advantages of electrolytic capacitors with those of solid Polymer capacitors, are established as reliant and across-the-board solutions in automotive and industrial applications alike. Hybrid technology offers low leakage current and long life in combination with low ESR (20m) in smaller case sizes. Panasonic new EEH-ZK series (Type V-ZK) Hybrid Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors are high-
temperature capacitors that have an endurance of 4,000 hours at 125°C. The surface-mount conductive polymer components offer a nominal capacitance range of 33µF up to 470µF, a voltage range of 25VDC up to 35VDC, an operating temperature range of -55°C up to 125°C, as well as low ESR and high ripple current (85% over, lower ESR than Current V-TP). The products are AEC-Q200 compliant, can endure high humidity conditions and are rated at 85°C/85% - 2,000h. ZK series hybrid capacitors are ideal for a broad spectrum of applications including input/output
filtering in power converters and voltage regulators, power and battery decoupling and clock circuitry. Their endurance and low ESR makes them ideal for use in automotive applications, servers, base stations and industrial PCs, yet they are small enough for wireless and IoT designs.

Software hardening for securing IoT devices
As the ever-expanding IoT marketplace puts a bigger emphasis on embedded device security, better techniques are required to improve security. GrammaTech's software hardening techniques complement our static analysis know-how to greatly improve the current and future robustness of embedded software.
Binary Analysis and Static Rewriting Analyzing application binaries allows GrammaTech's rewriting tools to discover the use of potentially problematic code patterns, libraries, or OS functions. The rewritten binaries have wrappers around such code to prevent erroneous behavior. Rewriting a binary executable into a robust hardened version provides quality and security assurance for any version of the application -- current and future versions are protected.
Confinement and Diversification: Binary Rewriting Techniques The goal of confinement is to prevent undetected vulnerabilities from causing a failure in an executing application. GrammaTech has been researching sophisticated confinement techniques that allow applications to detect the same kinds of attacks, but continue operation (while still containing the vulnerability). Combining binary analysis to detect the potential vulnerability with static rewriting to confine the exploit, it's possible to greatly reduce and even eliminate the impact. Diversification techniques are used to alter the default code and memory layout to prevent potential exploits. By rearranging the subroutine calling sequence, stack, heap, and global data layout, it's possible to prevent vulnerabilities from being exploited. Stack overflow errors that lead to code injection exploits, for example, can be thwarted with these techniques.
Protection Now and in the Future Binary analysis and rewriting by nature doesn't require source and is version-independent. As such, IoT device manufacturers can use GrammaTech’s hardening techniques on every release of their applications, making software hardening a standard procedure in the software release process. In doing so, organizations can assure better robustness and security for even minor upgrades, without huge re-testing costs.
