First Heart Patients Diagnosed Using Ultrathin Fiber Optic Sensor Tech
Medical personnel have used a fiber optics sensors-based diagnostic technology to detect the causes of heart disease for the first time in patients. The device, developed by University College London, is called iKOr. It uses an ultrathin microcatheter integrated with fiber optic sensors to enable doctors to check both blood pressure and blood flow around the heart and look for signs of narrowing and thickening of the arteries — common signs of disease.

Novel Photodiode Cuts Excess Noise, Offers High Detection Efficiency
Researchers at the University of Sheffield designed and developed an avalanche photodiode (APD) with significant potential for low photon detection. The highly sensitive gallium arsenide antimonide/aluminum gallium arsenide antimonide separate absorption and multiplication avalanche photodiode, which the researchers believe signifies a milestone in the development of infrared APDs, demonstrates very little added noise to interfere with signal recognition.

Single-Operation Method Analyzes Permeation Rates Simultaneously
Researchers at Fraunhofer IWS have developed a measuring technique for reliably determining the permeation rate of films. The method, which the researchers developed as part of the SimPerm project, looks at water vapor and oxygen permeation rates simultaneously — reportedly for the first time, the researchers said.
