Direction finding and locating systems are typically used in aerospace and defense, law enforcement, homeland security, public safety and other fields to detect and locate electronic signals. Why ruggedized electronics are critical components of Direction Finding and Locating Systems? This whitepaper highlights the modern rugged computer and network technology for deployment in hostile environments of extreme temperature and vehicle-caused shock, including an explanation of working and benefits of signal detection technology. Key takeaways from this whitepaper: Armed forces installation Rugged, robust hardware required Rugged networking needs The comprehensive, ground-based system attributes transportable shelters, antennas, rugged electronic gear, and processing software that can withstand years of use in extreme conditions.

In digital electronics, effective thermal management comprises a vast number of design considerations that must be accounted for before fielding computational hardware for low maintenance installations into high stress environments and operating conditions. Simply powering on a server and measuring the current without taking these variables into consideration will almost always result in misleading data that could lead to system design issues that drive confounding perplexity under different operating, environmental, and/or randomly due to die variations. This whitepaper describes the various physical properties of semiconductor technology that contribute to power consumption in digital processors and supporting chipsets found in computational server hardware. Key takeaways from this whitepaper: Contributors to power consumption and dissipation Total power as a function of static and dynamic power Die to die variation and utilization

Embedding design into your product development process from the beginning is not only better for the user, it adds more to your business value. Integrating design into your product development process enables you to do that by incorporating user feedback, prototypes and focus groups into the mix to create a product with more depth and breadth in your market. This whitepaper addresses the three questions that great designers ask in the development process that lead to killer products, what MIT found about the design-led organization and more. Design from the beginning- Involving designers at the genesis of the product design process When less is more- Greater costs in terms of materials and man hours The need for a designer’s perspective- Design aids product development Explore what makes a market WOW, not just a market win.
