Global trends in health and wellness are driving demand for innovative measurement solutions. With an aging population and rising healthcare costs, more sustainable health monitoring solutions are urgently needed. Through collaboration and the EU project Sustronics, Screentec from Oulu, Finland, aims to reduce environmental impact and promote industry-wide adoption of more sustainable practices by developing wearable electrodes with eco-friendly substrates and conductive pastes, such as copper and carbon.

Imagine a material so smart it can "remember" its shape and mimic the flexibility of living tissue. This is nitinol—a breakthrough alloy that’s redefining medical technology. From self-expanding stents to life-saving grafts, nitinol’s super-elasticity is transforming how we approach implants and devices. But crafting this remarkable material isn’t without its challenges.

Advances in science and medical technologies have significantly enhanced the quality of patient care through the use of specialized components, vital-measuring sensors and other critical medical devices and components. Due to the harsh environmental conditions and stringent performance requirements that medical technologies are subjected to, it is crucial to protect components with a reliable conformal coating. Parylene conformal coatings provide a host of beneficial attributes, including biocompatibility and biostability, dielectric and barrier protection, dry-film lubricity and ultra-thin and pinhole-free encapsulation.

When working with demand control ventilation (DCV) systems, it is essential to comply with Title 24, California's Building Energy Efficiency Standards. Title 24 sets various requirements for building design and construction to reduce energy consumption and improve indoor air quality (IAQ). Title 24 mandates the adoption of DCV systems for new and renovated buildings in California, drawing significant attention to DCV implementation. This article provides insights into Title 24 and offers solutions for compliance.

This article provides a comprehensive overview of current and upcoming activities in these fields, offering a glimpse into the future of cutting-edge technologies.

Die steigende Nachfrage nach Mikroteilen in verschiedenen Branchen ist ungebrochen. Die μ-MIM-Technologie wurde speziell für besonders kleine Metallteile mit engen Maßtoleranzen entwickelt. Wir haben uns ausschließlich auf die Herstellung von kleinen, komplexen Metallteilen in Netzform konzentriert, so dass der Trend zu MIM-Teilen mit einer Größe von mehr als 30 mm nicht in unserem Fokus liegt.

Micro Systems will be exhibiting within the IVAM Microtechnology area at COMPAMED 2023, a premier international trade show focused on high-tech solutions for the medical industry, which will be held in Düsseldorf, Germany from Monday 13 to Thursday 16 November 2023. Micro Systems looks forward to welcoming all attendees at Booth F35.3, Hall 8a.

TDC is a company located in Japan, that is the world's only company with ultra-precision mirror polishing technology that can polish any shape of any material, including metal, ceramics, resin, and glass, with nano-level precision. TDC has a total of 4,000 domestic customers, mainly companies in the automobile, semiconductor, and space industries, many of which process ultra-precision parts such as MEMS (microelectromechanical system) sensors. There are also processed products that only TDC can produce in the world.

Technical glass enables unique features that are interesting for a wide variety of high-precision applications. Glass is chemically inert, therefore it remains chemically stable in harsh environments. Moreover, technical glass e.g. fused silica is resistant to high temperatures and enables excellent optical transmission without any auto fluorescence from deep UV to mid IR.
