Leave a comment

SAN FRANCISCO, March 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — MoEngage, the insights-led customer engagement platform, has debuted in The Forrester Wave™: Real-Time Interaction Management, Q1 2024 report under the “Contenders” category.

MoEngage has received top scores across the digital marketing and experience personalization criteria. MoEngage’s reference customers complimented its local on-the-ground support and its ability to integrate into their existing ecosystems. One customer also spoke about the support teams always being available during testing times.

“We are thrilled to make this debut as we are the youngest player in this space. Our founding principle at MoEngage was the understanding that consumer brands want to understand their customers and engage with them in real-time. However, they are hindered by legacy tools that focus on campaigns rather than the end consumer’s preferences.

Over time, our hypothesis has been proven correct. Last year, we successfully onboarded a record number of customers from outdated marketing clouds, including brands migrating from our largest competitor. This validates our belief that major consumer brands seek to upgrade their outdated marketing technology systems, which have become unnecessarily complex, frustrating to use, expensive, and resource-intensive. Over 1200 global brands from 60+ countries have chosen MoEngage due to our comprehensive product offerings, innovation, user-friendly interface, and ability to handle the complexities, security, scalability, and migration processes associated with enterprise-level operations,” said Raviteja Dodda, CEO and Co-founder of MoEngage.

Last year, MoEngage made significant investments to strengthen its personalization suite and bridge the gap between businesses and consumers. The company developed products to ensure enterprise brands could access the latest channels and capabilities, including generative AI from a single platform. This has helped MoEngage’s enterprise customers simplify the tech stack and eliminate the need to switch platforms while lowering the total cost of ownership. 

The Forrester WaveTM highlights Leaders, Strong Performers, Contenders, and Challengers. In its 30-criterion evaluation of real-time interaction management vendors, Forrester has identified the most significant ones and researched, analyzed, and scored them as part of this report. Forrester recommends brands look for providers that maximize cross-functional CX investments, facilitate the adoption of responsible AI, and help align customer outcomes with business goals.

WiMi Is Researching Blockchain Optimized Data Storage Model Based on Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) Sharding

Leave a comment

BEIJING, March 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI) (“WiMi” or the “Company”), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality (“AR”) Technology provider, today announced that it is researching a blockchain optimized data storage model based on Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) sharding. ELM is a machine learning algorithm based on artificial neural networks. The core idea of ELM is to initialize the connection weights between the input layer to the hidden layer randomly. Then through parsing, the connection weights between the output layer to the hidden layer are quickly calculated, and a simple and efficient neural network model is constructed by randomly generating the input weights and the bias of the hidden layer neurons. Compared with traditional neural network algorithms, ELM is characterized by fast training speed and strong generalization ability. Whereas sharding is a method of splitting data into multiple segments in a blockchain system, each of which can be processed and stored independently, sharding improves the performance of the blockchain system.

The ELM-based sharding blockchain data storage model divides the blockchain network into multiple shards, each of which needs to store and process only part of the blockchain’s data. Specifically, each slice only needs to store and verify the blocks and transaction data associated with it, without storing a full copy of the entire blockchain. This can greatly reduce storage requirements, lower storage costs, and improve the efficiency and performance of data synchronization. In this model, each slice can use ELM as its local storage and computation unit. ELM is an efficient machine learning algorithm with fast training and prediction capabilities. Each slice can use ELM to store and process its own blockchain data without relying on other slices or full nodes. This increases the efficiency of data storage and processing and reduces the dependency on full nodes.

Specifically, it is first necessary to split the original blockchain data into multiple segments and store these segments on different nodes, thus realizing the distributed management of data storage as well as achieving parallel processing of data. Each node only needs to store the sharding data it is responsible for, which greatly reduces the storage pressure of nodes. Each shard can be managed by one or more ELM nodes. ELM nodes use ELM algorithms to train and process the data. ELM is a fast and efficient machine learning algorithm that can process and analyze large amounts of data in a short period of time. Each ELM node can independently process and store the data sharding it is responsible for. This sharding technology improves the parallel processing of data, thus increasing the performance of the entire blockchain system. At the same time, since each node only needs to manage a portion of the data, it can reduce the cost of data storage and processing.

In addition, the ELM-based sharding technology can also provide higher data privacy and security. Since the data is partitioned into multiple segments and managed by different ELM nodes, even if one node is attacked or the data is leaked, it will not have an impact on the data integrity of the whole system.

The ELM-based sharding blockchain data storage model researched by WiMi can solve the problems of storage capacity and transaction speed faced by the traditional blockchain data storage model, reduce the storage cost, improve the efficiency and performance of data synchronization, and provide a more efficient way of data management and access to further improve the performance and scalability of the blockchain system. This model is of great significance in the application of blockchain technology and data storage models.

3D Printing Trailblazer ELEGOO Announces Initiative to Boost Women’s Roles in STEM

Leave a comment

SHENZHEN, China, March 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In celebration of International Women’s Day, ELEGOO, a trailblazer in the 3D printing industry, has initiated a project dedicated to inspiring and empowering women in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). This long-term endeavor is designed to highlight their stories and encourage a greater number of women to participate in these fields.

Annika Mordelt, a PhD researcher in neuroscience and immunology, is one of the women featured in the project. Specializing in stem cell disease modeling, Annika innovated a strategy for co-maturing immune cells and neurons from stem cells last year, enabling developmental interaction studies.

Throughout her research, Annika Mordelt has found 3D printing technology to be an invaluable tool. “In the field of stem cell research, scientists are engineering and 3D-printing with biomaterials to create platforms for the cells to grow in,” she said. “By adjusting parameters, we can create different platforms to study cell growth, proliferation rates, and general function in different environments. That can be customizable with the 3D printing.”

“Especially for students, during lectures or presentations, it’s nice to let people see the actual models we are doing. Not merely as 2D representations on a screen, but in their full 3D splendor, brought to life by 3D printers,” Annika explained.

Annika also discussed her journey’s challenges. She once equated scientific prowess with being less “girly”. However, her growth in the scientific world led to a realization: her off-work interests don’t define her research quality. Ultimately, it’s the research quality that matters, she doesn’t need to be less “girly” to excel as a scientist.

Moreover, Annika encourages other women in scientific research to be bold and try new things. “Don’t let anyone tell you what you can do or what you cannot do,” she said. For women who underestimate themselves and stick to mastered areas, Annika said, “you can learn and grow into things. Trust yourself more and dive into the things that you always wanted to know more about it.”

Rebecca Ngau, branding director of ELEGOO, said, “as a 3D printing leader, we’ll continue to highlight the achievements of women in the field. Our goal is to promote gender equality and diversity, inspiring more women to delve into STEM and the exciting realm of 3D printing.”

Equipped with the efficient and reliable Dual Inverter Heat Pump Compressor™, LG’s innovative air conditioner performs reliably in any season and boasts an EU energy efficiency rating of A+++.1

Comfortable Air Flow
The air conditioner’s Soft Air function, created in response to consumer feedback, lets users enjoy customized cooling and a soothing, indirect breeze. When the function is activated, the lower vane closes so that air is discharged through the front-facing outlet only. Rather than being directed at sitting or standing height, the airflow moves downward from the ceiling for a gentler, more refreshing cooling experience.

Incorporating the innovative DUAL Vane™ system, the LG DUALCOOL air conditioner sends warm or cool air in multiple directions to deliver fast, effective temperature control. Its two independent vanes help extend airflow range to an impressive 22 meters; a 22 percent increase compared to previous models. It also outperforms single-vane solutions by up to 23 percent in cooling and 6 percent in heating.2 Moreover, the new air conditioner prioritizes user comfort with its effective airflow delivery method: channeling air upward and outward from above head-height when cooling, and sending airflow down toward the floor when heating. 

The latest DUALCOOL model also employs the company’s Human Detection Sensor™, which detects the distance between the air conditioner and the room’s occupant(s) and changes airflow mode (direct or indirect) accordingly. Users can adjust the sensor’s settings so that, based on their proximity to the indoor unit, the DUALCOOL will produce either direct, indirect or strong airflow.

Proactive Energy-Saving
With energy prices in the EU continuing to rise, customers across Europe are increasingly prioritizing efficiency when seeking new HVAC solutions for the home. Equipped with the Dual Inverter Heat Pump Compressor, as well as various smart energy management features, the DUALCOOL air conditioner can help lower the cost of household climate control. Achieving an A+++ European Energy-related Product (ErP) rating, the new model offers year-around efficiency with a 9.5 Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) in cooling operation and 5.1 Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) in heating.1

DUALCOOL users can save energy by setting up electricity-usage target with the kW Manager™. Through the ThinQ™ app, it makes it possible to monitor energy consumption in real time and can alert the user if the target they’ve established has been exceeded. Through regularly monitoring electricity usage and analyzing operating information, the kW Manager is able to determine the most energy-efficient range of operation for a variety of different scenarios.

Offering another way to help reduce running costs, the DUALCOOL’s Human Detecting Sensor automatically puts the air conditioner in energy-saving mode if no one is detected in the room. Meanwhile, the Window Open Detecting feature can prevent energy waste as well, activating energy-saving mode if the temperature in the room suddenly rises or falls.

Easy and Convenient Indoor Unit Care
The convenient Auto Cleaning™ feature automatically dries the DUALCOOL’s interior, boosting hygiene by removing any moisture and preventing mold from forming. Helping to maintain cleanliness inside the air conditioner during the colder months of the year, the Freeze Cleaning™ feature defrosts the heat exchanger to effectively wash away bacteria, dust, debris, and odor-causing contaminants.3

“Our latest LG DUALCOOL residential air conditioner is designed to provide optimal indoor comfort in all seasons,” said James Lee, head of the Air Solution Business Unit of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “LG is committed to setting new standards in home climate control and will continuously introduce high-efficiency and environmentally-friendly HVAC innovations.”

Visitors to MCE 2024 from March 12-15 can experience all of LG’s latest HVAC solutions, including the new LG DUALCOOL, at the company’s booth (#U28/Z16, Hall 5, Fiera Milano).

The new LG DUALCOOL air conditioner is set to launch in Italy on April, with availability in other EU countries.

1  Based on the energy labelling class for air conditioners in accordance with EU Regulation (EU) 2009/125/EC. The new DUALCOOL model satisfies the energy efficiency conditions of A+++ class with a 9.5 Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) in cooling operation and 5.1 Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) in heating.

2  Based on LG Internal test conducted according to LG internal test methods comparing cooling time of the model with single vane (S3-M12KL2MB) and the model with DUAL Vane (S3-M121L1C0). The new DUALCOOL air conditioner cools up to 23 percent faster in cooling mode and heats up to 6 percent faster than the previous model using Jet Mode at a chamber of 50.1 meters3 , measuring the time it took to reach ±5 degree Celsius from the initial average room temperature. For the cooling mode, the testing was conducted under the condition of an indoor temperature of 33±0.3 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity (RH) of 60±5 percent, and an outdoor temperature of 35±0.3 degrees Celsius with RH of 50±5 percent, a set temperature of 18 degrees Celsius was used. For the heating mode, with an indoor temperature of 12±0.3 degrees Celsius and RH of 60±5 percent, and an outdoor temperature of 7±0.3 degrees Celsius with RH of 87±5 percent, a set temperature of 30 degrees Celsius was applied.

3  Based on TÜV Rheinland Korea conducted according to LG internal test methods measuring the reduction rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It removes up to 99.0 percent of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from the heat exchanger within the indoor unit according to tests conducted by TÜV Rheinland with models SQ07EDETHN, SQ06BDAWAJ, SQ07SDJBAN and SQ09MDKWAN. Freeze Cleaning mode operation time is confined up to 65 minutes, and the function can be operated through LG ThinQ app only. The performance result may vary depending on actual use environmental conditions and is not guaranteed for continuous exposure to hazardous environments.
