Sounding Out Cool MEMS Technology

Piezoelectric-based MEMS have been used for sensors, but they can also be used as actuators to do things like move air and fluids. One thing that can be done is to implement a tiny speaker using this technology.  
In this episode, xMEMS Labs’ Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, Mike Housholder, talks about his company's device. You can also watch the demos in our video, Making MEMS Move Air and Fluids for Fun and Cooling.

Time Sensitive Networking and Industrial Systems

This is the first of a series of Inside Electronic podcasts addressing time sensitive networking (TSN). TSN is a set of IEEE 802.1 standards managed by the TSN Task Group. In this episode, Dave Cavalcanti, Principal Engineer at the Edge Computing Group at Intel and President of Avnu Alliance. He talks about TSN in general as well as important issues like interoperability that this common standard provides.  

Introduction to SNIA Storage.AI

Supporting artificial intelligence's (AI) insatiable need for compute and storage is why SNIA put together the Storage.AI project. This webinar introduces the project's goals and the standards it will encompass. 
Storage.AI will help deliver efficient data services related to AI workloads. How AI workloads utilize storage impacts cost, power, and performance. This discussion touches on the urgent problems in data services, especially around how storage interacts with compute.

Security and Safety in the Cloud and IoT

The plethora of smart, connected devices has created a variety of new opportunities for how we work, live, and interact, but has also introduced data privacy and security risks. Security has been an issue in society ever since people had things of value to protect, and finally, most people now recognize the critical need for safety in the Internet and cybersecurity. In this episode, we talk to Denis Noël, Director & Head of Product Marketing, Secure Connected Edge, NXP, about security in the Cloud and IoT.

Addressing Advanced Antenna Design

Our wireless world is an integral part of life today, with almost every powered device being made now smarter and more connected than ever before. However, for all the amazing functionality provided by these advanced embedded systems and software, without the right antenna, nothing works well, if at all. In this episode, we talk to Aitor Moreno, Cloud Product Manager at Ignion, about advanced antenna design and tools. 

Looking at the Future of Automotive Development

There are many things in our lives that we have created that are important to our very ability to function as a society, and vehicles are among those things. The invention of the car literally changed society almost overnight, and every advance in society since has manifested itself in the automotive world, from the radio to the tape deck to satellite navigation to the Cloud and IoT. In this episode, we talk to Suraj Gajendra, Vice President - Products & Software Solutions. Automotive Business at Arm, about the trends and technologies driving the development of automotive systems today.

Renesas 365: One Tool to Develop Them All

Electronic Design's William Wong talks with Renesas’ Vice President and Head of Customer Success and Digital Industries at Renesas about their new web-based, hardware/software design tool, Renesas 365.  
Renesas 365 is designed to link different design groups as systems develop from a functional model to hardware to software that runs on the system. It provides the scaffolding to quickly design and build a system including support for hardware development platforms that incorporate Renesas silicon.  

The Expansion of AI and Edge Computing in the Cloud

Our society is continuing to adopt more connectivity in products and solutions, and these systems are expanding the Cloud and IoT in leaps and bounds. Edge computing, created to address bandwidth and latency issues in Cloud-based systems, is rapidly being enhanced by the addition of AI. In this episode, we talk to Axel Stoermann, Chief Technology Officer & VP at KIOXIA Europe, about his observations of the industry. 

Economic Development from the Community Point of View

The electronic design industry is always in a pattern of development and re-development as it forges into the future. But what about the communities involved? There are two sides to that story: the customers in the community, who use the products and services created, and the municipalities and governments looking for investment and development. In this episode, we talk to Don Cunningham, President and CEO of Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation, about the challenges and opportunities communities face in an evolving industrial environment. 

The Future of Advanced Embedded Systems

Our connected and intelligent world is based on advanced embedded systems that are in a state of disruptive evolution and upward migration. In this podcast, we sit down with Jim Beneke, who is with Tria, an Avnet company. Tria develops embedded compute solutions and was formerly MSC Technologies.
