The two companies will conduct high-speed quantum chemical calculations using HPC and AI technologies to accelerate the selection and optimization of new catalytic materials for sustainable ammonia production.Based on the results of this joint research, the two companies ultimately aim to establish a clean ammonia production method as a basis for power generation and hydrogen energy and to contribute to the discovery of new materials to achieve a carbon-zero future.Background and ChallengesAmmonia offers a potentially promising alternative to fossil fuels and engines that run on ammonia are already available. However, the emission of large amounts of CO2 during industrial processes to produce it remains a major challenge. Ammonia is currently produced on an industrial scale using the Haber-Bosch(1) process, which relies on hydrogen sourced from fossil fuels. Retrofitting the industrial process to use hydrogen sourced from electrolysis of water is possible. However, this is a more energy intensive route and does not fit well with the intermittent nature of renewable sourced electricity (such as solar/wind) as the Haber-Bosch process requires a continuous source of hydrogen to maintain operation of the downstream processes, which in turn requires uninterrupted source of electricity.In addressing this issue, Atmonia has been conducting research on innovative methods to produce ammonia by only using water, nitrogen from air, and clean electricity. To develop new catalysts that can produce ammonia using protons from water and nitrogen from air, Atmonia aims to further expand and improve the efficiency of its research in catalysts for ammonia production by conducting various tests to simulate chemical reactions using quantum chemical calculations.Outline of the joint researchWithin the joint research, the two companies will leverage HPC technology and AI technology for scientific discovery(2) developed by Fujitsu, as well as simulating data on ammonia production accumulated by Atmonia to conduct high-speed quantum chemistry simulations of a wide range of catalysts. The research will focus on the development of technologies for the discovery of new materials that can reduce the time required for selecting catalytic materials and optimizing surface structures(3).By identifying new catalysts for electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction, the two companies aim to promote a carbon-free next-generation energy carrier that contributes to the goal of realizing carbon neutrality.1. Period : April 13, 2022 to March 31, 2023 2. Responsibilities of the two companies :Fujitsu- Develop technology for high-speed simulation to discover new catalysts using HPC technology for quantum chemistry simulation.- Develop AI technology for the discovery of new materials, and new catalyst candidates for ammonia synthesis.Atmonia- Provide data from simulations and experiments on catalyst candidates and reaction environments for the nitrogen reduction reaction.- Provide methodology for examination of catalyst search, interpretation method, and know-how for selection of simulation methods.- Verification and evaluation of the developed technology for the discovery of new materials.Future PlansThe two companies will work to establish a clean ammonia production method, where the ammonia can be used as sustainable fertilizer, fuel for combustion and energy carrier, promoting efficient methods for the discovery of new materials with the ultimate goal to contribute to efforts to achieve zero carbon emissions.Fujitsu will further leverage technologies to accelerate chemical simulations developed during this joint research as well as AI technology and principles from Materials Informatics(4), to support companies that develop new materials.(1) Haber-Bosch method :A method for producing ammonia by fixing hydrogen with nitrogen (directly under high temperature and pressure conditions) over an iron-based catalyst.(2) HPC technology and AI technology for scientific discovery :HPC technology and AI technology for scientific discovery developed in a joint research project with the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS, as follows) that started in fiscal 2021.(3) Fujitsu and Atmonia conducted research to efficiently discover new reaction mechanisms including the adsorption between substances by calculating the reaction energy and reaction rate between nitrogen and hydrogen and catalysts to reduce the time required for selecting catalytic materials and optimizing surface structures.(4) Materials Informatics :field of study to accelerate the discovery of new materials by combining data science and AI technologies with technologies to simulate and analyze the synthesis of materials that can reduce time and costs necessary for development of new materials to a great extent.About FujitsuFujitsu is the leading Japanese information and communication technology (ICT) company offering a full range of technology products, solutions and services.

Fujitsu and Tokyo Medical and Dental University leverage world’s fastest supercomputer and AI technology for scientific discovery to shed light on drug resistance in cancer treatment

TOKYO, Mar 7, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Fujitsu and the Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) today announced a new technology that uses AI to discover new causal mechanisms of drug resistance in cancer treatments from clinical data. Leveraging the world's fastest supercomputer "Fugaku,"(1) the new technology enables high-speed calculation of 20,000 variables of data within a single day and allows for the discovery of previously unknown causal relationships relating to drug resistance in cancer cells from 1,000 trillion different possibilities.Fujitsu and TMDU applied this technology to gene expression level(2) data obtained from cancer cell lines in order to analyze drug resistance(3) against anticancer drugs, and succeeded in extracting a new causal mechanism of a previously unknown gene that suggests a cause of resistance to lung cancer drugs. The new technology is expected to contribute to the acceleration of drug discovery and the realization of cancer therapies individualized for each patient.The technology was developed under the theme of "elucidation of the cause and diversity of cancer using large-scale data analysis and AI technology," an initiative supported by TMDU, Kyoto University and Fujitsu as part of the supercomputer Fugaku achievement acceleration program(4).BackgroundEven if a patient receives a targeted cancer drug(5) therapy, the appearance of drug-resistant cancer cells represents an ongoing threat to full remission. The mechanism for how certain cancers become drug resistant remains unclear, however, and researchers continue to work on new methods of analysis that shed light on how cells that have multiple driver mutations(6) acquire drug resistance. In drug development and clinical trials involving drug repositioning(7), it is important to identify patients for whom drugs are anticipated to have an effect. However, the effectiveness of drugs may differ depending on the organ and the individual and variations in gene expression, and the number of patterns combining expression levels of multiple genes exceeds 1,000 trillion(8). A comprehensive search of all 20,000 genes in the human genome would thus take more than 4,000 years with a conventional computer and finding ways to accelerate the process represents a major challenge.Newly developed technologyFujitsu implemented parallel conditional and causal algorithms to maximize computational performance with the supercomputer Fugaku to analyze the human genome within a timeframe needed for practical research. By utilizing Fujitsu's "Wide Learning"(9) AI technology to extract combinations of potential genes relating to the emergence of drug resistance based on statistical information, Fujitsu developed a novel technology that makes it possible to conduct a comprehensive search within a day.ResultsAs a result of running data of the Dependency Map (DepMap)(10) portal using this technology on the supercomputer Fugaku, Fujitsu and TMDU were able to search the entire human genome for conditions and causality within a single day and determine the genes that cause resistance to drugs used to treat lung cancer(11).Comment from Prof. Seiji Ogawa, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto UniversityPromising technologies like Fujitsu's AI technology for scientific discovery ("Wide Learning") may one day contribute to the discovery of biomarkers, which represent an area of growing interest in drug development. The key to the success of new drug development is to identify patients who are expected to benefit from new drugs and conduct clinical trials. If the marker that predicts who will benefit from the drug is known, the cost of clinical trials can significantly be reduced and the probability of success by conducting individual clinical trials can be increased. From this point of view, pharmaceutical manufacturers and others are expected to be very interested in this technology. The fact that it has been implemented using Fugaku has also raised expectations.Future PlansMoving forward, Fujitsu and TMDU will conduct a multilayered and comprehensive analysis that combines various data including time axis and location data with the aim of accelerating medical research, including in the field of drug efficacy, as well as to shed light on the causes of cancer. Fujitsu and TMDU will also collaborate in experimental research in the fields of drug discovery and medicine. TMDU will further utilize the technology developed in this research to promote research on strategies for intractable diseases such as cancer. In addition to medical care, Fujitsu will utilize the new technology to resolve challenges in a variety of fields, including marketing, system operations and manufacturing.AcknowledgementsThis research was conducted as part of Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's Fugaku Achievement Acceleration Program "Understanding the Origin and Diversity of Cancer through Large-scale Data Analysis and Artificial Intelligence Technologies" (JPMXP 1020200102). A part of the research was conducted with the computational resources of supercomputer Fugaku (Issue #: hp 200138, hp 210167).(1) Supercomputer "Fugaku":A computer installed at RIKEN as a successor to the supercomputer "K." From June 2020 to November 3, it ranked first in 4 categories in the supercomputer rankings for 4 consecutive years. Full operation started on March 9, 2021.(2) Gene expression level :Amount of RNA copied from DNA (the same nucleic acid as DNA synthesized by transcription using some DNA sequences as templates).(3) Drug resistance :A phenomenon in which the effect of a drug weakens while the drug is being administered.(4) Supercomputer Fugaku Achievement Acceleration Program :Program started in May 2020 by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology with the aim to achieve early results.(5) Targeted drug :A drug designed to act only on the molecule (protein, gene, etc.) that is causing the disease.(6) Driver mutations :A genetic mutation that directly causes the development or progression of cancer.(7) Drug repositioning :The application of existing drugs developed and approved for the treatment of one disease to the treatment of another disease.(8) More than 1,000 trillion :Even if the expression level of each gene is restricted to a combination of 50 major genes known to be related to cancer and the expression level of each gene is classified into 2 categories (e.g., "high" or "low" gene expression), the condition number is 2 to the power of 50, which exceeds 1,000 trillion.(9) Wide Learning :Official site "Hello, Wide Learning!"(10) Dependency Map (DepMap) :Data on the sensitivity and resistance of approximately 4,500 drugs to approximately 600 different cancer cell lines, provided by the American Broad Institute. Mutation information of cancer cell lines and expression data of all genes are included.(11) Fujitsu and TMDU analyzed gene expression data from DepMap of approximately 300 cancer cell lines, sensitivity and resistance data of Gefitinib (molecularly targeted drug used to treat lung cancer and other cancer types), and comprehensively searched for conditions and mechanisms of cancer cell lines that do not respond to Gefitinib. Fujitsu and TMDU identified conditions under which the expression levels of three transcription factors (genes that control gene transcription (synthesis of RNA)), ZNF516, E2F6, and EMX1, were low. In lung cancer cell lines that meet these conditions, a mechanism triggered by the transcription factors SP7 and PRRX1 was discovered as further potential causes of drug resistance in cancer cells (see reference image).About FujitsuFujitsu is the leading Japanese information and communication technology (ICT) company offering a full range of technology products, solutions and services.

Fujitsu Launches Sustainable 5G vRAN to Deliver Potential Reductions in CO2 Emissions of over 50%

TOKYO, Feb 24, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Fujitsu today announced that it has successfully developed new software virtualized radio access network (vRAN)(1) technology with support for 5G Standalone (SA) and will offer it for verification by telecommunications carriers from March 2022. By leveraging Fujitsu's AI and quantum-inspired "Digital Annealer"(2) technologies to optimize computing resources, the newly developed vRAN technology addresses one of the key challenges of conventional vRANs, delivering high-performance with low-energy consumption. Fujitsu estimates that this approach offers the potential to reduce overall system CO2 emissions by 50% or more compared to conventional base station systems by 2025, while offering users high-quality, stable communications.https://www.fujitsu.com/global/microsite/mwc-2022/CO2 emission reduction of the entire system using this vRANMoving forward, Fujitsu plans to deploy this vRAN technology globally, offering robust and innovative support to telecommunications carriers working to reduce their carbon footprint, and ultimately contribute to the realization of a more sustainable society. Learn more about this at MWC Barcelona 2022 at Fujitsu's Booth 2G60 from February 28, 2022 to March 3, 2022.BackgroundIn recent years, advances including performance improvements in general-purpose CPUs and the virtualization of wireless signal processing and control technology (telecom function) have opened an exciting wide range of new possibilities for technological innovation in communications, including the appearance of vRAN technology. The introduction of vRANs composed of general-purpose servers, which don't require the costly development of specialized hardware, is currently drawing attention as an attractive alternative to conventional base stations.Despite their promise, existing vRAN technology continues to face barriers to wider adoption. For instance, vRANs that are not configured with dedicated equipment tend to have lower performance efficiency than conventional base stations. To maintain the same performance, more hardware must be built in, resulting in higher environmental loads in areas like power consumption. In terms of stability and redundancy, there have also been cases in which conventional vRANs cannot sufficiently guarantee carrier-grade communication quality.Features of Fujitsu's vRANFujitsu's new vRAN technology supports 5G SA and conforms to O-RAN specifications, while leveraging the following proprietary technologies to successfully solve some of the challenges surrounding conventional vRANs. By optimizing the entire 5G wireless network and reducing the amount of equipment and power consumption, Fujitsu's vRAN offers the potential to contribute to significant reductions in the total CO2 emissions throughout carriers' 5G wireless systems.1. Fujitsu's customization approach for high-performance, high-capacity communicationsImproved software control methods for high performance and capacity in communications. Increase communication speed and communication coverage area from two to four times.2. Dynamic resource allocation technologyFujitsu has developed its own dynamic resource allocation technology that reduces excess resources and power consumption by making it possible to flexibly adjust the computing resources of servers needed for operations according to the usage status (traffic volume) of base stations, which varies with region and time of day. By linking the RAN intelligent control unit (RIC)(3), and SMO(4) which orchestrates and manages the entire network, with this technology, mobile phone users' movements and application usage are estimated and optimal resource allocation is achieved.3. Automatic cell re-design technologyIn addition to using AI to predict future traffic fluctuations, this system leverages Fujitsu's quantum-inspired Digital Annealer computing technology to enable optimal allocation of computing resources by rapidly solving problems that are difficult to solve with today's general-purpose computers. By using the superior combinatorial optimization capabilities of the Digital Annealer, it is possible to derive the optimal connection destinations from the various combinations of radio units (RU) and vRANs (Central Unit / Distributed Unit) in environments where radio waves from many base stations overlap.Future plansIn March 2022, Fujitsu will begin providing software that runs on general-purpose servers for carrier verification, and will support various types of verification, including field testing. By the end of fiscal 2022, Fujitsu plans to start offering this technology as a service on a global basis, with the aim of expanding it to the commercial service networks of each carrier. Its goal is to reduce total CO2 emissions by 50% or more by 2025, compared to conventional base station systems, by successively updating software functions and further improving technologies to reduce environmental impact.(1) virtualized radio access network (vRAN): A virtualized base station created using specialized base station control function-enabling software hosted on a general-purpose server.(2) Digital Annealer: Fujitsu's domain-specific computer architecture specializes in solving combinatorial optimization problems that are difficult to solve with general-purpose computers because of the huge computational complexity.(3) RAN Intelligent Control Unit (RIC): A RAN control unit that can optimize wireless resource management and automate operations.(4) SMO: An abbreviation for Service Management and Orchestration.

SMEStreet: Tally Solutions Join Hands for National Productivity Day’s Exclusive Webinar on Industry 4.0

New Delhi, India, Feb 18, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - SMEStreet along with Tally Solutions organized a webinar on the 12th of Februrary,2022 to mark the occasion of National Productivity Day, on the theme Industry 4.0 - Journey Ahead for MSMEs.The National Productivity Day is a part of the National Productivity Week observed from 12th-18th February every year in the country by the National Productivity Council under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.In light of the National Productivity Day that aims to highlight the importance of productivity, efficiency and innovation across different sectors of the economy so as to augment the economic growth of the country altogether, the focus of the webinar essentially revolved around understanding of Industry 4.0 and the kind of opportunities it brings to the table for the MSMEs particularly.The webinar saw the presence of distinguished panelists who articulated their ingenious perspectives on various aspects of Industry 4.0 and the roadmap for MSMEs to navigate the same and equip themselves for the future.Mr. BB Swain, Secretary, MSME Ministry, shed light on the enormous significance that technology holds as a means to drive the MSME sector and the digitization of manufacturing process therein. He also highlighted various schemes and measures undertaken by the Ministry to promote the integration of the essentials of industry 4.0 amongst MSMEs. The ministry is working on schemes still under discussion that are primarily concerned with providing necessary support and information to MSMEs regarding registration, access to credit and technology and to all related activities which can enhance their performance quality. "The ministry has been running several seminars, workshops and trainings to create awareness and familiarization of M2M, IoT, AI, etc. through its various technology centres."Mr. Swain also added, "The Ministry of MSME is working with clusters and associations to assess ground level requirements. Among such endeavours is one of getting in place an IoT readiness index; it'll be a diagnostic study to assess the appetite and acceptability. Once available, the necessary and customized intervention will be provided."Moreover, Mr. Swain elaborated on the endeavours of the Ministry like the Champions portal to curtail the ordeal faced by MSMEs post the onset of the pandemic, especially the micro industries that were impacted the most. The Champions Portal was set up to address the grievances of MSMEs about 15 per cent of which were technology related which in turn affirmed the receptiveness of the sector to technology and Industry 4.0 by and large.Complete Recording of the WebinarThere exist a multitude of challenges that the MSME sector has to endure so as to sustain in the market and M. S. Ravi, Ex Chairman, BSE India, rightly elaborated on some of the key components that either make or break the MSMEs namely, Efficient business model, Equity and working capital, Operating costs, Ability to bear shocks and lastly an Efficient credit cycle. Stressing on the relevance of incorporating technology into MSMEs to optimise productivity, M. Ravi said, "The operating costs can be reduced by 5-7 per cent through technology. Technology doesn't come easy; we have to have a shared platform for common industries so that at least the technology costs can come down." In addition, M. Ravi opined that the exorbitant compliance costs like GST, tax, etc. can also be reduced by a sizeable amount through the use of adequate technology.Apart from technology; the ability to constantly adapt to the changing needs of the customers, to be able to engage with them and analyse the changing nuances of the market are all pivotal in fostering innovation amongst MSMEs. "As we look at the culture in addition to the customer, the second important pillar which I think each one of us as we reflect, will recognise, is the need to innovate," said Mr. Manoj Chugh, Board Member, Mahindra Group. He also added, "As we look at making investments in technology which are very very important, it is also incredibly important to look at reskilling our workforce because if our workforce doesn't understand how the new world is going to work, we are not going to be successful as an entrepreneur or as a small team which is driving the business."Mr. Arun Kumar Jha, Ex Director General, NPC, also gave his insights regarding how industry 4.0 is likely to revolutionize how businesses work in the country in more ways than one and has out and out provided an exponential boost to the country's economic development through the generation of employment opportunities, foreign exchange by means of export of IT services to other countries so on and so forth.
