NEC,Japan announced the launch of new personal solutions on Japan under a new brand “Lui,” toward PC-based digital lifestyles. Based on the new brand concept, NEC has launched a new generation of home server/client solutions that enable centralized management of digital contents in the home (e.g., video, music, and photos) on a home server PC, which will allow the user to enjoy contents on a PC or other terminal in any room in the house.

The home server PC can also be operated remotely from a compact, light weight, special terminal via the Internet or a home network. Coined from “Life with Ubiquitous Integrated Solutions,” the new brand Lui will anticipate new ways to use PCs and digital devices in advanced network environments, and will support new business for digital lifestyles in an era of ubiquitous technologies.

NEC plans to release the first products realizing these solutions in the first half of 2008 in Japan. These products will include the home server PC, the core of the home network, and two compact, light weight special client terminals: a PC Remoter Notebook type and a PC Remoter Pocket type.

NEC has developed a wireless camera that can be powered from a fluorescent light by simply attaching a ring-shaped component for power acquisition to the bulb. The camera only requires fluorescent lighting equipment with a straight bulb to provide a video system without the necessity for a power supply installation work. Sharp unveiled the power supply technology used in this wireless camera in January 2006. Based on the electromagnetic induction, the camera obtains power by using the magnetic field generated by the AC source (45-100kHz) in the fluorescent light. Basically, the new NEC wireless camera is operable at 120mW. It is provided with a function to automatically adjust the frequency of shooting video in response to the power supply from the fluorescent light. The function makes it possible to shoot and transmit images in the optimum quality with the use of any commercially-available inverter fluorescent light with a straight bulb while eliminating the need of manually adjusting the power consumption of the camera.

The NEC wireless camera powered from a fluorescent light shoots images every 10 seconds. It supports VGA (640 x 480), QVGA (320 x 240) and QQVGA (160 x 120) resolutions. An IEEE802.11b-compliant wireless LAN is employed for the image transmission. The NEC camera will be exhibited at iExpo2007 in Tokyo Big Sight from Dec 5-7, 2007.

NEC has succeeded in developing a new SRAM compatible MRAM that can operate at 250MHz, the world’s fastest MRAM operation speed. MRAM is expected to be the dominant next-generation memory technology as it realizes ultra fast operation speeds, nonvolatility - ability to retain data with the power off, and unlimited write endurance. Verification at the SRAM speed level proves that the newly-developed MRAM could be embedded in system LSIs as SRAM substitutes in the future. Incorporating a memory cell with two transistors, one magnetic tunnel junction, and a newly-developed circuit scheme, the new design achieves an operation speed of 250MHz; double that of conventional MRAMs and almost equivalent to that of recent LSI-embedded SRAM.

MRAM are expected to generate new value and applications for future electronic devices thanks to their nonvolatility, unlimited write endurance, high speed operation, and ability to cut memory power dissipation in half. As substitutes for system LSI-embedded SRAM, MRAM can provide even more value as they are expected to enable extremely low power dissipation of system LSIs because they can sleep when they are not in use and wake up instantly.
