EMBEDDED APPLICATIONS WITH INCREASED MEMORY REDUCE COSTS.Encirq Corporation, San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden , Calif., has introduced Encirq 3e Database Suite for Embedded Systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. , a suite of technology, tools, and components for creating the world's smallest embedded databases -- often in less than 50K. With Encirq 3e, developers can create application-specific databases without sacrificing performance or features. The highly compact Encirq technology is being used successfully to improve productivity and shorten development cycle on a wide range of products --from autos to cell phones. "Size matters," said Mark Vogel, founder and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Encirq. "For designers of embedded applications, increased memory efficiency can considerably reduce deployment costs and reduce power needs. And since the Encirq 3e database development tools generate completely custom portable C code, developers get the rich features their applications demand in the smallest possible size, without any excess baggage excess baggage n → exceso de equipaje excess baggage excess n → excédent m de bagages excess baggage excess n ." In addition to its radically small footprint, Encirq 3e offers developers the best combination of high performance, easy programmability, power and affordability for embedded applications. Encirq 3e databases are more than twice as fast and less than half the size of Encirq 2e databases, can operate with or without an operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. , and run on 16- and 32-bit microcontrollers and microprocessors. Working through worldwide distribution partners, Encirq's customers are benefiting from improved productivity and shortened development cycles on a wide range of innovative, new industrial and consumer products. "We have licensed Encirq 3e to a major Japanese communications equipment company and they have dramatically reduced the development time, reduced the memory needs, and extended battery life in a product that was using a proprietary data management solution," said Hiroyuki Kato, president of A.I. Corporation, a leading technology reseller in the Japan industrial software market. This yet-to-be-announced product uses micro-ITRON, a popular real-time operating system (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. in Japan. Features of the Encirq 3e Database Suite Encirq 3e Data Expert development tools -- Database and data management tools that are seamlessly integrated into popular IDEs, including Metrowerks CodeWarrior Development Studio and Microsoft Visual Studio Microsoft Visual Studio is Microsoft's flagship software development product for computer programmers. It centers on an integrated development environment which lets programmers create standalone applications, web sites, web applications, and web services that run on any platforms -- A powerful program logic language, an interactive prototyping tool, and a code generator See application generator and macro recorder. that analyzes data logic and creates highly optimized, portable C code specific to an application's needs. Encirq 3e \CL Component License Packs -- Runtime system component libraries that include the Encirq \SL Service Library and Encirq 3e Streaming Data Data that is structured and processed in a continuous flow, such as digital audio and video. See streaming audio and streaming video. Engine. Pricing and Availability The Encirq 3e Database Suite is available immediately. While conventional embedded data management solutions typically have licensing fees of anywhere from several dollars to several hundred dollars per user, Encirq 3e is priced under $1 for customers with shipments in excess of 50,000 units. Encirq 3e is available directly from Encirq Corporation or through worldwide distribution partners, including A.I. Corporation in Japan. A 30-day Encirq 3e Evaluation Pack is available for free.

About Encirq Corporation Encirq Corporation, a privately held company privately held company A firm whose shares are held within a relatively small circle of owners and are not traded publicly. headquartered in San Francisco, Calif., is a leading provider of database tools, technology, and components for embedded systems and applications. The Encirq 3e Database Suite reduces development effort, while increasing the functionality, reliability and affordability of any embedded system. Encirq's products also make it possible to create new, high value applications that, until now, have been constrained by technical feasibility or cost. The Encirq 3e technology does not require an embedded operating system An operating system used in special-purpose applications (embedded systems). Embedded operating systems are typically very compact and often designed for real time operations. See embedded Linux, QNX, OS-9, Windows XP Embedded, Windows CE, VxWorks and Symbian OS. , but will work with all major embedded operating systems, virtually any processor and popular development tools.
