(based in Nagoya, Japan), a leading embroidery machine manufacturer striving for automation of embroidery, production network management, and promotion of smart embroidery businesses, is proud to announce the launch of new embroidery machines on January 22, 2021, as the brand-new «TMEZ-KC Series» models, equipped with the «i-TM» function for automating the embroidery…

NAGOYA, Japan, Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Tajima Industries Co., Ltd. (based in Nagoya, Japan), a leading embroidery machine manufacturer striving for automation of embroidery, production network management, and promotion of smart embroidery businesses, is proud to announce the launch of new embroidery machines on January 22, 2021, as the brand-new «TMEZ-KC Series» models, equipped with the «i-TM» function for automating the embroidery finish.

While society has been going through great technological progressions like digitization in recent years, the apparel-manufacturing industry has come to face emerging issues associated with the labor shortage caused by the global COVID-19 outbreak. In such circumstances, the company is centering its corporate focus around automation of the machine embroidery production process by equipping machines with its proprietary AI technology «i-TM,» designed to automate the embroidery finish, as a solution to the manufacturing labor shortage.

TMEZ-K1506C: https://kyodonewsprwire.jp/prwfile/release/M106387/202012028045/_prw_PI4fl_7M3G2Hxq.jpg

1. Tajima’s Original AI Technology «i-TM»

«i-TM» stands for «Intelligent Thread Management.» In machine embroidery, patterns may be stitched in all different directions and the stitch length may vary even in a single design, making machine embroidery one of the most difficult types of sewing. The company has successfully algorithmized the embroidery finish patterns acquired through many years of experience to produce «i-TM.» This AI technology analyzes the stitch-by-stitch sewing direction and fabric thickness to compute the appropriate amount of upper thread feed for the next stitch and makes proper adjustments to stitches so that the embroidery finish that is considered to be «good» can be achieved in a stable manner.

i-TM: https://kyodonewsprwire.jp/prwfile/release/M106387/202012028045/_prw_PI5fl_20ZG9dVG.jpg

2. Advantages of «i-TM» at Machine Embroidery Factories

– Shorter Test Sewing Time

While most operators using conventional embroidery machines perform sewing tests to adjust the thread tension prior to actual production, i-TM-installed machines require much less time for test sewing in the preparatory process, allowing operators to use the time saved for production activities. The i-TM models are especially suitable for embroidering on ready-made products with mixed levels of fabric thickness and elasticity, such as caps, T-shirts, patches, shoes and socks.

Comparison of Production Processes between Conventional and i-TM Models: https://kyodonewsprwire.jp/prwfile/release/M106387/202012028045/_prw_PI3fl_vk035bN0.jpg

– Reduced Manufacturing Defects and Losses

The most frequent losses observed at machine embroidery factories are the products that fail in the quality inspection due to an insufficient embroidery finish. The i-TM models automatically adjust the embroidery finish to achieve good results in a stable manner, thus contributing to reduction of manufacturing losses.

– New Operators Readily Set to Work

Operators with experience-based skills play a crucial role in the conventional practice of upper thread tension adjustment to varying thread types. With «i-TM,» on the other hand, operators’ tasks are eased as the thread tension does not need to be adjusted manually, saving managers the time for training operators.

– Beautiful Finish with Various Thread Types

«i-TM» incorporates the stitching techniques that Tajima has accumulated over decades and produces a beautiful embroidery finish by tightening the thread firmly for linear running stitches while providing soft sewing for zig-zag satin stitches.

BEIJING, Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (Nasdaq: WIMI) («WiMi» or the «Company»), a leading Hologram AR Technology provider in China, today announced that it has obtained a patent (the «Patent») for a three-dimensional («3D») holographic pulse laser processing device for optical holography use (the «New Device»). The Patent is a result of WiMi’s independent research and development and will allow the Company to further improve its intellectual property protection system. By unleashing the strengths of its proprietary intellectual property resources and enhancing its innovation mechanisms, WiMi continues to enhance its core competitive advantages to fortify its leadership in the development of new technologies.

The Patent is related to the technical field of holographic pulse laser processing devices and, in particular, pulse laser processing devices for 3D optical holography use.

3D optical holography pulse laser processing devices will be widely used in the fields of autonomous driving, medical imaging, unmanned flight, holographic spectrometers, and more. Currently in the market, a holographic pulse laser processing device includes a pulse laser processor shell (the «Shell») with an opening on one side, a laser device which is bonded to the bottom inner wall of the Shell, and a display device which is installed on the top of the Shell. On the inner wall of one side of the Shell, there is a through hole in which a transparent protective board is bonded. There is also a focal lens bonded to the bottom inner wall of the Shell. To present the holographic data, the laser passes through the focal lens and transparent protective board, reaches the object, and then sends a command to the actuator through a deep neural network control.

With the rapid development of the electric vehicle («EV») industry, it is expected that pulse laser holography applications will play an increasingly important role in the collection and presentation of holographic data. For example, during the autonomous driving processes of EVs, the distance between the focus lens and laser must be adjusted quickly and accurately. When an object becomes farther from or closer to the focal lens, the laser passes through the focal lens and transparent protective board to reach the object. By evaluating the differences in reflections between different sized objects, WiMi’s New Device is capable of collecting and displaying clear holographic images.

WiMi has developed the New Device to solve the problems of holographic data collection and holographic data presentation for EVs in the future.

With the rapid development of the EV industry, the demand for automotive holographic AR navigation, holographic AR car windows, holographic AR rearview mirrors, and holographic AR vehicle communication devices has increased significantly. In line with the explosive demand for EV holographic applications, WiMi plans to develop EV holographic equipment, EV holographic chips, and EV holographic software to better meet this growing demand. WiMi is committed to integrated holographic software and hardware solutions and will continue to develop and apply for more holographic AR patents that are suitable for the EV industry going forward.

About WIMI Hologram Cloud Inc.

WiMi Hologram Cloud, Inc.(NASDAQ: WIMI), whose commercial operations began in 2015, operates an integrated holographic AR application platform in China and has built a comprehensive and diversified holographic AR content library among all holographic AR solution providers in China. Its extensive portfolio includes 4,654 AR holographic contents. The company has also achieved a speed of image processing that is 80 percent faster than the industry average. While most peer companies may identify and capture 40 to 50 blocks of image data within a specific space unit, WiMi collects 500 to 550 data blocks.

Brigade Electronics launches new vehicle turning indicator alarm to alert vulnerable road users

PORTLAND, Ind., Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Market-leading provider of vehicle safety systems Brigade Electronics has launched a new indicator warning alarm to alert vulnerable road users when a vehicle is turning.

PORTLAND, Ind., Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Market-leading provider of vehicle safety systems Brigade Electronics has launched a new indicator warning alarm to alert vulnerable road users when a vehicle is turning.

Brigade Electronics launches new vehicle turning indicator alarm to alert vulnerable road users

The bbs-TI, which is installed on the nearside of the vehicle, will synchronize an audible warning alarm with the indicator lights when activated, alerting vulnerable road users to a vehicle’s intention to turn.

The new vehicle safety system will harness Brigade’s existing White Sound® broadband technology, which will enable vulnerable road users to instantly locate which direction the sound is coming from. Gentler on the ear compared to traditional tonal alarms, White Sound® dissipates quickly and can only be heard in the danger zone, helping to reduce unnecessary noise disturbances.

For vehicles operating in multiple countries, White Sound® alarms have the additional benefit of being universally recognizable, meaning language barriers caused by traditional speaking alarms are eliminated.

bbs-TI’s features include:

  • Visual and audible vehicle turning warning to alert vulnerable road users
  • Suitable for use in multiple countries – no language barrier
  • Optional muting of the alarm for night-time hours
  • Option to activate the alarm below a designated speed only
  • Synchronizes bbs White Sound® technology with the vehicle’s indicator flash
  • Suitable for left turn or right turn installations
  • Complies with regulations and legislations that require an ‘audible vehicle maneuvering warning for vulnerable road users’ when a vehicle is turning

Corey Heniser, a road safety specialist at Brigade Electronics INC, said:

«One of the leading causes of collisions between vehicles and other road users is when a vehicle is turning. Much has been developed to improve driver awareness of pedestrians and cyclists in the vehicle’s nearside blind spot, but this doesn’t always help vulnerable road users – especially if they are traveling at speed and go unnoticed by the driver. The bbs-TI, which is compatible with Brigade’s side camera monitoring systems and sidescan ultrasonics, will help to protect vulnerable road users and make fleets even safer.»
