Heat risk prevention Devices - Strengthening the Quality Control Process with AMR Sensor-based Power Control - Biodata Bank

Due to the impact of global warming and other factors, the importance of heat risk prevention has increased in recent years. Biodata Bank, a company that develops and sells wearable devices for heat risk prevention, utilized AMR sensors from Murata Manufacturing in its inspection process for finished products, to achieve a high level of quality control. We spoke with the company about why they adopted AMR sensors, how they are used, what they gained from co-creation with Murata Manufacturing, their plans for future co-creation, etc.

What Are Metamaterials That Expand Possibilities with Behavior Not Found in Substances in the Natural World?

Metamaterials are artificial substances that behave in ways not found in substances in the natural world. They control the reflection, transmission, and other properties of electromagnetic waves (light and radio waves), sound waves, and similar. We introduce here the types, usage examples, and prospects of metamaterials. We also look at the Ultrasound Transmission Metamaterial developed by Murata Manufacturing.

Contributing to the Realization of Society 5.0 with “Proximity and Force Sensor” and “Invisible ID Tags”

The future of a society in which digital technology plays a major part in our everyday lives is upon us. there is demand for ever more sophisticated interface technology closely connecting humans and machines and technology linking things and data. Murata Manufacturing has developed a “proximity and force sensor” that paves the way toward innovations in human–machine interfaces (HMIs), and “invisible ID tags” that make it possible to append authentication information without reducing the attractiveness of the product design. Examples of both were revealed at CEATEC 2023.

“Ultrasound Transmission Metamaterial” that Expands the Range of Places where Ultrasonic Sensors Can Be Used to Include Medicine and Automobiles

Murata Manufacturing has developed a new “ultrasound transmission metamaterial” technology with the potential to expand the range of places where ultrasonic sensors can be used. Previous ultrasonic sensors were unable to measure target objects located on the other side of a barrier made of a material such as metal or resin. The new ultrasonic metamaterial eliminates these limitations on measurement and has the potential to spur innovation in a variety of areas such as medical, automotive, and social infrastructure.
