DuraTech Industries Licenses TactoTek® Technology to Sell, Design and Produce Injection Molded Structural Electronics (IMSE®), Creates North America Supply Chain for IMSE Solutions OULU, FINLAND/LACROSSE, WISCONSIN, USA (XX April 2022) – TactoTek® (www.tactotek.com), the Finland-based company that develops Injection Molded Structural Electronics (IMSE®) technology, and DuraTech Industries (“DuraTech”, www.DuraTech.com) announced that DuraTech has licensed TactoTek IMSE technology. DuraTech is a TactoTek Design and Innovate licensee with rights to sell, design, and produce parts that use TactoTek’s intellectual property which includes 44 patent families with over 130 granted patents, as well as extensive trade secrets and know-how for designing and producing IMSE parts. DuraTech will create and deliver IMSE solutions for its customers in North America and around the world from production facilities in the USA. DuraTech has a long history as a high-quality manufacturer of in-mold printed electronics (IME). Their IME solutions have resonated with a range of markets including home appliances, medical, industrial, automotive and consumer electronics. TactoTek IMSE technology is an advanced form of IME that incorporates electronic components such as LEDs for illumination, and system-in-package (SiP) electronics for intelligence, within 3D injection molded structures, expanding the capabilities and use cases for smart surfaces. According to Peter Johnson, President of DuraTech, “...

MIT engineers have developed a paper-thin loudspeaker that can turn any surface into an active audio source. This thin-film loudspeaker produces sound with minimal distortion while using a fraction of the energy required by a traditional loudspeaker. The hand-sized loudspeaker the team demonstrated, which weighs about as much as a dime, can generate high-quality sound no matter what surface the film is bonded to. To achieve these properties, the researchers pioneered a deceptively simple fabrication technique, which requires only three basic steps and can be scaled up to produce ultrathin loudspeakers large enough to cover the inside of an automobile or to wallpaper a room. Used this way, the thin-film loudspeaker could provide active noise cancellation in clamorous environments, such as an airplane cockpit, by generating the sound of the same amplitude but opposite phase; the two sounds cancel each other out. The flexible device could also be used for immersive entertainment, perhaps by providing three-dimensional audio in a theater or theme park ride. And because it is lightweight and requires such a small amount of power to operate, the device is well-suited for applications on smart devices where battery life is limited. “It feels remarkable to take what looks like a slender sheet of paper, attach two clips to it, plug it into the headphone port of your computer, and start hearing sounds emanating from it. It can be used anywhere. One just needs a smidgeon of electrical p...

Speaker: Benjamin Park | Company: Enevate Corporation | Date: 9-10 Feb 2022 | Full Presentation Why bother with fast charge for EV batteries? Charge rate goes beyond driver convenience - it addresses core EV adoption issues such as addressing the fact that only 20% of cars have access to overnight charging, fast charging helps improve existing infrastructure utilization, and it supports drivers becoming more comfortable with less expensive vehicles that have shorter range lowering the price for those vehicles. Enevate is a battery technology company supplying breakthrough Extreme Fast Charge Technology with its pure silicon-dominant cells that are solving these crucial EV adoption issues.

Speaker: Zheng Cui | Company: Printable Electronics Research Center China| Date: 10-11 March 2021 | Full Presentation A hybrid printing approach is presented for making embedded metal mesh as transparent conductive film, with the lowest sheet resistance of 0.03ohm/sq. while still maintaining 86% transparency. Roll-to-roll mass manufacturing of the metal mesh transparent conductive films have been realized for touch panels which have been commercialized in a number brand name display devices. The high surface conductivity of embedded metal mesh also opened up a number other applications in addition to touch panels, such as transparent EMI shielding, transparent heating, wearable thermal healing and high density flexible circuits, etc. Join TechBlick on an annual pass to join all live online conference or online version of onsite conference access library of on-demand talks (600 talks + PDFs) portfolio of expert led masterclass year-round platform https://www.techblick.com/ And do NOT miss our flagship event in Berlin on 17-18 OCT 2023 focused on Reshaping the Future of Electronics.
