Bal Seal Engineering
Inc. has confirmed it has set a date of Oct. 13, 2010 for the official
rollout of its SYGNUS Implantable Contact System, which combines electrical
contacts and isolation seals in a standardized, platform-ready "stack" configuration
to provide a turnkey connecting solution for implantable devices used in
cardiac rhythm management, neuromodulation and neuro sensing therapies.
According to Bal Seal, the new SYGNUS system pairs the
company's Bal Conn electrical contact technology with pre-tested silicone
seals, resulting in an "all-inclusive package" engineered to help large and
small device OEMs improve speed to market and eliminate the need for
procurement and testing of individual components.
Bal Seal said the number of contacts and seals in the SYGNUS
system will be configurable to meet unique application and industry
requirements, such as the IS4 standard for cardiac health management devices. The
Canted-coil spring contact design will offer multi-point conductivity and low
insertion force, and will compensate for any surface irregularity. The system's
silicone seals will provide dielectric isolation, and the combined stack will
offer resistance to long-term material adhesion and potential fatigue caused by
multiple lead insertion cycles. Contacts in the stack will be force and
resistance tested, and sealing components will be packaged to critical clean
standards.

We looked at a number of sources to determine this year's greenest cars, from KBB to automotive trade magazines to environmental organizations. These 14 cars emerged as being great at either stretching fuel or reducing carbon footprint.
Researchers at MIT and Sandia National Labs have observed a reaction in lithium-air batteries that could help improve the design of these cells for electric vehicles and other applications.
Healthcare might seem to be an unlikely target application for the Internet of Things technology, but recent developments show small ways that big-data is going to make an impact on patient care moving into the future.

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
