  • Sensor Monitors Patient Recovery In Vivo

    Updated: 2012-02-27 17:25:15
    An implantable sensor that provides surgeons with detailed, real-time information from a surgery site could lead to more accurate assessments of a patient’s recovery. Developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute by Faculty Researcher Eric Ledet, the sensor is attached to commonly used orthopaedic musculoskeletal implants such as rods, plates or prostheses. Scalable, tunable and easy to configure, [...]

    Mannerisms Ruminations on the semiconductor industry from David Manners What About Liquid Semiconductors By David Manners on February 21, 2012 1:08 AM 3 Comments No TrackBacks About a year ago we were glad to celebrate the 10 th anniversary of the discovery of the transistor . During the whole decade , this device has occupied a central position in semiconductor science . So , 50 years ago , starts an article written by Soviet Academician A . F . Ioffe in the Dec 28 th 1960 edition of Electronics . Weekly The article : continues We are still far from understanding the properties of solid semiconductors , let alone those of the liquid and gaseous types . And what about liquid semiconductors At the present time we know practically nothing about their properties . Instead we have prejudices

  • Semiconductor IP Becomes A Critical Element in ASIC Design (SemiWiki - Daniel Nenni)

    Updated: 2012-02-20 08:25:00
    Clearly one of the market trends proving troublesome in the traditional ASIC value chain is the lack of silicon correlated custom IP. And make no mistake, semiconductor IP is a critical decision since it drives both chip level and system level technology differentiation. Under the traditional ASIC model, vendors had their own IP, silicon-proven and tuned to their own fabs. This was a good thing as it assured a fast ramp to volume and more predictable yield curves. The downside was that IP catalogs were somewhat limited which constrained product differentiation. And now a staggering 49 fabs were shut down in 2009-11 as traditional ASIC vendors and IDMs continue to go fabless. View the full article HERE
