Electronics Westar Triton   January 2005   Welcome to the January e-Newsletter from QinetiQ focusing this month on Electronics as well as containing the latest news and pioneering developments from Europe's largest science and technology organisation. We welcome any feedback from you so please e-mail us.    QinetiQ Electronics Next generation telecoms and electronics systems must deliver ever-increasing performance. This means innovation amongst higher data rates, better spectrum efficiency and, inevitably, more algorithmic complexity. And of course, this must all be delivered at lower cost, reduced time-to-market and be compatible with the latest evolving standards. The news this month from QinetiQ's Electronics business is that QinetiQ has formed a commercial alliance with TEK Microsystems to jointly develop and distribute innovative embedded systems solutions. Another initiative is QinetiQ's lightweight and portable eye tracking system now being manufactured and commercially made available by Applied Science Laboratories (ASL), a pioneer in the examination of human eye movements and pupil dynamics.
