OmniVision is sampling the OVMed OCHTA camera module with quadruple the resolution of its predecessor, at 400×400, or 160 KPixels, for clearer images inside the body’s farthest recesses. This module features the CameraCubeChip wafer-level technology, enabling it to match the world’s smallest size of its predecessor, at 0.65mm x 0.65mm, for deep anatomical access. This technology also allows for the integration of ...

The imec.icon project DIASTOLE, involving VUB, UZ Brussels and Imec, is paving the way to safely implement 4D scans in cardiac surgery, raising the prospect of heart specialists could being able to test the placement of a new heart valve before surgery. 4D CT scanners add the dimension of time to three-dimensional images and capture the movement of the heart ...

Researchers at University College London have created an OLED that can be applied to skin like a children’s transfer tattoo. So much like a child’s transfer is it, that it is made on the same type of substrate and applied the same way: wet it, stick it, and peel off the backing paper. The OLED starts life as a sheet ...

TrumPower has created a range of wall-plug power supplies for medical use. Called TM30W, there is a choice of 10 set output voltages between 5 and 48Vdc, at 20 – 30W depending on voltage (30W at 12V and above). A choice of mains plug interfaces, or an interchangeable version, allow the PSUs to fit UK, European and US wall sockets. Input ...

Available from Cambridge-based Components Bureau, the Excelsys CoolX 3000 series by Advanced Energy is packaged in a small form factor (300 x 131 x 120mm), for a smaller footprint in harsh industrial and medical applications. The intelligent, user-configurable modular power supply offers analogue and digital management. It is equipped with up to 24 isolated outputs, all of which are isolated ...

Asic and foundry service specialist, Redtree Solutions has signed an agreement with Agile Analog, making the latter’s configure IP available as part of the RedASIC custom chip design service. Redtree offers turnkey asic services, including offshore and local design, analogue, RF, mixed and digital design, foundry prototyping to production services, packaging and testing for both prototyping and volume production and ...

A flexible wearable sensor might one day guide treatment for chronic (long-lasting) wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers or pressure ulcers. Researchers from Russian institute Skoltech and the University of Texas at Austin have created a prototype for such a sensor, and demonstrated it in a simulate wound environment where it measured three biomarkers, all of which are electro-active: Pyocyanin, produced a ...

Leman Micro Devices (LMD) demonstrates its V-Sensor for smartphones and wearables, for measuring blood pressure and other vital signs

Toshiba has announced a series of low noise low drop-out (LDO) voltage regulators in a 1 x 1 x 0.38mm plastic DFN4C package. Noise credentials are typically 5µVrms between 10Hz and 100kHz. There are 32 products in the TCR3RM series, as it will be known, with single fixed outputs spanning 0.9 to 4.5V. Ripple rejection ratio is typically 100dB (1kHz, 2.8V ...

Suitable for undersea power lines as well as tethered drones, the AEK 3000 HV Series is a range of  adaptable high voltage DC power supplies, manufactured by Cotek and available from Relec Electronics. The 3kW high voltage (HV) DC power supplies offers 90 to 264Vac input and a choice of regulated, single outputs (150, 200, 250, 300, and 400Vdc). An auxiliary ...
