Now, at a time when the Internet is pervasive and newspapers threaten to be replaced by portals worldwide, it's no wonder that two professors at Ramapo College of New Jersey have created a blueprint for the future of 3D printing, a technology that, through a digital conduit, can exploit the World Wide Web. The author talks to professors Philip Anderson and Cherie Ann Sherman about their ideas for making three-dimensional printing as much of a 'disruptive technology' as downloading music files or toting a digital camera. - Source: Engineering & Technology, Volume 3, Issue 1, p. 27 –29

This article deals with the mythology that surrounds the law driving the semiconductor industry. Device scaling on its own is not enough to drive a doubling in chip capacity. For most chipmakers, the rise in on-chip memory has provided a way of increasing capacity beyond what is supported by linear scaling. The manufacturers have been subtly altering SRAM cells to improve their density. - Author(s): M. Oinonen ; A. Kelloniemi ; M. Kivikoski

Building reconfigurability into gain-control circuits demands a different approach to existing linear techniques. Automatic gain control (AGC) circuits turn up in many applications and there are a variety of ways to implement them. But a drawback with many designs is that they cannot be reconfigured. Reconfigurability is important in audio and active noise control (ANC) applications, because such systems can be installed into various environments. A supermarket and an aircraft cabin have different kinds of acoustic environments. In acoustic noise-control applications the acoustic environment defines signal amplification and also other parameters of the noise controller. - Author(s): S. Paatz

Institutions as diverse as governmental agencies, professional interest groups, airline companies, air navigation service providers, universities, research institutes, and equipment and airframe manufacturers have all embarked on a joint venture to create and implement the new system. The thinking behind this development is that the current air traffic system too focused on reactive measures on a tactical scale and that this results in a sub-optimised flow management. To overcome this, the main thrust of the new development concentrates on Air Traffic Management (ATM), as opposed to Air Traffic Control (ATC). This requires that the future ATM be designed around the three basic pillars of aviation: Communication, Navigation and Surveillance and is called CNS/ ATM. - Author(s): M. Venables

Enterprise mobility accelerates the trend towards centralisation and consolidation of information technology - in particular the management and governance of data. However, the mobile devices capable of running high-end IT applications and delivering gains in productivity also bring big security, management and compliance challenges. Enterprises are responding by bringing tools like smart phones, PDAs and even USB memory sticks within the realm of existing IT policies, support teams, and management systems. Often mobility is the last nail in the coffin for the data networking configurations that have dominated enterprise IT since the early 1990s: client/server is finally conceding to the 'big iron' it once looked like obliterating. - Author(s): I.
