Agile Analog Makes the Analog Parts of SoC Design Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy

I sometimes joke that I’d bend over backwards to be flexible and that I’d give my right arm to be ambidextrous (I didn’t say they were good jokes). Now, following a recent excursion into wibbly-wobbly analog space (where no one can hear you scream), I’m tempted to say that I’d jump through hoops to be more agile.

Intelligent Modularity and a Holistic Approach for Rugged System Development

What do intelligent modularity, parametric design for reuse and reconfiguration in rugged system development, and robots inspired by jellyfish have in common? This week’s Fish Fry podcast! Bill Pilaud (LCR Embedded Systems) and I discuss how intelligent modularity can make chassis design more efficient, how parametric design can enable reuse and reconfiguration in rugged system development, and how these approaches reflect a holistic approach for military … Read More → "Intelligent Modularity and a Holistic Approach for Rugged System Development"

Join the Innovation Revolution with NextFlex and Manufacturing USA!

I have to say that I’m flabbergasted. In fact, I don’t think it would be unfair to say that rarely has my flabber been quite so gasted. The reason for my current state of high-gast is that I just received some frabjous intelligence with respect to enhancing our manufacturing capabilities here in the USA.

One of the things … Read More → "Join the Innovation Revolution with NextFlex and Manufacturing USA!"
