Deep scanning technology for fingerprint sensors
Imagine a fingerprint sensor with guaranteed identification success, regardless of any fingertip alteration. The INGRESS project has brought us a step closer to achieving this high-value breakthrough in a market set to be worth EUR 7.6 billion by 2022.Ever since they started appearing on smartphones in 2007, fingerprint sensors have been proving quite popular. However, they are far from perfect: any change or damage to the finger will prevent cur...
Studying patients’ cancer genomes with blood samples
Researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Massachusetts General Hospital have developed an accurate, scalable approach for monitoring cancer DNA from blood samples.
Techniques give greater promise to blood biopsies
Researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Koch Institute at MIT, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Massachusetts General Hospital have developed an accurate, scalable approach for monitoring cancer DNA from blood samples.
Mouser agreement offers Arduino-compatible boards
Mouser Electronics has signed a global distribution agreement with LinkSprite, designers and producers of hardware, firmware, and apps focused on home automation, healthcare, and more. The LinkSprite product line available from Mouser Electronics features a series of boards and accessories, including the O-board, the Arduino-compatible LinkNode D1 board, and LinkNode modules and kits.
LimeSDR Mini gets backing from FCP company
Lime Microsystems has announced the support of Frequency Control Products (FCP) company Rakon for its LimeSDR Mini platform.The Rakon oscillator - along with the Lime LMS7002 and Altera’s FPGA - is one of the three key components in the LimeSDR platform. Having the backing of Rakon enables the LimeSDR Mini to deliver its performance at a price point that makes SDR accessible.
Anti-myeloma agent opens for latest treatment strategy
The tumour form multiple myeloma is very challenging to treat and is still considered incurable. In a recently published study in the scientific journalOncotarget, researchers at Uppsala University show how inhibition of the protein BMI-1 could be used as a new strategy to treat the disease.Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer where immune cells grow in an uncontrolled manner in the bone marrow.
Machine learning can identify shapes of red blood cells
Using a computational approach known as deep learning, scientists have developed a new system to classify the shapes of red blood cells in a patient's blood. The findings, published in PLOS Computational Biology, could potentially help doctors monitor people with sickle cell disease.A person with sickle cell disease produces abnormally shaped, stiff red blood cells that can build up and block blood vessels, causing pain and sometimes death.
Perry facility receives FAA Part 145 repair station certification
Global provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications,TT Electronics, has announced that its Perry, Ohio, facility has been awarded Part 145 Repair Station certification by the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA). The FAA regulates civil aviation safety and stipulates that aircraft parts must be repaired by a certified repair station to be legally installed in an aircraft. This certification enables TT Electronics to certify a...
Target for development of antibiotics is revealed
In an article published in Nature Communications, a group of scientists from Brazil and France describe a new strategy to kill bacilli, rod-shaped or cylindrical bacteria that include several species that cause diseases in humans, such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Helicobacter pylori.
Laser colour-marking system prints nanometric codes on products
Founded in 2006 in the city of Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil, BR Labs began by developing lasers for universities and research institutions. The startup was a spinoff from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the Center for Research into Optics and Photonics (CePOF), one of FAPESP’s Research, Innovation and Dissemination Centers (RIDCs).
