Japan seeks to calm market's nerves after stock price fluctuations

TOKYO, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Japanese leaders rushed on Tuesday to assuage concerns about the sharp swings in the country's financial markets, with the prime minister urging calm and senior finance officials convening an emergency meeting to discuss the global stock market sell-off.
The executives from Japan's Ministry of Finance, the Financial Services Agency and the Bank of Japan (BOJ) held the trilateral meeting on Tuesday afternoon, said Atsushi Mimura, the country's top currency diplomat, emphasising close coordination between the government and the central bank.

"The government and the BOJ agreed that it is important to monitor developments in economic and financial markets domestic and abroad with a sense of urgency while calmly assessing what is happening," Mimura told reporters after the meeting.
The gathering is typically held in times of market turbulence, partly as a gesture that authorities are willing to act. A similar meeting was last held on March 27 this year following a sharp decline in the value of the yen.
Stocks tumbled across the world on Monday as a sell-off that began last week picked up momentum, only to recover some ground on Tuesday, leaving bruised investors feeling whip-lashed.

The Nikkei stock index (.N225), opens new tab soared on Tuesday in a relief rally after plummeting 12.4% on Monday, its biggest percentage drop since the 1987 Black Monday crash. It ended Tuesday's trade up 10.2% at 34,675.46.
Mimura declined to comment on factors driving the stock plunge but said the three parties shared a view that the Japanese economy will continue to gradually recover.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida urged caution, saying it was important to make calm judgements about the market. He offered an optimistic outlook for the world's fourth largest economy, citing factors such as the first rise in inflation-adjusted real wages in more than two years in June.

  STMicro Unveils 6-axis IMU with Embedded Sensor Fusion and AI Among the most fundamental trends in the consumer electronics industry today is the proliferation of sensors . For applications such the Internet of Things (IoT), wearables, and AR/VR, sensing has been a core technology. As devices become embedded with more and more sensors , system developers face about how to best handle and fuse that data into a useful format. To address this issue,  STMicroelectronics (ST) has recently released  a new 6-axis IMU which includes a number of integrated features such as sensor fusion blocks and Machine Learning (ML) cores.   1st Editional of International Research Awards on Sensing Technology | 23-24 Jan 2023 | India Abstract Submission:  https://x-i.me/gaycon Award Nomination:  https://x-i.me/gaynom Member Nomination:  https://x-i.me/gaymem Visit:http://sensors-conferences.sciencefather.com/ For Enquiries: sensors@sciencefather.com

Temperature Sensors

  Temperature Sensors: A temperature sensor is an electronic device that measures the temperature of its environment and converts the input data into electronic data to record, monitor, or signal temperature changes. There are many different types of temperature sensors. Some temperature sensors require   direct contact   with the physical object that is being monitored (contact temperature sensors), while others indirectly measure the temperature of an object (non-contact temperature sensors).   Non-contact temperature sensors are usually infrared (IR) sensors. They remotely detect the IR energy emitted by an object and send a signal to a calibrated electronic circuit that determines the object's temperature. Among the contact temperature sensors are  thermocouples and thermistors . A thermocouple is comprised of two conductors, each made of a different type of metal, that  are joined at an end  to ...

  What are Sensors, Detectors, and Transducers? Sensor/Detectors/Transducers are electrical, opto-electrical , or electronic devices composed of specialty electronics or otherwise sensitive materials , for determining if there is a presence of a particular entity or function. Many types of sensors , detectors, and transducers are available including those for detecting a physical presence such as flame , metals , leaks , levels, or gas and chemicals , among others. Some are designed to sense physical properties such as temperature, pressure, or radiation , while others can detect motion or proximity . They operate in a variety of manners depending on the application and may include electromagnetic fields, or optics, among others. Many applications over a wide range of industries use sensors, detectors, and transducers of many kinds to test, measure, and control various processes and machine functions. With the advent of the  Internet of Things (IoT) , the need for sensors...
