ADVANCED ENERGY CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING OF TOKYO, JAPAN, SERVICE CENTER
Dedicated Service and Repair Facility Improves and Simplifies the Service Experience, Providing Regional Access to Industry-Leading Service Solutions that Lower Cost of Ownership
TACHIKAWA, Japan, June 29 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:AEIS), a global leader in precision power conversion, today announced the grand opening of a service center in Tachikawa, Japan. The new facility, dedicated to service and repair operations, expands the company’s global footprint to support semiconductor manufacturing customers in Japan. The service center allows for Advanced Energy® (AE®) to engage more directly with customers and respond to growing customer demand for long-term, high-quality service in the region.
“Our customer relationships are built on trust, and we always take a highly responsive customer approach,” said Yuval Wasserman, Advanced Energy president and CEO. “The opening of the Tachikawa service center has resulted from listening, then improving and simplifying the service experience with a service and repair center devoted to our semiconductor customers in Japan.”
Mike McDonald, Advanced Energy vice president of global services, added, “We are excited to bring our service capabilities closer to our customers in Japan. We have a broad portfolio of service offerings that will be more effectively delivered from our new repair center in Tachikawa. Our industry-leading solutions are quantifiably superior to third-party services, lowering cost of ownership in semiconductor and related thin-film manufacturing processes. We’ve made significant investments in fixed assets and infrastructure and are looking forward to putting these to good use by providing the highest quality and most responsive lifecycle management products and services available.”
Advanced Energy will host a private ceremony to formally mark the grand opening of the Tachikawa service center on June 30. Leaders from key accounts, along with members of AE’s management team, will speak at the dedication ceremony. Distinguished guests, including local representatives and several high-ranking officials in the semiconductor industry, will receive a guided tour of the facility and enjoy a private reception.
“We are very pleased that Advanced Energy’s in-country service center is here to support us,” said one executive from a large semiconductor equipment maker. “The presence of a local Advanced Energy repair facility will reduce tool downtime by providing quicker repair turnaround. This will also enable our organization to return AE product repairs to AE rather than to less reliable third-party repair companies.”
The Tachikawa service center follows the opening of a service center earlier this year in Xi’an, China. The new facilities provide customers in Asia the high-quality lifecycle services they need, accelerate repair cycles and streamline the service experience. This latest addition is one of 14 service centers around the world and one of two local facilities in Japan—in Ichigaya and now Tachikawa. Many customers rely on AE to stock spares, provide extended warranties and expedite repairs to keep production moving.

SUNDANCE ENERGY AUSTRALIA LIMITED PROVIDES OPERATIONS UPDATE
DENVER, June 29 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sundance Energy Australia Limited (ASX:SEA) (NASDAQ:SNDE) (“Sundance” or the “Company”), a U.S. onshore oil and gas exploration and production company focused in the Eagle Ford in South Texas, reported initial production rates on its four operated Eagle Ford wells that have begun production in the second quarter.
| Well Name | County | SEA Working Interest | SEA Net Revenue Interest | Completed Lateral Length | % Oil | Peak 24- Hour (boe/d) | 30-Day (boe/d) | 60-Day (boe/d) | ||||
| Peeler EFS 11HD | Atascosa | 100 | % | 75 | % | 9050' | 92 | % | 1,059 | 764 | 760 | |

| *85% until payout and then 80% | ||||||||||||
Grace Ford, COO, commented “we are very pleased with early results from our 2017 development program. Our generation 5 completion design which focuses on perforation proficiency is generating higher initial production rates which we believe will translate to higher ultimate recoveries and better economics. In addition to higher production rates, the two new Dimmit wells we brought online saw first oil approximately 30 days earlier than previous wells. While we have seen some delays caused by tightening in the onshore US service market, so far we have been able to offset these minor delays with improved well results.”
The Company recently acquired approximately 3,200 net acres in its core McMullen area for $5.8 million adding approximately 21 gross (19 net) lower-lower Eagle Ford (“LLEF”) locations and 17 gross (16 net) upper-lower Eagle Ford (“ULEF”) locations. The new additions bring the Company’s McMullen area LLEF inventory to 128 gross (107 net) remaining locations and its ULEF inventory to 149 gross (126 net) remaining locations. Approximately 17 of these new locations are considered to be proved reserves adding approximately 6.5 mmboe to our proved reserve base. To fund the lease acquisitions we have deferred drilling one well.
Eric McCrady, CEO, commented “we are very excited to build our McMullen area drilling inventory with these lease additions in our core project area which are contiguous with our existing acreage position. At an average price of ~$1,900 per acre we have replaced the locations we are drilling as part of our 2017 development program and extended our inventory. We anticipate the proved component of these leases will add over $40 million to our proved PV10 based on 1 June 2017 NYMEX strip oil prices.”

POLYPLASTICS' SUPER-HIGH FLOW PBT "DURANEX (R) SF SERIES" ACCELERATES DOWNSIZING MOLDING DESIGN
| TOKYO, June 27 (Bernama-AsiaNet) -- Polyplastics Co., Ltd.'s DURANEX (R) SF Series of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) meets increasing needs of customers regarding the downsizing of components in fields such as automotive, consumer electronics and industrial electrical devices. With double the flowability of standard PBT, the DURANEX SF Series can fill super-thin wall sections of molded parts, critical in designing light-weight application products. The high flowability of the DURANEX SF Series contributes to downsizing product design, optimizing processing and reducing energy costs in injection molding. (Image: http://prw.kyodonews.jp/prwfile/release/M100475/201706223007/_prw_PI1fl_Oi82345s.jpg) Given its excellent balance of mechanical and electrical properties, in addition to high moldability and durability, PBT is used in a variety of applications with various additives. However, the smaller and thinner the application designs become, the more flowability of resin will be required. Super-high flow resin, such as LCP, which costs more and requires higher temperature in molding than PBT, has conventionally been used. The DURANEX SF Series meets these requirements while providing the versatility of PBT, including better electrical properties and design flexibility. Polyplastics offers selections of the DURANEX SF Series with low warpage and high filler characteristics: - SF3300: Standard GF-reinforced type - SF733LD: Low warpage type - SF755: High filler type For more information, visit https://www.polyplastics.com/en/product/lines/pbt_sf/index.vm DURANEX (R) is a registered trademark of Polyplastics Co., Ltd. in Japan and other countries and is used by WinTech Polymer Ltd. under license.

TOSHIBA MEMORY CORPORATION DEVELOPS WORLD'S FIRST QLC 3D FLASH MEMORY
Achieves World’s Largest Capacity of 1.5TB in a Single Package with BiCS FLASH™ chip
TOKYO, June 28 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Memory Corporation, the world leader in memory solutions, today announced development of the world’s first[1] BiCS FLASH™ three-dimensional (3D) flash memory[2] with a stacked cell structure. The newest BiCS FLASH™ device is the first to deliver 4-bit-per-cell (quadruple-level cell, QLC) technology, advancing capacity beyond that of triple-level cell (TLC) devices and pushing the boundaries of flash memory technology.
Multi-bit cell flash memories store data by managing the number of electrons in each individual memory cell. Achieving QLC technology posed a series of technical challenges, as increasing the number of bit-per-cell by one within same electron count requires twice the accuracy of TLC technology. Toshiba Memory has drawn on its advanced circuit design capabilities and industry-leading 64-layer 3D flash memory process technology to create the QLC 3D flash memory.
The prototype features the world’s largest die capacity[3] (768 gigabits/96 gigabytes) with 64-layer 3D flash memory process. Shipment of prototypes to SSD and SSD controller vendors for evaluation and development purposes started in early June.
The QLC 3D flash memory also enables a 1.5-terabyte (TB) device with a 16-die stacked architecture in a single package - the industry’s largest capacity[4]. Samples of this groundbreaking device will be showcased at the 2017 Flash Memory Summit in Santa Clara, California, United States, from August 7-10.
Toshiba Memory already mass produces 64-layer 256-gigabit (32-gigabytes) devices, and as it expands mass production it will continue to demonstrate industry leadership by advancing technology development. Focused on meeting growing demand for high density, smaller chip size flash memory solutions, the new QLC device targets such applications as enterprise SSD, consumer SSD and memory cards.

ROBOTS TO ENHANCE, NOT REPLACE HUMANS IN MOST JOBS: ARM SURVEY
CAMBRIDGE, England, June 28 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Consumers who believe AI will lead to rampaging, job-taking robot chaos are in the minority according to an ARM-commissioned independent global survey of nearly 4000 consumers. When considering a future where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly part of their lives, 30 percent of consumers identified "fewer or different jobs for humans" as the biggest drawback. However, respondents remained positive that robots would enhance rather than replace humans in most jobs, and assist by increasingly performing more tedious and dangerous jobs.

POLYPLASTICS' SUPER-HIGH FLOW PBT "DURANEX (R) SF SERIES" ACCELERATES DOWNSIZING MOLDING DESIGN
TOKYO, June 28 (Bernama-AsiaNet) --
Polyplastics Co., Ltd.'s DURANEX (R) SF Series of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) meets increasing needs of customers regarding the downsizing of components in fields such as automotive, consumer electronics and industrial electrical devices. With double the flowability of standard PBT, the DURANEX SF Series can fill super-thin wall sections of molded parts, critical in designing light-weight application products. The high flowability of the DURANEX SF Series contributes to downsizing product design, optimizing processing and reducing energy costs in injection molding. (Image: http://prw.kyodonews.jp/prwfile/release/M100475/201706223007/_prw_PI1fl_Oi82345s.jpg) Given its excellent balance of mechanical and electrical properties, in addition to high moldability and durability, PBT is used in a variety of applications with various additives. However, the smaller and thinner the application designs become, the more flowability of resin will be required. Super-high flow resin, such as LCP, which costs more and requires higher temperature in molding than PBT, has conventionally been used. The DURANEX SF Series meets these requirements while providing the versatility of PBT, including better electrical properties and design flexibility. Polyplastics offers selections of the DURANEX SF Series with low warpage and high filler characteristics: - SF3300: Standard GF-reinforced type - SF733LD: Low warpage type - SF755: High filler type For more information, visit https://www.polyplastics.com/en/product/lines/pbt_sf/index.vm DURANEX (R) is a registered trademark of Polyplastics Co., Ltd. in Japan and other countries and is used by WinTech Polymer Ltd. under license.

BIONEXT LAUNCHES BIOSIGHT: AN ONLINE PLATFORM THAT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE PHARMACEUTICAL RESEARCH
Helps companies accelerate the development of new medications by reducing the failure rate during the clinical phase
STRASBOURG, France, June 22 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Bionext, a bioinformatics company, announces today the launch of BioSight, an online bio-simulation platform designed for efficient identification of possible side effects of potential drug treatments on the human body. As result of fifteen years of molecular biology R&D, BioSight uses a patented algorithm that is able to predict all of the potential biological targets that are at risk of interacting with a potential drug treatment. Available as Software as a Service (SaaS) or on-site, BioSight, at an affordable price and within a few hours, enables pharmaceutical and biomedical research professionals to better develop their molecules, reduce the failure rate during the clinical trial phase and, therefore, optimize their return on investment.
3.975 billion dollars per drug
That is the average total cost of R&D needed for pharmaceutical companies to launch a new drug on the world market.1 According to LEEM, out of 10,000 target molecules, 10 will become part of patents filed and only one of those will become part of a new drug being sold. The failure rate of drug candidates is particularly high and drug research is primarily abandoned late in the R&D process and advanced stages of clinical research when side effects are most likely to become apparent. These failures typically cost upwards of hundreds of millions of dollars.
It is also estimated that around 85% of these failures occur due to biological reasons linked to problems of effectiveness or toxicity caused by interactions between the drug and targets different than the one the drug is being developed for.
Digital technologies for accelerating therapeutic innovations
With its BioSight platform, Bionext’s ambition is to completely change the current process of developing and making medications- all thanks to digital technology. Goal: lower the entry cost to the therapeutic innovation market by offering thousands of small companies, laboratories and researchers with access to technologies that were previously out of their reach.
In order to accelerate the development of BioSight and to strengthen its position in the bioinformatics market, Bionext hopes to raise more than 5 million Euros in funding over the next 18 months.

Twelve firms are represented among this year’s leaders, including two that didn't appear last year: BOCI Research and China International Capital Corp.

NASR LAUNCHES EMERGENCY NUMBER FOR IMMEDIATE SEARCH AND RESCUE ASSISTANCE
JAKARTA, Indonesia, June 20 (Bernama) --
| The Indonesian National Agency of Search and Relief (NASR, formerly BASARNAS) announced today that its emergency number, 115, is already operational for immediate search and rescue assistance in 24/7. This emergency assistance is open both for the Indonesian citizens and foreigners in Indonesia. "This is one of our efforts to help the society access the search and rescue aid round the clock and throughout Indonesia," said Chief of NASR, Marshal Muhammad Syaugi, S.Sos, MM. Indonesia is undeniably the largest archipelagic country in the world, consisting approximately 17.000 islands. Stretched from Sabang to Merauke, the country is hugely wealth in natural resources. No wonder that so many literature works describe Indonesia as Emerald of the Equator, referring to its rich, lush and colorful tropical rainforest - just like emeralds - and its strategic position right along the equator. As one of the most emerging country in Asia, Indonesia widely opens its doors for the international partnerships and visits. Tens of millions international tourist come to this country every year. As a matter of fact, President of Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo sets an ambitious target of 15 millions international tourists for 2017, or an increase of 25 percents. In 2016, Indonesia's tourism sector successfully contributed 11 percents of the country's GDP only from the tourists spending or as much as Rp. 172 trillion. Given the tourism sector is one of the most contributing sectors for Indonesia's economy, the government of Indonesia always strive to ensure the safety and security both for the citizens and the foreigners. Fully responsible to the safety and security of the citizens from the harm of natural disasters, the Government of Republic of Indonesia deploys and relies on NASR. The Agency plays a critical role during times of disaster. With a vision of conducting successful SAR operations efficiently, credibly, and safely, anytime and anywhere. NASR is always committed to being forefront in the ongoing, devastating state of the natural disasters to save lives and prevent losing more. http://mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=29393 |
