Published

on

Wacom’s latest pen display is designed to fit the individual and unique workflow needs of professional digital artists and content creation teams with next generation pen and touch technology, best-in-class screen and color performance with customizable ergonomic enhancements.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Wacom announces the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 pen display, a creative instrument developed by members of the global art and design community, and together with Wacom’s product teams to deliver the most immersive pen on screen experience to date. For the creative professionals – 2D illustrators, 3D modelers, animators, game developers, virtual production artists, etc. – the large digital canvas offers seamless interaction with creative software applications and provides ease of use synonymous with all Wacom devices. The Cintiq Pro 27 represents a major step forward in virtually all categories that matter to digital pen display users, such as improved pen performance and multi-touch, better ergonomics, faster refresh rates, vivid and accurate color. Users will appreciate the modern look, light weight and thin 27″ screen that sports a smaller footprint than its Cintiq Pro 24 sibling. Wacom’s latest pen display joins the Cintiq Pro 16 and Cintiq Pro 24 models to form a comprehensive range of sizes for every need and workspace.

“Enter the Cintiq Pro 27, where creative professionals can count on intuitive and natural-feeling pen and touch input, extremely accurate, factory-calibrated color, faster refresh and other design features that allow users to comfortably and confidently produce and share work across the creative pipeline.” says Faik Karaoglu, Executive Vice President of Wacom’s Branded Business Group.

Pro Pen 3 and multi-touch take customization and performance to a new level

The pen on screen experience on the Cintiq Pro 27 has been vastly improved with the introduction of the Pro Pen 3. Users now have the ability to change the weight, barrel size and center of gravity of the pen with interchangeable components that come with the pen. Pen customization allows users to satisfy their exact working preferences which ultimately translates into more natural-feeling digital input sessions. In addition, the Pro Pen 3 has enhanced tilt recognition and still features Wacom’s renowned EMR (Electro-Magentic Resonance) technology with 8,192 levels of pressure and battery-free operation. The pen never needs charging which saves valuable time and money. Three programmable side-switches are also located on the pen to create software shortcuts and modifiers with virtually every pressure-sensitive application on the market.

Multi-touch is available and is extremely valuable for users’ non-dominant hand when working in programs, especially 3D applications, requiring one to pinch, zoom and rotate a model or sculpture while working with the pen. For those working in a virtual production environment, the ten-point selective touch allows users to precisely manipulate on-screen sliders and other navigable features for an extremely efficient workflow. And since the pen display can work with both Mac and PC, operating system gestures are always available to the user. Multi-touch with Linux is dependent on application support. For those users who prefer to work in select applications without the benefit of multi-touch, there is a convenient on/off button.

 A brilliant display

The Cintiq Pro 27’s new display features virtually no parallax and latency with a much improved refresh rate of 120Hz, allowing the cursor to track twice as fast as previous models. Delivering brilliant 4k resolution in 10-bit color, 98% DCI-P3 (Digital Cinema Initiatives – Protocol 3), the film industry’s color standard, as well as 99% Adobe® RGB color accuracy, users will delight in the fidelity of the display and the true-to-life visual experience. The display is not only Pantone® validated, but also Pantone SkinTone validated, meeting the Pantone standard for accurately displaying the entire range of human skin tones. For users that enjoy moving their most commonly used keyboard shortcuts closer to their actual workspace, grip-style ExpressKeys®, eight in total, four on each side, have been added to the back of the display for easy, ergonomical access. Wacom has added an expandable bezel to the Cintiq Pro 27 where one can add a small extension table to rest, for example, a keyboard or smartphone. The Cintiq Pro 27 display has a smaller footprint than the Cintiq Pro 24, offering valuable space improvements for a cleaner and more efficient work area. The edge-to-edge etched glass surface provides artists with precise control and a natural pen on screen experience.

New stand designed for users

The Cintiq’s new stand (sold separately) matches the modern, sleek design of the new pen display. It’s fully adjustable to meet virtually any working position and even supports +/- 20 degrees of screen rotation. For users seeking another stand option, the display does have Vesa mounts for other OEM stands.

Works with multiple software applications. New software trials also available

Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 users from every creative discipline will find that all of their favorite pressure-sensitive software applications interrelate perfectly with the new pen display. Leading applications from Adobe®, Autodesk®, Corel®, Pixologic® and the Foundry® will continue to deliver amazing results for those working on a Cintiq Pro. To offer new perspectives to Cintiq Pro 27 customers, Wacom is providing access to the following downloadable three month software trials at the time of launch: Celsys’® Clip Studio Paint EX, a complete and easy-to-use digital drawing application for the creation of comics, general illustration and 2D animation, and MASV®, the cloud-based file sharing application for creative professionals. Also available in the latter half of October as three month trials are Shapr3D®, the intuitive CAD tool built to make 3D modeling easier and quicker and Bluescape®, a visual collaboration solution with whiteboarding capabilities, infinite canvases and image search. In addition, 90-day trials of Toon Boom®’s Harmony, for creating end-to-end 2D animations and their Storyboard Pro application, the all-in-one storyboard solution, can be downloaded in the second half of October.

Availability and Sustainability

Wacom also cares about the environment and over 50% of the display’s main body and stand utilize PCR plastic.

Expected to hit stores across Southeast Asia from 24 October 2022 onwards, the Cintiq Pro 27 and stand will be available in Wacom eStore, Wacom Official Store in Lazada and Shopee, and other authorized Wacom partners.

Cognizant and Google Cloud Expand Alliance to Accelerate Agentic Enterprise Transformation

Published

on

By

Initiative establishes new Gemini Frontier Capability Group, dedicating more than 18,000 engineers to help drive AI adoption for global enterprises.More than 55,000 associates completed Build with Gemini, the largest Gemini partner workshop held to date, part of a shared commitment to scale client execution through Cognizant’s Frontier Certified Engineers.

TEANECK, N.J. and SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH) and Google Cloud today announced a significant expansion of their partnership to accelerate the adoption of agentic AI, including a new Gemini Frontier Capability Group. The group brings together a dedicated global workforce that pairs Google’s full-stack, enterprise-ready AI platform with Cognizant’s domain, industry and engineering expertise as an AI Builder.

Backed by more than 18,000 dedicated Cognizant associates, the new group represents a substantial joint investment and builds on the momentum created by Cognizant’s dedicated Gemini practice launched in April 2026. The new group is designed to bridge the path from pilot to production, equipping enterprises with the ability to safely deploy resilient, enterprise-grade agents that can help drive measurable business value.

“Establishing our dedicated Gemini Frontier Capability Group lets our best frontier engineering talent focus entirely on getting frontier AI into production for clients,” said Ravi Kumar S, CEO of Cognizant. “Our Build with Gemini workshop gave over 55,000 associates that experience directly, earning them tangible skills on one of the world’s most advanced AI platforms, and this new group is where that experience goes to work every day.”

“Deploying AI agents at scale requires trusted partners with deep architectural and integration expertise,” said Thomas Kurian, chief executive officer, Google Cloud. “Cognizant’s dedicated Frontier Capability Group and their skilling initiative for tens of thousands of engineers on Gemini will help our joint customers accelerate the adoption of autonomous agents throughout the enterprise.”

Introducing the Gemini Frontier Capability Group

Designed to meet surging enterprise demand for scaled AI execution, the group aims to deliver production-grade, AI solutions designed to drive business outcomes for global enterprises by leveraging Gemini, Google Cloud’s AI platform for building, governing, and deploying agents. The group will initially concentrate its engineering capabilities across legacy modernization, developer experience, autonomous business process agentification and frontier cyber defense.

To operationalize these capabilities, the group plans to deploy standardized, security-first agentic architecture built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and fortified by Google Cloud’s Model Armor. These trusted frameworks are expected to power a new suite of collaborative, production-ready enterprise solutions, including Cognizant’s Catalog Support Agent (CSA) for retail, the Neuro® San-orchestrated Healthcare Agentic Marketplace, and multi-agent Order-to-Cash (O2C) workflows for manufacturing.

Scaling outcomes with Frontier Certified Engineers

Underpinning the group is a shared commitment by Google Cloud and Cognizant to scale client execution through Frontier Certified Engineers. One early proof point shows what this looks like in practice: by integrating Gemini AI models across its software development lifecycle, Cognizant helped a leading retailer achieve a 40% increase in developer productivity, reduce time-to-market by 30%, and realize a 35% cost savings, underscoring the transformative potential of AI-driven software engineering.

As part of Cognizant’s frontier certification skills drive, the company recently concluded the Build with Gemini workshop with Google Cloud, where Cognizant associates built AI agents and applications while earning Gemini skills credentials. Completed by more than 55,000 Cognizant associates, it is the largest single Gemini partner workshop held to date, representing a meaningful step in building Cognizant’s frontier-certified workforce.

Cognizant is also applying Gemini internally at scale. As announced in July, the company is deploying Gemini to 100,000 associates this year, with plans to scale up to 200,000, and continues to increase its certification commitment for professionals on the platform.

Eczema Awareness Month 2026: What Is the State of Eczema Today?

Published

on

By

NEA pairs findings from its State of AD report with video stories from the community to highlight the data and daily realities of living with eczema

For Eczema Awareness Month 2026, NEA asks what living with eczema looks like today, drawing on the State of AD to bring national data and personal stories together.

The State of Atopic Dermatitis Indicator Report and 51 state-level briefs, published Oct. 1, are available at StateofAD.org.

Video stories from people with eczema and their caregivers share what daily life with the condition is like. Join the conversation with #UnhideEczema.

NOVATO, Calif., Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eczema Awareness Month 2026 is underway, and this year’s theme is the State of Eczema. Since Oct. 1, the National Eczema Association (NEA) has been inviting the community to see, share and talk about what living with eczema is like. Throughout October, NEA is asking a question for the more than 31 million Americans living with eczema, and those who care for them: what is it like to live with eczema, and what does it take to get good care?

The theme builds on the State of AD, NEA’s four-year initiative on atopic dermatitis (AD), funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It brings together two kinds of evidence, national data and the experiences of people with eczema, to offer a more complete view of the condition.

The State of AD: data that backs up the experience

On Oct. 1, NEA published its State of Atopic Dermatitis Indicator Report, along with 51 state-level briefs covering all 50 states and Washington, D.C. AD is the most common form of eczema. The report is the first comprehensive national and state-level baseline on AD diagnosis and care, and it points to gaps across the country. The complete report and all state briefs are available at StateofAD.org.

“Eczema Awareness Month is about making sure people feel seen. The State of AD gives us the evidence to show that eczema deserves attention in every state, and the stories our community is sharing show why it matters. Together, they tell the whole story,” said Kristin Belleson, president and CEO of NEA.

Video stories: eczema in their own words

Alongside the data, NEA is sharing video testimonials from people living with eczema and the caregivers who support them. The data shows the scale of the need, and the stories show the people behind it. Watch the stories at EczemaMonth.org.

Ways to take part this October

NEA invites people with eczema, caregivers, health care professionals and partners to join the conversation:

Watch and share the video stories from the eczema community.

Explore the State of AD report and your state’s brief at StateofAD.org.

Use #UnhideEczema on social media to share your own experience.

In HelloNation, Electrical Expert Brennan Coffey Explains Why a Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping

Published

The Article Explains Common Reasons a Circuit Breaker Trips and When the Pattern Signals a Bigger Problem.

SCHENECTADY, N.Y., Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Why does a circuit breaker keep tripping? A HelloNation article answers that question and breaks down the most common reasons behind the problem.

The article explains that every circuit is built to carry a set amount of power safely. A circuit breaker cuts power once that limit is crossed, protecting the wiring from overheating before real damage occurs.

Each breaker in the panel protects one specific circuit, the article notes. An overloaded circuit will usually trip only its own breaker, not the entire panel. Homeowners often notice the pattern happens at predictable moments, like running a microwave and a toaster together.

According to the article, an overloaded circuit is one of the most common reasons a breaker trips. This often happens when several appliances draw power from the same outlets at once.

The article notes that kitchens are frequent trouble spots, since they run several high draw appliances from a limited number of outlets. Spreading large appliances across different circuits often solves the problem on its own.

A short circuit or a ground fault can also cause a circuit breaker to trip, the article explains, and both tend to act faster than a simple overload. A short circuit happens when a hot wire unexpectedly touches another wire.

A ground fault usually involves contact with a grounded surface, often because of moisture nearby. The article points out that GFCI outlets add protection in bathrooms and kitchens, though a standard breaker can still trip when a fault occurs elsewhere on the same circuit.

Newer homes may also have arc fault breakers, which sense the electrical pattern of an arc rather than a simple overload. These devices catch a hazard tied closely to house fires.

The article adds that an aging breaker can be the source of trouble in its own right, especially in a panel older than twenty years. Electrical Expert Brennan Coffey leads Coffey Electric & Generator, serving homeowners throughout the Schenectady area.

Homeowners should never open a panel cover or inspect breakers beyond resetting a switch, the article warns, since the panel carries live current even when a breaker has tripped. Forcing a stubborn breaker back on can let dangerous heat build inside the wall.

A breaker box that feels warm or shows scorch marks needs more urgency than routine tripping. That kind of heat points to trouble well beyond a simple overload, the article cautions.

The article suggests tracking when and where trips happen to spot a pattern before calling for help. Noting which appliances were running, and how often the issue repeats, gives a professional a useful starting point.

Waiting too long to address repeated trips can let a small issue grow into a larger and costlier one, the article explains. Addressing the pattern early tends to save both time and money down the road.

Electrical Expert Brennan Coffey is featured in the article, which advises against repeatedly resetting a breaker that keeps tripping without a clear cause. A licensed electrician can identify the underlying issue and determine what the repair actually requires.

Why Does a Circuit Breaker Keep Tripping? features insights from Brennan Coffey, Electrical Expert of Schenectady, New York, in HelloNation.
