Apple has not admitted iPhone6s battery problem

According to foreign media reports, if you are using the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6s, you may encounter battery problems. The most common situation is that even if the phone shows the battery still has enough power, but the iPhone6 ​​or iPhone 6s may still automatically shut down automatically.
Moreover, this is not a new problem, because the first time earlier this year, users have raised this issue. According to the "Forbes" reported that Apple official forums related information posted, a complaint about non-iPhone 6s models have TV problems post has more than 62 pages of replies, many of which users are said to be upgrading iOS10.2 After the problem, the problem is more obvious after the update, has seriously affected the normal use of the user. ff300r17ke3
Apple officials also launched a limited range of battery replacement items for the iPhone 6s and announced that the software upgrade will help other iPhone models to solve the battery problem. However, from the current situation, the effect of software upgrades seems very limited.
In this regard, "Fortune" magazine editor Jeff - John - Roberts (Jeff John Roberts) that the most annoying thing about this is that Apple refused to clarify where the problem in the end. Moreover, the company has been "pretending" other models do not exist similar problems, but only for some iPhone6s models start a limited range of battery replacement project.
It is reported that Roberts had their own iPhone 6 battery problems encountered, and "Fortune" magazine at least five employees of the iPhone 6 also encountered a similar problem. Roberts revealed that he learned that Apple retail store employees will provide users with an unusual solution, that Apple can re-install the firmware to the iPhone 6 in question, but this method may lead to the loss of important data, including short message content . cm1000ha-24h
Apple officially issued a formal statement to the Fortune magazine, although Apple in the statement written in a lot of text, but always evasive does not directly recognize the safety of its equipment battery, Apple's statement reads as follows:
We always work hard and are committed to providing the best products, user experience and customer support. We believe that this is the Apple user satisfaction in China and the world smartphone manufacturers have been the leading reason.
We have been very serious about customer complaints, including a limited number of iPhone abnormal shutdown. We also need to thank the media for conveying this issue to us. In the face of these problems, we will launch a formal investigation, and will carry out a detailed analysis of the involved equipment. When we find the problem, Apple will provide users with possible solutions.
Company survey found that in September 2015 and October during the production of a small amount of iPhone 6s used in the manufacturing process with too much outside air mixed with the battery parts. Two weeks ago, we launched a free replacement project for affected batteries around the world. Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused to users, but it must be noted that this is not a security issue.
At the same time, there are a small number of models not affected by the list of users also reflect their own equipment there is the problem of automatic shutdown, it is because some models will be in normal use for the purpose of protecting the device circuit components automatically shut down. To gather more information on this issue, we will have an additional diagnostic feature built into the iOS software update expected next week. By collecting this information, we can improve the algorithm used to manage battery performance and shutdown. And if this improvement proved to be feasible, we will be added to the future of the software update push.

KIT researches multi-core processors for automotive and industrial applications

Safety-critical applications in automotive, aviation and industry 4.0 will require a significant increase in digital computing performance. This can be provided via Multicore technologies. The ARAMiS II project, developed at the KIT, aims to increase safety, efficiency and comfort by using multicore technologies in vehicles, aircraft and production facilities.
The demand for digital computing performance is increasing enormously, among other things by highly automated vehicles and real-time networked machines, but also by the increasing integration and interaction with other products and services. The use of Multicore technologies significantly increases the computing power of embedded systems in vehicles, aircraft or industrial plants. Multicore processors have multiple processor cores that must work in parallel. This can increase the computing power enormously, but the development is more complex for several processor cores - for example, when it comes to timing or critical point critical requirements. 7101j52zqe22
Multicore processors are now used successfully in many applications, such as PCs, tablets and smartphones. However, safety-critical applications in mobility and industry require additional complex requirements, which is why multi-core systems have hardly become established in industrial embedded applications or in the automotive industry. The requirements for strict safety certifications have so far hardly been met by these building blocks .
"In the new ARAMiS II project, we are creating the indispensable methodological prerequisites to increase safety, efficiency and comfort in the use of multicore technologies and make them industrially available. The results of ARAMiS II are supplemented by standardization activities of the domains concerned and are thus made available to other industry partners. "Says Professor Jürgen Becker, spokesman of the institute management of the Institute for Information Technology (ITIV) of the KIT and together with Falco Bapp of the ITIV coordinator of ARAMiS II. 7201k2zge
In its predecessor, the ARAMiS project, KIT has successfully demonstrated with numerous partners from research and industry that multicore technologies can be used and integrated in safety-critical applications. Based on this, ARAMiS II is to develop, develop and optimize the efficient development processes, especially the systematic tool chain and the industrial platforms with the necessary methods, for the reliable use of multicore architectures. Demonstrators in the domains of automotive engineering, aerospace and industrial automation should demonstrate the applicability of the developed concepts and methods across all domains.
In a kick-off meeting on 1 and 2 December 2016, all partners identified the next activities in the six subprojects: applications and requirements, structured multicore development, multicore methods and tools, multicore platforms, and architectural patterns , Implementation and evaluation, results assurance and utilization.
The consortium of ARAMiS II consists of 33 partners. In addition to renowned research facilities, leading manufacturers from the automotive and aerospace industries as well as the industrial sector as well as various suppliers, software and tool manufacturers are participating. Continental, for example, is an industry spokesman in ARAMiS II, Audi, Bosch, Airbus and Siemens.
Like its predecessor, ARAMiS II has been designed for three years; The project volume totals more than 26 million euros. ARAMiS II is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with around 15 million euros.
