Paired Wireless Sensor / Wireless Gateway Demo Note -- using 2.4GH AIR module & Texas Instruments SimpliciTI software
, and Anaren's target boards equipped with Anaren. Integrated Radio (AIR) modules based on TI's low-power CC1101 and CC2500 radios. The TI MSP-430. microcontroller used in the demo may be one of TI's new Value Line products (i.e. very low cost) as the. demonstration requires only 16 KB Flash and 512B RAM

Interfacing the KXP94 or KXR94 Tri-Axis Accelerometer with the Texas Instruments MSP430F149 Microprocessor to Measure Tilt and Other Motions (.pdf)
. This signal can then be. sent to a serial port, an IR chip, a flash NAND for storage, a USB port,. through SPI or I2C to another processor, etc. A serial port is used for the. following examples. In the examples that follow the MSP430F149 waits for user input, via the. serial port, to retrieve

Proper Calibration Techniques (.pdf)
Before any electrodes are placed into initial service and then about once a month thereafter, depending on the application, a two point calibration of the electrodes are required. A two point calibration corrects for changes in the output of the pH electrode (slope) and the millivolt offset (Eo

DSPs: Smarter than your average chip
, battery life can be extended from a few days to weeks or even months. DSP manufacturers are integrating more functions into the chip itself. Analog Devices' DashDSP family, for example, has common motor control peripherals, including Flash memory, integrated on a 28-pin IC. Such devices are being

FPGAs put PLCs in motion
is equivalent to rewiring the chip circuitry to perform different tasks. Most PACs also incorporate a floating-point processor in addition to the FPGA. The floating-point processor runs a real-time operating system that handles sequential tasks, similar to those run by a PLC. PACs combine the best

Mapping the Way to Innovation
carefully controlled conditions, the cell grows in a liquid medium of about 50 different nutrients such as sugar, salts and amino acids. After weeks of growth, the cell cultures are finally harvested for purification. Harvested material passes through six 200-liter flash chromatography. Quality
