Agricultural machinery is the key fi eld in modern scientifi c and technological innovation. In recent years, China has made great achievements in the development of high-performance intelligent agricultural machinery with cutting-edge technology, which promotes the effi cient use of agricultural resources and environment-friendly development, and supports 70 percent of China’s agricultural mechanization production. This paper mainly focus on the innovation and progress in the fi eld of intelligent agricultural equipment technology in China from the aspects of information perception and precision production monitoring technology, intelligent operation management technologies, power machinery, farmland operation machinery, intelligent harvesting technology, production technology and agricultural products processing equipment. the paper also summarizes that, in the future, green, intelligence and universality will become the main characteristics of the development of intelligent agricultural machinery technology, and cross integration, extension and expansion will become the main direction of technological innovation. At last by referring to the application basis and cutting-edge technology of China’s intelligent agricultural machinery industry, the innovation and development goals and research direction of future intelligent agricultural equipment, the scientifi c and technological innovation and industrial development trend in the fi eld of agricultural mechanization and intelligent application integration, this paper puts forward some suggestions on the research direction of future intelligent agricultural equipment.

Innovation Leadership

This chapter delineates Huawei’s path to its cutting-edge technology and innovation leadership by examining its specific R&D strategies in different domains, including its core strength in switching technology, its contradictory role in developing China’s indigenous telecom standards, the catch-up strategy in semiconductor technology, and its patents and intellectual property strategies. It highlights the paradoxical dynamics between the techno-nationalist initiative and the logic of capitalist accumulation underlying Huawei’s technological innovation. Huawei’s increasing power in international markets and the arena of technological governance suggests that Chinese technological firms have played an increasingly important role in influencing and even defining global technology.

Media And Technology

This chapter attempts to give an outline of some of the contemporary ethical issues related to technological innovation associated with e-business, in particular the notion that e-business and ethics is an oxymoron (‘a figure of speech … seeming self-contradiction’). The question is, has innovation in e-business resulted in unethical behaviour because of the new media and technology and the fact that businesses are embarking on something new therefore the old rules do not apply? Is it easier to behave unethically over the net? The author reviews the various methods used for dealing with on-line security and investigates the notion of trust which is implied in on-line transactions and business dealings. Also typical e-business ethical dilemmas are proffered as a catalyst for further debate. The author concludes that as e-businesses deal with intangible products and services over the Internet, the potential for ethical dilemmas and shonky practices to develop is far higher than a bricks-and-mortar business. The challenge is for e-businesses to establish trust based on consistent good ethical practice and an industry approach to abusers of the system. Ethics and innovation are not mutually exclusive and will continue to challenge e-businesses.

Geometrical Constraints

The output of the ultramicrotomy process with its high strain levels is dependent upon the input, ie., the nature of the material being machined. Apart from the geometrical constraints offered by the rake and clearance faces of the tool, each material is free to deform in whatever manner necessary to satisfy its material structure and interatomic constraints. Noncrystalline materials appear to survive the process undamaged when observed in the TEM. As has been demonstrated however microtomed plastics do in fact suffer damage to the top and bottom surfaces of the section regardless of the sharpness of the cutting edge or the tool material. The energy required to seperate the section from the block is not easily propogated through the section because the material is amorphous in nature and has no preferred crystalline planes upon which defects can move large distances to relieve the applied stress. Thus, the cutting stresses are supported elastically in the internal or bulk and plastically in the surfaces. The elastic strain can be recovered while the plastic strain is not reversible and will remain in the section after cutting is complete.
