What is the key to understanding the depth of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm’s unique power? Jeff Harris from Keysight Technologies shares his insights into how measurement determines the potential of your AI algorithm.

Determining the potential of your AI algorithm begins with measurement.
At the core of every AI algorithm are three basic ingredients:
- the ability to measure
- knowing how much of what you measure needs to be processed
- the ability to process more than one input at a time
To what depth a system can measure can be thought of as its potential.
Determining what aspects of those measurements must be sent to the processor can be thought of as delivering that potential.
Finally, knowing how to combine the salient parts of those measurements in the correct proportions, known as sensor fusion, is the key to exploring an algorithm’s IQ or reasoning potential.

i Light Singapore is back in Singapore Marina Bay from 3 – 26 June after a hiatus of two years due to the pandemic. The highlight of this year’s light festival is a floating exhibit titled “Lightwave: Isle of Light, empowered by OPPO”.

“i Light Singapore’s focus on raising awareness of sustainability is aligned with OPPO’s mission of ‘technology for mankind, kindness for the world’. We are excited to be part of the Festival for the second time as it returns after a two-year hiatus,” said Dylan Yu, Marketing Director of OPPO Singapore.
The annual light festival is organised by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) of Singapore and presented by DBS Bank.
i Light Singapore 2022 is happening from 3 to 26 June, 7.30 to 11pm daily with extended hours to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Here’s Jason Chen, Festival Director, presenting an overview of i Light Singapore 2022.
This year’s festival sees 20 light installations from 14 countries, of which Oppo’s floating exhibit is the highlight.
Titled “Firefly Field”, this exhibit is by multidisciplinary design studio TOER of the Netherlands and is my personal favourite.
The exhibit comprises five zones which include holographic projections, illuminated motion-capture graphics and shadow play, as well as light beams that create a mystical forest, and a light art showcase.

David Ruetz and Kai Mangelberger are taking over IFA 2022 as the Senior Vice President and Director of IFA 2022 respectively, receiving the batons from incumbents Jens Heithecker and Dirk Koslowski.

Leading the management for IFA 2022: David Ruetz (L) und Kai Mangelberger (R).
One hundred days before IFA 2022 opens its doors, Messe Berlin has appointed David Ruetz (53) and Kai Mangelberger (42) as the new dual heads of IFA 2022.
“I will be able to rely on the expertise of the IFA project team. My colleagues have been familiar with this market for many years and in the past have repeatedly shown that Messe Berlin knows how to do live events. Here in the capital we are offering our international visitors a platform for good business, networking and a good overview of trends,” said David Ruetz, SVP, IFA 2022.
This team replaces the previous IFA leadership of Jens Heithecker and Dirk Koslowski.
As head of ITB Berlin, the World’s Leading Travel Trade Show, David Ruetz has broad knowledge of developing successful global B2B projects.
As an experienced international communications expert, he has been in charge of ITB at Messe Berlin since 2002.
In this period he contributed decisively to transforming the trade show into a global brand.
During the pandemic, ITB was successfully able to drive forward digitalisation, and with ITB.com it created a main platform for the global tourism community.

The new EOS R7 (S$2,049) and EOS R10 (S$1,309) are the first to use APS-C sensors in Canon’s EOS R (for revolution) line of mirrorless cameras. Also introduced are two new RF-S lenses for the new cameras. Prices & Availability below.

The two new APS-C mirrorless cameras and lenses from Canon’s EOS R lineup.
The 32.5-megapixel EOS R7 and 24.2-megapixel EOS R10 are designed for more experienced users who require a fast camera to photograph dynamic subjects such as sports and wildlife.
The high-performance EOS R7 features In-Body Image Stabilization (In-Body IS), weather-sealing, and dual SD card slots, while the EOS R10 is designed for more standard everyday needs, featuring a built-in flash and a smaller form factor.
Canon launches the new cameras and lenses in Singapore. (Left) Edwin Teoh – Head Of Marketing. (Right) Andrew Koh – Head of Singapore Operations Group. Canon Singapore Pte Ltd.
Launched alongside the two cameras are the RF-S18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM and RF-S18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM — two new kit lenses for the EOS R7 and EOS R10.

We frequently see DDR SDRAMs as a key specification of computers and digital devices. In this two-part guest commentary, Ben Miller from Keysight Technologies shares his insights into the design of DDR SDRAMs (Part 1) and how faster memory speeds shape the future (Part 2).
DDR5 is still in the early phases of adoption. JEDEC released the standard in July 2020. The first CPU platform to support DDR5 was released in early 2022.
However, this platform still includes DDR4 support, so it could be some time before the industry accepts DDR5 as the de-facto memory standard and fully transitions memory systems to the new standard.
Faster memory enables the future
Over the next couple of years, more personal computers, servers, and embedded systems will take advantage of the higher speed, lower power, and greater memory capacity available with DDR5.

We frequently see DDR SDRAMs as a key specification of computers and digital devices. In this two-part guest commentary, Ben Miller from Keysight Technologies shares his insights into the design of DDR SDRAMs (Part 1) and how faster memory speeds shape the future (Part 2).
Faster data processing requires faster memory.
Double data rate synchronous dynamic random-access memory (DDR SDRAM) enables the world’s computers to work with the data in memory.
Faster, not wider
Since the origins of SDRAM, engineers have faced challenges with increasing memory speeds.

Figure 1: DDR has both one-way control signals and bidirectional data buses. Click to enlarge.
DDR emerged as a faster, more efficient way to handle memory, while providing a universal standard between chip designers and device manufacturers.
As shown in Figure 1, DDR memory consists of a memory controller which transmits clock, address and control signals, and a series of DRAM chips which store the data.
In a write operation, the controller sends data and strobe signals to the DRAM; in a read operation, the DRAM sends data and strobe signals back over the same bi-directional line.
DDR SDRAM became the standard in the late 1990s and has since been improved upon many times over.
Prior to DDR, memory speeds maxed out in the range of 100 MT/s.
