It's hard to think about the convergence of IT and OT as a prediction for 2021 because the broader concept has been the topic of conversation for nearly 10 years.
There are several examples of where rugged tablet computers find its application in healthcare:
To mitigate noise issues common with conventional op amps, ROHM has developed the EMARMOURseries featuring noise-tolerant op amps.
The F-800 series is available in various capacities from 2 to 64 GB and is characterized by low power consumption and low heat generation.
element14.com has introduced new resources and expertise to its range of free DIY learning modules.
The Marvel Prestera-based ComEth4510e delivers support for up to 98 ports with 1000BASE-T SFP+ and QSFP interfaces on the front panel and 1000BASE-KX/10GBASE-KR and 40GBASE-KR4 interfaces on the rear.
“One of the major advantages of the COM-HPC architecture is that you can share the same module and use it across different applications,” offers Joel Finkel of Intel.
The beauty of an open standard like COM-HPC is that it’s interchangeable between different vendors and also between different technologies,” says Christian Eder, congatec.
“By using this computer and module philosophy, you end up with a very flexible system," said Chris Engels of Avnet Integrated. "The result is a system that’s widely usable over a long period of time."
An interview with Burrell Best of Samtec, an overview of the signal integrity and platform integrity subgroup activities enabling COM-HPC.
The COM-HPC specification consists of two basic components, the server and the client. Here, I’m going to focus on the client side by referencing a recent interview with Max Chi of Advantech.
The new PICMG COM-HPC specification includes both client and server implementations. Here, I look at the server side based on an interview with ADLINK Technology, Inc.
With technologies like Gen 5 PCI Express (32 Gtransfers/s) and 5G on the horizon, the time is right for a new COM spec, and COM-HPC is, in essence, an upgrade to—but not a replacement for—COM Express.
Jens Hagemeyer and Martin Kaiser, a pair of research associates at Bielefeld University in Germany, discuss platform management for COM-HPC.
Perhaps you’ve considered a laser as well, but have little to no idea of what to expect. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase, and there were no huge (bad) surprises.
