TOKYO, Feb 10, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Showa Denko K.K. (SDK; TSE:4004) has demonstrated that it is possible to dramatically speed up the time required to search for optimal formulations of semiconductor materials, from several decades to several tens of seconds, using quantum computing technology.
Semiconductor materials contain a large number of ingredients such as resins, fillers and additives in various mixing ratios; by optimizing these formulations high-performance materials are obtained. However, the theoretical number of combinations for the development theme that we are working on is enormous, exceeding 10 to the 50th power. Thus, it would take decades to explore all possible combinations of these ingredients and their mixing ratios with conventional artificial intelligence (AI) models, and for this reason only a portion of the theoretical combinations had been extracted to search for the optimal combination of formulations.

To reduce the time required for the exploration, we focused on Fujitsu Ltd's Digital Annealer(1), the first quantum-inspired digital technology(2). In order to utilize Digital Annealer, input in the form of an Ising model(3), an analysis method of statistical mechanics, is required. We were successful in expressing an originally developed AI model, capable of predicting the characteristics of semiconductor materials from the complex compounding conditions of materials, in the Ising model. By simulating the Ising model on Digital Annealer, we have reduced the required exploration time to tens of seconds, or about 1/72,000 of the time required by conventional AI models, which search by conditions limiting the type and amount of compounding. In addition, we were able to obtain a formula that achieves 30% higher performance as a semiconductor material.

In our "Long-term Vision for Newly Integrated Company," the Showa Denko Group announced that it would commit itself to the research and development of AI and computational science, the core of its fundamental R&D activities. The results of this development are an example of the achievements of R&D activities based on the application of "Chemistry to Think" and "Chemistry to Formulate," both of which the Group has defined as basic frameworks for technological development. The Group will apply this development to various materials, accelerate its development activities, and provide customers with solutions for problems, thereby contributing to a sustainable society.

(1) Digital Annealer: Domain specific architecture (basic computer design consisting of memory and computing circuits) specialized in solving computationally intensive combinatorial optimization problems. (https://www.fujitsu.com/global/services/business-services/digital-annealer/)
(2) Quantum-inspired computing technology: High-performance computing technology inspired by quantum technology, though not directly using quantum effects.
(3) Ising model: A statistical mechanical model for describing the behavior of spins in magnetic materials. The model describes the macroscopic magnetization of a magnetic material by considering the interaction between the spins and the coupling to the external magnetic field. The model is applied to a wide range of research areas, including combinatorial optimization problems.

In such a huge market, well-designed and equipped games like Secret World

Game Overview

To reach the high table, players must have premium values. These values act as a wild entry to the high table. Only then you are eligible for the prestegious High table. "I have served. I will be of service."

—The High Table's oath of fealty

The members of the high table have myriad luxuries in the game. They have access to luxury hotels, designer clothing, libraries and elite memberships. It is up to the members then, how they choose to use their premium facilities to achieve their goals.

We look forward to good strategies by our high level players. 

“Secret world is a decentral tokenized VR secret society powered by Binance smart chain network.”

#Play

Secret World was created using Unreal Engine 4.26. The battles take place in a simulation written entirely in C++ that executes game instances in less than a few milliseconds. This is then connected to Unreal Engine and visualized. The simulation is deterministic, which means that the server can save very small input values and replay any match. Secret world will be able to easily archive every battle that has ever been fought.

Payment & reward mechanism

The individuals that chose to play secret worlds must already possess a metamask wallet prior hand. 

Once the user possesses a metamask wallet, he/she will have to convert their digital currency in $SSD, which is the native currency on a secret world platform. All transactions on this platform are made in $SSD. 

Moreover, rewards are also made in $SSD and the liquidity mining program also accepts only the native currency of the platform for liquidity pools.

SSD Vision & Mission

Our mission and vision is to revolutionize blockchain gaming while keeping the true essence of PVE games alive. The secret world game is inspired by the presence of secret societies operational in different areas of the world. It is an attempt to bring new gaming technologies into our old games to strike the right balance of innovation and nostalgia. We aim to transform the Secret world into an ecosystem. This platform is not limited to NFT and tokens. We aim to provide entertainment and a fun way to learn and earn in the crypto space. The secret world is the future of the Metaverse.

TOKYO, Feb 9, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - Showa Denko (SDK; TSE:4004) announces that it revises its forecast of consolidated business results for the full year ending on December 31, 2021, which was announced on August 3, 2021.

1. Revision of forecast of consolidated business results for January 1 - December 31, 2021

(1) Revised forecast of consolidated business results for January 1 - December 31, 2021
https://www.acnnewswire.com/docs/Multimedia/Low_SDK202202.jpg

(2) Reasons for the revision

Net sales hovers around the level of the previous forecast. However, operating income is expected to slightly increase. Ordinary income is also expected to increase by about 4.5 billion yen due to an increase in foreign exchange gain and a slight increase in equity in earnings of affiliates. In addition, an extraordinary loss of about 8.5 billion yen, which was once expected to incur in the year ending on December 31, 2021 as a cost of business structure improvement in the Showa Denko Materials segment, is now expected to incur in 2022. As a result, net income attributable to owners of the parent is expected to increase by about 13 billion yen from that in the previous forecast.

With regard to the dividend, we maintain our expectation that the Company will pay 65 yen per share as year-end dividend.
