Packaging design, recent developments

Data handling. The processing of XAFS data is far from trivial and remains a bottleneck in the attempt to extract useful information from a series of data. Chief among the reasons for this problem has been software availability and good data treatment protocols. In recent years a number of freely available, intuitive software packages have been designed and developed for such purposes these have also been accompanied by detailed... 

The recent developments of the wireless implantable and wearable biosensors for POC applications enable dedicated patient health management. The future trends for POC biosensors outline the need for smaller and flexible integrated systems, new biocompatible materials applicable for different applications, new packaging techniques, energy-efficient wireless systems, improved antenna designs, and efficient wireless power transfer and energy-harvesting techniques. 

More recently, the Southern Gas Association s Gas Machinery Research Council and Pipeline and Compressor Research Council cooperated with Southwest Research Institute to develop a software package that enhances reciprocating compressor operation. Several major American and foreign compressor manufacturers (and some other interested companies) have cooperated with Southwest Research Institute or developed their own proprietary pulsation-reduction design computer programs.
