WILMINGTON, Del., June 26, 2020 — Uploadcare became one of the three best cloud solutions at Nanjing Tech Week 2020 Competition. This is one of the biggest tech festival and contest in the world, uniting innovative companies from all countries and industries. The winners can develop business at the Chinese Market.

This PaaS is featured with one of the world’s fastest file uploader, an automated storage, an AI-driven image transformations engine, and flexible content delivery solutions. This customer experience suit facilitates the complete media pipeline: from uploading files to delivering them adapted to the end-user context.

On 25th of June, 2020 Uploadcare took second place at Nanjing Tech Week Cloud Competition. In 2019 Uploadcare raised a $1.7 million seed round led by Runa Capital and Vendep Capital, with existing investors Vaizra Capital and LVL1 Group participating, as well.

"The deep understanding of developers, startups, and enterprises needs allows Uploadcare to offer its clients an all-in-one platform for online content optimization, delivering the proven business results," notes Jupe Arala, General Partner at Vendep Capital.

Uploadcare aims to grow together with actively enhancing digital industries, including e-commerce and e-learning. As the number of users increases, the pressure on these online platforms grows. The shortest delay in content delivery may turn into an increased bounce rate and significant revenue losses. So business owners have to successfully manage this traffic tidal wave while keeping customer experience satisfying.

New Uploadcare media pipeline help online platforms ensure fast and reliable digital learning experience while saving up to 92% on traffic and related costs. Modern file upload widget and Image CDN capable of image management and transformation help to easily handle content and automatically adapt it to user devices. On top of that, they can quickly scale their infrastructure according to the traffic load.

Uploadcare cloud platform driven by intelligence and featured with image uploader, CDN and optimizer can reduce the total image size by 80% due to smart image transformations. Such e-commerce CDN management reduced image hosting costs by 86% without any technical complications. Moreover, Uploadcare’s technology and backend support cut the development process by 3 months and made it $200,000 cheaper.

Uploadcare technology reduces not only image sizes, hosting costs, and development time, providing efficient file upload API and CDN image hosting. The company’s world’s fastest image resizing algorithm can save, roughly, 21.1 MWh energy annually, if it will replace every image resizing code on the planet.

"Our platform, featured with the fastest cloud uploader and the best image CDN, helps reduce tech costs and time spent on image optimization and manipulation. But at the end of the day, it helps turn the crisis into development," says Igor Debatur, CEO at Uploadcare.

ABB’s Integrated, Predictive Analytics-Capable TruONE ATS Wins Frost & Sullivan Innovation Award

Innovative TruONE automatic transfer switch meets evolving customer requirements by enabling a higher level of convenience, efficiency, and critical power reliability

SANTA CLARA, California, June 25, 2020 — Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Global New Product Innovation award to the company that has developed the most innovative element in a product by leveraging leading-edge technologies. The award recognizes the value-added features/benefits of the product and the increased return on investment (ROI) it gives customers, which, in turn, raises customer acquisition and overall market penetration potential.

Based on its analysis of the global transfer switch market, Frost & Sullivan awarded ABB the 2019 Global New Product Innovation Award for its TruONE automatic transfer switch (ATS).  ABB’s TruONE ATS is the first device of its kind to integrate sensors, controllers, switches, and operator interfaces into a single seamless unit. The integration enables the TruONE ATS to offer predictive analytics and condition monitoring capabilities that improve the reliability, safety, and efficiency of operations. TruONE also makes configuration and maintenance easier by replacing complex wiring and connections with a single, self-contained design.

“The TruONE ATS eliminates all wire harnesses, distributed electronics, voltage transformers, and external controllers by consolidating all parts. This simplicity of the product design not only shrinks the product footprint but also improves equipment reliability,” said Sama Suwal, Industry Analyst for Frost & Sullivan. “It also sets new industry standards for safety with its wholly isolated and detachable human machine interface (HMI), as it eliminates the need to connect potentially dangerous line voltage to the ATS enclosure door.”

Giampiero Frisio, managing director of ABB Smart Power, said, “ABB innovates to solve real-world problems for our customers. By integrating everything that critical power applications need into one seamless unit, the TruONE ATS is designed to make critical power simpler and more reliable. To receive recognition from the experts at Frost & Sullivan for this innovation is a fantastic achievement for the teams of engineers and designers behind the TruONE ATS.”

The TruONE ATS features several design and engineering improvements over conventional ATS devices, including more efficient load transfer due to an innovative contact construction using new materials and geometries. Its unprecedented flexibility in configuration enables future expansion, while its compact, lightweight form reduces the number of interconnects down to one. Elimination of relay-based accessories and the pre-assembled design of TruONE allows for faster installation and commissioning.

This state-of-the-art ATS device has multiple communication protocols, along with software-based solutions from the ABB Ability digital platform, which enables remote diagnostics and cloud-based monitoring of critical power systems. Furthermore, the TruONE ATS’ built-in predictive maintenance and condition monitoring features reduce the cost of operation and maintenance of the equipment. Owing to its wide voltage range of 200 to 480 VAC (+/- 20 percent tolerance), OEMs and distributors can simplify stocking, installation, and service while guaranteeing high reliability of the equipment.

“ABB builds lasting relationships with its customers through an expansive support network, strong technical product expertise, and deep industry experience,” noted Suwal. “The TruONE ATS’ distinctive features such as predictive maintenance, self-diagnostics, and customer-replaceable critical modules for easier commissioning, installation, and operation have positioned it ideally to meet customers’ most challenging demands.”

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

iQIYI Announces Winners of its iCartoonFace Challenge, the First Large-scale Cartoon Character Recognition Competition in China

World-leading iCartoonFace datasets drive intelligent recognition technology

BEIJING, June 25, 2020 — iQIYI Inc. (NASDAQ: IQ) ("iQIYI" or the "Company"), an innovative market-leading online entertainment service in China, today announced the winners of its iCartoonFace Challenge (the "Challenge"), the first large-scale cartoon character recognition competition in China. The team from Southeast University won the Challenge with a MAP (Mean Average Precision) of 0.9291 in the cartoon character detection track and the teams from Zhejiang University and Sun Yat-sen University jointly claimed the title of Best Algorithm in the cartoon character recognition track with a Rank1 accuracy of 92.4697%.

The Challenge, held in partnership with the 29th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) and the 17th Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (PRICAI), was held over a period of two months, attracting a total of 481 participating teams from top universities and leading technology firms in China. Contestants included Peking University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as renowned companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, JD.com and SenseTime.

While human facial recognition technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated and mature, cartoon character recognition is still in its infancy. Cartoon characters are far more complicated and diverse than human faces in terms of both color and texture. Other challenges include the fact that cartoon characters from the same content or universe could be highly similar in appearance, but characters from different universes may vastly contrast. Due to the complexity of this dataset, cartoon character recognition poses far more challenges than human facial recognition.

Currently, most of the existing cartoon datasets for recognition suffer from issues such as lack of data volume or noisy data. During the Challenge, iQIYI offered contestants access to the largest known manually tagged datasets in the world for cartoon detection and recognition that contains over 5,000 cartoon characters and more than 400,000 high-quality and authentic images.

iQIYI is committed to researching cutting-edge technologies and exploring their applications in entertainment. iQIYI has in the past two years successfully held two video-based multimodal biometric recognition challenges which helped significantly improve the accuracy of multimodal recognition technology. Currently, cartoon character recognition has been applied to multiple innovative businesses and features of iQIYI’s. For example, AIWorks can automatically collect cartoon character content to generate a mixed-cut video based on a specific theme; and a feature known as Qiguan (AI Radar) allows users to identify the cartoon characters in an animated show or movie.

Through the iCartoonFace Challenge held in partnership with IJCAI and PRICAI, iQIYI has achieved further breakthroughs in the field of cartoon detection and recognition, promoted the development of cartoon character recognition technology, enabled a deep integration of technology and content that could lead to more usage scenarios, thereby advancing the ongoing evolution of intelligent detection and recognition technology.

About iQIYI, Inc.
iQIYI, Inc. is an innovative market-leading online entertainment service in China. Its corporate DNA combines creative talent with technology, fostering an environment for continuous innovation and the production of blockbuster content. iQIYI’s platform features highly popular original content, as well as a comprehensive library of other professionally-produced content, partner-generated content and user generated content.

Herta Awarded the Highly Competitive “COVID-19 Response Seal of Excellence” From the European Commission

BARCELONA, Spain, June 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In May 2020, Herta was awarded with the COVID-19 Seal of Excellence certificate delivered by the European Commission (EC) for the project AWARE.

Seal Of Excellence Herta
Seal Of Excellence Herta

AWARE was sent for evaluation to the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator Pilot. As stated by the EC, the EIC Accelerator Pilot offers Europe’s brightest and boldest entrepreneurs the chance to step forward and request funding for breakthrough ideas with the potential to create entirely new markets or revolutionize existing ones. Highly innovative SMEs with a clear commercial ambition and a potential for high growth and internationalization are the prime target. The 20th of March 2020, the EC made an urgent call through the EIC Accelerator Pilot for technologies and innovations that could help in treating, testing, monitoring or other aspects of the Coronavirus outbreak.

The COVID-19 Seal of Excellence is a highly competitive quality label awarded to project proposals which were evaluated to have a high excellence and impact to deserve funding in this special call, but did not receive it due to current EC’s budgetary constraints.

AWARE proposes a hybrid edge and distributed solution for advanced video analytics, including real-time face recognition and crowd behaviour analysis. Part of the computing pipeline is executed on-premise, on low-power and small-size edge stations using Deep Neural Network accelerator hardware. This allows saving costs and increasing system’s scalability, efficiency and ease-of-installation. HERTA’s cutting-edge algorithms, which are able to identify people even when wearing masks and monitor crowd density, are integrated in the solution. The automatic control of social distancing and the identification of persons in access controls without the need of removing masks become vitally important to control the spread of COVID-19, and are Herta’s main focus to fight against the pandemic.
