Many governments and transportation companies in the world are seeking intelligent and secure rolling stock solutions to reduce traffic congestion, air pollution and commuting time between urban and rural areas. The suitable system must integrate data transmission between the train and the ground, information, sub-systems like air conditioning, door-sensing and warning, as well as passenger information system. 

SiBEAM, a Lattice Semiconductor, has introduced WirelessHD transmitter and receiver modules that operate over the 60GHz mmW frequency band. The modules deliver visually lossless 1080p video streams at up to 60fps and are a suited video cable replacement solution in medical or industrial operating environments where cables are safety hazards. The wireless modules also reduce the cost of ownership in clean-room environments as there are no video ca...

ams has announced the launch of the AS7000, the first member of a family of health/fitness solutions aimed at wearable devices. The AS7000 solution incorporates a highly integrated optical sensor module accompanied by software to provide industry-leading, highest accuracy optical Heart Rate Measurements (HRM) and Heart Rate Variation (HRV) readings, backed by opto-mechanical design-in support from ams.

Perpetuum has secured an important contract with Network Rail. The contract, which means Perpetuum will provide ongoing services to Network Rail for track condition analysis, comes after 12 months of development work with the national rail infrastructure owners.

ARBOR Technology has announced the release of the ARBOR HTab, a bedside turn-key solution combining healthcare with patient entertainment. The Android-based Htab is based on a TI OMAP 4470 dual core Cortex-A9 processor and has a 10.1” LCD with 1280x800 WXGA resolution and a 10-point projected capacitive multi touch technology, facilitating effortless and accurate touch response.

A recent study from Juniper Research has found that wireless charging is poised to change the way consumers interact with their cars, with an estimated 50m vehicles offering built-in wireless device charging by 2020, compared with only 4m this year. The latest research, Wireless Charging: Opportunities, Applications & Standards 2015-2020, found that the technology will enable a range of new in-vehicle services, such as on-board audio streamin...

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive and fatal muscle degenerating disease caused by a dystrophin deficiency. Effective suppression of the primary pathology observed in DMD is critical for treatment. Patient-derived human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (hiPSCs) are a promising tool for drug discovery.

When Clayton Equipment secured the contract from London Underground to convert a fleet of maintenance locomotives from diesel to electric power, it asked EnerSys to supply the motive power batteries. The battery manufacturer supplied cells from its Hawker Perfect Plus range which were assembled into high-performance 210kWh packs to deliver the power needed to support a highly demanding operational requirement.

Intelliconnect is now working with 19 NHS trusts supplying high quality connectors, adaptors and cable assemblies for radiation detection equipment as diverse as imaging equipment and RF Ablation. Intelliconnect have a very wide range of UK designed and manufactured, high quality, very competitively priced medical grade Triax connectors available from stock.

Expanding its IHLD series of low-profile, high-current dual inductors, Vishay Intertechnology has announced a new device in the 3232 case size. Operating over a wide temperature range from -55 to +155°C, the automotive-grade IHLD-3232HB-5A saves board space by combining two inductors in one 9.75x9.14mm package.
