Statistics from the Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment Association of Japan (SEAJ) show that in May 2022, sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment in Japan were 15.232 billion yuan (307.718 billion yen). By May 2022, this figure has maintained a 17-month consecutive increase. From January to May 2022, the cumulative sales of Japanese semiconductor equipment reached 75.691 billion yuan. According to data from Yahoo Finance, as of June 24, shares of Japanese semiconductor maker Tokyo Weilitech rose 2.16%, Japanese semiconductor testing equipment supplier Advantest shares rose 1.12%, Japanese wafer cutting machines Shares in manufacturer Disco rose 4.29% and Japanese semiconductor and panel-making equipment maker Screen Holdings rose 1.81%. As early as July 2021, the Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment Association of Japan (SEAJ) released a semiconductor and flat panel display (FPD) manufacturing equipment market forecast report, which expects semiconductor manufacturing equipment sales to continue to grow over the next three years. With current data, the report's predictions are correct. In May 2022, the cumulative sales of semiconductor equipment in Japan has exceeded 75.6 billion yuan, and this number is still growing. The development of the Japanese semiconductor market may be positive, but Japan is currently facing a serious problem of brain drain in the semiconductor industry.

At present, there is still no effective early screening system for brain health diseases Relevant survey data show that China's elderly population aged 60 and above has reached 264 million. Among the many health problems in the elderly, brain-related health problems are one of the important causes of disease and burden in the elderly. Brain science has entered a new stage of development in my country, but the construction of my country's brain health risk database is still relatively weak, and there are still some problems in application practice. Taking Alzheimer's disease as an example, early prevention can reduce the risk of the disease by 35%-53%. However, quantitative brain function tests are generally not included in the current physical examination items. On the one hand, the public has insufficient awareness and attention to the diseases of senile cognitive impairment, and the active treatment rate is low; A large number of patients with early-stage brain tumors and Parkinson's disease cannot be diagnosed and miss the best intervention stage. It is of great social and economic significance to increase investment in brain scientific research and promote the improvement of elderly brain health management. Portable near-infrared brain functional imaging products have the advantages of high channel, high portability, mobility, and strong anti-interference. . It is used in various scenarios such as early screening of mental illness, elderly health care assessment, and high-end physical examination. It can effectively help hospitals and physical examination institutions to achieve the initial screening of brain health, improve the active consultation rate, and then optimize the referral mechanism to detect and focus on risk groups in a timely manner.

With the rapid development of electronic information, the amount of chips, liquid crystal displays and PCBs has increased significantly, especially the PCB industry is developing in a more and more refined direction. Among them, the most important processes are lithography and exposure. At present, the traditional exposure machine using film printing has a bottleneck, and the industry is more and more urgent for the laser direct imaging system (LDI). LDI systems often use DMD projection technology. The DMD is a square spatial modulator. In order to meet mass production, the light source must be irradiated on the DMD through a shaping system. At present, laser shaping systems mostly use Koehler illumination system, free-form surface system or microlens array system. Koehler illumination adopts diaphragm modulation, which has low light energy utilization rate and poor uniformity modulation capability; free-form surface system is used to realize square shape. The uniform light spot has a very complex surface shape and is difficult to process; the microlens array system can well achieve a uniform light spot, but the light path is long and requires filter processing, which is not conducive to the lightweight of the imaging module. The imaging module can only expose a small part at a time, and for large-area exposure, it is necessary to implement scanning and stitching processing. Therefore, simplifying the imaging module will have a great effect on its assembly and precise motion control. Nanjing Hecho Technology provide the Fiber Optic for LDI application, use high transmission efficiency low lose quartz Fiber Optic, customized service is available to meet the needs of different customers differenet requirements.

Coupling of Fiber Optic Cable and excitation Light Source Not all light from a light source can travel within the fiber core. If the divergence angle of the light source is too large, it is impossible to form full emission at the fiber boundary, and the light will be scattered through the boundary between the core and the cladding. How to efficiently couple the excitation light power of the LED into the Y-type fiber needs to consider two variables: the luminous size, radiant intensity and power distribution of the LED, and the core diameter, numerical aperture and refractive index of the fiber. In PCR applications, for example, one end of the Y-shaped Fiber Optic Bundle is the common end of the self-aggregating optical fiber composed of two bundles of optical fibers, and the other end is divided into two branches, which are used as the light source optical fiber and the receiving optical fiber respectively, with solid durability, high stability and insertion loss. and low reflection loss, thereby greatly reducing the loss of light energy, enhancing the ability to collect light, and improving the accuracy and reliability of signal detection. Hecho adopts the SCHOTT glass fiber imported from Germany, which has low transmission loss, good flexibility, and can be bent at will. The monofilament is slender and easy to distribute and combine. It provides customized Optical Fiber with various core diameters, lengths and different structures to meet the needs of different customers differenet requirements.

The Fiber Optic system used in the PCR instrument includes excitation light source, excitation light path, fluorescence collection and detection light path, and it is the core module that determines the weak fluorescence detection capability of the system. Usually, the intensity of the excitation light is more than 1000 times of the fluorescence intensity. Therefore, the detection of the fluorescent signal in the PCR instrument belongs to the acquisition of the weak signal under the strong background signal. In the traditional oblique, transmissive and confocal optical system architecture modules, various optical components such as lenses, mirrors, and prisms are integrated, which requires a certain mechanical structure to assist in fixing, which increases the difficulty of processing, and reduced instrument stability. In addition, the traditional optical system is to irradiate excitation light into the reaction sample in the sample cell from the upper part of the base, and then receive the fluorescence instantaneously excited by the reaction tube from the upper part of the base to realize detection. In this process of excitation light transmission and emission fluorescence reception, the system has a large loss of light energy, poor light collection ability, and poor transmission efficiency, resulting in a decrease in fluorescence detection sensitivity. In order to maximize the optical signal throughput and reduce the transmission loss, we need to choose a Fiber Optic Bundle system that is different from the traditional combined lens type.

As all kinds of electronic products tend to be miniaturized, the application of traditional welding technology in various new electronic components has a certain test. In order to meet such market demand, in the welding technology, it can be said that the technology is constantly improving, and the welding way is more diversified. The Light Source for laser welding is a laser light-emitting diode, which can be focused on the solder spot by an optical system. The advantage of laser welding is that it can precisely control and optimize the energy required for welding. It is suitable for selective reflow welding process or using tin wire connector. For SMD components, the solder paste should be applied first and then welded. The welding process is divided into two steps: first the solder paste is heated, and the solder joint is preheated. After that, the solder paste used for welding is completely melted, and the solder is completely wetted on the pad to form the weld. Use laser generator and optical focusing component welding, energy density, high heat transfer efficiency, non-contact welding, solder can be solder paste or tin wire, especially suitable for welding small space solder spot or small solder spot power is small, save energy. Laser welding features: ● Multi-axis servo motor board card control, high positioning accuracy ● Small laser spot, in the small size of pads, spacing devices have obvious welding advantages ● Non-contact welding, no mechanical stress, static risk ● Wuxi slag, reduce flux waste, low production cost ● Weldable products are rich in type ● Choice of solder Advantages of laser welding: For ultra-fine electronic substrate, multi-layer electronic components, "traditional technology" has been unable to apply, which prompted the rapid progress of technology. The processing of ultra-small parts that are not suitable for the traditional soldering iron method is finally completed by laser welding. Non - contact welding is the biggest advantage of laser welding. There is no need to touch the substrate and electronic components at all, and providing solder only by laser irradiation does not pose a physical burden. Effective heating with a blue laser beam is also an advantage, which can be used to illuminate narrow areas where the soldering head cannot enter and at different angles when there is no distance between adjacent components in a dense assembly. The soldering iron head needs to be replaced regularly, while the spare parts for laser welding need to be replaced are very few and the maintenance cost is low. Hecho Technology supply the Fiber Optic Bundles for Laser selective soldering, customized service is available to meet the different design requirements of customers.

The difference between quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and end-point PCR is the step at which the PCR product amount is measured. In traditional PCR, product quantitation is performed once at the end of the reaction. In qPCR, the amount of PCR product is measured after every amplification round. qPCR instruments are designed for both PCR cycling and the detection of signal from fluorescent dyes during amplification. By monitoring the progress of amplification in real time, the point in time when the amplification of the target is detected above background can be identified. The fewer targets present in the reaction, the later the first significant signal is detected. This technique, therefore, is of great advantage when gene-expression differences are analyzed. There are two ways to detect PCR signal with the help of fluorescent dyes: fluorescent dyes that nonspecifically bind to double-stranded DNA (Dye-based qPCR) or fluorescently labeled, sequence-specific probes (Probe-based qPCR). In Dye-based qPCR the use of universal fluorescent DNA-intercataling dyes enables analysis of many targets without having to synthesize sequence-specific probes. However, this method has the disadvantage of detecting all specific and unspecific amplification events as well as primer–dimers because the dye binds to all double-stranded DNA. To achieving high PCR specificity, avoiding background and primer–dimer formation is critical. Probe-based qPCR method is more precise, as the use of sequence-specific fluorescently labeled probes ensures the detection of the target product only. A variety of probe fluorescence chemistry is currently available. Multiple fluorescent probes can be used in multiplex qPCR, although the use of specific probes is more expensive than using DNA-intercalating dyes. qRT-PCR One Step Kits allow reverse transcription and real-time PCR to be performed in one step. In this case, RNA is the template for qPCR. One-step qPCR kits include separate qPCR and reverse transcription master mixes. Same like qPCR, the qRT-PCR One Step Kits are also available in both Dye-based and Probe-based formats. Many real-time PCR instruments available on the market require a passive internal reference dye (either ROX™ or fluorescein) for normalization of the fluorescent signal. The use of passive reference dyes does not interfere with the qPCR. The reference dyes are either supplied separately, or they can be included in the qPCR mastermix at appropriate concentration. biotechrabbit offers both. The choice depends on your instrument requirements for reference dye.
