Foshan – September 30, 2026 -- Transmart Industrial Limited is expanding its push into North America, betting that ultra-thin nanocrystalline ribbon technology will capture demand from AI data centers and power grid upgrades as U.S. electricity consumption enters its strongest four-year growth streak since 2000.

Transmart manufactures nanocrystalline ribbon at 12 to 14 micrometers, a thickness achieved by only a small number of manufacturers worldwide

The thinner ribbon reduces eddy-current losses at high switching frequencies, letting engineers design transformers, inductors and filters that run cooler while shrinking in size and weight for a given power rating. Transmart's self-developed, patented production lines cover precision slitting, automatic winding, vacuum annealing and multi-wire cutting, giving the company direct control over ribbon dimensions, magnetic properties and core geometry.

Shenzhen, China – September 30, 2026 -- MemoMind, the AI hardware brand incubated by projector maker XGIMI, has rolled out a software update for its MemoMind One smart glasses that expands live two-way translation to 53 languages and opens the second phase of developer access.

Translation Coverage Expands to 53 Languages Including Urdu, Tamil and Arabic

MemoMind One now supports live, two-way translation across 53 languages, adding Urdu, Tamil, Gujarati, Nepali and Arabic through firmware-side support, extending real-time communication to hundreds of millions of additional speakers.

Los Angeles – – September 30, 2026 -- Media artist Refik Anadol has installed 84 synchronized Epson EB-PQ2220B 4K laser projectors to power Gallery A of DATALAND, the world's first Museum of AI Arts, which opened in Los Angeles in June 2026.

Data Pavilion delivers nearly 700 million pixels across mirrored architecture

The installation, known as the Data Pavilion, combines 84 units of Epson's 20,000-lumen projectors to generate over 1.5 million lumens and nearly 700 million pixels, transforming walls, floors, ceilings and mirrored columns into a continuous canvas. Camera-assisted software calibrates, aligns and edge-blends all 84 projectors into a single unified image in real time.

Seoul – September 29, 2026 -- South Korean automotive electronics firm AP MOBILITY has shipped approximately 1,100 units of its S KEY LITE smart key system to Taiwanese distributors between the second half of 2025 and August 2026, forming the foundation for a broader push into the global automotive aftermarket.

The company is now expanding its overseas product lineup beyond smart keys to include MAX PRO, an AI-based 360-degree around-view solution, and AB LIGHT, a pedal misapplication prevention system.

Kista, Sweden – September 29, 2026 -- Sivers Semiconductors AB has called an Extraordinary General Meeting for 22 October 2026 to replace auditor Deloitte AB with Ernst & Young AB, a move tied to the company's plan for a dual listing on U.S. capital markets expected in the first half of 2027.

Nomination committee cites EU rotation rule and US listing prep for auditor switch

Deloitte has served as Sivers' auditor for ten years, the maximum term allowed under Article 17 of EU Regulation No 537/2014 for public-interest entities. The Audit Committee recommended the change, which the Nomination Committee approved unanimously, framing EY's experience with SEC reporting requirements and U.S. capital markets activity for Swedish listed companies as the deciding factor. The Nomination Committee stated the switch does not stem from any disagreement over accounting or financial reporting.

Edinburgh, Scotland – – September 29, 2026 -- Dukosi Ltd has moved its DK-NFLNK contactless communication solution from proof-of-concept to full product availability, opening customer sampling and evaluation kits for battery developers across electric vehicles, industrial, marine, robotics, energy storage, telecom infrastructure and AI data center applications.

Dukosi ships DK-NFLNK samples and evaluation kits to key customers

The solution, first shown as a proof-of-concept at embedded world in March, is now available for battery system design work. It targets manufacturers using traditional multi-channel analog front end (AFE) architectures who want to eliminate wiring and connector failure points without redesigning battery hardware.

Kyoto – September 29, 2026 -- Nuvoton Technology Corporation Japan (NTCJ) will begin sampling its KA85010UA battery monitoring IC in January 2027, a 26-cell chip that integrates electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) directly on-chip while cutting PCB temperature rise during measurements by approximately 93% compared with conventional methods.

Inductor-based design slashes power loss and heat by 93%

The KA85010UA replaces the industry-standard resistor method with NTCJ's proprietary inductor approach for EIS measurement, reducing both energy loss and PCB temperature rise by roughly 93%, according to company evaluations. The lower thermal footprint allows EIS functionality to be embedded directly into automotive batteries and energy storage systems without dedicated external measurement equipment.

Tokyo – – September 29, 2026 -- Advanet Inc., a member of the Eurotech Group, has launched three new industrial computing products built on Renesas Electronics' RZ/G3L MPU, targeting OEMs in HMI, industrial automation, edge computing and building automation.

Three-tier platform spans module, motherboard and box PC

The lineup consists of the Adsmc7101 SMARC module, the AdiMB7103 industrial motherboard and the AdiCS7102 industrial Box PC, all designed, developed and manufactured in Japan on a shared hardware and software platform. The structure lets customers move from a System-on-Module to a fully integrated system without redesigning core architecture, cutting development risk for long-lifecycle deployments.

Seoul – – September 29, 2026 -- SEMIFIVE has signed a contract worth approximately KRW 70.3 billion ($52 million) with a U.S.-based AI fabless company to develop a next-generation AI inference accelerator, marking the South Korean custom ASIC provider's largest single contract to date.

Deal size dwarfs prior order volumes

The contract alone equals more than 40% of SEMIFIVE's total 2025 orders of KRW 168.4 billion and roughly 60% of the KRW 118.9 billion in new orders booked during the first half of 2026. It also marks the company's first "Spec Hand-off" engagement in North America.

Delray Beach, Fla. – – September 28, 2026 -- The global micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) market is projected to grow from USD 19.06 billion in 2026 to USD 25.03 billion by 2032, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%, according to MarketsandMarkets.

Microspeakers segment to post 18.4% CAGR through 2032

Among sensor types, microspeakers are expected to grow fastest at 18.4% CAGR between 2026 and 2032, outpacing broader market gains. Radio frequency actuators are forecast to grow approximately 6.3% over the same period, while the telecom vertical is set to expand at roughly 12.2% CAGR, driven by 5G infrastructure rollouts and advanced sensing deployments.
