amphenol socapex expands its rj field & usb field range of rugged connectors with two new “reduced flange” versions: rjf tv6 & usb3f tv for reduced space applications Designed for reduced spaces in military and railway applications, the RJ and USB Reduced Flange receptacles combine space and weight savings with performances equal to standard RJF TV6 and USB3F TV receptacles. Their innovative design reduces the panel surface footprint by 40%. They are also 15% lighter than the standard RJFTV or USBFTV connectors. These receptacles are ideal for applications requiring a maximum number of RJ45 or USB connectors to fit in a small space or, when there are weight constraints. The RJF TV6 Reduced Flange connectors support data acquisition and transmission over Ethernet Category 6 for 10 BaseT, 100 BaseTX and 1000 BaseT networks in harsh environments. The Reduced Flange version is compatible with standard RJF TV and RJF TV6 plugs and caps. It also guarantees the same levels of performance and resistance to corrosion, shocks and vibrations as the standard version. USB3F TV – Reduced Flange Reduced Flange USB3 USB3F TV – Reduced Flange follows USB 3.0 performances and specifications. This receptacle is compatible with USB3F TV and USBF TV plugs and caps. It also guarantees the same levels of performance and resistance to corrosion, shocks and vibrations as the standard version. Both connectors use a MIL-DTL-38999 Series III thread coupling mechanism. In order to adapt to harsh environmental constraints, the connectors are available in different materials and surface treatments such as cadmium, zinc, black nickel, or nickel. These new connectors are available now through our network of distributors.

Intel Introduces ‘Intel AI: In Production’ Program – a New Way to Bring Artificial Intelligence Devices to Market Intel today unveiled “Intel AI: In Production,” a new program that makes it easier for developers to bring their artificial intelligence prototypes to market. Since its introduction last July, the Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick (NCS) has gained a developer base in the tens of thousands. Once developers have a prototype, the next step is to take it into production, which can be challenging and costly for small companies and entrepreneurs. To make it easier, Intel selected AAEON Technologies*, a leading manufacturer of advanced industrial and embedded computing platforms, as the first Intel AI: In Production partner. Through the program, AAEON provides two streamlined production paths for developers integrating the low-power Intel® Movidius ™ Myriad™ 2 Vision Processing Unit (VPU) into their product designs. The first option is the new AI Core from AAEON’s UP Bridge the Gap. It is a mini-PCIe module that features an Intel Movidius Myriad 2 VPU designed to work with a wide range of x86 host platforms. The AI Core delivers the low-power, high-performance capabilities of the Intel Movidius Myriad 2 VPU deep neural networks accelerator. It is also compatible with the Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute SDK software suite already used by thousands of machine learning developers and companies worldwide. For companies requiring further customization, AAEON offers development and board manufacturing services that will allow companies to move from Neural Compute Stick-based prototypes to custom boards in a streamlined manner. “Intel AI: In Production means we can expect many more innovative AI-centric products coming to market from the diverse and growing segment of technologies utilizing Intel technology for low-power inference at the edge,” said Remi El-Ouazzane, Intel vice president and general manager of Intel Movidius. “Intel Movidius Myriad 2 technology makes AI Core one of the most powerful and versatile AI hardware accelerators for edge computing,” said Fabrizio Del Maffeo, AAEON vice president, managing director of
