We have announced a 3D structure flash memory sample using a 48-layer stacking process. By utilizing a
structure that stacks flash memory elements vertically from the silicon substrate, we greatly improved
density of memory elements against that of the conventional planar structure on the substrate.
We have developed new series of the image recognition processors for automotive applications that can recognize
pedestrians around cars by processing image data from camera.
The new series have newly-developed recognition processors that can analyze color gradients in supplied images,
and achieve a night-time pedestrians detection rate approximately the same as the day-time pedestrians recognition
rate of the previous devices.
Use of a glass fiber material has allowed us to commercialize a stick-type vacuum cleaner that is light—a standard mass
of 1.9kg—and easy to use, even for women and the elderly. The motor, which has a maximum speed of 110,000
rotations per minute, and a newly developed fan, realize suction power that surpasses that of conventional cleaners. In
addition, use of a Toshiba-developed system ensures that more than 99% of dust and pollen, which cause the suction
force to decrease, are separated out, so that the suction force remains powerful until the cleaner needs to be emptied.
