Q: Issue with CAN communication between Teensy 4.1 and Arduino Nano I am trying to do CAN communication between Teensy 4.1 and Arduino Nano. For the communication between the Teensy and Nano, I am using a TJA1050 transceiver on Teensy side and MCP2515 CAN module on the Nano side. I am able to do CAN communication between two Nano using MCP2515, so I know that my mcp2515 is working properly.
When I am sending the data, it shows that the data is being sent from Teensy, but it stops sending data after 17 iterations and also the
Arduino Nano is not receiving any data. I also tried setting the same bit rate but could not see anything being received on the Nano. I have used ACAN_T4 and and ACAN2515 libraries.

If you can help me out with this problem, it will be a great help.
Thank you.

A: It is working now. I changed the clock frequency in the Arduino Nano's code to 8MHZ from 16MHZ. The can controller that I am using has 8Mhz crystal. The example had used 16 Mhz frequency hence I was using the same frequency. I had used 16MHZ for communication between the two Nano and it was working hence the confusion.

What makes Pittsburgh different as an edtech hub? Collaboration — and Mister Rogers
by Frank Catalano on January 30, 2018 at 7:37 am January 30, 2018 at 8:30 am
GeekWire is putting its own HQ2 in Pittsburgh for the month of February 2018 — reporting on the people, technologies and ideas transforming the industrial city into an innovation powerhouse.

Ask those in Pittsburgh's thriving education technology community what makes the city different from other edtech hubs such as Silicon Valley, Boston or New York City, and a single word is repeated: collaboration.
"Pittsburgh has this incredible collaborative environment," said Sunanna Chand, director of Remake Learning, an eleven-year-old network of more than 500 schools, libraries, museums, nonprofits, foundations and others — including more than 40 private companies — in the Pittsburgh area. It's a kind of collaboration that Chand said isn't seen in many other cities.

"There are a lot of education technology companies, like Duolingo," Chand said, referring to the city's well-known language learning startup. "But it's so much a larger conversation than that."
When Chand talks about collaboration, she doesn't necessarily mean companies only working with each other. It's also connecting with 30-some higher education institutions in the region, and schools in 43 districts in Allegheny County alone, connections Remake Learning sees as part of its mission. "Our job is to say, how do we make those bridges stronger?" Chand said.
There are no hard and fast tallies on the number of edtech companies in the greater Pittsburgh region (the Pittsburgh Technology Council doesn't separate out "edtech" in how it maps its members). While exact metrics are elusive, there is the conviction among both long-time execs and newcomers that Pittsburgh is in the top tier of edtech hubs such as Silicon Valley and New York, in influence if not demonstrably in size.
More and more edtech companies are popping up, and we've now got a much stronger startup community through CMU.
To be sure, Pittsburgh's edtech ecosystem is not immune to the issues that face other education technology centers. Schools and districts have notoriously slow and convoluted sales cycles. Teachers can be finicky and, in recent years, are no longer as blinded by bright shiny edtech objects, which means that convincing schools to adopt new products, and pay for them, can be difficult.
"Educators are much more knowledgeable about the types of edtech and equipment that are most applicable," Chand said.
But it's Pittburgh's full ecosystem that led education consultant and author Tom Vander Ark (the first executive director of education for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and himself a resident of the Seattle area) to dub the city an "edtech hive" in 2013. Back then, Vander Ark cited the obvious influence and efforts of Carnegie Mellon University over the previous decade. But he also pointed to citywide Maker initiatives funded by the MacArthur Foundation — which can be everything from hands-on tech projects to 3D printing — and the wide range of edtech startups addressing not just K-12 education, but also consumer and adult education needs.
If anything, Pittsburgh's edtech cred appears to only have increased in the five years since.

This month, the Smithsonian Institution, through its Smithsonian Science Education Center, announced a "strategic alliance" with Carnegie Learning, an edtech company founded in Pittsburgh in 1998. Carnegie's focus on math and adaptive technology would be combined with the Smithsonian center's focus on science and engineering to create STEM products for K-12 students and teachers.
Remake Learning, in an almost overwhelming array of statistics, today points to more than 180 educational Maker spaces in the Pittsburgh region plus seven Mobile Fab Labs for those districts and learning centers without a permanent Maker space. Its Remake Learning Days in 2016 and 2017 had more than 53,000 youth and adults participate in 602 free and public events.
'Collaboration' is multi-faceted
But if collaboration is the word that's on everyone's lips, what it means depends on the speaker's perspective.
Steve Ritter. (Photo: Carnegie Learning)
Carnegie Learning's collaborative link to CMU is obvious on one level — the original math software originated inside CMU. Steve Ritter, co-founder and chief scientist, said that the link persists.
"Collaboration with the universities has also been really important to us in terms of keeping up with research on how people learn and also in recruiting staff," Ritter said. "I think that, if we'd been a technology company that wasn't focused on education, we might have moved — but the learning science community is very strong in Pittsburgh."
Those in the edtech community also emphasize collaboration between companies and classroom teachers.
"Compared to Silicon Valley, New York, or DC, I would say the edtech industry is not as saturated here in Pittsburgh," said Vivian Reidler, senior community specialist and language specialist for the language learning startup Duolingo, founded in 2011. "Schools aren't frequently bombarded with offers and requests from local companies. As a result, teachers and administrators tend to be more open to trying new things and collaborating with companies and researchers interested in improving their students' experience."
Chand also said Remake Learning frequently makes introductions to schools for edtech companies, both to help the companies develop new products and to pilot-test them. It's a type of connection that she said is "absolutely" harder to do in other cities. And it can be mutually beneficial. Chand said the educational and entertainment game startup Schell Games, based in Pittsburgh, "has done a tremendous amount of work reaching out to local school districts, helping them think through how to implement game-based learning in the classroom."

Mister Rogers' (edtech) Neighborhood
While few of Pittsburgh's educational technology companies are household names, they do represent a broad swath of the edtech landscape, from startups like Duolingo and BloomBoard to established firms like Carnegie Learning and Dynavox, a maker of special education software and speech communication devices that dates back to 1983.
But there are the widely known names, too.
Carnegie Mellon University is, of course, an easy-to-identify educational powerhouse associated with Pittsburgh. Yet a second Pittsburgh institution may have had even greater reach — even if most public television viewers of a certain age never realized The Fred Rogers Company was based in the city.
The classic and long-running PBS kids' series, "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," premiered 50 years ago this year. The sweater-clad Rogers was from Pittsburgh, and Chand says he used the innovative technology of his day — television — to reach kids. "Every single episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was filmed in Pittsburgh," Chand said.
Though Rogers died in 2003, "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" continues to be seen in reruns, and an animated spin-off for preschoolers, "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood," premiered in 2012. The non-profit Fred Rogers Company also produces the PBS KIDS programs "Peg + Cat" and "Odd Squad," working with companies like Schell Games. As a result, the Rogers organization continues to be an educational force in Pittsburgh (and has a few online games of its own).
It also probably doesn't hurt Pittsburgh's reputation that Tom Hanks was just named as the actor who will portray Rogers in the upcoming feature film about the children's television pioneer, "You Are My Friend."
A top-three edtech hub
Beyond collaboration and the network-coordination role of Remake Learning, Pittsburgh's edtech companies cite other advantages to the location compared to other tech-heavy cities, in addition to the oft-cited lower cost of living.
BloomBoard is a teacher professional learning startup founded in 2010 in Palo Alto that opened its Pittsburgh office in 2014, where its co-founder and president, Jason Lange, is located. "We work with schools and districts all across the U.S.," Lange told GeekWire. "Pittsburgh provides a central location for our clients in the east and midwest."
BloomBoard's "HQ2" in Pittsburgh, existing alongside its original Palo Alto location. (Photo: BloomBoard)
Talent, too, is an advantage. "Pittsburgh's specialties in learning science and artificial intelligence really make this a great place for edtech," said Carnegie Learning's Ritter. "I do think Pittsburgh's in the top three regions for edtech, particularly tech with an instructional focus."
Lange would rank Pittsburgh as number two, behind Silicon Valley/Bay Area. "The Bay is much more saturated in terms of people, companies, funding, etc. However," Lange said, "Pittsburgh is expanding by the day."
Removing the reality-distortion bubble
One difference that may not seem like an advantage to those in tech-industry heavy cities, which may be insulated in affluent bubbles of their own making, is greater Pittsburgh's wide range of school settings. They run from remote and rural to urban, with a lot of socioeconomic variation. "Some schools don't have abundant access to reliable internet, let alone the latest devices for each student," said Reidler of Duolingo. "Which makes us think about how we can adapt our platform to perform well with as many students as possible."

It ties back to what Remake Learning's Chand expressed as an important driver. "We need to use innovation as a tool for educational equity. We need more equitable access," she said.
While no local companies appear to be explicitly asking (in sweaters and sneakers), "Won't you be my neighbor?," more edtech talent is coming in to Pittsburgh, and that's just one of the changes in the education technology landscape over the past handful of years.
The most important thing is Pittsburgh's history and respect for using technology to improve education.
As Chand observed, local teachers have gotten more savvy as to what will work in their classrooms. On the startup side, Lange said, "More and more edtech companies are popping up, and we've now got a much stronger startup community through CMU."
Ritter agreed. "It's much more open to startups. When we started, the technology community was dominated by large companies, and we were very disconnected from them because we had very different concerns," Ritter said. "Now, there are lots of supports for startups and a pretty good community with which to share ideas."
Combined, it's led to what Jesse Schell, who founded Schell Games in 2002 and has watched it grow to more than 100 employees, called "a lot of momentum" that has gradually built. "The most important thing is Pittsburgh's history and respect for using technology to improve education," Schell said. "I really believe that Pittsburgh is on track to become the number one edtech city in the world."

Our new fast-track in Germany!
We are highly enthusiastic and thus offer this program for a one-time-only introduction price of only €1.350 (excl. MwSt).
This program is designed for people that aim to learn and experience design thinking but don't have time to spend on a four-months innovation expedition.
In four days, facilitated by experienced coaches, you take a deep dive into the method design thinking and you discover what it needs to sow a culture that fosters innovation & entrepreneurship.
During the varied course you and your team thoroughly work through all phases of the design thinking process, using a real-life case. This practical experience is complemented by specific master classes e.g. on innovation culture, customer empathy, agile methods in general or learnings from start-ups as well as exercises for personal reflection.
This program gives you far more than a basic introduction to design thinking, it offers you the possibility to connect and stay in contact with like-minded innovators and entrepreneurs.
This training is designed to introduce the participants to design thinking. During the training we guide you step by step through the different phases of the Dutch design.deltas. The method is based on the intuitive working method of designers and start-ups. It helps to reach quicker results with lower development costs and a stronger focus on customer needs. The bases of this method is the "WHY?".
The results are impactful solutions for complex challenges and problems.
In this part, intuition, refection and analysis are key. The participants learn how to dig deep, to see the customers in a new light, to discover the true needs of them (and other stakeholders) and detect the core of the problem.
This is the creative part of the training the participants learn how to facilitate the ideation process, to transform the central problem into ideas and to convert these in concepts/business models. They learn how to develop prototypes and experiment how to test these with the target group. At the end, the groups prepare a pitch focused on the product/market fit.
For a more detailed overview over the workshop structure, please check out our German Fast-Track Flyer.
The training location is in the centre of Hamburg so that you and your team have the possibility to go out and interview customers for your project. We often provide a real-life case but if you or your company struggle with a specific challenge that you want to find a solution for, please feel free to let us know. Together, we can discuss whether we can use it as an alternative case during the course.
During the training we provide you with lunch, snacks as well as drinks.
The participants and us often meet up privately for dinner as well, as this is a great opportunity to get to know each other even better and talk things through in a relaxed atmosphere.

Richard Ljoenes
People to Watch 2018 January 31, 2018 Gordon Kaye
FOUNDER/PRINCIPAL DESIGNER, RICHARD LJOENES DESIGN LLC, NEW YORK NY
Richard started his career as a sketch-artist with DMB&B/Clarion Advertising in his native Oslo, Norway. Eventually markers were replaced with a Mac and he developed into a driven designer. While thriving at the firm, his status as the sole soccer-hating male on the European continent eventually forced his emigration. He got his first start stateside with HarperCollins. During eleven years there he held numerous roles at several imprints, including Senior Art Director at ReganBooks, VP Senior Art Director at both the Collins imprint, and more recently, the Harper Division. In 2014, he started on the ground floor of ReganArts as Creative Director overseeing all cover and interior design for a range of fiction, non-fiction, and illustrated books. This past spring, Richard started his own studio. His work has been recognized by TDC, Graphis, GDUSA, The One Show, CA, Cannes Lions, AIGA/DesignObserver, Print, HOW, and The NY Book Show. He lives in Manhattan with his daughter, whom he continues to amaze daily, and his wife, who is less impressed by the minute.
WHERE WERE YOU BORN AND WHERE DO YOU LIVE NOW?
Born and raised in Oslo and currently live in Manhattan
DID YOU GO TO DESIGN SCHOOL?
Yes, the Mercantile Institute in Oslo and Academy of Art University in San Francisco
LEFTY OR RIGHTY?
Righty
MORNING PERSON OR NIGHT OWL?
FICTIONAL OR HISTORICAL CHARACTER YOU IDENTIFY WITH?
ARE YOU MUSICAL AND/OR DO YOU PLAY AN INSTRUMENT?
No. My dad is a musical conductor, plays several instruments and sings in a goddamn choir, but somehow this gene skipped my generation.
FAVORITE BOOK?
FAVORITE MOVIE?
FAVORITE TV BINGE WATCH?
FAVORITE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM?
FAVORITE FINE ARTIST?
Not all fine artists but they rock my world: Brody Neuenschwander, William Eggleston, Kareem Rizk, Rodrigo de Filippis, Cristiana Couceiro, Futura 2000, Gary Taxali
FAVORITE FREE TIME ACTIVITY?
Getting to know a tiny human that entered into my life a little less than two years ago
COLOR USED MOST OFTEN IN YOUR DESIGN?
Not a particular color, but I typically design with a restrained palette – two to three colors max
TYPEFACE USED MOST OFTEN IN YOUR DESIGN?
The project will always dictate font choices, but there are definitely work horses, Trade Gothic and Minion among them. I have a never-ending love affair with Helvetica and a love/hate relationship with handlettering.
DOES PRINT HAVE A ROLE IN YOUR DESIGNS?
I mainly design for book publishing. Of course there are electronic versions of most books now but, first and foremost, they are designed for print
DESIGN MENTOR/INSPIRATION/HERO?
Heroes: Vaughan Oliver, Chris Ashworth, Bill Cahan, Ian Anderson/TDR, Jennifer Sterling, Peter Mendelsund, John Gall, Gabriele Wilson, Shepard Fairey, Julian House/Intro UK, Kjetil Wold (Norwegian firms Anti and Bleed).
GREATEST STRENGTH/WEAKNESS AS A DESIGNER?
My greatest strength and biggest weakness is being a perfectionist. This doesn't mean I think my shit is perfect; it means the opposite. It also means that my process can be slow. I never let this affect client's deadlines (well, almost never), but it affects my personal life and leisure time (or lack thereof). Every once in a while I do something worthwhile, and I think going those extra miles is the only way I'd get there.
ADVICE TO A YOUNG DESIGNER JUST STARTING OUT?
Healthy work/life balance. Burn-out will come knockin' one day. Work on stuff that interests/inspires you. If you are slowly dying designing the wrong stuff for the wrong people, find a way out before you forget why you love this thing in the first place.
IF YOU WERE NOT A DESIGNER, WHAT WOULD YOU BE?

I've tried clicking Transparent Background, but it's still white. Am I missing something? How can I get just the elements of the animation on a transparent background?
Hi Bob, Th transparent setting isn't held in the SWF file itself but the HTML that EWA creates to hold the SWF animation. If you look at the File/ HTML Source dialog you'll see reference to the transparent setting. To do this in Freeway import your SWF into your Freeway page as normal and select Item/ Extended. Click New and enter; name: wmode value: transparent Click OK twice to back out of the dialogs and when you publish or preview you should now see the animation against your page color. Regards, Tim.
Tim, I did as stated in your post. It worked, but the only thing that is wrong is that the background for the EWA was the bottom layer (background of page). I needed the EWA on a picture and the transparent part be the picture and not the bottom layer. Is there a fix for this?
I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do but if you set the EWA background to transparent using the technique previously mentioned you can add your own 24-bit PNG images and any transparent areas will show through both the image and background to reveal the Freeway page below it. Regards, Tim.
Thanks for the response. I will try to explain better. I have the background (gray) on FWP and on top of that I have a picture. What I would like to do is put the EWA Flash on top of the picture and have the picture to be the background and not the gray background.
I followed your pervious post and I did get the EWA to be transparent but not the correct background.
OK. I think what I may have missed is that you also need to tell Freeway that the background of the Flash item should be transparent. Select the EWA item in your Freeway layout and select Item > Extended. Make sure the Embed tab is selected and click on the New button. in the resulting dialog enter; name:wmode value:transparent Click OK twice to get back to the document and preview to see if this looks any better. Now thye Flash object should be transparent, as well as the background in EWA and (hopefully) anything behind this should show through. Regards, Tim.
I still see the background (bottom layer). I would like to see the picture (second layer) as the background. The background is gray, the picture is next, and then the EWA Flash. The flash is showing the bottom layer and not the picture. Is there a way to show the second layer?
Yes, I created the rotating star animation in EWA and the rest 9the image and grey background) in Freeway. The thing to remember is to not only make sure that the background color is set to transparent in EWA but also in set the wmode in Freeway to transparent as well. See my previous post for details on how to do this. You won't see the image show through in Freeway's design view but as soon as you preview or publish the image should show through the transparent areas of the Flash object. I hope this helps. Regards, Tim.

Foxconn (Hong Hai Precision Industry) and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) have agreed to jointly establish an electric vehicle (EV) brand named Ceer. PIF is Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, and Ceer will operate as a joint venture of the two parties. As the country's first EV brand, Ceer will target not only the home market but also the wider regional markets of the Middle East and North Africa.
Saudi Arabia represents largest car market in the Middle East. The country's new car sales totaled 580,000 vehicle units for 2021. This year, however, has seen a decline with the figure for the first three quarters coming to 290,000. Until now, Saudi Arabia has no home-grown car brand, and there is no carmaker indigenous to the Middle East. Presently, Toyota and Hyundai are the two main automotive groups operating in Saudi Arabia. The former's and latter's market shares in the country come to 34% and 18% respectively. Also, since Saudi Arabia is one of the world's major oil producers and has kept gas prices low for its citizens, the conditions of its car market give an absolute advantage to vehicles powered by fossil fuels. Up to recently, Saudis have had no real incentives to invest in the development of electric cars and the build-out of the supporting infrastructure. In terms of "green" offerings, the Saudi car market so far has only received hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) from a few automotive brands (i.e., Toyota, Lexus, and Hyundai). Among countries in the Middle East, Israel is currently the leader with respect to EV availability.
Even though Saudi Arabia continues to build its wealth primarily through the exportation oil, it is now driven by government policies and the momentum of reform to develop a domestic EV industry. For instance, the Saudi government is promoting electrification for at least 30% of the vehicles operating in the country's capital Riyadh by 2030. However, this target is not mandatory. Turning to the creation of a home-grown EV brand, this joint venture with Foxconn is also among a series of actions taken by the Saudi government to reduce carbon emissions, adopt green energy, and reform the country's economy. More measures need to be implemented to support the growth of a domestic EV industry. After all, the Saudi Energy Ministry just completed the regulatory framework for EV charging stations this August.
Among EV brands and startups, the most noticeable ones tend to come from the US and China because these two countries are the world's major car markets and possess enormous domestic demand. On the other hand, opportunities are also brewing for new entrants in the emerging markets that are promoting vehicle electrification. The UAE, for example, has a local EV startup named Al Damani that begun small-scale production this June. TOGG, which is another newly formed company, commenced production on Turkey's first EV this October.
Commenting on the formation of Ceer, TrendForce said it is very difficult for EV startups to grow their businesses especially if they are operating in countries without an existing automotive industry. Usually, these new companies will have to poach talents from the more established automotive companies and obtain licenses for certain key technologies. Ultimately, they will have to draw enough support from the automotive supply chain in order to have a chance to push their vehicles to the mass production stage. Additionally, while dealing with the complexity of vehicle assembly, startups will have to quickly scale up production in order to control their costs. All of these challenges have to be overcome by rising EV manufacturers that are located in emerging markets.
NEV Market Remains Bullish Across 1Q21-3Q21 Period Against Headwinds, with More Than Four Million Vehicles Sold Globally, Says TrendForce
Total global sales of NEVs (new energy vehicles) for the first three quarters of 2021 (January-September) reached 4.2 million units, with BEVs in particular accounting for 2.92 million units, a 153% YoY growth, according to TrendForce's latest investigations. Total sales of PHEVs, on the other hand, reached 1.28 million units, a 135% YoY growth. Compared to the overall automotive market, whose growth has been constrained by the ongoing semiconductor shortage and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, sales of NEVs still remained relatively strong.
Regarding BEV sales, Tesla comfortably took the leadership position with a 21.5% market share. The automaker's sales volume for the first three quarters of this year already surpassed its sales volume for 2020. Taking second place on the top 10 list, Wuling Hongguang was able to maintain its high volume of sales due to not only low retail prices, but also a gradual expansion of its target markets from tier-three and tier-four cities to tier-one and tier-two cities in China. This shift would seem to indicate a corresponding expansion of and shift in Wuling Hongguang's customer base. BYD and Volkswagen took third and fourth places, respectively, with the latter aggressively consolidating its BEV offerings into the ID. Family this year. Vehicles in the ID. Family have accounted for nearly all of Volkswagen's BEV sales since 3Q21. Despite the rapid growth of the BEV market, competition has been intensifying after traditional automakers began releasing their own BEV models at a faster pace while emerging automakers also began delivering vehicles.
It should be noted that, although the global semiconductor shortage has not damaged the NEV market to the same degree as it did the traditional ICE vehicle market, the NEV market is not entirely immune to the resultant supply-side issues. In addition, China's power rationing and pandemic-generated transportation/logistics disruptions likewise affected automakers' manufacturing operations to various degrees. Taken together, these aforementioned factors became some of the underlying causes responsible for the shifts in NEV automakers' market shares.
Regarding PHEV sales, BYD put up a remarkable performance by leapfrogging to second place in the rankings, and this can primarily be attributed to the release of BYD's DM-i vehicles, which feature a super hybrid technology aimed at reducing fuel consumption. Thanks to the DM-i vehicles, BYD's PHEV sales began skyrocketing in 2Q21, and the automaker was able to overtake several European automakers with respect to total PHEV sales for the first nine months of 2021. Much like the BEV market, despite the growths in most automakers' sales volumes, companies will find it increasingly difficult to raise their PHEV market share.
Looking ahead to the NEV market's future, TrendForce believes that, as traditional global automakers gradually kick off mass production of vehicles based on the battery electric platform, more and more new BEV models will be released to market at an accelerated pace. Furthermore, the next one to three years will serve as the key timeframe for emerging automakers as well as new entrants that crossed from other industries to achieve mass production. Therefore, there remains much potential for changes to occur within the rankings of NEV automakers' sales and market shares.

Annual Automotive MLCC Demand for 2021 Expected to Reach 449 Billion Pcs, with Potential for Additional Growth Next Year, as Suppliers Compete Over Shares in Automotive Market, Says TrendForce
Various MLCC suppliers' book-to-bill ratios as well as quarterly shipments for 4Q21 now show signs of decline, according to TrendForce's latest investigations. Not only has the demand for consumer electronics slowed, but ODMs' clients have also eased their procurement activities due to issues including the global chip shortage, mismatched component availabilities, and China's power rationing. Demand in the automotive market, on the other hand, has remained strong since 3Q21. Automotive applications have therefore become an important point of focus in MLCC suppliers' latest product planning and capacity expansion efforts. Thanks to these in-demand applications, annual MLCC demand from the automotive market for 2021 is expected to reach 449 billion pcs, a 20% YoY increase.
TrendForce further indicates that the growth of the EV market and improvements in ADAS specifications have resulted in a twofold increase in automotive MLCC consumption. While EVs' electrified drivetrain and high safety requirements represent a high barrier to entry for MLCC suppliers, these hurdles have also in turn raised MLCC products' ASP and profitability. Hence, the automotive electronics industry has been increasing its annual MLCC demand by double-digits in recent years. In particular, an analysis of different vehicles and their respective MLCC consumption reveals the following: a conventional EV requires 2.2 times the MLCC usage of a conventional gasoline vehicle, an ADAS-equipped EV requires 2.7 times, and an autonomous EV requires as much as 3.3 times.
Regarding MLCC suppliers, Japanese companies including Murata, TDK, and Taiyo Yuden continue to dominate the automotive MLCC market. These suppliers will expand their production capacities for automotive applications in overseas facilities in China, Philippines, and Malaysia next year, with powertrains, ADAS, and connected systems being among the most significant of the aforementioned applications. Korea-based Samsung, on the other hand, specializes in powertrain applications by leveraging its MLCC offerings' small form factor, high capacitance, and high voltage. Finally, Taiwanese suppliers, such as Yageo and Walsin, are actively invested in developing automotive products and High-Q products for RF applications in an effort to increase their presence in the infotainment system market and EV charging station market.
Looking ahead to 2022, TrendForce expects annual automotive MLCC demand to reach 562 billion pcs, a 25% YoY increase, primarily attributed to the continued electrification of vehicles. While the global implementation of carbon-neutral policies and excellent sales performances of Tesla vehicles bring about widespread adoption of EVs, various countries have successively set concrete dates for the termination of gasoline vehicle sales. Hence, EVs are gradually becoming not only the mainstream option in the automotive market, but also the primary driving force behind the future growth of the MLCC industry.
An Overview of Emerging Chinese NEV Manufacturers with European Ambitions
As the pace of electrification accelerates in the global automotive market, and various governments worldwide implement subsidy policies that encourage consumer EV purchases, sales of new energy vehicles(NEV, which includes BEV/PHEV/FCV)are continuing to rise as well. NEV sales for 2021 are projected to reach 4.35 million units, a 49% increase YoY.
Due to the vast scale of the Chinese market, as well as domestic policies favorable for the growth of BEV/PHEV/FCV, various NEV brands have quickly emerged in China in recent years, such as BYD Auto, Aion(formerly GAC NE), and BAIC BJEV. At the market's peak, NEV manufacturers in China once numbered in the hundreds, although that number has since dwindled somewhat, as the intense competition resulted in declining sales and market shares for many automakers, including BAIC and JAC.
Four rising stars among emerging NEV manufacturers in China include NIO, XPeng, Lixian(or Li Auto), and Weltmeister, all of which have been shipping tens of thousands of mass production vehicles each year. In particular, while NIO, XPeng, and Lixiang registered significant growths in the past few years, Weltmeister also ranked number two in terms of sales in 2019, though it fell to fourth place in 2020 as it delivered fewer vehicles compared to the top three competitors last year.
In light of the aforementioned four automakers' current expansions, TrendForce has summarized several key aspects of their growths, including the following:
1. Autonomous Driving Technologies: Autonomous driving is not only part and parcel of these automakers' core competencies but also a reflection of what consumers and investors expect of the automotive industry. In pursuing advanced autonomous driving technologies, the four automakers have been adopting increasingly powerful processors and computing platforms, with Nvidia being the most common partner among emerging NEV manufacturers. Remarkably, XPeng stands out as the only player making a noticeable effort to develop in-house chips.
2. LiDAR: LiDAR is integrated into an increasing number of vehicles in response to the growing demand for advanced self-driving functionalities. Although LiDAR remains out of reach for vehicles in certain price segments, autonomous driving sensors including LiDAR are no longer limited to flagship models since new NEV models' E/E architectures are expected to be compatible with OTA updates.
LiDAR sensor demand from NEV manufacturers has significantly increased because only by pre-installing hardware ahead of time in their vehicles can automakers enable autonomous driving functionalities as a paid subscription service through OTA updates later on.
3. Battery-swapping: Battery-swapping are relatively attractive for the Chinese NEV industry for several reasons: First, battery-swappable vehicles are excluded from China's NEV subsidy limits*; second, automakers can now afford to lower the retail price of vehicles by turning batteries into a subscription service; finally, it's much convenience for driver because battery swapping is faster than battery charging.
For instance, NIO's entire NEV lineup is compatible with both battery charging and battery swapping. NIO has been pushing its BaaS(battery as a service)and second-gen battery swap stations since 2020. On the other hand, Weltmeister and XPeng are also making their respective battery-swapping strategies.
4. Capacity Expansion and Overseas Strategies: The aforementioned four automakers all place a heavy emphasis on both expanding their production capacities and growing their overseas market shares. Their capacity expansion efforts include building in-house production lines, acquiring other facilities, or jointly funding automotive production with OEMs/ODMs. Regarding overseas expansion, their primary destination is the European market, which is relatively favorable to NEVs.
For instance, NIO and XPeng choose Norway as their first target market in Europe. However, while the European automotive market is conducive to the growth of NEVs in terms of both policies and cultures, competition among automakers is also correspondingly intense. In addition, most European countries prefer either domestic brands or other European brands. Therefore, Chinese automakers must prioritize gaining consumer trust via establishing a trustworthy brand image.
*China's subsidies for NEV purchases are restricted to NEVs with a retail price of CN¥300,000 and under. However, NEVs with swappable batteries do not fall under this restriction.

Q: VB.Net Formatting Output I'm converting a project which started life as a PHP application to a Windows Forms Application in VB.Net, and am not sure how to go about formatting my output. The original, of course, simply outputs in HTML, and I've thought of using a WebBrowser control, but is there a better/more standard/any other way to display formatted output?
I'm new to Visual Studio, and Windows application programming in general. I've done a fair amount of work with VBA, so I'm familiar with the basics of the language, but still trying to figure out a lot of things. I think my question is beyond asking how to display output in VB.NET, as I'm familiar with the various form controls, such as label and textbox, but I googled extensively before posting here, and could not find what I was looking for. VB tutorials I've found are along the lines of "A variable is...." which I don't need. This site, while pretty basic, does have some interesting stuff, and is where I came across the WebBrowser control, but I'm just wondering if that's the best or only way to do what I want.

Bible Memory is one of the most important aspects to a child's spiritual growth and education. Memorizing scripture places the Word of God into the hearts and minds of children. While learning the exact words and verse is important, so too is the understanding of the meaning and intention behind each and every scripture you commit to memory. The verses we've chosen for our products here at BM4K are intended to be the starting off point for authentic conversations with your children each week. Use them as a launching pad to help facilitate and nurture a deeper relationship with our heavenly father.
These engaging charts are perfect for introducing the verse to your children. Each verse includes a corresponding image to aid in scripture memorization. As children progress through the program you can over the bottom text and provide them with a visual reference to cue memory recall. Charts can be hung in the classroom or stored in page protectors in a three-ring binder. Each morning revisit the verse and build upon the previous day's memory accomplishments. Some sets, The Creation and 10 Commandments for example, include KJV Scripture Charts along with Summarized versions for younger students (as shown in the photo above.) This way your older students can memorize the KJV verses and your younger students can study and learn foundational biblical principals. If a set includes the younger version it will be listed on the product description.

Sophie Liebknecht (în ; ) a fost o socialistă și feministă germană de origine rusă. A fost a doua soție a lui Karl Liebknecht, care a avut trei copii din prima căsătorie cu Julia Liebknecht.

Născută la Rostov pe Don, Sophie a fost educată în Imperiul German, unde s-a căsătorit cu gânditorul marxist și în curând liderul revoluționar Karl Liebknecht în 1912. Membru inițial al Partidul Social Democrat din Germania (SPD), ea și-a urmat soțul când a fondat Partidul Comunist din Germania în 1918. Karl Liebknecht a fost ucis la 15 ianuarie 1919, după insuccesul răscoalei spartachiste. Sophie s-a mutat la Londra, iar ulterior s-a întors în Germania în perioada Weimar. Membrii familiei Liebknecht au fost alarmați de ascensiunea Partidului nazist în anii 1930 și, temându-se pentru viața lor în cadrul regimului fascist instituit de Adolf Hitler, au ales să emigreze în această perioadă. Sofie, originară din Rusia, a plecat în Uniunea Sovietică în 1934 și s-a stabilit la Moscova, unde a trăit restul vieții sale (până în 1964).

La înmormântarea ei au participat Robert și Wilhelm, fii ei vitregi din prima căsătorie a lui Karl. Guvernul sovietic a organizat o ceremonie publică și o gardă de onoare.

O mare parte din corespondența ei cu Rosa Luxemburg a fost publicată.
