SAFR® from RealNetworks Awarded its Third Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Contract from the United States Air Force (USAF)

Seattle, WA, April 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SAFR from RealNetworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: RNWK), a face recognition and visual analytics platform specializing in computer vision optimized for real–world challenges, announced it was awarded its third Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract. This contract enables SAFR to advance its computer vision platform to support perimeter protection and domestic search and rescue missions.

The SBIR contract allows SAFR to enhance its platform to run on an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier based UGV system. The addition of SAFR's AI–powered analytics on autonomous and semi–autonomous robotic devices provides a force multiplier and a layer of safety for defense and civilian security and emergency services personnel.

"As a USAF military working dog handler, I have employed canines in various environments fulfilling the multi–use role of detection and deterrence. The ability to utilize UGV systems to augment K9 teams during work/rest cycles, or as an additional force, broadens security in–depth and allows operations to continue unhindered," said Air Force Tech. Sgt. Dustin Cain, Non–Commissioned Officer in Charge of Police Services, 366th Security Forces Squadron, Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho.

SAFR's focus is to reduce the risk service members face in their daily duties by allowing SAFR–enhanced UGVs to perform perimeter patrols and monitor contested environments. The UGV platform will recognize when unauthorized persons are present in restricted areas. SAFR's solution is being extended to operate onboard UGV devices and produce patrol reports with positional data upon completion of patrol duties. Critical events can trigger a real–time alert based on mission requirements.

In high–risk scenarios involving search and rescue missions, such as searching collapsed and unstable buildings for survivors following an earthquake, the robotic device could locate persons using SAFR's body detection capabilities, providing real–time alerts and access route details to speed up extraction "" greatly reducing the risk for responders. Currently, no other UGV has advanced detection and analytic capabilities integrated for military and civilian EMS use.

SAFR can operate entirely on the UGV, providing post–patrol reports in network denied environments. Alternately in degraded or persistent network environments, a SAFR equipped UGV could stream intel in real–time as it develops or provide burst transmission when appropriate.

"We see this as an incredible opportunity to demonstrate how AI is a force multiplier and can be used to reduce risk to security forces and emergency responders," said Eric Hess, Senior Product Manager at SAFR. "The UGV platform equipped with SAFR AI represents the future of embedded device operations and computer vision for an emerging range of robotic systems."

Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. Announces LOI for the Acquisition of Bohemian Beverage Co.

SAN DIEGO, April 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via InvestorWire — Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: GRYN) (“Green Hygienics” or the “Company”), a company focused on the high standard cultivation and processing of industrial hemp and manufacturing of pharmaceutical–grade bioactive cannabinoids, is very excited to announce it has entered into a letter of intent (the “LOI”) to acquire Bohemian Beverage Co.

Bohemian Beverage Co. is a profitable, revenue–generating entity with an extraordinary brand portfolio of more than 20 unique beverage brands, including CBD–infused teas, ginger ale, beers, ciders, cocktails and more, which are directly distributed and sold through the company's own subsidiary storefront. The company was also the very first brewery, cidery, distillery and manufacturer of CBD beverages in the state of Virginia. By creating stylish, youthful, sexy branding, promoted by skillful marketing through social media and successful event planning, they have sustained interaction, engagement and participation from their target market.

The current demand for Bohemian Beverage Co. products is outpacing the current production capabilities. To meet the growth, the next step in their expansion is to build a state–of–the–art production facility that has the capability and licencing to produce beer, distilled spirits, cider, wine, CBD–infused and nonalcoholic beverages. This serves to leverage both existing and new distribution networks to grow current brands and expand upon brands in development. As part of this transaction, Green Hygienics will invest in the construction of a larger bottling facility, "The Grove Brewery," that is combined with a farmers' market on a 5–acre land parcel ideally situated on Portsmouth Boulevard in Chesapeake, Virginia. Virginia became the first Southern state to legalize marijuana just two weeks ago, as lawmakers voted to approve Gov. Ralph Northam's proposed changes to a bill that will allow adult cannabis use starting in July 2021.

"The beverage sector is very competitive and there is a steep learning curve. This strategic acquisition will allow us to enter the CBD–infused drink market supported by expertise and existing distribution while mitigating risk, and more significantly will bring immediate revenue and hard assets to our financials. When you compare this brand portfolio to any of the large marketers in the space, it quickly becomes evident what extraordinary potential exists in this opportunity," stated Ron Loudoun, CEO of Green Hygienics. "Consider the margins in this business model where you create, manufacture, retail (at your own facility) and distribute, as well! We are very excited about entering this lucrative market and launching our beverage division in such a sensible manner. Green Hygienics can provide a strategic advantage in the marketplace by introducing novel cannabinoids and targeted bio–delivery technologies to the formulations. The Bohemian Beverage Co. team has laid the foundation for something fantastic. We look forward to working with them and taking this to the next level."

About Bohemian Beverage Co.

We brew and we brand, and we're socially unconventional. Bohemian Beverage Co. is a beer and libations think tank and hatchery. We produce our own industry–disrupting potables while lending our brewing and branding services to like–minded creators. We're fueled by the beverage market's constant innovation.

Conagen’s Novel Solution to Making Natural Capsaicin by Fermentation Accessible

Bedford, Mass., April 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Scalable, sustainable capsaicin ingredients for its use in food, consumer and industrial products have now become more accessible. Conagen announced it has successfully scaled–up its fermentation process for the production of premium capsaicin and its related capsaicinoid molecules.

Chili peppers are widely used as a food additive in spicy and hot cuisines, due to its hot and pungent characteristics. Consumers globally are demanding more clean, natural and exciting flavors, especially hot and spicy flavors.

Yet, the challenge in meeting this demand is that capsaicin from chili peppers is difficult to use because of its hot properties, proposing challenges to manufacturers. Capsaicin extraction is limited by the availability of chili peppers, which is subject to fluctuations in price and quality.

The market for capsaicin is growing because of its pungent characteristic, which is very versatile in a broad spectrum of applications, including food, cosmetic, personal care, pharmaceutical and medical. In industrial applications, such as anti–fouling paint for boats and ships, capsaicin has the potential to replace heavy metals.

"The successful scale–up of our fermentation process for capsaicinoids is a good example of Conagen's innovative advancements in gene discovery, strain engineering and process development and optimization," said Dr. Casey Lippmeier, vice president of innovation at Conagen. "The complimentary addition of capsaicinoids to our product portfolio enhances our motivation to meet consumers' demand for sustainable, nature–based, and clean ingredients."

Two major capsaicinoids, capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin are responsible for roughly up to 90% of the pungency in chili pepper.

Yet, another capsaicinoid, nonivamide, also known as Pelargonic Acid Vanillylamide, (PAVA) is found in small, trace amounts in hot peppers. It is an alternative to capsaicin for its hot sensation and spicy flavoring. Nonivamide is typically used in topical muscle pain relievers and synthetic pepper spray, respectfully.

Due to the extremely low content of nonivamide in hot peppers, and the large demand, current plant extraction methods are not commercially viable. Thus, nonivamide has exclusively been made by chemical synthesis. Although chemically synthesized nonivamide is readily available, consumers are adopting clean and natural products.

Providing a solution to global capsaicin shortages, Conagen has identified several key genes in the capsaicin biosynthetic pathway in hot peppers and has demonstrated proof–of–concepts for the production of capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, and nonivamide. Several patents have been granted to Conagen for microbial production of capsaicinoids.

As a result of the demand for a natural, low cost–in–use solution, Conagen has successfully optimized and scaled–up its fermentation process for the production of capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, and nonivamide.

TigerGraph Continues to Drive Graph Analytics and AI Market Momentum, Unveils TigerGraph Cloud on Google Cloud Platform and Expanded Global Developer Community

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TigerGraph, provider of the leading graph analytics platform, today announced that the company continues to accelerate the adoption, application, and use of graph analytics on the cloud with broadened support across all cloud providers. TigerGraph Cloud is accessible with Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and now, GCP. The company also announced connectors for Snowflake and Tableau, meaning users can access relationship analytics directly from their Snowflake and Tableau dashboards; valuable data insights are now just a few clicks away. TigerGraph made these announcements and shared details about its growing global developer community and more at Graph + AI Summit 2021, the industry's only open conference devoted to accelerating analytics, AI, and machine learning with graph algorithms.

"AI augmentation will create nearly $3 trillion in business value in 2021, with graph being recognized as a foundational capability within today's organizations," said Dr. Yu Xu, founder and CEO of TigerGraph. "Businesses have struggled to capitalize on AI because it requires contextual awareness and an understanding of the data across multiple entities. Graph technologies can answer these critical business questions in minutes, where it takes weeks with other data management systems. Our vision behind hosting Graph + AI is to unite the ecosystem, and we're seeing more of these attendees this year. The fact that there is a 200% increase in Graph + AI Summit registrants "" just six months after the first Graph + AI World event "" speaks to the ever–increasing appetite for graph among today's forward–looking companies."

Expanded Product Functionality

TigerGraph has expanded its product functionality with new TigerGraph Cloud support for Google Cloud Platform workloads. Just two months after announcing a $105 million Series C funding round, the largest funding round to date within the graph database and analytics market, TigerGraph Cloud is now the only distributed graph database–as–a–service available on all three major cloud platforms "" AWS, Azure, and GCP.

TigerGraph's distributed native graph architecture helps organizations scale fast and analyze many different aspects of data to form new models and generate new insights. TigerGraph Cloud users can:

  • Use TigerGraph Cloud for free using free tier instances
  • Preserve their investment in a graph platform that is designed to scale as their business grows
  • Choose their preferred cloud platform for graph workloads (no vendor lock–in)
  • Buy TigerGraph Cloud credits for additional discounts and pay using their pre–paid or committed spend on GCP
  • Connect their TigerGraph platform with other data services and applications, including Kafka, Spark, Snowflake, Tableau, SageMaker, and developer services including Python (PyTigerGraph)
  • Build analytics or machine learning applications with industry use case library of 20+ starter kits with pre–built schema, sample dataset, and queries for all major use cases including fraud, anti–money laundering, entity resolution, customer 360, recommendation, knowledge graph, cybersecurity, network analysis, influencer detection, and others

As transactional and analytical workloads move to the cloud, TigerGraph has become the graph database of choice to connect, analyze, and learn new insights from data. The company's release of new connectors for Snowflake and Tableau (Salesforce) make it even easier for companies to integrate TigerGraph with both upstream and downstream data services. Connector capabilities include:

  • TigerGraph's Snowflake connector, which simplifies and speeds up data transfer from Snowflake data warehouse to TigerGraph
  • Dedicated drivers for Tableau and Microsoft Power BI provide users with a rich capability for no–code analytics and visual dashboarding
  • Standard JDBC and ODBC database connectors provide the foundation for a wealth of integrations

Expanded Global Developer Community

In addition to extending its product capabilities, TigerGraph is listening to its developer community by rolling out new support and services. TigerGraph's Developer Community is a global network for developers that fosters a collaborative, supportive, and developer–centric environment. Developers are invited to join a virtual ecosystem located on TigerGraph's website (community.tigergraph.com) where they can share information, ask questions, and collaborate with developers at all skill levels. While other technology companies rely on their users to share troubleshooting information in their communities, TigerGraph is actively engaged with its product team to interactively answer questions. This ongoing effort is led by TigerGraph's manager of developer relations and liaison to the product team, Jon Herke.

TigerGraph enables developers to work in a team–like environment rather than troubleshooting issues alone without resources. Developers can share the courses they created, hackathon entries, blogs they are writing, and ask general questions about using TigerGraph. Herke runs a daily session on digital distribution platform Discord where developers ask impromptu questions, discuss clever solutions, or simply chat. In fact, other companies and products have replicated TigerGraph's Discord Community due to its success in attracting and maintaining a lively, active developer community.

If you would like to be immersed in the latest TigerGraph ecosystem activities, join the developer relations team on TigerGraph Discord (Developer) Community every weekday at 8:15 a.m. CST to listen in or become active in current open–source efforts including:

  • tgcloud–jupyter – a JupyterLab extension allowing data scientists to interact with TigerGraph services while staying in their data science environments
  • TG–RASA–Pipeline – a data pipeline tool that connects TigerGraph to RASA (chatbot platform) allowing RASA users to have knowledge graph machine learning pipelines
  • pyTigerGraph – a Python connector to TigerGraph allowing users to integrate TigerGraph into their data science workflows or operational services
  • TigerFlow – a flow–based (low to no–code) data pipelining orchestration tool that enables users to drag and drop nodes onto a canvas allowing them to quickly set up data flow that streams into TigerGraph

Expanded Developer Community Event Participation

The strength of TigerGraph's community is on full display at Graph + AI Summit 2021, which features 40+ sessions, live workshops, and speakers from JPMorgan Chase, NewDay, Pinterest, Jaguar Land Rover, and more. The virtual conference, April 21–23, features keynotes, speakers, real–world customer case studies, and hands–on workshops for data, analytics, and AI professionals.

TigerGraph's Graph + AI Summit Web App Hackathon attracted 200 developers from over 30 countries. Participants used one of TigerGraph's 20+ Cloud Starter Kits to design innovative web application solutions on top of TigerGraph Cloud. TigerGraph teamed up with industry leading partners Streamlit (UI dashboarding solution for data scientists), Graphistry (Graph visualization product), and Galvanize (education training company). The winners, both women, will be presenting their projects at Graph + AI Summit: Linxiu Jiang and Qi Chen created Graph Shortest Path & Centrality based on "Airport Dataset: Explore the Graph and Network Analysis for Airports Around the World." TigerGraph's Web App Hackathon developer participants have remained actively involved with the TigerGraph Developer Community even after contest results were announced.

New "Graph–Powered Analytics and Machine Learning with TigerGraph" Book

TigerGraph is also announcing the early–release version of its O'Reilly book, "Graph–Powered Analytics and Machine Learning with TigerGraph." This practical guide shows data scientists, data engineers, architects, and business analysts how to get started with a graph database using TigerGraph.

The early–release version includes multiple chapters with hands–on exercises that will teach readers how to combine machine learning with graph. Readers can run the exercises on TigerGraph Cloud free tier and other free tools. Readers will also receive additional chapters throughout 2021.
