United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) to grant Apple Inc a new patent in the local time on February 3, the patent called "Proximity and multi-touch sensor detection and demodulation" It can perceive sensor at close range and can cooperate with traditional multi-touch screen to extend user control area beyond the screen, thereby detecting the non-contact gesture. This technology is somewhat different with 3D Touch pressure touch technology of iPhone6s. 3D Touch measures the intensity of the user touch down, and the new 3D suspension gesture control patent measures user actions over the screen.

The industry is committed to study the non-contact interaction, such as through the camera and certain other long-distance optical system to operate long range gesture control. Apple's 3D suspension gesture control patent operational mechanism is as follow: LED light irradiation on the user's finger, returned after being captured by the photodiode to achieve controlling iPhone without touch the screen. The system can detect fingers, hands and other objects which suspended over the screen

As we known, tungsten crucible cultivated sapphire crystal with high hardness, high light transmittance, wear resistance and other excellent physical and chemical properties, favored by many. Sapphire often use as LED substrates, currently, LED sapphire substrate material on the market has sapphire, silicon and silicon carbide. Sapphire as LED substrate material has many advantages: Firstly, the sapphire substrate production technology is mature, having better quality; secondly, sapphire has excellent physical property and stability chemical property can be used in high temperature growth process; thirdly, sapphire has high mechanical strength, easy handling and cleaning; and finally, the price is reasonable. Although the sapphire has poor thermal conductivity, and there is no major impact on small current work. Thus sapphire using in LED lighting is more widely.

According to reports, the US local time on January 5, Huawei and Swarovski launched its first women-only AndroidWear smart watches. The smart watch called HUWEI WATCH Jewel and Elegant is specifically for women consumers to create.

The watch is 44mm round dial and on the top of dial inlaid with 68 Swarovski rhinestones diameter of 1.5mm. In addition, the dial plate was made by sapphire glass mirror and the highest pixel density of the display, so that the watch has the best display and scratch resistant properties. The body of the smart watch is stainless steel and white and blue crocodile calfskin strap of watch is from Italy. What’s more, there pre-installed 40 kinds of dial patterns in the watch, including 10 female models are exclusive designs.

HUWEI WATCH Jewel and Elegant smart watch equipped with Android Wear operating system, which can interact with smart phone having Android 4.3 or above iOS8.2 system to achieve Bluetooth interaction, message alerts and other functions. On the other hand, the watch also supports sports health monitoring and heart rate monitoring.

Tungsten crucible because of its good properties commonly used in the sapphire growth furnace, so cultivated sapphire single crystal has good characteristics. In addition, to obtain excellent performance of sapphire, process selection and temperature field setting is also very critical. According to different crystal growth methods of sapphire crucible used are not the same. Using kyropoulos method to produce sapphire usually use tungsten crucible. Using heat exchange method to produce sapphire usually use molybdenum crucible, because in the last step will broke the crucible to take single crystal and molybdenum crucible is relatively cheap than tungsten crucible. Using tungsten crucible to produce sapphire has many good characteristics such as high strength, high hardness, and wear resistance and so on, so it is widely used in mobile phones and watch screen and other areas, with good prospects for future development.

If you thought that Graphene is going to be the next do-everything material, we are sorry to tell you that you are wrong! According to Journal of Power Sources: Multi-use titanium dioxide which is expected to turn into nano-fiber will become a best material to replace Graphene due to the quantum high loading and surface catalytic activity, the microscopic reaction mechanism, cheap TiO₂ Crystal.



TiO₂ is made by forming titanium dioxide crystals into nano-fibers, then forming those nano-fibers into flexible membranes. The scientists who developed the material are hoping that it can help with two of the world’s biggest problems: a lack of clean drinking water and the need for clean, renewable energy. So far, the applications of TiO₂ include producing clean water, energy, hydrogen, and killing bacteria, being formed into flexible solar cells, and even extend the useful lifespan of batteries. What’s more is that the materials used to make TiO₂ are cheap and readily available, making its possibilities nearly endless.

Previously, breakthrough in high-end application of titanium dioxide is occurred frequently. In the super capacitor manufacturing process, Australia found an insulating material—Rutile coating with indium-niobium compounds (TiO₂) which can store more electricity, but loss less. Therefore, According to USTC, TiO₂ is expected to achieve application in organic solar cell preparation and solar energy translates into chemical energy of environmental protection and other aspects.
