Earlier this month, Atmel Corp. (ATML) reported revenues of $284.5 million in its second quarter, up 5% sequentially but down 32% year over year.

Revenues reported in the quarter were negatively impacted by reduced demand resulting from the global economic weakness experienced in all electronic markets since the fourth quarter. In addition, reduced inventory levels held by distributors also resulted in low shipments levels compared to prior periods.

Security solutions for protecting products, brands and intellectual property from counterfeiting and diversion are on the rise now more than ever. As technology advances to secure verification by the owner and to validate their claims, so does the technology used by crooks to get around it. Counterfeiting is a big business for modern crooks. Anti-Counterfeit technology is just as big, if not bigger. Companies that specialize in creating this technology are becoming not only more adaptable but, savvy as well. Uniqueness and forward thinking seem to be the primary weapon in this ever changing industry.

Anti-Counterfeit technology has been around for a bit but not enough to make an “impression”, no pun intended to those that really wish to protect their product. In recent years though this technology has advanced so quickly that what once was seen as a prop in spy movies and in books is now a reality. Eye

Outlook Global markets appear to be shaking off the recent unprecedented withering of the financial system and are looking for an upturn. But is it sustainable or is it a short-term event? So far, a string of drastic actions by the Federal Reserve and both the Bush and Obama administrations has yet to turn around a bunker mentality. Banks fear lending money to each other and to their customers. Businesses are reluctant to hire and boost capital investments. Consumers have hunkered down. All the economy's problems are feeding off each other, creating a vicious cycle that Washington policymakers are finding difficult to break. Even if the turmoil gripping Wall Street were to let up and badly shaken confidence in the banking system were fully restored, a "broader economic recovery will not happen right away." Obviously, the technology industry is not immune to the current economic ...

Businesses grow when they react to situations that affect society. They view the possibilities that could harm our way of life and constantly makes the necessary changes to counteract this negative. Trouble shooting, think tanks and modern technology help make these visions a reality. Seizing an opportunity during uneasy times to help secure and improve our way of life has become the mainstay with some companies.
