American Power Systems unveils Toyota Land Cruiser 300 dual alternator bracket kit at Eurosatory 2024

Published

on

PARIS, June 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — US-based power solutions manufacturer American Power Systems, Inc. (APS) has developed a dual alternator bracket kit for Toyota Land Cruiser 300 vehicles with a 3.5L twin turbo petrol (gas) engine. APS debuted the latest product in its LC300 series at Eurosatory 2024, a global defense and security trade show held June 17-21 in Paris.

The new dual alternator bracket kit allows users to add additional power to the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 with minimal changes to the OE under-the-hood configuration. Specifically, end users can add APS’ 12-, 24-, or 48-volt high output alternators for 12-12, 12-24, or 12-48 secondary system configurations.

Launched by Toyota Motor Corporation in August 2021, the all-terrain Land Cruiser 300 Series is a complete redesign of the outgoing 200 Series. The Toyota Land Cruiser platform has a reputation for reliability, durability, and off-road performance, making it a popular transportation choice in rugged environments.

More power to stay safe & connected in the field

“As security or defense vehicles, various Toyota platforms are often fitted with armor and/or special equipment such as anti-IED jammers, communication systems, satellite equipment, cooling systems and more that allows end-users to stay connected, collect information and even perform silent watch activities,” explained APS President & CEO Amy Lank. “However, all this equipment adds to the vehicle’s weight and creates current draw that OEM systems cannot meet. Having this additional power available via a dual alternator set-up makes the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 vehicles mission-ready while helping end-users to stay safe in the field.”

In addition to the new dual alternator bracket kit, previously APS launched its Toyota Land Cruiser 300 product line with 255- and 360-amp HPI alternators for both 3.3L diesel and 3.5L gas (petrol) engines. APS also offers high-idle kits for the 3.3L diesel and 3.5L gas engines.

About American Power Systems, Inc.

Since 2006, APS has been designing and manufacturing advanced mobile power systems, alternators, converters, regulators and power generators for armored, security, commercial, marine and purpose-built specialty vehicles like RVs and luxury motor coaches. The Davenport, Iowa-based company specializes in the innovation and custom crafting of power conversion and distribution systems by staff with nearly 300 combined years of experience in the various fields of expertise it handles.

JelloX Aims to Improve Patient-Centered Care with AI-powered 3D Digital Pathology

Published

on

By

First shared at a recent Japanese Society of Digital Pathology meeting, the company is forging a global alliance with a leading US medical institution and other organizations to harness technology for better patient care and outcomes in oncology.

TAIPEI, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — JelloX Biotech Inc., a Taiwan-based startup focused on cancer pathology, is unveiling its vision for AI and 3D digital pathology to advance patient-centered care. The vision was first detailed publicly by Dr. Yen-Yin Lin, CEO of JelloX, during the August 2024 Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Digital Pathology. JelloX continues to distinguish itself as an early adopter of AI and 3D imaging applied to cancer pathology.

“Technological advancements and the recent surge in AI have reshaped the future of healthcare, enabling the extraction of valuable insights that will have real benefits for patients,” shared Dr. Lin. “3D pathology can offer at least 50 times more information than conventional 2D methods, providing pathologists with a more comprehensive understanding of a tumor’s biology. The power of such a diagnostic tool lies in its ability to help pathologists stratify and personalize, matching the right patients with the right treatment at the right time. This ultimately leads to better prognosis, quality of life, and more patient-centered care.”

Improving patient-centered care with technology

JelloX has previously estimated that 40% of cancer patients can benefit from AI-analyzed 3D imaging for pathology by expanding feasibility of treatment options like immunotherapy. Due to the complexity of cancer and variability between cases, these technologies hold significant promise for oncology, particularly in addressing the challenge of limited information from conventional methods. With the increased sampling rate via 3D imaging analyzed by AI, pathologists have more actionable insights regarding the tumor, assisting them in making a wholistic diagnosis.

Patients who were previously excluded from immunotherapy due to undetected biomarker expressions, resulting from the limitations of current techniques, may now have a renewed opportunity. With its improved sensitivity, 3D pathology can not only identify cases previously classified as “false negatives” but also enable early cancer detection. This allows for earlier treatment initiation, leading to an improved quality of life for patients.

For healthcare providers, this means matching the right patients to the right drugs at the right time. For patients, more precision for diagnosis, treatment, and timing means lowered risk of misdiagnosis, minimized patient costs, and better prognosis—ultimately to more patient-centered care and better quality of life.

A visionary new platform

Dr. Lin continued: “The fight against cancer is not a one-on-one battle, so partnerships are crucial to accomplish this. JelloX has embraced collaboration across countries and industries to build an AI-powered 3D pathology platform together.”

In collaboration with a leading US medical center and other partners, JelloX is developing a platform that can address multiple pain points for patients and the healthcare industry. The platform will leverage JelloX’s software, MetaLite®, which recently received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration.

In addition to the benefits for patients, an AI-powered 3D pathology platform that continuously grows could greatly accelerate biomarker research and benefit the healthcare industry. Over time, the platform could continue to grow more precise at cancer diagnosis as it learns from sample biomarkers paired with anonymized patient outcome data. Also, as the platform finds novel biomarkers, it could facilitate development of new technologies and their commercialization.

About JelloX Biotech Inc.

Based in Hsinchu, Taiwan, JelloX Biotech Inc. is a startup which focus on advancing cancer pathology through 3D digital imaging and AI technology.

Liquid Wind partners with Turun Seudun Energiantuotanto Oy for the establishment of an eFuel facility in Finland

Published

on

By

Liquid Wind and Turun Seudun Energiantuotanto Oy (TSE) announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the development of an eFuel facility in Naantali, Finland.

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The MoU indicates the launch of a close cooperation and is one of Finland’s most significant green hydrogen projects supporting the clean energy transition and domestic competitiveness by utilizing existing and large infrastructure. The eFuel facility is planned to be adjacent to TSE’s local power plant Naantali 4 which will deliver biogenic CO2 and steam for the production of eMethanol. In addition, the process and waste heat of Liquid Wind’s facility will be used for district heat, reducing the share of incineration-based district heat production by TSE.

Once operational, the eFuel facility will produce 100,000 tons/a eMethanol made from green hydrogen and biogenic CO2 (160,000 tons/a). Final investment decision (FID) is planned for 2026, and the facility will be operational in 2029. eMethanol is a very versatile commodity that can replace fossil fuels in hard-to-abate sectors such as shipping and aviation while reducing CO2 emissions.

Liquid Wind acts as the main project developer and has started the environmental impact assessment and permitting process. In addition, the parties will jointly explore the possibilities of ensuring a sufficient supply of renewable electricity to produce eMethanol.

Claes Fredriksson, CEO and Founder of Liquid Wind, says:

“We are very happy to announce the development of our eFuel collaboration project with TSE. By entering this MoU, we are combining our companies’ strengths to promote and accelerate the clean energy transition both locally and globally. Locally, in the city of Naantali, we will focus on Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) and the reuse of CO2 and waste heat. Globally, we aim to support the transition by allowing our off-takers to shift from fossil fuels to low-carbon eFuel produced at this facility.”

Pertti Sundberg, MD of TSE and Timo Honkanen, CEO of Turku Energia Group* state:

“This is an important project for us to achieve the climate goals of our owners and to secure renewable district heating for the Turku region in the future. We are very pleased that TSE is involved in promoting concrete domestic hydrogen economy projects, supporting the creation of future energy systems. This agreement solidifies our cooperation with Liquid Wind and enables the production of renewable fuel in Naantali.”

Mika Lehtonen, Chairman of the TSE Board and Head of Fortum’s Heating and Cooling business in Finland**, comments:

“We are glad to jointly promote this project that aligns with the circular energy economy and resource efficiency principles. Liquid Wind has large-scale project capabilities and is a valuable partner for TSE. This industrial integration also strengthens the position of the Naantali power plant, enabling it to supply new commodities for methanol production while it continues to produce electricity and heat for customers in the Turku region and TSE’s investments remain moderate.”

Laura Leppänen, Mayor of the City of Naantali***, concludes:

“This large investment project is an important step in the green transition of the former Neste harbor area which the city is committed to. Responsibility plays an important role in the city’s strategy, as does vitality. The Naantali eMethanol production facility fulfills both of our strategic goals.”

*Turku Energia owns 43.5% of TSE.
**Fortum Power and Heat owns 53.5% of TSE.
***Naantali owns 3% of TSE.
