Tips on breaking the spiraling costs of developing electronics products for the medical market will be given in a presentation at Medelec, the new medical electronics conference and exhibition in Cambridge on the 29th November 2011. http://www.medelec.co.uk/

MEDELEC is the only technical event in the UK which focuses specifically on the increasingly important role that electronics components and embedded systems are playing in the design, development and manufacture of medical devices.

The presentation by John Hayes, Technical Manager at Cambridge Temperature Concepts, will use as an example the company’s Duofertility medical device, used to help couples with fertility problems, which went from a sheet of paper to being sold direct to consumers in less than 18 months with development costs below US$1m.

The T24-PA wireless pulse acquisition module is designed for the collection and processing of pulse related measurements. This includes the measurement between pulses to provide outputs in Hz, RPM and Period as well as actual pulse counting. Miniature in size, the device transmits on license-free 2.4Ghz, avoiding local radio interference to ensure data integrity and security. The T24-PA wireless pulse measuring device is also available in IP rated enclosures.

"The pulse acquisition module is an important addition to the T24 wireless range of instrumentation products," said Kelly Voysey, Sales and Marketing Manager at Mantracourt. "It will enable the remote monitoring of processes that have a periodic nature, such as motor, shaft or flow meter rotation. Along with our other wireless sensor modules, the pulse acquisition module will help us provide a complete solution to engineers seeking to remotely monitor and control a given process."

Embedded Systems at the Heart of Green Technology

Pebble Bay Helps Vickers Electronics Develop Advanced Energy Management System

Embedded systems design consultancy, Pebble Bay, has announced that it has been working with Vickers Electronics in the development of a new microprocessor-based control unit for industrial heating systems. Based on an ARM Cortex™-M3 processor the new design is far more powerful than the previous solution, and has the capacity for significant additional capabilities.

Vickers Electronics designs and installs energy management systems that seek to reduce energy wastage by controlling all aspects of time and temperature. Vickers engaged Pebble Bay to undertake a complete re-design of the hardware and a software port to provide the new control unit on which their existing application software would run.

"Central to the design is an ARM Cortex™-M3 which has an ideal combination of features for Vickers’ application." said Ian Willats, Managing Director at Pebble Bay. "The ARM Cortex™-M3 core gives good performance and is supported by a wide range of development tools, while the on-chip peripherals minimize the cost and complexity of external devices.”

On-Shoring Creates Demand for Qualified Engineers (published in Machinery Market)

A few years ago, 'out-sourcing' was a trendy term. Today, the new term seems to be 'On-shoring'. On-Shoring is the name being given to the recent trend of manufacturers looking to source components within the UK as opposed to low cost economies such as China or Eastern Europe. Engineering companies are reporting that many contracts are returning to the UK, so much so, that UK engineering companies are now struggling to recruit suitably qualified precision engineers.

During the past two years, many manufacturing companies have started to realise that sourcing abroad can incur many hidden costs.
