[Global Technology Report] According to Engadget on March 10, Samsung acquired the parent company of Harman Kardon for $8 billion and completed its largest acquisition in history.
Although Samsung has grown at an explosive rate, the company is mainly inclined to buy new start-ups or develop its own technology. However, in November last year, the company announced that it would acquire Harman International Industries for approximately US$8 billion. The transaction was confirmed on the 10th.
Harman president Dinesh Paliwal said: "Samsung has provided Harman with scale, platform, and complementary technologies to accelerate its growth and solidify its global market leadership in the automotive, intelligent audio, and interconnect technologies... Samsung and Harman will define and Drive the future of the car.†If you don’t know how to achieve this, remember that Harman is not only the parent company of the Harman Kardon brand, but also the parent company of Infinity, JBL, Lexicon, and Mark Levinson.
This is a different approach than Google's Android Auto and Waymo, or Apple’s CarPlay and Project Titan. Even for Harman, who has 30,000 employees and continues to operate as an independent subsidiary, it also stimulated the potential growth of Samsung's smart home and other connected devices.

The Schottky Diode is another type of semiconductor diode which can be used in a variety of wave shaping, switching and rectification applications the same as any other junction diode. The main adavantage is that the forward voltage drop of a Schottky Diode is substantially less than the 0.7 volts of the conventional silicon pn-junction diode.
Schottky diodes have many useful applications from rectification, signal conditioning and switching, through to TTL and CMOS logic gates due mainly to their low power and fast switching speeds.
the Schottky Diode also known as a Schottky Barrier Diode is a solid-state semiconductor diode in which a metal electrode and an n-type semiconductor form the diodes ms-junction giving it two major advantages over traditional pn-junction diodes, a faster switching speed, and a low forward bias voltage.
The metal–to-semiconductor or ms-junction provides a much lower knee voltage of typically 0.3 to 0.4 volts compared against a value of 0.6 to 0.9 volts seen in a standard silicon base pn-junction diode for the same value of forward current.
Variations in the metal and semiconductor materials used for their construction means that silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes are able to turn [ON" with with a forward voltage drop as little as 0.2 volts with the Schottky diode replacing the less used germanium diode in many applications requiring a low knee voltage.
