Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE: TMO) extended its leading FT-IR spectrometry platform by introducing the first research-grade FT-IR system designed for simple one-touch operation. The new Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS50 FT-IR spectrometer is one of several innovative products being introduced at ACHEMA.
TSMC (TWSE: 2330, NYSE: TSM) announced its 28nm high performance ARM(R) Cortex(TM)-A9 dual-core processor test chip achieved 3.1GHz performance under typical conditions. Using various design signoff conditions, ARM A9 at TSMC 28HPM delivers performance speed range from 1.5GHz to 2.0GHz, suitable for mobile computing, and up to 3.1GHz for high-performance uses. With its wide performance-to-leakage coverage, the 28nm HPM process was developed for devices targeting networking, tablet and mobile consumer product applications. The ARM Cortex-A9 silicon implementation and validation is part of TSMC’s ongoing technology benchmarking effort to demonstrate performance, power and area (PPA) capabilities at the system-on-chip (SoC) level for each process technology node.
Teijin Limited announced that Teijin CNF Korea Co., Ltd., an Asan-based joint venture between Teijin and major Korean film processor CNF, has begun commercial production of LIELSORT(TM), a Teijin-developed innovative separator for lithium ion secondary batteries (LIBs). Of the two types of LIELSORT-branded separators, Teijin CNF Korea will initially produce one type coated with a fluorine-based compound that achieves superior adhesion to the polymer electrolyte and is highly resistant to oxidation, resulting in LIBs that offer higher output while maintaining stable high voltage. The company also plans to begin producing the second type, a highly heat-resistant separator coated with Teijinconex(R) meta-aramid. As part of market expansion strategies for LIELSORT(TM), Teijin has established a wholly owned subsidiary in Seoul called Teijin Electronics Korea Co., Ltd. to sell both separators. This production and sales network, which has close connections to world-leading South Korean LIB producers, will also provide Teijin with a secure foothold for penetrating the Chinese market.
