Prototyping a secure multi-purpose mobile chip

14 November, 2005

A high-capacity chip under development is claimed to have the potential to do away with many of the identity documents, credit cards and passwords people have to use each day. The IST program-funded project SM-PAYSOC has created a working prototype of the chip packaged in a smartcard, which in the future could also be incorporated into a USB token or a SIM card.

Researchers create multi-colour LEDs

17 October, 2005

A team of University of California scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed what it claims is the first inorganic, multi-colour light-emitting diodes based on colloidal quantum dots encapsulated in a gallium nitride semiconductor.

LEDs in arrays need constant current driving - for consistent driving current through each LED. Putting a resistor across each LED will not ensure the current through each LED in the array will be the same because every LED has its own voltage drop value.

Leach International has developed two small, lightweight relay series - KX and KUL - designed to carry high-current loads up to 300 A.

Circuit elements for opto frequencies

10 September, 2005

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania propose to shrink circuits to save space and power and, more importantly, accommodate electronic applications at much higher frequencies than are possible with current models - applications that include nano-optics, optical information storage and molecular signalling.

Designed for single phase compressors of up to 6.5kWatts (6.5 shaft horsepower), i-Start's patented switching technology not only reduces start-up currents to less than 45Amps, it reduces electrical load and hence wear on the starter as well, offering the potential of longer life for both compressors and starters alike.
