A contactless check-in station available from Review Display Systems (RDS) provides contact-free body temperature measurement and facial recognition for employee safety as they return to work post-pandemic isolation. The access station comprises an eight-inch display, safety body temperature measurement check, optional facial recognition (that also works when employees are wearing face masks). A kiosk version has an optional hand sanitiser. ...
The University of Bath has designed an open-source medical-grade microscope that can be made for as little as £15 in its most basic form Called OpenFlexure microscope, “it is unique among 3D-printed microscope in its ability to yield high-quality images,” according to the university.” It has been designed to be easy to use, with an intuitive software interface and simplified ...
Sensing electronic skin can be powered by the sweat in its environment, according to the California Institute of Technology. “One of the major challenges with these kinds of wearable devices is on the power side,” said CalTech research engineer Wei Gao. “Many people are using batteries, but that’s not very sustainable. Some people have tried using solar cells or harvesting ...
The UK Government is still asking companies for help to tackle covid-19 It seeks support from organisations on: medical testing equipment medical equipment design spare stocks of masks, gowns and sanitiser for healthcare workers transport and logistics manufacturing equipment warehouse or office space, for medical use or storage expertise on IT, manufacturing, project management, procurement and engineering If you can ...
Japanese scientist have treated the brain like a tuned circuit to get accurate intracranial pressure (ICP) measurements without invasive surgery. ICP is a valuable parameter, for example in neurosurgery, neurology and emergency medicine. It can only usually be measured by inserting an intracranial catheter. Medical Doctors at Shinshu University have found a way to deduce the natural mechanical resonant frequency of ...
Surrey-based Cliff Electronics has introduced two white nylon parts to its normally black FeedThrough connector family – various connectors that all fit through a standard XLR connector cut-out. The white ones are USB2.0 A-A and CAT5e RJ45 data connectors, aimed at medical diagnostic and treatment equipment, as well as home monitoring, dental, cosmetic, IT and power-over-Ethernet products. “The majority of these devices ...
Some council social care services in the UK are short of eye protection, plastic aprons and disposable gloves. Many of our readers operate, own or work in manufacturing sites that might have spare stocks. If you think you can help, consider contacting your local social care services department or local GP practices. Please don’t turn up on any doorstep unannounced. ...
A motorised ankle exoskeleton has made running easier, even easier than assistive springs Appropriately powered by a motor, the exoskeleton reduced the energy cost of running by 15% compared with running without the exoskeleton, according to Stanford University, where the research took place. Whereas if the exoskeleton was powered to mimic a spring, running was 11% harder than running exoskeleton-free. ...
Skeleton Technologies is launching an ultra-capacitor module for power peak having in medical resonance imaging machines. Called SkelMod 131V, it can store 15.9Wh, with a terminal voltage up to 131V. Perhaps more importantly, peak power is somewhere around 60kW. An internal management system balances cells and offers alarm signal outputs and LED status indication. Predicted life cycling between 131V and half ...
