US says it found health and safety violations at GM plant in Ohio_我的网站

一 |     DETROIT -- The U.S. Labor Department said Thursday that investigators found 19 safety and health violations at a General Motors joint venture electric vehicle battery plant in Ohio during a two-week period this year.The department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has proposed fining Ultium Cells LLC $270,091 for the alleged violations at a recently opened factory in Warren, Ohio. The plant, a joint venture between General Motors and LG Energy Solution, started making battery cells in 2021.The Labor Department said inspectors found that Ultium Cells didn't comply with federal safety standards for use of personal protective equipment including respirators. They also found that the company didn't install guards on machines or train workers in procedures to control hazardous energy, and it failed to provide eye wash stations, emergency showers and hand protection, among other violations.“Ultium Cells’ technology and advanced manufacturing facilities are part of a new and emerging field, but workplace safety standards — such as machine guarding, personal protective equipment and emergency response training — have been the law for decades,” OSHA Cleveland Area Director Howard Eberts said in the statement.The agency says Ultium Cells has 15 business days from the date it received the citations to comply, request an informal conference or contest the findings with an independent commission.Ultium Cells said in a statement Thursday that it requested a hearing with OSHA. “We look forward to a constructive dialogue with OSHA and hope to resolve these issues quickly and reinforce our commitment to fostering a safety-first mindset among all Ultium team members,” the company said.Authorities began investigating the plant after an explosion and fire in March. It did four inspections between April 24 and May 5, the statement said.。北京时间1月16日早些时候，路透社报道说，美国联邦巡回上诉法院周二在苹果和知识产权许可公司Virnetx的专利诉讼中维持了原判。

三 | 法院驳回了苹果公司对2016年陪审团裁决的上诉，陪审团裁决价值3.02亿美元，现已上升至4.4亿美元，包括利息、增加的损害赔偿金和其他费用。

四 | 同一专利诉讼已被行政法院裁定无效，但Virnetx正在上诉。苹果在一份声明中表示，对判决感到失望，并计划上诉。Virnetx没有立即回复置评请求。Virnetx总部位于内华达州的Zephyr Cove，由美国政府承包商Science Applications International Corporation的员工创建，拥有与安全网络和安全通信链接相关的专利。自2010年以来，Virnetx和苹果一直在为专利权诉讼而战，导致其股价大幅波动。
