CHINA LAUNCHES FIRST ROCKET DESIGNED BY PRIVATE COMPANY

AsiaNet 73627
 
CHONGQING, China, May 21, 2018 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--
 
An OS-X rocket named "Chongqing Liangjiang Star" saw its maiden flight finish at 7:33 am on May 17 in a test field in Northwest China.
  
The launch of the "Chongqing Liangjiang Star" rocket, developed by OneSpace Technology, a Beijing-based private firm, marks the first time a non-state Chinese rocket has successfully entered orbit. The rocket is nine meters long and weighs 7,200 kilograms. It has a maximum altitude of 38.742 kilometers and a top speed of more than 5.7 times the speed of sound during its maiden flight which covered 273 kilometers and lasted 306 seconds.
  
The flight not only tested the X-series rockets' functions, but also completed certain scientific research tasks, such as verifying drag reduction and heat reduction of pneumatic struts, which will help provide technical support for future product design. It also helped verify certain test conditions like maximum height (40 km) and Mach number (4-6). The success of the flight, meanwhile, proved the effectiveness of cooperation between higher-education institutions and companies, according to Shu Chang, founder and CEO of OneSpace.
 
The OS-X rockets are flight carrying platforms specifically designed for aerospace technologies test. They help fill the gap in China's aviation test industry and will promote practices and applications of advanced aerospace technologies.
  
OneSpace Technology set up a branch in Chongqing Liangjiang New Area, which focuses on production and assembly while the Beijing headquarter centers on research and development.

The successful development of the OneSpace rocket has lifted the new area's aerospace industrial competitiveness to a new level. Chongqing Liangjiang New Area has developed a comprehensive industrial cluster with presence at general-purpose aviation, transportation aviation and aerospace.  The new area will leverage the strengths of academics and industrial development to promote the sector's growth.
 
Chongqing Liangjiang New Area is the third national new area directly approved by the State Council after Shanghai's Pudong New Area and Tianjin's Binhai New Area. It is also China's first inland national open new area.

TOSHIBA RELEASES PHOTORELAY FOR FACTORY AUTOMATION AND OTHER INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

- High current surface mount device is UL1577 approved

TOKYO, May 16 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has released the new TLP3122A photorelay for factory automation and other industrial applications including building automation, security and semiconductor testing.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here:https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180516005532/en/

The new photorelay integrates MOSFET devices fabricated using the latest U-MOS IX process to reduce on-state resistance. Housed in the small 4-pin SO6 package, the TLP3122A provides an off-state output terminal voltage (VOFF) of 60V, a constant on-state current (ION) of 1.4A and an on-state pulsed current (IONP) up to 4.2A. The on-state resistance (RON) is typically just 0.13Ω, allowing highly efficient operation while the off-state current is only 1μA.

INVIVOSCRIBE RELEASES THE LYMPHOTRACK DX TRB ASSAY AS CE-MARKED IVD KIT, COMPLETING THE NGS CLONALITY SUITE FOR THE MISEQ PLATFORM

SAN DIEGO, May 16 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Invivoscribe Technologies Inc., a global company with decades of experience providing clonality and biomarker test solutions for the fields of oncology and personalized molecular medicine, today announced the release of the LymphoTrack® Dx TRB Assay for the Illumina® MiSeq® platform, a CE-marked next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay kit for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use. Invivoscribe is the only company offering a complete suite of CE-marked NGS clonality assays designed to assess clonality for both diagnostic and tracking purposes. The LymphoTrack Dx TRB Assay for the ThermoFisher Scientific® Ion PGM™ and Ion S5™ instruments will be released later this year.

Leukemias and lymphomas generally originate from the malignant transformation of individual lymphoid cells, causing the vast majority of lymphoid malignancies to share one or more cell-specific or “clonal” rearrangements. The LymphoTrack Dx TRB assay identifies clonal TRB Vβ-(Dβ-)Jβ rearrangement sequences, and the accompanying LymphoTrack Dx bioinformatics software provides a clear summary of the frequency distribution. These clonal sequences can be used to monitor minimal residual disease (MRD) in longitudinal studies, which track the disease as well as the effectiveness of therapies aimed towards their eradication.
