specific applications. Many will need to be highly reliable for many years. And all of them will need to be secure and power-efficient. Yet they also will need to connect to heterogeneous ne... » read more

Making Cars Smarter
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 1

The fuel injection control unit has come a long way since 1983 when Ford Motor Co. first included a 16-bit Intel microcontroller-based fuel injection system in its 4-cylinder Escort. Today, some high end vehicles contain more than 100 microprocessors, which is mind boggling in comparison to that Escort that contained just one. To be sure, the automotive industry is a unique animal. Compared ... » read more

Inside Mesh Networks
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

Mesh networks could revolutionize communications in the future. Independent of the Internet we know today, wireless mesh networks (WMN) allow both ad-hoc and fixed wireless “nodes” to form a communications net that can become a very powerful information sharing hub. The idea is that all devices, both user-controlled and autonomous, would be open to act as relay points for the transmissio... » read more

Things You Can Control While Sleeping
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

Because the IoE is just a rather vague and fluid concept right now, it is easy for just about anyone to define all or part of it in almost any fashion they desire. But some things do have a basis. For example, if you take a look at the consumer trends, as has been the case for years, you can glimpse what is happening in various segments throughout the IoE and, to some degree, where they are hea... » read more

What Markets And Winners Will IoT Produce?
By Brian Derrick - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

IoT is trending. However, a consistent definition of IoT can be tough to find in the deluge of marketing, which often overlooks the fact that Internet-connected devices have been around for decades. Many established tech companies have developed and deployed a wide variety of products, both building out the IoT and beginning to define it. Intel in particular has published a slew of excellent vi... » read more

A Semiconductor Approach To Desalination
By Jim Hogan - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

By Bernard Murphy and Jim Hogan We’re not offering breaking news when we observe that the semiconductor industry is in flux. Major consolidations and lack of funding for startups point to an industry that, outside China, is maturing and seems to have lost the recipe for rapid growth. Apologists will argue that analog or MEMS or some other domains are still strong, but this misses the point... » read more

Drive, Fix, Park
By Alex Tan - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

Autonomous cars are coming. So are cars that can fix themselves. And this is just the beginning. The idea of a connected car is all about making data available, both within the car and with the external world. Car manufacturers will be able to improve automobile quality by getting real-time data from individual vehicles and providing corrective updates when problems are identified. In additi... » read more

Emerging IoT Applications Require Careful Consideration
By Charlie Cheng - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 1

The Internet of Things (IoT) is creating opportunities in the existing space held by traditional semiconductor applications, typically falling into categories that include industrial, fitness, health and lifestyle to apparel, safety and productivity. But there also are new, inventive devices. In the last several months, we’ve seen the launch of a canine Fitbit, a hybrid dog collar, and dyn... » read more

The Automotive V-Cycle
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

During the research for my article on making cars smarter, I learned from Andrew Patterson at [getentity id="22017" e_name="Mentor Graphics"] that when it comes to the [getkc id="10" kc_name="verification"] side, one well-established practice in the automotive industry is the use of the V-Cycle design methodology (also known as the V-Model) and that carmakers tend to follow that. He explain... » read more

The Cloud, The IoE, And You
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

If you’re anywhere in the high-tech biz, the two terms that are rocking your world are the Internet of Everything and the Cloud. Whether you are on the inside track of these, or on the sidelines, they are going to be two of the most disruptive technologies of the 21st century. The cloud is already here and gaining momentum. Some people will argue that the cloud has been here since the ince... » read more
