When tooth decay is untreated it continues to progress in size resulting in an infection or abscess and unbearable pain. Oral diseases cause pain, infection, disability and even death. The most common oral disease is tooth decay, which may begin soon after birth with the primary teeth and continue anew in permanent teeth.

At the 1st Arab World Conference on Public Health, hosted by Dubai Health Authority under the umbrella of World Federation of Public Health Associations (WFPHA) from 4th to 6th April 2013 in Dubai, high importance has been attached to this topic.

Prise en charge des entrées de type sink/source pour une réduction des circuits de pont

TOKYO - Lundi 1 Avril 2013 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO : 6502) a annoncé aujourd'hui le lancement de photocoupleurs grande vitesse destinés aux automates programmables (API) qui fonctionnent avec les courants positif et négatif de la LED.

Les API acceptent à l'entrée aussi bien la logique de type « sink » utilisée au Japon que la logique de type « source », utilisée principalement en dehors du Japon. Avec la mondialisation, les circuits de pont sont de plus en plus installés en amont des photocoupleurs qui servent d'interfaces d'entrée pour les API afin d'intégrer les deux types (sink/source) de logique. Les nouveaux photocoupleurs, le « TLP2395 » (à sortie logique tampon) et le « TLP2398 » (à sortie logique inverseur) prennent en charge les deux types (sink/source) de log ... Read more »
