New AIs from Astraea Software Can Facilitate Engineering Design

TOKYO, March 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — AI applications are increasingly accepted as solutions to enhance the productivity in manufacturing industry. Astraea Software Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Tokyo, Japan) has successfully developed AIs that could be served as an aid to engineers in the design phase.

The demo versions of those AIs have been released on

TOKYO, March 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — AI applications are increasingly accepted as solutions to enhance the productivity in manufacturing industry. Astraea Software Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Tokyo, Japan) has successfully developed AIs that could be served as an aid to engineers in the design phase.

The demo versions of those AIs have been released on https://demo2.astraea-soft.com/?lang=en 

Digital Transformation (DX) is gaining attention today. It refers to the incorporation of digital technology into a company’s production activities. And an interest in improving business efficiency and quality through AI technology has been growing rapidly.

The manufacturing industry is also focusing on the promotion of DX through AI technology. Many examples of its use have been reported. However, there are few examples of AI technology being applied to concept design, which is the starting point of the engineering chain.

Inspired by that judgment, Astraea Software has developed 3D shape recognition technology and 3D shape synthesis technology and released the demo applications of those AIs on its demo site.

The 3D Car Body Synthesis is an example of applying 3D shape synthesis to conceptual designs in the automotive manufacturing industry, allowing users to experience having AI generate a new car body from other car bodies.

The AI learns the features of the two car bodies and instantly creates a new body with a mixture of those features. Designers can create a new car body that fits their taste.

Furthermore, since the generated car body is 3D shape data, it can be used to create a mock-up model using a 3D printer or transferred to a 3D CAD system for a more detailed design.

Along with the 3D Car Body Synthesis function, Astraea Software has also released the demo of the 3D Shape Recognition AI. This AI allows users to experience the classification of bolt head shapes, pipe shapes and a number of manifold branches. The feature can be used to automate the design process during the detailed design phase.

For more detailed technical descriptions, please visit the following Astraea Software Research page.

The Hip-Hop Museum of DC Held Induction Ceremony at the Birth Place of Hip-Hop

NEW YORK, March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — On Sunday, Feb. 28, 2021 from Noon till 2 p.m. (EST), the Hip-Hop Museum of Washington, DC honored Hip-Hop Legends Coke La Rock (Father of Rapping), Grand Wizzard Theodore (Inventor of the SCRATCH, Fantastic 5, L-Brothers), Grandmaster Caz (Cold Crush Bros. & Wild Style), MC G.L.O.B.E. (Soulsonic…

NEW YORK, March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — On Sunday, Feb. 28, 2021 from Noon till 2 p.m. (EST), the Hip-Hop Museum of Washington, DC honored Hip-Hop Legends Coke La Rock (Father of Rapping), Grand Wizzard Theodore (Inventor of the SCRATCH, Fantastic 5, L-Brothers), Grandmaster Caz (Cold Crush Bros. & Wild Style), MC G.L.O.B.E. (Soulsonic Force), and Johan Kugelberg (Cornell Hip-Hop Archive) with a private induction ceremony hosted by comedian Russell Peters at the birthplace of Hip-Hop located at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, The Bronx, New York.

The Induction Ceremony provided a virtual view to the public via social media platforms for fans on Instagram LIVE (HipHopMuseumDC) and Facebook (The Hip-Hop Museum Pop-Up Experience). «It’s important that the Hip-Hop Community witnessed history,» stated Grandmaster Caz. «The Ceremony not only took place in The Bronx, but it took place in the very same room where the first Hip-Hop party happened in 1973,» states Hip-Hop Publicist Lynn Hobson.

Inducted by Historian Jay Quan, these legends were recognized for their contributions to the culture in the very same room where Hip-Hop was born. «I am honored to be a part of history and I appreciate the museum for recognizing my role in Hip-Hop,» stated honoree Grand Wizzard Theodore.

During the ceremony, The Hip-Hop Museum of Washington, DC received a donation of the largest collection of rare, vintage Hip-Hop Flyers ever donated to a museum. All designed by the ‘King of Hip-Hop Flyers’ Buddy Esquire who passed away in 2014, this lot of 157 flyers came directly from his personal archive and are in pristine condition. At the direction of Johan Kugelberg who was Buddy’s friend and Biographer, the legends took us on a stroll down memory lane as they recalled some of the historic moments from the early days of Hip-Hop’s inception.

«Hip-Hop has now grown into the largest financial and cultural export the United States has ever produced. The importance of this donation and the enormity of this induction ceremony, is deeply meaningful for reasons of cultural preservation and legacy,» states Museum Founder Jeremy Beaver.

Hip-Hop is a culture and art movement that was created by African Americans, Latino Americans and Caribbean Americans in the Bronx, New York City. Like any style of music, hip-hop has roots in other forms, and its evolution was shaped by many different artists, but there’s a case to be made that it came to life precisely on August 11, 1973, at a birthday party in the recreation room of an apartment building in The Bronx. The location of that birthplace was 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, and the man who presided over that historic party was the birthday girl’s brother, Clive Campbell—known as DJ Kool Herc, founding father of hip-hop and Coke La Rock, founding father of rapping. Together, the two created Hip-Hop.

Mayors Urge Swift Senate Passage of American Rescue Plan

WASHINGTON, March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today the Senate introduced a modified version of President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan, including critical funding for local governments.

WASHINGTON, March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today the Senate introduced a modified version of President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan, including critical funding for local governments. The Senate version of the bill preserves this important component of the plan, which American mayors have been calling for since last spring. To date, most American cities have been left behind in Washington’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, but this plan will finally provide relief to cities that have suffered painful budget shortfalls as a direct result of the crisis. In response to the Senate moving forward on this revised bill, U.S. Conference of Mayors President and Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer released the following statement:

«America’s mayors are grateful that Leader Schumer and other Senate leaders are keeping their promise to support the cities that have been on the frontlines of this pandemic. The crisis has taken a painful toll on local governments, municipal workers, and the millions of Americans who rely on essential city services. The bill introduced in the Senate today will make cities safer and healthier, keep cops and other essential workers on the job, and allow cities to help drive an equitable economic recovery for the country. For the first time in a long time, there is real reason for optimism that this pandemic can soon be behind us, but there is still significant work to be done. This bill is critical to being able to turn the page and move us forward, and we urge the Senate and House to move quickly to send it to the president’s desk.»

About the United States Conference of Mayors — The U.S. Conference of Mayors is the official nonpartisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more. There are more than 1,400 such cities in the country today, and each city is represented in the Conference by its chief elected official, the mayor. Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter.
