The Attraction of Na-Ion Lies in Its Composition Rather Than Its Performance, Finds IDTechEx

BOSTON, May 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Na-ion is probably the most prominent metal-ion battery chemistry outside of Li-ion, working via the same 'rocking chair' (where the alkali-ion shuttles from a non-metal anode to a cathode during discharge and vice versa during charge) principle of reversible cation intercalation, at a positive and negative electrode. Materials can also be similar to Li-ion, with metal oxides often used as the cathode and carbon-based materials as the anode. However, the carbon cannot be in the form of graphite as the size of Na+ is too large for intercalation, and in reality, material choices may differ significantly compared to Li-ion chemistries.

Key Points:

Materials can also be similar to Li-ion, with metal oxides often used as the cathode and carbon-based materials as the anode.
The three main families of cathode materials are the layered metal-oxides, polyanionic compounds, and Prussian blue analogs (PBA).
The great advantage of these compounds lies in their low molecular weight, which results in a high theoretical specific capacity.

Hanes cyfoethog Bannau Brycheiniog

Ar ei ben-blwydd yn 66, lansiodd Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog gynllun rheoli newydd.

Key Points:

Ar ei ben-blwydd yn 66, lansiodd Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog gynllun rheoli newydd.
Oherwydd mae’r parc hefyd wedi dewis defnyddio'r enw Bannau Brycheiniog yn lle “Brecon Beacons”.
Y gwahaniaeth yw mai Bannau Brycheiniog yw’r unig enw a gaiff ei ddefnyddio o hyn ymlaen.
Tua chyfnod John Leland, rydym yn aml yn gweld cyfeiriadau at Y Fan (mynydd unigol) a’r Bannau (casgliad o fynyddoedd).

Barddoniaeth

Yn y 15fed ganrif, aeth bardd o'r enw Ieuan Llawdden ati i foli Brycheiniog, ei afonydd, ei choed, ei seintiau, ei thrigolion, a’i mynyddoedd.
Ceir cyfeiriad at “tu yma i’r Banne” mewn cerdd gan fardd o’r enw Y Nant yn y 15fed ganrif.
Ond mae traddodiad amlwg o gyfeirio at fynyddoedd Brycheiniog fel “Y Bannau”, traddodiad sy’n ymestyn i’r 15fed ganrif o leiaf.

Teyrnas Ganoloesol

Roedd Brycheiniog yn deyrnas ganoloesol yn ne-ddwyrain Cymru.
Roedd yn gyffredin ychwanegu’r ôl-ddodiad -iog neu -ion at enw personol er mwyn dynodi “pobl”, “disgynyddion”, neu “tir”.
Beth bynnag yw hanes Brychan, felly, mae’n debygol bod cysylltiadau go iawn gydag Iwerddon wedi ysbrydoli’r chwedlau am ei gefndir.

Amddiffyn ac adfer

Yn fwy diweddar, mae sefydliadau megis Cymdeithas Enwau Lleoedd Cymru wedi bod yn gweithio i amddiffyn enwau lleoedd Cymraeg.
Yn wyneb yr argyfyngau hinsawdd a natur, mae gennym ni fynydd i’w ddringo i amddiffyn y dreftadaeth gyfoethog hon.

Asahi Kasei Microdevices launches new DC-DC step-up converter for efficient energy harvesting applications

Retrieved on:

Tuesday, February 28, 2023

Asahi Kasei Microdevices has launched the AP4473, a DC-DC step-up converter featuring the capability of boosting an input voltage of as low as 15 millivolts (mV) while maintaining an ultra-low power consumption of only 26 nanoamperes (nA).

Key Points:

Asahi Kasei Microdevices has launched the AP4473, a DC-DC step-up converter featuring the capability of boosting an input voltage of as low as 15 millivolts (mV) while maintaining an ultra-low power consumption of only 26 nanoamperes (nA).
This single-chip solution allows electricity generation from a minimal thermal energy source, such as body heat, while enabling overcharge prevention and power supply control with minimal energy consumption.
The switch disconnects the energy storage devices, such as capacitors, from the system, while its comparators automatically start and stop supplying power to the system.
The AP4473 is suitable for applications in beacons for asset tracking and asset monitoring, environmental monitoring and IoT sensor notes, as well as smartcards or IoT devices.

Advantest Announces New Versatile, High-Throughput Test Solution for NAND/Nonvolatile Flash Memory ICs

Retrieved on:

Monday, November 29, 2021

Worldwide sales of NAND wafer test equipment for multi-stacked type probers are approximately US$100 million per year, accounting for an estimated seven percent of the total memory market.

Key Points:

Worldwide sales of NAND wafer test equipment for multi-stacked type probers are approximately US$100 million per year, accounting for an estimated seven percent of the total memory market.
As the market grows, customers are shifting away from high-functionality wafer-sorting test equipment toward more cost-effective design-for-test (DFT) and BIST strategies using multi-probe systems.
The systems test stations do not add to the overall footprint because they are housed within the multi-wafer prober.
This allows the T5221 platform to use much less floor space than Advantests previous nonvolatile memory tester and a standalone prober.
