KineticaRT Designs a Low-cost Minimally Intrusive System to Monitor the Well-being of Elderly People - Following the successful delivery of a TSB-funded feasibility study, Simon Hedges, director of Exeter-based KineticaRT, presented a project summary to the TSB Collaboration Nation audience in London on 31 March. The elevator pitch highlighted the need to allow more elderly people to live independently, the benefits of the proposed low-cost minimally intrusive Activity of Daily Life monitor and KineticaRT’s need for partners and funding to take the project forward.

Complying with the EuP Directive - Conformity Assessment Procedures - The EuP Directive has a requirement for CE marking of compliant products. As in the New Approach Directives, establishing compliance involves conformity assessment in line with prescribed procedures. Generally for establishing compliance with EuP implementing measures, two procedures are available, “Internal Design Control” and “management System” or full QA system. These require preparation of documentary evidence of compliance including results of measurements. Despite the fact that there are now 9 product groups subject to regulation, there are currently very few standards available for use that have been published in the Official Journal and so offer a presumption of compliance Those that have been can serve as a sensible guide for compliance measurements until such time as more are published.

The EuP and ErP Directives – Latest Developments in Implementation - The EuP directive came into force on the 10th August 2005 and was transposed into Member State law by 10th August 2007. This was the first piece of legislation that enshrined the practice of eco design in Law and many companies wishing to sell their electrical or electronic products in the EU, who would not normally have considered the environmental impact of these products now face the prospect of being legally obliged to do so. The EuP directive was repealed in 2009 by the Energy Related Products directive or ErP. Following a summary of the scope and major features of the EuP/ErP directives, this article will review the latest developments in the implementation process and give an overview of the emerging design requirements. Further articles will go on to discuss the important areas of conformity assessment, market surveillance and enforcement and will look at possible future developments, discussing to what degree the legislation fulfils the goal of reducing environmental impacts.

’FIB on the Web’ brings high-end FIB applications to the comfort of your own office.
by Lloyd Peto (24 June 2010)
“As simple as having your own FIB-lab in house”.
NanoScope in proud to launch this innovation in remote consultancy – which permits you to see and direct your circuit interventions/failure analysis/fab-quals in real-time, from the comfort of your own desk.
This unique approach is achieved by permitting video conferencing between you (our customers), the ion beam microscope image output itself, and our engineer performing the work. Made possible by using our in-house developed LiveFIBTM capability.

You can see your device during calibration and intervention while discussing the process and design features in real time with the operator, and to consult on the process as it develops – solving any potentially time consuming issues, as they arise. “This ‘LiveFIB’ service enables designers to verify that the FIB modifications are being performed at the correct location and that the specified changes are correct… was viewed as a success by all involved” stated Richard Clark of Nanotech Semiconductor.

Advantages of this new service
? greater control ? all your office resources (design tools) are available to support the process ? cost/time savings ? quickly visualise & solve complex unforeseen issues–on the ‘live’ image
? more comfort for you ? greater intimacy with the process/technique (knowledge/training) ? no need to fly or drive to our lab ? AND - almost no documentation required

NanoScope has pioneered successful strategies to extend FIB, SEM and TEM capabilities since we started – now we’ve put a FIB on your desk and got rid of the job ‘overhead’ – isn’t that easier?
