A brochure entitled, 'Medical Device Assembly Process Key Factors to Consider', has been released by Techcon Systems. It details 12 key factors that should be considered for the assembly process of medical devices.

Authorised to continue manufacturing Motorola/Freescale’s MC68000 family of 32-bit microprocessors, Rochester Electronics offers the MC68020/MC68EC020, MC68030/MC68EC030, and MC68040/MC68EC040/MC68LC040 devices in a variety of packages and frequencies to meet commercial through military application requirements.

Today, patients rely on a growing number of portable medical devices such as glucose meters, blood pressure monitors or defibrillators. But even a seemingly minor electrostatic discharge could easily render a portable medical device useless. To ensure safe, reliable performance of these devices, their designers should use best practices to factor in circuit protection requirements from the earliest stages of the circuit design process. By James C...

The emergence of pervasive connectivity - and the resultant volumes of data that creates - could be changing the landscape for embedded electronics, meaning the old mandate of ‘faster, smaller, cheaper’ may soon just read ‘faster’. Philip Ling, Editor, ES Design magazine, reports.

The age of the development kit is very much upon us. According to Farnell element14 research conducted with more than 1,500 designers of electronic prototypes, on average development kits were used in 45% of all designs in the 12 months up to March 2014. By utilising readymade, low cost boards engineers can test their design ideas with a variety of components. By Richard Curtin, Global Director of Strategic Alliance, element14.

Today’s liquid-compatible, board-mounted sensors are meeting the challenges involved with pressure sensing in high-humidity environments. By Bryan Hovey, Product Manager, Pressure and Thermal, Honeywell Sensing and Control.

A controller, claimed to make the production process more efficient, has been introduced by Nordson EFD. The 7160RA ValveMate provides away to program Nordson's 782RA internal Radial Spray Valve and 7860C-RS Radial Spinner System.The controller's microprocessor circuitry provides exact time control of the dispense cycle with an improved user interface.

The impact open source hardware has had in the past year has been momentous. Educators, students and hobbyists have all traditionally been big proponents of open-source hardware, but in the last 12 months we finally saw large companies and professional engineers begin to openly embrace the open source movement as well.

Advantest has announced its new T2000 Enhanced Device Power Supply 150A (DPS150AE) module that enables its T2000 test platform to handle the load requirements for highly accurate testing of both high-current and low-voltage semiconductors, including microprocessor units (MPUs), application-specific ICs (ASICs) and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

Renesas Electronics Europe has announced the availability of Guiliani graphical user interface software from TES Electronic Solutions for the RZ/A1 “Renesas Starter Kit” (RSK) development suite. Renesas’ RZ/A1 MPU has been designed to give an optimal cost / performance balance for Human Machine Interface (HMI) applications.
