Dear Reader
How much time do you have? If you are like most educators and researchers, you may be ready for ways to reach goals and complete projects with increased efficiency and speed. That's why QUARC was developed. In this issue we'll illustrate how the latest version of Quanser's rapid prototyping software lets you spend less time coding and more time on what's important to you. Educators and students save time with QUARC: read how it helped undergraduate engineering students at Tsinghua University, China.
Researchers interface with devices faster through QUARC: read how the communication framework saves time. Enhance innovations in robotics and haptics with QUARC: read about new technology that even the Ontario Premier took notice of.
Plus, in this issue we share how to accelerate your research with powerful data acquisition cards that have a Quanser personality.

New Teaching and Research Tools
Better Real-Time Performance with Personality |
 Looking for a data acquisition board that offers real-time precision? Quanser's new QPID brings you just that. Based on National Instruments RIO technology, it comes pre-loaded with "Quanser personality". That means you get more functionality and features, including higher real-time performance. The new QPID boards are the new generation of Quanser's popular Q4 and Q8 HIL boards. Read more on our engineering blog. |
Focused on QUARC
Communication Made Easy |
If your research requires you to deal with software integration, design and integration of graphical user interface (GUI) or distributed control, QUARC will save you time. The latest version 2.0 offers flexible and powerful communication framework. Based on the generic, protocol-independent and extensible Stream Application Programming Interface (API), it allows communication not only between QUARC models, but also between a QUARC model and an external third-party application. Or even between two external third-party applications.

Industry Spotlight
Ontario Premier Performs Remote Surgery |
 Can your Head of Government perform remote surgery? We know the Ontario Premier can - at least on a banana. During his recent visit to Quanser Dalton McGuinty tried the teleoperation system and Quanser's other cutting-edge technologies that have wide applications in medicine. Quanser's expertise in robotics and haptics was the reason the Premier chose our company to host a press conference to announce his Trade Mission to Israel. The mission aims to enable successful partnerships between Ontario and Israeli companies within the life sciences and high-tech sectors. Quanser's collaboration with Simbionix, an Israeli company that develops medical training simulators and advanced visualization systems serves a successful example of such collaborations.

| In Your Own Words |

 "QUARC's support of TCP/IP has been a tremendous help for our research. It allowed us to develop a distributed sensing system that isn't dependent on expensive I/O hardware or DAQ boards."
Sean Brennan, Assistant Professor, Pennsylvania State University, USA
