Sharp Develops Long-Range Video Monitoring Technology

TOKYO, Mar 26, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sharp Corporation has developed long-range video monitoring technology which uses AI to analyze and record video streamed from locations 5 to 10 km away. This technology was developed in collaboration with Harada Laboratory at Kyoto University (hereinafter "Kyoto University"), Watanabe Laboratory at Waseda University (hereinafter "Waseda University"), and Oita Asahi Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "OAB"), as part of the Ultra-Coverage Beyond 5G Wireless and Video Coding through Japan–US–Australia R&D Collaboration project (*1) commissioned by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Japan.Video analysis of grazing cattle during a field test.The video classifies difference in cattle behavior with green squares (standing) and yellow squares (feeding).Comparing the current footage (left) with the immediately preceding (40 seconds prior) footage (right), environmental changes are displayed at the top of the screen.This technology consists of long-range video transmission technology developed by Kyoto University, which enables the long-range 4K video transmission using a wireless transmission method based on very high frequency waves (VHF band), and Sharp's Dynamic Video Monitoring Technology, which recognizes the behavior of subjects in real-time without pre-training. Compared to conventional technologies, this new technology requires less preparation time for AI video analysis. In the future, this technology is expected to be utilized in a wide range of applications, including hazard detection and remote monitoring of disaster sites and evacuation shelters.To verify the effectiveness of this technology, Sharp conducted field tests in and outside Japan from March 2025 to January 2026 and demonstrated its applicability across various fields. In Japan, tests involving the monitoring of animal behavior at zoos and aquariums, as well as the streaming of live video from ships at sea were carried out. Overseas, a field test to monitor grazing cattle in remote areas has been conducted with Australia's national science agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).To further advance the wireless communication and video compression technologies used in the long-range video monitoring technology, Sharp is submitting proposals at international standardization conferences for wireless communication and video compression, aiming for adoption in Beyond 5G, the next-generation communication standard, and Beyond VVC, the next-generation video compression standard, both to be formulated as international standards. Furthermore, Sharp is committed to supporting digital transformation through long-range wireless communication and AI technologies, aiming to apply these solutions not only to animals and ships—as demonstrated in this proof-of-concept—but also to a wide range of fields, including transportation infrastructure and disaster response.1. 4K video transmission over long distances (5 to 10 km) by long-range video transmission technology which utilizes the VHF band2.

Effectiveness confirmed through field tests in and outside Japan*1 Grant No. 05101■ Key Features1. 4K video transmission over long distances (5 to 10 km) by long-range video transmission technology which utilizes the VHF bandWireless technologies used in mobile phones and other devices create coverage areas by densely deploying base stations at intervals ranging from several hundred meters to several kilometers, and transmit data between communication devices via these base stations. In contrast, the newly developed long-range video transmission technology utilizes VHF band wireless technology (*2) announced by Kyoto University, along with video compression and transmission technology. This enables the direct video data transmission between communication devices located 5 to 10 km (*3) apart, making it possible to transmit 4K video in locations where it is difficult to install base stations, such as remote islands, or within vast areas like ranches. Furthermore, since the new technology supports video transmission specification changes such as resolution and bit rate, the data transmission volume can be adjusted to suit the installation environment and intended use.Transmission range in a field test conducted in January 2026*2 For more information on this technology, please refer to the Kyoto University press release (https://www.dco.cce.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ja/PL/PL_2025_06.html) (in Japanese).*3 Transmission range will vary depending on the communication environment and video content.2. Dynamic Video Monitoring Technology (an AI technology) identifies subjects without pre-training and records changes in situations and behavior, applicable to various video analysis tasks with a shorter preparation periodIn video analysis, conventional AI technologies required preparatory work—such as labeling training data with information on the type, behavior, and location of subjects such as animals—as well as pre-training of the AI, which made it time-consuming to start using the system. In contrast, Dynamic Video Monitoring Technology can be activated in a shorter preparation time by applying prompts (instructions for the desired actions) along with preprocessing (*4) and postprocessing (*5) to AI which handles images and languages.*4 The processing of data to enable the AI to reason efficiently.*5 The process of converting data output by the AI into a format that is easy for users to understand and utilize.Furthermore, by combining the Dynamic Prompt Technology (*6) developed in joint with this technology, the AI automatically generates prompts based on the video content.

Maine Legislature Votes to Ban Credit Cards for Sports Betting and iGaming

(AsiaGameHub) -   Maine legislators have approved a bill that would prohibit credit card use for sports wagering and online gaming. LD 2080 now awaits review by Governor Janet Mills after the Legislature gave its approval on March 25 following Senate passage.  Should the governor sign the measure into law, it would bar operators and management services licensees from taking bets placed with credit cards and mandate that regulators configure systems to block such transactions on mobile applications, digital platforms, and at physical betting sites.  This legislative action occurs as Maine gets ready to launch its newly approved online gaming market and while legislators evaluate additional gambling-related proposals, such as a separate measure to prohibit sweepstakes casinos that remains under consideration.  Representative Marc Malon (D) filed the bill in January under the title "An Act to Protect Consumers by Prohibiting the Use of Credit Cards in Sports Wagering" to safeguard Maine residents from gambling addiction, though the name was subsequently modified to encompass internet gaming.  At that time, Malon described the legislation as a means to balance the economic advantages of legalized gambling with consumer safeguards, stating: "Legal and regulated gaming generates employment and delivers substantial revenue for our state. However, as sports wagering gains popularity and online gaming launches, the Legislature must focus on measures that balance these economic benefits with reasonable protections to prevent Mainers from developing addictions and accumulating debt. This legislation achieves that equilibrium."  Measure Revised and Broadened via Committee Amendment The legislation experienced several modifications before taking its current form as "An Act to Protect Consumers by Prohibiting the Use of Credit Cards in Sports Wagering and Internet Gaming."  Initially submitted in January, LD 2080 originally covered only sports wagering, but an amendment adopted earlier this month extended its reach to include internet gaming and revised its title accordingly.  Under the revised version, operators offering both sports wagering and internet gaming would be prohibited from accepting bets from customers attempting to use credit cards for payment.  The measure would additionally compel regulators to establish rules blocking credit card usage across all betting channels, including mobile platforms and in-person kiosks, thereby strengthening the prohibition through both operational and technical protections. In addition to approving this bill, the Legislature is examining legislation aimed at sweepstakes casinos. Earlier this month, Maine's Senate approved LD 2007, which would prohibit dual-currency online platforms. The concurrent consideration of these measures indicates that lawmakers are increasingly focused on consumer protections as legal gambling expands in the state.  Sector Shifting Away From Credit-Based Betting If LD 2080 is enacted, Maine will become part of an expanding group of states that have prohibited credit card gambling in various forms, including Iowa, New Hampshire, Tennessee, Vermont, Illinois, and Massachusetts. Major operators have also begun eliminating credit card acceptance. In August 2025, DraftKings ceased accepting credit cards for sportsbook and online casino deposits following a $450,000 penalty in Massachusetts for inadequate transaction blocking. FanDuel followed on March 2, discontinuing credit card deposits nationwide for its sportsbook, casino, and racing offerings. These recent developments indicate the industry may be voluntarily adopting standards that prioritize debit-based and direct bank transfer methods.  .  This article is provided by a third-party.

Playson introduces new Mystic Feature in 4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win

(AsiaGameHub) -   Playson, the renowned digital entertainment provider, celebrates the much-awaited comeback of Cleopatra in 4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win. This grand launch introduces a novel rotating Mystic Feature, enhancing the gaming experience through a two-tiered bonus system. Set against a sapphire sky above desert dunes, the 5×3 grid showcases vivid Egyptian-themed symbols alongside golden coins and as many as four sought-after Scarab Coins on the reels. The traditional Hold and Win Bonus Game featuring Scarab mechanics activates when violet, red, or blue Scarab Coins align with corresponding colored Scarab Pots positioned above the reels. The specific coin combination appearing on a spin dictates which of these features activates: Mystic Feature – This innovative addition causes every Red Scarab Coin that appears to uncover six extra cells containing as many as six random coin or Jackpot Coins. Multi Feature – Activated by the Violet Scarab Coin in the Bonus Game, this applies multipliers reaching 5x to vacant cells or boosts existing Multipliers for higher values. Collect Feature – Blue Scarab Coins emerging during this feature accumulate the value of all active symbols, encompassing any Multipliers linked to Coins, Jackpots, or Scarab Coins. Securing a Royal Scarab Coin in the Main Game may unlock the Royal Bonus Game, which begins with an enlarged 5×5 grid and one or more active features—Mystic, Multi, or Collect. Throughout this round, the triggered Royal Pyramid drops random violet, red, or blue Scarab Coins until six appear, introducing new features or upgrading current ones. Reflecting the slot's opulent design, Jackpots are available in both Bonus Games. Completing all 15 cells in the Bonus Game yields a 3,000x Grand Jackpot, while lucky adventurers who fill all 25 cells in the Royal Bonus Game activate the Royal Jackpot, worth a remarkable 10,000x. Adding a surprise element to Bonus gameplay, obtaining the Golden Pot in either Bonus Game triggers the Golden Pot Feature. Upon activation, it randomly converts into violet, red, or blue Scarab Coins, either launching another Scarab Feature or improving the active feature. 4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win demonstrates Playson's capacity to enhance its leading game portfolios with distinctive new mechanics, bolstering player engagement through data-informed insights. Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, commented: “4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win builds on a proven success and amplifies it with added excitement via our new Mystic Feature.

Belatra Releases Big Bang 2 in the Gaming Universe

(AsiaGameHub) -   Belatra, a prominent developer of cutting-edge online slots, has turned its attention to the cosmos with the launch of its electrifying new slot, Big Bang 2. Emerging from the vast expanse, Big Bang 2 introduces an innovative cascading mechanic set against an 8x8 grid. Wins are achieved when five or more identical celestial bodies form a cluster, connected either horizontally or vertically. Each victory triggers cascading explosions, causing new symbols to fall into place. The game is enhanced by captivating visuals and a futuristic soundtrack, creating a truly cosmic experience. At the heart of the game lies the Black Hole, which functions as a Wild symbol. In the base game, it possesses its own multiplier that increases by one each time it contributes to a winning combination. If multiple Black Holes are part of a win, their multipliers are combined and applied to the total payout. True Giants, ranging in size from 2x2 to 5x5, can appear on the grid at any moment. Each of these colossal symbols comes with a multiplier equivalent to its width, meaning larger planets yield greater rewards. The Planet Rain feature can activate randomly, transforming an ordinary round into a significant event by providing an instant boost to all winning clusters. During each round, a Coin Spawn Zone becomes active across three random positions. When planets explode within this zone, they release Cosmic Coins with values ranging from 1 to 100. These coins are then absorbed by the Black Hole that holds the highest multiplier on the field. The appearance of three or more Black Holes on the grid initiates five Free Games. These Black Holes remain fixed until the end of the bonus round, growing in power with each cascade. The Coin Spawn Zone expands to four positions at the start of the Free Games and continues to grow by one cell with every spin, thereby increasing the potential for larger wins. Hot Mode is activated when three Black Holes land simultaneously with a “+1” symbol. This mode features six high-intensity games with an expanding Coin Spawn Zone. Players also have the option to jump directly into the action by purchasing either the standard Bonus Games or the high-intensity Hot Mode. Regardless of the chosen option, the win potential in these modes is substantial, reaching up to 10,000 times the initial bet. Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, stated: “Big Bang 2 embarks players on an unforgettable journey through deep space, featuring rewarding mechanics such as merging Black Holes, expanding Coin Spawn Zones, and win potential up to 10,000x. This game has been meticulously designed for players who value style, aesthetics, and the excitement of epic discoveries within the boundless universe of gaming.” This article is provided by a third-party.

In addition, due to the decline in sales revenue and gross margin, as well as an increase in loss allowances for trade receivables owing to extended repayment from certain distributors, the profit attributable to owners of the Company decreased by 59% year-on-year to approximately HK$13.7 million, although such decrease in profit was already partly offset by a net gain on compensatory surrender recognised during the year. Earnings per share of the Company was HK0.97 cents per Share.With strengthened marketing effort for dry white in coastal region and the launch of new white wine and sparkling wine products, sales of white wine products served as the Group’s primary revenue contributor. Sales of red and white wines products accounted for approximately 39% and 54% of the revenue respectively for the year (2024: approximately 41% and 56% respectively). The gross margin of red wine products and white wine products in 2025 were 25% and 35% respectively (2024: 36% and 41% respectively). The overall gross profit margin decreased to 31% in 2025 (2024: 39%), mainly due to change in product mix with more products with lower prices and margin in response to market dynamics and needs during the year.The Group has been actively pursuing innovation, embracing the “5+4+N” product strategy, with “N” standing for developing various customised products and continuously creating new products to meet the diverse needs of different Chinese consumer groups. During the year, the Group launched a new gift set product, i.e. Dynasty Chinese Zodiac Commemorative Dry Red Wine for the Yi Si Year of Snake, integrating with the Chinese zodiac culture and the leading rise of Chinese-style fashionable products, by presenting the zodiac culture in a youthful visual language to attract potential consumers. In addition, based on its existing high-quality products, the Group continues to introduce new products and promote product upgrades. The Group participated in the 112th China Food & Drinks Fair in March 2025, introducing new products such as Tianyang Tea-flavoured wine series, Dynasty Baifu VSOP brandy, etc., to further improve its product matrix and provide consumers with diverse consumption choices. Breaking through from the constraints of traditional wine, this tea-flavoured wine series, with its core concept of “tea and wine fusion,” has captured market attention with its unique craftsmanship. During the China Food & Drinks Fair, the Group also held wine-tasting events, where the new wines from Dynasty Ningxia Winery won industry praise for their unique flavor and exquisite craftsmanship. In the second half of the year, the Group also introduced new products “Hi” tea-flavoured wine series in response to the market need, which are very suitable for ready-to-drink scenarios among young consumers.In addition to enriching the product matrix, the Group has been closely cooperating with distributors, pressing ahead with its marketing campaign, accelerating the innovation of consumption scenarios, and enhancing and strengthening the wine cultural experience. The Group held its national tour tasting and business events, new products launch ceremonies at various exhibitions and wine fairs, as well as promotion activities for the 20th anniversary of listing in Hong Kong, during which the Group actively promoted its latest product mix that covered all product lines.During the year, two joint venture companies approved by the Group were established in February 2025, for the manufacturing and sales of yellow wine and Chenpi wine and trading of sauce-flavour baijiu products nationwide in the PRC respectively. For the yellow wine project, installation and testing of production equipment of a manufacturing plant with a tank capacity of 3,000 tonnes of yellow wine and special yellow wine – Chenpi wine in Jiangsu is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026. Upon completion of the project, the Group will be able to produce special yellow wine – Dongtai Chenpi Wine which allows the Group to effectively expand product categories, seize development opportunities in the Chinese yellow wine industry. The project expansion aims to effectively implement Dynasty’s strategic plan, further improving the industrial layout, expanding category tracks, tapping into industry potential, creating new performance growth points, and realising Dynasty Group’s transformation into a full category, full industry-chain enterprise. For the sauce-flavour baijiu segment, Dynasty sauce-flavour baijiu products, namely ‘Han’, ‘Tang’, ‘Song’ and ‘Ming’ have been newly launched in the core-market in Tianjin and Shanghai and will be further strategically promoted to other regions in 2026. The sauce-flavour baijiu products satisfy the needs of customer groups with different spending habits and contributing to the Group’s business. In the future, the continuous development and expansion of the sauce-flavour baijiu industry and the improvement of the level of customer groups will inevitably and effectively drive the increase in the sales scale of Dynasty wine and related products, thereby enhancing our industry influence and brand awareness.Regarding online sales, the e-commerce team of the Group comprehensively operates online stores itself on the traditional e-commerce platforms, such as JD.com, Tmall and Pinduoduo  for product sales, as well as comprehensive innovation on its brand, product categories, and business systems, procedures and models via interest-based e-commerce platforms, including Rednote, Kuai and TikTok.

OpenClawd Ships Verified Skill Screening After Security Researchers Find 12% of OpenClaw Marketplace Skills Are Malware

NEW YORK, N.Y., Mar 26, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - OpenClawd AI today released a security-focused platform update that adds automated skill vetting, verified installer sourcing, and runtime sandboxing to its managed OpenClaw hosting service. The update responds to two converging threats targeting users of the open-source AI agent formerly known as Clawdbot and Moltbot: a large-scale malware campaign inside the official OpenClaw skill marketplace, and a parallel wave of counterfeit installation packages being promoted through search engine results.The numbers are bad enough on their own. Together, they describe a supply chain that is actively hostile to casual users.One in Eight OpenClaw Skills Is Confirmed MaliciousIndependent security researchers recently completed an audit of the ClawHub skill marketplace — the primary distribution channel for third-party OpenClaw plugins. Out of 2,857 published skills, 341 were confirmed as malicious. That is approximately 12% of the entire marketplace.The findings include:Keyloggers and credential stealers deployed through skills that appear to offer legitimate productivity featuresSilent data exfiltration — one widely-downloaded skill was found to instruct the OpenClaw agent to execute curl commands that sent user data to an external server without any notification or consent promptPrompt injection payloads embedded in skill descriptions, designed to override the agent’s safety guidelines and force execution of unauthorized commandsPlaintext credential exposure — a separate audit found that over 280 additional skills were leaking API keys, tokens, and passwords in their source codeA major cybersecurity firm tested a specific ClawHub skill and published the results: nine security findings, including two critical and five high-severity issues. The skill functioned as what the researchers called “functionally malware.” The most widely-downloaded malicious skill on ClawHub was a cryptocurrency stealer.Fake OpenClaw Installers Are Being Promoted by Search EnginesThe marketplace problem is only half the story. A cybersecurity research team discovered that threat actors have published counterfeit OpenClaw installation packages on open-source code repositories. These fake installers mimic the legitimate OpenClaw setup process but instead deliver a malware packer that disables firewall protections and routes network traffic through compromised systems.The attack chain is straightforward: a user searches for “install OpenClaw” or “Clawdbot download.” An AI-powered search engine returns a result linking to the malicious repository. The user follows the instructions. The malware deploys silently.The researcher who discovered the campaign noted that the person who first reported the threat was a technical professional. “If a fellow IT pro is susceptible to this threat,” he said, “then anyone could be.”“There are now two ways to get compromised before you even run your first OpenClaw command,” said Danny Wilson, spokesperson for OpenClawd. “You can install a fake version of the software, or you can install the real version and then add a skill that steals your data. We built this update so that neither path exists on our platform.”What OpenClawd Ships TodayThis update targets both the supply chain and the runtime:Verified installer sourcing — all OpenClawd instances are provisioned from cryptographically signed OpenClaw releases, pulled directly from the official repository. No third-party install paths. No search engine intermediaries.Skill vetting pipeline — third-party skills go through automated static analysis and behavioral testing before activation. Skills flagged for network exfiltration, prompt injection patterns, or credential exposure are blocked by default.Runtime sandboxing — each skill executes in an isolated environment with explicit permission boundaries. A skill that requests network access to an unexpected endpoint triggers a review before execution.Credential isolation — API keys and tokens are stored in encrypted vaults and never exposed in plaintext to skill code or agent logsAutomatic CVE patching — hosted instances track the latest stable OpenClaw release (currently v2026.3.x), with all known vulnerabilities patched before deploymentOpenClawd does not operate its own skill marketplace. Skills available on hosted instances are drawn from the official ClawHub repository after passing the vetting pipeline described above.OpenClawd is not affiliated with the OpenClaw open-source foundation, OpenAI, Peter Steinberger, or any third-party security research firm cited in this release. It is an independent platform built on the open-source Clawdbot codebase. The open-source project remains free at github.com/openclaw/openclaw.Pricing starts with a free tier. Paid plans include dedicated compute, priority security patching, and uptime monitoring.

Originally designed with breathable pique knit, a soft collar, and lightweight construction to meet the demands of competitive sports, it has evolved into a timeless essential, suitable for casual elegance and leisurewear.The polo shirt traces its origins to polo players, where it was created out of necessity for the sport. Polo players modified long‑sleeved cotton shirts to better handle heat, movement, and wind while playing.

Pragmatic Play Expands Its Arcade Portfolio With The Im-Peck-Able Chicken+

(AsiaGameHub) -   Pragmatic Play, a top content provider for the iGaming industry, has broadened its arcade collection with the introduction of Chicken+, a retro-themed game offering fast-paced action and substantial winning opportunities. Featuring nostalgic 8-bit visuals, the game tasks players with evading oncoming traffic and other obstacles to safely guide the chicken across the highway. Each successfully crossed lane increases the win multiplier. Players can withdraw their earnings at any point or try to cross all lanes to secure the top prize, though a single random mishap results in a losing round. To aid their choices, players can view the potential payout and the percentage likelihood of reaching each lane. There are four risk tiers – Easy, Mid, Hard, and Daredevil. Increasing the level reduces the number of lanes per round but raises volatility, enhancing the maximum winning potential from 24x in Easy mode to over 3,000,000x in Daredevil. Blending retro graphics, a whimsical theme, a user-friendly interface, and quick betting rounds, Chicken+ caters to the rising demand for engaging, high-action games that are easy to play. This game is the newest addition to Pragmatic Play’s continuously expanding arcade lineup, coming after the launches of Plinko+, Spire+ and Mines+. Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said: “Chicken+ merges retro appeal with straightforward, high-engagement gameplay. With adjustable risk levels and notable winning potential, it stands out as another attractive addition to Pragmatic Play’s varied arcade portfolio, encouraging players to take a chance and cross the road.” This article is provided by a third-party.

25-Year Maintenance Worker Wins $200,758 Jackpot on Leprechaun Luck at Winaday Casino

(AsiaGameHub) -   WinadayCasino.eu is marking a life-altering milestone for one of its long-time loyal players, as Scott O., a maintenance worker aged over 50, hit an incredible $200,758.55 jackpot while playing Leprechaun Luck during the early hours of January 29. To celebrate this special occasion, Winaday Casino is offering a $25 Free Chip to all new and existing players through April 30th, redeemable on all Slotland Entertainment slot games. The prize has completely reshaped the retirement outlook for the recently remarried father of two, who now plans to secure his family's financial future while enjoying a handful of well-earned luxuries. Scott was unwinding in his living room recliner after his evening meal when lucky fortune struck. “Truth be told, I just froze for a moment. I stared at the screen and thought, there's no way that just happened,” Scott recalled. “Then I called out for my wife to come take a look because I needed someone else to confirm it was real. I was stunned, overjoyed, and probably a little shaky for a couple of minutes.” He had been playing on his tablet for just 30 to 40 minutes as a way to wind down at the end of the day, when the popular slot game paid out a sum that was far larger than any previous win he had ever earned. Scott, who plays at Winaday and Slotland several times each week, has clear plans for his unexpected windfall. Aside from paying off all outstanding bills and growing his savings, he intends to support his two grown children with their educational costs. He also hopes to build a backyard area where his family and their dog can spend quality time together. “For me, this win isn't just about the money, it's about making daily life a little easier and doing nice things for the people I care about most,” Scott said. Michael Hilary, Manager at Winaday Casino, shared the platform's warm congratulations. “We are absolutely thrilled for Scott and his entire family,” Hilary said. “This is the exact moment every player dreams of, and seeing it happen for someone who plays responsibly and genuinely enjoys the experience makes it even more special. Scott's story perfectly captures what Winaday is all about—providing entertainment that occasionally delivers truly extraordinary, life-changing moments. We wish him and his family all the happiness in the world as they begin this exciting new chapter.” Scott, who values Winaday's simple, straightforward interface and convenient at-home access, offered practical tips for fellow players: set a clear budget, play for entertainment, and know when to step back when luck is on your side. “But winning was such an incredible feeling,” he added. “What made it even better was being able to share that exact moment with my wife right there at home. It's a memory I will never forget.” Winaday Casino continues to welcome new players who are chasing their own lucky moments. $25 FREE CHIP, Valid Until April 30, 2026 * Wagering requirements: 30x * Maximum cashout: $100 * Available for both new and existing players * Limited exclusively to slots from Slotland Entertainment * Code: SCOTTSLUCK This article is provided by a third-party.
