Solid state heat emission and absorption unit

The Peltier element is a semiconductor element that can control heat emission and absorption using electric current. The supplier of the element, Ampere, newly developed a skeleton type Peltier element that eliminates thick ceramic covers to replace with ployimide film material. A proven survival rate of heat cycles is more than 100,000 which is significantly higher than conventional ones.

Application fields of this product seems to be expected in manufacturing and inspection processes as well as medical and biological areas.

Wireless High-definition Quality Video Transmission Units

This system that consists of a receiver (left) and a transmitter wirelessly enables HD (30 frames/sec) quality video and stereo sounds transmission but with no compression and no delay time. The supplier, Giga Techno Vision's blog says the system is well secured because of its proprietary and patented technologies that differ its digital modulation method from wireless LAN. - Frequency Area 2.4GHz - Transmission power: 10 mW - Radio Channel Capacity 4ch Maximum - Diversity Method: Space-diversity 2 antennas - Size (Tx & Rx each): 110(W) x 80(Ｄ) x 30(Ｈ)mm - Weight (Tx & Rx each): approximately 300g - Transmission distance: 500 m outdoors (up to 3 km) There seem to be various applications, such as remote monitoring, CCTV, home video theater application, surveillance systems, etc. I hope in the near future the system become one single chip for receiver and transmitter each. When the chip becomes available, it will significantly broaden its applications to personal and ...

Broad Range of UV LED Applications

UV LED has a great potential for various applications and devices, such as a sensor, an indicator, an air cleaning device, a resin hardening device, lighting and display, and even in biotechnology field. A curing unit equipped with 25 pcs of UV LED Module (photo above) is for UV curing, one of the possible applications. The optical output power is more than 3W. The above video demonstrates one of display applications for fun. Nitride Semiconductors , a highly specialized supplier of UV LED, describes its self with four bullets, Cutting Edge ( Waza in Japanese), Ecology ( Yawaragi in Japanse ), High Quality ( Takumi in Japanese), and Fun ( Tanoshimi in Japanese) that is quite impressive and right fit in the present world.

Two Is Better Than One!

TOMY has announced a new digital camera that has a built-in printer inside. It is a full-featured 5 Megapixel digital camera with a built-in full color ZINK (trademark) priner that is powered by ZINK Imaging Inc's printing technology. The new product has been born by the marrige of the two technologies of digital camera and printer. It allows you to capture, view, and immediately print their images without ink, anywhere. The new products will be available first in Japan late November, 2008. Source: ZINK Imaging & YouTube 11/6/08
