We have always relied on buses and trains to get us to work and back home. Not so long ago we relied on printed timetables and we waited for buses with a handful of coins hoping we had the right change or even enough change! Nowadays thankfully, new passenger control systems have made smart vehicle technology a reality, bringing convenience, comfort and efficiency to passengers. New bus fare collection systems using smart cards automate and speed up payment and make the days of missing buses due to not having the correct coins a thing of the past.In Portugal, the Lisbon city bus company wanted a single smart bus system to include the automation of the magnetic cards sales, a validating system on board their buses, and integrated information management of the entire process from issuing tickets to collecting fares from each bus to several hot-spots around the city and then onto the central operations server. With these new bus upgrades, passenger can now benefit from a faster way to purchase fares, an easier way of validating them and the bus company can now receive up-to-date feedback of passenger trends and manage data in real time. This could only be possible with a rugged and reliable embedded system able to process, administer and wirelessly transmit accurate data in real time.Tempel, a large system integrator based in Spain assisted the modernization by providing each Lisbon bus with a fanless, embedded industrial box computer, card reader and display panel. Each bus got an ARK-3202V, which serves as an integrated, onboard platform controlling fare card readers, LCD displays, and an LED display that shows next-stop information to passengers. 802.11n Wi-fi transmits bus data to each Data Collection Station hub in each city sector and that communicates with the Central Control Server via a wireless HSPDA link. GPS capability allows the control center to track each bus.The all -in-one solution provided by Advantech helps to save not only money but also space onboard. In this application, the traditional cash box is completely discarded in order to help prevent fraud and crime. And, commercials aired in the buses bring in additional revenues. The transit authority of Lisbon city are exploring the possibility of combining the use of bank -issued credit and debit cards with that of the magnetic fare cards. Whatever they decide, the flexible ARK-3202V is ready to accommodate.◦An all -in-one solution that supports both electronic fare collection and information display◦In -vehicle power supply compatible with bus electrical system◦Mobile communications based on HSDPA (3.5G) On -board GPS for bus tracking◦Vibration and shock resistant◦Wide operating temperature range to cope with Mediterranean climateXavi Perez, Tempel project manager, says "We are now working for years with Advantech and our business relationship has been increased a lot during the last past years. Advantech products are always up-to-date with the latest technology on the market and this helps us to be very competitive in our Country. It alsohelps us to understand our customers' requests and support them with the most complete solution available. We are very happy to work with Advantech products and this project is the result of our cooperation".New trend in the passenger ticketing management in LisbonFinding more case study articles

The companies today jointly confirmed achieving GaN-on-Si based LEDs utilizing Epistar's high-brightness LED structures and AZZURRO's patented technology for 150 mm GaN-on-Si.The successful completion of the joined project confirmed the excellent performance that can be reached. In particular the two companies are very satisfied about the extremely short development time of only 16 weeks for transfering Epistar's existing LED structures build on sapphire to the GaN-on-Si material system. This milestone takes GaN-on-Si one step further towards implementation in mass production.While GaN-on-Si is often associated with difficult to overcome technological challenges, the use of templates with unique strain-engineering technology from AZZURRO enables epitaxy engineers to quickly transfer their LED structures to GaN-on-Si. Furthermore the patented and proprietary buffer stress management enables homogeneity improvements (< 4 nm wavelength homogeneity) for LED epiwafers, helping to reduce binning and increase yield. Commenting on the time and cost effective execution of the migration, Epistar's Lee Biing-Jye, Chairman stated: "We are very excited about the outcome of this joined exercise which has exceeded all expectations regarding speed and cost of migration. The success helps us to utilize GaN-on-Si which is a game changer for the industry - and Epistar as a leading innovator is part of it.""We are very happy to see our customers gaining the advantages of GaN-on-Si in such short periods when using our large area templates. It proves our business model to offer dedicated development packages and sophisticated engineering support," added by Erwin Wolf, CEO of AZZURRO who continued "The technology to enable the LED industry to tap into the advantages of the volume, cost-effectiveness and maturity of silicon foundries is ready with our strain-engineered templates."About AZZURRO SemiconductorsAZZURRO is a strongly growing semiconductor company and has pioneered the growth of gallium nitride on silicon substrates (GaN-on-Si). The customers worldwide are supplied with epitaxial wafers for LED and power semiconductor applications. The use of AZZURRO's large diameter GaN-on-Si-wafers allows the industry to facilitate standard semiconductor production sites to allow massive cost savings.For more information please visit http://www.azzurro-semiconductors.com/.

PC-based control architectures provide open and flexible operation with high integration capabilities, making them a great complement to PLC control architectures. Today's machine vision applications are a perfect fit for this type of collaboration, as they create a synergy of seamless eye and hand work. After several decades of evolution, PC-based systems are beginning to leverage advanced semiconductor technology to provide higher calculation capabilities than PLCs. Meanwhile, PC-based motion control has become quite common in the market and help to improve the machinery throughput. With PC-based motion control, system integrators can execute more flexible trajectory planning with multithread technology compared to typical polling and sequence control from PLC system. These benefits are most apparent in the following applications: - Packaging machinery, including semiconductor, flat panel displays, LEDs, PCBs, etc.- Solar energy- Wind power- Converting, woodworking and printing These applications feature two different two topologies: centralized and distributed. Normally, PCI/PCIe cards are the main selection to form a centralized architecture. However, as sophisticated design evolves, precise-timing trajectory control of multiple stepping and servo motors is needed and multiple axes of integration inside the embedded controller would be a lousy job for assembly engineers. From the viewpoint of overall budget control, design, implementation and maintenance, distributed motion control can save 20-30% of implementation costs. But movement alone is not sufficient, accurate vision inspection is required to increase quality control. With PC-based vision, on-the-fly inspection can be achieved, increasing throughput and creating synergy between motion control, image capturing and inspection. Typically, vision inspection applications can be broken down into the need for location, measurement, decoding, and defect identification. The interface selection includes analog and digital types. Digital is the next trend because of its standardization and increasing popularity. IEEE-1394.b, Gigabit Ethernet and CameraLink are becoming much more prevalent in this market. Providing increased throughput, reduced production costs, fewer failures, lower operating expenses, the ability to integrate more machines into one system, and an increased return on investment are the driving forces for automation manufacturers today. The synergy of motion control and vision inspections offers great promise for the automation market. Motion control cableless technology and digital vision capturing are the future trends in machine automation. The main focus in this transition is to lower costs by reducing wiring, simplifying the system formation, and utilizing standard PC-based interfaces. Distributed motion control benefits these systems much more than typical centralized configurations by integrating Ethernet cabling. In this way, deployment is flexible enough to manage over 100 motion control axis, with easy after-service maintenance. Besides, real-time Ethernet fieldbus can realize fast-speed response times for multiple axis control. Analog interface frame grabbers are prone to electro-mechanical interference while digital interfaces, such as IEEE-1394.b and Gigabit Ethernet are able to avoid this problem. Without needed to purchase additional frame grabbers, system integrators can benefit from a high-performance embedded controller with standard digital interfaces as their main vision inspection platform. Printed Circuit Boards are used in virtually every electronic device today, from cellular phones and personal computers to industrial and medical machinery. One of the most integral steps in assembling Circuit Boards is the solder placement. Advantech's centralized motion control system provides a high performance dual-core computer, UNO-3084, which can handle machine vision and control in one platform, and deal with 3D solder inspection capabilities with high inspection accuracy with high-speed motion control, besides, its IEEE 1394.b port can connect two individual cameras and two DVI-I displays. Advantech's PCI-1240U was applied for the high speed motion control, giving the added performance from motors. For the I/O card architecture, Advantech's PCI-1751 DI/O card is applied, helping the moving motor control different lighting for visual judgment, which helps make the inspection clear and reliable TFT Defect Inspection in LCD Panel Assembly With the driving force to manufacture larger-scale flat panels, system integrators need to design larger manufacturing machines. Take defect inspection for TFT/LCD panels for example, the machine design will consider multiple servo/stepping motors for conveyer purposes, and vision inspection by high-performance CPU with standard interfaces. Distributed motion control can solve system integrators' trouble in motor deployment in large space with Ethernet cabling. Due to the complexity of the LCD manufacturing process, orientation and spacing are extremely critical. UNO-3082 features front accessible I/O and expansion arrangement makes wiring and maintenance very friendly. With Core 2 Duo performance, the inspection application runs smoothly even with local inspection loading. AMAX-2752 and AMAX-2242's industrial DIN-rail mount design makes it easy to distribute in the field. With Advantech's machine automation solution, multiple cameras can be implemented by digital interface to form a vision inspection platform, and more motors can be distributed. PCI-1202 is a master control card which can be implemented in the PC to process all the motion instructions and data communications. Moreover, Advantech's AMONet has built-in ASIC for each module and allows real-time updates and control. Facility Management in Food & Beverage Machine System Providing quality food products with an extended shelf life while meeting growing concerns regarding the use of salt, sugar, fat, additives, and preservatives, is an increasingly difficult challenge for the food industry. Recent developments in equipment and motor control technology have moved the food industry to create a wide range of food making machine that have greater accuracy ingredient handling. The food machine system is a dispatch sender for various recipes. The APAX-5520KW and APAX-5570XPE works as dual controller to do data and recipes exchange. The WebOP-2080V industrial operator panel comes bundled with PM Designer 2.0 HMI software to operate the HMI tasks and connect with APAX-5570XPE through VGA port. These conveyers are controlled by Advantech's AMONet master module APAX-5202P and motion slave AMAX-2243/YS2 to support higher precise motion control performance. The APAX-5046 is 24-ch DI/O module which connect to the sensors, emergency stop button, limited switched and push buttons together. Reference: ARC insights, January 28, 2010.

As recently as ten years ago, patents were almost entirely a positive thing for companies. They were the embodiment of a firm's innovative energy, both spurring the creation of new products and providing legal protection for those products in the marketplace.Equally important, patents have helped preserve a healthy balance-of-power between competitors. Almost all companies today maintain large portfolios of broadly-applicable patents (which, for reasons described below, often have claims that are very similar to or overlap those of other issued patents), so there has always been a tacit understanding that any infringement litigation would be met with a countersuit. Truly intractable patent disputes – such as the recent Apple-Samsung court battles – might go all the way to trial and judgment, but for the most part companies have used patents to ensure market equilibrium and not to enforce legal rights.Over the last decade or so, however, this benign balance of power has changed. The agent of that change is the non-practicing entity (or NPE), a firm that does not make products or sell services. The NPE business model is simple: acquire patents, identify operating companies that may be infringing those patents, and bring legal action to generate a settlement and/or license payments. Because they have no products or services, NPEs are not susceptible to being countersued.And that, according the Hisao Yamasaki, has changed everything. Yamasaki leads the Asian operations for RPX Corporation, a leading patent risk management provider. He points out that where companies used to regard the patents they own purely as contributors to operating growth, today those same companies are being forced to see patents that they don't own as a source of large and unpredictable risk and expense. In 2011 alone, the total cost of NPE-driven patent litigation in the United States was $5.8 billion."That's up from $1 billion just six years ago and the trend is steadily upward," says Yamasaki, "And the number of companies being targeted by NPEs is rapidly expanding, too. In 2006, 499 companies were asserted by NPEs. In 2011, that had risen to 1,312 companies."The problem, Yamasaki notes, is large, growing and increasingly global. "Our research shows that for the top 50 Asian technology companies, the number of NPE litigations has grown from 63 in 2006 to 234 in 2011," he says. In response, RPX has steadily expanded its outreach in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and other regional technology centers, and will be hosting its annual RPX Asia Patent Conferences in Kyoto on October 22 and in Taipei on October 24. The events cover a wide range of issues, including recent attempts at patent reform, the spread of NPE activities into new vertical markets, troubling trends in how NPEs are being financed, and new ways to quantify and predict patent risk.Founded just four years ago, RPX has already made a significant positive impact in the patent space by providing innovative patent risk solutions for operating companies, including those facing the threat of NPE litigation. It does so by taking a market-based approach to a traditionally legal problem."The problem," says RPX Chief Executive and co-founder John Amster, "is not that patents are being monetized; it is how they are being monetized. Any owner should be able to extract value from an asset, including patents. But NPEs use the court system to determine that value. It's a legal transaction, instead of a market transaction. And legal transactions are incredibly inefficient and costly."In fact, according to a recent study by James Bessen and Michael Meurer of the Boston University School of Law, the total cost for responding to NPE litigation in 2011 was $29 billion, and RPX calculates that fully half of this cost was legal fees. No market-based transaction has anywhere near such high transaction costs.RPX was founded in the belief that the most efficient and rational way to transfer value from patent user to patent owner is through an ecosystem with unlimited participants, complete price transparency, and broad sharing of valuation information. In short, a market. To that end, the firm has built a growing network of 120 operating companies, each of which pays an annual fee based on operating income. RPX uses this capital to acquire high-value, high-threat patents on behalf of all its members.The size of its client base gives RPX the scale to compete with well-capitalized NPEs when bidding for patents. The cost of each acquisition is efficiently shared across the entire network. To date, the company has deployed $490 million to acquire more than 2900 patents and patent rights. The firm calculates that it has reduced NPE risk for its clients in aggregate more than 40% by acquiring patents that would have otherwise been litigated against them. The RPX solution is purely defensive and the firm specifies in every client contract that it will never offensively assert the patents it owns.Amster notes that there are many factors contributing to the overall growth in patent risk for operating companies. The US Patent and Trademark Office has been faulted for issuing so many patents (more than 2.3 million since 2000, alone) and for issuing patents that so often have vaguely described claims or technology that clearly overlaps the claims in previously issued patents. This ends up giving NPEs access to an almost unlimited supply of patents that they can acquire and litigate against operating companies. It has also created a growing number of latent patent conflicts between operating companies with competing products."Clearly there are many points of friction in the current environment," Amster points out. "And any company that incorporates technology into its products or services and sells in the United States is bearing an increasingly heavy patent risk. But dealing with this risk doesn't have to be irrational and inefficient anymore. Our market-based solution shares the risk among multiple participants and dramatically mitigates the transaction costs. And as the RPX network continues to expand, we will be able to remove progressively more patents – and more risk – from the operating ecosystem."There is clearly still a great deal of work to be done to fully rationalize the patent ecosystem, and RPX believes the current system can be further improved with a market-based solution and that billions of dollars in wasted transaction costs can be saved every year. Based on its success to date, the company appears to be on the right track.For more information about RPX's Asia Conferences, please contact: events@rpxcorp.com

In late 1990, Taiwan's Freeway Bureau began planning the construction of National Highway No. 3 to open up better transportation links and create more balanced regional development. The highway construction would have to go through steep terrain and mountains which made the project even more difficult, not to mention the difficulty of follow-up maintenance. Lantan Tunnel is well known among engineering associations and government agencies because it overcame numerous natural barriers and introduced many leading engineering methods."Because the Tunnel is located in the mountain area, its maintenance is a demanding challenge. Thanks to Advantech's help, their stable system gave us a big hand," said Mr. Chen, Senior Engineer of Southern Region Engineering Office, Taiwan Area National Freeway Bureau.Advantech's SCA DA system provided easy management and control of the tunnel monitoring system which is comprised of front-end sensors (including a luminance meter, smoke and dust detector), APAX controller, and back-end PAC with WebAccess software to provide safe surveillance."Illumination is one of the most important aspects of driving safety. Due to tunnel's 1.2 km length, the lighting system not only had to provide basic lighting but also had to have adjustable illumination to help avoid accidents because brightness differences can cause motorist's eyes discomfort and problems," Mr. Chen said.A user friendly graphical interface enabled engineers to easily locate the luminance settings, and the webbased design, hyperlinking, and remote communications, helped external engineering staff easily communicate with central management when out on site.Building a traffic safety control system in the cloudThree years ago, when the Freeway Bureau planned to replace the old system, a system with easy maintenance and a simple graphical user interface were the top priorities, Mr. Chen said. "Previous maintenance work used to waste a lot of time on account of using products from different suppliers, which meant problems became very difficult to resolve. We once called several vendors to come in, only to find out it was just a fuse problem! That's why, Advantech really impressed us—with Advantech things got much simpler."Mr. Chen explained that contact was made with Advantech four years ago to help with an unknown fault. It was only a few thousand NT dollars of work but Advantech quickly sent maintenance staff to resolve it. In addition, with the benefit of a web-based monitoring system, Advantech could offer the integration of a transmission and SCADA system to enhance overall maintenance performance. Thereafter, Advantech began to participate in the improvement of the tunnel monitoring system as a strategic partner.Currently, there are 43 of Advanetch's APAX controllers distributed in the Lantan Tunnel connected to backend PACs with WebAccess software to control the whole tunnel. All of those devices were provided by Advantech which significantly improved the system. Mr. Chen added, "Advantech's PACs, which integrate control, data processing, images, video, and internet communications, are ideal products for maintenance engineering to safely monitor the tunnel."With increased maintenance and monitoring, the new system has attracted many engineering departments and agencies who visit the tunnel to take a look. And now, the Pingtung Zhongliao Tunnel team is also planning to replicate this project and use Advantech's products.According to t he contractor's manager, "Advantech's IPC products prov ided the best stabilit y and integrat ion. Secondly, Advantech offered complete technical training and support services, plus quality products at competitive prices, which is why Advantech has become the first choice of contractors."Advantech's SCA DA system provided easy management and control of the tunnel monitoring system.Finding more case study articles

The Hospital Alpes Leman in Contamine sur Arve, France, was originally built in 1841 and serves the Geneva area as a premier public hospital offering a complete range of medical and surgical specialties. The hospital has a 640 bed capacity, and its wide range of care options across various fields of competence is available to all. The hospital was completely rebuilt in 2012 which afforded planners the opportunity to computerize the facility in surgery, endoscopy, recovery, anesthesia, and other areas. Hospital staff identified the need to build systems that allowed full patient management, room scheduling, and regulatory checklists in surgery; intervention and recovery processes in anesthesiology; and patient plan care and prescription continuity in pharmaceutical dispensaries.Advantech's POC-S197F Slim Point-of-Care terminals were selected to handle the hospital's needs. The all-in-one terminal is connected to the hospital's information systems, and allows real-time access and recording of patient data. It was installed in the hospital using convenient VESA standard swing-arm mounts, making for an ergonomic workstation with mouse and keyboard suspended above worktables maximizing the work area. The POC-S197F's 19 inch display gives medical personnel, such as anesthesiologists in surgical units, a broad visual interface. Having instant access to data optimizes workflow, reduces risks from errors and ensures premium access to information is always available.Advantech's POC-S197F is a 19" TFT LCD display powered by an IntelR Core2 Duo processor. The 1.2 GHz processor is the basis for a powerful system which supports 2 GB of DDR3 memory, and has a full set of I/O connectors (3 USB ports, 2 serial ports, and 2 LAN ports) to meet the hospital's requirements. WiFi and touch panel functions are also available to provide more flexibility, ease data entry, and allow the system to connect to other HIS platforms throughout the hospital.The Hospital Alpes Leman noted several benefits from the installation:- Better performance and increased productivity resulting from modernized workstations- Mitigation of risk factors, as real-time access to relevant data reduces errors- Ease of use with a convenient touchscreen- Fanless operation, ideal for sanitized and quiet areas like surgery- Great ergonomics and space-savings features- Compliance with regulatory requirements- Flexible connectivity options- Flexible mounting choicesThe customer is satisfied with the connectivity afforded by POC-S197F, its slim profile, and its ease of cleaning. Patrice Sondag, a clinical worker in the surgical unit at the hospital said, "POC-S197F can be easily cleaned with the disinfectants used in the hospital, such as Surfa" safe or Surfanios. With its true flat panel, it permits easy and thorough cleaning."Advantech's POC-S197F is a 19" TFT LCD display powered by an IntelR Core2 Duo processor.The all-in-one terminal is connected to the hospital's information systems, and allows real-time access and recording of patient dataFinding more case study articles

While Taiwan's passive component makers generally saw poor performances during the first half of this year, Chilisin - Taiwan's largest inductor manufacturer - was the exception, achieving excellent results in terms of both revenue growth and earnings per share (EPS). With revenue growth of 10% and EPS growth of 26% for the half year, Chilisin outperformed all other inductor manufacturers.Chilisin's ability to grow in face of weak economic conditions is closely connected to its entry into the handset market in 2009. Chilisin progressed from having no products at all in the handset sector to it contributing more than one fifth of the company's overall revenues up to August 2012, making Chilisin a global supplier in all international major mobile phone markets.According to forecasts from Topology Research Institute, smartphones shipments in China will reach some 188 million in 2012, with a year-on-year growth of 36.2% to drive-shipments to reach 256 million in 2013. The rapid growth rate means that the China smartphone market will become one of Chilisn's main drivers for sustainable growth.Chilisin has a complete portfolio of inductors and technologies – thin-film processes, multilayer printing processes, molding processes, and wire wound processesChilisin's new products are designed for greater precision, miniaturization and thinness to meet the requirements of handheld, slim and lightweight portable devices. Chilisin will begin mass production of its TFL Series RF thin-film chip inductor for usage in high-end smartphones in the fourth quarter of 2012, using a thin-film process. The company also has three product categories for power solutions to serve handheld devices: miniature molded power inductors (AME/MHCD Series, compatible with the TOKO DFE Series), miniature magnetic-resin shielded wire-wound power inductors (LVF Series), and multilayer power inductors (MPB Series). This wide product range enables Chilisin to cater to customer requirements with three different types of technology. Chilisin believes that power consumption will be an even greater challenge in coming years, as dual-core and quad-core processors become the norm; as a result, current-related applications will cause a significant increase in demand for power inductors.Chilisin aims to continue its strategy of diversification by opening up new markets. It has already begun taking orders from new regions including Russia and other parts of Eastern Europe. Chilisin has indicated that it will strive to operate through partnerships in regions such as these that are focused on developing niche markets including solar power and security equipment.Market conditions are ripe for a push into the Japanese marketJapan is another focal point for Chilisin's market development activities this year. Chilisin has been building close contacts with numerous Japanese clients through strategic alliances with leading distributors in the country, and its products have been very well received. Chilisin has stated that development in the Japanese market will center on demand for consumer electronics products. Chilisin's factories in China's Dongguan, Suzhou and Henan regions are close to-and capable of supporting the China factories of its Japanese clients. Chilisin's comprehensive product line, range of technologies, ferrite-core and powder materials development technology, and strong vertical integration capabilities make Chilisin unique among Taiwan-based inductor manufacturers. Many Japanese manufacturers have therefore given the highest praise to Chilisin for the diversity of its products and the maturity and sophistication of its technology.Chilisin stresses that the development of these new markets will become its growth engine in the near future. Chilisin's revenue results are likely to move up a step from the fourth quarter of this year or the first quarter of next year, with the firm's penetration into the global market becoming broader, deeper and more international.Chilisin has a complete portfolio of inductor and technologies – thin-film processes, multilayer printing processes, molding processes, and wire wound processes
