KARIYA, JAPAN, October 10, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - DENSO CORPORATION (hereinafter “DENSO”) today announced that it has developed new electrification products that contribute to improved energy efficiency, driving performance, and reduced charging time for electric vehicles. These innovations aim to enhance the overall practicality of electric vehicles. The newly developed products comprise an Inverter that will be installed in the new eAxle from BluE Nexus Corporation, along with a Cell Supervising Circuit designed to measure battery voltage and temperature, and a Shunt Current Sensor for measuring current. These products will be installed in the new TOYOTA “bZ4X”.Key New Products for the TOYOTA bZ4X- InverterThe inverter, a core component of BEV*1 and PHEV*2, plays a critical role in converting DC power from the battery into AC power to drive the motor. To meet demands for extended driving range, enhanced performance, and flexible installation to preserve cabin space, inverters are required to be compact while minimizing power loss and heat generation and supporting high current output.To address these challenges, DENSO has developed a new flat dual-sided cooling inverter structure, leveraging its proprietary dual-sided cooling technology, cooling design, and power semiconductor expertise. By evolving key technologies such as SiC (silicon carbide) power semiconductors, surrounding circuitry, structural design, high-efficiency cooling, and integrating them optimally, DENSO has achieved world-leading power density*3 (output(kW) per unit volume(L)). Compared to DENSO’s previous Si-based products, the new inverter reduces power loss by approximately 70%. Its core module, composed mainly of semiconductors and cooling channels, has been downsized by about 30%.These contribute to improved driving range and performance for BEVs.Key Development Highlights of InverterSiC Power SemiconductorDeveloped using DENSO’s proprietary 3D structure technology, achieving the world’s lowest on-resistance*4 for reduced inverter losses.Drive Technology to Maximize Device PerformanceThrough innovations in resin-insulated substrates and current pathways, we achieved approximately 50% reduction in inductance*5 compared to our conventional products. This allows for high-speed switching that fully leverages the performance of the power semiconductor.Advanced Cooling TechnologyLeveraging thermal management technologies cultivated through car air conditioning and engine cooling, we optimized the heat dissipation structure using elliptical pin fins, achieving approximately 40% better cooling performance compared to market trends. Furthermore, DENSO’s proprietary double-sided cooling technology enables flat placement of power cards, successfully balancing miniaturization of the Core Module—a key component—and support for high current.Optimization Through Integrated TechnologiesBy optimally combining the above elemental technologies—including flow balance in double-sided cooling and device layout tailored to cooling performance—we maximized the benefits of low power loss and high cooling efficiency, achieving the world’s highest power density.- Battery Management ProductsIn BEVs and PHEVs, precise monitoring of battery voltage and current is essential for safe, stable, and long-lasting battery operation. As the number of battery cells increases to meet range demands, efficient monitoring technologies that maintain accuracy while controlling costs are increasingly important.DENSO has developed a new Cell Supervising Circuit and Shunt Current Sensor through the creation of new ICs using proprietary semiconductor technology and the development of technologies to further improve detection accuracy based on detailed verification of material properties. These innovations enable more accurate measurement of battery and current conditions with fewer monitoring circuits, helping reduce costs and contributing to shorter charging times for BEVs.Key Development Highlights of Cell Supervising Circuit 28-Channel Cell Voltage Monitoring ICUtilizing DENSO’s proprietary high-voltage semiconductor process, we have developed the world’s first 28-channel cell voltage monitoring IC. This innovation enables highly accurate battery monitoring while reducing the number of cell monitoring circuits by 20% compared to conventional technologies.Circuit-Level OptimizationBy applying noise stress quantification technologies for circuits surrounding the monitoring IC, along with DENSO’s expertise in optimizing monitoring IC and PCB design, we successfully reduced the number of components required for overvoltage and noise countermeasures. This approach enables both safe battery usage and extended battery life, while also achieving cost reduction.Key Development Highlights of Shunt Current Sensor Shunt Resistor*6By adopting a shunt resistor method for current monitoring, we achieved highly accurate current detection.Correction TechnologyDue to variations in resistance values caused by ambient temperature and individual differences—such as those arising from welding with copper—correction is necessary for shunt resistors. To address this, we conducted a material characteristic evaluation of shunt resistors and clarified the temperature range in which such variations occur. Furthermore, by applying DENSO’s proprietary correction technologies and expertise, we developed a new correction logic that achieves the same level of precision as multi-point correction using only minimal temperature data. These efforts have halved the detection error compared to conventional products while keeping costs low, contributing to shorter charging times for BEVs.DENSO will continue to advance elemental technologies across a wide range of fields and integrate them to create high-value electrification products. Through these efforts, DENSO aims to improve EV practicality, accelerate adoption, and contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society.*1 BEV: Battery Electric Vehicle – powered solely by electricity, without using gasoline*2 PHEV: Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle – capable of short-distance travel using electricity only, similar to BEV, without using gasoline*3 World-leading power density: based on a comparison of identical specifications (as of January 2025, according to internal research)*4 On-resistance: Internal resistance that occurs when a transistor is in the “on” state. In switching elements such as MOSFETs, lower on-resistance indicates less power loss and enables more efficient power conversion.*5 Inductance: A property of components like coils, where changes in current induce a voltage. Lower inductance improves circuit efficiency and responsiveness, and helps reduce switching losses.*6 Shunt resistor: A resistor used for measuring electric current, primarily utilized in current detection circuits. When current flows through the shunt resistor, a small voltage is generated, and by measuring this voltage, the current can be detected with high precision. Since it also serves as part of the vehicle’s system current path (made of copper), it includes a welded joint with copper. Inverter Core Module (a key component of Inverter) Cell Supervising Circuit Shunt Current Sensor  Copyright 2025 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Tokyo and Kawasaki, Japan, October 9, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Genequest Inc. and Fujitsu Limited today announced the discovery of new insights into the causal relationships between genetics and lifestyle. The research utilized causal AI, a core technology of Fujitsu's AI service Fujitsu Kozuchi.Causal AI consists of three main functions: high-speed causal discovery, which estimates the causal relationships between data approximately 1,000x faster than conventional technologies (1) reliability enhancement, which enhances data with the inclusion of established causal knowledge (e.g., expert knowledge and past experimental results) and measure proposal which not only visualizes causal relationships through conventional analysis but also proposes optimal measures.By utilizing causal AI, the parties derived a multi-faceted causal structure regarding not only individual correlations but also the relationship between preference for sweet foods, coffee and alcohol consumption frequency, and their associated genetic traits, as well as the impact of genetic factors on body mass index (BMI). Additionally, by repurposing the Hirosaki Health Checkup Causal Network Model (2), developed by Kyoto University and Hirosaki University in collaboration with the latter’s Iwaki Health Promotion Project COI-NEXT, and applying it to the reliability enhancement function, the research was able to suggest more precise causal relationships between lifestyle habits, health, and background factors. The utilization of the Hirosaki Health Checkup Causal Network Model was made possible through the collaborative research course Large Scale Medical AI (Fujitsu Research Lab.) (3) by Kyoto University and Fujitsu.Based on these estimated causal relationships, it is hoped that the measure proposal function will be able to suggest individually optimized health measures tailored to personal food preferences, lifestyle habits, physique, and genetic characteristics.Moving forward, Genequest will continue to advance multi-faceted research by combining questionnaires, health checkups, and medical information and aims to contribute to the exploration of personalized health promotion and disease prevention approaches.Fujitsu's causal AI is a powerful tool for extracting new insights from complex data and supporting decision-making across a wide range of fields, not limited to medical and genetic domains. Fujitsu will accelerate its efforts to solve challenges and create new value in various industries.Yasushi Okuno, Professor, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University comments:"The onset of diseases is deeply intertwined with genetic function and living environment. However, the relationship between these two factors and disease onset is complex, and many aspects remain unknown. This initiative is an important step towards elucidating objective causes of disease based on data and deepening our understanding of disease onset. We have high expectations that this will contribute to the realization of personalized preventive measures and effective approaches."Koichi Murashita, Vice-President, Professor Vice-Director, Institute of Global Well-being Science Director-General, Research Institute of Health Innovation Hirosaki University comments:“At Hirosaki University COI-NEXT, we are working to further strengthen the research and social value of our comprehensive real-world data platform, centered on the multi-dimensional health big data (3,000 items) accumulated through the Iwaki Health Promotion Project health checkups, and to create true social innovation. We are very pleased that the research results utilizing our big data have merged with cutting-edge technology to create new knowledge. We have high expectations that these results will contribute to the development of preventive medicine and the improvement of global well-being." Figure: Overview of the researchResearch OverviewWith advancements in genome science, many correlations between genes and physical constitution/behavior have been reported. However, delving deeper into causal relationships—what causes what, and through what mechanisms effects occur—has been challenging as it requires considering the influence of multiple factors. Particularly in areas involving complex elements such as food preferences, lifestyle habits, and physique, precise data analysis is required.In this research, Genequest's extensive genetic and questionnaire data were combined with Fujitsu's causal AI, utilizing Fujitsu's high-speed causal discovery function to analyze these complex causal mechanisms more deeply. This demonstrated the ability to precisely analyze hidden factors within complex relationships and the interactions between various factors, contributing to the creation of new value.ResultsIn this research, causal analysis was conducted primarily in the following two areas, using genetic data and questionnaire data from approximately 4,000 consenting individuals, and leveraging the reliability enhancement function and measure proposal functions provided by Fujitsu's causal AI.1. Relationship between genetic traits related to alcohol metabolism and eating habitsWhile genetic factors were previously suggested to influence a preference for sweet foods and coffee intake, analysis using causal AI revealed that the association is likely mediated primarily by drinking frequency, rather than solely by genetic alcohol tolerance. Furthermore, for coffee consumption frequency, no direct link to drinking frequency was observed, suggesting that genetic alcohol tolerance may be an influencing factor. This highlights the potential impact of specific genetic traits on an individual's beverage choices.2. Relationship between genetic traits related to physique, eating habits, and BMIUsing polygenic scores, an index integrating numerous genetic factors related to BMI, the causal relationship between genetic predisposition to obesity, eating habits, and BMI was analyzed. The results suggested a direct association between genetic predisposition to obesity and BMI, with its statistical impact being comparable to that of sex and age. Slight associations were also observed with food preferences such as for fatty and sweet foods.Particularly, in the analysis utilizing the reliability enhancement function by repurposing the Hirosaki Health Checkup Causal Network Model, more precise results were obtained. The influence of meal quantity, previously suggested as a major factor in BMI change after polygenic scores in earlier analyses, decreased relatively, while preferences for fatty and umami tastes were suggested as more influential factors. Furthermore, factors previously outside the scope of analysis, such as family medical history (cancer, hypertension, heart disease, etc.), the subject's height, and employment status, were suggested as potential hidden common causes between variables.In addition, the research results imply that the causal AI measure proposal function could be utilized to present concrete actions for achieving individual goals (e.g., BMI reduction, improvement of specific eating habits) based on causal relationships, considering individual characteristics.(1) Fujitsu's proprietary high-speed causal discovery method:H.
