谁决定谁领导美国卫生机构?

(SeaPRwire) - 关于当选总统特朗普将在第二任期采取的行动,人们一直在争论不休,其中最突出的问题之一就是医疗保健。作为监督了新冠肺炎疫情应对的总统——公共卫生专家认为,除了疫苗的研发外,应对措施在很多方面都存在不足——特朗普已经就美国医疗保健系统在他的领导下将会是什么样子做出了广泛的声明。 他承诺要“让美国再次健康”,并允许长期疫苗批评者罗伯特·F·肯尼迪 (Robert F. Kennedy) Jr.“在健康方面放手去做。我会让他在食品方面放手去做。我会让他在药物方面放手去做,”特朗普在选举前的几周内说道。 特朗普批评了他认为存在于主要政府卫生机构的腐败行为:从美国疾病控制与预防中心 (CDC)——全球最受尊敬的传染病机构之一;到美国食品药品监督管理局 (FDA)——负责监督药物审批和食品安全;再到美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH)——世界上最大的公共生物医学研究机构。 正如他在第一届政府中所做的那样,特朗普拥有相当大的权力来任命与他观点一致的领导人,并有可能改变医疗保健方面的政策和做法。以下是特朗普第二次掌权后需要关注的机构和职位。 卫生与公众服务部长 (HHS) 这个内阁级职位至关重要,因为 HHS 负责监督 FDA 和 CDC。HHS 负责许多项目,包括儿童保育的社会项目、儿童健康和预防措施,包括疫苗接种、孕产妇健康项目、心理健康和药物滥用项目,以及针对老年人和残疾人的项目。 2022 年,拜登总统签署了《通货膨胀削减法案》,该法案允许部长从 2026 年开始与制药公司直接协商,为某些药物降低价格。 部长由总统任命,并必须经参议院确认,参议院目前由共和党占多数。内阁成员由总统任命和解聘,大多数新任总统都会任命新的部长加入他们的政府。 NIH 主任 NIH 主任由总统任命,并经参议院确认,但并非每次政府更迭时都会更换。例如,弗朗西斯·柯林斯 (Francis Collins) 博士在三位总统任期内担任主任,直到 2021 年退休。1971 年之前,NIH 主任由总外科医生任命。 NIH 管理着世界上最大的公共生物医学研究预算,为 470 亿美元。NIH 包括 27 个研究所或中心,专注于在衰老、癌症、药物滥用和传染病等领域进行研究和发现。许多重要的治疗方法诞生于 NIH 实验室或由 NIH 资助的学术实验室,然后由制药行业进一步开发(包括为 COVID-19 疫苗做出贡献的基本发现)。 FDA 局长 FDA 局长由总统任命,并必须经参议院确认。该机构负责批准包括疫苗和医疗器械在内的新的药物,以及监督食品安全,包括进行检查和监管进口食品。在 COVID-19 大流行期间,FDA 在审查数据和权衡新疫苗技术(mRNA)与新型 SARS-CoV-2 病毒的风险和益处方面发挥了核心作用。 虽然该职位没有任期限制,但大多数新任总统都会任命自己的局长。 CDC 主任 CDC 主任由总统任命,2025 年将首次需要经参议院确认,这是 2022 年通过的一项国会法律的结果。 许多特朗普的支持者批评了 CDC 在应对 COVID-19 大流行方面的做法,特别是口罩和疫苗接种令。他们还认为,该机构目前的职责范围过于广泛,涵盖了工作场所安全和气候变化对健康的影响。 医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心 (CMS) 管理员 CMS 管理员在决定为医疗保险和医疗补助资格人群报销哪些药物和治疗方法方面发挥着至关重要的作用,这些人群覆盖了近 1.4 亿美国人。CMS 报销具有先例意义,因为私人保险公司在决定哪些项目需要报销时,通常会遵循 CMS 的决定。 作为《通货膨胀削减法案》的一部分,CMS 负责实施 HHS 部长为医疗保险受益人协商的任何降低药物价格的措施。 管理员也由总统提名,并经参议院确认。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

COP29 Climate Change Conference Must Address Acute Challenges of Developing Countries Such as Bangladesh – Summit Power International Limited ACN Newswire

COP29 Climate Change Conference Must Address Acute Challenges of Developing Countries Such as Bangladesh – Summit Power International Limited

Dhaka, Bangladesh, Nov 9, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The U.N. Climate Change Conference next week needs to urgently address major gaps in funding and technology and adopt fresh approaches to meet the challenges of developing countries with vulnerable communities such as Bangladesh, Summit Power International Limited (“SPIL”), the country’s largest private sector power generation company, said today.Singapore-headquartered SPIL, the leading foreign direct investor in Bangladesh’s power sector, said it hoped the widely anticipated COP29 Climate Change Conference starting 11 November in Azerbaijan will lead to an actionable agenda that can balance global net zero targets with the needs of poorer countries seeking to eradicate poverty and create jobs on an accelerated scale.SPIL operates 18 power plants with a combined capacity of 2,255 MW or approximately 17% of the total installed private power generation capacity in the country of 173 million people. As a responsible company with a strong track record of providing energy and power to Bangladesh, SPIL is acutely aware of the international initiatives to de-carbonise.At COP21 in 2015, 196 countries signed the Paris Agreement with collective commitments to limit global warming. However, subsequent global financing initiatives have been deadlocked. Among the key initiatives of COP29 is a New Collective Quantified Goal to deliver substantive climate financing to regions that need it most.Beyond the pledges, global climate goals must also take into consideration challenges unique to each country, especially the lesser developed, said SPIL. Prior to COP29, SPIL had outlined its internal Climate Action Plan to support Bangladesh’s stated goal (declared at the COP26 in Glasgow in 2021) to achieve up to 40% of clean energy use in its power generation mix by 2041.“Both the national and SPIL’s own de-carbonisation targets have to be viewed against the backdrop of the pandemic and subsequent supply chain disruptions as well as the conflict in Ukraine which drove up prices of fossil fuels. Bangladesh, which has to contend with cyclones and flooding on a regular basis, has felt the impact of such disruptions more acutely than most other countries.“We hope COP29 – whose leaders have promised engagement, ambition, and action – will address decisively real-world issues from the perspective of developing nations and responsible corporates involved in the energy eco-system, such as SPIL. We look forward to holistic approaches that avoid a one-size-fits-all mindset,” SPIL said.SPIL’s Founder and Chairman, Mr Muhammed Aziz Khan, a Singapore citizen, said: “We hope COP29 adopts approaches fairly and equitably to address the social and economic impact, particularly for vulnerable communities and workers in fossil fuel industries in developing countries. A just energy transition must promote circular economy principles that benefit local populations to ensure resilience.Second, international organisations, governments, and corporations must provide funding and technology to support the energy transition. For developing countries such as Bangladesh, such approaches must combine development finance and foreign direct investments.Third, different regions will have different timelines to progress towards net zero. For the near term, Bangladesh’s power sector – which has been facing issues of imbalance of supply and demand and delays in payments – needs to reduce dependence on coal or heavy fuel oil and increase usage of natural gas which is less carbon-intensive, even as it pursues initiatives in renewable energy.”As part of its Climate Action Plan, SPIL has committed not to develop new fuel-fired power plants in Bangladesh. It will also reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 10% by 2030 as compared to its 2021 baseline and plans to derive 40% of its energy generation portfolio from clean energy sources by 2040. SPIL has also formed a Sustainability Task Force under the leadership of the CEO.While recognising geographical limitations in Bangladesh for large-scale solar or wind farms, SPIL has outlined plans to invest or obtain international financial support for up to USD 3 billion in renewable energy projects in the country.About Summit Power International Limited (“SPIL”)SPIL is the largest Independent Power Producer (IPP) in Bangladesh, reflecting 17% of the country's total private installed capacity and 7% of the country’s total installed capacity. SPIL owns and operates a total of 18 power plants with a combined generation capacity of 2,255MW. It also operates Bangladesh’s second Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) and LNG import terminal with daily regasification capacity of 500 million cubic feet.SPIL is a privately-held Singapore-registered company that is 78%-owned by the family of Mr Muhammed Aziz Khan. In 2016 SPIL acquired Bangladesh-registered Summit Corporation Ltd (SCL) in a transaction that was financed primarily by International Finance Corporation, the World Bank’s private sector arm. SCL holds various infrastructure assets in Bangladesh. In 2019, JERA Co., Inc., Japan’s largest power generation company, acquired a 22%-stake in SPIL and remains its second largest shareholder to date.Learn more at: www.summitpowerinternational.com Media ContactWeR1 Consultants Pte LtdWhatsApp (Text): (+65) 9748 0688Email: summit@wer1.net Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

碧昂斯领跑2025年格莱美提名,成为该奖项历史上获得提名最多的艺术家

(SeaPRwire) - 纽约——欢迎来到碧昂斯的世界。在2025年格莱美奖提名中,“牛仔卡特”称霸天下。她以11项提名领跑,使她的职业生涯总提名数达到99项,成为格莱美历史上获得提名最多的艺术家。 “牛仔卡特”获得了年度专辑和年度乡村专辑的提名,而“德州扑克”则获得了年度唱片、年度歌曲和年度乡村歌曲的提名。她还获得了众多其他类型的提名,包括流行、乡村、美国民谣和旋律说唱表演类别。 这是她首次获得乡村和美国民谣类别的提名。此前,她和丈夫 Jay-Z 以88项提名并列格莱美历史上获得提名最多的艺术家。 如果碧昂斯赢得年度专辑奖,她将成为21世纪第一位获得该奖项的黑人女性。劳琳·希尔在1999年凭借“劳琳·希尔的音乐教育”获得了该奖项,与娜塔莉·科尔和惠特尼·休斯顿并列成为唯一三位获得格莱美最高奖项的黑人女性。 Post Malone 今年也首次获得了乡村类别的提名,他在8月份发布了他的首张乡村专辑“F-1 Trillion”。该专辑获得了年度乡村专辑的提名,而他和摩根·沃伦合作的“我得到了帮助”则获得了年度乡村歌曲和年度乡村二重唱/组合表演的提名。这是沃伦首次获得格莱美提名。 Malone 以七项提名紧随碧昂斯之后,与比莉·艾利什、肯德里克·拉马尔和查理·XCX 并列,后者作为独立艺术家首次获得提名。 拉马尔在与德雷克的矛盾中发布的无处不在的diss歌曲“不像我们”获得了年度唱片、年度歌曲、最佳说唱歌曲、音乐视频以及最佳说唱表演的提名。他在这最后一个类别中获得了两个同时的提名,这是他职业生涯中的第一次:Future & Metro Boomin 与拉马尔合作的“像那样”获得了最佳说唱表演和最佳说唱歌曲的提名。 这是他第三次获得两个最佳说唱歌曲的提名。 泰勒·斯威夫特以及首次获得提名的萨布丽娜·卡彭特和查佩尔·罗安各自获得了六项提名。 去年,女艺术家在主要类别中占据主导地位。今年,这种情况有所延续,但主要趋势似乎是类型多样化。在年度专辑类别中,除了“牛仔卡特”之外,还有 André 3000 的新时代、另类爵士乐专辑“新蓝太阳”以及多乐器演奏家雅各布·科利尔的“Djesse Vol. 4”。冉冉升起的流行明星卡彭特和罗安分别凭借“短而甜蜜”和“中西部公主的兴衰”获得了提名,此外还有斯威夫特的“受折磨的诗人部门”,艾利什的“狠狠地打我,温柔地打我”以及查理·XCX 的狂欢风格专辑“BRAT”。 艾利什是唯一一位前三张专辑都获得了年度专辑提名的艺术家。 去年,斯威夫特凭借“午夜”获得了年度专辑奖,打破了该类别四次获奖的纪录。今年,她成为该类别历史上第一位获得七次提名的女性。 “一般领域中所展现出的类型广泛性和多样性让人耳目一新,非常令人兴奋,”录音学院首席执行官兼总裁哈维·梅森小说道。他将这一成功归功于一个活跃且不断进化的投票团体。“我们在审视并试图重新平衡我们成员的方式上非常刻意。因此,不仅仅是性别或有色人种,还有不同的种族构成,还有类型公平,试图确保来自不同地区和不同地点的各种类型的音乐都能得到尽可能多的体现。” 只有在2023年9月16日至2024年8月30日期间在美国商业发行并符合资格的录音作品才能获得提名。格莱美投票的最后一轮将从12月12日持续到1月3日,以确定最终的获奖者。 在最佳新人类别中,卡彭特和罗安将正面交锋,竞争对手还有本森·布恩、Doechii、Khruangbin、RAYE、Shaboozey 和泰迪·斯威姆斯。 在年度歌曲类别中,碧昂斯与艾利什的“羽毛鸟”、斯威夫特和 Post Malone 的“两周”,罗安的“祝你好运,宝贝!”,卡彭特的“求求你,求求你”,拉马尔的“不像我们”, Lady Gaga 和布鲁诺·马尔斯 的“带着笑容死去”以及 Shaboozey 的“酒吧歌曲(微醺)”并列。 Shaboozey 也是首次获得提名。他的“酒吧歌曲(微醺)”是今年最受欢迎的歌曲,在公告牌百强单曲榜上停留的时间比其他任何歌曲都长——它非常受欢迎,该歌曲的混音版也获得了混音录音的提名。 除此之外,Shaboozey 还凭借在碧昂斯的“SPAGHETTII”中的客串演出获得了旋律说唱表演类别的提名。琳达·马特尔,这位乡村乐界第一位商业上成功的黑人女性音乐家,也出现在这首歌曲中,为这位83岁的艺术家带来了她的第一个格莱美提名。 在年度唱片类别中,“德州扑克”将与斯威夫特和 Post Malone 的“两周”,艾利什的“羽毛鸟”,拉马尔的“不像我们”,罗安的“祝你好运,宝贝!”,卡彭特的“浓缩咖啡”,查理·XCX 的“360”以及披头士乐队最后一首新歌、由人工智能辅助创作的“现在和那时”竞争。 “我们正在努力确保我们能跟上音乐创作者和我们社区如何使用技术。在这种情况下,人工智能增强了唱片,并使其有资格获得相应的类别,”梅森小说道。 那么,缺失了什么?与去年一样,在所有类别中,拉丁音乐——美国增长最快的流媒体类型——严重不足,主要类别中也缺乏代表性。在最佳墨西哥音乐专辑类别中也只有四项提名,尽管它也是增长最快的类型之一。 而且,K-pop 似乎也缺席了。今年发布个人专辑的防弹少年团成员没有获得任何提名:RM 的“正确的地方,错误的人”,J-Hope 的“街上的希望,第一卷”,以及 Jimin 的“缪斯”。作为男子组合,防弹少年团在职业生涯中获得了五项提名。 “我确实认为在很多类型中还有改进的空间,我们正在继续邀请人们加入学院,”梅森小说道。“没有合适的代表,我们就得不到合适的结果。当我说合适时,我的意思是反映和代表今天音乐界正在发生的事情。因此,这项工作仍在继续。” 2025年格莱美颁奖典礼将于2月2日在美国洛杉矶的加密货币.com体育场现场直播,通过 CBS 和 Paramount+ 播出。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Seamless Shopping for K-Culture Lovers: Bringko Expands Cross-Border Services with New Free Shipping Promotion ACN Newswire

Seamless Shopping for K-Culture Lovers: Bringko Expands Cross-Border Services with New Free Shipping Promotion

SEOUL, S.KOREA, Nov 9, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Bringko, Korea's signature cross-border e-commerce platform, provides a service where global consumers can quickly, conveniently, and economically purchase Korean products - just as its name suggests - 'Bring Korea'. Bringko has positioned itself as an integral shopping platform among overseas Koreans and foreigners who need diverse Korean products such as K-beauty, K-food, and K-pop.Through its patented and self-owned server system, Bringko allows its clients to add products from Approximately 200 Korean-renowned online shopping malls to virtual carts. Bringko's system then guides the products to be conveniently purchased through major global credit cards or PayPal. When all the ordered products arrive at Bringko's logistics center, they are packaged in bulk through global courier services such as FedEx and UPS for quick delivery overseas. Such a convenient process has positioned Bringko as Korea's cross-border e-commerce market leader for the last four years.While some Korean products can be purchased overseas from offline markets, group purchases, or online channels, it is difficult to encounter up-to-date products in time. Since it takes a long time for Korean products to enter overseas offline markets, they are likely to be outdated by the time they reach the sales aisles. On the other hand, Bringko is the only platform where real-time purchases of recent Korean products on OTT channels or K-pop content are available, thus proving its charm to many trend-sensitive consumers.Another advantage of Bringko is that it provides up-to-date products, steady sellers, and popular products scarce outside of Korea at a reasonable price. To enable such service, Bringko has been offering major products such as K-beauty products, health products, quilts, underwear, food, etc at cheap prices for foreign consumers by coalescing with diverse brands. In particular, Bringko enables clients to enjoy shopping without the burden of overseas shipping costs through their 'free overseas shipping' promotion.Bringko's differentiated service provides more accessibility to foreign consumers and plans to offer recent Korean trends accompanied by the global K-culture fad to more global clients in real-time.Media contactBringko Inc.Jiwon GoWebsite: https://Bringko.com/pc/ Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

南加州野火摧毁132处建筑,当局等待强风消退

(SeaPRwire) - 卡马里奥,加州——官员们表示,预计周五凌晨强劲的风力将减弱,这将有助于南加州消防员扑灭一场在两天内烧毁了 132 座建筑物的野火。 山火于周三上午在文图拉县发生,截至周四晚上,火势已蔓延至 32 平方英里(约 83 平方公里),5% 的火势得到控制。 周五早上,大约 10,000 人仍然处于疏散令之下,因为火势继续威胁着文图拉县卡马里奥周边郊区社区、牧场和农业地区的约 3,500 座建筑物。 除了 132 座被毁的建筑物外,至少还有 88 座建筑物受损,这些建筑物大多是住宅。官员没有具体说明这些建筑物是因火灾烧毁还是因水或烟雾损害造成的。火灾起因尚未确定。 乔伊·帕里什回到了他在卡马里奥高地 20 多年的旧居遗址。只剩下部分烧毁的钢架。 “这很难,真的很难知道如何处理情绪,”他周四告诉 KNBC-TV。他和妻子以及他们的猫已经撤离。“我们俩都还没哭出来,”他说。 “我只带走了我身上的东西,”他说。“我的手机,甚至没有充电器,也没有牙刷——什么都没有。” 文图拉县警长詹姆斯·弗赖霍夫说,有 10 人吸入烟雾或其他轻微伤势。 县消防官员说,在直升机洒水支援下,在陡峭地形中作业的消防员正在集中精力保护位于火灾东北部边缘靠近圣保拉市的丘陵地带的房屋,圣保拉市有 30,000 多人。 南加州多个县的官员敦促居民注意快速蔓延的火灾、停电和倒塌的树木,这些情况可能出现在最新一轮臭名昭著的圣塔安娜风期间。 圣塔安娜风是指从南加州内陆吹向海岸和海上干燥、温暖且阵风强劲的东北风,吹向与从太平洋携带潮湿空气的正常陆地风向相反的方向。它们通常发生在秋季,并持续到冬季和初春。 国家气象局牛津分局的气象学家阿里尔·科恩说,圣塔安娜风在低海拔地区正在减弱,但在周四晚上高海拔地区仍然阵风强劲。 该地区的高火险预警已解除,仅圣苏珊娜山脉除外,该山脉的预警将在周五上午 11 点解除。科恩说,圣塔安娜风预计将在下周初至中旬再次出现。 山火发生在加州历史上一些最具破坏性的火灾发生的地区。周三,火势在不到 5 个小时的时间里迅速从不到 0.5 平方英里(约 1.2 平方公里)蔓延到超过 16 平方英里(41 平方公里)。 州长加文·纽森已宣布文图拉县进入紧急状态。 近年来,加州公用事业公司在强风和极端火灾危险期间开始停用设备,因为一系列由电力线路和其他基础设施引发的巨大而致命野火。 南加州爱迪生公司周四表示,由于风险加剧,五个县的近 70,000 名客户断电。公司发言人加布里埃拉·奥尔内拉斯无法立即回答山火发生地点是否断电。 野火发生在最近几次破坏性大火发生过的同一区域,包括 2018 年的伍尔西大火,这场大火导致 3 人死亡,摧毁了洛杉矶附近的 1,600 个房屋,以及 2017 年的托马斯大火,这场大火烧毁了文图拉县和圣巴巴拉县的 1,000 多个房屋和其他建筑物。南加州爱迪生公司已经支付了数千万美元来解决索赔,此前其设备被指责引发了这两场火灾。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

ITC’s Final Decision Confirms Innoscience’s Customers Remain Unaffected by the Innoscience-EPC Patent Row

HONG KONG, Nov 8, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Innoscience Technology, a company founded to create a global energy ecosystem based on high-performance, low-cost, gallium-nitride-on-silicon (GaN-on-Si) power solutions, announced today that the U.S. International Trade Commission’s (“ITC”) November 7, 2024 final determination has confirmed the ability of Innoscience’s customers to import their products into U.S. remain unaffected by the ongoing patent dispute between Innoscience and Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (“EPC”).In May last year, EPC launched a lawsuit against Innoscience at the ITC, falsely alleging infringement of EPC’s ’508 and ’294 patents. Following an administrative law judge’s initial determination in the past July finding no infringement of claim 1 (the only asserted claim) of the ’508 patent, the latest ITC final determination once again affirmed no violation as to this patent—a huge success for Innoscience.The final determination, however, affirmed the part of the judge’s initial determination that found violation as to claims 2 and 3 the ’294 patent. The ITC hence has determined to issue a limited exclusion order prohibiting importation of certain accused Innoscience chips. Innoscience disagrees with and will appeal this ruling. This is at least because the ‘294 patent is invalid. Indeed, the U.S Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) instituted an inter partes review (“IPR”) challenging all claims of the ’294 patent under four different grounds and has agreed with Innoscience’s invalidity arguments. The ’294 IPR decision will issue in March 2025.Innoscience also notes it is established U.S. law that the limited exclusion order does not prohibit Innoscience’s customers from importing end products that use the accused chips. Moreover, since the final decision clarified the meaning of the claim term “compensated GaN layer,” which is at the center of the dispute surrounding the ’294 patent, it has provided clear guidance for Innoscience to design around the ’294 patent by avoiding use of the “compensated GaN layer.” Innoscience already has the design around in place and will release the new products soon. Accordingly, the EPC litigation shall have no impact on Innoscience’s customers. Moreover, Innoscience will continue to solve the dispute with EPC through appeals in court and invalidity challenges at the USPTO, and is confident that it will achieve a final complete victory.

ITC终裁确认英诺赛科客户不受英诺赛科与EPC专利纠纷影响

英诺赛科是一家致力于创建基于高性能、低成本、硅基氮化镓(GaN-on-Si)电源解决方案的全球能源生态系统的企业。该公司今天宣布,美国国际贸易委员会(U.S. International Trade Commission, ITC)2024年11月7日发布的337调查终裁决定证实,英诺赛科的客户将其产品进口到美国的合法性不受英诺赛科和宜普电源转换公司(Efficient power Conversion Corporation,EPC)之间正在进行的专利纠纷的影响。去年5月,EPC在ITC对英诺赛科提起专利侵权诉讼调查,宣称英诺赛科侵犯了EPC的US'508号专利和US'294号专利。今年7月,ITC行政法官作出初步裁定,认定英诺赛科没有侵犯EPC的US'508号专利的权利要求1(该专利中唯一被EPC用来主张权利的权利要求),而今天ITC的最新终裁决定再次确认英诺赛科没有侵犯该US'508号专利,这对英诺赛科来说是一个巨大的胜利。然而,终裁决定维持了行政法官初步裁决中认定的侵犯了US'294号专利权利要求2和3的部分情形。因此,ITC将决定发布有限排除令,禁止英诺赛科将某些被指控的芯片作为直接产品出口到美国。英诺赛科不同意这一裁决,并将对此进一步提出上诉。这至少是因为US'294号专利本身的权利基础是不稳定的,被无效的可能性很大。事实上,美国专利商标局('USPTO')以四种不同的理由对US'294号专利的所有权利要求进行了双方复审('IPR'),并同意英诺赛科的无效论点。US'294号专利的IPR无效审查决定将于2025年3月发布。英诺赛科还指出,根据美国法律规定,有限排除令并不禁止英诺赛科的客户将使用被指控芯片的终端产品进口到美国市场。此外,由于终裁决定澄清了'补偿GaN层'这一权利要求术语的含义,而这正是双方围绕US'294号专利争议的核心,因此也为英诺赛科提供了明确的规避设计指导,通过避免使用'补偿GaN层'这一技术特征,就可以实现对US'294号专利的规避。目前英诺赛科已经完成了规避设计方案,并将很快发布规避设计后的新产品。因此,EPC诉讼不会对英诺赛科的客户带来不利影响。此外,英诺赛科将继续通过法院上诉程序和美国专利商标局的无效程序来推动解决与EPC的纠纷,并有信心取得最终的完全胜利。 Copyright 2024 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Hong Kong Fashion Designers Association Celebrates 40th Anniversary

HONG KONG, Nov 8, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Organized by the Hong Kong Fashion Designers Association (HKFDA) and sponsored by Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency, "VIRTUOSE: The Artistry of Couture" will take place on November 25th at The Henderson, a new iconic building in Central.As a cornerstone of the inaugural Hong Kong Fashion Fest, this ground-breaking couture fashion show aims to connect the fashion circles of Mainland China, Hong Kong, and the global community. It presents a rare opportunity to appreciate the exceptional craftsmanship of couture designers worldwide while positioning Hong Kong as a pivotal fashion hub and a cultural bridge between East and West, ultimately benefiting the local economy.A Tribute to Couture FashionCouture is an essential aspect of the dynamic fashion industry, embodying the core aspirations of designers—creativity, craftsmanship, and quality. These enduring values will be beautifully showcased at the event, reflecting the cultural backgrounds and artistic expressions of the designers. Chief Executive Mr. John Lee recently noted that "talent is the prime resource and driving force that boosts economic development and competitiveness," a sentiment that resonates deeply within the fashion community, where innovation drives new designs.Through "VIRTUOSE: The Artistry of Couture," the HKFDA aims to establish an international fashion exchange platform in Hong Kong. Four renowned international couture designers—Charles de Vilmorin from France, Mohamed Benchellal from the Netherlands, Cheney Chan from Mainland China, and Kay Kwok from Hong Kong—will share their insights and experiences within Hong Kong’s vibrant fashion landscape. They will highlight how the city’s advantages, including its status as a financial center, shipping hub, and innovation hotspot, create unique opportunities for growth and collaboration.With the total number of travelers in Hong Kong increasing by 64% year-on-year to 21 million in the first half of 2024, an anticipated 1.7 million participants are expected to attend the city’s mega events, contributing over HK$7.2 billion in spending, according to government data. “Hong Kong's domestic clothing exports also experienced a 28% growth in 2023 compared to 2022,” says Mr. Yeung. “We believe that events like VIRTUOSE are crucial in attracting global buyers and showcasing Hong Kong's unique position and talent on the world fashion stage. As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, we aim to reaffirm our presence in the industry and reimagine our future through haute couture, highlighting the exceptional talent of our designers and our city's strengths as a hub for creativity and finance.”The Intersection of Four Fashion Cultures“As an 'East-meets-West Centre for International Cultural Exchange,' Hong Kong plays a vital role in advancing the fashion design industry,” notes Mr. Yeung. The city's rich cultural environment allows local designers to draw inspiration from diverse influences, enhancing their creative output.The international designers will embody the cultural diversity that shapes their work, reflecting personal styles and the rich history of fashion. As Hong Kong positions itself as a talent hub, it showcases its appeal within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, a mega events capital, and a city known for its favorable tax regime and quality education and healthcare services.The HKFDA is committed to nurturing local talent by providing platforms for exposure and collaboration, empowering designers to thrive in a competitive landscape. "VIRTUOSE: The Artistry of Couture" will highlight the essence of fashion design through innovative forms and techniques, focusing on sustainable practices and intricate details. This event will inspire designers, couture clients, media, and industry professionals, fostering appreciation for the rich tapestry of fashion and culture.Couture Trunk ShowsAs part of its mission, the HKFDA actively promotes the uniqueness of Hong Kong fashion on the global stage. Following the fashion show, trunk shows will provide opportunities for deeper engagement between designers and both local and international clients, offering a one-of-a-kind couture ordering experience.The recent establishment of the CCIDA enhances support for local designers, aiding them in exploring opportunities beyond Hong Kong. With the CCIDA’s backing to facilitate cultural exchanges and collaborations with global designers, the HKFDA’s trunk shows will not only create a platform for exchanging fashion insights but also strengthen the appreciation of diversity in fashion. This initiative is crucial for expanding the reach of Hong Kong's fashion designers and enriching the global fashion landscape with our unique cultural narratives, thereby enhancing the visibility of Hong Kong's vibrant fashion scene.Couture Fashion Shows and Trunk Shows DetailsVIRTUOSE: The Artistry of Couture》Couture Fashion ShowFashion Shows DateNovember 25th, 2024(Monday)VenueThe Henderson, 2 Murray Road, Central, HKTime11:30am, 3:30pm, 7:00pmEntryBy Invitation Only(VIRTUOSE: The Artistry of Couture)Trunk ShowsTrunk Shows DateNovember 27th(Wednesday)&28th(Thursday),2024VenueFour Seasons Hotel, 8 Finance Street, Central, HKTime12:00pm to 7:00pmEntryBy Invitation OnlyWebsitewww.virtuose.com.hkSocial Media Platformshttps://www.facebook.com/virtuosehk https://www.instagram.com/virtuose.hk/VIRTUOSE : The Artistry of Couture is organised by Hong Kong Fashion Designers Association and sponsored by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency as a programme of the Hong Kong Fashion Fest which is presented by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.Download photos and information here:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1o9Zo2Xu_6yexCqWpVjHZbpq7S0ONgA-p?usp=sharing For media enquiries, please contact:Strategic Public Relations LimitedAndico Tsui852-6902 3831andico.tsui@sprg.com.hkChloe Lai852-6748 6032chloe.lai@sprg.com.hkHong Kong Fashion Designers AssociationPierren Yip852-60187628pierren.hkfda@gmail.comJones Tam852-94787902jones.hkfda@gmail.comAbout Hong Kong Fashion Designers Association (HKFDA)The Hong Kong Fashion Designers Association (HKFDA) was founded in 1984 by a group of successful and enthusiastic local fashion designers.
