COMCAST LAUNCHES SPEEDS FASTER THAN A GIG IN DEMING, PORTALES, AND TAOS

Comcast New Mexico

Comcast announced today internet speeds up to 1.2 Gbps (1,200 Mbps) are now available via the Xfinity 10G Network to nearly 20,000 homes and businesses in Deming, Portales, and Taos, New Mexico. These new speeds are available to new and existing customers. With the launch of new, faster speeds, Comcast, the nation’s largest provider of Gigabit internet, will provide internet options ranging from 50 Mbps to 1.2 Gbps, together with video, mobile, voice, home security and management products, and other products and services geared to local businesses. In addition, Xfinity Internet customers who lease a gateway will have access to Comcast’s next-generation cyber protection, xFi Advanced Security, that automatically detects and blocks of cyber threats like malware, providing peace of mind to consumers and businesses. “Comcast is committed to connecting more people to what matters most to them,” said Chris Dunkeson, Area Vice President, Comcast. “We’re excited to bring additional internet options to consumers and businesses on our fast, reliable, secure network. Whether it’s for work, school, or entertainment, our fiber-rich, gigabit network is built to meet the needs of tomorrow - today.” Comcast also is addressing digital equity in the communities we serve through Project UP, the company’s $1 billion dollar commitment to help tens of millions of people connect to the internet and build futures of unlimited possibilities. In the last three years, Comcast has invested more than $13.5 million in more than 75 nonprofit and community organizations across New Mexico. Additionally, Comcast will continue to bring affordable, high-speed internet to low-income households through Internet Essentials. In over 10 years, the program has connected more than 10 million Americans, including 412,000 New Mexicans. Comcast also proudly participates in the federal Affordable Connectivity Program, which provides a subsidy of up to $30 per month –up to $75 per month in tribal areas—to pay for Internet service, covering the full cost of both Internet Essentials (50/10 Mbps) and Internet Essentials Plus (100/20 Mbps) for eligible households.

Most Reliable Connection: Comcast is scaling the nation’s largest and most reliable network – the Xfinity 10G Network – that passes 60 million homes and business and counting. The company plans to launch a new device that is “storm-ready” with cellular and battery backup to help keep customers connected even when the power goes out. Ultra-Low Latency: The Xfinity 10G Network and the latest Xfinity Gateway are a powerful combination that deliver ultra-low latency for those moments when response times matter most like video games, a fast-growing category with Xfinity households averaging more than one gaming console per home.

Monogram Orthopedics Plans NASDAQ Listing After Reg A+ Funding Round Concludes

Monogram Orthopedics

Monogram Orthopedics will conclude their Reg A+ funding round in preparation for their planned Nasdaq listing under the reserved ticker symbol “MGRM.” Monogram is working to develop patient-optimized, 3D-printed orthopedic implants enabled by robotics with advanced pre-operative imaging. Investors who wish to participate in the offering can subscribe at Monogram Orthopedics |Reg A+ Investment and hit the invest now button after reviewing the Company’s offering documents. The ability to subscribe to the offering on the Company’s site will conclude on May 10, 2023. Approximately 1.7 million patients receive knee replacement surgeries each year, but up to 20% experience chronic pain after the procedure. In addition, 40% of total knee replacement revision surgeries are caused by mechanical loosening, showing a need to improve knee implants for better fixation. Because of this, one-in-five patients report high levels of dissatisfaction after their procedure, with over a third of patients (36%) reporting they wouldn’t choose to have the procedure if they could do it again. Monogram Orthopedics plans to address these issues by 3D-printing FDA-approved implants tailored to each patient's unique anatomy. They are developing low-latency active-milling robots to make the precise cuts needed for custom implants, which aims to reduce the number of incisions and bone loss during surgery. “By 2027 50% of knee replacement surgeries will be performed robotically. Monogram is currently the only company offering FDA-approved, 3D printed, patient-specific implants that, in the future, will be inserted with active milling robots,” Benjamin Sexson, CEO of Monogram Orthopedics said. “With the coming close of our current Reg A+ funding round we are happily looking forward to our planned public listing. We imagine our investors will be just as excited as we are to one day see ‘MRGM’ scrolling on the ticker outside the NASDAQ exchange’s building in Times Square,” he added. “Having been a critical part of the Monogram development and heavily involved in building the formative technology as the Company's longest-tenured employee, I can say on behalf of myself and my colleagues that this planned listing will be a tremendous accomplishment. It has been an honor to help push this engineering effort and to have had the opportunity to play such a critical role in developing this transformative product.” Sanath Vurelli, Senior Robotics Engineer, at Monogram Orthopedics said. The company recently demonstrated a total knee replacement surgery by a surgeon operating in New York City on a cadaver patient in Austin, Texas. Their 3D-printed replacement’s patented design facilitates a bone-to-implant bond so they do not rely on bone cement. ABOUT MONOGRAM ORTHOPEDICS Monogram Orthopedics is working to develop a product solution architecture with the long-term goal to enable patient-optimized orthopedic implants at scale by linking 3D printing and robotics with advanced pre-operative imaging. The Company has a robot prototype that can autonomously execute optimized paths for high precision insertion of implants in synthetic bone specimens. Monogram intends to produce and market robotic surgical equipment and related software, orthopedic implants, tissue ablation tools, navigation consumables, and other miscellaneous instrumentation necessary for reconstructive joint replacement procedures. The Company has not yet made 510(k) premarket notification submissions or obtained 510(k) clearances for any of its robotic products. FDA approval is required to market these products, and the Company has not obtained FDA approval for any of its robotic products, and it cannot estimate the timing, or assure the ability, to obtain such clearances. Monogram Orthopedics changing the way orthopedic surgery is done. Our system combines personalized knee implants with precision robotic surgical assistants, giving patients a better-fitting knee replacement with minimally invasive surgery. 100,000 knee replacements failing each year in a $19.4B market, represents an enormous opportunity for us.

CardSnacks Helps Loved Ones Send the Perfect E-Card with AI-Powered, Personalized Greeting Suggestions

CardSnacks

With Mother’s Day and Father’s Day holidays approaching, CardSnacks, the leading platform for individuals and businesses to send personalized e-greetings and gift cards, has introduced an artificial intelligence feature to assist senders in finding the right words to express their love and appreciation. For the first time, CardSnacks users will be able to employ AI-powered technology to build personalized greetings or use AI to suggest the right sentiment and approach for their own words. “Anyone who has ever sat down to write a personalized greeting knows that finding the right words to say is often hard,” said Mark Wachen, founder and CEO of CardSnacks. “With our new AI technology, users can now bring to life their own feelings faster and easier. Whether they adopt the AI suggestions fully or simply use them as a starting point for their own creativity, we are providing our users with a faster, more simplified approach to best express how they feel about those they love or respect.” The new AI feature allows users to set the stage for what they want to say. After choosing from one of the thousands of card options available, senders can then select their relationship to the recipient and the emotion they want to convey. Afterwards, CardSnacks provides AI-powered, personalized greetings to consider. For example, senders could choose a Mother’s Day card cover and then provide the app with details on the recipient and the type of message they want to create. Should the card be funny, sentimental, or heartfelt? Does your mother have specific interests or hobbies you want to mention? Do you want to send a regular message, or perhaps a rhyme? Through CardSnacks proprietary, easy-to-use AI card builder, a sender can input this information, and a customized greeting will be created in just seconds. Here’s a video that shows an example of what the experience would be like for a user of the CardSnacks app: cardsnacks.net/AI This does not mean, however, that you must use what the CardSnacks AI engine suggests. Users can edit the responses or create their own, using the AI feature solely as a way to get the thoughts started. Indeed, users can further add their own personalization by adding photos, videos, stickers and choosing music from tens of thousands of popular songs available in the app. And they can also include a gift by attaching a gift card from the over 400 leading retailers available in the CardSnacks app. “Until now, people had a choice that fell between pre-printed, canned messages and blank cards that sometimes challenged them to be creative,” Wachen said. “Our new feature is an ideal application of AI as it provides a fun easy way to take the thoughts in your head and instantly turn them into a fun, personalized greeting.” The feature is available now to all CardSnacks premium members, and for a limited time, can be sampled by free users as well. The feature is available on iOS, and will be coming to Android and the Web soon. About CardSnacks CardSnacks is the leading platform for individuals and businesses to send personalized e-greetings, invitations, and gift cards. It is based in New York, with employees in California, London, and Israel. CardSnacks is available in the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and on the web.
