KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 16 (Bernama) -- NEC Corporation (NEC) subsidiary, NEC Corporation (Thailand) has provided Thailand's Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA) with hands-on cyber defence training for government agencies in that country.
NEC in a statement said the training was held in Bangkok, Thailand from Dec 6 to 9 for more than 50 government officials from the ETDA and other government agencies. "NEC's hands-on cyber defence training aims to enhance the abilities of system administrators in government agencies to effectively handle the increasing threat of cyber-attacks. "By providing simulations of a customer's ICT (Information Communication Technology) infrastructure, the practical training enables the cultivation of system administrators with comprehensive cyber defence capabilities," it added. According to NEC, the ETDA, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society, is one of the agencies responsible for cyber security in Thailand. "As part of this, the ETDA operates ThaiCERT, the Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) responsible for handling computer security incidents in the country," said the statement. -- BERNAMA HELSINKI, Dec 15 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- The City of Helsinki has commissioned two next-generation 3D city models: a smart, semantic city information model and a visually high-quality reality mesh model. These models are based on the most recent measurement, modelling and city information model methods developed over the past ten years. Helsinki is the first city in the world to simultaneously utilise both 3D city models. They are available as open data.
“The city information model is based on the open, global CityGML standard, and many open source code applications have been applied in the model work. This will bring benefits to tax-paying city inhabitants,” project manager, Mr Jarmo Suomisto from City of Helsinki emphasises. The versatile models enable the calculation and visualisation of city analyses, for example on the possibilities of alternative energy sources, greenhouse gas emissions and the environmental impact of traffic. The models can also be applied to the needs of businesses, tourism, navigation, rescue authorities, telecommunication network construction, building management and regional planning. mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=28135 STAMFORD, Conn., Dec 13 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Intrepid Aviation confirmed today the acquisition of a new B777-300ER aircraft from Boeing in Seattle and its delivery on long-term lease to Manila-based Philippine Airlines.

TOKYO, Dec 9 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Corporation’s (TOKYO:6502) Storage & Electronic Devices Solutions Company today expanded its “U-MOS IX-H Series” of low-voltage N-channel power MOSFETs with new 40V and 45V products delivering industry leading-class[1] low on-resistance and high-speed performance. The new products —nine 40V and five 45V versions—are designed for industrial and consumer applications, including high-efficiency DC-DC converters, high-efficiency AC-DC converters, power supplies and motor drives. Shipments start today. The new MOSFETs utilize Toshiba’s latest generation low-voltage trench structure U-MOS IX-H process to achieve the industry’s leading-class[1] low on-resistance and high-speed performance. The new structure lowers the performance index for “RDS(ON) * Qsw”[2], improving switching applications to a level surpassing current Toshiba products[3]. Output loss is improved by the reduction of output charge, which can contribute to higher set efficiency. Furthermore, the cell structures used in the new MOSFETs are optimized to suppress spike voltage and ringing during switching, which can contribute to lowering set EMI. mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=28108 SEMINAR ON 'THE IMPROVEMENT OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN FRASER'S HILL' (27 OCTOBER, 2016)8/12/2016 KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 30 (Bernama) -- JICA in collaboration with SW Corp has organised the ‘Seminar on The Improvement of Solid Waste Management in Fraser’s Hill’ on 27 October, 2016 at the KPKT Training Centre, Bukit Tinggi, Pahang.
