Kirei Launches Lit Acoustic Lighting Collection

Kirei’s Lit Collection is a family of integrated acoustic lighting that combines sound absorption and illumination within a single ceiling solution. Developed in partnership with Seattle-based RESOLUTE Lighting, the Lit Collection integrates lighting directly into acoustic elements to reduce the need for additional ceiling fixtures and streamline specification and installation. Users can specify lit and unlit elements within a single acoustic system to maintain a cohesive visual language across the space. The acoustic products are made from recycled PET and support material selection through published Health Product Declarations (HPDs) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs); they also contribute to LEED and WELL building standards.

LiteTrace Introduces Bluetooth Wall Switch with Integrated Occupancy Sensor and Dimming

The Keilton+autani IWS102/DWS102 by LiteTrace Brands transforms standard wall switches into intelligent control hubs that manage both hardwired lighting and networked devices based on occupancy, without requiring ceiling-mounted sensors or fixture modifications. Unlike typical occupancy sensors that only control their hardwired load, the IWS102/DWS102 offers dual control architecture: hardwired occupancy-based switching for connected lighting plus wireless Bluetooth control of additional networked loads. The integrated 4-button interface provides manual dimming and On/Off control while occupancy functions operate independently. A single wall-mounted sensor orchestrates lighting and equipment control across an entire room through the Keilton+autani Bluetooth network, including plug load controllers (WF20R) for appliances and equipment. Ideal for conference rooms, private offices, lunch rooms, storage areas, copy rooms, and restrooms where coordinated lighting and equipment control maximizes energy savings.

Amerlux Mini Cavaletto Family

The Mini Cavaletto LED is a compact, recessed adjustable wall wash luminaire for commercial and retail environments. The unique optical design allows for 2:1 fixture to wall spacing while providing uniform light on the vertical plane. The Mini Cavaletto LED is a compact, recessed adjustable wall wash luminaire for commercial and retail environments. The unique optical design allows for 2:1 fixture to wall spacing while providing uniform light on the vertical plane. The high-performance optical head with various wattage options can be flush with the ceiling line to provide general illumination or pulled down (up to a 45-degree tilt) for wall washing or menu board lighting. Spaced up to 8′ on center, the Mini Cavaletto LED produces an even gradient of light for any vertical surface. Mini Cavaletto Family – Amerlux – Commercial Interior Lighting Products

Beyond Sound: How Semiconductor Innovation Is Transforming Audio Experiences

Audio is enriching lives, making listening experiences more immersive. Semiconductors are making premium recording equipment and high-quality entertainment production accessible to more people. But it’s also quietly improving your life, enabling more affordable and higher-performing electronics. Audio appeals to our emotions by immersing us in sound, but it also keeps the things we’re emotional about safe. For example, audio technology is an important aspect of maintaining the safe operation of humanoid robots. If a smoke alarm goes off while a robot is monitoring its environment, a semiconductor with a neural network-based algorithm can hear the smoke alarm and enable the humanoid to take appropriate action, such as alerting emergency services, protecting items with sentimental or monetary value or preventing incidents with pets.

How Simulations and Digital Twins Are Advancing Robotics

Agentic AI showed us the capabilities of autonomous AI systems in workflows. Now, physical AI is poised to show us the capabilities of autonomous systems in the physical world, but not without help, as noted in various sessions at Nvidia GTC 2026. Physical AIis an embodied system that uses sensors to process and understand its surroundings. Consider tools like autonomous vehicles that use sensors to process a host of environmental data to ensure safe transportation. Or medical robotics, which provides healthcare workers with a degree of precision they never had before. Physical AI and robotics stand to revolutionize and automate entire industries, but as emerging technologies, they’re still in their infancy. These tools still need to learn to navigate the world around them without risking harm to humans or organizational failure. Simulations and digital twins could provide an environment to test and refine robots before implementation.

Remembering the Solemn Purpose of Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed on the last Monday in May to honor and mourn U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the armed forces. The holiday traces its roots to the years immediately following the American Civil War (1861–1865), which caused massive casualties—roughly 620,000 soldiers dead, about 2% of the U.S. population at the time. Communities across the North and South began spontaneously decorating the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers, wreaths, and flags, a practice that gave rise to the original name: Decoration Day. On May 5, 1868, Major General John A. Logan, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR)—a powerful Union veterans’ organization—issued General Order No. 11. This proclaimed May 30, 1868, as a nationwide “Decoration Day” to honor those who died in the Civil War. After World War I, the holiday expanded to honor all American service members who died in any war, not just the Civil War.  In 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act to create more three-day weekends for federal employees. This moved Memorial Day to the last Monday in May, effective in 1971, when it was also officially named “Memorial Day.” As one 1868 quote put it: “That Nation which respects and honors its dead, shall ever be respected and honored itself.”
