Continued from the university efforts in Pt2, another example of a university-designed automated AMBU bag-based ventilator was demonstrated by Rice University. Working with Metric Technologies, a Canadian global health design firm, Rice University developed an automated AMBU-based ventilation unit that can be built for less than $300 worth of parts and was based on a […]
How can the world solve the global ventilator shortage problem? Pt 2
To meet the current demand for ventilators, many universities have risen to the challenge to create easily-constructed, low-cost ventilators from readily available parts. While the traditional ventilator with all the bells and whistles could cost from $30,00 to $40, 000 or more, university teams have been able to demonstrate working prototypes – often with less […]
How can the world solve the global ventilator shortage problem? Pt 1
Hospital ventilators are complex pieces of machinery that can use several sensors to control airflow and pressure. Existing suppliers’ monthly production is typically in the 10,000 or so units range. New production capacity will take months. As hospital and local governments have pleaded to get more ventilators during the coronavirus pandemic, several organizations have responded […]
How does heterogeneous integration impact sensors?
For those not familiar with the term, heterogeneous integration (HI) occurs when diverse components are assembled into System-in-Package (SiP) architectures. Late in 2019, SEMI, the global industry association representing the electronics design and manufacturing supply chain, announced the 2019 release of the Heterogeneous Integration Roadmap (HIR). Prominent examples of the roadmap are wireless and mixed […]
How is MEMS involved in coronavirus testing?
Testing for the presence or absence of coronavirus (COVID-19) is one of the major issues during the current pandemic. On March 21, 2020, Cepheid, a company that designs and manufacturers molecular testing systems and products announced that it received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for its Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2 […]
What can sensor experts do while isolated?
With the coronavirus dictating what people can and cannot do for the short term, and many conferences cancelling or postponing, especially those in the April timeframe, healthy sensors experts should focus on what they can do to move forward. One suggestion is plan on attending the Commercialization of Emerging Technologies Conference (COMS2020) that will occur […]
How do sensors impact healthcare?
The coronavirus, COVID-19, has brought significant attention to accurate, consistent and widely-available medical testing and diagnosis. Sensors provide the basis of providing the data and direction for many healthcare issues. Valued at USD 12.36 billion in 2019, the global medical sensors market is expected to reach a value of USD 20.72 billion by 2025, growing at a […]
What kind of growth is expected in 3D sensing?
According to the report, “3D Sensor Market by Type” the global 3D sensor market is expected to grow from USD 2.9 billion in 2020 to USD 10.0 billion by 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.9%. The market researchers acknowledge that one of the main driving factors of 3D sensor market is […]
What’s new in Printed/Flexible Stretchable and Functional Fabric Sensors?
By winning one of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions 2018 Awards in the Gears and Gadgets category, BeBop Sensors fabric sensors have put printed/flexible stretchable (P/F/S) and functional fabric (FF) sensors on many people’s radar. Over four million of their sensors are in daily use in products such as gloves, helmets and more. Of course, this […]
What sensors are used to detect the coronavirus?
Thermography is the front-line sensing technology to detect and isolate victims of the coronavirus (COVID-19). The non-contact thermal sensors have been ubiquitous over the past few weeks as the numbers of those contracting the virus and dying as the result of it have risen. Accuracy of the infrared (IR) thermometer gun’s measurements depends on several […]
