TOKYO, Nov 5, 2020 - (JCN Newswire) - NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701) today announced its selection by NTT DOCOMO, Inc. as a vendor of a 5G mobile core network (5GC) compatible with Standalone (SA) 5G that NTT DOCOMO plans to launch in 2021. NEC 5GC Use CaseContribution to NTT DOCOMO's core networkIn addition to the 5GC, NEC will provide a compact user data processor, the "UPF mini"(1), as part of driving further development of NTT DOCOMO's SA 5G, and meeting the diverse network needs of the 5G era, including support for 5G features such as enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC), and Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC).This SA 5GC features flexible operations, enabled by the adoption of container technology(1), in addition to the virtualization adopted by virtualized Evolved Packet Core (vEPC). Moreover, the SA 5GC enables the provision of sliced networks that are ideal for the various services that take advantage of 5G features, while also improving scalability. This SA 5GC is also provided in the cloud, as NEC promotes its expansion into the global market. In addition, the UPF mini data processor is smaller and saves more power than conventional models, which increases flexibility in terms of where the unit can be installed. In order to achieve ultra-low latency, which is a key feature of 5G, it is necessary to reduce the latency of the entire network configuration, including the wired section and the wireless section between the base station and the user terminal. Placing the UPF mini in wired sections and shortening the physical distance to the application server enables Multi Access Edge Computing (MEC)(2) to be implemented, which reduces the overall processing time, thereby contributing to the expansion of the ultra-low latency service area. NEC already provides NTT DOCOMO with core networking vEPC for LTE. The 5G service launched by NTT DOCOMO in March 2020, uses an extension of this vEPC and operates as a Non-standalone (NSA) core network. NEC also provides base stations and 5G radio base stations for LTE. Together with this core network, NEC will provide total support for NTT DOCOMO's 5G services and will contribute to the expansion of next-generation network services."This 5GC allows us to build a 5G core network that can flexibly accommodate a wide variety of needs and use cases," explained Naoki Tani, Executive General Manager, R&D Innovation Division, NTT DOCOMO, while explaining the selection of NEC's 5GC and UPF mini. "Going forward, NTT DOCOMO will continue to provide state-of-the-art functions together with NEC and other partners in order to promote further advances in 5G networks.""We are honored to be selected by NTT DOCOMO as a 5G core network vendor," said Atsuo Kawamura, Executive Vice President, Network Services Business Unit, NEC. "We look forward to providing high-quality and reliable 5GC in addition to the core network devices and radios we have already provided for NTT DOCOMO's 4G network. NEC will continue to support NTT DOCOMO's expansion of 5G services and contributing to the further development of next-generation mobile infrastructure, both domestically and across global markets."(1) Technology that enabbles a virtual operating environment with less computer resources by building an application execution environment isolated from other processes on the OS (operating system).(2) Technology that enables low latency and decentralized processing by installing an edge server near the user and communicating with the application there.About NEC CorporationNEC Corporation has established itself as a leader in the integration of IT and network technologies while promoting the brand statement of "Orchestrating a brighter world." NEC enables businesses and communities to adapt to rapid changes taking place in both society and the market as it provides for the social values of safety, security, fairness and efficiency to promote a more sustainable world where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential.

TOKYO, Nov 4, 2020 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has completed construction of a new factory for aircraft engine components at its Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery Works. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Aero Engines, Ltd. (MHIAEL), which handles the aero engine business of MHI Group, began operations at the facility in November 2020 as its Nagasaki Plant, and is gradually expanding production. The factory will mainly manufacture engine components for short and medium range commercial aircraft, with further expansion planned to grow as a new facility for the aero engine business once aircraft demand resumes following recovery from the coronavirus crisis.New MHIAEL Nagasaki Plant and Opening ceremonyThis new factory, part of the redevelopment of the Nagasaki area, plays a role as a production center that takes over MHI's history of manufacturing, extending "From the Past - To the Present - To the Future." The opening ceremony, held at the factory site on November 4, was attended by such distinguished guests as Kenzo Yoneda, Director of the Kyushu Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry, as well as Nagasaki Governor Hodo Nakamura, and Nagasaki Mayor Tomihisa Taue. Senior Fellow Kunio Shiiba, Head of Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery Works, represented MHI Group.The newly completed factory occupies the former site of the Propeller Factory (Ship Propeller Factory) adjacent to the Nagasaki Shipyard Museum (formerly the Pattern Shop), which has been registered as a World Heritage Site. The plant has fully integrated production lines for combustor components, from receiving of raw materials to machining and assembly. To achieve the high degree of precision and quality required for aircraft engine components, MHIAEL is introducing automation and labor-saving technologies such as cutting-edge machine tools, and automated conveyance and tool changing systems. The company is also actively utilizing IoT (Internet of Things), AI (Artificial Intelligence), and other technologies cultivated at its main mother factory to ensure an aircraft engine components factory with world-class productivity and efficiency.As a result of the closure of borders and restrictions on movement imposed in the wake of the global coronavirus pandemic, overall demand in the airline industry has declined sharply. However, demand for the types of short and medium range commercial aircraft used mainly on domestic routes is expected to recovery relatively quickly. The Nagasaki Plant is manufacturing combustors for the PW1100G-JM engine that powers the Airbus A320neo, including replacement demand for overhauls. MHI has not made any significant changes to its production plan as a result of the coronavirus crisis, and expects to expand production going forward. The opening of this cutting-edge factory as scheduled will strengthen both in-house manufacturing capabilities and cost competitiveness, as well as establish a structure able to accurately meet the industry's needs.MHI Group, despite the coronavirus crisis, is expanding its business and production structure in anticipation of an increase in long-term demand for commercial aircraft engines worldwide. This new factory construction project is a part of this effort. MHI Group is also working to expand its aero engine MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) business, with preparations steadily moving forward to add new engine type to its aero engine MRO services business portfolio at MHIAEL's head office plant in Aichi Prefecture.Going forward, MHI will work in close cooperation with MHIAEL to enhance technological capabilities and reliability for the development, manufacture, and after-sales service of aero engines, as well as expand production capabilities, and contribute to the advancement of Japan's aircraft industry.

TOKYO, Nov 4, 2020 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) Group, has completed installation of the first unit of an LNG (liquefied natural gas) fuel gas supply system (FGSS) for marine dual fuel engines, delivered in November last year, on the pure car carrier (PCC) built by Shin Kurushima Toyohashi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. The first LNG-fueled PCC built in Japan was delivered to Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha on October 28, 2020, and has entered service. During the construction period after the delivery of the FGSS, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding maintained close cooperation with the shipyard and supported the successful delivery of the ship by conducting various adjustments and commissioning of the FGSS.LNG-fueled PCC "SAKURA LEADER"FGSS moduleMitsubishi Shipbuilding supported the shipyard by providing the relevant engineering services and technical support relating to the gas handling of the LNG-fueled PCC, as well as dispatching highly experienced engineers for a part of installation work and the gas testing. Engineers were also dispatched last month during the LNG fueling, the first ship-to-ship bunkering in Japan. The same FGSS system is currently being manufactured for a second PCC, and is to be delivered next year as scheduled.The ship has been designated by Japan's Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) as a model project to reduce CO2 emissions by using alternative fuel, and demonstrate substantial CO2 emission reduction technology during actual operation. The FGSS is expected to greatly contribute to the environmental performance of the ship not only by meeting the SOx (sulfur oxide) emission regulations implemented globally in 2020, but also by improving the energy efficiency (CO2 emissions per unit of transportation) of the ship by approximately 40%, far exceeding the International Maritime Organization (IMO) EEDI Phase 3 requirements(Note) that will come into effect in 2025.The FGSS is an LNG fuel gas supply system developed by Mitsubishi Shipbuilding utilizing LNG and vaporized gas handling technology accumulated through its extensive experience with the construction of LNG carriers and has been verified for marine use based on experience in marine engine test facilities at engine manufacturers. The system comprises LNG fuel tanks, LNG fuel gas supply units, a control unit and other facilities, and is delivered in modules. This contributes to the optimum design of the cargo space and helps the shipyard shorten the installation period, as well as supports safe operation by customizing the control system and other aspects of the FGSS to meet the operational needs of the ship owner.Going forward, by providing FGSS and related engineering services, as well as technical support for new buildings and conversions, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding will contribute to competitiveness for ship owners and operators, increase the added value of ships, and reduce the environmental load that is increasing worldwide.EEDI Phase 3 requirements:Regulations on the energy efficiency of ships based on the 2013 revision of the International Convention on the Prevention of Ship Pollution 1997 Protocol (Appendix VI to the MARPOL Convention). EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) is the number of grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) required to carry 1 ton of cargo for 1 mile, and the reduction rate from the baseline will be gradually enhanced. Car carriers are required to implement reductions of 5% by 2015 (Phase 1), 15% by 2020 (Phase 2), and 30% by 2025 (Phase 3). Copyright 2020 JCN Newswire. All rights reserved. www.jcnnewswire.com

Outline of Green ProjectsMHI Group's operations in wind power systems trace back to 1982 when the Company delivered its first commercial unit in Japan. Since then, we have supplied a total of more than 4,200 wind turbines (approx. 4.4 gigawatts) worldwide. In 2014 we established a joint venture with Vestas Wind Systems A/S (Vestas) of Denmark dedicated to business in offshore wind power systems. Known as MHI Vestas Offshore Wind A/S (MVOW), the JV has grown into a top global player in the area of wind systems. On October 29, 2020, MHI made an agreement with Vestas to transfer its shares in MVOW to Vestas and to acquire a 2.5% shareholding in Vestas, in order to strengthen competitiveness in this field by unifying development and manufacturing, including onshore wind systems, under Vestas. The agreement also strengthens MHI Group's partnership with Vestas in wind power systems, for example by MHI occupying one seat on the Vestas board. In addition, in July 2020, with an eye on the overall offshore wind systems value chain, we established a JV with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners P/S (CIP), also of Denmark, to develop an offshore wind power project in Hokkaido. In partnership with CIP, MHI is now entering the domestic market for offshore wind power systems.MHI Group has a robust track record in the manufacture and delivery of diverse products related to hydrogen, including hydrogen production systems and rocket engines that use hydrogen as a liquid fuel. We also have abundant experience in the use of hydrogen to generate electricity: specifically, a history of using hydrogen-containing by-product gas spanning some 50 years, back to the 1970s. In the area of large-scale gas turbines, we have achieved 30vol% hydrogen mixed combustion technology, enabled mainly through development of proprietary combustion chamber technology. In addition, MHI Group is participating in a feasibility study for a project targeting transition to 100% hydrogen firing by 2025 at part (440 megawatts) of a natural-gas-fired GTCC (gas turbine combined cycle) power plant in the Netherlands. Plans call for nearly a complete reduction of the plant's current CO2 emissions (approx. 1.3 million tons per year).MHI Group has continuously worked over many years to develop new geothermal power technologies. For example, we were first in the world to apply "two-phase flow and transport" in combination with a "double-flash" system, which today is a global standard in geothermal power plants. Our geothermal plants, which are based on the results of research accumulated over many years, today demonstrate their high performance and high operating rates worldwide. As an example, the Los Azufres III geothermal plant inaugurated in Mexico in 2015 achieved an operating rate of 99.6% within one year of start-up. MHI Group boasts an abundance of knowledge, experience and technologies in geothermal power systems, and today we rank first in the world in number of total deliveries. Going forward, we will continue to provide superlative geothermal technologies that enable stable supplies of electric power.(1) An unsecured straight bond issued only to finance green projects: i.e. projects that will result in environmental improvement.

KAWASAKI, Japan, Oct 29, 2020 - (JCN Newswire) - Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. today announced the development of a technology to make AI models more robust against deception attacks. The technology protects against attempts to use forged attack data to trick AI models into making a deliberate misjudgment when AI is used for sequential data consisting of multiple elements. Figure 1: simple process of generating simulated data attackFigure 2: image of automatic generation of simulated attack dataFigure 3 image of ensemble adversarial training techniquesFigure 4: evaluation of the newly developed technologyWith the use of AI technologies progressing in various fields in recent years, the risk of attacks that intentionally interfere with AI's ability to make correct judgments represents a source of growing concern. Many suitable conventional security resistance enhancement technologies exist for media data like images and sound. Their application to sequential data such as communication logs and service usage history remains insufficient, however, because of the challenges posed by preparing simulated attack data and the loss of accuracy. To overcome these challenges, Fujitsu has developed a robustness enhancement technology for AI models applicable to sequential data. This technology automatically generates a large amount of data simulating an attack and combines it with the original training data set to improve resistance to potential deception attacks while maintaining the accuracy of judgment. By applying this technology to an AI model(1) developed by Fujitsu to judge the necessity of countermeasures against cyber-attacks, it was confirmed that misjudgment of about 88% can be prevented in our own attack test data. Details of this technology will be announced at the Computer Security Symposium 2020 held from October 26 (Monday) to October 29 (Thursday).BackgroundIn recent years, AI has been increasingly used to analyze a vast range of data in fields as varied as medicine, social infrastructure, and agriculture. Nevertheless, the existence of security threats peculiar to AI represents a growing threat. Examples include attaching small stickers to road signs to confuse recognition systems and intentionally trying to trick AI models with slightly changed attack data in order to prevent a correct judgment. To help avoid these types of threats, an adversarial training technique has emerged in which simulated attack data created in advance is added to training data so that the AI model is not fooled when it encounters malicious actors. Previous technologies remain insufficient for dealing with the challenges posed by sequential data, however. AI has a wide range of applications for this type of data, including for the detection of cyber-attacks and credit card fraud, and so a growing need exists to develop technologies that can be applied to sequential data to strengthen resistance against deception attacks.IssuesOne way that cyber-attacks can be detected is through the analysis of communication log data. For instance, when an attacker logs in from the first terminal to another terminal, executes written malware and performs a series of attack operations to spread infection, an AI model can detect the attack from the communication log of such operations. However, attackers disguise attacks by mixing them between legitimate administrative operations, such as collecting server logs or applying patches, which can lead to false negatives in the AI detection model. In order to apply the adversarial training techniques to such a series of data, it is necessary to automatically generate a large amount of data simulating a deception attack as training data. In the case of media data such as images, it is possible to generate simulated attack data easily without damaging the characteristics of the original data by processing the data in units of pixels that cannot be discriminated by humans. However, in the case of sequential data, it is not clear which element affects the characteristics of the original data, so if you simply process a part of the data, the characteristics of the original data may be lost. (Figure 1) For example, the communication log data used to detect a cyber-attack is a series of log lines consisting of various elements such as the source of communication, the destination of the communication, the account used, the execution command, and the command arguments. In addition, even if simulated attack data can be generated, when it's used to train AI, it is necessary to be careful not to decrease the judgment accuracy for the original attack data.Newly Developed TechnologyFujitsu has developed a technology that can automatically generate simulated attack data for training, which can be applied to AI models that analyze sequential data and enable training with less deterioration in the accuracy of attack detection. The features of the developed technology are as follows:1. Automatic generation of simulated attack dataWhen creating simulated attack data, we first prepare the original attack data as a base and the data used for impersonation. In the case of cyber-attacks, the attacker wants to disguise malicious operations as benign operations, so the base data is the communication log data of the malicious operation, and the data used for the disguise is the communication log data of the benign operation. Next, the communication log data of benign operations used for the impersonation is analyzed by the AI model before the countermeasure, and the data with the impersonation effect which is easy to be judged as the benign operation is extracted referring to the result. This extracted data is combined with the communication log data of the base malicious operation, and it is generated as simulated attack data. Since the communication log data of the base malicious operation remains unchanged, a large amount of simulated attack data can be generated automatically without losing its original characteristics (Figure 2).2. Ensemble adversarial training techniquesUsing the original learning data set and the simulated attack data set generated with the new technique described above, two kinds of AI models are constructed: an AI model which works accurately for the original learning data and an AI model which works accurately for deception attack data (Figure 3) and the decision results of the two AI models are integrated by ensemble learning(2) using features indicative of possible deception attack data. In the case a cyber-attack is detected, it becomes possible to use ensemble learning to automatically and appropriately train AI models to decide which AI model's decision should be strongly reflected, since the number of log rows of communication log data and the number of duplicate log rows are used as indicative features. As a result, this technique increases the robustness to deception attacks while keeping loss of accuracy in the original data under control.EffectBy using the newly developed technology, it is possible to strengthen the resistance of the AI model against deception attacks against sequential data. To demonstrate its effectiveness, Fujitsu applied the newly developed techniques to an AI model that determines the necessity of responding to cyber-attacks. As a result, it was confirmed that the accuracy of judgment against simulated attack test data could be improved to about 88% without lowering the accuracy of judgment against the original test data. In addition, when analyzing the test data of the deception attack that went undetected, it was discovered that it was possible to deal with a simple rule such as judging a combination of specific operations as a deception attack, which made it possible to prevent virtually all deception attacks.Future PlansIn the future, Fujitsu plans to expand the application of this technology not only to counter cyber-attacks, but also to a variety of other areas to improve the security of systems using AI. In fiscal 2021, Fujitsu additionally aims to commercialize these techniques as part of a security enhancement technology offering.(1) AI model AI technology that automatically determines whether action needs to be taken in response to a cyberattack. https://bit.ly/31QacSk(2) Ensemble learning Refers to techniques that improve accuracy by combining results from multiple AI modelsAbout FujitsuFujitsu is the leading Japanese information and communication technology (ICT) company offering a full range of technology products, solutions and services.

Duisburg/ Wolfsburg, Oct 29, 2020 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi Power has recently received an order to supply the first Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) in Europe. The highly efficient hybrid system will be put into operation at the Gas- und Warme-Institut Essen e.V. (GWI) in Essen by March 2022. Among other things, flexible operation of the Hybrid-SOFC and the proportional use of hydrogen as a fuel gas are to be researched under real conditions.The system is part of the research project "KWK.NRW 4.0" and is funded by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (Hybrid-SOFC) from Mitsubishi Power plays a central role in the project. The highly efficient system not only supplies electricity and heat but can also be used decentralized and independently of the existing power grid. Another key advantage of the Hybrid-SOFC: the system can be operated flexibly with various fuels - from natural gas to biogas and hydrogen.This Hybrid-SOFC can theoretically supply electricity to a large office building, a hospital or about 300 houses with electricity and heat. In addition to natural gas, liquefied natural gas and biogas, it can also be operated with hydrogen, where the only emission is water and contribute to the decarbonization of electricity. Mitsubishi Power already has installed 9 units of Hybrid-SOFC systems in Japan. The plant in Essen will be the first of its kind outside Japan.Thanks to its compact dimensions, the Hybrid-SOFC can also be ideally integrated into a user's existing power and heat supply system. At GWI, the start-up and shut-down procedure of the plant as well as the dynamic (partial load) operation will be demonstrated. "An energy system with a high proportion of renewable energies inevitably requires plants that can supply electricity and heat reliably, quickly and in an environmentally friendly manner when the sun is not shining and the wind is not blowing," says Professor Klaus Gorner, scientific director of GWI. This kind of flexible and sustainable operation - especially with blending of hydrogen as fuel gas - will be comprehensively realized with the Hybrid-SOFC."We are delighted to bring the unique SOFC system to European market. It confirms the growing demand for clean energy sources where Mitsubishi Power has vast expertise", adds Professor Emmanouil Kakaras, Head of the New Products Business Unit at Mitsubishi Power Europe.
