 car will enter the market soon after.
According to CNN, TSMC has announced its intention to build and operate an advanced semiconductor fab in Arizona, USA. Such a move will affect not only the semiconductor industry but also change the global patent deployment in this field.
Bace Tseng, vice president of WISPRO Technology Consulting Corporation has observed that governments have started to focus on domestic manufacturing capacity after the US-China trade war and COVID-19. The rebuild of the supply chain will make everyone rethink their patent deployment strategy. Corporations should keep a close eye on patent lifecycle management and transnational patent applications and frequently trim their portfolios to stay competitive.
The COVID-19 Pandemic Has Impacted the 5G Mobile Industry. Will Trump’s Extended Huawei Ban Make It Worse? WISPRO Analyst Mike Pao: The Uncertainty of the 5G Market Is Increasing.
According to RCRWirelessNews, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)—a standards-establishing organization that developed several protocols for mobile communications that are still in use today—has also been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. As per the latest timeline, Stage 3 Release 16 specifications will be finalized this month with the proposed date for the subsequent Release 17 being put back to December 2021—a delay of three months.
Besides, until the end of this year, the majority of the organization’s activities will be performed online, such as email discussions and video meetings. These online activities won’t work as efficiently as pre-pandemic offline activities.
On the other hand, information from Android Centra indicates that several mobile device companies have postponed the rollout of their 5G smartphones this year. For example, OPPO has altered its sale schedule in India for the OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 8 Pro—two of OPPO’s latest 5G smartphones—due to unforeseen circumstances.
The controlling power dispute between Taishin Financial Holdings and the Ministry of Finance raises its ugly head again.
WISPRO attorney Ray Sun: Taiwanese investors may need to consider choosing international investment arbitration to settle investment disputes.
According to CM Media, there is an election for the controlling power over Chang Hwa Bank (CHB) this month. With that, the controlling power dispute between Taishin Financial Holding (TFH) and the Ministry of Finance comes to the fore again.
Ray Sun, attorney of WISPRO Law Offices of International Commerce, indicates that this case involves not only domestic issues but also international investment arbitration.
Generally, foreign investors will file litigations toward the domestic government if the domestic government expropriates foreign investment. However, there might be some concerns about the biased judgment of the domestic government. Recently, Taiwan has entered into bilateral investment agreements with several Asian countries. If any investment disputes arise from Taiwanese investors and Asian countries, Taiwanese investors may consider choosing international investment arbitration to settle investment disputes.
It is a common practice to utilize commercially available software tools to design matching networks for wireless communication systems. Most of these tools require a properly selected matching network topology with good initial element values. Therefore in this paper a practical method is presented to generate matching networks with initial element values. In the implementation process of the proposed method first the driving point immitance data for the matching network is obtained in a straight forward manner without optimization. Then it is modeled as a realizable bounded-real input reflection coefficient which in turn yields the desired matching network with reasonable element values. Eventually the initial design is improved by optimizing the performance of the matched system employing the commercially available computer-aided design (CAD) packages. An example is given to illustrate the utilization of the proposed method. It is shown that new method provides excellent results as a front-end when utilized together with CAD tools.

If I could go back 500 posts, I might change the whole ballerina theme to this blog, but I’m too sentimental to do it now. Yes – 500 posts ago, I wrote for Not A Ballerina for the very first time. Of course, it has taken me over six years to reach this milestone so I am not exactly a prolific blogger but I am a steady one (and they win the race, if you recall).
 For example, my 100th post was about experiencing the Anzac tradition at the dawn ceremony in Perth. For those not in the know, Anzac Day is all about remembering those who have served for Australian defence forces and it is a solemn but proud day for us Aussies.
Post number 200 was my patriotic (patriotic on my husband’s side, that is) post on Germany and a soccer tournament. Yes, you wouldn’t have to read this blog for long to notice I have a bias towards Germany (although my bias towards Australia is bigger!). I’m not exactly a soccer maniac (well, not even close really) but it’s a good demonstration of how travel broadens your horizons because soccer and especially the FIFA World Cup have often come up in my global wanderings.
By the time I got around to my 300th post, I was reminiscing about my first big trip through Europe as a nine-year-old and wrote about one of our most exciting episodes there, driving with the Italian police. That trip through Europe certainly cemented my love of travel – fortunately this run-in with the police didn’t have the opposite effect.
My 400th post remains a sentimental one for me, with several photos of everyday life in Amagatsuji, the little town I lived in during my second year in Japan. That’s another thing you’d notice if you hung around this blog for a while – I love Japan, and nearly all things Japanese. How could you not?
And my 500th post? Well, that’s this one! I guess when I started this blog at my tiny wooden desk in my small flat in Heilbronn I didn’t really know what it would lead to. Not only have I gone on to write 500 posts, it’s also led to all kinds of freelance travel writing jobs, the opportunity to teach others how to blog, and to start a small consultancy business in blogging and social media. Thanks, blog. And happy 500th post.
Happy 500th Ballerina! very interesting looking back on your milestones and hearing how it all began 🙂 you have done very well my friend. here’s to 500 more!
Congratulations – a great milestone to reach no matter how long it took!! I wonder how long it will take for 500 more??!!
500 posts! That’s quite an achievement. I’ve recently gone over the 100 mark after about two years – hope we both keep on posting.
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): A Fort Wayne woman pleaded guilty to causing skull fractures to her baby Wednesday.
Ashley Gilbert, 23, pleaded guilty to neglect of a dependent according to the Journal Gazette. A second neglect charge was dropped as part of the plea deal.
Gilbert’s baby was sent to the hospital with a head injury last June twice about 10 days apart for a head injury. Doctors told police the baby suffered two traumatic brain injuries.
Gilbert could spend two years of a four-year sentence in prison.
The tour paradise awaits you!
