看联控(3396.HK)如何聚焦新质生产力 把握新兴前沿机遇

香港, 2024年10月11日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 据香港财华社报道,近一年来,全球人工智能依旧保持蓬勃发展态势,各国政府纷纷出台政策,积极推动人工智能技术的研发和应用,并加强相关领域的治理。其中,大模型技术成为热点,多家企业和研究机构都推出了具有影响力的"代表作",如OpenAI研发的ChatGPT、Google Research团队的Gemini,以及国内科大讯飞推出的星火大模型、智谱AI开发的千亿参数对话模型智谱清言等等。中国人工智能行业同样正处于稳中向好的发展进程中,核心产业规模稳步增长,国务院总理李强在北京调研时指出,人工智能是发展新质生产力的重要引擎,强调了AI的重要位置。目前,中国的人工智能相关企业数量已居世界第二,软件开发贡献仅次于美国。无论从全球视角,还是对中国而言,人工智能的发展似乎已在逐步迈入新的时代,亦将引领新质生产力的发展。这不禁令笔者联想到当年互联网时代经历的爆发式增长,网络媒体、社交、游戏,以及电商在短短二十年间几乎改变了整个社会的发展与交互模式,其中百度、阿里、腾讯和京东等一众企业在这一时期迅速崛起,成为了支撑中国新兴经济发展的核心产业。二十年后,引领变革的浪潮再次因人工智能的崛起而闯入大众视野,在这场事关生存发展的竞争之中,不同企业面临著不同挑战。以全球最大计算基础设施供应商之一的戴尔为例,其在今年发布了AI电脑新品,又与英伟达达成战略合作,然而AI服务器的利润率却反而对公司造成了困扰。此外,戴尔PC业务的复苏速度也并未达到预期。那么其他企业又是如何在变革浪潮的挑战中,紧抓时代机遇的?人工智能的下半场,将是从技术突破进入到落地应用的阶段,需要在实际应用中积累用户反馈,不断完善,继续创新。混合式人工智能 是AI落地的必然路径当下,AIPC已迅速成为跨国科技公司的必争之地,根据IDC发布的2024年第二季度全球PC市场调查报告,在历经连续7个季度的下跌后,全球消费市场因AIPC概念的出现而终于回暖,连续两个季度实现增长。联控旗下联想集团(992.HK)作为另一家IT行业巨头,于2024年上半年率先定义并推出了多款具备5大特性的AIPC,同时陆续推出了多款支持所有主流体系架构的AI服务器和AI解决方案与服务。根据IDC提供的最新数据,24年第二季度,联想集团PC出货量同比增长3.7%,增幅跑赢市场,并以22.7%的市场份额继续保持全球第一。同时,按照Canalys的最新统计,联想AIPC出货量环比增长228%。公司在AIPC领域的领跑优势和在PC市场的强势地位也正向反馈到了业绩之中,8月15日,联想集团发布2025财年一季度业绩,营收同比增长20%,归母净利润同比增长38%。此外,在2024联想创新科技大会上,其更一次性发布了六款AIPC新品,并以持续的创新与科研投入,进一步巩固了全球PC市场的领先地位,把握住了混合式人工智能崛起的机遇。此外,作为发展新质生产力的重要引擎,人工智能的动能与优势还在于赋能千行百业,帮助传统产业的智能转型升级。科技创新推动产业创新 人工智能大有作为新质生产力内涵丰富,积极推动新质生产力的发展,当然也不能拘泥于单一领域。去年12月,中央经济工作会议上国家进一步提出,加快发展新质生产力,就要以科技创新推动产业创新。而为了响应这一号召,联想集团以服务为导向的转型持续取得进展,非个人电脑业务在营业收入中的占比进一步提升,于第二季度创下了近47%的历史新高。对此,联想控股股份有限公司董事长宁旻这样解释,"不仅是PC领域,现今IT涉及的所有领域,未来都将逐渐被AI全面渗透。目前联想集团以算力服务为核心的'AI导向的基础设施'现已形成'一横五纵'的布局,'一横五纵'的AI基础设施是联想集团全栈智能架构的中坚部分。"以其服务的客户青岛特钢为例,联想集团将自身的计算机视觉技术和预警系统应用于特钢高线产线,从而解决了传统人工巡检精确度不足的问题。通过自动识别和预警技术,青岛特钢人均效率提升了15%、协同效率提升了20%、停机时间减少了15%。这一案例不仅提升了生产效率,还赢得了"2021年度国家工信部智能制造示范工厂"等荣誉,充分展示了联想在智能制造领域的强大赋能能力。公开数据显示,截至2024年初,已有90%的中国制造500强、1000多家头部制造型企业以及2000多家成长型制造企业都获得过联想全栈智能的支持,内容涵盖产品、服务及解决方案。从三一重工、五矿集团、长城汽车等大型制造企业,到北京大学、上海交大等多家企事业单位,其背后都能够看到算力提供商联想的身影。以自身在AI领域的前瞻布局和科技创新能力赋能其他产业,为众多产业的创新升级提供服务与支持,再次体现了联想对于进一步助力新质生产力加速发展这一时代要求的有力回应。支持专精特新"小巨人"与独角兽 可为长远发展积蓄动能在聚焦产业的运营提升之外,联想控股的另一大业务围绕产业孵化与投资展开。对于这样的业务布局模式,宁旻曾表示,"联想控股一方面推动旗下企业以自身的科技创新不断提高生产效率,赋能产业链、供应链发展;另一方面通过投资助力优秀创业企业成长,支持其以新技术培育新产业、新模式、新业态、新动能,实现资金链、产业链和创新链的深度融合。"而就笔者的具体分析而言,公司在这类孵化投资项目中对科技产业的支持主要体现在以下两方面。其一是持续加强布局AI产业链。目前,联控体系已建立起AI产业链的全栈布局,可提供全面而多样的AI产品组合与方案服务。同时,公司还在进一步加大在人工智能领域的布局和应用推广,累计投资的AI企业已超过250家,从而构建起充满活力的AI+应用生态圈。此外,公司也在积极推进数字产业化、产业数字化,助力超前建设数字基础设施,加快形成全国一体化算力体系,从而更好地促进数字经济和实体经济的深度融合。其二是助力"小巨人"企业的成长,推动多家所投企业发展成为独角兽企业。2024年9月,最新公布的第六批国家级专精特新"小巨人"企业名录显示,联控及旗下君联资本、联想之星、正奇能科、联想创投共计60家所投企业入选,涵盖了新一代信息技术、生物、高端装备制造等七大"战略性新兴产业"。此外,据统计,联控目前已累计助力了超180家国家级专精特新"小巨人"企业,处于行业领先水平。同时,据了解,联控近年亦格外重视瞪羚企业及独角兽企业的成长,以长期资本作为持续支持,为这些企业提供了健康成长的土壤。旗下君联资本、联想之星、弘毅投资及联想创投,坚持"投早期",坚持"投硬科技",所投企业中共计39家已发展成为独角兽企业,在我国总计369家独角兽企业中占比超10%,所属领域包括集成电路、医药健康、人工智能、新能源智能汽车等多个新兴领域。以笔者视角来看,新质生产力不仅仅是片面强调科技创新,也不是简单地理解为某些特定行业的发展壮大,而是激发其对于整个经济发展模式的迭代,这其中包含对于传统行业的转型升级,对于新兴战略产业的长期坚定布局,对于新型生产关系的定义、全要素生产率的提升等等。相信未来,如联控这般的企业能够继续发挥自身优势与经验,通过聚焦新质生产力,进一步释放高质量发展潜能,从各个维度实现更为多元立体的经济价值和社会效益。 Copyright 2024 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

(SeaPRwire) - 本文是《华盛顿简报》,《时代》政治新闻简报的一部分。注册 即可将此类故事发送到您的收件箱。 内布拉斯加州上次投票给非共和党籍参议员,还是在小布什担任总统、共和党占据主导地位的时代。因此,共和党人突然忙着确保共和党籍参议员黛布·菲舍尔能够获得第三个任期,而民主党人则对这个深红州可能至少愿意支持一位以独立人士身份参选的工会领导人抱有微弱的乐观情绪,这实在是令人好奇。 全国共和党人在过去一个月竞选活动中投入了大约 50 万美元的广告时间。一个与该州最富有的家庭之一有联系的外部组织向这个基金池追加了 200 万美元,用于帮助菲舍尔在与政治新手丹·奥斯本的竞选中摆脱困境。与此同时,全国民主党人公开否认有任何参与,但私下却在关注 ——虽然数量有限——表明内布拉斯加州可能比任何一个共和党选民登记人数占 2 比 1 的州都要接近。上个月下旬,最受尊敬的政治预测者 将对这场竞选的评级从共和党稳赢改为更接近中间的评级。而《纽约时报》/锡耶纳学院对另外三场吸引民主党人关注的参议员竞选的民意调查 在周四 表明,内布拉斯加州可能是民主党在参议院中保持任何影响力的最后希望。 简而言之,在平原地区:内布拉斯加州的参议员竞选有望成为本周期最出人意料的“黑马”,双方都没有预料到。 “这不是我打出的 BINGO 卡,”一位参与其他参议员竞选的民主党策略师说。 一位曾参与过参议员竞选的共和党策略师补充道:“如果黛布·菲舍尔遇到了麻烦,那么 [参议员]谢罗德·布朗、乔恩·泰斯特和鲍勃·凯西在反现任总统的一年里将会完蛋。” 民主党人今年面临着极其艰难的参议员席位保卫战,他们了解内布拉斯加州的形势。 是该州最近一位赢得参议员选举的民主党人,但那是在 2006 年。其他民主党人,如 、 和 以前曾被内布拉斯加州人选为他们的参议员,但他们已经属于不同的时代。民主党人今年甚至没有为该州提名候选人,而是认为他们的努力最好放在保卫俄亥俄州、蒙大拿州、宾夕法尼亚州和内华达州等地的现任议员身上。 内布拉斯加州并不在两党策略师花很多时间研究的地方,这是有充分理由的。民主党人预计菲舍尔会像 2018 年一样轻松获胜,当时她以 19 个百分点的优势获胜。两年后,唐纳德·特朗普总统以相同的优势赢得了该州。坦白地说,这对民主党人来说是一笔糟糕的投资。事实上,在共和党占优势的 和 中击败现任共和党议员似乎比在遍布全国中部的广阔共和党选民海域中寻找目标要好。 然而,在选举日不到一个月的时间里,共和党骑兵正奔向奥马哈的电波,以保护菲舍尔,这位在武装部队和拨款委员会担任重要职务的低调议员。菲舍尔在从政之前是一名养牛场主,她经常避开公众视线,专注于她选民所重视的当地问题,例如农业补贴和农村互联网接入。她一直是主流人士,没有共和党人能真正对她构成威胁。这就是 在共和党血液中流淌如此之晚的原因,而参议院的控制权正处于悬念之中。六个月前,内布拉斯加州的竞选还远没有达到竞争状态。 奥斯本则尽其所能保持与全国民主党人的距离。他承诺不会加入任何一个政党,这与目前参议院中四位 议员的做法不同,他们与参议院民主党人一起参加组织活动。奥斯本曾在 2021 年领导奥马哈的凯洛格公司工会罢工,他拒绝与伯尼·桑德斯或查克·舒默等全国自由派人士挂钩,而这两位人士也并没有试图将奥斯本的命运与他们的个人品牌联系在一起。 “人们只是渴望改变,无论是在哪一边,”奥斯本 对《华盛顿邮报》 说。与此同时,菲舍尔则将她的独立对手称为民主党人的“特洛伊木马”。 这场竞选的出人意料的竞争是多种因素共同作用的结果,其中包括超过 400 万美元的自由派暗箱广告。吸引力的部分原因是内布拉斯加州是仅有的两个州之一,其总统大选的州级获胜者不会自动获得该州所有选举人票。内布拉斯加州和缅因州是唯一两个通过国会选区分配部分选举人票的州。这一事实使内布拉斯加州的第二选区成为全国民主党人的主要目标,并且在该州奥马哈地区边缘地区出现了一波行动高潮。由于人们对此的兴趣如此浓厚,一家中西部印刷公司甚至开始 销售 将奥马哈宣传为该地区“蓝点”的广告。(乔·拜登和巴拉克·奥巴马都赢得了该选区。) 因此,随着这场竞选进入养牛场主和工会组织者之间的最后冲刺阶段,两党都对一场没人预料到的平原州竞选感到担忧。其他竞选活动也都在密切关注:如果反现任总统的潜在种子在内布拉斯加州如此之晚才开花结果,那么在其他地方可能会出现哪些令人震惊的激烈竞争呢? 了解华盛顿的重要信息。.本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

印尼19岁难民如何成为法瑞尔新电影的动画师 Latest News

印尼19岁难民如何成为法瑞尔新电影的动画师

(SeaPRwire) - 阿米尔·马赫迪·库尔巴尼小时候,他的母亲会从他那里购买故事。她从来没付过多少钱。作为他们家在德黑兰的一个非正式学校的唯一老师,她并没有多少钱。库尔巴尼最喜欢的故事讲述的是一个太空牛仔的冒险经历,他可以飞到宇宙的任何地方,在广阔的未知星系中冒险。“他可以探索宇宙,自由自在,诸如此类,” 19 岁的库尔巴尼通过视频通话从雅加达说道,他现在和父母和两个兄弟姐妹住在那里,住在一个难民机构提供的两间房间里。 他不记得他们大约十年前是如何来到印度尼西亚的。“我只记得当时充满了担忧,不知道我们将去哪里,以及一片黑暗,” 他说。他甚至不确定他的父母要去哪里(尽管历史和地理表明他们要去澳大利亚)。“我父母总是说,‘我们想为你找到一个地方,这样你才能有一个光明的未来,你才能真正地在那里归属,并称那里为家。’”他还记得,尽管他们不得不离开大家庭和大部分财产,但他带着他那小巧的乐高积木收藏。“它们只是我最喜欢的玩具,我用它们讲了许多故事。” 直到最近,这家人主要依靠国际难民组织的资助,库尔巴尼说每月大约 600 澳元(400 美元)。他们不能为印度尼西亚雇主工作,也不能去学校,所以库尔巴尼的正规教育在他 9 岁时基本上就结束了。他们的父母买了一台华硕笔记本电脑,库尔巴尼和他的兄弟姐妹试图继续他们的教育,学习英语,并在上面学习动画技能。 但是现在,年轻的库尔巴尼的想象力——以及他对乐高的热爱——吸引了一位比他母亲更富有的赞助人:好莱坞。库尔巴尼是数十位动画师中的一员,他们的作品出现在《逐块拼砌》中,这是歌手、制作人、设计师法瑞尔·威廉姆斯的新传记片,完全用乐高积木制作而成。这部电影追溯了法瑞尔在弗吉尼亚海滩的童年,音乐如何在他在学校不适应的时候为他提供了一条摆脱困境的途径,以及他的困难——包括他不寻常的思维方式——是如何成为他成功的道路的。 库尔巴尼设计了电影中 400 多个角色,主要是在人群场景中,并为该明星在海报中穿着的像素化的迷彩路易威登服装制作了乐高版本(实际服装)。而且,你可能不会相信,库尔巴尼也是法瑞尔的粉丝。“他的歌曲是最平静和最舒缓的,它们给了我所有作品的灵感,” 他说。“我最喜欢的两件事,乐高和法瑞尔,结合在一起了。我从未想过会发生这样的事情。” 好莱坞和库尔巴尼通过 Tongal 相遇,这是一个面向电影制作人的平台,将需要视频的人与拥有技能但没有行业联系的冉冉升起艺术家联系起来。当库尔巴尼几年前通过社交媒体上的乐高相关页面首次找到这家公司时,该公司在 2022 年宣布正在为一个乐高项目寻找角色动画师,库尔巴尼热切地提出了他的想法、作品集以及一些 3D 数字模型。几天后,他接到一个电话,提供给他一份工作,并要求他保守秘密,尽管他被允许告诉家人。“我无法形容我们听到这个消息时有多兴奋,” 他说。通过 Tongal,他已经为华纳传媒做了一些工作,但《逐块拼砌》是他参与的第一部院线电影——也是第一部与创作者平台合作制作的院线电影。 库尔巴尼说,他从法瑞尔克服挫折的决心中获得了灵感。作为几代难民,库尔巴尼一家经历过许多挫折。阿米尔的祖父,一位什叶派穆斯林,被赶出伊拉克,逃往伊朗,因为什叶派穆斯林的权利减少了。他的父母和兄弟姐妹都在伊朗出生,但没有被认定为公民,也没有获得获得公民身份或工作许可的途径。他的母亲在家里的一个小学校教难民儿童,他的父亲作为一名自学成才的电工工作,直到他们攒够了钱,付给走私者,帮助他们离开。像许多难民一样,他们到达了马来西亚,但无法再往前走。由于没有钱,也没有其他国家提供庇护,他们一直困在雅加达。 库尔巴尼在早上(在附近的公园快速慢跑后)尽其所能地继续学习,下午则努力完成所有需要的工作,然后在晚餐后,他和家人围坐在电脑前,观看他们在网上免费找到的电影。“如果我们能攒够钱,我们会买一台电视,” 他说。目前,库尔巴尼赚到的任何额外钱都花在了他买得起的最强大的电脑上,一台 MacBook Air,他用它来制作所有动画。 对于法瑞尔的项目,他被要求设计一系列不同时代的角色。“例如,我被要求为 1960 年代佛罗里达的海滩派对找到一套服装,” 他说。“然后,我被要求为这个场景制作 10 个角色。对于像我这样的人来说,从网上获取参考材料有点困难,但我尽力了,然后创建了我自己的角色。” 他首先在素描本上画下它们,然后在电脑上再次绘制它们,制作成 3D 版本。他的一些角色也被用于电影的自定义角色制作。 库尔巴尼承认,不陷入绝望很难。“我们经常失去希望,因为我们处于一种困境,” 他说着,变得情绪激动。“我们被困在这里,我们没有办法去其他地方。你没有像正常人一样生活的权利,所以你大多数时候都会感到绝望。” 但至少现在,正如音乐在法瑞尔的教育不顺利时为他提供了一条道路一样,动画也成为了库尔巴尼实现至少一个梦想的方式:创造一些世界可以看到的东西。擦干眼泪,他恢复了乐观的态度。“我父母确实说过,总有一天你会去某个地方,” 他说。“你会去某个地方。你会找到一个地方,你可以称之为家,并成为那里的公民。” 现在,他终于有了一些希望。“我现在的希望是,我的技能和创造力可以帮助我和我的家人过上更好的生活,” 他说。他可能还没有成为太空牛仔,但他已经来到了发射台。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

气象学家如何利用人工智能预测飓风米尔顿和其他风暴 Latest News

气象学家如何利用人工智能预测飓风米尔顿和其他风暴

(SeaPRwire) - 周三晚上,将成为2024年登陆美国本土的。随着像这样的风暴越来越频繁和强烈,人工智能在气象学家和其他科学家跟踪这些风暴并减轻其危害的努力中发挥着越来越重要的作用。 多年来,气象学家根据风速、温度、湿度和其他因素建立了复杂的风暴预报模型,并通过飞机、浮标和卫星的读数进行记录。但这些模型可能需要几个小时才能生成更新的预报。 另一方面,机器学习模型利用了对地球大气的大量了解以及先前风暴如何展开的数据。它们擅长模式识别,能在极短的时间内找出大多数人无法辨别出的趋势。今年,它们反复提供了准确的风暴相关预测,这些预测是在风暴袭击海岸前几秒钟内生成的,并且提前了几天。 “气象界在某些情况下不情愿地,在某些情况下则完全拥抱人工智能建模,”休斯顿的气象学家说。“就飓风而言,我们已经了解到人工智能建模可以与基于物理的模型相媲美,因此您必须使用它。” Lanza 说,本周,许多不同类型的模型之间达成了一致,认为米尔顿可能会在佛罗里达州的克利尔沃特和萨拉索塔之间登陆。Lanza 说,人工智能建模“可能比其他许多模型早了 12 到 18 个小时就发现了这种潜在的结果。” 人工智能跟踪风暴的准确性 这不是人工智能模型今年首次在传统模型之前预测飓风的路径。由谷歌人工智能公司 Deepmind 创建的 GraphCast,在 40 年的全球天气数据上训练了一个人工智能程序,并预测贝瑞尔,即 2024 年首个大型大西洋飓风,将在德克萨斯州登陆,而顶级欧洲模型则预测了墨西哥登陆。该项目背后的团队,其中一位评委称其为“革命性的进步”。 几个月后,一个名为 AIFS 的欧洲人工智能模型成功预测了登陆墨西哥湾沿岸的路径。“一致性令人难以置信,”Lanza 说。“即使是表现最好的传统模型,我相信也没有这么一致。”Lanza 说,该模型的准确性让他的团队相信这场风暴不会对德克萨斯州构成重大威胁,这使得地面上的人们能够更适当地进行计划和协调资源。 其他主要的预报模型包括由 NVIDIA 开发的,以及。国家飓风中心 (NHC) 已经将其纳入其预报流程,NHC 副主任 Jamie Rhome 称其为去年成功的“支柱”。“人工智能的复杂程度已经显著提高,并且仍在不断提高,这一点至关重要,因为我们只有三个小时的时间来进行预测,”他告诉 NBC 迈阿密。 尽管取得了成功,但该技术仍然存在很多问题。一项发现,虽然机器学习模型有效地预测了欧洲风暴 Ciarán 的大规模特征,但它们未能记录破坏性的地面风和其他风暴的异常方面。Lanza 说,人工智能模型往往低估了飓风的强度,有时难以衡量降水量。 由于存在这些错误,Lanza 说,气象学家不应完全依赖人工智能预报。“我们不会把缰绳交给这些东西,然后说,‘给我一个预报,我就把它重复一遍,”他说。“你仍然必须查看可用的更广泛的工具。” 预测风暴潮 在佛罗里达大学,人工智能科学家正在努力解决这些更细粒度的准确性问题之一:风暴潮将如何影响佛罗里达州的海岸线。Jiang 说,海岸线建模的人工智能落后于全球天气预报,因为缺乏高质量的训练数据,以及数据驱动的神经网络通常不知道基本的物理原理,比如水如何流动或分散。 为了推动该领域的发展,Jiang 和他的同事,包括海岸海洋学家,一直在基于海岸模拟训练一个 AI 代理。初步结果表明,这个 AI 生成的洋流预报速度比以前的模型快 500 倍。Jiang 希望很快为风暴潮训练这个模型,他希望这能够挽救生命并防止财产损失。“在目前的预报中,可能需要几个小时才能做出预报。如果我们将时间缩短到几秒钟,灾难管理人员可以提前计划更多时间,让更多人更好地为潜在的损失做好准备,”Jiang 说。 但 Jiang 谨慎地指出,仅仅使用通用人工智能模型来预测风暴潮可能会造成灾难性的后果。“神经网络有时会做出过于自信但并不准确的预测,在高风险决策中造成严重后果,”他说。 许多其他研究人员也已经开始了平行项目。迈阿密大学的一名研究人员正在,希望建立活动风暴系统的 3D 复制品,这样飞机就不必飞入风暴系统进行读数。另一家公司正在利用机器学习来尝试,以及受影响的居民人数。 Jiang 说,面对像米尔顿这样的飓风让他的工作更加紧迫:“我家附近正在发生越来越多像飓风米尔顿这样的严重事件和海岸线灾害,我们正在与时间赛跑,努力更快地开发人工智能技术。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

A Strategic Union: Public Bank to Acquire a Controlling Stake in LPI and the Teh Family Refines their Equity Position in Public Bank Berhad

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Public Bank Berhad (“Public Bank”) had on 10 October 2024 entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement (“SPA”) with the Estate of the Late Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr. Teh Hong Piow (“Estate”) and Consolidated Teh Holdings Sdn. Bhd. (“ConTeh”) to acquire in aggregate 175,896,000 ordinary shares in LPI Capital Bhd (“LPI”), representing approximately 44.15% equity interest in LPI, for a total cash consideration of RM1.72 billion (“Proposed Acquisition”).LPI, a company listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia, has been in operations for over 60 years and is mainly involved in the underwriting of general insurance. It currently has 21 branches throughout Malaysia, 1 branch in Singapore and also operates in Cambodia through an associate company.Speaking at the press conference after the SPA signing ceremony, Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr. Tay Ah Lek, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Public Bank said, “The Proposed Acquisition represents a strategic opportunity for Public Bank to further expand its general insurance segment into the Malaysian market through the LPI Group. This will allow the enlarged Public Bank Group to establish an immediate market presence and strong foothold in the general insurance segment in Malaysia as a comprehensive complementary service to its current financial services and Family Takaful offerings.”He further added that, “The Proposed Acquisition is also in line with our Group’s plans to expand beyond just organic growth but through strategic acquisitions to expand our product and service offerings as evident by our recent completion of the acquisition of Public Bank Securities Vietnam Company Limited which allowed our Group to expand our financial services offering in Vietnam with the inclusion of securities trading services.”Tan Sri Tay concluded by saying, “This strategic acquisition of LPI Group, a long-established and leading general insurance player in Malaysia, represents a clear and unique opportunity for us to accelerate our vision to move towards a “Universal Banking Model” that offers comprehensive and diverse range of financial and other related products and services under the same group.With our existing network of over 260 branches located throughout the country, LPI Group would be able to leverage and expand its distribution channels and further grow its general insurance business in Malaysia. In addition, we would also be able to tap into the sales and distribution network of LPI and further expand our reach to cover clients and customers of LPI.Aside from the mutual cross selling of products and services, Public Bank and LPI will also explore possibilities on developing new integrated products and services catering to our customers’ financial and insurance needs.”As this is a related party transaction, the Proposed Acquisition is subject to the approval of the non-interested shareholders of Public Bank at an Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) to be held at a later date. Should the Proposed Acquisition be approved at the EGM, Public Bank will be obliged to extend an unconditional mandatory take-over offer (“MGO”) (“Proposed Offer”) for the remaining equity interest in LPI not already owned by it.It is pertinent to note that Public Bank has received the approval from the Ministry of Finance and Bank Negara Malaysia for the Proposed Acquisition and is expected to complete this corporate exercise in the 1st quarter of 2025.Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Proposed Acquisition is expected to be value accretive and contribute positively to the future earnings of the Public Bank Group.At the same press conference, Teh Li Shian Diona, the youngest daughter of the late Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr. Teh Hong Piow also announced that the Estate and ConTeh intends to undertake a restricted offer for sale (“ROFS”) of a portion of their Public Bank Shares, progressively over a 5-year period and will be in compliance with the Financial Services Act.Diona Teh said, “My father often said that the success of Public Bank was not his alone – it is built on the trust and loyalty of its shareholders and the relentless commitment of its employees, or as he would like to call them his “corporate family”.“To honour his legacy and to show our deep appreciation and gratitude, we will be undertaking an exercise to distribute a portion of our Public Bank shares at a discount to all employees, directors and eligible shareholders of the Public Bank Group. This initiative aims to ensure that Public Bank remains in the hands of those who have nurtured its growth and success over the years, enabling us to continue building our legacy together.”She further added that, “Although we will be streamlining our stake, I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate our firm and unwavering commitment to continue as the major shareholders of Public Bank. This is not just a role or title for us – it is an honour and a responsibility that we deeply cherish. We are devoted to upholding my father’s legacy and continuing the stewardship of this esteemed institution.”“For this, we are deeply grateful to Bank Negara Malaysia and the Ministry of Finance for their trust in us by granting us the approval to continue helming Public Bank. With their support, we will perform our utmost best to lead Public Bank with the same passion, integrity, and vision that has defined the PBB group thus far.”Issued By: Swan Consultancy Sdn.

Lexus Introduces Enhancements to the LX Series and the All-New LX 700h Featuring a Newly Developed Advanced Hybrid System JCN Newswire

Lexus Introduces Enhancements to the LX Series and the All-New LX 700h Featuring a Newly Developed Advanced Hybrid System

TOKYO, Oct 10, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Lexus brings new enhancements to the LX and introduces the LX 700h, featuring the brand's newly developed hybrid system, which was announced on October 10th. A phased rollout across various regions is scheduled to begin in late 2024.Since its founding in 1989, Lexus has consistently upheld a spirit of innovation, continually striving to provide customers with new technologies and value. With the aim of achieving a carbon-neutral society and the desire to enrich automotive lifestyles with one's car, we will continue to provide a diverse range of options to meet the needs of customers around the world.The LX is a flagship SUV based on the concept of "effortless and refined driving on any road around the world." It combines driving performance that can handle any road in the world, while still providing the signature refined comfort of a Lexus. It is now beloved by customers in over 50 countries across the globe.At the same time, it was also the only model in the Lexus lineup that did not have an electrified vehicle option.Introducing the LX 700h, Lexus has developed a new parallel hybrid system that prioritizes preserving the "reliability," "durability," and "off-road performance" that the LX series has cultivated over generations, even amidst the shift to electrification. By utilizing motor torque to achieve the signature Lexus driving experience, annual CO2 emissions across all global vehicles will be significantly reduced, further improving environmental performance.Lexus has further refined its distinctive Lexus Driving Signature by enhancing the core fundamentals, including the engine model. The "engaging driving dialogue" that reacts instantly to driver inputs has been further refined while the vehicle has been upgraded with the latest Lexus Safety System + (LSS+) for enhanced safety and peace of mind.To further meet the diverse needs of our global customers, we have added the new OVERTRAIL series. With the early launch of the GX and NX OVERTRAIL models, we will continue to expand the lineup of the LEXUS OVERTRAIL PROJECT.Takami Yokoo, Lexus International Chief EngineerIn 2021, the LX underwent a full model change based on the concept of "effortless and refined driving on any road," earning widespread acclaim from customers worldwide, for which we are sincerely grateful. However, it posed a challenge within the Lexus lineup, as it remained the only model without an electrified option―despite our commitment to achieving a carbon-neutral society. For those of us who have been deeply involved with the LX over the years, electrifying it for use in demanding global environments seemed both an immense challenge and a long-held aspiration.During development, we were determined in our commitment not to compromise the reliability, durability, and off-road performance that has defined previous LX models, even with electrification. Our goal was to ensure safe, reliable operation, allowing customers to return home safely, while preserving the true Lexus driving experience. The solution we reached, as a unified development team, was the development of a new parallel hybrid system along with upgrades to the GA-F platform.Three years after the release of the gasoline and diesel models, we have further refined the Lexus Driving Signature, while enhancing both safety and comfort features. Our extensive ongoing driving flavor refinements have been fully integrated into the HEV models, elevating the "engaging driving dialogue" with the car. With updates to the electronic platform and the latest enhancements to LSS+, we have introduced improvements that make driving even more effortless and refined. We invite you to experience the new LX, thoughtfully crafted with the passion and dedication of our development team, as we embrace the next chapter of electrification with the HEV models.For more information, visit https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/lexus/41628808.html.

你的牙刷和淋浴喷头里住着大量的病毒 Latest News

你的牙刷和淋浴喷头里住着大量的病毒

(SeaPRwire) - 别再担心公共厕所了:事实证明,你自己的浴室里充满了病毒。 西北大学的研究人员研究了大多数人每天都会使用的东西——他们的牙刷和淋浴喷头——看看里面住着什么。 领导这项专注于识别浴室中潜伏的病毒物种的研究的西北大学土木与环境工程副教授埃里卡·哈特曼说,他们发现的结果“相当令人惊讶”。她说,最出乎意料的是,“我们能认出的看起来像以前见过的东西少之又少。我们发现了难以置信的多样性,这突显了我们知之甚少,还有多少需要探索和发现。” 但在你扔掉牙刷或拆卸淋浴喷头之前,请记住,哈特曼和她的团队发现的绝大多数病毒都是一种名为噬菌体的特定物种,或者几乎只感染细菌细胞而不感染人类细胞的病毒。科学家们对噬菌体已经了解了近一个世纪,但直到最近才开发出识别和更详细地研究噬菌体的工具。 哈特曼说:“我们对噬菌体知之甚少,”她在 10 月 9 日发表在《微生物组前沿》杂志上的论文中写道。“但了解它们并在微生物学领域拓宽我们的视野,可能会在其他地方产生深远的影响。” 研究人员、科学家和药物开发人员已经利用噬菌体及其感染细菌的能力来更好地理解和输送可能杀死某些细菌的化合物。这些努力可能会导致更有效的抗菌选择,而无需使用抗生素,细菌对抗生素的耐药性会迅速发展。“噬菌体非常迷人,代表着我所说的生物学或微生物学的下一个前沿,”哈特曼说。 这项研究的灵感来自一项研究,在这项研究中,她和她的团队对浴室中发现的细菌进行了编目,此前人们表达了对每次冲马桶时细菌是否会喷入空气,从而可能污染他们的牙刷的担忧。在那项研究中,哈特曼的团队得出结论,这种担忧是毫无根据的,因为他们识别出的绝大多数细菌都是来自人们口腔的菌株。这一次,他们将注意力转向病毒——并发现了噬菌体宇宙。 好消息是,由于噬菌体不会感染人类细胞,“我认为我们的结果中没有任何东西会让人担心,”哈特曼说。“绝对没有什么可担心的,所以没有理由因为这个而扔掉你的牙刷。” 然而,这些发现确实表明,存在一个有待探索的噬菌体世界。“即使识别牙刷和淋浴喷头上的噬菌体,也扩展了我们对噬菌体生物学的了解,并可以帮助我们解释为什么噬菌体疗法在不同的情况下有效或无效,”她说。“我们学到的越多,就能更好地为基于噬菌体的疗法提供信息。” 研究人员发现的多样性——没有两把牙刷或两个淋浴喷头拥有相同的噬菌体种群——预示着可能成为新疗法基础的庞大噬菌体目录。这些发现还拓宽了我们对微生物对人类的影响范围的理解,无论是好是坏。“我们不知道自己究竟接触到了哪些微生物以及何时接触,或者它们是如何促进健康或福祉的,”哈特曼说。“但总的来说,重要的是带着一种敬畏和好奇而不是恐惧的态度看待我们周围的微生物。如果我们能弄清楚所有微生物都在做什么,以及它们是如何做的,我们就可以更刻意地护理像牙刷这样的东西——反过来,更好地照顾我们自己和我们的环境。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
