Radstone Embedded Computing and Quantum3D

Published Sat, 2006-06-10 18:30

Quantum 3D and Radstone Embedded Computing have an agreement which sees Quantum’s highly-regarded IData graphical interface development environment and tools becoming available across the range of Radstone’s graphics processors, including Screaming Eagle, Octegra3 and the PMCGA4 and PMCGA3 mezzanines. The agreement provides for Radstone to supply the technical support necessary for the IData software to be ported to the Radstone hardware environment, and for the two companies to undertake joint marketing initiatives that will promote the combined Quantum3D/Radstone solution for a wide range of applications - including simulation, cockpit display and unmanned vehicle ground station control - for defense customers. Radstone’s graphics products are the only COTS hardware platform that will support Quantum3D’s flight-certifiable IData running on top of the Seaweed flight-certifiable OpenGL, making the combination especially attractive to customers for whom DO-178B software development is a critical program requirement for aircraft certification.

IData is a suite of powerful, cost effective Human Machine Interface (HMI) tools developed by Quantum3D, Inc. It enables rapid prototyping, development, and deployment of dynamic and interactive cross platform 2D and 3D OpenGL-based HMIs for embedded systems, data display, and simulation applications, and dramatically reduces the development time and integration efforts typically associated with developing and deploying dynamic human/machine interfaces.

Radstone’s range of graphics processors and mezzanines was extended still further in November 2005 with the announcement of the Pentium M-based Screaming Eagle SE1, a dual slot 6U VMEbus solution featuring the nVidia GeForce 7800GT chip set. Screaming Eagle complements the Octegra3 PowerPC 7447A-based single board computer equipped with a 3Dlabs P9 VPU. The Radstone graphics range is rounded out by the PMCGA3 and PMCGA4 PMCs.

UltraCell Receives Funding from U.S. Army UltraCell Corporation has received a contract award from the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center’s (CERDEC) Army Power Division to accelerate development of the XX25™, a 25-watt reformed methanol fuel cell, for use as a soldier power device.
An Ultrasound Version of the Laser Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at the University of Missouri at Rolla have built an ultrasound analogue of the laser. Called a uaser (pronounced WAY-zer) -- for ultrasound amplification by stimulated emission of radiation -- the instrument produces ultrasonic waves that are coherent and of one frequency, and could be used to study laser dynamics and detect subtle changes, such as phase changes, in modern materials.
Industrial Biotechnology: Joint European Strategy Sixteen research organisations from twelve European countries have joined forces in the area of industrial biotechnology. The recent award made by the European Union to the network ERA Industrial Biotechnology (ERA-IB), is an essential contribution to improving Europe's competitive position. ERA-IB was launched in Brussels on 30 and 31 May 2006. The cooperation must result in a harmonisation of the currently fragmented national research policies, the implementation of a joint strategy and coordination of new international research programmes in the area of industrial biotechnology. To achieve this the network will be supported by the European Technology Platform for Sustainable Chemistry (ETP-SusChem) and by the European Association for Bioindustries (EuropaBio).
BROOM Software Now Available to Potential Licensing Partners A software-based tool developed by Sandia National Laboratories for managing the collection, visualization, and analysis of environmental sampling data is now available to potential licensing partners. Sandia’s Building Restoration Operations Optimization Model (BROOM) software system was developed to help decision makers — during the planning phase and throughout actual cleanup operations — to speed up reoccupation and return to service of contaminated buildings and facilities. The tool provides an efficient and scientifically defensible approach to planning and executing sampling and cleanup activities. To date, there has been no comprehensive system for handling and assisting with this process.
Virginia Tech takes Challenge X General Motors (GM) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), lead sponsors for the Challenge X: Crossover to Sustainable Mobility engineering competition, congratulated students from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, who took top honors today at this second annual competition in a three-year series.
