Product Launch

LAS VEGAS – October 30, 2026 -- Samyang Corporation is introducing a tapioca-based resistant dextrin to the North American market at SupplySide Global 2026, adding a non-corn option to its existing corn-based fiber line.

Samyang adds tapioca-based fiber to its corn-derived resistant dextrin range

The company is targeting customers seeking alternatives to corn-derived ingredients. Jung Jisuk, Head of the Food Business Unit, said diverse ingredient selection criteria make integrated solutions essential.

Samyang also presents kestose, a crystalline dietary fiber, extending its fiber applications beyond the powder and liquid formats it already offers. Kestose is a fructooligosaccharide (FOS) and a prebiotic. According to Samyang, it absorbs little moisture, which limits clumping, and dissolves readily in water.

SAN DIEGO – October 29, 2026 -- Sony Electronics will sell its RIALTO 65 Camera Extension System (CBK-6510XS) for the VENICE 2 CineAlta camera at an MSRP of $80,000 USD ($113,800 CAD), with availability tentatively set for the first half of 2027.

The system adds a 65mm-class sensor to VENICE 2 and is among the largest sensors in commercially available cinema cameras, based on Sony's own research as of October 2026. VENICE 2 bodies need dedicated firmware (Version 6.00 or later) to run it.

Milwaukee – October 29, 2026 -- Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK) has expanded its SecureOT cybersecurity offering with OEM-focused capabilities, as machine builders face Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and Machinery Regulation (MR) compliance deadlines in 2026 and 2027.

Rockwell survey finds 63% of OEMs expect cyber risks to continue

According to Rockwell's OEM Advantage Playbook, nearly two in five OEMs are already navigating evolving compliance requirements. Another 63% expect cyber risks to continue. Many still lack visibility into their current readiness and the steps needed to close gaps, the company said.

SecureOT Platform adds machine-level inventories and compliance reporting

The new capabilities run on the SecureOT Platform and combine technology with advisory services. They include:

Jay, Oklahoma – October 29, 2026 -- America's Outdoor Adventure Park, relaunched from a shuttered off-road park, reached $6 million in revenue in 2026 and is midway through a $30 million build, according to founder and CEO Lorenzo Ayres, who has launched LorenzoAyres.com to document his investing and operating approach.

Ayres turned a revenue-less park into a $6 million resort operation

In 2025, Ayres acquired MidAmerica Outdoors, a shuttered off-road park in Jay with no meaningful revenue and amenities in disrepair. The park generated $1.5 million in its first year under his ownership. After he repositioned it as an all-inclusive resort, revenue reached $6 million in 2026. Ayres expects the operating business to finish the year above that figure.

Organic video content from the park has drawn more than 250 million views, reached more than 100 million people, and built an audience of nearly 1 million followers across platforms.

REDWOOD CITY – October 29, 2026 -- Spacelift has launched Spacelift Flows, extending its infrastructure orchestration platform from deployment into day 2 operations, the phase in which platform teams run, maintain and troubleshoot infrastructure already in production. The product is free for existing customers through the end of the year, with commercial pricing and packaging due in Q1 2027.

Spacelift renames its core product Spacelift Deploy and adds Flows for operations

The IaC and GitOps deployment component is now called Spacelift Deploy, while Flows covers operations. Spacelift Intelligence, an AI layer that works through natural language, spans both components. The company says the platform now manages the full infrastructure lifecycle on a single control plane with one governance layer.

Existing customers see no change in functionality, contracts or access, and can use Flows immediately.

SAN FRANCISCO – October 29, 2026 -- Raven Resonance opened pre-orders for Raven Prism, a standalone Linux computer built into prescription-style eyewear, with a fully refundable $49 deposit and first shipments to early adopters expected in January 2027.

The company is billing the device as the first "Ambient Computer." Pre-orders follow its public debut and demos at Augmented World Expo (AWE) 2026. Raven Prism targets creative professionals, makers, developers and enterprise users.

Raven Prism runs native Linux on a quad-core ARM chip without a smartphone

The device runs RavenOS, the company's Linux-based operating system, on a quad-core 64-bit ARM processor. It supports native Linux applications, SSH access and developer customization, and gives low-level access to the operating system. More than 25 applications ship through its own app store.

DALLAS – October 29, 2026 -- Consultancy Turner, Mason & Company has published four Fall 2026 Outlooks on the energy market. They cover crude and refined products, renewable fuels regulation, heavy crude and worldwide refinery construction.

The Dallas- and Houston-based firm issues its Outlooks each spring and fall. They combine market data, project intelligence and fundamental analysis to assess supply and demand, trade flows, regulatory developments, refining margins and investment trends.

Heavy crude analysis centers on Canadian growth, TMX flows and Venezuela

The Global Heavy Crude Oil Market Outlook evaluates regional production and export availability. It covers Canadian growth, flows linked to the TMX expansion and the potential recovery of Venezuelan production.

Toronto – October 29, 2026 -- Crown Capital, a management company for roofing-related businesses, reports 15% overall savings and $150,000 in potential fraudulent fuel spending identified over 90 days after adopting Element Pay, a cardless fuel payment solution launched by Element Fleet Management Corp. (TSX: EFN).

Crown Capital also cut the time spent helping crews resolve fuel-payment issues by 25%. Element Pay is run by the company's Element Mobility unit and is designed to replace physical fuel cards.

Vehicle authorizes each fuel transaction instead of a card

Element Pay uses the vehicle to initiate and authorize direct-pay transactions. A driver cannot independently authorize a payment unless the associated vehicle is authenticated. Drivers pay through the Element Pay app using direct pay, or use tap to pay at supported stations where direct pay is unavailable.

VANCOUVER – – October 29, 2026 -- BTQ Technologies (Nasdaq: BTQ; Cboe CA: BTQ) has made MIMIQ, its large-scale quantum emulator, available to more than 35,000 developers on the qBraid platform through qBraid's managed API. MIMIQ was developed by BTQ's wholly owned subsidiary QPerfect and can simulate up to thousands of qubits and millions of gates.

MPS techniques sidestep the memory wall of state-vector simulators

Standard state-vector simulators hit a memory limit at a few dozen qubits, because memory requirements double with every added qubit. MIMIQ combines optimized state-vector emulation with Matrix Product State (MPS) techniques, a compressed representation of quantum states. The approach works only for circuits whose entanglement stays limited.

SUNNYVALE – October 29, 2026 -- Cresta, the AI operating system for customer experience, has opened end-to-end self-service to developers building customer-facing AI agents in-house or for clients, with enterprise developers already moving from first requirements to production in as little as one week.

Cresta Conductor routes agent builds through customers' own repos and CI/CD pipelines

Developers build agents through their own repository and CI/CD pipeline, while Cresta supplies the runtime infrastructure. That includes controlled releases, access control, and visibility into AI usage and cost. Cresta targets teams that want to treat AI agents like any other production software, subject to code review, testing, and release processes, rather than keeping them in a separate visual interface or building guardrails and release tooling from scratch on raw models.
