PD CLAIMS THIS DEVELOPMENT BY ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR ((WU)) FAZHENG (STC 2976/3127/2973) IS A "MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH IN COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY". WITH WU'S GONCENTRATOR, 32 DIRECT-DIAL TELEPHONES CAN SHARE THREE COMMON TELEPHONE LINES, THUS SAVING 29 LINES. THE DEVICE CAN BE FURTHER EXPANDED SO THAT 128 DIRECT-DIAL PHONES CAN OPERATE ON TEN TELEPHONE LINES, OR 512 TELEPHONES ON 32 LINES. THE CONCENTRATOR PASSED TECHNICAL APPRAISAL TESTS IN BEIJING ON 18 NOV. THE MINISTRY OF PT HAS DIRECTED ITS CHANGCHUN TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT FACTORY TO PURCHASE PROFESSOR WU'S TECHNOLOGY AND PUT IT IN SERIAL PRODUCTION. D. SHENZHEN OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS DEVELOPMENT CO PRODUCES OPTICAL FIBERS (OPF) OF HIGHEST QUALITY (SHENZHEN SEZ DAILY, 23 NOV). THE GUANGDONG PROVINCE ECONOMIC COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OPF AND CABLES PRODUCED BY THE SHENZHEN CO FOR USE AS REPLACEMENTS FOR IMPORTED PRODUCTS. THE CO IS THE FIRST IN CHINA TO HAVE ACHIEVED SUCH RECOGNITION. SINCE EARLY 1991, THE CO HAS SOLD OVER 2,000 KM OF OPF CABLES TO DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL FIRMS LAYING CABLES IN CHINA.

THESE SPECIAL ARTIFICIAL LIMBS WERE DEVELOPED BY A RESEARCH TEAM AT THE RI HEADED BY PROFESSOR ((LUQ)) YONGZHAO (STC 5012/3057/2507). THE MOVEMENTS OF ARTIFICIAL HANDS, WRISTS, AND ELBOWS DEVELOPED BY THE RI ARE CONTROLLED BY BIOELECTRIC SIGNALS PRODUCED BY HUMAN MUSCLES. MOVEMENTS OF JOINTS CAN BE COORDINATED SO THAT THE ARTIFICIAL LIMB CAN PERFORM ROUTINE DAILY FUNCTIONS SUCH AS DRINKING WATER, EATING MEALS, ANSWERING THE TELEPHONE, AND SHAKING HANDS. C. WUHAN UNIVERSITY RESEARCHERS DEVELOP "E-ANTIGEN REAGENT" FOR DETECTING SERUM HEPATITIS (CD, 19 NOV). THE UNIVERSITY HAS NOW SET UP A CORP AND PRODUCTION FACILITIES WHICH WILL BE READY TO BEGIN PRODUCING THE REAGENT IN JUL 93. AT FULL CAPACITY, THE FACTORY WILL BE ABLE TO PRODUCE 1.25 MILLION BOXES OF THE REAGENT ANNUALLY. THE UNIVERSITY ESTIMATES THAT CHINA REQUIRES OVER 200 MILLION DIAGNOSTIC TESTS ANNUALLY, TO DEAL WITH 40 MILLION HEPATITIS PATIENTS AND 110 MILLION HEPATITIS VIRUS CARRIERS. D.
