TDC is a manufacturing company which offers ultra-precise lapping and polishing services. Our technology realizes high precision quality such as surface roughness Ra 1nm, parallelism 100 nm, flatness 30 nm, size tolerance +/-100 nm, angle +/- 3 sec and roundness 50 nm, and we satisfy these specs with world renowned metrology equipment. Not only providing polishing service, we work like a one-stop-shop to fabricate precise parts, handling a wide variety of materials including metals, ceramics, resin, glass, and semiconductor materials. For example, we succeeded in thinning 4-inch wafers down to 1 micrometer thickness while attached to the base wafer. TDC also provides "plasma-assisted polishing (PAP)" services which is a highly efficient and high-quality polishing technique for diamond substrates. Generally, diamond substrates are polished by scaife-process using diamond abrasives. However, PAP is expected to be a damage-free and highly efficient polishing technology for diamond substrates compared to the existing process. We started offering PAP service last year and succeeded in polishing large size diamond substrate such as 40 mm x 40 mm down to less than Sa 0.2 nm and flatness of 0.5 um which is high enough quality for use as heat spreaders, X-ray window materials, power devices and so forth.

WANDA Medical Wearables

Networking Session Sponsor

WANDA is a remote monitoring healthcare analytics and management company for primary care patients with chronic diseases. The Remote Monitoring System (RMS) channels data from patients’ home to the WANDA analytics module which highlights to clinicians which are high risk allowing action to be taken before they have an adverse event, potentially reducing hospitalization rates.

WANDA brings to life personalized medicine combined with secure computing and revolutionary data-mining and analytics which represent a paradigm shift in modern healthcare. Globally, 75 per cent of all healthcare costs are attributable to chronic diseases, with heart failure, coronary vascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes amongst the most costly. In 2010, the United States spent 17.6 per cent of its gross domestic product on healthcare, whilst the United Kingdom spent 9.6 per cent. A 2011 report from the World Economic Forum further predicts that if there were no change to chronic disease management, overall global healthcare costs up until 2030 will result in a cumulative output loss of $47 trillion, roughly 75 per cent of global GDP in 2010.

WANDA is among the first movers in what will be a very large and fast growing market. The company is based in Silicon Valley and has an on-going collaboration with the Wireless Health Institute at UCLA. The clinical collaborators are currently using WANDA analytics on a research basis in seven major California hospitals, including UCLA, UCSF, Berkeley and Cedar Sinai.
