Every year the Society of Vacuum Coaters (SVC) – a non-profit, international, professional organization primarily devoted to coating and surface finishing using vacuum processes – brings together industry professionals, researchers and academics for SVC TechCon, the world’s largest technical expo for vacuum coating.

Steel remains incredibly relevant and deeply integrated into the modern world. Steel is used extensively in engineering, construction and other applications vital to modern life. The downside is that traditional methods of manufacturing, based upon fossil fuels such as coal, are damaging to the environment as they produce significant quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2). In fact, according to McKins

In operating rooms, every device’s performance is critical and essential to a patient’s survival. Dialysis centers require precise readings to administer crucial treatment, and in emergency rooms, the reliability of electrical equipment is quite literally a matter of life and death.

For more than 35 years the IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) has been an important event in the annual calendar of events for the great and the good of the power electronics sector. This year’s event in Long Beach, California, proved to be no exception, with its combination of technical, industry, plenary and education sessions, an exposition that attracted around 300 exhibitors and a variety of special events and networking opportunities including a career fair at which companies and graduating students could meet.

Electrosurgery has revolutionized the field of medicine, offering precise and efficient methods for tissue cutting, coagulation and ablation. With advancements in technology, new trends are emerging and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in surgical interventions. Among these trends, pulsed field ablation (PFA) stands out as a promising technique with the potential to redefine electrosurgical procedures. In this blog, we'll delve into the current trends in electrosurgery, with a special focus on pulsed field ablation.

The Medical Device & Manufacturing West (MD&M West) tradeshow was held February 6-8 in Anaheim, CA with over 1,600 exhibitors and more than 14,000 attendees from the medical industry. Top medical device and equipment makers, power supply providers, thought leaders and engineers attend. Once again, Advanced Energy (AE) played a significant role as a featured exhibitor.

IEC 60601-1 is the most critical international safety specification for the design of medical electrical equipment. This standard defines classifications that impact safety-related design, which are based on how systems interact with patients.

2023 was a year of transformation for Advanced Energy. In engineering, operations and digital, AE emerged stronger from the post-pandemic surge and leapt forward – better leveraging its collective of leading technologists, brands and operations to serve its customers better. Supported by a 40+ years of history, in 2023 AE was more effective, agile and inventive than ever – developing smaller, more
