Siemens has developed a compact electron accelerator for nondestructive
testing of materials or shipping containers. The Siemens
Industrial Linear Accelerator (SILAC) operates with a voltage
of between one and at most nine megaelectronvolts (MeV) — a
hundred times more energy than is needed for X-rays in medical
imaging diagnostics. The machine is already being used for materials
testing and is also suitable for security applications.
The standards that products are expected to meet are becoming
more demanding all the time: Rotors or turbine blades used in
wind power plants have to be very high-strength components,
and car engines must be durable and reliable. To test these features,
increasingly powerful imaging techniques are needed. To
test massive metal parts for hidden defects or wear, they are
X-rayed or even scanned to create a three-dimensional picture of
the structures involved — the same principle used when examining
bones in the body.
A detector can then create a projected image of the part, making
it possible to see differences in the density and thickness of
the material. Because of the high density of metals, this requires a
much higher beam energy than is needed in medicine. The required
electron energy of more than one megaelectronvolt is
generated by linear accelerators. Machines of this sort are also
increasingly being used to inspect ocean freight for smuggled
goods, radioactive materials, or weapons. To handle this job, the
machines have to be mobile, sturdy, and easy to use. On the
other hand, accelerators for material testing should be able to
depict parts made of different materials with as much contrast as
possible.
Using the technology for oncological radiation equipment as a
starting point, the experts at Siemens Healthcare in Rudolstadt
developed a compact accelerator unit in which the energy, dosage,
pulse duration, and pulse frequency of the X-ray beam are all
continuously adjustable. Users can therefore optimally adapt the
image contrast to the tested product. The machine is also available
in a portable version. The system is controlled by means of
user-friendly software, and it monitors itself: Integrated sensors
for temperature, the flow of cooling water, and the radiation dose
continually check the state of the machine.
Siemens customizes each machine to fit the needs of the
buyer, as in the case of the scanning equipment for the Fraunhofer
Institute for Integrated Circuits in Fürth, Germany. There,
construction is underway on a system with a diameter of 25 meters.
Scientists and industrial engineers will be able to use it to
scan aircraft parts or entire airplanes and depict them in three
dimensions.

October 13, 2010 - Siemens PLM Software announced Solid Edge software ST3 (Solid Edge ST3). With this latest release, Solid Edge delivers new functionality – enabled by synchronous technology – that significantly accelerates product design, streamlines revisions, and makes importing and reusing third-party CAD data easier. The release also includes a variety of enhancements related to simulation, design data management, and more than a thousand customer-driven improvements.
Fulfilling the vision of synchronous technology
Siemens PLM Software has extended the availability of synchronous technology by making it pervasive throughout the product. In addition to support for part modeling and sheet metal design delivered in earlier versions, synchronous-based models can now be used directly with all assembly applications – such as piping, frames, wiring, and assembly features. Also delivered is a synchronous-based part-to-part associativity that lets users establish and alter design intent before, during or after the assembly design process.
Solid Edge ST3 also provides a capability to work with both synchronous and non-synchronous (ordered) features in the same integrated design environment. Users can leverage synchronous features for accelerated design and flexible edits while adding ordered features for designing process-type parts, such as cast or machined parts. Ordered features in existing models can be selectively moved to the synchronous environment, providing designers with maximum flexibility and ease of use.
As more companies move from other 3D systems to Solid Edge to take advantage of synchronous technology, the new capability to merge 2D drawings with existing 3D models further expands opportunities for productivity. Manufacturing dimensions on 2D drawings can now be automatically transferred to the corresponding imported 3D model. The resulting “as-manufactured” 3D dimensions can be immediately edited, modifying the imported 3D model using synchronous technology.
Embedded Simulation
Building on its integrated simulation application, Solid Edge ST3 includes new torque and bearing loads, user defined constraints and new ways to connect assemblies such as bolt and sheet metal edge connectors. Faster results can be achieved with model simplification tools and better visualization capabilities that allow you to see inside the model. Refinements can be made using synchronous technology or ordered methods. Solid Edge allows design validation of parts and assemblies earlier in the product development process for quicker time to market and reduced physical prototyping costs
Scalable data management
Solid Edge ST3 with Insight data management solution now takes advantage of Microsoft SharePoint 2010 to further expand its scalable data management strategy. Leveraging the latest SharePoint platform extends collaboration to a wider range of CAD and non-CAD users by expanding project management, business analytics and social media capabilities. In addition, a standalone bill-of-materials (BOM) editor delivered with the embedded client in Solid Edge lets CAD and non-CAD users create product structures that can be opened in Solid Edge, Teamcenter software or Teamcenter Express software. The result is an accelerated design process as initial BOMs can be established and refined before the product design begins.
Listening to the voice of the customer
Delivering thousands of customer-driven improvements, Solid Edge ST3 provides even stronger business value throughout the product development process. New functionality was added in a wide variety of areas, including sheet metal, piping and frame design, assembly management, and drafting. Advances in sheet metal include new closed corner types, etching of part numbers and other geometry, and manufacturing-only features, such as tabs added for production or transportation purposes. Solid Edge continues to raise the bar in drawing creation, with the ability to embed all manufacturing dimensions and annotations, including item numbers, in the assembly, and even carry part colors through as line styles in the drawing. New multi-cultural drawings allow mixing of character sets from multiple languages on a single drawing or even in a single annotation. The streamlined user interface includes a fully customizable radial menu, drastically reducing mouse travel. Transparent feature and part management dialogs and reduced-size command interaction dialogs provide maximum graphics workspace area.
“We believe Solid Edge ST3 marks a major milestone in advancing the technology while still catering to customers’ specific needs,” said Dr. Ken Versprille, PLM Research Director, CPDA. “Synchronous technology has the capacity to perform a wide variety of design tasks in a fraction of the time it takes with a traditional approach. This could provide engineers with more time for creativity and innovation, resulting in better product designs produced faster.”
“With the levels of productivity improvement reported by customers all over the world, we are seeing real proof of the revolutionary breakthrough of synchronous technology,” said Karsten Newbury, senior vice president and general manager of the Velocity Series and Solid Edge business, Siemens PLM Software. “The time savings are significant, but even more importantly is the fact that Solid Edge with synchronous technology allows users to shift their focus to the actual design task versus thinking about how to use software.”
“Solid Edge ST3 really fulfils the vision of synchronous technology by making this revolutionary capability available throughout all areas of the software and enhancing its versatility,” said Dan Staples, director of Solid Edge product development, Siemens PLM Software. “Our number one goal when adding functionality to Solid Edge is to create business value for our customers, and we believe this release definitely achieves that objective.”
"Once we added Solid Edge Simulation, the bill from our outsourced professional engineer went down," says John Fillion, Mechanical Engineer at Modern Mechanical Fab, Inc.
“Inergi uses (Solid Edge with) Insight to manage over 105 thousand files for 30 different clients,” said James Bullington, Director of Engineering, Inergi. “Insight is very transparent to our users. They don’t know they are working on a remote sever anymore than their desktop. Insight is a key part of Inergi’s product development process and any design firm would benefit from its use.”“We have been using Solid Edge for 10 years,” said Olivier Pellerin, IT R&D Manager for Group SEB. “Solid Edge ST3 is the best release we’ve seen. The big benefit for Solid Edge is to be able to create and modify models very fast.”
“Solid Edge ST3 advances our award winning synchronous technology and maintains a strong customer focus,” said Bill McClure, vice president of product development for Velocity Series, Siemens PLM Software. “We take great pride in our business philosophy of putting the customer first, and Solid Edge ST3 embraces this philosophy throughout all areas of the product. With several new capabilities and thousands of customer-driven enhancements, Solid Edge ST3 incorporates the voice of the customer and demonstrates our ability to quickly respond to their product development needs.”

Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) plans to pull out all the stops to conquer the tablet PC market, CEO Paul Otellini announced this week.
Intel will use all of the assets at its disposal to win this segment, he said. Intel will offer tablets running Meego, the operating system that's a melding of its and Nokia's (NYSE: NOK) technologies. It will also pursue Android and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) Windows, Otellini added. His statements were made during the company's third quarter earnings call.
Currently, the semiconductor giant is offering its Oak Trail processors for tablets. These are part of the Intel Atom family.
"We're already seeing tablets available now based on Intel Atom processors, including the Archos 9, Lenovo S10-3t, Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO) Cius, and Asus eeePad," Intel spokesperson Suzy Ramirez told TechNewsWorld.
Can Intel's processors take on the A4 that's used by the iPad? Will Intel be successful in its plan to dominate the tablet PC market?
Hiding Out on the Oak Trail
Intel first announced the Oak Trail in June at the Computex show in Taipei. At that time, it said Oak Trail processors would be available to customers in early 2011
The Oak Trail platform is optimized for tablet and netbook designs. It consumes up to 50 percent less power than previous processors, offers full high-definition video, and is aimed at the Meego, Windows 7 and Android operating systems, Intel said.
Oak Trail is a system on a chip based on the Atom processor.
A system on a chip, or SOC, is a circuit into which multiple components are integrated. These may include digital, analog, mixed-signal and often radio-frequency functions.
Think of an SOC as a microcontroller on steroids -- where microcontrollers usually have less than 100 KB of RAM and are single-chip systems, SOCs use more powerful processors requiring external memory chips and various external peripherals. SOCs reduce manufacturing costs and let manufacturers reduce the size of their devices.
However, Intel's not letting out any more information about the Oak Trail processor.
"We have not disclosed any product features or additional details on Oak Trail," Intel's Ramirez said. "We've simply introduced the code name at this time. When it's announced, we'll offer more information."
Atomic Attack
Tablets running Intel's Oak Trail processors will be pitted against the iPad, which runs the A4 processor. The A4, designed by Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) and manufactured by Samsung, combines an ARM-based CPU with a PowerVR graphics processing unit and features very low power consumption.
Will Intel be able to compete?
"Atom has all the right features and capabilities that are important for tablets, including low power, performance for multitasking, rich media and the Internet," Intel's Ramirez said. "We already have several tablet designs in the market that are enabled by the Intel Atom processor."
Perhaps Intel needs to do more work on the Oak Trail processor.
"They're talking about x86 technology, which isn't necessarily on par in power consumption with ARM (Nasdaq: ARMHY) technology, and ARM technology isn't standing still," Jim McGregor, chief technology analyst at In-Stat, pointed out.
"The Snapdragon and other ARM products won't be single-core devices but multicore devices. So in the first quarter of 2011, you'll have single-core Intel Atoms going up against multicore ARM-based devices that in some cases will have state-of-the graphics technology," McGregor told TechNewsWorld.
"This is a battle about architecture," Carl Howe, director of anywhere consumer technology, told TechNewsWorld. "Specifically, Otellini wants tablet computers to be x86-based, whereas the dominant tablet today, Apple's iPad, and most smartphones are ARM-based."
The Road Less Traveled
Perhaps Intel needs to rethink its approach.
"Apple's coming at the tablet market as a commercial product developer, and Intel's approach is to be a supplier of tablet developers who want to compete effectively against Apple," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, told TechNewsWorld.
"What Intel really needs to do is produce a robust platform that's also flexible enough to be tweaked for the discrete needs of different OEMs," King added. "That's a bigger challenge than Apple's 'one iPad fits all' approach, but should also result in Intel-based tablets that can be designed for the needs of numerous discrete audiences."
Intel's apparently doing just the opposite.
"At this point, Intel's sticking with what it's got -- Oak Trail," In-Stat's McGregor said. "It's not customizing this significantly for vendors, and it has segmentation within the Atom product for each market segment -- embedded chips, home consumer electronics, tablets and so forth. It's all within Intel's standard product offering."

LOS ANGELES — A new project aims to produce a Google Maps-like guide of the brain's labyrinthine structure. At a presentation here at the SIGGRAPH interactive technology and computer graphics conference, researchers highlighted how a complete 3-D model of the brain could spark a new era in neurological research.
Called The Whole Brain Catalog, the project compiles data from across the research spectrum, in a variety of forms. It takes MRI data, pictures of stained neurons and theoretical diagrams of brain circuitry and presents them in a way that scientists, doctors and 3-D animators can digest in a unified way. Those users then contribute back to the site, wiki-style, to produce an increasingly full model of the brain at every scale, down to the molecular level.
“My dream is that you can built these simulations at any level of resolution,” said Stephen Larson, a neuroscience researcher at the University of California, San Diego, who works on the Whole Brain Catalog. “The key is to have something smaller than the brain that is still big enough for simulations.”
Mapping out all the connections in the brain has proved one of the most difficult challenges facing neuroscientists today.
Indeed, they often compare the intricacy of the brain to the human genome — the name given to the entire library of human DNA — and have nicknamed the total map of all the brain’s links the “connectome”, Larson said.
Even before the Whole Brain Project is completed, scientists could use the data to run tests in the computer, instead of on live subjects. This would drastically increase the range of possible neurological experiments, while significantly cutting down the cost, time and variables of studies.
Ultimately, the connectome can only be understood through a complete 3-D model that maps out every molecule, neuron and wrinkle, Larson said.
