TRW Automotive (TRW) Could Fall Through $51.35 Support Level - Market Intelligence Center

TRW Automotive (NYSE:TRW) closed Monday's calm trading session at $52.36. In the past year, the stock has hit a 52-week low of $26.20 and 52-week high of $63.26. TRW Automotive stock has been showing support around $51.35 and resistance in the $53.87 range. Technical indicators for the stock are Bearish and S&P gives (TRW) a very positive 5 STARS (out of 5) strong buy rating. For a hedged play on this stock, look at the Oct '11 $50.00 covered call for a net debit in the $46.56 area. That is also the break-even stock price for this trade. This covered call has a duration of 130 days, provides 11.08% downside protection and an assigned return rate of 7.39% for an annualized return rate of 20.74% (for comparison purposes only). A lower-cost hedged play for this stock would use a longer term call option in place of the covered call stock purchase. To use this strategy look at going long the (TRW) Jan '12 $40.00 call and selling the Oct '11 $50.00 call for a total debit of $8.70. The trade has a lifespan of 130 days and would provide 6.99% downside protection and an assigned return rate of 14.94% for an annualized return rate of 42% (for comparison purposes only). TRW Automotive does not pay dividends at this time. [FBB-Seven Summits Research]

Auto Industry Online Photos Reach New Levels for iPhone and iPad - Automotive Discovery

The leading business solutions provider and world’s leader in Interactive Media Content for the automotive industry, izmocars has announced that its vehicle photography division, izmostudio has achieved two industry firsts. 1) color-correct, trim-level interior and exterior vehicle images for all online platforms and 2) super-sharp, high-resolution vehicle animations (including 360° exterior and interior “spins” with touchable “hot spots” and colorization) that work with Apple’s iPhone and iPad.

Auto Industry Online Photos Reach New Levels for iPhone and iPad -Image by kowitz via Flickr

Before the new release by izmostudio, no other provider in the auto industry has been able to control the distinctive interactive, visual power of Apple’s mobile devices or to attain this level of color/trim image accuracy across all online platforms. The challenge of matching vehicle photos exactly to consumer search specifications has been a continuing problem in online vehicle shopping. Consumers would specify auto color and trim, but the results of their search usually did not match their requests and has led to frustration with online auto shopping. The new izmostudio images are the color-correct (not a random shade of green but the actual automaker shade of green for that make/model) and trim correct for both the vehicle’s exterior and interior.
“izmostudio has achieved the holy grail of automotive digital marketing – photos that show consumers an image of the exact car that they’ve configured in their vehicle search, rather than unsatisfactory generic exterior/interior images that are neither the correct color nor the trim the shopper is searching for,” said izmocars President Tej Soni. “In addition, images from izmostudio now enable auto dealers and auto marketers to take advantage of the rich visual and interactive experience provided by iPad and iPhone to enhance their customers’ appreciation for -and likelihood to purchase -their vehicles. With over 100 million iPhones and 15 million iPads in the hands of consumers, we are proud to be the first and only digital image provider in the industry to meet the skyrocketing consumer demand for Apple platform customization.”
izmostudio is the first and only provider to deliver bright, sharp compelling vehicle images and animation, including exterior and interior spins and colorization, on the iPhone and iPad.

To experience the finger-touch interactive experience and richness of izmostudio vehicle images for the Apple iOS, iPhone or iPad users can go to http://www.izmostudio.com/izmocars/iPhone/.

Federal-Mogul's LKZ® Oil Control Ring Receives 2011 Automotive News PACE ... - PR Newswire (press release)

 

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., /PRNewswire/ -- Federal-Mogul Corporation's (NASDAQ: FDML) LKZ® oil control ring was named a 2011 Automotive News PACE™ Environmental Award winner on June 14 during the Automotive News Green Car Conference in Novi, Mich.  The company's LKZ oil control ring innovation, along with its EcoTough®-coated piston—both of which contribute to improved fuel economy and emission reduction—were honored earlier this year with a 2011 Automotive News PACE™ Award.

"We are honored that our LKZ ring is again recognized for its significance to the auto industry," said Federal-Mogul President and CEO Jose Maria Alapont.  "Vehicle manufacturers and consumers alike appreciate technical innovations that reduce oil and fuel consumption, as well as reduce CO2 emissions, while enhancing engine performance.  Our LKZ ring delivers all of these attributes and is a prime example of Federal-Mogul's commitment to provide our customers with world-class, innovative products and services to meet their needs."

Federal-Mogul's LKZ oil control ring is an innovative two-piece oil ring for diesel and direct-injection gasoline engines. The patented ring reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions by decreasing oil consumption by up to 50 percent and in-cylinder friction by up to 15 percent, compared to the best conventional two-piece oil rings.  

Typical piston rings apply equal pressure to the cylinder bore on the downstroke, toward the crankcase, and on the upstroke, toward the combustion chamber.  Federal-Mogul's LKZ ring combines a stepped surface and taper on its contacting edge, which provides a well-defined pressure to the cylinder wall on the downstroke and a significantly lesser effect on the upstroke.  The downstroke pressure more effectively returns the oil that lubricates the cylinder to the oil pan, as opposed to allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber, thus reducing oil consumption, improving fuel economy and reducing emissions, and avoiding the possibility of carbon deposits on the spark plug or on the cylinder head.  

The PACE Environmental Award honors innovations in the automotive supplier industry that contribute to environmental sustainability or solve environmental problems.  Environmental Award winners are selected from among the year's Automotive News PACE™ Award winners by independent judges, who are auto industry experts.

Diodes Incorporated's Super Barrier Rectifiers Raise Reliability in Automotive ... - Business Wire (press release)

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard product within the broad discrete, logic and analog semiconductor markets, today announced the first devices in a family of Super Barrier Rectifiers (SBR®) designed for automotive applications. With a lower forward voltage drop, improved avalanche rating and higher safe operating area (SOA) than alternative Schottky or ultra-fast diode alternatives, these rugged rectifiers enable automotive designers to increase the reliability of motor control, display panel and LED lighting circuits.

Utilizing Diodes’ patented SBR technology, the AECQ101 qualified SBR20A60CTBQ, SBR30A45CTBQ and SBR3045CTBQ rectifiers handle output currents of 20A and 30A and are provided in the industry-standard TO-263 package, while the SBR1045D1Q is rated for 10A and comes in the slightly smaller TO-252 package.

The SBRs’ low VF means circuit power efficiency can be significantly improved and much cooler operation achieved. The resulting improvement in reliability is further increased by the devices’ higher reverse avalanche rating, that provides greater protection against transient voltage spikes and its lower reverse leakage that provides a higher SOA and guards against thermal runaway in high-temperature operating conditions. For further information, visit the Company’s website at www.diodes.com.
