The active RFID based solution includes long-range tags, readers and integration software so that the system can leverage the terminals’ existing GPS and Terminal Operating Systems.

——————————————————————————–

The tags, which are affixed to the chassis of all trucks in the terminals, are read by RFID readers mounted on every container handling equipment. Once the tag is read a message is sent to the Terminal Operating System (TOS) for automated job promotion. The TOS takes the data supplied by the readers and downloads the appropriate job to the Position Determining System (a GPS based tracking system) and the task is executed and automatically confirmed.

According to Identec, the automated job promotion solution eliminates data entry, increases productivity in container hand offs and improves worker safety. Both solutions have been developed and deployed by SIMEC, a local Madrid, Spain based system integrator.

However, the accord is expected to include an option to exit the pact before three years are up, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Telco holds 24.5 percent of Telecom Italia, Europe’s fourth-biggest phone company by market value.

‘The situation seems to still be that of renewing the pact with the same investors (while) offering the option of renegotiating an expiry date well before three years,’ one source told Reuters.

Speculation on the pact’s renewal has heated up ahead of the Oct. 28 deadline for any member to state if it wants to exit the accord. That date is six months ahead of the pact’s expiry.

Sources close to the matter have said it is very likely that all the investors will remain in Telco. However, changes are expected to the accord, in particular cutting the duration when it is renewed in April to less than three years.

Telco comprises Spain’s Telefonica SA ( TEF – news - people ) with 42.3 percent, insurer Assicurazioni Generali SpA with 28 percent and banks Mediobanca SpA and Intesa Sanpaolo SpA with 10.6 percent each. The Benetton family holding company Sintonia has 8.4 percent.

Italian newspapers over the weekend said Telco is likely to renew the pact for three years with the option of breaking it up after 18 months.

A second source concurred, saying the thinking was for a three-year renewal with the option of exiting after 18 months. The source added the group was leaning towards excluding a capital increase and focusing on renegotiating existing debt.

Newspapers on Saturday reported Telco was mulling a 2.6 billion euro ($3.9 billion) bond.

Telco has a 1.1 billion euro financing which expires at the end of the year, extended by Mediobanca and Intesa Sanpaolo. It also has a credit line of up to 2.4 billion euros from UniCredit SpA.

Shares in Telecom Italia were up 1.7 percent at 1.20 euros at 1436 GMT, in line with the DJ Stoxx European telecoms index

At last week’s GSA Expo event, specialty foundry vendors not only disclosed new initiatives, but they also see select capacity shortages, extended lead times—and a pending shakeout. Still to be seen, however, is if the current IC recovery will continue or fall back into a dreaded double dip. Specialty foundry vendors also see a new competitive threat on the horizon: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd.

Perhaps the most surprising development was disclosed by Dongbu HiTek, a Korean pure-play foundry vendor. Dongbu, which has been a pure-play foundry, has quietly devised a CMOS image sensor and LCD driver IC that is being marketed under its own brand name. Dongbu’s main focus will remain in the analog/mixed-signal foundry sector, but the company is taking a small step into the IDM arena.

Another Korean specialty foundry vendor, MagnaChip Semiconductor Ltd, has just emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and is renewing its foundry efforts. MagnaChip will continue to expand its analog/mixed-signal foundry portfolio, according to a spokesman. This is bad news for the market: MagnaChip has been the thorn in the side of some foundry vendors, as it reportedly provides processes at rock bottom prices.

Over time, it is unclear if MagnaChip can ultimately survive. In fact, the long-awaited shakeout in the foundry business is finally taking shape. The latest victim in the specialty foundry shakeout: China’s Shanghai Hua Hong NEC Electronics Co. Ltd (HHNEC) is reportedly set to buy struggling Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. (GSMC), according to reports.

In addition, ASMC, L-Foundry, Silterra and others are also acquisition targets, analysts said. All specialty foundries, which mainly offer analog, mixed-signal and related processes, are now looking over their shoulders and seeing a new competitive threat in TSMC.

TSMC recently joined the Interoperable PDK Libraries industry alliance. The IPL group, which includes Magma, Mentor, Synopsys and other tool and IP vendors, is pushing for a standard foundry process design kit (PDK) based on a 65nm technology and beyond. TSMC has other analog/mixed-signal efforts in the works.

Other foundry providers are also moving full speed ahead with new processes and related offerings. On Semiconductor Inc. has recently expanded its foundry capabilities with the launch of a new 0.18µm CMOS process technology. Austriamicrosystems, HHNEC, L-Foundry, Tower-Jazz, X-Fab and others have announced new processes or design kits.

Thankfully, all foundries, including TSMC, are also seeing the later stages of perhaps the worst downturn in the history of business. Until recently, “everybody was struggling,” said Jae-Inh Song, sales and marketing executive vice president for the analog foundry unit at Dongbu.

Then, from February to March, orders began to pick up within the LCD, mobile phone and other sectors. And in a relatively short time, Dongbu’s fab utilization rate jumped from 40 percent at one of its lowest levels, to 90 percent, Song said. Right now, Dongbu’s “fab is full,” he told EE Times at the GSA Expo.

“I’m a little optimistic for next year,” he said. “We see solid growth until the second quarter of 2010.”

Researchers at UC-Berkeley, University of Illinois and Stanford University have been at work for a little over a year with grants from Intel, Microsoft and a handful of other backers mainly from the PC industry. All three are forming ideas about the future of chips with dozens or hundreds of cores and coding prototype parallel software to harness them.

All sides see the need to rewrite today’s software stack, starting with performance-hungry applications then plugging in new languages and runtime environments and rewriting or scraping traditional OS. They are already beginning to develop and test early versions of their code.

Work on hardware is in a more nascent stage. Most agree changes will focus on developing new memory structures, but fundamental debates about how to architect memory for many-core processors remain unresolved.

“I think we’ve made significant strides,” said Kunle Olukotun, director of the Pervasive Parallelism Lab at Stanford. “We had this vision and have started to fill in the pieces and it feels like the vision really in really coming to pass,” he said.

The labs hope to be able to show “reasonably complete” parallel software stacks running on simulators or prototype hardware within one or two years when their grants are up for renewal. By the end of the five-year grants, they hope to have work that is solid enough to show a path for commercial use.

“We believe within four years we can show companies like Intel and Microsoft how they can make their offerings better support parallel programming,” said Marc Snir, co-director of the Universal Parallel Computing Research Center (UPCRC) at the University of Illinois. “There is no silver bullet, but we hope we can make developing parallel software as easy as developing today’s software,” he said.

The industry expects processors with 64 cores or more will arrive by 2015, forcing the need for parallel software, said David Patterson of the Berkeley Parallel Lab. Although researchers have failed to create a useful parallel programming model in the past, he was upbeat that this time there is broad industry focus on solving the problem.

Single-threaded applications don’t automatically run faster on multicore machines.—C and C++, which are common in embedded systems, are essentially sequential languages. Therefore, when porting an application written in one of these languages to a multicore machine, the application may not benefit from the parallel capabilities of the platform. Since C and C++ don’t help in partitioning applications at the language level, system-level partitioning must be applied. Application/algorithm partitioning can be done at the task (system) level using an appropriate run-time platform (OS and inter-core communication) that supports remapping of tasks between cores. Finer-grained partitioning (dividing tasks/algorithms) for optimal efficiency can be done with code partitioning tools designed for this purpose.

Communication costs time and power. In an application partitioned across multiple cores, communication efficiency between the software modules or tasks is critical in terms of communication setup time, the amount of data that needs to be moved, the speed of the transfer and its delivery-time predictability.

The amount of data is influenced by the type of application and by how well the application is partitioned. The transfer’s efficiency and predictability are influenced by the communication (software) infrastructure and the type of hardware interconnects available in the system. The hardware interconnects may provide limited flexibility, but the partitioning and the choice of the communication software are generally in the designer’s hands.

Memory tups
Shared memory on a bus, a common design, is convenient, but the available bandwidth of the memory and/or bus has to be shared among the cores. If the memory is single-ported, the other cores will stall. Dedicated interconnects (on-core serial or parallel ports) might alleviate contention.

Synchronization of data transfers can be handled by a polling task, which is simple to implement. Interrupt-based synchronization, though, is usually more efficient.

An efficient and flexible software infrastructure for interprocessor communication can quickly and predictably move data, manage multiple logical connections and different types of hardware connections, synchronize transfers, and provide an abstraction layer to the application.

Debugging multicore systems is more complex than debugging single-processor systems and may influence the application.—If the entire system is stopped, the system state can easily be inspected. But if one core or a subset of them is stopped, it is more complex, since other cores may be sending or receiving data to or from the stopped cores. Some cores stop the peripherals together with the core, allowing debug of the intercore communication as well. There must be a multicore debugger that allows you to control which parts of the system are stopped for debugging and what happens to data in transit.

Most embedded systems are influenced by external events and have time dependencies. They will not work correctly if a core halts for debug. Long timeouts can prevent the parts of the application still running from generating errors, if one core is stopped.

Light-limited applications are no problem and get more light to the sensor with these High-NA products. And appliations with unusually high or low temperatures now have fibers that can work at temperatures from as high as 600°C down to -190°C. Whether your system works in the UV, visible, or IR, CeramOptec has the products designed to move your light.

CeramOptec uses a patented PCVD process to create high-grade specialty fibers with a wide range of profiles and dopants, numerical apertures from 0.06 to 0.66, and high radiation resistance levels. Fibers are drawn in-house before being assembled into fiber optic bundles and assemblies. This ensures customers the finest transmission, highest temperature capability, and widest range of numerical apertures.

Most spectrometer systems accept the CeramOptec drop-in replacement bundles. Also, for challenging applications that require custom solutions, CeramOptec’s control over the process from perform to finished assembly allows flexibility of design providing the best solution for your challenge

Agilent reports that several customers are integrating the platform into carrier-class network elements, including Alcatel, which has worked on optical switching platforms for years. The Agilent architecture suits optical cross connects (OXCs), re-arrangeable optical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs), and optical protection switching modules.

The switches are based on Agilent technology that uses a combination of inkjet and planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technologies. They accomplish the task of re-directing light without the help of mirrors or any other moving parts. This switch is composed of a vertical and horizontal array of permanently aligned waveguides. Light is transmitted across a horizontal path from the input to output port until a switch command is issued. When commanded, a bubble is created at the intersection of the appropriate waveguides and the light is reflected down a vertical path to the switched port. This bubble is formed using the same reliable technology now used in inkjet printers.

Lensed fibers are rapidly becoming the choice method for coupling fiber to active devices and waveguides. Lensing technology offers highly efficient couplings while consuming a fraction of the real estate imposed by competing technologies. Laser machining is the most cost efficient and reliable means of manufacturing a lensed fiber. The laser quickly machines the fiber tip into a precise geometry using an optimized numerical solution. In line far field monitoring ensures repeatability and coupling efficiency. In addition, exceptionally high yields allow costly input fibers such as Fiber Bragg Gratings, PM Fiber and metalized fibers to be lensed with minimal cost while maintaining process flow flexibility.

AFL Telecommunications’ Advanced Fiber Interface and Assembly platform allows OEMs to consolidate suppliers of metalized fiber, hermetic sleeves, AR coatings, Lensing, Fiber Bragg Gratings and connectorization into a single source for the entire pigtail assembly.

Engineers from AFL will be available to discuss the lensed fiber technology at the Optical Fiber Communication (OFC) conference March 19 – 21 in Anaheim, Calif. AFL Telecommunications is in Booth #3232.

A Research and Markets report notes that the present global value of the transceivers sector is around $4.2 billion (£2.6 billion).

However, by 2014, this is predicted to increase to $6.5 billion in worldwide sales, with 16 gigabits per second (Gbps) Fibre Channel one of the main areas of business.

More than 65 per cent of the Fibre Channel transceiver market is expected to be in the 16 Gbps market by the end of the coming five years.

In all, Fibre Channel transceivers are predicted to account for more than a quarter (26 per cent) of the sector’s sales by 2014.

Optical transceiver vendor JDSU announced in its recent financial results that it anticipates opportunities in the market in the long term.

President and chief executive officer Tom Waechter explained that JDSU is focusing on innovation as a driving force behind such opportunity.

The focus of policy must shift from providing voice connectivity to the remotest villages to making high-speed broadband connectivity available cheap to all Indians. Voice can ride on broadband and will become virtually free. High-speed broadband connectivity might sound geeky, but is a vital component of inclusive growth. Whether financial inclusion, leak-proof transfer of welfare and subsidy payments to target beneficiaries, concurrent evaluation and monitoring of development projects, popular supervision of civil servants to hold them accountable, newer ways of delivering quality healthcare and education or broadbasing access to economic opportunities in a globalising world, access to high-speed broadband is the key.

Writing in the Economic Times, renowned technologist Raj Reddy made a point that policymakers would do well to bear in mind: when it comes to bandwidth requirement, the poor and the less educated need more, much more, than the educated. What a simple email containing a couple of equations would communicate to an engineer would require a great deal of pictures, graphs and explanatory text for easy comprehension by those with only rudimentary education.

For telecom to be an enabler of new economic activity in India’s rural areas — growing orchids on a Himalayan slope according to expert instruction from a buyer in Amsterdam or creating filigree designs out of gold wire in a Kerala village to meet the orders of a retail chain, for example — it is not sufficient for telecom to remain confined to voice connectivity.

Much of the technology, financial resources and organisational capability required to provide all Indians with high-speed broadband connectivity already exists. Only the needed political will is missing. The new government must make good the deficit.

Upwards of Rs 20,000 crore is lying in the Universal Service Obligation Fund, waiting to be used. This is more than enough to connect not just every district but also every development block with fat fibre-optic pipes. (The laying of these pipes would also provide a stimulus to the economy, incidentally.) Last mile broadband access can be provided through Wi-Max and 3G services.

A plan to link every district with fibre optic cable had been mooted by the telecom ministry when Mr Maran had headed the ministry but was abandoned. That scheme should be revived.

Augmentation of spectrum is another key challenge. While getting defence to vacate spectrum has been on the agenda for ages, releasing the spectrum reserved for terrestrial broadcast and occupied by Doordarshan hardly gets any attention. DD should simply be told to go digital over the next one year. It, too, can be given some money to make the transition. True, those who watch terrestrial TV on old, pre-digital TV sets would have to invest in a set-top box to convert digital signals into analogue ones. This would be a minor cost, given the huge social gain to be had from releasing large swathes of spectrum for telecom.

Security is a major concern. The government must build sufficient capacity to set standards and test every single piece of equipment used in the network. It must build the capacity to monitor India’s communication network, civilian as well as defence, to ensure security. This would call for sizeable investment, which should come from the defence budget.

Another key state initiative is R&D.

There are certain kinds of R&D that may not hold much appeal for the private sector. Technology to do away with the current system of dedicated spectrum for each service provider is one such. The current system of giving a dedicated chunk of spectrum to each service provider, leading to the ongoing bitter scramble for spectrum, is a result of antiquated technology. Ideally, all spectrum should be at the disposal of a spectrum exchange.

When a call is originated, the spectrum demand for that call should be placed on the exchange, and met from the stock of unused spectrum available at the moment. The spectrum required can be priced to reflect the relative scarcity of spectrum during the call. To create such a dynamic, real-time spectrum exchange possible, significant R&D is called for, both in the network and in the consumer equipment.

All of them must be capable of hopping frequencies across the usable electromagnetic spectrum. In-band transmission and mesh networks already possess some of the needed characteristics. What is needed is some additional R&D. The government should fund it, to end spectrum scarcity. It is time the government stopped being a roadblock on the communications highway and became a real facilitator.

“The low receive current of the SX1212 and SX1213 removes a limiting factor to the wireless control industry, which we think will lead to breakthrough systems that make use of a high receiver on time,” said Marc Pegulu, Semtech Industrial Analog product line manager. “For example, next generation energy harvesting solutions can leverage these devices in motion detectors and wireless remote controls to provide improved lighting smart controls that can optimize light levels for a perfect balance of energy consumption and productivity.” Semtech said its SX1212 and SX1213 are regulated to deliver a consistent RF range as the battery voltage decreases over time. This eliminates the cost and board space needed for external power management. For outdoor applications in extreme conditions, both devices leverage improved Semtech technology to deliver stable RF performance across a -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C temperature range.

Both devices incorporate a baseband modem with data rates up to 200 Kbit/s. Data handling features include a sixty-four byte FIFO, packet handling, automatic CRC generation and data whitening. All RF communication parameters are programmable and most of them may be dynamically set. Both devices comply with European (ETSI EN 300-220 V2.1.1) and North American (FCC part 15.247 and 15.249) regulatory standards.

Billed as a unique Freespace mouse, the Loop is engineered to let users control an onscreen cursor with the flick of a wrist. It’s geared toward consumers who have computers connected to their TVs —Hillcrest Labs cited Consumer Electronics Association data that said there are more than 7 million U.S. households with a personal computer connected to a home TV set.

The Loop pointer’s distinctive design is round and ergonomic, with four buttons and a scroll wheel. To use it, consumers plug a small USB 2.0 transceiver (included with the device) with built-in RF technology into a compatible computer or device. No special driver software is required for use on a PC or Mac. Users can operate the device up to 30 feet from the transceiver.

Using Hillcrest Labs’ Freespace technology, the Loop is said to feature high accuracy and precision, and orientation compensation that lets it operate regardless of its orientation. Its Adaptive Tremor Removal technology can reportedly distinguish between intentional and unintentional movement, including natural hand tremors, said Hillcrest.

“Instead of filtering out the entire range of human tremor, which would reduce the accuracy of the pointer, the Loop pointer dynamically measures each individual user’s specific tremor and unintentional movements and removes them,” the company said.

The Loop can also be utilized as a presentation tool, letting users switch between presentations, Web pages and other applications. Although it can not operate as a game controller for a PlayStation3, it can be used as a complementary device to navigate the Internet using the PS3 browser, Hillcrest Labs said.

Suggested retail for the 4.9-ounce Loop pointer, which has a 4.8-inch diameter and 1.2-inch width, is $99.

The first operative use of the PRC 77 was in the Battle of Karameh, in 1968. A larger number arrived with an American air shuttle during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Tadiran Communications also began manufacturing it under license in Israel. Over the years, the PRC 77 became the standard IDF radio and tens of thousands of sets were used by IDF units. Its VRC model was installed in vehicles.

The United States army began using the PRC 77 in the 1960s and it was widely used during the Vietnam war, however they stopped using it 20 years ago. At the end of the ’80s, the IDF made plans to replace the PRC 77 with the digital 91 radio, but due to budgetary reasons the purchase of the digital radio was halted.

At the beginning of the 1990s, the IDF started buying limited quantities of the manual 624 radio, but because of the limited number of sets available, IDF field units and reserve units continued to use the portable manpack 77 radio. After upgrading the field units’ equipment in the wake of the Second Lebanon War and with the ground forces moving to Digital Ground Army systems, the IDF decided to finally phase out the use of the PRC 77 with the completion of the army’s multi-year program at the end of 2011. It will be replaced by the manual 624 and 710 radios. The great advances made in the army’s communications systems in recent years has also meant that there are now fewer technicians and workshops specializing in the growing number of hitches in the PRC 77.

The PRC 77 transceiver revolutionized the operations and performance of IDF ground units, as it was the first radio that enabled infantry, artillery and armored forces to communicate with each other on the same frequencies. Until then, each corps had used different kinds of equipment, which meant commanders had to carry all the various types in order to coordinate between the forces.

As the PRC 77 was easy to operate, every combatant could change the radio’s channels without needing to calibrate frequencies. This meant it could be used after the briefest of training. Even its weight was seen as a blessing; compared to other options at the time, the set was considered light and portable. Its production by Tadiran was the first significant military communications equipment manufactured by the Israeli military industries.

The PRC 77 acquired a rich legacy, with combatants reporting that it could continue operating even after being riddled with bullets or run over by a tank. But over the years, it became the subject of mockery, especially after promises to replace it remained unfilled.

One reserve soldier joked that the voice of Rafael Eitan, the chief of staff during the first Lebanon war, could still be heard on one of the frequencies, giving out orders.

“It was extraordinarily reliable, but most of the stories are fairy tales,” says Brigadier (res.) Shlomo Wachs, former commander of the Communication Corps. “Still, many signalers owe it their life because it served as a bulletproof vest, blocking bullets that could have killed them.”

As a young communications officer in the Golan Heights, Wachs said that thanks to the PRC 77 he managed in 1968 to talk to General Staff Headquarters in Tel Aviv from the top of Mount Hermon. He added, however, that “the fact that it took so many years to replace it, because of the IDF’s difficulty in replacing the entire inventory, is a scandal.”

Nadav, a fighter from the Golani Brigade who was discharged a year ago and has already completed his first stint of reserve duty, does not find the old radio so terrible. “The PRC 77s can be found in every corner of the army and that’s why it’s difficult to change all the transceivers,” he says. “But that was actually to our advantage when we lost one because there was always another set we could pick up. Today almost all the field units use more sophisticated communications devices in their regular operations, so when you come to your reserve unit you are in shock when you see they’re still using the 77. The reaction is almost always the same – you throw it into the jeep and use the cell phone instead.”

Communications methods that involve user interaction–such as Twitter, blogs, social networking sites, Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds, and others–provide emergency communications an unparalleled opportunity to reach wide audiences in times of catastrophe, observed the report, titled “Expert Round Table on Social Media and Risk Communication During Times of Crisis: Strategic Challenges and Opportunities.”

“The use of social media during emergencies-from the 2007 shootings at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), to the 2008 terror attacks on Mumbai, to the 2009 salmonella-related peanut recall-is leading to a roadmap to help public health and emergency management craft a unified strategy on applying social media to crisis communications,” the report stated.

The sort of situational awareness resulting from social media communications was lacking during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 when the levees around New Orleans broke and the city was flooded, the report said.

Some government agencies have been leading the way in demonstrating how to incorporate social media into their communications with the public, however. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for instance, has been making use of social media tools to reach out to US citizens. The report pointed to an example of how CDC does that with the agency’s “Hurricane Tip of the Week,” which provides an estimated 34,000 e-mail subscribers and 1,600 Twitter followers with guidelines on hurricane response.

The report offered tips for how organizations might best use social media during emergencies. Those tips included, among others:

* Make social media efforts message driven, not channel driven.
* Keep messages brief and pertinent. People are not really reading, they are scanning.
* Make sure you can receive public input. Remember that social media is not just about you talking to the public; it also is about them talking to you and to each other.
* Use social media to support a unified message. Instead of creating a new message for social media, use social media to support your existing message in a larger communications model.
* Avoid “shiny new object syndrome” (being quick to adopt every new social media that emerges…as soon as it emerges).

The report also recommended ways to establish social media best practices. Those recommendations included:

* Develop a research agenda that will allow for evaluation of the effectiveness of social media in a disaster communications model.
* Initiate a cultural shift. Allow your group/agency the room to grow in developing a new approach to social media. This is where leadership is key.
* Remember that people are there because they want to be. They are not being forced into a social media environment.
* Seek ways to address technical hurdles (e.g., mobile phone towers not working during a hurricane).
* Be relevant. Do not spam users with too much information.
* Choose a few social media tools and develop them well.

The report resulted from a risk communications roundtable–held March 31 in Washington, DC–sponsored by Booz Allen Hamilton, the American Public Health Association, the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services, International Association of Emergency Managers, and National Association of Government Communicators.
