Medical Imaging Equipment OEMs Can Achieve Faster, More Accurate Results
Joining with Texas Instrument’s (TI) full range of catalog and application-specific analog products, TI has announced a portfolio of over 15 dedicated embedded processors. These processors enable faster, more accurate results for doctors and clinicians while empowering imaging equipment manufacturers to develop new modalities or to make existing products smaller and more portable. With these new processors, TI delivers a complete signal chain solution, helping to increase the speed and availability of care of millions worldwide. Read more
Total CMOS Device Earns WiMedia PHY Designation
Ripcord2, a single-chip, total complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology created by Staccato Communications, has earned official WiMedia PHY designation for the recently released Spectrum Extension Release specification. The announcement gives greater credence to the possibility of broader transmission of the WiMedia common radio platform. The Ripcord2 device can be employed in heavy volume consumer uses, including handsets, printers, wireless audio/video and other technologies. Read more

Call for Papers: 2009 International IEEE Conference on RFID
The 2009 International IEEE Conference on RFID (IEEE RFID), scheduled for 27-28 April 2009 in Orlando, Florida, USA, is one of the leading international technical conferences. IEEE RFID, co-sponsored by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, the IEEE Consumer Electronics Society, the IEEE Electron Devices Society, the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society, the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society, the IEEE Professional Communication Society, the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology and the IEEE TA New Technology Directions Committee, will bring together leading researchers, developers, integrators and visionaries to discuss and expand their knowledge of technologies, systems, networks, algorithms and applications that support the development and adoption of RF-based identification and communication systems. Papers presenting new research related to the theory and practice of RF-based identification and communication systems are requested. All submissions should describe original work not previously published or currently under review for publication in another conference or journal. Learn more

Debating the New Ground Rules
What do you owe your employer? What does your company owe you? An interesting debate on the subject resides at Business Week's online careers site. One careers columnist insists that in today's workplace, where there is no longer any expectation of 20- or even 10-year tenures and companies regularly lay off employees without giving them a moment's notice, a professional should feel no guilt about accepting a job offer knowing that he or she is prepared to leave if a more lucrative or otherwise more rewarding position opens up.

Neuroscientists Develop Pulsed Ultrasound Method to Control Brain Circuits Without Surgery
Neuroscientists at Arizona State University (USA) have used pulsed ultrasound methods to activate brain circuit movements without invasive surgery. Their research, which was published in the Public Library of Science One, offers answers into how low-power ultrasound can be used in this area and provides the possibility for fresh treatments of brain disorders and disease. Through the technique of optically studying the movement of neuronal circuits while simultaneously breeding low-intensity, low-frequency ultrasound through brain tissues, the researchers believe they have found a strong vehicle for adjusting the activity of neural circuits.
