We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Programmable watchdog", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Processor companion brings more to the party from Ramtron International, which we summarised at the time by saying "Companion devices with up to 256Kbit of ferroelectric RAM include a more efficient trickle charger and a real-time clock that requires only a standard 12.5pF external watch crystal". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Companion devices offer CPU applications support from Ramtron International: "FRAM-enhanced processor companions support commonly needed system functions in processor-based systems such as meters and automotive telematics applications".
 
In April 2007, we covered the news from Winsystems concerning its PPM-GX - take a look at AMD-powered SBC keeps its cool without a fan which says: "The PPM-GX is a PC/104-Plus compatible single board computer based on the low-power high-integration AMD GX500 processor".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Adlink Technology, Appliance secures Internet access, as well as Fanless products boost embedded reliability from Acrosser, and ETX module promises speedy route to market from Commell.
