By Ed Sperling - 20 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 1

The mad rush has begun to hype the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"], but the path forward isn't quite as straightforward as the marketers would like it to be. ICs used at the edge of the IoT—the ones that gather information to be controlled by smart phones or tablets and transmitted to devices for processing and data analytics—need to be designed differently than the initial for... » read more

Time To Talk About Security
By Ed Sperling - 10 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

One of the common refrains about the IoT is that it opens up a whole bunch of new security issues that no one has dealt with in the past. The problem is that aside from complaining about it, most companies aren't actually sharing information because they consider it either a proprietary advantage or a tip-off to thieves. The thieves, on the other hand, have no problems sharing information ab... » read more

The Future Of Medical Device Certification: Greater Scrutiny And More Validation
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 02 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

Given the critical nature of the functions performed by today’s medical devices, greater scrutiny along with the need for more certifiable software is on this rise. There is more interest today in government standards such as FDA 510K and IEC 62304 for medical device software. Enhanced scrutiny from government agencies can introduce unexpected delays – or even jeopardize the commercial rele... » read more
