7 December 2006 Japan: Fujitsu Develops New Bio-Based Polymer from Castor Oil
Tokyo, December 7, 2006 – Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Laboratories Limited today announced their development of a new polymer with a high bio-content that uses castor oil extracted from the seeds of the castor bean. The new bio-based polymer features superior flexibility that can withstand repeated bending. Fujitsu will consider using this new bio-based polymer for small components of notebook PCs and mobile phones, such as connector covers.
2 November 2006 Japan: Fujitsu's PalmSecure™ Biometric Palm Vein Authentication Deployed by Hair Care Company Aderans for PC Log-in System
Tokyo, November 2, 2006 – Fujitsu Limited today announced that Aderans Co., Ltd., a major Japanese hair care company, will deploy Fujitsu's PalmSecure™ contactless biometric palm vein authentication system for the PC log-in system for computers used by staff at Aderans branches throughout Japan. This is the first implementation of palm vein-based biometric authentication to safeguard customer data by the hair care industry, which includes wigs and hair pieces, hair-volumizing products, and services for healthy hair growth. In recent years, companies and government agencies have an increased awareness of the importance of protecting personal data. At Aderans, due to the fact that the company's internal information system handles sensitive customer data, the company sought advanced high-level security measures for system log-in, beyond merely employee IDs and passwords.
21 September 2006 Japan: Fujitsu Develops SmartCODEC™ Streamlined Image Compression Technology for Automotive Applications
Kawasaki, September 21, 2006 – Fujitsu Laboratories Limited today announced that it has developed image compression technology for automotive use that complies with the IDB-1394 (ITS Data Bus-1394) standard for in-vehicle digital imaging transmission system networks. The new technology, SmartCODEC, features a compression rate of one-third (1/3), and a fast compression-decompression time of just 2 to 3 milliseconds that enables compression and multiplex transmission of images to inside the vehicle, such as images from multiple automotive cameras located externally on the vehicle. In addition to assisting facilitation of safer driving through these functions, Fujitsus'new technology also makes it possible to reduce the amount of cable required within the vehicle to achieve fast and high-quality image transmission of multiple images.
