Back in August, Smithsonian Magazine took an in-depth look at prosthetic limbs and artificial organs, with one of its main subjects being a true “Bionic Man.” A team of scientists and researchers at the University of Zurich were able to recreate more than 50 percent of the human body using the “most sophisticated” prosthetics and artificial organs (like a full circulatory system) available, and now the Bionic Man is going to show itself to the world at large. A new documentary entitled The Incredible Bionic Man will air on the Smithsonian Channel this Sunday at 9:00PM ET, and those located in the Washington, DC area will get a chance to “meet” the creation for themselves.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
