Asus fends off bid to ban US laptop imports in Lenovo patent dispute
Lenovo has accused Asus' computers of infringing patents related to wireless communications, diagonal touchpad scrolling and other technology. PHOTO: UNSPLASH Asus fends off bid to ban US laptop imports in Lenovo patent dispute WASHINGTON - Taiwanese electronics maker Asus on June 20 defeated rival Lenovo's bid to block American imports of Asus' Zenbook laptops and other computers as part of a patent dispute between the two companies. The ruling by the US International Trade Commission was a defeat for Hong Kong-based Lenovo in a patent fight with Asus that extends to California federal court and Europe's Unified Patent Court. Lenovo has accused Asus' computers of infringing patents related to wireless communications, diagonal touchpad scrolling and other technology. The commission's order on June 20, which upheld an ITC judge's preliminary decision from February, can be appealed to the Washington-based US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Spokespeople for Lenovo and Asus did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the decision. Lenovo, the world's largest PC maker, sued Asus in San Jose, California, and at the ITC in 2023, alleging that technology in Asus' Zenbook Pro and Zenbook Flip 14 laptops infringed a variety of its patents. Lenovo asked the California court for an unspecified amount of monetary damages, including lost profits and royalties, and an order permanently blocking the alleged infringement. The California lawsuit was paused during the ITC proceedings. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Nvidia and Foxconn Plan to Deploy Humanoid Robots in New Houston AI Server Factory
Taiwan's Foxconn ( and U.S. artificial intelligence chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA.O) are in discussions to deploy humanoid robots at a new Foxconn facility in Houston, which will manufacture Nvidia's AI servers, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the matter. This would mark the first time Nvidia products will be produced with the help of humanoid robots, and also Foxconn's first AI server factory to integrate them on a production line, the sources said. A deployment, which is expected to be finalized in the coming months, would signal a breakthrough in adopting human-like robots, potentially reshaping modern manufacturing practices. Foxconn, collaborating with Nvidia, is developing its own humanoid robots. It has also conducted trials using robots made by China's UBTech ( though it remains unclear which model will be used in Houston, how many units will be involved, or what their exact appearance will be. According to the sources, the goal is to introduce humanoid robots by the first quarter of next year, coinciding with the start of Nvidia's GB300 AI server production at the new Houston site. Although their precise tasks haven't been disclosed, a Foxconn presentation from May revealed that the robots are being trained to perform functions like picking and placing objects, inserting cables, and carrying out various assembly tasks. One source noted that the Houston factory is particularly suitable for humanoid robot deployment, as it is newly built and offers more space compared to other AI server manufacturing locations. Both Nvidia and Foxconn declined to comment on the matter. The sources requested anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly. Leo Guo, general manager of the robotics business unit at Foxconn Industrial Internet ( a subsidiary handling the group's AI server operations, said at an industry event in Taipei last month that Foxconn plans to unveil two humanoid robot prototypes in November at its annual technology show. One version will walk on legs, while the other will utilize a wheeled autonomous mobile robot (AMR) base—an option expected to be more cost-effective, he said, without offering additional specifications. In April, Nvidia announced plans to build AI supercomputer manufacturing hubs in Texas, partnering with Foxconn in Houston and Wistron ( in Dallas. Both are expected to ramp up production over the next 12 to 15 months. For Nvidia, this marks a deeper commitment to humanoid robotics, a field where it already provides platforms to robot developers. CEO Jensen Huang predicted in March that humanoid robots will be widely used in factories within five years. Automakers like Mercedes-Benz ( BMW ( and Tesla (TSLA.O) have also tested humanoids. China too is investing heavily, seeing robots as key to future factory labor. (With inputs from agencies)

Nvidia-backed AI startup SandboxAQ creates new data to speed up drug discovery
SAN FRANCISCO :SandboxAQ, an artificial intelligence startup spun out of Alphabet's Google and backed by Nvidia, on Wednesday released a trove of data it hopes will speed up the discovery of new medical treatments by helping scientists understand how drugs stick to proteins. The goal is to help scientists predict whether a drug will bind to its target in the human body. But while the data is backed up by real-world scientific experiments, it did not come from a lab. Instead, SandboxAQ, which has raised nearly $1 billion in venture capital, generated the data using Nvidia's chips and will feed it back into AI models that it hopes scientists can use to rapidly predict whether a small-molecule pharmaceutical will bind to the protein that researchers are targeting, a key question that must be answered before a drug candidate can move forward. For example, if a drug is meant to inhibit a biological process like the progression of a disease, scientists can use the tool to predict whether the drug molecule is likely to bind to the proteins involved in that process. The approach is an emerging field that combines traditional scientific computing techniques with advancements in AI. In many fields, scientists have long had equations that can precisely predict how atoms combine into molecules. But even for relatively small three-dimensional pharmaceutical molecules, the potential combinations become far too vast to calculate manually, even with today's fastest computers. So SandboxAQ's approach was to use existing experimental data to calculate about 5.2 million new, "synthetic" three-dimensional molecules - molecules that haven't been observed in the real world, but were calculated with equations based on real-world data. That synthetic data, which SandboxAQ is releasing publicly, can be used to train AI models that can predict whether a new drug molecule is likely to stick to the protein researchers are targeting in a fraction of the time it would take to calculate it manually, while retaining accuracy. SandboxAQ will charge money for its own AI models developed with the data, which it hopes will get results that rival running lab experiments, but virtually. "This is a long-standing problem in biology that we've all, as an industry, been trying to solve for," Nadia Harhen, general manager of AI simulation at SandboxAQ, told Reuters on Tuesday. "All of these computationally generated structures are tagged to a ground-truth experimental data, and so when you pick this data set and you train models, you can actually use the synthetic data in a way that's never been done before."
