Nihon Dempa Kogyo Co.Ltd. today announced development of a "Mechanical 3D linear array probe" for advanced 3D/4D imaging applications in diagnostic ultrasound.This probe is targeted at breast scanning, but is also suitable for other clinical applications requiring high resolution 3D imaging over a wide field of view. The mechanical 3D linear array probe is of novel design, with a sliding linear scan of a linear array. NDK's unique linear slide scan, the first of its type in the world, was developed to improved lateral resolution and increase diagnostic function compared to conventional circular scan geometries. Additionally, the mechanical 3D linear array probe has a flat surface, allowing more even contact with soft tissue such as the breast. NDK will start shipping a samples of this probe from June 2008.

NIHON DEMPA KOGYO CO., LTD. has developed an ultra-compact Voltage-Controlled Crystal Oscillator NV2520SA. With the spread of digital broadcasting-capable mobile devices, there is a growing need for a compact and high-performance VCXO as a clock oscillator for the processing of complex image signals. In order to meet this need, with the use of the high density mounting technology, we have developed NV2520SA , which is one of the industry’s smallest package (Dimension: 2.5 × 2.0 × 0.8mm). Although it is ultra-compact, it has Frequency control range "Min. ±100×10-6". Also, it has a wide Operating temperature range of from - 40 °C to +85 °C, and can be used under a wide variety of environmental conditions.

NIHON DEMPA KOGYO CO., LTD. has developed an ultra-compact Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator NT2016SB. Recently, there has been a growing need for GPS-equipped mobile phones and mobile terminals. Amid the need for miniaturization, an extremely high precision has been required for the GPS function on these devices, and the need to reduce the power consumption has increased due to the multifunctionality of mobile phones. In order to meet these needs, we have developed an ultra-compact, light and low profile (0.8 mm max) TCXO NT2016SB which has highly stable frequency-temperature characteristics and operates with lower power consumption due to the Enable/Disable function.

NIHON DEMPA KOGYO CO., LTD. has developed the world's first environment-friendly, miniaturized (2.5 x 2.0 x 0.9 mm) and ultralow power-driven crystal clock oscillator “NZ2520SF”. Recently, eco-friendly products have become popular in various applications, and the move towards energy conservation has accelerated. For this reason, there is a strong demand for electronic components constituting these products to be environment-friendly, and due to the requirements for long-life battery and multi-functionality, energy conservation through both miniaturization and power saving is desired especially in compact devices such as mobile phones or handheld devices. In order to meet these market needs, we have developed a crystal clock oscillator that can be operated at ultralow power (0.8V min). “NZ2520SF” is the world's first* 2.5 x 2.0 mm type crystal clock oscillator that can be operated at ultralow power (0.8V min). In comparison with existing crystal clock oscillators, the oper...

NIHON DEMPA KOGYO CO., LTD. (President : Hiroshi Takeuchi) has developed and started to ship mass-produced compact high frequency range type VCXO (Voltage-Controlled Crystal Oscillators). Miniaturization of devices is required at high-speed wireless broadband networks and base stations for mobile communications from the perspective of establishing low-cost installations and operation. High frequency clock signals between 600 MHz to 700 MHz are required for the optical transmission devices and optical multiple-wavelength transmission devices used in these base stations and core networks. In order to meet the market requirements, NDK has developed the “NV7050SA” VCXO. It handles high frequency and has a small package, 7.0 × 5.0mm (one-tenth volume compared to the conventional products) while maintaining the same frequency stability and pull-ability range as the conventional products. Furthermore, ultralow phase jitter is achieved at a few tens of femtoseconds, which is an order of ...

MSP430-JTAG-ISO-MK2 has power profiling functionality which can be used from MSPDebug. When a chip is running, the debugger continuously captures current consumption and MAB (program counter) samples, which can be read and analysed. As of 4 Oct 2012, MSPDebug contains support for the following power profiling functionality:     Basic statistics (average current, run time, charge consumption).     Time-domain analysis, including exporting of raw samples to CSV format.     Disassembly annotations, which show power consumption on a per-instruction basis.     Hotspot/profile analysis to discover which functions are consuming the most power. The driver for this device supports both raw USB and tty access, and can be used to perform firmware updates. MSPDEBUG is open source tool, for debugging MSP430 microcontrollers. The project is hosted on Sourceforge The next logical step is to create IDE with MSPGCC+Eclipse+MSPDEB...

MOD-IO2 is UEXT module with two relays and 7 GPIOs, which can work with any of our boards with UEXT connectors.As MOD-IO2 are stackable you can have as many IOs as you want to your UEXT board by simply plug together MOD-IO2 boards, so you can have 2,4,6 etc controllable relays. The modules talk via I2C and the protocol is very easy. You can command the relays and read the GPIO status. Everyone have chance to win this board if answer correctly our Quiz question. Today at 17.00 o’clock our local Bulgarian time (GMT+3) we will post on Twitter our question. You have one hour to reply to our tweet with the correct answer. At 18.00 o’clock we will count the correct answers and ask random.org to generate random number in range then anнounce the winner and ship the board by airmail next Monday.
