Title Date Added Company

Developed a Feature Rich Speed Controller Board for a Leading Air Conditioning Company That Would Equip the Client to Be First Mover in the Market 2008-01-26 MindTree Consulting

The client wanted to take to market the All Electric Air Conditioning System for large vehicles. The system would control evaporator fan speeds to ensure uniform temperature control and increase safety. MindTree leveraged its expertise in hardware design and development to develop a microcontroller based system with enhanced features that reduced the time to market for the final product. The new design reduced the product cost without compromising on safety and reliability.

MSDN Webcast: Windows Embedded for Point of Service and Retail Solutions (Level 200) 2008-01-24 Microsoft

45-nm Manufacturing Creating the Next Wave of Quad-Core Processors

This Might Be the Last Place You'd Expect to Find an Intel Processor 2008-01-01 Intel

Finding a processing platform that runs so efficiently has been challenging for developers like GD Canada. Proprietary technology can offer the performance and power efficiency needed, but such solutions are often vendor-specific, take a very long time to develop and deploy, and can be quite costly to maintain, let alone upgrade. Intel really attacked the thermal output and power consumption problem when they came out with the Intel Pentium M processor and associated chipsets. Shortly after Intel launched the Intel Pentium M processor, the U.S. Army announced the Future Combat System (FCS) program, a move to standardize the Army's entire vehicle computing infrastructure on a common product.

An Innovative Tool to Benchmark Smartphone Operating Systems 2008-01-01 Jakajima

Jakajima, a knowledge and information provider for the telecom, ICT, and consumer-electronics trade chain, noticed that no real benchmark has been developed for Smartphone Operating Systems, while the importance of the smartphone and its' OS is growing rapidly. Together with Eindhoven University of Technology, Jakajima has developed a benchmark for these Operating systems. With this benchmark, Jakajima and Eindhoven University of Technology offer the market (OS developers, application developers, hardware suppliers, operators etc.) new innovative tools to compare their mobile products and/or applications in an independent way. The benchmark is an ideal tool in any phase of a product; during concept, development and deployment. This paper provides the approach, methodology and some results.

Architecture Firm Enhances Productivity, Simplifies IT Management With New Software 2008-01-01 Microsoft

A rapidly-growing design firm, Martelli Architects needs to use technology innovations to stay competitive. The company became an early adopter of the Windows Vista Business operating system to take advantage of better user efficiency and IT management. Now users are able to navigate their computers and the company network more quickly and connect from remote locations more easily, while taking advantage of a computing environment that offers optimized IT security.

Danish Foreign Ministry Enhances IT Security and Efficiency With New Operating System 2008-01-01 Microsoft

Recent expansion by the Danish Foreign Ministry challenged its need to operate under secure conditions, while using often limited and inconsistent connections. The Ministry urgently needed to adopt new workstation operating systems that offered enhanced security features, communication potential for remote users, and centralized administration. The Ministry upgraded 2,100 workstations to Windows Vista Enterprise, which provides enhanced security, search, and remote access functions.

The Evolutionary Path: Things You Can Do Today to Prepare for Oracle Fusion Applications 2008-01-01 Oracle

Oracle's next-generation applications are being designed to harness best of business capabilities from all of the applications into a complete suite delivered on Oracle's open technology. Until then, there are a number of things one can do to get ready. These steps will not only prepare the organization for the power of Oracle Fusion Applications but will also help optimize the business procedures and reenergize the enterprise with Oracle Applications Unlimited today.

The Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) 2008-01-01 Microsoft

This white paper reviews the ongoing OMB and NIST Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) program at an executive level. It provides information on how the program originated, its current status and source data for additional information. The concept of enhancing PC and network security while also reducing the total cost of ownership first took shape on a large enterprise scale in the US Air Force. During the 2004-2006 timeframe, the Air Force, partnering with Microsoft, developed the Standard Desktop Configuration (SDC) and successfully deployed the SDC image on over 435,000 desktops and laptops.

How IT Should Compare Mobile Platforms 2008-01-01 Microsoft

When deploying mobile technology, think beyond the devices themselves and consider how they will integrate into the corporate infrastructure. The enterprise IT department planning to deploy or update its mobile technology platform may think it is blessed with choices. While 97 percent of the North American and European enterprise PCs run on Windows, no one operating system garners the market for handhelds. There are four mobile operating systems to choose from: Microsoft Windows Mobile, Research in Motion BlackBerry OS, PalmOS, and Symbian; the impact of Apple's OS X on the iPhone is yet to be seen.
