Richly Ornamented—Digital Preservation of Historic Buildings

Historic buildings, as non-renewable heritage, carry the history and cultural deposits of a city, and are the city's unrepeatable cultural nameplate. With the rapid advancement of urban construction and economic development, historic buildings are facing serious preservation and inheritance problems. Protecting historic buildings is to retain the cultural lineage of the city, and it will benefit our future generations. The traditional way of protecting historic buildings is mainly through manual methods to map the composition, which requires a lot of manpower, material resources and time and is objectively easy to cause damage to the historic buildings in the process of preservation. 3D laser scanning technology and photogrammetry technology has non-contact, accuracy and rapidity, and virtual reality technology has interoperability. The introduction of 3D laser scanning technology, photogrammetry technology, virtual reality technology, BIM and GIS for refined modeling and management of historic buildings can provide an important means for realizing the preservation and inheritance of historic buildings.

CASPER - VISUAL CHAT-GPT FOR INDUSTRY

The national issue of finding qualified industrial workers capable of operating complex equipment continues to worsen. The manufacturing sector faces high employee turnover, necessitating the rapid hiring of new personnel. Traditionally, training has been conducted through mentorship: newcomers worked under the supervision of experienced mentors who trained them for weeks or even months. However, this method is not scalable, especially when the number of new workers exceeds the number of experienced mentors. This is precisely the situation we are encountering now. CASPER addresses this problem. Instead of tying a new employee to a mentor, you can provide them with CASPER. The worker can use a smartphone or tablet at the equipment and learn to operate it safely and efficiently through visual instructions right in front of them.

KisanKraft's Dry Direct Seeded Rice (DDSR) Technology

Problem: Rice is a staple food for half the world's population. 5,000 liters of water are required to produce 1kg of rice. Transplanted rice (TPR) accounts for 12% of global methane emissions, accelerates eutrophication & reduces nutrient use efficiency. Rice farming practices need to be updated to facilitate greater mechanization because of reduction in labour availability Solution: KisanKraft has developed new varieties of DDSR. DSR wasn’t successful because farmers were using the TPR varieties in DSR conditions which resulted in yield penalties. There was a need to develop varieties that were suitable for DDSR conditions. We are one of few organizations developing varieties of DDSR & machinery to manage weeds. DDSR varieties can be developed by crossing lines with the drought-tolerance & high yield. Our R&D started with collecting rice lines from various locations & then screening them for drought resistance & yield, using 3 methods: 1. ROOT STUDIES: Plants were sown in PVC pipes for root traits 2. FIELD STUDIES: Plants were grown in field for yield characters 3. MOLECULAR STUDIES: Marker Assisted Selection was done. Crosses were made after analysing the data. Resulting progenies were advanced till they become stable. This resulted in 15 varieties suitable for DDSR condition. Many more such varieties are in the pipeline. FARM MECHANIZATION: The newly developed attachment is a modification of the hoe cutter. The attachment was designed to be used between the rows of the DDSR. Further, other machines suitable for DDSR were made available to the farmers, like Seed drills, Sprayers, harvesters. This in turn resulted in increased farm efficiency. RESULTS: 1. New DDSR Varieties: Now, there are 15 varieties that are suitable for DDSR 2. Farm mechanization: The newly developed hoe cutter eased the problem of weed management in DDSR condition. The availability of whole range of farm machinery solutions increased farm efficiency 3. Water & labor saving: Reduced water use by 50-60%: No puddling, no nursery, no transplanting, no standing water at any stage of crop growth reduces water requirement. This also reduced labor requirement 4. Eco-friendly: Methane emission in this method of rice production is almost eliminated 5. Sustainability: No water outflow increases fertilizer use efficiency & eliminates eutrophication of water bodies. It also reduces the outbreak of pests & diseases, reducing pesticide consumption, making this a sustainable form of rice cultivation 6. Reduced seed rate: 8-10 kg seeds per acre compared to 25 kg per acre in TPR 7. Improved Soil Health: Crop rotation & Inter-cropping with pulses are possible. The absence of puddling preserves the soil structure. These improve soil health & fertility 8. Increased Income: Reduction in input costs & labour, reduces the cost of rice cultivation. These DDSR varieties yield like the TPR varieties. With reduced cost & the same yield, the overall profit of the farmer has increased significantly

+120% to Feature Activation and Growth of 8 Metrics: the Case of Kaspersky Mobile Security for iOS

1. Some users think our app is designed only to search for viruses and malware, whereas it actually provides comprehensive security for a device. It was an exciting insight to learn some users see a security app for their 21st-century device solely as a program with 20th-century functionality. 2. The second problem is somewhat related to the first, but we’d like to consider it separately as we found it only after analyzing app metrics: paid users don’t see and never use some of the features they paid for. We did our best to find a solution to both problems that wouldn’t require too many development resources. One solution was to design a feature that would check the security settings of the device and detect unconfigured features of our app — it could suggest unused features to the user and draw their attention to them. It could help the user quickly fix the identified vulnerabilities, which in turn should improve their digital security while simultaneously attracting new customers for our business.
