VIA Technologies, the self-proclaimed No. 3 maker of Intel-compatible processors , has unveiled a new "reference design" for ultra-portable computers based on the company's own low-power chips.
Making a reference design is common fare in the high-tech industry. Chipmakers like Intel have been doing it for years as a way of proving the technical viability of a product concept. What sets VIA's approach apart is that the company is posting the computer-aided design (CAD) files for its OpenBook PC under a Creative Commons license.

OmniVision Technologies, Inc, the world's largest supplier of CMOS image
sensors, today launched its OmniBSITM architecture, a novel sensor design that
adopts a radically different approach to traditional CMOS image sensor
technology. Using backside illumination (BSI), OmniBSI enables OmniVision to
continue offering improved image quality while extending its pixel roadmap
down to 0.9 micron pixels, which is the key to continued miniaturization of
digital imaging technology. OmniVision developed OmniBSI architecture with the
support of its long-time foundry and process technology partner, Taiwan

Rapid prototyping can reduce the number of costly engineering changes made to a mold, cut the time-to-market for a new product, and—with the development of new RP systems and materials—even fill the gap between prototype and low-volume processing.
Developments in rapid prototyping (RP) have gotten to the point that firms such as Quickparts Inc. (Atlanta, GA) are gaining more notice, and more competition. As its name implies, Quickparts can supply parts, quickly, using CAD models to form parts via a number of RP methods

3D CAD and simulation software are helping electric vehicle teams address new aerodynamics, packaging and power design challenges
Designing a vehicle, whether a sports car or SUV, generally involves a core set of engineering challenges. There are issues around how to achieve great styling that appeals to the target audience along with complexities associated with optimizing performance — and zillions of others in between. Swap out the internal combustion engine for electric power and the hurdles multiply. The engineering team has to contend with the traditional set of design objectives along with new challenges in the areas of aerodynamics, packaging and power.
