Rabbit® Enables Extreme Monitoring in Antarctica
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory project, headed by University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) is a $274 million project geared toward the detection of neutrinos–subatomic particles that are a result of radioactive decay. Data from the telescope will be used by the Antarctic Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Institute to understand supernova explosions, gamma-ray bursts, black holes and other extra-galactic events. Correlating the number and energy of the detected neutrinos with these events will help to explain their nature, as well as to help us understand the sources of dark energy and dark matter. Massive equipment is required to detect neutrinos and it is essential for this equipment, in these extreme conditions to be in top working order and to stay connected to the main network of sensors. To make sure the sensors operate at top performance, Rabbit’s RCM4200 RabbitCore® is used for “extreme” monitoring connectivity.

These tools are accurate, but they can be heavy (100 to 1000 pounds) and difficult to set up and use. With the help of Rabbit® and the RCM4000 RabbitCore®, FMC was able to find a solution that could be put to the test.
Rabbit® Helps to Battle Cancer
One of the most effective methods to combat cancer and tumors is radiation therapy. Along with the benefits there also exists a significant level of risk, since too much radioactive exposure can cause new formations of cancer or even lead to death. In order to protect from over-exposure, a subspecialty called dosimetry calculates the radiation level of in a mass or tissue. Measurements are made with a device called MOSFET (Metal Oxide Field Effect Transistor) dosimeter. Dosimeters have become widely popular for clinical use, especially with radiotherapy. With the help of the RCM3100 RabbitCore, Best Medical Canada is taking dosimetry to a whole new level.
RCM3710 Bridges the Gap of Remote Management
