Have you seen Google self-driving car?  Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technologies are providing the vision for a new generation of driverless vehicles. LiDAR, a concept similar to RADAR, uses laser light instead of radio waves.  LiDAR sensors are currently used in a variety of military and commercial autonomous vehicle applications, as well as 3-D mapping, surveying and other applications.

LED technology has advanced to enable broad new applications and exciting opportunities in recent years. Projection LEDs have been engineered to deliver extremely high optical output and to begin replacing mercury discharge lamps with an environmentally friendly, solid-state light source.  Pico-projector design uses color LEDs.  As LEDs are getting brighter and smaller, pico-projectors can become more popular as stand-alone, used in car HUD and infotainment center console or embedded with other products like camcorders and mobile phones. In this seminar, you will get a good understanding of the architecture of a projector engine and the design rules of optimizing LED.

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery has the promise of the future of power and portability.  Li-ion has the best energy density of commercial power tool batteries, a very slow self-discharge rate up to six times longer than a NiCad, and superior energy to weight ratio.  Li-ion technology is drawing huge interest and investment.  As the quest for small, powerful, long-last, fast-recharging batteries heightens, Li-ion will be in the spotlight.

In 2013, we are one step closer to the greatest new revolution in technology mankind has ever experienced.  In this seminar, we have invited four industry veterans and distinguished speakers: Dr. Juchmann, product marketing manager of Velodyne LiDAR, co-presenters Dr. Andrew Lin, senior product marketing manager of OSRAM and Francis Nguyen, and Dr. Song Han, Senior Director of Technology of Amprius to share with us their extensive experience and visions in the trending technologies, like LiDAR, LED projection, and Li-ion battery.  We cordially invite aspiring professionals to join us at this very interesting technical seminar. Take the opportunity to learn more about the industry trend and its outlook, and mingle with other professionals and entrepreneurs.  Looking forward to seeing you at the seminar !

DESCRIPTION

You already know that China matters.

You already know that China offers tremendous business opportunities.
The challenge lies in gaining an understanding of China that can be translated into actions.
That’s what the HYSTA annual conference is all about.
With the theme “China’s Impact on the Global Economy”, the conference is designed to deliver an on-the-ground perspective of what’s really happening in China.
This year’s sessions will address areas ranging from China’s domestic economy to Silicon Valley companies who have succeeded in China to Chinese brands morphing into global players. Equally important, we’ve recruited some of the best minds in the world, tapping speakers from both China and Silicon Valley.
The conference’s value also come through the informal discussions that take place over the course the day. By bringing together a mix of executives, venture capitalists, academics, government officials, entrepreneurs and other ecosystem players, the opportunity is there to expand your China Rolodex.
In short, there’s no better way to come up the China learning curve than by spending one day at the HYSTA conference.

Networking & Mentoring Roundtables 

For the first time, HYSTA annual conference launches Mentoring & Networking Roundtables.

Roundtable I aims to provide a unique and personal mentoring experience to our selected mentees. In addition to listening to conference speeches, our mentees also have the opportunity to sit at the same table with our mentors.  Our mentors will share their personal stories and valuable career insights. They will also field questions from the mentees.  This is a rare opportunity to learn from the masters up close!

Roundtable II runs from 4pm to 4:50pm during HYSTA Annual Conference, which brings together human resource professionals, managers, university/college career services staff, and association representatives within the fast growing industry areas. It’s a great opportunity to discuss high interest issues regarding business partnership, recruitment and career development.
