Manage Your Raw Flash Storage Data with ITTIA DB SQL

July 31, 2012 — Bellevue, WA — Whenever power removal is suspected, developers of applications for mobile devices and other embedded systems tend to use EEPROM hardware for storing small quantities of data that must be saved. EEPROM devices are equipped with serial flash – a small, low-power flash memory, which is frequently accessible through a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). In order to retrieve data, an EEPROM requires each write operation to begin at an aligned offset, which necessitates batched writes to avoid excessive ware.

ITTIA DB SQL eases this process by supplying raw storage flash media with robust data management capabilities … Read More → "Manage Your Raw Flash Storage Data with ITTIA DB SQL"

Meggitt Sensing Systems Endevco® ISOTRON® Triaxial Accelerometers Support Aerospace Reliability Testing

July 20, 2012, San Juan Capistrano, California, USA – Meggitt Sensing Systems, a Meggitt group division, has announced the successful application of its Endevco® model 65 triaxial ISOTRON® (IEPE-type) accelerometer series to support the rigorous demands of aerospace reliability testing.

Among the most critical of aerospace testing requirements is jet engine fuel control module reliability. Each module must be fully tested for vibration on a shaker, simulating actual use conditions, as well as evaluated for continued performance with fuel flowing through the unit. For this type of requirement, Endevco® model 65 series accelerometers installed on the modules simultaneously measure their … Read More → "Meggitt Sensing Systems Endevco® ISOTRON® Triaxial Accelerometers Support Aerospace Reliability Testing"

White Sands tests show GPS ‘spoofing’ can be countered

ITHACA, N.Y. – From cars to commercial airplanes to military drones, global positioning system technology is everywhere, and researchers have known for years that it can be hacked or “spoofed.”

Now, the best defense, Cornell University researchers say, is a good offense — by detecting false signals and creating countermeasures that unscrupulous GPS spoofers can’t deceive.

Researchers led by Mark Psiaki, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, got to test their latest protections against GPS spoofing during a Department of Homeland Security-sponsored demonstration last month in the New Mexico desert at the White Sands Missile … Read More → "White Sands tests show GPS ‘spoofing’ can be countered"
