Medical applications have made use of radio frequency (RF) energy in the form of electromagnetic waves or electrical currents for over 125 years. The ability to transect and seal vessels and tissue effectively and safely, for example, is a critical surgical task with RF-based techniques being the gold standard for cutting and cauterizing.

In this report, all three of the cases cited required a safe method to digitally monitor temperature in potentially explosive operational environments.

Flagship facility is next step in strategy for best-in-class manufacturing

A previous blog showed that Dynamic Reverse Pulsing (DRP) mode offers several benefits to reactive sputtering of SiO2 through the reduction of substrate heat load by about 12% and delivered a 10% increase in deposition rate when compared to conventional bipolar pulsed (BP) dual-magnetron sputtering. DRP mode halves the power applied to each magnetron and shares the pulsing with an explicit anode,

Computed Tomography (CT) is a computerized imaging technique used in radiology. A rapidly rotating X-ray beam and detector are used to generate cross-sectional images – so-called slices – that form the volumetric and very detailed internal image of the body.

Advanced Energy's complete solution for improving thermal processes often includes a combination of products for measuring, controlling, and regulating critical temperatures

Advanced Energy is putting design solutions and products at engineers’ fingertips with the unveiling of its new website on August 29, 2023. The new, fully re-designed site now integrates comprehensive information on the Artesyn family of products and ensures rapid access to the key information needed to accelerate the development of systems built around advanced power, sensing and control solutions.

Last month, the semiconductor industry converged on the “City by the Bay” to discuss a wide range of solutions for design, manufacture and test. Under the banner of “Building a Path Forward,” more than 570 exhibitors showcased solutions at San Francisco’s Moscone Center. This year’s discussions focused on the opportunity and challenges the industry will face as semiconductor sales approach the $1 trillion level by 2030, up from $600 million today. Key issues that will either support or hinder the industry include closing technology gaps and critical talent shortages, along with limiting supply chain disruptions and the impact on climate change. What was clear is that delivering high-performance chips with increasingly complex 3D structures at atomic-scale dimensions is demanding more sophisticated wafer process solutions based on real world-processing data to accelerate modeling for faster design turns than ever before.

An aging population and a recognition that early detection of ailments enhances life expectancy and reduces costs mean that the number of healthcare applications is growing rapidly. While powering medical technology can be challenging, new digital configurable power solutions offer a number of benefits by enabling control and communication with medical PSUs ‘on the fly’.
