Global Manufacturing Companies Trust LandingLens to Enhance Their Existing Visual Inspection Systems with AI

PALO ALTO, Calif. – October 21, 2020 – Landing AI, a company that empowers customers to harness the business value of AI by providing enablement tools and transformation programs, today unveiled LandingLens, an end-to-end visual inspection platform specifically designed to help manufacturers build, deploy, and scale AI-powered visual inspection solutions.

Visual inspection is a widely used method in manufacturing for processes like defect identification and assembly verification. While this has generally been performed by human workers and traditional rule-based machine vision, more and more companies are turning to AI to automate and enhance their visual inspection operations given the accuracy, flexibility and low cost that the technology brings.

Faces of hope: Meet Israel’s first vaccine volunteers

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

This includes volunteering to test the new vaccine being developed by the Israeli Institute for Biological Research in Ness Ziona. Meet some of the heroes who are doing their bit for humanity.

The research center said it will begin the clinical trials phase of its COVID-19 vaccine in November and about one hundred Israelis aged 18–55 are expected to participate by the time the trials are over. The first phase will include three brave volunteers and will take place in Sheba Medical Center in Tel HaShomer and Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem.

As with any other clinical trials, participants will be divided into two groups: those who will receive the real vaccine and those who will receive a fake vaccine, also known as placebo.

Breakthrough Shows Neuropilin-1 Drives SARS-CoV-2 Infectivity

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, innovation

In a major breakthrough an international team of scientists, led by the University of Bristol, has potentially identified what makes SARS-CoV-2 highly infectious and able to spread rapidly in human cells. The findings, published in Science today [20 October] describe how the virus’s ability to infect human cells can be reduced by inhibitors that block a newly discovered interaction between virus and host, demonstrating a potential anti-viral treatment.

Laser-Beam Helical Drilling of High Quality Micro Holes☆

Posted by in category: futurism

Circa 2013


A large variety of modern components and products such as fuel injectors and spinning nozzles require holes drilled to very high standards as fare as roundness, diameter and aspect ratio are concerned. Laser-beam helical drilling has shown great promise to produce such high quality micro holes. In helical drilling, the laser beam is rotated relative to the work piece. In this case, the rotational movement is produced using a Dove prism, mounted in a high speed, hollow shaft motor. Different kind of holes are drilled and investigated with respect to hole-quality and drilling time.

‘Quark Fusion’ Could Outperform Nuclear Fusion

Posted by in categories: nuclear energy, particle physics

Circa 2017


In a few decades, we might get all our power from nuclear fusion. Researchers have been working to build functional nuclear fusion reactors, which mimic the fusion reactions that occur in the sun to generate power. Once we figure out fusion power, we could use these generators to power our lives for decades.
