SOI-CMOS Device Technology

In recent years, the mobile communication market represented by the mobile telephone has been showing remarkable growth. This market has been making tough demands for semiconductor integrated circuits, which are mounted components, to consume less power, have higher integration, have multi-function capability, and be faster. We at Oki have been working on developing complete depletion type SOI ...

Progress in device technology.

Advances in implantable device technology over the past few years can be seen in these illustrations. The photograph on the left shows a 1997-model implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in front of an older version. Beside it is a modern single-chamber pacemaker in front of an older mercury-zinc–cell model. The Table shows their relative weights. These devices are now small enough to per...

Trustworthy Medical Device Software

This report summarizes what the computing research community knows about the role of trustworthy software for safety and effectiveness of medical devices. Research shows that problems in medical device software result largely from a failure to apply well-known systems engineering techniques, especially during specification of requirements and analysis of human factors. Recommendations to increa...

DSM Medical Coatings via UV curing technology: powerful tools in device design

DSM has developed and markets a variety of hydrophilic UV curable coatings. These hydrophilic coatings include ComfortCoat lubricous coatings and anti-microbial lubricous coatings for both catheters and guide wires, as well as newly developed VitroStealth non biofouling coatings. In this paper we will highlight the technological and clinical benefits of our entire UV coatings platform and princ...
