Lead poisoning threatens millions of people, yet is entirely preventable. Our mission is to help identify and protect those at risk. Magellan Diagnostics is a medical device company that provides point-of-care systems, clinical laboratory instruments, and analytical laboratory services focused on lead testing. Headquartered outside Boston in Billerica, Massachusetts, Magellan is dedicated to offering high-quality, reliable products that help identify children and adults at risk of harm due to lead exposure. Magellan Diagnostics has been a pioneer in the analysis of blood lead since the late 1960s, when the company (then called ESA, Inc.) was founded by four PhD graduates from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Applying a novel technique called Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV), they designed and built a bench top analyzer for the measurement of lead in blood. The company then adapted this technology to create smaller, portable instruments that can be used outside of the traditional reference laboratory. This major achievement broadened the accessibility of lead testing by bringing it to the point of care.

ChipWrights, Inc. is a fabless semiconductor company and a leader in innovative digital and visual signal processing for embedded video and audio applications. ChipWrights specializes in developing all-in-one high definition solutions for complex application-specific standard products (ASSPs)—in particular, System-on-a-Chip (SoC) devices—which integrate a complete system on a single chip. ChipWrights’ fully programmable, low cost, low power, and high performance SoCs are ideal for building competitive products in the digital imaging and video markets. Its vector DSP achieves very high parallelism when operating on image data. The instruction set, address indexing schemes, and data access mechanisms are all tuned for image and video processing. Even the system Direct Memory Access engines are designed to move data in two-dimensional patches. ChipWrights’ goal is to provide customers with the best combination of Price, Performance, Power, Peripheral Integration, and Programmability. ChipWrights believes that image processing should be based on programmable solutions rather than fixed function ASICs. As system product life cycles get shorter and product requirements grow more complex, the improved flexibility of a programmable solution provides tremendous benefits to the system designer and manufacturer. The company offers a complete set of development tools, reference boards, and application libraries for its chips. In addition, a network of third party DSP algorithm and application developers is beginning to emerge whom can work together to create innovative and differentiated imaging products around the ChipWrights platform.
