你知道嗎？【聯發科為什麼叫MediaTek？】
#本日冷知識1548

大家好，我是Mr Holiday。

台灣因為有很強的電子零組件廠商以及世界一流的電子產品代工，所以在世界的科技產業佔有相當重要的地位。像是我們的「護國神山」台積電（TSMC；台股代號2330）就是在晶圓代工的技術上領先其他競爭者，所以在市場上有無法被取代的地位。

台灣除了晶圓代工之外，在IC設計上也是獨霸一方，而IC設計的龍頭廠商就包含聯發科（MediaTek；台股代號2454）。根據資料，2020年第二季全球應用處理器市佔率，聯發科是第二名，只落後美國大廠高通（Qualcomm；美股代號QCOM）。

等等，你剛剛不是說聯發科是做IC設計的，但是為什麼公司的英文名字是由「媒體」（Media）跟「科技」（Technology，縮寫為Tek）合起來的？

其實聯發科一開始是從聯華電子（UMC；台股代號2303）的多媒體部門分出來，主力是做CD-ROM（現在小朋友還知道這個東西嗎？）的晶片組，後來光碟機式微之後，把重心轉向通訊與面板控制晶片。在抓住了智慧型手機崛起的浪潮，加上研發技術的領先，讓聯發科成為世界上數一數二的IC設計公司。

總之，聯發科一開始是做多媒體的，可能是這樣，英文名字裡面才會有「多媒體」（Media），雖然現在主力不是在多媒體，但是名字還是維持當年的名字。

大家還知道那些中英文名字差很多的公司？
或是已經沒有再做一開始本業的公司呢？
歡迎在留言區與我們分享！

我們下次見！
[Mr Holiday]

麻煩大家幫忙
留下優秀的一家人

他們來自波多黎各
父母親都是名校約翰霍普金大學的電腦碩士
(Master Degree in Computer Science - Johns Hopkins University at Laurel, MD)
他們著五個孩子，到全世界學習
Diego 17歲 Paula 13 歲 Alonzo 12 歲
Felizi 8 歲 Matteo 6 歲

八月，他們到了台灣
發覺這是一個非常適合的生活環境
有好的醫療、中文學習環境、電腦產業、和超好吃的水果
九月，Diego , Paula, Alonzo進入惠文高中寄讀
他們來了之後，學校形成一個很棒的英語學習情境
台灣學生都被迫用英文跟他們互動

星期五與台北歌德學院簽訂德國「PASCH夥伴學校」時
他們三個和學校弦樂社一起合奏卡農(見影片)
非常非常有教養的一家人

然而他們11月就必須離開台灣
因為他們來台灣的第五天
得到美國總公司的通知
他們收掉波多黎各的公司
爸爸Tommy失業了
所以這幾天，他在台中接一個英文家教
但經濟仍是問題

如果台中的朋友可以提供11月4日前的短期英文、西班牙文家教工作
或是提供長期電腦工程師的工作
麻煩和Tommy聯絡
以下是他的聯絡方式及完整資歷
(願意幫他們申請工作簽證更好)
他們很願意把台灣當成第二個家

PS
覺得政府說要把英文變成第二語言
最棒的方式是吸引國外的學生進入我們的校園
在人才即國力的年代
讓優秀的國際人才留在台灣
如果在台灣就有很好的英語學習環境
我們就不用一窩蜂跑到國外

Systems & System Software Solutions
Web Developer / Web Master for the Department of Veterans Affairs in DC
 Mr. Irizarry developed a web based application for the State Home Per Diem Office, which manages millions of dollars in payments to the state homes, to replace an Access database. The Access database was converted to MS SQL Server database and all data was migrated successfully. He created a web based interface using the standard VA intranet look and feel. He also developed a custom interface for each of the 3 roles (CBO, VAMC and VISN). Tools were built for the administrator to view current reports, view missing reports lists, and configure many parameters in the application. The VAMC report form was heavily automated using jQuery to perform auto calculations, increasing data validation and saving time to the users. After the application was launched users commented frequently about how user friendly is the new interface and about the time savings. Tasks that will take 2 hours to be completed now take 15 minutes. We have close to 12,000 reports in the system.
 There were various requests to the IT office for a web based training registration system of different types. Mr. Irizarry developed a registration system which was later used for the following projects: Take your child to work day, New Telephone system training registration, Laptop Hard Drive encryption software upgrade among others.
 Developed an alternate cascading style sheet for SharePoint 2007, converting the out of the box look and feel to the Department of Veterans Affairs standard website look and feel.
 After one of the VA’s laptops was stolen Mr. Irizarry worked to develop a Risk Assessment web based application. He created an Excel template which management will upload to an FTP server with information and details about remote employee access and the sensibility of the data accessed by those users. He also created VB Scripts to validate those Excel files an upload that information into an MS SQL database. Reports for upper management in Central Office were then created which prompted management to enforce stronger security measures, like hard drives encryption. In total more than 500,000 records were processed for the reports.

TOKENEER is a test platform for the integration of smart cards, biometrics (fingerprint, hand, iris and facial recognition) and a public key infrastructure. Development was done on Windows NT workstations using Visual C++ and Visual SourceSafe for source control. Mr. Irizarry used an SDK to capture and match fingerprints against a database of fingerprints. He also created software to created some statistics of “False Accepts and False Reject Rates” of the fingerprint. He also worked with other team members to identify which fingerprints characteristics could affect those rates. He then added error detection functions to the fingerprint recognition software to identify corrupted files of fingerprint images

- 新系統：髮型、鬍子（配撘實時生長），染髮及剪髮+剪刀
- 高科技裝備第一階段：Tek藍圖系統、元素資源系統、Tek複製器、Tek步槍，Tek頭盔、Tek面罩、Tek噴氣背包、Tek靴子、Tek手套、Tek 霸王龍鞍
- 新生物：白綿羊
- 新生物：龍王鯨
- 新生物：重爪龍
- 新生物：獸頭獸
- 新物品: 槊(類似紅纓槍)
物種：龍王鯨
時間：晚新世
飲食：肉食
性情：被動型
捕捉：可
騎乘：可
特性：首隻可供騎乘者保溫的水中生物、獵殺後可取得特殊鯨脂精煉成優質汽油
野生：
龍王鯨是島周圍的水域中出現的一種陌生生物之一。牠是一個強大的泳手，非常之適應淺水區游泳，使其可以依靠靠近水面，來迅速恢復傷勢。相反，牠容易受到深水壓力影響，會慢慢造成傷害。
馴服：
儘管牠身邊的下級追隨者比較麻煩，許多部落仍然試圖馴服龍王鯨，因為牠的哺乳類動物溫血循環為騎手提供了恆溫作用。或者，龍王鯨被獵殺得也許太強烈，因為其特殊的鯨脂可以被精煉成一種更有效的汽油！
已知信息：
龍王鯨通常被其他掠食性動物密切跟踪，因為牠的飲食習慣會留下大量的碎屑給清道夫使用。對生存者來說，牠是一種溫馴的生物，並很高興地直接從牠們身旁拿取食物。然而，如果龍王鯨身旁食物被拿光的話，跟隨牠們的生物就會變得很危險。
外觀：
龍王鯨實際上不是一種爬行動物而是鯨魚的一種，儘管牠的英文名字叫"Basilosaurus"。牠有一個長蛇狀的身體，通過ARK的海洋波動，像民間傳說中的海蛇，牠的頭像一條鱷魚，充滿了鋒利的牙齒。龍王鯨與虎鯨和藍鯨有著相似的特徵，牠看起來大致是滄龍大小。
物種：重爪龍
時間：白堊紀早期
飲食：魚食
性情：對陸上生物為被動型、對水中生物為主動型
捕捉：可
騎乘：可
特性：首隻只主動攻擊水中生物，並可以靠吃優質魚肉回血的生物
野生：
與牛龍一樣，重爪龍在大型獵食者當中，屬於體型較小的一種恐龍。儘管不如一些深海獵食者或是棘龍那樣強大，但重爪龍游泳速度非常之快，其靈活性依然能夠威脅到島嶼上的大多數生物。
馴服：
重爪龍天生捕食海洋生物，這意味著一旦將其馴服，牠將能更有效率地獵殺海洋生物。在速度和力量上，重爪龍對於那些頻繁於海洋和大陸之間穿梭，並看重速度和敏捷多於力量的生存者來說是個理想的選擇。
已知信息：
儘管重爪龍是一種快速且危險的恐龍，但其幾乎只捕食魚類和水生生物。重爪龍高度特異性的新陳代謝貌似能讓牠在吃優質魚肉後，以超自然的速度癒合傷口。也許這也是重爪龍幾乎不攻擊陸地動物的原因？
外觀：
重爪龍跟典型中型食肉恐龍相似除了有鱷魚般的頭和更長的手臂與大爪之外，這些特徵令牠們特別適合捕獵魚類及其他水中生物。
物種：獸頭獸
時間：晚二疊紀
飲食：肉食
性情：有耐性（長期埋伏）
捕捉：可
騎乘：不可
特性：首種伏擊型生物、首種地底穴居生物
野生：
獸頭類完美地體現了驚喜的元素。雖然獸頭齒類如獸頭獸曾經被認為是草食生物，但我發現這個生物實際上是最聰明而有耐性的獵人。
馴服：
雖然獸頭獸不適合當作座騎之用，但牠用作伏擊或守衛村莊的用途是不能低估的。一群被馴服的獸頭獸，能以致命的爪和牙齒組成精確的地雷陷阱區。然而，利用獸頭獸進行伏擊必須提前計劃好，因為當感覺到附近有任何威脅，牠會拒絕埋伏。
已知信息：
在叢林地面下挖洞後，獸頭獸將會進入埋伏狀態，可以在沒有任何食物的情況下延長時間。當一些不幸的生物終於遊蕩而至時，獸頭獸會從洞內突然爆發撲出，在受害者可以做出反應之前，用牠的獠牙刺穿牠的獵物。
外觀
類似於一隻巨大的黃鼠狼，獸頭類實際上是一種類似哺乳類的爬行生物，被稱為獸頭亞目。雖然牠的化石定位成草食性的，方舟內的獸頭獸是一種邪惡的伏擊性食肉動物。牠那長長的前爪適用於挖掘用來進行突擊的洞穴，而牠的軍刀狀犬齒對牠所喜歡的獵物-小至中等大小的陸上食草動物，如渡渡鳥，水龍獸和人類，而言是死神。
