Joseph Prusa, head of 3D printer company Prusa Research in Prague, has turned part of his factory over to the production of medical face shields. And at the same time, has issued a stern warning about untested 3D printed breathing filters – and he should know, he is one of the pioneers of 3D printer mass production. The company has taken an ...
TDK-Lambda has introduced 600W 3 x 5in open-frame mains PSUs with efficiencies of up to 96%. Called CUS600M, the ac-dc supplies are certified to medical and ITE (information technology equipment) standards for Class I and II (no earth ground connection) operation and are aimed at professional applications such as healthcare, dental, test, measurement, broadcast, audio and industrial equipment. There are seven ...
A project called InSiDe under the H2020 programme is to commercialise a mobile diagnostic device based on silicon photonics to identify and characterise different stages of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). It has been initiated by Imec, Ghent University, Nedtronic, Politecnico di Torino, Tyndall National Institute, Microchip Technology, Argotech, National Institute for Health and Medical Research, Universiteit Maastricht, and Fundico. The device offers fast, flexible and patient-friendly monitoring of CVD, keeping patients ...
Digital configurable power supplies, the Micro MP (μMP) series, by Artesyn Embedded Power, are available from Components Bureau. The four models in the series range from 400W-1,800W and are approved for Industrial EN 60950, Medical EN 60601 and Military MIL-STD-810E. They can be used for general industrial use, medical and laboratory equipment, test and measurement systems, telecom equipment as well ...
Renesas has launched a family of Arm Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M4 microcontrollers with comprehensive security features, aiming them at IoT applications – particularly end-point and edge devices in industry, building automation, metering, healthcare and home appliances. Called the RA family, they are PSA Certified Level 1 and come in four series: RA2 Series – Cortex-M23 up to 60 MHz RA4 Series ...
Last week it was reported that a tetraplegic man was able to walk and control both arms using a direct brain interface – a neuroprosthetic that read, transmitted and decoded brain signals in real-time to control an exoskeleton. The brain connection is through a ‘semi-invasive’ medical device called Wimagine, developed at French lab CEA – specifically its Clinatec laboratory in ...
XP Power releases two series of external power supplies that are intended for modern medical applications
Aiming at improved dog food,Cambridge Design Partnership has created a smart pill for dogs that both senses and samples. Mars is the customer, and trails were at the Waltham Centre for Pet Nutrition in Melton Mowbray. “It was certainly an unusual request and a major challenge,” says Will Bradley, who led the project for CDP. “Mars Petcare wanted to find out ...
Georgia Tech has developed a way to 3d print highly flexible bio-compatible battery-free wireless stretch sensors. A potential application is pressure sensing inside brain blood vessels damaged by aneurysms – floppy side bulges that can burst. ‘Aerosol jet’ 3D printing is the chose fabrication technique – in which a fine mist of droplets are blown onto a substrate through a ...
Long-term health monitoring of adults, babies and small children without concern for skin injury or allergic reactions is the aim of a project at Georgia Tech, which has produced a stretchy patch that can broadcast electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate, respiratory rate and motion activity data. Connections are to gold skin-like electrodes through printed conductors that can stretch with the medical ...
