LG TO PRESENT SPACIOUS YET SLEEK INSTAVIEW REFRIGERATOR AT CES 2023

New Counter-depth French-Door Fridge Boasts Mirror InstaView™ Panel,
Large Capacity and Four Types of Ice

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) is set to unveil the new LG InstaView™ French-Door refrigerator at CES 2023. Helping users create a more stylish kitchen that sits flush with the cabinetry and enjoy an upgraded culinary life, the new counter-depth model offers large capacity and a simple yet elegant built-in design featuring a mirror InstaView panel and unobtrusive pocket handles. It also provides four different types of ice and keeps food fresh for longer with LG’s advanced freshness technologies.

LG InstaView™ Counter-depth French-Door Refrigerator

The company’s new, 25.5-cubic feet counter-depth refrigerator offers a generous capacity, despite a nine percent reduction in depth compared to a conventional French-Door model.[1] To increase internal storage space, LG redesigned several of the fridge’s core components – slimming-down the cold air duct and the evaporator, while also reducing thickness by applying enhanced insulation. Although its expansive interior provides 25 percent more room for storing food and drinks than LG’s previous counter-depth models,[2] the new French-Door can still help to save space in the kitchen thanks to its smaller footprint.

The new model also brings a simple yet sophisticated aesthetic to the kitchen courtesy of LG’s unique mirror-InstaView panel and flat door design. Bordered in sleek stainless steel, the mirror-coated glass of the seamless InstaView panel covers almost the entire right-hand door of the refrigerator. Just by knocking twice on the panel, users can check inside without having to open the door – a time-saving convenience that prevents cold air from escaping and energy from being wasted. The subtle, minimalist beauty and clean, modern lines of LG’s latest InstaView are further enhanced by the discrete pocket handles applied to the fridge’s ‘flat’ doors.

Additionally, the new French-Door refrigerator can create four different types of ice: cubed ice, crushed ice, LG’s exclusive, slow-melting round Craft Ice, and the new mini cubed ice. Helping to keep drinks refreshingly cool, LG’s mini cubed ice makes a great addition to juices, sodas or cocktails. With four frozen choices at their disposal, users can select whichever style of ice best suits their need, their drink, or the occasion.

Featuring LG’s cutting-edge technologies, the new fridge seals in the freshness of ingredients for longer and helps maintain the hygiene of the built-in water dispenser. The company’s exclusive LinearCooling™ technology reduces temperature fluctuations, enabling the fridge to preserve food at peak freshness for up to seven days.[3] Meanwhile, DoorCooling+™ works faster than a conventional cooling system[4] to help keep food fresher – and beverages colder – on every shelf. On top of that, LG’s UVnano™ tech maintains the cleanliness of the fridge’s water dispenser, reducing the presence of bacteria on the dispenser’s nozzle by 99.99 percent.[5]

“LG’s new InstaView French-Door refrigerator makes a superb, stylish addition to any modern kitchen, offering consumers the ultimate in convenience, design and food freshness,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “We will continue to deliver outstanding customer value and experiences with innovative home solutions leveraging elegant, functional design and our advanced technologies.”

LG will be showcasing its latest home appliances, including the new InstaView French-Door refrigerator, at its exhibition booth (#15501, Las Vegas Convention Center) at CES 2023 in Las Vegas from January 5-8.

Based on TÜV Rheinland test results using LG’s internal test method, measuring the time it took to achieve a 5 percent weight loss rate for pak choi on the shelf in the fresh produce compartment of the LG LinearCooling model GSXV91NSAE. Results may vary depending on the actual usage environment.
[4] Tested by TÜV Rheinland using LG’s internal testing method, comparing the time of the temperature of the water container placed in the top basket to drop between DoorCooling+ and non-DoorCooling+ models.

Casio to Release “Adventurer’s Stone” G-SHOCK Watches to Commemorate 40th Anniversary

Models Evoke Mineral Sparkle with Metal Bezels

TOKYO, Dec. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the release of the newest additions to its series of shock-resistant G-SHOCK watches designed to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the G-SHOCK brand and its never-ending pursuit of toughness. The six Adventurer’s Stone models are inspired by stones that adventurers have long used to navigate.

Adventurer's Stone

Since the launch of the very first G-SHOCK, the DW-5000C, the brand has continually evolved not only in shock resistance, but in functionality and exterior design, as well.

The 40th anniversary Adventurer’s Stone shock-resistant models are inspired by the stones*1 known to adventurers as useful compasses since the Middle Ages. The G-SHOCK brand concept of continuous innovation inspires people to take on new challenges, and the design of this line is based on the value that these stones have always had to people seeking adventure.
*1 During voyages, the stones’ light-refracting properties, even on cloudy days, were used as a compass to determine the position of the sun.GM-5640GEM, GM-114GEM and GM-2140GEM

The watches’ metal bezels are forged and textured*2 to reproduce the rough feel of stone. The textured surface is also honed, while the top and sides are treated with hairline and mirror finishes, bringing out a crystalline beauty. Each inspired by a different type of stone, the bezel is treated with one of many different colorful ion platings to reproduce the look of that particular mineral and the unique way it shines depending on the light and cross section of the stone. Each model’s band is designed to complement the bezel.
*2 The GM-S5640GEM bezel is left untextured.

As befits an anniversary model, the anniversary logo is engraved on the case back, there are four stars for 40 on the band loop, and the phrase “SINCE 1983” appears on the dial.

‫كاسيو تُطلق ساعات يد G-SHOCK “Adventurer’s Stone” احتفالاً بالذكرى الأربعين 

الموديلات تستحضر التألق المعدني مع حواف معدنية

طوكيو ، 15 ديسمبر 2022 /PRNewswire/ —  أعلنت شركة Casio Computer Co.، Ltd . اليوم عن إطلاق أحدث الإضافات إلى سلسلة ساعات يد G-SHOCK المقاومة للصدمات والمصممة للاحتفال بالذكرى الأربعين لعلامة G-SHOCK التجارية والسعي الذي لا ينتهي للصلابة. تُستوحى موديلات حجر المغامر الستة من الأحجار التي استخدمها المغامرون لفترة طويلة للتنقل.

Adventurer's Stone

منذ إطلاق أول ساعات G-SHOCK ، DW-5000C ، تطورت العلامة التجارية باستمرار ليس فقط في مقاومة الصدمات، ولكن في الوظائف والتصميم الخارجي أيضًا.

تستلهم نماذج مقاومة الصدمات الحجرية للذكرى الأربعين من الأحجار*1 المعروفة لدى المغامرين بأنها بوصلات مفيدة منذ العصور الوسطى. إن مفهوم الابتكار المستمر للعلامة التجارية G-SHOCK يلهم الناس لتحمل تحديات جديدة، ويستند تصميم هذا الخط إلى القيمة التي لطالما كانت لهذه الأحجار للأشخاص الذين يسعون إلى المغامرة.
*1 خلال الرحلات، تم استخدام خصائص انكسار الضوء للحجارة، حتى في الأيام الغائمة، كبوصلة لتحديد موضع الشمس.

تم تشكيل الحواف المعدنية للساعات وتشكيلها *2 لتكرار الشعور الخشن بالحجر. كما يتم شحذ السطح الملمس، في حين يتم التعامل مع الجزء العلوي والجوانب مع تشطيبات الشعر والمرآة، مما يبرز جمالًا متبلورًا. كل واحد مستوحى من نوع مختلف من الحجر، يتم التعامل مع الإطار مع واحد من العديد من الطلاءات الأيونية الملونة المختلفة لتكرار مظهر هذا المعدن الخاص والطريقة الفريدة التي يلمع بها اعتمادًا على الضوء والمقطع العرضي للحجر. تم تصميم سوار كل طراز ليكمل الإطار.GM-5640GEM, GM-114GEM and GM-2140GEM
*2 تُرك الإطار GM-S5640GEM  دون تطابق.

وكما هو مناسب لنموذج الذكرى السنوية، فإن شعار الذكرى السنوية محفور على ظهر الحقيبة، وهناك أربعة نجوم مقابل 40 على حلقة النطاق الترددي، وتظهر عبارة “منذ عام 1983” على القرص.

‫شبكة تلفزيون الصين الدولية (CGTN): “مناهج جديدة”:  تستعد المستشفيات لإعطاء الأولوية لمرضى كوفيد-19

بكين، 15 دجنبر/كانون الأول 2022 / PRNewswire / — لتكرار المبادئ التوجيهية الجديدة للصين للوقاية من كوفيد-19 والسيطرة عليه، تعمل الحكومات المحلية والمستشفيات في جميع أنحاء البلاد على تحسين الخدمات الطبية وتخصيص الموارد الطبية لمواجهة الزيادة المحتملة في عدد المرضى وتقديم رعاية أفضل للمسنين والفئات الأكثر ضعفاً.

في 11 نونبر/تشرين الثاني، أعلنت البلاد عن 20 إجراءً جديدًا للوقاية من فيروس كورونا الجديد والسيطرة عليه. علاوة على ذلك، تم نشر 10 إجراءات جديدة أخرى في 7 شتنبر/أيلول لتحسين سياسة الصين للسيطرة على كوفيد-19.

تتطلب الإجراءات تعزيز الموارد الطبية لإعطاء الأولوية لمرضى كوفيد-19.

نظرًا لانتشار أحدث متغيرات أوميكرون بسرعة مع قابلية انتقال قوية، شهدت بعض المستشفيات في المدن الكبرى، بما في ذلك بكين وشانغهاي ووهان، أشخاصًا ينتظرون في طوابير لساعات لدخول عيادات الحمى.

لتجنب الذعر والضغط على الموارد الطبية، تعمل الحكومات المحلية والمستشفيات على ترقية المستشفيات المؤقتة الحالية، وإضافة أسرة العناية المركزة وتوزيع الموارد الطبية بشكل أفضل.

أقامت الصين مستشفيات مؤقتة لاستقبال وعلاج مرضى كوفيد-19 الذين يعانون من أعراض خفيفة والذين توقف انتشار الفيروس عندهم. مع تخفيف إجراءات السيطرة والوقاية من كوفيد-19، تمت ترقية المزيد من المستشفيات المؤقتة وتحويلها إلى مستشفيات فرعية على مستوى المدينة بناءً على حجم سكان كل مدينة.

قال جياو ياهوي، المدير العام لمكتب الإدارة الطبية التابع للجنة الصحة الوطنية، في مؤتمر صحفي في 9 دجنبر/كانون الأول، إن المستشفيات الفرعية المعينة ستعالج المرضى بدلاً من عزلهم فقط كما فعلت المستشفيات المتنقلة. وقالت أيضًا إن 10 في المائة من الأسرة في هذه المستشفيات ستتحول إلى أسرة وحدة العناية المركزة ( ICU ).

قال جياو: “هناك 138100 سرير لوحدة العناية المركزة في الصين، منها 106500 في مؤسسات طبية من الدرجة الأولى. في المتوسط، هناك 10 أسرّة لوحدة العناية المركزة لكل 100000 ألف شخص”.

قدم الخبراء أيضًا معلومات تثقيفية للجمهور حول الفيروس ويسألون المرضى الذين لا تظهر عليهم أعراض والمرضى الذين يعانون من أعراض خفيفة عدم التوجه إلى المستشفيات أو التشويش على رقم الطوارئ 120 للحفاظ على الموارد الطبية المتاحة للحالات الشديدة المحتملة.

بدأت العديد من المستشفيات في جميع أنحاء البلاد بالفعل في تغيير نهجها.

 قال لو وي، أخصائي المسالك البولية في مستشفى مقاطعة في تشونغتشينغ جنوب غرب الصين، لشبكة تلفزيون الصين الدولية ( CGTN ) إنه من المتوقع أن يتم قريبًا إيقاف المستشفى المؤقت الذي بناه مستشفى المقاطعة لفصل وعلاج مرضى كوفيد-19، إلى جانب تغييرات السياسة الوطنية.

 وقال لو: “لم يكن من السهل على مئات المرضى والعاملين الطبيين أن يكونوا مقيدين في المستشفى المؤقت الذي أقيم في ضاحية بعيدة عن عائلاتهم”. “يكون الأمر صعبًا بشكل خاص عندما يبقون هناك لفترة أطول.”

قال لو إنه بدلاً من إبقاء المستشفى المؤقت مفتوحًا، سيعمل مستشفى المقاطعة بدلاً من ذلك على توسيع قسم علاج الحمى الحالي إلى منطقة مخصصة لمرضى كوفيد-19. يمكن أيضًا تعيين أطباء من الأقسام الأخرى لعلاج مرضاهم في هذه المنطقة، ولا يلزم الحجر الصحي المفرط.

قال لو إنه لن يُطلب من المرضى الذين يعانون من أمراض أخرى إجراء اختبار كوفيد-19، وسيتم اختبار المرضى المسنين فقط بحثًا عن الفيروس، وسيتم إيلاء اهتمام خاص لهم إذا كانت النتائج إيجابية.

كما أنشأت بكين عيادات جديدة للحمى وغرفًا استشارية أو وسعت القائمة الموجودة، مما يتطلب من جميع المستشفيات في المستوى الثاني والمؤسسات الطبية الأولية المؤهلة إنشاء عيادات للحمى.

في العديد من الأماكن، بما في ذلك بكين ومقاطعة تشجيانغ بشرق الصين، فتحت العديد من المستشفيات خدمات خاصة عبر الإنترنت لعلاج كوفيد-19 حتى يتمكن المرضى الذين يعانون من الأعراض من الاستفسار عبر الإنترنت.

فتحت المستشفيات في شنغهاي قناة خاصة لاستقبال المرضى الذين كانت نتائج اختبار الحمض النووي أو اختبار المستضد غير طبيعية.

“لقد أنشأنا مناطق مختلفة ووفرنا قنوات مختلفة لمجموعات مختلفة من المرضى لضمان حصول جميع المرضى على الرعاية الطبية في الوقت المناسب. بالنسبة للمرضى المصابين بأمراض خطيرة، سوف يتلقون العلاج في الوقت المناسب سواء كانت لديهم نتائج اختبار كوفيد-19 سلبية أم لا،” وقال ما شين، نائب رئيس مستشفى هواشان بجامعة فودان في شنغهاي، لمجموعة شنغهاي ميديا.
