OEMs are experiencing increasing application complexity and the need for AUTOSAR, ISO 26262 functional safety-compliant and secure solutions as the market for electric and autonomous vehicles grows. For automotive developers looking to design scalable applications for future technology while also meeting the latest automotive requirements, Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announces a comprehensive ecosystem around AUTOSAR-ready dsPIC33C Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) to enable accelerated development and a high level of system optimization while reducing total system cost.

Microchip is expanding its broad portfolio of dsPIC33C DSCs to cover the large memory segment with the new ISO 26262-compliant dsPIC33CK1024MP7xx family. This new family of dsPIC33C DSCs with 1 MB Flash enables applications running automotive software like AUTOSAR, OS, MCAL drivers, ISO 26262 functional safety diagnostics and security libraries. The family of dsPIC33 DSCs also includes a high-performance Central Processing Unit (CPU) with deterministic response and specialized peripherals for general automotive, advanced sensing and control, digital power and motor control applications.

“The AUTOSAR-ready dsPIC33C DSCs enable designers to achieve a high level of system optimization by implementing AUTOSAR-based applications, functional safety goals and security use cases in a single microcontroller (MCU) while meeting robust automotive application requirements,” said Joe Thomsen, vice president of the MCU16 business unit at Microchip Technology. “This opens up a world of opportunities for designers looking to work with Microchip while expanding into e-mobility and advanced sensing and control applications.”

The benefit of adopting AUTOSAR-ready devices like this one is that customers can improve their risk and complexity management while decreasing development time through reusability. Customers who have previously designed bare metal or non-AUTOSAR automotive applications and are now adopting AUTOSAR can scale up by staying within the dsPIC33C DSC ecosystem and continuing to take advantage of Microchip’s value-added solutions, customer support and product advantages with the new AUTOSAR-ready dsPIC33C DSCs. The AUTOSAR ecosystem for the dsPIC33C DSCs includes MICROSAR Classic from Vector, KSAR OS from KPIT Technologies Ltd. and ASPICE- and ASIL B-compliant MCAL drivers from Microchip.

“We have worked with our partners to offer an integrated solution to simplify development for automotive OEMs and Tier 1s” said Matthias Kaestner, vice president of Microchip’s automotive products business unit. “The integrated solution gives insights into the AUTOSAR-based development. It simplifies evaluation of an ECU project using AUTOSAR 4.3.x and enables customers to get familiar with the systems based on dsPIC33 AUTOSAR-ready DSCs quickly.”

Microchip has expanded its functional safety packages that include FMEDA reports, safety manuals and diagnostic libraries to cover the ISO 26262-compliant dsPIC33CK1024MP7xx DSCs. These AUTOSAR-ready dsPIC33C DSCs, used together with Microchip’s TA100 CryptoAutomotive™ security integrated circuits (ICs), enable the implementation of robust security in automotive designs.

Development Tools

Software and tools from Microchip Technology include certified MPLAB^® XC16 compiler functional safety licenses, MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE), MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC), programming and debugging tools for dsPIC33C DSCs, ISO 26262- and ASPICE-compliant MCAL drivers for dsPIC33C DSCs, ISO 26262 functional safety packages for dsPIC33C DSCs and software libraries and reference code for security use cases.

Advantages of Cost to Strengthen the Global Market Growth

Desk-based office employment contributes significantly to sedentary lifestyles. For instance, employees tend to remain in offices for several hours, then commute home, eat food, and ultimately unwind on their sofas. Long hours of sitting at a desk, integrated with environmental elements like workplace stresses such as meeting deadlines and artificial light, can have a detrimental impact on employees’ mental and physical well-being. As a result, more businesses are implementing workplace wellness programs in order to encourage employees to enhance their physical activity, thus improving their cardiovascular and general health. On-site gyms and fitness sessions at workplaces also offer an opportunity for personnel who may not otherwise incorporate an exercise program. Furthermore, the corporation may also pay for workers’ fitness expenses, supply corporate fitness monitors, organize group exercises, and provide premium access to wellness applications.

Biometric Screening is the Fastest-Growing Service

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, biometric screenings are the measurement of physical characteristics like aerobic fitness, blood glucose, blood cholesterol, blood pressure, BMI, weight, and height. These can be taken at workplace as part of health assessment to evaluate ad regulate changes in the employee stats. Also, the biometric screenings aid in minimizing health risks, boost employee productivity, lower healthcare expenditure, and enhance health status.

Asia Pacific is the Fastest-Growing Region

The foreign direct investments and relaxation of barriers have facilitated the entry of several Europe- and US-based companies into the Chinese and Indian markets. This has also enabled the entry of intellectual resources like healthcare guidelines, training modules, and welfare schemes. As a result, workplace wellness practices also have made their way to the Asia-Pacific regions.

The competitive rivalry is determined by technology parameters, service reliability, and cost of provided services. ComPsych,Wellness Corporate Solutions (Labcorp Employer Services), Virgin Pulse, Aduro Inc, Vitality Group, etc., are among the eminent companies in the market.

Los Angeles, CA, USA, May 20, 2022 -- The varied and wonderful pieces collected by the late Kirk and Anne Douglas brought out thousands of bidders to achieve ‘white glove’ results in the online auction to benefit The Douglas Foundation. The sale was held on May 18th by Andrew Jones Auctions and achieved a total of $343,000. Over 200 lots of modern art, antiques, tribal works, fine and costume jewelry, personalized accessories, memorabilia, books and ephemera were offered.

“This was our sixth ‘white glove’ sale since October,” said Andrew Jones, president and CEO of Andrew Jones Auctions. “The bidding was buoyant throughout, with multiple bidders for every lot. People appreciated the Douglas’s exquisite taste. The sale attracted a host of new clients who undoubtedly sought a memento from this legendary Hollywood couple. In the end, a great deal of money was raised for The Douglas Foundation and all of the very worthy causes it supports.”

All prices quoted in this report include the buyer’s premium. Internet bidding was facilitated by AndrewJonesAuctions.com and the popular platforms LiveAuctioneers.com and Invaluable.com.

Top lots included Antoni Clavé’s oil on canvas L’enfant à l'oiseaux and Gorge d'Incre, 1993, a lithograph and screenprint in colors by pop art influencer David Hockney. Both works achieved $37,500. Also sold was Absolut Vodka, 1985, an offset lithograph in colors by Andy Warhol, as well as a monumental 1963 abstract sculpture in aluminum by William (Bill) Tarr, which graced the foot of the couple’s own Walk of Fame in the backyard of their Beverly Hills home ($8,750).

Most of the Douglas’s marvelous selection of fine Chinese works and Asian works of art outperformed their pre-sale estimates, including a Chinese Export porcelain jardiniere on stand which made $11,250, a twelve-piece group of Chinese Export porcelain tobacco leaf pattern serving ware that realized $8,125, and a Mughal style gem set gold box that achieved $6,250.

Other stars of the day included a striking Oushak carpet from West Anatolia from the early 20th century that changed hands for $10,625, an Italian Baroque painted relief plaque of a palm tree that went to a determined bidder for $8,750, an 18K gold and mixed gemstone pendant necklace that gaveled for $5,750 and a group of six Stanley Kubrick signed books that finished at $4,000.

Longtime philanthropists Kirk and Anne started The Douglas Foundation in 1964, which has since supported many institutions focused on the arts, healthcare, education and women and children’s wellbeing. The Douglas Foundation has donated over $120 million to the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, the Motion Picture & Television Fund (MPTF), and The Entertainment Industry Foundation’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund, as well as other worthy organizations.

Kirk met Anne Buydens, a film publicist, on the set of Act of Love in 1953 and they married a year later. Before joining the film industry, Anne worked in a Paris gallery where she developed a keen eye for modern art. Kirk and Anne Douglas spent six decades building a collection of fine art, antiques and memorabilia that capture the time they shared, their friends, work and history.

Next up for Andrew Jones Auctions is Part V of The John Nelson Collection on Sunday, June 5th, followed by property from the collection of Dino and Martha De Laurentis and the private collection of Mitzi Gaynor, both to be held on June 29th.
