July 2, 2007News p. 7 A UniPhier LSI Made by 45nm Process Appears Following Finally Down to Fingertip Size; a WiMax Module at 10mm2 Barriers Come Up to Implement Wireless USB Device Compatibility Testing in NE Interview Motorola, Inc., Executive Vice President & Chief Technology Officer, Padmasree Warrior: “Software Defined Radio Can Be Accomplished in 5 Years” p. 38 Key Person Epson Toyocom Corp., Takayuki Kikuchi: “I Want to Spread the Technology I Fall For” p. 43 Keyword DRM p. 45 Cover Story Electronics Companies Gather Around Connected Health Related Devices p. 47 Electronics manufacturers around the world are putting out feelers into the market for health and preventive medical care for households. This is in response to growing interest in designing mechanisms for preventing diseases before they occur, spurred by aging populations and rising medical costs, issues which are tormenting many nations. Behind the scenes, manufacturers are already competing with each other, and collaborating, in development as they set their sights on a market about to boom. The Next Battleground p. 50 Competition is heating up behind the scenes to develop products as the market gathers momentum At Center Stage p. 59 Mobile phones have an ever-growing role—now to be used for measurement and management A Look at the Korean Market p. 63 Mobile healthcare is spreading—corporations and medical centers are rapidly stepping up investment The Trend Toward Downsizing p. 67 Hospital functions at your fingertips—new appliances are storming our homes Special Feature Widgets Can Change the Future of Consumer Electronics p. 93 How should digital consumer electronics and other embedded devices be linked to the Internet in a way that will facilitate the provision of services? This is a question that has been frustrating electronics manufacturers. Now “widgets” are attracting attention as a new solution as they offer a number of advantages for appliance manufacturers over conventional methods. Widgets could become very popular as a realistic link connecting the massive store of information that is the Internet with terminals held by users. NAND Flash Development is Accelerating p. 103 NAND flash memories are still growing in capacity and declining in cost. The 2007 Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits, an international convention on semiconductor technology held this year in Kyoto from June 12 to 16, was evidence of the accelerating pace of NAND flash memory development. Details of technology needed to realize 64Gbit products were revealed for the first time, and new memory cell-stacking technology introduced is intended to push the limits of memory capacity beyond 128Gbits, a level previously only whispered about. Documentary Contactless IC Card FeliCa (Part 4): We Aim for a Computer without Batteries p. 109 NE PLUS With New Analog Technologies to Dominate the Competitiveness of Digital Devices, Start by Learning the Basics Tutorial Introduction to The fourth installment in this series on mobile power electronics looks at heat dissipation technology. Whereas equipment that is fixed in place can make use of industrial water supply and other infrastructure for cooling purposes, mobile equipment has to carry around its own cooling system. But with components so densely packed, heat is frequently a cause of problems. Here we explain some of the solutions to heat-related problems. 1seg Systems (Part 1): The Basics of 1seg p. 150 Integration of communication and broadcasting can be observed in the form of tie-ups between the two services. However, it is extremely difficult for such different industries to come up with a single set of specifications and standards. The 1seg system was created jointly by the two industries. This first installment introduces the basics of 1seg broadcasting. Watcher / Samsung Looking to Dominate a US0 Billion Market, the Strategic Growth Area Is Printers p. 183
