Scientists recently demonstrated the first functional 3D integrated circuits obtained by die-to-die stacking using 5µm Cu through-silicon vias (TSV). The next step is to further develop 3D SIC chips on 200mm and 300mm wafers. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/10/081013125723.htm ScienceDaily Headlines: Computers & Math http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/10/081013125723.htm? Sun, 12 Oct 2008 17:00 GMT Research results indicate that optical coherence tomography, a newly evolving imaging method, may be the best tool available to detect vulnerable plaque in coronary arteries. The findings will be presented at the 20th annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics scientific symposium, sponsored by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-10/crf-vpm101008.php EurekAlert! - Breaking News http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-10/crf-vpm101008.php? Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:00 GMT An online survey for World Arthritis Day, completed by over 3,600 respondents revealed that access to psychological support and self-management courses could help people with arthritis/rheumatism cope more effectively with their condition and achieve better quality of life. Health care professionals, people with rheumatic disease and their carers, who responded to the survey, highlight the importance of integrating psychological support into the standard treatment regime. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-10/rfpr-cfn101008.php EurekAlert! - Breaking News http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-10/rfpr-cfn101008.php? Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:00 GMT Hiring temporary workers and machines for the harvest, sending soil samples to the laboratory for analysis, ordering seed: Farming today involves a great deal of administrative work. A new Internet-based platform will soon make this task easier. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-10/f-sdm101008.php EurekAlert! - Breaking News http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-10/f-sdm101008.php? Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:00 GMT Metal sheets are getting thinner and stronger all the time, and new production processes are called for. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU in Chemnitz are relying on predictive process monitoring to eliminate faults during production as far as possible. They will be presenting the new technique at the joint Fraunhofer stand, G34, in Hall 11 at the Euroblech trade fair in Hanover from Oct. 21-25, 2008. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-10/f-sp101008.php EurekAlert! - Breaking News http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-10/f-sp101008.php?
