- Fujitsu Develops Hybrid Energy Harvesting Device for Generating Electricity from Heat and Light
Kawasaki, Japan, December 9, 2010 – Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. today announced that it has developed a new hybrid energy harvesting device that generates electricity from either heat or light. With this single device, it is possible to derive energy from two separate sources, which previously could only be handled by combining individual devices. Furthermore, because the cost of the hybrid device is economical, this technology paves the way to the widespread use of highly efficient energy harvesting devices. The new technology has great potential in the area of energy harvesting, which converts energy from the surrounding environment to electricity. Since there is no need for electrical wiring or battery replacements, this development could enable the use of sensors in previously unserved applications and regions. It also has great potential for powering a variety of sensor networks and medical-sensing technologies.

- Fujitsu Develops World's Highest-Performance Ultra-Low-Noise Transistor for Millimeter-Band Receivers
Tokyo and Kawasaki, Japan, June 3, 2010 – Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. today announced the development of an indium phosphide-based high electron mobility transistor (InP HEMT) using their proprietary "space cavity" structure that, operating at the millimeter-band frequency level of 94 GHz, reduces the noise level generated by the transistor by approximately 30% compared to previous technologies, to 0.7 decibels, resulting in the world's lowest noise levels. The novel noise-lowering technology will enable sensitivity enhancements in millimeter-band receivers, which in turn would enable the time required for image capture by image sensors - being deployed for anti-terrorist initiatives in major airports - to be reduced by nearly half. In addition, as the new technology can enable range extension by 20% of high-capacity wireless transmission distance on par with optical transmissions, wireless networks can be used in place of trunk lines in locations where it is difficult to install fiber-optic cabling, thereby helping to close the digital divide.

Kawasaki, Japan, February 12, 2010 – Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. today announced the development of a successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (A/D converter) that detects variations in electronic characteristics and automatically compensates for them, achieving performance on par with existing pipelined A/D converters, while reducing both the size and power consumption to one-tenth (1/10) that of previously-developed A/D converters. A/D converters often account for a large share of the total power consumed by digital equipment, and previous efforts to reduce their power demands had been challenging. Fujitsu's new technology will pave the way for system LSI devices for mobile phones and digital devices that will be smaller and more power-efficient, thus contributing to reducing the environmental burden attributable to such devices.

- Fujitsu and University of Toronto Develop High-Reliability Read-Method for Spin-Torque-Transfer MRAM, Next-Generation Non-Volatile Memory
Kawasaki, Japan and Toronto, Canada, February 10, 2010 – Fujitsu Laboratories Limited and the University of Toronto today announced that they have jointly developed the world's first high-reliability read-method for use with spin-torque-transfer (STT) MRAM that is insusceptible to erroneous writes. STT MRAM is regarded as a potential future form of non-volatile memory that could be used as an alternative to flash memory. NOR flash memory that is embedded in microcontrollers widely used in mobile phones and other electronic devices is expected to reach the limits of its feasible miniaturization in the near future, which has led to the search for an alternative low-power non-volatile memory that will allow continued necessary miniaturization. By resolving one of the major obstacles to using STT MRAM, Fujitsu and the University of Toronto's new read-method marks a major step towards the practical implementation of STT MRAM as a necessary replacement for flash memory, in view of future requirements that will be necessary for compact and low-power electronic devices.

- Fujitsu and University of Toronto Develop World's First Digitally-Processed Gigabit-Class High-Speed Transceiver Chip
Kawasaki, Japan and Toronto, Canada, February 10, 2010 – Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. and the University of Toronto today announced their joint development of a new processing method for transceiver chips used in gigabit-class high-speed data transmission over wirelines. The new technology employs digital circuitry to replace previously-required structures that used analog circuits. While analog processing require circuits that are adapted to the specifications of a signal being transmitted, such as transmission distance and amplitude, this new digital approach can perform these optimizations automatically, so that a single circuit could be used to accommodate a wide range of various wireline communications. Compared to conventional processing methods, this new digital-processing method makes it possible to shorten development periods by approximately half. It is anticipated that this new technology in the future could be applied to a variety of wireline communication applications, including 10 Gbps high-speed Ethernet in datacenters.
