Hongxin. Wuhan Hongxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (Hongxin or HSMC) (Chinese 弘芯）, a multi-billion chip project backed by the Wuhan government, China, folded in March 2021 when it dismissed all its employees, three years after it opened in 2017. It was viewed as the latest setback to China's semiconductor industry at the time.

History
Hongxi was founded in late 2017 with a projected capitalization of 128 billion yuan ($18.5 billion) to make logic chips using 14 nanometer and 7 nanometer technology and smaller as part of the broader expansion in China's semiconductor industry, driven by China's pursuit of self-sufficiency in critical technology areas due to tensions with the United States.

In November 2019, a local court suspended Hongxin's right to use the land for manufacturing facilities due to a dispute with one of the engineering companies participating in the project.

In late July 2020, a local government report showed Hongxi was facing a major funding shortfall, putting it at risk of coming to a standstill at any moment. The shortfall was 112.3 billion yuan of the originally planned 128 billion yuan. Hongxin's failure to complete land acquisitions, environmental impact reports and other steps prevented it from being qualified for national government support.

As of November 2020, Hongxi was under the full control of the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission for the Dongxihu district government in Wuhan.

Hongxin was one of six multibillion-dollar chip projects to fail between 2019 and 2021, including Tacoma Semiconductor Technology Co. Ltd. and Dehuai Semiconductor Technology Co. Ltd, which declared bankruptcy.

Overhaul hook ball. An overhaul hook ball, also known as an overhaul ball or headache ball, is a heavy weight that is attached to the end of a crane's cable, above the lifting hook. It is used to keep the cable under sufficient tension even when no load is attached. Although commonly spherical as the name suggests, overhaul balls may also be ellipsoidal or cylindrical.

Overhaul balls should be distinguished from wrecking balls, which although superficially similar looking, are different and serve a different purpose.

Rouvy. ROUVY is an indoor cycling app that uses 2D outdoor video footage of cycling routes, including load and height profiles, with artificially created augmentations. This creates a 3D virtual environment, which is then viewed on a screen while the rider is sitting on their indoor training bike. Riders can use a "smart trainer" to replicate a real life ride as resistance in the bike is increased or decreased to simulate the actual gradient encountered on the augmented route.

The app allows riders to participate in various a variety of cycling activities for riders such as hill climbing, time trials, races, group rides, structured training plans and interval training. The app also provides detailed performance data and analytics, allowing riders to track their progress over time.

History 
The idea for the app was developed by brothers Petr and Jiří Samek.

In 2020, ROUVY became the virtual partner of La Vuelta and launched La Vuelta Virtual, an annual online event.

In August 2021, the company VirtualTraining behind the Rouvy brand was bought by the investment group Pale Fire Capital.

ROUVY is also a virtual partner of triathlon organizations P.T.O. and Challenge Roth.

In 2024, the company launched its Route Creator, which allows users to upload user-generated GPS-enabled footage of routes. The app then processes the footage to create a 3D rideable course, using real-life video footage where available, allowing riders to explore new routes and places virtually.
