Designer's Notes: I love the look of a grown-up garment scaled down for a baby or child. For this pattern, I wanted to create a baby version of a 1960's era swing coat – something Audrey Hepburn (hence the pattern name) or Grace Kelly might have worn. This project is worked in one piece, from the neck down. Sleeves begin with raglan shaping and are finished by working in the round. For the pleated seam across the back, stitches are placed on scrap yarn and new stitches are provisionally cast on in the next row. At the end, the three-needle bind-off closes this opening and creates the pleats.

This wrap was inspired by "pinwheel" techniques from designers Lily Chin and Barbara Walker. It's an easy way to start using lace yarn - knit a series of wedges, joined by a "pick-up" row. The lace border is worked on the 17 stitches at the edge, and the rest of the stitches are worked in garter stitch.
The shawl can be worked on straight needles as there will never be more than 118 stitches on at a time, but circulars may be more comfortable. Although the pattern stipulates 1750 yds (2 balls), you will most likely only use about half of the second ball, bringing the actual yardage to...

Knit in a self-patterning yarn in circular garter stitch, the shawl is made up pentagons and squares that are joined as you knit. The pentagons form the right and left hand sides; the squares fill the interior of the shawl. The pentagons naturally create a ruffled edge. Half squares are used to shape the top edge of the shawl so that it will lie nicely on the shoulders. There is a diagram showing the order and placement of the modular units. The side edges are self-finished. The top edge can be finished either with a picot cast-off or with one row of single crochet.

If you want to challenge you knitting skills by creating a sweater in an unconventional way, then this comfy weekend pullover is for you. Designed to fit many sizes without any alterations to the pattern, the sweater is knit in two main pieces: the front body/sleeve and the back body/sleeve. The only difference between the two is the curve of the hemline, with the front being shorter than the back. The unique part of the sweater is that the hemline and the neckline shaping are done with German Short Rows. There are special edge stitches on the entire garment, so the closing of the seams is actually worked from the outside, assuring that the seams become part of the stitch pattern. We are sure you will find this sweater as fun to knit as it is to wear!

BASIC SCIENCE SEMINARS IN NEUROLOGY SECTION EDITOR: HASSAN M. FATHALLAH-SHAYKH, MD. The Application of Implant Technology for Cybernetic Systems
- Kimberly Bryan

1 BASIC SCIENCE SEMINARS IN NEUROLOGY SECTION EDITOR: HASSAN M. FATHALLAH-SHAYKH, MD The Application of Implant Technology for Cybernetic Systems Kevin Warwick, DSc; Mark Gasson, BSc; Benjamin Hutt, PhD; Iain Goodhew, BEng; Peter Kyberd, PhD; Brian Andrews, PhD; Peter Teddy, FRCS; Amjad Shad, FRCS(SN) Objective: To assess the usefulness, compatibility, and long-term operability of a microelectrode array into the median nerve of the left arm of a healthy volunteer, including perception of feedback stimulation and operation of an instrumented prosthetic hand. Setting: The study was carried out from March 14 through June 18, 2002, in England and the United States. Results: The blindfolded subject received feedback information, obtained from force and slip sensors on the prosthetic hand, and subsequently used the implanted device to control the hand by applying an appropriate force to grip an unseen object. Operability was also demonstrated remotely via the Internet, with the subject in New York, NY, and the prosthetic hand in Reading, England. Finally, the subject was able to control an electric wheelchair, via decoded signals from the implant device, to select the direction of travel by opening and closing his hand. The implantation did not result in infection or any perceivable loss of hand sensation or motion control. The implant was finally extracted because of mechanical fatigue of the percutaneous connection. Further testing after extraction has not indicated any measurable long-term defects in the subject. Conclusions: This implant may allow recipients to have abilities they would otherwise not possess. The response to stimulation improved considerably during the trial, suggesting that the subject learned to process the incoming information more effectively. Arch Neurol. 2003;60: From the Department of Cybernetics, University of Reading, Reading, England (Drs Warwick, Hutt, Kyberd, and Andrews and Messrs Gasson and Goodhew); and the Department of Neurosurgery and Neurosciences, The Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford, England (Drs Teddy and Shad). INTRANEURAL INTERFACES allow for the selective recording and stimulation of nerve fibers. 1,2 Microelectrode arrays contain multiple electrodes that become distributed within the fascicle of the mixed peripheral nerve. In this way, direct access can be gained to axons from various sense organs such as cutaneous receptors, muscle spindles, or motor neurons to specific motor units. The device therefore enables a multichannel nerve interface. 3 In this report, we investigate the use of a microelectrode array to form a bidirectional link between the human nervous system and a computer. Ethical approval for the research to proceed with one of us (K.W.) as the subject was obtained from the Ethics and Research Committee at the University of Reading, Reading, England. Approval for the experimental neurosurgery was granted by the Oxfordshire National Health Trust Board, which oversees the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford, England. METHODS NEURAL IMPLANT EXPERIMENT On March 14, 2002, at the Radcliffe Infirmary, an array of 100 individual needle electrodes (Figure 1) was surgically implanted into the median nerve fibers of the left arm of a healthy, right-hand-dominant man aged 48 years. The array measured 4 4 mm, with each of the electrodes being of uniform length (1.5 mm). An incision was made at the wrist and extended for 4 cm centrally over the median nerve; a second 2-cm centrally located incision was made 16 cm proximal to the wrist. An electrode passer was inserted under the skin between the 2 incisions by means of a tunneling procedure; the array was then introduced to the more proximal incision and pushed distally along the passer (Figure 2), such that the wire bundle connected to the array ran within it. By removing the passer, the array remained adjacent to the exposed median nerve at the point of the first incision, with the wire bundle running subcutaneously and exiting at the second incision, where it linked to an electrical connector pad that remained external to the arm. 1369
2 Figure 1. The 100-electrode array (shown on an English 5-pence coin for scale). Figure 2. An electrode passer is used to position the array in the arm. The median nerve fascicle selected was estimated to be approximately 4 mm in diameter; however, an incision into the perineurium was necessary to ensure adequate electrode penetration depth. After dissection of the perineurium under a microscope, the array was pneumatically inserted into the radial side of the median nerve, allowing the array to sit adjacent to the nerve fibers with the electrodes penetrating into the fascicle. With the use of the neural interface, it was possible to transmit neural signals directly to a computer from the peripheral nervous system by means of a hard-wire connection from the connector pad or through a digital radio transmitter attached to the pad. In this way, a range of cybernetic devices could be controlled by the neural activity when appropriately translated by the computer. In addition, signals sent from the computer to the implant could trigger stimulation of the nerve fibers, thereby enabling the closure of a feedback loop. Neural signals associated with muscle contraction could be generated by finger movements and detected by the array. By monitoring and subsequently processing these analog signals in conjunction with a proportional in-time controller, the movement could be used to control devices through the computer via a bidirectional digital radio link. 4 The microelectrodes allow the action potentials from small subpopulations of axons that surround each of the sensitive tips to be detected. With a typical action potential duration of 1 millisecond, it is reasonable to assume that the small subpopulation extracellular neural activity of interest occurs below a frequency of 3.5 khz. Ideally, only the band of frequencies that contain signals of interest (as specified by a lower f l and higher f h cutoff frequency) would be linearly amplified, with any frequency outside this range completely suppressed. However, practical limitations mean that a completely sharp cutoff is not realizable. Instead, filter design dictates that the further out of the band of interest a frequency is, so the more it is attenuated. The sharpness of cutoff is then given by the order of the filter, with higher order filters realizing a sharper cutoff at the expense of increased complexity. As a result, the hardware interface for the array implant amplified each channel using a fifthorder Butterworth filter stage, where the gain of the filter was 5000, the lower cutoff frequency (f l ) was 250 Hz, and the higher cutoff frequency (f h ) was 7.5 KHz. This minimizes the distortion of the extracellular action potentials while aggressively rejecting extraneous noise. This is then digitized to 10-bit resolution by means of an onboard microcontroller and made available to the controller and radio link. A constant current stimulator was implemented to stimulate the same subpopulations of axons with chargebalanced, biphasic rectangular pulses with an interphase delay of 100 microseconds and typical pulse duration of 200 microseconds. It was therefore possible to create artificial sensation, giving the subject feedback from the connected systems. Stimulation was attempted for the first time 6 weeks after implantation by using currents up to 100 µa. During experimentation, we found that currents below 80 µa had little perceivable effect, although at that magnitude the electrodes showed good electrical characteristics, implying that current was being passed in the locality of the nerve fibers. During initial tests at 80 µa, with the subject blindfolded and the stimulation applied randomly, the subject achieved a mean correct identification of stimulation of 70%. By the end of the study, a 95% perception rate was being achieved. Electromyographic (EMG) recordings suggest that the stimulation resulted in muscular excitation of the first lumbrical muscle and that the associated sensation of this movement was perceived by the subject. ARTICULATED HAND The type of articulated hand prosthesis used in this study 5 has multiple degrees of freedom and can be controlled 1370

On May 20, 2002, with the subject in a laboratory at Columbia University, New York, NY, a link was established between the implanted device in New York and the SNAVE hand at Reading University. The processed signals from the neural implant were transmitted across the Internet to control the articulated hand at its remote location, and stimulation feedback information was sent back via the Internet to the implant. Taking into account the slight transmission delay across the Internet, the subject was again able to operate the articulated hand in a controlled manner. in a hierarchical manner, with the aim to mimic the control mechanisms apparent in a human hand. This SNAVE (named after Mervyn Evans, its original designer) prosthesis 5 (Figure 3) contains force and slip sensors in the fingers and palm and uses a microcontroller to coordinate the operation. Joint flexion sensors allow for adaptation of the grip shape and for the force applied to the object to be modified. The microcontroller can then ensure that the lightest possible touch is applied. If the microcontroller detects that the object is slipping, the tension can be automatically adjusted to prevent further slippage. As a result of this, the hand can be controlled by means of voluntary opening and involuntary closing, whereby the user need only tell the hand to relax for it to grasp the object in the most appropriate manner. At present, this prosthesis is undergoing clinical assessment in Oxfordshire. In this experiment, processed signal data from the neural implant was used with the onboard intelligence of the SNAVE hand to control the hand-grasp function. This was achieved in a manner more closely associated with the operation of a human hand (compared with articulated hands controlled by means of surface EMG signals). Subsequently, the touch force control in the prosthesis was disabled, and the control was changed to voluntary opening and voluntary closing, so the subject had to control the grip force himself. The sensory data from the hand s fingertips were fed back to the operator, and the grip force and hand flexion were recorded. The subject was asked to open and close the hand by applying the lightest touch to the object with and without the implant s force feedback and with and without visual feedback. As more force was applied to an object, the amount of neural stimulation was increased. After 6 hours of learning to operate the hand in this fashion, the subject was able to grip an unseen object while minimizing required force. In 12 days, the subject s ability to judge the closing force and stop in a timely manner improved more when he had force and visual feedback than when he had either alone. TELECONTROL WHEELCHAIR CONTROL In the applications discussed herein, data collected via the neural implant were directly used for control purposes, thereby removing the need for any other external control devices. To control an electric wheelchair, a sequential-state machine was implemented, with a command signal decoded in real time from the neural signals being used to halt the cycle at the intended action. In this way, the overall control of the wheelchair was made to be as simple as possible. Initial experiments involved selective processing of the signals obtained from several of the electrodes on the array over time to produce the discrete direction control outputs. With a small amount of learning time, the subject was able to control the direction and velocity of a fully autonomous mobile robot platform. Onboard sensors allowed the robot to override commands from the user to safely navigate local objects in the environment. The technique was further implemented on an electric wheelchair (Figure 4), with the command signal from the implant controller received by the wheelchair s driver mechanism via a short-range digital radio link. The command signal, essentially obtained by the user closing his hand, 1371
4 Figure 5. Sequential-state machine mounted on the wheelchair. halted the sequential state machine at the desired output. The action of the sequential state machine was indicated by a number of light-emitting diodes positioned in front of the user on the right arm of the chair (Figure 5). These actions corresponded to the wheelchair motions of forward, backward, left, and right. While signal activity was maintained, the selected motion was also maintained, thereby achieving realtime control of the electric wheelchair. In trials, the subject was able to navigate around a reasonably cluttered outdoor environment with less than 1 hour of training, achieving greater than 90% accuracy in desired control of motion. RESULTS One of the aims of the study was to examine the possibilities of using an implantofthistypeonamuchwider scale, particularly to help those with an acquired injury (eg, spinal lesion) or a congenital abnormality (eg, some forms of blindness). The study has therefore been used to provide information to assess the longterm endurance of the technology. Before the study, one of the main concerns was the possibility of infection occurring. For this reason, the tissue around the wounds, especially at the percutaneous site, was monitored closely for efflorescence. To reduce the probability of infection, only 20 of the 100 electrodes on the implant array were connected, thus reducing the diameter of the wire bundle exiting the arm. No indication of infection was observed during the study period. A further concern was the possibility of implant rejection by the body. The implant was finally removed on June 18, 2002, 96 days after implantation. At the time of extraction, no signs of rejection were observed; indeed fibrous scar tissue had grown around the implant site, holding it in position. The implant array did not appear to have lifted or tilted fromthenervetrunkinthattime, with the electrodes still embedded. It is well documented that abnormal healing after even minimal trauma to a major mixed peripheral nerve (such as the median nerve) can result in conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome type II (formerly known as causalgia, a type of reflex sympathetic dystrophy). It is theorized that sympathetic nerve fibers form connections with the injured peripheral nerve, which can then cause aberrant sensory stimulation. 6 For this reason, the subject performed the Southampton Hand Assessment Procedure 7 before, during, and after the implantation, and the subject s ability to perform 2-point discrimination was regularly assessed for signs of neuropathy. No perceivable loss of hand sensation or motion control was experienced by the subject, and regular testing after extraction has not indicated any measurable long-term defects other than minor scarring. Perhaps one of the most important issues in the endurance study was the robustness of the array. After implantation, all 20 active electrodes and 2 reference wires were fully functional, and distinct neural and EMG signals could be measured on each channel after appropriate muscular movement. During the study, some of the electrodes became high impedance (implying discontinuity) and thus were no longer functional. By the end of the 96-day study, only 3 electrodes remained functional, one of which was used as a reference because of the failure of both implanted reference wires by this stage. Postextraction examination of the silicon electrodes showed them to be intact, and the cause of failure instead was mechanical fatigue of the connection wires at the point of exit from the arm. The gradual decline in functional channels was one of the main reasons the implant was extracted at this time. COMMENT The use of implant technology for the purpose of directly measuring neurological signals and of stimulating nerve fibers offers opportunities for the treatment of neurological problems and the amelioration of physical or neurological impairment. In this report, we describe an application study on a healthy individual. The wheelchair study demonstrated how individuals with a restricting paralysis could, with this type of implant, control their movement in the real world. It was also possible to restore a small measure of sensation by means of the implant, using signals from tactile transducers on a prosthetic hand. This technique could in practice be used with an artificial limb to stimulate sensory axons that remain in the remnant stump of an amputee. It is recognized that this study could be criticized on the basis of investigator bias, because the subject was also one of the researchers. However, many of the results such as biocompatibility, reliability, neuropathy, and infection stand independent of subject bias. In addition, independent observers were present to witness different stages of the experiment according to their individual interest. Video documentary footage was also obtained at each stage for later independent analysis. One negative aspect of the trial was the gradual degradation of the implant wire bundle. However, the next development phase is toward a long-term fully implanted solution designed for longevity by including all electronics and power supply, which will circumvent these percutaneous issues. A further issue is that of the stimulation currents being nearly an order of magnitude larger than expected. This, together with low-amplitude neural recordings, suggests that the electrode filaments may have remained or become slightly superficial to the fascicle. Since the pneumatic insertion technique has been proved in previous animal studies 3 to adequately drive the electrodes through the perineurium, a method of secur- 1372
5 ing the array firmly in position, such as medical adhesion, may be adopted in subsequent implantations. This trial has demonstrated how such an implant has the potential to be beneficial to recipients and allow them to have abilities they would otherwise not possess. 8 The response to stimulation improved considerably during the trial, suggesting that the subject learned to process the incoming information more effectively and adapted to exploit the input signals.

CANADA FX DEBT-C$ firmer on gains in equities, some commodities
* Firms to C$1.0267 vs US$, or 97.40 U.S. cents * Rises with North American equities, some commodities * Bond prices weaken By Allison Martell TORONTO, June 12 (Reuters) - Canada's dollar firmed against its U.S. counterpart on Tuesday, helped by gains in North American equity markets and some commodity prices, including U.S. crude oil and gold. Both Canadian and U.S. stock indexes closed stronger, paring much of the heavy losses seen on Monday, when investors worried about the effectiveness of Europe's plan to bail out Spanish banks. The Canadian dollar also weakened on Monday. "Part of it may have been a bit of an over reaction yesterday," said Mark Chandler, head of Canadian fixed income and currency strategy at RBC Capital Markets. "People were a little frustrated in the lack of details on the Spanish banking package, but when everything is said and done, it's obviously better that we get some sort of commitment." A weekend deal by the 17-nation euro zone to lend Madrid up to 100 billion euros ($125 billion) for its bank rescue fund, more than an initial audit suggests it is likely to need, was aimed at reassuring markets. But investors remained wary about the broader euro zone debt crisis. Chandler said the bounce in North American equity markets and a modest rise in the price of some commodities also supported the resource-linked currency. U.S. crude and gold prices both rose. [. T O] The Canadian dollar closed at C$1.0267, or 97.40 U.S. cents, compared with Monday's close at C$1.0312, or 96.97 U.S. cents. EUROPE FEARS LINGER With Tuesday's gains, the currency was little changed from Friday's close at C$1.0270, or 97.37 U.S. cents. Sherif Gabriel, senior corporate trader at Western Union Business Solutions, said he did not expect the dollar to strengthen past C$1.02. He saw it weakening back above C$1.03 in the next few days. "What everybody's sitting on the sidelines waiting for here is June 17th, for the Greek vote," said Gabriel. "It's a very important moment for us to determine what's going to be happening with the euro." Concerns that the Greek election would force a disorderly exit from the euro zone were rekindled by a report that EU officials were considering ways to manage the fallout. "Risk currencies are trading marginally better against their safe haven counterparts, but I think that doesn't necessarily speak to a larger trend. I think it's really just a consolidation move," said Greg Moore, foreign exchange strategist at TD Securities. Canadian bond markets were mostly lower across the curve. Canada's two-year bond fell 7 Canadian cents to yield 1.029 percent, while the benchmark 10-year bond dropped 48 cents to yield 1.811 percent.

text: PITTSBURGH, Nov. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cranberry Township-based MSA (NYSE: MSA), the global leader in the development, manufacture and supply of safety equipment, announced today that it is partnering with the American Heart Association (AHA) and the Butler ( Pennsylvania) Health System to provide the new parents at Butler Memorial Hospital (BMH) with "learning kits" that make infant CPR training simple. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121128/NE20618 ) The AHA's Infant CPR Anytime® Kit was developed to ensure new and expecting parents are prepared should they ever need to perform infant CPR or provide infant choking relief. The kit is an easy-to-use personal learning program that includes a bilingual, educational DVD and an infant mannequin to help parents properly learn the steps for administering life-saving procedures. The kit can also be shared with anyone responsible for the care and safety of an infant, in either the comfort of home or in a large community setting. "The safety of people of all ages is important to us at MSA, and we are proud to provide new parents with this valuable resource," said William M. Lambert, MSA President and CEO. "While we hope parents never have to use the skills explained in the kit, our goal is to give them the peace of mind and confidence they need to safely welcome their newborns home," he said. "Anyone can learn CPR – and everyone should! Unfortunately, 70 percent of Americans may feel helpless during a cardiac emergency because they either do not know how to administer CPR or their training has significantly lapsed," said Barb Roth, American Heart Association Butler County Division Director. "We applaud MSA for taking the lead in helping new parents and families learn this important lifesaving skill." In addition to providing 100 infant CPR training kits to BMH, MSA is also a sponsor of the AHA's Beaver/Butler Counties Heart Ball. This annual event, for which Mr. Lambert is a co-chair, will be held on Saturday, February 16, 2013 at the Pittsburgh Marriott North in Cranberry Township, Pa. "MSA has been a long-time supporter of the AHA, and we are once again pleased to be associated with the Heart Ball," Mr. Lambert said. "It promises to be a fun-filled evening highlighted by a 'Dancing with the Stars-like' competition among community members and medical professionals. But most importantly, the event does a fantastic job in helping raise awareness of cardiovascular disease and stroke prevention."

The Sadly Patriotic 'Taps' Played Every Evening In One Neighborhood
For two years now – at the same time every single evening, every single week – an otherwise typical neighborhood has been treated to something very special and transformed into something simultaneously somber and triumphant. For about two minutes each and every evening, everyone briefly forgets about the complications and complexities of their day to day lives and stops to listen to a song float simply and sweetly through the air. It's a song everyone in the neighborhood knows – all the better for its repetition – and one tucked in the mind of every proud American.
For these past two years, one man has committed himself every night, rain or shine, to climb out on his balcony and play those simple and stately twenty-four notes we call 'Taps'. This song, most known for its part in military funerals in the United States (it has been a military funeral standard since 1891), seems to stop time as neighbors distance themselves from the daily grind and reflect.
Taps has a special place in the hearts and minds of Americans. A familiar tune since childhood, it seems resound within each of us because of its presence in mass media, in television and movies, and (sadly) in our own personal experiences when those who have served our country pass on. The song stirs in us a sense of national pride springing from the good works done by the bravest Americans around the world while reminding us of the ultimate sacrifice paid by those same soldiers who seek to bring truth, justice, and liberty to the globe. The simplicity and beauty of the song are only enhanced by the sentimentality we attach to it.
The musician wants to remind everyone both of the beauty still in the world, as well as the danger and tragedy members of our armed forces come face to face with each and every day. War does not take a day off, and so neither does our resolute trumpeter. Whether tired or sick or overwhelmed, he refuses to forget the sacrifices made by our uniformed men and women and so he plays on to remind us all.
A true patriot, our trumpeter will not forget either the great aspirations of our country nor the great sacrifices made in order to see our designs through to their end. While the rest of the country is content to wear their red white and blue regalia when Independence Day rolls around, this lone musician has committed himself to remembering both the pride and the responsibility of what it means to be an American and to owe your freedom to countless dead American heroes. This musician may not be a hero himself, but he stands as a shining example in one American neighborhood about how we ought to conduct ourselves given the sacrifice of so many heroes before us.

About EPCOS
EPCOS, a TDK Group Company, develops, manufactures and markets electronic components and systems, focusing on fast-growing leading-edge technology markets, which include information and communications technology, automotive electronics, industrial electronics and consumer electronics. Thanks to the 21,000 employees at some 20 design and production locations and an extensive sales network outside of Europe, the company is well-equipped – beyond the provision of standard products – to work closely with customers and create the right solutions for them. Since February 2015, the two existing European sales channels for EPCOS and TDK products have been merged under the one roof of TDK Europe.
In fiscal 2016 (ending in March) EPCOS posted sales of about EUR 2.5 billion.
EPCOS Headquarters
A TDK Group Company
St.-Martin-Strasse 53
81669 Munich
The diverse range of EPCOS portfolio includes capacitors, ferrites and inductors, piezo and protection devices, as well as sensors.
Electronic components and systems are found today in almost every item of electrical equipment, where they are essential for guaranteeing perfect functionality. In smartphones, notebooks and televisions they perform key functions, as they also do in cars and trucks, washing machines and LED lamps, in industrial machine tools and in electric railways, wind farms and photovoltaic plants. In all these applications EPCOS solutions ensure the supply of power, protect electronic circuits and ensure their fault-free operation.
Capacitors are used in all fields of electrotechnology and electronics. They store electric charges and they filter currents and voltages. The portfolio includes aluminum electrolytic and film capacitors, whose main applications are in power supplies and converters. Power capacitors ensure a stable supply of power in electric trains, for example. In addition, power capacitors are the key components for the transmission of high-voltage direct current, which enables energy to be transmitted over long distances with minimal loss.
Inductors fulfill two basic functions of electrotechnology, often simultaneously: the filtering of currents and the storage of electromagnetic energy. Ferrites, in turn, constitute the core of inductances and they bundle electromagnetic fields for the transmission of electrical signals and power. Inductors are used, among other things, in switch-mode power supplies for information and communications applications, as well as in automotive, industrial and entertainment electronics. EPCOS also manufactures components that ensure electromagnetic compatibility and, consequently, the fault-free operation of all types of electronic equipment.
Piezo and protection devices protect electronic circuits against voltage spikes and current surges. The portfolio includes surge arresters and switching spark gaps, thermistors, varistors and a comprehensive array of multilayer components that include piezo-actuators, as well as CeraDiodes® and CeraLink™ capacitors. These components are essential, above all, in vehicles, industrial equipment and household appliances, but also in power engineering, and smartphones, tablets and wearables.
Sensors and sensor systems include temperature sensors, which, for example, are used in vehicles in systems for reducing emissions. Such components are also used in air-conditioning systems, refrigerators and industrial plants. To these must be added the pressure sensors and transmitters that are required primarily for the monitoring and diagnosis of pneumatic and hydraulic systems and for the control of valve and filter systems. One further field of application is medical technology, such as the machines for measuring blood pressure or for artificial respiration.

French Laundry Soon To Be Frozen Food Brand Name: C'est Bon
The French Laundry in Yountville, California (Napa Valley to the rest of us) is arguably the best restaurant in the United States, and what a catchy name.
Chef Thomas Keller has become a brand name unto himself... the only restaurateur who has a three star Michelin rating for two restaurants.
He even lent his name (and expertise) to the new Disney film "Ratatouille." Now, according to Bloomberg, "He wants to open an inn, butcher shop and burger joint. His frozen-food line should soon hit retail shelves."
Is this the beginning of the end? When chefs spread their name too thin, it usually means they are cashing in and on the way out. Or, as Michael Bauer, executive food and wine editor at the San Francisco Chronicle, puts it, "Once you get into frozen food and pizzas, your fine dining brand gets a little fuzzed out."
Well, the French Laundry name is currently being used by other restaurants not affiliated with Keller. And already it seems that his name draws people to his affiliated eateries, such as Ad Hoc.
My feeling is that Keller's brand name and that of and the French Laundry name will continue to go forth and multiply so long as that flagship restaurant in Yountville keeps getting rave reviews. One massively popular restaurant and cookbook can make a brand name out of a chef.
I frankly expect this kind of success to become the template for other food brand names. Seems to me that the name Nobu has driven incredible extension using the brand name. Why not the name of America's greatest chef?
