IXYS-Clare Launches the CPC5902 Optically Isolated I2C Bus Repeater
A New Offering of Isolated Communications ICs
Beverly, Massachusetts, USA – January 12, 2012 – IXYS-Clare, Inc., an IXYS company (NASDAQ: IXYS – News), announced the immediate availability of the first in a new family of enhanced communications ICs, the CPC5902 Optically Isolated I2C Bus Repeater. The CPC5902 dual, optically isolated, bidirectional logic-bus repeater is the industry's first integrated optical solution for I2C bus design. This device buffers the bidirectional I2C clock and data ports while providing 3750Vrms of galvanic isolation. The CPC5902 supports both Standard- and Fast-mode I2C (up to 400kbps).
Previous designs required an I2C driver IC and four optocouplers. The CPC5902 provides an integrated single package solution that minimizes PC board space and reduces part count. Unlike competitive magnetically isolated digital isolator ICs, transformer or capacitive isolators, Clare's optical solution requires no internal clocking (a primary source of EMI/RFI interference in designs) and supports direct static-state buffering without refresh clocks. In addition, the unique design of the CPC5902 offers glitch-free operation as well as excellent reliability and very long operational life. Whereas most competitive devices work to a minimum supply range of 3.0V, the CPC5902 offers more design flexibility with a guaranteed operation as low as 2.7V.
The CPC5902 Optically Coupled I2C Bus Repeater is ideal for Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) applications, providing buffering and isolation of the clock and data signals between the host controller and the Power Supply Equipment (PSE) controller. Additional applications include power supply high side interface, I2C bus length extender and isolated signal monitoring and control. The wide operational power supply range specification of 2.7V to 5.5V enables I2C logic level translation applications. The CPC5902 is certified to UL 1577 and EN/IEC 60950.
"Within the world of IXYS solutions for our customers, the CPC5902 provides isolated connectivity for power management applications, especially for power control with our Zilog MCU's", said Mark Heisig president of IXYS-Clare.

In making an off-campus telephone call, especially an overseas call, have you mistakenly reached the 911 emergency operator? If this happens to you, please stay on the phone and explain to the operator that you reached him or her by mistake. Since Champaign County now has what is know as an Enhanced 911 system, operators are provided the location of the caller. If someone calls 911 and then hangs up when he realizes his error, the 911 operator is trained to dispatch emergency personnel to the scene.
Changes at the university now allow campus callers to dial 911 (as opposed to 9-911) to reach the emergency operator. As a result, an increasing number of false calls are reaching the 911 operators. Telling the operator of your mistake will help to ensure that only emergency situations are being responded to.

Safer Adaptive Cruise Control for Traffic Wave Dampening
|Title||Safer Adaptive Cruise Control for Traffic Wave Dampening|
|Publication Type||Conference Paper|
|Year of Publication||2021|
|Authors||Baschab, E, Ball, S, Vazzana, A, Sprinkle, J|
|Conference Name||ACM/IEEE 12th International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems (with CPS-IoT Week 2021)|
This project aims to develop an adaptive cruise controller for vehicles at low speeds in stop-and-go traffic. Current adaptive cruise controllers can use RADAR sensors to follow a vehicle at high speeds (greater than 18 mph), but reach their limits if the lead vehicle’s velocity dips below threshold, requiring the driver of the host vehicle to resume control over the car’s speed. Some cruise controllers adapt to stop-and-go traffic, but these are mostly experimental and have yet to see widespread commercial implementation. These experimental models often have issues because of their limited data; consequently, the acceleration and deceleration can be jarring and uncomfortable to passengers. In contrast, because of our reliable sensor data, and the sensor configuration unique to the CAT Vehicle, our cruise controller will be capable of following cars at low speeds and functioning continuously, even when the car is stopped.

DEED encourages Minnesotans to apply for broadband expansion program for homes and businesses
$15 million available to help Minnesotans access high-speed broadband
St. Paul – Ahead of an important April 30 deadline, the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) is encouraging Minnesotans to apply for its Line Extension Program to connect homes and businesses to high-speed broadband.
The DEED Office of Broadband Development’s Line Extension Program connects internet service providers to residents and businesses that lack high-speed broadband.
If applicants are in areas where high-speed broadband is available, DEED will help service providers contact applicants about connecting to the service. If no provider offers broadband at an applicant’s address, the Line Extension Program awards grants for providers who want to extend existing broadband infrastructure to the unserved locations, providing higher-speed internet to more people around the state.
“High-speed broadband helps families stay connected to work, school, and healthcare. It allows businesses big and small to reach more customers and grow” said Bree Maki, executive director of the Office of Broadband Development at DEED. “The Line Extension Program is one of the ways DEED is connecting more people to the broadband they need. We encourage Minnesotans who need faster connections to apply for this program.”
While DEED will accept applications throughout the year, the Office of Broadband Development will only review applications, contact applicants, and award extension grants every six months. The first review period begins on May 1, meaning Minnesotans hoping to participate most quickly should apply before then.
The Legislature created the Line Extension Program in 2022, allocating $15 million for broadband extension grants to further DEED’s mission to connect more Minnesotans to high-speed broadband. Minnesota's 2026 goal is that all homes and businesses have access to broadband with download speeds of at least 100Mbps and upload speeds of at least 20 Mbps.
Line Extension is one of several programs DEED’s Office of Broadband Development administers to expand Minnesota’s broadband access.
Last year the agency announced the state’s largest-ever investment in broadband when it awarded $99.6 million in grants through the Border-to-Border Broadband Development Grant program to 61 expansion projects around the state. The funding will connect more than 33,000 Minnesota homes and businesses in 48 counties to high speed broadband. Legislative leaders and Governor Walz have agreed to provide $100 million this session to fund future Border-to-Border grants.
“Programs like Line Extension show how Minnesota's legislators, private sector, DEED, and the rest of the Walz-Flanagan Administration are working together to bring high-speed broadband to everyone in Minnesota,” said DEED Temporary CommissionerKevin McKinnon. “We appreciate this ongoing partnership and look forward to helping more people access important high-speed broadband.”
DEED is the state’s principal economic development agency, promoting business recruitment, expansion and retention, workforce development, international trade and community development. For more details about the agency and its services, visit the DEED website, the JoinUsMn.com website, or follow us on Twitter. ### Upon request, this information can be made available in alternate formats for people with disabilities by contacting the DEED Communications Office at 651-259-7161.

RIGOL Announces new Custom Chipset and Oscilloscope Architecture
- Jul 13, 2017
- 0 Comments
RIGOL Technologies continues its 19 year history of Test and Measurement innovation with the announcement of its new Phoenix Oscilloscope chipset and the Ultravision II oscilloscope architecture. These technology innovations, years in development, will help transform the RIGOL portfolio allowing RIGOL to address the needs of higher performance applications.
There are three chips in the Phoenix chipset (each named after stars in the Phoenix Constellation). The Analog front end chip (named Beta Phoenicis) will allow for front end bandwidth as high as 4 GHz, integrates all functionality required by digital Oscilloscopes analog modules, including 1Mohm channel input attenuator can be realised fast and really "quiet" sound switch stalls; due to the chip using a unique circuit design, 1M Ω mode overdrive recovery time reduce to 0.5% of the existing product . The chip need only add a few external components to form a Oscilloscopes analog front-end channels, revealing the " simple is beautiful " system design and greatly improve DSO consistency and reliability. Other then the analog front end chip, Rigol also have the Signal Processing Chip (named Ankaa) supports 10 GSa/s data acquisition capability and the Probe Amplifier Chip (named Gamma Phoenicis) will support up to 6 GHz differential probe. The ASICs are based entirely on RIGOL IP and were developed entirely inhouse.
“Over the past 19 years RIGOL has proven ourselves to be an innovator in the Basic and Value segments of the Oscilloscope market” say Rico Wang, President of RIGOL Technologies “but with the introduction of this new chip set, developed through years of painstaking research and development, RIGOL will now be able to bring the RIGOL value proposition to more performance oriented applications.”
The Phoenix Chipset enables RIGOL to revolutionise its scope performance with the new UltraVision II architecture. These enhancements will lead to products with significantly faster waveform capture rates, new filtering and triggering capabilities, and unprecedented memory depths and search capabilities. When combined with the HW performance of the Phoenix Chipset, Ultravision II will transform the customer value proposition in the 1-4 GHz oscilloscope market.
At the chipset launch review in Suzhou China RIGOL demonstrated its prototype scope utilising Phoenix and Ultravision II. With 4 GHz Bandwidth, 20 GSa/sec realtime sample rate and 1 Billion point memory depth it shows that there will soon be a new player in the performance oscilloscope market.
Wolfgang Bartels, General Manager of RIGOL Europe says, “We are very excited for the introduction of products utilising the new Phoenix chipset. It will allow us to bring our unique RIGOL price performance value proposition to a new class of customers needing advanced instrument performance and application support. RIGOL will formally announce our first products utilising the Phoenix Chipset before the end of 2017 with initial customer shipments planned in Q4 2017.”


Google Launches AI-Powered Text-To-Speech Advancements
Cloud Text-To-Speech sees Google applying AI and neural networks to make speech processing 1000x faster.
Google is rolling out a new AI-backed voice service, Cloud Text-To-Speech, aimed at enabling any developer or business to synthesize speech on demand — whether for an app, website, or intelligent assistant.
Backed by WaveNet (which is powered by DeepMind, the AI-focused company Google purchased in 2014), the move sees Google doubling down on applying advances in AI to creating more seamless voice-based interactions — something that makes sense as consumers’ voice searches continue to skyrocket.
Per Google’s statement, “Cloud Text-to-Speech enables developers to synthesize natural-sounding speech with 30 voices, available in multiple languages and variants” — meaning that it’s now easier to create authentic interactions with users across devices.
The ‘Voice Future’ Is Now
While this update is a bit complex, spotlighting Google’s investments in both AI and building neural networks, it’s easy to see why it matters to marketers at its core: As more consumers interact with their devices via voice, it behooves brands to develop a voice strategy now, rather than lose out on interactions — and, potentially, on becoming a voice assistant’s top answer to searchers’ queries.
As Sherry Bonelli wrote earlier this month, “according to ComScore, by 2020, 50% of all searches will be voice searches. People are changing the way they search. We’re getting lazy and touching those tiny keypads on our smartphones is just too much work – so more and more of us are using our voice and normal every-day language to ask search queries to our computers, smartphones, tablets and smart voice assistants.”
And with WaveNet’s model backing Cloud Text-To-Speech now reportedly 1,000 times faster at processing speech — producing 20 seconds of higher quality audio in just one second — the future of voice has already taken a big leap forward.

WZZB 1390 Will Now Simulcast on 99.3 FM
As of July 18, 2016, WZZB 1390 is now simulcasting all programming on a new FM frequency, 99.3 which is a 24 hour FM frequency while maintaining their broadcast on AM1390.
According to Blair Trask co-owner of WZZB 1390 with his wife Kelly Trask, “This FM frequency allows listeners to enjoy programming WZZB offers on an FM Channel 24/7 which includes Adult Contemporary/Pop Music, Dave Ramsey show, Trinity High School Sports, and of course the much relied on news from Bud Shippee.”
In January of 2016 the FCC opened a window of filings for AM station owners to apply for an FM translator signal if available in a markets coverage area to allow the AM frequency to be broadcasted on a FM signal. Owners could purchase that signal giving the AM station an excellent opportunity for coverage within the same market using the FM translator station while continuing to broadcast on the AM 1390 channel. The FM frequency will not have to be turned down in the evening giving listeners WZZB coverage 24/7.
“This is an incredible opportunity for listeners to have another means of obtaining the news, weather, local sports and of course music they love. The addition of the FM signal will give listeners a music alternative in the area and allow more listeners to enjoy WZZB,” said Blair Trask.

• KENWOOD acknowledges short but growing list of smartphones compatible with its Wireless Android Auto-enabled multimedia receivers
• Google’s support page will maintain a growing list of compatible smartphones as they become available
• “From our standpoint, wireless Android Auto is fully functional. Our radios can communicate with any smartphone that has the right protocols. It’s just that, as of now, there are only a handful of phones that do, and these are currently all Google devices. But we fully expect more smartphone makers to enable the functionality in their devices, and when they do, our receivers will be ready.”
More smartphones to become compatible with Android OS 9.0 release
ADDENDUM: In our press release below, we indicated that future smartphones would require Android 9.0 OS to be compatible with KENWOOD multimedia receivers that feature Wireless Android Auto™. Google has informed us that, in addition to 9.0 devices, the company is working with several smartphone manufacturers to bring wireless compatibility to devices with Android 8.0 OS. According to Google, this compatibility will be available on select non-Google smartphones soon.
LONG BEACH, CALIF., May 9, 2018 (MEDIAWIRE) – In April, KENWOOD USA announced the wireless Android Auto™ feature built into its 2018 flagship multimedia receivers was active and compatible with select Android-based smartphones. The KENWOOD eXcelon Reference Series DNX995S and DDX9905S, as well as the KENWOOD eXcelon DMX905S and KENWOOD DNX875S and DDX9705S, allow the driver to leave the phone in a pocket or bag and still get the benefit of its powerful and useful feature set. Today, the company acknowledged the current smartphone compatibility list is small but growing.
Android Auto is the popular innovation from Google that lets drivers access certain apps and features on their smartphones—navigation, messaging, Google Assistant and more—from the ease and safety of the car radio’s multimedia touch screen. Until now, the function required a cable connection between the radio and smartphone. With the implementation of the wireless feature, the smartphone no longer requires a cable for Android Auto to function.
“From our standpoint, wireless Android Auto is fully functional,” said Rick Noetzli, general manager for KENWOOD product research and development, car electronics sector. “Our radios can communicate with any smartphone that has the right protocols. It’s just that, as of now, there are only a handful of phones that do, and these are currently all Google devices. But we fully expect more smartphone makers to enable the functionality in their devices, and when they do, our receivers will be ready.”
The only devices that currently support wireless Android Auto are four versions of the Google Pixel—the first-generation Pixel and Pixel XL and the second-generation Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL—and the legacy Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. They must be upgraded to Android OS 8.0 or higher (via an over-the-air upgrade). For other device manufacturers, wireless Android Auto will be implemented with the adoption of Android OS 9.0 or higher.
Most smartphone manufacturers will announce when software updates are available and when newer devices ship with the upgraded software. In addition, Google will maintain a compatibility list on its support page at https://support.google.com/androidauto. Under “Get started with Android Auto,” the current list of compatible smartphones is displayed under “Android Auto on your car (wireless).” (The location of this information is subject to change.)
All KENWOOD multimedia receivers that support wireless Android Auto offer full compatibility and smartphone charging through a wired connection. For detailed information on the specific features of each receiver, please view their product pages at kenwood.com/usa/car.

The mobile phones and wireless communication systems are increasingly gaining ground, even in many of the world's resource-limited countries. The rapid development of wireless technology has created new opportunities for reliable field-work data collection, which can be used for resource allocation, and aid distribution in catastrophe areas, or for developing long-standing health care solutions. An example of a technology partnership project is The mHealth Alliance, initiated by the United Nations (UN) and Vodafone Foundations, where mobile technology is used to support UN programs in developing countries.1
The global health and development of present days is facing unprecedented problems, as the global financial crisis has threatened the viability of national health care systems.2 The health services are today in many regions still inaccessible, or unaffordable, and the global burden of ill-health is increasingly inequitably distributed.2,3 In order to be able to respond adequately to emerging global threats with non-communicable diseases, or potential pandemics, health surveillance has never been more important.2 For example, considering the Millennium Development Goals (e.g. to ‘Improve maternal health’) of the UN,4 surveillance and improvement of maternal health will affect the whole communities in beneficial ways, starting with the children.
Another increasingly important aspect in the global health arena is that of the non-governmental organizations; special purpose funds and the private sector are becoming significant actors in the global partnership for development.3,5 Therefore, to motivate the need of health care support, it is important to have reliable epidemiological data reflecting the true needs of the population. Subsequently, it is also important to be able to measure the gains achieved through the support given with full transparency.6 To achieve this, in areas with relatively few health care professionals per capita,7,8 the equipment for field data registration, as well as the technology for data storage, needs to be flexible and easily adaptable to enable its use for both general health registrations, as well as for more detailed ones in the same system.9
The intensive development of telecom networks and mobile phone-based services in the emerging markets have led to the launch of new services that offer agricultural, market and health information via mobile phones.10 Even in remote areas, these phone- or computer-based services lead people to nearby clinics, and send text messages to explain symptoms of common diseases.10,11 Thus, in the global health context, a new era of telecom medical services is arising, and personal digital assistants (PDAs), or handheld computers, have found widespread use in various applications in health care settings.12,13 These systems are also increasingly compatible to already available mobile network systems almost all over the world.9 Thus, these wireless systems allow patient data collection and information retrieval under field-work conditions, or in hospital wards. In addition, computerized, or phone-based, data collection improves confidentiality and reliability, in comparison to handwritten registration methods (i.e. paper-and-pencil) for health surveillance.13
Available wireless systems are suitable for field-work environments almost everywhere, where some infrastructure or technology is available.10 A major design objective for fieldwork applications should be to create an easy-to-use interface, which has been shown to be a key factor for successful portable IT-support systems.9 It is also important that the system requirements facilitate data administration, before and after the field data registrations, for planning or research purposes.9 Therefore, this study was initiated with the aim to describe the development of a wireless IT-support system for field-work data collection and administration.
Material and Methods
The system design, construction, and implementation of the first version of the PDA application (MobilDent) for an IT-support system for field-work data collection was described in detail in a previous report.9 Briefly, the design objective behind MobilDent system was to develop and implement a mobile PDA system that would facilitate field-work and the administrative handling of data before and after the field-work registrations. The system requirements for MobilDent (Oral Care AB, Stockholm, Sweden) were collected, using a modified Question Option Criteria (QOC) design rationale.14 The system requirements drawn from the design objective were analyzed and translated to system functions, whereas the outlined system architecture was based on field-work experiences and administrative requirements for a back-office system.9 MobilDent was based on a platform with .NET (Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA, USA) components, using a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for data storage, with the Windows Server 2003 operating system. The MobilDent server application was made responsible for retrieving data from field data repository, data translation and formatting for database storage and administrative purposes. For secure data storage the MobilDent database runs on a SQL server with redundant drives in a secure server hotel. A full database backup is done daily and the tape is stored at a separate physical location. To further develop the system the older PDAs were exchanged to Smartphone devices, and the back-office user interface was modernized. In addition, a wireless synchronization system was developed to facilitate download of field data.
The PDAs in the upgraded MobilDent 2.2 application were exchanged to Smartphone devices, HTC Touch Diamond2s (HTC Europe Co. Ltd., Slough, UK). The system was based on a platform with Microsoft .NET components, using a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for data storage, with the Windows Server 2003 operating system.9 The user interfaces were based on .NET programming, and a Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system, with user-friendly data entry screens suitable for efficient data collection and field-work administration on a Smartphone display (Figure 1).
As previously, the back-office and the database system were utilized for patient data administration and data storage, and the MobilDent 2.2 back-office interface was designed to enable administration and database handling on different displays suitable for administration on a normal-sized computer screen (Figure 2).9 However, in the upgraded MobilDent 2.2 system a synchronization module was connected via a General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) to a Local Area Network (LAN) interface to enable download of field data from the Smartphone devices to the back-office and the database systems.
The original MobilDent system has been used since January 2006 for oral health data collection in outreach dentistry field-work in Sweden.9 The registrations in the current application were related to different aspects of oral health, but may easily be modified to bespoke data collection purposes.
The MobilDent system was further developed as a response to a demand for an efficient administration in a growing field-work organization. For health care of elderly, as well as for other field-work conditions, mobile systems are very suitable since it may be difficult for the patients to access professional health care facilities. During the system design it was considered important that the field-workers would be able to collect the required patient data conveniently. In addition, it was important that the administration before and after the field-work would be rationalized with a high level of data security. Therefore, a major design objective was to create an easy-to-use interface, previously characterized to be the most successful factor for mobile care systems.15 Thus, the chosen system architecture was a trade-off between the requirements of a state-of-the-art data collection system and a pragmatic tool for the field-workers.16 Experiences gained from field-work with the new MobilDent 2.2 system revealed that the MobilDent Smartphone devices were considered feasible, user-friendly and almost self-instructing. Among the office administrators the general impression was that MobilDent 2.2 back-office system had an easy-to-navigate interface, which facilitated retrieval of health reports and invoices for purchasers. The MobilDent database is now growing by >40,000 oral health records per year, and is considered a valuable data source for care planning, educational purposes, epidemiological research, and resource allocation (Figure 3). In addition, the collected data may be used for prognostic purposes when the need of care, or health promotion, within a certain geographical area is planned in the future. The MobilDent 2.2 back-office administration system has also further rationalized the administration by eliminating a vast amount of paper sheets that previously had to be hand-written and stored. Furthermore, the time span between the health assessments and the actual care provided has diminished, and the risk of missing patients in need of care has been virtually eliminated.
Available wireless systems are suitable for field-work environments almost anywhere in the world where, at least, some infrastructure and technology is available.10 These modern data collection systems are small, relatively cheap, and almost self-instructing. Therefore, a mobile data collection system often pays back its investment costs relatively quickly.10 Not even a complete IT-support system needs to require considerable investments, since standard components may be used to construct the system, and open source operating systems are readily available.11 The wireless data collection systems may be designed to be adaptable for bespoke user applications, with relatively little re-programming. This is very useful for fieldwork organizations, since the surveys need to be changed or modified on a regularly basis. Wireless synchronization to databases also diminishes the lead time between data collection and decision-making, and also increases the reliability of data by elimination sources of discrepancies in the administrative processes. The handheld devices may also run in parallel with Global Positioning Systems, and the collected data may be displayed in the back-office system interface with a Geographic Information System.17 Importantly, a mobile field-work data collection system needs to be able to instantly transmit the collected data to a central database, where the collected information can be analyzed and used for rapid resource allocation within a certain geographical area, or for prognostic purposes. On-demand or real-time wireless synchronization to a back-office system is especially important in catastrophe areas. However, in any context, it will rationalize the administration routines by eliminating a vast amount of, previously hand-written, paper sheets.9,13 Thus, instead of administration, the field-work staff may rather focus on the data collection procedures as well as the remedies to-follow.
Mobile PDA- or phone-based systems present excellent opportunities for field-work data collection. The current IT-support system facilitates short lead times from field-work data registration to analysis, and is suitable for various field-work applications. The advantages of wireless technology, and paper-free data administration need to be increasingly emphasized in development programs, in order to facilitate reliable and transparent use of limited resources.
