TANAKA Announces “TK-SK” Palladium Alloy for Semiconductor Test Equipment JCN Newswire

TANAKA Announces “TK-SK” Palladium Alloy for Semiconductor Test Equipment

TOKYO, Oct 17, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K. (Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO: Koichiro Tanaka), which develops industrial precious metal products as one of the core companies of TANAKA Precious Metals, has announced the development of TK-SK, a palladium alloy designed for probe pins used in the final testing stage (post-processing) of semiconductor packages. This new product will be showcased via a panel display at SWTest Asia 2024, an exhibition scheduled for October 24–25, 2024, in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, with samples available for shipping before the end of the year.Key Features of “TK-SK”:640HV Hardness: This palladium alloy offers maximum hardness of 640HV, making it ideal for use in test socket applications, particularly in the final continuity testing stage (back-end process).TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo has manufactured and supplied a range of precious metals for probe pins used in testing equipment in the front-end and back-end processes of semiconductor manufacturing.As a palladium alloy for probe pins, TK-SK exhibits maximum hardness of 640HV that makes it suitable for use in test socket applications mainly in the final continuity testing stage (back-end process).Demand for high-hardness probe pins has increased in recent years. However, one common challenge with harder materials is that they can be more difficult to process and are prone to breaking during machining. Additionally, palladium alloys on the market previously had a maximum hardness of around 560HV. Through its unique processing technology, TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo has successfully developed TK-SK with a hardness of 640HV. By 2028, the company aims to ship 1.5 times the volume of its existing products.Pogo pin-type probe pins are typically used in test sockets. During testing, the tip or plunger of the probe pin can become deformed due to friction from contact with substrates. Solder may also adhere to the plungers, needing regular cleaning, which further increases the risk of deformation due to friction. High-hardness probe pins, like TK-SK, reduce wear-related deformation, leading to longer service life and lower maintenance costs for semiconductor test equipment.Looking ahead, TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo plans to continue contributing to the development of the semiconductor market, which is expected to experience significant growth in the coming years.TK-SK Properties (Reference Values)Exhibition detailsExhibition name: SWTest Asia 2024Dates: October 24 (10:00–15:30) and October 25 (10:00–16:00), 2024Venue: Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk, JapanOfficial website: https://www.swtestasia.org/Exhibitor: TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K.Booth No.: 210Panel display: Palladium alloy for probe pins (TK-SK wire, TK-FS wire and sheet), copper-silver alloy for probe pins (TK-101 sheet), and precious metal plating solution for probe cardsAbout TANAKA Precious MetalsSince its foundation in 1885, TANAKA Precious Metals has built a portfolio of products to support a diversified range of business uses focused on precious metals.

Mengapa Usahawan Muda Adalah Kunci Untuk Mengatasi Perubahan Iklim di Afrika berita

Mengapa Usahawan Muda Adalah Kunci Untuk Mengatasi Perubahan Iklim di Afrika

(SeaPRwire) - Saya seorang rakyat Nigeria yang bangga dan seorang rakyat Afrika yang bangga. Saya juga seorang dermawan dan usahawan—dan saya telah melihat sendiri bahawa untuk menangani perubahan iklim secara berkesan dalam konteks Afrika, dari Mesir hingga Nigeria hingga Afrika Selatan, kita mesti melihat kepada orang yang terjejas. Selalunya perniagaan kita tidak mencipta nilai di benua kita atau memperdagangkan komoditi untuk keuntungan jangka pendek, bukan pelaburan jangka panjang. Memupuk keusahawanan, mengekalkan usahawan muda, yang akan mengembangkan perniagaan dan mewujudkan pekerjaan mampan, adalah jalan penting untuk mencapai penyelesaian iklim jangka panjang. Pada tahun 2010, saya dan isteri saya mendapat idea. Bimbang dengan peningkatan kemiskinan, kami menubuhkan Yayasan Tony Elumelu (TEF) dan menjanjikan $100 juta untuk mengenal pasti, membimbing, dan membiayai usahawan muda Afrika—orang muda yang mempunyai idea cemerlang dan semangat untuk menangani cabaran paling mendesak di benua itu. Mereka kekurangan modal, hubungan, dan mentor. Mereka kekurangan nasib. Kami ingin mengubahnya. Ia adalah taruhan berani yang bertujuan memperkasakan demografi paling rentan dan ramai di Afrika, menggalakkan mereka mencipta kekayaan mereka sendiri, dan bukan bergantung pada bantuan. Dan taruhan itu berhasil. Sejak penubuhannya, yayasan itu telah memperkasakan 20,000 usahawan di seluruh 54 negara Afrika, yang telah mencipta 400,000 pekerjaan langsung dan tidak langsung dan menjana lebih $2.3 bilion hasil. Kami telah menyediakan akses kepada latihan perniagaan kepada lebih 1.5 juta orang muda. Memandangkan skala tugas itu, kami bekerjasama dengan Program Pembangunan Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (UNDP), Jawatankuasa Antarabangsa Palang Merah (ICRC), Kesatuan Eropah (EU), dan rakan kongsi lain untuk memperdalam jangkauan dan impak kami. Kami menyediakan pembiayaan, bimbingan, latihan perniagaan, dan sokongan advokasi kepada usahawan—khususnya, di rantau yang rapuh, zon konflik, dan komuniti terpinggir. Bersama-sama, kami menangani cabaran seperti pengangguran belia, kemiskinan, dan pemberontakan melalui keusahawanan. Pada tahun 2022, kami bekerjasama dengan UNICEF Generation Unlimited (GenU) dan IKEA Foundation, untuk melancarkan Program Keusahawanan Hijau yang memperkasakan belia yang perniagaan mereka menangani krisis planet tiga kali ganda. Daripada 20,000 usahawan muda lelaki dan perempuan yang diperkasakan oleh TEF, lebih 500 secara langsung atau tidak langsung menyelesaikan cabaran yang berkaitan dengan perubahan iklim, dan lebih daripada sepertiga (35%) bekerja dalam sektor pertanian. Tonton: Dengan memperkasakan orang muda, kita sedang mewujudkan enjin dinamik yang mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi dan pembangunan di seluruh benua. Usahawan ini juga menjadi tonggak sokongan penting dalam komuniti mereka. Mereka bukan sahaja mencipta pekerjaan dan pendapatan penting, tetapi juga mengangkat keluarga dan memecahkan kitaran kemiskinan. Dan sekarang, lebih daripada sebelumnya, adalah masanya untuk membawa lensa iklim kepada keusahawanan ini. Afrika sedang menjadi panas dengan lebih cepat daripada bahagian lain dunia. Menjelang tahun 2030, rakyat Afrika dijangka menghadapi kemarau, dan kenaikan paras laut mengancam wilayah pesisir, berpotensi menggantikan jutaan orang. Perubahan iklim menghalang akses kepada keperluan asas: air, tenaga, makanan, dan pendidikan. Tetapi cabaran ini juga menawarkan peluang luar biasa bagi mereka yang mempunyai minda keusahawanan untuk menangani perubahan iklim, sambil secara serentak mewujudkan nilai ekonomi yang besar. Sebagai contoh, bagaimana kita dapat meningkatkan kemampanan petani kecil, yang terdiri daripada dan ? Apakah strategi yang boleh digunakan oleh negara-negara Afrika dengan hutan yang luas—seperti Gabon, Liberia, Guinea-Bissau, dan Congo—untuk memanfaatkan sink karbon penting ini secara berkesan? Untuk membuka kunci potensi penuh penyelesaian hijau di Afrika, kita mesti memupuk keusahawanan—dan ini tidak dapat dicapai oleh kerajaan sahaja. Kita perlu mengintegrasikan skim insentif kerajaan, dengan peluang yang dibentangkan oleh sektor swasta. Adalah penting untuk kita menyatukan badan amal, pembuat dasar, dan perniagaan. Saya merujuk kepada gerakan ini sebagai "Africapitalism"—seruan untuk perkongsian yang dipimpin oleh sektor swasta, yang memberi tumpuan kepada memupuk kemakmuran untuk semua. Pemanasan global bukan nasib yang tidak dapat dielakkan. Usahawan pada asasnya adalah penyelesai masalah; mereka memiliki rasa ingin tahu untuk meneroka peluang dan cabaran, kreativiti untuk menghasilkan penyelesaian inovatif, dan tekad untuk mengubah halangan menjadi kejayaan. Keusahawanan belia boleh menjadi penyelesaian untuk mengelakkan krisis impak iklim yang semakin meningkat. Sudah tiba masanya untuk memanfaatkan kekuatan ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Treatment “Rozebalamin(R) for Injection 25 mg” Receives The Good Design Award 2024 for Light- Proof Vial Packaging JCN Newswire

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Treatment “Rozebalamin(R) for Injection 25 mg” Receives The Good Design Award 2024 for Light- Proof Vial Packaging

TOKYO, Oct 16, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. announced today that amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) treatment “Rozebalamin® for Injection 25 mg” (mecobalamin) has received the Good Design Award 2024 (by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion) for its light-proof vial packaging.“Rozebalamin for Injection” was approved in Japan on September 24, 2024 as a treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Its active ingredient is mecobalamin, which was developed as a freeze-dried formulation which is dissolved into a solvent at the time of administration. Mecobalamin is chemically unstable when exposed to light, therefore requiring a higher level of light-protection than that of the commonly used light- blocking film made by depositing aluminum onto a PET film (aluminium-deposited PET), from the time of distribution/storage until immediately before administration. However, there is also some necessity for visibility, such as the ability to visually confirm the medication inside the vial at the time of use and see the needle tip when extracting the medication with a syringe.For Rozebalamin, packaging was created with a high level of light-protection by applying a black print to aluminium-deposited PET. While the entire vial is covered by the light-blocking packaging, a resealable window to visibility to inspect the solution inside, and the neck of the vial allows that can be peeled back. In addition, perforations were not added to the film with the aim of maintaining the high capacity for light- protection. In doing so, the conflicting issues of increasing light-protection while maintaining visibility were solved, which was also highly evaluated in this selection. This packaging was co-developed with IL Pharma Packaging Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Aichi), and the award was also presented to both companies.Eisai considers neurology a therapeutic area of focus. As a human healthcare company, Eisai is committed to further addressing the diverse needs of, and increasing the benefits of, patients, their families, and healthcare professionals, by providing high-quality and easy-to-use Rozebalamin as a new treatment option for ALS patients.About Good Design AwardA Japanese design evaluation and promotion mechanism that was first established in 1957 as the Good Design Product Selection System. As a global design award with participation from numerous domestic and international companies and organizations, it is held annually with the aim of improving the quality of life and utilizing design to solve social issues and themes. The "G Mark," which symbolizes the award, is widely recognized as an emblem of excellent design. www.g-mark.org/en.Media Inquiries:Public Relations Department, Eisai Co., Ltd.+81-(0)3-3817-5120 Copyright 2024 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Leveraging Hong Kong’s one country, two systems advantages, the policies will fuel the city’s continued economic growth.Dr Peter K N Lam, Chairman of the HKTDC, said: “The Policy Address highlights the Hong Kong SAR Government’s efforts in seeking innovation and change, while striving for excellence. It addresses a wide range of areas covering economic growth, trade and investment, SME support, culture and creative as well as construction and planning. Riding on Hong Kong’s eight centre advantages, the Policy Address promotes new quality productive forces and high-quality economic development.”The annual address announced various measures to reinforce the city’s status as an international financial, shipping and trading centre. Dr Lam believed the move echoes the 20th Central Committee’s Third Plenary Session’s Resolution to develop Hong Kong into a supply chain service centre: “The HKTDC will continue to proactively promote Hong Kong’s eight centre advantages and enhance the development of high value-added supply chain services. We will step up cooperation with InvestHK to set up a mechanism and enhance the interface for attracting mainland enterprises to establish their international or regional headquarters in Hong Kong and provide one-stop diversified professional advisory services to help them go global via the Hong Kong platform.”He added that the HKTDC will strengthen advisory services of its Transformation Sandbox (T-box) programme to cover a wider range of areas and support Hong Kong enterprises as well as mainland companies in Hong Kong in regard to business transformation, sustainable development and operational upgrade. Businesses are encouraged to leverage the HKTDC’s trade platforms and events to go global and explore international market opportunities, especially in the high-potential ASEAN region.Dr Lam welcomed the HKSAR Government’s SME support measures, including the relaunch of the Principal Moratorium scheme, a HK$1 billion injection into the BUD Fund and an additional HK$500 million provision for the Incentive Scheme for Recurrent Exhibitions 2.0. He believes the measures will foster SMEs’ sustainable development and reinforce Hong Kong’s role as a leading convention and exhibition hub.The Policy Address stated the Hong Kong Shopping Festival will be relaunched in the next two years to help SMEs tap into the mainland e-commerce sales market. Dr Lam said: “The inaugural Hong Kong Shopping Festival organised by the HKTDC in August this year received an enthusiastic response. Not only did it raise participants’ brand exposure, but also provided them with practical experience in e-commerce operations. We will build on this year’s success and host the second edition of the Festival next August, and in the ASEAN market in due course, to enable Hong Kong SMEs to explore market opportunities via e-commerce and social media platforms.”To help SMEs understand e-commerce marketing, the HKTDC will publish research reports and analyses on e-commerce ecosystems in different markets, such as ASEAN, to help businesses lay a solid foundation in e-commerce operations. Through its Digital Academy and Design Gallery’s (DG) cross-border e-commerce shops on Taobao and JD International, the HKTDC has been offering comprehensive support to Hong Kong SMEs to leverage diverse e-commerce and digital marketing channels to explore mainland opportunities. DG’s 70 physical sales network in the mainland serve as an ideal platform to promote Hong Kong brands in the region. As for the ASEAN market, the HKTDC’s DG Studio programme helps connect local businesses with ASEAN physical retailers and e-commerce platforms.In terms of strengthening SMEs’ brand development, the HKTDC will continue to organise some 40 international exhibitions and conferences in Hong Kong every year. We will also set up more Hong Kong Pavilions in mainland and overseas exhibitions and further enhance business matching, to support SMEs in developing their brand and tapping global opportunities.On promotion of Hong Kong's cultural and creative industries, as mentioned in the Policy Address, more Hong Kong, mainland and overseas cultural and creative products will be added to the Asia IP Exchange (AsiaIPEX), managed by the HKTDC, to facilitate cross-sector exchanges and cooperation and contribute to Hong Kong’s development into a regional IP trading centre. Currently, the platform displays more than 28,000 IP projects available for trading. The HKTDC will continue to promote cultural and creative products as well as IP transformation and trading on its platforms, such as the Business of IP Asia Forum, Hong Kong International Licensing Show and the Hong Kong International Film and TV Market.Dr Lam also welcomed measures addressing new quality productive forces, the Northern Metropolis, digital economy and silver economy, which will help Hong Kong businesses further explore opportunities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Belt and Road countries and regions.Addressing the reduction of the liquor duty rate, Dr Lam believes that the move will strengthen related trade and further promote Hong Kong as a regional wine trading hub. He added that the 16th Hong Kong International Wine and Spirits Fair will be held from 7 to 9 November, which will showcase fine wines from around the world, including liquors and white wines in the mainland pavilions, whiskeys from Japan and Ireland and spirits from around the world. Fair seminars will highlight the prospects of Hong Kong’s spirits market, while Chinese liquor promotional events will help the industry seize new opportunities.In conclusion, Dr Lam said: "The HKTDC will continue to support and complement national development and the Hong Kong SAR Government's policies. We will work closely with the business community to leverage Hong Kong's advantages and promote sustainable economic growth."Media enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication & Public Affairs Department:Sam HoTel: (852) 2584 4589Email: sam.sy.ho@hktdc.orgTo view press releases in Chinese, please visit http://mediaroom.hktdc.com/tcAbout HKTDC The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

Fleet Space seeks to revolutionise mineral exploration with its vertically integrated technology stack, ExoSphere, which combines the latest advances in satellite connectivity, 3D multiphysics data acquisition and AI to map mineral systems in real-time to streamline exploration and improve success rates for new economic discoveries.The Wongarbon Project has never been drilled, is located in the interpreted extension of the Northern Molong Belt of the Macquarie Arc, NSW, and is considered to be highly prospective for a new large-scale porphyry copper-gold complex and series of discoveries.Sam Spring, President and CEO of Kincora, commented: "Kincora and Fleet Space strongly believe the Wongarbon Project has the potential to be a new porphyry district and it is a prime candidate for major discovery. We are very pleased to have entered this innovative and multiple phase agreement. The results of our recent multiphysics surveys at our Nyngan Project are pending and the structure of this expanded partnership with Fleet Space provides unique alignment. We look forward to shortly advancing the first new exploration at the Wongarbon Project in almost 30-years with a pathway for refining and drilling true and large-scale virgin targets. This is Kincora's fifth recent partnership further demonstrating how we work with technical partners to apply industry leading exploration techniques to systematically advance, fund and de-risk our project pipeline of highly prospective porphyry targets. Further deals and partnerships are proposed for other Kincora projects and we thank existing shareholders for their support in the capital raising and welcome some good new groups to the register."Fleet Space Director, CFO and Financial Strategy & Investment Officer, Federico Tata-Nardini, said:"In a major advance for exploration in the Macquarie Arc, we are excited to deploy Fleet Space's proprietary ExoSphere technology stack and multiphysics surveys at the Wongarbon Project, building upon our relationship with Kincora. These agreements reflect a complete end-to-end deployment of ExoSphere, from target generation to drill testing on a project that offers new district scale potential and has never been drilled. Fleet Space has invested very significantly in the Macquarie Arc and established a unique knowledge of a number of the key porphyry systems and emerging discoveries. We have completed five surveys, including recently at the Boda-Kaiser deposits. Why? Because we believe there are further Cadia-scale deposits to be found and that our Exosphere technology will play a fundamental role in uncovering the next one as we continue to enhance mineral systems knowledge worldwide.Wongarbon's geological and geophysical setting is favourably located in a highly prospective area of the Arc. It has clear analogues of the nearby porphyry complexes and existing Tier 1 deposits. We believe the project is at the stage where we can add significant value and mutually share major discovery potential with Kincora."Capital Raising In conjunction with these agreements with Fleet Space, the Company is pleased to announce that it has received binding commitments for a two tranche share placement comprising 33.5m shares at an issue price of $0.038 (C$0.036) per share to raise A$1.27m (C$1.19m) (before costs) with 1:2 attaching option at A$0.075 (C$0.07) with a 2-year term (the "Placement"). The issue price is a 12% discount to the last close price (October 10th, 2024) and 16% discount to the 15 day VWAP (on the ASX).The Offering has been led by strategic investments for A$400,000 (C$373,832) by Fleet Space's investment fund, a new arms-length investor, and Big Ben Holdings, a long-term shareholder of Kincora's maintaining its 12.9% stake.Allotment of tranche 1 of the Placement to professional and sophisticated investors will take place on October 22nd, 2024, with 12.6m shares being issued under Kincora's Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity. Tranche 2 of the Placement (comprising 20.9m shares and 16.8m attaching options) will be subject to shareholder approval pursuant to a General Meeting, with further details to be provided to shareholders in a Notice of Meeting to be lodged shortly.Subject to shareholder approval, Directors intend to purchase C$50,000 of shares under tranche 2 of the Placement with Fleet Space and Big Ben Holdings also agreeing to participate in tranche 2. Fleet Space has agreed to a 12-month voluntary escrow period.Morgans Corporate Limited acted as Lead Manager to the Placement. A cash transaction cost of 3.9% of the Placement is payable.In addition to the Placement, the Company will issue 11m accrued remuneration shares to Kincora's board and senior management under the Equity Incentive Plan approved by shareholders.Post the proposed issuances, Kincora's total outstanding number of fully issued shared is anticipated to be 291.7m with 69m total options outstanding.Use of FundsThe funds used from the Placement is intended to support:(i) drilling and exploration at the Condobolin Project;(ii) Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) and gravity surveys at the Wongarbon Project with target refinement ahead of Fleet Space's right to drill a minimum of 2000 metres to earn a 20% stake in the Project; and,(iii) offering costs, working capital, new direct application license acquisition and general project generation opportunities.The New Partnership Fleet Space and Kincora have entered an agreement to commence multiphysics surveys at the Wongarbon Project with a path to asset level partnership:1) Fleet Space will have a right to fund a minimum of 2,000m drill program, with drill targets:identified and refined from the multiphysics surveys using Fleet Space's ExoSphere Discovery technology; and,mutually agreed by Kincora and Fleet Space.2) An exercise of the right in 1) will entitle Fleet Space to a 20% equity interest in the Wongarbon Project.3) The right in 1) may be exercised within 6 months of the completion of the multiphysics surveys.4) Should Fleet Space exercise the right, the parties will enter into a Joint Venture Agreement (JV Agreement). Key principles governing the JV Agreement will be customary for such stage exploration project including both parties having the right to provide additional funding maintain their respective ownership interests and dilution provisions should either party not participate in additional project funding, noting that any holder of a project interest less than 10% will have its interest converted to a 1% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty.Fleet Space is to be the operator of the multiphysics surveys, with support from Kincora, and Kincora the operator of the drilling program.The multiphysics surveys will comprise real-time 3D Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) and ground gravity surveys applying industry leading technology to generate and interpret new homogeneous and primary datasets via Fleet Space's proprietary and vertically integrated technology stack, ExoSphere, and be integrated with existing regional geophysical surveys and geological data.While interpretations are ongoing by Kincora, Fleet Space and AngloGold Ashanti the multiphysics surveys have confirmed and refined a regionally significant priority target ahead of imminent drilling. The surveys have also generated a number of previously unrecognised areas of interest and potential new target areas with a final review to integrate the results of the commenced drilling program results in conjunction with AngloGold Ashanti.About the Wongarbon ProjectPegged as open ground and secured only in June 2024, the Wongarbon project (EL9652) covers 173km2 and is interpreted to host one of the last remaining untested and large intrusive complexes of the Macquarie Arc:Regionally significant magmatic complex situated on the interpreted under cover extension of the northern Molong Belt coincident with an intrusive level cross arc structure supporting a series of large and untested porphyry targets.Clear analogues of the nearby complexes and existing Tier 1 deposits in the Arc and aeromagnetic signatures of other globally significant porphyry deposits.Previously identified as a large-scale new intrusive complex target by Newcrest but not drill tested at the time due to focus on the Cadia Far East and Ridgeway discoveries.Recent interpretations support immediate high priority targets for drilling.The Wongarbon project has never been drilled.Alkane and Magmatic Resources' have recently undertaken drilling at a total of seven porphyry targets along a common transverse structure that is interpreted to extend into the Wongarbon Project and be a key control to the 14.7Moz gold equivalent inventory at the Boda and Kaiser porphyry deposits 1. These recent programs have been encouraging with follow up exploration either planned and/or ongoing at these and other regional targets 3.Fleet Space has recently undertaken regional and infill ANT surveys at Alkane's Northern Molong Porphyry Project (NMPP), including the Boda and Kaiser deposits, with analysis and interpretation ongoing. Similar Fleet Space surveys across the Macquarie Arc, including Kincora's Nyngan Project, are noted as having refined and generated multiple new porphyry targets.Further details on the Wongarbon Project, including a detailed project level presentation, are available at: https://kincoracopper.com/wongarbon-project/ (Projects/Wongarbon).Further details on Kincora's wholly owned, district scale project portfolio and drill ready copper-gold porphyry projects are available on the Company's website: https://kincoracopper.com.About Fleet Space Technologies Fleet Space is private and widely recognised as Australia's leading space exploration company. Fleet Space seeks to revolutionise mineral exploration with its vertically integrated technology stack, ExoSphere, which combines the latest advances in satellite connectivity, 3D multiphysics data acquisition, and AI to map mineral systems in real-time.Fleet Space's ExoSphere technology enables an end-to-end approach to high-quality data acquisition, processing, interpretation and targeting to streamline exploration and improve success rates for new economic discoveries.Leveraging Fleet Space's proprietary satellite network in low Earth orbit, smart seismic sensors enabled with edge computing and rapid data processing, ExoSphere delivers real-time 3D mapping of mineral systems and AI-powered drill targeting with near-zero environmental impact.In the last quarter, Barrick Gold announced it would partner with Fleet Space to survey copper porphyry complexes across 1,150km² of the world-class Reko Diq project 4 and in the last month Gold Fields announced a similar relationship to advance exploration at the Salares Norte project in Chile 5.Recently, Inflection Resources' announced new targets generated by ExoSphere, leading AngloGold to accelerate their Exploration Agreement and drilling with Inflection 5. Inflection and Fleet Space have also recently announced the results of the world's largest real-time ANT survey across 1818km², built an AI-powered district scale copper prospectivity map which, when integrated with other existing datasets (including airborne magnetics and gravity), has resulted in four new priority targets, three of which are within 2km's of Kincora wider project portfolio in the northern Junee-Narromine Belt 6.ExoSphere's rapid global adoption has propelled Fleet Space's exponential growth, including a A$50 million Series C funding round, a doubling of its valuation to A$350 million, plans to send a variant of ExoSphere to the Moon in 2026, and recognition as Australia's fastest growing company 2.For more information please visit Fleet Space's website at https://www.fleetspace.com.About Kincora Kincora Copper is dual listed on the ASX and TSX-V (ticker "KCC") and is an active explorer and project generator focused on world-class copper-gold discoveries that has recently executed five agreements that unlock up to >A$60 million in multiple year partner funding.

Ted Cruz dan Colin Allred Berhadapan dalam Satu-satunya Perbahasan dalam Perlumbaan Senat Texas berita

Ted Cruz dan Colin Allred Berhadapan dalam Satu-satunya Perbahasan dalam Perlumbaan Senat Texas

(SeaPRwire) - DALLAS — Senator Republik Ted Cruz dan Rep. Demokrat Colin Allred bertemu untuk debat tunggal mereka pada Selasa malam, bertukar serangan mengenai pengguguran dan imigresen dalam perlumbaan yang diperhatikan dengan teliti yang boleh membantu menentukan parti mana yang memenangi kawalan Senat Amerika Syarikat. Di peringkat kebangsaan, Demokrat melihat peluang pickup di Senat tahun ini, sementara Cruz telah mendesak Republikan untuk menganggap Texas serius di tengah-tengah tanda-tanda bahawa bekas calon presiden 2016 itu berada dalam perlumbaan kompetitif lain untuk mengekalkan kerusi beliau. Dari awal hingga akhir dalam debat selama sejam itu, Cruz cuba mengaitkan Allred dengan Naib Presiden Kamala Harris pada hampir setiap peluang dan menggambarkan kongresmen Dallas tiga penggal itu sebagai tidak selari dengan sebuah negeri di mana pengundi tidak memilih seorang Demokrat untuk jawatan negeri dalam tempoh 30 tahun. Allred, yang akan menjadi senator pertama Texas yang berbangsa Afrika-Amerika jika terpilih, mengecam Cruz atas larangan pengguguran di negeri itu yang merupakan salah satu yang paling ketat di negara ini dan tidak membenarkan pengecualian dalam kes rogol atau inses. Isu itu adalah penting bagi kempen underdog Allred dan penyokongnya termasuk wanita Texas yang mengalami komplikasi kehamilan yang serius selepas larangan di negeri itu berkuat kuasa. Ketika ditekan mengenai sama ada beliau menyokong undang-undang Texas, Cruz berkata spesifikasi undang-undang pengguguran telah dan sepatutnya diputuskan oleh Badan Perundangan Texas. “Saya tidak berkhidmat dalam Badan Perundangan negeri. Saya bukan gabenor,” katanya. Cruz kemudian mengecam Allred atas sokongan beliau terhadap hak transgender dan polisi imigresen Presiden Joe Biden dan Harris, menuduhnya mengalihkan pandangannya mengenai keselamatan sempadan daripada kedudukan yang diambilnya ketika beliau pertama kali dipilih ke Kongres pada tahun 2018. “Apa yang selalu saya katakan ialah kita mesti memastikan bahawa ketika kita bercakap mengenai keselamatan sempadan, kita tidak jatuh ke dalam pendemonstrasian,” kata Allred. Allred menuduh senator Amerika Syarikat dua penggal itu menyalahtafsirkan rekodnya dan berulang kali menyindir Cruz atas semasa ribut musim sejuk maut pada tahun 2021 yang melumpuhkan grid tenaga negeri itu. Kali terakhir Cruz berada dalam undi pada tahun 2018, beliau hanya menewaskan pencabar Beto O’Rourke. Debat itu menawarkan Allred, bekas pemain bola sepak NFL, peluang untuk meningkatkan pengenalan namanya kepada khalayak Texas yang luas. Allred telah menjadikan perlindungan hak pengguguran sebagai teras kempennya dan telah mengkritik tajam larangan pengguguran di negeri itu. Isu itu telah menjadi isu kemenangan untuk Demokrat, walaupun di negeri-negeri merah seperti Kentucky dan Kansas, sejak keputusan Mahkamah Agung Amerika Syarikat pada tahun 2022 untuk mencabut perlindungan perlembagaan untuk pengguguran. Cruz, yang dengan cepat membuat nama untuk dirinya sendiri di Senat sebagai seorang konservatif yang tidak berkompromi, telah mengubah kempennya untuk memberi tumpuan kepada rekod perundangannya. Allred sementara itu telah berusaha untuk memaparkan kelayakan sederhana dan mendapat sokongan daripada bekas Rep. Amerika Syarikat dari parti Republik, Adam Kinzinger dan Liz Cheney. Kedua-dua calon sahaja telah mengumpul hampir $100 juta, menurut laporan terkini daripada Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya Persekutuan. Puluhan juta dolar lagi telah dibelanjakan oleh kumpulan luar, menjadikannya salah satu perlumbaan paling mahal di negara ini. Walaupun reputasi Texas sebagai sebuah negeri merah tua dan kemarau negeri selama 30 tahun Demokrat, parti itu semakin optimis dalam tahun-tahun kebelakangan ini bahawa mereka boleh menang di sini. Sejak bekas Presiden Barack Obama kalah di Texas dengan lebih daripada 15 mata peratusan pada tahun 2012, margin telah menurun dengan stabil. Bekas Presiden menang dengan 9 mata peratusan pada tahun 2016, dan empat tahun kemudian, menang dengan kurang daripada 6. Itu adalah kemenangan paling tipis bagi calon presiden Republik di Texas sejak tahun 1996. “Texas adalah sebuah negeri merah,” kata Mark Jones, seorang profesor sains politik di Universiti Rice di Houston. “Tetapi ia bukan sebuah negeri merah ruby.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Fujitsu to combat fake news in collaboration with leading Japanese organizations JCN Newswire

Fujitsu to combat fake news in collaboration with leading Japanese organizations

TOKYO, Oct 16, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu today announced that it has begun a project to develop a disinformation countermeasure platform alongside a consortium of leading academic and private sector organizations. Fujitsu was selected as a primary operator for this initiative in July 2024 through a public call for proposals by Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (“NEDO”) (1). The effort is part of the Key and Advanced Technology R&D through Cross Community Collaboration Program (“K Program”) (2), which was established with the collabor"ation of Japan’s Cabinet Office, the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), and other related Japanese ministries, to strengthen and drive Japan’s economic security. The consortium, assembled by Fujitsu, includes the National Institute of Informatics (NII), NEC Corporation, Keio Research Institute at SFC, Institute of Science Tokyo (formerly Tokyo Tech), The University of Tokyo, University of Aizu, Nagoya Institute of Technology, and Osaka University.The project aims to develop the world’s first comprehensive disinformation countermeasure platform that can process false information from initial detection to evidence gathering, analysis, and evaluation, with development slated for completion by the end of fiscal year 2025.Vivek Mahajan, Corporate Vice President, CTO, CPO, Fujitsu Limited, comments: “We are excited to be working on this initiative with a top-tier consortium of Japanese academic and private sector organizations that have a proven track record of combating disinformation. In addition to our consortium partners, Fujitsu will collaborate with relevant government agencies and other organizations to develop a robust countermeasure solution and contribute to solving this serious societal challenge.”Figure 1. Consortium member organizationsAs prime operator of this project, Fujitsu will lead the R&D efforts, technology integration, and construction of the overall platform. Leveraging the latest trends in disinformation tactics and technologies, Fujitsu will also create use cases for public and private sector organizations, facilitating the practical application of the research findings.Technology to be developed and consortium roles1. Information analysis by media type and disinformation detection (Responsible parties: NII, NEC)NIILeveraging its track record in the field of fake media detection, NII will develop a technology to detect deepfakes of images, video and audio from social media posts and other content. The technology will identify how the media content has been created and any areas that have been manipulated and assign a confidence score which will be provided as supporting evidence.NECNEC will develop media understanding technology that extracts content including images, video and audio as text and uses it to analyze matches with social media posts and to collect supporting information.2. Evidence/endorsement management (Responsible parties: Keio Research Institute at SFC, Fujitsu, Osaka University)Keio Research Institute at SFC and FujitsuKeio Research Institute at SFC which has a track record in the field of trusted internet architecture and Fujitsu develop technology to integrate evidence collected from the internet, including the analysis results from technology 1 above. This evidence will be structured and stored as an evidence/endorsement graph (3) to verify authenticity and assess impact.Osaka UniversityOsaka University will leverage its expertise in IoT data analysis to develop technology to collect sensor data as a source of evidence. In cases where information for the target area is incomplete, the system will infer evidence based on available data from neighboring areas. This proactive, AI-driven evidence gathering, mimicking human information collection and inference, is a highly advanced initiative.3. Comprehensive authenticity determination (Responsible parties: Fujitsu, Nagoya Institute of Technology)Fujitsu- Fujitsu will develop technology to analyze the consistency of evidence linked to target information using evidence/endorsement graphs from technology 2. This technology enables comprehensive information authenticity analysis, presenting the results and supporting evidence in a user-friendly manner.- Fujitsu will also develop a specialized Japanese LLM for disinformation countermeasures, utilizing its supercomputer (Fugaku) and LLM (Takane) expertise. This specialized LLM will enhance comprehension of news and social media data, improve logical reasoning capabilities, and enable high-speed, high-accuracy inference for authenticity verification while mitigating hallucinations.Nagoya Institute of TechnologyFujitsu will collaborate with Nagoya Institute of Technology to develop a user interface and information provision technology based on cognitive science, considering factors related to human psychology (e.g., continued influence effect). This will help users to accurately judge the truthfulness of information and encourage appropriate actions, including making efforts to avoid the unintentional spread of false information.4. Evaluation of disinformation impact (Responsible parties: Institute of Science Tokyo, The University of Tokyo, Aizu University)Institute of Science Tokyo, The University of Tokyo, and University of Aizu, with their expertise in computational social science related to social media, will develop technology to assess the impact of disinformation. By extending LLMs to build an AI model for disinformation assessment, the three parties will analyze characteristics of disinformation, such as similarity to past disinformation and proliferation speed, focusing on the source, content, and social context of messages from social media data. This will allow for the evaluation of metrics such as proliferation scale and social impact. This development of technology to visualize and quantitatively assess the social impact of disinformation represents a highly advanced endeavor.Figure 2. Diagram of the disinformation countermeasure platformFuture PlansIn fiscal year 2024, the project will focus on analyzing use cases for private companies and public institutions, defining functional requirements, and initiating R&D of individual technologies, with the final system scheduled for development by the end of fiscal year 2025.By developing this platform, Fujitsu and its consortium partners aim to contribute to economic stability in the face of increasing disinformation risk and with NEDO’s support aid in increasing new industry development, international competitiveness, and strengthening Japan’s global position.Comments from partner academic-industrial organizationsProf. Junichi Yamagishi, National Institute of Informatics, comments:“Combating disinformation demands a sophisticated, integrated arsenal of technologies. Leveraging years of cutting-edge research in technology for detecting fake media, we are going to create a robust foundation for a powerful disinformation defense system.”Motoo Nishihara, Corporate Executive Vice President and CTO, NEC Corporation, comments:"We are excited to join this important initiative.

Empowering Audiences: The Role of Content and Connectivity in Vietnam’s Media Evolution ACN Newswire

Empowering Audiences: The Role of Content and Connectivity in Vietnam’s Media Evolution

HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM, Oct 16, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Over 100 industry delegates from across Asia gathered at the Asia Video Industry Association’s (AVIA) Vietnam in View conference, opened by the Deputy Director General of the Authority for Broadcast and Electronic Information (ABEI), Nguyen Ha Yen, on 9 October in Ho Chi Minh City.Despite the challenges of 2023 in the post-Covid landscape, the pay TV market in Vietnam continued to evolve, achieving a 4% increase in revenue and a 14% rise in subscriptions compared to 2022, as noted by Deputy Director General Nguyen. He emphasized that, amid fierce competition and rapid changes in consumer behaviour and technology, developing new business models for sustainable growth was essential for the future of pay TV. Both regulatory bodies and industry leaders will play crucial roles in shaping this strategic direction, he added.This was further reiterated by Thanh Vu, Deputy Regional Managing Director and Representative, US-ASEAN Business Council, in his market overview of Vietnam. Vietnam was fast approaching market maturity, with total subscriptions at almost 20 million, with 5.8% annual growth since 2018. And with pay TV penetration at 66%, there was still lots of room for growth, shared Thanh Vu. However, the clear winner was OTT and IPTV, which had become mainstream, and its revenue share accelerating from just 11% in 2019 to 45% by end of 2023, almost catching up with cable TV. Despite a sharp decline in subscriptions over the past 4 years and a modest subscription share of only 20% today, cable still accounted for over 50% of total Pay TV revenue.However regardless of platform, content very much remained the key driver for consumers, and critical to the business, said Pham Thanh Phuong, Managing Director, Viettel TV360. Offering the largest mobile and fixed-line network infrastructure in the Vietnamese market, with up to 80 million mobile broadband subscribers, bundling television and fixed broadband services was essential for them, and the smartest and fastest way to acquire the largest television customer base at the lowest cost and in the shortest time. But to keep their customers in the ecosystem, differentiation was important, especially from the international OTT platforms. “When we invest in local content, we can create a difference,” said Phuong.This sentiment was also clearly presented in the data from Kantar Media, on Who’s Watching What, Where and How in Vietnam. Local content reigned supreme across linear viewing, rounding up the top 10 most watched titles, with local Vietnamese series also driving over 30% of non-linear viewing. And from a platform perspective, the two most important devices were the Connected TV (CTV) and the smartphone, with CTV penetration at a striking 91% in the market. “It’s not a case of linear TV being replaced by video on demand, but that they complement each other. For the TV industry to develop, we must find out a way to serve the target audience according to their needs," said Tran Thi Thanh Mai, General Director, Kantar Media Vietnam.For Esther Nguyen, Founder & CEO, POPS Worldwide, their content strategy was always to look at the audience first, and the lifetime value of that audience, and serving the content that they want to watch, when they want to watch and on the platform of their choice. However, “playing in the digital world and operating among many different platforms is a double-edged sword,” shared Nguyen. “Platforms are global and have democratized content and what audiences watch. Audiences are now open to watching content from all over the world. We are no longer competing with just local content, but with global content,” she surmised in her closing keynote session.Vietnam in View is proudly sponsored by Lead Sponsor Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA); Silver Sponsors A+E Networks Asia, INVIDI, PubMatic and TV5MONDE.Visit our media gallery for photos from event.About the Asia Video Industry AssociationThe Asia Video Industry Association (AVIA) is the trade association for the video industry and ecosystem in Asia Pacific.

Kamala Harris Boleh Menang Dengan Menerima Rekod Biden-Harris berita

Kamala Harris Boleh Menang Dengan Menerima Rekod Biden-Harris

(SeaPRwire) - Dalam temu bualnya baru-baru ini di The View, Naib Presiden Kamala Harris ditanya tentang apa yang membezakannya daripada Presiden Joe Biden. Soalan itu menunjukkan bahawa bagi Harris untuk menang, dia mesti menunjukkan bagaimana dia berbeza daripada Joe Biden. Kami percaya bahawa dia boleh mengatasi kepalsuan Donald Trump dengan menyatakan dengan tegas kejayaan sebenar pentadbiran Biden-Harris, bermula dengan ekonomi. Setakat ini, dia telah dengan bangga menggelarkan dirinya sebagai "kapitalis" yang mempromosikan program-program yang menyokong pertumbuhan perniagaan, dari perniagaan kecil hingga syarikat gergasi global, di samping mencadangkan potongan cukai untuk syarikat permulaan, mengekalkan dasar perdagangan yang munasabah, dan menjanjikan kebebasan daripada . Bagi mata pembezaan yang lain, Harris tidak seharusnya cuba untuk memisahkan dirinya daripada kejayaan agenda ekonomi Biden-Harris. Dia harus menyelaraskan dirinya dengan pentadbiran sehampir mungkin - pentadbiran yang baru saja mencatatkan peningkatan yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya dalam pasaran saham (S&P 500) dalam tempoh satu tahun. Tokoh utama dalam kedua-dua parti, pengulas media, dan pengundi telah menjadi mangsa mesej Trump, mendorong naib presiden untuk meminta maaf atas kemerosotan ekonomi yang tidak dapat dijelaskan daripada meraikan kejayaan daripada pencapaian bersejarah. Data tinjauan pendapat secara konsisten menunjukkan Harris bergelut untuk meyakinkan pengundi, terutamanya mereka di negeri-negeri medan perang dan lelaki muda, tentang kekuatan rekod Biden-Harris, termasuk ekonomi, imigresen, dan dasar luar. Mesej semasa jelas tidak berkesan. Sudah tiba masanya untuk menerima fakta dan mengubah naratif. telah sama kuat di bawah Biden-Harris seperti di bawah pentadbiran Trump, walaupun kerana kesan negatif pada tahun terakhir penggal presiden terdahulu. Malah, Bank Dunia telah menyemak semula unjuran pertumbuhan globalnya ke atas terutamanya disebabkan oleh pertumbuhan yang lebih kuat di Amerika Syarikat. Walaupun mewarisi pasaran kerja dalam akibat pandemik, Biden-Harris memimpin tenaga kerja Amerika keluar daripada kesusahan dengan lebih daripada 15 juta pekerjaan, mengakibatkan pengangguran. Sekali lagi, Biden-Harris telah mencatatkan pertumbuhan pekerjaan yang lebih kuat daripada Trump walaupun bagi COVID-19 dengan lebih daripada 3 juta pekerjaan, termasuk 50% lebih banyak dalam sektor pembuatan. Gaji sebenar kini meningkat pada kadar 1.5%, ekonomi Trump sebelum pandemik. Dari segi dolar, pertumbuhan pendapatan telah pertumbuhan harga dengan lebih daripada $3,500 sejak Biden-Harris berkuasa. Manfaat pendapatan adalah ketara dalam pendapatan peribadi boleh guna sebenar yang telah sejak Februari 2020, sebelum sebarang gangguan pandemik. Gajah dalam bilik ialah inflasi - yang telah ke julat sasaran Fed pada 2.2% selepas lebih daripada pembacaan di atas julat. Walaupun harga telah meningkat pada kadar yang tidak selesa untuk semua orang, inflasi telah terutama disebabkan oleh , bukan keputusan dasar yang dipacu oleh sama ada pentadbiran Trump atau Biden-Harris. Malah, Eropah, termasuk Jerman dan UK, serta Asia Pasifik juga menghadapi puncak inflasi (2022). Biden-Harris telah berusaha untuk meleraikan rantaian bekalan, mengurangkan inflasi harga, walaupun siri kenaikan kadar faedah oleh Fed. Pengeluaran minyak, gas asli, dan tenaga boleh diperbaharui masing-masing telah mencapai di bawah Biden-Harris - terutamanya ditandai dengan pengeluaran minyak yang meningkat tong sehari berbanding Trump dan sama ada Rusia atau Arab Saudi. Harga gas telah dari paras tertinggi pada 2022, hasil daripada perang Rusia-Ukraine, dengan lebih daripada 30% dan kekal stabil tanpa mengira ketegangan di Timur Tengah. Dan bagi mereka yang menyalahkan Biden-Harris tentang harga telur, kuning telur terletak pada mereka, kerana selesema burung telah ayam pengeluar telur. percaya dasar kempen yang dicadangkan oleh Trump akan menyebabkan inflasi, kadar faedah, dan defisit yang lebih tinggi berbanding dengan yang dicadangkan oleh Harris. Sesetengah anggaran menjangkakan cadangan Trump akan meningkatkan defisit fiskal sebanyak lebih daripada Harris. Trump telah berjaya mencipta naratif balas dan telah melakukannya sejak kempen presiden pertamanya, ketika bekas presiden berjanji untuk melabur dalam infrastruktur Amerika dan membawa kembali pekerjaan pembuatan. Dia mengenai yang terakhir, terutamanya berbanding dengan Biden-Harris, dan gagal menyampaikan mengenai yang pertama. Biden-Harris telah mencipta hampir sebanyak pekerjaan pembuatan dan mengaktifkan lebih daripada dalam infrastruktur maju dan asas melalui Akta Cip dan Sains, Akta Infrastruktur dan Pekerjaan, dan Akta Pengurangan Inflasi. Gabungan faktor ini, serta tahap kestabilan pasaran yang tidak wujud di bawah pentadbiran Trump, telah mendorong S&P 500 untuk mencatatkan dalam tahun ini sahaja di bawah Biden-Harris dan memberikan pulangan kepada pulangan Trump. Beralih kepada imigresen dan keselamatan sempadan, yang pernah menjadi isu sensitif bagi Biden-Harris, pertemuan sempadan bulanan telah ke seperti Trump dan Obama - penggal kedua Obama sebenarnya mempunyai bilangan yang lebih rendah daripada Trump secara purata. Harris telah berjanji untuk membina atas peningkatan semasa dengan keselamatan sempadan yang kuat dan dasar imigresen yang munasabah. Sebagai peguam negara California, Harris menunjukkan untuk bersikap tegas mengenai penguatkuasaan apabila dia mengambil tindakan keras terhadap geng rentas sempadan. Akhir sekali, walaupun Trump suka bahawa konflik Rusia-Ukraine dan Timur Tengah tidak akan berlaku di bawah pimpinannya, kepimpinan Amerika di pentas dunia telah menyaksikan dalam keyakinan rakan sebaya di bawah kepimpinan Biden-Harris. Walaupun untuk mengakhiri konflik Rusia-Ukraine sebelum hari pelantikannya, jika terpilih, Trump tidak menawarkan penjelasan mengenai bagaimana - selain penghujahan mengenai hubungannya dengan Putin. Sementara itu, Biden-Harris telah memimpin usaha tindak balas antarabangsa untuk dan memperoleh bernilai sokongan ketenteraan dwipartisan untuk mengekang konflik. Pentadbiran Biden-Harris telah menghidupkan semula ekonomi terbesar di dunia daripada kemuncak COVID-19, sambil menyamai atau mengatasi bekas presiden dalam semua metrik utama. Naib Presiden Harris masih mempunyai masa untuk memerangi maklumat palsu Trump dan mengubah naratif.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
