Techpoint Obtained DEKRA ISO 26262 Functional Safety Certificate

Published

on

TAIPEI, July 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — DEKRA, the world’s largest independent non-listed expert organization, issued ISO 26262 ASIL-D Functional Safety Process Certificate to Techpoint, a fabless semiconductor company, specializing in HD TVI analog high-definition image chip design. This achievement shows that Techpoint’s hardware design, manufacturing, and software development processes have met the highest standards and requirements in the automotive chips industry.

Techpoint, headquartered in Silicon Valley, California, is dedicated to developing high-definition image signal transmission and reception ICs, image processing ISPs, LCD controllers, and other image-related semiconductor ASIC design chip solutions. In recent years, due to Techpoint’s active expansion into the smart automotive electronics market, the ISO 26262 Functional Safety Process Certification now covers all of Techpoint’s automotive-grade chip products. It focuses on establishing a functional safety process system for IC chip development, which includes functional safety management, conceptual phase development, system phase safety development, software phase development, hardware phase development, process support, and product release. This will provide clients with more diverse and reliable technical applications in automotive safety solutions, creating higher product value.

Hiro Kozato, CEO of Techpoint, stated, “Our ASIC integrated circuits are used in the safety surveillance cameras, automotive camera systems, and digital video recorders (DVRs) of leading manufacturers worldwide. Additionally, in response to the development of automotive electronics technology and the increasing reliance on in-car camera systems, the trends of vehicle electrification and automotive intelligence have accelerated the advancement of in-car displays, automotive camera systems, and digital recording. This has continuously increased the scale and added value of in-car display products and automotive safety camera systems. The smart automotive electronics market is an important application area for Techpoint products. We hope to leverage our extensive experience and expertise in image chip design to provide more advanced products and services for automotive imaging technology and automotive safety in future smart vehicles. The recent achievement of ISO 26262 ASIL-D Functional Safety Process Certification for both the software and hardware development processes of our automotive-grade IC chips not only significantly demonstrates Techpoint’s comprehensive strength in the smart automotive electronics sector but also highlights Techpoint’s IC design principles of “customer-centric and safety-oriented design.” This certification continues to create customer value and ensure product reliability in terms of quality, functional safety, and process management.

Aaron Lee, Managing Director of DEKRA Taiwan, indicated that safety has always been key to automotive development. With the trends of intelligentization, automation, and connectivity, vehicles will be mounted with more highly functional electronic products, but these electronic systems with high complexity entail considerable risks to safety. This is where ISO 26262 process certification comes into play to ensure compliance with the required functional safety level when developing vehicles. Therefore, early implementation of ISO 26262 process certification at the design and development phases significantly reduces failure risks while saving time, resources, and cost of development.

DEKRA is one of the world’s leading expert organizations in the testing, inspection, and certification sector. DEKRA’s expert team can provide the automotive supply chain with integrated solutions, such as ISO 26262 / IEC 61508 Functional Safety, ISO/SAE 21434 / SAE J3061 Road Vehicle Cybersecurity, ISO 27001 / TISAX Automotive Industry Information Security Assessment standards, and Automotive SPICE software development maturity models. Our testing laboratories align with the latest international standards from major alliances and OEM car manufacturers, offering customers world-class testing capabilities and localized, real-time, one-stop services. We are the ideal testing partner for smart automotive electronics manufacturers aiming to enter the global market.

The list highlights dynamic young women who are making significant contributions to their communities and industries

FREDERICK, Md., Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Cause Fokus is proud to announce that its Founder and CEO, Brynne Krispin, has been recognized by The Daily Record as one of this year’s Leading Women Under 40. This prestigious award highlights dynamic young women who are making significant contributions to their communities and industries, excelling in their professions, and setting an example for the next generation of leaders.

“This recognition reflects the hard work and passion I have for supporting leaders who are making a difference in the world.” – Brynne Krispin, Founder and CEO, Cause Fokus

Brynne Krispin’s recognition is a testament to her dedication to empowering social impact organizations through Cause Fokus, a social media agency specializing in thought leadership and personal branding for purpose-driven executives.

In just one year, Krispin’s unwavering dedication and strategic acumen propelled Cause Fokusto unprecedented heights. Under her guidance, the agency experienced extraordinary growth, expanding its revenue by 238%.
Furthermore, Krispin’s commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment has been evident in her efforts to expand her remote team from 2 to 10 members. Knowing the social media industry has one of the [highest burnout rates, she remains committed to building a culture where innovation, curiosity, and work-life balance flourish.

Krispin’s impact extends far beyond the realm of business. As a single parent and active member of her community in Frederick, MD, she “embodies the values of compassion, empathy, and social responsibility,” according to the Leading Women Under 40 award.

In addition to her professional endeavors, Krispin generously volunteers her time and expertise, serving on the board of the Friends of the Child Advocacy Center and is a member of the Frederick Key City Rotary Club, Walkersville Business & Professional Association, and Washington Women in PR. Her dedication to giving back underscores her deep-rooted commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

“I am incredibly humbled and honored to be included in this group of inspiring women,” said Krispin. “This recognition reflects the hard work and passion I have for supporting leaders who are making a difference in the world. I believe that telling their stories with empathy and compassion can truly transform how we drive change, and I’m grateful to be part of that journey.”

The Daily Record’s Leading Women Under 40 award recognizes not only professional achievements but also dedication to community involvement and mentorship. Krispin’s work with Cause Fokus is deeply aligned with these values, as the agency continues to provide essential support to leaders in the nonprofit and social impact sectors.

While working as a social media manager at International Justice Mission in Washington, DC, Krispin started noticing this trend: the social media campaigns that integrated a personal account in addition to the brand’s social accounts produced the highest results. “People want to connect with people, not a logo,” Krispin said.

Following a mix of instincts and data, Krispin began testing and experimenting with social media strategies that leverage the influence and credibility of individuals rather than just a company’s brand.

“With the rise of thought leadership and the importance of building an executive presence online, it became clear that the more we tapped into an individual’s expertise – their stories, perspectives, and experience – the faster we saw audience growth, engagement, and brand loyalty increase.

“As we enter into a new era of AI, deep fakes, and feeling overwhelmed by the options that are available to us online, the more we’re seeing people crave real, authentic human connection with leaders they know and trust. This isn’t a trend that’s going away – it’s the future of social media,” Krispin said.

Cause Fokus was also honored as one of DC’s Top 10 Best New Advertising Startup Revolutionizing the US Market by BestStartUp.com in January 2024.
Since its founding in 2022, Cause Fokus has helped hundreds of leaders in the social impact sector build their online presence, amplify their voices, and elevate their impact in the communities they serve.

Mercy Executive Named Among Top Data/AI Leaders in Nation

Published

on

By

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Mercy’s industry-leading work in data and artificial intelligence has placed Byron Yount, PhD, chief data and AI officer and vice president of transformation operations, in good company with two prestigious organizations – the Gartner Research Board and Artificial Intelligence 150 (AI150) by Constellation Research. Both groups recognize innovative leadership from around the world in the fast-growing area of AI.

“It’s humbling to be listed among the leading voices in AI, and a testament to Mercy’s long commitment to innovation.”

Yount first joined the St. Louis-based health system in 2014 and has served in his current role since September 2023. He has been instrumental in Mercy’s development and use of AI to improve patient care by tapping into more than a decade of de-identified data in electronic health records. He has also been key in the collaboration with Mayo Clinic, as Mercy became the first health system to join the Mayo Clinic Platform_Connect.

The Gartner Research Board (GRB) brings together the most influential business leaders into a global forum in which members can test their thinking, gain a comprehensive view of the future and accelerate their impact. Mercy’s Yount is now one of many representing large-scale organizations that are part of this exclusive board, which are comprised of Fortune 500 organizations leading their respected industries.

The 2024 Constellation Research AI150 is an elite list of executives leading AI transformation efforts around the globe. In the inaugural year for the list, nominations from peers, industry influencers, technology vendors and analysts were included in a six-month selection process. Each executive on the list demonstrates an understanding of how the business environment is transforming in response to digital and exponential technologies –technologies that double in capability or performance over a short period of time – and are actively preparing their companies to excel during and after the transformation. 

“It’s humbling to be listed among the luminaries and leading voices in AI from around the world, and a testament to Mercy’s long commitment to digital innovation,” Yount said. “AI is becoming increasingly common, vital and advanced for all industries. I’m proud to work with a world-class team dedicated to harnessing its power to create a meaningful, equitable impact for our patients and care teams.”

“This rapidly evolving field has pioneers, policy shapers and practitioners that will transform industries,” noted R “Ray” Wang, founder and CEO at Constellation Research. “The AI150 is our attempt of identifying a small slice of the innovators and change agents who are making substantial contributions to the advancement of this revolution.”

Mercy is a founding member of Coalition for Health AI (CHAI), an organization whose mission is to be the trusted source of guidelines for responsible AI in health. Yount worked with other CHAI members to draft an AI Assurance Standards Guide, recently released, which provides considerations to ensure standards are met in the deployment of AI in health care.

Mercy, one of the 20 largest U.S. health systems and named the top large system in the U.S. for excellent patient experience by NRC Health, serves millions annually with nationally recognized care and one of the nation’s largest and highest performing Accountable Care Organizations in quality and cost. Mercy is a highly integrated, multi-state health care system including more than 50 acute care and specialty (heart, children’s, orthopedic and rehab) hospitals, convenient and urgent care locations, imaging centers and pharmacies. Mercy has over 900 physician practice locations and outpatient facilities, more than 4,500 physicians and advanced practitioners and 50,000 co-workers serving patients and families across Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Mercy also has clinics, outpatient services and outreach ministries in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. In fiscal year 2023 alone, Mercy provided more than half a billion dollars of free care and other community benefits, including traditional charity care and unreimbursed Medicaid.
