New Repeat Orders for QUADRA High-Throughput Metrology System from Leading Semiconductor Manufacturer Fills Up Nearfield Instruments’ 2025 Order BookArsenal overtook Chelsea to move into second place at the top of the table and although they are six points behind ­Liverpool who have a game in hand, Mikel Arteta’s team have breathed life into a title race that was beginning to look a tad processional. While Enzo Maresca, the Chelsea manager, insists on almost a daily basis that his team cannot be considered to be in the race at all, Arteta is just as ­determined to put his side at the heart of the battle. A third consecutive season as runners-up would be debilitating as well as annoying and it is imperative, from Arteta’s perspective, that no-one forgets they are a force to be reckoned with rather than a team that does not quite have what it takes.milyon88 slot 。

Nick Kyrgios has described Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek’s positive doping tests as “disgusting” ahead of his return to tennis. The controversial Australian has played only one match in more than two years because of injury but that has not stopped him being an outspoken presence on social media during a difficult few months for the sport. First it was announced in August that Sinner had failed two doping tests in March but was cleared of fault, while in November Swiatek was handed a one-month ban for a failed test caused by contaminated medication. Feels good getting these consecutive days training in the bank man.... Wrist re construction and back out here... blessed..................Without failing any drug tests 🙂‍↕️🙏🏽 be proud kygs doing it the right way 😩😂 pic.twitter.com/J8l21lnTdI — Nicholas Kyrgios (@NickKyrgios) December 5, 2024 Kyrgios has been particularly vociferous in his criticism of Sinner, who could yet face a ban after the World Anti-Doping Agency appealed the finding of no fault or negligence in his case. At a press conference ahead of the Brisbane International, Kyrgios told reporters: “I have to be outspoken about it because I don’t think there’s enough people that are speaking about it. I think people are trying to sweep it under the rug. “I just think that it’s been handled horrifically in our sport. Two world number ones both getting done for doping is disgusting for our sport. It’s a horrible look. “The tennis integrity right now – and everyone knows it, but no one wants to speak about it – it’s awful. It’s actually awful. And it’s not OK.” Kyrgios initially underwent knee surgery in January 2023, returning to action in June of that year, but he played only one match before pulling out of Wimbledon due to a torn ligament in his right wrist. He has not played a competitive match since, and it appeared doubtful that he would be able to return, but the 29-year-old will make his comeback in Brisbane this week. Kyrgios will take on France’s Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in singles, while he will also team up with Novak Djokovic in a blockbuster doubles pairing. “It’s good to be back,” said Kyrgios. “I honestly never thought I’d be back playing at this level. Even entering an event like this, preparing, doing all the right things. A post shared by Nick Kyrgios (@k1ngkyrg1os) “I’m really excited to just go out there and play, just play tennis. I saw Novak in the gym, playing doubles with him, a lot to be excited about that I’m able to get out there and compete again.” Asked whether he could get back to the same level that saw him reach the Wimbledon final in 2022, Kyrgios said: “I still believe I can, whether or not that’s factual or not. There was another player who was like, ‘You have to be realistic’. That’s not how I am. I always back my ability.” The new tennis season is already under way, with the United Cup team event beginning on Friday. Great Britain, who are weakened by the absence of Jack Draper through injury, begin their campaign against Argentina in Sydney on Monday before facing hosts Australia on Wednesday. That could pit Katie Boulter against fiance Alex De Minaur, with the pair having announced their engagement last week. A post shared by Katie Boulter (@katiecboulter) “Obviously some incredible news from our side, but I think we kind of wanted it to die down a little bit before matches started,” said Boulter of the timing. “My private life is out in the public a little bit at the moment. But, in terms of the stuff that I’m doing on the court, I’ll be doing the best I can every single day to stay in my own little bubble.” Billy Harris has taken Draper’s place, with the British number one facing a race against time to be fit for the Australian Open because of a hip problem. Emma Raducanu is the sixth seed at the ASB Classic in Auckland and will begin her season with a match against Robin Montgomery, while Cameron Norrie takes on another American, Learner Tien, at the Hong Kong Open.

WOKING, England — Inside McLaren's massive technology center, artificial intelligence isn't something that's shouted from the rooftops. > Watch NBC Bay Area News 📺 Streaming free 24/7 However, the 60-year-old motorsports giant is an avid user of the tech behind the scenes. At the McLaren Technology Center (MTC), located in Woking, England, the company explained how it's using AI to improve its chances on the Formula One track. "We're an organization that's used traditional machine learning tech products for a long time," Dan Keyworth, McLaren's director of business technology, said in a press briefing at the MTC in October. Using machine learning, McLaren is able to base its decision-making on probability, which in turn helps it train its AI models, according to Keyworth. The racing firm showed off numerous examples of technological innovation at the MTC. They range from real-time data monitoring inside its secretive mission control room, to the use of "digital twins" (3D digital versions of physical objects) of real cars that allow teams to model the conditions that actual vehicles will need to perform in. Keyworth said there are three main areas where McLaren is applying AI in a big way: improving car performance, day-to-day operations, and commercialization. He added that generative AI tools are offering new capabilities for F1 teams, including the ability to run in-depth simulations of certain possibilities that might take place during races. That could span from working out an ideal time a car should spend at pit stops, to deciding on which tires to add onto the vehicle when replacing an old set. "What AI allows us to do from a generative perspective is to actually game out more of those actual scenarios and go, 'What will happen?'" Keyworth said. Some of those scenarios are starting to lead to "pretty accurate" results — to an "almost scary" degree, heh added. F1 not new to tech advances Tech has long been key to success when it comes to motorsports — and not just for McLaren. Various F1 teams have been exploiting modern advances in technology for years — from cloud computing to AI and machine learning. Aston Martin Aramco, for example, touts the use of so-called "data lakes" — massive data storage centers — and machine learning tech to learn from vast volumes of data to predict patterns and improve decision-making. Clare Lansley, Aston Martin Aramco's chief information officer, says machine learning algorithms can blend data on tires, the weather and track conditions, and use predictive analytics to optimize decisions. In an April blog post , she said the speed at which these developments are happening is "really impressive." "By adopting this tech, we are going to be able to free up multiple engineers so they can focus more acutely on car performance," she noted. Another F1 team deploying AI to improve its racetrack performance and strategy is Red Bull-owned Visa Cash App RB. Peter Bayer, CEO of RB, said earlier this year that the Italian F1 team is making use of AI to compete down to "hundreds and thousandths of a second." Speaking at an event with the firm's software partner Epicor at its factory in Faenza, Italy, Guillaume Dezoteux, RB's head of vehicle performance, said that AI can help inform teams when it comes to planning as "it means you don't need to run 100 simulations." Connectivity is 'lifeblood of the sport' Keyworth noted that none of the innovation that goes on inside McLaren would happen without the help of IT tools and equipment from partners like Cisco and Google . "Connectivity is probably the lifeblood of the sport," he said ahead of the Oct. 27 Mexico City Grand Prix race. "Without it, nothing starts. No car can be on the track safely." A key component behind McLaren's ability to keep data flowing through to its teams in real-time is its so-called mobile data centers. These are miniature server rooms that get flown around to different races around the world to keep the digital components of the operation online consistently. "These mobile data centers are flown alongside the famous F1 cars to each race location and brought online remotely to enable real-time storage and data processing" from the MTC, Chintan Patel, Cisco's chief technology officer for the U.K. and Ireland, told CNBC. Another area where AI is adding benefits is commercialization, according to McLaren's Keyworth. For fans and partners, he said, McLaren is increasingly trying to "enrich the journey and experience, and make our fans feel more connected." With AI, McLaren can better target fans located in more nascent markets for F1 like the U.S., where the sport has grown in popularity — for example, by personalizing information to fans at certain times of day. Meanwhile, when it comes to using AI on the business side of things, Keyworth said, the main area of improvement the company is seeing is in "making everybody's lives richer, slicker, faster, more efficient." "It's not a labor replacement — it's a 'laborious' replacement," he said. "You want to unlock your team to do the things that you hired them for — not to work through the overhead that lives in their role."Real Madrid are interested in signing Micky van de Ven from Tottenham amid an injury crisis in defence, while Barcelona could see both Dani Olmo and Frenkie de Jong leave in January as the La Liga giants face having to cut costs.
