Consumer Electronics Daily News Wednesday, January 10, 2018 4 0 QIHAN's Sanbot Robot Brings Litigation Services to Beijing First Intermediate People's Court Officials at Beijing First Intermediate People's Court began using Sanbot King Kong, an AI-powered robot designed by QIHAN, to perform basic litigation services at the courthouse. The service robot, Xiaofa, joins more than 30 intelligent solutions recently introduced as part of the Court's All- orientation Service & Whole-process Conciliation. At 1.5 meters, Xiaofa is equipped with multiple 3D vSLAM (vision simultaneous localization and mapping) cameras and six built-in microphones, allowing it to interact with courthouse visitors and perform basic litigation services. Powered by IBM Watson and Nuance, Xiaofa uses innovative speech recognition technology to transfer visi- tor inquiries to designated service por- tals. "The Xiaofa humanoid robot is capable of memorizing and explaining over 7,000 Chinese laws and regulations, allowing it to assist visitors who would like to learn more about the litigation process, its rules and details of prior cases," said Zhao Lan, litigation manage- ment official at Beijing First Intermediate People's Court. Xiaofa's intelligent litigation servic- es will offer convenience to lawyers and citizens by reducing wait times and cost of resources, raising efficiency within a rapidly growing market. "Integrating robots is a cost-effec- tive, efficient way to provide impor- tant information to the public sector," said Ryan Wu, Vice President of QIHAN. "From the home to the facto- ry and now to the courthouse, robot- ics-as-a-service is an instrumental industry solution that is transforming how we interact with the world around us." The Beijing First Intermediate People's Court is just one of the several government departments in the Chinese public sector to adopt artificial intelli- gence and robotic services. Genovation Cars: The Green Car Company By Steve Keyes, Communications Director, Centigrade for Genovation Cars Genovation's long-term goal is to be a premier provider of high performance sustainable automobiles. Genovation is committed to advancing the state of the art in EV technology with the knowledge that performance EVs will accelerate the delivery of sustainable products for future generations. The Genovation GXE Corvette all electric supercar has broken several significant world records on mul- tiple occasions while reimagining an American icon. Genovation is raising the bar in energy storage, propulsion, com- posite and suspension technologies. We ask our customers to join us on this jour- ney. In recent years, several issues have converged to create a demand for the kind of vehicle Genovation builds: Climate change, due to high carbon dioxide emissions, is now a widely accepted fact. As a global community, we must all take whatever actions we can to reduce harmful greenhouse gases. A recent draft report from the US Government titled Climate Science Special Report finds it "extremely likely that more than half of the rise in temper- ature over the past four decades has been caused by human activity." There has been an increase in the awareness of the negative effects of air pollution, especially on the young and old. The World Health Organization has estimated that up to 2.4 million people a year die from causes directly attributed to air pollution. Research has shown a correla- tion between air pollu- tion and the incidences of asthma, particularly among children. As atmospheric CO 2 levels rise, the gas dissolves into our oceans, causing the water to become more acidic. Ocean acidifi- cation negatively impacts biodiversity and is particularly damaging to shellfish and kelp, putting fisheries around the globe at risk. The Genovation team is comprised of a small and capable group of engineers and automotive experts that are commit- ted to building world class products. In order to achieve this goal, Genovation has teamed with one of the world's preeminent contract manufac- turers, The Prefix Corporation, to make the GXE a reality. Steeped in Detroit and European auto- motive know how, Prefix is helping make the GXE a stylish, robust, world class electric supercar. At the same time, we have teamed with a number of smaller technology com- panies, like Stafl Systems, that bring a fresh approach to innovation in the automotive sector. The combina- tion of large and small, of traditional and new organizations, has resulted in the creation of the world's fastest certified street legal electric supercar, the Genovation GXE.

SecuRam SmartEntry with Waterproof Finger Vein ID Technology SecuRam Systems, a leader in electronic security, is pleased to introduce SecuRam SmartEntry front door lock incorporating the latest biometric authentication – Finger Vein ID. Finger Vein ID technology goes well beyond fingerprint scanning – it analyzes the blood vessel or vascular pattern below the epidermal layer of your finger and then using its unique matching algo- rithm, validates entry to only enrolled users. One of the great deficiencies associ- ated with fingerprint biometrics has been its inability to work in outdoor condi- tions. With its invention of waterproof Finger Vein ID, SecuRam has delivered the absolute security of advanced bio- metric access to virtually any installation condition. Finger Vein ID was already a remarkable advance; SecuRam has per- fected it even further. With customers and applications ranging from home access to banking and automotive securi- ty, SecuRam remains the reference stan- dard in authentication technology. Blood vessel patterns are unique to each individual, as are other biometric data such as fingerprints or the patterns of the iris. However, unlike some biomet- ric systems, blood vessel patterns are almost impossible to counterfeit because they are located beneath the skin's surface. Biometric systems based on fingerprints, depending upon the technology, can be fooled with a dummy finger fitted with a copied fingerprint. The Finger Vein ID system is much harder to fool and it requires the finger of a liv- ing person to authenticate. SmartEntry represents a break- through in high security authentication for home or office use. This technology was once only available on high-end security equipment used by high tech companies. SecuRam Systems is the first security company to successfully incor- porate this very secure biometric authen- tication system into access control prod- ucts for everyday use. Simply touch the SmartEntry scanner and then the science goes to work to determine if you are an enrolled user. A pos- itive match sends a signal to the SmartEntry door lock to open immediately, allowing fast and secure access to your home or office. With optional Wi-Fi connectivity, you can manage and monitor your SmartEntry from your smartphone. SecuRam SmartEntry: Highly secure, easy-to-use biometric technology to protect those most precious to you. For more information, stop by booth #42358 or go to www.securamsys.com.
