Thanks. Really interesting work. Are you allowed to share some of the data ? If so: Does the time includes time to walk to bus station or an estimate? Is there some histogram of time saved per passenger ? or even something like X% of passen

They talk about 10% time reduction(probably average). Does anybody know more fine grained statistics ?

I think you see movement to higher end processes even in non-high end stuff. There are lower-end[1] and higher-end[2] microcontrollers moving to more advanced processes. And due to the unique manufacturing requirements of those(building fla

We know from studies done around 2003 done by peter provonost that if doctors follow certain checklists while doing an IV(if i recall correctly), reduce the complication rate from 12% to 0%. Using checklists is still not a common practice a

Here's a story from atul gawande that has a similar point. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/01/24/110124fa_fact_... As far as i can tell , atul is a pretty serious health care journalist so him posting this story tells me it's pro

I think only the teensy and due strive to be fully arduino compatible(to be able to run sketches exactly the same as arduino, versus offering similar looking API).

the new beaglebone(esp. the new one) has two more advantages over the raspberry pi which haven't been mentioned: 1.It can run single precision floating point at 16-24 times faster than the raspberry pi. 2.It has two fast(200MHZ) microcontr

Maybe there are some guys at reddir: /r/electronics or /r/ece that do high density pcb's and arm.

Cool !. Maybe 3D isn't ready yet, but at least 2.5D integration is already in the market in FPGA's , and there's some claims from some companies[1] that it's ready for market for low cost applications. [1] http://www.eetimes.com/electronics

Isn't it the wrong direction to go? With the price of memory chips about $1 per 265Mbyte, and technologies of integrating multiple chips with tons of connections and speed(2.5D and 3D integration) closing by, what's the point in offering 12

It's 22nm finfet. The finfet is equivalent to a 0.5/1 generation advantage in power or speed.

Microcontrollers currently supported by uClinux cost >$5. One interesting option to reduce the cost is to use a new microcontroller , the psoc 4(starting $1, 32 bit) which includes programmable logic, which might enable implementing the

It might not make sense for sony to make one device that would replace many, with most money for the software going to other people. This is a classic innovator's dillema. Also they did build the first ebook reader, but they lost to the kin

A good place to start is http://codemontage.com/ - the site has links to a few serious nonprofit project(open source) who could use help. Also look at it's resource link, some of the links like random hacks of kindness are interesting.

I wonder if we'll see a counter measure by cable companies: offer google to run their tv ads and build them set top boxesand share profits, while google stops this broadband stuff ? That would be interesting.

You're right , but that's a pretty difficult and expensive solution. The more practical solution for now is 2.5D stacking - stacking all the un-packaged chips on silicon/glass die instead of a pcb. That's already being used in some fpga an

This is brilliant. One problem with today's chip manufacturing tech is if you want to build system with multiple manufacturing technologies(digital/RAM/Flash/Analog) it increases your price by much because you have to package each part(whic

They can flash a single ROM image, create a random password on the device , and just by adding a led , they communicate said password to a mobile app, when needed.
