Safr from RealNetworks has earned its third Small Business Research Innovation (SBIR) deal from the United States Air Force (USAF) to enable the extension of Safr AI-powered analytics, including facial recognition, to unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). The UGVs would be used to reduce risks in perimeter protection and domestic emergency medical services (EMS) search and rescue missions. In a news release, the company said the contract will help improve its platform to be able to operate on an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier-based UGV system, with the goal of reducing the risk service members face as the Safr-enhanced UGVs will be able to detect unauthorized persons in restricted areas with face biometrics. "As a USAF military working dog handler, I have employed canines in various environments fulfilling the multi-use role of detection and deterrence. The ability to utilize UGV systems to augment K9 teams during work/rest cycles, or as an additional force, broadens security in-depth and allows operations to continue unhindered," said Air Force Technical Sergeant Dustin Cain, Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge of Police Services, 366th Security Forces Squadron, Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho.

ABBOTT PARK, Ill., April 26, 2021 -- Abbott today announced that its new imaging platform powered by Ultreon 1.0 Software, is now CE Marked in Europe. This first-of-its-kind imaging software merges optical coherence tomography (OCT) – an imaging tool that provides physicians a comprehensive view inside an artery or blood vessel – with the power of artificial intelligence (AI) for enhanced visualization. The new Ultreon Software can automatically detect the severity of calcium-based blockages and measure vessel diameter to enhance the precision of physicians' decision-making during coronary stenting procedures. Unlike traditional imaging methods such as conventional angiography, Abbott's OCT technology uses near-infrared light to provide high-definition, precise imaging from within a blood vessel. OCT imaging also helps improve physicians' assessment of blockages in those vessels and optimize decisions related to stent selection, placement and deployment.

The launch will give physicians and consumers throughout the country access to TytoCare's leading, AI-powered remote examination solution, replicating in-person visits from the comfort of home during the pandemic and beyond TytoCare, the global healthcare industry's first all-in-one modular device and examination platform for AI-powered, on-demand, remote medical exams, today announced the launch of its telehealth solution in Ukraine. The launch is taking place via an exclusive partnership with GIVA Care Group, a leading healthcare distribution company, who will introduce TytoCare to the Ukrainian healthcare industry. This marks the first time such an advanced telehealth device and platform will be available to Ukrainian physicians and consumers. The COVID-19 pandemic has heavily impacted Ukraine, with over 37,000 fatalities and over 400,000 people currently infected with the virus. As a result, the Ukrainian healthcare ecosystem is seeking digital health solutions that will help physicians provide the best possible care both for coronavirus patients as well as the general population seeking ongoing care and looking to avoid hospitals and clinics.

Nowadays, almost everybody is aware of the effect Artificial Intelligence (AI) has on our every day lives. AI is already a part of many people's lives and maybe already a part of your life too -- whether you realize it or not. Alexa), Google Home, and Apple's HomePod (with Siri) are perhaps the three most popular products in the thriving field of AI assistants. It's estimated that Amazon has sold about 25 million Echo devices up to now, and they expect that number to go double or more by 2020. These AI assistants products understand spoken commands and speak in humanlike voices using natural language.

Apple announced plans on Monday to invest more than $1 billion in North Carolina to build the company's first East Coast campus, a move expected to bring at least 3,000 new jobs to the state. The development comes as part of an effort by Apple to up investment as the U.S. begins rebuilding from the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a statement from the company. The North Carolina project falls under a commitment to invest $430 billion and add a total of 20,000 new jobs over the next five years, expanding teams in Colorado, Massachusetts, Texas, Washington, New York, California and other states, officials said. The campus and engineering hub is set to be located in the Raleigh-Durham area's Research Triangle Park alongside hundreds of other science and technology firms. The hub will be home to thousands of additional jobs in machine learning, artificial intelligence, software engineering and other fields, the company said.

Between the disruption to foreign manufacturing and its planned German silicon facility, much of the recent focus has been on Apple's overseas supply chain. But, amid a push to re-start the US economy, Apple is now highlighting its domestic contributions. The iPhone-maker announced today that it will open a new campus and engineering hub in North Carolina, as part of a five-year plan to pour $430 billion into the US economy. Apple will spend $1 billion on the new site located in the Research Triangle area, home to a trifecta of higher-education institutions including North Carolina State University, Duke University and the University of North Carolina. The project will see Apple employ 3,000 people in machine learning, artificial intelligence and software engineering posts.

WIRE)--BrainChip Holdings Ltd. (ASX: BRN), a leading provider of ultra-low power, high-performance AI technology, introduced MetaTF, a versatile ML framework that allows people working in the convolutional neural network space to quickly and easily move to neuromorphic computing without having to learn anything new, today at Linley Spring Conference 2021. The MetaTF development environment is an easy-to-use, complete machine learning framework for the creation, training and testing of neural networks, supporting the development of systems for Edge AI on BrainChip's Akida event domain neural processor. The MetaTF development environment leverages TensorFlow and Keras for industry-standard neural network development and training and includes the Akida Execution Engine (chip simulator), data-to-event converters, and a model zoo of pre-trained models. The framework leverages the Python scripting language and its associated tools and libraries, including Jupyter notebooks and NumPy. Deep-learning professionals do not need to learn a new framework to start using MetaTF immediately.

Amazon SageMaker Studio is a web-based fully integrated development environment (IDE) where you can perform end-to-end machine learning (ML) development to prepare data and build, train, and deploy models. Like other AWS services, Studio supports a rich set of security-related features that allow you to build highly secure and compliant environments. One of these fundamental security features allows you to launch Studio in your own Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). This allows you to control, monitor, and inspect network traffic within and outside your VPC using standard AWS networking and security capabilities. For more information, see Securing Amazon SageMaker Studio connectivity using a private VPC.
