ETX-PM

In the medical technology area, embed- ded computer systems by Kontron are successfully employed in an extremely wide range of applications and types of equipment. Compact, menu-operated dialysis equipment, for example, is controlled by way of EC modules and tailored carrier boards. Mobile and

stationary ultrasonic equipment for pregnancy checkups is fitted with Kontron control elements, as is state of the art medical technology in the mammography and mobile cardiology fields.

Clinical Workstation

The Clinical Workstation is one of the most advanced medical PC systems on the market. Approved and certified to operate as a data-collector in the operating theatre, this machine is con- nected to several technical devices and records all steps and events that take place during surgery. The powerful Intel® Pentium® M ETX-PM Module from Kontron allows it to handle several real time data connections simultaneously. It carries a high resolution graphical user interface. The system operates without a fan in a fully closed chassis. It is extremely shallow (85 mm) and waterproof (IP65 rating).

Ultrasound System

The latest generation of ultrasound systems is based on Kontron PCI 951 technology and it is in use, imaging more than 15 million women each year. Thousands of articles and studies attest to the clinical efﬁcacy of these indus- try-leading imaging technologies. With Kontron’s customized Intel® Pentium® 4 based PCI951 running under Linux, the world‘s ﬁrst and only system capable of true volume ultrasound has arrived. This powerful system enables real-time acqisi- tion, navigation and analysis of images, so clinical decisions can be made with unprecedented

conﬁdence.

Telematic Board

Telematics is a vibrant growth market in which Kontron modules have been building an impressive track record for decades. They are driving the operation of mobile, battery-based applications. Our ready to switch on standard systems, board level products and full

custom designs build an excellent base which can be used to realize almost any possible in-vehicle application. Kontron combines more than 15 years' presence in the telematic and transportation sector with a vast engineering exper- tise in Intel® XScale, x86 and other CPU designs. Our solutions are engineered, certified and optimized for reliable operation under the demanding con- ditions of the automotive environment.

In-Car-PC

In the constant endeavour to trim transport and logistics costs and optimize routes, more and more logistics companies are relying on fleet management systems based on Kontron customized board developments for their trucks. These computers must be compact, shock and vibration resistant and capable of coping with a wide

range of ambient temperatures. Due to battery powered operation, low power consumption is also an essential aspect. Kontron’s customized solutions are very cost efficient, as they are based on standard developments.

The signal generators are at home in both the digital and the analog worlds, from DC well up into the microwave range. We thus provide the basis for our customers to play leading roles on the market through high quality and competitive prices.

Open test platforms

One of the leading German manufacturers of test systems for the communications industry relies on innovative Kontron computers in its new high-tech family of modular universal testers that are

used in testing antenna systems among other applications. These test systems are unique in the market place, and are characterized by high flexibility and ease of operation. As the control elements are subject to 24 hour con- tinuous operation in mass manufac- turing, all of the tester modules must be front accessible and swappable; highly scalable computer performance is essential. With this criteria in mind, the customer opted for rugged CompactPCI computers.

Customized Train Management System

The Kontron Transportation (KTR) division was founded more than 15 years ago in Belgium and has built up a

portation market. COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) products, and semi and full custom designs, are successfully used with a focus on time-to-market reduction. KTR works with selected partners to ensure that standards (ISO9001, EN50155, Mil-Std, etc.) are strictly adhered to and organizes regular audit checks to assure the quality of all parts.

Train Management System

A leading train manufacturer builds its Train Management Systems (TMS) on Kontron’s reliable hardware. The E²Brain, a computer on module, is the "RISC- Processor Heart” of Kontron’s EN50155 certified GUI (Graphical User Interface). Through the GUI, maintenance personnel

logy and runs under Linux. The fact that KTR developed the Train Management System for these regional trains allows the customer to concentrate on the integration of his specific application.
