Infineon has secured a favourable ITC GaN ruling. The decision concerns gallium nitride patents, import and sales restrictions, and the growing commercial weight of wide-bandgap power semiconductors in high-efficiency systems.
Samtec has added through-hole options to mPOWER connectors. The ultra-micro power interconnect family targets high-current, space-constrained designs requiring stronger mechanical retention in industrial, aerospace, and military environments.
ams OSRAM has introduced infrared LEDs for vehicle cabins. The OSLON Black IR:6 C-Series targets driver monitoring, occupant detection, and child presence sensing while reducing visible red glow at 940nm.
ESA is expanding Arctic sensor infrastructure in Finnish Lapland. The Sodankylä supersite will add radiometry, greenhouse gas sensing, and airborne survey capability to strengthen satellite calibration and validation across Arctic and boreal environments.
