ENDICOTT, NY – Endicott Interconnect and VisiLED have entered a development and manufacturing agreement for medical devices. EI’s Precision Equipment Manufacturing team will provide contract manufacturing services, including prototype fabrication, product development, manufacture and test of LED lights. The first devices produced by EI directly replace existing overhead operating room lights and will be available for sale in the second quarter of the year.
VisiLED develops LED-based lighting systems for use in surgical suites, medical and dental exam rooms. These devices replace current halogen and xenon bulb technology with smaller, LED light sources which reduce power consumption, heat generation and device weight, while providing greater light intensity and improved light color. Other products under development include an endoscope light, used for examination and photography within the human body, and a device for illuminating deep cavities during surgery.
New York – The introduction of Microsoft's Vista in the second half of the year will drive PC demand as users upgrade to higher performing PCs to maximize the benefits of the improved OS, according to Deutsche Bank analysts.
Users may migrate to systems with dual-core processors, 1GB+ RAM and enhanced GPUs, particularly mobile users and those who favor video editing or high-end gaming. DB believes Vista will spur a positive mix-shift across the PC industry, reversing the recent shift towards low-end desktops and notebooks.
ATLANTA– Jabil Circuit, the Georgia Institute of Technology, GTC, Universal Instruments and Vitronics Soltec recently completed a pilot test to demonstrate the speed and viability of CAMX software for electronics manufacturers. CAMX aims to quickly and effectively gather, compile and communicate data essential for manufacturers as they seek to address regulatory requirements and control costs.
The pilot took place at Jabil’s Billerica, MA, manufacturing facility in October 2005. The test team installed software and configured vital equipment in minutes. A number of CAMX events identified by Jabil for the pilot were collected and displayed throughout Jabil’s global enterprise using real-time, Web-based applications.
Since CAMX is based upon international standards, the time spent on configuring systems was minimal. The test also showed that critical machine and manufacturing data were exchanged accurately and efficiently.
Jim Jacobson, director of software product development for Universal, said, "The test proved that CAMX will enable more of our customers to easily monitor and collect machine performance data."
As demonstrated by the pilot test, CAMX can simplify and improve the speed of communications, while providing a non-proprietary standard platform for message exchange for manufacturers.
