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’.

Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a non-thermal energy modality that is being used to reduce and remove solid organ tumors. This technique applies a high voltage electrical field to cells to increase the permeability of the cell membrane, which leads to targeted cell death. While PFA has proven to be effective, researchers have recently developed a new type of irreversible electroporation (IRE) technique called high-frequency IRE (H-FIRE), which offers unique benefits

The annual conference of the Society of Vacuum Coaters – better known as SVC TechCon – has been an important annual fixture for the vacuum coating industry since its inception 66 years ago.

The cables that power production sites in automated welding processes must withstand the harsh conditions present in a welding environment.

Recent months have seen a flood of news stories highlighting so-called ‘conversational’ artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as OpenAI’s ‘ChatGPT’ and Google’s ‘Bard’.

During a production process that includes welding operations, the finished welds must remain consistent.
