Trouble Spots And Optimism For 2015
By Ed Sperling - 18 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

Most top executives in the semiconductor industry are bullish about 2015 and even beyond, particularly as the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"] begins to drive new markets and market mash-ups, and as more semiconductors find their way into markets such as automotive, health-care and manufacturing. But it's not an entirely rosy picture, and top executives point to potential trouble sp... » read more

IoT’s Potential In Japan
By Joanne Itow - 11 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

Going to Semicon Japan was a real treat this year. The event was held at a new location, the weather was sunny, and the exhibits/presentations were engaging. During my walks around the exhibit floor I was drawn to the metrology and material characterization tools. Those booths seemed to have the most interesting information to share. Talking with companies like Rigaku provided insight into the ... » read more

Who Left The Door Open?

The list of smart gadgets coming our way is mind-boggling. It's also frightening. These devices are really slick and potentially very useful. It's great that a thermostat can determine if you're home so you don't have to worry about it, just as it's great to be able to vacuum your home when your not there. And it's nice to be able to schedule a meal that will be on the table when you get hom... » read more

What’s Holding Back The IoT
By Ernest Worthman - 09 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 2

There is a new generation of heterogeneous devices and component modules being developed for the IoT. This, in turn, could create an exploding market within certain sectors of the hardware industry. Exact size predictions for this market vary greatly, but all of the firms making these predictions agree on one thing—it's going to be very big. A new report by Yole Developpement pegs the mar... » read more

Short-Range, Low-Power Sensors
By Ernest Worthman - 09 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 1

Over the last 10 years the world has done a remarkably good job of connecting the global wireless world. This is partly because of visionaries, partly because of marketers, and partly just because we can, but mostly because of convenience. We now never need be to be off the wide-area interconnected highway. The last decade has radically changed the way we live. The smartphone and its cousin, th... » read more

The Next Level Of Chip Security
By Ernest Worthman - 09 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

As we move to that magic year, 2020, which is commonly being recognized as the year when the IoT is supposed to be in full bloom, the security issues just keep coming. The rate of cyber exploits continue to ramp up daily. Yet there seems to be just as much complacency about the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"] as there is about the Internet of today. It seems we are becoming desensi... » read more

Smarter Cars, But How Smart?
By Ernest Worthman - 09 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

With the emergence of the Internet of Things, smart cars are beginning to garner more attention — the kind that comes with real R&D dollars, market development plans and cost analyses for future commercialization. Smart cars are different than connected cars, which are simply smartphones on wheels. Until now, the focus on intelligence in automobiles has largely been on driver assist and in... » read more

Personal Security In The IoT
By Ann Mutschler - 09 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

I have to admit that in some regards, the Internet of Things concerns me…and not necessarily in a good way. Yes, I appreciate how convenient it will be when my refrigerator automatically orders my groceries when I get low on something, manages the electricity usage in my home, not to mention monitoring all of my bodily functions (ok, that might be an exaggeration), but are we stopping to ask ... » read more
