LeddarTech lança tecnologia de direção de feixe digital de estado sólido de grau automotivo LeddarSteer para desenvolvedores de sensores LiDAR

QUEBEC, May 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A LeddarTech®, líder global no fornecimento da tecnologia de detecção ADAS e AD mais flexível, robusta e precisa, tem o prazer de anunciar o lançamento do LeddarSteer™, uma solução de direção de feixe digital criada para os desenvolvedores de sensores inteligentes LiDAR e fornecedores automotivos Nível 1-2.

A direção do feixe digital refere-se à mudança da direção dos pulsos do laser em um LiDAR. O uso de uma pilha de células de cristal líquido alternadas e grades de polarização permite direcionar a luz em diferentes ângulos em um comprimento de onda específico, a fim de aumentar um campo de visão LiDAR, maximizando seu desempenho, permitindo o alcance da direção de feixe digital para LiDAR.

A direção de feixe digital LeddarSteer oferece uma infinidade de benefícios para os desenvolvedores de sensores inteligentes LiDAR e clientes de Nível 1 e 2, incluindo:

  • Ajuste instantâneo controlado por software
    • Ajuste quadro a quadro
    • Configuração predefinida ou personalizada
    • Fácil configuração e interface
    • Direção controlada por tensão
  • Várias aplicações LiDAR
    • Compatibilidade com uma ampla gama de arquiteturas LiDAR
    • Vários casos de uso abordados pelo LiDAR
    • Campo de visão ajustável para várias ações, incluindo curvas, saídas, mudanças de faixa e declives
    • Mesmo LiDAR para condução em rodovias e cidades
    • Redução do número de sensores, permitindo economia de custos
  • Tecnologia de estado sólido de grau automotivo, resultando em um MTBF significativamente maior (tempo médio entre falhas)

O LeddarSteer pode ser perfeitamente integrado a um LiDAR existente para expandir o campo de visão, ou integrado ao novo desenvolvimento do LiDAR. A solução fornece uma relação sinal-ruído aprimorada, concentrando a potência do laser em uma pequena região de interesse, reduzindo o tamanho, o custo e a complexidade dos componentes LiDAR, mantendo ou aumentando a contagem e resolução de pixels.

“Há mais de 10 anos a LeddarTech tem sido líder no desenvolvimento de soluções de detecção que permitem que nossos clientes entreguem sensores ADAS e AD de alta performance”, disse Charles Boulanger, CEO da LeddarTech. “O LeddarSteer é o único componente inteligente de direção de feixe digital projetado para produção em massa com a flexibilidade, confiabilidade, custo, tamanho e desempenho exigidos pelas aplicações de detecção 3D mais exigentes, e suportado pelo processo de fabricação automotiva padrão”, concluiu o Sr. Boulanger.

Synchronoss to Provide Wholesale Process Automation and Management to Brightspeed

Relationship to Support Brightspeed’s Planned Fiber Deployments Across 20-State Footprint

Multi-Year Agreement Features interconnectNOW and Financial Analytics
to Help Orchestrate Service Requests and Manage Trading Partner Expense

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., May 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Synchronoss Technologies Inc. (“Synchronoss” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SNCR), a global leader and innovator in cloud, messaging and digital products and platforms, today announced that it has signed a multi-year agreement with Brightspeed, a provider of broadband and telecommunications services expected to have operations in 20 States. Brightspeed will initially be comprised of the incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) assets and associated operations of Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN), which are the subject of a pending acquisition by Apollo-managed funds (NYSE: APO).

Brightspeed will utilize two key modules from the Synchronoss networkX Platform – interconnectNOW (iNOW) and Financial Analytics (FA) – for its planned fiber deployments throughout its multi-state territory across rural and suburban regions of the United States.

Brightspeed previously announced plans to invest more than $2 billion to build a network that will bring faster, more reliable Internet and Wi-Fi to communities throughout the Midwest, Southeast, and certain parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.   The company’s planned fiber optics transformation is expected to reach up to three million homes and businesses over the next five years, including in many places where fiber and advanced technology have not historically been deployed.

“As Brightspeed continues to build out its fiber optics network, iNOW and Financial Analytics will be integral in managing the company’s wholesale carrier operations,” said Chris Hill, Chief Commercial Officer at Synchronoss. “Automating and orchestrating orders throughout the lifecycle will enable Brightspeed to keep pace with customer requests and realize revenue faster.”

“Our partnership with Synchronoss will provide us access to their state-of-the-art platforms to achieve exceptional efficiencies in managing our wholesale carrier orders and trading partner transactions,” said Chris Creager, Chief Administration Officer of Brightspeed. “From end-to-end, iNOW will enable us to track orders and help us deliver world-class connectivity products and services to the communities we look forward to serving.”

The iNOW platform eliminates manual handling of service orders and manages the full lifecycle between customer and supplier via automation and rules-based validation.

WHO Studies Whether COVID-19 Has Role in Child Hepatitis Mystery

The WHO said Tuesday that 348 probable cases of hepatitis of unknown origin had been identified, as studies into the potential role of adenovirus and COVID-19 infection gather pace.

The World Health Organization said the leading hypotheses remain those involving adenovirus.

Cases have been reported in 20 countries, with 70 additional cases from a further 13 countries that are pending classification as tests await completion.

Only six countries are reporting more than five cases, with Britain reporting more than 160.

“Over the last week, there’s been some important progress with the further investigations and some refinements of the working hypotheses,” Philippa Easterbrook, from the WHO’s global hepatitis program, told a press conference.

She said Britain had been coordinating a comprehensive set of studies looking at the genetics of the children affected, their immune response, viruses and further epidemiological studies.

The WHO was first informed on April 5 of 10 unexplained hepatitis cases in Scotland, detected in children under the age of 10.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday it was investigating 109 such cases, including five reported deaths.

“At present, the leading hypotheses remain those which involve adenovirus — with also still an important consideration about the role of COVID as well, either as a co-infection or a past infection,” Easterbrook said.

Further testing in the past week confirmed that around 70% of the cases tested positive for adenovirus, with sub-type 41 — normally associated with gastroenteritis — the prevalent sub-type, she added.

Testing has also shown that around 18% of cases actively tested positive for COVID-19.

“The big focus over the next week is looking at serological testing for previous exposure and infections with COVID,” said Easterbrook.

The scientist said that within the week, there should be data from Britain on a case control study comparing whether the detection rate of adenovirus differs from that in other hospitalized children.

“That will really help hone down whether adeno is just an incidental infection that’s been detected or there is a causal or likely causal link,” Easterbrook said.

She said that microscopic studies of liver samples and biopsies had shown none of the typical features that might be expected with a liver inflammation due to adenovirus.

Adenoviruses are commonly spread by close personal contact, respiratory droplets and surfaces.

They are generally known to cause respiratory symptoms, conjunctivitis or even digestive disorders.

The WHO refers to the outbreak of severe liver inflammations as acute hepatitis of unknown origin among young children.

Three children in Indonesia have died from the disease.

Some cases have caused liver failure and required transplants.

Many cases reported jaundice, and gastrointestinal symptoms including abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting.

After the discovery of the first 169 cases, the WHO said common viruses that cause acute viral hepatitis (hepatitis viruses A, B, C, D and E) were not detected in any of them.

Bill Gates Says He Has COVID-19, Experiencing Mild Symptoms

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said Tuesday he has tested positive for COVID-19 and is experiencing mild symptoms.

Via Twitter, the billionaire philanthropist said he will isolate until he is again healthy.

“I’m fortunate to be vaccinated and boosted and have access to testing and great medical care,” Gates wrote.

The Seattle-based Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is the most influential private foundation in the world, with an endowment of about $65 billion.

Bill Gates has been a vocal proponent for pandemic mitigation measures, specifically access to vaccines and medication for poorer countries. The Gates Foundation in October said it will spend $120 million to boost access to generic versions of drugmaker Merck’s antiviral COVID-19 pill for lower-income countries.

[INVNT GROUP] The Global BrandStory Project® Drives Web3 Innovation in World-First Collaboration with Lamborghini, Steve Aoki, Krista Kim, and RM Sotheby’s

The 1:1 NFT plus the last physical Aventador Coupé auction closed at $1.6MM – placing the purchase price in the top 10 brand new Lamborghinis ever sold at auction.

New York, NY, May 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — [INVNT GROUP] The Global BrandStory Project, in collaboration with Lamborghini, leading metaverse artist Krista Kim, 2x Grammy-nominated artist Steve Aoki, and the historied collector car auction house, RM Sotheby’s, sold the world’s first supercar 1:1 NFT connected to the last physical production supercar Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae Coupé ever produced. Leading brands and organizations into the future of Web3, [INVNT GROUP] curated the strategic partnership and developed, designed, and produced the ‘Lamborghini Ultimate’ campaign globally.

Achieving 562MM+ Global Media Reach Impressions and 4.65MM+ Social Media Impressions, the exposure resulted in a closing auction bid of $1.6MM – over 3x the standard suggested retail of a Lamborghini Aventador Coupé – making it one of the 10 most expensive brand new Lamborghini’s ever sold at auction.

To achieve these results, [INVNT GROUP], led by President and CEO Scott Cullather, leveraged the skills and services of its digital innovation division, INVNT.ATOM™, its digital content studio, HEVĒ™, and team members across four of its nine offices, around the globe.

Committed to brand storytelling and boundless innovation, driven by strategy, design, and technology, The GROUP recently announced its expanding global presence through the Web3-focused digital innovation division, INVNT.ATOM, which powered the ‘Lamborghini Ultimate’ project, including the NFT production. INVNT.ATOM helps brands and organizations navigate, activate, and create new storytelling opportunities at the digital frontier. The team, located in INVNT’s Singapore office, consists of strategists, creators, and community-builders specializing in digital-first campaigns, emergent technologies, and engaging brand experiences calibrated for the new era of Web3.

“This collaboration, sitting at the intersection of art, music, entertainment, design, and technology, was an epic project for our group. It represents every aspect of our ongoing commitment to helping brands and organizations tell stories that connect with their most important audiences in engaging and relevant ways. Leveraging Web3 technology in partnering with Lamborghini, Steve, Krista, and RM Sotheby’s, we brought communities from around the world together in unimaginable ways,” Scott Cullather President and CEO of [INVNT GROUP]

INVNT.ATOM together with HEVĒ, [INVNT GROUP]’s creative agency and production studio, led the creative, strategy, design, content, and marketing communications. Through public relations, and social and influencer partnerships, the campaign reached a global audience of over 500MM+. HEVĒ spearheaded the creative direction and production of the Behind the Drop video featuring exclusive interviews with Krista Kim, Steve Aoki, and Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.

In the historic campaign, Automobili Lamborghini auctioned the last production Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae Coupé with a 1:1 NFT. Lamborghini and [INVNT GROUP] united three forms of art: design, music, and cutting-edge technology, to create a never-before-seen collaboration that will go down as one of the most prolific 1:1 NFT drops of the year.

The Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae Coupé exclusive one of one was brought to life in both the NFT and physical car by contemporary artist Krista Kim, who created the visual artwork and her signature gradients. The gradients also appear in the bespoke customization of the physical Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae Coupé, and NFT visionary artist Steve Aoki who consulted on the design of the NFT, physical car and provided a custom-developed soundtrack.

“We had this approach of: “how do we bring upon the higher states of consciousness, and how does that translate and transmute the beauty of the power in the V12 engine of Lamborghini. As a luxury super sports car company, I think that this company is really pioneering web3,” said Krista Kim.

Steve Aoki continues, “I’m honored to be partnering with Lamborghini, Krista Kim, and [INVNT GROUP] on this historic project. It truly has its own story, & therefore I wanted my music track to reflect its soulful energy – the vibe, the spirit, and the power. The digital imprint of who we are has a serious meaning to our lives. As we step into web3, having identity through things like NFTs, like this car, are going to be more and more important to us.”

An exclusive preview of the NFT was hosted on BZAR Future of Community™, [INVNT GROUP]’s patent-pending, decentralized, content-led metaverse; established as a marketplace for physical and digital transactions, NFTs, entertainment, social, and gaming experiences.

The owner of the world’s first super sports car 1:1 NFT now holds in their possession the first-ever Lamborghini luxury super sports car for Web3; with capabilities via the exclusive GLB files, the winner can drive the one of a kind NFT in the Web3 platform of their choice pending platform mechanics.

Marking the end of an incredible era for Lamborghini; the brand is now looking to the future and electrifying its complete line-up by 2024. As Lamborghini charges into the digital era the lucky owner will be part of the brand’s legacy, owning the last naturally aspirated V12 Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae Coupé, and the exclusively designed NFT – the first Lamborghini luxury super sports car for Web3.

“Partnering with [INVNT GROUP], Steve Aoki and Krista Kim on the design and production of this incredible moment in Lamborghini’s history – the very last Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae Coupé ever produced was amazing. These creative minds coming together to design and produce, the 1:1 physical super sports car and NFT package with one of a kind utilities, has created something very special that can be shared for generations to come – making it part of Lamborghini’s iconic legacy,” Christian Mastro, Marketing Director, Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.
