The THeMIS UGVs was developed for the Dutch Army’s Concept Development and Experimentation Project on how to exploit the possibilities of new unmanned platforms to increase combat power and decrease risk to soldiers. They were delivered in transport configuration, together with initial spare parts and accessories. Milrem Robotics will also provide operator and maintenance training, tactical deployment know-how and life cycle support and upgrades during a two-year period. “Rigorous tests and combat exercises held in Europe, US (the United States) and the Middle-East have proven that the THeMIS is an effective tool for dismounted troops, and we have no doubt the Dutch Army will be more than satisfied,” said Milrem Robotics chief executive officer, Kuldar Väärsi. The capabilities of the THeMIS were put to the test, right after delivery in the tough Scottish landscape during an exercise where the RAS used UGVs for the first time, according to a statement. It was previously deployed in several military exercises, including Last Mile and Army Warfighting Experiment 2018 in the United Kingdom and recently deployed in Mali, together with soldiers from the Estonian Defence Forces. -- BERNAMA TOKYO, May 30 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched “TB67H450FNG,” the latest addition to its line-up of brushed DC motor driver ICs.

As detailed in a new Best’s Market Segment Report, titled “Market Segment Outlook: India Non-Life Insurance,” India’s non-life insurers have been one of the main beneficiaries of the country’s fast-growing economy, and the industry has seen a substantial increase in insurable risks, largely driven by compulsory agriculture insurance. However, heavy competition and cumbersome regulatory hurdles for product development hinder technical performance, with most companies relying on strong investment income derived from the exceptional performance of Indian equities, which have shown sustained outperformance relative to global indices. The market’s combined ratios has fluctuated between 110 and 125 over the past five years, and most insurers have become dependent on investment income to generate profitability. The sustainability of such earnings may put the long-term viability of many insurers into question. Motor insurance, which consists of own damage and third-party liability (TPL), continues to dominate the non-life insurance market, generating about 40% of premium volumes. Market results indicate that the segment’s incurred loss ratio has improved over time. However, the size of the reserves for this line relative to capital remains very significant. Although insurers have strengthened reserves in recent years, concerns about the prudency and potential for tail development remain, given that some claims may get caught up in India’s slow-moving court system. Unfavorable reserve adjustments have the potential to significantly impact current performance and capital even more so, given the lack of profitability in many other lines. A mandatory crop insurance scheme, launched in 2016 to provide insurance coverage to farmers, has provide a premium boost to non-life insurers, catapulting agriculture premiums to INR20.6 billion in fiscal-year 2017 from INR5.3 billion in fiscal-year 2016. However, the scheme recently has come under criticism due to volatile loss ratios given the wide variances between the country’s two main cropping seasons, as well as reported numerous delays on claims settlements. Despite the negative outlook, AM Best recognizes that some non-life insurers still may experience growth. The profitability and capital strength of companies that demonstrate sound risk management practices and disciplined underwriting likely are to improve steadily.

ATLANTA, May 29 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Biolog-id solution was first implemented in 2018 to focus on the distribution and inventory management of Platelet Concentrates (PCs) between the Blood Center and 4 hospitals located nearby. In 2019, it is also covering the Phenotyped Red Blood Cell Concentrates (RBCs) managed by the Hoxworth Blood Center’s Immunohematology Reference Laboratory (IRL). The laboratory provides testing and consultation to assist hospitals in solving patients’ red blood cell serological problems. The implementation of the Biolog-Transfusion® in Hoxworth Blood Center ensures the availability of platelets concentrates and their on-time delivery while reducing the risk of wastage by implementing a safe return of unused products and more particularly to reduce the transportation costs from the Blood Center to the hospitals, control the shelf life of the remote platelets stock sitting in the hospitals, allow the unused products to return and be reassigned in a timely manner before expiration, reduce wastage of products overall, improve accuracy and documentation of inventory and better comply with regulatory requirements. “As of today, we are satisfied with the BIOLOG-ID solution for platelets as well as their professional and committing team” says Jose A. Cancelas, Director of Hoxworth Blood Center. Extension on the overall blood product production and supply is under consideration by Hoxworth Blood Center. About Hoxworth Blood Center Hoxworth Blood Center is a public institution belonging to the University of Cincinnati (OH).

Additions to the test menu will include morphology, IHC, flow cytometry, as well as the latest multiparameter flow- (MPF) and NGS-based minimal residual disease (MRD) testing of primary specimens. The newly-added services will further support rapid patient diagnosis, study subject enrolment and stratifications. They will be available by year-end in San Diego, followed by the clinical laboratories in Japan, Germany and China. Invivoscribe chief scientific officer and chief executive officer, Dr Jeffrey Miller said the comprehensive test menu would eliminate the need for partners to split primary specimens, dramatically decreasing turnaround times and accelerating receipt of comprehensive test reports. “This is especially, important for partners performing international clinical trials, as enrolment in frontline therapies often requires timely testing and reporting, which can be delayed when using multiple vendors.” Invivoscribe’s wholly-owned LabPMM laboratories are accredited per regional requirement and the only clinical reference laboratories offering tests with bioinformatics software developed and manufactured by Invivoscribe in its FDA-registered cGMP facility. -- BERNAMA
