1. Murata 1.11 billion US dollars capital increase Wuxi Chi Chi Park;
According to Xinhua Daily reported that on February 8, Murata Innovation Chi Park added 1.11 billion US dollars signed a contract project in Wuxi High-tech Zone, which is the first in Wuxi this year over 10 billion US dollars in major projects for Wuxi High-tech Zone The pace of industrial strong areas into a new impetus.
Murata Innovation Zhiziyuan Murata Group by the Japanese investment in the construction of the Murata Group built to industrial resources gathering, industry leading and demonstration of an innovative park. Wuxi High-tech Zone Investment Services Bureau responsible person introduced, Chi Park will build Murata Electronics The original new plant and new energy lithium battery plant two new new manufacturing base, the overall investment scale from the existing 1.45 billion US dollars increased to 2.56 billion US dollars. After the completion of the project, the output value scale will increase from the current 12.5 billion To 20 billion yuan.
2. Dun Tai's loss in the fourth quarter of last year resulted in a loss for the full year.
Set micro-channel news, Dun Tai fourth quarter of last year due to revenue and gross margin double-dropped, resulting in single-quarter loss, resulting in accidental surplus last year, loss.
Looking ahead to the first quarter, due to the inventory adjustment of smartphones and the Lunar New Year holiday, the industry forecast that Dunlop's first quarter revenue trend will be downward but the decline should be limited. The single-quarter revenue will be slightly lower than the fourth quarter of last year. Gross profit margin There is a chance to hold steady.
Due to the sluggish smartphone market last year, Dunhuang's revenue in the fourth quarter of last year was NT $ 2.77 billion, down 15% quarter-on-quarter. Coupled with the increase in touch and driver shipments of integrated components, pressure on the price of used products Large, drag the gross margin performance, single-quarter gross margin slightly decreased to 20.4%, down 0.2 percentage points due to the fourth quarter of last year revenue and gross profit margin both fell, Dunhuang last quarter Q4 single-season pre-tax loss of 260 million yuan NT, and dragged down a loss of NT 103 million in the whole of last year.
3. Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences to develop new body temperature battery materials;
BEIJING, Shenyang, February 10 (Reporter Zhu Mingyu) Institute of Metal Research Chinese Academy of Sciences on the 10th released news that the researchers developed a new body thermoelectric power can be used in the next five years for the Bluetooth headset, health monitoring Watches, smart bracelets and other wearable electronic devices.
According to the Shenyang Institute of Materials Science (Joint) Laboratory 邰 Kaiping researchers, with the rise of wearable electronic products in their daily lives, scientists at home and abroad began to pay attention to the research of flexible thermoelectric materials and devices. Now the institute has developed The body temperature thermal power generation of new materials, the width of less than one finger, a thickness of 0.1 mm monolithic gray soft film, affixed to the human wrist at the connection of the measuring meter immediately showed a significant output voltage.
邰 Kai-ping introduction, the material as long as the temperature difference can generate electricity, the human body temperature is higher than the ambient temperature or the ambient temperature is higher than the human body temperature can be when the human body temperature and ambient temperature difference of 15 degrees Celsius, micro-watts to milliwatts of magnitude Power generation.And the power generation effect will continue to increase with the temperature increase, especially in human exercise can consume biochemistry to generate heat or the average outdoor temperature in the north of less than 20 degrees Celsius and so on.
Researchers use the thin film battery made of the material, that is, 'flexible, can be cut bismuth telluride / cellulose composite thermoelectric thin-film batteries', the first high-performance bismuth telluride thermoelectric materials and low-cost cellulose paper network structure composite, With excellent deformability, it can fully fit the surface of human body with complex curvature changes, maintain the temperature difference with the surrounding environment, and improve the heat energy conversion efficiency. It can be applied to a new generation of low-power micro-system power supply technology.
邰 Kaiping said that this high-performance flexible thermoelectric materials can achieve the thinnest only tens of microns, thin-film batteries made of the material can be recycled life waste heat can be generated everywhere, in addition to the use of human body temperature power generation, but also includes lighting Lamp shade emitted heat, etc., to promote China's renewable energy development.
4. Marathon patented group to buy the bit mainland 1400 S9 ant miner
According to foreign media sources, the Marathon Patent Group has announced that it has purchased 1,400 S9 ant mines in the mainland of China. It is estimated that these mills will deploy 2.0MW of electricity once they are deployed and provide 19 Ph / s of ASIC Mining capabilities. The S9 Ant Miner is able to use the SHA256 algorithm to mine any type of encrypted digital currency, including bitcoin and bitcoin cash.
It is worth mentioning that the Marathon Patent Group has previously acquired Global Bit Ventures, which specializes in digital asset mining business and has been seeking to expand the scale of computing equipment, mining new digital assets.It is reported that Global Bit Ventures already in 2018 On January 12, it purchased 1,300 S9 ant mines and 1,000 GPU mining servers and currently has a mining capacity of 250 Gh / s.
The two companies, after the merger, will have 2,700 S9 mines on the mainland and are expected to receive approximately 33 Ph / s of ASIC mining capacity.
Merrick Okamoto, chairman and interim chief executive of Marathon Patents, said their current focus is to explore the blockchain ecosystem to rapidly ramp up mining capacity and further develop new businesses in digital asset extraction for more revenue.
