whitepaper The Advantages of Row and Rack-Oriented Cooling Architectures for Data Centers2006-06-23 American Power Conversion (APC)
  Room cooling is an ineffective approach for next-generation data centers. Latest generation high density and variable density IT equipment create conditions that room cooling was never intended to address, resulting in cooling systems that are inefficient, unpredictable, and low in power density. Row-oriented and rack-oriented cooling architectures have been developed to address these problems. This paper contrasts room, row, and rack architectures and shows why row-oriented cooling will emerge as the preferred solution for most next generation data centers.

whitepaper Applying RFID Technology in High Volume Manufacturing2005-09-01 Intel
  To explore the impact of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology in manufacturing, Intel's Technology and Manufacturing Group deployed an RFID pilot within Intel's largest semiconductor assembly and test facility. The pilot tracked 80,000 microprocessors from the end of the manufacturing line through Intel's warehouse, into a major customer's warehouse, and onto the customer's factory floor. The pilot yielded key learning's about the technology's value and limitations, RFID systems performance, and business process ramifications. RFID technology is maturing, and the recent evolution of global RFID standards is leading many manufacturers to accelerate their investigations of its potential and implications.

whitepaper IDC: IBM Engineering and Technology Offering Explores New Opportunities in Engineering Outsourcing2003-05-01 IBM
  This IDC white paper reviews the offerings of IBM's Engineering and Technology Services (E&TS) group, which provides product development and engineering services for companies that need to outsource those critical functions. Among IBM's E&TS offerings are:
  • Design services
  • Product life-cycle management (PLM) IT services
  • Electronics manufacturing service (EMS) design and engineering services
  • Original design manufacturer (ODM) services
The paper highlights both the strengths that IBM brings to bear in this market sector as well as challenges it needs to overcome. It's a must-read if you have a need for these types of services but lack in-house engineering expertise.

whitepaper FPGA-Based Data Acquisition System for a Compton Camera2003-01-01 Reed Elsevier
  A Data Acquisition (DAQ) system with custom back-plane and custom readout boards has been developed for a Compton camera prototype. The DAQ system consists of two layers. The first layer has units for parallel high-speed analog-to-digital conversion and online data pre-processing. The second layer has a central board to form a general event trigger and to build the data structure for the event. This modularity and the use of field programmable gate arrays make the whole DAQ system highly flexible and adaptable to modified experimental setups. The design specifications, the general architecture of the Trigger and DAQ system and the implemented readout protocols are presented in this paper.

whitepaper Managing Innovation Through Market Discontinuity0000-00-00 Booz Allen Hamilton
  The impact of rapid innovation on business dynamics has been examined using semiconductor companies in the wireless device market as a case study. Semiconductor companies can be divided into three business models based on their value chain focus: technology focused, mixed model and full scale. Each model needs to respond uniquely to the challenge of rapid innovation. At the highest level, all companies need to ensure that they have developed partnering as a core competency. Technology focused companies need to build alliances around the extended enterprise to increase market access.
