Product Launch

Hauppauge – November 07, 2026 -- Sensitron Semiconductor has launched the SPHM/SEHM Series, a family of programmable solid state power controllers (SSPCs) for 270VDC distribution. Each module switches, protects and monitors up to 16 loads, with total capacity of 160A, replacing discrete circuit breakers, solid state relays and system monitors.

Each module offers 16 channels of 1A to 10A each

The microcontroller-based, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) design provides 16 independently controlled high-side channels, each programmable from 1A to 10A. Channels can be paralleled to drive higher-current loads.

Protection circuits limit inrush and EMI

The modules use true I2t protection with thermal memory, instant-trip capability and a trip-free reset circuit. Soft turn-on and turn-off limit inrush current and electromagnetic interference.

YANCHENG – November 07, 2026 -- FAW Bestune delivered the first 500 JOYEE N01 electric vehicles to African customers on October 28, the opening tranche of a 2,000-unit first batch of overseas orders, as global mass production of the model began.

FAW launches global production of the JOYEE N01 at its Yancheng branch

The launch ceremony took place at the Yancheng Branch of China FAW. The event marked the model's official entry into the global market.

JOYEE N01 builds on a Bestune Xiaoma line with nearly 300,000 users

The JOYEE N01 is an upgrade of the BESTUNE XIAOMA, which has been recognized by nearly 300,000 users since its 2024 launch. The N01 keeps the rounded body lines and wide choice of exterior colors of its predecessor, aimed at young families. It has a four-door layout for rear-seat access.

LAS VEGAS – November 07, 2026 -- CassTime has launched an AI-driven "T+D Solution" that combines digital parts trade with localized repair services. The system is already operating in Saudi Arabia, where its partner's Tamam platform handles business for nearly half of the country's insurance companies.

Li Li, CEO of International Business at CassTime, presented the offering at the 2026 CassTime Partner Conference. The announcement follows AAPEX 2026 in Las Vegas, which drew more than 45,000 professionals from 128 countries and regions and over 2,500 exhibitors.

CHICAGO – November 07, 2026 -- IBM, the University of Chicago, the State of Illinois and Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) have unveiled an IBM Quantum System Two in Chicago. It is IBM's first quantum computer in Illinois and the most advanced system the company offers.

The machine runs on IBM Quantum Nighthawk, the most powerful quantum chip IBM has built. It is operational at Hyde Park Labs, hosted by the University of Chicago, and will move to IQMP once construction of the campus is complete.

System Two anchors the National Quantum Algorithm Center

The system will serve as the anchor machine for IQMP's National Quantum Algorithm Center (NQAC), which Illinois Governor JB Pritzker established in 2024 with IBM as a leading member. Scientists, universities, national laboratories, startups and enterprises already work with IBM inside NQAC to develop algorithms and applications.

Munich – November 06, 2026 -- Cavli Wireless will unveil its P16QS LTE Cat 1bis system-on-module and the Cortex AI firmware assistant at electronica 2026, running November 10-13 in Munich. The company says Cortex AI aims to cut IoT development cycles from months to weeks, depending on project complexity and deployment requirements.

P16QS packs payment-grade security into a 40 x 30 mm module

The P16QS targets payment terminals, connected soundboxes, low-cost instrument clusters, vehicle telematics and asset tracking. It runs a 32-bit RISC-V processor at 325 MHz with RTOS support. LTE Cat 1bis delivers peak speeds of 10 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up.

The module adds Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4, an integrated secure element, and interfaces for NFC, smart cards and magnetic-stripe readers. Multi-constellation GNSS and an integrated eSIM are optional. The LGA package measures 40.0 x 30.0 x 2.7 mm.

LOS ANGELES – November 06, 2026 -- Deep Principle released Hydrogen-1.0, an open-weight scientific model that reached a mean best-so-far HOMO–LUMO gap of 4.318 eV after five rounds of transition metal complex design, against 3.689 eV for GPT-6-Astra and 3.353 eV for Kimi-K3, according to the company's own evaluation.

The model was introduced on November 4, 2026. It helps chemistry and materials teams plan experiments, run computational workflows and search for candidates with target properties. Researchers can access it through Deep Principle's AI Scientist, Mira, as well as through model downloads and an API.

Redmond – November 06, 2026 -- Halfpricesoft.com has released ez1099 2026 with built-in direct filing through the IRS Information Returns Intake System (IRIS), removing the need for businesses to obtain an IRS Transmitter Control Code (TCC) before e-filing 1099s.

Halfpricesoft transmits returns on the filer's behalf, bypassing what the company describes as a weeks-long IRS application and verification cycle. The release comes as the IRS FIRE system is set to be retired on December 31, 2026.

ez1099 2026 adds Form 1099-DA support for digital asset reporting

The version is available for the 2027 tax season. It supports Form 1099-DA reporting of digital asset transactions, crypto sales and broker exchanges under IRS rules. Direct transmission carries forward, so forms are submitted from the software without external portal uploads.

Beijing – November 06, 2026 -- iQIYI used its NadouPro AI platform to recreate "Visiting Shanghai after Sixty Years", a 1938 film lost for nearly 90 years, with an eight-person team in two months. The project is shortlisted for the "2026 Future Images AI Unit" at the 39th Golden Rooster Awards, one of China's most prestigious film honors.

Team rebuilds film from stills, posters and newspaper clippings

The team at the iQIYI-XMU Joint Laboratory of Film Restoration had no surviving prints, reels or scripts of one of China's earliest science-fiction works, a comedy imagining life sixty years ahead. Instead of repairing damaged footage, the team generated the film from scratch. Its only guides were production still-photos, posters and newspaper clippings.

SHENZHEN – November 06, 2026 -- Tencent Cloud Enterprise (TCE) has launched a private cloud that starts at eight servers for full-stack deployments and three servers for AI-only entry, aimed at regulated industries that want to run agentic AI inside their own boundaries. The company announced the Full-Stack Intelligent AI Suite and Lite Deployment at the 2026 Tencent Global Digital Ecosystem Summit, alongside joint research with Gartner and Omdia.

Four-layer AI suite keeps data, model weights and inference traffic inside the customer boundary

The suite spans a converged compute, storage and networking foundation; a model service layer built on TokenHub, a private MaaS platform for LLM services; an agent runtime layer with a cloud-native sandbox, egress control and identity credentials; and an agent application layer. Customers can enter at any layer and expand upward.

SAN FRANCISCO – November 06, 2026 -- Notta, an AI notetaker and transcription platform, opened U.S. preorders for its Memo Pro portable AI voice recorder at $189, doubling onboard storage to 64 GB and the bundled monthly transcription allowance from 300 to 600 minutes.

The device ships in Space Black and Silver Gray, with deliveries expected to begin in early December 2026.

Memo Pro adds a color display and built-in USB-C to the original design

The new model carries a 0.95-inch color display showing recording status, duration and battery level. A short button press marks key moments, such as a client confirming a budget, for later review in the transcript. A built-in USB-C port replaces the dedicated charging connection and also connects to a computer to transfer recordings through Notta Web.
