Lithium-ion Battery Powered Vehicle

According to the spillover's specification sheet, it runs 100km  (assuming at a constant speed rate of 30km/h) once the  lithium-ion battery is charged from the regular power supply  of 100VAC, whilst one time of charging takes 6 to 8 hours. Its  weight and length are 360kg and 2.48 meters respectively. Source: DigInfo via YouTube 2/9/09

2.5 GHz CMOS Differential LC VCO

Sugimoto Laboratroy of Chuo University presented on their newly developed technology of  2.5  Ghz CMOS differential LC VCO  (voltage controlled oscillator) at SEMICON Japan 2008.    It is expected that the new technology will  significantly improve S/N ratio voltage controlled oscillator.  Source:  DigInfo News via YouTube  2/5/09

A Trend of MEMS Technology

A micro-3-axis- MEMS touch sensor jointly developed by Tokyo University and Panasonic received an award of "Robot of the year 2008" announced by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The MEMS chips enable robotic fingers to sense a very small amount of vertical and horizontal pressure values, as well as shearing forces of material. Source: DigInfo News via YouTube 2/4/09
