The complaint was filed with the International Trade Commission (ITC) on Tuesday. The ITC is a government regulatory body, which acts independently of the courts. Apple seems to be gearing up for a preliminaryinjunctionrequest in its legal case against Samsung in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, but it hasnt sought any action from the ITC, unlike in previous cases against competing smartphone manufacturers such as HTC .

Tesla declined to comment to CNBC. Tencent did not respond to emailed requests for comment. A Tencent spokesperson  told The Wall Street Journal  that "Tesla is a global pioneer at the forefront of new te...

Artificial blood made from stem cells could be used in transfusions in just two years

Image
Add to My Stories Share Artificial blood created from stem cells could be tested on Britons within two years. The scientists behind the research, which could provide industrial scale quantities of blood, believe it will transform transfusions by preventing hospital shortages, and save thousands of lives on battlefields and at the scene of car crashes. Heart transplant, bypass and cancer patients would also benefit from having a guaranteed supply of blood on hand for their surgery. Breakthrough: The blood made from stem cells would transform blood transfusions by preventing shortages in hospitals and prove a lifesaver on battlefields and at the scene of car crashes The holy grail of blood research, the man-made blood would be free of infections that have blighted natural supplies and could be given to almost everyone regardless of blood group. The hope comes from Edinburgh and Bristol university researchers who have, for the first time, made thousands of millions of red blood c...
