Medicine in a digital world...
The health industry is going through a period of dramatic change. We are seeing more and more digital solutions throughout the patient journey - at every stage from prevention and diagnosis to treatment. Medicine 4.0 can only work on the basis of collaborative efforts at the point where the medical and engineering disciplines overlap.
IoT security research and development programs expanded
With a global need to reinforce the security of connected devices that are designed to work without regular human interaction as part of the IoT, Infineon Technologies has announced a new development initiative in Silicon Valley and a corporate partnership with the CyLab Security and Privacy Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.
Dual-use commercial tech creates significant growth opportunities
Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, US DoD Cybersecurity Market, Forecast to 2023, reveals that intense attacks from adversaries and non-state actors are compelling Department of Defense (DoD) cybersecurity spend for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)-based cybersecurity tools and systems and the development of quantum computing and artificial intelligence technologies. Defense cybersecurity industry consolidation is expected to increase w...
3D virtual simulation gets to the heart of irregular heartbeats
In a proof of concept study, scientists at Johns Hopkins report they have successfully performed 3D personalised virtual simulations of the heart to accurately identify where cardiac specialists should electrically destroy cardiac tissue to stop potentially fatal irregular and rapid heartbeats in patients with scarring in the heart.
Considerations when comparing SiC and GaN in power applications
Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductor technologies are promising great things for the future. SiC devices in a cascode configuration enable existing systems to be easily upgraded to get the benefits of wide band-gap devices right now. By: Anup Bhalla, VP Engineering, UnitedSic.
