ARBOR: Android-based patient
infotainment terminal
ARBOR Technology announce the availability
of ARBOR M1860, an 18.5-inch patient info-
tainment terminal based on the TI OMAP
4470 Cortex-A9 CPU, to complement its
growing line-up of patient healthcare products.
With the introduction of the M1860, Android
4.1.1 joins Windows Embedded and Linux as
the available operating systems for ARBOR’s
patient infotainment terminals. This provides
a valuable alternative for customers creating
applications for various healthcare scenarios
where the additional OS option may reduce

Avalue: all-in-one Mini POS
to shake retail world
Avalue Technology is releasing its atten-
tion-grabbing Mini POS, RiPac-10P1, in Q2
2016, bringing a brand new retail solution
to global partners. RiPac-10P1 is an all-in-
one Mini POS featuring a full flat 10.1” main
display, an adjustable 5” customer display, a
built-in NFC reader which is compliant with
RFID/Felica, an integrated thermal printer
with pain-free paper roll load as well as rich
I/O ports to meet the demands for further
connectivity. Despite having these character-
istics of an all-in-one POS, this Mini POS is
only 299 x 316.2 x 148.9mm. These features
and the compact size make Mini POS an opti-
mal choice for use in applications such as hos-
pitality, retail, ticketing, queue management
and places where space is limited.
Axiomtek: 1.3 full-sized SBC supports
6th gen Intel Core processor
Axiomtek introduce the arrival of SHB140, anew
PICMG 1.3 full-sized single board computer
based on the 14nm 6th generation Intel Core
processor in the LGA1151 package with Intel
Q170 Express chipset. The high performance
SHB-based CPU card supports PCI Express
Gen 3.0 with data rates up to 8.0 GT/s and
comes with two DDR4-2133MHz un-buffered
DIMM sockets supporting up to 32 GB. Com-
bined high-bandwidth PCI Express for frame
grabbing and conventional PCI expansion for
motion capture, the Intel Skylake SHB140 is an
optimum solution for machine vision and smart
factory automation applications. This high per-
formance PICMG 1.3 slot SBC also features
an integrated Intel AMT 11 and TPM 1.2 for
higher security and easier maintenance.
Lanner: modular network appliance
features Intel Xeon E3-1200 v5 series
Lanner has unveiled its first Intel Xeon Pro-
cessor E3-1200 v5 Series, based 1U modu-
lar network appliance NCA-5210, featuring
DDR4 memory support and the I/O boosting,
comprehensive Intel C236 Series chipset, and
flexible LAN configurations. Built with Intel’s
next generation 3-D Tri-gate transistors and
the adoption of the E3-1200 v5 series comes
with the promise to enhance processor perfor-
mance, while lowering the TDP. A new socket
type, LGA 1151, has also been released for the
die-shrinking architecture.
Kontron joins Open Invention Network
Kontron has become a community mem-
ber of Open Invention Network (OIN). The
Open Invention Network was founded over
10 years ago by companies like Google, IBM,
NEC, Philips, Red Hat, Sony and SUSE to sup-
port organizations that build or use Linux-re-
lated technology. The cornerstone of OIN is
a community of around 2000 companies and
projects that fosters patent-aggression in the
Linux System “no fly zone”. Every company in
the OIN community pledges not to use Linux
System patents aggressively against each other.
This pledge acts as the starting point for a
cultural norm for patent non-aggressions in
Linux and adjacent open source technologies.
Axiomtek: din-rail field controller
simplifies IIoT application deployment
Axiomtek has released ICO310, the indus-
try’s first field controller with PoE PD func-
tion. The ICO310, a robust din-rail Industrial
IoT embedded system, supports low power
Braswell Intel Celeron processor N3060 1.6
GHz dual-core or N3160 1.6 GHz quad-core
with up to 8GB DDR3L system memory,
delivering high performance and low power
consumption at competitive price. The out-
standing Braswell based embedded field con-
troller offers complete expandability and full
featured I/O, including two Gigabit LAN
ports, two RS-232/422/485 ports, two USB
2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, one VGA port,
and one DIO interface. Two PCI Express Mini
Card slots, one SIM card slot and three inter-
nal antennas are available for 3G/GPRS and
Wi-Fi connections.
acceed: compact modbus
module for smart metering
Smart Metering, also known as “Intelligent
Metering“, is playing an increasingly import-
ant role in small and medium-sized applica-
tions. One example of this is consumption
data recording in all sizes of residential com-
plexes, commercial buildings and other com-
mercial properties. Here, the Smart Metering
is either integrated in the central building
technology or it provides the measurement
data to administration bodies or billing cen-
tres via the Internet as a standalone solution.
In accordance with its nature, one of the core
tasks of Smart Metering is naturally data
acquisition and subsequent data transfer.

Pixus: double rail extrusions
for rugged subracks
Pixus Technologies now offers double rail
extrusions with dual mounting. The rails
provide the modular framework for electron-
ics enclosures and feature mounting holes for
a second screw, providing more stability and
strength for a modular enclosure. The rails
have been tested and used in German railway
applications for high resistance to shock/vibra-
tion and the ability to handle extreme loads.
The extruded aluminum rails come in front
and rear versions and with various interfaces
Hitex: TESSY V4.0 with full C++ support
The new major version 4.0 of TESSY, the tool
for automated unit / module / integration
testing of embedded software, now provides
support for the test of test objects written in
the C++ programming language. TESSY is
able to automatically create stub functions
for called methods and can also test templates
and derived classes. This offers a comparable
comfort for the test of software written in C++
as for software written in C.
