SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 19, 2010 — Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that the Infiniium 90000 X-Series oscilloscope has been selected as the winner of the prestigious Electron d’Or (gold electron) award in the “Instrumentation” category. The 90000 X-Series was selected unanimously by a jury of experts from industry, the press and academic research.

The Electron d’Or award competition is sponsored annually by the French electronics magazine ElectroniqueS to recognize innovation in 12 areas of electronics. The Agilent 90000 X-Series won against strong competition from other nominees including products from Tektronix, National Instruments and LeCroy. This is the third time … Read More → "Agilent Technologies’ Infiniium 90000 X-Series Oscilloscope Wins Electron d’Or 2010 Award for Innovation"

Faster than Reality

July 20, 2010

It better be fast.

Whatever it is, whatever it does, it’s all good as long as it’s fast.

We live for speed in our supercharged world. After all, we’ve gone from a society that used to survive on one breadwinner per family to a society with two breadwinners as the norm to the point where some people have to have multiple jobs just so they don’t fall behind. (Well, in the US, anyway.) So we’ … Read More → "Faster than Reality"
