TAIPEI, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — LILIN’s motto, "We create, we innovate." has received outstanding validation as we enter 2024.

LILIN IMU Shock-proof Camera Honored with Taiwan Excellence 2024

LILIN’s self-developed vibration-resistant 4K license plate recognition camera has been chosen as a 2024 Taiwan Excellence winner! This marks the second international award following the ISC West Award in 2023.

This product is unique in the market, featuring 4K resolution, AI capabilities, and IMU vibration resistance while automatically tracking objects. It finds typical applications in land-based vehicles. For instance, when a police car is in motion, vibrations can affect image clarity. IMU Camera, with its hardware and software anti-vibration features, maintains and preserves a clear 4K high-resolution image. Not only performs license plate recognition directly on the camera but also integrates with backend applications (such as law enforcement systems) without needing an additional host, making technology-driven law enforcement more flexible and efficient.

Conventional license plate recognition cameras in the market lack vibration resistance, resulting in blurry images that affect recognition results. Additionally, they require an external computer host for such heavy tasks. LILIN’s IMU anti-vibration camera operates independently and individually complete image recording, license plate recognition, and backend data integration without a computer. This reduces the complexity of maintenance and deployment, minimizes potential failure factors, and helps operating units manage costs more effectively.

Apart from identifying general and special license plates of various countries and colors, this camera is compatible with LILIN’s "Self Yolo" model conversion. Users can upload their AI object models to the camera to recognize different object types, such as pedestrians, expanding the camera’s application range. Beyond recognition, another exceptional feature of this camera is "behavior detection." Which distinguish actions such as running red lights, not yielding to pedestrians, and making illegal right turns.

LILIN is committed to applying its products to meet actual market demands. The solutions have gained recognition from industry, government, and academia. Global partners highly trust them, and LILIN receives a high level of product inquiries.

"LILIN rarely makes ‘sudden’ decisions, whether product development or competition participation. Our determinations are based on market trends and countless customer feedback," emphasized Hsu Cheng-Chung, General Manager of LILIN. He added, "Being selected as a Taiwan Excellence winner highlights our determination to operate in the global market aggressively and actively."

BUDAPEST, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — On October 26 and 30, the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders held the "World Memory, Peaceful Vision – Exhibition on the Historical Facts of the Nanjing Massacre" in Madrid, Spain and Budapest, Hungary. This exhibition, expressing a collective human voice for peace, unveiled itself to the Spanish public.

Former Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Medgyessy gave a speech.

In the 1930s, the world was gradually enveloped by the shadows of the World War II. Both Spain and China had undergone arduous struggles against fascism. In that year, Durango and Guernica in Spain suffered devastating attacks by the Nazi German, while Nanjing in China faced "indiscriminate bombings" by the Japanese army. On December 13 of 1937, the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, committing atrocities including a six-week massacre, looting, sexual violence, and destruction. These actions resulted in the death of over 300,000 Chinese people. The killing competition carried out by the Japanese army in Nanjing was exposed to the world by Spain’s "El Diluvio" newspaper.

On May 16, 1938, the American magazine "Life" featured a famous cover, showcasing a young and fearless Chinese soldier captured by the renowned Hungarian photographer Robert Capa in Hankou, China. Robert Capa arrived in China in 1938 and documented the Chinese resistance against the Japanese invasion and the wartime lives of the people, bringing international attention to the Chinese battlefield.

This exhibition, with the theme "World Memory and Peaceful Vision", consists of three parts: "The Calamity in Nanjing", "Justice Trial", and "The City of Peace", narrating the historical facts of the Japanese army’s atrocities in Nanjing and the international tribunal’s prosecution of Japanese war criminals. It showcases the peaceful development of Nanjing as an "International City of Peace" and conveys the Chinese people’s aspirations to remember history, cherish peace, and create a better future to the international community.

Former Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Medgyessy said in his speech: "Such an exhibition allows young people to learn about peace and living together. I would like to express my gratitude to the Chinese government and the historical exhibition for coming here and showing it to us."

More than 80 people attended the opening ceremony, including Mr. Zhou Feng, Director of the Memorial Hall; He Yong, Minister-counselor for Cultural Affairs of the Chinese Embassy in Spain; Marcelo Munoz, Honorary Chairman of the Spanish Confucius Institute; and representatives of various sectors in Spain and the media.

Zhou Feng said, "War is like a mirror, allowing people to better understand the value of peace. The theme of this exhibition aims to rekindle people’s yearning and commitment to peace through the memory of history. We hope that this exhibition can help the people of Spain understand the vision of the Chinese people in building a community with a shared future for humankind and connect the historical memories and common future of the people of China and Spain."

Marcelo Munoz, Honorary Chairman and Founder of the Catedra China, stated in his speech, "China made significant sacrifices and contributions to the world’s victory against fascism. While commemorating the end of World War II, we have neglected the deep suffering brought by this war in Asia as well. I hope to do my best to eliminate this historical injustice and pay tribute to the millions of Asian victims, especially the victims of the Nanjing Massacre."

On October 9, 2015, the Nanjing Massacre Archives were included in the UNESCO Memory of the World. To date, the Memorial Hall has organized exhibitions in cities such as Los Angeles in the United States, Moscow in Russia, Florence in Italy, Manila in the Philippines, Chateaubriant in France, Minsk in Belarus, Prague in the Czech Republic, Aarhus in Denmark, and more.

Combining breath-taking performances with a touch of humour "UBS Presents The World Circus" will include the following acts:

Wheel of Thrill by the Gerling Brothers (Columbia)
It takes nerves of steel to walk the wheel. Two artistes perform jumps, flips and blindfolded walks both inside and outside of the wheel. No tethers, no safety lines, this is an act that will have you on the edge of your seat.

Gomonov Knife Throwing Show (Belarus)
Prepare to be stunned by this duo knife throwing act from Belarus, Andrei and Daria, who will throw knives at each other. A combination of trust and timing, this act was featured as a finalist on Britain’s Got Talent.

The Afumani Warriors – Acrobatics and Flying Saddles (Kenya)
The six-strong troupe perform acrobatics, pyramid building and limbo. Gandeys Circus recently introduced the Flying Saddles back in 2019 where a rotating frame is winched around the ring which is taken up and down while our skilled artistes perform equestrian tricks on and off Saddleback. A traditional horse act updated for an animal-free environment.

Motorbike on a High-Wire (Kazakhstan) 
Watch in awe as a fearless rider from Kazakhstan balances on a thin wire high above the ground, while speeding on a motorcycle. This is a stunt that defies gravity and logic. You’ll be on the edge of your seat.

Chico Rico The Clown (Costa Rica)
Gandeys award winning clown is back after the success of his previous appearance. His audience participation is second to none, hence his popularity across South America, Europe and Asia.

Motorcycles in Globe (Columbia)
One of the most thrilling acts in Circus today. The riders enter the globe and literally take their lives into their hands as they experience 3.5 – 5.5gs as they cross the surface of the metal mesh globe. Using lightweight bikes with high torques so that they can achieve speeds of 40 miles an hour allowing them to complete loops within the sphere.

Flying Trapeze (Kazakhstan)
One of the best loved and well-known acts in circus is presented in Hong Kong for the first time by Award Winners of Echo of Asia International Circus Festival – the Baikonur Flying Troupe. This 6-handed flying troupe will fly through the air performing edge-of-the-seat somersaults from both the fly bar to the catcher, and to a suspended cradle high in the air of the Big Top.
