SANTA CLARA, Calif., FURSTENFELDBRUCK, Germany and YOKOHAMA CITY, Japan, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Samplify Systems, Inc., a real-time compression technology company, Schleifring und Apparatebau GmbH, the market leading slip- ring manufacturer to the medical and defense markets, and Tokyo Electron Device Ltd (TED), a leading manufacturer of Xilinx application boards, today announced an agreement for the joint development of the world's first slip- ring integrating Samplify's patented Prism CT(TM) signal compression technology for the medical computed tomography (CT) market. Samplify's Prism CT(TM) compression engine is the first compression technology purpose-built to expand the capacity of CT data acquisition subsystems. By integrating signal compression technology into the slip-ring Schleifring und Apparatebau will not only meet the demands of next generation CT machines, but also offer a cost- effective drop-in replacement for existing machines. TED will supply customized inrevium(TM) application boards for both data acquisition on the rotating gantry, and a PCIe-based data termination card for the host workstation.
