E Ink Holdings Inc. (Billerica, Massachusetts), originator, pioneer, and global commercial leader in digital paper technology, has announced that by December 2022, its global operations and sales sites will have achieved RE20, where 20% of the energy used by the company is generated from renewable sources.
Dracula Technologies (Valence, France), a pioneer in harvesting energy through indoor light, participates at Eureka Park at CES 2023, the most influential tech event in the world, which will take place in Las Vegas, 5-8 January 2023. Dracula Technologies will showcase its LAYER technology, an organic photovoltaic (OPV) solution that generates energy from light in our living spaces and eliminates the need for batteries. The platform charges low-power indoor (LPI) devices, even in low-light conditions. Using a development kit, partners can tailor the technology to specific applications. Several samples will be presented at the event—including an autonomous temperature logger, a CO2 sensor, an infrared sensor, and a remote-control device.
After two years of development, the European Commission-funded project INNO4COV-19 (FKZ 101016203), which supported the commercialisation of new products to combat COVID-19 in Europe, has come to an end. The Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP (Dresden, Germany) developed, among other things, a prototype of a portable thermal camera system with integrated, low-power microdisplays for early and contactless detection of infected persons. This system will be presented at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, USA, 5-8 January, at the Fraunhofer FEP booth, No. 55822-3, German Pavilion, in the Venetian Expo Center.
