Excelitas Technologies has added a new option to the C30662EH/C30645EH 200 µm InGaAs APD, targeting eye-safe LiDAR at 1550 nm.
Excelitas InGaAs APDs provide high quantum efficiency (QE), high responsivity and low noise in the spectral range between 1000 nm and 1700 nm. The new C30645EH-137 features Excelitas’ cutting-edge low noise performance, together with a large dV > 4 V. dV defines the span of bias voltage from Gain 10 to Breakdown. With a large dV, customers can more easily operate the diodes at high gains > 10 over a broad temperature range while simultaneously keeping the noise low.
With their high bandwidth and low noise, the Excelitas C30645 Series helps OEMs and system manufacturers achieve cutting-edge noise specifications with optimal Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs). In particular, the new and enhanced low-noise option helps increase range and performance on LiDAR and eye-safe range-finding systems with the same laser output power. Coherent OTDR and fibre sensing applications like DTS or DAS benefit from enhanced sensitivity on longer ranges when detecting Raman-scattered signals.
Avalue Technology Inc. has launched the 13-inch HID-1337 medical-grade portable touchscreen panel PC which complies with the UL 60601-1 safety benchmark for medical electrical equipment. With flexible utilization of medical data and images, HID-1337 enables real-time sharing of medical information and collaborative work, making it the ideal platform for smart integration of medical information.
In light of accelerated development of telemedicine and PoC (point-of-care) diagnostics since the outbreak of COVID-19, and the added urgency of an imminent super-aged world, healthcare systems must make the change from episodic care to providing preventive and long-term care. Such pressing need for advanced medical solutions is continuously reflected in the medical panel PC market, which is booming as a result of rapid advancement in medical device technologies and growing demand for healthcare.
The use of medical touchscreen panel PCs is not without challenges – stringent standards and regulations in the medical field, big data generated in the healthcare industry due to widespread application of AI and machine learning and interoperability of medical imaging data, and the need to meet user-specific requirements for security, privacy and reliability.
Avalue’s HID-1337 is built with 12th/13th-Gen Intel® Core™ (Raptor Lake PS / Alder Lake PS) processor and Intel® Iris® Xe graphics, providing unparalleled performance and energy efficiency, and real-time integration of information, streaming medical data and images. Compliant with the UL 60601-1 medical standard, the Avalue HID-1337 ensures that medical procedures are carried out safely. The HID-1337’s front panel is IP65 dustproof and waterproof, antibacterial coating prevents the transmission of bacteria, and the full-flat panel is easy to clean even with ordinary sterilizers or detergents, making it suitable for monitoring patient status in the operating room or intensive care unit.
At the healthcare personnel and patient level, safety, convenience and user experience are equally important. Integrating patient monitoring solution, Avalue HID-1337 has built-in TPM and RFID to ensure only authorized users can log in to the system, assisting system access, and providing security of data and control system.
With a flexible and user-friendly operating interface, its PCAP multi-touch screen can be operated with medical gloves. Compliant with IEC-60601-1-8 requirements for alarm systems in medical electrical equipment, it features a three-colour light indicator to quickly alert healthcare personnel to critical warnings. The 5W speaker provides clearer audio alarms, and 2.5GbE gigabit Ethernet provides faster and more reliable network connection. The HID-1337 can be connected to multiple pieces of healthcare monitoring equipment through USB 3.1 type C, providing real-time analysis and diagnosis with patient data, such as vital signs and blood oxygen saturation.
Avalue 13-inch HID-1337 is easy to install and highly mobile, making it suitable for hospitals, ambulances or healthcare sites with limited resources. The compact and lightweight HID-1337 makes it easier to retrieve health records and medical charts in a space-constrained ward or medical shelving trolley. It performs remarkably well in medical data management and monitoring, high-resolution medical image handling and alarm functionality, making it ideal for applications such as medical training or simulation and critical life monitoring systems.
Our new whitepaper “The Rise of the SoM” explores the benefits of a System-on-Module approach to complex CPU design.
In today’s fast-paced technological landscape, businesses seek innovative solutions to stay ahead. One such breakthrough is the System-on-Module (SoM), a compact and versatile approach to embedding complex processing systems, offering a streamlined path to market, significant cost savings and enhanced scalability.
A System-on-Module integrates the core components of a processing system onto a single modular printed circuit board, suitable for applications ranging from digital signage to advanced robotics. Historically, SoMs were utilised mainly by smaller organisations lacking in-house technology capabilities. However, larger producers are now adopting this approach for its numerous benefits.
SoMs drastically reduce time to market, enhance product competitiveness and lower development and sourcing costs. They enable businesses to seamlessly source replacements and additional modules with identical specifications, ensuring minimal production disruption. SoMs are being successfully deployed in industrial, medical and automotive applications
With contributions from our engineering team and several of our leading SoM suppliers, our whitepaper explores the SoM landscape, examines what the market is looking for in a SoM and reviews the ascent of connected services and the future of SoMs.
