Can drones rush defibrillators to cardiac arrests?

Surrey cardiac defibrillator drone trial

Drones are to be evaluated in the UK for delivering defibrillators to people experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The University of Surrey is running the study, with Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (‘KSS’), and South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust. “With survival rates for OHCA in the UK currently below 10%, a key challenge is the delay ...

SiTime ‘cracks code’ for resonator integration

SiTime's Titan resonator shown against a quartz resonator

SiTime has added 0.46 x 0.46mm 0505 CSP resonators to its timing portfolio, with the Titan MEMS platform. They are based on SiTime’s sixth-generation MEMS technology, FujiMEMS and are “at least four times smaller than the smallest legacy quartz alternatives” said the company. The resonators are available either PCB-mounted for customer integration, or as bare die for co-packaging with SoCs ...
