Nvidia CEO downplays role in lifting US ban on chip sales to China
BEIJING (AP) — The head of Nvidia downplayed his role in getting the U.S. government to lift a ban on selling an advanced computer chip in China and said it will take time to ramp up production once orders for the AI-processor come in. CEO Jensen Huang, speaking Wednesday in the Chinese capital Beijing, was upbeat about the prospects for the H20 chip, which was designed to meet U.S. restrictions on technology exports to China but nonetheless blocked in April. He met U.S. President Donald Trump before his trip and his company announced this week it had received assurances that sales to China would be approved. 'I don't think I changed his mind,' Huang told a cluster of journalists, many of whom asked for his autograph or to take selfies with him. A carefully organized press conference at a luxury hotel descended into a crowd scene when Huang arrived in his trademark leather jacket and started taking questions randomly in his characteristic casual style. Export controls and tariffs were something companies must adapt to in a world he said was reconfiguring itself. He described his role as informing governments in the U.S. and elsewhere of the nature and unintended consequences of their policies. The decision to lift the ban on the H20 chip was entirely in the hands of the American and Chinese governments and whatever trade talks they had, he said. 'We can only influence them, inform them, do our best to provide them with facts,' Huang said. 'And then beyond that is out of our control.' Nvidia said in April that sales restrictions on its chip in China on national security grounds would cost the company $5.5 billion. The White House also blocked a chip from Advanced Micro Devices. Both companies say the Commerce Department is now moving forward with license applications to export them to China. Huang said his company would likely be able to recover some of its losses but it's unclear how much. That will depend on how many H20 orders are received and how quickly Nvidia can meet the demand. 'I think that H20 is going to be very successful here,' he said, noting the chip's memory bandwidth makes it a good fit for the AI models being developed by Chinese companies such as DeepSeek and Alibaba. Huang also touted the release of a new RTX Pro graphics chip that he said would power the development of humanoid robots. He described robotic systems with teams of robots working alongside people as the next wave in AI. 'Because there's so much robotics innovation going on and so much smart factory work being done here and the supply chain is so vast, RTX Pro is perfect,' he said.

Full Circle Lithium's Fire Extinguishing Agent FCL-X™ Achieves UL Class A Fire Recognition - Unlocking Major U.S. and Global Market Opportunities
USA-based Underwriters Laboratories Solutions (UL) is a globally trusted leading authority in safety certification After passing all required UL testing and with UL Class A Fire Recognition in hand, FCL expects to open new end-user markets in the USA as well as internationally, including industrial, commercial, retail, military, and government transportation agencies This significant milestone is in addition to all the breakthrough achievements FCL-X™ has demonstrated in extinguishing lithium-ion battery fires efficiently, effectively, and safely TORONTO, July 16, 2025 /CNW/ - Full Circle Lithium Corp. ("FCL" or the "Company") (TSXV: FCLI) (OTCQB: FCLIF), a USA-based manufacturer of lithium-ion battery specialty firefighting agent, FCL-X™, is pleased to announce that its revolutionary fire extinguishing agent, FCL-X™, has received Class A Fire Water-Based Agent Fire Extinguishers Component Recognition for both USA and Canada ("Class A Fire Recognition") from Underwriters Laboratories Solutions ("UL"), a globally trusted authority in safety certification. This milestone not only validates the product's quality, safety, and effectiveness in extinguishing Class A fires but also opens the door to significant new market opportunities across multiple high-growth sectors. FCL-X™ is already widely recognized for its breakthrough performance in extinguishing lithium-ion battery fires—a rapidly growing safety concern in everything from consumer electronics to electric vehicles and energy storage. The new UL Class A Fire Recognition now enables broader adoption of FCL-X™ in environments where traditional combustibles like wood, paper, textiles, and plastics are common. Positioned for Accelerated Growth "This certification is a major inflection point for FCL," said Carlos Vicens, CEO, Founder, and Director of Full Circle Lithium. "With the UL Class A Fire Recognition now in place, we are poised to expand our reach into new verticals—particularly industrial, commercial, retail, military, and government transportation agencies—that require certified, scalable fire suppression solutions. We believe this opens the door to accelerated revenue growth and a broader commercial footprint in the U.S. and globally." The UL certification process involved comprehensive testing of representative samples of FCL-X™, all of which met the stringent safety and performance criteria set by the organization. This recognition confirms the product's reliability for widespread use in professional fire safety environments. Looking ahead, FCL is preparing to pursue further regulatory and industry certifications, including those specific to lithium-ion battery fire suppression, positioning the Company as a category leader in next-generation firefighting solutions. Technical Description of FCL-X™ FCL-X™ is an aqueous solution, primarily water, enhanced with crucial proprietary active ingredients, making it uniquely effective for both Class A Fires, as demonstrated by the UL recognition mentioned above, and, particularly, lithium-ion battery fires. Its high-water content allows for superior penetration of the lithium-ion battery compared to non-water-based agents. Unlike foam and vermiculite, which act as temporary barriers on the surface of the ongoing chemical reaction, FCL-X™ penetrates and halts the reaction at the cell level. Critically, any lithium-ion battery on fire and experiencing thermal runaway will have an open vent. This vent is essential, as it allows FCL-X™ to be introduced directly to the source of the fire, stopping or minimizing the chemical reaction and managing the emitted off-gas by: Neutralizing Battery Charge / Thermal Absorption: In a battery already in thermal runaway, FCL-X™ neutralizes the charge and immediately reduces thermal output by 20%. Neither water alone nor other agents achieve this. Mitigation of HF: Beyond the fire itself, the release of gaseous hydrogen fluoride (HF) poses a significant threat in lithium-ion battery ("LIB") fires. HF forms when lithiated hexafluorophosphate, a common electrolyte in LIBs, decomposes at high temperatures and reacts with water. This highly corrosive gas is potentially lethal upon inhalation. FCL-X™ effectively mitigates most or all HF by reacting with it to form a non-hazardous salt. Again, this is a capability unique to FCL-X™ compared to water or other agents. Prevention of Hydrogen Explosion: LIB anodes typically consist of lithiated graphite. Under extreme heat, lithium separates from the graphite and reacts with water, often exacerbating the fire and creating dangerously high levels of explosive hydrogen gas. FCL-X™ counteracts this. Its initial thermal absorption reduces heat, and the active ingredients form a protective layer on the lithiated graphite. The continued application of the FCL-X™ solution then smothers any remaining hydrogen gas production. This multi-faceted approach is not offered by water or other extinguishing agents. Dilution of Internal LIB Solution: The most critical aspect of extinguishing a LIB fire is diluting the burning solutions within the battery. This requires penetrating the cell, cooling the internal solution, and diluting it. FCL-X™'s enhanced cooling and the active ingredients' ability to remain effective under heat allow it to penetrate the cell more effectively before evaporation, thus facilitating this crucial dilution process. This level of internal action is not provided by water or other agents. FCL-X™ is PFAS-free ("Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances" or better known as "forever chemicals"). In third-party testing, the total fluorine concentration was below 1 part per million ("PPM"). Typically, a 100 μg/g PPM total fluorine level is an indication of intentionally added PFAS. FCL-X has also demonstrated extremely low toxicity to animals and humans in third-party laboratory testing. These factors underscore the FCL-X™ safety profile. It is important to note that UL has not provided nor given any guidance for lithium-ion battery fires for any company worldwide, including FCL. The Class A Fire Recognition is strictly geared towards Class A fires. About UL UL is a premier global independent safety science company that has championed progress for more than 120 years. Its more than 11,000 professionals are guided by the UL mission to promote safe working and living environments for all people.
