ZincFive Expands Nickel-Zinc Technology into In-Rack Backup and AI Dynamic Power Solutions28.9.2026 15:05:00 EEST | Press release
ZincFive®, the leader in nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery-based solutions for immediate power applications, today announced its expansion into in-rack energy storage with the development of Battery Backup Unit (BBU) and AI Dynamic Power Module (DPM) solutions designed to address the evolving energy storage requirements of AI data centers. As AI drives higher rack power densities and increasingly dynamic workloads, data center power architectures are evolving to manage both traditional backup requirements and rapid, repeated changes in power demand. These transient loads can place significant stress on electrical infrastructure, creating a growing need for power solutions closer to the rack that can respond quickly, safely, and reliably. Today’s rack-level technologies often require tradeoffs between energy capacity and dynamic power response. Traditional BBUs are primarily designed to provide backup runtime, while capacitor-based systems offer rapid response but limited energy duration and s
Mirum Pharmaceuticals Announces Primary Endpoint Met in Phase 3 AZURE-1 Study of Brelovitug in Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus28.9.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Mirum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: MIRM), a leading rare disease company, today announced the primary endpoint was met in the Phase 3 portion of the AZURE-1 study evaluating brelovitug, an investigational fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), for the treatment of chronic hepatitis delta virus (HDV). In addition, 48-week data from the Phase 2b portion of AZURE-1 demonstrated deepening viral suppression, with a greater proportion of patients achieving HDV RNA below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ, <10 IU/mL) and target not detected (TND), and increased rates of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) normalization. AZURE-1 is one of two pivotal Phase 3 studies intended to form the basis of Mirum’s U.S. registration package for brelovitug. “These results demonstrate the potential of brelovitug as a well-tolerated, convenient, single agent to deliver both deep viral suppression and ALT normalization, with responses that continue to deepen throu
Oscilloquartz and Iridium expand resilient positioning and navigation capabilities with new PNT service integration28.9.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Oscilloquartz today announced the next phase of its collaboration with Iridium Communications Inc., expanding the range of Iridium® positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) (formerly Iridium Satellite Time and Location® or STL®) capabilities available across its synchronization portfolio. The latest integration brings resilient positioning and navigation alongside trusted timing to a broader range of applications. Building on the companies’ existing collaboration, it strengthens end-to-end, multi-layered assured PNT architectures for critical infrastructure, defense and other GNSS-dependent applications. “Organizations are adopting layered PNT architectures to improve resilience and reduce dependence on any single timing or positioning source,” said Rohit Braggs, VP of PNT at Iridium. “Working with Oscilloquartz extends the reach of Iridium® PNT services, making it easier for customers to deploy resilient, multi-source PNT architectures.“ Expanded support for Iridium® PNT services exte
