The automotive sector is one of the most important economically, it not only generates direct employment, but also provides jobs to entire associated industry. Today, component manufacturers and suppliers face disruptive changes. Electronics, which plays a fundamental role in innovation, new companies technological giants, who claim their place sector; mentality consumers, opens towards other f...

Compact fluorescent and solid-state lights rapidly gain ground in the lighting market. Developments in the size, efficiency and reliability of these light sources are accompanied by advancements in the embedded electronics driving them. The long lifetime of these light sources requires that the electronics parts last at least equally long. The power transistor, a transistor specially designed t...

Historically, Computer Aided Design (CAD) research for digital electronics design has emphasized support for the largest and most technically difficult projects. However, the success of many embedded system design efforts depends more on system-level and lifecycle cost optimization than on an ability to synthesize hardware containing millions of transistors. Thus, existing CAD tools may not off...

h 0 A modern day vehicle might be seen as a complex system conainingmillions of lines of code running onmultiple microcontrollers reating a heterogeneous, deeply coupled networking system. Nowaays trends like V2X (Vehicle to Vehicle, Vehicle to Infrastructure, Veicle to Pedestrian), electric vehicles or self-driving cars are all based n software and electronics. These new features require new e...

Hiroki Funato, Dr. Eng. Jia Li, Dr. Eng. Masayoshi Takahashi, Dr. Eng. Isao Hoda Hideyuki Sakamoto Ryuichi Saito OVERVIEW: To ensure vehicle safety and comfort, there is a need to minimize interference due to electromagnetic noise from automotive electronics. While automotive manufacturers have stipulated EMC standards for this purpose that component suppliers are obliged to comply with, there ...

As service renders an increasing share of companies’ revenues and affects a product’s environmental performance, the effectiveness of the services carried out is important. The aim of this paper is to analyse the service information transfer in the service development process at two automotive companies in order to explore its inefficiencies, and to promote steps to make it more efficient in th...

Simple design of a rotary valve system is capable of controlling intake and exhaust gases, which will eliminate the need of known complex mechanisms. The cost of material and production, maintenance, and noise level of the system can be further reduced. The new mechanism enables the elimination of the overlapping of valves work that reduces gas leakage. This paper examines theoretically the gas...
