Banks and retailers arene’t competitors in any conventional sense. Yet their industries are often at each other’s throat. They scuffle over the way money flows between them.
Semiconductor Engineering goes 1:1 with Steven Woo
Ernest Worthman of Semiconductor Engineering recently interviewed Steven Woo, a VP and distinguished inventor at Rambus. The two discussed the numerous challenges facing the rapidly evolving Internet of Things (IoT), including security and low power sipping requirements. As Woo points out, security and privacy are critical topics, with a significant amount of concern being expressed over potential vulnerabilities in connected cars, homes and appliances.
Will security concerns slow IoT growth?
Writing for Semiconductor Engineering, Ed Sperling confirms the industry is now in “full pursuit” of the Internet of Things (IoT). “In fact, what started as a trickle has turned into something that more closely resembles Niagara Falls,” Sperling opines. “This is particularly true for the so-called Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), where smart sensors on a factory floor already are saving money and predicting potential problems, such as assembly line shutdowns, well ahead of those events.”
Rethinking The Cloud
Data center architectures have seen very few radical changes since the commercial introduction of the IBM System/360 mainframe in 1964. There have been incremental improvements in speed and throughput over the years, with a move to a client/server model in the 1990s, but from a high level this is still an environment where data is processed and stored centrally and accessed globally.
Rambus lensless smart sensors win “Best Of” MWC 2015 award from Tom’s Hardware
Tom’s Hardware has announced that Rambus lensless smart sensors (LSS) won the publication’s “Best Of” (hardware) award for Mobile World Congress 2015. It should be noted that Rambus LSS technology clinched the “Best of MWC” award from Tom’s Guide in 2014.
CNET talks Rambus lensless smart sensors
A number of prominent journalists covered Rambus’ lensless smart sensors (LSS) demo during Mobile World Congress 2015, including CNET’s Stephen Shankland. “With chip-based camera technology from Rambus, your next smartphone may understand a new range of commands issued by moving your hands and wiggling your fingers in front of the screen instead of by touching it,” Shankland reported.
