    LEDs for Medical Germicidal Lamps from Nitride Semiconductor

    The inactivation of bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, influenza virus and norovirus has already been verified at the virus center of the Sendai Medical Center of the National Hospital Organization (Miyagino Ward, Sendai City). The company plans to test the system on a new type of corona within the next month. UV and mercury lamps are used as germicidal lamps in medical facilities. However, UV lamps have a short life span and are easily broken, and the Minamata Convention on Mercury, an international regulation, will ban the manufacture, import and export of mercury-based lighting from 2021. Against this background, the spread of high-output deep UV LEDs is expected in the future. Photo taken on March 30, 2020 (location unknown), credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images

      Towa Electric Industry's 6-kilowatt charger for electric vehicles

      Towa Electric Industry (Kita Ward, Okayama City), in cooperation with Wako Denken (Yao City, Osaka Prefecture), has commercialized a low-cost 6-kilowatt battery charger for electric vehicles (EVs). The total price (excluding consumption tax) is about 200,000 yen if installation work is also undertaken, which is about half the cost of installing a standard 6-kilowatt charger. The battery can be recharged in 12.5 hours with Nissan's LEAF e+ EV, halving the recharging time compared to a 3-kilowatt charger. Towa Electric Industry is engaged in the maintenance of power generation facilities, telecommunications work, and electrical work for stores in Okayama and Hiroshima prefectures. "In April 2018, the company launched its first product, a light-emitting diode (LED) lighting system for large facilities such as factories, with the aim of expanding its peripheral businesses related to electricity.
