Come on, are we going to take every announcement at face value. Remember foxconn Wisconsin. They don't have to spend 100 billion, they have to just make an announcement.

Keger Precision Machinery: Jointly applied for the invention patent of "Printing, Inspection and Labeling Machine" with Huawei, which is now in the substantive examination stage

According to the invention patent application information published by the State Intellectual Property Office, there is an invention patent application with application publication number CN119450971A, which shows that Keger Precision Machinery and Huawei jointly applied for an invention patent.


The present invention relates to the field of PCB mounting technology, and specifically discloses a printing, inspection and pasting integrated machine, including: a mainboard conveying device, used to supply the mainboard; a sub-board production line, including a sub-board feeding device for supplying the sub-board, a printing press for printing the sub-board, a printing feed conveying device for conveying the sub-board from the sub-board feeding device to the printing press, a lateral transfer manipulator for transferring the sub-board from the sub-board feeding device to the printing feed conveying device, and a printing discharge conveying device for conveying the sub-board delivered by the printing press to a printing discharge conveying device close to the mainboard conveying device; a mounting mechanism, the mounting mechanism is used to mount the sub-board on the printing discharge conveying device onto the mainboard of the mainboard conveying device. The printing, inspection and pasting integrated machine provided by the present invention can cooperate to solve the problems of low compactness of equipment structure and overly complicated production process in the existing mounting process.

Georgetown University published a study on recent semiconductor research. Results are pretty encouraging.

Key findings​

  • Hundreds of thousands of chip design and fabrication research papers were released between 2018 and 2023, but the field isn't growing as fast as hotter topics like AI.
  • China produces by far the most chip design and fabrication research publications, with more papers from 2018-2023 than the next three countries combined.
  • China also leads in top-cited chip publication output, with half of the top-cited articles featuring authors from Chinese organizations and universities.
  • Most recent growth in published chip design and fabrication research came from China and India, while research output from most other countries actually shrunk over time.
