Toshiba’s new photorelays contribute to low power consumption in battery-powered equipment

 



KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 17 -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has launched two new photorelays ‘TLP170AM’ and ‘TLP170GM’ in a small 4-pin SO6 package, for security systems, building automation and other industrial equipment.

The new products feature a maximum trigger LED current of 1mA, which reduces input side power loss by increasing the sensitivity of the photodiode array.

According to a statement, using these photorelays for ON/OFF control in battery-powered security devices and various sensors contributes to lower power consumption and longer operation of devices.

TLP170AM has a rated OFF-state output terminal voltage of 60V and a constant ON-state current (ION) of 0.7A, with pulse operation of up to 2.1A, while TLP170GM is a 350V version with an ION of 110mA constant current and 330mA pulse operation.

The 4-pin SO6 package enables a minimum isolation voltage of 3750Vrms, allowing the devices to be used in equipment requiring high insulation performance.

Buzzvil launches bubble-like ad inventory to tighten global ad-tech market presence

 KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 -- Buzzvil, a global leader of rewarded ads platform, has launched the world’s first bubble-like ad inventory, Pop, to tighten its grip in the global ad-tech market, including the United States (US), Taiwan and Japan.

The Softbank-backed company Buzzvil has over 100 global publishers, including South Korea's three major mobile carriers and membership operators such as OK Cashbag, L.Point, CJ ONE and Happy Point, as well as Japan’s largest railway company JRE and point operator Ponta.

In June, Buzzvil introduced Pop to its enhanced lineup of marketing solutions. This bubble-like unit will act as a shortcut utility tool, allowing the app user to use certain features and consume content of the app right from the home screen.

According to a statement, the unit also generates additional ad revenue for publishers by displaying rewarded ads, and a patent for this unit has recently been filed.

Buzzvil will apply for patents on a number of machine learning-based technologies, including a dynamic ad system that displays rewarded ads only to valuable customers, and systems that identify fraudulent users so marketers can optimise advertising costs, eventually allowing publishers to see optimal returns.

In the same statement, Buzzvil recently raised 20.5 billion Korean won (US$17 million) in series C from Mega-7 Club for its compelling reward-based ad tech that maximises ad revenue for publishers. (US$1 = RM4.19)

Moody's acquires stake in MARC, strengthening presence in key ASEAN markets

 KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 12 -- Moody’s Corporation has acquired a minority stake in Malaysian Rating Corporation Bhd (MARC), a credit rating agency serving the Malaysian domestic bond and sukuk markets.

The investment strengthens Moody’s presence in Southeast Asia and across domestic bond markets globally, advancing its position as a leader in Islamic finance.

Based in Kuala Lumpur, MARC covers corporates and financial institutions, with key strengths in infrastructure and project finance.

In addition to its rating services, MARC provides economic and fixed-income research, credit risk solutions, sustainability-linked offerings and finance-related online training programmes.

“Malaysia’s robust domestic bond market presents an attractive opportunity for Moody’s and we are excited to build upon our partnership with MARC and its growing portfolio of ratings and services,” managing director and head of Moody’s Investors Services Asia Pacific Wendy Cheong said in a statement.

She said the investment also strengthens Moody’s presence in Malaysia, a key market within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Malaysia has the region’s largest domestic corporate bond market and has established itself as a global hub for Islamic finance, with the world’s largest sukuk market, Cheong added.

Meanwhile, MARC group chief executive officer Datuk Jamaludin Nasir said the credit rating agency is a leader in the sukuk rating space, having rated the single largest corporate sukuk issuance and other noteworthy sukuk.

“This strategic partnership with Moody’s deepens MARC’s commitment to the sustainable development of Malaysia’s capital markets,” he said.

MARC was named the Best Islamic Rating Agency in the Global Islamic Finance Awards in six of the past seven years – in 2014 and each year from 2016 to 2020.

The investment complements Moody’s existing cross-border ratings and research coverage in Malaysia as well as its market outreach activities, including its annual Inside ASEAN conference and Islamic Finance Briefing held in Kuala Lumpur.

MARC will continue to operate as an independent entity and will remain separate from Moody’s Investors Service and its credit rating processes and activities.

The investment was funded with cash and is not expected to have a material effect on Moody’s 2020 financial results.
