    翡翠摆件不会如小家碧玉的翡翠首饰品一样,小巧玲珑。小的翡翠摆件,在二三十厘米之间,也有七八十里面,甚至是几米的翡翠摆件。翡翠摆件在雕琢中最费时费工,因为好的翡翠摆件,要想达到收藏级别,就必须要根据翡翠的颜色分布、纹理走向、能做成摆件的翡翠原石特性,充分发挥设计者的灵感,设计雕琢出精致、惟妙惟俏的感觉。

    雕刻师在根据翡翠原石进行雕琢的时候,常会选择雕刻成翡翠观音摆件、或者有的翡翠原石就适合雕刻成骏马奔腾图。也有的翡翠摆件会雕刻成山水画、弥勒佛等等人物雕像。但很传统的雕琢款式则是雕琢成各种形状的龙的造型,比如翡翠原石有一款地方是带着紫罗兰色泽的,雕琢设计师就会将有紫罗兰色泽、或者是比较独特颜色的部位雕刻成龙头,这样的翡翠龙摆件,就可以通过色泽的变化处理,使龙的形象翡翠突出,有栩栩如生以及震动八方的感觉。

翡翠摆件的价格

    一般来说,能做成大型翡翠摆件的原石,多是种质不是很好的,但小型的翡翠摆件价格是极其不菲的。很多购买者和收藏者都会对此抱有奢侈嫌疑的态度。但随着翡翠资源矿脉已经渐渐枯竭,以极品的翡翠摆件在市场上基本看不到踪影,所以造成现今的翡翠摆件价格机制在不停的翻滚着,叫涨着。好的翡翠摆件价格多在十几万元到几十万元甚至上千万元。人们购买翡翠摆件,最主要的目的是为了坐等升值,但是翡翠摆件的升值并不等于手中能够得到变现和增值。所以购买翡翠摆件,当量力而行。

    因为翡翠摆件多是大型的,人们只能根据外在的表现来判定翡翠的颜色、种质、水头、透明度及纹理。但是如果碰到心仪的翡翠摆件的时候,当果断的出手,人生在世,最害怕的是失去机会。其实购买翡翠摆件也是同样的道理,也许你想等价格再降降,但是在一不留神之间,就会和你心仪的翡翠摆件失之交臂。

TI cuts 1,700 jobs in OMAP shift

TI cuts 1,700 jobs in OMAP shift

SAN FRANCISCO—Texas Instruments Inc. said Wednesday (Nov. 14) it will cut about 1,700 jobs worldwide as part of a previously disclosed plan to retarget R&D for its OMAP product line at the embedded systems market, away from smartphones and tablets.

Executives from TI (Dallas) said in September that the company would shift its R&D investment on the OMAP applications processor to focus on the embedded market, where they said the product line has an opportunity to capture a greater share of what it estimates to be an $18 billion market.

The announcement that TI would refocus OMAP caught many off guard because the product had notched a number of high-profile design wins. But analysts, particularly Will Strauss of Forward Concepts, said the trend in smartphones is toward integration of the applications processor and baseband processor—a trend TI can't keep up with because it began phasing out its baseband technology years ago.

At the time, TI also noted that Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.—which together dominate the smartphone and tablet markets—design their own applications processors, leaving less of an available market for OMAP to compete in.

In an interview following TI's announcement Wednesday, Strauss said he was expecting TI to cut jobs after changing course with OMAP.

"We knew the hatchet was coming down. It had to," Strauss said. "They had a bloated operation there for the reduced market that they were facing."

But Strauss—who said he was certain TI explored the possibility of selling all or part of the OMAP division prior to Wednesday's announcement—said he but he was surprised by the number of jobs eliminated. "TI's way is usually more subtle," Stauss said. "But then again, we've got an overall market that is headed down right now."

岫玉的产量及分布

岫玉的产量及分布


  岫玉(岫岩玉)的产量

  现知岫岩玉在辽东半岛分布较广,产量较大.仅以岫岩县而论,其著名的北瓦沟矿区即为资源相当丰富、开采时间较长、年产量甚大的矿区.除此之外,在岫岩县境内还发现有10多处矿床或矿点.其他如宽甸、凤城、丹东等地也有岫岩玉矿床、矿点或矿化线索发现.其含矿地层亦均为元古代辽河群大石桥组的富碳酸盐岩层.

  岫玉(岫岩玉)的分布

  岫岩玉所在地区位于中朝地台辽东台隆营口-宽甸古隆起的西端,区内古老地层发育,构造复杂,变质作用强烈,为岫岩玉矿床的形成提供良好的条件.玉石矿体主要成透镜体状,赋存于古代辽河群大石桥组的富镁碳酸盐岩层中,受一定的层位控制,特别是其中的白云石大理岩-菱镁矿层为最主要的含玉层位.矿床在成因上属于层控变质热液交代型玉石矿床.

中国四大名玉之岫岩玉

中国四大名玉之岫岩玉


  岫岩是我国目前最大的玉石产地,岫岩素有“玉都”之称.据有关的统计数据显示,目前我国每年的出产的玉石原料中,岫玉产量占到了60%——70%.除了产量大以外,岫玉还以经常发现巨大的玉石矿体著称.目前保持吉尼斯世界记录的鞍山玉佛院的玉佛就是由岫玉中的花玉雕刻而成的.有兴趣大家可以去看看本站的相关介绍.

  岫玉产量大对岫岩来说既是好事也不是好事.说它是好事,是因为巨大的产量提升了岫玉的知名度,给岫岩乃至鞍山带来广泛的宣传作用;说它不是好事,是因为巨大的产量抑制了岫玉的价格,价格低到没什么,只是现在很多人的价值观都已经货币化了,常常武断的就认为岫玉是低等的玉料.另外由于产量大,导致加工雕刻也不够精心,很多普通岫玉的雕件在工艺上同南方工比起来确实有差距.当然岫玉雕刻精品也很多,但通常都是雕刻大师的作品.

  其实岫岩玉只是从地域概念上对岫岩出产的玉石的一种笼统的称谓,但由于岫岩的玉石矿产并不是单一的一种,因此从矿物学上来分比较更科学一点.岫岩出产的玉应该分为三种,一种是蛇纹石玉,也就是普通意义上的岫玉.主要出产于岫岩哈达碑镇的瓦沟地区.这里十多里长的山谷中矿藏量约176万吨,有玉石矿体76处,是我国目前最大的玉石产地.蛇纹石岫玉颜色丰富有浅绿、翠绿、黑绿、白、黄、淡黄、灰等但是以绿色为主.其中碧绿色、透明度好、无裂纹、少棉而且不跑色的绝对是高档玉料.蛇纹石岫玉硬度不高,摩氏硬度在硬度2.5-5.5之间,普通玻璃的硬度一般为5-6,所以蛇纹石岫玉不能用来划玻璃.另外蛇纹石岫玉还有一个缺点就是跑色,其实随着外部环境的变化,几乎所有的玉石种类都会有颜色的变化.但是蛇纹石岫玉跑色相对比较明显.据说是和蛇纹石矿中结晶水含量的变化有关.

  在与瓦沟一岭之隔的偏岭镇细玉沟出产另一种透闪石成份的软玉,当地一般叫老玉或细玉.这种玉质地异常细腻,坚韧,摩氏硬度在6-6.5之间,微透明,少量呈纯白色,多呈黄白色、青白、青绿色,其中以黄白老玉为上品.在岫岩还有两种非常有名的河磨玉和石包玉,矿物学上分也属于透闪石软玉,河磨玉出产于河床砾石之中,因河水长期冲刷及砾石磨擦,棱角殆尽而形成并得名.做个对比的话老玉和河磨玉的关系就好比和田玉中山料和籽料之间的关系.石包玉,外表形状与山石无异,石皮内含玉,玉质润而坚硬,多分布在细玉沟河谷间地表下.由于玉质好,产量相对小,透闪石岫玉的价格要高于蛇纹石岫玉,特别是近几年由于和田玉的涨价以及和田玉籽料资源的匮乏,河磨玉和石包玉的价格更是水涨船高了.

  第三中玉是蛇纹石玉和透闪石玉的结合体,绿白相间,和翡翠有几分类似,开始叫“假翠”,后来觉得假字不太好,慢慢演变成“甲翠”也有人叫岫翠.甲翠基本不透明或微透明,以绿白色相间为主,白色为透闪石成分,绿色为蛇纹石成分,硬度和玻璃差不多在5-6之间.尽管甲翠颜色只有两种,但是给人的感觉是简朴而有不单调.呵呵,套用一句广告词就是简约而不简单.因此用甲翠雕刻的一些仿古的瓶、鼎、炉、熏等摆件别有一番汉风古韵,形成了岫玉雕刻大家庭中的一道亮丽风景.

谈谈软玉和岫玉的区别

谈谈软玉和岫玉的区别


  软玉是我国矿物学家对英文Nephrite的译名.这一英文名称源于希腊语,有“肾脏”之意.这是因为古代洲认为将这种玉石佩挂在腰部可以治愈肾病(久术武夫:《宝石贵金属辞典》).看来,古欧洲人和我国古代人一样,都迷信于玉.中国古人不仅认为饰用这种玉可以辟邪,而且认为饮用玉粉可以治病.然而不论欧洲人也好,喜欢玉器的墨西哥和新西兰人也好,都没有中国人使用软玉的历史悠久.中国在世界上有“玉石之国”之称,这同发现和使用软玉的悠久历史有关.

  软玉在我国有白玉、青玉、碧玉、黄玉和墨玉等品种.它们与硬玉不同,是由角闪石族矿物中透闪石阳起石矿物(以透闪石为主)组成的致密块体.在显微镜下观察,软玉同硬玉一样也呈纤维状结构.这种由透闪石或阳起石组成的纤维状结构,是软玉具有细腻和坚韧性质的主要原因.透闪石是一种含水和氟的钙镁硅酸盐,其成分中常含有4%以下的铁,当铁含量超过4%时即过渡为阳起石.我国新疆软玉块体的化学分析结果是:二氧化硅占57.6O%,氧化铝0.25%,三氧化二铁0.66%,氧化锰0.16%,氧化镁25.61%,氧化钙2.68%,其它杂质2.74%.硬度6~6.5.比重2.96~3.17.矿物折光率:透闪石为Np=1.599~1.619,Nm=1.612~1.630,Ng=1.622~1.640,重折率0.O21~0.023;阳起石为Np=1.619~1.688,Nm=1.630~1.697,Ng=1.640~1.705,重折率0.021~0.027.

  软玉常见颜色有白、灰白、绿、暗绿、黄、黑等色.多数不透明,个别半透明,有玻璃光泽.软玉的品种主要是按颜色不同来划分的.白玉中最佳者白如羊脂,称“羊脂玉”.青玉呈灰白至青白色,目前有人将灰白色的青玉称为“青白玉”.碧玉呈绿至暗绿色,有时可见黑色脏点,是含杂质如铬尖晶石矿物等所致.当含杂质多而呈黑色时,即为珍贵的墨玉.黄玉也是一种较珍贵的品种.青玉中有糖水黄色皮壳,现有人称其为“糖玉”.白色略带粉红色者有人称为“粉玉”.虎皮色的则称为“虎皮玉”等.

  目前所知,国内除台湾丰田地区产软玉外(包括透闪石猫眼石),主要产地在新疆.新疆和田玉的悠久历史,在《史记》、《汉书》、《魏书》、《隋书》、《旧唐书》、《新唐书》、《五代史》等古书中,均有记载.不过,西汉以前,史籍所载新疆产软玉的情况常夹带着不少神话故事.从《史记》中记载的《李斯谏逐客书》和《苏厉给赵惠文王书》中的几句话(“今陛下致昆山之玉,有随、和之宝……此数宝者秦不生焉.”“代马胡犬不东下,昆仑之玉不出,此三宝者亦非王有已.”)来看,早在春秋战国至秦统一六国时,新疆的软玉已从昆仑山北麓和田诸地源源不断地输向内地.尤其是密尔岱所产的软玉块度较大,常有上万斤者.清时在乌沙克塔克台地区有密尔岱产的弃玉三块,大者万斤,次者八千斤,又次者重达三千斤.故宫博物院珍宝馆珍藏的“大禹治水玉山”原重一万零七百多斤,这一迄今为止的最大玉件,即产自密尔岱.

  岫岩玉,简称岫玉,因产辽宁省岫岩县而得名.这种玉石的主要品种表面看来,同新疆的青玉或碧玉有些相似,但组成的矿物和硬度则不同.组成岫玉的主要矿物是蛇纹石.成分中常含有二价铁、三价铁,还混有锰、铝、镍、钴等杂质,这些混入物使岫岩玉具有各种颜色.岫玉的颜色有白、黄、淡黄、粉红、浅绿、绿、翠绿、暗绿、褐绿及其它杂色.其中常以绿色调为主,颜色介于青玉和碧玉之间.组成岫玉的蛇纹石矿物,通常占85%以上,常见少量方解石、透闪石等其它矿物.透闪石的混入,可增大岫玉的硬度.

  岫玉的五质非常细腻,半透明至不透明,蜡状至油脂光泽.硬度2.5~5.5,比重2.5~2.8.蛇纹石矿物的平均折光率1.54~1.55.蛇纹石是镁质碳酸盐岩、镁质基性宕、超基性岩的交代蚀变矿物,也可与滑石、绿泥石等共生.

  岫玉玉质同翡翠和软玉极易区分,主要是光泽(老带油脂光泽)和硬度的不同.

  岫玉广泛产生接触变质的镁质大理岩中,我国很多地区具备这种地质环境,所以其产地相当广泛.目前已知有下述不同产地和以产地为名所划分的品种:

  岫玉绿色,半透明至不透明,产地在辽宁省岫岩县瓦沟.化学成份是:二氧化硅43.80%,氧化镁42.10%,氧化钙0.56%,氧化铝0.006%,三氧化二铁0.64%,水11.81%,杂质12.85%.硬度4.8~5.5,比重2.61.产于古老地层白云石大理岩中.

  在我国江苏、浙江一带新石器时代良渚文化的玉器中,经鉴定发现其中有岫玉(郑建:《江苏省吴县新石器遗址出土的古玉研究》).殷墟妇好墓中有四十余件玉器,“其中多数与现在辽宁岫岩玉接近,少数与河南南阳玉接近,极个别与新疆和阗(田)玉相似.”(夏湘蓉、李仲均、王根元:《中国古代矿业开发史》第428页).由此可见岫玉的开采史至少有三四千年历史了.

  南方玉开采史不详,因产于广东省信宜县泗流地区,故又称“信宜玉”.玉质大多数由蛇纹石组成,并含有少量金云母、滑石、方解石、透闪石、绿泥石、绿帘石等.因含杂质多,颜色常与岫玉不同,色调暗绿至褐绿.同时产出的地质条件与岫玉也有差别,它产于云母片岩和条带状混合片麻岩组成的地层中,玉石矿体下面常有0.2~5.5米厚的滑石层.

  祁连玉产祁连山,玉色暗绿,带有较多的黑色脏点,岫玉和南方玉没有这一特点.

  京黄玉淡黄色,也由蛇纹石组成,因产北京十三陵老君堂接触变质大理岩中而得名.本世纪60年代发现,历史上是否开采过,情况不明.因产量过少,现已停采.

  安绿石也是蛇纹石玉质,因首次发现于吉林集安县的绿水河而得名.产于蛇纹石化大理岩古老的地层中.玉质较纯,细腻光洁,苹果绿至墨绿色,微透明至半透明.

  与岫玉相似的蛇纹石玉石还有不少产地和品种.因此,当我们鉴别新石器时代以来属于这类玉质的玉器时,切不可轻易断定玉质的来源.1977年,南京博物院在江苏吴县草鞋山、张陵山发现的新石器时代的玉器中,经鉴定有一件玉管为蛇纹石玉石,就不是辽宁产生的岫玉,玉料可能是江苏镇江的产物.

LSI Syncro aims to plug gap in shared storage

LSI Syncro aims to plug gap in shared storage

SAN JOSE, Calif. – At its annual technical conference here, LSI Corp. launched the first two products in a new suite called Syncro focused on shared server storage. The company believes they address an un-served segment between high-end storage area networks (SANs) and low cost, direct-attached drives.

The most innovative of the initial products is the Syncro Boot Appliance, a 1U box that can handle boot functions for up to 48 servers in a rack. Syncro CS is a family aimed at small- and medium-sized business servers, starting with a re-branded version of LSI’s high availability direct-attached storage.

“We have no illusions of replacing Fibre Channel and iSCSI SANs—what they do they do exceptionally well,” said Tom Kodet, LSI’s market segment lead for mega data centers. “But we perceive a gap between them” and dedicated drives linked to an individual server, he said.

The boot appliance consolidates and shares storage resources in a data center rack, a concept central to the new Syncro brand. Today data center racks typically contain dozens of servers, each with its own low-end hard drive containing a boot image for the server.

The new LSI appliance consolidates 24 of those typically 250 Gbyte drives into two 2.5-inch terabyte drives linked to all the servers over eSATA. The appliance uses existing and new LSI chips that create and manage up to 24 partitions in the drive for the servers.

The box can contain up to four drives to handle up to 48 servers. By sharing drives, LSI estimates it can lower initial capital costs by ten to 15 percent and lower hard disk power use by 60 percent while boosting reliability.

The company plans a series of firmware upgrades that will add new features. One feature is automatically booting a new server when an existing one fails, another saves network bandwidth by allowing the appliance to request a common boot image for all the servers it manages.

“There’s a really killer road map for this both to disaggregate drives and preserve net bandwidth,” said Kodet.

Data center managers at Facebook recently said they will switch from using 250 Gbyte hard drives to low capacity solid-state drives (SSDs) to handle booting individual servers. Kodet said the LSI appliance will provide similar reliability benefits and lower costs than SSDs.

Separately, LSI is re-branding as Syncro CS the high availability direct-attached storage products it has shown in technology demos for several months. The product uses two modified LSI MegaRAID cards to let two servers share a single disk array for increased reliability.

Syncro CS was developed as part of a collaboration with Microsoft on its Windows Cluster Services software. The two companies plan further enhancements, extending the work to more nodes through use of a future LSI fabric switch.

In a Microsoft survey, many IT users said their top concern was reliability of direct-attached storage. But respondents said they could not afford a more reliable SAN. The survey helped spark LSI’s work on the Synchro product family.

The systems-level Syncro designs do not represent a trend of LSI trying to move up to higher levels of integration. “We had to build an appliance to show customers what we are enabling, but we are not dead set to be in the box business,” Kodet said.

Electronica: Audi signs NXP, ST as strategic suppliers


MUNICH, Germany – Dutch Chip vendor NXP and German automobile manufacturer Audi have announced a partnership for innovation that will focus on eight applications segments. The move follows a similar announcement between Audi and STMicroelectronics

These segments range from in-vehicle networking and in-car entertainment to emerging fields for the connected car. This includes car-to-x communications, telematics, near-field communications and high-voltage controls for electrical vehicles.

Semiconductors will play an important role in connecting vehicles and NXP has a strong background in adjacent technologies such as NFC for mobile, wireless reception, radar

NXP and Audi’s partnership is part of Audi’s Progressive Semiconductor Program (PSCP), the comprehensive semiconductor strategy aimed at intensifying the role and engagement of semiconductor companies in the processes of the German car manufacturer.

The previous month STMicroelectronics announced it would work with Audi to co-develop semiconductor products. ST said it would focus on three areas: the reduction of CO2 emissions, safety and security, infotainment and comfort.

"We have chosen to work with ST as part of our Progressive Semiconductor Program to further proactively strengthen our involvement and demand on innovative white-box electronics,” said Ricky Hudi, chief executive engineer for electrics and electronics at Audi, in a statement issued by ST at the time. "ST was a natural choice, as it has a broad technology portfolio, in-house manufacturing capabilities and a proven commitment to automotive."

Hudi said of signing up NXP: "The partnership is another milestone in our Progressive Semiconductor Program and underscores the mutual trust that both corporations have built over many years. In addition, NXP's strategy to provide the electronic interfaces for the connected car is smart and gives clear indications for Audi's future plans."

Huawei is closing Irish RF design center

Huawei is closing Irish RF design center


MUNICH, Germany – Chinese telecom equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. is closing down its RF IC design center in Cork, Ireland.

The 10-person RF design team was acquired by Huawei in 2010 as part of the purchase of M4S from Option NV (Leuven, Belgium), which gave Huawei access to a 40-nm CMOS multimode software-defined radio, originally developed at the IMEC research institute. A source said the RF IC design team is now seeking other opportunities.

Jim Connelly, Cork site manager for Huawei, confirmed the closure. Other engineering activities continue at the site, he said.

M4S was spun off from IMEC (Leuven, Belgium) in 2006 to commercialize the Scaldio scalable radio transceiver for use in software-defined radio. M4S (Leuven, Belgium) subsequently tried to raise venture capital as an independent startup but in a difficult funding climate eventually became a subsidiary of USB dongle and data card supplier Option NV (Leuven, Belgium).

In December 2010 Huawei announced it was acquiring all of M4S as part of a cooperation agreement with Option to develop mobile broadband technology for Europe. The purchase price was reported to be 8 million euro (about $10.5 million).

Chip market to shrink in 2012, says Gartner

Chip market to shrink in 2012, says Gartner


MUNICH, Germany – Gartner has revised downwards its forecast for the global semiconductor market.

The company now sees the market in 2012 being worth $298 billion, a reduction in size of 3.0 percent compared with a market worth $307 billion in 2011. For 2013 Gartner sees growth of 4.2 percent taking the market to $310 billion.

As recently as 3Q12 Gartner was forecasting growth figures for 2012 and 2103 of 0.6 percent and 6.9 percent, respectively. That would have put the market size at $309 billion and $330 billion.

At a briefing held in Egham, England Gartner presented data and commented in presentations that The industry is on thin Ice, macroeconomic events could derail growth in 2013 and two consumer centric applications account for 40 percent of 2013 growth. Those being smartphones and solid-state drives.

Munich Calling: Quiet, engineers at work?

Munich Calling: Quiet, engineers at work?


MUNICH, Germany – The biennial Electronica exhibition and conference got off to a quiet start here on Tuesday (Nov. 13). While the "A" halls, that are home to the semiconductor exhibitors seemed busy enough, certain key indicators, such as the crowds on the subway and in the atrium area prior to the initial opening of the show, seemed to be down on previous years.

In fact there were empty seats on my U-bahn train as I made my way toward the Messe fairground at about 9:00am. I have never experienced that and I have been coming to Munich for more years than I care to mention. In other years it has been standing room only and frequently it was not possible to get on a train at the stops close to the Messe forcing would-be attendees to travel back into the city center to try and get "upstream" of the crowds and be able to board a train.

People tell me Wednesday and Thursday will be the busier. For now this Electronica feels similar to that of 2008 which came just two months after financial services company Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. That was the start of a bleak winter of discontent.

I only have anecdotal evidence and official numbers will be issued by the Electronica organizers Messe Munchen at the end of the show.

So what is happening in 2012? The exhibitors are still there in force but how much longer will that be the case if the crowds do not also show up? Or perhaps the key attendees were always a relatively small percentage of the show traffic and are still here?

It has to be acknowledged that the electronics industry is changing and changing particularly in Europe. As a components-based exhibition Electronica was always one that was favored by design-in and manufacturing companies looking to find components, component ideas and to make buying decisions. There are large parts of the German manufacturing industry that still looks like that; industrial, automotive, embedded sectors continue to be strong here. The old-fashioned family-run businesses that remain privately held and see the virtue in making things have become a popular image here. They are also an explanation as to why the German economy continues to be the engine of Europe.

But it is now the case that the number of semiconductor companies attending Electronica has reduced over time and the biggest booths belong to the distributor companies that support chip sales to the mass of smaller companies. And globalization has taken a toll on Europe which also has its own austerity crises playing out in various countries from Ireland to Portugal to Greece. It may well be that engineers in the more far-flung parts of Europe just did not make the trip to Munich this time.

The hope remains that those engineers are still gainfully employed, but are "heads-down" trying to innovate their way out of the stagnation and hard times they find themselves confronted with. There is at least some anecdotal evidence of interest in R&D products at Electronics such as instruments, oscilloscopes and so on. The argument runs that R&D spending is an early indicator of more general production spending.

春带彩翡翠手镯 玉观音_玉貔貅_价格_图片_收藏_鉴赏—妙瑞可翡翠网


    翡翠手镯的颜色很多,有帝王绿、祖母绿、满绿、苹果绿、秧苗绿和菠菜绿等等,但是这些颜色的翡翠手镯,在市场上很少流通,一来是价格太贵,二来是这样颜色的翡翠手镯矿脉渐渐枯竭。从而导致人们开始转向选购和收藏春带彩的翡翠手镯。

春带彩翡翠手镯价格

    春带彩翡翠手镯,是指在翡翠手镯上含有紫罗兰色泽和翠绿色两种颜色。这里的“春”是指紫罗兰色的翡翠。“彩”则是指手镯所带的绿色,二者合在一起就是春带彩。随着更多的人涌入翡翠行业,大肆的收购和收藏春带彩翡翠手镯,所以造成现今春带彩的翡翠原石已非常稀少。

缅甸翡翠A货糯冰种春带彩手镯(54.7mm)20153

    春带彩翡翠手镯是人们最爱的颜色手镯。造成这样色泽的形成,是因为翡翠形成的过程中,含有一些致色元素,即锰铁铬锂等元素,这些化学元素可以单独的致色,也可以一起反应使翡翠产生不同的颜色。翡翠紫罗兰色最难形成,受到了很多的条件限制。

    在翡翠刚开采出来的时候,是没有春带彩这样的说法,最早人们是根据“莼”这种植物来命名的。“莼”是一种水生草本植物,花开的时候是呈现粉紫赤色和紫红色。后来人们就借助“莼”这样绿叶托着的粉紫色形象,给春带彩翡翠手镯命名。但是莼这样的野生植物太过于稀少,就渐渐转化成是紫罗兰花的颜色,所以有时候也会说成是紫罗兰翡翠手镯。

AMD says it's not for sale

AMD says it's not for sale

SAN FRANCISCO—Chip vendor Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) said Tuesday (Nov. 13) its board of directors is not actively pursuing the sale of the company after a national news service reported the firm hired financial experts to explore strategic options, including the possible sale of the company.

"AMD's board and management believe that the strategy the company is currently pursuing to drive long-term growth by leveraging AMD's highly-differentiated technology assets is the right approach to enhance shareholder value," an AMD spokesman said in a statement emailed Tuesday. "AMD is not actively pursuing a sale of the company or significant assets at this time."

The Reuters news service reported Tuesday that AMD hired JPMorgan Chase & Co. to explore its strategic options, including the potential sale of AMD.

AMD last month announced it would lay off 15 percent of its employees to cut costs while undertaking an aggressive push into embedded markets to counter declining PC sales.

AMD's stock price surged near the close of trading Tuesday after the Reuters report broke. The stock ended the day at $2.09, up 5 percent from Monday's close.

Microsoft's top Windows exec departs

Microsoft's top Windows exec departs

SAN FRANCISCO—Microsoft Corp. announced Monday (Nov. 12) that longtime executive Steven Sinofsky, president of Windows and Windows Live, is leaving the company.

Sinofsky's departure comes just two weeks after the launch of Windows 8, the most ambitious redesign of the operating system in at least two decades. Sinofsky, who joined Microsoft in 1989 and was considered a candidate to one day become CEO of the software giant, oversaw the development of Windows 8, which supports touchscreens and features a tiled "fast and fluid" GUI that attempts to bring the user experience of smartphones and tablets to the PC.

Reviews of Windows 8 have largely been mixed thus far. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said last month that the company sold 4 million upgrades to Windows 8 within three days of its launch on Oct. 26, a faster start than Windows 7 managed.

Sinofsky was reportedly a controversial figure within Microsoft. After getting the ear of Bill Gates early in his Microsoft career, Sinofsky reportedly frequently clashed with other Microsoft executives.

It is unclear if Sinofsky left Microsoft of his own accord or was pushed out. Some news outlets have reported that Sinofsky was shown the door, but Microsoft framed the departure as Sinofsky's decision. In his goodbye email to Microsoft employees, reported by tech news site Mashable, Sinofsky says his departure is a "personal and private choice" made as part of a desire to seek new opportunities.

In Microsoft's statement on his departure, Sinofsky is quoted as saying: "It is impossible to count the blessings I have received over my years at Microsoft. I am humbled by the professionalism and generosity of everyone I have had the good fortune to work with at this awesome company."

In the same statement, Ballmer said he was "grateful for the many years of work that Steven has contributed to the company."

To replace Sinofsky, Microsoft announced that Julie Larson-Green will be promoted to lead all Windows software and hardware engineering. Tami Reller, Windows' chief finanacial officer and chief marketing officer will assume responsibility for the business of Windows, Microsoft said. Both will report directly to Ballmer.

Since 1993, Larson-Green has worked on and led some of the most successful products for Microsoft, including the user experiences for early versions of Internet Explorer, and helped drive the thinking behind the refresh of the user experience for Microsoft Office, Microsoft said.

Yoshida in China: Spreadtrum girds for margin woes

Yoshida in China: Spreadtrum girds for margin woes


TOKYO -- Even China's Spreadtrum Communications, a fabless company armed with a better cost structure than most mobile chip vendors, faces the perils of lower margins.

Despite solid third quarter results reported by Spreadtrum last week, Canaccord Genuity technology analyst Michael Walkley lowered his rating on Spreadtrum to "hold" from "buy."

Walkley noted in his latest report that “despite guidance for Q4/12 smartphone solution sales to increase 64% sequentially to 18 million units, Spreadtrum management guided to sequentially flat Q4/12 gross margin.” That leads him to believe “pricing pressure in both the 2G feature phone and EDGE smartphone markets, increased TD-SCDMA smartphone competition and higher operating expenses given Spreadtrum’s aggressive roadmap will result in lower margins than our previous expectations.”

During Spreadtrum conference call on its results, analysts grilled Spreadtrum CEO Leo Li (left) about Spreadtrum’s product pricing and profit margins. Li dodged these questions, doggedly sticking to vanilla responses like, “For smartphones, I think we’re above our corporate margin.”

A closer look at Spreadtrum’s product offerings and its roadmap illustrates the current status of China’s mobile phone market and shifting consumer demand for smartphones. What follows is a snapshot of leading carrier China Mobile’s market and Spreadtrum’s role as described by Li

1.China Mobile’s momentum

China Mobile, which operates China's TD-SCDMA network, has close to 700 million smartphone consumers. Each year, more than 200 million users are replacing their handsets.

2. TD-CDMA market

In 2011, the TD-SCDMA market approached 50 million units. In 2012, “we expect it to be 85 million, which will grow to 140 million units in 2013,” Li said.

Electronica: NXP's CEO sees tough year ahead

Electronica: NXP's CEO sees tough year ahead


MUNICH, Germany – Next year could be a tough year for the overall semiconductor market with low single-digit percentage growth, according to Rick Clemmer, CEO of NXP Semiconductors NV.

Clemmer gave his opinion during a panel discussion during the first day of the Electronica exhibition here. He spoke in response to a question from the floor about the outlook for the market. "Next year could be a tough year, a mid-to-low single digit percentage increase in semiconductor sales," he said. "Typically in the U.S. the year after an election is not good." At the same time Europe is coping with its own financial problems, Clemmer said. "China is the key to world's economy."

However, Clemmer said a mid-to-low single-digit percentage increase in 2013 was in line with an intermediate-term perspective of high-single-digit or low double-digit percentage growth that he feels the semiconductor market can produce. The other panelists did not give any firm opinion but nor did they demur about what Clemmer had said.

Startup CogniMem demos new road to computing

Startup CogniMem demos new road to computing

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- CogniMem Technologies Inc. aims to demonstrate at Supercomputing 2012 the scalability of its non Von Neumann approach to computing based on pattern recognition. The startup will demo a system using 40,000 of its silicon processing elements.

The CogniBlox system will employ 10 boards, each using a Lattice FPGA and four of the startup’s own CM1K parallel processors and 4MB of magneto-resistive memory. Each of the CM1K chips includes 1,024 processing/memory elements.

The chips use techniques born in the era of neural networks and fuzzy logic to learn and recognize patterns in data. Thus the system and processors do not function like today’s load-store machines and are not programmed using current techniques. However they can be used for a wide range of applications including stock and weather forecasting, data mining and analytics.

“I firmly believe this is the way things need to evolve--this is the real parallel computing model,” said Bruce McCormick, a 36-year Intel veteran who helped found the startup in April 2011.

The new approach solves the problem of scaling, the startup claims. Today’s multicore CPUs and GPUs can scale but not in a linear fashion, something McCormick said is possible and he aims to demonstrate with CogniBlox.

“To our knowledge no one has put together as a system where performance does not change as you add more hardware and has this many elements together in one system,” he said.

Earlier this year, the company failed to get working a more ambitious demo of a million-node system, suggesting it hit issues with achieving low latency in its FGA links. It is still pursing multiple paths toward that goal.

One downside to the CogniMem approach is cost. Each board costs about $3,000 in single-unit quantities, so the demo system with 40,000 elements could cost nearly than $30,000. Shifting from expensive MRAM to cheaper NOR flash memory could slash costs, but NOR lacks the responsiveness of MRAM.

The demo system aims to execute 5.2 tera-operations per second. The architecture could be a contender for an exascale-class supercomputer, McCormick claimed.

CogniMem is privately funded. McCormick would not say who the startup’s investors are or how much they have put into the company.

One of CogniMem’s founders was a lead designer on the zero instruction set computer (ZISC) developed with IBM. The ZINC project is no longer active at IBM, but Big Blue did announce work last summer for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on chips for similar concepts.

Separately, Frost & Sullivan gave CogniMem its 2012 New Product Innovation award. The market watcher cited the systems novel approach to resolving the system memory bottleneck to enable high levels of parallelism in high performance computing.

Microchip rolls $2 gesture-recognition part

Microchip rolls $2 gesture-recognition part

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Microchip Technology Inc. is rolling out a low power, low cost gesture recognition technology aimed at products from notebooks to lighting controls. The GestIC technology was developed by startup Ident Technology, acquired by Microchip earlier this year.

Nintendo drove gesture recognition into the mainstream with its Wii game console in 2006. Microsoft soon followed with its widely hailed Kinect. Since then a wide range of chip makers from Ceva to Qualcomm have developed or acquired gesture recognition technology.

Microchip aims to stake at a space as one of the lowest cost and power alternatives. The $2 MGC3130 chip at the heart of its approach uses just 150 microwatts in an always-on, wake-on-motion mode. It burns 90 milliwatts at full throttle.

The chip generates a 15 centimeter high electrical field in the 70-130 KHz range using thin sensing electrodes based on conductive materials such as pc board traces. It sports a 150 dpi resolution, sampling at 200 Hz and uses frequency hopping to eliminate interference.

Microchip programmed ten gestures into the device with recognition based on stochastic Hidden Markov models. It also gives developers access to raw data to create and interpret their own gestures.

The MGC3130 will cost just $2.26 in high volume and will be in production in April. The chip is sampling now as part of Microchip’s Sabrewing evaluation kit that sells for $169 and includes five- or seven-inch electrodes and a graphical user interface program.

Taiwan’s AU Optronics Corp. will build the chip into a touch screen display. Microchip is working with about five other OEMs who plan to use the chip in laptops, keyboards and other products.

“We have a long tail of customers, so we expect people to do interesting things with the product,” said Fanie Duvenhage, director of Microchip’s human-machine interface division. “The consumer market moves fast, so we expect it to be first to use the technology, but it will appear in automotive apps and longer term in medical systems, too,” he said.

“I think that it fits a niche based on distance, between touch- and camera-based systems,” said Jordan Selburn, senior principal consumer analyst at IHS iSuppli.

“It’s well suited for tablets, notebooks and desktops, but not for televisions or set-top boxes that tend to be located too far away,” Selburn said. “There may be some industrial uses as well in the home control area, where the sensor is embedded in a wall,” he added.

    翡翠平安扣吊坠,有时候也会被人们沿用古代的叫法,叫成是怀古、罗汉眼。古老相传,认为佩戴翡翠平安扣或者是玉石平安扣,是可以驱邪消灾,也可以镇宅辟邪,更是使在外出行的人们,得到护佑而出入平安。

    翡翠平安扣吊坠可谓是中国传统玉器造型中,最古老的一款玉石首饰品了。我们从翡翠平安扣的整体造型上看,它有内外圈都是圆的,也有外圆内方的平安扣存在,但这种是极少数才会出现的。这样的造型给人们的感觉是很圆润,也很圆滑变通,这恰是中国人一直追求的中庸之道。

    翡翠平安扣吊坠在封建社会时期,是被叫成是“平安壁”,通过《中医相法》、《本草纲目》等等医学著作中,也都有记载翡翠平安扣的有养身护体的功效的。现如今,翡翠平安扣吊坠在恋人和爱人之间,是常被用来互赠,寓意彼此之间的情义不变,平安一世。

    其实,早期的翡翠平安扣吊坠的造型是和古时候的铜钱形制是一样的。在古代,人们认为佩戴铜钱是可以消灾避邪保平安的。小编到现在还保留着父亲小时候佩戴的一串铜钱。但是随着时间的发展,人们认为佩戴铜钱是不雅观的,于是就用翡翠玉石雕刻成铜钱的形制,后又演化成圆形状,这样既美观的时候,又能养生,而且寓意非常的美好。

    冰种翡翠四季豆吊坠,是在所有翡翠首饰品中,最能将翡翠的质地美、透明度和灵性给完全展示和演绎的。冰种翡翠四季豆吊坠有时候也被人们叫做是连中三元、佛豆。

    将冰种翡翠四季豆吊坠叫成是连中三元,这是借助翡翠四季豆吊坠雕刻上有三个圆形果实的形象,以此来比喻连中三元的意思。雕刻的形状是采用荔枝、桂圆、核桃的果实皆成圆形的形状,因为当三种圆形并列在一起时,这里“圆”与“元”同音,则是喻为“连中三元”的意思。在《三元记-格天》中:“玉帝下旨:谪下文曲星与冯商为子,连中三元,官封五世”。在清代科举制度,分三级考试,中试着的第一名分别给以解元、会元、状元的头衔,若是应试举子在三级考试中,连取三个第一名,就是所谓的连中三元,这是一种无上的荣耀。

    而冰种翡翠四季豆也被人们叫成是佛豆,是因为自古代的寺庙到现今的真正有大毅力、大智慧的修行人,长年以豆角为食物,而这些豆角又多是豆荚、扁豆。因为在寺庙,又是被佛教徒给食用,离佛很近,所以也有佛豆的称呼。冰种翡翠四季豆吊坠虽然和佛教有很深远的寓意和联系,但是冰种翡翠四季豆吊坠,则是最适合不同之人佩戴的。

    现今的冰种翡翠四季豆吊坠造型,是完全采用豆荚生长的果实形状来雕刻的。冰种翡翠四季豆吊坠,会在翡翠上用弧线雕刻出三颗饱满水润的圆豆,雕刻成后再经抛光出水,那一刹那,宛若清水出芙蓉般,水亮润滑、晶莹剔透。如果冰种翡翠四季豆吊坠上的豆荚,还带着绿色、飘花、飘翠的时候,那么这样的色泽在点点滴滴的柔弱中,散发的是迷人的光辉。就好比是冬末雪水化开的时候,战战兢兢冒出来的嫩芽一样,惹人无尽怜爱。如果冰种翡翠四季豆吊坠上还镶嵌有钻石、金银饰物,则会给人美轮美奂的视觉冲击,在娇羞万千的时候,又彰显大方高贵,让人爱不释手。

    在中国的传统文化中,扁豆是常见的祥瑞之物,其寓意丰收、多子多福、耕耘收获。在晚清至民国的雕刻作品中,老豆荚不同数量的豆子有着不同的寓意:三颗意为连中三元,福、禄、寿齐到;四颗豆子寓意四季平安;佩戴和赠送此类雕刻题材的翡翠饰品,则是寓意才高八斗、学富五车、连拔头筹。相近的翡翠雕刻饰品还有三元及第、喜报三元,是由喜鹊、三个圆豆、元宝组成的。

Apple settles patent litigation with HTC

Apple settles patent litigation with HTC

SAN FRANCISCO—Apple Inc. announced over the weekend that it settled its patent dispute with Taiwanese handset maker HTC Corp. in a deal that reportedly calls for HTC to pay Apple up to $280 million per year.

Apple (Cupertino, Calif.) announced Nov. 10 that the two companies reached a global settlement that includes the dismissal of all current lawsuits and a 10-year license agreement. The license extends to current and future patents held by both parties, Apple said.

Neither company disclosed the specific terms of the settlement. But Shaw Wu, an analyst with brokerage firm Sterne Agee estimates that Apple could be getting $6 to $8 for every Android handset that HTC sells. With HTC selling an estimated 30 million to 35 million Android handsets per year, the deal could be worth about $180 million to $280 million each year, according to Wu.

HTC also reportedly pays Microsoft Corp. $5 in licensing fees for each Android phone it sells.

Analysts have been predicting that Apple would be more aggressive in attempting to force OEMs of Android handsets to license its technology after a U.S. court awarded Apple $1 billion after high-profile patent litigation trial against Samsung this summer in Silicon Valley.

"We are glad to have reached a settlement with HTC," said Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, in a joint statement released by the companies."We will continue to stay laser focused on product innovation."

"HTC is pleased to have resolved its dispute with Apple, so HTC can focus on innovation instead of litigation," said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC, in the same statement.
