| Taiyo Yuden plans to merge its various technological advantages with the PAS capacitor development and production technology held by Shoei Electronics to accelerate and strengthen its efforts in the energy devices industry. The Farad Bank is calibrated twice a year against the calculable capacitor at a frequency of 1592 Hz. At the heart of the new technique lies the ability to count individual electrons and pump them through a circuit to charge up a standard capacitor with a known number of electrons. |
