GT Solar International, a global provider of polysilicon production technology, sapphire and silicon crystalline growth systems, and materials for the solar, LED and other specialty markets, has announced that it has shipped its 3,000th DSS multicrystalline ingot growth furnace. Taiwan-based Gigastorage will install the milestone system, a DSS450HP, in its multicrystalline wafer production facility in Hsinchu."Achieving the milestone shipment of our 3,000th DSS ingot growth furnace is a testimony to the reliability and longevity of our DSS architecture that continues to deliver sustained value to customers eight years after its market introduction," said Tom Gutierrez, president and chief executive officer of GT Solar. "We are pleased to recognize Gigastorage Corporation, a valued GT customer, as the recipient of our 3,000th DSS furnace."GT Solar introduced its first DSS crystallization system, the DSS240, in 2003. The DSS architecture was designed to accommodate future advancements in crystalline growth process technology. The latest generation DSS650, which the GT Solar announced in January 2011, continues to delivering higher levels of productivity and efficiency while lowering the cost of manufacturing. The DSS240 was capable of producing multicrystalline ingots of 240 kilograms. That same customer could upgrade those DSS240 furnaces to the DSS650 level of performance with minor equipment and process changes and start producing ingots greater than 625 kilograms.

Along with the significant amount of sales for portable devices such as smartphones, tablet PCs, fast-speed charging via USB port requirement is more and more critical now. So Fintek has launched a series of products, the F75200 / F75201 and F75202 (F7520X), to meet this kind of charging requirement recently. These devices support most of the USB charging specifications all around the world. The F7520X are all compliant with the USB Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.2, China YD/T 1591-2009 standard, and also compliant with all Apple portable devices charging standard. These devices allow the handheld devices to charge via the USB port even the host (computer) is in the Sleep or Power Off mode.Featuring the digital input mode selection pin, the F7520X series could change between the transmission and auto detect charger modes. In addition, the built-in charger identification circuit allows the F7520X series to automatically detect and identify the plugged-in portable devices correctly for drawing the accurate and sufficient current.The F7520X series operate at a temperature range from 0 degrees C to +70 degrees C, with low power consumption of 1.6mW and available in 8-pin MSOP/SOT23 package. With the suitable application circuit these devices could support ErP compliance features too. These devices have enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection on the DP and DM inputs for the hot plug application. The F7520X series are best suited for PC, all-in-one (AIO) and notebook in vehicle charging, USB wall adapter, mobile power supply, docking station and other charging accessories.Fintek is planning to launch an enhanced product featuring a power switch by the end of 2011. That device could save the power switch cost and support "charge everywhere" application.Please visit the link for more detail information: http://www.fintek.com.tw/Fintek to exhibit USB charging solutions at Computex 2011Photo: Company

NS Micro Motor Technology, a specialist of DC brushless fans, will present at Computex 2011 a series of standardized and customized fans that meet customers' every PC and industrial cooling solution. NS TECH will be at Nangang Exhibition Hall, 1F, Booth No. K1110.NS TECH offers fans with square size from 25mm to 120mm, thickness from 8mm to 38mm, and various voltage designs from 3.3V to 60V. NS TECH's fans can be roughly divided into standardized and customized ones, with standardized fans mainly for application in desktop and industrial PCs and customized fans mainly for notebooks and home appliances, such as Blu-ray players and TV set-top boxes, according to Leon Wang, senior supervisor at NE STECH.For standardized products, NS TECH has applied the concept of modularization to optimize product design, and the results are lower power products, Wang said, adding that NS TECH 's stable manufacturing process has also ensured longer product life and better quality stability.Based on the low power design, NS TECH will expand its product series, including customized fans and high-end standardized fans for servers and industrial PCs, scheduled to be released this year.Besides making standardized DC fans, customization also makes up a big portion of NS TECH's business. "As a medium capacity fan manufacturer, NS TECH has the advantages of flexibility and quick response to customers' requirements. We introduced some mechanism to assist design, including CNC and quick sample service for early testing. With these, we are confident to make products that can guarantee high customer satisfaction while meeting customers' schedule," said Wang.With regards to DC fans for trendy tablet PCs, Wang said, "As tablet PCs evolve into more powerful and sophisticated devices, their CPUs will run at a high speed and will require fans to dissipate the heat. At the moment, we are working with major system vendors in Taiwan to design fans that will meet their requirements for new tablet PCs. The three major requirements are of course being thin, low power and quiet."NS TECH is also developing a product line for motors in POS systems and will increase its presence on the industrial market, according to Wang.

Global Lighting Technologies (GLT) has combined its edge-lit LED light guide technology with extensive Far East mass production capabilities to create a new and improved troffer downlight that is more efficient (60 lm/W), brighter (2500 lumens), offers four different color temperatures, and uses fewer LEDs. The new troffer downlight assembly is 24"/60cm square and approximately 0.43"/10.9mm thick and weighs 3.5kg. It is edge-lit using only 100 LEDs, which represents a decrease of approximately 70% from previous versions. 50 LEDs are spaced along on each of two sides of the troffer assembly against the ultra-slim (3.5 mm thick) light guide, which uses advanced light extraction features to spread light across the troffer surface with perfect uniformity for bright, uniform illumination in a thinner form factor without hot spots or dark areas. Power consumption is only 40W, and the new troffer offers a high CRI (color rendering index) of ≥80. Customers can select from four different color temperatures ranging from 3000K (warm white) to 6000-6500K (cool, bluish white). According to GLT, illuminating this type of ceiling light with traditional fluorescent tube technology would have resulted in an assembly up to 5 inches thick. GLT's edge-lighting approach yields a much slimmer, more lightweight, higher intensity backlight with an LED lifetime of 30,000 hours. And, with four production facilities in China and Taiwan, GLT brings the advantages of mass production to a product that heretofore has been an expensive "one-off" where the light guide has had to be manufactured for each troffer. Now they can be manufactured in the thousands with no differentiation from piece to piece. Since LEDs contain no mercury, the edge-lit troffer is an environmentally friendly solution as well. It also reduces maintenance and power consumption and, when compared to a direct backlighting approach using LED arrays, minimizes thermal management issues as well as the number of LEDs required for efficient, uniform light dispersion. Pricing for GLT edge-lit troffer backlights varies according to size, application, number of LEDs and quantity. Contact GLT for details: info@glthome.com or visit: http://www.glthome.com/.
