Hirsch's Verification Station Earns Top Products Award

The Hirsch Electronics Verification Station--General Purpose (Model RUU-GEN) is a high-security, multi-purpose biometric system. The RUU enables the administrator to capture fingerprints, encode smart cards, and manage users and biometric devices. The RUU also controls access to a door or gate and verifies claimed identities at a guard or visitor checkpoint. Administrators can chose from twelve modes (e.g., finger-only, card+finger, card+code+finger, etc.), and change the combination of authentication factors as the need or situation changes. The unit is IP addressable and Power over Ethernet- (PoE) ready.

Supersize Your DIgital Signage

Mitsubishi Electric recently introduced a new, affordably priced, pre-packaged LED billboard monitor for indoor use. At 140" diagonal, measuring roughly 10 feet wide and 6 feet tall, the Mitsubishi Resolia™ is the sign for all signs! Airports or train stations, shopping malls, museums or even indoor sporting arenas, the Mitsubishi Resolia is sure to capture the most attention with its vibrant colors and crisp images. The Mitsubishi Resolia is a great alternative to customized LED displays when a quick and easy setup is required, and a fixed size display fits the bill. Priced at approximately a third of what someone would normally pay for in a similarly-sized but custom-built LED monitor, the Mitsubishi Resolia allows you to put up more supersize signs with the same budget allocated for custom-built LED monitors, square foot by square foot.

W5300 - New Embedded-Internet IC with fully-hardwired TCP/IP core and PHY interface designed for high-speed embedded systems.

Pittsford, NY: W5300 is a new, full-featured 10/100 Ethernet controller IC from WIZnet, three times as fast and with double the channels of its predecessor W5100. W5300, with built-in MAC and PHY, offers stable speeds up to 50 Mbps - enough to watch movies in real-time rather than buffered. W5300 supports eight independent, simultaneous sockets, with a 16- or 8- bit data bus. W5300 is as simple to control as a memory IC and is capable of even supporting, for instance, simultaneous broadband access, VoIP, and digital broadcasting. Supporting most Ethernet Protocols (TCP, UDP, ICMP, IPv4, ARP, IGMP, PPPoE) with internal hardware, W5300 also supports hybrid (software and hardware) TCP/IP stacks. Using an internal 150MHz core, W5300 dynamically allocates its internal 128Kbyte Tx/Rx memory according to socket throughput.

First Embedded Modules To Run .NET Micro Framework With Fatfile and USB Capabilities.

Embedded Master is a family of embedded products that implement Microsoft's .NET Micro Framework. Developers can run C# managed code inside Embedded Master or use Visual Studio to create and debug programs quickly and effectively. Embedded Master is the first OEM device to implement .NET Micro Framework that also adds a FAT File System and USB Host capabilities on a tiny 1.55" x 1.55" board. Users can access files on SD cards or memory devices (thumb drive, USB hard drive, etc.) and also use other USB devices such as, mice, keyboards, joysticks, printers and Bluetooth dongles. Windows SideShow is also fully supported through USB or Bluetooth. Microsoft .NET Micro Framework extends the advantages of .NET and Microsoft's Visual Studio tools to a class of smaller, less expensive, and more resource-constrained devices than the .NET Compact Framework or the standard .NET framework. Embedded Master adds additional features to the .NET Micro Framework, allowing access to files on SD/MMC cards and USB memory devices. Also, with an embedded USB host stack, other USB devices can be used as well (e.g. mice, keyboards, joysticks, printers, Bluetooth dongle, etc.) Other hardware classes are provided to support the many available peripherals such as ADC, DAC, PWM and more.

Cerus Industrial Develops Smart Starter for Building Automation

Beaverton, OR: Cerus Industrial, a leader in motor controls for the building automation industry, introduced their intelligent Building Automation Starter (BAS) with BACnet communication for building control systems. The BAS starter is designed specifically for building automation applications and as such, comes complete with built-in sensors and monitors required for building automation systems. It also has the added benefit of a single point of communication and control through BACnet communication, the preferred protocol for building automation systems. Monitoring is integrated into the intelligence of the starter, providing important supervisory and maintenance information. Damper and actuator control functions also reduce control points on the building management system, improving throughput and performance while reducing installed cost. The BAS starter is available from ¼ HP to 300 HP, and is sold exclusively through Cerus Industrial’s Dealer Network.
