Challenges in developing Smart Meters
Smart meters are one of the key elements of Smart Grid. No more the energy meters are simple electromechanical units. Though at core level, it will retain the basic metering functionality and features of older electromechanical unit, now it is getting packed with advanced features to drive the efficiency, control and transparency. Also, there is push to release the smarter meters in shortest possible time to market because of market demands. The Meter developing companies needs to adapt to these changes while developing the smart meters. This paper presents challenges in developing the smart meters and key attributes to be considered while developing smart meters.

Introducing the Extensible Processing Platform architecture for Video Processing and Networked Applications
Image processing is becoming a requisite across an expanding arena of applications. The ability to process and enhance multiple images in real-time is increasingly prevalent in a broad base of embedded applications, including networked systems where specific and often time continual monitoring of surroundings is required. The technology is gaining ground in networked command and control systems such as industrial applications where critical decisions must be made; in military communications systems where information is relayed back for threat analysis scenarios; and in guidance systems where imaging is critical for proximity and telemetry determinations. Key common technology denominators are high performance signal processing, control plane processing capable of running industry standard, and customizability. This paper presents a discussion of a highly scalable and extensible embedded processing platform and how the challenges associated with these type of networked image processing systems can be addressed with a unique and innovative architecture that provides hardware and software flexibility in a familiar design and programming environment.

Optimization of Power Converters’ Efficiency Using Digital Technology
As energy prices are increasing and green initiatives gaining success, telecom companies and government regulators are ratcheting up the demands on power-supply engineers to improve the efficiency of the systems. With stringent regulations, and more on the horizon, power-supply engineers and manufacturers are turning to digital control. In a fully-digital controlled power supply solution, a fully-programmable Digital Signal Controller (DSC) directly generates the PWM signals that control the power stage. At the same time, the controller handles system-management tasks, such as data logging, communication and fault reporting. DSC will allow implementing non linear control methods to improve the system efficiency and are also flexible to implement advanced control strategies.
