Elekta Unity: a ground-breaking cancer treatment technology
The manufacturing and product development division of Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider Chemigraphic was part of a year-long process in supporting Elekta, with bringing their newest cancer treatment system to market. Elekta Unity received CE mark in June and is the first of its kind, a high-field MRI-guided linear accelerator (linac) system that enables magnetic resonance radiation therapy (MR/RT), a new approach to cancer treatme...
Video game may improve empathy in middle schoolers
A space-exploring robot crashes on a distant planet. In order to gather the pieces of its damaged spaceship, it needs to build emotional rapport with the local alien inhabitants. The aliens speak a different language but their facial expressions are remarkably humanlike.This fantastical scenario is the premise of a video game developed for middle schoolers by University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers to study whether video games can boost...
Plug-and-play IIoT development kit offers IP54 protection
An IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) development kit for the HARTING MICA (Modular Industry Computing Architecture) edge computer has been introduced by RS Components. The IIoT kit is a simple plug-and-play system that enables fast digital condition monitoring of multiple sensor inputs from machinery.
High current inductor designed for automotive applications
Manufacturer of electronic and electromechanical components,Würth Elektronik has expandedits portfolio of AEC-Q-qualified products with a high current inductor. The patented ferrite core design of the new power choke has an air gap optimally centered to ensure a precisely defined saturation current. WE-CHSA can be used in the extended temperature range of 55°Cto 150°C.
Lead or follow: what sets leaders apart?
Leaders are more willing to take responsibility for making decisions that affect the welfare of others. In a new study, researchers at the University ofZurich identified the cognitive and neurobiological processes that influence whether someone is more likely to take on leadership or to delegate decision-making.

Removing problem metals at PPMA 2018
Removing metal contamination is critical in any processing and packaging line. Unwanted metals not only result in costly damage to machinery, loss of productivity and downtime but can impact a company’s reputation on product quality.
TTI sets up deal to acquire RFMW
TTI is to acquire California-based RFMW. When the deal is completed, RFMW will continue to operate under the RFMW brand name, reporting through the TTI Semiconductor Group (TSG). Joel Levine will continue to serve as President of RFMW, and will report to TSG President, Michael Knight. The transaction is expected to close October 1, 2018.
Diode protects MRI receivers from high RF energy fields
Availability and full design support capabilities for a diode for MRI applications from MACOM Technology Solutions has been announced by Richardson RFPD. The MADP-009989 diode was designed to protect MRI receivers from high RF energy fields, including long RF pulses and RF spike pulses present in most MRI machines.
3A step-down DC/DC power module in compact package
The LMZM33603 power module is an easy-to-use integrated power solution that combines a 3A, step-down, DC/DC converter with power MOSFETs, a shielded inductor, and passives into a low-profile package. This power solution requires as few as four external components and eliminates the loop compensation and magnetics part selection from the design process.
