As a result of the development of cartoon and animation, this famous oriental city has demonstrated its urban vitality with more diversity.
Staring from 2005, Hangzhou holds an annual city-wide party in the name of "cartoon & animation" every May. Over the past 14 years, a total of 16.2 million people around the world have participated in the event. As scheduled, from April 30 through May 5 this year, the 15th China International Cartoon & Animation Festival will be held in Hangzhou.

TOSHIBA LAUNCHES THREE-PHASE BRUSHLESS MOTOR CONTROLLER ICS WITH SINE WAVE DRIVE
― Realizes high efficiency in a wide range of rotations without phase adjustment ―
TOKYO, April 25 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") today released two three-phase brushless motor controller ICs “TC78B041FNG” housed in an SSOP30 package and “TC78B042FTG” in a VQFN32 package. Both adopt InPAC[1], Toshiba’s original automatic phase adjustment function, to eliminate phase adjustment and achieve high level efficiency at a wide range of motor rotation speeds. This allows their use with motor drivers of various voltages and current capacities, and they also can be used in combination with intelligent power devices at the output stages. The controllers are suited for use in home appliances such as air-conditioners and air purifiers, and industrial equipment. Mass production starts today.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here:https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190424006188/en/
Manufacturers of home appliances and industrial equipment are increasingly using inverters to control fan motors, to meet strong demand for improved energy efficiency and lower noise. Conventionally, in order to obtain high-level efficiency, it is necessary to adjust the phase of the motor voltage and motor current for individual fan motors.
Realizing high efficiency over a wide range of rotational speeds—from almost zero rotations per minute (rpm) at start-up to high speeds of several 1,000rpm—requires many parts for phase adjustment. It also introduces the need for an MCU control system, and developing that takes time.
With the introduction of InPAC, Toshiba’s original new control technology, which automatically adjusts the phase of the Hall signal and motor current, the new products drive motors with an efficiency equivalent to that of an MCU control system, over a wide range of rotation speeds. InPAC secures both a high efficiency fan motor drive and sine wave drive that reduces noise.
In addition, since phase adjustment is performed automatically with simple settings, the previously required development time for software and MCU adjustment is eliminated, streamlining application.
Main Features
(1) InPAC
Secures high-level efficiency for a wide range of rotation speeds without any need for phase adjustment.
Simple phase adjustment of the Hall signal and output current realizes high efficiency driving.
(2) Low noise and low vibration
Use of a sine wave drive system with a smooth current waveform reduces noise, and generates less noise and vibration than motors with a rectangular wave drive system.
(3) Small package
TC78B042FTG adopts a VQFN32 (5mm x 5mm x 1mm) package that can be mounted in limited spaces. The popular SSOP30 package is also available as TC78B041FNG.
Applications
Home appliances such as air-conditioners and air purifiers, and industrial equipment.
Main Specifications
TOKYO, April 25 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") today released two three-phase brushless motor controller ICs “TC78B041FNG” housed in an SSOP30 package and “TC78B042FTG” in a VQFN32 package. Both adopt InPAC[1], Toshiba’s original automatic phase adjustment function, to eliminate phase adjustment and achieve high level efficiency at a wide range of motor rotation speeds. This allows their use with motor drivers of various voltages and current capacities, and they also can be used in combination with intelligent power devices at the output stages. The controllers are suited for use in home appliances such as air-conditioners and air purifiers, and industrial equipment. Mass production starts today.

Manufacturers of home appliances and industrial equipment are increasingly using inverters to control fan motors, to meet strong demand for improved energy efficiency and lower noise. Conventionally, in order to obtain high-level efficiency, it is necessary to adjust the phase of the motor voltage and motor current for individual fan motors.

INFINEON AND E2OPEN AWARDED BEST TECHNOLOGY COLLABORATION AT THE ANNUAL SINGAPORE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AWARDS GALA DINNER
Global Production Network project will help Infineon achieve its digital transformation strategy and better serve customers in fast-moving markets
SINGAPORE, April 25 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Infineon Technologies AG and E2open received the prestigious Singapore International Chamber of Commerce (SICC) Award in the category of Best Technological Collaboration. The award was presented at the 2019 SICC Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner, held on April 3, 2019, by guest of honor and Singapore’s Minister for Trade and Industry Chan Chun Sing.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here:https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190424005206/en/
The collaborative Infineon and E2open project, entitled “Global Production Network,” established a platform based on E2open’s Manufacturing Visibility technology for Infineon to achieve global visibility over its manufacturing related supply chains, involving both internal and external manufacturing.
“The anticipated impact of the manufacturing visibility with E2open is significant,” said Dr. Mathias Duemmler, senior director of factory integration at Infineon. “In addition to the benefits realized so far, this project has contributed to progress with our process automation roadmap. This esteemed award honors the partnership between E2open and Infineon and will certainly boost our successful digital transformation journey.”
With the Global Production Network project, E2open and Infineon connected former siloed manufacturing and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems within its widespread network of internal and external factories and created a holistic view of production, quality control and material allocation across the supply chain.
Automating the exchange of data between disparate systems will improve productivity by eliminating the manual and labor-intensive processes of consolidating spreadsheets and allowing users to focus only on exceptions that require attention. Streamlined quality processes will increase profitability, generating higher yields and reducing scrap costs by identifying defects or non-conformances earlier in the production cycle. The E2open solution enables availability of accurate real-time data to many other Infineon business processes and systems.
“E2open considers it an honor to help Infineon achieve its Global Virtual Factory vision and put in place a technology framework for the future. This prestigious SICC award is recognition of what two forward-thinking companies can build together in the pursuit of digital transformation,” said Michael Farlekas, president and chief executive officer of E2open. “The E2open platform provides the breadth to meet Infineon’s immediate needs, the depth to grow with the company as business processes mature and the agility to accommodate future changes in corporate strategy.”

Infineon Technologies AG is a world leader in semiconductor solutions that make life easier, safer and greener. Microelectronics from Infineon is the key to a better future. In the 2018 fiscal year (ending 30 September), the Company reported sales of €7.6 billion with about 40,100 employees worldwide. Infineon is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ticker symbol: IFX) and in the USA on the over-the-counter market OTCQX International Premier (ticker symbol: IFNNY).
