Kyocera Exhibits Multilayer Ceramic Substrate for Automotive ECU.Kyoto, Japan, June 12, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) Newswire) - Kyocera Corporation (TSE See Tokyo Stock Exchange. TSE 1. See Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE). 2. See Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE). : 6971; NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : KYO) has developed a multilayer ceramic substrate for use in an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) on the most advanced automatic transmission produced by Aisin AW Co., Ltd. An exhibit of the substrate attracted an enthusiastic audience at the Automotive Engineering Exposition 2006 hosted by the Society of Automotive Engineers SAE International (SAE) is a professional organization for mobility engineering professionals in aerospace, automotive and the commercial vehicle industries. The Society is a standards development organization for the engineering of powered vehicles of all kinds, including of Japan (JSAE JSAE Journal of South American Earth Sciences JSAE Japan Society of Automotive Engineers JSAE Japanese Society of Automotive Engineers JSAE Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Europe JSAE Journal for the Society of American Engineers ), May 24 - 26 at the "Pacifico Yokohama" in Yokohama-city, Japan. The Aisin AW transmission is a High Torque Capacity FWD (Fast Wide Differential) Refers to a Fast Wide SCSI implementation that uses differential signaling. See SCSI. (Front Wheel Drive) 6-speed with the ECU mounted directly onto the transmission. Mounting the ECU directly to the transmission requires harsh environmental durability due to high temperature and high vibration exposure, where high reliability and a small size module substrate are essential. Kyocera developed the multilayer ceramic substrate for this application based on unique material technologies and process technologies for size reduction, high density and high precision substrates. Direct mounting of ECU on Transmissions and Engines are increasing in popularity and growing rapidly for these types of applications, according to Kyocera. The automotive market is an important strategic market for Kyocera, which is well positioned to support a variety of product lines including ceramic materials, substrates, packages, electronic components, structural products and cutting tools, all found deployed in the vast opportunities of the automotive market. A wide variety of Kyocera's electronic components are also mounted on the ECU for the automatic transmission mentioned above. In addition, the components assemblies are carried out by Kyocera. From this sense, the ECU is heart of Kyocera's material, substrates, components and assembly technologies. About Aisin AW Aisin AW announced the world's first FWD 6-speed automatic transmission in 2002. The Company went on to develop a RWD RWD Rewind RWD Rear Wheel Drive RWD Ringwood (Victoria, Australia suburb) RWD Real World Data RWD Rwandair Express, Rwanda (ICAO code) RWD Rogalski, Wigura & Drzewiecki series of the new 6-speed automatic transmission and has since been supplying these innovative products to Toyota and other car manufacturers around the world.
