The San Jose-based company is ISO 9001:2000 certified by BSI Management Systems. Its growth facilitated a move into a modern, 8,000 square-foot facility last year.

The company specializes in design, manufacture and assembly of printed circuit boards, circuit board assemblies, and flex circuit production, as well as prototype and pre-production PCB manufacturing.

EAST LANSING, Mich. — In the current issue of Science, researchers at Michigan State University demonstrate how a new virus evolves, which sheds light on how easy it can be for diseases to gain dangerous mutations. The scientists showed for the first time how the virus called "Lambda" evolved to find a new way to attack host cells, an innovation that took four mutations to accomplish. This virus infects bacteria, in particular the common E. coli bacterium. Lambda isn't dangerous to humans, but this research demonstrated how viruses evolve complex and potentially deadly ...

Grape seed extract kills head and neck cancer cells, leaves healthy cells unharmed

2012-01-30

Nearly 12,000 people will die of head and neck cancer in the United States this year and worldwide cases will exceed half a million. A study published this week in the journal Carcinogenesis shows that in both cell lines and mouse models, grape seed extract (GSE) kills head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells, while leaving healthy cells unharmed. "It's a rather dramatic effect," says Rajesh Agarwal, PhD, investigator at the University of Colorado Cancer Center and professor at the Skaggs School of Pharmaceutical Sciences. It depends in large part, says Agarwal, ...

New Oxy-Green Bed Bug Solution Offers Amazing 100% Success Rate

2012-01-30

Everyone's heard the familiar axiom "If you make a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door." Today, replace mousetrap invention with bed bug solution and they'll no doubt knock down your door. The magnitude of the bed bug epidemic in the U.S. has befuddled the pest control industry to date. Chemical solutions have only a 50% success rate, plus the bugs are becoming pesticide-resistant. Heat treatments don't penetrate wallboards where the bed bugs hide or heat the slab. Dry steam invites mold problems. (Did you ever meet dry water?) Freezing ...

Diagnostic brain tumor test could revolutionize care of patients

2012-01-30

DALLAS – Jan. 26, 2012 – Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have developed what they believe to be the first clinical application of a new imaging technique to diagnose brain tumors. The unique test could preclude the need for surgery in patients whose tumors are located in areas of the brain too dangerous to biopsy. This new magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) technique provides a definitive diagnosis of cancer based on imaging of a protein associated with a mutated gene found in 80 percent of low- and intermediate-grade gliomas. Presence of the mutation ...

Study pinpoints genetic variation that raises a risk linked to bisphosphonates

2012-01-30

New York, NY (January 26, 2012) — Researchers at the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine have identified a genetic variation that raises the risk of developing serious necrotic jaw bone lesions in patients who take bisphosphonates, a common class of osteoclastic inhibitors. The discovery paves the way for a genetic screening test to determine who can safely take these drugs. The study appears in the online version of the journal The Oncologist. Oral bisphosphonates are currently taken by some 3 million women in the United States for the prevention or treatment ...
