博世攜手清華大學推進人工智慧研究
Bosch Partners With Tsinghua University To Advance AI Research
博世與清華大學宣布,清華大學-博世機器學習聯合研究中心正式成立。雙方將在人工智慧領域開展為期五年的合作。
Bosch and Tsinghua University announced a five-year cooperation in the area of artificial intelligence centering on the establishment ofthe Tsinghua-Bosch Joint Research Center on Machine Learning。
博世將投入5000萬元人民幣,攜手清華大學推動工業領域人工智慧前沿技術的研發。
Bosch is investing 50 million RMB (around 6 million EUR) in this partnership with Tsinghua geared towards driving advanced research and development work inthe field of industrial artificial intelligence。
合作雙方將圍繞機器學習這一工業人工智慧研發與應用的核心領域展開相關研究,包括基礎理論研究、概率編程平臺的發展以及人工智慧在智能製造的應用等。
Both partners will direct their effortstowards joint projects in machine-learning, an area vital to industrial AI development and application。 The collaboration will encompass fundamental theoretical research, advances of a probabilistic programming platform, and thedevelopment of AI applications for intelligent manufacturing。
此外,博世還將額外投入500萬元人民幣,設立博世人工智慧冠名教授基金,以支持清華大學計算機科學與技術系教授的人工智慧研究。
In addition, Bosch will set up a 5-million-RMB (around 0.6 million EUR) Bosch AI Professor Fund to sponsor the research activities of professors at the Department of Computer Science of Tsinghua University。
到2025年,博世目標其每款產品都將帶有人工智慧功能,或者在開發和生產過程中運用人工智慧技術。
By 2025, the aim is for all Bosch products to either contain AI or have been developed or manufactured with its help。
目前,博世已在德國、美國、印度、以色列和中國設立了7個人工智慧研究中心。自建立以來,博世人工智慧中心已開展超過160個項目, 涉及移動出行、工業製造、農業和智能家居等多個領域。
Currently, Bosch operates seven AI centers worldwide, in Germany, U.S, India, Israel and China with more than 160 projects now underway in the domains of mobility, manufacturing, agriculture, and smart homes。
亞行將注資2億美元緩解抗疫供應鏈壓力
ADB To Provide $200 Million To Support Strained Supply Chains in Fight Against COVID-19
亞洲開發銀行(亞行)將通過其「供應鏈融資計劃」出資2億美元,支持生產和配送抗擊新型冠狀病毒所需藥品及物資的企業。
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will make available $200 million through its Supply Chain Finance Program for companies manufacturing and distributing medicines and other items needed to combat the novel coronavirus (COVID-19)。
由於加大馬力抗擊疫情,藥品及個人防護設備等物資的生產和配送企業壓力漸增。
Companies manufacturing and distributing products, including medicines and personal protective equipment, are increasingly strained as production and distribution ramp up to address COVID-19。
亞行將攜手商業銀行,為亞太地區此類企業補充營運資金,從而滿足擴產等需求。
The support from ADB, working in partnership with commercial banks, will provide such companies in Asia and the Pacific with additional working capital to meet expansion and other requirements。
鑑於單一資金池的供應鏈融資帳期一般為120~180天,兩億美元授信可在未來12個月內撬動超過4億美元的融資。
Given that a single pool of supply chain finance is typically used for a subsequent delivery over a period of 120–180 days, the $200 million facility could support more than $400 million of financing over the next 12 months。
而與合作商業銀行間風險五五均攤,該授信項下同期撬動的融資可高達8億美元。
Fifty-fifty risk sharing from partner commercial banks could boost support under the facility to $800 million over the same period。
該筆資金將通過亞行的「供應鏈融資計劃」提供,在數周內提供給選定企業。亞行正在密切監測疫情對貿易融資的影響,並與客戶銀行定期溝通,以評估是否需要額外支持。
The funds will be made available through ADBs Supply Chain Finance Program and provided to selected companies within weeks。 ADB is closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on trade finance and is in regular contact with client banks to assess whether additional support is required。
灰色水泥邁向綠色時代
Grey2Green Driven By thyssenkrupp
蒂森克虜伯與中材國際環境工程(北京)有限公司籤訂合同,首次將prepol-SC技術引入中國,通過使用替代燃料並提高其使用效率,從而實現綠色環保的水泥生產,可謂變廢為寶。
thyssenkrupp has signed a contract with Sinoma International Environmental Engineering CO。, LTD to introduce prepol-SC technology to China for the first time。 By using alternative fuels and improving their efficiency, the solution can support to achieve green cement production, turning 「waste」 into 「treasure」。
水泥行業是全球第三大工業能源消費行業,也是二氧化碳的第二大工業排放行業。
Cement industry is the worlds third largest industrial energy consumption industry, and the second largest industrial carbon emissions industry。
近年來全球每年水泥產量高達40億噸,而中國產量就佔全球一半以上。控制水泥行業的能源效率以及二氧化碳排放對全球氣候變化意義深遠。
In recent years, the world『s annual cement production reaches up to 4 billion tons, while China accounts for more than half of the world’s production。 Controlling energy efficiency and CO2 emissions in cement industry is crucial for global climate change。
蒂森克虜伯為水泥廠提供的prepol-SC是一種非常簡單高效的燃燒爐排,由多個靜態的,不移動的耐火階梯組成,故系統命名為「階梯式燃燒爐」。
The prepol-SC from thyssenkrupp is a very simple combustion grate, made of several static and non-moving refractory steps, giving the system its name: Step combustor。
在燃燒爐排上,廢物可以在高溫下燃燒超過1,000秒。與普通分解爐燃燒技術(燃燒時間最長僅為7秒)相比,該技術可以利用新的廢棄物進行燃燒,開啟了燃燒的新維度,並且高效可靠。
On this simple combustion grate, waste can burn for more than 1,000 seconds at high temperatures。 Compared to ordinary calciner technology with only up to 7 seconds residence time, the prepol-SC opens a new dimension in combustion: New sorts of wastes can be utilized, resulting in a new level of fuel-cost savings and reliability。
