n Medical Laser Optics
A line of ZnSe (zinc selenide) lenses, output couplers, and mirrors that are
optimized at 1.06 µm for medical laser OEMs has been introduced by Laser
Research Optics, Providence, RI. The optics are manufactured to OEM specifications
in ½ and ¾ in. diameter sizes and can be furnished with dual-band and
reflectance coatings up to 95 percent on each side. Optimized at 1.06 µm for
use with Nd:YAG lasers, the optics are available as plano-convex and planeparallel
discs, output couplers, and mirrors. They feature Featuring 40-20
scratch-dig surface finishes (20-10 one face and parallel).

n Alarm and Indicator Platform
Timestrip, Cambridge, UK, has added to its recently announced neo platform
with two new stocked products. The Freeze Alarm is designed for products that are
sensitive to freezing and provides a visible alert if the ambient temperature drops
below 0 °C for 30 minutes; it shows a further alert at 60 minutes. The Room Temp
indicator monitors the range 15-25 °C and alerts at one hour. The electronic indicators
have been specially developed to combine ease of use with a small and light form
factor. All of the indicators are suitable for pack level monitoring with both time and
multiple temperature settings.

n Tubular Solenoids
Magnetic Sensor Systems (MSS), Van Nuys, CA, has released a new
model of its pull type tubular solenoids. The S-20-100X series features
18 different solenoids to select from based on the voltage, duty cycle,
force, and stroke requirement of the user. The coils typically utilize Class
F 23 to 40 AWG windings with Class A insulation for better protection of the
solenoid during longer duty cycles. The solenoids feature a 1 in. diameter × 2 in.
long housing and a 3/4 -16 UNF-2A thread for mounting. The noncaptive plunger or
actuator has a diameter of 0.437 in. with a clevis end for load attachment.

n Borescope Inspection Camera
Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc., Video Sensing Division, Tustin, CA, has
launched a chip-on-tip video borescope camera for inspection applications
in extremely tight spaces. The new SV-2000 provides full-color, highresolution
video or still image capture. Rugged and flexible, the CMOS video
scope is offered in three configurations: 1.6 mm Ø × 1.9 m, 400 × 400 resolution;
1.05 mm Ø × 1.2 m, 200 × 200 resolution; and 0.89 mm Ø × 1.2 m, 400 × 400 resolution. Each
video scope features 120° field of view and an integrated LED light for illumination within the flexible
shaft. They are water resistant (IPX7 rated) for disinfection tasks or other uses in wet environments.

n High-Resolution TFT
Review Display Systems Inc. (RDS), Milwaukee, WI, has introduced a
12.1-in. TFT display from Tianma. The P-series NL12880BC20-32F display
module features WXGA resolution (1280 × 800 pixels) and a wide 16:9
aspect ratio. It delivers excellent optical performance with the implementation
of SFT (Super Fine TFT) technology. The display module exhibits
a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and a high brightness, long-life LED backlight providing a brightness specification
of 1100 cd/m², which delivers display images that are bright, colorful, and concise.

n Antibacterial Implants
SINTX Technologies, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT, has been awarded four new international
patents for antibacterial biomedical implants. Awarded by the countries of Canada,
Australia (two patent awards), and Japan, these patents enhance the company's portfolio
of intellectual property. One bioceramic - silicon nitride - has been shown previously
to exhibit the bacteriostatic benefits sought after in medical implants. The company develops and commercializes
materials, components, and technologies for medical and technical applications.

n Non-Illuminated Switch
A non-illuminated indicator
is available from
Schurter, Santa Rosa, CA.
A colored ring is used instead
of an illuminated
ring, which lowers the
cost of the switch and
eliminates the cost associated
with wiring an external power source to
drive LEDs. The new MSM variant provides
safe operation, excellent haptic feedback, and
highly reliable actuation. The PMMA ring color
provides a modern appearance with up to 7
fashionable color options. The robust metal
housing and actuator are made of high-grade
stainless steel and tout an ingress protection
rating of IP 67 from the front contact area.
The switch is UV resistant with an impact resistance
rating of IK07, making it tolerant of outdoor
exposure and use in harsh environments.
The switch lifetime is rated for 1.5
million operations.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
OPTICALLY
CLEAR MEDICAL
GRADE EPOXY
Master Bond EP30-4Med
is a two-part epoxy system
with a fast setup time that
cures at room temperature, or even more rapidly
with a bit of heat. This low-viscosity system meets the
requirements of ISO 10993-5 testing and is therefore
considered to be non-cytotoxic. http://www.
