Unfortunately for some shareholders, the recent pain is dragging on, with Anhui Huaheng Biological Technology Co., Ltd.’s (SHSE:688639) share price falling 26% in the last 30 days, and shareholders who have held onto the stock over the last 12 months have not been rewarded, with the share price now down 33%. Even after such a large drop in its share price, Anhui Huaheng Biotechnology, with a P/E ratio of 21.8, can still be considered an attractive investment, given that roughly half of Chinese companies have a price-to-earnings (or “P/E”) ratio above 29. However, there may be a reason for the…

Blockchain technology promises a future of seamless digital transactions, but the current reality is fraught with complexity and interoperability issues. To shed light on these challenges, roundtable moderator Rob Nelson had an inspiring conversation with Simon Baksys, VP of Business Development at LayerZero Labs.Nelson began the discussion by comparing everyday digital transactions to blockchain interactions.

Article by Deb Radcliff, DevSecOps analyst and editor of CodeSecure’s TalkSecure educational content (distributed on Security Boulevard and YouTube) At last month’s RSA Security Conference (RSAC), a number of vendors and speakers spoke about Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), which we covered in our follow-up article from RSAC. An interview with SBOM experts Dick Brooks and Joseph Silvia reveals why SBOM has become a trend at RSAC, which is typically a security conference and not a software product development show. Brooks and Silvia explain how SBOM data can help with security operations beyond DevSecOps and product selection, specifically security operations,…

Dynamic Occlusion on Quest 3 is currently only supported by a handful of apps, but it offers improved quality, uses less CPU and GPU, and is a bit easier for developers to implement.Occlusion, the ability to make virtual objects appear behind real objects, is an important feature for mixed reality headsets. Doing this only on pre-scanned scenery is called static occlusion, but if the system supports scenery changes and object movement it is called dynamic occlusion.A basic explanation of the general concept of occlusion with Meta.Quest 3 was released with support for static occlusion but not dynamic occlusion. A few…

Used for scenario-based simulations, the VR program helps strengthen nurses’ clinical decision-making abilities, build skills and confidence, and smooth or even accelerate orientation times.”Simulation is the safest and most effective way to strengthen the skills nurses need to provide quality care, but resource and logistical constraints can limit the use of in-person simulation,” said John Leopold, Simulation Network Director at Nuvance Health. “Simulation in VR…

Vayu Robotics has announced the launch of what it claims to be the world’s first curbside delivery robot powered by an advanced artificial intelligence (AI)-based model. The robot is intended to reduce e-commerce delivery costs and will be deployed by a major U.S. e-commerce company (name withheld). Vayu Robotics’ robots stand apart from traditional mobile robotic systems that often rely on expensive LiDAR sensors and software modules designed to perform a single task. Instead, the delivery robot integrates a transformer-based mobility infrastructure model and cost-effective passive sensors to enable autonomous navigation in a variety of environments, including stores, city streets,…

Miss Jin/Getty Images Since its founding in 1998, Google has been at the forefront of technological innovation. From its humble beginnings as a search engine, it has since grown into everything from navigation tools to web browsers with the very unique Google Chrome, to an office suite and mobile phones. Of course, along the way, some of Google’s products have been forgotten and have a long list of failures. One of the most interesting is Google Cardboard, a virtual reality platform that was launched in 2014 but discontinued in 2021. Google Cardboard is a fairly simple product designed to make…
