Kyocera has developed a new fine ceramic with a color that closely resembles 18-karat gold. The material has been created by raising the brightness level approximately 5% (approx. 3.6 points) above previous gold ceramic products. The three inherent attributes of color are luminosity, hue and saturation. Luminosity refers to the visually perceived brightness or darkness of a color as a percentage. In developing the new gold fine ceramic material, Kyocera increased the luminosity of its previous gold fine ceramic – one of 18 colored fine ceramics provided by Kyocera – while retaining the material’s outstanding hardness. This made it possible to more closely recreate the texture and color of 18-karat gold.

The new gold fine ceramic is a sophisticated addition to Kyocera’s lineup of colored ceramics that are used as decorative materials for watches, mobile phones and other premium accessories. Kyocera will pursue upscale applications for the elegant gold material in new markets worldwide

Hynix has developed a new cost-effective NAND flash memory that is 30 percent smaller than the chips currently in widespread use. The 32-gigabyte memory, developed using the company’s “triple-level-cell” technology, allows much higher data storage than the widely-used NAND flash memories of multi-level cells and is expected to cut the cost of production.

The new Hynix NAND flash memory can store up to 8,000 MP3 music files or 20 high-definition feature-length movie files. Hynix plans to begin mass production of the new chip in October.

NHK on Wednesday unveiled a new system to put hidden identifiers into films to trace counterfeit works distributed over the Internet. The system, developed with Mitsubishi Electric Corp, consists of highly detailed electronic signals which are put inside films and other visual works but invisible to the human eye. If a person copies the film at a cinema or in front of a television screen, his or her camera will automatically tape the signal which will stay in the machine’s memory. Automatic software can then search the Internet using the coded signal to find any works that have been illegally copied. The code can also help authorities trace the exact cinema and screening at which the person illegally taped a film.

The signal will stay and can be traced, even if only part of the image is put on line. NHK or Japan Broadcasting Corporation is Japan’s public broadcaster. Today it operates two terrestrial television services (NHK General TV and NHK Educational TV), three satellite services (NHK BS-1, NHK BS-2, and NHK Hi-Vision – High-definition TV), and three radio networks.
