CFD Trading: What it is and How it Works

April 15, 2021 by Polly Leave a Comment

CFDs are leveraged instruments traded over-the-counter with a securities firm, which is commonly referred to as a CFD provider. A CFD is a Specified Investment Product (SIP), on a need to sell or buy basis.

Dealing in CFD is attractive to day traders that can use leverage in trading assets that are more costly to buy and sell. However, the low industry regulation, potential lack of liquidity, and the need to maintain an adequate margin make CFD a risky trade. [Read more…] about CFD Trading: What it is and How it Works

How Artificial Intelligence is Shaping the Competition Between Website Builders

April 15, 2021 by Polly Leave a Comment

Given the tremendous strides forward in technology over the past few years, it can feel a little jarring for experts and industry correspondents to realize that artificial intelligence still represents something of an abstract concept to much of the general public.

This holds true even in spite of the fact that the overwhelming majority interact with and, more importantly, utilise artificial intelligence to at least some degree on a daily basis, and that much of our collective twenty-first-century worldview is defined, shaped, and influenced by AI.

Of course, the list of instances wherein AI is being deployed to great effect within consumer circles is incredibly long – and it is growing longer each and every year. [Read more…] about How Artificial Intelligence is Shaping the Competition Between Website Builders

How Does the Value of Your Car Influence Insurance Cost?

April 15, 2021 by Polly Leave a Comment

Owning and driving a car is unquestionably expensive in Singapore, and this fact represents a key reason why so few people – around 11 per cent – do own vehicles in this small country.

As a driver and car owner, it is easy to lose track of at least some of the many small costs you will have, all of which can together add up to massive expenses. The costs can particularly pile on if you are gearing up to buy a new car.

Even when you get the best deal on your car insurance in Singapore, the premium will typically cost at least S$1,500 per year if the driver does not have a no claim discount (NCD). [Read more…] about How Does the Value of Your Car Influence Insurance Cost?

Taurob and Equinor to introduce autonomous robots on Norway’s offshore platforms

April 15, 2021 by Sam Francis Leave a Comment

Norwegian petroleum refining company Equinor is introducing autonomous ATEX-certified robots on their oil and gas installations.

ATEX is the European certification given to equipment tested and approved to be “intrinsically safe”.

Partner in the project is inspection robotics specialist Taurob of Austria. Its robot will be used to conduct routine inspection and maintenance tasks on offshore installations.

Taurob started developing robotics applied for human safety, particularly in emergency response situations, 11 years ago. Safety is also the main driver for the energy domain to step into robotics. [Read more…] about Taurob and Equinor to introduce autonomous robots on Norway’s offshore platforms

Baidu Apollo awarded China’s first licenses to test autonomous vehicles at night and in special weather conditions

April 15, 2021 by Mai Tao Leave a Comment

Baidu Apollo has received China’s first batch of qualifications to test autonomous vehicles at night and in special weather conditions on public roads in Beijing.

A total of 53 such test qualification notices along with five general public road test licenses were granted to Baidu Apollo at the Beijing Intelligent Connected Vehicle Policy Pilot Zone launch event on April 13, 2021. The Pilot Zone encompasses 225 square kilometers, six highways, and urban expressways that cover a total length of 143 kilometers.

The ability to transport users during peak rush hours, nighttime, and bad weather scenarios – such as rainstorm conditions – poses an immense challenge in regards to the perception, prediction, planning and control capabilities of autonomous vehicles.

DFI brings accurate indoor positioning for e-commerce warehousing

April 15, 2021 by Elaine Leave a Comment

DFI’s embedded computers have helped the largest e-commerce platform in Taiwan to realize a more accurate indoor positioning in smart warehouse.

Affected by the raging Covid-19, the public avoids going out in fear of infection. Not only has e-commerce orders surged, but significant e-commerce companies must also expand the deployment of more advanced robots, such as shuttles between shelves, to increase the floor area ratio and improve storage efficiency.

Based on the needs of a top e-commerce company in Taiwan, DFI quickly customized the EC700-BT system and added an expansion card to provide a COM port compatible with RS-232/422/485 protocols and with galvanic isolation protection.
