Is LASE Bringing Laser-Focus To A Rare Opportunity In The Industry?

Laser Photonics Corporation

At the end of September, Laser Photonics Corp. (NASDAQ: LASE) blasted its way onto the Nasdaq Stock Market. An industrial laser technologies and systems company, Laser Photonics (LPC) produces a variety of laser-based products for the specialized machinery industry. Its CleanTech laser is one of its products seeking to disrupt the abrasives cleaning market. In 2021, the global abrasive cleaning market was $46.4 billion, while sandblasting was $6.23 billion. Abrasive cleaning includes rust removal, contaminant removal, surface conditioning and finishing to machinery across a wide variety of industries, including electronics, medical equipment, manufacturing and the military. However, abrasive cleaners often include toxic chemicals, and sandblasting (where a high density of small particles are blown onto the surface) carries its own dangers, all of which are rubbing the market the wrong way. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has warned about the health hazards and safety risks that can be involved in abrasive blasting, and this creates pressure for industry companies to find a way to continue cleaning material without endangering their employees. Looking Photon-genic LPC is bringing change to this market with its CleanTech laser cleaning system. Laser blasting avoids the health hazards of the more risky abrasive treatments because workers are not exposed to a cocktail of chemicals. This also makes the blaster more eco-friendly, a quality increasingly important for both private and public companies looking to adopt environment-positive policies. The CleanTech lasers allow for a greater degree of control, which means they don’t damage the substrate material being cleaned, a frequent risk when using abrasive blasting treatment. They are also more energy and time-efficient, allowing companies to decrease labor costs. The company is working with a large addressable market by delivering a variety of laser products with diverse applications. Beyond cleaning, these lasers can be used for marking, engraving, cutting and 3D metal printing. LPC sees its 3D metal printing as a disruptive force in the manufacturing industry, and its printers use proprietary tech that will serve across the aerospace, manufacturing and automotive industries. Harnessing the power of photons, LPC is bringing cutting-edge technology to the market with its standardized and specialized laser-blasting equipment. The company works with both public- and private-sector clients, from Fortune 1000 companies to the U.S. military, serving domestic and international customers from North America to North Africa. It has established itself in the market with what it calls its “blue chip customer base” — key players across a range of industries, including Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F), 3M Co. (NYSE: MMM), Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE: DELL) and others. Other companies working to develop the laser industry include Coherent Corp. (NASDAQ: COHR), Lumentum Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: LITE) and IPG Photonics Corp. (NASDAQ: IPGP). The company saw a 30% increase from the first half of 2021 to 2022, seeing over $2.5 million in sales from January to June this year. The company says it is positioned for continued rapid growth. “We have a rare opportunity to participate and lead the market for laser-blasting, an opportunity that could last decades,” LPC CEO Wayne Tupuola said. “We believe a perfect storm is brewing given the technological advancements, the regulatory and labor environment and access to the capital markets, and we look forward to capitalizing on this opportunity.” To learn more about Laser Photonics Corp., visit its website. Laser Photonics is a vertically-integrated manufacturer and R&D Center of Excellence for industrial laser technologies and systems. LPC seeks to disrupt the $46 billion, centuries old, sand and abrasives blasting markets, focusing on surface cleaning, rust removal, corrosion control, de-painting and other laser-based industrial applications. LPC's new generation of leading-edge laser blasting technologies and equipment also addresses the numerous health, safety, environmental, and regulatory issues associated with the old methods. As a result, LPC has quickly gained a reputation as an industry leader for industrial laser systems with a brand that stands for quality, technology and product innovation. Currently, world-renowned and Fortune 1000 manufacturers in the aerospace, automotive, defense, energy, industrial, maritime, space exploration and shipbuilding industries are using LPC's "unique-to-industry" systems.

Rembrandt’s Famous Masterpiece Available In 8,000 Pieces (NFTs)

Curzon PR

Now, everyone has the opportunity to own a digital piece of one of Rembrandt’s most celebrated works, The Night Watch (1642). The painting has been divided into 8,000 pieces, which are available in the form of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) — a digital certificate of ownership. Not only will the sale of NFTs be a milestone step in making Rembrandt ownership accessible for all, but owners will also be granted exclusive access to the new, and soon to be open, MetaRembrandt Museum — the only place in the world where all the paintings of Rembrandt van Rijn can be found remastered, digitally restored to their original state, and in high definition. The Night Watch NFT initiative is the result of a collaboration between the Rembrandt Heritage Foundation and blockchain innovators HODL Finance. It was announced on the first anniversary of the death of world-renowned Rembrandt expert, Professor Dr Ernst van de Wetering, who worked tirelessly to preserve Rembrandt's collection and make it accessible for current and future generations. Professor van de Wetering made his life’s work to trace, authenticate and preserve all of Rembrandt’s works. His legacy with The Rembrandt Heritage Foundation was to have Rembrandt’s full art collection digitised and remastered, ensuring it remains immortalised. He even recreated the pieces from The Night Watch that were cut off in 1715 and feared lost forever. Jess Muntenaar, COO at HODL Finance, said: “We are proud that together with The Rembrandt Heritage Foundation, we have digitally reconstructed and captured Rembrandt’s paintings in high definition, and made them accessible to everyone through blockchain ownership. Digitising art is not a replacement for the real thing, but rather a way to preserve art, make it available to everyone, and ensure that Rembrandt will always be there for future generations.” NFTs cannot be copied, replaced or subdivided, ensuring absolute security and authenticity. Every NFT is recorded in a database (a blockchain) and can be stored for as long as the owner wishes, or sold. An owner of one of the 8,000 pieces of the Night Watch automatically becomes a founder of the MetaRembrandt Museum. Founders have lifetime access to the museum, and can also ‘rent out’ their NFT, which not only provides a return on investment, but also gives other art lovers the opportunity to gain access to this highly exclusive digital venue. Pim Slager, co-founder of The Rembrandt Heritage Foundation, says: "The MetaRembrandt Museum is the only place where people can view all the paintings of Rembrandt together and in high definition. I feel honoured that we can now share the life's work of Rembrandt van Rijn with the whole world." For more information and to register to own a piece of The Night Watch, visit www.metarembrandt.com. About HODL Finance The Hodl Finance ecosystem is designed to continue to fuel innovative projects. By providing funding, community and expertise for a wide range of forward-thinking initiatives, Hodl Finance believes that our future should not be determined by Big Tech, but rather by creators and communities. Put the power where it belongs and let the community share in the benefits.

Long-Term Rental Startup Rentberry Raises Capital To Develop A Flexible Living Platform For Digital Nomads

Rentberry

A new app catering to digital nomads is in the works from pioneer long-term rental startup Rentberry. Launched in 2017, the San Francisco-based startup has raised more than $22 million in capital from investors to fund its patented long-term rental platform that digitizes the entire process from property search to rental management. Rentberry is raising an additional $12.4 million through the crowdfunding platform StartEngine. That, along with the $22 million already raised, will help fund the company’s expansion, including the development of a new Flexible Living concept. Built on the existing Rentberry platform, Flexible Living will offer high-quality, fully furnished long-term rentals in the hottest cities around the globe. The concept is aimed at the growing ranks of work-from-home millennials and digital nomads looking to make the most of the freedom in their new flexible work schedules. Rentberry’s Patented Mid-Term Rental Technology Delivers A Transparent, Streamlined Rental Process The current Rentberry platform already boasts 24 million properties across 137,000 locations serving over 8 million users. For tenants, it offers a fully digital and transparent way to search for properties, submit applications, pay rent and submit maintenance requests — all in one app. For landlords, Rentberry streamlines the application, screening and rental management process from end to end so they can do everything from listing their properties to handling service requests on one intuitive platform. Flexible Living Will Offer A Mid-Term Friendly Version of Rentberry’s Platform The rapidly growing population of digital nomads is overwhelmingly made up of millennials ( 44% ) and Gen Z adults (21%). This interest looks set to grow even further; a survey found that more than 80% of millennials are interested in learning more about the digital nomad lifestyle. These younger professionals crave flexibility and freedom in the places they rent, but so far, few rental services can deliver. Short-term rental platforms like Airbnb Inc. (NASDAQ: ABNB) or Expedia Group Inc. ’s (NASDAQ: EXPE) VRBO offer fully-furnished properties that feel more like home than a hotel room, but high daily rates make them costly for longer stays. At the same time, long-term rental platforms like Zillow Group Inc. ’s (NASDAQ: ZG) Trulia or Craigslist don’t offer an easy way to find furnished mid-term rentals and lack many of the digital features that Rentberry offers to streamline the entire application and rental process. To deliver a solution that better meets the needs of young professionals, Rentberry is working on acquiring properties throughout Europe, Asia and the United States — as well as onboarding homeowners to list their properties on the Flexible Living platform — that it can then rent out exclusively through its website on three- to 12-month leases that have no security deposit requirement. The high-quality properties will be equipped with digital locks and fully furnished with work-from-home millennials in mind. With this latest round of funding on StartEngine ending Oct. 28, Rentberry hopes to have the new Flexible Living concept operational in 2023. Rentberry is the first closed-loop platform that makes the long-term rental process transparent and safe, offers contactless rental experience, and helps properties realize their true market price. Its patented technology allows tenants to submit custom offers and potentially save $87 billion on move-in costs that are currently blocked as rental security deposits.

Volatus Aerospace Expands into UK with the Acquisition of iRed® Remote Sensing, a Leading Thermographic Survey Company

Volatus Aerospace Corp.

Volatus Aerospace Corp. (TSXV: VOL) (OTCQB: VLTTF) ("Volatus" or "the Company") announced today that it has signed an arm’s length definitive agreement dated Oct 17, 2022 to acquire iRed Limited, a drone services and training company based in Emsworth, England (“iRed”). This acquisition provides a foundation for continued growth in the region and reinforces Volatus’ overall thermographic capabilities. “We began our expansion in the UK earlier this year with the addition of a seasoned business development executive, Steve Emerson, to build our presence and provide regional leadership. iRed is an established brand with a solid base of resources from which to grow that will enhance our global capabilities in thermography,” said Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace. “Thermography is in high demand in verticals like public safety, forestry, infrastructure, and agriculture. These use cases are only growing as drone capabilities mature and there is higher demand to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through early detection via thermographic imaging.” Founded in 2001, iRed started as a company specialized in infrared technologies, training, and services. While infrared training and inspection remains a core competency of the company, the advent of drones provided enhanced opportunity for thermography, which ultimately led to the expansion of the company into a variety of drone related services, equipment sales, and a diversified customer base. iRed is targeting year-end revenues of $1M with an EBITDA margin of 7%. “I’m very proud of what iRed has accomplished over the past 20 years,” said Ray Faulkner, President of iRed. “Joining Volatus will provide us with the resources necessary to take our company to the next level. We look forward to expanding our product offering, growing our service business, and pushing our training programs to the larger global market. Volatus Aerospace shares our commitment to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint, and we look forward to what we can accomplish together.” Under the terms of the agreement, Volatus will make an equity investment of £100K in iRed in exchange for newly issued shares (treasury shares) that will represent 51% of all outstanding shares. The investment will be used by iRed for ongoing expansion activities. The transaction is scheduled to close October 31 st, subject to board of director, regulatory, and TSX approvals. Volatus will assume over all long-term debt obligations of £221K and the seller is subject to operational and financial metric as defined in the definitive agreement, at one year anniversary, the iRed investor(s) will have an option to sell remaining 49% for up to £125K in exchange of Volatus shares at a valuation of $0.65 per share or 12 months anniversary price, whichever is lower. This news marks another geographic expansion for Volatus following the announcement of their joint venture in Latin America in June of this year as well as their commitment toward offering green solutions to their clients. About Volatus Aerospace: Volatus Aerospace Corp. is a leading provider of integrated drone solutions throughout North America and growing into Latin America and globally. Volatus serves civil, public safety, and defense markets with imaging and inspection, security and surveillance, equipment sales and support, training, as well as R&D, design, and manufacturing. Through our subsidiary, Volatus Aviation, we are introducing green and innovative drone solutions to supplement and replace traditional aircraft and helicopters for long-linear inspections such as pipeline, energy, rail, and cargo services.

BOO! Home Repair Doesn't Have to be Scary!

YourUpdateTV

We love Halloween but what can really give a homeowner a fright is when your house starts making creepy sounds or smelling funny. Not everyone is a repair expert, so how do homeowners know when they need to call an expert? Recently, Mark Dawson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Authority Brands’ Trade Brands, conducted a satellite media tour to share tips that can help consumers make sure their house is in tip-top shape and safe for family and friends this spooky season and beyond. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/3DMbh3PDuno Like a regular health check-up, a home maintenance schedule is important for every house's upkeep. Continuing to check on your appliances, heating and cooling, plumbing, and electrical systems will help prevent breakdowns, save money, and keep your home looking its best. It is important to prepare your home for the colder season ahead, to be mindful of those creepy sounds and smells, and to identify and repair any home issues that could cause larger problems for your home and family in the future. No matter what age you are, flickering lights will make you feel uneasy. While most reasons behind flickering lights are nothing to be concerned about, others could mean there’s a bigger issue in the house’s electrical system that could be a safety hazard for you and your family. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, house fires will occur in over 1 million American homes each year, so it’s important to get to the root of the problem sooner rather than later. In fact, one of the main causes of house fires is loose wiring. And loose wiring can present itself as flickering lights. If that’s the case, you’ll need a complete diagnostic to assess the danger and what needs to be addressed. A Mister Sparky electrician will not only try to fix the immediate problem of the flickering light but will inspect the home thoroughly to ensure that there are no loose wires anywhere else in the home. For more info or to request an appointment with your local Mister Sparky visit mistersparky.com. If you hear pipes rattling, thuds when you turn off a faucet, or gurgling sounds in the drain, then your plumbing system might need to be checked. When your plumbing system is working properly, you don't have to think about it. Water comes in, water and waste get removed – that's the end of the story. Unfortunately, things don't always go so smoothly. Sometimes, the plumbing can break down – noisily. When in doubt, call in a qualified plumber to diagnose your noisy pipes and get your plumbing system flowing in peak condition again. Give your local Benjamin Franklin Plumbing a call for any plumbing questions or visit benjaminfranklinplumbing.com for more info. When it comes to your home’s cooling and heating system, the majority of the time you’ll forget it’s there, as new and modern HVAC units are pretty quiet. However, you might come across the occasional clicking or funky smell that might make you think twice about what’s going on with your system. If your air conditioner is making any of these noises - squealing/screeching, rattling, buzzing, clicking, hissing, whistling, humming, cracking, or banging - it is best to consult with a trained, certified HVAC technician to pinpoint the issue and offer you the best advice for fixing the sound. Be sure to call the experts at your local One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning whenever you need fast, reliable service or visit onehourheatandair.com.
