Apple sources a hard-to-replace electronic compass and battery from Japan for its newest tablet. iSuppli adds it may also source the advanced technology glass in the display from the country.
This premium lens features newly designed optics including an Advanced Aspherical (AA) glass element, which contributes to the camera's extremely compact dimensions without sacrificing optical performance.
Johnson Controls is also increasing its production capacity of advanced battery types like Absorbent Glass Mat that power start-stop vehicles and Li-ion that power hybrid and electric vehicles.
In addition to features available for the Advanced Series, it features a five-inch multi-touch glass screen in a brushed-metal housing as well as a powered magnetic mount that automatically snaps in once the user holds the device close.
Today, the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology announced that its engineers have successfully created "single crystalline Gallium Nitride on amorphous glass substrates" -- an achievement that would allow the manufacturer to produce jumbo-sized LEDs from normal glass, including window panes.
