CIPOS™ MICRO IPMS ARE QUALIFIED FOR HARSH ENVIRONMENTS

600V intelligent power modules (IPMs) from Infineon make up the CIPOS Micro IPMs. They are qualified for harsh humid environments, passing 1000 hours of high voltage, high temperature and high humidity reverse bias (HV H3TRB) stress testing. This makes the energy-efficient IPM suitable for power appliance motor drives particularly in circulator hydronic pumps, drain pumps for washing machines, dishwashers, […]

3D PRINTED ORGAN-ON-CHIP

Researcher at Harvard University had been working to build new microphysiological systems (MPS), also known as organs-on-chips, that can mimic the operation of the structure and function of native tissue. By developing such systems, they are replacing the conventional way of measuring and testing synthetic organs -usually by testing them first on animals. Although such a solution can

30 MINUTES HIV DETECTION USING USB STICK

In partnership with DNA Electronics, Imperial College London researchers had developed a revolutionary USB stick that can detect HIV in the bloodstream. In order to detect the virus, it’s enough to use a drop of blood. Then the USB stick generates an electrical signal that can be read by a computer, laptop or handheld device. This detection
