Dell Previews Ultra-thin Adamo Laptop Design

Hoping to generate some buzz around its Adamo laptops, Dell showed off an ultra-thin design on Wednesday that could heat up the race between PC makers trying to build the world’s thinnest laptop.

Dell put up a Web page Wednesday showing an Adamo that measures just 9.9 mm (0.4 inches) at its thinnest point. That’s almost half as thick as the current Adamo 13, which measured 16.39 mm (0.65 inches) at its thinnest point.

Dell insisted on calling the product a “design concept,” however, and it wasn’t immediately clear if Dell will actually release a laptop that thin. It said specifications and further details would come at a later date.

The XPS brand is used by Dell for its mid-range consumer laptops and desktops. Dell intends to push the Adamo brand across a range of luxury products, the company has said.

If the device is released it could give Dell a leg up on Apple, whose MacBook Air measures 0.76 inches at its thinnest point. Apple first showed the MacBook Air in 2008, calling it “the world’s thinnest laptop.” Dell launched Adamo in March this year, drawing comparisons with the Air on size and features. Both laptops come with screens around 13 inches and weigh 3 to 4 pounds.

Dell used a similar teasing tactic earlier this year when it put up a Web site to drum up interest in the Adamo 13. Prior to that it had trouble keeping development of the product under wraps. Rumors circulated late last year that Dell was building a laptop to rival the MacBook Air.

The rumor was confirmed when the laptop was shown at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. However, Dell did not reveal product specifications at the time, saying it was showing Adamo to end the speculation about whether it existed

Foxconn Technology plans to launch its first smartbooks next year, which are mini-laptops that use microprocessors from Arm Holdings normally found in smartphones.

Smartbooks are similar to netbooks except that they don’t use Intel’s popular Atom microprocessor nor other x86 processors.

Foxconn has been asked by telecommunications companies in China and elsewhere to develop smartbooks due to their low prices, said Young Liu, special assistant to the CEO at Foxconn, on the sidelines of an Intel press conference in Taipei.

They’re attracted to the price range of a smartbook, US$100 to $200, he said. “That’s a lot lower than a netbook,” he said. “There will be a lot of demand for a sub-$200 device.”

His company is working on “less than five” smartbooks right now, he said, declining to name a specific number. The devices, codenamed Qbooks, use a few different Linux operating systems, including one similar to the Intel-backed Moblin OS and one developed by Foxconn. The company is currently looking into Google’s Android mobile OS for possible use as well, he said.

The smartbooks his company is developing will have screens between 7 and 10 inches, the same size as standard netbook screens.

He said Foxconn’s first smartbook will likely be available next year, but added that if Intel puts out a microprocessor that can compete with Arm’s chip on price, his company may use that instead and make netbooks.

Foxconn is the trade name for Taiwan’s Hon Hai Precision Industry, the world’s largest contract electronics manufacturer. The company owns several subsidiaries and affiliates operating under various Foxconn names, including Foxconn Electronics and Foxconn International, under the group umbrella, Foxconn Technology Group.

Smartbooks from several Taiwanese contract manufacturers were displayed at Computex Taipei in June, including Pegatron, the contract arm of Asustek Computer; Wistron, formerly Acer’s contract manufacturing operation; and Elitegroup Computer Systems

The purchase of a stake in Lenovo’s parent company, Legend Holdings, by a private investment group could be followed by more moves away from Chinese government influence in the company, Legend said Tuesday.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences, a state-controlled high-tech research institute and the largest stakeholder in Legend, is reducing its holding in the company to bring it closer to the private sector. The academy wants market experience to play a bigger role in the corporate governance, management and marketing of its subsidiaries, it said in a joint statement with Legend.

In a step toward that goal, the academy is selling a 29 percent stake in Legend to China Oceanwide Holdings Group, a private conglomerate, for 2.76 billion yuan (US$404 million), Legend said last week.

The move comes as Lenovo, the world’s fourth-biggest PC maker, struggles to recover from a major hit to its sales from the global economic crisis. The company this year began restructuring to bring its focus back to emerging markets and has posted net losses for the last three quarters. Legend is responsible for strategic guidance and governance for subsidiaries including Lenovo, Legend said.

“Many clients abroad may think Lenovo is a nationally-controlled company,” Liu Chuanzhi, the chairman of Lenovo and newly named chairman of Legend, said at a briefing. “China Oceanwide’s entrance makes even clearer that Lenovo is a private enterprise.”

The state academy will still retain a 36 percent stake in Legend, remaining the company’s biggest investor, but it may move to end that status. The academy aims to reduce its stakeholding in companies to below 35 percent by 2010, it said.

Legend also hopes eventually to list on a stock market, Liu said, a move that could dilute the academy’s holdings in Legend.

Executives declined to comment on what business deals might be reached between the companies held by Legend and China Oceanwide, but said there was room for cooperation. Legend’s subsidiaries besides Lenovo are focused on equity investment and real estate, while China Oceanwide has holdings in industries like real estate, finance and energy.

Legend is also an investor in a new $115 million angel investment fund launched this week by Kai-Fu Lee, Google’s former China head.

China Lithium Battery Patent Battle

The article comes from http://www.mylaptopbattery.co.uk/blog/2009/09/03/china-lithium-battery-patent-battle/

In the first half of this year, this newspaper since 3114, the four successive interest of the University of Texas and its commercial mandate Hydro Quebec, Canada, Phostech alleges that the U.S. battery maker A123 (GEM), Inc., Vaillant (Valence) Company Infringement lithium iron phosphate patent dispute. This series of reports have caused widespread concern outside the industry. Today, lithium HP laptop battery?iron phosphate batteries on the topic of the patent once again affects the electric car industry’s nerves, but the protagonist of the incident replaced by China.
Lithium iron phosphate in North America patent litigation battle it, when a lithium iron phosphate battery patents to defend the war broke out in China.
DVD patent pool in order to avoid recurrence of this tragedy, our country more than the battery companies and research institutions are positive actions, to collect evidence to prove that Hydro Quebec and the French research center in China last year, the application of carbon lithium iron phosphate-layering technology patents ( Phostech Canada has been exclusively licensed to the company) is invalid. However, the present situation hp PB991A battery ,hp PB992A battery, the Chinese side want to win, extremely difficult.
■ foreign success in China for carbon-layering technology patents
This year, our electric cars and motive power batteries of the forum is particularly high. In almost every forum, can see the shadow of Canada Phostech company representatives.
Not long ago, the fourth South China Lithium Power (International) high-level Technical Forum held in Shenzhen. Made a special trip from Canada came to participate in the forum Phostech Rice, CEO? Toston smiling. After the introduction of products and technology, Toston answered live audience on the patent question. He said: “In the United States, the Tribunal intends to recess for some time to continue to hear from companies such as our A123 lithium iron phosphate battery patent dispute. Last December, the European Patent Office rejected the Phostech the company’s lithium iron phosphate battery patent application . We intend to continue to apply for patents, is expected to be approved in 2010. In addition, in Japan, we are also actively apply for a patent. ”
Toston talked about Phostech companies in the United States, Japan and Europe patent applications received, but did not mention China, and I wonder if the wish to avoid. According to report, in 1999, the French scientific research center, Professor Michael? Oman and Germany invented the carbon-layering technology, solves the conductivity of lithium iron phosphate materials, poor problem. Subsequently, from Hydro Quebec and the French Scientific Research Center have applied for the patent. In 2008, the two institutions in the Chinese patent application is approved, the patent has been the exclusive right to use license to the Canadian Phostech company.
Seize the high ground in the patent, after, Phostech actively explore the Chinese market. Currently, the company has opened an office in Shanghai. At the same time, its high-level frequent appearances in China, and actively promote the company’s lithium iron phosphate batteries and materials hp PB994A battery ,hp PB995A battery.
■ two patents can not bypass
Li-Quan Chen Chinese Academy of Engineering, told reporters in the lithium iron phosphate batteries and material field, there are two core technology patents is impossible to bypass, one of which is the layering of carbon technology patents, and the other is the carbon-thermal reduction technology patents. The former has applications in China, the Canadian company has the exclusive right to use Phostech; the latter owned by the United States Viagra can be company, has yet to apply for a patent in China. However, Viagra can be company has set up two companies in Suzhou — Vaillant Technology Co., Ltd., Takeyasu Energy Limited, are responsible for the production of lithium iron phosphate materials, and battery production. In order to seize the Chinese market, Viagra can be company does not rule out the patent on the trivial.

Academician Li-Quan Chen also told this reporter in a surprising thing: It turned out that Viagra can be company owned by the carbon thermal reduction technology patents, is entirely his students — Dong masterpiece.
In 2000, Dong switched from a Canadian company to enter the United States Vaillant, serving as a senior research fellow. Prior to that, he has been the French National Research Center for Condensed Matter Physics Institute of Chemistry of Bordeaux and received a doctorate and post-doctoral study in the United States. In Vaillant’s work, Dong fully demonstrated the Chinese people industrious, intelligent character in just six years, he helped Vaillant companies in 28 countries around the world applied for the patent materials, lithium iron phosphate (Dong is the inventor , the property Vaillant companies hp PP2182D battery ,hp PP2182L battery).
However, things are unpredictable, Dong was perhaps never imagined that today, these patents would become the Chinese battery enterprises to enter the field of lithium iron phosphate battery barrier.
“At that time, I can think of their own materials, lithium iron phosphate formulations and preparation methods are written out and apply for a patent. Some of the patent, Viagra can be company already has the appropriate technology at that time, and others are under development, There are simply not begun to study. This series of patents is very tight, almost covering the manufacturing aspects of lithium iron phosphate battery is indeed hard to break. “talking about past events, Dong told this reporter.
■ want the patent is invalid, the Chinese side little chance of toppling
“In the lithium iron phosphate batteries and materials, China has absolutely can not be called art. A small number of corporate patents, said there is no problem, it is nonsense, and there are many complex issues to be resolved. If we say that, for the University of Texas and the A123 Corporation Lithium iron phosphate between the patent dispute, we are somewhat indifferent manner of taste, then, this time with the Phostech companies in China to obtain the carbon-layering technology patents, as well as companies such as Viagra can seize the Chinese market, speed up, patent issues very realistic placed in front of us, not be evaded. “a company official said the battery hp Pavilion DV1000 battery ,hp Pavilion dv2000 battery.
It is aware of this, these batteries before businesses and relevant research institutions together to gather evidence, look forward to tear down barriers to multinational patents.
State Intellectual Property Office a staff surnamed Wang told reporters, “Patent Law” Article 22 clearly provides that a patent application at least have novelty, creativity and practicality, and there is no other substantive issues in order to be authorized. By the same token, if you want the patent invalid, the State Intellectual Property Office shall review committee to pursue the invalid request has been authorized by the patent to prove there is no novelty, inventiveness or usefulness. If rejected, you need to bring an action through the legal channels to resolve.
The staff member also said that the best means of proof is to find a one or more previously public documents, and to compare the patent claims, if the overlap, you can prove that the patent lacks novelty. Corporate sources, and now they have found an open literature, but the arguments are not particularly strong. Once the proceedings, the odds are not great.
Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Physics, doctoral tutor Huang Xue-Jie said, after the U.S. Japan’s NTT paid 30 million yuan (equivalent to RMB) settlement, the only solution of the lithium iron phosphate material patent disputes. Many enterprises in Taiwan is to spend money to buy other companies to Phostech the right to use the patent. “If in the end, China and Japan, companies have to embark on the road to spend money on patent licensing, which is China’s iron phosphate lithium battery manufacturers would be a bad news, but also a sad thing hp Pavilion DV4000 battery ,hp Pavilion DV5000 battery ,hp Pavilion dv6000 battery.”
