Altair FourGee-1160 Enables 10-Year Battery Life Solutions for the Internet of Things
Power Save Mode (PSM) Verizon Launch in 2016
HOD HASHARON, Israel, September 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Altair Semiconductor (http://www.altair-semi.com), a leading provider of LTE
chipsets, today announced a strategic initiative with Verizon Wireless to accelerate the
development of new LTE-based, commercial Internet of Things (IoT) products. Altair is
demonstrating LTE's Release 12 PSM functionality at the CTIA conference in Las Vegas,
fulfilling the promise of a 10-year battery-life LTE connection.
"Our collaboration with Verizon Wireless demonstrates to us that North America's
largest communication service provider sees the value of our LTE Cat-1/0 chipsets for IoT
applications," said Eran Eshed, Co-Founder and VP of Marketing and Business Development
for Altair. "Altair is pioneering this new and emerging space for LTE and is focused on
launching Cat-1/0 commercial products shortly."
PSM, as specified by 3GPP Release 12, enables terminals to enter a deep-sleep mode for
long periods of time after notifying the base station. This reduces significantly the
amount of power associated with devices having to wakeup frequently to monitor incoming
messages. PSM helps most when devices send small messages to the network on an infrequent
basis.
"The Internet of Things presents new opportunities for all of us in the industry.
Verizon is committed to deliver solutions that meet the needs of our customers. Altair's
low-cost, long battery life LTE Cat-1 solution, being demonstrated at the Ericsson booth,
is a great example of the innovation happening in this space," said Ro McNally, Vice
President, Verizon Wireless.
Key potential applications for the Altair FourGee-1160 Cat-1 chipset are smart meters,
car Telematics, security systems and smart home devices as well as other sensors and edge
devices.
A demo of Altair's PSM-capable chipsets will take place at Ericsson's Super Mobility
Week Booth #4322 at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas, NV, from September 9-11.

Alphaform Produces Hip Implants Using EOS Additive Manufacturing
SHANGHAI, September 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
15-Year-old cancer patient receives the perfect implant and renewed hope for the
future Â
- Cross reference: Picture is available via epa european pressphoto agency
(http://www.epa.eu) -
A cancer diagnosis always comes as a shock. In the case of a boy from Croatia this was
particularly true as an aggressive form of bone cancer had destroyed the teenager's hip.
The only option for the doctors treating him was a complete reconstruction of the hip
bone. The 3D printing experts at Alphaform, a company with extensive experience in the
medical sector, successfully produced the implant relying on industrial 3D Printing from
EOS, the global technology and quality leader for high-end Additive Manufacturing (AM)
solutions.
The surgeon's challenge: the 15-year-old patient from Croatia had a primary bone tumor,
as such not formed by metastasis and lying directly on the bone. The malignancies
generally grow destructively, meaning that the original tissue must be removed. A complete
arthroplasty of the hip was the fundamental prerequisite for ensuring the cancer cells did
not continue to spread in the boy's body. An intervention of this type limits the mobility
of the joint, and thus the mobility of the patient. With a precision implant, a patient's
motor skills can largely remain unaffected in the future. In the hip area, the precise
shaping of the replacement bone is particularly important.
In addition to the pure destructive force of the cancer, time was crucial because the
illness was spreading with speed. The new implant also had to meet the doctors' weight
specifications. The Croatian surgical team ordered an implant from Alphaform that had to
be delivered fast and needed to be lightweight, yet precise. Christoph Erhardt, Director
of Additive Manufacturing at Alphaform AG adds: "The design process was a real challenge.
We received the complete 3D data including the cavities from Instrumentaria. Based on this
we were able to start with the precise manufacture of the implant."
The subsequent operation in May 2014 was a great success. First the team of doctors
completely removed all of the parts affected by the cancer and then the new artificial hip
was inserted, complete with the integrated joint. A part of the young patient's thigh was
replaced so that both joint parts fit within one another perfectly. As such, all medical
requirements for the implant were fulfilled and laid the foundation for the patient's
successful recovery.

-- The Unified Power Format (UPF) Successive Refinement Methodology enables
the incremental specification and early verification of power management
intent.
-- The Questa(®) Power Aware Simulation solution and Visualizer Debug
Environment facilitate adoption of a Successive Refinement Methodology
flow.
-- ARM has demonstrated support for Successive Refinement in a complete IP
to SoC design flow from verification to implementation.
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced support for the Low Power Successive Refinement Methodology using Questa Power Aware Simulation and new capabilities in the Visualizer Debug Environment to dramatically improve verification re-use and productivity for low power designs using ARM technology(®).
UPF, which specifies 'power intent' separate from the design, is used in both the verification and implementation stages of chip design. Traditional low power methodologies that focus on implementation start to break down as complex power management requirements increase. The Successive Refinement Methodology defines power intent more abstractly early in the design cycle, and refines/augments it in more detail as the design moves to implementation. This improves the overall verification process and the reuse of verification results at each step. The Successive Refinement Methodology focuses on dividing UPF into Constraint UPF for IP/blocks, Configuration UPF for verification and Implementation UPF. This enables soft IP and sub-systems to be developed from multiple sources (along with their power intent) and then quickly verified together to preserve equity in power verification.
The Successive Refinement Methodology was introduced into the UPF specification by John Biggs, senior principal research engineer, ARM and chair of IEEE1801. Mentor and ARM have worked closely on the Successive Refinement Methodology since its inception. This collaboration has resulted in ARM delivering Constraint UPF and example Configuration UPF for ARM IP for a flow verified with Questa Power Aware Simulation and completed through implementation (synthesis and place and route).
"Delivering increasingly energy-efficient processor IP, in the fast-paced markets that ARM operates in, leads to a constant demand for new process optimization tools," said John Biggs, senior principal engineer, ARM and chair of IEEE1801. "By using the Successive Refinement Methodology, ARM is able to deliver IP built for low power applications alongside a UPF description of the technology-independent power intent. This allows our partners to dramatically reduce their low power verification cost and time."
"Mentor has been driving low power standards from the inception with UPF. The collaboration with ARM that resulted in the Successive Refinement Methodology enables a much needed 'shift-left' to address the growing complexities of low power verification," said John Lenyo, vice president and general manager, Design Verification Technology Division, Mentor Graphics. "Questa Power Aware Simulation comes with native UPF2.1 support, automatic low power checks and coverage. Coupled with unique exploration of the power management structures and behaviors with the Visualizer Debug Environment, it accelerates and automates low power verification flows using the Successive Refinement Methodology."
About the Questa Functional Verification platform
The Questa Functional Verification platform is a core technology in the Mentor® Enterprise Verification Platform (EVP) - a platform that boosts productivity in ASIC and SoC functional verification by combining cutting-edge verification technologies in a cohesive verification platform.

Intepro Introduces Auto-Ranging Programmable DC Power Source
Model PSI 9000 provides up to 15kW in 3U rack-mount chassis; auto-ranging feature maintains full rated power output at lower-voltage settings; units can be paralleled up to 150kW
TUSTIN, Calif., Sept. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Intepro Systems, a market leader in power component and power system automated test equipment (ATE), introduces the PSI 9000 Series of programmable DC power sources. A single 3U chassis houses up to 15kW of DC power and can be paralleled up to 150 kilowatts. Each chassis features a controller that allows the flexibility of separating into individual sources or paralleling for high-power applications.
A unique feature of the PSI 9000 Series is its auto-ranging output. Unlike competitive DC sources that provide rated power only when maximum voltage is applied to the load, the auto-ranging output stage is capable of delivering three times higher output current at reduced voltages. This feature is especially useful when testing products that require varied input voltages while maintaining regulated output power. With auto-ranging, a single system provides a complete test solution, compared to buying multiple sources to address low- and high-voltage/current requirements.
The PSI 9000 Series features an interactive touch panel menu navigation system that simplifies set up and storing to test profiles. The industry leading high-efficiency unit (up to 95.5%) includes an integrated true function generator. Complex test sequences can be loaded from and saved to a standard USB flash drive. The unit also includes simulations for PV (photovoltaic) arrays and fuel cells.
"The PSI 9000 Series is designed to simplify test set up and operation," said Gerard Sheehan, Intepro's Chief Technical Officer. "Front panel controls include an intuitive LCD display and control knobs for setting voltage, current, power or internal resistance simulation values."
Additional features of the RoHS-compliant PSI 9000 Series include a galvanically isolated analog interface for voltage, current and power programming and monitoring; digital plug-and-play modules supporting RS232, Ethernet, CANopen, Modbus TCP, Profibus, Devicenet; and IEEE/GPIB and SCPI command language support.
The PSI 9000 Series is offered in models with output power ratings of 0-3.3kW, 0-5kW, 0-10kW and 0-15kW in a single 3U chassis. The PSI 9000 3U family includes eight voltage models ranging to 1,500VDC.

information about their offers, store locations, upcoming sale or fresh stock and lots
more. This way the brands get to communicate to the genuine consumers who are most
