Take an unequivocal stand for basic human decency against Hamas!

Posted on by Posted in Administrative, My Portfolio

I STAND WITH ISRAEL

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On October 7, 2023, Hamas perpetrated horrific acts of pure evil against innocent civilians in the south of Israel. Hamas continues to launch rockets against population centers with the sole purpose of causing terror, destruction, and indiscriminate death. These crimes cannot be justified under any circumstances.

Now, a week after the terrorist attack, over seven million of my brothers and sisters in Israel, and millions of Jews around the world live in anguish about the welfare of the hostages taken by Hamas, and concerned about the safety of those in our families who have mobilized to defend our existence.

I do not ask you to take a political stance in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In fact, I believe that the Palestinian People are victims of Iran and its puppet Hamas’ complete disregard for human life. Instead, I ask you to take an unequivocal stand for basic human decency against the senseless and barbaric acts of terrorism perpetrated by Hamas.

Silence is complicity!

Renewing Activity on Implantable-Device.com

I haven’t updated this blog in over a year, mostly because of issues with my hosting provider.  I finally got fed up with them and migrated the website to a new host, which so far has proven to be fast and reliable.

Much has happened in our Industry over the last year, so I have a lot to catch up on this blog.  I’ve also added historical IPGs to my collections, so telling their story is another thing that I need to do.

I hope you visit often to read the updates!

OT: New Book on Ultraviolet Photography

Posted on by Posted in Administrative

Exploring Ultraviolet Photography book by David Prutchi PhD.

My new book “Exploring Ultraviolet Photography: Bee Vision, Forensic Imaging, and Other Near Ultraviolet Adventures with Your DSLR” is now available on Amazon for pre-order.

In this book, I will show you how to select equipment that allows you to capture otherworldly UV images. You’ll learn how to use filters that block visible light and prevent infrared light leaks and will discover how supplementing or overpowering sunlight with artificial UV light sources can help you create stronger images. You’ll also learn postprocessing techniques designed to enhance your UV photographs.

There is much to discover about the world as seen by bees, birds, and butterflies (and other creatures). I will take you into the wild to capture UV images that show how flowers advertise their nectar with beautiful markings to attract pollinating insects and birds. You’ll also discover how butterflies that look dull in visible light burst with intricate, iridescent patterns in UV.

Finally, you’ll learn about the scientific, medical, and forensic uses of ultraviolet photography.

From start to finish, this book will educate, inspire photographic creativity, and foster a better understanding of the UV world.

I apologize for yesterday’s interruption of service in this blog.  I moved hosting company because the old one was too slow and unreliable.

Unfortunately, I fell for the 5-star reviews which actually ended up being paid by the hosting company…  I wish that they would invest half their marketing dollars on lowering server load.

Oh well… The blog does work much faster on the new server, so I’m sure that it will make your experience on this site much more pleasant.  Hope you enjoy it!

Welcome to implantable-device.com, a blog dedicated to professionals interested in the fascinating world of active implantable medical devices!

Let me tell you a bit about myself: I have thirty years of experience in the design of Medical Electronic Instrumentation, most of it developing active implantable medical devices. In addition to over 40 papers and 80 patents on implantable medical devices, I am the lead author of the books “Design and Development of Medical Electronic Instrumentation”, “Exploring Quantum Physics Through Hands-On Projects,” “Exploring Ultraviolet Photography – Bee Vision, Forensic Imaging, and Other Adventures in Ultraviolet Photography,” and “High-Power Near-Infrared Light Treatments for Depression, Dementia, and Other Brain Disorders.” (All of my books are available on Amazon #CommissionsEarned).

Please contact me if you would like to contribute to the blog, correct information that you find in these pages, make a news release, or if you have a picture of an implantable device that you would like to share with everyone else.

I hope that you enjoy reading this blog!
