For more technical advice, please pay attention to the daily electronic core morning newspaper.
First, the semiconductor
1. The major shareholder called for Qualcomm to spin off the chip division. On the afternoon of April 13, the US "Wall Street Journal" received a letter from a Qualcomm's largest shareholder, Jana Partners ("Jana"), to investors, who was pressured by Qualcomm to consider taking a spin-off business. And other measures to boost the stock price. The letter shows that Jana asked Qualcomm to consider divesting its chip business from the patent licensing business. The patent licensing business is a major source of profit for Qualcomm, and Jana believes that the chip business has little value in Qualcomm's current market capitalization.
2. To catch up with Samsung, TSMC announced the 10nm 16nm process plan. The advent of the Samsung Galaxy S6 has made 14nm the top of the new smartphone SoC technology, and the established manufacturer TSMC has to catch up. Recently, when TSMC announced the Q1 financial report, it also said that it will mass produce 10 nanometers at the end of 2016. Process. In addition, TSMC expects that the 16-nanometer process will begin mass production at the end of the second quarter of this year.
Second, touch sensing
1. Tencent promotes face recognition technology. Southern Daily News (Reporter / Huang Qianwei) After Ali’s face recognition payment in Germany, on the 13th, Tencent Tenpay said that it has contacted the National Citizen ID Card Number Service Center of the Ministry of Public Security of China (hereinafter referred to as “Citizen ID Cardâ€.

2, Sichuan University Zhisheng showcases new products for 3D face recognition. Announced on the evening of April 13, the company recently developed a new 3D face recognition product. The product uses the high-precision 3D face camera independently developed by the company to establish a 3D model of the face offline, and uses the newly released sensor Realsense from Intel to collect 3D face data on-site, and compares it with the 3D face recognition software developed by the company to realize recognition and Certification. The product is a face recognition product that models, captures, and identifies all true 3D technologies.
Third, intelligent hardware
1. Smartphone GPS can be used to detect and warn earthquakes. On the afternoon of April 13, Beijing time, scientists found that smartphones can be used as instruments for studying earthquakes, not just communication tools in our hands. This inexpensive earthquake warning tool is suitable for countries that do not have the conditions to build expensive seismic monitoring networks. Related researchers published an article in the journal Science Progress last Friday that the built-in GPS of the phone can detect an earthquake and alert it a few seconds before the start of the earthquake. The GPS chip can record small displacements, and when there are multiple abnormal direction changes at the same time, the earthquake warning signal is sensed.
2, no border design? 360 new phones may do this. On April 13th, the patent information published on the website of the State Intellectual Property Office showed that Yulong Coolpad applied for a patent for a mobile phone without border technology. In the future, it may realize a borderless visual effect on the new smart phone. The patent literature shows that the patented technology can realize the borderless visual effect of the smart phone, and can realize the visual borderless experience of the user on the basis of the existing current manufacturing process. According to informed sources, the patent will be applied to a new generation of smartphones launched by Qihoo 360 and Yulong Coolpad.

Fourth, communication news
1, the US WiFi operator or hand in hand Ali into China. Free Wi-Fi operator Scratch Wireless disclosed to the newspaper that it will plan to enter the Chinese market in a few months, and Alibaba will become a "very strong partner." "IT Times" reporter learned that US virtual operator Scratch Wireless plans to enter China this year, and cooperate with existing Internet companies or virtual operators in China to promote the operation of free Wi-Fi mobile virtual networks in China. Scratch Wireless By converging free Wi-Fi and cellular networks (3G, 4G), the United States has significantly reduced mobile phone charges. However, some experts believe that Wi-Fi mobile virtual operators are difficult to pass the policy and security barriers in China in the short term. (IT Times reporter Hao Junhui)
2, Los Angeles to create smart street lights: a notebook can control the city's LED street lights. On April 13th, according to foreign media reports, the LED street lights in Los Angeles, USA can be controlled by only one laptop. The city's plan announced on Wednesday is to install mobile chips for existing street lights and connect all the street lights through the local mobile phone network. Through this system, municipal workers can control the switch of a single street lamp to achieve on-demand illumination – for filming or sporting events. The system also monitors which street lights have failed and monitors the energy consumption of each light bulb. All of this work can be done in a web browser. In addition, the additional GPS function will allow street lights to be connected to the city's alarm system in the future.
Five, wireless charging
1. Will you buy it? IKEA will push to support wireless charging home. Some time ago, IKEA had planned to introduce home equipment that supports wireless charging. Recently, there is news that homes with wireless charging function, IKEA plans to be officially listed in the second half of this month, users can go to IKEA to experience. It is reported that home equipment supporting wireless charging function or including desk lamps, desks, bedside tables, etc. At present, many smart phones support wireless charging functions, such as the flagship model such as Samsung GALAXY S6. However, it should be noted that when users choose wireless charging, they should see which types of wireless charging technologies are supported by mobile phones and devices to avoid incompatibility.

Six, driverless
1. Unmanned driving new worry: passengers are more prone to motion sickness. According to foreign media reports, a research team at the University of Michigan issued a report saying that passengers are more likely to get motion sickness when riding a driverless car than on a conventional vehicle. According to preliminary research, 6-10% of passengers will often have motion sickness. When riding a traditional vehicle, when the passenger can not predict the direction of the car, it is likely to motion sickness (this also explains why the driver is the most difficult to motion sickness); but when riding a driverless car, everyone is a passenger, when we play mobile phones When playing games, some people's motion sickness reaction will be more intense. However, the researchers said that there are still some design options to improve this situation. For example, larger, transparent windows give passengers a better view, and it is helpful to adjust the seat that allows passengers to lie down.
