Camera monitoring is an essential element in every business; whether they are for inventory scanning, worker safety, loss prevention or general security. In the past cameras used analog signals transmitted on a coax infrastructure. With advancements in image quality, scalability, management features and costs, an increasing number of camera manufactures are switching to IP based cameras.Now, not only is the main network also taking on applications such as voice over IP, Skype, video conferencing, online radio and personal smart phones; but IP based cameras, which can be bandwidth intensive, are also put onto a company's main network. Antaira Technologies' industrial networking equipment is able to provide a more efficient architecture for applications that run on the enterprise network, such as security monitoring. Features such as multicasting with IGMP are able to improve the performance of a congested network. Other features, such as redundant rings can ensure that the edge-level of the network stays in operation even if a segment of the network is taken offline or damaged.IGMP resides within the IPv4 internet protocol domain and is very efficient in handling multicasting traffic, such as security camera monitoring, within a network. The requirement is that the routers and switches on the network are multicast capable and the video cameras and software support multicasting. IGMP with snooping is able to build a Group Destination Address (GDA) table of destination addresses and pathways to all of the devices on a network. This is done by the IGMP Querier occasionally sending a message to all layer 2 devices, requesting what multicast units or groups of units they are connected to. This way, when layer 2 switches or routers on the network receive information with a GDA, they can either send it to the intended device or drop the information if it is not intended for any devices connected to the switch. This reduces the amount of traffic going through the switches as well as preventing other devices on the network from processing information that is not intended for them.Whatever the application might be, big or small, improving the performance of the current networking infrastructure can be achieved by using IGMP with Snooping. Larger applications are able to achieve enhanced reliability when implementing different ring topologies within the network. Depending on the size and how the network is to be segmented, it can be beneficial to combine multiple types of rings. When multiple switches or rings are involved the effectiveness of the IGMP increases as compared to smaller networks. More switches provide more opportunities for broadcast and unicast traffic to slow the network down with unneeded flooding and retransmissions that can be prevented.Antaira Technologies' industrial networking equipment is able to provide a more efficient architecture for applications that run on the enterprise network, such as security monitoring.

In contrast to the maturing smartphone and tablet markets, the automotive electronics market continues to show promising growth. Leading inductor maker Chilisin is already delivering impressive sales figures in the mobile device market. As the use of inductors increases with smartphones migrating from 3G to 4G, Chilisin's mini molding chokes and 0201 high-frequency chip inductors have been met with excessive demand. However, in order to maintain a long term growth momentum, Chilisin has been actively pursuing the automotive electronics market and has been seeing significant results in recent years, which is expected to drive the next wave of growth.Automotive electronics market to show high growth potentialLet the numbers do the talking. According to a Gartner report, global tablet shipments in 2014 only reached 216 million units. An IDC research indicated worldwide tablet shipments grew from 144.5 million units in 2012 to 229.3 million units in 2013, up 58.7%. Growth of tablet shipments significantly slowed down in 2014, and is expected to increase only 8% in 2015. Automotive electronics, on the other hand, is a booming segment with production value estimated to grow from US$19.75 billion in 2013 to US$ 23.88 billion in 2015, according to Strategy Analytics.In face of massive growth potential in the automotive electronics market, Chilisin has laid the groundwork for a strong product portfolio focused on power inductors and molding chokes for the automotive sector. Notably, power inductors with magnetic shields are able to satisfy the low DC resistance and large current required by automotive power supply systems. Compared to traditional power inductors with base structures, Chilisin's SLF (closed magnetic circuit) power inductor series adopts a design without base so that costs are reduced by 15% while maintaining resistance properties superior to that of its traditional counterparts.Compatible new designs to overcome high market barriersChilisin's SLF power inductors are designed to be completely compatible with components supplied by Japanese players, who have long been dominating the automotive electronics segment. With this compatible layout design, automakers are able to seamlessly switch to Chilisin's SLF power inductors without having to modify their original circuit design. As opposed to consumer electronics, automotive component designs are rarely changed, and selection or replacement of suppliers usually undergoes long-term verification process. Because of this, it has been traditionally difficult for newcomers to penetrate the automotive electronics market. However, Chilisin has successfully overcome the high barrier of the automotive electronics market by offering product compatibility with mainstream products and setting competitive pricing strategies, states a Chilisin executive.In a similar fashion, Chilisin also provides innovative power molding chokes differentiated from traditional power inductors for engine start-stop systems. In contrast to regular molding chokes which are designed with wired pads, Chilisin's molding chokes are designed with lead frames to deliver superior vibration test performance, ideal weldability, and smoothness under the AEC-Q200 test standard. Several of Chilisin's power inductor series and chip ferrite beads are also in full compliance with the automotive industry's stringent requirements on electronic components and have obtained AEC-Q200 certification, which is a stress test standard for passive components used in automotive applications. Currently, Chilisin's products with AEC-Q200 qualification have been successfully approved by a number of world-class chipset design houses such as Broadcom.As the newest addition, Chilisin plans to expand its ultra-high efficiency inductor (UHEI) series and MTFA 2-in-1 inductor array products to automotive applications in order to offer the automotive industry alternative solutions with high efficiency and exceptional features.Revenue contribution from the automotive market on the riseCompared to consumer electronics which require light-weight, miniature components, automotive electronics demand reliability and endurance in extreme environments such as lasting durability at 150°C. Due to the fact that Chilisin has its own powder-making plant, Chilisin has been able to provide inductors that combine reliability and competitive cost structure. With this vertical integration into powder-mixing technology, Chilisin is able to offer various product specs and features in a timely manner to satisfy customer needs. Being self-reliant on the material-front has also helped Chilisin achieve competitive product pricing against its Japanese peers.A Chilisin executive states that Chilisin is actively focusing on several European, Asian, and American automakers and expects revenue growth from the automotive electronics market to rise to 5% this year from 3% in 2014. "The increase is still small, but it shows Chilisin's product portfolio strategy is beginning to bear fruit in the automotive market."

Although not in 80 days, the challenge faced by "iglidur on tour" for both team and car nevertheless calls for a trip around the world within a year. Since January of 2014, a compact car equipped with polymer plain bearings from the plastic specialist igus, has been on tour across more than 20 continents and three oceans, through deserts, snow, and tropical heat. This demonstration trip showcases the potential and durability of the Cologne-based company's motion plastics - plastics for motion control applications.Motion plastics - iglidur mass production materials for the automobile industryDecades of research and development in the industry's largest test lab for plastic components for motion control applications - e.g. "motion plastics" - has resulted in the mass production of 45 different, reliable iglidur materials, which are already used as plain bearings by the automobile industry more than 200 million times annually. Every second plain bearing made by igus is assembled in automobiles. The self-lubricating plastic blends are characterized by minimum friction and wear, and they are corrosion- and maintenance-free, and therefore have a particularly long service life. Since external lubrication with oil and grease can be avoided, the bearings do not contaminate the environment. The plain bearings are injection moulded and due to this are able to be flexibly adapted to any bearing location. Even for "iglidur on tour," customized solutions needed to be partially developed on the computer and manufactured from bar stock on a total of 56 bearing locations within a compact car where metal bearings were replaced by tribologically optimized plastic bearings. Ranging from the brake pedal, to windshield wipers, window cranks, parking brake, seat console, starter generator, to the choke valve - high-performance plastics were installed in all of these and are currently demonstrating vividly the varied applications, durability, and service life of iglidur.'iglidur on tour' connects peopleEvery kilometer the car travels during the tour will be converted into a donation towards a charitable organization within the corresponding country. In Taiwan for instance, igus Taiwan is supporting the "Eden Social Welfare Foundation" and "Maria Social Welfare Foundation" dedicated to helping anthropogeny delayed children. A detailed impression of the world tour can be seen at blog.igus.de/iglidurontour, with interesting images, videos, and reports. All routes and stop-overs, including trade fairs and customer visits, can be directly followed and commented on.On the Asia side of the tour, the orange-colored convertible travels through Asia's bustling megacities, such as Taipei.Photo: igus Gmbh

Competition in the LED market has been heating up with China-based LED firms aggressively integrating the whole supply chain vertically from chips to packaging to modules. China-based firms are able to provide one-stop-shop services and use low-price strategies to expand their presence in the LED application market. This is negatively impacting Taiwan's LED makers, especially small- and medium-size packaging and module firms, who are experiencing shrinking market share.Against this backdrop, Taiwan-based LED chipmaker Epistar began promoting Co-activation Service three years ago hoping to turn the tide by teaming up with Taiwan-based packaging and module firms.Virtual vertical integration of the supply chainThe core concept of Epistar's Co-activation Service is virtual vertical integration. In this business model, it is Epistar that mainly receives projects from clients and coordinates cooperation with other firms. "We will evaluate the project's needs, find the most suitable packaging and module firms that we can work with, and build an optimized supply chain for partners to sell the products or to provide OEM services," according to Ita Lin, associate vice president of Epistar's Marketing Center.In reality, due to issues concerning the company size, sales, marketing, and brand recognition, it is difficult for Taiwan-based small- and medium-size packaging or module firms to obtain orders from well-known lighting firms or mobile device backlighting suppliers. In contrast, Epistar is a world-leading LED chipmaker and has established a strong brand image and trust within the industry, allowing it to play a leading role in the virtual vertical integration for the Taiwan LED industry in its completion against others in the world.Lowering design barriers for end-market firmsLin added that "to facilitate this cooperation model and maximize the synergy in competition for orders from US- and Europe-based lighting fixture firms, Epistar has been expanding its electric control, industry design, and sales marketing teams, and has now become a supplier for brand-name vendors."However, Epistar mainly applies this strategy in the down lighting market and has been avoiding the light bulb market, which has become a pricing war zone. It has been pointed out that the ex-factory price for the mainstream mid-power 800-lumen LED light bulb has been falling from US$5-6/unit in 2013, to US$2.20-2.50/unit in 2014, and to US$1.80/unit in 2015. This means LED firms have an extremely low profit margin.The co-activation service introduced by Epistar not only integrates Taiwan's LED industry to compete with other regions, it also satisfies the demand of LED lighting fixture firms. Alexander Wang, director of Epistar's Marketing Center Segment Group, noted, "In the traditional lighting era, mechanical design was the most important part, and that was what lighting fixture firms were good at. But in the LED era, electronic design has become the center of lighting fixture development. This means it is difficult for traditional lighting firms to build their own products by integrating the components such as power supply they procure. They need to rely on suppliers to provide a total solution."HV DOB is popular in the marketDue to the demand aforementioned, Epistar currently relies on Co-activation Service to mainly promote driver on board (DoB) solutions with high-voltage (HV) chips. The one big advantage of HV chips is their ability to operate under HV direct current, hence in the process of turning alternative current (AC) into direct current (DC) there is no need to dramatically lower the voltage. This also means the chip does not require expensive drivers but can rely on linear driver circuits. In fact, in the 2014 Frankfurt Light + Building exhibition, some of Epistar's major customers such as Philips and other Europe- and US-based firms showcased HV linear lighting products.The DoB technology is to package power drivers directly onto the circuit board which can help minimize the size of the light source. This means the integration of HV chips into the DoB can greatly lower BoM costs and simplify designs. The DoB module introduced by the Co-activation Service provided by Epistar and its fellow partners can be immediately used after the lighting fixture firm takes delivery and puts two screws on it. This greatly lowers the entry barriers faced by traditional lighting fixture firms in the LED lighting market, and therefore this solution is quite popular.Flexible customized servicesIn addition, in the LED lighting fixture market, competition is mainly based on design differentiation and with Co-activation Service, Epistar can customize special designs for special needs and choose suitable packaging and module firms to join the project. This flexibility allows Epistar to provide lighting fixture firms with quick customized products and services.In addition to DoB, Co-activation Service has also expanded to many other products. More packaging and module firms have joined Co-activation Service due to its profit-sharing advantages. In the face of fast expansion by LED firms in other regions, the virtual vertical integration will help Taiwan's upstream and downstream LED firms to capture more business opportunities.

Environmental and legislative concerns are driving consumers away from products using solders that contain lead (Pb), including solders used in die-attach applications for analog semiconductor assembly. Indium Corporation's BiAgX solder paste technology is a high-melting, lead-free (Pb-free) solder paste technology that serves as a drop-in replacement for the high-Pb solders used in many high-reliability die-attach and electronics assembly applications.BiAgX can survive junction temperatures and high-temperature environments in excess of 175 degrees C with little degradation of the mechanical structure or other properties."BiAgX is the only low-cost, customer-proven, lead-free replacement solder paste that is able to survive J-STD-020 MSL reflow profiles (up to 260 degree C) in the final solder joint," said Indium Corporation's Andy C. Mackie, PhD, MSc, senior product manager for semiconductor and advanced assembly materials. "BiAgX has been qualified by customers at moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3 up to 1 per IPC/JEDEC Standard J-STD020. Customers are also ramping production to meet their customers' needs for a completely lead-free final assembly."BiAgX is suited for small, low-voltage QFN packages that are used in portable electronics (smartphones/tablets), automotive electronics, and industrial applications. It requires minimal process adjustments and no capital expenditures for customers converting from a standard high Pb-containing solder paste-based process. It is both Pb-free and Sb-free (lead and antimony) and does not contain costly specialty materials, such as nanosilver or sintering aids.BiAgX reflows, solders, wets, and solidifies just like any other solder paste, and is available in both dispense and printing forms. Flux residues are easily cleanable with standard cleaning chemistries and processes.For more information about BiAgX, including technical papers and other technical information, visit www.indium.com/BiAgX.For more information about Indium Corporation, visit www.indium.com or email abrown@indium.com.
