MARKETPLACE EPCOS BAW Duplexers Volume production started EPCOS’ innovative duplexers in bulk acoustic wave (BAW) technology are off to a successful start: EPCOS has begun volume production of B7633 series BAW duplexers and is supplying them to a leading U.S. manufacturer of mobile telephones. BAW technology allows the production of frequency-selective filters and duplexers for applications in which conventional surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology comes up against its limits and cannot SCHULER XS Range Extrusion presses Impact extrusion presses are ideally suited for producing cans, tubes, and similarly formed technical parts. Starting material consists of aluminum billets several millimeters thick. In backward extrusion, material flows between punch and die in the opposite direction of the press motion. This results in thinwalled aluminum cylinders, which can be processed into tubes, beverage and spray cans, or fire extinguisher bodies. A combination of forward and backward extrusion is possible and used mainly for technical parts for the automotive and electrical appliance industries, for example gas filter meet the required electrical specifications. BAW technology combines high power compatibility of microwave ceramic filters with compact dimensions of SAW filters. New BAW duplexer is suited for mobile communications applications operating in the U.S. PCS or WCDMA band II. EPCOS—world market leader for SAW components—is a leading supplier of BAW duplexers for the high-growth market of CDMA and WCDMA mobile telephones. A new and more highly miniaturized generation of BAW duplexers with a footprint of only 3.8 by 3.8 square millimeters is currently under development. housings. In the past few years, Schuler has sold more than 600 such impact extrusion presses and is generally regarded as the global technological leader in this market segment. Recently, Schuler has developed a new generation of impact extrusion presses. The XS range provides press forces of 1,500 to 12,000 kN and features a modified knuckle-joint drive, which enables more constant slide velocity during the forming process. Punch impact is much gentler on the material, which can flow more smoothly during the forming process. The result is also less wear and tear on the die. Machines can reach speeds of 200 strokes per minute. At up to 40 millimeters, the forming stroke is twice as long as that of the previous range. This en- INCHRON Embedded Systems Detecting and eliminating bugs early Inchron invents, develops, and markets products that solve engineers’ problems in developing embedded systems. An embedded system is a special-purpose computer system that performs pre-defined tasks. On average, it takes 9 to 18 months to develop an embedded system. According to a survey conducted by Embedded Market Forecasters, there is an average larges the spectrum of parts that can be produced. Machines can produce parts with a maximum length of 465 millimeters and a maximum diameter of 150 millimeters. Wall thickness for aluminum alloys is around 0.3 mm. Slide jibs as well as part feed and discharge were designed for the machine’s high stroking rates. Indexed dial feed plates enable fast and controlled infeed of aluminum billets and outfeed transport of impact ex- four-month delay with 56 percent of all embedded designs. The main reason for delays is finding bugs much too late in the design cycle. Many companies face an increasing number of product recalls from the field back to the manufacturing center because of run-time problems. Inchron addresses both issues by providing chronSim, which allows full simulation of embedded software on a virtual prototype. Customers can detect and eliminate run-time problems early in the design phase and thus develop errorfree and cost-effective products of outstanding quality in a much shorter period of time. truded parts. Dial feed plates can be moved along the slide direction and are easily exchangeable (as is the shaft). Slide gib is mounted clearancefree in roller bearings below the slide. 36 MADE IN GERMANY NO. 5, 2006
PUBLICATIONS VDI Guidelines And their significance In the last 40 years, Association of German Engineers (VDI) has systematically built up a set of technical regulations, which today contains more than 1,700 valid VDI guidelines covering various fields of technology. In line with technical developments, existing guidelines are updated regularly. Each year around 120 to 150 new VDI guidelines are published. Thus, VDI fulfils its primary function: transferring technical knowledge to engineers and students. VDI guidelines have particular legal importance at the national level, for example by their inclusion in acts, ordinances, decrees, or regulations. VDI guidelines also constitute a practical supplement to HÜTIG JEHLE REHM Indian Market High growth area Through Economica Verlag in Verlagsgruppe Hütig Jehle Rehm, BFAI and Indo-German Chamber of Commerce has re- NO. 5, 2006 European and international rules or serve as national position during the development of these regulations.

Authors, proven experts in Indian affairs, inform readers through text (237 pages), charts, and contact addresses about India, the new economic giant and mover in Asia. The book describes the country and its people, discusses the economic structure and development, and presents an overview of the market. Then it turns to the possibilities for company engagements in the country, including personnel, taxes, import laws, customs, legal aspects, and permits. Finally, it describes intercultural differences in business practice. Hardcover book, ISBN 978-3-87081-461-8 is available from HJR Verlag, kundenbetreuung@hjr-verlag.de for ¤49.00.
