Nissan licensing low-cost technology
YOKOHAMA, Japan: Nissan is supporting the fight against COVID-19 by providing licenses free of charge for thermal imaging sensor technology developed by the company.
Nissan is licensing the low-cost technology under the terms of the IP Open Access Declaration Against COVID-19, which the company joined in May. By signing the declaration, Nissan agreed not to seek compensation nor assert any patent, utility model, design, or copyright claim against any activities aimed at combatting the pandemic.
The licenses are for multiple products being developed by Chino Corp. and Seiko NPC Corp. Chino is using Nissan’s technology to develop, manufacture, and sell non-contact body surface temperature measuring devices that can quickly detect high body surface temperatures.
Seiko NPC has developed sensors under a sublicense of the technology from IHI Aerospace Co., Ltd. These sensors are being used in non-contact body surface temperature measuring devices for multiple companies.
The measuring devices are used in facilities such as schools, airports, and medical facilities to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Nissan’s contactless temperature-measuring sensor detects infrared rays from an object or area. It can display images, such as temperature distributions, with a resolution of about 2000 pixels and can be manufactured at a significantly lower cost than sensors made using conventional technologies.
