Frost & Sullivan Recognizes Texas Instruments for Aligning its Strong ADAS Product Portfolio with its Vision of Autonomous Driving
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Based on its recent analysis of the semiconductor solutions market for the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) industry, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Texas Instruments (TI) with the 2014 North America Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Leadership. TI’s TDA2x was awarded after detailed analysis of the semiconductor system-on-chips (SoCs) available today for ADAS solutions. The TDA2x is part of TI’s embedded processor product family that targets multiple applications such as front camera, multi-camera park assist and fusion.
Texas Instruments’ foray into silicon development for automotive applications is based on the world’s largest portfolio of purpose-built Intellectual Property (IP) that the company holds. It puts the company at an advantage when it comes to silicon development for ADAS-based applications. TI approaches all of its customers with its full product solution, ensuring that the customer is aware of the complete range that can be enabled with its applications. Through this product line, TI strives to give customers greater flexibility over their ADAS systems by enabling algorithm development and differentiation.
“Acknowledging the rising sophistication of ADAS applications, TI has expanded signal processing and vision analytics capabilities in its offerings. This generation of TDA2x processors comes equipped with state-of-the-art Embedded Vision Engine (EVE) processors developed specifically for ADAS and Vision applications,” said Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Arunprasad Nandakumar. “EVEs aid the TDA2x to achieve a four- or five-fold increase in the low- and mid-level processing of the algorithms and a 10- to 12-fold increase in the performance of its previous SoC device generation.”
By developing a broader and scalable ADAS SoC, such as the TDA product family, TI has a product family for the target applications as well as other core ADAS applications such as radar and rear camera. Future product families will continue to address these core applications as well as emerging applications, such as driver monitor and camera monitoring systems (side mirror replacement).
TI offers its ADAS customers a full system solution including analog and digital devices, ensuring that the customer optimizes their system performance and cost. For example, each SoC has a companion power management IC that custom made for the device to provide optimum performance at the lowest power dissipation, thereby increasing the efficiency of the processor.
The R&D teams within TI cater to all classes of end users within the automotive safety industry. For instance, its microcontroller team targets ADAS and other safety-related automotive applications, such as brakes and airbags, all of which are designed to comply with ISO 26262. It also has a more niche R&D team that works on applications that aid autonomous driving through the fusion of multiple sensors. The company’s use of a common architecture in their SoCs for multiple ADAS applications makes it easier to fuse those same applications at a board level, and eventually on a single chip.

Mines of the Future to Rely Heavily on Automation, Digitization and Green Processes
MOUNTAIN VIEW, California /PRNewswire/ — Mining companies are striving to develop mines that rest on next-generation technologies, novel strategies and processes to ensure a safer, greener and more profitable mining industry. By transposing the digital world with the physical world, new dimensions are being created within the mining industry that help optimize production based on market demand, production capacity, and ore quality variations.
Technological innovations will resolve productivity constraints while green mining will reduce environmental footprints.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Industry Scorecard for the Global Mining Industry, finds that the mining industry continues to contribute to the economy of several countries as they transition into a metal- and mineral-intensive stage of operations brought on by the rapid pace of industrialization and urbanization.
For complimentary access to more information to this research, please visit: http://bit.ly/1lUSdfE.
“While China holds and produces the bulk of the world’s rare earths, several mining projects have been initiated internationally to increase supplies and reduce reliance on China,” said Frost & Sullivan Industrial Automation & Process Control Senior Research Analyst Sonia Francisco. “South Africa, the United States and Australia are reopening their rare earth mines. Some regions are also commencing exploration and production activities to expand their reserve of rare earth minerals.”
Despite these efforts, the mining industry has not quite reached its full potential due to several challenges. Mature mining countries such as Australia and Canada grapple with a shrinking workforce, tight regulations, and the rising costs of energy, reagents, mining equipment and construction. Emerging mining countries, on the other hand, struggle with resource nationalism and inadequate infrastructure. Insufficient knowledge of geological characteristics, ineffective environmental and government policies, and declining ore grades also inhibit development in emerging mining markets.
Falling ore grades will create a more intensive mining industry with increased focus on water management and energy. Automation and technology innovation are being employed to resolve productivity constraints while green mining techniques like biomining are being implemented to reduce overall mining footprints.
“As the quest for new resources continues, upcoming segments like offshore mines will require extensive technology advancements to ensure that deposits are extracted from the sea floor without harming the marine ecosystem,” stated Francisco. “The next frontier in the mining industry will include automation and digitalized mines that can effectively operate in deeper, harsher and more complex mining environments.”

ART TAIPEI 2014 — A Grand Event, an Intimate Encounter with Art
TAIPEI, Oct. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — ART TAIPEI celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. After one year of rumination and reflection, it will inaugurate a new chapter in a more steady and placid manner. ART TAIPEI is the most important art fair in Asia. This year, the grand event will be held from the 31st of October to the 3rd of November at Exhibition Hall 1 of the Taipei World Trade Center, featuring 145 galleries, about half of which are from overseas. The 78 foreign galleries are from 15 countries/regions, including Japan, Hong Kong, mainlandChina, Philippines, Singapore, Israel, Germany, U.K. and U.S. New comers to the fair contain many foreign exhibitors, including Ota Fine Arts from Japan with Yayoi Kusama as the main artist, 313 Art Project which emerged rapidly in Korea in 2010, Beijing Art Now Gallery that represents several major Chinese contemporary artists andYavuz Gallery, a famous gallery from Singapore specializing in contemporary art, etc. In this fair, classics that draw great attention include abstract paintings by Zao Wou-ki, renowned Chinese artist who lived in France, and Strip 926 by Gerhard Richter who has the reputation of pioneer of German contemporary art. In addition, the fair will feature works by masters who greatly influenced modern art history such as Picasso, Dali, Chagall, Sanyu or Ai Wei-wei and Liu Kuo-sung.
Broc et Verre by Pablo PICASSO
Not only will most of the major galleries in Northeast Asia be present, the fair this year further attracts many important exhibitors from Southeast Asia. ART TAIEPI this year will surely bring dazzling features to the public. Rather than emphasizing the global aspect, ART TAIPEI opts for creating an image of cultural conjuncture ofNortheast Asia and Southeast Asia. The fair also involves lots of research and transmission and forges regional professionalism, so that it can grow steadily, enhances its importance and becomes even more irreplaceable. Sections in the fair include ”Art Galleries” which feature the majority of exhibiting galleries, “Classic Art Galleries” that promote works by senior Taiwanese artists, “New Media” that draws on the status of technology island and “Young Art Discovery” which aims at incubating young artists in the country and overseas. Furthermore, young artists from Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines and other Asian regions are invited to take part, making ART TAIPEIan exchange platform for new talents. Within such structure, Made in Taiwan-Young Artist Discovery backed by the Ministry of Culture indeed plays the role of promoter that introduces young Taiwanese artists to the international art stage.
Essence of Contemporary Art：Renowned Artists Recognized by Academics and the Market
ART TAIPEI this year will invite many artists who have taken part in major biennials and whose performances are recognized both in the academic and artistic senses. Finale Art File from the Philippines will show works by Nikki Luna who just participated in Singapore Biennale last year. The artist prefers fabrics filled with female codes or objects associated with family (eggs, milk, diapers, curtain, etc.) as her media to raise awareness toward women’s existence in a patriarchal society. Korean Hakgojae Gallery will show a work from Ma Liu-ming, a rather controversial Chinese action and conceptual artist. His work titled Add One Meter to an Anonymous Mountainconsists of photos of an action art piece he carried out in 1995. The work not only created a great stir in the art world in mainland China at the time, but also made a furor at the Venice Biennale in 1999. As for Park Ryu Sook Gallery, it will show a giant sculpture titled Anthurium by Choi Jeong Hwa who has the reputation of “Father of Pop Art in Korea”. The artist has taken part in Sao Paulo Biennial, Taipei Biennial, Setouchi Triennale as well as many international large-scale art fairs. He excels at combining flowers or things that are easy to find in daily life which he would blow up, thus adding particular delight to the space. Beijing Commune will show Chinese contemporary artistHu Xiao-yuan who took part in the Taipei Biennial this year. In the fair, she will show Wood, the Vortex beneath the Vortex No.2 with its simple form, representing the artist’s reflection of “substance” and “appearance”. Lin & Lin Gallery will exhibit several video installations by Chen Chieh-jen who has the reputation of the “indicator of contemporary art in Taiwan“. Edouard Malingue Gallery will bring works by Callum Innes from Scotland, a master of contemporary painting who has been nominated for the Turner Prize in the U.K. and whose works were shown in major art institutions like Tate Gallery in London, Guggenheim Museum in New York. Innes used to start painting by applying one single color to the entire picture before repeatedly superposing layers of paints unto the canvas, realizing each detail in a meticulous way. The entire process would sometimes take several weeks or months. The uncertainties during the period of waiting greatly enhance the uniqueness of the work. To our great expectation, his Exposed series, one of his most famous pieces rarely shown in Asia, will be shown in the fair.
Uncanny Epoch: Representing the Collective Anxiety in Asia
2014 is an eventful year for Asia. Through various catalysts, a series of social and economic tumults exploded one after another. Art is taken as a means of statement and the artists, by means of their unique points of view, come to interpret and read internal feelings or observations of the external world.
1335 MABINI will bring Philippine artist Kiri Dalena’s Erased Slogan, a series of photos that document scenes of large-scale manifestations on the eve of the announcement of curfew imposed by dictator Ferdinand Marcos in 1972. Through a certain post-production process, the artist obliterates one word after another on the board, as a denouncement against the government which altered history and distorted the truth of collective memory in an imperceptible way. Young artist Maria Taniguchi, also from the Philippines, insinuates thousands of parallel or perpendicular lines covered by shadow into the seemingly blank monochrome painting, thus challenging the geometric and iconic restrictions in the tradition of painting in Philippines. In the work titled Incense Mantra by Taiwanese Tsai Char-wei represented by Tina Keng Gallery, the artist carves the text of Heart Sutra on a piece of sandalwood before burning the wood and documenting the process with photography and video. The work attempts to explore the interdependence of spirit and material. Richard Koh Fine Art from Malaysia will bring Thai artist Natee Utarit’s Optimism is Rediculuous. Utarit has been interested in cultural and social issues; the series of Utarit is his satirical discourse on Asian identity and Asian art. Galerie Paris-Beijing which participates in the fair for the first time will show a photo series titled Hiding in the City by Chinese artist Liu Bo-lin. Michael Ku Gallery fromTaiwan will exhibit works by J. Ariadhitya Pramuhendra, a young Indonesian artist born in 1984. As a Christian grown up in an Islamic country, he often implies the questioning of blind religious faith in his work. In sum, ARTTAIPEI assembles artists from different parts of Asia whose works show distinctive features, which further manifests its cultural diversity and width.

In the 17th century, Italian mathematician Galilei looked into the night through a telescope and saw a world light years away, thus opening up humanity’s boundless fantasy about the vast universe. In an age of enhanced urbanization, high rises everywhere not only block our connection to the natural environment but also weaken our sensational sharpness in the face of the world outside. Art Front Gallery from Japan will show Argentine artistLeandro Erlich’s installation Cloud. The artist’s works have been included in the collections of major institutions and museums worldwide. This time, he is turned into a magician who picks the cloud over the sky and shows it in a transparent glass cover. The seemingly absurd act of collecting cloud is actually one of the ambitions that humans want to realize and have dreamed of for thousands of years. As for ARTCOURT Gallery from Osaka which aims at breaking traditional art frames, it will show internationally renowned master of public art, Kozo Nishino’s Space Memory. As a seer who puts ideas into practice, the artist integrates his work into space. The viewer would find himself/herself under a giant installation, thus re-examining human existence and the dialectic relation with the space.
Another highlight of ART TAIPEI this year is works realized with various mediums that escape from traditional forms of painting. For example, Galerie Urs Meile will show works by German abstract art master Tobias Rehberger; Sundaram Tagore Gallery will show Japanese master Hiroshi Senju who excels at depicting the Zen spirit of waterfalls and young Chinese female artist Zhou Jie’s little bear made of wire; ShanghArt Gallery from Shanghai will show Lu Lei’s installation; Puerta Roja from Hong Kong will show works by Mexican surrealistic installation artistHector Velazquez. Looking to Taiwan, Mind Set Art Center will show Shi Jin-hua’s Pencil Walker, an action art piece realized in meditation and pondering. These works beyond the frame continuously make impact upon and challenge our imagination about art with their brand new forms.
Art, Therapy for Life
In an age of post-industrialization, the nine-to-five working hours day after day dominate our life. Yet what follows the economic profusion is the scant spiritual life. Art not only has the function of statement, it also has the effects of consolation and therapy. For example, Gallery Tsubaki from Japan will show Blue Bear by Mayuka Yamamoto. The protagonist in the picture wears a mask of a big blue bear with a lovely and pleasing expression. Looking at this, one cannot help smiling. As for Eslite Gallery from Taiwan, it will show Dream for Sale by Huang Ben-rei, a rabbit sculpture with human height in a wedding dress. When the 175 cm-tall lovely yet expressionless rabbit shows up, it undoubtedly opens a window that allows us to escape from the pressure of reality. Moreover, there are always moments in life when one feels helpless and needs to be understood. Such is the sentiment expressed through photography artist Yusuke Takeda’s Untitled. The woman in the picture turns her back to the camera, looking afar towards the beams that loom behind layers of cloud. She seems stubborn yet also shows a certain strength. Renowned for abstract portraits, Korean artist Shin Kwang Ho always paints the faces with all sorts of colors and thus distorts them. His works always remind us of a past which one refuses to review and which is spiritually ruined. Yet they also constantly suggest that we should accept our own imperfection with courage. In addition to the aforementioned pieces, several domestic and foreign galleries will bring the timeless and ever powerful works by Yoshimoto Nara to satisfy the fans to the fullest.
Dear Art, Private Letters to Art
An artwork is never viable without artist and connoisseur. “Dear Art” is the spirit proposed by ART TAIPEI this year, showing a kind reminder through the starting words in letters, with the wish that each viewer can confront art directly and freely, followed by an intimate dialogue of exploration. In today’s global artistic landscape, ART TAIPEIcan be the start of a certain comprehension; it can also be the starting point of a long-term relation.
Then, after all, what kind of context of existence can interacting with art be? Through those who are deeply involved in art, like collectors, artists, curators, etc., we can acquire a full comprehension. Revolving around the core issue of “collecting”, ART TAIPEI has organized a series of art lectures to explore and deepen the characteristics of the act of “interacting with art”. Among the invitees are major collectors from Asia, including Budi Tek, Leo Shi, Hallam Chow, Powen Chen among others who will openly talk about how collecting became a kind of art. On the other hand, from the institutional perspective, Chinese curator Pi Li, currently working in the M+ Museum in the West Kowloon Cultural District in Hong Kong, and Kianchow Kwok, the former director of Singapore Art Museum will talk about how the institutions act as the mediator between the governments, the public, and the art circle. Moreover, ART TAIPEI has invited Mami Kataoka, Chief Curator at the Mori Art Museum, to talk about how to rethink on relational aesthetics.

Asia Plantation Capital Sees Growing Interest in Sustainable Plantations from Institutional Investors in London
SINGAPORE /PRNewswire/ — In London this week at Timber Invest Europe, Asia Plantation Capital – a company renowned for its expertise in the sustainable plantation sector – is showcasing its Agarwood plantation expertise.
As part of the Alternative Investment Forum arranged by Arena, this speciality conference for pension, sovereign fund and institutional investors, makes an annual review on both timber and agro investments. It has been widely acknowledged that these sectors have matured as asset classes, and now offer an ever increasing range of opportunities in different species and regions.
Family offices and pension funds have, traditionally, held Northern Hemisphere forestry assets for long-term security, diversity and even local country tax advantages. Today, improved asset security and attractive returns on niche timbers – such as Agarwood, sandalwood and teak – are helping to satisfy the growing demand for both natural and green assets. Institutional investors are increasing their percentage holdings of these assets, in order to meet that demand from clients.
Asia Plantation Capital has developed Agarwood plantations without any accrued debt, and on land where title is owned by them; all as part of their strategic plantation development plan. Their latest annual turnover figure isUS$53.5 million, with US$600 million representing the combined value of plantations owned and assets under management.
Asia Plantation Capital is today, probably the largest and most successful specialist Agarwood plantation operator. Its operations also benefit from diversity in teak, bamboo and wider agroforestry, as well as inter-planted crops in several countries across Southeast Asia. Approaching forestry from a plantation management perspective has allowed Asia Plantation Capital the opportunity to provide consultancy services on its proven expertise, and offer international professional investors both medium and long-term options in sustainable plantation and agricultural projects.
Demand for Agarwood from Asia Plantation Capital is not restricted to external buyers in the Middle East, Chinaand Western Europe. Asia Plantation Capital is one of the few vertically integrated plantation companies processing Agarwood into the rare Oud oil, along with wood chips, beads, incense and a myriad of other products, all derived organically from the trees. The value added chain is continued with a range of bespoke fragrances produced by its sister company Fragrance Du Bois, which has already been nominated for awards in the fragrance industry, and has rapidly evolved an almost cult status as a brand on the international market. Fragrance Du Bois’ motto: “Pure Oud, pure luxury,” perfectly complements its score principle of “luxury with a conscience”.
Agarwood prices have increased consistently since official records began in 1880, and at an average annual rate of 15% per annum since 1999. The growing demand consistently threatens to outstrip the available supply, and market opportunities are now being enhanced further, as commercial users and private buyers increasingly shun illegally logged Agarwood. Conscious choices are now being made to source trees grown on sustainable plantations – such as those owned and operated by Asia Plantation Capital.
Oud has now grown rapidly into a commodity, as well as being regarded as the highest value product among all the forestry species. The global demand for its use in fine fragrances, luxury goods and medicinal products is ever expanding, and it has been used in a number of traditional markets for thousands of years. In Asia and the Middle East for example, it plays a daily role in cultural and religious rites, and has become part of the fabric of society.
Asia Plantation Capital’s drive for added value and premium end products is a specific business strategy for all their sustainable timber and agroforestry crops. Bamboo – one of the world’s most sustainable species – is not only being used in traditional flooring and engineered construction board applications, but also in a variety of other ways. Seeking innovative solutions for higher returns, sustainable bamboo is now featuring in the creation of a new executive and international traveller luggage range, being launched in the last quarter of 2014. This is in addition to the growing use in the manufacture of high quality racing and road bikes (due to its strength, weight and flexibility), all being manufactured by Asia Plantation Capital and its subsidiaries.
By building additional demand for its sustainable timber and agroforestry crops, as well as the products derived therefrom, and by holding land title for the plantation areas used, Asia Plantation Capital offers a robust business option for institutional investors looking to create ‘greener’ client funds, and increase asset value consistently in the years ahead.
Asia Plantation Capital – quick facts:
- US$ 600 million combined value of assets owned and under management
- US$ 53.5 million turnover in the last financial year
- US$ 100 million turnover forecast for current financial year
- 2,000,000 Aquilaria trees on plantations for Agarwood.
Asia Plantation Capital: sustainable investment options for the current age.

Changes in Regulation and Market Structure Have Led 77 Percent of Global Financial Institutions to Alter their Business Models, According to Research from Broadridge and the Economist Intelligence Unit
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR), the leading provider of investor communications, technology-driven solutions and data and analytics, today announced the findings of a global survey of more than 400 executives assessing recent operational changes among financial institutions. The survey, sponsored by Broadridge and conducted by The Economist Intelligence Unit, found a majority of institutions (77 percent) are altering their business models as a result of recent changes in regulation and market structure; this has also elevated the status of chief operating officers (COO) within the C-suite.

According to the jointly-published report, more than two-thirds of respondents cited new regulation and governance requirements (35 percent) or changes in market and industry structure (32 percent) as the primary forces driving business transformation — ahead of globalization (17 percent) and technological advances (13 percent).
“The heightened volume and complexity of regulation and extensive industry restructuring have forced firms to rethink their business models on an unprecedented scale,” said Vijay Mayadas, senior vice president of strategy and M&A at Broadridge. “This trend is set to continue in force through the remainder of the decade. Firms that are more adaptable to creating a proactive response to the changing market needs are more likely to differentiate themselves and outperform.”
Industry Changes Elevate Role of Chief Operating Officer
According to the report, “for the first time in the modern financial services-era… the majority of business leaders are eager to have the chief operating officer (COO) play a leading role in driving business model change.” Among the leading set of companies surveyed, 83 percent of executives view their COOs as “fully engaged” in the company’s strategy and planning process; 85 percent rated them as “very effective” at making improvements that drive business value.
“The majority of business leaders appreciate the transformative power of operations and increasingly look to the COO to play a role in driving business model change,” said Steven Leslie, Financial Services Analyst, Economist Intelligence Unit.
Key findings of the report, titled “Operations power performance: Managing risk and delivering value,” include:
- Executives rate risk management as the most important overall strategy in their organization’s response to global challenges – ahead of product innovation and addressing new customer demands.Risk management was also cited by respondents as one of the most important operational activities in driving business value.
- There is an expectation, especially among C-suite executives, that operational leaders will initiate proposals to advance the organization’s strategic goals. Eighty-five percent of C-suite executives at firms with above-average adaptability say that operational leaders have been very effective in designing or implementing improvements that drive value to their business.
- Firms with strong adaptability performance are more likely to say they will focus on a broad spectrum of operational activities. Specifically, risk management stands out as the operational activity with the highest overall potential to drive business value.
- Building automated processes that integrate risk management, audit trails and compliance processes is the most effective strategy for adapting to more intense regulatory and governance requirements.Further, the vast majority of respondents – 77 percent – adjust to these requirements by launching new business models.
The survey—conducted and analyzed by The Economist Intelligence Unit in partnership with Broadridge to ascertain how operational teams are contributing business value to their companies—garnered responses from 414 executives from around the world engaged in securities-related businesses. Leaders of buy-side operations, sell-side operations and corporate management are nearly equally represented. More than 40 percent of survey respondents hold C-level positions, including 19 percent who are CEOs. Asia-Pacific, North America and Europeeach account for about 30 percent of the survey sample. About 25 percent of the companies represented have$5bn or more in annual global revenue, while 39 percent have less than $1bn in revenue.
