The Matrix 355 series solid-state lasers are air-cooled systems for OEM integration. The Matrix 355-1-60 is said to deliver more than 1W of average power at a 60 kHz pulse repetition rate; the Matrix 355-2-20 delivers 2W at 20 kHz.  Are RoHS compliant. Feature PermAlign component mounting technology, robotic assembly methods, and components such as AAA (Aluminum-free Active Area) pump diodes. Contain UV-compatible materials in the laser head and multi-pass harmonics. Are for stereolithography (rapid prototyping), LCD/FPD titling, memory repair, thin film processing, precision marking and semiconductor scribing.

Altium Designer 6.8 includes a 3-D PCB visualization engine. Reportedly permits designers to see exactly how the manufactured board will look. Includes 300 new features that are said to simplify designing electronics systems, harnessing new technologies and integrating the electronics design processes with the rest of an organization. Can rotate and flip designs, navigate around components, zoom into the bare board down, and dive beneath the surface of the board to explore inner layers. Board-level additions include differential pair support for interactive track length tuning feature; can adjust the lengths of both traces of differential pairs simultaneously. Metafile data can be pasted directly from Windows clipboard into a PCB design. Has OpenBus graphical editor.
