SHENZHEN -- Huawei, one of China's largest electronics OEMs, took its cellphone manufacturing group off the market, saying the world financial situation must first be resolved. "Given the current global market conditions and prevailing economic uncertainty the interests of the company are best served by postponing the sale process," Huawei said in a press release. Huawei was expected to get up to $2 billion for a majority stake in the division, which was being marketed reportedly to increase the company's transparency to overseas investors. (Huawei's founders have ties to China's military.) Huawei outsources some handset product to Cal-Comp Electronics and Flextronics. It is unclear how the decision will impact those firms, as Huawei (pronounced "wah-way") supposedly planned to ramp its annual handset production to 50 million units. The company said that it might renew the sales process if the economic problems resolve themselves. The company's cellphone unit is expected to report net profits of $400 million on revenues of $3.5 billion this year, according to published reports.

Grieve Introduces No. 952 Oven
No. 952 is a 550°F electrically-heated forced air convection bench oven, currently used for various programmed heat processings. Workspace dimensions measure 26" x 22" x 16". 3kW installed in Incoloy-sheathed tubular elements provide heat to the workload. A 1/80-HP recirculating blower creates a convection air movement in the chamber. Features 3" insulated walls, an aluminized steel exterior, Type 430 stainless steel interior and an integral oven stand. Has a programmable and recording temperature controller with 10" diameter circular chart, plus a manual reset excess temperature controller...

Improving Fabrication Yields
How the CAM engineer can make the difference. Embedded in fabrication planning is calculating panel size, checking layer stackup information, reviewing expected yields, reviewing board construction and verifying impedance control calculations. Typical panel sizes are 9 x 12˝, 12 x 18˝, 18 x 24˝, or 18 x 36˝. A number of factors need to be considered when calculating panel size. For instance, consider a small board of 25 sq. in. A relatively high number of this small board can be panelized...
