1. NXP splits Ampleon into an independent company and is optimistic about new business opportunities for RF applications. The merger between Freescale and NXP was completed earlier this week, as the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) believes that the two companies together account for more than 60% of the global RF power amplifier market, based on regulatory requirements, NXP Pu finally split its RF division Ampleon into an independent company in exchange for a smooth merger with Freescale, and Ampleon is now the world's second largest RF power amplifier manufacturer. The EETImes website reports that Ampleon, based in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, currently has 70% of its revenue from providing RF solutions to mobile baseband infrastructure. Although this market is still huge, the industry is more interested in the emerging RF application market. Ampleon CEO Reinier Beltman mentioned that RF technology can be used for short-range energy transfer, which makes it possible to introduce RF technology into applications such as microwave ovens and plasma light bulbs. Beltman believes that the cooking appliance market will become the future RF. Technology emerging applications growth areas.

It is understood that the alliance wants to bring seamless wisdom to the cloud-to-IoT endpoints through an open architecture. Its core includes decentralized computing, networking and storage, and the technology needed to realize the full potential of the Internet of Things to accelerate the deployment of fog computing.

Third, intelligent hardware

1, Apple Watch will dominate the smart watch market by 2019. Apple's dominance in the wearable device market is now more and more obvious, and according to IDC's forecast, Apple Watch's market share will reach its maximum by 2019. IDC pointed out in the report that the sales of Apple Watch will increase from 13 million in 2015 to 45.2 million in 2019.

The biggest competitor of Apple Watch is definitely Android Wear, and the shipment volume will increase from 3.2 million in 2015 to 34.3 million in 2019, and the market share will increase to 38.8%. The platform advantage allows Apple Watch and Android Wear to almost divide the entire smart watch market, leaving space for Pebble and Samsung TIzen systems to keep smaller.

The transaction is expected to be completed by December 30th. Toyota's goal is to develop a fully self-driving car by 2020. This will be another step forward compared to the current so-called advanced driver assistance system.

2. Google opposes the new California regulations to limit the development of driverless cars. On the morning of December 18th, Beijing time, the head of Google's unmanned vehicle project on Thursday accused California of the new draft regulations will limit the company's project development. The California Motor Vehicle Authority on Wednesday proposed a draft regulation requiring all licensed drivers to always have a licensed driver. If you follow the new rules, Google's unmanned vehicles will obviously become illegal products, because this model does not have a steering wheel and brake pedal. “This still maintains the old status quo, does not allow this new technology to reach its full potential, and excludes users who want to go out but can't drive.” Chris Urmson, head of Google's unmanned vehicle project "We are deeply disappointed, but we will continue to work with the California Motor Vehicle Authority because they will seek feedback in the coming months. We hope to recapture the original spirit of the bill," said Medium. ""

Five, drone

1. The patent shows that the millet drone will be able to operate with a sense of body. Xiaomi’s most well-known product has been mobile phones. However, in recent years, Xiaomi Eco-chain has actively launched other types of products, such as the No. 9 balance car, and the next new product is likely to be a millet drone. Because there are recent patent documents showing that Xiaomi is currently developing a self-made drone, and is more likely to join the somatosensory control, I believe it should provide an alternative operating experience. In the past few months, there have been rumors that Xiaomi will enter the field of drones. Although the official has been arguing about this, according to the recently published patent documents of the China Intellectual Property Office, Xiaomi applied for it on August 26 this year. A patent for "Facility Control Methods and Equipment for UAVs, Electronic Equipment". It can be seen that the millet drone will adopt a 4-axis design, and in order to reduce the disadvantage that the user can only focus on flight control, it is more specifically applied to the Xiaomi bracelet to perform gesture operations, such as the user can use gestures. The trajectory pattern is made, and then the drone will fly according to the relevant trajectory. For example, the drone can fly around with the user as the center and aim the lens at the user.
