In a big step for securing critical information systems, such as medical records in clinical settings, Dartmouth College researchers have created a new approach to computer security that authenticates users continuously while they are using a terminal and automatically logs them out when they leave or when someone else steps in to use their terminal.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Glucose Sensors: the Next Generation" report to their offering.
Texas Instruments (TI) today introduced its first transimpedance amplifier (TIA) for the 100G optical networking market. As a key component of the system, the ONET2804T brings high levels of sensitivity with negligible cross-talk penalty and low input-referred noise (IRN) to provide stable and robust communication in hot-pluggable transceivers.
Markets for pulsed RF power devices up to 18 GHz are expected to show continued growth over the next 5 years despite the current economic turmoil and cuts in defense spending. While their association with consumer spending fuels the volatility of many global electronics markets, pulsed RF power devices are supported by quite different priorities.
The interstitial pressure inside a tumor is often remarkably high compared to normal tissues and is thought to impede the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents as well as decrease the effectiveness of radiation therapy. While medications exist that temporarily decrease tumor pressure, identifying the optimal window to initiate treatment—when tumor pressure is lowest—remains a challenge. With support from NIBIB, researchers at Purdue University have developed a novel sensor that can wirelessly relay pressure readings from inside a tumor.
With almost all of the U.S. population armed with cellphones – and close to 80 percent carrying a smartphone – mobile phones have become second-nature for most people.
Researchers at MIT and Northeastern University have equipped a robot with a novel tactile sensor that lets it grasp a USB cable draped freely over a hook and insert it into a USB port.

Researchers from the Technical Research Centre for Dependency Care and Autonomous Living (CETpD), on the UPC’s Vilanova i la Geltrú Campus, have designed a device that detects falls in elderly people without them having to press a button for assistance. It pinpoints their location inside or outside the home and notifies the emergency services if necessary.
Simultaneous use of two popular continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors revealed clear differences in their accuracy and in patient-rated treatment experiences, including ease of use, feelings of safety, and willingness to use the system in daily life. Results of a clinical trial comparing the Dexcom® G4 and Enlite(tm) sensors are published in Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics (DTT), a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is published Open Access on the DTT website.
HID Global®, a worldwide leader in secure identity solutions, today announced that its Identification Technologies division is expanding its ultra-durable Epoxy Tag portfolio of RFID tags to include broadband UHF varieties to address the needs of RFID systems integrators worldwide who are seeking increased data collection speed and accuracy.
CIVCOM, a high end DWDM tunable transponders specialist, is first to release a line of 100G coherent transponders based on ClariPhy’s highly advanced LightSpeed-II™ family of DSPs.
We have all seen a peacock show its extravagant, colorful tail feathers in courtship of a peahen. Now, a group of researchers have used a special camera developed by an engineer at Washington University in St. Louis to discover that female northern swordtail fish choose their mates based on a similar display.
American Science and Engineering, Inc. ("AS&E") a leading worldwide supplier of innovative X-ray detection solutions, announced today that the Company's new MINI Z™ handheld Z Backscatter® screening system has been named an ASIS Accolades Award winner and selected for the best in show, "Judge's Choice" Award, from amongst all ASIS Accolades winners. ASIS Accolades is an awards competition that recognizes the security industry's most innovative new products, services, and/or solutions.
ChemImage Sensor Systems (CISS™) announces that it has been awarded a Phase I SBIR contract for the development of a Wide-Field, Deep UV Raman Hyperspectral Imager by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Mission ready. That was the verdict for the U.S. Army's A Battery, 3rd Air Defense Artillery, who were recently certified to operate Raytheon Company's JLENS radar to protect the National Capital Region (NCR) from cruise missiles and drone threats.
