Organic photovoltaics on steel: ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe and Solliance researching applications for the new generation of solar cells

November 29, 2012

November 29, 2012 – Leuven (Belgium) – ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe and Solliance (ECN, imec, TNO, Holst Centre, TU/e, Forschungszentrum Jülich) are counting on a highly promising form of power generation: organic photovoltaics (OPV). OPVs are flexible solar cells made of light-active plastics and can be manufactured by cost-effective processes suitable for large-scale production. They may be less efficient than previous rigid solar cells based on silicon but they offer the potential to be made in large quantities at low cost and with reduced resource use. They therefore offer advantages when used on large surfaces, for example on roofs and facades … Read More → "Organic photovoltaics on steel: ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe and Solliance researching applications for the new generation of solar cells"

Impulse CoDeveloper Release 3.7 Compiles ANSI C to Altera Quartus Qsys Release 12.0

November 29, 2012

Bellevue Washington, 28 November 2012. Impulse Accelerated Technologies announced the availability of Impulse C and CoDeveloper revision 3.7, which compiles C algorithms to Altera’s Quartus revision 12 Qsys software. This enables software developers to more easily compile C based algorithms for the fastest integration into Altera Stratix and Cyclone FPGAs.

Software developers increasingly use FPGAs to accelerate compute-bound microprocessor algorithms. But they frequently encounter three problems: Most software developers are not familiar with VHDL, Verilog and hardware design in general. #2 most do not fully understand the nature of hardware resources on FPGA no less on an FPGA based development board. #3 … Read More → "Impulse CoDeveloper Release 3.7 Compiles ANSI C to Altera Quartus Qsys Release 12.0"
