Human life is often inseparable from the ubiquitous building, be it for work, entertainment, shopping, or the home. As the buildings differ, so do their demands for electricity; but as time goes by, the demand tends to increase. To face the rising want for energy, two approaches have arisen. The first is alternative energy solutions (like wind and solar power). This is not always an easy approach because of the high start-up cost, which not every individual or entity can take.The second approach involves streamlining the use of energy: avoiding unnecessary waste of energy. Simply turning off unneeded devices can cut consumption drastically; yet the public is sometimes slow to pick this mindset up. And so we turn to automation as the fundamental solution, which is why we refer our customers to our smart home showroom in Wuhan.Electricity pervades all modern life - from steam power we went speedily to electricity, which now powers a huge majority of our lifestyles. It gives us light, keeps us warm (or cool), preserves our food, and entertains us by powering our many devices.Statistics say that lighting and air conditioning make up 70% of a building's energy consumption, making the two prime for pruning in order to save energy. By trimming waste from unneeded air conditioning and lighting, the savings are immediately apparent in that 70% consumption.Completely ceasing to use electricity is hardly an option. The only question, then, is how one should optimize usage of electricity. The obvious solution is to get people to manually switch them on and off as needed - but in a busy work environment, who actually actively keeps score on when it's needlessly bright or warm? Automation comes to the rescue of the people who have better things to do than fret about every bulb in the building.If the demand for electricity is traced to the environment inconveniencing efforts to save energy, then the integration of environmental factors is essential.Using dimmers, for example, can go a long way to saving energy for those who need light but not 100% of it. By studying light usage in an environment and converting the data into procedures, an all-around lighting solution is in reach that intelligently adjusts lighting as needed. Data acquisition has long been a specialty of ICP DAS - by combining sensors with data, one will see a great improvement in energy savings and take a fair burden off the users.One touch turns everything offAn all-in-one key is convenient, not only for simple building management but also for the last-out patrolmen who have to sweep the building to make sure that everything has been turned off. Instead of manually passing through the whole building, toggling all the power from one place is the way to go. The exhibition center places a TouchPAD at the entrance to each room with a one-touch "all off" option to smoothly turn everything off on your way out. Turning out the lights has never been so easy.Building automation frameworkThe quality of a complete system architecture is determined by the combined performances of both hardware and software. Most systems are built from the ground up with a specific structure in mind; many are unfortunately rigid and difficult to adapt for special cases. Is not the best case one where the system is both well-structure and flexible? ICP DAS answers the call again.Building model vs system modelThe Wuhan Exhibition Center is complete with a bedroom, living room, conference room, and reception hall - the five areas most likely to need an intelligent system. The Exhibition aims to be as all-encompassing as possible to cover most of the likely demands that a customer could have.Built to operate within building engineering standards, the TouchPAD from ICP DAS can correspond with a variety of control groups; for example, the LC-103 comes with three relays to control lighting, the LC-221 controls 0 - 10V LED dimming, and the IR-210 infrared controls air conditioning, television, and music. Finally, we worked out a solution based on an idea called "subsystem," one subsystem maps to a room or an area that contains all of the most basic control, when we utilize subsystem concept, it will no longer be a single switch controlling a single device as in the past, subsystem will simplify our works and provides an interface for us to control all things.SubsystemsThe latest TouchPADs have multi-channel communications that show off the highest performance of distributed systems. Control can be extended sequentially, one room at a time, from bedroom to living room to conference room to office to reception hall - and in the end, the whole setup can be threaded through the web and controlled remotely with mobile integration of SCADA to manage everything at once. Not only do we see an increased flexibility at work, but also a superior form of communication.Optional FunctionsWeb and mobile control co-exist harmoniously in WinPAC; both can benefit from augmenting the system with additional sensors. For example, a light sensor could detect low levels and brighten up the room to compensate; a temperature sensor could distinguish uncomfortable temperatures and make the appropriate adjustments. These automatic adjustments do not override the usual controls, merely serving to increase the utility of the overall system. They can be safely tacked on as per customers' needs without introducing complications in control.Implementation Cost and Energy EfficiencyIn terms of the general-use control kit plus housing, implementation costs about NT$90,000 (US$3,000). For an annual electric bill of NT$25,000, ICP DAS estimates as much as 40% savings on energy - typically in the area of NT$7,000. This means that one breaks even in about a decade - whereupon the benefits really begin to kick in from the energy savings.Data acquisition has long been a specialty of ICP DAS - by combining sensors with dataPhoto: Company

IBASE Technology (TASDAQ: 8050), a world-leading manufacturer of industrial motherboards and embedded systems, has launched the latest IDOOH-210 digital out-of-home sunlight readable panel PC. The unit is an innovative digital out-of-home (DOOH) system that is suitable for both indoor and outdoor deployment. It is manufactured to meet stringent quality standards and requirements for reliability. Not only does it support 24-hour operation in extended temperature range from -40 degrees C and up to +50 degrees C (+122 degrees F), its IP65 rated enclosure makes it dust-tight and water resistant.The IDOOH-210 has a 21-inch sunlight readable LCD display panel that provides sufficient screen brightness for good image quality. However, during nighttime conditions, the inverter allows for a wider dimming range to dynamically adjust luminance. The touch screen offers heat insulation for effective thermal protection against aging and UV. Infrared energy is reduced by approximately 80% and UV decreased to less than 1%, but still, 70% of visible light can pass through. Outdoor touch screen kiosks are popularly used in drive-thru ordering stations and designed to withstand the rigors of heavy use but also built to work in harsh environments, resisting dust and fluid intrusion. The IBASE IDOOH-210 system is an excellent choice for this and other harsh and outdoor kiosk applications such as digital signage, ticketing and vending machines.Thermal controlIBASE has put a lot of effort into designing the system to overcome issues pertaining to temperature. Based on IBASE owned thermal separation and isolation patent, an airflow-control device has been integrated into the system to calculate the airflow speed needed at various temperatures and the isolation air space setting. This maximizes thermal dissipation to deal with the heat source and cools down the system temperature effectively.Low temperature controlWhen the system temperature is lower than the set lowest temperature, the system will auto start the temperature control mechanism until the system temperature reaches the acceptable threshold. While the system is still under monitoring, the temperature control mechanism will auto start if the temperature drops to the lowest threshold.Lighting controlThere is a light sensor installed in the system that allows it to adjust the LCD brightness automatically depending on environment conditions, to save energy and provide better visibility.IDOOH-210 FEATURES:- Intel Atom processor E3845 QC- 4GB DDR3L system memory- 21.5-inch LCD panel- IR touch screen- 1x USB 3.0, 1x USB 2.0, 1x RS-232/422/485 port- Integrated DP port for second display- 90V~240V AC power input- IP65 rated front panelIbase IDOOH-210 digital out-of-home sunlight readable panel PCPhoto: CompanyAbout IBASE TechnologyFounded in 2000, IBASE Technology (TASDAQ: 8050) is an ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and ISO 14001 certified company that specializes in the design and manufacturing of industrial PC products.

Over the past few years, there has been a renaissance in PC gaming, with related revenues pulling even with, and perhaps this year surpassing, sales from consoles. There are a number of contributors, but the key reason is that the PC is a continuously evolving and scalable platform that can deliver unmatched performance and capability. In short, gamers want choice and they want a high-performance experience. In addition, as an open platform, the PC has benefited from enormous game innovation, including new gaming business models, such as free-to-play (F2P). F2P games such as League of Legends, DOTA2 and more have embraced the PC as their homebase and have become some of the largest and most successful games on the market, inspiring tens of millions of gamers all over the world to play, compete and spectate. This renaissance has spurred some developers to rethink their priorities and we are now seeing the PC return to the position of primary platform for the launch of many new games. This creates a self-sustaining cycle as it brings to the PC more and more gamers who are looking for exclusive, first and premium experiences. Most analysts agree that over the next 3-5 years, the PC gaming market will continue to see revenue growth of 8-10% a year, making it a logical and lucrative platform for developers to focus on. Developers are taking greater advantage of the PC as a scalable and incredibly powerful platform. In the console world, the hardware is fixed, which limits the dynamic range of what's possible. On the open PC platform, developers can harness the power of the PC to deliver a gaming experience that is more realistic, immersive and believable. Games such as Battlefield and Call of Duty offer more involving characters, more realistic environments and superior graphics effects and animations. Bringing increased realism to materials such as cloth, wood, metal, fire and smoke while delivering subtle environment changes like lighting, shadows and reflections requires a great deal of graphics processing power, which has brought even more focus on the GPU in the PC gaming market. Interestingly, the drive for graphics processing is not just coming from the traditional blockbuster franchises. More and more developers are pushing the boundaries. Games coming out of Asia that have traditionally not been graphically intensive are now being launched and requiring GeForce GTX-class graphics for best game play - for example, Blade & Soul and Guild Wars 2. A pipeline of additional titles with similar requirements are set to be released in China over the next year, as developers take advantage of the fact that more and more China gamers have been upgrading to high-performance graphics cards. But it's not all clear sailing on the PC front. While the industry has made dramatic gains in simplifying the PC platform, the fact remains that "open" means incredible diversity. This means every PC can be different, which is confusing for gamers who are not technical and just want to game. These gamers have no desire to deal with the mind-boggling number of graphics settings for each game, especially when every game has a different way of presenting those settings. With the goal of harnessing the power of the PC platform while removing complexity for its users, NVIDIA has been working hard on a number of different initiatives that improve the end-to-end experience for PC gamers. The heart of this is NVIDIA GeForce Experience (GFE). GFE allows gamers to keep their PCs tuned for the best possible game play, and it allows them to share their gaming experiences with friends and the broader gaming community. NVIDIA works closely with game developers to provide an optimized gaming experience prior to every major game release. This is delivered automatically thru GFE, and includes a "game-ready" driver as well as optimized game settings. Game-ready drivers have gone through extensive testing and are optimized for the game, long before launch. That means gamers can expect an awesome experience on launch day. GFE also optimizes the graphics settings for each game, depending on the gamer's hardware configuration. This allows a PC gamer to simply load the game and start playing with the best possible experience with a single click. The goal of GFE is to deliver 40-60 frames per second of game performance with the best possible visual detail. While this is a simple feature for gamers, optimizing game settings has a complex "back end". According to company SVP Jeff Fisher, the company has built a lab in Moscow that profiles all new games across a broad range of PC configurations. With this in hand, GFE automatically optimizes game settings according to a PC's configuration. While Fisher noted that optimized game settings and game-ready driver updates were the first inspiration of GFE, it is evolving into something bigger. GFE has been expanded to add a recording/sharing capability called ShadowPlay. ShadowPlay runs in the background and allows users to record or broadcast their gaming experiences at any time. Because it is integrated into GFE, ShadowPlay does this in the background with no impact to game play. With these seamless gaming features and extra value provided from NVIDIA to gamers, GFE has surged to almost 40 million users worldwide. Fisher also addressed how NVIDIA is working closely with developers to deliver increased visual realism in games through NVIDIA GameWorks, whereby NVIDIA provides technologies such as PhysX and VisualFX to developers so they can deliver games with cutting-edge graphics technologies that are more cinematic in feel. NVIDIA has more than 300 engineers working on visual effects. Fisher described GameWorks as being a library of visual effects - such as flames, water, smoke and lighting - for use in games. A game developer can take what NVIDIA has done and improve on it, or use the complete libraries in the game. This has two positive effects. It helps NVIDIA build a direct relationship with the game developers, whether they use NVIDIA's libraries or simply engage NVIDIA's expertise in visual effects. This relationship has the added benefit of putting NVIDIA in a position where it can do a great deal of quality assurance on a game before it is released, which ties into its game-ready driver strategy. Gaming goes mobile NVIDIA is not only making great strides in improving the desktop PC gaming ecosystem, it has been playing a key role in expanding the notebook PC gaming market, especially through the launch of its first-generation Maxwell architecture-based GPUs earlier this year. The company is seeing a great deal of growth in the notebook gaming PC market, with Fisher commenting that these devices are undergoing dramatic changes. The historic mobile gaming machines are represented by the monster 17-inch notebooks that were more "transportable", than truly mobile. While some gaming enthusiasts will still crave all the performance you can pack into a monster notebook, the power-efficient Maxwell 8-series GTX notebooks are surprising the market with their thin and light form factor, yet powerful gaming capabilities. In further support for the gaming notebook market, NVIDIA recently released GFE for notebooks, bringing all the benefits of GFE to notebook gamers. The demand for these new gaming notebooks is also bringing in more vendors to the market. At Computex, vendors such as MSI and Gigabyte will be promoting notebook models that show they are serious about the gaming market. These Taiwan firms will help make GeForce GTX gaming notebooks more widely available through multiple channels globally, which is good news for gamers. Computex a chance to see the future NVIDIA continues to innovate to push the PC gaming market forward. Last year at Computex, the company highlighted its GameStream technology, which allows PC gaming to be streamed to a console (NVIDIA SHIELD). GameStream allows users to extend the PC gaming experience to other remote devices, whether from their own PC or from the cloud. This year at Computex, NVIDIA and its partners are excited to show off what NVIDIA calls G-SYNC. G-SYNC addresses the decades-long problem in the PC gaming industry where the monitor has a fixed refresh rate but the PC games themselves don't get rendered at a fixed rate. As the scene complexity changes during a game, so does the frame rate. Yet the monitor continues to refresh at 60 frames/second. This mismatch causes some visible stuttering or tearing on the screen as frames get drawn independent of whether the screen is being refreshed. NVIDIA studied this problem for a long time and attacked it with G-SYNC. Since monitors don't support variable refresh rates, NVIDIA designed its own module that is integrated in the monitor to synchronize the game's frame rate with the monitor frame rate to deliver a buttery smooth gaming experience. OEMs such as ASUS, Acer, BenQ, AOC, Philips and ViewSonic will highlight G-SYNC monitors at Computex this year, and products will begin shipping in the next couple of months Not just a hardware company During NVIDIA's recent first quarter results, the company announced strong revenue growth in all segments of the gaming market. When asked to address what has helped the company achieve such strong growth in this market, Fisher explained that it's because NVIDIA is not just focusing on hardware (GPUs), the company realizes its success depends on the overall gaming experience. Therefore it continues to focus on the end-to-end experience of PC gamers. Jeff Fisher, SVP, GeForce Business Unit, NVIDIA NVIDIA GeForce Experience
