Adaptive Automation - Peter
Raeth
Whatŭs adaptive automation, anyway? Peter covers many topics including
technology transition in distributed processing, man/machine interfaces,
and signal analysis.
Automotive Electronics - Matt
LaDuke
Matt's pages feature articles on car audio systems, environmental
stresses on auto electronics, and a primer on vehicle electrical
systemsas well as pages of links to reference material.
Code Optimization - David
Gilbert, Bill Sprouse, Steve Hendrix
Three Code Optimization Specialists team up to present both practical
and theoretical approaches to creating code that really FLIES. These
EE Experts show you exactly what your microprocessor demands in
order to give you the best possible performance from your code.
Communications Security
- John Leiseboer
Data integrity, encryption algorithms, key management and so much
more are featured in John's ChipCenter section.
Embedded Engineering - Robert
Ashby
Ever wonder what people really mean when the toss around the jargon
"Embedded System"? Robert offers some ideas that will help you create
more efficient, cost-effective, and smoother running designs.
Embedding Mixed-Signal - Walter
Morrey (Still available from archives)
Walt's design experience spans over 30 years of working with problems
as diverse as high-resolution medical systems, ultrasound scanners,
nuclear-radiation-hard guidance, and audio preamps.
Intellectual Property - Brian
Elfman
A successful engineer-entrepreneur, Brian Elfman probes the increasing
importance of IP to engineers in his columns and chooses his topics
accordingly.
MIDI and Linux - Gerry Dorman
Gerry is one of the Webŭs old hands. An early advocate of music
on the Internet, he has untold numbers of MIDI files at his fingertips.
Heŭs also an avid Linux user and likes to keep us up to date on
that OS—from an EEŭs perspective.
Portable Instrumentation -
Steve Hendrix
By straddling the fence between hardware and software (firmware),
you can use two approaches to produce much cleaner firmware. Not
only are tricky interactions between different code segments eliminated,
but appropriate high-level language declarations can produce crystal-clear,
maintainable code.
Real-Time Processing - Dr.
Barry Henderson
Although Barry will be looking at Real-time Processing using DSPs,
FPGAs, and uCs, it will be next to impossible to keep him from discussing
motion vector and image recognition software, modern boat radar,
and high-speed mixed-signal board design.
Reliability Engineering - Robert
Poltz
While all engineering products and processes need to have reliability
designed into them to minimize or mitigate failure, the very nature
of some products and processes necessitate that reliability engineering
in the form of reliability prediction and reliability analysis be
integral to the design process at all levels.
Spectral Analysis - Bob Masta
(Still available from archives)
Hereŭs an intriguing thought: ŭAll you ever needed to know about
Fourier transforms, you learned in high school.ŭ Bob sets out to
prove it in his series of columns.
Telecommunications - A.T.
Sivaram (Still available from archives)
Mr. Sivaram develops IP modules for telecom applications and creates
custom solutions for SoC and SONET product applications.
Workstations and IC
Design Tools - Earl Reinkensmeyer (Still available from archives)
The OS quandary in EDA, pitfalls in using IP cores, and hardware/software
codesign are among the topics Earl addresses from his perspective
as president of an engineering consulting firm.
