The official US kilogram — the physical prototype against which all weights in the United States are calibrated — cannot be touched by human hands except in rare circumstances. Sealed beneath a bell ...

One way smart companies reduce the risk of error is by creating and testing prototype packages. Prototyping facilitates conversation and decision making, drives ...

Monterey Design Systems has released Version 2.1 of its Sonar physical-prototyping product, which extends the product's capabilities beyond creating physical prototypes. By producing a fully placed, ...

Prototyping is an integral part of every SoC today, with two main approaches being used: virtual or software-based, and physical, which includes FPGA-based boards as well as hardware emulation systems ...

Using a built-in synthesis engine, version 2.1 of the Sonar physical prototyper can generate an accurate physical prototype of a digital IC design in less than 1/25th the time it takes to fully place ...

Every product starts with a prototype, and prototyping can be a long, costly process. But Canon is launching a new visual tool called the MR (Mixed Reality) System that marries the physical and ...

Gone are the days of build it, and they will come. Now entrepreneurs are putting more focus on developing prototypes, as they show what works and doesn't, generates customer feedback and helps ...

Prototyping can prove -- or disprove -- the value of your design ideas. This Engineering Essentials article covers the basic concepts behind early software development, virtual platforms for hardware ...

Having discussed prototypes that are created before the existence of RTL, or model the hardware at a higher level of abstraction, we now turn out attention to those prototypes that are at the RT level ...
