A virtual event featuring technical presentations and demos focused on the latest solutions in mobile and markets such as 5G, automotive and IoT, the 2021 conference offers the opportunity to showcase your company or share your technical knowledge with a global audience of developers, system architects, test engineers, designers and others in the mobile and mobile-influenced ecosystems.
New MIPI White Paper Focuses on Compression for Automotive Displays
MIPI Alliance has released a new white paper, Validating the Use of Compression for Automotive Displays, which examines the impact of automotive trends on display requirements and shares the results of a recent image compression study conducted by the MIPI Display Working Group.
MIPI CCS Tools Simplify Sensor Integration
Released by the MIPI Software and Camera working groups, the publicly available MIPI CCS Tools helps hardware engineers, programmers and testers take advantage of CCS static data without writing their own tools or debugging multiple implementations. CCS static data is the standardized method in MIPI Camera Command Set (MIPI CCS℠) v1.1 for describing a sensor's limits and capabilities outside of hardware.

UNDERSTANDING THE IEEE STANDARDS AND PROCESSES THAT AFFECT FUEL CELLS
This article contributed by By Karen Quackenbush, Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Industry Association (FCHEA) and Mark Siira, IEEE
IEEE is an organization working to foster technological innovation and excellence to benefit humanity. As the world’s largest technical professional organization focused on technology advancement, IEEE creates industry standards to establish best practices in a broad range of technologies. IEEE is also responsible for maintaining and revising standards as necessary.
In cases where the standard project has a scope that crosses into multiple societies – A Standards Coordinating Committee is responsible to Coordinates efforts in these fields among the various IEEE societies and other affected organizations. The IEEE Standards Coordinating Committee 21 oversees the development of standards in the areas of fuel cells, photovoltaics, dispersed generation, and energy storage.
