CYIOS CORP’S HELIO LENDING HAS WEATHERED THE CRYPTO CORRECTION

CYIOS Corp.

McapMediaWire -- CYIOS Corp’s: (OTC: CYIO ), a blockchain-focused holding company with operations in Crypto-lending, Web3 and NFT’s is pleased to provide the following update on the Company’s Helio Lending cryptocurrency CeFi aggregator platform business. Mr. John O’Shea, Cyios Corp Chairman commented, “While it’s been some tough sailing for many in the crypto space, we are pleased to say that Helio has weathered the crypto storm that has beleaguered the industry over the last year. Helio has differentiated itself by offering customers an array of loan options, as provided by a panel of lenders carrying various terms and structures, with the ability to pick from the best terms and rates available at any given time. Centralized finance, called 'CeFi' allows people to get loans on their cryptocurrency by lending or borrowing through a centralized corporation. At no time does Helio take crypto risk by doing direct lending or carrying crypto on its books, rather it performs a white-glove concierge referral service for customers looking for a higher level of service with direct contact to the various lenders. Just recently Helio had several million dollars of rollovers whereby the customers chose to keep their funds with the lender at the end of the loan term and roll into another loan. Why is this important? First of all, we evaluated multiple lenders and graded them from low risk to high risk taking into account various factors. Our affiliate panel lenders have withstood the test of time, are very professional, have extensive knowledge of financial markets and products, and their back office compliance is strong. Helio did the work for our clients in evaluating the field of lenders and none of the prominent players that crashed and lost billions are or were on our list of lenders. The company looks forward to providing additional updates soon in regards to other business developments management is working on.” CONTACT INFORMATION Public and Investor Relations: admin@cyioscorporation.com Investors are encouraged to follow CYIOS using: www.twitter.com/cyioscorp About Helio Lending, PTY LTD Founded in 2018, Helio Lending has developed a CeFi cryptocurrency lending platform comprised of a panel of affiliate lenders providing access to the most competitive rates and offers for crypto loans.

Lasers Are Bringing Cleantech To Industrial Cleaning, And Laser Photonics (NASDAQ: LASE) Is Helping To Lead The Way

Laser Photonics Corporation

By David Willey, Benzinga Read the latest report on Laser Photonics here. The development of new technology causes constant disruptions across industries, as people develop more and better ways to be efficient, save costs, and protect the environment. Laser Photonics (NASDAQ: LASE), an industrial laser technology developer and manufacturer, is producing a variety of industrial lasers that are made to drive efficiency in the industrial cleaning sector. Dealing with the cost of rust and corrosion is expensive in the U.S. economy, and annual costs incurred add up to an estimated $276 billion across industries. Big contributors include the oil and gas industry, which alone spends $14 billion on rust corrosion control according to Laser Photonics. Meanwhile, the Department of Defense spends $20 billion on corrosion control and material applications, according to its latest available report. Traditional methods of coping with rust and corrosion generally involve abrasive cleaning, like sandblasting. Sandblasting involves blowing a stream of sand particles at the surface of the object. However, this method is labor intensive, requiring both time-consuming preparation and cleanup of material. It can also often be imprecise and risks damaging the object being cleaned. The same is true of two other traditional cleaning methods, dry ice blasting and chemical cleaning. Laser Photonics products can drastically reduce the cost of cleaning, as they are efficient and don’t involve time-consuming cleanup. These lasers generate a high-powered beam that can deploy with great precision and avoid damaging the substrate being cleaned. Laser Photonics’ Efficient, Cost-Effective Laser Systems Laser Photonics touts its line of CleanTech lasers as offering key advantages over traditional, abrasive cleaning methods for industrial cleaning, corrosion control, paint removal, and more. The lasers, which cost between $50,000 and $350,000, deliver a high-energy laser beam that cleans surfaces easily and quickly. The lasers require little maintenance, and the company claims its products have a 15-year depreciation compared to five years for other laser systems. By cutting time in setup and cleanup, these lasers can cut use time in half compared with abrasive cleaning methods. Vincent Galiardi, the CEO of a surface cleaning company that uses Laser Photonics products, said: “As people become more aware of laser-based systems and compare them to traditional methods, they need to factor in prep and cleanup time, which can significantly impact project cost. When the improved operator safety, equipment longevity and lower maintenance of laser systems are also considered, the clean laser technology has a much higher ROI.” Laser Photonics is integrating the Internet of Things (IOT) to look to make its lasers the most efficient solution in the industry. This upgrade will allow the company to track its key performance indicators (KPIs) and enhance the value production of its lasers. The company is also rolling out its next generation of utility-grade lasers this year, to serve utility companies dealing with the costs of an aging electrical system. CEO Wayne Tupola commented on the plans, “Our goal is to develop a CleanTech system specific for these utility applications, aiming to reduce the cost and risk associated with today’s processes that can be safely operated on the ground, by a single technician, providing a safer, greener and more cost-effective solution to utility companies.” The efficiency offered by Laser Photonics’ products is why companies across a range of industries, like aerospace, automotive, defense, energy, and maritime, use its lasers. With over 35 years of experience in the industry, Laser Photonics has built a robust customer base that includes numerous Fortune 500-1000 customers, as well as different government sectors. Also involved in the laser industry are companies like Lumentum Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: LITE), CyberOptics Corp. (NASDAQ: CYBE) and IPG Photonics Corp. (NASDAQ: IPGP).

Hawex: KYC & AML in the Financial Technology Industry

Hawex Group Ltd

Financial services in a non-face-to-face format are actively being integrated into our lives and, like any new phenomenon, are introducing new concepts and terms. The idea that KYC and AML are identical phenomena is a common misconception of the users who encounter the misuse of the terms now and then. Roman Nekrutenko, CEO of the fintech company Hawex, tells us the key points of the KYC and AML procedures in his company. KYC and AML — regulation in the financial market Indeed, KYC and AML are often used together as part of countering criminal financial fraud and inspecting businesses, but these procedures are not interchangeable. The difference between KYC and AML becomes clear if you learn what their abbreviations stand for. In the context of the financial market, the KYC procedure means "Know Your Customer", and the principle of AML (Anti-Money Laundering) is a whole complex of regulatory operations and methods to prevent the laundering of funds obtained illegally. Therefore, conducting KYC in Hawex allows us to say with high probability that we know the real identities of our clients, and compliance with AML in Hawex helps to detect unreliable financial transactions and significantly reduce the likelihood of illegal funds entering the legal economy. Hawex KYC: why is it necessary to "know your customer"? Have you ever taken a selfie and a photo of your identification document when registering on financial services? If the registration was successful, you were identified by the document and verified by the actual selfie, and thus you successfully passed the KYC procedure. This initial verification and proof of identity are necessary for any financial service provider, including Hawex. To reduce the likelihood of situations when third parties seek to use the company's services by appropriating a photo of someone else's identification document, or persons included in criminal lists. In the absence of KYC, a fraudster can access the services of a financial institution under a false name and use them to conduct transactions anonymously. This is at best. At worst, they may be involved in international lists of financial sanctions and use the software of a financial organization for criminal activity. In addition, they can do fraud on behalf of someone else, which will entail a lot of problems for this person, thus you will not have any doubts about the need for KYC in Hawex. Accordingly, KYC refers to AML as a particular to the general: identification and verification of the identity of a potentially new counterparty is only one of the primary stages of the multi-stage AML system. For Hawex, as for any financial service provider, the client or counterparty is deprived of anonymity through KYC. There is also a psychological aspect to the procedure — the desire to remain anonymous is one of the alarming signs about the client's unreliability. After all, in the case of the legality of income and compliance with the law, a person would not want to conceal their identity when contacting Hawex. Hawex AML: Combating Financial Crimes As part of the fight against financial crimes, Hawex fulfills the list of AML requirements, which are imposed on all participants of the financial market, in accordance with the necessary AML laws, recommendations, regulations and guidelines of regulators. Hawex uses internal control systems and customer due diligence to timely detect individuals who have decided to use the company's services for their illegal purposes. Despite the specific meaning of AML as a fight against criminally acquired funds, it has become the norm in the financial market to mean by this abbreviation a whole range of preventive methods to combat various financial crimes, including sanctions evasion and terrorist financing. Any entity which is the subject of AML requirements faces the high cost of their qualitative compliance and the need to systematically modernize their approaches to work. This is natural, because fraudsters are constantly developing their methods of conducting criminal activity in order to circumvent the protection mechanisms. Financial entities need to strictly comply with KYC and AML in order to reduce the likelihood of using criminally acquired funds in the legal economy. That is why only internationally recognized providers are used to implement Hawex AML procedures. It is important that Hawex is attentive not only to technological tools, but also to hiring its specialists in order to competently comply with all AML requirements. Hawex employs AML-certified specialists who are current members of ACAMS (Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists). These employees keep others informed about trends in the financial world and they are aware of all necessary differences in the laws of international jurisdictions. Hawex in a dynamic market I will assume that in the average user’s view, financial entities are rarely associated with crime fighters. At least, their primary goal is to gain competitive advantage in the market and maximize profits for their shareholders. But I want to emphasize that any financial institution must allocate significant resources to meet the requirements of AML, and Hawex strictly complies with it, said Roman Nekrutenko, CEO of the fintech company Hawex. Competent Hawex AML specialists carry out regular training for the company's personnel in order to promptly inform employees about significant changes in legislation, as well as the latest trends, technologies and the internal control system in the field of AML. The training is conducted not only with the staff of employees who directly work in AML, but also with the "first line of defense" — account managers. It is essential because proper awareness at the stage of the first and consecutive interactions should be in place at the stage of checking a potential client. Hawex follows all trends in international legislation and best practices of financial organizations for appropriate compliance with AML procedures. To minimize inconsistencies during work, Hawex, even during AML procedures, refers to The Four Eyes principle, according to which each stage of work should be validated by several employees. Motivating employees to competently comply with Hawex KYC and AML requirements is an important component of the well-coordinated work of the Hawex staff. We develop a culture of compliance with high standards in our activities and in the activities of our employees. Thus, Hawex regularly undergoes an external audit of the internal control system, which is aimed at identifying any inconsistencies, including those on the part of the company's employees. In case of detection of such inconsistencies, Hawex develops a change plan according to the auditors’ conclusion and implements it as soon as possible. Thus, Hawex not only follows all legal requirements, but also strives for the timely integration of the latest technologies in the field of AML/CTF. Hawex's interest, attention and compliance with dynamic transformations in the field of AML is the key to adequate implementation of all stages of the policy and procedures in order to maintain the company's competitiveness in the market and prevent criminal activities that can harm people and businesses.

New Real Estate Savings Bonds Offer 7.00% APY

Compound Banc

Investing in real estate has long been recognized as a path to building wealth while generating passive income, but it’s an asset class that’s historically been out of reach for most people because it’s so expensive to buy property. But now, one financial technology (fintech) company is offering real estate bonds that are accessible to everyone. For as little as $10, everyday investors can buy Compound Banc ’s real estate bond and receive a fixed 7.00% annual compound return on their investments — 125% more than the national average savings rate. Compounding is what happens when earnings — either from capital gains or interest — are reinvested to generate additional earnings over time. Using the Compound Banc calculator, you can figure out how much you will earn from your investment over a given period of time. How It Works Compound Banc’s digital app allows investors to purchase real estate bonds, and the company either lends the funds to cash-generating real estate or invests in the properties. The borrowers pay back Compound Banc with interest on the loans. Compound bonds don’t have a maturity date, so investors can keep earning for as long as they want or cash them out at any time with the click of a button. This fintech doesn’t charge fees for maintenance, setup, redemption or advisers, which eliminates many roadblocks to real estate investing. Compound Banc invests in high-value real estate assets consisting of residential, commercial and industrial properties, which results in a diversified portfolio of stable, income-producing properties and real estate-related debt. It uses technology and data science to implement its strategy of acquiring assets for less than what it believes their intrinsic value is. Compound Banc provides fixed contractual returns because you’re investing in bonds, unlike other investments where past performance is not indicative of future success. While you could put your money in a savings account where the average annual APY is 0.33%, you will lose purchasing power each year because the rate won’t keep up with inflation. Buying Compound Banc’s real estate bond will help you grow your money faster. Compound Banc is a next generation financial technology company, not a traditional bank. We strive to unlock financial freedom for all by building a simple financial ecosystem that makes it possible for the everyday consumer to access assets that have historically been reserved for Wall Street, not Main Street. The firm is known for managing real estate bond offerings to non-accredited investors. Compound Real Estate Bonds (CREB) brings private real estate to the everyday investor’s portfolio without the complexity of it. CREB will invest bond proceeds in real estate debts investments and income-generating commercial real estate across key property types on a global basis. The firm is led by a team with decades of expertise in real estate and alternative asset management and indexing. Our professionals work in offices across the globe, united by a single purpose: unlocking access for everyday investors. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

Foresight’s Technology Recognized as a Significant Breakthrough by Israel’s Ministry of Defense

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd.

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), an innovator in automotive vision systems, announced today that its QuadSight® stereovision solution was recognized as a significant technological breakthrough by Israel’s Ministry of Defense. The QuadSight solution was tested extensively for more than two years in challenging weather and environmental conditions by the Administration for Research and Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure of Israel’s Ministry of Defense. The tests were conducted to search for an alternative sensor to replace active LiDAR sensors. In addition, the performance of Foresight’s high-resolution point cloud was tested against LiDAR on platforms designed for autonomous driving. The Ministry of Defense concluded that Foresight's passive stereo technology exceeded all requirements and declared it to be a significant technological breakthrough for defense applications. Autonomous vehicles require a sensing system that enables accurate perception of the surrounding environment in order to navigate and detect obstacles. Currently, the most commonly used sensors for military vehicles are active LiDAR sensors which constantly broadcast their location and can be easily detected by the enemy. Foresight’s passive, non-emitting stereo capabilities provide unique 3D perception of the environment. These capabilities are vital to the defense industry, as they leave no energy signature discernible to an adversary.

What’s The Buzz? AI Stocks On The Move (AI, EPAZ, STRC, PLTR, NVDA)

RazorPitch EPAZ

As the field of artificial intelligence continues to rapidly evolve and expand, investing in AI companies has become an increasingly attractive opportunity for investors to capitalize on the growing industry. There are two main methods used by businesses to use artificial intelligence. Many large tech companies use AI to make their existing operations more powerful, such as through high-profile applications like robotics, self-driving cars, and virtual assistants. Some companies also profit directly from AI by selling the hardware, software, services, or expertise that the technology needs. According to Grand View Research, the global artificial intelligence market size was valued at USD 136.55 billion in 2022 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 37.3% from 2023 to 2030, making these next few years pivotal in the growth of the sector. With the AI market already large and still growing quickly, plenty of companies can profit from AI. Although picking stocks in a growth industry comes with a lot of uncertainty, these AI stocks are all worth considering. One stock investors should take a look at is EPAZ. Epazz Inc. (OTC: EPAZ) is a mission-critical provider of drone technology, blockchain mobile apps, and cloud-based business software solutions. A few weeks ago, EPAZ detailed an update regarding the ZenaDrone lineup. The company announced that the aerial technology used by ZenaDrone 1000 from EPAZ will soon receive an update to its artificial intelligence (AI) predictive automation software. ZenaDrone Inc., a spinoff of Epazz Inc. Holdings, is a manufacturer of multipurpose drones equipped with machine learning systems, multispectral sensors, and AI technology. The data gathered by ZenaDrone's cameras is used to build an interactive 3D environment. According to the update, the ZenaDrone team will employ predictive AI analytics, or "predictive modeling," a type of analysis that employs methods and resources to create predictive models and make predictions of future outcomes based on acquired data. Following the updates, EPAZ announced that the company is submitting over five Phase I proposals to the U.S. government under its SBIR Phase I program. SBIR Phase 1 allows small businesses with innovative products to receive US government contracts within 90 days of submission. If ZenaDrone is awarded a Phase I contract worth up to $75,000 per proposal, EPAZ will then be in a position to submit for Phase 2 contracts, worth up to $1.2 million per contract. ZenaDrone will gain the ability to be listed as the sole source supplier of its technology, which would allow the U.S. government to purchase the ZenaDrone 1000 without a bidding process. CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D., said, "We are working towards our first government contract using multiple avenues, which will hopefully lead to our first set of government customers, and through The SBIR would open us up to the whole federal government for our drone technology." The possibility of higher returns exists for more seasoned investors or those who don't mind taking on risk on the OTC markets. For investors interested in the high tech and AI sectors, EPAZ offers an attractive play, with competitive technology that the company continues to improve and invest in. Another company that is leveraging the use of AI in its products is C3.AI (NYSE: AI), which operates as an enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) software company and offers the C3 AI application platform. The C3 application platform is an application development and runtime environment that enables customers to design, develop, and deploy enterprise AI applications. Additionally, it provides integrated turnkey business AI applications for industries including oil and gas, chemicals, utilities, manufacturing, financial services, defense, intelligence, aerospace, healthcare, and telecommunications. The company’s AI solutions are applicable across multiple industries, which gives it an advantage and makes it a promising long-term investment option. On February 21, C3.ai announced that its expanded collaboration with Amazon Web Services is aimed at leveraging the power of AI to help customers in industries such as defense and intelligence tackle their most pressing business challenges. As part of this collaboration, C3.ai will integrate its AI applications, including C3 AI Law Enforcement, with AWS services such as Amazon Comprehend. C3.ai reported impressive financial results in its previous fiscal quarter. The company’s revenue increased 7% year over year, reaching $64.2 million. Subscription sales grew by 26% to $59.5 million in the previous quarter. Keep an eye out, as this AI stock seems to be trending in the right direction. Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation (NASDAQ: STRC, STRCW) designs, develops, and manufactures a broad range of advanced mobile robotic systems that are designed to enable the safest and most productive workforce in the world. Sarcos robotic systems include baseline software enabling basic controls, teleoperation, and semi-autonomous capabilities. Sarcos will provide additional software options, such as supervised autonomy, as an incremental service.

The company’s advanced, success-based AI enables human workers' flexibility, creativity, and improvisation skills to deliver improved workflow performance and safer interactions between humans and machines for jobs in unstructured environments. In addition, Sarcos intends to offer its software solutions separately for sale or license. Drew Hamer, CFO of Sarcos, said, “We see strong demand to purchase Sarcos robotic systems." "We expect to sell solutions for specific markets and use cases based on our customers' needs and applications.” STRC recently announced their preliminary fourth quarter 2022 revenue of $6.1 million and full year 2022 revenue of $14.6 million, each at the high end of their guidance range. The market for robotic security is predicted to expand in the coming years and could reach $71.8 billion by 2027. Keep STRC on your watchlist as the sector continues its growth. Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR) builds and deploys software platforms for the intelligence community in the United States to assist in counterterrorism investigations and operations. Palantir Gotham, a software offered by PLTR, enables users to identify patterns hidden deep within datasets, ranging from signals intelligence sources to reports from confidential informants, and facilitates the handoff between analysts and operational users, helping operators plan and execute real-world responses to threats that have been identified within the platform. It also offers Palantir Foundry, a platform that transforms the ways organizations operate by creating a central operating system for their data and allowing individual users to integrate and analyze the data they need in one place. In addition, the company also has its Palantir Apollo software, which allows customers to deploy their own software in virtually any environment. PLTR rose last week after posting its first profit of 4 cents a share, albeit non-GAAP. The company earned $31 million on a GAAP measure, or a penny a share. PLTR is closer to reporting GAAP profitability this year due to strong cost control, showing a marked improvement in its business fundamentals. Palantir was able to report a positive GAAP net income in the past quarter and is guided to have a profitable year in 2023; previously, it was not expected to reach breakeven until 2025. One of the top companies in the AI sector right now, would be Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). Nvidia provides software development tools to build artificial intelligence applications. For its fiscal fourth quarter, NVDA outperformed Wall Street expectations thanks to an 11% increase in data center chip sales to $3.62 billion, driven by cloud service providers' investments in artificial intelligence technology. Nvidia has taken advantage of the AI boom, because its graphics cards are becoming the de facto standard in data centers around the world. The initial stage of machine learning, known as "training," requires an immense amount of computing power; the subsequent stage, known as "inference," requires less. Both phases however; are well supported by graphics processing unit (GPU) chips produced by NVDA, which are typically used for rendering video games.

OnePlus Announces a Technical Partnership with Perfect World Games about Ray Tracing on Mobile

OnePlus

BARCELONA, SPAIN - Media OutReach - 27 February 2023 - Global leading technology company OnePlus today announces a technical partnership with Perfect World Games on ray tracing technology. Both parties work closely to bring the ray tracing technology to Tower of Fantasy in-game play on the OnePlus 11 5G. “We’re extremely thrilled to cooperate with Perfect World Games to showcase this industry-leading technology that shapes the future of mobile gaming experience on the OnePlus 11 5G”, said Kinder Liu, OnePlus COO and Head of R&D. “OnePlus is dedicated to providing the most immersive game experience to our users and today we take this experience to a new level”. “We’re excited to cooperate with OnePlus to apply this advanced technology that previously only be seen on PCs in mobile phone,” said Dan Xu at Perfect World Games. “As a leading game developer, our mission is to bring the best experience to gamers, and ray tracing technology will dramatically transform the in-game experience”. Ray Tracing on Mobile Gaming Ray tracing is a technology that enables dynamic in-game lighting, reflections, cross-physics illuminations and shadows, allowing for extreme environmental realism when gaming. The newly launched OnePlus 11 5G is equipped with Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 mobile platform that supports hardware accelerated ray tracing technology, which provides the opportunity for OnePlus to work with Perfect World Games to fully explore the potential of ray tracing on mobile. Ray Tracing in Open World MMORPG on Mobile Compared to traditional MMORPG games, incorporating ray tracing in open-world games has significant technical challenges, especially on mobile platform. Perfect World Games developed techniques such as a distance-based dynamic object frame-updating mechanism and range-based ray tracing culling based on light source perspective, which enables players to experience real-time stable frames while enjoying ray tracing effects. Additionally, for the open-world scenes in Tower of Fantasy, the ray tracing acceleration structures are further optimized through employing small object culling and view frustum culling based on camera frustum solid angle. By accurately simulating the propagation and interaction of light rays, players can immerse themselves in the Vera desert and experience the more realistic effect of flames from the surroundings and the hot sand underfoot. Normally, open world MMORPG game experience is more immersive than traditional MMORPG game due to more realism detailed objects, and this experience is further elevated by ray tracing technology. Occlusion and shadows in open world scenes are accurately calculated to precisely illuminate and shade the objects of all sizes and scales in Tower of Fantasy. This is totally different with traditional rendering methods which often miss intricate details in scenes, leading to inaccurate or missing occlusion and shadows. For instance, by calculating the occlusion effect of the scene under a uniform intensity of light, ray tracing on Tower of Fantasy enhances and improves the contrast between light and dark in the visuals, achieving more realistic shadows and ultimately adding a stronger sense of spatial depth and realism to the game's environments. The introduction of mobile ray tracing technology also enables more accurate capturing of shadows and occlusion effects of objects in the distance and behind other objects, resulting in better visual performance compared to traditional rendering techniques. Moreover, with mobile ray tracing enabled, the game improves the effect of simulating the absorption of physically accurate light as it passes through and reflects off water surfaces. Difficulty here is that light is comprised of various wavelengths of light waves, and when these light waves enter the water, they are absorbed differently. Ray Tracing on the OnePlus 11 5G The objective for this partnership is to improve the visual and performance experience on mobile device. To improve the graphics quality, engineers from OnePlus and Perfect World Games co-developed the Real-time Inline Ray Tracing Pipeline and a novel Fast Temporal Convergence Algorithm for Ambient Occlusion, specifically tailored to meet the demands of “Tower of Fantasy” by utilizing a forward rendering pipeline. To cope with the demanding graphics computing power brought by ray tracing technology, the Spatiotemporal Oversampling is employed. Thanks to its over-the-top hardware specs including 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, 256GB ROM with UFS 4.0, and the new Cryo-velocity VC Cooling System, the OnePlus 11 5G can support the real-time rendering of mobile ray tracing on the graphics of Tower of Fantasy. From February 27 th to March 2 nd, OnePlus will showcase ray tracing enabled Tower of Fantasy at Hall 3, 3M10 at MWC 2023.
