Cincoze: sunlight readable Panel PC and
touch monitor for outdoor applications
Cincoze to announce sunlight readable panel
PC and touch monitor “CS-100 Series”. The
product series incorporates an ultra high
brightness backlight module up to 1,600 nits
which provides superior readability under a
high-ambient light condition and even direct
sunlight. CS-100 Series also supports wide
range operating temperature (max. range:
-20°C ~ 70°C) to ensure stability and reliability
of the system in outdoor environments. Built
with solid aluminum die-casting front bezel,
true flat IP65 front panel protection and 7H
anti-scratch projected capacitive touchscreen
make it ideal for installation in harsh environ-
ments. Without compromising rugged func-
tionality, CS-100 Series still keep slim-type
design and provide the same look and feel
within Cincoze display computing solution.

tecture with ARM Cortex-A7 core and ARM
Cortex-M4 core.
Trinamic: breakout boards shorten time
to market
Time is a precious resource. Especially with
technology, it’s important to drive the indus-
try by reducing your time to market. That’s
why Trinamic is rolling out open source BOBs
for their chips transforming digital infor-
mation into physical motion. From now on,
one single, easy to use electrical component
is everything needed for rapid prototyping –
you no longer have to worry about building
a final design or soldering SMD components
before testing a prototype. The BOBs can be
used on a breadboard or with flying wires,
as all sensitive signals such as sense lines are
routed on the BOBs themselves.
IBASE: AMD Ryzen and AMD EPYC
embedded processor-based solutions
IBASE Technology launched a series of new
AMD Ryzen Embedded and EPYC Embed-
ded processor-based products, including
