Amazon unveiled AWS IoT at its Invent conference, a platform created to make it easier for IoT devices to connect to AWS services so that companies can store, process, analyze and act on data these devices generate. The new service for IoT is aimed at AWS customers and companies that now have to handle a lot of the development and infrastructure maintenance tasks for their Internet-of-Things efforts in house.. At the company’s Re:Invent conference in Las Vegas, SVP Andy Jassy revealed that AWS has grown at a rate of 81pc a year, surpassing the growth rates of other companies providing cloud storage and processing. He said the AWS cloud gives freedom for enterprises that want to innovate quickly “to say “yes” to new innovation” because they will not be held back by costs and other considerations that haunt “traditional IT”. It’s created to provide end-to-end support for managing and working with embedded devices through Amazon’s cloud. During the event’s inauguration on October 6, the company announced three

Dell Inc. and EMC Corporation today announced they have signed a definitive agreement under which Dell, together with its owners, Michael S. Dell, founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Dell, MSD Partners and Silver Lake, the global leader in technology investing, will acquire EMC Corporation, while maintaining VMware as a publicly-traded company. Under the terms of the agreement, EMC shareholders will receive $24.05 per share in cash in addition to tracking stock linked to a portion of EMC’s economic interest in the VMware business. Based on the estimated number of EMC shares outstanding at the close of the transaction, EMC shareholders are expected to receive approximately 0.111 shares of new tracking stock for each EMC share. Assuming, for illustrative purposes, a valuation for each share of tracking stock of $81.78, the intraday volume-weighted average price for VMware on Wednesday, October 7, 2015, EMC shareholders would receive a total combined consideration

Mentor Graphics Corporation today announced its new Tessent®ScanPro product, which features technology that significantly improves the test pattern volume reduction achievable with the company's Tessent TestKompress® ATPG compression solution. Because the volume of test patterns largely dictates the cost and time to test an integrated circuit (IC), the Tessent ScanPro product helps chip manufacturers to ship their products more quickly and cost effectively. The key technology in the Tessent ScanPro product, Embedded Deterministic Test (EDT) Test Points, applies local circuit modifications to reduce assignment conflicts that arise during the test pattern generation process. The resulting improvement in pattern generation efficiency translates into significant pattern count reduction. EDT Test Points are effective at reducing patterns generated for all types of fault models, including the advanced Cell-Aware fault model from Mentor®. "Test times are becoming more problematic as our design sizes continue to grow," said Erez Menahem, Marvel NCD DFT Manager. "Using Mentor's EDT Test Point

After retiring from the rail industry, Stephen Ollier and his wife invested in their composites engineering company, Pentaxia.  Today, with the support of Delcam’s PowerMILL CAM software, the company is going from strength-to-strength. Stephen Ollier established Pentaxia in 2008 when he was asked to help some former colleagues that had started a precision engineering business.  He recalls: “They rented a five-axis machine tool and set up a business, but they had not had much experience in running a business, so they asked me if I wanted to join.  I admit I found retirement a bit boring so I joined.” Originally located in a rented building with no running water or toilets, after six months the decision was taken to look for new premises.  “In the beginning our customers were small composite companies,” he said.  “We supplied them with patterns and always focused on providing a reliable service.  This was appreciated and
