Announcement of the Launch of the EV-Related Analysis Case Study Page

Evaluation of valence, coordination number, and interatomic distance of cathode materials through XAFS analysis.

In recent years, as hybrid and electric vehicles have been becoming more widespread, there is a growing demand for larger and higher-performance lithium-ion secondary batteries for their power supply. To develop high-capacity positive electrode materials, it is crucial to identify the correlation between composition, structure, and electrochemical properties. By clarifying the electronic states of metal elements and their local structures in positive electrode materials through XAFS analysis using synchrotron radiation, it is possible to gain insights into the correlation between composition, structure, and electrochemical properties.

It is possible to estimate the structure of liquid crystal molecules in liquid crystal displays using GC/TOFMS.

The response speed, driving voltage, and reliability characteristics of liquid crystal panels are attributed to the molecular structure of the liquid crystals. Therefore, analyzing the details of the molecular structure is essential for controlling the display characteristics of liquid crystal panels. Here, we introduce a case where the liquid components in commercially available panels were extracted and structurally estimated using GC/TOFMS. Approximately 10 components, including liquid crystal materials that exhibit negative dielectric anisotropy, were estimated from precise mass information. Measurement method: GC/MS Product fields: Displays, televisions, projectors Analysis objectives: Market research, molecular structure evaluation, degradation investigation For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Identification of failure locations using an emission microscope with a high voltage power supply.

By overlaying the luminescent image and the IR image, it is possible to identify leak locations under microscopic observation. If there are large-scale appearance anomalies such as cracks or electrostatic breakdown, abnormalities can also be confirmed with an IR microscope. Additionally, if luminescence cannot be detected due to light shielding of the emitter electrode, the collector electrode is removed, and near-infrared light is detected from the collector side. An example is presented where a high-voltage power supply capable of applying up to 2000V is used to operate a power device with high voltage resistance and low leakage current, and the failure location is identified using an emission microscope.

Contec has added a BTO menu for the Windows 11-based embedded OS - Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 to its industrial computer "MR4310 series" and has started accepting orders.

Contec has developed the Ethernet wireless converters "RP-WAH-SR12" and "RP-WAH-SR22," which utilize 920MHz sub-gigahertz wireless (IEEE 802.11ah) to enable Ethernet communication wirelessly even at distances of up to 1 km. Sales began on August 21, 2025. The new products are compact IEEE 802.11ah compliant wireless LAN converters that can be installed in various locations. The new Wi-Fi standard "IEEE 802.11ah," which utilizes sub-gigahertz wireless communication, became available in Japan in September 2022. It operates in the 920MHz band without the need for a license and can be used outdoors. Compared to conventional 920MHz wireless communication, it enables high-speed communication and the establishment of long-distance networks, making it expected to be utilized in large factories, plants, and farms. The new Ethernet wireless converters are designed to be lightweight and compact, allowing for installation in various locations such as walls and DIN rails with the included mounting brackets. Additionally, they support external antennas, enabling the construction of flexible wireless LAN systems.

Contec has developed a super compact business computer equipped with the Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra processor (Series 1), and has started accepting orders for the business computer "LPC-500 Series" (hereinafter referred to as the new product) from August 28, 2025. The new product is a super compact business computer featuring the Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 5 processor 125U (Series 1, Meteor Lake-U). It is equipped with "Intel(R) AI Boost," which integrates an NPU into the CPU, allowing for the execution of AI functions such as image recognition and voice processing at high speed and low power consumption while reducing the load on the CPU and GPU. With ultra-compact dimensions of 150(W) × 150(D) × 33(H) mm, it comes with a vertical stand and VESA mounting brackets, enabling installation in tight spaces on desks, behind displays, or inside equipment without restriction. It adopts a BTO (Build to Order) method that allows customers to freely choose memory capacity, storage, OS, and more, enabling the order of a PC with specifications optimal for their needs and budget starting from just one unit.
