New Visualization Technologies Go Beyond the Screen| Earth Imaging Journal
Defense and homeland security mission planning and operations managers need an in-depth understanding of an operational area’s terrain. Three-dimensional (3-D) computer applications, while more effective than 2-D media, are giving way to even newer visualization techniques for defense applications rooted in a wide range of technologies that go beyond the computer screen.

Mobile Technologies: Bringing Information to the Edge| Homeland Security Asia
An important part of any emergency plan is developing a system for communication among the organisations and individuals that need to work together to respond effectively to an incident. Voice communications are critical. However, a communication system that supports both voice and data is imperative for effective and well-coordinated first responder missions.

Trends and Technologies in Embedded AMLCD Monitors| ECN
In recent years, the emphasis for flat panel displays in embedded applications shifted from performance to price. As the display market continues to mature, however, OEMs are finding that new display technologies can add value and differentiation to their products, reduce product operating expenses and improve lifetime performance. In many cases, these new display technologies — which may add initial costs — will more than recoup their value over the product’s lifetime.

Integration Issues Drive Safety-Critical RTOS Choice| COTS Journal
Many developers of safety-critical software such as avionics are considering corporate-wide site licenses for real-time operating systems and integrated development environments. However, for the highest levels of criticality, developers may need to consider the technical capabilities of the RTOS and the development environment separately to make sure that the system will meet all present and future certification requirements.

Setting the Stage for Good Machine Design| Machine Design
Motion-control systems consist of three main components: the positioning mechanism, motor drive electronics, and motion controller. Each of these components should be carefully selected but for best system results, plan the positioning mechanism first. If the mechanism is not capable of meeting the requirements, the drives and motion controller cannot make up the difference.

Design Embedded Displays for a Lasting Impression| EDN
Flat-panel displays not only provide the primary human interface for many embedded systems but also define their look and feel. Make sure your product's display creates a positive first impression.

Optimizing Resident Flash Arrays in Windows CE Devices| Windows Developer
Native support for resident flash devices has been missing from the Windows CE OS. Programmers have to handle details such as power interruptions, bad sectors, and memory optimization on their own. FlashFX is memory-management software that helps with these challenges.

Current Trends in Active-Matrix Liquid-Crystal Displays| Medical Electronics
With their high resolution, bright and clear colors, and fast video-response times, traditional cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitors have long had a place alongside medical equipment. However, the lead that CRTs have been enjoying is beginning to narrow.
