Adaptive Digital Technologies has been selected to develop a high-density turnkey DSP solution for TelcoBridges' TB640 platform.
This is the largest number of seats sold to a university to date, bumping CoventorWare to nearly 3000 seats worldwide, securing it as the largest installed base in the industry.
Risumeikan has been using CoventorWare for four years, yet the Department of Micro System Technology, College of Science and Engineering was established in April 2004.
This creates a new, dedicated MEMS department for the university.
The Micro/Nano Mechanics Lab is also known as "Isono Laboratory", named after Associate Professor, Dr Yoshitada Isono who oversees the MEMS programme.
The lab is at the forefront of microsystems research and will be used to train students in the mechanics and design of MEMS/NEMS devices.
Dr Isono is responsible for selecting software tools, creating the MEMS curriculum and class schedules and teaching students.
Research goals include developing new nanolithography and evaluation techniques for MEMS/NEMS material properties.
"This is a major investment by a university in MEMS research and design", said Director of Asia Pacific Sales, Benjamin Blackwell.
"Dr Isono has access to a variety of design tools, but he ultimately chose CoventorWare to standardise MEMS training at Ritsumeikan because it is the most complete suite of software tools for MEMS design".
