New products from Electronica 2022
Semiconductors and modules graced the halls of Electronica 2022. Here are some of those announced at this year’s event.
Low-acoustic-noise 1U-high modular power supply delivers up to 800 W with BF-ready medical isolation
TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the TDK-Lambda brand MU4 series of 1U high power supplies. Featuring very low acoustic noise and BF-ready medical isolation, the MU4 can provide 600W with an input of 85 to 264Vac (derate below 90Vac) and 800W with a 180 to 264Vac input. Up to five fully isolated output voltages […]
Are you OK?
Think carefully before you answer, especially if the answer is no. This could lead to a variety of medical tests to measure different parameters to determine the nature of your out of sorts health situation. Of course, you could be among the many people who can not only say I’m feeling good or even great, […]
What makes a stethoscope smart?
Unlike the analog stethoscope used by doctors for over 100 years, the digital stethoscope appeared in 1960. According to DataM Intelligence, a market research and business intelligence firm, the Electronic Stethoscope Market size was valued at USD 342.1 million in 2021 and is estimated to reach at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.20% […]
Ultra-low-power bi-directional wireless mesh network modules allow efficient antenna, sensor design
NeoCortec is releasing its new P Series of wireless NeoMesh modules at Electronica in Munich from 15th to 18th November 2022 in Hall B5 at Stand W11. Featuring an RF/IO antenna connection placed under the module on solder pads for quick and easy soldering to any PCB, the P Series modules allow for a more efficient […]
Thin-film resistors excel in high sulfur, high humidity settings
Environmental stability for thin film resistors has become more important with increased electronic content. Sulfur contamination for film resistors, for example, is becoming a more prominent issue for a wide range of end products. Electronic devices and circuitry may encounter sulfur in the presence of oils, lubricants, gaskets, hoses, and atmospheric gasses in highly industrial […]

COSEL Co, Ltd announced the expansion of its medical power offering with the addition of a 1500W version to its PJMA series. The 1500W PJMA1500F has a universal input range of 85 to 264VAC and complies with international safety standards. Designed for demanding medical applications, the PJMA series is suitable for Body Floating (BF) applications […]
Advanced semantic segmentation models deliver 2x lower latency, 3-7% higher accuracy
A new set of industry-leading semantic segmentation models, dubbed DeciSeg, are said to significantly outperform the most powerful models publicly available, such as the MobileViT released by Apple, and the DeepLab family released by Google. Deci’s models deliver more than 2x lower latency, as well as 3-7% higher accuracy. Semantic segmentation is one of the […]
UVC emitting diodes offered in ceramic- and quartz-based packages
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. introduced two new UVC (short wavelength ultraviolet) emitting diodes in a ceramic / quartz-based package for sterilization in medical, industrial, and consumer applications. Compared to previous-generation solutions, the Vishay Semiconductors VLMU35CR40-275-120 and VLMU35CR41-275-120 deliver higher radiant power at a lower cost while offering higher disinfection efficiency and longer service life.
