The high defi nition multimedia interface (HDMI) is fastbecoming the de facto standard for passing digitalaudio and video data in home entertainment systems.This standard includes an I2C type bus called a displaydata channel (DDC) that is used to pass extended digitalinterface data (EDID) from the sinkdevice (such as adigital TV) to the source device (such as a digital A/Vreceiver). EDID includes vital information on the digitaldata formats that the sink device can accept. The HDMIspecifi cation requires that devices have less than 50pFof input capacitance on their DDC bus lines, which canbe very diffi cult to meet. The LTC®4300A’s capacitancebuffering feature allows devices to pass the HDMI DDCinput capacitance compliance test with ease.
The second edition of WiMax Operator鈥檚 Manual includes most of the material from the first
edition, plus new discussions of
鈥?The ultra-high-speed mobile telephone standard, HSDPA
鈥?Ultrawideband (UWB)
鈥?Changes to DSL technologies
鈥?Mobile voice
鈥?Mobile entertainment
鈥?New backup systems
The new edition also reflects the changes that have occurred in the industry over the last year and half, including the emergence of restandards wireless broadband equipment with fully developed mobile capabilities, ignificant alterations in the competitive landscape, and he opening of valuable new spectrum for roadband wireless operators.
C++ is widely used in the software industry. Some of its application domains include systems software, application software, device drivers, embedded software, high-performance server and client applications, and entertainment software such as video games. Several groups provide both free and proprietary C++ compiler software, including the GNU Project, Microsoft, Intel, Borland and others.
Introduction
? ?
The ARM Cortex -A8 microprocessor is the first applications microprocessor in ARM!ˉs
new Cortex family. With high performance and power efficiency, it targets a wide
variety of mobile and consumer applications including mobile phones, set-top boxes,
gaming consoles and automotive navigation/entertainment systems. The Cortex-A8
processor spans a range of performance points depending on the implementation,
delivering over to 2000 Dhrystone MIPS (DMIPS) of performance for demanding
consumer applications and consuming less than 300mW for low-power mobile devices.
This translates into a large increase in processing capability while staying with the
power levels of previous generations of mobile devices. Consumer applications will
benefit from the reduced heat dissipation and resulting lower packaging and integration
costs.
The wide deployment of wireless networks and mobile technologies, along with the
significant increase in the number of mobile device users, have created a very strong
demand on various wireless-based, mobile-based software application systems and
enabling technologies. This not only provides many new business opportunities and
challenges to wireless and networking service providers, mobile technology ven-
dors, and software industry and solution integrators, butalso changes and enhances
people’s lives in many areas, including communications, information sharing and
exchange, commerce, home environment, education, and entertainment. Business
organizations and government agencies face new pressure fortechnology updatesto
upgrade their networking infrastructures with wireless connectivity to enhance
enterprise-oriented systems and solutions.
Over the past few decades there has been an exponential growth in service robots
and smart home technologies, which has led to the development of exciting new
products in our daily lives. Service robots can be used to provide domestic aid for
the elderly and disabled, serving various functions ranging from cleaning to enter-
tainment. Service robots are divided by functions, such as personal robots, field
robots, security robots, healthcare robots, medical robots, rehabilitation robots and
entertainment robots. A smart home appears “intelligent” because its embedded
computers can monitor so many aspects of the daily lives of householders. For
example, the refrigerator may be able to monitor its contents, suggest healthy alter-
natives and order groceries. Also, the smart home system may be able to clean the
house and water the plants.
