The morning's work is over, brush the mobile phone in my spare time, see the four good news from Chinese science and technology, excited, I want to quickly codeword and share it with you!
First: 5G empowers the field of domestic robots, and completes the feat of cross-sea remote surgery for the first time
According to fast technology news, relying on 5G communication technology, the first surgical robot independently developed by mainland China has successfully realized cross-sea remote surgery. On the morning of July 9, the urology team of Hainan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and experts from Peking University First Hospital remotely collaborated to carry out robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for a 75-year-old patient. This is the first time that a domestic surgical robot uses 5G signals to transmit across land and sea to complete difficult operations.
It is difficult to continuously transmit signals across the sea, which is affected by various environmental factors such as surges, temperature, and weather. Cross-sea telesurgery has become an international technical problem faced by the medical industry. In this operation, experts from Hainan and Beijing successfully combined the surgical robot with 5G communication technology to establish an integrated system that is almost synchronized with the same frequency. While ensuring stable signal transmission, the remote operation time difference is controlled within 100 milliseconds, realizing real-time communication of intraoperative information.
The low latency characteristics of 5G technology were fully demonstrated in this operation. Although in daily life, people's perception of 5G is mainly focused on the improvement of network speed, but in scenarios with high latency requirements, such as factories and transportation facilities, 5G plays a vital role. Future fully autonomous vehicles will also be deeply integrated with 5G technology.
Industry giants such as Huawei are already actively promoting 5.5G construction and striving to achieve greater breakthroughs in performance such as latency and speed. It is understood that Huawei plans to launch a full set of 5.5G network equipment for commercial use in 2024, when it will refresh the 5G experience again.
My opinion: From the successful realization of 5G cross-sea remote surgery by domestic surgical robots, we can see that the application prospects of 5G technology in the medical field are very broad. 5G technology can not only improve the accuracy of surgery, but also realize the possibility of remote surgery, providing strong support for the optimal allocation of medical resources. With the continuous development and application of 5G technology, we have reason to believe that more innovations and breakthroughs will be achieved in the medical field in the future.
Second: Chinese technology giants are competing for the AI big model market, who can surpass ChatGPT?
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, global technology companies have devoted themselves to the research and development of AI large models. Earlier this year, OpenAI released ChatGPT, which triggered global industry competition. Chinese technology companies have shown a strong desire for development in this competition, and the number of AI models released by major domestic companies has reached nearly 100.
Not only giant enterprises such as BAT, Byte, JD.com, and Huawei actively participated, but universities, research institutes and startups have also launched their own large models. According to statistics, as of the end of May, there were at least 79 large models with more than 1 billion parameters in the domestic market. In the past June and this month, more companies plan to launch their own large models. This makes the number of large AI models in China far exceed that of the United States, and the competition is extremely fierce.
Most of the AI models are mainly conversational AI, such as ChatGPT. Huawei and other enterprises have chosen to launch the Pangu 3.0 model for the industry, which is unique in the domestic market. However, the performance of domestic AI large models is uneven. Most companies try to compete with ChatGPT, but from user feedback, there are not many products that can reach the GPT-3.5 level, and even fewer can reach the GPT-4 level.
At present, the only company in China that has publicly announced that it will surpass ChatGPT is iFLYTEK, and its Spark model plans to surpass ChatGPT in October this year. According to Liu Qingfeng, chairman of iFLYTEK, the Spark model is only one step away from ChatGPT, and the difference between the two is less than two points. iFLYTEK Spark plans to upgrade in phases on June 9, August 15 and October 24 this year, and finally achieve universal model benchmarking ChatGPT and achieve industry leadership in education, medical and other fields.
My opinion: Chinese tech companies are increasingly competing in the field of AI big models. However, in order to truly lead, enterprises need to pay attention not only to the number of products, but also to improve the quality of technology and the expansion of application scenarios. Only by making breakthroughs in depth and breadth can China's AI models have a chance to win the recognition of the global market.
Third: The world's largest salt-solar complementary project was officially connected to the grid for power generation, helping 1.5 million households use electricity
According to fast technology and CCTV news reports, Huadian Tianjin Haijing 1 million kilowatt salt-solar complementary photovoltaic project, the world's largest single salt-solar complementary project, has recently been officially connected to the grid for power generation. The project is located in Changlu Salt Field in Tianjin Binhai New Area, covering an area of about 20,000 mu, equivalent to 1,868 football fields. The project can provide 1.5 billion kWh of clean electricity per year, equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.25 million tons, and is expected to meet the annual electricity needs of 1.5 million households.
Salt-light complementary technology is a new three-dimensional and efficient production method that combines salt drying and photovoltaic power generation. Under the premise of ensuring the production performance of the basic salt industry, photovoltaic modules are erected at a certain height on the salt pan to realize the effective operation of water power generation, salt drying on the water surface, underwater aquaculture, and realize three uses in one place, greatly improving the output value efficiency per unit area.
The biggest difference between Huadian Haijing photovoltaic power station and other photovoltaic power plants is that its photovoltaic array spacing is large, reaching 14 meters, almost twice as much as other photovoltaic power plants. The aim is to minimize the occlusion of the water surface by photovoltaic panels and the impact on salt production. In addition, the slope of the photovoltaic panels is precisely designed to be 17 degrees, while most of the other photovoltaic power plants are thirty or forty degrees. This is because 17 degrees is the least obstruction of the water from the perspective of the sun's trajectory throughout the year.
It is worth mentioning that the photovoltaic panels here have the function of double-sided power generation. In addition to the above can directly absorb sunlight for power conversion, its back can also absorb the sunlight reflected from the water surface, which alone can improve the power generation efficiency by 5~7%.
My opinion: The Tianjin Haijing photovoltaic project put into operation this time demonstrates the great advantages and potential of salt-solar complementary technology. In the context of the country's vigorous promotion of green development strategy, the development of new energy has become an important direction. The successful application of salt-light complementary technology will bring new impetus to the development of the mainland's new energy industry, and also provide strong support for solving the global energy crisis and environmental problems.
The successful implementation of the salt-light complementary technology means that we have taken an important step forward in energy utilization. This innovative model of one place and three uses not only improves the output value per unit area, but also reduces the pressure on the environment. As the world's largest salt-solar complementary project, Tianjin Haijing photovoltaic project undoubtedly sets an example for domestic and foreign counterparts, demonstrating China's leading position in the field of green energy. It is hoped that more such projects will be put into operation in the future to promote the prosperity and development of green energy.
Fourth: Apple China was fined one after another: After being fined for false advertising, it became the executor
Recently, Apple's Chinese market has been in turmoil. According to the China Enforcement Information Disclosure Network, Apple Electronic Products Trading (Beijing) Co., Ltd. became the defendant on July 6, and the enforcement court was the Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Court, and the enforcement target was 6,442 yuan. The problems encountered by Apple China are closely related to the incident last week in which it was fined 30,000 yuan for false advertising.
Since its establishment in December 2007, Apple Electronics Trading (Beijing) Co., Ltd. is wholly owned by Apple Operations International Limited, with a registered capital of 45 million US dollars, and the legal representative is Tejas Kirit Gala.
Last week, Apple China was fined 30,000 yuan for misleading consumers with an advertisement for the "iPhone Yearly Renewal Plan." The vague wording in the ad leads consumers to think that they can easily upgrade their phones by purchasing a select new iPhone and AppleCare+ service plan, when in fact the business discount cannot be combined with this plan. This restriction is only indicated in the terms and conditions of the Jump Page and is not described on the Ads Page.
Apple China immediately revised and improved the advertising content after receiving the penalty. However, soon after rectifying the false advertising incident, Apple China fell into new legal trouble and became the executor.
My opinion: This succession of events reflects the problems in actual implementation, increasing Apple's pressure on the Chinese market. Apple's market share in China has declined over the past year, and new legal issues could further affect Apple's brand image and market position.
In response to these incidents, we believe that Apple should thoroughly review and rectify its advertising and promotional activities to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations and avoid misleading consumers. In addition, Apple needs to strengthen communication with the Chinese market, understand consumer needs, and enhance brand reputation to consolidate its position in the Chinese market.
