MINNETONKA, MN, December 20, 2011 (Press-News.org) Pentair Technical Products, Schroff is now offering the Calmark/Birtcher line of conduction-cooled keying system ideal for applications that require a more robust solution than conventional front-panel assemblies, such as military and ruggedized systems. The coding system ensures that PCBs are inserted into the correct slots, allowing reliable operation--even in demanding environments.
Conventional keying systems solve IEEE 1101.10 specifications by providing a method for keying slots using programming keys inserted into the front panel assembly and card guide. However, many military and ruggedized systems do not use this front panel system due to space constraints. The Schroff conduction-cooled keying system solves these applications while complying with VITA 1.6. The mating halves of the Schroff coding keys are attached to the rear edge of the board and backplane of the system, allowing for a more efficient use of space.
"In today's world, space is a premium in any type of electronic application," said Anthony Robinson, Category Manager. "With demand, particularly in military applications, for devices that are small yet powerful, the Schroff conduction-cooled keying system used in conjunction with our Wedge-loks offers a solution that solves both installation and heat dissipation issues caused by limited available space."
The coding keys are fully compliant with the VITA 1.6 standard, which defines a keying system for VME64x boards and backplanes in an IEEE 1101.2 conduction-cooled environment. In addition, the devices can be used successfully in IEEE 1101.10 non-conduction-cooled applications where there is no front panel.
Offered in six different configurations per coding bracket set, the coding keys offer the versatility needed to solve a broad variety of application requirements. A total of 36 configurations are available in a 6U conduction cooled application, and up to 1,296 keying combinations in a 6U non-conduction cooled application. Coding keys feature a choice of gold or clear chemical film finish and can be specified with metric or imperial threads. The coding keys are supplied individually or in kits containing two mating pairs, with mounting screws and washers included.

OAI: Expansion of Usage-Based Auto Insurance Shows Value of Driver Data
2011-12-20
The news that The Hartford is joining the ranks of auto insurers offering policyholders a shot at discounts if they're willing to outfit their vehicles with devices that track mileage and driving habits shows that collecting more precise driving data can pay off for both sides, according to Online Auto Insurance (OAI).
The trend is good news for coverage providers who no longer need to rely on policyholder "guesstimates," instead getting info relayed directly from the vehicle. And it can be good news for consumers looking for a break on their no down payment ...

Annals of Internal Medicine tip sheet for Dec. 20, 2011
2011-12-20
1. Surveys Show Doctors and Patients at Odds Over Sharing Medical Information
Once reserved for paper charts, doctors' notes are evolving into the electronic medical record. While electronic medical records hold the potential for greater transparency, improved efficiency, and decreased costs, some worry that sharing doctors' notes electronically could lead to greater patient confusion and more work for the physician. Two articles being published in the December 20 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine use survey data to shed light on both sides of the issue.
In the ...
Doctors are cautious, patients enthusiastic about sharing medical notes
2011-12-20
BOSTON – Patients are overwhelmingly interested in exploring the notes doctors write about them after an office visit, but doctors worry about the impact of such transparency on their patients and on their own workflow, a Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) study suggests.
In a study published in the Dec. 20 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine, patient and doctor attitudes were surveyed extensively prior to the launch of the OpenNotes trial in which patients at BIDMC, Geisinger Health System of Danville, PA, and Harborview Medical Center in Seattle were ...
Middle-age blood pressure changes affect lifetime heart disease, stroke risk
2011-12-20
An increase or decrease in your blood pressure during middle age can significantly impact your lifetime risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), according to research in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.
Researchers found people who maintained or reduced their blood pressure to normal levels by age 55 had the lowest lifetime risk for CVD (between 22 percent to 41 percent risk). In contrast, those who had already developed high blood pressure by age 55 had a higher lifetime risk (between 42 percent to 69 percent risk).
Using data from 61,585 participants ...
Snipping key nerves may help life threatening heart rhythms
2011-12-20
What do sweaty palms and abnormal heart rhythms have in common? Both can be initiated by the nervous system during adrenaline-driven "flight or fight" stress reaction when the body senses danger.
Governed by the sympathetic nervous system, an abnormal "flight or fight" stress response which causes excessive sweaty palms (called hyperhidrosis) may also contribute to problems like dangerous irregular heart rhythms from the lower chambers of the heart, called ventricular arrhythmias.
UCLA cardiologists have found that surgery to snip nerves related to the sympathetic ...

High bodily levels of nickel and selenium may lower pancreatic cancer risk
2011-12-20
High bodily levels of the trace elements nickel and selenium may lower the risk of developing the most common type of pancreatic cancer, finds research published online in Gut.
Similarly, high levels of lead, arsenic, and cadmium could boost the likelihood of developing the disease, the study shows.
The researchers assessed 12 trace element levels in the toenails of 118 patients with exocrine pancreatic cancer—the most common form of the disease—and just under 400 hospital patients without cancer.
Nails, and particularly toenails, are considered reliable indicators ...
Reproductive disorder linked to increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease
2011-12-20
Women with endometriosis are up to twice as likely to develop inflammatory bowel disease as those without this reproductive disorder, suggests a large study published online in Gut.
And the effect can last for up to 20 years after their diagnosis of endometriosis—a condition in which cells from the womb lining implant in other areas of the body.
Endometriosis is relatively common, and thought to affect as many as one in 10 women during their child bearing years.
The researchers tracked the long term health of more than 37,000 Danish women who had been admitted to ...
