Development of high Precision Temperature Sensing device by MURATA
With miniaturization of electronic equipment and with their increasing mounting density, temperature control is becoming an ever vital issue to tackle. Also use of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries as the energy source for electronic equipment such as note-size PCs and electronic tools and HEVs is becoming more common creating a stronger demand for overheat detection of their battery cells. To address this need Murata manufacturing has developed and commercialized “Thermo-String” a tiny high-precision temperature sensing device which uses Chip POSISTOR or a chip NTC thermistor as the detector element.

Development of Full High Definition 50-inch 3D PDP and High Precision Active Shuter Glasses by Panasonic
Panasonic just made an announcement on development of 50-inch size full high definition 3D plasma display panel plus a high-precision active shutter glasses which company claims will bring the true to life 3D images to your living room. The new PDP display has been developed based on Panasonic’s world first full HD 3D plasma Home Theater system which was developed and unveiled back in 2008 which was comprised of 103-inch PDP and Blu-ray Disc player. Why Panasonic decreased the size of its display, well according to the company it seems to be the most popular size for the home theater system. The newly developed PDP comes with Panasonic’s high speed 3D drive technology with capability of rapid illumination of pixels while maintaining the brightness; it also has incorporated the crosstalk reduction technology aimed at reducing the image ghosting which occurs when left and right eye images are alternately displayed. PDP were selected as the display technology due to their self illuminating characteristics with full motion picture resolution capable of fast response time making them ideal for display of fast moving images.
