Approximately 100 million wearable remote patient monitoring (RPM) devices will ship over the next 5 years. According to ABI Research, the RPM market has been boosted by increased interest and awareness about the benefits of supporting healthcare away from the hospital and into patients’ homes.

Title: Trends in Cybersecurity – What You Need To Know
1:00 p.m. – 1:59 p.m., Sands Expo – MobileCON Show Floor, Stage 1
The volume of malware targeting smartphones and tablets reached new highs in 2013 and this growth shows no sign of slowing. Security researchers will review mobile device attacks that dominated security threats in 2014. For example, nearly exclusive to the Android platform, new mobile malware has popped up at a faster rate than malware targeting PCs, and new malware samples on the Android OS have grown by 33% in just the past two quarters, while PC malware remained relatively flat.

Xilinx, Northwest Logic and Xylon Provide Low Cost FPGA-based MIPI Interfaces for Video Displays and Cameras
Low cost MIPI Interface now available for users to design DSI and CSI-2 video interfaces for embedded systems
SAN JOSE, Calif., September 8, 2014 –Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) and Northwest Logic and Xylon, Xilinx Premier Alliance Members, announce the availability of a low cost Xilinx FPGA-based MIPI interface IP that is optimized for cost sensitive video displays and cameras. The MIPI Display Serial Interface (DSI) and Camera Serial Interface 2 (CSI-2) have become the industry connectivity standards for low cost video displays and cameras across a wide variety of embedded systems. Xilinx FPGAs can now be used to connect image sensors and ASSPs that support the CSI-2 and DSI standards for the development of high bandwidth applications supporting 4K2K and beyond. The release of the support for MIPI furthers Xilinx’s Smarter Vision commitment by now enabling advanced real-time analytics and immersive display applications.
“MIPI DSI and CSI-2 is now the preferred standard for connecting low cost displays, cameras and video-capable application processors to Xilinx® 7 Series and Spartan® 6 FPGAs,” said Aaron Behman, segment lead, broadcast and professional A/V business at Xilinx. “As a result, FPGAs are being incorporated into more MIPI-based products today than ever before, especially in products that support 4K2K and beyond.”
Northwest Logic provides a full range of DSI (Host and Peripheral) and CSI-2 (Tx & Rx) Controller Cores. These cores fully support 1-4 lane and 8 lane (dual 4 lane) MIPI operation. The cores are delivered fully integrated with the PHY logic to implement Xilinx’s low cost MIPI Interface technique. “The Xilinx low cost MIPI Interface approach will enable a whole new range of FPGA-based MIPI products. The Northwest Logic MIPI cores that support this technique are fully hardware validated and released,” said Brian Daellenbach, president at Northwest Logic.
Xylon provides a broad range of video processing IP Cores. Xylon has taken a Xilinx FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC), which implements the low cost MIPI Interface approach, Northwest Logic’s CSI-2 and DSI cores and its own cores running on an off-the-shelf Zynq® All Programmable SoC evaluation board (ZC702 & ZC706) to create a comprehensive demonstration system. The demonstration system takes a live video stream from an OmniVision CMOS sensor (OV16820), processes it in a Xilinx FPGA and then streams it to a MIPI-compatible display. “This demo system shows that low cost, FPGA-based MIPI systems can be developed quickly and reliably using this interface approach and associated IP cores,” said Gordan Galic, technical marketing manager at Xylon.

Securing and moving a dynamic IoT
Rambus Fellow and futurist Rich Page is perhaps best known as one of the leading engineering architects responsible for the development of early MacIntosh systems. Page was also a co-founder of NeXT Computers with Steve Jobs, where he led the design of the famed NeXT Cube, NeXTstation and Turbo NeXTstation. After NeXT, Page was president of Sierra Research and Technology, where he led state-of-the-art designs for the networking space, shipping 622-Mbps ATM, 10/100-Mbps Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet designs.
From lensless sensors to artificial intelligence
The current paradigm of computational imaging is characterized by the co-design of optics and signal processing — eliminating the need for “traditional” human-interpretable optical images. Instead, human-interpretable digital images are computed from a sensed optical image.
