Rohm has developed automotive primary LDOs (Low Drop-Out regulators) that utilize their QuiCur™ technology to achieve industry-leading load response characteristics. These devices are designed to supply power to automotive electronic components, such as ECUs, that operate from vehicle batteries. As the number of onboard power supply systems and functions in the automotive industry continues to grow, there is an increasing demand for primary LDOs that can directly step down the battery voltage to MCUs and other components used in ECUs. These primary LDOs are required to provide excellent line-transient response in conditions of sudden voltage fluctuations from the vehicle's lead-acid battery. [Extracted from the article]

India's Supreme Court has upheld Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to remove the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, a disputed Himalayan state.

This article presents information on a remote-controlled cat designed by researchers in the U.S. Trained by scientists in pure behavioral conditioning, it could sidle up to enemy agents on city streets or at ill-lit assignation points and record their conversations by means of a surgically implanted microphone.
