Managing semiconductor tool obsolescence
When it comes to semiconductor manufacturing equipment obsolescence, there’s no good way to avoid the issue. With the significant expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) markets as well as the continuation of More than Moore (MtM), the demand for devices on legacy equipment is increasing. Semiconductor fabs using this legacy equipment will inevitably lose part of their supply lines to obsolescence...
Database simulates the properties of cement in all varieties
An international team of scientists has created a new database of molecular dynamics models that simulate the properties of cement in all its varieties. It’s intended to help fine-tune this component of concrete and curtail emissions in its manufacturing process. Thenew database, called cemff, for cement force fields. In this case, the force field isn't an invisible barrier from a science-fiction story. It's the collection of parameters sci...
Image sensor designed for low light applications
The KAE-04471 image sensor from ON Semiconductor provides imaging performance, both in low light applications and in direct sunlight. The new 4.4 Megapixel Interline Transfer EMCCD sensor features high dynamic range coupled with low image noise and is available at FRAMOS. Applications operating both in darkness and in variable light conditions mostly benefit the military and defence, ITS, surveillance, scientific and medical imaging sectors.
Autonomous shuttles trialled successfully in London
For the first time in the UK, the public was invited to trial autonomous electric shuttles operated by Keolis. For a month, passengers were able to try this new mode of ecological transport, which has begun to attract a growing number of cities as it offers a new response to mobility problems in urban centres.
Blood analysis service to realise use in healthcare
Finnish biotech Nightingale Health has announced a pilot of its technology in the healthcare sector. The goal of the pilot, in partnership with Finnish health service provider Coronaria, is to verify that Nightingale’s service can be successfully applied within a healthcare setting.Nightingale's blood test can replace many routine blood tests currently used in healthcare (e.g. glucose tests).
