Medical design & manufacturing at MD&M West 2017
NEO Tech announces that it will exhibit its medical design service solutions, as well as medical device repair and refurbishment, and miniaturisation services for implantable medical electronics from February 7-9 at the 2017 MD&M West Exhibition in Anaheim. NEO Tech’s technology and medical solution expert team members will be located in booth 673.
Possibilities for microfluidics opened up by LEGO-like blocks
From building castles to spaceships, LEGO already has millions of applications. Researchers in California have found a new use for the popular blocks, a modular microfluidics system.
NASA and MIT develop quantum-dot spectrometer
A NASA technologist has teamed with the inventor of a nanotechnology that could transform the way space scientists build spectrometers, the all-important device used by virtually all scientific disciplines to measure the properties of light emanating from astronomical objects, including Earth itself.
On-chip sensor detects nanoscale changes in the environment
Chip scale high precision measurements of physical quantities such as temperature, pressure and refractive index have become common with nanophotonics and nanoplasmonics resonance cavities.
An emerging force in discretes, logic and MOSFETs
It was announced yesterday that Nexperia, the former Standard Products division of NXP, has completed its launch as a separate entity. Headquartered in Nijmegen, Netherlands and backed by a consortium of financial investors, Nexperia is a stand-alone player in the world of discretes, logic and MOSFETs, retaining all the expertise, manufacturing resources and key personnel of the former NXP division.
Qualcomm and TDK launch a joint venture
The completion of previously announced joint venture between Qualcomm Incorporated and TDK Corporation has been announced under the name RF360 Holidjngs Singapore PTE. The joint venture will enable Qualcomm’s RFFE Business Unit to deliver RF front-end (RFFE) modules and RF filters into fully integrated systems for mobile devices and fast-growing business segments, such as Internet of Things (IoT), automotive applications and connected compu...
Precision facilitates miniaturisation
The preeflow eco-DUO330 from Intertronics helps to meet the need for smaller, more precise and ever more repeatable metering, mixing and dispensing units for two-part materials. It also helps to improve micro-dosing for two component systems and can provide dosages as small as 0.2 to 32ml/min with complete repeatability. This is expected to be of value in the fields of medical device manufacturing, optics, photonics, electronics assembly, biochem...
Ultra-compact crystal unit preserves ESR characteristics
Murata has introduced the world's smallest high precision crystal unit for use in mobile equipment and modules that use wireless technology such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the XRCED series.The boom in equipment using wireless communications such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth has driven the need for smaller components for use in such equipment including smartphones, wearables, and hearing aids.
Relays in safety-related control systems
There are no fewer than seven ways for even a simple transistor to fail. This means that monitoring all the electronic components that may be defective in a safe electronic switching output calls for considerable effort and the use of such things as a clocked fail-safe unit and microcontrollers (Figure 1).
Product development faces the challenges of advancing miniaturisation
At Nepcon 2017 (18-20 January 2017) in Tokyo, AT&S will be presenting technologies as a response to current challenges in telecommunication, automotive electronics, wearables and medical electronics. Advancing miniaturisation, high data rates and/or high frequencies, power electronics with increasing current densities and rising thermal problems, as well as optimised production processes are the challenges that modern applications face.
