AI Public Safety & AGI Data Privacy: 'AI Report' Cybersecurity Asset Management System Launches to Protect Public Health Clinical Trial for Military Veterans

RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National security operators have initiated live tests of the Al Report-an independent, non-purchasable identity verification system built to protect public safety against deep-running web domain hijackings and automated cyber anomalies.

Originally built within a Defense sector research Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) known as "Project Hooter," this digital watchdog verifies that organizational profiles are true, complete, and uncorrupted for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) systems, traditional search tools, and robotic hardware networks.

This defensive technology arrives on the heels of high-alert cyber incidents targeting major search engines' unique keyword web search or GOOGL'd news content an official government portals like the Ethiopian government agency website (gov.et). In these cases, unsuspecting internet users looking for authentic public service announcements and military veteran health research reports published on US government-affiliated public health and defense research collaborative clinical trial were redirected by online anomalies away from genuine updates regarding a multi-agency, defense-backed NGO consortium.

The deployment follows critical cyber exploits where commercial indexing servers and international portals (such as gov.et) were compromised. These vulnerabilities misrouted users looking for legitimate updates on multi-agency, defense-backed clinical trials (National Institute of Health PRS:NCT07661823) that treat disabled military veterans recovering from severe behavioral health disorders. Under 9424 Government-use confirmatory licenses, this defensive technology is currently under evaluation by defense research teams to safeguard these critical AGI public health operations.

Top 10 Enterprise & Civil Use Cases

Public Sector & Infrastructure Oversight

Smart City AGI Ecosystem Oversight: Ensures operational data streams remain completely consistent for processing by AGI networks within autonomous microcities.

Government Supplier & Contractor Monitoring: Confirms participating defense and civil contractors remain findable and accurately categorized without modifying official SAM.gov registries.

Federal Laboratory Commercialization: Provides an objective, repeatable data-visibility layer for active non-federal technology transfers operating under formal CRADAs.

Enterprise Safety & Supply Chain Trust

Cybersecurity RDT&E Sandboxes: Assists defensive software teams by isolating pure technical infrastructure failures from negative public commercial findings during live simulations.

AI Public Safety Compliance: Aids security administrators in tracking systemic cyber exploits, malicious routing loops, and device counter-surveillance concerns.

Supply Chain Integrity Maintenance: Validates the digital footprints of manufacturing plants to mitigate the risk of counterfeit components entering robotic assembly lines.

Enterprise Information Retention: Clarifies complex, static public data assets into a highly actionable, simplified recurring tracking log for corporate aggregators.

Civil Society & Citizen Protection

AI Discoverability & Knowledge Completeness: Evaluates whether local community service records offer enough accurate context to actively prevent harmful machine-learning hallucinations.

Veterans Recovery & Mental Health Network Tracking: Monitors the public presence of rehabilitation centers and clinical networks so vulnerable individuals always find real resources.

Nonprofit & NGO Grant Security Monitoring: Tracks public-facing data streams of active humanitarian organizations to ensure baseline visibility trends remain independent from standard financial audit compliance protocols.

Geopolitical Compliance & The TDC Model Code

As physical humanoid robots and autonomous delivery drones enter public spaces without undergoing historical, multi-year software debugging cycles, a single hijacked domain or conflicting address can cause immediate real-world failure. To govern these risks, the newly established QAIAx TDC Model Code sets clear baseline testing rules modeled after standard industrial safety benchmarks like the universal UL Certification.

This framework acts as a vital buffer under the active Autonomous 2025 Robot Act of Congress, which strictly prohibits Western entities from using robotic hardware or sensor systems manufactured by Chinese firms. By maintaining an independent, unalterable accountability metric, the Al Report allows Western operators to ensure their supply chains are verified, compliant, and completely insulated from forbidden foreign servers.

Direct Access: Verify Your Score Free

Organizations can audit their digital footprint and AI discoverability standing without any setup fees using specific official portals:

For Core Business Domains: Use www.ALREPORT.org or www.aireport.website to evaluate primary corporate network architectures.

For Professional Social Profiles: Route digital tracking requests through www.aireport.me to verify corporate social networks like LinkedIn.

If you want to tailor this further, tell me:

Should we integrate more specific legal background about the 9424 Government-use confirmatory license framework?

Do you want to highlight the historical timeline of the AI-119 I-Labs from Harvard and the Pentagon?

Should we expand on how smart health cities utilize these verified data pathways?

Platform pertahanan AI berlapis yang mengorelasikan ancaman di setiap domain jaringan sekaligus melindungi pelanggan secara real time

RICHARDSON, Texas, Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mavenir, perusahaan perangkat lunak yang membangun jaringan seluler berbasis cloud dan mengintegrasikan AI sejak tahap perancangan, hari ini mengumumkan NetAIShield, kerangka perlindungan penipuan generasi mendatang berbasis AI. Platform ini dirancang untuk melindungi jaringan telekomunikasi dan pelanggan dari ancaman penipuan yang semakin canggih.

Penipuan modern di industri telekomunikasi telah berkembang dan tidak lagi terjadi sebagai serangan yang berdiri sendiri. Pelaku kejahatan siber kini melancarkan serangan terkoordinasi melalui berbagai kanal, seperti suara, pesan, data, dan OTT. Mereka menyamar sebagai operator telekomunikasi, instansi pemerintah, maupun lembaga keuangan dengan memanfaatkan audio deepfake, identitas sintetis, SIM swap (pengambilalihan nomor ponsel), SIM box, serta teknik manipulasi psikologis dengan teknologi AI.

Solusi penanggulangan penipuan tradisional, yang dirancang untuk mendeteksi ancaman dalam setiap domain jaringan, hanya memberikan gambaran yang terfragmentasi. Akibatnya, serangan yang semakin kompleks dapat gagal terdeteksi.

NetAIShield mengatasi tantangan ini dengan arsitektur pertahanan AI berlapis. Arsitektur tersebut mengorelasikan telemetri jaringan, perilaku pelanggan, peristiwa pensinyalan, intelijen pesan, dan indikator ancaman untuk memberikan satu gambaran terpadu mengenai aktivitas penipuan secara real time. NetAIShield dirancang agar dapat beroperasi bersama portofolio keamanan Mavenir yang sudah ada maupun diterapkan sebagai lapisan tambahan pada solusi deteksi penipuan pihak ketiga. Dengan demikian, operator dapat mendeteksi, memprioritaskan, dan menetralkan serangan canggih dengan gangguan seminimal mungkin terhadap infrastruktur yang telah ada.

Salah satu inovasi utama NetAIShield adalah AI-Protected Communications, yang memperluas perlindungan terhadap penipuan bukan hanya di tingkat jaringan, tetapi juga hingga ke setiap pelanggan. Keamanan pada lapisan jaringan melindungi pelanggan dengan mendeteksi dan memblokir trafik yang terindikasi sebagai penipuan sebelum panggilan tersambung.

Namun, penipuan yang paling merugikan kini semakin sering terjadi selama percakapan telepon berlangsung. AI-Protected Communications mengatasi celah ini melalui asisten AI pribadi yang mampu menyaring penelepon tidak dikenal secara cerdas. Asisten ini memantau percakapan untuk mengenali indikasi manipulasi psikologis, peniruan suara berbasis deepfake, penipuan finansial, serta perilaku mencurigakan lainnya, lalu melakukan intervensi secara real time begitu mendeteksi risiko.

Fitur ini dapat berjalan secara transparan pada perangkat yang sudah ada tanpa memerlukan perangkat keras baru, selama ada persetujuan pengguna. Untuk mendukung kepatuhan terhadap regulasi, penelepon akan diberi tahu bahwa mereka sedang berinteraksi dengan asisten AI yang melakukan penyaringan panggilan. Kontak tepercaya tidak perlu melalui proses penyaringan, sedangkan penelepon yang tidak dikenal akan terlebih dahulu diautentikasi sebelum dapat terhubung ke pelanggan.

Untuk memberikan perlindungan berkelanjutan, asisten AI dapat tetap aktif selama panggilan berlangsung untuk melakukan penilaian risiko secara real time, memperingatkan pelanggan melalui peringatan instan yang hanya dapat didengar oleh pelanggan (whisper), serta membantu mengakhiri atau mengalihkan percakapan yang terindikasi sebagai penipuan bila diperlukan. Platform ini terus belajar dari pola serangan baru yang muncul, sehingga perlindungannya terus berkembang mengikuti perubahan taktik penipuan.

Dibangun berdasarkan portofolio keamanan Mavenir yang telah terbukti dan telah diterapkan di lebih dari 70 jaringan operator Tier 1 untuk melindungi lebih dari satu miliar pelanggan di seluruh dunia, NetAIShield menunjukkan evolusi berikutnya dalam keamanan telekomunikasi berbasis AI. Platform ini menggabungkan intelijen di seluruh jaringan dengan perlindungan pelanggan yang dipersonalisasi secara real time untuk menghadapi ancaman penipuan berteknologi AI yang berkembang pesat.

Kemampuan Utama

Mesin Korelasi Ancaman Terpadu: Mengorelasikan intelijen ancaman di berbagai kanal, mencakup pengiriman pesan (SpamShield), suara (CallShield), data (Packet Core), serta ancaman berbasis URL (LinkShield). Mengorelasikan intelijen ancaman dari perlindungan pesan, perlindungan suara, aktivitas bidang data, intelijen pensinyalan, perilaku pelanggan, dan deteksi ancaman URL untuk mengidentifikasi serangan penipuan yang terkoordinasi secara real time.

Agen Keamanan AI & Komunikasi Terlindungi: Menyaring panggilan dari penelepon yang tidak dikenal, menganalisis niat penelepon, mendeteksi teknik manipulasi psikologis dan upaya penipuan buatan AI, serta memberikan transkrip dan panduan secara real time kepada pelanggan. Asisten AI dapat menentukan tujuan penelepon, mengidentifikasi perilaku mencurigakan, serta membantu pengguna menentukan tindakan yang tepat, seperti menjawab, memblokir, mengabaikan, mengalihkan panggilan, atau menerima pesan.

Perlindungan Panggilan Berkelanjutan: Untuk panggilan yang telah disetujui, Agen Keamanan AI dapat meneruskan penelepon kepada pelanggan sekaligus tetap memantau percakapan untuk mendeteksi indikasi penipuan yang mulai muncul. Jika terdeteksi aktivitas mencurigakan, seperti suara deepfake, upaya manipulasi psikologis, atau permintaan untuk memberikan informasi keuangan sensitif, agen ini dapat memperingatkan pelanggan secara real time.

Intelijen Pelanggan & Penilaian Reputasi: Membangun profil reputasi pelanggan dan perangkat secara dinamis menggunakan telemetri jaringan, intelijen penipuan, sinyal interaksi suara, data BSS, dan peristiwa SIM swap untuk mengidentifikasi perangkat yang telah disusupi, perilaku abnormal, peningkatan risiko penipuan, serta pola serangan yang baru muncul.

Deteksi Penipuan Adaptif Berbasis AI: Terus berkembang dengan menganalisis upaya penipuan yang baru teridentifikasi dan teknik serangan yang mulai muncul sehingga operator dapat tetap mengantisipasi ancaman berbasis AI yang sangat dinamis tanpa sepenuhnya mengandalkan aturan dan pola ancaman yang statis.

Penerapan Tanpa Gangguan: Diterapkan sebagai lapisan tambahan pada infrastruktur yang sudah ada tanpa memerlukan perubahan arsitektur, serta terintegrasi dengan platform manajemen penipuan Mavenir maupun pihak ketiga. Perlindungan juga diperluas dari deteksi di tingkat jaringan hingga ke interaksi setiap pelanggan.

Ilia Abramov, VP & General Manager, Security Business Unit, Mavenir: "Penipuan kini dapat menggunakan agen AI, memanfaatkan berbagai metode, dan menyasar korban secara sangat personal. Melalui NetAIShield dan agen AI Call Screening, Mavenir menghadirkan lapisan intelijen yang mampu mendeteksi setiap sinyal ancaman dan melindungi setiap pelanggan secara real time."

Bergabunglah dengan Mavenir di berbagai acara mendatang berikut untuk melihat cara NetAIShield membantu operator beralih dari pertahanan reaktif menuju perlindungan berteknologi AI:

FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In response to findings from the recent Gartner report on consumption-based AI pricing forecasting that usage-based models will account for over 35% of net new corporate legal tech spend by 2028, Dmitry Shubov Consulting has issued a strategic market advisory addressing commercial pricing friction for international software startups entering the United States.

Corporate legal departments and General Counsels are actively tightening procurement diligence to prevent unbudgeted AI cost surges, leaving expanding technology ventures from high-growth hubs across Southeast Asia exposed to prolonged sales cycles and stalled Master Services Agreement reviews due to opaque compute billing. Following these procurement demands, Dmitry Shubov Consulting outlines three commercial pricing frameworks foreign software providers are encouraged to establish to satisfy enterprise legal audits:

Hybrid Tier Structuring: Moving away from raw token pass-through models toward predictable hybrid contracts that combine baseline seat licensing with capped compute allowances, protecting enterprise legal departments against unexpected budget overruns.

Outcome-Based Cost Metering: Implementing granular cost-attribution logging that separates high-compute generative workflows from routine document management, allowing General Counsel to measure concrete return on investment per legal outcome.

Enterprise Consumption Guardrails: Equipping corporate buyers with administrative threshold controls, automated spend alerts, and departmental usage caps to ensure unmonitored internal AI queries cannot trigger unexpected monthly invoices.

"Great software will get an enterprise pilot scheduled, but ambiguous billing models will stop a contract cold at legal review," said Dmitry Shubov, Founder and CEO of Dmitry Shubov Consulting. "Corporate legal departments simply refuse to sign blank checks for variable AI usage. Inbound founders need to understand that transparent usage guardrails are not just an administrative detail, but a fundamental sales enabler in the U.S. market."

Navigating the U.S. corporate procurement landscape requires commercial alignment, pricing discipline, and structured market entry. Dmitry Shubov Consulting advises early-stage and expanding Southeast Asian technology startups on cross-border growth, commercial contract readiness, and enterprise compliance for U.S. buyers and accredited investors. For more information, reach out to Dmitry Shubov Consulting.

LONDON/HOUSTON/SINGAPORE, Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wood Mackenzie | www.woodmac.com

LONDON/HOUSTON/SINGAPORE, 14 September 2026 - New Wood Mackenzie research modelled three EU domestic gas production scenarios to 2050 and found a cumulative gap of close to 1,000 bcm between the low and high cases, with the outcome hinging on fiscal stability, permitting reform, and exploration success in the Black Sea and East Mediterranean.

Europe's options on gas are narrowing. Without new field investment, the EU will import over 98% of its gas by 2050. That is the central finding of a new Wood Mackenzie report, What could domestic gas do for EU energy security? The gap between doing nothing and maximising domestic production potential is roughly three years of current EU gas demand. The policy and investment decisions made in the next five years will determine which side of that gap the bloc lands on.

Europe's import dependency runs deep. The EU imports 85% of the gas it consumes today. That share stays broadly flat through the early 2030s. However, with Norwegian supply expected to come off plateau in the 2030s, North African volumes facing domestic demand pressure and Russian pipeline gas being phased out, LNG is filling the gap. Its share of EU supply could rise from around 40% today to 63% by 2050. Of that, 77% is expected to come from the United States.

Wood Mackenzie modelled three scenarios for EU member states with material upstream sectors.

*The low case is the baseline. No new field investments. Production falls from 43 bcm in 2028 to just 2 bcm by 2050. LNG covers the shortfall.

*The mid case reflects current policy and investment levels. Production holds near 40 bcm until 2038, adding 330 bcm, or 70% more than the low case. Yet domestic gas never covers more than 17% of demand across the period. Sustaining even that plateau requires replacing more than half the current producing base. The EU's exposure to the global market is left largely unchanged.

*The high case is the only scenario that materially changes the EU's position. With fiscal terms stabilised, permitting accelerated, and corporate constraints resolved, production reaches 77 bcm by 2042, meeting 38% of demand. Cumulative output reaches 1,400 bcm, displacing the equivalent of 615 LNG cargoes a year against the low case.

Exploration drives most of that upside. Of the 680 bcm separating the low and high cases, exploration accounts for 70%. The Black Sea and East Mediterranean hold 70% of that yet-to-find volume. Greece alone accounts for a third, as Energean and ExxonMobil are preparing to drill the country's first deepwater exploration well in 2027.

Cyprus sits outside these numbers. Wood Mackenzie modelled it separately as a maximum re-import potential of up to 340 bcm via Egypt, a 24% uplift on the high case. Not all of that volume is expected to reach Europe.

"The mid case is often where expectations settle, but it changes very little for the EU's strategic position, said Lewis Lawrence, Senior Research Analyst, Europe Upstream at Wood Mackenzie. "Sustaining today's output requires enormous investment just to stand still. The real question is whether governments are willing to create the conditions that make the high case possible, because the window is narrowing."

Key Details

Three scenarios to 2050: Without new investment, EU imports exceed 98% of demand by 2050. Current investment levels hold production near 40 bcm to 2038 but leave strategic import exposure largely unchanged. Only the high case materially shifts the EU's position, with production reaching 77 bcm by 2042, meeting 38% of demand, and displacing 615 LNG cargoes a year.

Exploration drives the upside: The gap between the low and high cases is close to 1,000 bcm; exploration accounts for 680 bcm of that, with 70% concentrated in the Black Sea and East Mediterranean. Greece alone holds a third of the yet-to-find potential.

Cyprus is additional upside: Modelled separately at a maximum re-import potential of 340 bcm via Egypt, a 24% uplift on the high case. Wood Mackenzie does not expect all volumes to reach Europe.

Cost competitiveness: US LNG delivered to northwest Europe breaks even 68% above Neptun Deep gas and 96% above new Norwegian gas.

Emissions case: Domestic gas carries a fraction of the emissions intensity of imported LNG. In the Netherlands, LNG provides 50% of gas supply but 88% of overall supply emissions intensity.

Background

European fiscal terms are competitive on headline attractiveness but repeatedly undermined by instability, with the EU's temporary solidarity contribution, introduced in 2022, still subject to legal challenge today. Policy diverges sharply across the bloc. East Mediterranean and Black Sea nations are competing to attract explorers. Denmark, France and Spain have legislated end dates for production and closed the door to new licences. Domestic gas will not make the EU self-sufficient, but stable fiscal terms and frontier exploration success could meaningfully reduce LNG reliance.

New ad spot, produced by Colin Jost's No Notes Productions, airs during NFL Monday Night Football, as part of the company's Zoom Ahead campaign

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zoom (NASDAQ: ZM) today introduced the next chapter of its Zoom Ahead marketing campaign with a new hero tv spot, "Zoom Got It Done." The commercial highlights how Zoom's AI-first platform helps finish the work that originates in conversations.

Across both traditional and digital media, the effort focuses on demonstrating Zoom's product breadth: an ecosystem that goes far beyond video meetings to include AI agents, automated note-taking, contact center solutions, a productivity suite, and more.

The new commercial picks up where last year's "I Use Zoom!" spot, featuring Bowen Yang, ended.

"The first ad showed that people prefer Zoom. This one shows why: Zoom actually helps users get work done," said Kimberly Storin, CMO at Zoom. "Only Colin Jost and Kate McKinnon could turn that into a punchline instead of a product demo."

Reframing Perception Through Comedy: The "Zoom Got It Done" Ad Spot

Kate McKinnon stars in the ad as an over-the-top CEO who orders her staff to find a way to destroy Zoom once and for all. But every scheme instead ends up proving the value of the Zoom platform in helping get things done - even its own destruction.

Produced in partnership with Colin Jost's No Notes Productions, the ad showcases a variety of Zoom use cases through a zany yet accurate comedic treatment, turning what could have been a feature readout into something clear, digestible, and funny.

"As someone who aspires to be an evil CEO someday, it was wonderful to live out my dream through Kate McKinnon in this Zoom campaign," said Colin Jost, founder of No Notes Productions.

"Zoom Got It Done" debuts during Week 1 of the NFL regular season on Monday Night Football, then continues across linear and connected TV, out-of-home, digital, and social placements. The wider Zoom Ahead marketing campaign also continues, featuring creator partnerships, new branded content assets, and Zoom's MLB sponsorship.

Defining Conversation to Completion

The goal of the Zoom Ahead campaign is to inform users of Zoom's new and extended product capabilities, a concept the company calls "conversation to completion."

Across tools like Meetings, Chat, Contact Center, and more, Zoom hosts millions of conversations every day. Through Zoom's advanced AI capabilities, users can now harness the context of these conversations, and use them to move work towards completion. This allows users to automate things like follow-up emails, meeting summaries, and reports, or even bring that context into 3rd party platforms.

About Zoom

Zoom (NASDAQ: ZM) is an AI-first work platform built for human connection, designed to move conversations to completion. From solopreneurs to global enterprises, customers use Zoom to communicate, collaborate, and get work done across meetings, chat, phone, contact center, events, and more, all supported by Zoom AI. Founded in 2011, Zoom is headquartered in San Jose, California. For more information, visit zoom.com.

New system combines X-ray microscopy and microCT for seamless multi-scale imaging in one connected workflow

ZEISS today introduced ZEISS VersaXRM 5 Insight, a hybrid 3D X-ray microscope designed to help researchers and engineers understand samples faster. Combining X-ray microscopy and microCT in a single platform, the system delivers multi-scale imaging, guided workflows, and automated AI-enabled reconstruction for efficient non-destructive 3D imaging.

Built for performance and engineered for value, ZEISS VersaXRM 5 Insight helps researchers and engineers in materials research, industrial inspection, and life sciences reduce tradeoffs between throughput, resolution, and usability.

Multi-scale imaging without workflow disruption

Researchers, engineers, and life scientists often need to examine complex samples at different length scales to reveal internal features that affect performance, behavior, or failure, or to understand the structure and spatial organization of biological specimens. ZEISS VersaXRM 5 Insight addresses this need by combining large field-of-view and high-resolution imaging in one system. Users can inspect larger samples, zoom into regions of interest, and capture detailed 3D insights without changing hardware configurations or interrupting their workflow or experiment.

The system combines the throughput, flexibility, and efficiency of microCT with the detailed imaging and insights of lab-based X-ray microscopy. This hybrid capability enables a unified workflow for imaging both large-scale structures and fine internal features while preserving sample integrity.

High-resolution imaging which preserves sample integrity

ZEISS VersaXRM 5 Insight includes Resolution at a Distance (RaaD), which enables high-resolution imaging of small features and internal defects within larger samples. By reducing the need to cut, trim, or refixture samples, the system helps users across science and industry save time, reduce preparation errors, and protect delicate or difficult-to-reproduce specimens.

This non-destructive imaging approach helps users identify regions of interest inside a sample before additional preparation or follow-up analysis. This enables more targeted investigations, reduces unnecessary sample processing, and improves confidence in inspection, research, and quality assurance applications.

Guided operation for faster, more reliable results

Productivity in 3D X-ray imaging depends on more than scan speed. ZEISS VersaXRM 5 Insight addresses setup time, operator variability, and workflow decisions with ZEN navx, an intuitive software environment with intelligent guidance and sample-aware navigation. This software simplifies setup, supports sample-specific imaging decisions, and protects both the sample and the system.

FAST Mode adds rapid imaging feedback for three-dimensional navigation, whole-part inspection, and intermediate-resolution scans. This helps users accelerate screening, positioning, and in-situ experiments while improving the overall time to results.

"For teams that need both day-to-day productivity and advanced 3D imaging capability, ZEISS VersaXRM 5 Insight offers a practical path forward," said Dr. Keith Duncan, Research Scientist and Director of X-ray Imaging at the Danforth Plant Science Center, Missouri, USA, after beta-testing the system. "The improved detector architecture, which combines a flat-panel detector with Resolution at a Distance (RaaD), delivers impressive image quality. It helps users move from overview to detail quickly while keeping samples intact and workflows streamlined."

Designed for research and industry

ZEISS VersaXRM 5 Insight supports diverse applications in materials research, industrial inspection, and life sciences. In materials research, it helps users investigate failure mechanisms, detect internal defects, and quantify microstructural evolution with in situ and 4D studies. In industrial workflows, it supports high-resolution part quality inspection, root-cause analysis in semiconductor and electronic packages, and yield improvement through deeper 3D insight across manufacturing, quality assurance, and failure analysis.

In life sciences, ZEISS VersaXRM 5 Insight enables researchers to visualize biological structures in 3D across multiple scales, identify regions of interest for follow-up imaging studies, and preserve valuable samples.

"ZEISS VersaXRM 5 Insight combines the flexibility of microCT, the detail of X-ray microscopy, and guided workflows in a single value-optimized platform," said Nicolas Gueninchault, Head of the X-ray Microscopy Field of Business at ZEISS Microscopy. "With this system, users can work more efficiently, protect valuable samples, and gain the 3D insight they need without being forced to choose between throughput, resolution, and ease of use."

New axial flux systems deliver efficient, compact and flexible solutions for propulsion, ePTO and hybrid applications.

Gateshead, U.K., and Atlanta, Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Turntide Technologies (Turntide), a global leader in electrification and hybridization solutions, will debut its Axial Flux Electric Drive Unit (EDU), electric power take-off (ePTO), and hybrid systems during IAA Transportation 2026 in Hannover, Germany.

From powering the vehicle to powering the work it performs, axial flux technology gives vehicle manufacturers a practical path to improve efficiency, reduce emissions and optimize performance.

For electrification, one size does not fit all. Manufacturers need flexible solutions that depend on the vehicle, duty cycle and job being performed. Turntide's portfolio of compact axial flux motors delivers a combination of power density, high performance and flexibility not achievable with conventional motor designs. They support a wide range of hybrid and electric applications.

Axial Flux EDU Simplifies Propulsion Integration

The Turntide Axial Flux EDU is a modular platform with a semi-integrated motor, inverter and differential designed to scale across off-highway, commercial and construction vehicles and equipment. Compared to a radial flux EDU, the Axial Flux EDU delivers 53% higher torque density with 58% less size and 37% less weight. The EDU offers simplified gear design, a shared cooling system and independent component serviceability to reduce downtime and maintenance costs. The fully validated platform is a highly efficient, space-saving solution that decreases the risk, time and cost for OEMs to bring new products to market.

The EDU was battle-tested at the 2026 King of the Hammers, an event designed to expose drivetrain limits through sustained vibration, load, dirt, dust and heat. The EDU endured more than 600 miles of tough desert terrain.

ePTO Systems Reduce Fuel Use and Engine Idling

For applications with significant idle time, such as cement mixers, refuse trucks, cranes, lifts and booms, eliminating engine operation during stationary work reduces fuel use and engine wear. The Turntide ePTO System pairs a torque-dense axial flux motor with power electronics to deliver auxiliary power without engine idling.

Full peak torque is available from 0 rpm, providing instant controllability and allowing pump speed and flow to be optimized independently of the drivetrain. With more than 90% peak system efficiency, the scalable 50-kilowatt (kW)/100-kW/150-kW architecture works across hybrid-electric-vehicle and battery-electric-vehicle drivetrains while reducing fuel use, maintenance costs and noise.

Flexible Hybrid Systems Improve Efficiency and Performance

Across on-highway, off-highway, marine and industrial sectors, duty cycles, infrastructure limitations and cost pressures are creating demand for flexible powertrain strategies. Hybridization gives manufacturers a practical way to reduce fuel consumption and emissions while extending the life of existing vehicle and equipment platforms.

Turntide's Hybrid Systems give OEMs a path to lower emissions while balancing efficiency, range and performance. The modular axial flux platform scales from 55 kW to 1 MW and supports series (extended range) and parallel hybrid architectures, with drop-in packaging that can simplify integration into new and existing vehicle platforms.

.Attractive Business Model / Investment: Tower Company model intended to deliver compounding economic value to satellite service providers as the user base grows by reducing each participant's share of satellite costs, improving spectrum efficiencies, and improving network performance and availability at scales otherwise beyond the reach of each individual operator; Compound growth model provides attractive return potential for additional strategic and financial partners as the system scales

PARIS, Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Space42 (ADX: SPACE42), the UAE-based AI-powered SpaceTech company, and Viasat, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a global leader in satellite and secure communications, today announced the signing of an agreement at World Space Business Week in Paris to formally establish Equatys, a shared space and ground infrastructure platform that will support the extension of mobile coverage and overlay in the places terrestrial networks cannot serve, including in coverage gaps in populated metro areas. Upon the formation of Equatys, Space42 and Viasat will commit to an initial equity contribution of up to USD1 billion.

Development of the initial constellation accelerates with the simultaneous signing of an agreement to step-up joint funding. Upon formation of Equatys, Viasat is expected to be appointed as the company's prime technology contractor.

The company is being established as global demand for satellite-enabled mobile connectivity accelerates. With 3GPP NTN standards enabling everyday smartphones and connected devices to access satellite networks, the addressable Direct-to-Device (D2D) and advanced MSS market is expected to expand significantly over the coming decades. Together, Viasat and Space42 bring unmatched global reach through commercial relationships with more than 400 mobile operators worldwide and access to the largest amount (>100MHz) of globally coordinated MSS spectrum available for D2D deployment, creating a uniquely scalable foundation for growth.

Equatys is designed to support the connection of smartphones, IoT devices, and other devices and terminals directly to satellites, giving mobile operators a way to offer voice, text, and data where cellular networks are otherwise unavailable or have low density. The agreement builds on work by Space42 and Viasat on the technical design and manufacture of the satellites, along with ecosystem progress in seamless terrestrial network integration, interoperability standards, and feedback from a number of mobile network operators and ecosystem participants. This is the next stage in Space42 and Viasat's roles as co-founders of Equatys, first announced in March 2025, when Space42 and Viasat began funded technical and commercial studies of shared non-terrestrial network (NTN) infrastructure, followed by the September 2025 announcement of their intention to form Equatys.

Equatys is built on a Tower Company model, a proven approach that helped the terrestrial mobile industry efficiently scale by sharing standardized and/or common infrastructure among all or many operators. Equatys will provide a neutral, shared layer of both satellites and ground infrastructure; by sharing infrastructure rather than duplicating it, ecosystem participants can reduce capital requirements, accelerate deployment, increase service availability, and maintain customer and commercial independence. Participating operating licensees sharing infrastructure can realize greater cost efficiency than is likely possible within their own geographic coverage area and/or spectrum authorizations - potentially rivalling or surpassing even the largest individual constellations.

Multiple operators can use the same platform while maintaining their own spectrum licensing rights, customers, and commercial relationships. The business model is open by design, so additional spectrum licensees and satellite operators can use the constellation, which supports high levels of spectrum aggregation, coordination and cooperation. The initial constellation is the first phase of an architecture designed to scale to 2,800 satellites across 60 orbital planes and three altitude layers, enabling densification without redesign as demand grows.

The company's funding is expected to come from a combination of founders' equity, third-party equity and debt financing sources. The model is anticipated to offer equity investors infrastructure-grade returns with appreciation potential, while phased equity offerings will allow additional strategic and financial partners to participate as the system scales. Additional licensee users of the system would not be required to invest in the system in order to use it.

Within this new company, each founding partner brings significant scale to the system. Space42 holds coordinated L-band spectrum rights across more than 160 markets and mobile operator relationships that extend the platform's commercial reach. Viasat is expected to serve as prime technology contractor, and holds coordinated MSS spectrum rights in the L-band globally and in the S-band in Europe. Together, Space42 and Viasat hold commercial agreements with more than 400 mobile operators worldwide and technical capability and access to operate across over 100 MHz of globally coordinated MSS spectrum for advanced MSS services and NTN D2D services.

Karim Michel Sabbagh, Managing Director of Space42, said: "With the signing of this agreement, Equatys takes off. For the first time, the satellite industry is building infrastructure the way the mobile industry thinks: shared, interoperable, standards-based, and designed for billions of devices rather than millions of subscribers. Space42 and Viasat have each brought what the other could not, and together we have assembled a differentiated capabilities system unique to the space industry. We have always known it was within our reach, and today we are proving it."

"We are creating a new infrastructure category for global D2D and advanced MSS connectivity, backed by unique spectrum assets, significant committed capital, and a business model proven to scale the mobile industry. Finalizing the formation of Equatys reflects our collective confidence in the strategic value and long-term financial merits of this venture to support a rapidly growing non-terrestrial market for emerging D2D NTN and advanced Mobile Satellite Services," said Mark Dankberg, Chairman and CEO of Viasat.

"By creating a system with state of the art technology, and mechanisms for neutral, shared, and trusted infrastructure access, Equatys will accelerate innovation in space-based connectivity, establish a scalable and interoperable architecture designed to support a full ecosystem of participants with choice and economies of scale, and deliver meaningful growth opportunities with attractive returns for investors and partners."

Industry Opportunity

The global D2D satellite connectivity market is projected to reach USD 30-70 billion by 2040, initially driven by the embedding of NTN support into 3GPP Release 17, the technical standard underpinning mobile networks globally, with even closer integration planned for future releases.

The standards shift means everyday smartphones and IoT devices can connect to satellite networks without specialized hardware, opening a market that no prior satellite generation could realistically serve.

Equity Framework

Upon the formation of Equatys, Space42 and Viasat will each commit to an initial equity contribution of USD 400 million, which is expected to be increased by an additional USD 200 million from Space42 in connection with a future equity funding round open to third-party investors, bringing the two parties' total equity contributions to up to USD1 billion.

The formation of the venture, constellation procurement and corresponding definitive agreements remain subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and the appointment of Viasat as the prime technology contractor. The companies intend to provide further updates as Equatys progresses toward those conditions.

About Equatys

Equatys will be an independent, neutral shared space and ground infrastructure platform for direct-to-device and advanced mobile satellite services licensees. Operating on a Tower Company model, Equatys is designed to provide compelling economic and performance benefits to global, regional, and national operators with appropriate MSS and/or SCS operating licenses.

It is intended to enable choice, interoperability and economically attractive NTN access for ecosystem participants. Equatys seeks to deliver compounding growth, as the ecosystem user base expands via access to globally coordinated spectrum, and to create sustainable shareholder value. The platform is being built on 3GPP NTN standards. For more information, visit www.equatys.com

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pardu Productions announced today that they published a report about the 1993 WWE Survivor Series. Marc Mysterio said Bret Hart's father told his grandfather after Survivor Series 1993 that "Walter's boy is coming," and that he wants a winner-take-all match against "the next Shawn Michaels".

The conversation took place at North Station after the Nov. 24, 1993, event at the Boston Garden. Mysterio's grandfather and Helen Hart were first cousins.

Mysterio, an Irish-Canadian multi-platinum recording artist and undefeated boxer with 83 million Amazon Music streams, was trained as a teenager in Malden, Massachusetts, by his great-uncle, WWE Hall of Famer Walter "Killer" Kowalski, in the same class as Frankie Kazarian. He has appeared on Netflix's "Trailer Park Boys." He is a cousin of Anderson Cooper. No match has been announced.

His planned finish is an off-the-ropes punch, an off-the-ropes "Piper" bulldog and a Sharpshooter. He called the combination the Boston Clover. He learned it on Kowalski's third-floor mats.

Kowalski and Stu Hart, Bret Hart's father, worked the same territory circuit from Calgary, Alberta, to New England.

Mutiara Pertiwi, S.Kep., sebagai Administrator Kesehatan Ahli Madya pada RSUD Bengkalis; serta sejumlah tenaga kesehatan lainnya.

Dalam sambutannya, Bupati Kasmarni menegaskan bahwa pelantikan tersebut bukan sekadar agenda rutin birokrasi, tetapi bagian dari upaya memperkuat tata kelola pemerintahan yang berintegritas dan berorientasi pada hasil.

Menurutnya, penempatan pejabat dilakukan melalui proses evaluasi kinerja dan uji kompetensi atau fit and proper test. Pertimbangan utama meliputi rekam jejak, kompetensi, serta kebutuhan organisasi dengan prinsip the right man on the right place.

"Semakin tinggi jabatan, semakin besar tanggung jawab. Semakin besar kewenangan, semakin kuat tuntutan untuk menghadirkan kinerja, integritas, dan keteladanan," ujar Kasmarni.

Ia juga mengingatkan seluruh pejabat agar meninggalkan budaya kerja yang hanya berorientasi pada penyelesaian administrasi atau sekadar menggugurkan kewajiban.

Menurut Kasmarni, keberhasilan birokrasi tidak diukur dari tebalnya laporan maupun besarnya anggaran yang terserap, melainkan dari dampak nyata yang dirasakan masyarakat.

Ia menekankan tiga indikator utama keberhasilan birokrasi, yakni penyelesaian masalah, kecerdasan pelayanan, dan hasil yang terukur.

"Seberapa banyak persoalan masyarakat yang dapat kita selesaikan, seberapa cepat perbaikan dan inovasi pelayanan diterapkan, serta setiap program harus memiliki output, outcome, dan impact yang jelas," tegasnya.

Kasmarni juga meminta jajaran Pemerintah Kabupaten Bengkalis mampu menghadapi tantangan pemerintahan yang semakin kompleks, mulai dari keterbatasan ruang fiskal, perkembangan teknologi, hingga tuntutan masyarakat yang semakin kritis.

Birokrasi, katanya, tidak boleh kaku dan terjebak dalam rutinitas. Setiap aparatur dituntut bekerja lebih cepat, responsif, adaptif, sekaligus tetap menjunjung tinggi integritas dan etika kepemimpinan.

"Jangan pernah menjadikan jabatan sebagai tujuan, tetapi jadikan jabatan sebagai amanah untuk memberikan manfaat sebesar-besarnya kepada masyarakat," pesannya.

Turut hadir dalam pelantikan tersebut Wakil Bupati Bengkalis H. Bagus Santosa, Sekda Bengkalis dr. Ersan Saputra TH., Kepala BKPP Djamaluddin, Kapolres Bengkalis AKBP Fahrian Saleh Siregar, Pasi Intel Kodim 0303 Bengkalis Lettu Inf. Agus Dani, Kakan Kemenag Bengkalis H. Khaidir, serta sejumlah pejabat di lingkungan Pemerintah Kabupaten Bengkalis dan tamu undangan lainnya.(Rul)

Bengakalis?Kabupaten Bengkalis kembali menunjukkan perannya sebagai salah satu daerah strategis dalam pengembangan sumber daya manusia dan teknologi kemaritiman. Tahun ini, Bengkalis dipercaya menjadi tuan rumah Kontes Kapal Indonesia (KKI) Tingkat Nasional 2026 yang mempertemukan talenta terbaik dari perguruan tinggi se-Indonesia.

KKI 2026 resmi dibuka Bupati Bengkalis Hj. Kasmarni di Lapangan Tugu Bengkalis, Senin (14/9/2026). Kompetisi yang berlangsung hingga 17 September 2026 itu diikuti 129 tim dari 52 perguruan tinggi dari berbagai daerah di Indonesia.

Pembukaan ditandai dengan penabuhan kompang oleh Bupati Bengkalis bersama Wakil Bupati Bengkalis H. Bagus Santoso, Direktur Jenderal Guru, Tenaga Kependidikan, dan Pendidikan Guru Nunuk Suryani yang mewakili Menteri Pendidikan Tinggi, Sains, dan Teknologi RI, serta Kepala Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan Provinsi Riau Dr. Indra Putra yang mewakili Plt. Gubernur Riau.

Sejumlah unsur Forkopimda dan pejabat terkait turut hadir dalam pembukaan tersebut, di antaranya jajaran TNI, Polri, Kejaksaan Negeri Bengkalis, Pengadilan Negeri Bengkalis, TNI AL, Direktur Politeknik Negeri Bengkalis Ir. Johny Caster, Sekretaris Daerah Kabupaten Bengkalis dr. Ersan Saputra, serta sejumlah kepala perangkat daerah dan pimpinan badan usaha milik daerah.

Dalam sambutannya, Kasmarni menyampaikan apresiasi dan terima kasih kepada Kementerian Pendidikan Tinggi, Sains, dan Teknologi RI yang telah memberikan kepercayaan kepada Politeknik Negeri Bengkalis (Polbeng) sebagai tuan rumah KKI 2026.

Menurutnya, kepercayaan tersebut bukan hanya sebuah kehormatan, tetapi juga amanah sekaligus momentum bagi Bengkalis untuk menunjukkan kemampuan dalam menjadi tuan rumah kegiatan nasional secara profesional.

"Momentum ini menjadi motivasi bagi kita untuk terus mendorong Politeknik Negeri Bengkalis agar semakin mampu melahirkan inovasi dan sumber daya manusia unggul yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan daerah, dunia usaha, dan dunia industri," ujar Kasmarni.

Ia menegaskan, KKI 2026 tidak semestinya hanya dipandang sebagai kompetisi merancang dan membangun kapal. Ajang tersebut harus menjadi ruang strategis untuk mengembangkan gagasan, teknologi, kreativitas, sekaligus memperkuat ekosistem kemaritiman nasional.

"Kita ingin KKI ini tidak berhenti sebagai sebuah kompetisi, tetapi menjadi ajang strategis untuk mendorong inovasi teknologi kemaritiman, meningkatkan kualitas sumber daya manusia, serta memperkuat kolaborasi antara pemerintah, perguruan tinggi, dunia usaha dan dunia industri," tegasnya.

Kasmarni menyebut posisi Bengkalis sebagai daerah kepulauan dan pesisir memberikan konteks yang kuat bagi pengembangan teknologi kemaritiman. Karena itu, ia berharap KKI 2026 dapat melahirkan desain dan teknologi kapal yang unggul secara teknis, tangguh, aman, efisien, serta mampu menjawab kebutuhan Indonesia sebagai negara maritim.

"Dari Bengkalis, kita berharap lahir gagasan-gagasan besar dan inovasi teknologi yang dapat memberikan kontribusi nyata bagi kemajuan kemaritiman Indonesia," harapnya.

Kepada seluruh peserta, Kasmarni berpesan agar KKI 2026 tidak semata-mata dijadikan arena untuk mengejar kemenangan. Para peserta diharapkan memanfaatkan momentum tersebut untuk memperluas wawasan, membangun jejaring, bertukar pengalaman, dan membuka peluang kolaborasi antarmahasiswa maupun perguruan tinggi.

Ia juga mengingatkan pentingnya membangun karakter dalam menghadapi tantangan masa depan.

"Tanamkan dalam diri kalian tiga hal, yakni ilmu yang kuat, inovasi yang berani, dan karakter yang tangguh. Sebab, teknologi tanpa karakter dapat kehilangan arah, sementara kecerdasan tanpa keberanian untuk berkarya tidak akan melahirkan perubahan," pesannya.

Kasmarni berharap para peserta KKI 2026 mampu menjadi generasi muda yang tidak hanya mengikuti perkembangan teknologi, tetapi juga berani menciptakan teknologi dan menghadirkan solusi bagi berbagai persoalan bangsa.

Mengakhiri sambutannya, Kasmarni mengucapkan selamat bertanding kepada seluruh kontingen. Ia meminta peserta menjunjung tinggi sportivitas, mengutamakan keselamatan, menjaga kebersamaan, serta memberikan karya dan inovasi terbaik selama kompetisi berlangsung.

"Selamat berkompetisi. Tunjukkan kemampuan terbaik, junjung tinggi sportivitas, utamakan keselamatan, dan jadikan Bengkalis sebagai ruang untuk melahirkan inovasi terbaik bagi Indonesia," tutupnya.
