miniaturize

Object

• version: They have become miniaturized versions of their old fat self just considerably lighter.
• transmitter: Less than half the size of conventional belt packs, these miniaturized transmitters run on a tiny triple-A battery with 14-hour battery life.
• device: Miniaturized electronic devices and new chemical compounds are invading ( and cohabiting ) the physical structure of an organism.
• system: Development of miniaturized readout systems with integrated anode and electronics, perhaps using 3D packaging, is needed to reduce the mass significantly.
• instrument: The technique can be used to help with diagnosis or to carry out treatment or ' keyhole ' surgery ( using miniaturized instruments ).
• component: It was some years before advances in technology allowed us to miniaturize the components.
