SEOUL, South Korea , Dec. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SOLVIT System, a recognized leader in innovative technology, will participate in CES 2025, taking place January 7–10 in Las Vegas . The company's iSARTM (intelligent Search and Rescue) has been honored with the prestigious CES Innovation Award in the "Smart Cities" category. At CES, SOLVIT System will showcase its groundbreaking technology to dramatically reduce search areas for individuals lost in radio shadow zones. Addressing the Challenges of Rescue Dead Zones Mobile communication shadow areas, often called "rescue dead zones" in current E911 services, pose significant challenges for locating missing individuals due to the absence of technology capable of identifying or narrowing these shadow zones. Wide-area searches without actionable clues often result in unsuccessful rescue attempts despite substantial investments of time and resources. Powered by advanced algorithms, the SOLVIT-iSARTM system reduces the search area to as little as 1/25 the size required by traditional methods. Cutting-edge technology for Swift and Accurate Rescues At CES, SOLVIT System will demonstrate iSARTM's functionality and the innovative algorithms behind its success. The solution leverages advanced mobile communication forensic technologies and intelligent inference, including: These fully automated processes enable rescue operators to complete professional-grade analyses within just 10 minutes, a significant improvement over the three hours typically required by radio forensic experts. The company will highlight its front-end applications for command-and-control centers and mobile devices. These tools enhance operational efficiency, allowing rescue teams to work quickly and effectively in the field. Proven Innovation with Global Recognition SOLVIT System's iSARTM has been celebrated for its groundbreaking contributions to public safety, improving the likelihood of rescuing individuals while ensuring the safety of rescue personnel. Before earning the CES Innovation Award, iSARTM was recognized as an "Excellent Research and Development Innovation Product" by Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy. Since its deployment in April 2024 at the Korea National Fire & Disaster Headquarters, the system has demonstrated exceptional efficiency and reliability. Motivation and Vision for the Future "We are proud to be honored with the CES Innovation Award for iSARTM that saves lives," said Yeong-Goo Kim , Founder and CEO of SOLVIT System. "Driven by our commitment to saving lives, we have applied our expertise to the search and rescue field." The company's participation in CES 2025 goes beyond showcasing its product. Mr Kim aims to connect with a wide range of people, agencies, companies, and institutions to explore opportunities for collaboration and the localization of iSARTM in different countries. He also hinted at the development of the next version of iSARTM, promising further groundbreaking innovations. He also hopes that iSARTM's CES Award will serve as a stepping-stone toward establishing legal and institutional frameworks for public access to radio resource information and time-series data.

A UTCC survey for the upcoming New Year season suggested a period of vibrant consumer spending. A total of 109 billion baht is expected to circulate, representing a 3.2% increase, which reflects signs of an ongoing economic recovery in Thailand. The survey was conducted between Dec 16-21, including 1,300 respondents nationwide. Despite the upbeat forecast, Thanavath Phonvichai, president of the UTCC, said most consumers are still hesitant to spend freely as they perceive only a slight improvement in the economy. This cautious approach is evident in the stable volume of goods purchased compared to last year. Sauwanee Thairungroj, advisor to the UTCC Council, said Thais are planning to spend on personal activities such as parties, religious donations, the purchase of clothes or shoes and buying gifts for others. During this season, consumer spending is divided into two categories: travel and other activities. Total travel spending is expected to reach 51.4 billion baht, including 5.47 billion baht for overseas trips and 45.9 billion baht for domestic trips. Meanwhile, spending on other activities is expected to hit 57.8 billion baht, covering durable goods, consumer goods, parties and merit-making. Popular items include gift basket purchases (26.5%), followed by expenditure on hosting parties, cash gifts, and purchases of alcoholic beverages. In terms of sources of funds, the survey found 47% of respondents plan to use their salaries or regular income, followed by savings. Notably, the proportion of people using savings has risen from 37.4% to 45.6%, indicating that many individuals find their salaries insufficient to cover their expenses. "We expect the economic recovery in the first and second quarters of 2025," Mr Thanavath said. However, he highlighted concerns about potential political uncertainties in the second quarter. If parliament is dissolved, it could hinder the approval of the 2026 fiscal year budget, potentially affecting the economy. He added that if a stable recovery is seen in the second quarter, Thailand may need to gradually raise VAT to 8% as part of a broader tax restructuring to support the country's transition into an ageing society.

Settling a footnoteNEW YORK, Dec. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Zeta Global Holdings Corp. ZETA and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in Zeta, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting https://www.bfalaw.com/cases-investigations/zeta-global-holdings-corp . Investors have until January 21, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Zeta securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and is captioned Davoodi v. Zeta Global Holdings Corp. , et al. , No. 24-cv-08961. What is the Lawsuit About? Zeta is a cloud-based technology company that provides a marketing platform to assist marketers in acquiring customers. The complaint alleges that Zeta represented that its marketing platform was powered by the industry's largest opted-in data set. On November 13, 2024, prominent investment research firm Culper Research published a report titled: "Zeta Global Holdings Corp (ZETA): Shams, Scams, and Spam." Based on Culper's investigation that included proprietary interviews with industry experts and former Zeta employees, the research firm found that Zeta's data set had been generated from a network of "consent farms" – i.e., sham websites designed to gather consumer data under false pretenses or awards that did not exist. Culper Research further wrote that these consent farms drove almost the entirety of Zeta's growth over the past 2+ years, representing 56% of its Adjusted EBITDA, and could result in devastating regulatory action. The news caused a significant decline in the price of Zeta stock. On November 13, 2024, the price of the company's stock fell 37%, from a closing price of $28.22 per share on November 12, 2024, to $17.76 per share on November 13, 2024.

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys are shutting down CeeDee Lamb with two games remaining after their 2023 All-Pro receiver spent the second half of the season dealing with a sprained right shoulder. The team said Thursday that additional exams revealed enough damage to keep Lamb off the field Sunday at Philadelphia and in the final game at home against Washington. The team said surgery was not expected to be required. Dallas was eliminated from playoff contention a few hours before last weekend's 26-24 victory over Tampa Bay . The decision on Lamb means the Cowboys will finish the regular season with at least five former Pro Bowlers on injured reserve. Among the others are quarterback Dak Prescott, who was limited to eight games before a season-ending hamstring tear, and right guard Zack Martin. The seven-time All-Pro made it through 10 games before deciding on season-ending ankle surgery. Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence didn't playing after Week 4 because of a foot injury, and cornerback Trevon Diggs battled a variety of injuries while playing 11 games before a knee injury ended his season. Lamb initially injured his right shoulder when it hit the turf hard twice in a 27-21 loss at Atlanta on Nov. 3. He kept playing and had at least 100 yards in each of his last two games — both victories — before getting shut down. The 25-year-old Lamb sat out the entire offseason and preseason in a contract dispute after getting career highs in catches (an NFL-best 135), yards receiving (club-record 1,749) and touchdowns (12) in 2023. The holdout finally ended with a $136 million, four-year extension in late August, but neither the Cowboys nor their star receiver could get that production going again this season. Dallas (7-8) is missing the playoffs for the first time since 2020, Lamb's rookie year. Lamb finishes the season with 101 catches for 1,194 yards and six TDs.

Why Nigerian billionaire is moving to launch A-powered radio stationNEW YORK - A woman who lost her jaw after being caught in a crossfire in Ukraine can smile again thanks to transformative surgery in New York. Anastasiia Polukhanovic, 24, was unable to smile, eat, and was barely able to speak. Doctors at Northwell Staten Island University Hospital used 3-D technology and bone from her leg to put a smile on her face again. "Once the war broke out I was in communication with surgeons finding out how can I help," Dr. David Hoffman said. "Found many patients needed surgery." "When she came to us, there was no chewing. She wasn't able to eat anything. It was hard to speak," Dr. Lydia Lamb said. "We used bone from the patient's own body and you bring it up to the area you need to reconstruct. You contour it. You basically shape it to be a new mandible, and then you hook it up to blood vessels in the neck," Dr. Michael Blasco said. "Looking back, I just remember how I would look at myself in the mirror and I would cry," she said through a translator. "She was at the point where basically the lower half of her face was severely deformed, and she didn't really have - she had no teeth. She had no ability to get teeth at that point, and really poor oral function," Blasco said. War may have taken her smile, but surgery brought it back. "She healed beautifully," Lamb said. Her final surgery will be in March. She's expected to go back home to Ukraine with her family in April. "I'm unbelievably happy and my family is very grateful to everyone who was involved," Polukhanovic said. Jennifer Bisram is an award-winning journalist.

EXRO PROVIDES UPDATE ON SEMI-ANNUAL INTEREST PAYMENTS ON OUTSTANDING CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURESNEW YORK, Dec. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Marqeta, Inc. (NASDAQ: MQ) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in Marqeta, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting https://www.bfalaw.com/cases-investigations/marqeta-inc .

The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Marqeta securities. The first-filed case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and is captioned Wai v. Marqeta, Inc., et al. , No. 24-cv-8874. Why was Marqeta Sued for Securities Fraud? Marqeta is a financial technology company that provides a card issuing platform, enabling businesses to create and manage customized payment cards. During the relevant period, Marqeta discussed its ability to attract and retain customers while continuing to achieve operational efficiencies given the purported investments it already made into its compliance infrastructure. In truth, it is alleged that at the time the statements were made, Marqeta experienced longer customer onboarding timelines caused by heightened regulatory scrutiny and insufficient investments into the Company’s compliance apparatus. The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed On November 4, 2024, the Company reported its third quarter 2024 financial results and cut its full year 2025 growth outlook, due to “heightened scrutiny of the banking environment and specific customer program changes.” On the earnings call the same day, the Company revealed that “the regulatory scrutiny” had “clearly ratcheted up” in the “first few months of 2024.” Marqeta also admitted that the impact the increased scrutiny had on the Company’s business “became apparent over the last few months.” This news caused the price of the Company’s stock to fall over 42%, from a closing price of $5.95 per share on November 4, 2024, to $3.42 per share on November 5, 2024.
