hopeful afterglow following that encounter. In a statement released
Dec. 6, the Chinese Embas- sy in Canada protested the move as an act that “serious- ly harmed the human rights of the victim.” Meng, the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, is very high visibility in the business world, as her father’s firm is the world’s largest maker of equipment for cell towers and Internet networks. The company’s smartphone is No. 2 in world popularity. This action follows years
of allegations by Washing- ton that the Chinese gov- ernment could inf luence the company to use its hardware to spy or scatter communications, and a po- tential possibility that could balloon with the advent of 5G. The arrest arrives on the heels of a trade conflict between the two countries that has threatened to sully the playing field for elec- tronics firms. Tariffs have been levied by both sides since July, jostling electron- ics and other markets.
Electronics Industry Awards event in London. The Elekt ra awards
recognize achievements of individuals and compa- nies, and are designed to promote best practice in product and business in- novation, sales growth, and employee motivation. Te PicoScope 5000D won
against strong competition from Keysight Technologies, Red Pitaya, Qoitech, and Smiths Interconnect. PicoScope 5000D MSO
models add 16 digital chan- nels, providing the ability to accurately time-correlate ana- log and digital channels. Digi- tal channels may be grouped and displayed as a bus with each bus value displayed in bi- nary, hex, decimal or level ( for DAC testing). Advanced trig- gers can be set across both the analog and digital channels. PicoScope 5000D Series
oscilloscopes have wave- form capture memory up to 512 megasamples—many times larger than compet- ing scopes. Deep memory enables the capture of long- duration waveforms at max- imum sampling speed.
It includes a suspenseful, ac- tion-filled movie trailer that shows what happens when scientists, engineers, and mathematicians make semi- conductors to save the world from the brink of disaster. The video al so takes
viewers behind-the-scenes of fab which brings together cutting-edge STEM fields to develop the world’s most advanced technology. The campaign’s website
provides information about the value and production of semiconductors, as well as a career guide that showcases the wide variety of opportuni- ties available with companies such as Intel, Samsung, Ap- plied Materials, Tokyo Elec- tron, and the more than 2,000 SEMI member companies. The campaign is just one
piece in SEMI ’s compre- hensive workforce devel- opment plan. The plan en- gages students as early-on as 4th grade, inspires and motivates them through high school and college, and provides pathways to pro- fessional careers, building a pipeline to fill the short- term and long-term needs of the industry.
