Wearable smart veins locator could help nurses see below the skin

by Larra Morris

Getting a needle into a patient’s vein can sometimes be a complicated process, especially if the veins aren’t visible. Vein-spotting spectacles that see through a patient’s skin could help avoid the damage caused by repeated needle pricks, and that’s exactly what researchers at the University Teknologi Petronas (UTP), Malaysia, are developing. Their Smart Veins Locator is a wearable head-mounted display that allows nurses to see the patient’s veins in real-time, by overlaying a map of their veins on top of their skin.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
