The Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG) has announced the NAG Mark 22 Release Toolbox for Matlab. It allows access to 1415 rigorously tested numerical routines, providing easy migration of prototype code developed in the Matlab environment to final production code in advanced programming languages, such as C or Fortran, while still using the same robust algorithms. This release also includes more than a dozen quickly accessible Matlab-based examples of advanced programming for optimization problems, simulations, time-series analysis and other functions.

EMCO has introduced new ultra-low power (ULP) series DC–DC converters, which provide output voltages from 0–500 VDC, while consuming less than 2 mW of power. The output voltage is regulated, programmable, and can deliver up to 4 W of power on demand at >85% efficiency. Designed with "green" applications in mind, the ULP series features a shutdown pin that drops current consumption below 10 μA. Standard input voltage range is 5.4–7.4 V.
