Embedded Design Show 2015

Following a very successful event last year we will once again be taking part in the Embedded Design Show, held at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry - 21-22 October.

Created to support the growing embedded electronics market, the Embedded Design Show offers a focused event for the industry. The exhibition will provide visitors with face to face access to a range of leading suppliers, offering design solutions for embedded requirements across all sectors.

A dedicated conference programme will address issues of direct relevance to the embedded sector, and high quality practical workshops will be taking place on both days within the two theatres on the show floor. The subjects covered range from software design and rapid prototyping, to material selection and test and measurement.

The Embedded Design Show will take place alongside the award-winning Electronics Design Show, which caters for the more general electronics issues.

Joining us on stand G32 is DAVE Embedded Systems, who will be hosting two live demos including the proof of concept BORA Xilinx 'Zynq' SoM with Lumineq display, and the very first UK outing for the brand new SBC AXEL, based on the Freescale i.MX6 S/D/Q core processor.

How Technology has Changed Tennis - Wimbledon 2015

With two of the biggest matches of Wimbledon 2015 taking place this afternoon on Centre Court we wondered how technology has made a difference to the tournament over the last few years.

Jeff Parsons from The Mirror took a tour around the technology hub at Wimbledon, which is run by keen and tech-savvy tennis players. The theory, according to Sam Seddon, IBM's client executive for Wimbledon, is that it's easier to take a player and teach them the computer stuff than it is to take a computer and teach it about tennis.

Over the years the hub has evolved, and now houses some of the most cutting edge tech available. They use laptops rather than PCs because of the high end graphics cards and the portability; because the hub is only temporary everything has to be removed after the tournament has finished.

Wimbledon 2015 – Tennis Technology

Tennis has changed a lot as a sport in recent years, with changes in court surfaces, rackets, the introduction of hawk-eye and the retractable roof built on Wimbledon’s Centre Court in 2009. With Wimbledon starting, let’s have a look at how changing technology has affected the world of tennis.

Enjoy the tennis, we'll be cheering them on this afternoon, Pimms in hand!
