Toyota - robots to help the aging population
Reuters
Japan's population is aging faster
than any other country
In 2015, 26% of its population
was aged 65-yrs or more
This has led to :
- an increased demand for
care services for the elderly people
but very few able-bodied adults
available to look after them
- a dwindling demand for cars
as older drivers stop buying cars
To keep their elderly people on the move,
- Japanese carmakers are shifting focus
to robots & handicap assistants
F.e. Toyota has invested $1B for
a robotics center & AI research

Medtronic recall - StrataMR valves & shunts
Reuters
Cerebrospinal fluid ( CSF ) acts as
a cushion for the brain
When excess CSF accumulates in the skull,
the condition is called hydrocephalus
This increases pressure inside the skull
It can cause :
- headaches - sleepiness - nausea
- vomiting - mental illness - coma
Adjustable valves & shunts implants
can manage hydrocephalus
StrataMR adjustable valves & shunts
is one such device from Medtronic
But the devices manufactured
from Oct. 2015 to Nov. 2016
are causing under-drainage of CSF
Hence, Medtronic is recalling these devices

Berkshire cuts stake below 10% in Wells Fargo
Bloomberg
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is among
Wells Fargo’s major shareholders
- Its stake climbed to 10% in 2016
In 2016, it applied to the Fed Reserve
to further expand its stake in the bank
But U.S. rules have long curtailed
the influence of outsiders on banks
As per a Fed rule, a stake above 10%
could subject Berkshire to
being declared a bank holding company
- This would bring increased regulation
To comply with Fed,
Berkshire is cutting its stake below 10%
- It has sold 7.13 mn shares of Wells Fargo
- It plans to divest an extra 1.87 mn
in the near future
Berkshire Cuts Wells Fargo Stake
to Get Below Fed's Limit
