Dymax Corp. designed its Ultra Fast(TM) adhesives to cure up to 300% faster than typical UV curing adhesives when exposed to visible and low-intensity longwave UV light. The company says the adhesives can cure completely in less than one second upon exposure to the light, forming durable bonds in the same time as those achieved with traditional UV adhesives and more costly, higher-intensity UV curing lamps. Dymax claims the faster cure times allow more rapid throughput with most lamps, extending the useful life of the light bulb, which in turn reduces cost by lowering the frequency of costly bulb replacement. The adhesives bond glass, plastic, metal, and many porous surfaces. Applications include use in glass and optical assembly, wire tacking, electrical potting, and sealing and encapsulation.

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.
