TOYOTA GAZOO Racing continues championship chase

Toyota City, Japan, Oct 11, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team will continue its chase for the 2024 FIA World Rally Championship on challenging roads across Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria when the Central European Rally takes place on October 17-20.2024 GR YARIS Rally1 HYBRIDBy achieving a magnificent maximum score on the previous round in Chile, TGR-WRT more than halved the gap to the manufacturers’ championship lead from 35 to 17 points with two rounds remaining. Both of the final events are made up of demanding asphalt roads – as the WRC returns to the surface for the first time since the Croatia Rally in April – with the second edition of the cross-border Central European Rally to be followed by the season finale at Rally Japan in November.Sébastien Ogier and Elfyn Evans both remain in mathematical contention for the drivers’ championship and are joined in the team’s line-up for the Central European Rally by the returning Takamoto Katsuta. Following impressive first drives in the GR YARIS Rally1 HYBRID on the gravel stages of Finland and Chile, rising star Sami Pajari once more lines up in an additional fourth entry for his first experience on asphalt at the highest level.The Central European Rally made its WRC debut one year ago, becoming the first round to ever feature stages driven in three different countries. The character of the stages varies from one region to another and the weather – in the middle of the European autumn – can also be changeable, making the roads more slippery with rain, mud and leaves.As in 2023, the rally begins from the Czech capital city, Prague. This year, shakedown will also be held on the edge of the city on Thursday morning before the ceremonial start in the capital’s famous castle district. The opening super special stage follows at the Velká Chuchle horse racing course, before a longer stage in the evening near the town of Klatovy. The same test is run twice more on Friday together with two other stages on Czech roads – which are especially bumpy and narrow yet fast in nature. There are opportunities for remote service to begin the morning and mid-afternoon, before cars return to the service park in Karpfham, to the south-west of the German city of Passau, at the end of the day.Saturday is the longest day of the rally with 123.46 competitive kilometres to be driven across two loops of three stages spanning Germany and Austria. The middle stage of the loop, Beyond Borders, begins in Germany and ends in Austria. Sunday’s finale features a pair of stages run twice on German roads before the final podium in Passau.The GR Yaris Rally2 car will be seen in WRC2 action in the hands of the top-seeded Czech driver, Filip Mareš, entered and run by ACCR Toyota Dolák.For more information, visit https://toyotagazooracing.com/wrc/release/2024/rd12-preview/.

Oita University and Hitachi High-Tech Give a Joint Presentation on the Use of AI Technology to Extend the Lifespan of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells JCN Newswire

Oita University and Hitachi High-Tech Give a Joint Presentation on the Use of AI Technology to Extend the Lifespan of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells

TOKYO, Oct 11, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - National University Corporation OITA UNIVERSITY ("Oita University") and Hitachi High-Tech Corporation ("Hitachi High-Tech") today announced that we have started conducting research ("this research") into predicting and extendingthe life of electrocatalysts used in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC), utilizing Hitachi High-Tech’s technology that uses AI to perform image analysis. We will be giving a joint presentation on the contents of this research at The Chemical Society of Japan Autumn Event 14th CSJ Chemistry Festa 2024, which will be held at Tower Hall, Funabori (Tokyo) from October 22 to 25, 2024.Kinumoto Laboratory at the Faculty of Science and Technology of Oita University is involved in research initiatives using the Identical Location Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscope (IL-FE-SEM)*1 of Oita university's proprietary technology to figure out the degradation mechanism of PEFC electrocatalysts and develop robust PEFC.This research is part of the Green Technologies for Excellence (GteX)*2 project of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST).Hitachi High-Tech develops, manufactures, and sells electron microscopes, so has a wealth of expertise in the analysis of observation images, also solves problems faced by customers using informatics technologies, Materials Informatics (MI) and Process Informatics (PI)*3. Hitachi High-Tech has drawn on these strengths and combined them with AI and SEM image analysis technologies to provide support for Oita University’s PEFC research and development.Including with this research, Oita University and Hitachi High-Tech aim to continue working to accelerate efforts to develop longer-lasting PEFC going forward and contribute to solving social issues such as by achieving carbon neutrality and a decarbonized society.BackgroundPEFC are a type of fuel cell that use polymer materials as the electrolyte*4 to generate electricity (energy) by causing chemical reactions between hydrogen and oxygen at two electrodes. Fuel cells of all kinds are increasingly used as a form of sustainable energy that can reduce CO2 emissions and, among those, PEFC are also used in everyday applications such as vehicle and household power sources. As the achievement of carbon neutrality becomes recognized as a key issue facing society, it is predicted that PEFC will become increasingly necessary. To that end, however, PEFC in their current state need to be higher durability, with higher output, and lower in cost. This research aims to shed light on the mechanism behind the degradation of electrocatalysts, which is the utmost important issue in prolonging PEFC life, by using AI technology to analyze FE-SEM observation images and make more efficient analysis based on quantitative data possible.Overview of this ResearchThis research used Oita University's IL-FE-SEM technology and Hitachi High-Tech's AI- powered image analysistechnology to study electrocatalyst durability and surface degradation through accelerated degradation tests in which a pulse voltage is repeatedly applied to the PEFC electrocatalysts.*5In order to figure out the deterioration mechanism, in which there is a reduction in the electrochemical surface area (ECSA)*6 of the electrocatalytic platinum particles, Oita University is using IL-FE-SEM technology to visually inspectand analyze the platinum particles in observation images. However, although it is possible to use IL-FE-SEM technology to acquire a large volume of observation images, this has its problems in that there is a tremendous workload involved in analyzing all of the observation images due to there being hundreds of platinum particles present in each individual image. To resolve this problem, Hitachi High-Tech provided AI-driven image analysis technology to streamline the task of image analysis. Specifically, AI image analysis was used to detect*7 platinum particles present in each test. After the particles were detected in the images that had been taken, changes in the status of the particles (their disappearance, aggregation, or formation) could be tracked and the particle count automatically determined.Going forward, the researchers will continue to work to improve particle detection accuracy and make advancements in figuring out the degradation mechanism of more efficient PEFC, as both Oita University and Hitachi High Tech will push ahead and continue to work together to develop long-lasting PEFC. They will also contribute to the cultivation ofdata scientists with a grounding in chemistry by working together with the students of Oita University on pushing this analysis forward.This research is being performed through technical collaboration with Hitachi Co., Ltd.

莫斯科:烏克蘭不應指望歐洲在沒有美國的情況下提供援助 News

莫斯科:烏克蘭不應指望歐洲在沒有美國的情況下提供援助

(SeaPRwire) - 俄羅斯外交官羅迪翁·米羅什尼克表示,弗拉基米爾·澤連斯基對喬·拜登取消基輔支持者關鍵會議的決定「顯然感到不安」。 俄羅斯高級外交官羅迪翁·米羅什尼克聲稱,烏克蘭領導人弗拉基米爾·澤連斯基對歐洲各國首都的訪問毫無意義,因為這些國家沒有打算在沒有美國的情況下向基輔提供援助。 本週早些時候,美國總統喬·拜登宣佈,他將缺席週六在德國拉姆施泰因空軍基地舉行的西方武器捐助國和烏克蘭官員的計劃會議,以便監督對國內米爾頓颶風的應對。在拜登做出決定後,這次集會被完全推遲,沒有關於新日期的公告。 米羅什尼克被俄羅斯外交部委託收集關於烏克蘭戰爭罪行的證據,他暗示這次會議被取消是因為「拜登和歐洲領導人未能就向基輔政權供應武器的份額和機制達成一致。」 「拜登沒有找到比留在[美國]並保護國家免受颶風侵襲更好的方法。[美國國務卿安東尼]布林肯也認為,沒有他,美國海岸無法抵禦颶風。」這位外交官週五在 Telegram 上發文寫道。 更多細節將會公布本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

看聯控(3396.HK)如何聚焦新質生產力 把握新興前沿機遇

香港, 2024年10月11日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 據香港財華社報道,近一年來,全球人工智能依舊保持蓬勃發展態勢,各國政府紛紛出台政策,積極推動人工智能技術的研發和應用,並加強相關領域的治理。其中,大模型技術成為熱點,多家企業和研究機構都推出了具有影響力的「代表作」,如OpenAI研發的ChatGPT、Google Research團隊的Gemini,以及國內科大訊飛推出的星火大模型、智譜AI開發的千億參數對話模型智譜清言等等。中國人工智能行業同樣正處於穩中向好的發展進程中,核心產業規模穩步增長,國務院總理李強在北京調研時指出,人工智能是發展新質生產力的重要引擎,強調了AI的重要位置。目前,中國的人工智能相關企業數量已居世界第二,軟件開發貢獻僅次於美國。無論從全球視角,還是對中國而言,人工智能的發展似乎已在逐步邁入新的時代,亦將引領新質生產力的發展。這不禁令筆者聯想到當年互聯網時代經歷的爆發式增長,網絡媒體、社交、遊戲,以及電商在短短二十年間幾乎改變了整個社會的發展與交互模式,其中百度、阿里、騰訊和京東等一眾企業在這一時期迅速崛起,成為了支撐中國新興經濟發展的核心產業。二十年後,引領變革的浪潮再次因人工智能的崛起而闖入大眾視野,在這場事關生存發展的競爭之中,不同企業面臨著不同挑戰。以全球最大計算基礎設施供應商之一的戴爾為例,其在今年發佈了AI電腦新品,又與英偉達達成戰略合作,然而AI服務器的利潤率卻反而對公司造成了困擾。此外,戴爾PC業務的復蘇速度也並未達到預期。那麼其他企業又是如何在變革浪潮的挑戰中,緊抓時代機遇的?人工智能的下半場,將是從技術突破進入到落地應用的階段,需要在實際應用中積累用戶反饋,不斷完善,繼續創新。混合式人工智能 是AI落地的必然路徑當下,AIPC已迅速成為跨國科技公司的必爭之地,根據IDC發佈的2024年第二季度全球PC市場調查報告,在歷經連續7個季度的下跌後,全球消費市場因AIPC概念的出現而終於回暖,連續兩個季度實現增長。聯控旗下聯想集團(992.HK)作為另一家IT行業巨頭,於2024年上半年率先定義並推出了多款具備5大特性的AIPC,同時陸續推出了多款支持所有主流體系架構的AI服務器和AI解決方案與服務。根據IDC提供的最新數據,24年第二季度,聯想集團PC出貨量同比增長3.7%,增幅跑贏市場,並以22.7%的市場份額繼續保持全球第一。同時,按照Canalys的最新統計,聯想AIPC出貨量環比增長228%。公司在AIPC領域的領跑優勢和在PC市場的強勢地位也正向反饋到了業績之中,8月15日,聯想集團發佈2025財年一季度業績,營收同比增長20%,歸母淨利潤同比增長38%。此外,在2024聯想創新科技大會上,其更一次性發佈了六款AIPC新品,並以持續的創新與科研投入,進一步鞏固了全球PC市場的領先地位,把握住了混合式人工智能崛起的機遇。此外,作為發展新質生產力的重要引擎,人工智能的動能與優勢還在於賦能千行百業,幫助傳統產業的智能轉型升級。科技創新推動產業創新 人工智能大有作為新質生產力內涵豐富,積極推動新質生產力的發展,當然也不能拘泥於單一領域。去年12月,中央經濟工作會議上國家進一步提出,加快發展新質生產力,就要以科技創新推動產業創新。而為了響應這一號召,聯想集團以服務為導向的轉型持續取得進展,非個人電腦業務在營業收入中的佔比進一步提升,於第二季度創下了近47%的歷史新高。對此,聯想控股股份有限公司董事長寧旻這樣解釋,「不僅是PC領域,現今IT涉及的所有領域,未來都將逐漸被AI全面滲透。目前聯想集團以算力服務為核心的『AI導向的基礎設施』現已形成『一橫五縱』的佈局,『一橫五縱』的AI基礎設施是聯想集團全棧智能架構的中堅部分。」以其服務的客戶青島特鋼為例,聯想集團將自身的計算機視覺技術和預警系統應用於特鋼高線產線,從而解決了傳統人工巡檢精確度不足的問題。通過自動識別和預警技術,青島特鋼人均效率提升了15%、協同效率提升了20%、停機時間減少了15%。這一案例不僅提升了生產效率,還贏得了「2021年度國家工信部智能製造示範工廠」等榮譽,充分展示了聯想在智能製造領域的強大賦能能力。公開數據顯示,截至2024年初,已有90%的中國製造500強、1000多家頭部製造型企業以及2000多家成長型製造企業都獲得過聯想全棧智能的支持,內容涵蓋產品、服務及解決方案。從三一重工、五礦集團、長城汽車等大型製造企業,到北京大學、上海交大等多家企事業單位,其背後都能夠看到算力提供商聯想的身影。以自身在AI領域的前瞻佈局和科技創新能力賦能其他產業,為眾多產業的創新升級提供服務與支持,再次體現了聯想對於進一步助力新質生產力加速發展這一時代要求的有力回應。支持專精特新「小巨人」與獨角獸 可為長遠發展積蓄動能在聚焦產業的運營提升之外,聯想控股的另一大業務圍繞產業孵化與投資展開。對於這樣的業務佈局模式,寧旻曾表示,「聯想控股一方面推動旗下企業以自身的科技創新不斷提高生產效率,賦能產業鏈、供應鏈發展;另一方面通過投資助力優秀創業企業成長,支持其以新技術培育新產業、新模式、新業態、新動能,實現資金鏈、產業鏈和創新鏈的深度融合。」而就筆者的具體分析而言,公司在這類孵化投資項目中對科技產業的支持主要體現在以下兩方面。其一是持續加強佈局AI產業鏈。目前,聯控體系已建立起AI產業鏈的全棧佈局,可提供全面而多樣的AI產品組合與方案服務。同時,公司還在進一步加大在人工智能領域的佈局和應用推廣,累計投資的AI企業已超過250家,從而構建起充滿活力的AI+應用生態圈。此外,公司也在積極推進數字產業化、產業數字化,助力超前建設數字基礎設施,加快形成全國一體化算力體系,從而更好地促進數字經濟和實體經濟的深度融合。其二是助力「小巨人」企業的成長,推動多家所投企業發展成為獨角獸企業。2024年9月,最新公佈的第六批國家級專精特新「小巨人」企業名錄顯示,聯控及旗下君聯資本、聯想之星、正奇能科、聯想創投共計60家所投企業入選,涵蓋了新一代信息技術、生物、高端裝備製造等七大「戰略性新興產業」。此外,據統計,聯控目前已累計助力了超180家國家級專精特新「小巨人」企業,處於行業領先水平。同時,據了解,聯控近年亦格外重視瞪羚企業及獨角獸企業的成長,以長期資本作為持續支持,為這些企業提供了健康成長的土壤。旗下君聯資本、聯想之星、弘毅投資及聯想創投,堅持「投早期」,堅持「投硬科技」,所投企業中共計39家已發展成為獨角獸企業,在我國總計369家獨角獸企業中佔比超10%,所屬領域包括集成電路、醫藥健康、人工智能、新能源智能汽車等多個新興領域。以筆者視角來看,新質生產力不僅僅是片面強調科技創新,也不是簡單地理解為某些特定行業的發展壯大,而是激發其對於整個經濟發展模式的迭代,這其中包含對於傳統行業的轉型升級,對於新興戰略產業的長期堅定佈局,對於新型生產關係的定義、全要素生產率的提升等等。相信未來,如聯控這般的企業能夠繼續發揮自身優勢與經驗,通過聚焦新質生產力,進一步釋放高質量發展潛能,從各個維度實現更為多元立體的經濟價值和社會效益。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

英國考慮向烏克蘭派遣部隊 – 泰晤士報 News

英國考慮向烏克蘭派遣部隊 – 泰晤士報

(SeaPRwire) - 倫敦可能派遣小規模教官團隊在「偏遠」地點訓練基輔軍隊 《泰晤士報》週四引述消息人士報導,英國軍方正在考慮派遣部隊前往烏克蘭,在「偏遠」地點訓練基輔軍隊。 一位英國軍方消息人士告訴該報,派遣教官而不是在英國本土訓練烏克蘭軍人可能「對我們來說更便宜,對他們來說更好。」,並淡化了教官可能被殺的擔憂。 「我們可以在那裡更快地進行 [訓練],而且地點會離前線非常遠,位於偏遠地點,因此風險會低得多。」這位消息人士說。 基輔似乎對這個想法表示讚賞,一位烏克蘭軍方消息人士告訴《泰晤士報》,這樣的部署將向莫斯科和其他地方發出「強大的軍事政治信號」。除此之外,這將標誌著北約軍事基礎設施在該國的「事實上的」部署的開始,據說可以作為對俄羅斯的「威懾」。 這位烏克蘭消息人士補充說,英國教官還將能夠「從」基輔軍隊「學習戰場技能」,並「測試」在與俄羅斯衝突中研發的最新武器。 該報導發布之際,烏克蘭領導人弗拉基米爾·澤連斯基正在對幾個歐洲首都進行訪問。週四,澤連斯基訪問了英國,並會見了首相基爾·斯塔默,斯塔默表示,「我們能夠展示我們對支持烏克蘭的持續承諾非常重要。」 在衝突中,烏克蘭的西方支持者在海外訓練了超過 10 萬名烏克蘭軍人,其中近一半(超過 4.5 萬人)在英國接受了訓練。英國國防軍備部長盧克·波拉德在 9 月份承認,對烏克蘭人的廣泛訓練導致英國軍隊本身出現「能力差距」。例如,這位官員說,英國陸軍被剝奪了「幾乎所有」AS90 自行榴彈炮,同時辯稱這一決定是「正確的選擇」。 另外,英國國防部開支監督機構編制的一份最新報告顯示,2023 年,英國陸軍部隊的訓練招標被拒絕的次數是前幾年的 8 倍。報告稱,由於烏克蘭軍人在那裡接受基本的步兵訓練,訓練設施一直處於不可用狀態。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
