JinkoSolar Receives Favorable Final Determination of Non-Infringement in U.S. ITC Patent Investigation Brought by Hanwha Q CELLS

Leave a comment

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE: JKS), one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, today announced that the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”) issued a favorable final determination concluding JinkoSolar’s products do not infringe a patent asserted by Hanwha Q CELLS.

In March 2019, Hanwha initiated ITC Investigation No. 337-TA-1151 against JinkoSolar, LONGi Solar, and REC Group, asserting that the companies infringe U.S. Patent No. 9,893,215.

On June 3, 2020, the Commission issued its final determination in JinkoSolar’s favor, affirming the Administrative Law Judge’s initial determination in April, which was based on analysis of detailed, expert testimony, that JinkoSolar’s products do not infringe Hanwha’s patent.

“We welcome this final decision from the ITC, confirming what we have known all along: our products do not infringe Hanwha’s patent,” said Kangping Chen, CEO of JinkoSolar. “From the start, we have believed that the case brought by Hanwha was legally and technically meritless and a transparent attempt to disrupt innovation and slow our momentum. The ALJ’s decision confirms that Hanwha should never have brought this case in the first place. JinkoSolar is a true innovator, and this outcome validates our technology. Our top priority is to provide our customers around the world with the industry-leading, sustainable, high-quality, high-performance solar modules they have come to expect from us.”

Like previous acquisitions, including the 21MW purchase in 2019 and the two-13.3 MW acquisitions announced in 2017 and 2018, this portfolio also qualified under Xcel Energy’s community solar program in Minnesota. The portfolio is comprised of eight single axis tracker solar installations, each commonly referred to as a solar garden. The projects are located in counties across the southern half of Minnesota, and are designed to produce enough energy to power over 1,450 homes. The portfolio is expected to come online by the fourth quarter of 2020.

Nautilus will be responsible for the project management, long-term asset and subscriber management and maintenance services for this portfolio. In addition to having developed the projects, ReneSola Power will be responsible for securing the subscribers. The energy generated by the projects will directly benefit qualified commercial and residential off-takers situated within Xcel Energy’s service territory by providing energy cost savings while also advancing Minnesota’s 10 percent solar energy goal by 2030.

“We are excited to be working with the Nautilus team. This transaction once again demonstrates the project development expertise of our team in Minneapolis,” said John Ewen, CEO of ReneSola Power North America. “Despite ongoing macro uncertainties, both Nautilus and ReneSola teams successfully completed the transaction. Community solar remains an attractive market for us in the U.S., and we look forward to collaborating with Nautilus on other solar opportunities in the near future,” commented Yumin Liu, Chief Executive Officer of ReneSola Power.

“With this acquisition, we are able to significantly expand our subscriber presence in the Minnesota community solar marketplace to service smaller commercial and even residential customers,” said Jim Rice, Co-CEO of Nautilus Solar. “This successful transaction, being the fourth deal consummated with the ReneSola team over the last 3 years, further exemplifies Nautilus’s long-term commitment to working closely with our development partners,” added Jeffrey Cheng, President of Nautilus Solar.

Offering a Complete Professional Photography Experience, vivo Redefines Mobile Photography with Flagship X50 Series

Leave a comment

SHENZHEN, China, June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — vivo today unveiled the X50, X50 Pro, and X50 Pro+, the all-new vivo X50 series of flagship smartphones, which feature professional-grade camera technologies that revolutionize the mobile photography experience.

X50 series: stunning photography and sleek design
X50 series: stunning photography and sleek design

The X50 series is a realization of vivo’s commitment to user-centric design and innovation. Featuring cutting-edge stabilization, night mode, zoom, and portrait technologies, X50 series smartphones enable users to capture stable and high-quality images and videos in a wide range of scenarios, making every shot a masterpiece. The design of vivo’s X50 series draws from natural elements and futuristic aesthetics, aiming to complement the active lifestyles of consumers. With professional photography capabilities, stunning design, and smooth performance, the X50 series pushes the boundaries of high-end flagship smartphones.

“Guided by vivo’s deep insights into consumer needs, and underpinned by our advanced technology, we crafted the X50 series to provide a professional photography experience to our users. The X50 series’ stable shooting capabilities, outstanding lenses and sensors, and overall advanced camera system allow users to capture all of life’s stories with professional quality,” said Spark Ni, Senior Vice President of vivo. “As the first X series products that will be made available to international markets, we are excited to share the best of our innovative technology and design concepts with people around the world.”

Mobile Photography, Redefined

The X50 series integrates professional photography technologies. To reduce shaking, the main camera of X50 Pro is equipped with an industry-leading Gimbal Camera System, allowing users to take clear photos and videos while in motion, even at night. Modelled after a full-size professional gimbal, X50 Pro’s built-in gimbal module moves in the opposite direction of shaking motions, providing increased stability for the main camera. This system also widens the rotation angle and anti-shake area compared to popular stabilization methods, resulting in super clear images. The Gimbal Radar, an on-screen animated ball that reflects the gimbal’s movement, lets users know when the frame is stable. vivo’s motion-deblur algorithm, customized sensors, and continuous focus tracking further enhance image and video clarity.

The X50 series consists of true photography flagship smartphones. X50 Pro has a versatile camera setup with one front camera and four rear cameras. X50 Pro and X50 Pro+ both feature a periscope lens that supports 60x Hyper Zoom, and the main camera on X50 Pro+ features 1/1.3 inch ISOCELL GN1 sensor, leading to photos of breathtaking detail.

The X50 series features Super Night Mode and Astro Mode, which together enable users to capture stunning photographs of both city and country scenes at night, while Super Wide-Angle and Super Macro functions help create professional-quality photos in a wide range of scenarios. vivo’s Portrait Mode, powered by a 4-layer masking algorithm, allows users to separate the subject from the background and apply separate effects for a more refined result.

X50 Pro is equipped with a ground-breaking Gimbal Camera System, enabling ultra-stable photos

Sleek Performance and Design

In addition to its professional photography capabilities, the X50 series delivers overall flagship performance. The series supports 5G connectivity, allowing users to stay online with super fast speeds and low latency. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+X55 processor, X50 Pro+ provides fast computing speed and smooth multitasking capabilities. The series features a high screen refresh rate of 90/120Hz, displaying crisp images, movies, and games without smears or blurs.

Reflecting vivo’s design-driven innovation, X50 series smartphones are built with flexible screens, which are slimmer, lighter, and more durable than traditional screens. X50 is the slimmest 5G phone ever, measuring only 7.49mm thick. HDR 10+ technology delivers a bright and vivid display, and AG Frosting on the glass surface creates a soft and delicate touch. The Gimbal Camera System is also designed in the shape of an eye, serving as a unique design element on the rear of X50 Pro.

vivo TWS Earphone Neo Complement the X50 Series with Ultimate Audio

vivo is also launching the TWS Earphone Neo. Built to provide a high-quality audio experience that meets the needs of everyday music lovers, the wireless TWS Earphone Neo have a customized 14.2mm ultra-large driver unit, delivering a more powerful and full-bodied sound, as well as a bio-fiber composite diaphragm to enhance audio details. 

Designed with the needs of consumers in mind, TWS Earphone Neo also feature AI noise cancelling for clearer phone calls and several voice-activated smart controls. The earphones are powered by Qualcomm’s 4th-Generation TWS platform, the QCC3046, which offers low latency, high precision, and a stable listening experience, as well as the latest Bluetooth 5.2 technology with a maximum range of 10m. TWS Neo’s advanced features, along with its classic design and compact body, are a realization of vivo’s investments in Internet of Things devices.

SmartSens Announces SC210IoT – The 1080P RAW Sensor with On-Chip AEC For Fast Wake-Up Always On Home IoT Cameras Systems

Leave a comment

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — SmartSens Technology today announces the official launch of SC210IoT – a 1080P 30fps low power video sensor specifically designed to power Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

CIS - the core component of IoT smart vision systems

It is estimated that 127 new IoT devices are connected to the web every second, and an installation of 31 billion IoT devices will be installed worldwide by the end of 2020 (Security Today, January 2020). During the next three years, companies are believed to invest up to $1.1 Trillion in in IoT (www.vxchnge.com, March 2020). As companies race to stay competitive, there are several crucial advancements that will determine the future of the industry for the next decade.

As in the case of other SmartSens products unveiled recently, what sets SC210IoT apart are the multiple significant enhancements it brings to the whole new generation of smart devices: superior low-light sensitivity, AEC function to enable fast wake-up from intermittent system operation, lowered power consumption optimized for always-on everyday applications.

SC210IoT supports integrated AEC function to optimize sensor to reactive devices from power-off or sleep mode to active streaming with a much shorter response time, as low as 60~70ms, while devices without SC210IoT still take the time multiple frames refresh  – often >100ms for a stable exposed image – to achieve the same function. This represents a huge leap forward in applications that collect crucial, timely visual data such as home and commercial surveillance equipment.

As a result of the faster response time, the new SC210IoT also achieves ultra-low power consumption, which is one of the top priorities for “always-on” devices, by preserving video bandwidth for only waking up to- and recording images and videos upon receiving a visual detection. SC210IoT power consumption is at a mere 60mW while standby power is <10uW. This will lead to a longer battery operation that is required for true power wireless applications, especially for devices with AI designed for detecting objects, motions and activities beyond human eyes.

“The new product launch in our SmartPixel series is geared towards the future of IoT and not the past,” said Chris Yiu, CMO of SmartSens. “SC210IoT is only the beginning of a long line of new sensor products to come. We will be seeing OEM to bring innovative products to accommodate in our modern daily life.”

SC210IoT is available for sampling immediately and mass production in June 2020. For more information about this product or to request a sample, please contact us at cs@smartsenstech.com.
