NEC Unveils New LSI Technology for Next Generation High Speed Serial Communication Interfaces
With rapid increase in volume of data that is being process for personal use due to existence of multitude of high functionality equipment such as HD TV and 3D video content has resulted in a greater demand for high speed communication of data both between and within a wide variety of equipments. In order to cope with such overwhelming demand, various types of sophisticated transmission schemes have been proposed to compensate for the large waveform distortion of input signals fed to the receiver, in order to reach a communication speed of 10 Gb/s to accommodate the next generation USB and PCI Express. However, due to complexity of some of the transmission scheme, their application has been limited, as they are not compatible with widely used binary transmission schemes currently used in USB and PCI Express. Based on this need, NEC and NECEL have developed a new high speed communication interface technology that utilizes binary transmission schemes capable of data transmission rates of 16Gb/s which is 3 times faster than the existing communication interface standards such as USB 3.0 and PCI Express 2.0.

Development of Next Generation Coiled Power Inductor by Toko
Toko inc. a leading Japanese developer and manufacturer of electronics parts that developed the world’s first intermediate frequency transformer (IFT) for transistor radios back in 1955, today made an announcement on development of next-generation coiled power inductor with measly size of 2.5×2.0×1.2mm. The newly power inductor has been targeted to be implemented in such personal electronic application as cell phones, smart phones and digital cameras to name a few. Read more
Next Generation LED display with built-in RGB Colors
LED technology finding its way in various lighting application and display application is no exception. LEDs don’t come cheap and there are still plenty of issues such as power and lighting efficiency and overall cost performance but that have not stopped the manufacturers to come up with some interesting ideas and products in applying this noble technology. One such product is a “3D Block Cluster” with a built-in Red, Green and Blue (RGB) color LED. This next generation LED display was developed by a Japanese company by the name of Stellar Arts. This newly developed display is capable of displaying movie on the block screen. By connecting each individual block various objects such as event booth and panels can be created easily, it is just like playing with toy blocks. As each block has input and output, there is no need for wiring cables and it is very easy to assemble and disassemble. Read more
Development of Next Generation Road Safety Solution by Toyota
In a country where most of the accident is caused by elderly individuals over 65 years of age this may be a blessing. Toyota Motor Corporation today made an announcement on development of on-board DSRC (dedicated short-range communications) which is a 5.8GHz band short-range communication system. According to Toyota the newly developed system will extend further the road safety by providing drivers real-time, close-vicinity traffic information.
The navigation system will link DSRC unit through use of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies, including Japan’s electronic toll collection framework, receiving a wide range of traffic information via vehicle-infrastructure communications and then providing it to highway drivers in visual form as well as through voice guidance.
