Flying lampshadeBots come alive in Cirque du Soleil performance

by Larra Morris

ETH Zurich’s Flying Machine Arena has spawned all kinds of mind blowingquadrotor tricks over the years, so it’s not at all surprising that it’s also spawned a spin-off performance company to take some of those tricks out into the world for the rest of us to enjoy. Verity Studios is combining ETH Zurich’s experience with precision flying robots with the wild imaginations of creatives like Cirque du Soleil, starting with a short film called “Sparked” featuring a swarm of quadrotors with lampshades on their heads.

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.
