New Project by JCDC: Support for Opening Japanese Cuisine Courses and Dispatching Instructors to Overseas Culinary Schools
Japanese chefs were dispatched to culinary schools in Türkiye and India to hold Japanese cooking classes in collaboration with local chefs.
TOKYO, March 25, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--While Japanese restaurants overseas continue to proliferate (According to the latest survey, there are 187,000 stores, which is about a 20% increase since 2021.), there is a shortage of chefs with the specialized knowledge and skills in Japanese cuisine, as well as instructors capable of teaching the techniques of Japanese cooking at culinary schools abroad.In order to make up for this shortage and further promote Japanese cuisine, food culture and ingredients, JCDC (Location: Tokyo, Representative: Yoshihiro Murata) has started a project to dispatch Japanese chefs to overseas culinary schools and other institutions that want to set up Japanese cuisine courses with the aim of teaching correct knowledge and cooking methods for Japanese cuisine, food culture and ingredients, with the cooperation of local Japanese Cuisine Goodwill Ambassadors, the Certification Body and graduates of past JCDC program. In this first year of the project, we have taken this ambitious initiative to Turkey and India.Participants commented that "until now I thought that ramen and sushi were the only traditional Japanese dishes, but now I finally understand how important dashi is!", "it was completely different from what I had imagined. This lecture has changed the way I look at Japanese food", "I want to know more about Japanese food and how it has evolved to the present day", and so on.

New Murata Automotive-Compliant Chip Ferrite Beads Deliver Wide Band Noise Suppression of High-Frequency (5.9GHz) C-V2X
KYOTO, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TOKYO: 6981) (ISIN: JP3914400001) continues to push the envelope in automotive noise suppression technology with another industry first. By leveraging proprietary material technology and optimized structural design, the company's new BLM15VM series of automotive-compliant chip ferrite beads deliver wide-band noise suppression of high-frequency (5.9GHz) 5G vehicle-to-everything (5G-V2X) applications that exhibit high impedance. Mass production is scheduled to begin in July 2025. In recent years, the use of high-frequency wireless communication in the automotive sector has increased. It is primarily used for content distribution for navigation, audio and other infotainment systems. Improving sensitivity and noise suppression in these advanced high-frequency communication systems becomes mission critical to support the connected car for ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and eventually autonomous driving. RF inductors typically used for noise suppression in sub-6GHz communication have a narrow frequency band at high impedance, making it necessary to select components that match the noise frequency band. With its broad high-frequency band at high impedance, the BLM15VM series allows easy noise suppression across multiple frequency bands using just one product. Even at 5.9GHz, the chip ferrite beads within the series will typically attain impedance values of 1000Ω. By enabling error-free high-frequency communication, which is crucial for autonomous driving, the BLM15VM series significantly improves reception sensitivity in V2X communication in the 5.9GHz bands for autonomous driving and stable operation of dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) based control systems, operating in the 5.8GHz band, for improved road safety. Additionally, since Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, the communication standards for wireless LAN, also use the sub-6GHz band, this product can improve sensitivity and suppress noise in consumer communication devices. The AEC-Q200-compliant BLM15VM series of chip ferrite beads from Murata supports operating temperatures between -55 to 150°C and is supplied in a compact 0402-inch size (1.0×0.5mm). Murata is committed to expanding its lineup to meet market needs. For more details about the Product, see the ' BLM15VM150BH1 ' page. Requests of free small-quantity samples are available here. For inquiries regarding the product, click here. Editor's Notes According to the Company's research. This is the world's first product that removes noise in high-frequency communication (including Sub6 bands) for C-V2X, as of June 18, 2025. About Murata Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and sale of ceramic-based passive electronic components & solutions, communication modules and power supply modules. Murata is committed to the development of advanced electronic materials and leading edge, multi-functional, high-density modules. The company has employees and manufacturing facilities throughout the world.

Toshiba Releases 2-Channel Automotive Standard Digital Isolators Compliant with AEC-Q100
KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched a line of 2-channel high-speed standard digital isolators for automotive applications. The new "DCM32xx00 Series' features four devices that support stable operation with high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 100kV/μs (typ.) [1] and high data transmission rate of 50Mbps (max) [2]. All conform to the AEC-Q100 standard for the safety and reliability of automotive electronic components. Shipments start today. The safety and reliability of on-board chargers (OBC) and battery management systems (BMS) in hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV) and electric vehicles (EV) require devices that ensure isolation and prevent noise-propagation. Automotive standard digital isolators provide solutions for the multi-channel high-speed communications and high CMTI these isolation devices require. The new isolators use Toshiba's proprietary magnetic coupling type isolated transmission method to achieve a high CMTI of 100kV/μs (typ.). This delivers high level resistance to electric noise between input and output in isolated signal transmission, enables stable control signal transmission and contributes to stable equipment operation. A low-pulse-width distortion of 0.8ns (typ.) [2] and a data-transmission rate of 50Mbps (max) [2] are also achieved. The new products are suitable for 2-channel high-speed communication applications such as I/O interfaces with CAN [3] communications. Toshiba already mass produces 4-channel automotive standard digital isolators, and has now extended its product lineup to 2-channel small SOIC8-N packages. Going forward, the company will expand its range of channels and packages for automotive and industrial equipment. It will continue to provide high-quality isolation devices and photocouplers that support the reliability and real-time data transmission required by automotive equipment.
