Ethertronics' IMD(TM) Technology Chosen for Integration in Casio's GPR-100 Speedometer Watch.Isolated Magnetic Dipole magnetic dipole Tiny magnet with subatomic dimensions, equivalent to the flow of electric charge around a loop. Examples include electrons circulating around atomic nuclei, rotating atomic nuclei, and single subatomic particles with spin. Antenna Used in the Development of the World's Smallest GPS Applied Equipment SAN DIEGO San Diego (săn dēā`gō), city (1990 pop. 1,110,549), seat of San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1850. San Diego includes the unincorporated communities of La Jolla and Spring Valley. Coronado is across the bay. -- Ethertronics, the internal (embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. ) antenna technology leader for wireless devices, today announced that it has been chosen by Casio Computer Co., Ltd., one of the world's leading manufacturers of consumer electronics and business equipments solutions, to develop a high sensitivity GPS High Sensitivity GPS receivers use large banks of correlators and digital signal processing to search for GPS signals very quickly. This results in very fast times to first fix when the signals are at their normal levels, for example outdoors. reception antenna for the world's smallest GPS applied device - a GPS enabled wrist watch. "We selected Ethertronics for the GPR-100 because their Isolated Magnetic Dipole technology offered the design flexibility, precision and reception needed for this very intricate watch design," said E. Nakajima of Casio Computer Co., Ltd. "Ethertronics worked closely with our team to develop and perfect the antenna design which met our specifications and enabled Casio to offer this unique watch with exacting standards." Targeting runners, the GPR-100 is a light-weight wrist watch that has the ability to deliver distance and speed (pace) in real-time using its GPS reception antenna. The watch utilizes EWLP (embedded wafer level package) technology, which makes possible performance improvements and a reduction in size, thickness, and weight of electronic devices. The GPR-100 watch displays distance traveled, speed (pace) and measures/calculates pre-set goals (set by the user) with real-time data Real-time data denotes information that is delivered immediately after collection. There is no delay in the timeliness of the information provided. Some uses of this term confuse it with the term dynamic data. collected from the GPS antenna. "Being chosen by an industry pioneer like Casio is a true testament to our leadership position as an embedded antenna innovator," said Chris Dorny, VP Product Management at Ethertronics. "Despite inherent constraints within the Casio GPR-100 watch, Ethertronics was able to meet the receive sensitivity and size specifications required to integrate a high performance antenna into the watch design." Ethertronics' Isolated Magnetic Dipole[TM] (IMD IMD - intermodulation distortion ) technology delivers on the key needs of today's wireless devices. It has been designed to confine the current flow on the antenna element and optimize the isolation to deliver higher performance in a small form factor with minimal SAR (Segmentation And Reassembly) The protocol that converts data to cells for transmission over an ATM network. It is the lower part of the ATM Adaption Layer (AAL), which is responsible for the entire operation. See AAL. SAR - segmentation and reassembly emissions. About Ethertronics Ethertronics designs and manufactures high performance, internal (embedded) antennas for wireless devices. Selected by major customers to support a wide range of applications including cellular, UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) The GSM implementation of the 3G wireless phone system. Part of IMT-2000, UMTS provides service in the 2 GHz band and offers global roaming and personalized features. , WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and Digital Video Broadcast among others, our patented Isolated Magnetic Dipole[TM] (IMD) technology provides wireless equipment manufacturers with optimized antenna size and performance, while exceeding safety emission requirements.
