Bivar Joins PICMG Consortium at the Executive Level in Step with Planned PCI Components Products Group Introduction.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 10, 2000 Bivar Friday announced its acceptance into the PICMG An industry consortium that develops specifications for backplanes and interconnects for electronic equipment in the industrial and telecom fields. It was founded in 1994 as the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group, hence the acronym. (PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group), an international consortium of more than 500 leading companies who share interest in collaboratively developing specifications and products that will adapt to compact PCI technology. Within this field, compact PCI applications, those comprising Eurocard, rackmount, and PCI/ISA applications in the electronic enclosure and printed circuit and computer market, is one of the fastest growing segments in the electronics industry. Bivar will actively participate in their executive membership in PICMG coincidal with their planned introduction of a full complement of compact PCI card A circuit board that plugs into the computer's PCI bus and contains the control electronics for a peripheral device. Starting in the latter half of the 1990s, PCI became very popular. See PCI. guides, handles and accessories in the first quarter of 2001, creating a unique offering to the small and medium OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and (Original Equipment Manufacturer). These cPCI(TM) components will enable customers to design their own cPCI applications and enclosure systems, unlike the majority of present PCI suppliers focused on system-wide solutions. "Our focus is on supplying individual packaging solutions to the cPCI industry. It's a natural evolution for Bivar and being a part of PICMG will enable us to participate from a reasonably unique position vs. current leading suppliers focusing on PCI boards and busing systems," stated Anthony Vilgiate, vice president, new product development at Bivar. The first of the new series of products for this emerging market will be a series of cPCI Card Guides and a new Locking Ejector/Handle, smaller and lighter than any other similar products on the market. "The design of this new ejector/handle is anticipated to be a trendsetter trend·set·ter n. One that initiates or popularizes a trend: "The Golden State, ever the trendsetter, reformed its property tax" New York. in both function and form, while our new cPCI card guides will introduce a unique conductive interface that can create significant cost-savings in the assembly and electronics interface process," Vilgiate added. The recent introduction of BivarOpto's Sub-Miniature LED Assemblies designed for cPCI applications is illustrative of Bivar's natural roadmap to include products for the cPCI market, realizing the opportunities allowed by this growing standard for display innovation and miniaturization min·i·a·tur·ize tr.v. min·i·a·tur·ized, min·i·a·tur·iz·ing, min·i·a·tur·iz·es To plan or make on a greatly reduced scale. min . With reduced heights up to 30% less than 3HP (0.600") height limitations, these indicator stations provide up to 4-tier levels of 2mm LEDs and offer significant time and cost savings in installation, making them ideal for solutions needed in the small footprint and lower cost criterias of cPCI and VME card See VMEbus. cage applications.
