Jolly Good and Teijin Pharma Form a Partnership to Develop VR Digital Therapeutics for Depression

Background of this agreement

This all started when Jolly Good won "Home Healthcare Award" in a program held by Teijin in Dec., 2020. Focusing of Jolly Good’s development of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy VR ("CBT VR") for psychiatric disorders, this partnership will leverage Jolly Good’s VR technology and Teijin Pharma’s expertise in knowledge and strategic skills. They have agreed that they can support healthcare workers as well as improving the quality of life of patients.

From now on, Jolly Good and Teijin Pharma will continue to develop the system and perform clinical trials to register for PMDA regulatory approval.

About Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ("CBT") is a psychotherapy supporting patients to change their thoughts and behaviors by talking to a therapist. This therapy is based on the theory that your cognition on how you perceive things affects your mental and behavior pattern. CBT has been used as one of the options for non-medical treatment. 

Our developing CBT VR for depression will be used as a supplement to the actual face-to-face therapy, supporting parts such as emotional behavior or bias of perspective. Not only will it improve the effectiveness of the treatment, but it will also lessen the burden of both healthcare workers and patients.

What is a DTx division (https://vrdtx.com/en)

Jolly Good established "DTx division" in April this year, consisting of psychiatrist, regulatory specialists, and business producers familiar with VR training for people with developmental disorders. This division will focus on developing the fundamental system of digital therapeutics using VR.

DTx division will expand their pipeline to other psychiatric diseases and lifestyle diseases using the fundamental system of VR DTx.

Solid-state battery maker ProLogium receives another Edison Award

Leave a comment

TAIPEI, April 23, 2021 — The 2021 Edison Awards gala was held in Fort Meyers, Florida on Thursday, April 22. Solid-state battery maker ProLogium has been awarded a bronze award. ProLogium has been selected as a finalist for the category of Critical Human Infrastructure. The three finalists in the subcategory are all outstanding examples of utilizing technology innovation as a means to promote safety and efficiency of electricity use. ProLogium is chosen for its proprietary ASM (Active Safety Mechanism) technology designed for battery safety. Winners are decided by the votes of 3,000 senior industry leaders, making the award a truly special honor.

Founded in 1987, the Edison Awards is an annual celebration of innovative technology highlighting excellent inventions for the betterment of human life. ProLogium is the only solid-state battery company in the world that has been recognized two times in the Awards’ over 100 years of history. Back in 2019, ProLogium won its first Edison Gold Award for its patented BiPolar+ technology. The BiPolar+ technology took solid-state battery performance to a whole new level, while the ASM technology guarantees absolute safety. This signifies another major step forward for the application of solid-state battery in EV cars.

Why did ProLogium want to develop the ASM technology for the market?

Absolute safety can only be achieved when battery safety is assured at the cell level. Unsafe cells can lead to the risk of thermal runaway even when the module is well protected. Solid-state battery is intrinsically safe because of its use of solid-state electrolyte. This means passive safety is guaranteed. However, when large quantities of electrodes and cells are densely packed and stacked, innovative technology is needed to enable active safety.

The ASM, or Active Safety Mechanism, is a technology developed by ProLogium that actively terminates the thermal runaway reaction and ensures the safety of battery cells. The ASM is unlike any other active safety mechanism that came before it. We have seen mechanisms using flame retardant to reduce combustion, or adding additives to slow down the electrochemistry and delay thermal runaway. However, these methods will inevitably hinder battery performance. That is why ProLogium decided to take a more fundamental approach and develop a mechanism that reduces energy and prevents thermal runaway.

"We believe that ASM is the only way to absolute safety for EV and ESS battery. With the ASM technology, we are able to fulfill our commitment to battery safety. We hope to combine the ASM with the MAB, ProLogium’s propriety modular technology, and introduce our battery module to the market, so that we can help automotive OEMs as well as customers with needs for large-capacity battery packs to optimize their product performance and eliminate any risk of fire or explosion. In other words, we can make truly safe battery with excellent mileage capacity and usher in a new era for solid-state battery." CEO of ProLogium, Vincent Yang said in an interview.

As stated by Martin Eberhard, co–founder, original CEO and chairman of Tesla, "ProLogium’s solid-state electrolyte battery technology is the most exciting new development I have seen in this field. The combination of safety, aging characteristics, fast charge rate, and bipolar packaging, all without sacrifice energy density, and at a competitive price, make ProLogium cells the best I have seen for automotive applications."

WiMi Hologram Obtains Patent for Holographic Real-Time Imaging System with Atomized Particle Sizes between 2μm to 4μm

Leave a comment

BEIJING, April 23, 2021 — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (Nasdaq: WIMI) ("WiMi" or the "Company"), a leading Hologram Augmented Reality ("AR") Technology provider, today announced that it has obtained a patent (the "Patent") for its holographic real-time imaging system with atomized particle sizes between 2μm to 4μm. The Patent has demonstrated the ongoing progress of WiMi’s independent R&D efforts and enabled WiMi to further refine its IP protection system, fortify its technology leadership, and enhance its core competitiveness.

The holographic real-time imaging system (the "System") covered by the Patent has replaced the traditional dry plates with a spatial light modulator that is capable of achieving real-time optical production through the utilization of computer-generated digital holograms. Compared with traditional optical holography technology, the System has a series of advantages, such as a computer interface, user-friendly operations, and real-time displays.

The System also includes an input module, a carrier module, and a screen module. The input module is based on a computer-generated hologram. The carrier module is comprised of a laser, an expanded beam collimator lens, a polarizer, a spatial light modulator, a deflector, and a Fourier lens. The laser’s beam output passes through these components to project the object in the input module onto the screen module.

The System also creates a hologram database to store experimental and background holographic data. During the data collection process, the System deletes the original data from prior hologram experiments, obtains the droplet atomization data, and conducts grayscale processing for the droplet atomization data. After median filtering, data binarization, and the filling process, the System obtains and calibrates the graphically filled holographic data. The screen module comprises a holographic electrostatic atomizer, which produces atomization particles that are between 2μm and 4μm in size and have atomization volumes between 100ml/h and 150ml/h to form particle curtains that are between 3cm and 20cm in width. In addition, the System has adopted transmissive and electrically addressable spatial light modulation for its spatial light modulator.

The complexity of the non-uniform electric field along with the interconnection between the electric field and the flow field have resulted in increased difficulties throughout the holographic electrostatic atomization crushing process. Consequently, the System utilizes a dual-phase liquid holographic electrostatic atomization device to combine pressure atomization with holographic electrostatic atomization for algorithmic processing. First, the algorithms process the holographic electrostatic atomization and liquid charging mode. After this is completed, the System establishes a mathematical algorithm model for the non-dimensional distribution of atomized droplets. Lastly, the System combines its mathematical algorithm model with another non-dimensional distribution algorithm model to conduct voltage and air measurements.

The Patent also covers holographic electrostatic nebulization, which leverages the interactions between the electric field force, Coulomb force, droplet surface tension, and droplet surface stickiness to achieve nebulization. Compared with other atomization methods, holographic electrostatic atomization has the advantages of smaller atomization particle sizes, a singular particle size, and wide spatial dispersion. By controlling the parameters of different algorithms, the System can achieve atomization sizes between 2μm and 4μm for different atomized particles. Holographic electrostatic atomization can now be adopted in a wide variety of areas, including medical, industrial, environmental, transportation, electrostatic imaging, 3D printing, and electric vehicles, as well as in other fields in the future.

1080p Full HD Comes to PlayStation Now!

Leave a comment

Sony is one of the most successful brands in gaming and they are sort of expected to get cloud gaming right. They have the expertise and infrastructure to do so, in the eyes of many in the industry at least. So far though, the reception and implementation has been less than stellar at best; but it works. Do not get us wrong though, cloud gaming is a great alternative to buying your own consoles or build expensive gaming PCs at this day and age, especially when everything is in shortage. To be fair, we have not even gotten our hands on a PlayStation 5 yet.

In that case, Sony’s announcement and launch to PlayStation Now is a great welcome to not just us. It is a huge welcome to people who are stuck at home due to the pandemic in 2020; that is almost every single one person in the world. It is a big welcome to those who cannot afford a console, or even a gaming PC at the moment. It is also the perfect solution to portable gaming, because you can technically play games on your GPU-less slim and light notebook PC. You can technically play games on PlayStation Now on your TV without ever owning a console.

There are some good things to PlayStation Now. Other than playing it on your PC and on your TV without a console, you can do it over your PlayStation 4 as well. While you can only play at 720p, it also means that you spend less on buying games since it is a subscription-based service. You also do not need the game to be installed in your console, which also means you do not need to upgrade your HDD or SSDs when it gets full in the console. The best thing is though, you get to play all of PlayStation’s exclusive titles and all the AAA titles available to the PlayStation console with one subscription. From plenty of reports too, PlayStation Now works, and that matters.

There is a caveat though, you were only streaming the games over at 720p. There are some obvious reasons why, which we will not get into in this article. But that caveat may be no more.

Sony PlayStation has just announced that Full HD 1080p streaming will be available starting this week. Implementations globally will vary depending on regions, but it will happen across regions that already has PlayStation Now available. The addition of Full HD streams also comes with a slew of new games to play from April 2021 onward.

There are no mentions yet on whether Full HD 1080p game streaming will be available across the entire PlayStation Now platform or limited to selected games. The Full HD 1080p stream though brings PlayStation Now up to par with game streaming services like Amazon’s Luna which streams games at a maximum of Full HD 1080p. Google Stadia still boasts 4K resolution support for selected titles, to a degree of success. Competing streaming services are also testing and moving toward Full HD 1080p support so we can expect more cloud gaming services to join PlayStation Now to offer Full HD 1080p gaming experience; a big step up from HD 720p.

Sony’s PlayStation Now is not officially available in Malaysia just yet. If you are planning to look into getting PlayStation Now though, subscriptions start at US$ 9.99 (MYR 41*) a month onward. For now, if you already own a PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 console but still want to have the freedom to game anywhere, there is PS Remote Play available as long as you can hook yourself up to a stable high-speed internet connection anywhere in the world.

One of the most popular anime and manga series is coming to an end! Shingeki no Kyojin, better known as Attack on Titan, closes its more than a decade run as a manga and anime. To commemorate the closing of an adventure, TikTok is bringing exclusive Attack on Titan features to their app.

The features come as part of a new hashtag challenge. With the current season of the popular anime having ended on a gripping cliffhanger, TikTok is encouraging fans to share their love of the series through new, creative, short-form content using a slew of new effects which are available starting on April 16, 2021.

Of course, don’t forget to tag your creations with the hashtag #AttackonTitan. If you do, you’ll be taking part in TikTok’s latest hashtag challenge and will be in the running to win some exclusive Attack on Titan merchandise. These include a limited edition Survey Corps cloak, a diary-type smartphone case and official tote bags. The challenge kicked off on 16th April and will end on 31st May.

New effects include Titan Roulette which allows fans to find out which of the 9 key types of titans they are from the Attack on Titan. Since you’ve found out what Titan you are, why not terrorise the Shiganshina District with the Colossal Titan Green Screen. If being a Titan isn’t enough, you’ll be able to recreate some of the most iconic moments from your favourite characters in the series by mimicking their expressions.

If you haven’t heard of Attack on Titan – WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THIS TIME?! Just kidding. You’ll be able to get in on the much-loved anime on Netflix if you’re in Malaysia. Otherwise, you can follow the adventures of Eren Yeager as he joins the elite Survey Corps to get revenge on the Titans which have driven humanity to the brink of extinction on platforms like Crunchyroll.
