technology transfer for high frequency devices for Consumer Electronics
IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, 1992Co-Authors: S WatanabeAbstract:Considerations for high-volume production on the order of millions of devices per month for Consumer Electronics are different from those for small- and medium-scale production and high-end telecommunication, instrumentation, or military applications. The keys to technology transfer are also different. These issues are illustrated by investigating examples of successful technology transfer of high-frequency devices at Sony. The author's opinion regarding some future applications of high-frequency devices in Consumer Electronics are presented. A proposal for global industrial collaboration to bring these products to a sufficient level of maturity for widespread use is made. >

Technology transfer of high frequency devices for Consumer Electronics; concerns and expectations
IEEE 1992 Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Monolithic Circuits Symposium Digest of Papers, 1992Co-Authors: S WatanabeAbstract:The author discusses some of the past examples of technology transfer for Consumer Electronics. Historical cases are presented for investigating the key issues in transferring high-frequency technology to mass production for Consumer applications. Examples of successful technology transfer of high-frequency devices at the Sony Corporation are used to illustrate these issues. The author's opinion regarding the future of high-frequency devices in Consumer Electronics is also presented.

Consumer Electronics recall support system by search of product user and improvement of recall notice
International Symposium on Consumer Electronics, 2011Co-Authors: Hiroki Miyata, Masahiro InoueAbstract:Recently, recall of Consumer Electronics product has increased. Currently, second hand digital Consumer Electronics market in Japan has expanded to several billion yen every year. The second hand market will be expected to expand further in future. This study focuses on the second hand Consumer Electronics market. There are recall problems in a second hand sale or a borrowing. This study proposes recall support system by search of product user and improvement of recall notice. The system automatically process owning product information at a time of transferring and borrowing product. The effectiveness of proposed system was evaluated by comparison of previous studies and a proposed method.

Home network system supporting Consumer Electronics recall
IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, 2009Co-Authors: Hokuto Nawasaki, Hiroyuki Oono, Masahiro InoueAbstract:In recent years, Consumer product recall has been increased. Since products are not traced to home, there is no sure method to inform each Consumer of specific recall. We investigate the issue of product recall with Quality Function Deployment and propose a network system which supports Consumer Electronics recalls by connecting recall information servers to a home network system. The system detects the recalled Consumer Electronics, informs Consumer of recall, and controls products for safety.

swap space management technique for portable Consumer Electronics with nand flash memory
IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, 2010Co-Authors: Ohhoon KwonAbstract:Flash memory has more capacity and a lower price. It makes flash memory more suitable for portable Consumer Electronics. Portable Consumer Electronics such as table PC and smart phones use NAND flash memory as a secondary storage because it has many attractive features such as small size, fast access speeds, and light weight. The portable Consumer Electronics with NAND flash memory exploit a "demand paging" to run applications, and also use a "swapping" to extend a limited main memory space. However, if the portable Consumer Electronics use NAND flash memory as swap space, it should perform garbage collection, which is a time-consuming operation. Therefore, in order to manage swap space efficiently, this work presents a novel garbage collection policy for the portable Consumer Electronics with a swap system. The proposed policy has three features important in NAND flash memory based swap systems: (1) long endurance of NAND flash memory, (2) quick garbage collection, and (3) low energy consumption.

Life cycle assessments of Consumer Electronics — are they consistent?
The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 2010Co-Authors: Anders S. G. Andrae, Otto AndersenAbstract:Background, aim, and scope During the last decades, the Electronics industry has undergone tremendous changes due to intense research leading to advanced technology development. Multiple life cycle assessment (LCA) studies have been performed on the environmental implications of Consumer Electronics. The aim of this review is to assess the consistency between different LCA studies for desktop computers, laptop computers, mobile phones and televisions (TVs). Materials and methods A literature study was conducted covering some key LCA contributions to the Consumer Electronics field. The focus is primarily on global warming potential during 100 years (GWP100) efficiency in different life cycle phases and secondarily on primary energy usage/electricity usages which are normalised per year to find inconsistencies. Results The life cycle impact assessment GWP100 results for Consumer Electronics over the years suggest that most studies are of comparable quality; however, some studies are neither coherent nor transparent. Published LCAs for mobile phone and TV sets are consistent, whereas for laptop and desktop computers, the studies occasionally give conflicting messages. Discussion The inconsistencies appear to be rooted in subjective choices and different system boundaries and lifetime, rather than lack of standardisation. If included, the amounts of emissions of sulphur hexafluoride (SF_6) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF_3) are crucial to the GWP100 in the various life cycle phases for a desktop using liquid crystal display (LCD) screen. Another important observation is that the MEEuP methodology report/tool underestimates the GWP100 of electronic component manufacturing processes. Conclusions Between 1997 and 2010, the ISO 14040/44 standards have ensured a rather consistent set of GWP100 results for the studied products. However, the lack of transparency for Consumer Electronics LCAs sometimes makes benchmarking difficult. It is nevertheless possible to compare new LCA calculations to existing studies. It is also possible to reveal which product studies are consistent with studies of submaterials and subcomponents. In most cases, the GWP100 results for Consumer Electronics are consistent. Based on the survey of published work, recycling and other end-of-life processes have a tiny share of the total GWP100 score for Consumer Electronics. Recommendations and perspectives LCA researchers should as a rule, if possible, make a historical survey of their technical system to establish trends, proportions and relations. Policy makers ought to ask for these surveys when using LCAs for decision support. This charter is necessary as to understand the reasonableness of the results. Additions to the ISO14040/44 LCA standardisation for mass–volume products would be worthwhile as a means of increasing the consistency.

of Consumer Electronics into Motor Vehicles
2010Co-Authors: J.c. TracyAbstract:Trends in Consumer e1ec:tronics greatly influence the electronic content of the automobile. This report will focus on entertainment and communications systems, people as sensory input:/out devices, and key technologies that will enable Consumer Electronics to be integrated into the vehicle. Vehicle Electronics in the ’80’s concentrated on the electronic control, management, and integration of mechanical subsystems. The explosive growth in engine :ontrols, anti-lock brakes I(ABS), and transmission management systems makes that emphasis understandable :ven as the industry perspective shifts. Given the pace of change in technology and automotive Electronics, it is difficult to comprehend the character of ‘he vehicle of the year 2010. Elut it is likely that the next {seneration automobile will be laden with Consumer Electronics.
