San Jose – October 13, 2026 -- Texas Instruments (Nasdaq: TXN) unveiled the ADC34DSO75, a 3 gigasamples-per-second analog-to-digital converter that it says enables 24/7, low-power, event-based remote monitoring at nanosecond resolution, thousands of times faster than current solutions.

The company debuted the device at the Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit alongside two other analog products aimed at AI data center power instability, inadequate real-time monitoring and signal degradation. TI says these problems can lead to costly downtime.

ADC34DSO75 targets nanosecond power-rail glitches that cause downtime

TI says existing monitoring tools often miss nanosecond-level power-rail glitches behind unplanned outages. The ADC34DSO75 combines ultra-high-speed sampling with on-chip digital signal processing in a small form factor to detect and capture transient fault events in real time.

Beijing – October 13, 2026 -- Benewake has launched the NOVA20, a solid-state multi-point LiDAR that weighs less than 5g and draws less than 1W, built to cover the one-meter zone around robots where existing sensor stacks leave gaps.

NOVA20 delivers 20-point sensing across a 40° field of view

The sensor covers a detection range of 0.05-1m, rated at 1m against 10% reflectivity targets under 100 klux ambient light. It has no mechanical moving components. It outputs physical distance data directly and generates no 2D images, which Benewake says reduces image data collection and host-level vision processing requirements.

The compact form factor allows mounting on the chassis, body, wrist, waist, knee and ankle of a robotic platform.

Benewake targets three blind spots in current robot perception

Benewake identifies three limitations in existing architectures:

Boston – October 13, 2026 -- Flexcompute has secured strategic investment from Samsung Ventures and Applied Ventures, the venture arm of Applied Materials, to scale its Physics World Model, an AI system that predicts design behavior by learning the laws of physics. The company did not disclose the investment amount, and other investors also participated.

Flexcompute solves a 5-billion-DOF chip package warpage model in minutes

Flexcompute reports that it solved a 5-billion degree-of-freedom warpage model for a full advanced semiconductor package within 2% of commercial finite-element results, in minutes. The package contained more than 800,000 solder joints, an ASIC and 32 optical engines. The company says this is the kind of problem traditional simulation cannot reach.

Olathe, Kan. – October 13, 2026 -- Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) won three awards and placed No. 4 on the Soundings Trade Only Top 10 Most EPIC Companies list at the 2026 International BoatBuilders' Exhibition and Conference (IBEX), citing 15 product launches in the eligibility period.
