If you design medical devices and want to learn more about electronics, then join us on Design News Radio Tuesday, Feb. 21, at 2:00 p.m. EST.
"Embedded Angles for Medical Products" (register here) will consist of a live, streaming audio and online chat.
The Internet radio show will take place in the first half hour. Our guest will be Steven Dean, global healthcare segment lead for Freescale Semiconductor. An electronics engineer with more than 25 years of experience in the medical device and semiconductor fields, Dean will discuss the role of electronics in medical devices, ranging from heart monitoring systems to imaging machinery. He'll examine recent advances in semiconductor devices, and he will talk about how those advancements are leading to a new breed of medical products.
During our interview, you'll be able to type your questions for Dean via an instant chat window. We'll work some of those questions into our live discussion. At the half-hour mark, the radio portion will end, and Dean will engage listeners via the instant chat for an additional 30 minutes.
We invite you to register for "Embedded Angles for Medical Products" here, and we hope you enjoy the broadcast.

Rob, so this is one of the higher-value types of manufacturing you mentioned (in a different post's thread) that's remained here in the US, and not been offshored. What are the other app areas that have stayed here?
Yes, this is one of the hottest areas in electronics. Plus, the manufacturing of medical equipment is highly complex (high mix low volume), so it tends to stay in North America. It's one of the shinning starts of North American manufactruing.
Hey Chuck, looks like you have another great radio show lined up. The healthcare industry has become innovative ground for electronics. It will be good to hear about recent advances from Freescale.
We recently posted an online slideshow called, “18 People You Didn’t Know Were Engineers.” Within hours of its publication, readers began to suggest names of other luminaries -- astronauts, politicians, athletes and actors -- who were educated or had worked as engineers.
In yet another sign that hydrogen is creeping into the consciousness of global automotive designers, sports car maker Aston Martin plans to run a hydrogen-fueled vehicle in a 24-hour Grand Touring race later this month.
One of the ugly truths of engineering is that life has a price. Cars, buildings, power plants, and industrial machinery can always be made safer for a cost, but manufacturers are at the mercy of the market.
Front-seat television technology is beginning to creep into the worldwide automotive market, but regulators, automakers, and suppliers say it’s unlikely to take hold in the US.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
