I must admit that I have a personal interest in this column. Hmm, that didn’t come out the way I wanted it to. Obviously, I have a personal interest in all my columns, but this one more so than most.
I have a cousin named Graham, who is three years older than your humble narrator (I pride myself on my humility). Graham … Read More → "21st Century Real-Time Navigation for the Visually Impaired"

I’ve just been introduced to a new technological concept and capability I’d never even contemplated before, and now my poor old noggin is buzzing with ideas. Let me set the scene. Suppose you were to wake up in a huge cavern at the bottom of the world’s deepest mine (I hate it when that happens). Also, suppose there are multiple tunnels leading off in … Read More → "High-Precision Positioning in the World’s Deepest Mines and on the Moon"
My head is currently spinning like a top. I foolishly wondered how much power AI-heavy data centers are currently consuming, and how much they are expected to consume in the coming years, and now I’m sorry I asked.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that global electricity demand from data centers will more than double to approximately 945 TWh by 2030, primarily driven by … Read More → "Will New Ultra-High-Performance AI Inference Chips Make AI Data Centers Cost-Effective?"
In this week’s podcast I investigate VITA, MOSA, and mission critical distributed processing systems! My guest is Daniel Toohey from Mercury Systems. Daniel and I discuss the new VITA 100 standard, how MOSA aligns with VITA and the critical role that system management plays in distributed systems. I also check out new research that questions long-held assumptions about … Read More → "MOSA, VITA 100 and Mission Critical Processing Systems"
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I’m a digital logic design engineer by trade. I bask in the certainty of the digital 0 and 1 domain, my mind lurches on its gimbals when faced with the wibbly-wobbly world of analog, and it cowers at the thought of radio frequency (RF) design, which—in my humble opinion—is best left to those who are … Read More → "Exceptional Multi-Mode Antennas for Your Inimitable Connected Devices"
