Knowles Launches A-Series Attenuators Covering DC to 20 GHz

Itasca, Illinois – September 30, 2026 -- Knowles Corporation (NYSE:KN) has introduced its new ATT A-Series Attenuators, expanding its RF portfolio to position the company as a one-stop source for high-performance RF signal chain components.

New attenuators deliver DC-20 GHz coverage in a compact SMT package

The A-Series uses precision thin-film resistor technology on a ceramic substrate, measuring just 0.080" x 0.065" x 0.012" (2.03 x 1.65 x 0.30 mm). The product line offers standard attenuation values from 0 dB to 20 dB with a power handling rating up to 6.5 W CW at 100°C and an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Europe's Grid Swings From Negative Prices to €210/MWh as Storage Demand Surges

Munich – – September 30, 2026 -- Germany's day-ahead power prices spiked to around €210/MWh during summer heatwaves this year, levels typically seen only in winter, according to LSEG data cited by Reuters, even as the same market recorded 573 hours of negative wholesale prices in 2025.

Heat and oversupply pushed Europe's power market to opposite extremes within hours

Rising cooling demand collided with reduced nuclear output caused by high river temperatures and low water levels, while weak wind conditions and lower thermal efficiency tightened supply further. Hours later, the same grids faced the reverse problem: too much electricity. The International Energy Agency found negative-price hours accounted for roughly 6% of the year in 2025 across Germany, France, Spain and the Netherlands.

Li-S Energy Battery Powers Pegasus Drone's Near 2-Hour Flight

Brisbane – September 30, 2026 -- The EATP Pegasus long endurance drone completed a nearly two-hour test flight covering more than 75 kilometres on a single Li-S Energy lithium sulfur battery pack, landing safely with battery capacity to spare.

Pegasus battery delivers 80% more range than comparable lithium polymer packs

On a same cell weight basis, Li-S Energy's 382 Wh lithium sulfur battery packs delivered 80% more range and flight time than an equivalent high-performance professional lithium polymer UAV battery pack, according to the company. The twin-motor, five-metre wingspan aircraft combines V-TOL Aerospace's airframe and power systems, Li-S Energy's battery packs and battery management system, and a perovskite solar array fabricated by Halocell Energy.

CUJO AI Launches Tool to Pinpoint Proxy-Hijacked Home Devices

Los Angeles – September 30, 2026 -- CUJO AI has introduced a new network intelligence capability that identifies the exact device inside a subscriber's home being used as a residential proxy, closing a detection gap that previously left operators able only to flag suspicious IP addresses without knowing which device was compromised.

New tool pairs device-level detection with remediation guidance and real-time alerts

The capability runs at the home gateway, identifying which subscriber network is hosting proxy activity and pinpointing the specific device generating it. It classifies the activity type, such as ad fraud or malware, and delivers device-specific remediation steps alongside real-time notifications to operators.

AppZen Launches AI Agents to Automate Corporate Card Compliance

San Jose – September 30, 2026 -- AppZen has launched Autonomous Cards, an AI agent layer that automates compliance, monitoring and spend intelligence for enterprise corporate card programs, as commercial card volume in the U.S. hit $2.23 trillion in 2024, up 4.5% year-over-year, according to the Nilson Report.

AppZen deploys AI agents to process transactions without replacing existing card infrastructure

Autonomous Cards connects directly to companies' existing purchasing, virtual, fleet, ghost, and lodge card programs, keeping current banks and issuers intact while adding a unified AI and compliance layer. The system continuously monitors eligible transactions, using card data, merchant details, Level 3 detail, supporting documents and company policy to determine what was purchased and whether it complies with internal rules.

Servier Standardizes Data Across 80+ Countries With Veeva OpenData

Barcelona – September 30, 2026 -- Servier is standardizing customer reference data across more than 80 countries using Veeva OpenData, part of a global push to build an AI-ready data foundation for its commercial and medical teams.

Servier scales AI infrastructure after prior success with Veeva Link Key People

The French pharmaceutical company, governed by a Foundation, is harmonizing customer reference data globally to create a unified semantic layer that connects with Veeva Link. Liam Hanrahan, director of world operations excellence at Servier, said the move goes beyond process improvement, calling it the construction of a global data foundation designed to redefine how the company operates and scale AI across its affiliates.

TrackVia Launches AI Layer IRIS, MCP Support, Rebuilt Android App

Denver – September 30, 2026 -- TrackVia has expanded its Field Operations Intelligence platform with a new artificial intelligence layer called IRIS, enterprise AI connectivity, a rebuilt Android application and a modernized web interface, targeting organizations managing complex field operations across construction, manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, education and government.

Skilled-trade labor shortage drives platform upgrade

An August 2026 Lightcast analysis found roughly three open skilled-trade jobs for every qualified worker available to fill them. TrackVia CEO Aylin Basom said the company is responding to that gap by investing across AI, mobility, user experience, integrations and enterprise readiness rather than adding a single AI feature.

Epson Deploys 84 Laser Projectors for Anadol's AI Art Museum DATALAND

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.

AGILINK Robotic Hand Masters Silk Embroidery, Hits 15,000 Units Shipped

Suzhou – – September 30, 2026 -- Chinese robotics firm AGILINK has shipped more than 15,000 dexterous robotic hands since spinning out from AGIBOT in January 2026, a scale-up that coincides with a demonstration of its OmniHand 3 Ultra performing traditional Suzhou embroidery.

Master craftswoman trains robotic hand on silk-thread techniques

Fu Xianghong, a Suzhou embroidery master, taught the OmniHand 3 Ultra foundational stitching skills including separating silk threads, threading a needle, stretching fabric on an embroidery hoop and stitching. Silk thread bends, slips and changes shape with slight contact variation, requiring one finger to isolate strands while others maintain tension, and opposing fingertips to twist thread without losing grip.
