The International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (iNEMI) has launched a HFR (halogenated flame retardant)-Free Leadership Program. The program will act as an umbrella for several projects, including a technical evaluation of key electrical and mechanical properties of HFR-free - or low halogen - materials to ensure reliability and performance of replacement materials. Projects will also assess technology readiness and supply chain capabilities.There are 22 companies participating in the program, including OEMs such as Cisco, Dell and HP; EMS/ODM suppliers such as Celestica and Flextronics; and suppliers such as Intel.
Thanks to embedded electronics, medical devices are getting smaller and smarter than ever. Pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are now able to call physicians. MRIs, CT scanners, and ultrasound machines are gaining mobility. And the venerable Band-Aid may soon be able to detect illnesses ranging from fevers to heart arrhythmias. On February 21, join Design News senior editor Charles Murray for a wide-ranging discussion, "Embedded Angles for Medical Products," which will explore the latest developments in medical electronics. The discussion will examine advances in medical device technology and offer an inside look at the embedded electronics behind it.
