Liquid Instruments Introduces Moku:Pro – A High Performance, Software-Defined Instrumentation Platform for Engineers and Scientists

New architecture delivers nine instruments with real-time measurement capabilities to the research lab

Moku:Pro In Lab Setting

Moku:Pro brings test and measurement into the modern age, allowing engineers and researchers to dynamically switch between instruments rather than needing multiple stand-alone devices.

CANBERRA, Australia and SAN DIEGO, June 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Liquid Instruments, an innovator in precision software-defined instrumentation, today announced Moku:Pro, a high-performance platform for engineering and research labs.

Moku:Pro accelerates the transition from traditional fixed-function test and measurement hardware to a flexible field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based approach by making high-quality instruments accessible in an integrated, software-upgradeable platform.

“Researchers in engineering and physics face constantly evolving requirements – with changes occurring on timescales much shorter than the lifespan of test equipment,” said Daniel Shaddock, CEO of Liquid Instruments. “Moku:Pro’s software-enabled-hardware architecture allows it to evolve as your applications evolve, something that is simply not possible with conventional test equipment.”

Moku:Pro hosts nine powerful instruments, including an oscilloscope, lock-in amplifier, PID controller, phasemeter, arbitrary waveform generator, data logger, spectrum analyzer, frequency response analyzer, and waveform generator to ensure researchers have the instrumentation they need to quickly characterize their set up and scale their experiments. The platform was designed to meet the needs of researchers in a variety of fields, from aerospace to semiconductor. Moku:Pro’s instrument suite is particularly suited to photonics applications, including spectroscopy, microscopy, metrology, gravitational wave detection, active laser stabilization, and quantum computing.

Moku:Pro

Moku:Pro accelerates the transition from traditional fixed-function test and measurement hardware to a flexible field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based approach by making high-quality instruments accessible in an integrated, software-upgradeable platform.

“Quantum computing pushes the performance limits of electronics, optics, and flexible real-time signal processing. We see software-defined instrumentation as the future of test and measurement systems for quantum computing,” said Andrew Horsley, CEO and Co-founder of Quantum Brilliance, a full-stack quantum computing company working on room temperature diamond technology.  “Moku:Pro is a workhorse of the lab and one of the most versatile photonics tools we’ve seen.”

Bringing Instrumentation Into the Modern Era
Moku:Pro brings test and measurement into the modern age, allowing engineers and researchers to dynamically switch between instruments rather than needing multiple stand-alone devices.  Advanced ADC blending technology ensures that each instrument can function with optimal sensitivity from RF to acoustic frequencies without compromising performance for flexibility. Full connectivity via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and USB-C ensures industry-standard, hassle-free configuration.

A key benefit of software-defined instrumentation is that it gets better over time. Moku:Pro can receive over-the-air updates to deliver improved specifications, new instruments, or entirely new capabilities. Users can expect to see these benefits as soon as September when Liquid Instruments plans to release a feature that will give Moku:Pro the ability to run multiple instruments in conjunction with one another and hot-swap instruments in and out. In this multi-instrument mode, instruments can be combined and connected to form sophisticated signal-processing pipelines. Also slated for September release is a new cloud-based tool that will allow users to directly program Moku:Pro’s FPGA. With this capability, users can implement unique signal processing algorithms and create their own custom instruments, which will further widen the gap with conventional hardware.

Moku:Pro Specifications

  • 4 analog inputs and outputs
  • Blended ADC input (10-bit+18-bit) for low noise, high bandwidth applications
  • Sampling rate of 5 GSa/s (1 channel), 1.25 GSa/s (4 channels)
  • 9 integrated instruments, including a DC-600 MHz lock-in amplifier
  • 120 GB SSD for high-speed onboard storage
  • API support for Python and MATLAB
  • Starting at $12,000 for the base configuration, ranging up to $20,000 for the full suite.

A History of Success 
The Liquid Instruments technical leadership team brings deep expertise in complex measurements with experience from Australian National University, Max Planck Institute, Lockheed Martin, Caltech, and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.  Moku:Pro expands the line of software-defined solutions from Moku:Lab, a twelve-instrument platform for research, and, more recently, Moku:Go, a complete and portable lab solution for undergraduate education.

‫ڈومینیکا نے شہریت بذریعہ سرمایہ کاری فنڈز کا استعمال کرتے ہوئے نئے پرائمری اسکول کی تعمیر شروع کردی

لندن ، 22 جون ، 2021 / پی آر نیوز وائر / — حکومت ڈومینیکا نے مہاؤٹ پرائمری اسکول کی تعمیر کے آغاز کے موقع پر جزیرے میں حال ہی میں ایک تقریب کے انعقاد کے موقع پر تعلیم کے شعبے سے متعلق اپنے عزم کی تجدید کی ہے۔ تکمیل کے بعد ، اسکول  کی جانب سے مقامی بچوں کے لئے نئے مواقع  کے اعلان کی توقع کی جاتی ہےجبکہ اساتذہ اور انتظامیافراد کو ملازمتیں بھی فراہم کی جائیں گی۔ خاص طور پر ، اس منصوبے کو ڈومینیکا کی شہریت بذریہ  سرمایہ کاری (سی بی آئی) پروگرام کے ذریعے مالی تعاون فراہم کیا جائے گا۔ یہ جزیرے کے مختلف شعبوں میں قومی ترقیاتی اقدامات کو تعاون کی فراہمی کا ایک اہم ذریعہ ہے۔

پچھلے کچھ سالوں میں ، ڈومینیکا کے سی بی آئی پروگرام نے بیرون ملک طلبا کی تعلیم کی سرپرستی کرنے ، طلباء کے ساتھ ٹیوٹرز رکھنے اور 2017 میں سمندری طوفان ماریہ سے تباہ ہونے والے 15 اسکولوں کی بحالی کے لئے تقریبا 26 ملین ڈالر کی سرمایہ کاری کی ہے۔ پرائمری اسکول کی تقریب کے دوران وزیر اعظم روزویلٹ اسکیریٹ نے واضح کیا کہ ان کی حکومت جزیرے پر سیکنڈری تعلیم کو 100 فیصد قابل رسائی بنانے ، ڈومینیکا اسٹیٹ کالج کی تعمیر کرنے کی ذمہ دار ہے اور  اس بات کو یقینی بنا رہی ہے کہ یونیفارم اور نصابی کتب کے ساتھ ٹرانسپورٹ بھی باآسانیدستیاب ہو۔

وزیر برائے تعلیم ، آکٹویا الفریڈ نےکہا: “یہ حکومت طلباء ، اساتذہ اور انتظامیہ کے سکون کو یقینی بنانے کے لئے اپنے اسکول کے منصوبوں کی بہتری کے لئے بھاری سرمایہ کاری جاری رکھے گی۔ اساتذہ اور طلبہ کے لئے مناسب جگہ ، مناسب ہوا ، روشنی ، پانی ، بجلی اور انٹرنیٹ سروس جیسی تمام سہولیات سیکھنے کے ایک ماحول کی تشکیل میں معاون ہیں  جہاں طلبا ترقی کرسکیں۔ “

1993 میں بنایا گیا، ڈومینیکا کا سی بی آئی پروگرام ملک کی پائیدار ترقی کے لئے بہت اہمیت کا حامل رہا ہے۔ اس نے نہ صرف تعلیم میں اپنا کردار ادا کیا ہے ، بلکہ صحت سے متعلقاقدامات میں  بھی تعاون کیا ہے ، جن میں ایک جدید ترین اسپتال ، متعدد صحت مراکز ، سمندری طوفان سے محفوظ مکانات اور ماحول دوست ریزورٹس اور ولا زشامل ہیں۔ یہ امر جزیرے کے دنیا کی پہلی آب و ہوا سے مزاحمقوم بننے کے عزم کی تائید کرتاہے ، ایک ایسی کامیابی جس کا اعلان وزیر اعظم اسکیریٹ نے اقوام متحدہ میں 2017 میں کیا تھا۔

اپنے اور اپنے خاندان کے لئےایک محفوظ اور مستحکم منزل کے متلاشی سرمایہ کاروں کے لئے ، ڈومینیکا کا سی بی آئی پروگرام دوسری شہریت کے لئے ایک قابل اعتماد راستہ پیش کرتا ہے جسے سالانہ سی بی آئی انڈیکسجیسے  آزاد مطالعے نے بین الاقوامی سطح پر سراہا ہے۔ درخواست دہندگان کو جزیرے کا شہری بننے کے لئے ، اگر وہ ضروری حفاظتی چیک پاس کرلیتے  ہیں،صرف ملک کے اکنامک ڈائورسیفکیشن فنڈ میں معاشی شراکت کرنے یا پری-اَپرُووڈریئل اسٹیٹ خریدنے کی ضرورت ہے ۔

ایک بار شہری بننے کے بعد ، سرمایہ کار140 سے زائد مقامات ، متبادل کاروباری امکانات اور  ایک مستحکم جمہوریت میں دوسرے گھر تک اضافی سفری آزادی اور یونائیٹڈ اسٹیٹس اور یونائیٹڈ کنگڈم جیسے بڑے مراکز کے ساتھ تعلقات تک رسائی حاصل کرلیتے ہیں۔

Dominica Begins Construction on New Primary School Using Citizenship by Investment Funds

LONDON, June 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Government of Dominica is reaffirming its commitment to the education sector after a ceremony recently took place on the island to mark the beginning of the Mahaut Primary School construction. Once completed, the school is anticipated to herald new opportunities for local children while also providing jobs with teachers and administrators. Notably, the project will be funded by Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme – a vital tool in supporting national development initiatives across the island in various sectors.

Over the last few years, Dominica’s CBI Programme has invested roughly $26 million into sponsoring the education of students abroad, placing tutors with students and rehabilitating 15 schools that were devastated by Hurricane Maria in 2017. During the ceremony for the primary school, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit highlighted that his government was responsible for making secondary education on the island 100 percent accessible, building the Dominica State College and ensuring that transportation along with uniforms and textbooks were also freely available.

Octavia Alfred, the Minister for Education, noted: “This government continues to invest heavily in the improvement of our school plans to ensure the comfort of students, teachers and administrators. Spaces for teachers and students with proper ventilation, lighting, water, electricity, and internet service all contribute to the creation of a learning environment where students can flourish.”

Established in 1993, Dominica’s CBI Programme has been crucial to the nation’s sustainable development. Not only has it contributed to education, but it has also backed healthcare initiatives, including the construction of a state-of-the-art hospital, multiple health centres, hurricane-resistant homes and environmentally friendly resorts and villas. It supports the island’s commitment to becoming the world’s first climate-resilient nation, a feat announced by Prime Minister Skerrit at the United Nations in 2017.

For savvy investors looking for a safe and stable destination for themselves and their families, Dominica’s CBI Programme offers a trusted route to second citizenship that has been internationally hailed by independent studies like the annual CBI Index. Applicants need only make an economic contribution to the country’s Economic Diversification Fund or purchase pre-approved real estate to become citizens of the island – if they pass the necessary security checks.

Once becoming citizens, investors gain access to increased travel freedom to over 140 destinations, alternative business prospects and a second home in a stable democracy with ties to major hubs like the United States and the United Kingdom.

Centrient Pharmaceuticals boosting statins API manufacturing capacity

Rotterdam, The Netherlands, June 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

Summary:

  • Centrient Pharmaceuticals has started production at its newly built statins API manufacturing unit in Toansa, India.
  • With this expansion the company is doubling its production capacity of Atorvastatin and Rosuvastatin, meeting the increased demand for its high-quality uniquely produced statins.
  • Centrient Pharmaceuticals’ statins are one of the most sustainably produced in the industry by eliminating harmful solvents, generating less waste, and a reduced carbon footprint of 32% as compared to traditional manufacturers.
  • Using backward integrated manufacturing methods, and dedicated production facilities, Centrient Pharmaceuticals is able to offer its customers security of supply.

Centrient Pharmaceuticals (“Centrient”), the global leader in sustainable antibiotics, next-generation statins and anti-fungals, announced today to have started production at its new statins manufacturing unit. With the building of its second dedicated unit on the Toansa site in India now completed, the company will double its statins production capacity. This will enable Centrient to meet growing demand for its sustainably manufactured Atorvastatin and Rosuvastatin Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs).

Statins are currently the most prescribed drug class globally for the treatment of high cholesterol and cardiovascular diseases and are among the top-selling drugs worldwide. The markets for Atorvastatin and Rosuvastatin in particular, has shown steady growth in the past years, as a result of the continued global prevalence of high cholesterol issues, replacement of older generation statins, and genericization of the market.

Starting almost a decade ago, Centrient has grown today into one of the leading statin API suppliers worldwide, servicing large pharma companies around the globe.

Next to high-quality features like long shelf life and large batch sizes, the company offers security of supply to customers through its dedicated statins production facility and backward integration. Being backward integrated, Centrient is independent from external imports of starting materials. Its enzymatic route of synthesis and patented technology minimise the use of harmful solvents, generate less waste, and reduce the company’s carbon footprint by 32% as compared to traditional manufacturers.

The news of the facility expansion follows major milestones on statins that the company reached in the past years. In 2012, under the name of DSM Sinochem Pharmaceuticals, it was the first pharmaceutical manufacturer worldwide to offer generic Atorvastatin APIs under a Certificate of Suitability to the Monograph of the European Pharmacopoeia (CEP). Since 2014, it has produced the unique Atorvastatin APIs in its state-of-the-art facility in Toansa, India for third-party customers.

In addition, the company was one of the first three companies worldwide that started to offer generic Rosuvastatin APIs under CEP in 2016. Two years later, the first generic Rosuvastatin and Atorvastatin finished dosage forms were launched in Western Europe.

“With the doubling of our production capacity, we demonstrate our commitment to maintain our leadership position in line with our strategy and to continue supporting our customers’ business growth. Guided by our brand promise of Quality, Reliability, and Sustainability, Centrient’s Rosuvastatin and Atorvastatin offer superior performance in all three areas to the benefit of our customers and the environment.”, says Frans Vlaar, Chief Commercial Officer at Centrient.

Ground breaking of the new manufacturing unit started at the end of 2019 and commercial supplies from the new unit will start in mid-2021. With the new manufacturing line being operational and doubling the production capacity, Centrient will be even better positioned to secure supply, meeting the growing demand from customers and helping to improve the lives of patients who are in need of these medicine.

“We are extremely proud that we have been able to complete this project in a timely way given the challenges of executing such a complex project in the midst of the COVID pandemic,” says Jim McPherson, Chief Quality & Technical Operations Officer. “It reinforces our absolute commitment to meet the expectations of our customers as a partner of choice – delivering reliable and secure supply using leading sustainable technologies. The facility incorporates design features that allow further improvements in GMP and energy utilization, and enable greater automation for improved process control.”

The 2021 SCO International Round Table was held in Lianyungang, Jiangsu

LIANYUNGANG, China, June 19, 2021 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/– On the afternoon of June 18, the 2021 Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)  International Round Table was successfully held in Lianyungang city, Jiangsu  province. The conference was co-hosted by the Secretariat of the SCO and  Lianyungang Municipal People’s Government, with the theme of “enhancing international cooperation in economy and trade, and promoting facilitation in merchandise exports and imports among SCO member states”.

The SCO Secretariat and relevant officials from SCO member states, observer countries, and dialogue partner countries participated in the meeting in the form of “online + offline”. The meeting was chaired by Fang Wei, the Mayor of Lianyungang city. Vladimir Norov, Secretary-General of the SCO Secretariat, Hui Jianlin, Deputy Governor of Jiangsu Province, and Xiang Xuelong, Secretary of the CPC Lianyungang Municipal Committee delivered speeches.

As a strong fulcrum for the Belt and Road intersection and the important node city in the New Eurasian Continental Bridge Economic Corridor, Lianyungang assumes the role of a two-way opening window and a sea-land conversion hub. In recent years, with the vigorous economic development of the SCO countries and the in-depth implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, Lianyungang is making every effort to build the SCO overseas base and the China-Kazakhstan logistics cooperation base. The cooperation effects and demonstration effects achieved caused widespread concern.

On the basis of the cooperation results of the first SCO Round Table, using the SCO’s actual needs and long-term development of international industrial cooperation and special product trade as entry point, this year’s meeting aims at new trends and explores new ideas, new countermeasures, and constructs the international logistics cooperation relationship of mutual respect, mutual support, and win-win cooperation.

Participants affirmed the important contribution of Lianyungang in the SCO member states in fighting the COVID-19 and coping with its negative impact, and noted the huge development potential of port of Lianyungang, and believed that the urban logistics and industrial clusters should be used more actively. It is to strengthen the multilateral cooperation and exchanges in the SCO Free Trade Zone, and develop cooperation in the transportation, transshipment and processing of transnational goods under the framework of the national strategy and the Belt and Road Initiative.
