Hyundai Addresses Pediatric Heatstroke Prevention

Thirteen Hyundai and Genesis products feature Rear-Occupant Alert technology; Blue Link Connected Car advanced technology provides driver direct alerts

– 2021 Palisade, Santa Fe, Santa Fe HEV, Sonata, Sonata HEV, Elantra, Elantra HEV and the all-new 2022 Tucson variants include standard Rear-Occupant Alert door-logic

– Palisade, Santa Fe, 2022 Tucson, Tucson HEV, Tucson PHEV and Tucson N Line with available Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert sensor

– Genesis G80 and GV80 with available Rear-Occupant Alert and available Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert sensor

– Santa Fe HEV standard Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert sensor

PR Newswire

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Hyundai continues to proactively address the safety issue of pediatric heatstroke as the result of children being left unattended in vehicles in high temperatures during warmer months. The company now features thirteen products with Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) systems as standard or optional (Palisade, Santa Fe, Santa Fe HEV, Sonata, Sonata HEV, Elantra, Elantra HEV, Tucson, Tucson HEV, Tucson PHEV and Tucson N-Line, as well as Genesis GV80 and G80). The innovative ROA technology addresses and helps to prevent potentially fatal outcomes. Hyundai proudly remains the only OEM to provide such a sophisticated sensing-based alert with flashing lights, honking the horn and sending a text message via the Blue Link connected car system, directing the driver to immediately check their vehicle’s backseat once they have departed and locked the vehicle.

The Palisade, Santa Fe, Santa Fe HEV, Sonata, Sonata HEV, Elantra, Elantra HEV and the all-new 2022 Tucson variants include Rear-Occupant Alert (ROA) systems as standard. Hyundai has also made its optional Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert, or a similar sensor-based system, available on more of its models including the Palisade, Santa Fe and all-new 2022 Tucson variants – SUV vehicles often driven by families with young children; in addition to both the Genesis GV80 and G80 vehicles.

“As we continue to develop safety systems that help protect our customers and make our roads safer, we have turned our attention to the upcoming summer months and the prevention of pediatric heat stroke,” said Brian Latouf, chief safety officer, Hyundai Motor North America. “The creative ROA technologies found in Hyundai products, have the ability to alert and save precious lives during a momentary lapse in judgement and/or unawareness on how quickly a vehicles’ interior can heat up in summer temperatures. Anyone who sees an unattended child in a parked car is urged to call emergency services and stay with the car until help arrives. All drivers should always lock their cars when not in use and keep keys away from children.”

Hyundai currently offers two types of ROA systems to help prevent these tragedies from occurring. The ROA door-logic system detects if a rear door was opened or closed when the car was started, then reminds the driver to check the rear seat with a message on the center cluster when exiting the vehicle. The Ultrasonic ROA has the door-logic technology and an ultrasonic sensor to detect the movements of children and pets in the second-row seats. If the system detects movement in the second-row seats, after the driver leaves the vehicle and locks the doors, it will honk the horn and send an alert to the driver’s smartphone via Hyundai’s Blue Link connected car system (if equipped with Blue Link and the Blue Link service has been activated).

The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, (NHTSA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT), recently launched their annual Pediatric Heatstroke prevention and public awareness program Look Before You Lock. Highlights include recognizing a child’s sensitivity to heat:

  • In 10 minutes, a car’s interior temperature can rise about 20 degrees.
  • Even at an outside temperature of 70 degrees, the temperature inside your car can reach over 115 degrees.
  • A child can die when his/her body temperature reaches 107 degrees.

If someone else is driving your child, or your daily routine has been altered, always check to make sure your child has arrived safely to their destination. Tips on NHTSA’s Child Heatstroke prevention program can be found here.

Safety reminder – Please buckle-up!
Seat belts save lives every day.  Always wear seat belts and use appropriate restraints for all child passengers.

Coway Wins Red Dot and iF Design Award for Innovative Home Appliances

PR Newswire

SEOUL, South Korea, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Coway, “The Best Life Solution Company,” has won the highly coveted Red Dot Award: Product Design 2021 for 3 products, and the iF Design Award 2021 for 1 product. This is the 15th consecutive year that Coway has been recognized for product design excellence at the Red Dot Design Award, and the 13th year at the iF Design Award.

The Red Dot Award and iF Design Award are among the world’s most sought-after awards for design that honor innovative companies and praise excellence in concept design. For more than a decade, Coway has consistently received both.

Coway air purifier AP-2021A, AP-1720H, and water purifier P-3100R were awarded Red Dot awards in the product design category.

Air purifier AP-2021A also won the esteemed iF Design Award, while AP-1720H and P-3100R were named finalists.

The multi-award-winning Coway AP-2021A is a premium tower-type air purifier that adds extra elegance to any space, like a piece of art. Inspired by architecture, the horizontally layered intake grill symbolically shows the more powerful 360-degrees, 4-dimensional, all-around intake.

Coway AP-1720H is an air purifier highly admired for its design that blends beautifully into the home and feels more like a piece of furniture or artwork than a conventional home appliance. The innovative magnetic front cover lets consumers explore more design possibilities and find a look that fits their taste.

Under-sink water purifier, Coway P-3100R, is designed for space efficiency and convenient use. The frequently-used faucet is placed on the countertop, while the filtration system, which users rarely touch except for during replacements, is placed discreetly under the sink to free up counter space. The faucet features a control panel for easy visibility of the filter condition and purifying options.

Coway designs products that help consumers create healthier daily routines through delightful everyday experiences. 

All products are designed to reflect how people live for a truly customer-centric product experience. Every product is thoughtfully designed to blend into its surroundings with a discreet size, unique texture, meaningful functionality, and premium aesthetic. Just like water and air are crucial parts of life that aren’t always seen, Coway products naturally blend into every day and improve the quality of life.

“The Red Dot Award and iF Design Award are a true recognition of Coway’s consumer-centric product design,” said Hyun Joo Song, head of the Product Center at Coway. “Coway aims to create a healthy and convenient living environment based on intuitive product design. We’ll continue to improve our products’ functionality and aesthetics through design that reflects how our consumers live.”

Supply chain disruptions, health and safety measures and operational challenges have highlighted this need for data-driven innovation,” said, Radhika Krishnan, Chief Product Officer, Hitachi Vantara. “Today’s advancements allow our customers to make faster, more informed decisions so industries can thrive in our rapidly digitalizing future.”

Delivering Deeper Insights and Faster Time to Value
Hitachi Vantara is accelerating industrial digitalization with major enhancements to data-driven offerings for manufacturing, extending AI and automation from edge to core, and delivering deep real-time insights from new combinations of data and connections.


    • Lumada Manufacturing Insights
      :
      • This industry solution delivers greater visibility across a customers’ supply chain subsystems with the supply chain module’s ability to implement supply chain control tower solutions and take direct, demand-driven action.
      • Integrating and correlating data from multiple sources– from asset health data to vibration, video, lidar and audio – to detect potential failure of a machine, manufacturers can better predict points of failure and perform preventive maintenance, reducing downtime and improving output.
      • Also new is the ability to automate forms for digitization of factory floor processes – a practice that is still largely done with pen, paper and spreadsheets – to establish ‘if this, then that’ protocols across manufacturing processes.
      • Lumada Manufacturing Insights is now also available on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace for easier integration with Microsoft cloud environments.

    • Smart Spaces & Lumada Video Insights

      • Sensor fusion creates the ability to co-analyze video, lidar, and other data to enable new use cases such as quality assurance and analysis of human-machine interaction, while improving accuracy.

    • Lumada Edge Intelligence
      : 
      • Integration between the Lumada software platform and Google Cloud allows customers to speedup data preparation by adjusting resources on-demand and combining multiple data types for better insights.

We look forward to leveraging the capabilities of the Supply Chain Control Tower even further—gaining insight on factors impacting supply and consumer demand.”

“Our industry is experiencing rapid digitalization and a distinct increase in the pace of business. This underscores the need for more agility and predictability in everything we do and what we deliver to our customers,” says Petra Sundström, VP & Head of Digital Offering, Sandvik Rock Processing at industrial manufacturer Sandvik. “We’re collaborating with Hitachi to innovate our business models. With Lumada Manufacturing Insights, we are now able to offer predictive maintenance as a service–delivering the outcomes our customers are looking for in this digital era.”

“For manufacturers to get real end-to-end benefits from data-driven solutions, it’s important to focus not only on the obvious areas of production. Other data sources and solutions beyond the factory floor should also be looked at. For example, use video analytics to study material flow from receiving dock to warehouse to shop floor; use lidar to monitor employee movements from a safety perspective. There are so many ways to use this technology, and the applications become more apparent as the team familiarizes with the sensors and analytics,” says Allen Ahlert, senior director, Engineering with Hitachi Computer Products (America), Inc. which leverages Lumada solutions at its 352,000 sq. ft manufacturing and supply facility in Norman, OK. “Hitachi Vantara has been able to approach this holistically beyond what point solutions can do to create comprehensive, rich insights across facilities and processes.”

Aurcana Provides Construction Update and Production Outlook for Its Revenue Virginius Mine for the Remainder of 2021


NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AURCANA SILVER CORPORATION (“Aurcana” or the “Company“) (TSXV: AUN, OTCQX: AUNFF) is pleased to provide a construction update and a production outlook for the remainder of 2021 for its Revenue Virginius Mine, (RV) located near Ouray, Colorado.


Mine Development

  • Underground mine development is proceeding on schedule with three raises being driven vertically from the 2000 main haulage level 800 feet to the 1200 level (See Figure 1 below).
  • The #1 Alimak raise is advancing vertically at an average rate exceeding 16 feet per day and is scheduled to be complete by late May, after which the hoist and shaft timber will be installed for permanent men and material access.
  • The #2 Alimak raise has progressed up to the 1500 level and is temporarily being used for men and materials transport from the 2000 level to the 1800 and 1500 level pending completion of #1 Alimak raise.
  • The #3 Alimak raise vertical development began in May and is scheduled to reach the 1800 level by the third week of May.
  • On completion of #1 Alimak raise, the #2 and #3 Alimak raises will be dedicated ore and waste raises.
  • Level (horizontal) development has commenced on the 1800 level to intersect the Virginius vein, which is scheduled to occur during the third week of May. Following this, development will continue by driving drifts both north and south on vein for over 1000 feet to prepare for stope development.
  • Stope development on the 1800 level is estimated to begin in late June with first ore to the mill in early July.
  • Ore development on 1800 level is on schedule to deliver initial ore to the processing plant in July. Two stopes (mining blocks) on the 1800 level will provide the initial ore supply while stopes on the 1500 level are developed.
  • It is anticipated that four stopes will be available by year end 2021 (two stopes per level) to supply the processing plant. However only two stopes are required to provide the 270 tons per day as specified in the 2018 feasibility study (the “2018 FS”) prepared in accordance with National Instrument NI 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). A copy of the 2018 FS is posted on the Company’s website www.aurcana.com and is also available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.


Processing Plant Preparation

  • All processing plant upgrades including installing additional flotation capacity, replacing cyclones with sizing screens, installing a rod mill, installing crushers and conveyors along with a new instrument control system will be completed by mid-June. Processing plant commissioning with water is scheduled for the last week of June with first ore through the processing plant in the second week of July.
  • Final work on the transition chute from the coarse ore bin to the new primary pan feeder is scheduled to be completed by July 10th, 2021 and will enable full processing plant operation.
  • Throughput will be ramped up over the course of July to reach 111 tons per day (tpd) during August, and then to the full production level of 270 tpd during September.
  • Concentrate shipments will be in 100 ton lots and are anticipated to begin in early August. Trafigura Trading LLC is the off-taker for 100% of the concentrates and will pay the value of 95% of the contained metals based on the mine site concentrate assays at the time of shipment, with final settlement based on smelter returns.
  • Payable silver equivalent1 production for the period between August to December 2021 is anticipated to be 1,300,000-1,600,000 ounces at an estimated cash operating costs of between USD10.00 to USD12.00/oz silver after by-product credits2.
