Syntec Optics, the largest independent manufacturer of custom plastic optics in North America, has been granted a US patent for its HRDT(TM) (High Refraction Diamond Turning) technology, in production use since late 2005. Most Syntec HRDT projects have been defense-related. However, HRDT holds promise for other markets, such as datacom, that require asymmetric, low-cost optics with high wave sensitivity and strong heat resistance, and share with defense an imperative to shave development cycles.
Epilog Laser, the leading producer of CO2 and fiber laser engraving/cutting systems, today announced the launch of the industry's first open-architecture galvo laser system, the FiberMark G1.

Today, University Health Network (UHN) became the first institution in the world to have three 320-slice CT scanners, as Toronto Western Hospital's (TWH) scanner began clinical operation. The world's most advanced Computer Tomography technology, the 320-slice CT can cut time-to-treatment by two-thirds for stroke patients, help cancer specialists map tumours for treatment in greater detail than ever before, and allow cardiac disease to be diagnosed with unparalleled confidence.
JDSU(R) today announced that it has released an enhanced version of its most powerful fiber-coupled diode laser solution, called the 6398-L4i series. The new diode laser is the first of its kind to provide original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with a simple and cost effective way to protect diodes from destructive power feedback during fiber laser operation.
Imaging has gained attention in many areas of medicine but its relevance and importance in clinical cardiology cannot be underestimated. While chest X-ray and heart radioscopy have been used for many decades, it is the maturation of echocardiography which has propelled non-invasive imaging to the foreground of our diagnostic arsenal in cardiology.
Researchers at The University of Nottingham have developed a unique technology that will allow scientists to look at microscopic activity within the body’s chemical messenger system for the very first time, live as it happens.
