Market trends and business perspectives
China has overtaken the US as the world’s leading researcher, generating 58,990 patents in 2019 compared with America’s 57,840.
This is the first time since 1978 that the US has lost its position as the world’s leading producer of patent-winning inventions or innovations. (See animation below.)
The figures were published by the World Intellectual Property Organization, a specialized agency of the United Nations. [Read more…] about China overtakes US as world’s leading patent generator
Samsung Electronics, a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, has announced its latest premium application processor (AP), the Exynos 9 Series 9820, equipped for on-device Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications.
The Exynos 9820 features a fourth-generation custom CPU, 2.0-gigabits-per-second (Gbps) LTE Advanced Pro modem, and an enhanced neural processing unit (NPU) to bring new smart experiences to mobile devices.
“As AI-related services expand and their utilisation diversify in mobile devices, their processors require higher computational capabilities and efficiency,” said Ben Hur, vice president of System LSI marketing at Samsung Electronics.

The 5G Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation (5G-ACIA), which was established in April 2018, strives to successfully establish 5G in industrial production and to design it for industrial capability from the outset.
5G makes it possible to implement Industries 4.0 even faster and to take it to the next level. This technology enables an unprecedented degree of flexibility, versatility and mobility in industrial production.
There are many advantages to 5G, including a very powerful wireless networking technology that is suitable even for critical industrial applications.

A robot developed by the MIT university could help bring down the enormous costs of laying underground and undersea cables.
The machine is being called RoboClam – because it was based on how clams behave – is a relatively small device and it’s been called “the Ferrari of underwater diggers” because it’s particularly good at digging through soft, watery soil, or sand.
It was developed by MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, along with Bluefin Robotics, and the team was led by Anete Hosoi. [Read more…] about Earth-digging robot could make laying underground cables much easier and cheaper
Fifth generation mobile telecommunication networks – or 5G – are being created in many places around the world, including the US, China and Europe.
Currently, the majority of mobile device users access either 3G or 4G networks, which both have significantly lower data rates than 5G.
The table below has some basic numbers for how fast each network is – in megabits per second – and dates of when they were operational, or in the case of 5G when it will be. [Read more…] about 5G telecommunications networks being constructed in many places around the world
Huber+Suhner, in partnership with Radiall and Rosenberger, is developing a new RF connector system for small cell applications, which will make its debut at Electronica 2016.
As the telecommunications industry moves towards smaller equipment and small cell approach, the radios and antennas also become more compact demanding high-performing coaxial RF connectors in a small size.
By joining the expertise of three leading RF connector manufacturers in the telecommunications industry, the target has been to develop a small coaxial connector system which will meet existing and future demands of small cell networks for 4G and upcoming 5G networks.

Toyota and KDDI jointly promote establishment of global communications platform to support car connectivity
Toyota has set out on a mission to prepare the world for connected and autonomous vehicles by partnering with telecommunications provider KDDI to establish a global connectivity network.
Toyota says the platform will bring “greater connectivity” to its vehicles throughout the world.
The company says the network will need to be “a broad-reaching, robust communications platform and the use of a uniform data communications module (DCM) will be essential”. [Read more…] about Toyota partners with KDDI to develop global connectivity platform for autonomous vehicles
