The Sirius Pintuition System presents an innovative solution for breast cancer surgery. The procedure involves the insertion of a tiny titanium-encased magnet into the tumor using a needle. To assist the surgeon further, a specialized rod is introduced through a small incision in the breast. This rod detects the magnetic field and offers valuable guidance during the surgical process. Notably, this innovative approach enhances cosmetic outcomes and facilitates more breast-conserving surgeries.

Throughout the system's development, 3T spearheaded the electronic aspects, addressing challenges in accurately detecting and interpreting the magnetic field. Collaborating with a third-party provider, we devised sophisticated mathematical algorithms for precise positioning.

As a result, the device's screen now provides real-time information, displaying the distance between the rod and the magnetic seed in millimeters, proving to be a vital asset during surgery.

MINT, short for Multi INTerface, is a versatile development tool known for its high-speed solution capabilities.

Inside MINT, you'll find an Intel Arria V SoC, a powerful fusion of an FPGA and a Dual-core ARM CortexTM-A9 MPCore. This unique combination harnesses the computing power of an FPGA and the adaptability of software on an ARM-based hard processor system (HPS). All interfaces are readily accessible from both the FPGA and the ARM-based HPS.

3T is a renowned Dutch electronic design house with over four decades of industry expertise. Our dedicated team of 100+ developers is wholeheartedly committed to delivering excellence and innovation in every project we embrace.

Analog & mixed signal design is our most distinctive competence. If you have an application that requires precision sensor interfaces, real-time data acquisition, or a complex control circuit, 3T is the place to be. Being an AD and TI design partner, we have access to the latest technology.

3T has built up FPGA knowledge and experience since FPGAs were introduced in the market. As a design partner of Intel, AMD, and Microchip, we have access to the latest FPGA technology, such as the newest generation of Systems-On-Chip devices.

Controlling actuators and managing heat dissipation are crucial aspects of various applications, ranging from industrial automation and robotics to electronic devices and power generation. A control algorithm enables precise manipulation of physical systems while optimizing heat dissipation to ensure system performance, reliability, and components' longevity.

Model-Driven Development enhances productivity, reduces development time and costs, and improves maintainability by establishing a clear and traceable relationship between the real world (models) and the implemented system. For Model-driven development, we use the toolchains of MathWorks and ANSYS. 

Using our in-depth knowledge of the developed application, the development of associated test systems and test strategies is a logical consequence. Depending on the situation, the concept of testing has a different perspective and effect on the development process.
