TOKYO, Dec 20 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has today started to ship five new high-current photorelays in DIP4 and DIP6 packages, additions to its portfolio of photorelays incorporating MOSFETs fabricated with the latest U-MOS VIII process.
The new photorelays offer multiple options, with an off-state output terminal voltage ranging from 30 to 200V and a steady on-state current of 0.7 to 5.0A. They can replace 1-Form-A mechanical relays in various DC and AC applications, contributing to improved system reliability and reducing the space needed for relays and relay drivers. They deliver a rated operating temperature of 110°C (max), making it easier to accommodate temperature margins in system designs. In addition, the new photorelays provide a rated transient on-state current three times larger than the rated steady on-state current, contributing to design safety. The latest Gartner market report recognizes Toshiba as the leading manufacturer of optocouplers by sales in 2015 and 2016, with 23% sales-based market share in CY2016. (Source: Gartner, Inc. “Market Share: Semiconductor Devices and Applications Worldwide 2016” 30 March, 2017) Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation will continue to deliver products that meet the needs of customers by promoting the development of a diverse portfolio of photocouplers and photorelays tailored to market trends.

NEW YORK, Dec 20 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chartbeat, the leading content intelligence platform for publishers, today announces the 100 Most Engaging Stories of 2017, the articles that were read most this year based on highest Engaged Time. Selected out of over 39 million stories on over 50,000 media sites around the world, the top 100 serve as a snapshot of the year’s major events and highlight the themes that resonated most with readers. While “Trump” was by far the number-one entity referenced in news stories according to Chartbeat’s global dataset, reader attention was consumed by more than just politics. Authentic, personal accounts of human struggle from The Atlanticand ESPN, breaking news about the Weinstein allegations from The New York Times and political coverage of Trump’s White House from many including The Washington Post topped the list, as well as terror, disaster and health articles from companies including the BBC, CNN and many more. “Each year the Most Engaging Stories list affirms that readers want compelling journalism and storytelling that reports, educates, informs, and helps them make sense of the world,” said John Saroff, CEO of Chartbeat. The Atlantic’s “My Family’s Slave” earned the top spot on the list. The piece, written by the late Alex Tizon, gives a truthful, humble account of his life growing up with his caretaker Lola, simultaneously a beloved mother figure and “slave” in his family home. Collecting almost 58 million minutes of Engaged Time — triple of any other article on the list — the story garnered widespread global readership and debate, and is a marquee example of the human-centered stories making their presence strongly known on this year’s list. “People value story, great writing and honest emotion,” said The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. “When we published Alex Tizon's piece, we were at the beginning of the Trump presidency, and Trump was seemingly the only thing on everyone's minds. I had no idea that a tragic, very personal story by an esteemed but not particularly well-known writer would connect in such a dramatic way. But we learned that the marketplace still rewards quality.” The top ten most engaging stories that follow The Atlantic’s “My Family’s Slave” are: 2. ESPN: “I Just Wanted To Survive” by Tisha Thompson and Andy Lockett 3. The New York Times: Multiple Weapons Found in Las Vegas Gunman’s Hotel Room 4. CNN: Something went 'incredibly wrong' with Las Vegas gunman, brother saysby Emanuella Grinberg 5. The Atlantic: Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation? Jean M. Twenge 6. CNN: Weapons cache found at Las Vegas shooter's home By Holly Yan, Philip Victor and Darran Simon 7.
