4.【雅森科技】預測診斷阿爾茨海默癥，雅森科技都踏過了哪些荊棘？
創立于2006年的雅森科技，是一家致力于通過腦影像和核醫學設備做病情智能分析的企業。核醫學影像主要是用于癲癇、帕金森氏癥、嗜睡等腦部疾病的診斷和分析。阿爾茨海默癥也是腦部疾病之一，因此雅森科技涉足阿爾茨海默癥診斷是很順理成章的事情。阿爾茨海默癥在患病早期是可以干預的，但檢測卻相對困難。雅森科技研發總監表示，診斷阿爾茨海默癥的主要難點在于影像看不清，早期癥狀難以把握，靠單一的影像和病理不容易做到長期預測。

5.【Cepton】光電行業老兵創辦Cepton，一年推出2款激光雷達，最遠檢測300米
外界最早知道激光雷達公司Cepton，或許源自今年3月 Theinformation 上的一篇文章。文章對Cepton 的描述雖是一筆帶過，但卻十分有信息量：Cepton 擁有多名來自 Velodyne 的工程師，頗為神秘。據可靠消息，Cepton 的激光雷達已經正式出貨。這家成立于 2016 年的激光雷達公司，由4位來自斯坦福大學背景，并有豐富經驗的半導體行業老兵創立。目前團隊規模 30 人左右，但還在快速成長。據了解，Cepton 目前主要供貨給美國硅谷、亞洲（日本、新加坡）和德國客戶。今年5月，在英偉達GPU技術大會上，Cepton還推出了遠程廣角激光雷達。
