Leave a comment

A simple tool to share up-to-date project data between the trailer and the field

DENVER, May 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — On May 19 2020, Propeller, a global leader in 3D mapping and drone data analytics solutions, announced a Propeller Platform add-on called Crew, a simple, data sharing tool that worksites use to relay interactive maps from desktops in office to mobile devices in the field.

The new add-on gives office teams the power to create and share interactive maps with professionals in the field using one-off links designed for mobile viewing. Each map has a unique URL that can be shared with anyone and any device.

Watch a demo video here! 

This data sharing tool is designed to unify long-standing information silos with ongoing and open communication. Historically, worksites have manually prepared paper maps to keep site-based crews informed, but these maps quickly become outdated and require a specialist’s knowledge to create.

Working from outdated documents, foremen and surveyors on the ground are left to make critical decisions based on guesswork—a recipe for rework and utility strikes. Crew’s up-to-date visuals, readily available for viewing on any mobile device, give on-site personnel the confidence they need to make decisions and the power to prevent costly mistakes.

With the Crew add-on, users can:

  • Create, share, and view their latest aerial survey on any mobile device
  • Move and zoom in on specific areas of their site relative to their current location
  • Understand site setout relative to the final design
  • Turn design file layers on or off as required
  • Monitor cut and fill progress to design levels from anywhere on site
  • Identify subsurface utilities in the field to reduce strike rates
  • Draw on the map to communicate points of interest to other users in real time
  • View the elevation point for any location on site

The best part of the new add-on is its simplicity: it distributes information without requiring users to download an app or remember sign-on credentials. 

Engaging with these maps also requires little or no technical knowledge. Office-based personnel just navigate to the site they’d like to share in the Propeller Platform, generate a unique URL, and send it to their in-field team using SMS, email, or any other communication tool they’d like.

After opening the link, crew members can immediately explore a geographically accurate overview of where they’re at to spot-check elevations, view volumes, stay safe, and stay informed.

By marrying maps and mobile capabilities, the Crew add-on makes collaboration an effortless part of your workflow— a single link that keeps everyone on your team connected. 

About Propeller: Propeller is a global leader in 3D mapping and data analytics solutions that give worksites the power to track, map, and measure their earthwork projects. Propeller’s innovative hardware and software products solve real problems for real people. With visual tools everyone can use, Propeller is helping teams on thousands of worksites track, inspect, and report on job progress and productivity safely and accurately.

SmartSens Announces SC210IoT – The 1080P RAW Sensor with On-Chip AEC For Fast Wake-Up Always On Home IoT Cameras Systems

Leave a comment

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — SmartSens Technology today announces the official launch of SC210IoT – a 1080P 30fps low power video sensor specifically designed to power Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

CIS - the core component of IoT smart vision systems
CIS – the core component of IoT smart vision systems

It is estimated that 127 new IoT devices are connected to the web every second, and an installation of 31 billion IoT devices will be installed worldwide by the end of 2020 (Security Today, January 2020). During the next three years, companies are believed to invest up to $1.1 Trillion in in IoT (www.vxchnge.com, March 2020). As companies race to stay competitive, there are several crucial advancements that will determine the future of the industry for the next decade.

As in the case of other SmartSens products unveiled recently, what sets SC210IoT apart are the multiple significant enhancements it brings to the whole new generation of smart devices: superior low-light sensitivity, AEC function to enable fast wake-up from intermittent system operation, lowered power consumption optimized for always-on everyday applications.

SC210IoT supports integrated AEC function to optimize sensor to reactive devices from power-off or sleep mode to active streaming with a much shorter response time, as low as 60~70ms, while devices without SC210IoT still take the time multiple frames refresh  – often >100ms for a stable exposed image – to achieve the same function. This represents a huge leap forward in applications that collect crucial, timely visual data such as home and commercial surveillance equipment.

As a result of the faster response time, the new SC210IoT also achieves ultra-low power consumption, which is one of the top priorities for “always-on” devices, by preserving video bandwidth for only waking up to- and recording images and videos upon receiving a visual detection. SC210IoT power consumption is at a mere 60mW while standby power is <10uW. This will lead to a longer battery operation that is required for true power wireless applications, especially for devices with AI designed for detecting objects, motions and activities beyond human eyes.                                  

SC210IoT also achieves ultra-low power consumption, which preserves video bandwidth for waking and recording visuals upon detection - leading to longer battery operation for "always-on" devices

Microchip Reveals Software Development Kit and Neural Network IP for Easily Creating Low-Power FPGA Smart Embedded Vision Solutions

Leave a comment

BANGKOK, May 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — With the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and the Internet of Things (IoT), applications are moving to the network edge where data is collected, requiring power-efficient solutions to deliver more computational performance in ever smaller, thermally constrained form factors. Through its Smart Embedded Vision initiative, Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP) is meeting the growing need for power-efficient inferencing in edge applications by making it easier for software developers to implement their algorithms in PolarFire® field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). As a significant addition to the solutions portfolio in this segment, Microchip’s VectorBlox Accelerator Software Development Kit (SDK) helps developers take advantage of Microchip’s PolarFire FPGAs for creating low-power, flexible overlay-based neural network applications without learning an FPGA tool flow.

Microchip Reveals Software Development Kit and Neural Network IP for Easily Creating Low-Power FPGA Smart Embedded Vision Solutions
Microchip Reveals Software Development Kit and Neural Network IP for Easily Creating Low-Power FPGA Smart Embedded Vision Solutions

FPGAs are ideal for edge AI applications, such as inferencing in power-constrained compute environments, because they can perform more giga operations per second (GOPS) with greater power efficiency than a central processing unit (CPU) or graphics processing unit (GPU), but they require specialized hardware design skills. Microchip’s VectorBlox Accelerator SDK is designed to enable developers to code in C/C++ and program power-efficient neural networks without prior FPGA design experience.

The highly flexible tool kit can execute models in TensorFlow and the open neural network exchange (ONNX) format which offers the widest framework interoperability. ONNX supports many frameworks such as Caffe2, MXNet, PyTorch, and MATLAB®. Unlike alternative FPGA solutions, Microchip’s VectorBlox Accelerator SDK is supported on Linux® and Windows® operating systems, and it also includes a bit accurate simulator which provides the user the opportunity to validate the accuracy of the hardware while in the software environment. The neural network IP included with the kit also supports the ability to load different network models at run time.

“In order for software developers to benefit from the power efficiencies of FPGAs, we need to remove the impediment of them having to learn new FPGA architectures and proprietary tool flows, while giving them the flexibility to port multi-framework and multi-network solutions,” said Bruce Weyer, vice president of the Field Programmable Gate Array business unit at Microchip. “Microchip’s VectorBlox Accelerator SDK and neural network IP core will give both software and hardware developers a way to implement an extremely flexible overlay convolutional neural network architecture on PolarFire FPGAs, from which they can then more easily construct and implement their AI-enabled edge systems that have best-in-class form factors, thermals and power characteristics.”

For inferencing at the edge, PolarFire FPGAs deliver up to 50 percent lower total power than competing devices, while also offering 25 percent higher-capacity math blocks that can deliver up to 1.5 tera operations per second (TOPS). By using FPGAs, developers also have greater opportunities for customization and differentiation through the devices’ inherent upgradability and ability to integrate functions on a single chip. The PolarFire FPGA neural network IP is available in a range of sizes to match the performance, power, and package size tradeoffs for the application, enabling customers to implement their solutions in package sizes as small as 11 x 11 mm.

Microchip’s Smart Embedded Vision initiative was launched last July to provide hardware and software developers with tools, intellectual property (IP) cores, and boards for meeting the thermally constrained and small-form-factor requirements of edge applications. Because PolarFire FPGAs deliver lower power compared to other solutions, customers can eliminate the need for fans in their enclosures. PolarFire FPGAs also offer more functional integration for a customer’s design. For example, in applications such as a smart camera, PolarFire FPGAs can integrate the image signal pipeline which includes the sensor interface, DDR controller, image signal processing (ISP) IP and network interfaces, all while integrating the machine learning inference.

Availability

Microchip’s VectorBlox Accelerator SDK is scheduled to be available in the third quarter of 2020, starting with an Early Access Program in June. PolarFire FPGAs are in production today. For more information, visit the Smart Embedded Vision web page or contact sales.support@microsemi.com.

New Influencer WebCam-Based Social Platform, Jasmin.com, Launches Pamela Anderson Joins as Creative Director

Leave a comment

Top Relationship Experts and Lifestyle Personalities to Offer Advice and Videos

NEW YORK, May 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Jasmin, the world’s first web camming site exclusively dedicated to connecting users with lifestyle, relationship, and sex positivity influencers, announced its launch today. Actress, model, and activist Pamela Anderson has joined in the role of Creative Director and will appear daily on Jasmin.com. An offshoot of LiveJasmin, the world’s most successful adult webcamming site with 50 million daily visitors, Jasmin’s mission is to broaden the appeal of webcamming through lifestyle influencers with whom members can connect via videos, texts, and chats.

“I’m thrilled to be working with Jasmin in my role as Creative Director,” said Anderson. “At a moment when we’re more socially isolated than ever and loneliness is an epidemic, Jasmin offers a medium for real connections. The more we stay connected human to human, the better off we will be.”

No woman is better suited to be Jasmin’s spokesperson than Anderson, the world’s most recognizable sex symbol. The iconic actress, model, and activist has long championed sex positivity, which is at the core of Jasmin’s ethos. In her role as Jasmin’s Creative Director, Pamela will host regular virtual conversations with experts in the fields of relationships, intimacy, and sex positivity, as well as work with Jasmin’s executive team on new initiatives designed to enhance the user experience.

Jasmin’s genesis is the result of an internal study of LiveJasmin users that revealed that a staggering 70% of webcam visitors were only having conversations with the site’s models to alleviate loneliness, rather than engaging in sexual activity. And, as people have become more socially isolated than ever before, LiveJasmin has only seen its traffic increase.

“We were stunned to realize just how much people simply wanted to engage in meaningful conversations with LiveJasmin’s models and realized we needed to provide this audience with a forum that allowed them to do so,” said Karoly Papp, CEO and Co-Founder of Jasmin. “We launched Jasmin to help foster human connections around shared common interests. Incorporating influencers, experts, and personalities who are passionate about fitness, well-being, relationships, dating, intimacy, and sex positivity is a natural fit for our audience who are looking to engage around these issues.”

To that end, Jasmin has tapped actress, model and transgender activist, Carmen Carrera; sexologist, author, and relationship authority, Nikki Goldstein PhD; social psychologist and author, Justin Lehmiller; and sex expert, author, and intimacy coach, Stephen de Wit DHS, MPH, ACS, to develop original content and address topics such as relationships, dating, and body positivity with users. They will also engage with members in live chats, post videos, and participate in roundtables with Anderson and others within the Jasmin community. Additional experts and personalities will be added in the coming months.

To better understand the societal impacts of webcamming and other adult-oriented digital platforms, Jasmin commissioned researchers from the famed Kinsey Institute at Indiana University to conduct the world’s first survey examining the relationship between the use of sex technology and emotional connection. In a study of 8,000 people, Kinsey scientists found that sex tech users reported feeling both sexually and emotionally connected to their virtual partners. Specifically, 68% of webcam visitors revealed that they received emotional support from a cam model, and 66% felt a sense of emotional closeness to them.

“Although the unprecedented rise of the digital era has sparked some anxiety over the potential negative consequences to individuals and society, we’re seeing that the incorporation of technology—and sex tech specifically—also has the capacity to enhance, expand, and improve individual well-being and the well-being of human relationships,” said Amanda Gesselman, Anita Aldrich Endowed Research Scientist and Associate Director for Research at the Kinsey Institute.

Loneliness, labeled an epidemic prior to COVID-19, is associated with multiple negative mental health outcomes. And, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control have cautioned that people are feeling more socially isolated than ever during the pandemic.

ABOUT JASMIN
 Jasmin is the first lifestyle-oriented interactive mobile and desktop platform which enables the public to pay to interact with over 300 influencers and personalities via text, video chats, and direct messaging on topics they collectively care about most. At Jasmin, the influencers make the rules. They determine what they want to talk about, who they want to communicate with, and how much they want to charge. Conceived of by the founders of LiveJasmin, the world’s most popular adult-oriented webcamming destination which receives 50 million visitors a day, Jasmin is designed to be a fun and judgement-free zone for the fostering of friendship and emotional connections.
