How it Works: Personal Defibrillator — Design and implementation
Part 1 of the FAQ began an exploration of the first Philips AED, a very innovative personal defibrillator which completely changed the way, place, operation, user role, and time-to-administer electric-shock resuscitation, as well as the popular thinking and expectations about it. Q: What other challenges did Philips face in delivering the desired BTE waveform? A: […]
How it Works — the Personal Defibrillator: Medical basics and principles
The personal defibrillator combines sophisticated electronics with precise, adaptive control of the high-energy pulses which can re-start the heart’s beating but do so without shocking the patient to death. You’ve seen those life-saving defibrillators in offices, malls, and even homes, quietly at the ready for immediate use. When the Philips Medical Systems division of Royal […]

Injection molding, 3D printing take their places in digital manufacturing
In the context of all the buzz around 3D printing, the term “injection molding” may sound like a ho-hum and low-tech term. However, depending upon your design requirements, there is an important place for both processes and 3D printing (additive manufacturing) is not poised to take over injection molding any time soon. Although 3D printing […]
