A U.S. Granted Patent Reveals Microsoft s Secret Project for VR Gaming with Sophisticated Arm-Worn Multi-Faceted Controllers
When it comes to VR gaming accessories Microsoft promotes Oculus or the HP Reverb headset and controllers. While The Verge reported in March that VR wasn t a focus for the Xbox team, that hasn t stopped one of Microsoft engineering teams from patenting next-gen arm wearing controllers that are far more sophisticated than what s on the market today. Microsoft filed their patent back in March 2020 and it s already been granted in 2021. Whether Microsoft is aiming to advance VR gaming first on PC s and then the Xbox console is unknown at this time.

Helping medical device manufactures navigate the new EU MDR
Trelleborg and other industry experts explain the material-related requirements of the MDR and how to achieve them.
Trelleborg Healthcare & Medical offers device manufacturers that supply products to Europe a free to download webinar about the upcoming Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and how this specification can be met.
The EU MDR takes effect May 26, 2021 and aims to protect patients from risks posed by medical products. For manufacturers in the Americas selling such products globally, compliance with international regulations is complex, with requirements varying significantly depending on the intended use, the type of contact with the patient and its duration.

Twenty-four years ago, physics professor Harold Craighead and then-doctoral student Dustin Carr, Ph.D. ’00, created the world’s smallest guitar using cutting-edge technology in what was then the Cornell Nanofabrication Facility.
They’re at it again at the center – now known as the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility (CNF), in Duffield Hall. A team led by staff photolithographer Ed Camacho has created what is thought to be the world’s smallest rendition of Cornell’s iconic McGraw Tower – complete with its 161 interior steps, two sets of stairs and 21 bells.
