Industry first standalone PCIe® 7.0 Protocol Exerciser, extends the Summit M616 Protocol Analyzer to deliver a complete validation and debug solution

MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Teledyne LeCroy, the worldwide leader in protocol test solutions, today announced the release of the Summit™ Z74 Protocol Exerciser for PCI Express® (PCIe®) 7.0 technology, designed to accelerate the development, validation, and debug of next-generation PCIe devices and systems. Summit Z74 operates as a standalone protocol exerciser for controlled traffic generation, or pairs with the Summit M616 Protocol Analyzer to create a complete PCIe 7.0 analysis and exerciser solution. Together, the platforms give engineering teams the control and visibility needed to expose interoperability issues earlier, shorten debug cycles, and reduce development risk.

Artificial intelligence, machine learning, high-performance computing (HPC), cloud infrastructure, and advanced storage applications are driving the demand for faster, lower-latency interconnects. To meet that demand, PCIe 7.0 specification doubles the raw data rate of PCIe 6.0 specification from 64.0 GT/s to 128.0 GT/s and delivers up to 512 GB/s of bi-directional bandwidth in a x16 configuration. At these speeds, Pulse Amplitude Modulation 4-level (PAM4) signaling, FLIT-based protocol, and increasingly complex system architectures require validation tools that can generate precise protocol traffic, emulate real-world workloads, reproduce problem conditions, and provide deterministic control over PCIe link behavior throughout the development lifecycle.

The Summit Z74 addresses these challenges with a flexible architecture for PCIe 7.0 technology development. Used independently, it enables engineers to generate controlled protocol traffic, exercise device behavior, and validate responses under targeted conditions. Paired with the Summit M616 Protocol Analyzer, the Summit Z74 becomes part of a comprehensive debug and validation system that combines traffic generation with deep protocol capture, decode, analysis, and debug. This solution enables engineering teams to efficiently isolate, resolve and verify link training behavior, transaction-level issues, protocol errors, LTSSM transitions, interoperability challenges, and compliance-development concerns within an industry-leading and customer familiar Summit workflow.

"The rapid evolution of PCI Express technology to the PCIe 7.0 specification is enabling new levels of performance for AI, storage, and high-performance computing applications," said Al Yanes, PCI-SIG President and Chairperson. "Protocol test equipment accelerates validation and ecosystem readiness to help engineers address growing system complexity."

"The Summit Z74 extends our long-standing commitment to the PCIe design and test community," said Michael Romm, General Manager, Teledyne LeCroy Protocol Solutions Group. "Engineering teams can deploy the industry's first standalone PCIe 7.0 protocol exerciser or pair it with the Summit M616 to create a complete, familiar environment for traffic generation, protocol visibility, validation, and debug. This flexibility helps customers protect their test investment while confidently advancing next-generation PCIe designs."

Foreclosure Starts Up 7 Percent Year Over Year; Completed Foreclosures (REOs) Up 42 Percent Annually

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ATTOM, the leading provider of property data, AI-powered intelligence, and real estate analytics solutions, today released its August 2026 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, which shows there were a total of 40,277 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings — default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions — up 1 percent from a month ago and up 13 percent from a year ago.

"August's data shows that foreclosure activity continues to trend above year-ago levels, particularly in completed foreclosures, which saw a notable annual increase," said Rob Barber, CEO at ATTOM. "While some homeowners are still facing financial challenges, overall foreclosure volumes remain well below historical norms and the broader housing market continues to demonstrate resilience."

South Carolina, Nevada, and Florida post worst foreclosure rates in August

Nationwide, one in every 3,569 housing units had a foreclosure filing in August 2026. South Carolina posted the nation's worst foreclosure rate, with one filing for every 1,547 housing units, followed by Nevada (one in every 1,920 housing units); Florida (one in every 2,397 housing units); Texas (one in every 2,445 housing units); and Maryland (one in every 2,530 housing units).

Among metro areas with populations of at least 200,000, Columbia, SC posted the nation's worst foreclosure rate in August 2026, with one foreclosure filing for every 1,232 housing units. It was followed by Punta Gorda, FL (one in every 1,249); Spartanburg, SC (one in every 1,262); Fayetteville, NC (one in every 1,458 housing units); and Charleston, SC (one in every 1,501).

Florida, Texas, and California lead the nation in foreclosure starts

Lenders initiated the foreclosure process on 25,894 U.S. properties in August 2026, down 3% percent from the previous month and up 7 percent from a year ago.

In August 2026, Florida led the nation in foreclosure starts (3,189 foreclosure starts); followed by Texas (3,126 foreclosure starts); California (2,565 foreclosure starts); Illinois (1,192 foreclosure starts); and Georgia (1,189 foreclosure starts).

Contrary to the national trend, among metropolitan areas with a population of at least 200,000 and at least 50 foreclosure starts, the following saw the largest year-over-year declines in foreclosure starts in August 2026: Cleveland, OH (decrease from 281 foreclosure starts in August 2025 to 175 in August 2026); Washington DC (decrease from 364 to 227 foreclosure starts); Providence, RI (decrease from 88 to 55 foreclosure starts); Raleigh, NC (decrease from 81 to 57 foreclosure starts); and Kansas City, MO (decrease from 104 to 75 foreclosure starts).

Completed foreclosures remain higher than a year ago

Lenders repossessed 5,794 U.S. properties through completed foreclosures (REOs) in August 2026, an increase of 22 percent from the previous month and 42 percent from a year earlier.

States with the highest number of REOs in August 2026 were Texas (1,835 REOs); California (589 REOs); North Carolina (356 REOs); Arizona (296 REOs); and Alabama (286 REOs).

Those major metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) with a population greater than 200,00 that saw the highest number of REOs in August 2026 included: Houston, TX (448 REOs); Dallas, TX (402 REOs); San Antonio, TX (256 REOs); Phoenix, AZ (186 REOs); and Baltimore, MD (167 REOs).

Key takeaways from the August 2026 foreclosure data

ATTOM's August 2026 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report shows that 40,277 properties nationwide had a foreclosure filing, up 1 percent from the previous month and 13 percent from a year ago. The data points to continued year-over-year increases across key foreclosure measures, with foreclosure starts rising 7 percent annually to 25,894 and completed foreclosures (REOs) increasing 42 percent to 5,794. Even with those gains, overall foreclosure activity remains below pre-pandemic norms.

Report methodology

The ATTOM U.S. Foreclosure Market Report provides a count of the total number of properties with at least one foreclosure filing entered into the ATTOM Data Warehouse during the month and quarter. Some foreclosure filings entered into the database during the quarter may have been recorded in the previous quarter. Data is collected from more than 3,000 counties nationwide, and those counties account for more than 99 percent of the U.S. population. ATTOM's report incorporates documents filed in all three phases of foreclosure: Default — Notice of Default (NOD) and Lis Pendens (LIS); Auction — Notice of Trustee Sale and Notice of Foreclosure Sale (NTS and NFS); and Real Estate Owned, or REO properties (that have been foreclosed on and repurchased by a bank). For the annual, midyear and quarterly reports, if more than one type of foreclosure document is received for a property during the timeframe, only the most recent filing is counted in the report. The annual, midyear, quarterly and monthly reports all check if the same type of document was filed against a property previously. If so, and if that previous filing occurred within the estimated foreclosure timeframe for the state where the property is located, the report does not count the property in the current year, quarter or month.

Catching accessibility issues after code ships costs teams time, trust, and rework. accessiBe's new Code Agent moves that review into the GitHub pull request itself, at the moment code is written.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- accessiBe, a global leader in digital accessibility, today announced Code Agent. The new capability is live in beta for eligible accessFlow customers. Code Agent reviews GitHub pull requests against WCAG 2.2 AA. It flags the exact line causing an issue and proposes the fix inline. Developers accept it, reject it, or discuss it in the thread. Nothing merges without their review.

Accessibility issues are written in code. But they've historically reached engineering from outside the code itself: a ticket, a screenshot, a reference number that isn't a line of code. By the time it arrives back to the developer, the code has often shipped and the team has moved on to the next sprint.

Code Agent moves that review to where the code already lives: inside the pull request, next to tests, lint, and build, while the author is still in the file and still the one deciding what ships. The fix happens right there, in GitHub, before the change ever reaches production, while the developer is working on the code and they are still the one deciding what ships.

How it works

Code Agent runs automatically when a pull request opens or updates, and it can also be triggered manually at any time.

It flags the exact line responsible for an issue and writes a suggested fix directly in the pull request, the same way a teammate's review comment would appear. Teams can set severity thresholds and exclude specific files or rules, so the review stays useful instead of becoming noise. They can also require it to pass before merge, the same way they already gate on tests and lint.

Code Agent supports Vanilla HTML/JavaScript, React, and Next.js today, with framework detection teams can override.

"Accessibility needs to be how software gets built, not something layered on after," said Robert Lopez, CEO of accessiBe. "Every issue that reaches a developer after code has shipped costs more to fix than it would have the first time, and leaves that exposure sitting in production longer than it should. Code Agent works where engineers are, so an issue gets caught before it ever ships."

accessiBe's unified engine, across every stage

Code Agent runs on the same unified accessibility engine that already powers accessiBe's platform: accessWidget for runtime remediation, accessFlow's monitoring and remediation tools, and accessScan for automated scanning and audit history. A fix proposed in a pull request reflects the same standard the site is measured against once it's live.

"We've been talking about shifting accessibility left for a long time. Code Agent is what that looks like in practice," said Sharon Uda, VP of R&D at accessiBe. "It reviews a pull request the same way our engine already reviews a live site, so it narrows the gap with a continuous accessibility standard from the first commit through production. Developers are in control and accept or reject every change themselves, so nothing ships without a human in the loop deciding it's right."

Availability

accessFlow Code Agent is live now in beta for eligible accessFlow customers. Existing customers can ask their account manager about enabling it for their team. New customers can get in touch with accessiBe to learn more.

Neurpac compacts LiDAR data by more than 75% when streamed over a cellular link

MORAGA, Calif., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Atombeam, an AI technology company that enables organizations to dramatically increase the bandwidth of their existing infrastructure with software alone, today announced that SIMSY will make Neurpac available to its customers who need to send back large amounts of data in real time. Moving LiDAR data over cellular was a need the network could not previously meet, and in testing SIMSY achieved 75% compaction with Neurpac.

That result gives SIMSY confidence that Neurpac will help its customers move large data sets of various kinds securely and effectively over cellular. SIMSY's network lets enterprises deploy connected devices at scale with strong security and no exposure to the public internet, and it combines device and connectivity management in a single interface.

"The uplink has always been the constraint in cellular. You get far less bandwidth going up than coming down, and that is precisely where large data like LiDAR gets stuck," said Alex Taylor, CEO and co-founder of SIMSY. "Neurpac compacted our LiDAR data by 75% in testing, so we are pushing a fraction of the bytes across the tightest part of the network. That is a real differentiator for anyone who needs to move and use LiDAR at scale, and our customers benefit from it immediately."

Neurpac uses machine learning to encode and decode patterns in data in microseconds, making data far smaller during transmission. Neurpac regularly demonstrates its ability to reduce data transmissions by 75% on average which is equivalent to multiplying the available bandwidth provided by 4x of any network or connection, or in the case of LiDAR increasing the bandwidth by 10x. As a result, transfers move dramatically faster and use less bandwidth. Beyond LiDAR, Neurpac works with inbound and outbound transfers of all forms of machine generated data, such as system event logs, sensor information, database information, SCADA, and much more; and is equally applicable to wired, cellular, and satellite networks.

Built for automation, cyber security and regulatory compliance, the SIMSY network is available across more than 600 cellular networks worldwide and supports the scalable deployment of connected devices on cellular networks. It delivers the zero-touch provisioning, real-time monitoring, compliance reporting and automated support that mission-critical use cases demand from autonomous vehicles, drones, industrial automation, digital signage, robotics, fleet EV charging, smart buildings, and AI and Internet of Things deployments at the edge.

SIMSY meets the most stringent security and compliance requirements and closes the monitoring gaps that have long affected cellular networks, because SIMSY controls the network itself, everything happens at the network level.

"SIMSY is already the network enterprises choose when they deploy cellular-connected devices in high-stakes environments," said Julien Dersy, chief product officer of Atombeam. "Neurpac makes that network do more with the bandwidth it already has, so customers move larger data streams faster. They gain that performance without giving up any of the security and compliance that led them to SIMSY in the first place."

About Atombeam

Atombeam is an AI technology company that uses AI to overcome the infrastructure challenges exacerbated by the stateless nature of Large Language Models (LLMs) and the dramatic growth of connected machines. The company's Neurpac solution enables organizations to shrink the size of all data, including file, block, SCADA and video by 75%. Neurpac also increases available bandwidth by up to 9x or more, strengthens security, and radically decreases network congestion with a software-only solution that can be deployed in existing stacks in just minutes. Enterprises gain the ability to do more with, and extend the life of, legacy infrastructure while simultaneously improving the performance of state-of-the-art wired, cellular and satellite networks. Atombeam is also developing the Persistent Cognitive Machine (PCM), a new AI architecture that supports continuous learning with real memory, delivering the understanding required for in-the-moment decision making in a solution light enough for chips and devices.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- "We thought there should be a way to increase the visibility of an off-road vehicle when riding at night," said one of three inventors, from La Grange, Ga., "so we invented the K 3 J LIGHTS. Our design ensures that others can see and recognize the vehicle to help avoid accidents."

The invention provides an effective way to make an off-road vehicle more visible at night and in low-light conditions. In doing so, it increases safety and convenience. It also offers an attractive and eye-catching appearance. The invention features a weatherproof design that is easy to install and use so it is ideal for operators of UTVs, ATVs, snowmobiles, personal watercraft, boats, dune buggies, and off-road pickups and SUVs. Additionally, a prototype model and technical drawings are available upon request.

The original design was submitted to the National sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 25-TKA-495, InventHelp, 100 Beecham Drive, Suite 110, Pittsburgh, PA 15205-9801, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.
