Tiempo Secure

Serge Maginot, CEO of Tiempo Secure, declares: “We are proud to have been selected and to bring our expertise to the Grand Défi Cyber. Thanks to the iMRC project, more resilient connected objects will be able to emerge: they will be able to detect and react to cyberattacks still unknown today!”

GRENOBLE, France (PRWEB)
February 23, 2021

Tiempo Secure, a semiconductor expert specializing in high security products, is one of the eleven companies selected by the French Government for its Great Cybersecurity Challenge (Grand Défi Cyber). Tiempo Secure’s iMRC (integrated Monitoring & Recovery Component) project, developed in collaboration with the CEA, targets cybersecurity automation and significantly improves the resistance of connected objects to cyberattacks.

The Great Cybersecurity Challenge is part of the EUR 1 billion plan aimed at strengthening the country’s cybersecurity by 2025. The government’s goal is to support French cybersecurity champions and address digital trust issues. Therefore, the objective is twofold: to support the development of the cybersecurity as a sector with a significant economic potential and to guarantee the country its control of essential technologies for its sovereignty. This acceleration strategy includes the Great Cybersecurity Challenge (Grand Défi Cyber) alongside several structuring programs for the sector, such as the actions of the “Security Industries” Sector Strategic Committee and the Cyber Campus; it is fully in line with the planned economic boost in 2021-2022.

Tiempo Secure’s iMRC (integrated Monitoring & Recovery Component) project aims at providing detection and resilience capacities for connected objects, one of the stated targets of the Great Cybersecurity Challenge. The CEA contributes to the iMRC project through its LETI and LIST institutes of CEA Tech, which is the “Technology Research” department of the CEA (the French Atomic Energy and Alternative Energy Commission).

Tiempo Secure is developing a new type of Secure Element that allows automatic detection of attacks on the object application component, thanks to an automatic connection with an AI (Artificial Intelligence) server. This way, in the event of a cyberattack on a connected object, control of the object can be regained remotely. The certified Secure Element is able to continuously monitor the behavior of the connected object and to take its control in the event of a cyberattack detection. The certified Secure Element also ensures a maximum protection of secrets (encryption keys, data and algorithms). The system put in place is intelligent because it is scalable as it allows to face new attacks thanks to Artificial Intelligence.

Serge Maginot, CEO of Tiempo Secure, declares: “We are very proud to have been selected and to bring our expertise to the Grand Défi Cyber. Thanks to the results of the iMRC project, new, more resilient, connected objects will be able to emerge: they will be able to detect and react to cyberattacks still unknown today!”

The 11 winners of the Grand Défi Cyber announced by the government are: Citalid, Harfang Lab, Wallix, Cyberwatch, Oodrive, Tiempo Secure, Olfeo, Égérie, Sekoia, MailInBlack and Iot.bzh.

The Ting Sensor watches over your home’s entire electrical system, and the app keeps you informed.

GERMANTOWN, Md. (PRWEB)
February 19, 2021

As Texans battle through the impact of extreme weather and electric utility grid power outages, an innovative smart home sensor is documenting the all too real power issues while also helping reduce the risk of home fires.

Over 10,000 homeowners in Texas have the added protection of Ting for their family and home. Ting oversees a home’s electrical network to detect faults that can lead to a fire inside a house and also detects faults on the utility grid that often cause power outages and, in some cases, ignite a fire inside or outside the home. Developed by Whisker Labs, Ting documented a sharp increase in home electrical fire hazards over the past several days across this virtual community of Ting sensors.

The extended reliance on space heaters, heating blankets, and other devices for warmth stresses both the home electrical system and the utility grid. These devices often use significant power, which can lead to increased fire risk. Sometimes a home electrical network is ill-prepared to handle an increased demand of this nature, leading to hazardous arcing – sometimes hidden in walls – that can lead to an electrical fire. In other cases, a device is not plugged in or connected correctly or is itself faulty due to age, wear, or poor design.

“Our Fire Safety Team has been working extensively with homeowners across Texas to mitigate these hazards,” says Robert Marshall, Whisker Labs’ CEO. “Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this severe weather and related utility grid events.”

With the same accuracy applied inside the home, Ting documented the Texas utility grid’s challenges in real-time. Each sensor detected the measured increase in grid events – power surges, brownouts, and outages. This video shows the utility grid events recorded by Ting in real-time over the past several days. Real-time correlation reveals power plant failures and rolling blackouts, preceded by surges and brownouts as the grid copes with heightened demand and weather-related stress. Not surprisingly, some of the detected events were grid faults that likely produced arcing and sparking hazards in local communities as ice and tree limbs wreaked havoc on power lines. This real-time capability heightens situational awareness and response precision for utilities.

“We’re grateful for the opportunity to help protect homes and families across Texas and to help utilities in their efforts to keep the grid safe and operational. We wish all Texans well in this challenging time,” added Marshall.

ABOUT WHISKER LABS

Our passion lies in creating smarter solutions to hard problems. Better electrical fire prevention is one of them. A challenge for well over a century, we’ve unlocked incredible insights into electrical anomalies in very fine detail, in real-time, from a single intelligent sensor. We’ve packaged this into Ting, the next wave in fire prevention technology. Ting is DIY and plugs into any outlet, and the homeowner, in 2 simple steps, activates it. Ting’s principal purpose is monitoring a home’s electrical network for electrical hazards that often lead to the most devastating type of home fire. Still, Ting serves an expanding role as a fitness tracker for the home, smartly monitoring and alerting homeowners to meaningful events that impact everyday life. Beyond electrical health inside the home, Ting monitors the quality of power delivered by electric utilities, identifying utility grid faults that once inside the house can induce fires, damage appliances, and create electrocution risks. These same faults can also serve as an ignition source for devastating wildfires, similar to those occurring in central and western states in recent years. Ting’s unprecedented track record leads a new wave of safety technology with broad appeal and multiple prospective applications. For more information, please visit http://www.tingfire.com.

FineTech Lambda Machine

Technology is pushing the limits to the point where now this type of accuracy for die bonding is needed for our PCB microelectronics assembly.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (PRWEB)
February 22, 2021

NexLogic Technologies, Inc., an EMS provider offering both PCB SMT and microelectronics assemblies, announces the installation of a highly advanced Finetech FINEPLACER® lambda sub-micron die bonder system in its PCB microelectronics assembly line. According to the manufacturer, Finetech, the new die bonder has accuracies of 0.5 µm and is designed for precision die attach and advanced chip packaging.

Zulki Khan, Founder and President of NexLogic Technologies, said, “This relatively new technology arrives at the right time when OEMs, especially medical device OEMs, are developing and producing dramatically smaller products such as wearables, IoT devices, medical ingestible, insertable, and implantable products, and an array of other types of advanced small PCB designs. Technology is pushing the limits to the point where now this type of accuracy for die bonding is needed for our PCB microelectronics assembly.”

A technology called “fixed beam splitter” is among the top features of the new die bonder. This special feature provides NexLogic customers with numerous types of bonding technologies such as thermocompression, which is a specific need with the die attach process. Thermocompression is ideally suited for copper-pillar flip chip applications. Other types of bonding technologies the die bonder provides includes soldering, adhesive, and ultra-sonic.

NexLogic’s new Finetech FINEPLACER lambda sub-micron die bonder will be used for state-of-the-art projects involving sensor, diode, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), biosensor applications. For sensors, NexLogic is equipped to use either diode or sensor bonding, relying on either traditional organic substrates, like FR4, polyimide, Rogers or Teflon or non-organic substrates like alumina, aluminum nitride, aluminum carbide, and boron carbide.

Along with the new sub-micron die bonder addition, a number of medical device OEM customers are taking advantage of other benefits the company’s PCB Microelectronics assembly offers them. Those include: application in high resolution image processing applications, LIDAR technology, and high-end photonic products.

The company has on its premises an ISO 14644-1 Class 4/10,000 and the equivalent Federal Standard 209E (FS209E) Class 1000 clean room as an integral part of its PCB microelectronics services and manufacturing capability.

Also, the company’s PCB microelectronics assembly and manufacturing line includes such leading systems and equipment as a Kulicke & Soffa (K&S) IConn MEM Plus high- performance wire bonder for gold and silver alloy wire bonding and a Nordson EFD precision fluid dispenser system.

Other equipment includes multiple Hesse Bondjet 820 fully automatic fine wire bonders, multiple MRSI 705 auto die placement devices, Janome JR3303 Robotic level flux and epoxy dispenser, TPT-HB16 Wire/Ball Bonder, Royce 620 Multi-test Bond Tester and sheer strength puller, and Keyence VK-X1000 Profile Measurement Microscope for wire bond inspection and verification.
