E-Mobility: Navigate Safety, Interoperability, And Conformance

By Keysight - 26 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Although the concept of electric vehicles (EV) has been around for a while, the EV and EV supply equipment (EVSE) markets are not well-regulated or fully operational. This presents several challenges for EV and EVSE manufacturers throughout the e-mobility ecosystem. Safety, interoperability, and conformance are important criteria for enabling e-mobility, and Keysight is ready to help. Read this... » read more

Using Formal To Verify Safety-Critical Hardware For ISO 26262

By OneSpin Solutions - 02 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Automotive technology has come a long way since the days of the Ford Model T. Today's smart vehicles not only assist their drivers with tasks such as parking, lane management, and braking, but also function as a home away from home, with WiFi hotspots and sophisticated entertainment systems. These sophisticated features are made possible by increasingly complex electronic systems—systems that... » read more

Shifting the Burden of Tool Safety Compliance from Users to Vendor

By OneSpin Solutions - 30 Jan, 2019 - Comments: 0

The security, safety and performances of autonomous vehicles, railways, aerospace, nuclear power plants and medical devices rely on electronic systems and their hardware components. Engineers use advanced software tools to develop complex hardware. Tools may malfunction, generate erroneous output and ultimately introduce or fail to detect systematic hardware faults that could cause hazardous ev... » read more

ISO26262: The Case for Embedded Analytics in Automotive (updated: V.4.0)

By UltraSoC - 26 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

From advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to a new generation of robots and medical systems, we are seeing an explosion in the development of cyber-physical systems. Because these systems use advanced software to interact with the physical world, safety is a paramount issue but one that is reflected in many industries by the use of safety standards based on a philosophy of risk assessme... » read more

System Bits: Oct. 22

By Ann Mutschler - 22 Oct, 2013 - Comments: 0

Untangled nanotubes Carbon nanotubes are lightweight, strong and conduct electricity, which make them ideal components in new electronics devices, such as tablet computers and touchscreen phones, but cannot be used without being separated out from their natural tangled state. Researchers from Imperial College London have developed a way to unravel and apply carbon nanotubes in the laboratory a... » read more
