Apex wins science &<br />
technology award<br />
On 25 March, Apex’s Integrated Circuit Security Chip Project based on<br />
domestic 32-bit CPU won the second prize at the Guangdong Science and<br />
Technology Innovation Conference.<br />
<strong>The</strong> meeting was hosted by the<br />
Department of Science and Technology<br />
of Guangdong Province, aiming to<br />
select the individuals that have made<br />
outstanding contributions, and excellent<br />
innovative enterprises in natural science,<br />
technological invention, science and<br />
technology progress, and scientific and<br />
technological cooperation.<br />
Apex won the prize for the third time,<br />
after the company won the price both<br />
in 2012 and 2016.<br />
With over ten years of background<br />
in technology and capabilities in IC<br />
chip design, Apex products extended<br />
from printer cartridge chips to printer<br />
controller SoC, and the universal MCU<br />
successfully launched in 2018, Bluetooth<br />
low consumption SoC, and network<br />
communication security chip.<br />
<strong>The</strong> company said about the win:<br />
“Constantly innovating in crisis has<br />
always been the philosophy of Apex.<br />
<strong>The</strong> outbreak of the COVID-19 has<br />
severely damaged the economy and<br />
threatened people's lives, made us feel the<br />
importance of science and technology<br />
and the need for innovation.<br />
“As always, Apex will continue to focus<br />
on the development of IC industry,<br />
making its effort to the construction<br />
of a strong province of scientific<br />
and technological innovation and<br />
the implementation of building the<br />
Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater<br />
Bay Area into an international science<br />
and technology innovation centre.” ■<br />
Hubei Dinglong<br />
shows their labels<br />
<strong>The</strong> toner manufacturer has released<br />
its latest list of NWS Ecolabel<br />
certified toners.<br />
<strong>The</strong> toner manufacturer is a major<br />
supplier to the remanufacturing sector<br />
and produces a broad range of Ecolabel<br />
approved HP Toners.<br />
Talking about the certified toners, the<br />
company said: “We understand the rigours<br />
of Eco Label requirements in European<br />
market and therefore have engaged with<br />
TUV Rheinland LGA Products GmbH<br />
to conduct the R6 emissions test for<br />
selected products. Full certification and<br />
reports can be provided upon request.”<br />
As products become more popular Hubei<br />
Dinglong plans to submit additional<br />
material as and when the volumes dictate.<br />
Hubei Dinglong added: “It is a prerequisite<br />
of our R&D process to select raw<br />
materials that will meet the requirements<br />
of emission tests on a<br />
global basis.” ■<br />
