The healthcare and medical inspection technology proposals have unveiled

In "ISSCC 2010" Session27 "Directions in Health, Energy & RF", many universities and enterprises in all the three areas of 10 publications.

In the first half of the publication, 5 3 items and healthcare and medical inspection technology, 2, and relevant energy regeneration technology, after half of 5 items posted and body area network communication or RF applications.

Healthcare and medical testing technologies, is designed to substantially achieve device miniaturization, reduce costs and further improve the performance of technology after publication.

Of particular concern is the Harvard (Harvard University) published two nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) device technology (Lecture number 27.2). Harvard University, the ongoing miniaturization NMR devices and high-performance of the appliance and the University at ISSCC 2008 published small NMR device compared to the weight of 20 times the size 30 times, performance improves 2.5 times. The last publication of the device is the first generation, this announcement by the size of table tennis magnet and a new integrated PA's high-performance CMOS RF transceiver, composed of the Palm-size NMR device (2nd generation), and the chip coil and CMOS RF transceiver integrated on the same chip-chip NMR device (3rd generation). On the chip placed directly after the blood sensor chip NMR device can also serve as a single-chip cancer biomarker detection devices.

Korea KAIST University released the solid 15cm square flexible sheet, while monitoring electrocardiogram and thoracic aorta signal can be wearable system (Lecture number 27.3).

The system consists of four layers, including 25 electrode arrays of layers, flexible coil layers, flexible battery level and equipped with new SoC circuit layer, simply paste it into you can monitor patients with thoracic aortic blood volume and speed of change. In 25 electrode array, for best effect, sensor on eight of array-contact is reconfigured, can also be forwarded to the mobile phone monitor information.

Energy regeneration technology, the United States at the Massachusetts Institute of technology (MIT) issued to the human body heat for reuse and convert power circuit techniques (Lecture number 27.1).

Starting, through actions detection circuit, you can use physical vibration energy up to produce 35mV voltage. Starting after the maximum energy to 58 per cent of the efficiency of the output voltage 1.8V. United States Georgia Institute of technology (Georgia Institute of Technology) published using piezoelectric effect of energy regeneration circuit. To 41 per cent of the efficiency of output power 30uW. (Freelance writer: Jacob Yat in island, Panasonic)
