There are countless others which have arrived or are on the way in what is set to be the defining year for screenless ‘smart bands’. They include the Garmin Cirqa, Polar Loop, Luna Band and more. Apple seems to have been lured into the party and it working on its own solution, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Little is known, as Apple is currently considering various options. “Apple is indeed taking this industry shift seriously. The company is considering new devices with no displays,” said Gurman, adding that Apple “is determined to reinvent the lineup in response to growing competition.”…

Summit 2026 Here’s why eyes will be on the Multifamily Town Hall during Broadband Communities Summit in Houston on August 26, sponsored by AT&T Connected Communities. The Multifamily Town Hall at 11:30 a.m. on August 26 will be one to watch, according to Valerie Sargent. Sargent, who serves as a multifamily correspondent and advisor for Broadband Communities Summit, said the discussions during the Multifamily Town Hall can often foreshadow and influence later policy discussions and legal leader panels during the Summit’s multifamily track. This year, the town hall discussion will be moderated by Matt Ames, a partner at law firm…

What if your predictive AI investments could start delivering agentic AI value now? According to DataRobot Chief Product Officer Venky Veeraraghavan and Dell Technologies Senior Director of AI Solutions Brad Maltz, they can. And now is the time to go after it.  Production models, clean data pipelines, optimization engines, and governance controls give agents the grounded business context they need to drive faster decisions and measurable outcomes. An orchestration and reasoning layer can connect these capabilities across teams, systems, and data silos, turning predictions into coordinated action. In a recent DataRobot and Dell Technologies webinar, Veeraraghavan and Maltz explain how…

Age estimation software is now a practical way to reduce friction at age gates without asking every adult customer for an identity document. The strongest systems use a selfie to estimate age in seconds, then send only borderline cases to a higher-assurance check such as document verification.Age verification and age estimation are not the same thing, although vendors often blur the terms. Age verification confirms a date of birth from evidence such as a government document; facial age estimation predicts an apparent age from a face. That distinction matters as platforms respond to age-assurance rules, especially in the United Kingdom,…

The quest to decarbonize is the most fundamental mission of corporate sustainability, but its language can be confusing. When the same term means different things to different companies, or even different teams within one company, work often gets duplicated or misses the mark. Worse, it can lead to legal battles and challenges from critics. The result is wasted hours, increased costs and reputational damage that a clearer map could have prevented. In my most recent column for Trellis, I offered methods to choose from the array of hundreds of sustainability certifications that are available globally. Here I’ll dig into the…

The Google Pixel Watch 5 is expected to launch in just under two weeks on August 20, if the time on the leaked images is an indication. The announcement event, on the other hand, is in two days, which will reveal the Pixel 11 series as well. As usual, all the leaks leading up to the actual release are so revealing that they leave nothing to the imagination. After the tipsters exhausted pretty much all the info regarding specs and design, we are now getting renders and pricing of the special Stephen Curry edition as well. It is part of…

NAPERVILLE, Ill. — The question of who pays when an AI agent misbehaves stopped being hypothetical this year. California’s AB 316 bars companies that developed, modified, or used an AI system from arguing it acted autonomously. The European Union’s revised Product Liability Directive treats firms that modify or brand an AI system as its manufacturer. And insurers, using Verisk’s generative-AI exclusion forms, are writing AI incidents out of general-liability renewals. As NYU’s Haran Segram wrote in The Wall Street Journal this week, the exposure “sits on nobody’s books.” Bodaty LLC’s answer has been in production since June: AICtrlNet, the open source platform…

Green carbon dots made from pomegranate peel reshaped TiO2-driven CO2 photoreduction, shifting product selectivity from oxygenated compounds to CO and, with copper modification, toward more reduced hydrocarbons. Study: The effect of green carbon Dots/Titanium dioxide for photocatalytic reduction of CO2. Image Credit: rsooll / Shutterstock In a recent research article published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers investigated photocatalytic CO2 reduction using nano-titanium dioxide, green carbon dots derived from pomegranate peel, a TiO2/CD composite, and a copper-modified TiO2/CD material. CO2 Photocatalysis Overview The relentless rise in industrialization has caused excessive carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, disrupting the natural carbon balance and accelerating…

Dassault Systèmes’ agreement to acquire ArisGlobal extends beyond safety capability expansion. The strategic objective is to create a more connected Research & Development (R&D) environment in which clinical, safety, and real-world evidence continuously inform decisions across the therapy life cycle, rather than remain confined to siloed functional systems.  Across the industry, life sciences enterprises are seeking integrated R&D ecosystems that connect clinical, safety, regulatory, quality, and real-world evidence across the product life cycle.  By adding ArisGlobal’s safety, regulatory, quality, and medical affairs platform capabilities to a portfolio spanning discovery, clinical development, and manufacturing, Dassault Systèmes is advancing its ambition to create a continuous loop across the therapy life cycle. Strategic value will depend on whether later-stage insights can meaningfully inform and improve…
