人物專訪：邁格瑪(Magama)亞太區副總裁居龍(圖)_業界-經營与管理_科技時代_新浪网: "華人在EDA產業界地位很高，名人也很多，教父級人物首推黃炎松，他是凱登斯前身益華(ECAD)的共同創辦人，与他攜手的是趙修平等人。黃炎松則以本土親和出名，現在是多家公司的董事，也協助新一代創業，在GRIC創辦人陳宏的眼中，黃炎松是他的“導師”。另一位有名的EDA杰出華裔則是Montor最高職位的華裔副總裁南宁，但英年早逝。在凱登斯的李怀也是赫赫有名的。王山則是Epic的創辦人，后來公司被新思并購之后，現在加入上市公司Nassda。"

If you are after gaming, multimedia, good WiFi+Bluetooth support, a lot of accessories and versatility, go with Pocket PC.
If you are after small and stylish devices with good battery life, simple interface and simple PIM apps, go with PalmOS."

Night Vision Terminology & Definitions

Generations, quote from Morovision Night Vision
Two technologies are referenced as night vision; image intensification and thermal imaging (see definitions). Because of cost and the fact that image intensifier scenes are easier to interpret than thermal (thermal images show targets as black or white - depending upon temperature - making it more difficult to recognize objects), the most widely used night vision aid in law enforcement is image intensification (l²) equipment. Developments in the l² technology are categorized in terms of "generations". To date, there have been four generations of l² devices, identified as Gen 0, Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 3. Developmental laboratory work is on-going, and the U.S. military may designate the resulting as Gen 4. However, no definition for Gen 4 presently exists.
