Kyocera Launches New Air-cooled UV LED Light Source 'G7A Series'
KYOTO, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kyocera Corporation (President: Hideo Tanimoto, "Kyocera")(TOKYO:6971) has developed a new air-cooled, UV LED light source that ranks among the smallest in its class *1 while providing revolutionary curing performance for applications such as ink, resin curing and adhesion. The G7A Series will be available in June 2025. *1: Among air-cooled UV LED with a total irradiation of 300 mJ/cm² or more; Kyocera research, March 2025. *2: Among air-cooled UV LED light sources for UV curing applications; Kyocera research, March 2025. Expand Development Background In recent years, UV curing light sources have faced important challenges, including reducing CO2 emissions by decreasing power consumption, lowering ozone emissions, and complying with mercury regulations. Additionally, there is a growing demand for space saving solutions in today's manufacturing, which has led to a need for more compact light sources with higher curing performance. Kyocera's UV LED light sources not only have a low environmental impact, but also adopt an air-cooled system that does not require cooling water, even with high output. As a result, additional equipment such as a water-cooling system is unnecessary, enabling a more compact installation. Through this, our product contributes to greater efficiency and reduced environmental impact for various devices used in manufacturing sites, such as printing, adhesion, and liquid gasket. Features - 1. Achieves the highest irradiance in its class *2 By utilizing Kyocera's proprietary ceramic substrate with heat-dissipation as well as a module heat dissipation design that includes a heat sink, we have maximized energy efficiency while achieving an irradiance of 20W/cm² (at 0 mm irradiance distance), the highest among air-cooled UV LED light sources in this class. Additionally, by achieving a total dose of 400 mJ/cm² at 50 m/min, which is an important indicator of curing performance, we have achieved high-speed curing performance comparable to water-cooled UV LED light sources, all within a compact design. - 2. Contributes to space saving with market-leading miniaturization Compared to the conventional high-output G5H Series, the G7A Series has a footprint 62% smaller and a height 10% lower, placing it among the world's most compact (120 x 52 x 151mm) UV LED light sources with the same optical performance. The G7A offers a 30mm irradiation window, contributing to space savings while preserving high curing performance. - 3. Customizable irradiation width to suit a wide variety of printed materials The G7A has a scalable structure in 120mm increments, allowing the irradiation width to be adjusted from a minimum of 120mm to a maximum of 2,400mm, by connecting multiple light source units. This enables flexible customization of the irradiation width to suit a wide variety of printed materials. Further, the system can connect to external devices via serial communication, permitting fine adjustments to the LED irradiation width in increments of approximately 30mm. - 4. Stable operation enabled by monitoring functions for irradiation status The G7A Series features monitoring functions via serial communication, allowing for LED temperature, LED current, fan operation time, and accumulated LED lighting hours. It can detect lighting and system errors, and provides notifications for filter replacement and LED lifespan, ensuring stable system operation. Through the G7A Series, Kyocera will contribute to space saving in a wide range of industrial printing and curing applications, while contributing to a sustainable global environment.

Popular restaurant chain imitates MicroStrategy and Tesla in its operations
Al Abraaj Restaurants Group, a popular restaurant chain listed on the Bahrain Bourse, announced on May 15 that it has acquired Bitcoin to add to its corporate treasury. With this landmark step, the restaurant group has become the first publicly traded company in the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Gulf Cooperation Council, and the Middle East to add Bitcoin to its balance sheet. Al Abraaj has purchased five Bitcoin in its first acquisition and aims to dedicate a major portion of its treasury to cryptocurrency, as Bitcoin is the primary reserve asset in its institutional treasury. The company claims to follow in the footsteps of companies such as MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), Elon Musk's Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), and Metaplanet (TOKYO: 3350.T), which are among the world's largest corporate holders of Bitcoin. Al Abraaj has joined forces with the NYC-based investment firm 10X Capital to raise additional capital to add more Bitcoin to its treasury for the purpose of holding maximum Bitcoin per share. 10X Capital is well-known for advising leading Bitcoin treasury firms, including David Bailey's Bitcoin-native firm Nakamoto during its landmark $710 million deal with KindlyMD Inc.

Japan's SoftBank Group books 517 billion yen Q4 profit; beats estimates
[TOKYO] Japanese investment conglomerate SoftBank Group booked a net profit of 517 billion yen (S$4.6 billion) for January-to-March quarter on strong performance from its telecommunications holdings and higher valuations in its later-stage startup holdings. The result compared with 231 billion yen profit for the same period the previous year and the 26.9 billion yen average loss from five analyst estimates compiled by LSEG. The results illustrate the risks and rewards of SoftBank's approach of investing in high-growth technology companies – as well as the complexities that shifting valuations pose to those estimating its earnings. The Vision Fund 1, which invests in later-stage startups, made an investment gain of 940 billion yen, boosted by increases in the fair value of holdings such as TikTok operator Bytedance and e-commerce platform Coupang. In contrast Vision Fund 2, which invests in earlier-stage startups, booked an investment loss of 526 billion yen. SoftBank's holdings in mature telecommunications companies, including T-Mobile US and Deutsche Telekom, have been a consistent source of investment gain in recent quarters. T-Mobile shares hit an all-time high in March and ended the quarter up more than 20 per cent. REUTERS
