Exein Runtime Handles Threat Detection/Incident Response

Threats from outside sources are a huge concern to developers, OEMs, and end-system providers. Detecting those threats is one part of the solution. The other part is the incident response. To that end,?Exein, a global cybersecurity company specializing in IoT devices, is offering its?Exein Runtime, which as its name implies, is a state-of-the-art runtime threat detection and incident response solution (XDR) for Linux- and RTOS-based IoT systems. The below?video does a good job explaining how it works. Read more.

Power-Efficient Mini OLEDs Form the Basis of High-Brightness Micro Displays

Micro displays are no longer a thing of the future. With the products available today, OEMs can design systems that are power efficient, and produce high brightness and high contrast images. One example of a micro display comes from?Wisechip, with its?direct viewing miniature near-eye system mini OLEDs. The OLEDs provide clear information even in backlight by showing simple data and strings. Read more.

Local Dimming IC Enables Large, High-Contrast, High-Resolution Automotive Touch Displays

There’s been no lack of innovation in the automobile over the past few years, particularly in the non-mission-critical department, where modern cars are getting all the bells and whistles that consumers have become accustomed to, like now-mainstream touch displays.

To that end,?Synaptics?has developed a local dimming IC, the SmartBridge SB7900, which enables larger, higher-contrast, and higher-resolution automotive LCDs that measure up to 30 in. and offer resolutions up to 6K, all while lowering overall power and cost in the vehicle. Read more.
