Morgan Technical Ceramics has launched a new tube contact sensor for accurate detection of occlusions in medical infusion lines. The sensor gives non-invasive detection of pressure changes in a flexible tube without the requirement for disposable cassettes and as a result provides medical device OEMs with a simple and reliable method of recognising when the tube is blocked.
The latest amongst the long list of semiconductor acquisitions that ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN) has made, is Cypress Semiconductor's (Nasdaq:CY) image sensor business unit for approximately $31.4 million. The all-cash deal is expected to close by the end of the first quarter, subject to customary closing conditions.
Siemens has recently launched a sensor that will monitor a patient’s breathing patterns to warn of impending asthma attacks. It does this by warning of inflammation in air passages, so that patients can take preventive medication well in advance.
This year, the NFL has been on a crusade against concussions. From the ban on head hits to the recent launch of a new website, www.nflhealthandsafety.com, the organization is doing its part to keep players safe, during their time on the field and long after.
Senior scientist Deirdre Meldrum has acquired a new role in 2011, as the leader of one of the most ambitious research endeavour ever undertaken at Arizona State University.
Published in this week's issue of the journal ‘Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences’ are results of a new research using human-networking theory shedding light on how exactly; infectious diseases such as the common cold, influenza, whooping cough and SARS can spread through a closed group of people, and even through populations at large.
ME75X Ceramic Pressure Sensing sequence from SERVOFLO has the potential to monitor high pressures in medical conditions.
Kuraray has devised a novel film polymer sensor that can produce voltage while it is bent. The voltage fluctuations are based on the bending degree. The output is kept uniform, when bent. The sensor does not demand current supply.
The applications of sensors in medical sectors is exponentially increasing due to the enhanced requirement for improved, advanced healthcare and therefore demands the utility of sensors in most of the medical systems.
A group of researchers, guided by Prof. Keon Jae Lee of KAIST, Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering and Prof. Zhong Lin Wang, of Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology, have advanced novel variants of effective, pliable nanogenerator systems, employing highly flexible piezoelectric thin film ceramic nano-materials that have the potential to transform even the minute human body motions such as blood flow and heart beats into electrical power.
