14 December 2007 Japan: Fujitsu Develops High-Speed, Power-Efficient ReRAM Featuring Limited Fluctuation of Resistance Value
Kawasaki, Japan, December 14, 2007 – Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. today announced the development of a new type of resistive RAM (ReRAM), a type of non-volatile memory, which combines low power consumption with limited fluctuation of resistance value. By changing the structure of the ReRAM by adding titanium (Ti) to nickel oxide (NiO), and by limiting the current flow from the transistor, Fujitsu Labs has successfully reduced the current needed to erase memory to 100 micro-amperes or less. Furthermore, even in high-speed erasure operations requiring only 5 nanoseconds, fluctuation of resistance value which affects the device's quality has been reduced to one-tenth (1/10th) that of conventional ReRAMs. Fujitsu Labs views the new ReRAM as an alternative to flash memory that combines high speed and low power consumption, in a low-cost embedded memory.

16 April 2007 US: Fujitsu Dedicates School at Habitat for Humanity’s Jimmy Carter Work Project site, Malavali
April 16, 2007 – According to latest statistics by CRY, less than half of India's children between the ages of 6 and 14 go to school. An even more alarming statistic is that a little over one-third of all children who enroll in grade one, ever reach grade eight. Recognizing this growing problem, Fujitsu, the world's third-largest IT services provider and Japan's market leader, is supporting Habitat for Humanity’s IndiaBuilds, and this year’s international Jimmy Carter Work Project (JCWP). This initiative included the donation of money & volunteer hours towards the construction of a school at the JCWP site in Malavali. The school will create opportunities for 200 children from the JCWP village and the surrounding villages for their self development and growth.
