Terrestrial-based hyperbolic navigation technologies predate today’s satellite-based global positioning system (GPS). Starting with developments in the 1930s and 1940s, land-based long-range navigation (LORAN) systems using hyperbolic navigation have been continuously advanced. Today, the enhanced LORAN (eLORAN) system has been offered a more secure alternative to GPS. Hyperbolic navigation technologies were independently developed in the U.S. […]
FAQ
GPS is a ubiquitous and problematic technology
Much of the world depends upon satellite systems for precise navigation and timing services. The global positioning system (GPS) is a ubiquitous and problematic technology. Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is the umbrella term for satellite navigation systems that provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage. GNSS includes GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, and other regional […]

Embedded systems software and programming for a safer world
Functional safety is an important feature in many embedded systems today. Designers need to know the specific safety integrity levels that must be met in various application environments and software development standards and guidelines. The use of an integrated development environment can efficiently bring these various requirements together to maximize the productivity of the development […]
Securing embedded systems in a hostile world
The design of security for embedded systems is a critical and difficult task. Security requirements are often not fully identified at the beginning of the project. Once they have been identified they are not necessarily static and can change multiple times through the design cycle. One reason for changing security requirements is that the various […]
Managing power consumption and dissipation in embedded systems for a greener world
Three of the keys to successfully managing power consumption and dissipation in embedded systems are using various active power management techniques, power-aware code and software optimization, and making power management an integral part of the design flow process from the beginning. Active power management can include the use of power gating, clock gating, dynamic voltage […]
How “green” is your Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems face a set of conflicting goals: being accurate (consuming large amounts of computational power and electrical power) and being accessible (being lower in cost, less computationally intensive, and less power-hungry). Unfortunately, many of today’s AI implementations are environmentally unsustainable. Improvements in AI energy efficiency will be driven by several factors, including […]
