Adacore Enhances Gnat Pro Development Software

Adacore has announced the latest release of its Gnat Pro Ada development environment. Gnat Pro 6.3 is now available on several new platforms including 64-bit Windows, Windows 7, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, VXWorks Mils and PikeOS (Arinc 653). The product incorporates a variety of enhancements, many based on customer feedback, and offers implementation of new Ada 2012 features.

Gnat Pro 6.3 works with a number of complementary tools, sold separately, including the Codepeer automated code review and validation tool. Gnat Pro 6.3 features improvements to tools such as the Pretty printer, coding standard verifier (Gnatcheck) and stack size analyser (Gnatstack). Other tool enhancements include: unused dispatching subprogram elimination (Gnatelim); more flexible project handling; more efficient Gnatmake and gprbuild; and C and C++ binding generation.

Compiler and debugger enhancements include: additional warnings; more flexible enabling/disabling of warnings; faster unbounded_string implementation; removal of redundant run-time checks; support for Ada 2012 conditional expressions; code generation (speed and size) improvements; more compact debugging information; and improved interfacing with C++.

Gnat Pro 6.3 also includes a new version of the Gnat Programming Studio (GPS) IDE, GPS 4.4.1 and an improved download interface in Adacore's Gnat Tracker support tool.

Biasi Develops ActivA Unique Boiler Range Biasi UK has developed ActivA, a new range of high efficiency A rated condensing boilers boasting a unique heat exchanger. The launch of ActivA is further testimony to the company's commitment to strengthen its position in the UK domestic gas boiler market. At the heart of ActivA is a newly developed pre-mix condensing heat exchanger that is manufactured in a corrosion resistant, pressure moulded aluminium. Its sectional construction means it can be easily adjusted for different boiler outputs and its 'multipass' design ensures very low resistance for both combustion and water passage. This unique heat exchanger carries a five year guarantee. Designed to provide outstanding heating performance at an affordable price for almost all types of domestic properties, the compact range boasts some of the smallest boilers available - at just 700mm high x 400 wide and only 290mm deep - thereby allowing installation in cupboards.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as
