ZTE’s chip unit, ZTE Microcircuits, which changed its nane to Sanechips, has licensed the CEVA-X1 IoT processor. Sanechips wants the Ceva IP for its Narrowband-Internet of Things (NB-IoT) product, the RoseFinch7100. Sanechips recently took part in the first large scale field test of NB-IoT using its pre-commercial RoseFinch chipset. The trial, organized by China Mobile, tested ...

Fujitsu Laboratories has developed a technology to retrieve similar disease cases from a computed tomography (CT) database of previously taken images. The technology works by retrieving similar cases of abnormal shadows expanding in a three-dimensional manner. Technologies already exist to retrieve similar cases based on CT images for such diseases as early-stage lung cancer, in ...
