The Government are being urged to place more emphasis in the UK’s industrial strategy on helping the working age population stay fit, healthy and productive.

A team of U of T Engineering researchers is mending broken hearts with an expanding tissue bandage a little smaller than a postage stamp.Repairing heart tissue destroyed by a heart attack or medical condition with regenerative cells or tissues usually requires invasive open-heart surgery. But now biomedical engineering Professor Milica Radisic and her colleagues have developed a technique that lets them use a small needle to inject a repair patch...

TV infomercials offer a world of potential solutions for back pain, but most of them have at least one of three problems — they’re unproven, unworkable or just plain unattractive. A team of Vanderbilt University engineers is changing that with a design that combines the science of biomechanics and advances in wearable tech to create a smart, mechanised undergarment.Their device gets its U.S. debut Aug. 8-11 at an American Society of B...

The new SICK OD5000 displacement sets new performance standards when accurate, wafer-thin measurement is needed in electronics and solar photovoltaic manufacture.With a high measuring frequency up to 80kHz and resolutions down to 0.003µm, the OD5000 promises consistent and reliable laser-based displacement measurement of coatings, deposits, gaps and glass layers.

Setting new standards in high-precision distance measurement, the SICK OD1000 displacement sensor has extremely long1m scanning range and a resolution down to 450µm.Developed by SICK to achieve high consistency and linearity in measurement results on many different surfaces and colours, even at high production speeds, the OD1000 goes the extra distance for performance and value.

Global provider of machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity products and services, Digi International, has announced the immediate availability of the Digi XBee Cellular 3G Global embedded modem, providing Original Equipment Manufacturers with global deployments the flexibility to easily implement solutions in regions currently offering 3G connectivity. Digi customers can simply drop this modem into their existing design...

A programme of European ‘Wide Bandgap Technology’ seminars which will help design engineers to take advantage of the latest SiC and GaN components has been announced by Future Electronics. SiC (silicon carbide) and GaN (gallium nitride) wide bandgap semiconductor materials are attracting great interest from power engineers because of their superior thermal, switching and power-handling characteristics compared to silicon.

Littelfuse has concluded their programme for the PCIM (Power Conversion and Intelligent Motion) Europe 2017 Exhibition. The highlight of this year’s exhibition was the introduction of the GEN2 Series of 1200V SiC Schottky Diodes featuring near-zero recovery time and low forward voltage for higher system efficiency. Samples are now available upon request via links on the SiC Schottky Diodes new products page.

A new portable device can quickly find markers of deadly, unpredictable sepsis infection from a single drop of blood.A team of researchers from the University of Illinois and Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana, Illinois, completed a clinical study of the device, which is the first to provide rapid, point-of-care measurement of the immune system’s response, without any need to process the blood.

The first GEN2 Series of 1,200V Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes has been introduced byLittelfuse, in conjunction with the start of the PCIM Europe 2017 Exhibition. These SiC diodes are the first in a series of products based on the technology platform created through a partnership with Monolith Semiconductor. Additional silicon carbide products based on the technology platform, including 1,200V SiC MOSFETs, are already in the pipeline and a...
