• Autonomous robotics are increasingly being used to automate manual logistics processes
• In addition to its own software solutions, Cepton collaborates with software provider Exwayz to present a robotic solution for global customers
• The company recently announced that it will unveil its upcoming next-generation automotive lidar solution, the Vista-X120 Plus, at the forthcoming CES 2023 event in Las Vegas
• As part of that product launch, Cepton has been recently recognized as a 2023 Innovation Award honoree by CES within the vehicle tech and advanced mobility category

In early June, Amazon unveiled its new fleet of autonomous robots, designed to revolutionize the way that half a million warehouse workers interact on a daily basis. Nicknamed ‘Proteus’, these robots would help automate the movement of large and heavy rolling carts of packages, creating a more efficient and safe process. These actions are traditionally undertaken by workers obliged to manually handle goods through areas where existing robots can’t go. Whilst the technology is part of a long-awaited wave of automation designed to improve productivity and boost safety standards within the logistics industry, it may not have been possible without the employment of the humble lidar sensor (https://ibn.fm/8hpG0). Although the first presentation of lidar sensors began in the 1960s, it would take until the Apollo 15 mission in 1971 for lidar to become “mainstream” with the technology being used to help map planetary surfaces. Half a century later, Cepton (NASDAQ: CPTN), a Silicon Valley innovator and leader in high-performance lidar solutions, has gained widespread renown across the industry for both its comprehensive lidar-based solution platform as well as its unique approach which focuses on performance, cost, and reliability. In early November, Cepton announced that it would be further broadening its technological reach by collaborating with Exwayz to develop novel lidar-based perception solutions for mobile robotics applications. Exwayz is a developer of plug-and-play perception software designed to help enable lidar-based 3D mapping, localization, and re-localization as well as object detection and classification. Similar to Amazon’s Proteus robot fleet, the venture’s lidar based solution will provide high-precision 3D data, which can help robotic systems navigate safely and autonomously while enabling operators to easily track their locations, gaining critical insights into how a space is being utilized (https://ibn.fm/NyERI). Cepton offers a full suite of lidar sensors for automotive and smart infrastructure applications, as well as proprietary perception solutions. Cepton’s collaboration with Exwayz further unlocks the potential utilization of its lidar technology across a wide range of mobile robotics applications. By leveraging the versatility and reliability of Cepton’s high-performance, easy-to-integrate lidars, Cepton and Exwayz aim to provide an immediate solution to expediting solution integration processes for global customers Henri Häfner, Director Product Management, Marketing and Business Development at Cepton, commented in regard to the tie-up: “Cepton’s automotive-grade lidar sensors have demonstrated the quality and reliability necessary for mobile robotics solutions. Our core lidar technology enables an optimal combination of high performance, ruggedness, and unrivalled embeddability. We are now pleased to be working with Exwayz to also deploy Cepton’s award-winning Nova Lidar for near-range applications.” The positive sentiment was mirrored by Mathias Corsia, CTO and Co-Founder at Exwayz, “We have been working with Cepton since the first day we released our product in October 2021. In addition to the impressive range and level of details measured by their sensors, we were very impressed by the compactness and variety of Cepton’s product line, which fits perfectly the industry needs in terms of integration and robustness for making autonomous systems a reality.” Although the tie-up with Exwayz as well as the expanded presence for Cepton, the company recently revealed that its core automotive offering had simultaneously been upgraded – with Cepton recently recognized for its next-generation automotive lidar product, Vista®-X120 Plus, in the prestigious CES Innovation Award program as a 2023 honoree in the Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility category. The Vista-X120 Plus is set to feature an unprecedented combination of ultra slim and small form factor, top-end performance, and real-time adaptive 3D perception. The Vista-X120 Plus will be unveiled by Cepton in January 2023 at the CES 2023 conference. “I am thrilled that Cepton’s innovative technology continues to be recognized at a global level and at events such as CES,” said Cepton’s Co-Founder and CEO, Dr. Jun Pei (https://ibn.fm/S9Mme). “Vista-X120 Plus is designed for both today’s consumer vehicles as well as the next generation – intelligent, electrified and software-defined. As the automotive industry evolves, our lidar innovations never cease to advance. This new product is an extension of Cepton’s vision since 2016, which is building capable, reliable and affordable lidar solutions to enable safe and autonomous transportation for everyone.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Cepton.com.

• Homes in the US are increasingly resorting to electricity to satisfy their power requirements, shifting away from their prior mixed-fuel use model
• All electric homes can result in carbon emissions which are 81% lower than their mixed-fuel counterparts whilst simultaneously, resulting in significant utility-related cost savings
• GeoSolar Technologies have sought to cater to the ongoing electrification of US households through their proprietary SmartGreen(TM) Home system
• A recent housing development in Riverside County, California has looked to test the dual concepts of green energy powered households and a microgrid – insulating homes within the community from failures in the state power grid

If you were to acquire a home constructed at any point over the past forty years, chances are that it is an all-electric home. A survey carried out by the US Energy Information Administration found that 35% of hom es built in 1980 or later used only electricity, with 25% of all homes nationwide now solely employing electricity to satisfy their power requirements (https://ibn.fm/lQwWS). A recently published research study has now revealed that not only do all-electric homes result in substantial carbon emissions savings over their mixed-fuel powered counterparts – over 81% lower on average, but they also boast a far more inexpensive cost profile. Within New York alone, an all-electric home was shown to result in net present cost savings of as much as $6,800 relative to a mixed-fuel home over the course of the 15-year study. The carbon emissions savings of an all-electric home have been warmly welcomed by local state governments; cities in California, Washington, New York, and Massachusetts have all passed laws or adopted codes mandating or encouraging all-electric new building construction. Meanwhile, regional coalitions across the country are forming to extend lessons learned from these first movers to other states, including in New England and the Midwest. The desire by governmental bodies and homeowners alike to lower carbon emissions and decrease utility costs has sparked a drive towards household electrification and consequently, a transition away from the yesteryear model of mixed-fuel use households. It is exactly this kind of vision that GeoSolar Technologies (“GST”), a Colorado-based climate technology company has looked to cater to. Through the introduction of its proprietary SmartGreen(TM) Home system – an environmentally friendly, renewable energy focused technology designed to harness energy from the earth and sun to power and purify homes and automobiles without the use of fossil fuels, GeoSolar have looked to tackle the astounding thirty percent of global greenhouse gases generated by households every year. Moreover and during a time of increasingly elevated electricity costs, the company revealed that the average GeoSolar-powered home could result in a negligible carbon footprint with homeowners disbursing less than $100 per annum in utility bills (https://www.geosolarplus.com/geosolarplus). Although green energy adoption has been slow to gain mass-market appeal, the future of low-carbon, climate resilient housing is increasingly coming into view – most recently in a quiet residential community nestled within California’s Riverside County. A recent subdivision of 78 new homes in the town of Menifee were constructed in an entirely environmentally friendly manner – with electric power sourced from batteries tapping into rooftop solar panel systems and geo-thermal heat pumps providing year-round climate control. Moreover, the homes have been connected to form a microgrid, a self-contained power system that can operate independent of California’s grid in case of failure – an increasingly likely occurrence with climate-driven wildfires, heat waves and storms contributing to widespread power outages in recent years (https://ibn.fm/svueF). The federal government has seen the potential in green communities such as the one coming up in Riverside County, providing the subdivision’s contractors a $6.65 million grant to develop and test first-of-its-kind microgrid technology and determine whether the Menifee microgrid could serve as a model for future housing developments. “We want to see how we can improve resilience for the homeowner,” said Ram Narayanamurthy, emerging technologies program manager at the Energy Department. “Electrification is really going to drive carbon footprint reduction as the California grid gets more and more decarbonized.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.GeoSolarPlus.com.

• MetAlert recently announced the signing of an LOI with Sensio Group for the marketing and distribution of RoomMate, a 3D Infrared supervision product with a fall detection automated monitoring system
• The company has set out to solve problems unique to individuals afflicted with ADA by creating devices specific to their use cases, and RoomMate is one such product, promising effective remote patient monitoring while maintaining anonymity
• Through this partnership, MetAlert looks to penetrate the high CAGR projected patient monitoring devices market, valued at $47 billion in 2021
• It also looks to leverage the partnership for future up-listing onto a major exchange such as NASDAQ
• Its management is confident that with its value proposition and unique market positioning, it will soon position MetAlert as a dominant player in its sector, commanding a significant market share and realizing substantial earnings

MetAlert (OTC: MLRT), a Los Angeles-based pioneer in location-sensitive health monitoring devices and wearable technology products, announced the signing of a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Sensio Group, a Norway-based provider of welfare technology and home automation solutions, for the marketing and distribution of RoomMate(TM). MetAlert hopes this partnership will initiate the promotion of this new product in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., leveraging on Sensio’s understanding of the existing market, its brand equity, and its robust distribution network. “We are very excited about this partnership and remarkable proven technology. With over 5,500 RoomMates in operation in 220 municipalities across Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Iceland, we will begin marketing and distributing the product and monitoring service in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. immediately,” noted Andrew Duncan, MetAlert’s Business Development Director (https://ibn.fm/rB3tE). RoomMate, one of MetAlert’s flagship products, is a wall-mounted alert system that delivers both efficiency and privacy. It detects and alerts caregivers about patient behavior that could lead to falls and injuries, using 3D infrared and wall-mounted sensors that eliminate the need for any other physical installations or wearables. Unlike more mainstream patient monitoring systems, RoomMate does not use cameras, and the collected images are not stored. Instead, its use of infrared maintains patient anonymity, while action logs help inform caregivers of any critical information they might need to know as they provide their services. It is estimated that patients with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and autism (“ADA”) account for approximately 2.9% of the world’s population, equivalent to 34 million people in 24 developed countries. Given their unique issues, which include, but are not limited to, memory problems and adversity to wearing unknown items, traditional products such as Fitbits and iPhones do not provide a practical solution. Therefore, MetAlert has set out to solve this issue by creating devices specific to their use cases and designed to improve their overall quality of life. This commitment has birthed various offerings, including GPS SmartSoles HUB, Telehealth, Concierge, Bluetooth Enabled Devices, Artificial Intelligence Software, and Tale-Along Tracker. With RoomMate having been deployed in Los Angeles about six weeks ago, the reception has been largely positive, with the users lauding its overall effectiveness and, more importantly, how much it prioritizes privacy. “We installed RoomMate about 6 weeks ago in a private home, and both parents have told us how this product has changed their lives,” noted Patrick Bertagna, MetAlert’s CEO. “They can now monitor their autistic child’s activities remotely and unobtrusively, 24×7, without always having someone with him or a camera that would violate his privacy; it’s a game changer for them,” he added. MetAlert looks to penetrate the high CAGR projected patient monitoring devices market, valued at $47 billion in 2021, through this partnership with Sensio (https://ibn.fm/E8E49). In addition, it looks to leverage it for future up-listing onto a major exchange such as NASDAQ. Its management is confident that its value proposition and unique market positioning will soon crown MetAlert as a dominant player in its sector, commanding a significant market share and realizing substantial earnings while at it. “We believe certain key technologies addressing this global market have tremendous implications for cutting edge growth in health care. For example, imagine how valuable aggregated data collected by RoomMate and SmartSole plus combined with artificial intelligence will be for developing predictive scenarios and medicines to better the lives of tens of millions of people,” noted Mr. Bertagna.

• Miami-based REZYFi is a mortgage lender working with traditional loans but focusing particular attention on unbanked market sectors such as the cannabis industry and those property companies that provide leases to those sectors
• The loan origination industry appears to be experiencing a new round of greening in reversal of the year’s difficulties
• In the wake of positive CPI data last month, analysts are beginning to anticipate a greening of mortgage lending rates once inflationary pressures are reduced, making it easier for companies to obtain loans for their projects

The greening of inflation news last month is important news for market watchers, and expectations that the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) will continue to report favorable inflation trends has mortgage lenders anticipating less pressure on rates during the coming year and beyond. “We’re expecting the Fed to end its Fed Funds increases into the beginning of next year, so we are expecting mortgage rates to come down to 5.4% by the end of next year and then to come further down to 4.5% by the end of 2024,” Mortgage Bankers Association Associate Vice President of Housing Economics Edward Seiler told WTOP news, referring to the average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (https://ibn.fm/daSfs). The CPI report that is anticipated on Dec. 13 and the Fed’s policy decision announcement the following day will tell the tale about whether the government thinks its efforts over the past several months have had the desired effect in curbing inflation and in setting the stage for lower long-term rates. Analysts are already suggesting that, even with another raise in interest rates, it could be small enough to signal an important topping out and reversal of the previous trend (https://ibn.fm/jcosg). As mortgage rates gradually fall as expected, it reopens the door for companies that have struggled to pursue their projects in recent months. Specialized financing company REZYFi is a growing mortgage lender working to help such businesses navigate the challenging landscape of loan origination, particularly as it applies to the traditionally underserved cannabis industry and property owners who lease to such companies. REZYFi is anticipating the launch of its high-margin cannabis division in the coming weeks to focus on such challenging lending markets. The company also is developing a proprietary technology that will help it operate competitively by maintaining efficient turnaround time while also being economical with staffing levels. Through its subsidiaries, REZYFi Lending and ResMac Inc., the company has closed over 20,000 loans for over 15,000 clients and expects to originate $285 million retail sales during the coming year, with $250 million in wholesale origination in motion. Now operating in 30 states, the company expects to expand to all 50 states in the process of fulfilling its growth goals. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.REZYFi.com.

• Aircraft design and manufacturer CubCrafters builds modern backcountry aircraft, carrying on the legacy of historic Cub-style Aircraft, offering FAA-certified, light sport, and Experimental category airplanes. Aside from new aircraft produced on the production line, the company also offers aircraft produced under the company’s builder-assist program, and kits for those prepared to build on their own
• CubCrafters applied for Reg A+ status in July in an effort to raise public investment toward accelerating the company’s growth and production schedule output
• The company’s CEO and president announced recently that the SEC has qualified CubCrafters’ application, opening the way for interested investors to now come onboard
• One of the aircraft’s primary uses has been for backcountry exploration and recreation, but the American-made company was also lauded recently for helping a missionary in remote Mexico fly rural patients to the city for needed medical care

Best-in-class backcountry aircraft producer CubCrafters unveiled its plans to offer shares to the public with its announcement in July that the company was accepting reservations for preferred stock under a Reg A+ filing. CubCrafters President and CEO Patrick Horgan recently provided an update on the filing, announcing in a Bell2Bell podcast that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has qualified the Reg A+ filing, clearing the way for investors to come onboard. “The reaction (to the July announcement) was phenomenal, actually 2,000-plus investors very quickly supported this. We had over $25 million in reservations before the SEC had qualified us. So in a very short time it was clear to us that we had a good response,” Horgan told Bell2Bell host Stuart Smith (https://ibn.fm/ORMIR). “These people that have reserved and others that have shown great interest in recent weeks can now convert those into purchases, and that’s going well.” Horgan said the company has booked orders already awaiting fulfillment for the next two years of CubCrafters’ production schedule, and a large part of the reason for turning to public funding is to help the company grow sufficiently that it can reduce customers’ wait times, and provide better support for the growing fleet of aircraft worldwide. The investors represent a large cross-section of aviation enthusiasts. Many are experienced fliers, but even those who are simply familiar with flying the company’s aircraft in flight simulators can now invest and be a part of the company’s future, Horgan said. “We’re the preeminent builder of adventure airplanes. We build advanced versions of the Super Cub using current-day technology. It’s a utilitarian-type airplane that can access backcountry areas without the need for runways,” he said. “(It’s) high performance with the latest technology and engines and avionics. It’s an airplane that can be used commercially as well as just for a lot of fun. It’s a fun-flying airplane that really just brings a unique perspective to using aviation to access our world.” Horgan added that CubCrafters is the only aviation company he knows of building in four distinct classes of aircraft manufacturing — FAA-certified aircraft, light sport airplanes built to American Society for Testing and Materials (“ASTM”) standards, Experimental aircraft for hands-on builders taking advantage of the company’s builder assistance program, and kits for those prepared to build on their own. The variety allows clients the freedom to pursue their own vision of fulfillment in aviation. “We’re true to our American heritage and we have now 11 buildings, 14 facilities and over 200 employees in Yakima, Wash.,” Horgan said. “we’ve been a continually growing company since our inception… a beautifully American business story, starting humbly in a small way and continually growing.” The airplanes’ utility also has won the company accolades for humanitarian efforts in Mexico. A missionary flying “a slightly modified CubCrafters Carbon Cub EX” has used his aircraft to transport rural, remote patients to medical care in city centers. The pilot has transported 477 people and 13,069 pounds of cargo to and from the rural villages and hospitals during the past three years alone, providing life-critical service, according to an article by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (“AOPA”) (https://ibn.fm/kLT8R).

• Arizona Metals commenced Phase 3 expansion drill program at its flagship copper-gold-zinc-silver Kay Mine Project; only 3% of the prospectively mineralized horizon has been drill tested and this Phase of drilling will focus on making new discoveries
• Surrounded by high-grade historic past-producing VMS mines, Kay Mine also boasts potential for scale; the mine was practically abandoned for 40 years until Arizona Metals acquired it in 2019
• With $58 million in cash, company appears well funded to execute on its plans to spend $32 million on the Kay Mine Phase 3 exploration program over the next 12 to 18 months

Arizona Metals (TSX: AMC) (OTCQX: AZMCF), a mineral exploration company focused on advancing precious and base metal deposits, has commenced its Phase 3 expansion drill program in the flagship Kay Mine Project (https://ibn.fm/jXf2I). The company operates two wholly owned projects in Arizona, the state known as the largest U.S. copper producer. The current focus is its flagship Kay Mine Project, a copper-gold-zinc-silver asset located in Yavapai County on a combination of private land and BLM claims. Around 99% of Arizona Metals’ budget goes towards this high-grade volcanogenic massive sulfide (“VMS”) deposit located an hour north of Phoenix, in the heart of Arizona Copper Country. The company also operates another asset – the Sugarloaf Peak gold project in La Paz County, a heap leach open pit mine located 2 hours from Phoenix. Although the secondary asset is not the focus at the moment, the company sees potential in this mine but expects to spin it out into a new company in a better gold environment. Arizona Metals prides itself on having unique features that distinguish the company in the market. First quality being the Kay Mine Project’s grade and width. Next, it’s the mine’s polymetallic nature which at these grades and widths gives the potential for significant metal output with a low footprint. This also implies lower capital costs and operating costs. Finally, it’s the scale. “What we see as the real potential is the scale. We have high grades, large widths now you want tonnes. We think Kay Mine alone has great tonnage potential. On our property, we have 16 targets outside of the Kay Mine, but all within a 1.5km radius, that have never been drill tested. That testing is going to start in November”, said Marc Pais, Arizona Metals’ president and CEO, at the recent Precious Metals Summit Zurich 2022, the premier Swiss independent investment conference focused on explorers, developers and emerging producers of gold, silver and platinum group metals (https://ibn.fm/lR69H). Although most of the gold and copper-rich VMS deposits were mined out in the last 100 years, the company claims that Kay Mine is different. “Kay Mine is unique in the fact that it was basically abandoned for 40 years until 2019 when we acquired it. During that time, no work was done, but in the last two years, we’ve drilled 72,000 meters at the Kay Mine deposits and spent about $30 million”, continued Pais as he described the company’s competitive features. “We plan to spend at least $32 million on that program over the next 12 to 18 months and we are very well funded to do that work with just under $60 million in cash. On completion of this upcoming exploration program, we should still have $30 million left. Importantly for investors, we can aggressively drill this without going back to the market. Investors are not going to see more dilution”, he concluded. Phase 3 expansion drill program started this month and will be focused on looking for new discoveries in Central and Western Targets.

• Lexaria recently announced the findings of the first two studies from its EPIL-A21-1 animal research program
• The program is designed to assess the effectiveness of patented DehydraTECH(TM)-CBD in reducing or eliminating seizure activity compared to Epidiolex, a CBD-based anti-seizure drug
• The first study evidenced that DehydraTECH-CBD is more efficacious at lower doses than Epidiolex
• The second study demonstrated DehydraTECH-CBD’s enhanced effectiveness; specifically, the formulation acted more rapidly than Epidiolex

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, recently announced its patented DehydraTECH(TM)-processed cannabidiol (“CBD”) formulation has demonstrated performance enhancements compared to Epidiolex(R), the first and only FDA-approved CBD medication for the treatment of seizures (https://ibn.fm/iCdk5). Initiated in March this year and conducted by a leading US-based independent laboratory, the EPIL-A21-1 animal research program was designed to assess the seizure-inhibiting activity and efficacy of DehydraTECH-CBD at lower doses than were required with Epidiolex. Through the program, Lexaria hoped to demonstrate superior performance based on the increased systemic delivery and brain uptake induced by the DehydraTECH platform (https://ibn.fm/UFidI). The EPIL-A21-1 study program used an established, vehicle-controlled, acute animal seizure model induced by electrical stimulation (“MES”) and was designed as a three-part series, each using Sprague Dawley rats. In the pilot study, which involved 21 animals and examined three different doses, it was established that at lower doses of 50 mg/kg and 75 mg/kg, DehydraTECH-CBD was more efficacious than Epidiolex in reducing or eliminating seizure activity. More specifically, at the lower 50 mg/kg dose, only DehydraTECH-CBD showed some effectiveness in reducing seizure activity. In contrast, at 75 mg/kg, DehydraTECH-CBD demonstrated complete elimination of seizure activity in 66.6% of the animals compared to 50% of animals treated with Epidiolex. However, Epidiolex was more efficacious than DehydraTECH-CBD in eliminating seizure activity at 100 mm/kg, the highest dose tested in the first study. Overall, these findings suggest that DehydraTECH-CBD is more efficacious at lower doses than Epidiolex. The second MES animal seizure study was a time-to-peak efficacy study that involved 24 animals. At minute 30, 50% of the animals dosed with DehydraTECH-CBD showed partial reduction or full elimination of seizure activity, while 100% of the rates that received Epidiolex still exhibited full seizure activity at this time point. At 60 minutes post-dosing, 87.5% of rats dosed with DehydraTECH-CBD showed partial reduction or full elimination of seizure activity, whereas only 62.5% of those that received Epidiolex exhibited a similar outcome. At later time points, however, Epidiolex resulted in some enhanced seizure reduction capabilities. Lexaria is currently undertaking additional work under the EPIL-A21-1 program. Designed to establish the dose needed to achieve seizure inhibition in 50% of the animals tested or ED50, a common performance metric in preclinical animal studies, this final study is meant to corroborate the findings reported to date. This third study is expected to involve 24 animals, with Lexaria expecting to provide further updates as and when they become available. The findings so far suggest that DehydraTECH-CBD is more effective at lower doses and faster acting than Epidiolex. Still, Lexaria is considering optimizing the DehydraTECH-CBD formulation to facilitate more sustained action in reducing or eliminating seizure activity and is contemplating additional work to reinforce its growing success in seizure prevention.
