If you were asked to name the top suppliers to the automotive Industry, would you include Panasonic? If not, you’d be wrong since the company is one of the most experienced players in this demanding market having supplied millions of parts. The compa...
Recent advances in conductive polymers have resulted in new capacitors which either use polymers to form the entire electrolyte or in conjunction with a liquid electrolyte in a design known as a hybrid capacitor. Either way, these polymer-based devic...
Recently, the progress of uncooled infrared (IR) sensors has been remarkable due to MEMS based pixel structure. Many applications are being developed, such as thermography, human detection, night vision and so on. Quantification of this energy allows...
NFC - The Dawn of an Economic and Monetary RevolutionIt doesn’t take Pink Floyd’s song “Money” to make you think about the disadvantages of our monetary system. Looking at the hard facts itself already proves: money is a dirty thing, literally in fac...
…Most End up Lying on the Floor?!!!! Cylindrical MELF (metal electrode leadless face) resistors can be awkward to mount and require mounting equipment with specialist nozzles to ensure they do not roll away. For this reason the market is moving ...
This article will explain how it can take just a few minutes to design a NFC antenna by using Panasonic’s free online design tool. This can therefore save you time and money when designing an NFC enabled solution with the MN63Y Series NFC Tags from P...
Solving thermal management challenges in a minimum space Electronic equipment needs an efficient means of managing and dispersing heat as systems continue to shrink in size.Heat is a killer for electronic systems. As applications get thinner and ligh...
