YANTAI, China, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In traditional industrial settings, equipment monitoring often relies on periodic inspections or post-failure analysis, allowing risks to escalate into costly downtime and safety incidents. Raytron, a leader in infrared thermal imaging, launches its intelligent infrared monitoring system, which combines advanced infrared sensors and AI algorithms. Designed for high-temperature industrial environments, the system enables continuous, non-contact monitoring and early detection of thermal anomalies before failures occur.

Real-Time Infrared Thermal Imaging Reveals Hidden Equipment Risks

Every object above absolute zero emits infrared radiation, which can be captured by infrared sensors and translated into visualized thermal maps. In environments like metallurgical furnaces, heat treatment plants, and high-temperature pipelines, internal conditions are impossible to observe directly. Subtle shifts in surface temperature, however, often serve as the earliest indicators of internal failure. Raytron’s online thermal camera allows engineers to identify these hidden risks before a breakdown occurs.

Key Advantages of Raytron’s Industrial Thermal Imaging Solution

• Ultra-High Infrared Resolution: Thermal imaging resolutions up to 1200 × 600 deliver detailed temperature data across extreme operating ranges from 0°C to 2000°C, enabling precise analysis at the pixel level.
• Real-Time, Non-Contact Monitoring: Continuous thermal visualization detects abnormal heat patterns without interrupting production.
• Intelligent Alarms: Custom monitoring zones and temperature thresholds trigger automated alerts when anomalies are detected.
• Remote Monitoring for Safer Operations: Engineers can access live thermal images and temperature trend data from centralized control rooms.

Case Study: Infrared Thermal Imaging for Rotary Kiln Monitoring

The rotary kiln is the “heart” of cement, metallurgical, and chemical production. Constant thermal shock and chemical erosion cause refractory linings to thin or fall off, leading to “hot spots” that threaten structural integrity and cause catastrophic downtime. Raytron’s TN460U high-temperature thermal camera provides continuous, non-contact surface monitoring to accurately assess lining health. This data guides operators in predicting lining wear and managing ring formations. By helping identify “red kiln” conditions at an early stage, Raytron supports OEMs and plant managers in reducing the risk of unplanned shutdowns and improving industrial safety.

About Raytron

With deep expertise in infrared, microwave, and laser multi-dimensional sensing, Raytron provides high-performance chips and terminals for industrial monitoring, smart manufacturing, security, low-altitude economy and other industries. The company is committed to driving technical progress that creates incremental value for its global partners.

The first laser UST projector to deliver true 200-inch 4K projection has become the fastest hardware project to reach the $10 million milestone on Kickstarter.

DELRAY BEACH, Florida, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AWOL Vision, a global leader in next-generation audiovisual technology, today announced that its Aetherion series of 4K triple laser ultra short throw (UST) projectors has surpassed $10 million in Kickstarter funding within the first 12 hours of launch, setting a new speed record of hardware projects to reach the eight-figure threshold. The campaign has been supported by over 3,900 backers worldwide, signaling unprecedented demand for premium large-screen home entertainment.

AWOL Vision is now the first UST projector brand to secure a $10M+ crowdfunding campaign. Combined with the prior success of its sub-brand Valerion ($10.92M), the company becomes the category’s first to host multiple $10M+ Kickstarter campaigns.

“Reaching $10 million in just 12 hours is more than a crowdfunding milestone; it is a defining moment for both AWOL Vision and the ultra short throw category,” said Andy Zhao, CEO of AWOL Vision. “This monumental achievement signals a shift in consumer behavior. People are voting with their wallets for a more immersive, cinematic home entertainment experience. We believe this milestone represents the transition of ultra short throw home theaters from a niche premium choice into a scalable mainstream market, and the true beginning of a new era for home entertainment.”

The Aetherion series is the result of a three-year advanced R&D program focused on solving one of the most persistent technical challenges in large-scale projection: maintaining precise, uniform image quality at extreme screen sizes. AWOL Vision engineers redesigned the optical system from the ground up, culminating in the proprietary PixelLock™ optical alignment system. The technology delivers consistent edge-to-edge clarity on screens up to 200 inches, reducing distortion and softness and enabling true cinema-scale performance in residential environments.

The record-setting campaign builds on AWOL Vision’s established crowdfunding track record, reinforcing the company’s credibility in delivering high-performance projection innovations supported by strong global demand.

The opening-day performance positions the Aetherion series as one of the most successful premium home entertainment launches on the platform and signals surging demand for theater-scale, cinema-grade viewing experiences at home. Like a record-smashing opening weekend, early momentum reflects powerful audience appetite for immersive, wall-filling projection that transforms everyday spaces into private screening rooms.

The Aetherion series Kickstarter campaign remains active until April 1, 2026. Early backers can secure significant launch savings, with the Aetherion Pro available for $1,999 (MSRP $3,499) and the flagship Aetherion Max for $2,199 (MSRP $4,499). For a limited time, supporters can also access exclusive premiere bundles that pair the projectors with premium screens and audio systems at special backer-only pricing.  Products will begin shipping in April 2026.

Through a tiered tournament structure and substantial incentives,  HTX aims to deliver a high-value, world-class digital asset trading experience for its global user base.

Join in HTX Trading Championship II: https://www.htx.com/en-us/topic/activities/web/peakMatch?id=177077608059086

Points Contest II Opens First: Trade to Earn Lanterns and Redeem $400,000 in Physical Gold

Kicking off the championship is Points Contest II, running from February 11 to February 21. Timed to coincide with the Chinese Lunar New Year, the campaign invites participants to earn “New Year Lanterns” through eligible spot and futures trading activities. These Lanterns can be redeemed for rewards, with a total physical gold prize pool valued at $400,000.

To ensure inclusivity, Points Contest II features three tiers: First-Time Tasks, Silver Tasks, and Platinum Tasks. This framework accommodates everyone from new users to high-frequency professional traders.

Participants activate their “New Year Fortune” and receive initial Lanterns by completing their first spot trade, futures trade, or transfer to a USDT-M account. As trading volume increases, users unlock the Silver and Platinum tiers. At the highest tier, a cumulative spot volume of 10 million USDT yields 700 Lanterns, while a futures volume of 300 million USDT yields up to 3,800 Lanterns.

Each participant can accumulate a maximum of 6,226 Lanterns. These can be redeemed for a variety of physical gold rewards, including 20-gram investment gold bars, 10-gram HTX commemorative gold coins, as well as selected gold ornaments and jewelry. This redemption structure ensures that reward value scales proportionally with trading volume.

Additionally, the 8th, 88th, 888th, and 8,888th registered users will each receive a special “Gold Fortune Bead.”

Up Next: AI-Powered Trading Challenge & Team Battles

Following the Points Contest, the competition intensifies with the Trading Challenge and Team Battles, where contenders vie for the majority of the remaining prize pool.

Running from February 21 to March 8, the Trading Challenge II introduces upgraded rules and two distinct ways to win. A dual-metric evaluation—based on both PnL and PnL%—levels the playing field, giving both large-scale investors and highly skilled traders a real shot at the prizes. To turn up the excitement, new and returning users can unlock a massive 3× reward boost, supercharging their climb up the leaderboards.

Team leaders earn double incentives, including a share of team profits and exclusive leadership bonuses.

Hong Leong Bank Reimagines Its Affluent Wealth Management Segment for High Net-Worth Individuals

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hong Leong Bank (“HLB” or the “Bank”) has evolved its affluent wealth management segment into HLB Priority, marking a strategic shift from transactional “Priority Banking” toward a sophisticated, advisory-led model. This transformation merges institutional financial solutions with personalized advisory and exclusive lifestyle privileges, designed to help clients achieve five core outcome-driven goals: Preservation, Income, Growth, Diversification, and Legacy.

As a key engine of the Bank’s 3-5 Year Transformative Plan, this evolution builds upon strategic milestones such as HLB’s alliance with Lombard Odier and its renewed Shariah-compliant proposition under Hong Leong Islamic Bank (“HLISB”).

“As Malaysia enters a significant era of wealth transfer, the next generation of High Net-Worth Individuals (“HNWI”) are increasingly seeking sophisticated, value-added services from wealth managers. In our commitment to transcend the ‘banking’ label, we are deliberately shifting to a dedicated advisory-led model, looking towards the long-term stewardship of our client’s aspirations. With this, we believe wealth management can no longer be viewed as a peripheral service. Our strategy is built on the principle of mutual growth where by delivering high-value advisory, specialized solutions and exclusive privileges, we are simultaneously driving the Bank’s wealth franchise as a primary engine of long-term growth and a vital pillar of our non-interest income,” said Kevin Lam, HLB’s Group Managing Director and CEO.

By managing the complexities of a client’s lifestyle, HLB Priority empowers individuals to focus on their core financial objectives while reclaiming their most precious asset: time.

“The HNWI of today is defined by their ambition and their pace. They are not only architecting expansive portfolios but also ensuring their legacy is built with precision. In this high-velocity environment, our clients are not merely looking for a place to park their capital, they are seeking a partner who gives them back their most precious asset, which is time,” said Jeffrey Yap, HLB’s Managing Director and Regional Head of Wealth Management.

To support this holistic vision, the Bank has introduced the “Health is Wealth” pillar through a partnership with Asia OneHealthcare (“A1Health”), facilitating access to specialized medical care across Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Furthermore, HLB Priority offers Regional Mobility and Multi-Currency Solutions to support global lifestyles across Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hong Kong, and Mainland China.

“By integrating a lifestyle architecture that is as robust and forward-thinking as our financial advice, we provide a level of stewardship service that mirrors the care a physician provides for one’s medical well-being. Whether we are providing access to world-class medical specialists or orchestrating seamless transit across borders, our mission is to provide solutions that are tailored to the wealth goal that you desire, whether that is to preserve and grow wealth, or generate the best outcome from your income. Ultimately, HLB Priority is about providing the sophisticated support and peace of mind necessary for our clients to step away from the logistical burden. This allows them to focus on what truly matters, while we provide the foundation for their wealth to endure and the five core objectives to be realized,” added Yap.

The reimagining of HLB Priority includes a refined brand identity visible across all touchpoints and a comprehensive modernization of Priority Centres nationwide, scheduled for completion through March 2026.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Koala Eco, the mood-boosting wellness brand for cleaning, home and personal care founded by Jessica Bragdon and Paul Davidson, closed out 2025 by redefining home care, proving that products can deliver on performance, sensory experience and purpose.

The Koala Eco range is available at Whole Foods Market and Koalaeco.com.

In 2025, the Koala Eco team successfully ensured more of its beloved Australian botanicals were at home around the world with creative partnerships and retail expansion. At the same time, the brand tallied that it has repackaged six million recycled plastic bottles along with keeping 4.3 million liters of conventional, traditionally harsh cleaning products from entering homes and waterways as of end of the year. Koala Eco’s intentional practices and exceptional products earned the brand a 2025 Leaping Bunny certification.

The brand welcomed Whole Foods Market into its retail portfolio at year’s end, with the renowned grocer debuting 10 products for body and home nationwide in-store and online. Beloved markets including Happier Grocery, Harris Farm and online grocers iHerb and Good Eggs also joined Sprouts, Erewhon, Goop and many other independent retailers in the US and around the world that carry Koala Eco’s safe and efficacious products, taking the brand from seedlings to canopy.

Creative partnerships also grew in scope and scale in 2025, including a limited-edition Laundry Wash collaboration with regenerative fashion brand Christy Dawn. In an unexpected but not surprising moment, the brand was also selected by longtime brand fan Kendall Jenner for her new mountain home and her holiday gift guide, shared with millions of followers on Instagram.

The brand, founded in Australia but made locally using only Australian essential oils – never synthetic fragrance – was also pleased to spotlight their community as part of their “Our Hour in Nature” blog, including former fashion editor Laura Brown, surfer Nikki van Dijk, Marigold founder Gena Winter, chef and food stylist Diana Yen and designer Bianca Spender.

With philanthropy at their core, Koala Eco continued its partnership with 1% for the Planet. It expanded its Oceanic Society’s Critters Scholars commitment and is pleased to confirm that in 2025, 78% of participating kids and teens from underserved communities were in a boat on the ocean for the first time and 100% of kids participating made personal pledges to support conservation in their own communities. A new commitment to become plastic neutral also came to fruition in June with a partnership with rePurpose Global and by year’s end, the brand had diverted over 72,000 pounds of plastic from nature, the equivalent of almost 5.4 million plastic bags.

As 2026 unfolds, Koala Eco’s leadership will continue with clear market demand, standout positioning, and a mission-driven approach: “Purpose is not just a guiding principle—it is the essence of Koala Eco,” said co-founder Jessica Bragdon. “We are dedicated to creating natural, effective, and safe products while fostering a deeper connection between people and nature.”

About Koala Eco:
Koala Eco is a purpose-led brand offering safe, powerful products for a clean home, body and mind. Our formulations blend the potency of plant-derived ingredients with the uplifting benefits of Australian essential oils, creating an aromatherapeutic experience. Founded by Jessica Bragdon and Paul Davidson in 2017 in Sydney, Australia, the brand has now expanded to the USA, where the products are also locally made. At the heart of Koala Eco is the belief that connecting with nature in everyday life can enhance wellbeing, an ethos inspired by the principles of ecopsychology. We are also committed to sustainability, using recycled, recyclable, and refillable bottles, and supporting community initiatives such as 1% for the Planet, rePurpose Global, and The Oceanic Society.
