Medical technology requires durable connection solutions

There are areas of application in which reliable function and durability are essential. This applies to electronics and – often not in focus – electrical connections. WECO manufactures connection solutions for applications where the zero-defect principle is a prerequisite for operation. One example is medical technology.

Siemens envisions a suite of generative AI-powered industrial copilots across the entire value chain that will transform the way companies design, plan, develop, engineer, and work. Together with early pilot customers and partners, Siemens is advancing generative AI-powered copilot solutions across multiple industries, from automotive, infrastructure, transportation, and healthcare to manufacturing and mechanical engineering.

Few people in Switzerland know the display industry as well as Dieter Heimgartner. More than 40 years ago, in 1980 to be exact, he co-developed STN (super-twisted nematic) technology, co-inventing the globally significant STN patent, which had a decisive impact on LCD technology then and continues to shape it today. So, when it comes to determining the direction in which the display market is heading, there are few more qualified to comment than Dieter Heimgartner – who, you’ll be interested to know, is not only the co-founder of DMB Technics but also its CEO.

This article by RECOM Power discusses what specifications a true ‘ready to use’ product needs to meet. Mobility applications put heavy demands on power converters. While commercial products may meet some of the required specifications, extensive external circuitry is typically required for overall compliance with standards such as EN 50155 for railways.

More power, less load: the S700 active shoulder exoskeleton from exoIQ
