Logan-based Juniper Systems Inc., a manufacturer of rugged tablets, handheld computers, mapping software and GPS receivers, has introduced its Mesa Pro Rugged Tablet. The new device carries a dustproof and waterproof rating of IP68 which means it can be submerged in water for an extended period without damage. It is the only such-rated tablet that uses an active cooling fan to cool the system’s processor.

“This is a big moment for Juniper Systems,” said Darren Hellstern, Mesa Pro product manager at Juniper Systems. “We have a long history of{mprestriction ids="1,3"} offering IP68 on our rugged products. A lot of time and hard work has gone into securing the rating for Mesa Pro. Achieving this rating of ingress protection against water and dust in a tablet with a fan is an engineering challenge. Our team was up for that challenge and delivered for our customers.”

The Mesa Pro features 11th Generation Intel Core processors, a Microsoft Windows 11 operating system, device customization options, a large sunlight-readable display and the company’s Juniper Rugged design.

Hellstern said the Mesa Pro is ideal for industries like construction, utility mapping, manufacturing, field service, geomatics and mining. It adapts to environments like in-cab mounting.

“Mesa Pro is a powerful laptop replacement for those who are looking for a more robust computer to fit their work needs,” Hellstern said. “Whether it is in the office or in the field, the Mesa Pro offers everything mobile workers need in a rugged computer.”

Sentient, a Park City provider of aesthetic care products, has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for Tixel by Sentient, its non-invasive skin resurfacing technology for the treatment of periorbital wrinkles. Commonly known as “crow’s feet,” periorbital wrinkles are fine lines that appear around the eyes. Tixel delivers short bursts of thermal energy into the skin’s surface without damaging the deeper tissues. When briefly applied to the skin, the device transfers thermal energy directly to its top layers, creating controlled micro-damage that stimulates collagen production and rejuvenates the skin’s appearance. “The FDA’s approval for treating periorbital wrinkles with Tixel by Sentient is a game-changer for patients and for the aesthetics industry,” said Chris Cella, CEO of Sentient. “It reaffirms Sentient’s dedication to innovation and delivering safe and effective outcomes for our patients.”
