Start with the news release Hamamatsu develops super luminescent diode from Hamamatsu Photonics, which we summarised at the time by saying "Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced a series of super luminescent diodes (SLDs) for use in ophthalmology, optical gyroscopes, OCT, fibre-optic and medical applications. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Oscillator achieves ultra-low phase noise from Z-Communications: "Z-Communications has announced an RoHS-compliant VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) in S-band for digital radio and fixed wireless applications that require ultra-low phase noise performance. ".
 
In December 2010, we covered the news from Bear Power Supplies - take a look at AC/DC power converters for medical applications which says: "Bear's compact and rugged BP Series encapsulated AC/DC power converters are available for purchase online, simplifying OEM evaluation for commercial, industrial and medical applications. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Linear Technology, Compact linear regulator with thermal resistance, as well as Ultra-miniaturised wafer-level chip scale packages from Nordic Semiconductor, and Tyco announces JEDEC-based memory module from Tyco Electronics.
