If you think you have a tough day, try
working in space. Satellites in orbit
experience temperatures of over 100
degrees Celsius when they’re in direct
sunlight, and then plunge to minus 170
when they move into the Earth’s shadow.
This is a high stress environment. No
wonder things can go wrong - and no
wonder reliability is so important. Toshiba
has an active space division, building key
components for the International Space
Station (including a multi-jointed robot arm
to help with docking and experiments) and
numerous communications and research
satellites. Like many of Toshiba’s Notebook
technologies, these too are designed to
handle the rigours of travel.
When you’re this far from a Service Centre,
reliability is really, really important.
Toshiba is one of the world’s leading suppliers
of power generation plants, and produces
some of the world’s most efficient and
reliable steam turbines and generators. The
company also develops all of the complex
control systems that keep them running
smoothly. The same emphasis on reliability
applies to Toshiba’s approach to engineering
Notebooks – after all, millions of people
depend on both to get things done.
Notebooks aren’t the
only power stations
Toshiba build.
If you’re in a hurry to get to a meeting,
Japan’s the place to do it. The bullet trains
on the island of Kyushu, for instance, operate
at speeds of up to 260 km/h. Ensuring that
everything runs smoothly at these speeds
is not a trivial task. Toshiba supplied over
70% of the key electrics that keep these
trains on track. Something to ponder, as
you’re gliding through the countryside with
a Toshiba Notebook on your lap racing
through the work.
Some of Toshiba’s electronics move
very quickly indeed.
Toshiba received over
1,250 patents in
the US in 2005.
So there’ll be lots
more interesting
things happening soon.
