None of these are used for patrol or for hot pursuit—those activities still rely on good old fashioned gasoline powered vehicles.Tesla had a shot at winning the contract...

Recently, several big name memory companies have offered new "low-latency" DDR memory modules capable of running with brisk 2-2-2-5 timings at 400MHz.

One of the lesser known players in this field is PQI Designs. Not long ago, PQI acquired PMI Memory, incorporating their Turbo Series brand into the PQI product line. This has given PQI a much broader product line that includes performance memory as well as industrial strength flash storage solutions and other...
