For many years it has been demonstrated that the use of digital technology, particularly embedded microprocessors, can improve flowmeter performance in various ways (e.g. temperature compensation, elimination of drift, generation of engineering units, diagnostics).
Embedded microprocessors fall into two broad categories: single-chip embedded solutions with on-chip memory like the 8031 and embedded systems using a microprocessor with external memory and input/output (I/O).
Assuming the current trajectory of development continues, cognitive radios, using the global positioning system to pinpoint location and embedded microprocessors, would be able to accomplish complex tasks that regular radios cannot, Dr. Reed said.
Quantum Effect Devices, a company that develops embedded microprocessors for routers, network computers, set-top boxes and other equipment, closed at $56.50, compared with an offering price of $16.
Considerable work in research laboratories is extending the actual development of embedded microprocessors to a more sweeping vision in which these chips will be found everywhere and will meet human needs wherever people go.
QED uses MIPS technology to design and manufacture embedded microprocessors.
QED makes embedded microprocessors based on MIPS architecture developed by MIPS Technologies mips.
Quantum Effect Design (known as Q.E.D ., of Santa Clara, Calif., uses MIPS technology to design and manufacture embedded microprocessors.
Renamed "embedded microprocessors" or "micro-controllers," Intel's older chip models have been given a new lease on life.
It is estimated that the average U.S. household contains at least 40 devices and appliances with embedded microprocessors.
