PitPat Redefines running and Makes Online Racing a Form of Training

Leave a comment

HOUSTON, Dec. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — While traditional users still train on treadmills, PitPat has created a new running trend: by connecting treadmills through the PitPat App, you can participate in official running races, compete for rankings on a level playing field, and earn the final race bonuses. The PitPat team has been adding anti-cheating functions to make the race fairer and more challenging. The team leader believes that this will usher in a new era for the treadmill, with each runner about to usher in a new world.

PitPat is developed by JoyFit, a sports equipment professional team. It is used on STARPOWER treadmill designed by JoyFit. Each user of the treadmill can choose the functions of the treadmill according to their own needs. If it is simply used for running, it can be used by connecting the power supply. If you need to participate in a course or an online contest, you need to connect to the PitPat App. This is a great function to show each user’s running performance through the race, and the online format makes the race format more flexible and can be entered at every time period.

Based on the current PitPat format, there are Multi-Player Run, 1VS1 PK Run, Ranking Challenge Run and monthly Milestone Run ranked by total mileage. At present, there are more than 60 races in the whole day, which are distributed in the time period when runners often use the treadmill. Up to 2,000 runners can participate in the race at the same time. In the 1VS1 PK Run, you can choose your friends or invite a user to launch a 1VS1 PK Run at random, and the winner will get race bonuses. In addition, if users access the PitPat App before running, they can click the milestone for data statistics. Even if they are just running every day, the accumulated mileage can be counted in the Milestone Run. Other types of events are being prepared to launch, allowing users of all running abilities to participate.

If you run a race on PitPat, you can not only test your training but also feel the atmosphere of a running race. Through the immersive 3D animation effect, you can feel the pleasure of exceeding others and sprinting to the limit, which will be a new experience in using the treadmill, making running no longer a lonely and monotonous activity.

According to the PitPat team, they will develop more products for online races, and the new brand is already in operation, which will bring new changes to the fitness market.

If you want to try out the racing treadmill, you can search for the STARPOWER Treadmill on Amazon, or click the link below to purchase it:

SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Timekettle is bringing the most cutting-edge translation technology HybridComm™ to this CES 2023, recently launching a video about the core technology on its official YouTube channel.

As the pioneer of translator earbuds, Timekettle has transformed the world of cross-language communication since its existence in 2016. HybridComm™ is what makes Timekettle competitive on the market. It subverts the shackles of conventional  translation products by adopting an entirely different technical structure to advance our product in speech processing, simultaneous interpretation, and AI translation.

“I believe the significance of a great translation product lies beyond the technological advancement of one company over another; it is the whole interaction experience between people of different cultural and language backgrounds that fames Timekettle product great.” Leal Tian, Founder & CEO of Timekettle said.

Hence, our product can record the user’s voices clearly in their complete form, while eliminating the noise and interference affecting the conversation.
    Our RNNVAD voice recognition algorithm automatically segments any sentences to ensure they are translated logically. In addition, after a substantial amount of AI training (length of product usage), the product will pick up only human voices to ensure the segmentation of sentences and the translation (as results) are more accurate over time.
  2. TurboFast SI Technology
    We are the first and only company that successfully made receiving and sending of signals via Bluetooth possible. This technological breakthrough laid the foundation for our simultaneous interpretation experience in which our products can record, translate, and playback, all at the same time.
    Data has shown our Simultaneous Interpretation Technology increased communication efficiency by up to 200% faster (more fluent).
  3. UniSmart AITP (AI Translation Platform)

Chris Lee Sings the Promotional Song for BBC’s Frozen Planet II, a Co-production with MIGU Video

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Dec. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Now, 11 years later, the annual BBC Earth series, Frozen Planet II, co-produced by MIGU Video, will be exclusively aired on the Chinese online video platform at 10:00 am Beijing time on December 17. The music video of the international promotional song for the series, Send Them Home, co-created by famous Chinese pop singer Chris Lee and award-winner German composer Hans Zimmer, will first premiere on MIGU Video and MIGU Music on December 16, giving audiences everywhere an opportunity to enjoy the elements of nature in the music.

Lee has long devoted herself to the cause of environmental protection and served as both the Sichuan Panda Ambassador and Earth Hour China Ambassador, roles that gave her a platform from which she has called on the public to pay attention to climate change and build environmental awareness in practice. Lee’s unremitting efforts at raising the alarm about the need for environmental protection fit perfectly with the central idea of Frozen Planet II. On the track, Send It Home, she interprets the intended message of the documentary’s various episodes, expressing the fascination she feels as she observes the diversity of nature and of the creatures that inhabit the world’s coldest regions, while evoking the spirit of reverence and respect for nature… and reminding us of how important it is to protect those revered creatures and the environment that they need to survive.

Frozen Planet II is another masterpiece from BBC’s powerful Earth series. The film crew spent three years traveling to 18 countries and regions around the world, using the most advanced photography to make the six episodes – Frozen Worlds, Frozen Oceans, Frozen Peaks, Frozen South, Frozen Lands, and Our Frozen Planet, each of which allows viewers to experience the wonder of our planet’s frozen realms from different perspectives. Going further than Series 1, the lineup of episodes explores the frozen worlds beyond the Poles – witnessing the unknown natural mysteries in our high mountains, frozen deserts, snowbound forests, and ice-cold oceans, while documenting in vivid detail the wildlife in each chilly habitat and the evolution of the local natural ecology. The changing frozen planet is a recurring theme highlighted by the series, which will also showcase how regions covered in ice and snow for millennia have been altered as a result of global warming. Through the documentary, viewers can learn about the severe effects of these unprecedented changes on the local habitat, raising their awareness of the significance of these frozen areas in Earth’s ecology as well as of the critical importance of environmental conservation.

In addition to the six-part series, every Wednesday at noon starting on December 21, China Mobile MIGU, which has exclusive rights to the series, will release 6 mini episodes of Frozen Planet II, to which Winter Olympic champion Wang Meng, women’s football goalkeeper Zhao Lina and singer Wu Jiacheng, among other guests, have been invited and where they will lend their voices to the animals in the documentary such as the king penguins, skeleton shrimps and wolves that populate the habitat, bringing to life the best and most vivid moments that belong to each of these species.

LG DELIVERS YEAR-AROUND COMFORT AND ELEGANCE WITH NEW ARTCOOL™ GALLERY AT CES 2023

Leave a comment

With a Stylish Design, Personalized Content and LG’s Renowned DUAL Inverter, New Residential Air Conditioner Creates a Chic and Comfortable Living Environment

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) is ready to unveil its latest ARTCOOL Gallery air conditioner at CES 2023. Boasting a 27-inch LCD screen and LG’s upgradable options, the new model can display personalized content to match any season or to instantly refresh the room using LG ThinQ app. It also delivers energy-efficient cooling and heating with LG’s DUAL Inverter Compressor™ and 3-way indirect airflow, provides a more hygienic performance with AI Dry™, and offers a variety of user-friendly features including an intuitive mobile app.

Presenting exclusive content on a bright LCD screen bordered by a simple, yet sophisticated frame, the ARTCOOL Gallery gives one the impression they are looking at a framed work of art rather than an advanced LG air conditioner. Using ThinQ app, users can select from a growing range of gorgeous, static and animated images – or choose from favorite family photos – and display something new whenever they feel like a change. The new model can be easily managed using the included smart remote or via a mobile app1 that lets users choose settings and functions, and monitor the appliance’s status in real-time, from any location.

Equipped with the company’s DUAL Inverter Compressor, the new ARTCOOL Gallery delivers energy-efficient cooling, using up to 70 percent less power than a conventional residential air conditioner.2 The new model’s 3-way airflow provides indirect airflows suitable for the space. LG’s latest ARTCOOL Gallery also helps create an indoor environment that is as peaceful as it is comfortable, operating at noise levels as low as 20 decibels, and closing its ‘hidden’ bottom vane in sleep mode so as not to disturb or disrupt users’ rest.3

What’s more, the stunning ARTCOOL Gallery provides pleasantly fresh airflow thanks to LG’s AI Dry feature. Automatically setting the optimal drying time based on operation time and mode selection, AI Dry effectively removes any moisture that has formed inside the air conditioner. Additionally, the new model has a bottom grill that can be easily detached and cleaned 4 and a cover that helps make installation easier.

“Offering outstanding performance and artistic themes fit for all tastes and seasons, our latest ARTCOOL Gallery air conditioner delivers year-around comfort and elegance,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “With the unique combination of personalized content and cutting-edge technologies, LG’s innovative, new air solution is designed to help provide consumers with a better life at home.”

Visitors to LG’s booth (#15501, Las Vegas Convention Center) at CES 2023 from January 5-8 can see all of the company’s latest innovations, including the new ARTCOOL Gallery air conditioner.

1 Currently only compatible with Android OS-based devices.

2 Based on TÜV Rheinland tests conducted according to LG internal test methods comparing cooling time and power consumption. Test conducted in a chamber of 69 meters3 (4.3 x 7.0 x 2.3m) at a temperature of 33o C with a relative humidity of 60 percent using LG air conditioner with DUAL Inverter Compressor (model US-Q242Kxy0, US-Q122Jxy0) and LG air conditioner with constant speed compressor (model TS-H2465DA0, TS-H122TDA) at a set temperature of 26o C. Energy savings is measured by comparing the power consumption of the two models during 8 hours of operation.

3 Tested LG’s internal lab measuring the average noise level of the product in the ‘Sleep Mode’ (19.6 decibels). Results may vary depending on the actual usage environment. 

4 Users can access and clean the ARTCOOL Gallery air conditioner’s fan after removing the bottom grill.

Rebound Plastic Exchange to support Malaysia achieve its Plastics Sustainability Roadmap by 2030

Leave a comment

Rebound Plastic Exchange, a quality assured global trading platform for recycled plastics, will ensure transparency whilst facilitating cross border trade to unlock circularity worldwide.

ABU DHABI, UAE, Dec. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Rebound Plastic Exchange, a global B2B digital trading platform for recycled plastics, is ready to support Malaysia achieve its national sustainability targets by 2030. Implemented by the Ministry of Environment and Water (KASA), the Malaysia Plastics Sustainability Roadmap aims to phase out problematic single-use plastics against a 76% average collected-for-recycling rate by 2030, with long-term aims to achieve a 100% recycling rate for plastic packaging by 2050[1]. Rebound Plastic Exchange promises quality assurance and trust by vetting the members and listings posted onto the marketplace, thus helping the industry achieve its targets and keep plastic out of the environment.

Malaysia became the leading destination for the world’s plastic following the China ban in 2018. Its adherence to the Basel Convention gives Malaysia more leeway to curb plastic waste, incentivizing verified feedstock to enter its territories though contaminated plastics still find their way to the country despite the new UN rules[2]. Plastics can in fact be recycled into usable products, however 81% of the material value of plastics is lost in Malaysia due to failure to recover the material[3]. 

Maryam Al Mansoori, General Manager, Rebound Plastic Exchange, said, “ASEAN countries boast a significant portion of the global plastic feedstock, positioning the region as a leading processor for recycled plastics with Malaysia at its head, should it seize the opportunity to undergo pivotal changes in the industry, towards greater plastic recycling.”

Meanwhile, PETRONAS Chemicals Group (PCG) officiated its partnership with ExxonMobil under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to pilot advanced plastic recycling methods using cutting-edge technology for large-scale implementation[4].

It is estimated that up to 70%[5] of the existing installed recycling capacity in Malaysia is used for imported plastic waste, demonstrating the need for a range of solutions to support circular plastic waste management as Malaysia remains in the top 10 ocean polluters due to mismanaged plastic waste. Out of a total 1.41 million tonnes, currently, 1.07 million tonnes[6] of domestic plastic are disposed per year in Malaysia, resulting in only 24.2%, or 340,000 tonnes of recycled plastics overall.

Active buyers and sellers on Rebound Plastic Exchange come from over 21 countries, helping source plastic feedstock at the preferred price ranges. Industry members, whether buyers or sellers of recycled plastics, can register on Rebound Plastic Exchange free of charge and access a global marketplace for quality assured feedstock.

Rebound Plastic Exchange ready to unlock new opportunities for recycled plastics in Hong Kong

Leave a comment

Rebound Plastic Exchange, a quality assured global trading platform for recycled plastics, will ensure transparency whilst facilitating cross border trade to unlock circularity worldwide.

ABU DHABI, UAE, Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Rebound Plastic Exchange, a global B2B digital trading platform for recycled plastics, is ready to enter the Hong Kong market in full swing following its increased activity across the Middle East, North America, Latin America, India, Southeast Asia and Europe. The global marketplace promises quality assurance and trust by vetting the members and listings posted onto the marketplace, thus helping Hong Kong and the industry achieve its targets and keep plastic out of the environment.

In 2016, Hong Kong exported nearly 1.78 million tonnes[1] of recycled plastic waste to China, most than any other country in the world. In 2020, plastics still made up 21% of the city’s total municipal solid waste (MSW), though with a 27% increase in locally recycled plastics[2] . The Hong Kong Legislative Council then passed the Waste Charging Scheme in 2021 with hopes to reduce per capita waste disposal by 45% and increase recycling rates by 55%[3]. As the highly anticipated scheme is about to begin in 2023, and with the new Waste Blueprint for Hong Kong 2035 entering into force, Rebound Plastic Exchange is ready to enable the city to unlock more investment opportunities to support its growing recycling targets and initiatives.

Maryam Al Mansoori, General Manager, Rebound Plastic Exchange, said, “Recent data shows plastic waste represents approximately 20% of municipal solid waste disposal in Hong Kong. [4] This statistic could very well be leveraged as the world’s plastics market is forecasted to reach $46.6 bn by 2025.”

Rebound Plastic Exchange’s increased activity in Hong Kong will only complement the regional government’s commitments towards the Basel Convention’s Amendments on the trade of plastic and thus unlocking the world’s plastics, one country at a time. Active buyers and sellers on Rebound Plastic Exchange come from over 21 countries, helping source plastic feedstock at the preferred price ranges.

Industry members, whether buyers or sellers of recycled plastics, can register on Rebound Plastic Exchange free of charge and access a global marketplace for quality assured feedstock.
