TELEDYNE E2V RELEASES OPTIMOM 2M, TURNKEY MIPI OPTICAL MODULES FOR QUICK AND EASY DEVELOPMENT OF VISION SYSTEMS

GRENOBLE, France, Sept 6 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teledyne e2v announces the release of its 2-Megapixel Optimom™ , the first in a range of MIPI CSI-2 optical modules. Powered by Teledyne e2v’s proprietary image sensor technology, Optimom has been thoughtfully designed to ensure there is minimum development effort required for vision-based embedded systems for robotics, logistics, drones, or laboratory equipment.

Optimom™ 2M features a native MIPI CSI-2 protocol and standard FPC connector to link with embedded processing boards. Integration is instant using a dedicated Development Kit, which includes both an adapter board for hardware integration and Linux drivers for straightforward software integration with NVIDIA Jetson or NXP i.MX solutions.

These optical modules are built with the same compact 25 mm square outline, enabling a single mechanical design that can even fit into highly constrained mechanical systems. To address the requirements of various applications, Optimom 2M can be tailored for multiple scenarios with two color options (Monochrome or RGB) and three lens options (a multi-focus lens, a fix-focus lens, or without lens). The lens is supplied already installed and focused, eliminating the tedious task of lens selection and assembly.

All Optimom 2M models are powered by Teledyne e2v’s proprietary 2-Megapixel, low-noise, global shutter image sensor which provides sharp images of fast-moving objects. The multi-focus version of Optimom 2M combines a broad working distance and wide aperture in one solution by utilizing an innovative focus adjustment technology.

SMART Modular Technologies announces new Compute Express Link Memory Module

 

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 5 (Bernama) -- SMART Modular Technologies Inc (SMART), a division of SGH and a global leader in memory solutions, solid-state drives, and hybrid storage products, has announced its new Compute Express Link (CXL™) Memory Module, the XMM CXL memory module.

SMART’s new DDR5 XMM CXL modules help boost server and data centre performance by enabling cache coherent memory to be added behind the CXL interface, further expanding big data processing capabilities beyond the current 8-channel/12-channel limitations of most servers.

The industry adoption of composable serial-attached memory architecture enables a whole new era for the memory module industry. Serial-attached memory adds capacity and bandwidth capabilities beyond main memory DIMM modules.

According to a statement, servers with XMM CXL modules can be dynamically configured for different applications and workloads without being shut down. Memory can be shared across nodes to meet throughput and latency requirements.

SMART’s introductory XMM CXL modules are offered with a leading-edge CXL ASIC controller built into an E3.S form factor with 64GB of DDR5 memory that is compliant with the CXL 2.0 specification.

The goal of this module is to allow customer and CPU partners to bring up the CXL ecosystem and validate compliance across a variety of server platforms.

SMART’s XMM CXL modules provide additional memory capacity that can be dynamically allocated behind the CXL interface for those workloads that need it.

SMART is utilising its experience in enabling new technologies and new interconnect standards to fully support the adoption of CXL memory.

DECARBONISING AUSTRALIA'S MINING SECTOR BEYOND RENEWABLES HIGHLIGHTED IN TIMELY BLACK & VEATCH EBOOK

Global infrastructure solutions provider identifies opportunities to achieve cost-effective, deep decarbonisation for Australia’s heavy industry

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept 1 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Integrating mining infrastructure solutions across power, water and other critical technologies provides Australia’s mining industry with opportunities to overcome sustainability challenges at every stage of the mining process.
 
In its new eBook, Beyond Renewables: Impactful Decarbonisation of Australia’s Mining Sector, Black & Veatch examines emerging opportunities and provides insights into decarbonising Australia’s mining operations.

The eBook acknowledges that while mining companies have made substantial progress in recent years, many with long-established sustainability programs, opportunities have emerged to accelerate the impact of their decarbonisation efforts.

In the eBook, Black & Veatch’s water and energy experts propose that developing robust decarbonisation roadmaps will help mining companies manage and understand limited budgets, technology timelines and complex regulations over potentially a 30-year span, a timeframe similar to making major infrastructure investments.

“Decarbonisation strategies require the long view. When planning phases span decades, it is important to avoid the consequences of getting locked into path dependency or stranded assets by having a clear understanding of technology maturity and cost. We provide this clarity through our deployment of a diverse range of technologies, combined with our objective assessment of the maturity of emerging technologies,” said Mick Scrivens, Vice President, Director, Australia Pacific, Black & Veatch.

Decarbonisation roadmaps will help mining companies evaluate competing commercially-ready and emerging technologies, and present a de-risked pathway to zero emissions. Such roadmaps demonstrate to investors and communities that mining operators are systematically analysing the economic and operational feasibility of each infrastructure investment along the timeline.

The eBook also covers a range of other topics of interest including green hydrogen production, long-term energy storage, fleet and equipment electrification, direct air capture, net-zero water recycling, emissions-free explosives, small modular reactor nuclear power as well as future revenue opportunities through electricity production after mine closure.

Scrivens will be speaking about Australia’s opportunities for decarbonisation at NT Resources Week in August.
