Special Pen with Pressure-Sensitive Sensors May Help Early Detection of Parkinson’s Disease

Today’s primary tool for diagnosing Parkinson’s disease is the diagnostic ability of the physician, who can generally identify the clinical symptoms only when the disease is at a relatively advanced stage. A new joint study by researchers at the University of Haifa and Rambam Hospital that compared the handwriting of 40 sick and healthy subjects suggests an innovative and noninvasive method of diagnosing Parkinson’s at a fairly early stage.

Lion Precision Introduce Clear Label Sensor For Tight Spaces

Clear label sensor technology can now fit into tight spaces for unique labeling applications. Clear labels have presented challenges to label application processes for years. Clear label sensors using capacitive technology solved the edge detection problem back in 1995, but some unique application and processing operations require clear label sensing in a space too small for typical capacitive clear label sensors. Lion Precision’s new LRD3120 Clear Label Sensor uses a small, remote sensing head that will fit in small spaces.
