Kyoto Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (President and CEO Tsuneo Takahashi, Head office: Fushimi-ku, Kyoto city), a leading optical device solution manufacturer with world-class technologies and Japanese quality, has announced the new KP-M monitor photodiode, KPDE008LS-A-RA-HQ.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20211129005809/en/
KP-M monitor photodiodes are used to monitor the laser output of optical communication equipment.
Higher quality devices are required as the expansion of digital transformation and 5G communications progresses. The "KPDE008LS-A-RA-HQ" has achieved higher quality by adding the probing process at higher temperature.
- A new wafer prober*1 has been introduced to inspect the electrical characteristics of semiconductor wafers while heated to high temperatures. This allows the inspection to test the temperature (T=75℃) close to the absolute maximum rated value of the operating temperature of the product. Since the full inspection is implemented to wafers with this prober, higher quality products under higher temperatures can be realized.
- Then the sample inspection is conducted by wafer and the sampled products are sent to the burn-in test. The samples are heated up to the high temperature of 175℃ and their performance are inspected. If any of the sample products does not meet the standard, all the products on the same wafer are not shipped. This screening by wafer enables us to offer higher quality products.
Mass production of the KP-M monitor photodiode "KPDE008LS-A-RA-HQ" is scheduled to start on December 1, 2021.

"Det meste af vores arbejde udfører vi for datterselskaber af multinationale virksomheder, der opererer i Argentina, hvor de regulatoriske rammer kræver dømmekraft – ikke kun compliance," udtalte Darío H. Díaz, managing partner hos Fidem Partners. "Samarbejdet med Andersen Global giver vores kl
Blue Matter Launches Behavioral Science Center of Excellence to Decode and Predict Health Care Decisions in a Rapidly Evolving Biopharma Landscape30.9.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
Blue Matter today announced the launch of its Behavioral Science Center of Excellence (BeSci CoE), a specialized capability within the Blue Matter Insights primary market research team. The CoE applies behavioral science as a strategic lens to decode the “why” behind the decisions made by healthcare professionals, patients, care partners, and other stakeholders. Biopharma decisions hinge on knowing why customers do what they do. Traditional research does a good job of capturing what stakeholders say but often misses the unconscious drivers, biases, emotions, and contexts that shape behavior. The result is an incomplete picture in the moments where clarity matters most, including when developing positioning strategies, planning product launches, and making major lifecycle decisions. "You don't need a survey to tell you that physicians see efficacy as the most important treatment decision driver," said Andrew Pilecki, Ph.D., Senior Market Research Director at Blue Matter. "What our clien
Blackfuel Emerges From Stealth with More Than $250 Million in Contracted Revenue to Build a Global AI Token Grid30.9.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
First deployment scheduled to enter service in 2026, combining industrial-scale infrastructure, proprietary inference software and long-term customer commitments. Blackfuel today emerged from stealth with more than $250 million in contracted revenue under multi-year customer agreements, unveiling its ambition to build a global AI Token Grid. Pioneering the AI Token Grid, Blackfuel is building a network of architecture-specific accelerator clusters connected through a common software and commercial layer, designed to turn dedicated compute into measurable, reservable AI output. By collaborating with AMD and NTT DATA, Blackfuel is developing its European-operated inference capacity, beginning with a GPU cluster currently being delivered in Europe. "The cloud was built around virtual machines. The next infrastructure layer will be built around tokens. We are building Blackfuel to become one of the world's defining AI compute companies, starting with our first deployments in Europe. That m
934 Embeds Bluefin Payment Security into Juno to Advance Secure, Connected Hospitality Payments30.9.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
Partnership brings PCI-validated P2PE and tokenization into 934’s connected hospitality payment infrastructure Bluefin, a global leader in payment and data security, and 934, a global provider of connected payment technology for the hospitality industry, today announced a partnership to integrate Bluefin’s payment security capabilities into Juno, 934’s hospitality payment platform. Hospitality businesses increasingly operate across connected payment environments spanning hotels, restaurants, resorts and other guest experiences. Behind those interactions are multiple systems, workflows and payment technologies that must work together while protecting sensitive payment data. Juno is designed to connect those experiences through a unified hospitality payment environment. By incorporating Bluefin’s security technology into the platform architecture, 934 can provide customers globally with access to PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) for card-present payments and tokenization fo
Visioneering Technologies' New Contact Lens Trial Shows Landmark Results in Slowing Children's Nearsightedness30.9.2026 14:59:00 CEST | Press release
Completed three-year PROTECT randomized controlled trial finds NaturalVue Multifocal 1 Day contact lens slowed myopia progression by 1.06 diopters and eye elongation by 0.58 mm at 36 months.1,2 Visioneering Technologies, Inc. (VTI), a medical device company that designs and markets specialty contact lenses, will announce completed three-year results from PROTECT, a prospective, double-masked, multinational randomized controlled trial evaluating the company's NaturalVue® (etafilcon A) Multifocal 1 Day Contact Lens for slowing the progression of myopia, or nearsightedness, in children. Ashley Tuan, OD, MS, PhD, VTI's Chief Medical Officer, will present the full findings at the American Academy of Optometry's annual meeting in Anaheim. Myopia develops when a child's eye grows too long, causing distant objects to appear blurry, and it typically worsens through childhood. Faster progression is associated with a higher lifelong risk of more serious eye conditions, including retinal detachmen
