The release of the new G4760 4U 10xGPU server, from Equus Compute Solutions has been announced. It is well suited for artificial intelligence and deep learning environments and offers higher performance, reduced rack space requirements, and lower power consumption compared with traditional CPU-centric platforms, in a server package ideal for enterprise-level workloads.

A transceiver series that enables high-definition (HD) video over existing Unshielded Twisted Pair cables and unshielded connectors has been introduced by Analog Devices. This allows OEMs to upgrade easily from standard-definition cameras to HD cameras and provide the superior resolution and image quality required for today’s automotive camera applications. 

Anodot is an amalgamation of the words Anomaly and dot, and was co-founded four years ago by Ira Cohen and David Drai. Drai, previously the CTO at Gett, was getting quite frustrated, as he used to collect a large amount of real-time data as part of his job, but any problems would be discovered too late. Cohen explained: “Using all this data Drai saw anomalies, there was a drop here or something there, but it was discovered the next morning,...

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University recently developed an intelligent fabric defect detection system, called “WiseEye”, which leverages advanced technologies including Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning in the process of quality control in textile industry. The system effectively minimises the chance of producing substandard fabric by 90%, thus substantially reducing loss and wastage in the production. It helps to save manpowe...
