tex86DX3 processor. The PEM-E205 ETX
module delivers optimized value and ser-
vice levels by running multiple applications
securely and reliably on virtualization-opti-
mized platforms. Alongside of energy effi-
ciency and legacy-interface support, the
PEM-E205 is designed with powerful 32-bit
multi-core processor technology and pro-
grammable GPU compatible with Microsoft
Windows-based, Linux and many other pop-
ular 32-bit RTOS.
Maplesoft: Maple 2016 offers
advanced problem-solving for
math, science, engineering
Maplesoft announced a major new release of
Maple, the mathematical software that makes
it extremely easy to analyze, explore, visualize,
and solve math problems. With Maple 2016,
Maplesoft offers important new abilities to
educators, researchers, scientists, and engi-
neers that allow them to solve more problems,
more easily, than ever before.
Advantech: 18.5” multi-touch
open frame touch monitor
Advantech announces the release of IDS-
3118W, a 18.5” multi-touch open frame touch
monitor. IDS-3118W is specifically designed
to meet “end users’ needs” in terms of ID
design, operating interface, and installation.
The product features a wide viewing area (16:
9), a more intuitive operating interface with
P-cap touch technology, and simpler instal-
lation; making it the best choice for multiple
embedded applications such as KIOSK, HMI,
etc.
Infineon: multimode flyback
controller meets needs of mid- to
high-end LED lighting designs
Infineon Technologies launched a multimode
flyback controller IC for LED applications. It
can shorten ‘time-to-light’, lower component
counts and reduce operational and standby
power consumption. Designed to meet the
performance and efficiency demands of mid-
range to high-end LED designs, the IRS2982S
provides a versatile controller solution that
can meet the needs of a wide variety of inte-
rior, outdoor, office and industrial lighting
schemes.
Mouser: custom-programmable
9-axis motion sensor
Mouser Electronics is now stocking the
BMF055 9-axis motion sensor from Bosch
Sensortec. Featured as one of EDN’s Hot 100
Products of 2015, this System-in-Package
MEMS sensor is part of Bosch Sensortec’s
Application-Specific Sensor Node (ASSN)
family. The device combines an accelerom-
eter, a gyroscope, and a magnetometer with
an ARM Cortex-M0+ processor from Atmel’s
SAMD20 microcontroller family. Integrating
three sensors with a powerful ARM micro-
controller, the BMF055 is an ideal solution for
designers looking to develop advanced appli-
cation-specific sensor fusion algorithms, add
sophisticated motion sensing capabilities, and
replace multiple discrete components in their
Internet of Things designs.
DDC: cost optimized, scalable 32
channel ARINC 429 PMC/XMC
Data Device Corporation introduces the new
DD-40002X high density 32-channel ARINC
PMC and XMC boards, offering advanced
functionality, with programmable and fixed
I/O configurations. The DD-40002X is
designed to support maximum data through-
put on all channels, while also providing
DMA for low CPU utilization, error detection,
and label filtering per channel.
AAEON brings 6th Gen
Intel Core to Mini-ITX
August 2015 brought the launch of the 6th
Gen Intel Core CPUs. AAEON incorporated
this new technology into the Mini-ITX form
factor with the EMB-Q170A, EMB-Q170B,
and EMB-H110B industrial motherboard.
Using the S-variant of the processors, all three
boards benefit from the new chips’ native sup-
port for more advanced memory, namely the
DDR4 memory, and 4k media content sup-
port, for upgraded graphical as well as general
performance.
IBASE: rugged in-vehicle digital signage
system with wide-range DC power input
IBASE Technology has announced the
SE-602-N designed as an outdoor and in-ve-
hicle digital signage system with a wide range
DC power input of 7 to 36V. Based on 5th Gen-
eration Intel Core processors, the SE-602-N is
built to withstand continuous vibration and
wide operating temperature range of -40 to
75°C that makes it suitable for outdoor and
automotive signage applications.
nanotron: low-cost exclusion zone
solutions for operator safety
As part of its joint initiative with Decawave
to simplify how developers utilize UWB
location-awareness
nanotron
Technolo-
gies announces the market launch of its new
swarm bee ER location sensor. In the prod-
uct name the suffix ER stands for Enhanced
Resolution and signifies Micro-Location with
UWB achieving 10 cm location accuracy. The
new product belongs to nanotron’s family of
swarm bee modules. All of them utilize the
same common swarm API and target the
growing market for autonomous smart items.
Smart items combine wireless data commu-
nication capabilities with location-awareness
and serve as a platform for sensors and actu-
ators.
