Imagining the cop car of the future

As the Los Angeles Auto Show gets ready to open its doors next week they’ve given the public an advance look at their annual design challenge. This year’s theme, chosen by the Design Los Angeles Board of Directors, tackles what kind of vehicle we might be seeing in our rear view mirrors in the future — namely the cop car.

The challenge was called Highway Patrol Vehicle 2025. It’s a timely topic as the cars civilians are driving are advancing and self-driving cars are becoming a reality; the police vehicle needs to evolve with the times as well.

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.
