Held in autumn last year, EuroBLECH 2016 was regarded as highly successful by the international sheet metal working industry. One of the main themes at the 24thInternational Sheet Metal Working Technology Exhibition was the overall trend for digitisation and automation of production processes. The innovative spirit in the industry sector led to a 2% increase in net exhibition space and visitor numbers compared to the previous event.

Toshiba has released three ultrasounds in the Aplio i-series, the Aplio i700, Aplio i800, and Aplio i900. The company claims the new devices provide superior imaging, including deep and hard to penetrate regions such as the shoulder. The company’s “iBeam” technology is supposed to provide greater efficiency to the soundwaves, letting them penetrate deeper without losing as much definition as in previous systems.

The Azurion system builds on Philips’ many decades of imaging expertise combined with a growing integrated therapy portfolio, enhanced by the 2015 acquisition of Volcano. It is is expected to form the core of Philips’ integrated image-guided systems including vascular surgery, cardiology, oncology, and neuroradiology.

European researchers said they had developed a cheaper and more efficient superconducting tape which could one day be used to double the potency of wind turbines.Eurotapes, a European research project on superconductivity—the ability of certain materials to channel electricity with zero resistance and very little power loss—has produced 600 metres (1,968 feet) of the tape, said the coordinator of the project, Xavier Obradors, of the I...

Medtronic has released an advanced surgical stapler, the Signia Stapling System, which sports sensors that detect the tissue being worked and adjust its speed to produce optimal staple lines.The company’s Adaptive Firing technology measures how much force it takes a staple to penetrate through tissue, controlling in real-time the speed of the stapler. The tissue sensing data and status of the stapler, including the battery charge, is displa...

410 Medical, a company out of Durham, North Carolina, is releasing in the US its LifeFlow Rapid Infuser for treating patients afflicted by sepsis or shock.
