US-based regional transmission organization PJM
Interconnection has approved a budget of $1.5 billion
to improve the electricity transmission infrastructure in its
region. The funding will be used for medium and large-
scale projects to provide better power supply for around 65
million consumers. Full details are on page 9.
Northwire has released a new variant of BioCompatic, an
alternative to silicone for design engineers in the medical
field. BioCompatic was developed by Northward as a cost-
effective upgrade to silicone, providing robust resistance
to chemicals, cuts, and abrasion without requiring a curing
process and, subsequently, increasing speed to market.
See page 12 for the full story.
