Vox Power is extending the range of medical applications for its NEVO+600 and NEVO+1200 series of power supplies with two new 300W output modules. The dual slot OPA2 and OPA3 modules provide manually adjustable output voltages of 4.5 to 15V at 25A and 9 to 30V at 15A respectively, Vox Power states. “Vox Power’s NEVO+ power supplies offer system designers ...

Cosel has introduced 1,500W power supplies for medical and industrial applications with a serial interface for monitoring and control. Called PCA1500F, it has a universal input working across 85 to 264Vac and comes in 5, 12, 15, 24, 32 and 48V output versions. “All output voltages can be adjusted to near zero volts and operated in constant voltage or constant current ...

Scientists in France have demonstrated a lens-less infra-red spectral-imaging system for medical diagnostics, obtaining simultaneously morphological and biochemical information. Images at different wavelengths differentiate tumour cells “The combination of a set of lasers and lens-less imaging with an uncooled bolometer matrix allows biochemical mapping over a wide field of view,” said Grégoire Mathieu of Grenoble research institute CEA-Leti. “The project ...

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 ...
