Eko Devices’ smart stethoscope could eliminate unnecessary cardiologist referrals.

True story: When I was 15, I went in for a sports physical and the primary care doc heard a heart murmur that concerned him. He thought one of my valves was too small and might have to be replaced. So he sent me to a specialist whose waiting list was a couple of months long. During that time I was worried sick, and so were my parents. When we finally went to the cardiologist (200 miles from home), he quickly told us that the murmur was nothing and that I would grow out of it. He was right.

Kinnek grabs a new $10M to help small businesses shop for supplies.

Believe it or not, supply purchasing for small businesses such as restaurants and bakeries is has not really evolved over the years. These businesses still find suppliers through the Yellow Pages or by chance, and stick with them because researching alternatives is just too much of a pain.

Silicon Valley hardware startup Kateeva raises $38M for flexible displays.

Kateeva has raised $38 million to build flexible displays using its inkjet printing technology. Its technology could lead to bright and thin TVs with curved and bendable screens.

Fundings for hardware startups are rare in Silicon Valley. But Kateeva is an exception thanks to its patented technology that has been in development for years.

The fourth round of funding included new investor Samsung Venture Investment Corp. (SVIC). Other existing investors participating in the round are Sigma Partners, Spark Capital, Madrone Capital, Partners, DBL Investors, New Science Ventures, and Veeco Instruments.

New EU air pollution rules underway for ‘non-road mobile machinery’

Noxious emissions from everyday cars and trucks have long been regulated at European level. But the European Commission believes pollution from so-called non-road mobile machinery – which includes everything from bulldozers to chainsaws – is a problem and is seriously considering imposing emission limits on them.

n their efforts to improve air quality in Europe, EU lawmakers adopted a directive in 1997 that restricted emissions of pollutants such as nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) from diesel engines installed in non-road mobile machinery (NRMM).
