Customized Shutterstock content trained with NVIDIA Picasso generative AI cloud service to use text prompts to rapidly generate 3D content for industrial digital twins, entertainment and gaming NEW YORK, March 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Shutterstock, Inc. (NYSE: SSTK), a leading global creative platform for transformative brands and media companies, today announced it is partnering with NVIDIA to train custom 3D models to create generative 3D assets from simple text prompts. Through a first of its kind collaboration, 3D models will be trained with Shutterstock assets using NVIDIA Picasso generative AI cloud services to convert text into high-fidelity 3D content, reducing creation time from hours to minutes. When the models are introduced in the coming months on Shutterstock.com, the new NVIDIA-powered generative AI capabilities will be the latest addition to Creative Flow, an extensive toolkit designed to power the most seamless creative experience possible. The text-to-3D features will also be offered on Turbosquid.com and is planned to be introduced on the NVIDIA Omniverse™ platform for building and operating 3D industrial metaverse applications. "Our generative 3D partnership with NVIDIA will power the next generation of 3D contributor tools, greatly reducing the time it takes to create beautifully textured and structured 3D models," said Shutterstock CEO Paul Hennessy. "This first of its kind partnership furthers our strategy of leveraging Shutterstock's massive pool of metadata to bring new products, tools, and content to market. By combining our 3D content with NVIDIA's foundation models, and utilizing our respective marketing and distribution platforms, we can capitalize on an extraordinarily large market opportunity." With today's professional software tools, building a high quality, detailed 3D model from scratch is often a challenging and time-consuming task for creators. In the case of a content being created for use as a digital twin, where absolute precision is required, the complexity of the job can take days or even longer depending on the specifics of the model. By creating custom models with the NVIDIA Picasso generative AI cloud service, Shutterstock will help 3D artists create object shapes, assist with object unwrapping, generate textures and materials and, for non-3D users, will even produce complete 3D models ready for use in a wide variety of applications and platforms. "The transformative capabilities of generative AI make it possible for software makers and enterprises to build tools that use simple text prompts to create 3D assets for digital twins, simulation and design, saving artists enormous amounts of time and effort," said NVIDIA Vice President of Developer Programs Greg Estes. "Training a custom Shutterstock model with the NVIDIA Picasso generative AI cloud services will give developers a tool that can automate much of the tedious work for artists, freeing them to spend more time exploring new concepts and refining their ideas." As part of its responsible AI focus and in correlation with sales of the customized 3D models on Shutterstock's platform, Shutterstock will compensate artists through its Contributor Fund for the role their IP plays in training the generative technology.

Deployed at MD7's headquarters in Allen, TX, XCharge North America's charging solution was selected due to its smart bi-directional energy storage system and easy installation ALLEN, Texas, March 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- XCharge North America will install their Net Zero Series (NZS) EV Charging station, which includes an energy storage system (ESS) and a DC Fast charging (DCFC) port option, in Allen, Texas; which marks the first deployment of a DCFC in North Texas. The station will be installed at MD7's corporate headquarters, located within their parking garage, and allow for two vehicles to be charged at a time. Significantly, XCharge North America's NZS is equipped with a liquid-cooled Lithium-Ion battery as buffer storage allowing for easy installation and highly stable operations. The station will be available for use in April. XCharge's Net Zero Series battery-based charging station provides a 194kW maximum output with two charging ports.That is nearly 20X more output than the majority of L2 chargers, significantly reducing charging idle time to 35-45 minutes. Notably, the charger has integration capabilities with energy storage systems and liquid-cooled Lithium battery pack to enable optimized energy supply and demand for EVs and grid. The integrated bi-directional energy storage allows the NZS to store up to 233kWh of electricity, while reducing the needed infrastructure to support this power transfer. Furthermore, the storage can be used to not only charge vehicles, but also act as emergency power for surrounding buildings and additional support to the grid in times of need or during blackouts. The bi-directional ACDC modules allow vehicles and the storage unit to sell back energy to the grid, which enables peak shaving capabilities and more flexibility in operation. Additionally, XCharge North America offers NZS plus, which combines 2 units of storage to make it 466kWh, doubling the number of charging sessions from energy storage. NZS offers energy storage system, which allows operators to optimize their strategies and prioritize what matters to them the most "It is great to see MD7 invest in this new Smart DC Electric Vehicle Charger infrastructure at their headquarters located here in Allen", said Allen Mayor Ken Fulk. "This represents a commitment to sustainability, which further contributes to national goals for electrification and decarbonization. They are setting a great example for others to follow as we move toward a more electric vehicle world." "The Net Zero Series is made with the US grid in mind," explains Aatish Patel, President and co-founder of XCharge North America. "With its high capacity internal storage, low input requirements, and ability to distribute energy in multiple forms, the NZS is what grids need to ensure sustainable and fortified energy in the future. Significantly, these chargers allow operators to maximize voltage output – up to 194kW – based on the desired use case, due to its modular design. XCharge North America is excited to strengthen its presence and partnership in Allen, Texas, understanding that access to efficient EV charging solutions is a key component to a growing sustainable city." This installation brings an EV charging station to Allen, whose population exceeds 109,0000 and had no previous EV charging station availability. This is much needed for a growing environmentally friendly city. Remarkably, there are no existing DC Fast chargers for use in the Dallas metro area, only Level 2. This charger upgrade will provide drivers with approximately 100+ miles of range per 30 minutes of charging versus Level 2 abilities to provide approximately 25 miles of range per 1-hour of charging. Furthermore, the company has been accepted as a member of the Open Charge Alliance's (OCA) Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP); an institution that supports the global development, adoption, and compliance of communication protocols in the EV charging infrastructure. It allows XCharge North America to contribute to Open Charging Point Protocol (OCPP) and Open Smart Charging Point (OSCP) ideas and establish best practices globally. Joining the OCPP coalition and becoming UL compliant were vital business steps, as it demonstrates the company's determination to contribute, and abide by, open standards on a global scale.

SHENZHEN, China, March 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Themed 'Forests and Health', this year's International Day of Forests on March 21 is a call for humanity to consider its relationship with the Earth's forests and the direct impact they have on our longevity and well-being. Many people are familiar with the metaphor that forests are the lungs of the planet, breathing out clean air and serving as vital carbon sinks that mitigate the effects of climate change. Fewer, however, are aware of the intrinsic links that forests have with our day-to-day health. Did you know? As well as the planet's lungs, forests are also nature's pharmacy and larder. They provide us with around 25% of western medicines, with upwards of 50,000 plants contributing to modern drugs. And a study of 27 African countries shows that children exposed to forests had 25% greater diet diversity thanks to an abundance of fruit, vegetables, bush meat, fish, and edible oils. But the prognosis for forests is alarming. Around 35% of the world's forest cover has been lost, with 82% of the remainder degraded. The rapidity and extent of these threats require long-term, committed intervention. A story of protection One way technology is protecting forest ecosystems is by preventing illegal logging, which accounts for up to 90% of all logging activities and is a major contributor to global deforestation. In Similajau National Park in Malaysia's Sarawak state, we are working with the Sarawak Forest Department and Sarawak Forestry Corporation to enable the Sarawak government to protect its rainforests. The park is not just rich in biodiversity, it is also a sustainable source of medicine and food for local people, many of whom depend on the forest for their livelihoods. However, illegal logging remains a prominent threat, causing widespread degradation of the rainforest ecosystem and biodiversity loss. Now, though, there is hope. 'Guardian' acoustic monitoring devices can detect the sound of trucks and chainsaws used for illegal logging. Each Guardian can cover an area of 7 km and send networked real-time alerts via a cloud platform to rangers' phones, enabling real-time intervention. Audio and visual monitoring technology and AI analytics can also help monitor endangered species through their vocalizations. By tracking their populations and distribution, conservationists can develop precise conservation measures. Of particular interest are umbrella species, the well-being of which is pivotal to the health of the forest ecosystems they inhabit. Examples of biodiversity monitoring projects that target umbrella species include Darwin's foxes in Chile and jaguars in Mexico's Dzilam State Reserve. Technology can also trigger smart conservation action in forested areas. In Switzerland, a pilot Tech4Nature project in partnership with IUCN and Porini Foundation uses blockchain to develop a system to trace carbon sequestration to boost the transparency and traceability of forest carbon sink transactions, with a view to using these credits to fund other biodiversity conservation projects. The above are examples of forest ecosystem protection projects under Huawei's TECH4ALL initiative. Together with global partners, technological solutions have been developed comprising audio and visual monitoring devices, communication networks, cloud, and AI analytics. These can achieve conservation outcomes that would have been impossible even a decade ago. With scientific evidence strongly correlating forest health and human health, it is imperative that we keep our forests healthy. Our experience so far shows that this approach is working. And that knowledge drives us to keep striving with our partners to help build a healthy, sustainable future for both us and our forests.
