Linux Applications
You know our embedded linux computers already, though you may not yet realize it. When you see multi-media signage at a mall, when you pay for parking in Montreal, when your pet is anesthetized, it may have been an Applied Data system behind the flat panel.  For more than ten years, ADS has helped hundreds of OEMs deliver tens of thousands of devices into a dozen or more vertical markets.


8D™ Pay and Go Parking Kiosk
 8D had created Cloud 9, a powerful Java-based operating environment on Linux that simplifies system testing and reprogramming, and 8D ECO, a compact integrated unit that can be embedded in any remote device. 8D decided to proceed with a RISC-based platform, after realizing the low power, rich I/O parameters needed for this application. Intel’s low-powered RISC-based processors and a large reserve battery enable the stations to run on solar power, separate from both electrical and telephone grids. See how ADS and 8D built this Parking Kiosk.
Excalibur Precision Guided Munitions
Smart Weapons PXA and iMX CPU Under contract to the U.S. Army, Raytheon is developing the Excalibur — the world’s first artillery projectile to be guided by a global positioning system (GPS) running with Linux. Excalibur is a 155 mm artillery round with the accuracy to destroy targets in first-round fire from ranges up to 30 miles.

This is one of the many ADS systems applied for Battlefield Electronics and Smart Munitions.
MIT Media Lab "Eye Society" Powered by ADS!
MIT Robot Vison System
 Eye Society is a project in which a "society" of intelligent Linux powered cameras solves calibration and scene-modeling problems through exchange of data. There is no central server. Adding a degree of mobility to the cameras will further permit them to rearrange themselves to take advantage of egomotion and parallax, to verify calibration calculations, to see viewpoints with strong three-point perspective, fill in occluded regions, and better model occluded object contours.

Stasia Satellite Groundstation
Linux Communcations Device Wavix has developed an inexpensive two-way Linux-powered satellite communication system specifically to support remote data collection and e-mail services. It is designed as an economical, high-throughput alternative to fill the niche between low-cost, low-throughput systems like Argos, GOES, and Orbcomm, and high-cost, very high-throughput systems like Inmarsat and Intelsat. See how this Satellite Groundstation was developed.
Vetland Pet Anesthesia
Linux Medical Device The equipment used on pets must be just as good as that used on humans. The Vetland system embeds this intelligence into a Linux-powered Applied Data Systems (ADS) computer with a bright touchscreen and flatpanel to communicate with the operating room personnel.
