The exciting new oven concept utilizes industry-first cooking technology to help reduce cooking time

Show attendees will have the chance to win a Sharp product by participating in a real vs. cake guessing game

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sharp Home Electronics Company of America (SHCA) is heating up the 2024 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas with a preview of its forthcoming appliance innovation: the High-Speed Oven. This built-in oven can help revolutionize home cooking, and help prepare special occasion dishes quickly.

Designed to cater to modern lifestyle demands, the Sharp High-Speed Oven boasts unparalleled cooking technology that may reduce cooking time to as little as one-third of that of a conventional home oven. The industry-first Gold Carbon Heater is meticulously engineered to recreate charcoal grill flavor. Flavors that were once confined to an outdoor grill can now be achieved year-round from the comfort of the kitchen. Beyond the Gold Carbon Heater, the oven’s intelligent heating offerings also includes True European Convection and Microwave with Inverter Control heating systems.

“We are thrilled to introduce the High-Speed Oven, as we believe it will be a game-changer in the world of home cooking,” said Jim Sanduski, President, SHCA. “With its speed and versatility, this oven empowers home cooks to unleash their creativity in the kitchen, making every meal an extraordinary culinary experience.”

And to sweeten its presence at this year’s show, SHCA has partnered with cake artist April Julian to replicate a Sharp product with cake. Show attendees are encouraged to drop by the booth to partake in a guessing game centered around a deceptive cake masterpiece created by April, who’s mind-bending bakes landed her on Netflix’s hit show “Is It Cake?” April’s bake will be pitted against an actual Sharp Countertop Microwave Oven. Those who guess which is cake correctly will be entered for a chance to win one of the following Sharp Plasmacluster® Ion Air Purifiers: KCP70UW Smart Air Purifier with Humidifier, FXJ80UW Smart Air Purifier for XL-Room, FPK50UW Air Purifier for Medium Rooms, or a 0.7 cu. ft., 700 Watt, Microwave Oven in Black by Sharp.  

April will debut her cake creation at the show’s opening on February 27 at 10:00 am PST, and cut into the cake to reveal the results on February 28 at 2:00 pm PST. For those unable to attend in person, the challenge will extend to social media – tune into April’s Instagram (@apriljuliancakes) on February 27 to play along virtually.

“We are beyond excited to see how April will bring our Sharp Countertop Microwave Oven to life through cake,” says Peter Weedfald, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, SHCA. “The cake guessing game will certainly add an element of fun and excitement to our KBIS space.”

To view the High-Speed Oven and April’s sensational bake, visit Booth #W1231 at KBIS from February 27-29, 2024.

Molex Unveils Versatile VaporConnect Optical Feedthrough Modules Enabling Thermal Management Innovations to Address AI-Driven Data Center Growth

Published

on

By

First-to-market, cassette-based solution for two-phase immersion cooling slashes time and cost associated with installing and upgrading hyperscale data centersPlug-and-play deployment easily connects immersion-tank optical transceivers to cabling infrastructure via fully upgradeable sealed modulesFuture-proof capabilities include flexibility to change connector types and shuffle circuit configurations without impacting mechanical interfaces or tank design

LISLE, Ill., Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Molex, a global electronics leader and connectivity innovator, today introduced a thermal management solution that reduces the time and cost of deploying and upgrading high-performance data centers to meet unrelenting demand for generative AI and machine learning workflows. Molex VaporConnect™ Optical Feedthrough Modules for two-phase immersion cooling address constant increases in data center speed and capacity by leveraging a unique, cassette-based design that bolts directly onto immersion tanks and enables optical transceivers and network cabling infrastructure to be swapped out without changing mechanical interfaces or impacting immersion tank architecture. Reference designs for the new modules will be available commercially in Q1 of 2025.

“Molex continually embraces innovative optical solutions to ease data center deployments and upgrades while alleviating critical thermal management challenges,” said Trevor Smith, general manager, Optical Connectivity, Molex. “VaporConnect gives customers the flexibility to upgrade connectivity and scale cooling system designs to keep pace with data center growth by simply deploying a different module, which will accelerate upgrades while reducing overall energy, cooling and technology costs.”

Streamlining Two-Phase Immersion Cooling
Molex VaporConnect Optical Feedthrough Modules simplify the connections between optical transceivers contained within immersion tanks and cabling infrastructure that exists outside the tank using fully upgradeable sealed modules. With VaporConnect, sealing and cabling is accomplished inside the module, giving customers the opportunity to upgrade connectors without impacting immersion tank design or architecture. Additionally, customers have the flexibility to re-use standard cabling infrastructure for multiple product generations, which further reduces deployment time, cost and complexity.

A full range of industry-standard and Molex optical connector form factors are available for single- and multi-mode fiber solutions. They also feature mix-and-match functionality to facilitate system upgrades to newer or denser connectors. Customizable module footprints are available to fit specific space and application requirements. Also, Molex VaporConnect Optical Feedthrough Modules are designed to minimize external patching and shuffle requirements by leveraging Molex FlexPlane™ optical circuitry technology. As a result, complex optical shuffles and high-density fiber routing are integrated seamlessly within the module for simpler installation and plug-and-play operation.

Reliable, Versatile, Upgradeable Optical Interconnects
A sealing gasket comes with every VaporConnect module, which is thoroughly tested using industry-standard, helium-leak testing to ensure a reliable seal with the tank wall. This also assures a seamless transition from the server line cards inside the tank to outside cabling infrastructure. Testing is underway for compliance with industry-standard GR-1435-CORE.

VaporConnect modules are designed to accommodate customer specifications, with the number of fiber channels dependent on the number and type of connectors used. As many as 576 fibers can be integrated into a single module. A range of form factor options are available, including MPO, LC and very small form factor (VSFF) options, such as MMC, MDC, SN and SN-MT. This ensures conformance to existing infrastructure and streamlines system upgrades. As part of Molex’s continued investment in this area, an EBO connector option is currently in development, with availability slated for the first half of 2025.

Molex’s Commitment to Optical Network Innovations on Display at ECOC 2024
As the largest manufacturer of Optical Feedthrough Modules for two-phase immersion cooling, Molex has shipped more than 350,000 optical channels to date. At this year’s ECOC’24, Molex will reinforce its commitment to optical network infrastructure innovations with on-site product displays, including the new VaporConnect Optical Feedthrough Modules. The company’s extensive line of optical connectivity products, optoelectronics solutions and wavelength management systems also are being featured at Stand C75. As a participating member in OIF, Molex is part of an interoperability demonstration, which takes place at Booth B83, to spotlight optical networking innovations and solutions for data centers, AI/ML technologies and disaggregated systems.

Hospital in Greenland chooses Sectra’s radiology solution–enhanced cross-country collaboration for improved patient care

Published

on

By

LINKÖPING, Sweden, Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra (STO: SECT B) will provide its enterprise imaging solution to Dronning Ingrids hospital (DIH) in Greenland. The solution will enhance DIH’s ongoing collaboration with hospitals in Denmark, addressing resource and subspecialty challenges, and ultimately improving patient care in the region. 

“The partnerships we have with hospitals in Denmark are highly important to us as we, being sparsely populated, struggle to recruit staff and cover medical specialties locally. To deliver care at the speed and quality we want, we need to both increase the efficiency of our internal radiology workflows and facilitate the cooperation with healthcare providers in Denmark. Sectra’s unified platform enables this by providing easy access to images, data, patient portfolio and necessary tools, along with the ability to efficiently share information,” says Cosmus Pyndt, Manager of the diagnostic and therapeutic department in the region.

DIH is Greenland’s central hospital. It is located in the city of Nuuk, also supporting 15 clinics spread around the country. The contract for Sectra’s enterprise imaging solution was signed in the second quarter of Sectra’s 2024/2025 fiscal year following a donation to the hospital from Kirsten og Freddy Johansens Fond. DIH will initially utilize the solution’s module for radiology.

“Sharing resources, expertise and workload between hospitals within a region or, as in this case, even across borders, is crucial in handling the increasing workloads in healthcare and resource shortages. Therefore, the sharing of information and images between hospitals should be efficient and easy. It is encouraging to witness the collaboration between DIH and hospitals in Denmark. The involvement of Rigshospitalet in Denmark, which went live with Sectra this summer, and particularly the expertise of Chief Radiologist Martin Lundsgaard Hansen, has been helpful in shaping this project,” says Sune Henriksen, Managing Director, Sectra Denmark.

He continues: “I am honored to support Dronning Ingrids hospital in delivering high-quality patient care, and we are excited about this new chapter for Sectra as we extend to support healthcare in Greenland.”

Sectra’s enterprise imaging solution provides a unified strategy for all imaging needs while lowering operational costs. The scalable and modular solution, with a VNA at its core, allows healthcare providers to grow from ology to ology and from enterprise to enterprise.
