NEW BUSINESS

IntriCon Corp., St. Paul, said that its strategic partner, Advanced Medical Electronics Corp., Minneapolis, is participating in two new research grants from the U.S. government. The first, from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, supports development of an ultra-miniature, body-worn technology platform for recording signals from skin electrodes. Advanced Medical also is a collaborator on a grant from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research. This grant is for additional research and testing for solid-state sensor technology in hearing aids.
