KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 23 -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has launched the ‘GT20N135SRA’, a 1350V discrete power semiconductor device IGBT for use in voltage resonance circuits in tabletop induction heating (IH) cookers, IH rice cookers, microwave ovens and other home appliances.
GT20N135SRA features a collector-emitter saturation voltage of 1.75V and a diode forward voltage of 1.8V, approximately 10 per cent and 21 per cent lower, respectively, than the current product, Toshiba said in a statement. Both the IGBT (insulated-gate bipolar transistor) and diode have improved conduction loss characteristics at high temperature, and the new IGBT can help reduce equipment power consumption, according to a statement. The new IGBT suppresses short circuit current that flows through the resonance capacitor when equipment is switched on. Its circuit current peak value is 129A, a 31 per cent reduction from the current product.

Sequoia India, which led the US$20 million Series A round in June 2019, also participated in this expansion, according to a statement from Kopi Kenangan (US$1 = RM4.14). Founded in 2017 by Edward Tirtanata, James Prananto and Cynthia Chaerunnisa, Kopi Kenangan has managed to fill a sweet spot below the high-priced coffee served at international coffee chains, which are beyond the price range for most Indonesians. Just a year ago, Kopi Kenangan only had 16 stores while serving a few thousand cups a day. Currently, Kopi Kenangan has expanded to over 200 stores nationally and serves more than three million cups of beverage each month. On average, the company is opening more than one store per day. It has grown 20 times in revenue since its seed round led by Alpha JWC last year. Kopi Kenangan plans to add more than a thousand new stores over the next two years and expand across Southeast Asia. “We want to build a legendary brand, and we're excited to work with our new investors and advisors who have built global consumer franchises spanning sports, entertainment, F&B, and technology,” said CEO and co-founder Edward Tirtanata. Nielsen Company named Kopi Kenangan as the number one in top-of-mind awareness in the Kopi Susu or milk coffee category and second only after an established multinational coffee chain in the general coffee category. Kopi Kenangan’s best-selling beverage, ‘Es Kopi Kenangan Mantan’, has been a customer favourite and helped it secure the top spot in the milk coffee category. -- BERNAMA KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 6 -- The European Commission (EC) has approved Astellas’ XOSPATA® for patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a FLT3 mutation. FLT3 mutation must be confirmed with a validated test, such as the LeukoStrat® CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay, which served as the companion diagnostic in the Phase 3 ADMIRAL trial resulting in approval of XOSPATA®. The LeukoStrat CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay may now be used as an aid in the assessment of AML patients for treatment with XOSPATA® (gilteritinib) in Europe. EC approval of gilteritinib is based on results from the Phase 3 ADMIRAL trial, which investigated gilteritinib versus salvage chemotherapy in patients with relapsed or refractory FLT3mut+ AML. The LeukoStrat CDx test is currently available as a test menu service via Invivoscribe’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, LabPMM LLC (United States), LabPMM GmbH (Germany) and LabPMM GK (Japan). LeukoStrat CDx FLT3 Mutation Assay kits are currently distributed in Japan, Europe and Australia, are under review for distribution in the US, and are planned for distribution in China. -- BERNAMA KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 5 -- Toga Limited recently participated in the world’s biggest gathering of FinTech companies, the Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF).
