Parvus Corp has unveiled what it reckons is the first Fast Ethernet switching hub for embedded PC/104 applications.
Fingerprint board isn't fooled by phoney fingers
Parvus Corp is developing modular fingerprint identification hardware for embedded computer applications in co-operation with Fujitsu Microelectronics America (FMA).
Made of 59 durometer Silastic silicone rubber material, these compact shock isolators successfully reduce G-force frequencies on three axes by up to a factor of 10, making them well suited for a wide variety of mobile, airborne, shipboard, space, and other demanding applications common to the aerospace, defence, medical and transportation fields.
In fact, Shock Rocks have been implemented in a variety of Parvus' PC/104 systems integration projects for the military that require MIL-STD-810 survivability.
Designed to attach to the outside perimeter of a 4 x 4in PC/104 railed card cage, Shock Rocks isolate all points of contact between a removable aluminium card cage and its surrounding enclosure.
Mounting PC/104 modules within a card cage in this way eliminates the need for traditional PCB standoffs/spacers and provides a much simpler board removal method over PC/104 containers using compression-mounted rubber rails.
Depending on the size of the PC/104 card cage, typically eight to twelve Shock Rocks are attached.
Up to 14 PC/104 modules can be securely held in a shock/vibration-dampened railed card cage (available in 4.0, 6.0, 8.0 and 12.0in lengths) and placed within one of several Parvus enclosures, including its 5 x 5in extruded aluminium enclosure, ARINC 404A 3/4 ATR (air transport rack) chassis, and Quarter Turn Dzus rail mount enclosure.
Packaging PC/104 systems in such a configuration can provide a NEMA 4x environmental protection together with significant shock/vibration tolerance.
