DC-Link capacitors suitable for industrial and infrastructure use
Two recently introduced series of DC-Link capacitors from Panasonic Automotive & Industrial Systems Europe benefit from key technological advantages initially developed for the automotive segment. Mainly targeted at the power inverter and switching power supply markets, the EZPQ and EZPE series serve as AC-Link and DC-Link capacitors respectively. Both series use Panasonic’s patterned metallisation technology.
LiDAR sensor enables 3D detection of distances
A 3D LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor equipment that measures distance between the equipment and the object from the round-trip travelling time of the pulse laser that is projected to the object has been developed by Panasonic. The sensor accurately measures the direction of and distance to objects with a wide angle of view, which is critical for autonomous operation of mobile robots.
Next-gen Bluetooth module enables advanced wireless connectivity
Featuring what the company claims to be the industry's lowest power Bluetooth Low Energy SoC, the next-gen Bluetooth module from Panasonic has been introduced. The PAN1760A module benefits from a peak power consumption of only 3.3mA in Tx and Rx mode, enabling advanced wireless functionalities in IoT, medical, and industrial applications without compromising battery life. Mandatory and optional Bluetooth 4.2 features are supported.
Nanocomposite electrolyte designed for next-gen battery use
At the Imec Technology Forum Japan, imec and Panasonic, announced that they have developed a solid nanocomposite electrolyte for next-gen batteries with a lithium ion conductivity several times greater than its liquid equivalent. The ion conductivity already reaches several mS/cm at room temperature.
Providing solutions-based competence service for European customers
To bring the company’s engineering competence closer to customers in Europe, Panasonic Industry Europe has announced that the company has created leaner processes and unified business divisions to provide high quality capabilities and efficient technical solutions across a broad portfolio of products and services.
Putting sustainability at the heart of UK design
Did you know that 99% of the materials we use to make the things we buy are thrown away within six months?Over the last 60 years we have done away with the values of thrift and re-use that our grandparents lived by and designed ourselves a linear economy where we take things from the ground, ship it to where we want it to be, sell it and then bin it. Guest piece written byTerry O’Reilly, Manager,NT CADCAM.
Seeing the light
Steve Rogerson discusses whether LIDAR can continue its journey to become a sensor technology of choice for autonomous vehicles.LIDAR is not new. The light equivalent to RADAR uses pulsed laser beams and measures their reflections to determine the distance of objects, and it has been around since the 1960s. It was originally used for gathering information about clouds and shot to fame in 1971 when the Apollo 15 mission used it to map the surface ...
