NovoLINC Demonstrates 400 W/cm² Cooling on Warped Silicon with MaxLINC™

MaxLINC™ sustains 400 W/cm² heat flux and 3,300 W total power on production-representative silicon with ~150 µm warpage, demonstrating a path to overcoming a critical thermal barrier for next-generation AI accelerators.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NovoLINC, a provider of advanced thermal solutions for AI computing, today announced a significant high-power demonstration of its MaxLINC™ thermal interface material, achieving 400 W/cm² uniform heat flux and 3,300 W total power on a production-representative silicon test die with approximately 150 µm of warpage.

The demonstration was conducted using a specialized single-phase direct liquid cooling cold plate from CoolIT, an Ecolab Company. Throughout the test, the complete thermal stack maintained the silicon junction temperature below 90°C, demonstrating MaxLINC's ability to provide highly effective heat transfer even when significant die warpage creates challenging mechanical and thermal interface conditions.

As AI processors move toward higher power and larger package sizes, silicon and package warpage are becoming increasingly important thermal design challenges. Even small variations in flatness can create uneven contact at the interface between the semiconductor and cooling system, increasing thermal resistance and potentially creating localized hot spots.

MaxLINC is engineered to address this challenge through NovoLINC's proprietary nanostructured composite architecture, combining ultra-low thermal resistance with mechanical compliance. The technology is designed to maintain effective thermal contact across non-flat surfaces, enabling efficient heat transfer from high-power semiconductor devices into advanced cooling systems.

"NovoLINC is actively working with companies across single-phase direct liquid cooling, two-phase direct liquid cooling, and immersion cooling," said Dr. Sheng Shen, CTO of NovoLINC. "These results demonstrate a clear thermal roadmap: combining NovoLINC's advanced thermal interface technology with today's and future liquid cooling systems can provide a pathway to enabling advancement of higher-power chips and AI server architectures."

"Data center operators are making long-term infrastructure decisions today, and they need confidence that the cooling they deploy will keep up with future silicon," said Ben Sutton, Product Marketing Manager at CoolIT™. "Pairing CoolIT's advanced cold plate technology with NovoLINC's MaxLINC shows that single-phase DLC can handle high-heat-flux processors well into the next decade, without the cost and complexity of switching cooling architectures."

The demonstration reached 3,300 W of total device power, highlighting the ability of MaxLINC to address the rapidly increasing thermal demands of next-generation GPUs, CPUs, ASICs, and other AI accelerators.

"AI compute is advancing toward multi-kilowatt processors, but extracting that heat efficiently from increasingly large and mechanically complex packages is becoming one of the industry's most difficult challenges," said Dr. Ning Li, CEO of NovoLINC. "Our goal with MaxLINC is to remove the thermal interface as a limiting factor, and to give chip designers, system designers, and cooling partners greater freedom to push compute performance and power density to the next level."

The 400 W/cm² demonstration builds on NovoLINC's development of MaxLINC for high-performance semiconductor thermal interfaces. The platform is designed for use across the thermal pathway, from direct chip-to-cooling interfaces and chip-to-package heat spreaders to interfaces between packaged devices and cold plates or other advanced cooling hardware.

MaxLINC samples are available for customer evaluation and qualification.

The article explains how early water management decisions protect building site stability and reduce costly construction risks.

PUEBLO, Colo., Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What role should drainage planning and flood planning play before construction begins on a building site? HelloNation has published the answer in an article, featuring insights from Engineering & Surveying Expert Michael Cuppy of Pueblo, Colorado.

The HelloNation article explains that drainage planning is a critical part of preparing any building site, yet it is often overlooked during early construction decisions. Water management affects everything from grading to long-term structural performance, making it essential to evaluate how runoff will move across the property. Without proper drainage planning, water can collect in unwanted areas, leading to erosion, foundation damage, and limited site access during storms.

The article describes how a well-designed drainage planning approach maps the natural flow of runoff and identifies low points across a building site. Engineers use this information to guide grading decisions and develop systems such as swales, retention areas, or underground piping. These elements help control water management and ensure that runoff is directed away from structures, roads, and utilities. By aligning site layout with natural water flow, construction projects can avoid preventable complications.

Flood planning expands on drainage planning by addressing more extreme weather conditions. The article notes that flood planning considers how a building site will respond during heavy rainfall or seasonal flooding events. This process allows engineers to adjust grading, elevate structures when necessary, and reinforce vulnerable areas. Without proper flood planning, construction projects face increased risks that can lead to costly repairs and long-term damage.

The article emphasizes that even small miscalculations in runoff patterns can create major issues for a building site. Poor drainage planning can result in standing water, soil instability, or basement flooding. These problems often extend beyond the original construction area, affecting neighboring properties and increasing liability. Engineering & Surveying Experts highlight that early analysis of grading and water management helps prevent these outcomes and supports a more stable site layout.

In addition to protecting structures, the article explains that effective drainage planning improves the performance of infrastructure over time. Roads, landscaping, and utility systems all depend on proper water management to function correctly. When runoff is controlled through thoughtful grading and design, maintenance needs are reduced, and long-term durability improves. This makes drainage planning an essential part of both short-term construction success and long-term property value.

Flood planning also plays an important role in regulatory and insurance considerations. The article notes that local municipalities often require drainage planning and flood planning documentation before approving construction permits. Insurance providers may also evaluate flood risk when determining coverage requirements. Addressing these factors early helps streamline the construction process and reduces the likelihood of delays.

The article further explains that integrating drainage planning into site layout decisions leads to more efficient construction outcomes. When grading, utilities, and road placement are designed with water management in mind, builders can avoid costly redesigns. Engineering & Surveying Experts emphasize that proactive planning allows construction teams to work with natural site conditions rather than against them.

Ultimately, the HelloNation article presents drainage planning and flood planning as essential components of responsible construction. Ignoring water management may seem like a shortcut, but it often leads to complex, expensive challenges. By focusing on runoff control, grading accuracy, and thoughtful site layout, builders can create safer, more resilient building site conditions.

Why Drainage and Flood Planning Matter Before You Build features insights from Michael Cuppy, Engineering & Surveying Experts of Pueblo, Colorado, in HelloNation.

Trellist Helps National Logistics Operator Cut Customer Service Call Volume 30% With AI

Results show AI emerging as its own practice area, one that redesigns the handoffs inside a company's operations

WEST CHESTER, Pa., Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Trellist, Inc., a veteran-owned, employee-shared professional services firm, today shared results from a multi-phase AI engagement with a national logistics, transportation, and storage operator. The work cut customer service call volume by 30%, produced a six-figure net positive annual return, and freed 30% of the client's development team capacity for higher-value work. Trellist delivered it through their AI-Powered Transformation practice.

The results point to a broader shift. Putting AI to work inside a business is becoming a discipline of its own. Applying the full breadth of human knowledge, available on demand, to shorten a business process takes a new kind of expert. Trellist is building their practice around that expertise and raising a new generation of senior AI engineers to lead it.

Trellist's approach centers on a map. Every operational process runs through a web of handoffs between roles: marketing to sales, sales to operations, operations to customer service. Each handoff adds time and cost. Once that web is drawn, AI can truncate the process in three ways: shorten the time between handoffs, put them in a better order, or remove them entirely.

Making that work comes down to implementation. Trellist chooses the right tools for each step. They build and organize custom MCP servers so AI has secure access to the connectors and systems it needs. They match the level of AI intelligence to each job. And they engineer the harness that ties it all together inside existing infrastructure, whether that is Salesforce or Amazon Bedrock.

For the logistics operator, the work ran in sequence. Trellist first joined the company's disconnected marketing, sales, and operations data into one pipeline with real-time feeds, so teams could adjust performance against live data. Next, they built AI directly into the development and quality assurance workflows, which recovered 30% of that team's capacity. Last, they analyzed call-tracking data to learn why customers were calling, then built an AI agent that resolves common issues in conversation. The agent has human review built in and runs inside the existing customer service workflow.

"It's amazing how much agents can handle end-to-end," said Gavin Garrison, Partner & Account Leader at Trellist. "We load intelligence with a complex process and see how far it gets. The gaps show where a person needs to step in, or where it needs a new connection. We take those gaps to the map of the operation as needed, and that lets us create the most impact."

Every Trellist engagement ends in enablement, handing the capability over to the client's own team. The practice offers AI strategy, workflow modernization, custom MCP servers, AI agents, and fractional AI teams to organizations that want AI put to work.

About Trellist

Trellist Marketing and Technology is a professional services and solutions firm that helps businesses evolve through AI-driven technical offerings and advanced market solutions. As a transformation partner, Trellist helps save clients' money and be more self-sufficient from traditional vendors. The firm works with a diverse range of clients, from Fortune 500 companies to mid-tier businesses and emerging markets, and is a 100% veteran-owned business.

Co-owners Lacey and Russell Williams bring high-energy classes and a black-and-gold studio to the community this winter.

SPRING, Texas, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pilates is getting a gold-plated upgrade this winter with the arrival of Pilates Addiction in Vintage Park. The new studio, located at 10300 Louetta Road, Ste. 100, will bring the brand's patented, gold-plated Aurum™ Reformers, high-energy classes and signature black-and-gold studio experience to the Spring community.

Led by local co-owners Lacey and Russell Williams, the new studio is designed to feel different from the moment members walk through the door – from striking rows of gold equipment to wood and metallic design elements, modern lighting schemes that inspire and support the workout, and curated retail.

For Lacey, opening the studio also brings together a longtime passion for fitness and a personal connection to Pilates. A former track athlete, she spent several years as a personal trainer at Equinox in River Oaks, specializing in pre- and postnatal clients. She discovered Pilates while pregnant with her first son and was drawn to the ability to get a challenging, full-body workout that was still low impact. Years later, a visit to Pilates Addiction's West Hollywood studio introduced Lacey and Russell to the brand they would ultimately bring home to their own community.

"People here already have access to great fitness, so we knew we couldn't just open another Pilates studio and expect that to be enough," said Lacey Williams, co-owner of Pilates Addiction Vintage Park. "We chose Pilates Addiction because the experience genuinely felt different – the Aurum Reformer changes what can happen in a class, the programming gives you somewhere to progress, and the studio has an energy you feel as soon as you walk in. We fell in love with it when we visited the West Hollywood studio, and we know our community will too."

At the center of that experience are class formats that are expertly taught and designed for all fitness and Pilates levels. The proprietary Aurum Reformer combines a reformer, jump board, barre and Wunda Chair into one, allowing members to move through a full-body workout without rotating between stations or breaking the flow of class. With four pieces of equipment built into a single machine, clients have more ways to challenge strength, control, endurance and mobility, using all components in every class.

Both Texas A&M University alumni, Lacey and Russell live near Vintage Park with their two young sons, Luca and Cam. The family already spends time throughout the area, from supporting local businesses to date nights at neighborhood restaurants, making Vintage Park a natural choice for their first studio.

"Vintage Park is the kind of neighborhood where people build routines around the places they love," said Russell Williams, co-owner. "We already live that ourselves, and now we have the opportunity to contribute something of our own. We want Pilates Addiction to become a place people feel connected to and are proud to have in their community."

That same focus on progression carries into the class lineup. Educators trained in anatomy and biomechanics through the Pilates Addiction Movement Academy lead four signature formats: Ignite, a 30-minute introduction to the Aurum Reformer; Core+, a 50-minute high-intensity class; Max, a 50-minute advanced workout; and Mobility RX, a 50-minute stretching-focused class. A membership milestone program celebrates consistency and progress along the way.

Pilates Addiction launched in West Hollywood in May 2025 and has since sold more than 325 territories nationwide, with multiple new studios opening each month in markets across the country. Vintage Park is part of the brand's growing Texas presence and rapid national expansion.

The article outlines how improving tear quality and tear function supports clearer, more comfortable vision.

TULLAHOMA, Tenn., Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What causes ongoing eye discomfort and blurred vision even when wearing the correct prescription? HelloNation has published the answer in an article, featuring insights from Eye Health Expert Dr. J. Shawn McBride of Vision Source Tullahoma Vision Associates.

The HelloNation article explains that clear vision depends not only on corrective lenses but also on proper tear function and balanced tear quality. When the tear film becomes unstable, patients may experience eye discomfort, fluctuating clarity, and blurred vision that interferes with everyday tasks. Dry eye therapy focuses on restoring this balance, helping patients achieve more stable and reliable visual performance.

The article describes how dry eye therapy addresses underlying issues rather than just surface symptoms. In many cases, dry eye is not caused by a lack of tears but by poor tear quality or an imbalance in tear composition. This disruption can lead to inflammation and inconsistent tear function, both of which contribute to blurred vision and ongoing eye discomfort. By improving tear quality and stabilizing the tear film, dry eye therapy supports clearer vision over time.

According to the article, proper dry eye management begins with identifying the root causes of dysfunction. Eye Health Experts use specialized diagnostic tools to evaluate tear function, assess tear composition, and examine the glands that produce tears. These evaluations allow for customized treatment plans that target the specific causes of eye discomfort and visual instability.

The article notes that treatment options for dry eye therapy may include prescription eye drops or non-invasive in-office procedures designed to restore natural tear function. These approaches aim to improve tear quality, reduce inflammation, and promote long-term eye health. As tear function improves, patients often notice reduced eye discomfort and fewer episodes of blurred vision, leading to more consistent, clear vision throughout the day.

The HelloNation article also emphasizes the importance of ongoing dry eye management. Without proper care, minor irritation can develop into more serious eye health concerns. Regular eye exams allow Eye Health Experts to monitor tear function and adjust treatment plans as needed. This proactive approach helps maintain tear quality and supports lasting improvements in clear vision.

In addition, the article highlights how tears play a critical role in focusing light and protecting the eye's surface. When tear quality is compromised, even small disruptions can affect visual clarity. Dry eye therapy works to restore this essential function, helping patients maintain stable, comfortable vision during reading, screen use, and other daily activities.

Patients who follow a consistent dry eye management plan often report noticeable improvements in both comfort and performance. Reduced eye discomfort, improved tear function, and better tear quality all contribute to clearer vision and enhanced overall eye health. The article underscores that addressing both short-term symptoms and long-term causes is key to achieving lasting results.

The global kids' music phenomenon brought its signature family fun to Fall Fam Jam with live concerts, pool parties, VIP experiences and a new music video filmed on location at Beaches Turks and Caicos

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks & Caicos, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fresh off their summer tour, the KIDZ BOP Kids brought the energy to Beaches Turks and Caicos, turning the family-friendly, all-inclusive resort into a five-day celebration of music, fun and family as part of Fall Fam Jam 2026. From October 1–5, KIDZ BOP, the global kids' music phenomenon, gave vacationing families a chance to experience KIDZ BOP in a tropical setting, with a weekend of special live concerts, interactive experiences and memorable moments alongside the KIDZ BOP Kids as they soaked up the Caribbean sun.

The KIDZ BOP Kids Make a Tour Stop at Beaches Turks and Caicos

The weekend kicked off with Bop, Drop & Party, a VIP welcome celebration that set the tone for several days of family fun. The following day, families took the party poolside for Splash, Beats & Eats, a pool party and brunch at the Italian Village Pool, followed by an exclusive VIP meet and greet with the KIDZ BOP Kids.

The fun continued with experiences designed to keep guests entertained between concerts. Young guests took the spotlight during "Future Pop Star," a KIDZ BOP karaoke and talent competition that gave four finalists the chance to open for the group's final on-resort concert. Families also got creative at Charm Bar by the Sea, a bracelet-making workshop led by designer Amanda Perna, while Glow with the Flow brought the fun after dark with a glow-in-the-dark party and Black Light Visuals.

At the heart of the weekend were two live KIDZ BOP LIVE concerts on October 2 and 5 at Beaches Turks and Caicos' Open Air Theatre, turning the resort into a high-energy dance party for the whole family. Kids and parents sang and danced along to kid-friendly versions of today's biggest pop hits including KIDZ BOP's "Beautiful Things," "HOT TO GO!" and "APT." Live audience voting let young fans help choose what came next, keeping the crowd engaged through the show before a dazzling fireworks display lit up the Caribbean sky during the final song.

The experience extended beyond the stage as the KIDZ BOP Kids filmed a new music video on location at Beaches Turks and Caicos. Set to the beloved reggae classic "Three Little Birds," the video will showcase the resort's Caribbean setting and bring a glimpse of Beaches Resorts to KIDZ BOP fans around the world when it debuts later this year.

As part of their visit, the KIDZ BOP Kids joined the Sandals Foundation for a Reading Roadtrip to Bethany's Education and Social Training (B.E.S.T.) Institute, spending time with local children and supporting the Foundation's ongoing commitment to education and literacy.

The KIDZ BOP Energy Will Continue in Jamaica

The celebration will extend beyond Turks & Caicos to Beaches Negril, where this upcoming weekend, October 8-12, families will enjoy KIDZ BOP-inspired beach and pool parties, karaoke contests, dance competitions and special concert viewing events. Together, the programming across both resorts brings KIDZ BOP to families vacationing in the Caribbean, giving guests different ways to join the celebration whether it's dancing by the pool, taking the stage themselves or enjoying the music under the stars.

Fall Fam Jam Turns Up the Volume

KIDZ BOP was the latest headline act in Fall Fam Jam 2026, Beaches Resorts' annual celebration of family travel taking place throughout September and October. The festival-style experience also featured viral Toddler Techno artist Lenny Pearce, who brought four exclusive performances to Beaches Turks and Caicos in September, alongside all-new Sesame Street® experiences, expanded toddler programming and Caribbean-inspired family entertainment.

Fall Fam Jam will return to Beaches Resorts in September and October 2027, bringing another season of family-focused experiences, special entertainment and unforgettable moments to the Caribbean. For more information, visit www.beaches.com/fall-fam-jam.
