CARY, N.C., July 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Data and AI leader SAS has made SAS Decision Builder, a cloud-based intelligent decisioning solution, available in private preview on Microsoft Fabric. Created from SAS’ leading intelligent decisioning capabilities, SAS Decision Builder workloads will help customers make better, faster and more secure decisions by compiling multiple artificial intelligence models, rules and procedure logic into a composite workflow.

Cloud-based intelligent decisioning solution SAS Decision Builder is available on Microsoft Fabric in private preview.

This is a critical step for organizations looking to maximize their return on their analytics investments with AI-automated decision making. SAS Decision Builder is a new Microsoft Fabric workload that streamlines the analytics life cycle by enabling customers to design, integrate and deploy models and decisions. With easy access to data from Microsoft Fabric OneLake, users can test, modify and run decisions all within the Fabric environment to adjust to changing market landscapes and meet their unique business needs.

“By deeply integrating aspects of our intelligent decisioning solution into Microsoft Fabric, we’re delivering a cohesive experience for customers where they can utilize key capabilities like Power Automate Workspaces, OneLake for reporting or other tools in concert with SAS Decision Builder to complete their decisioning lifecycles,” said Shadi Shahin, Vice President of Product Strategy at SAS. “We’re making it faster and easier for customers to connect across shared workspaces and deliver decisions that generate real results.” 

Native integration fuels seamless experiences

With SAS Decision Builder workloads on Microsoft Fabric, business analysts and domain experts can access decision flows, design business logic in an accessible low-code editor and use machine learning, large language models (LLMs) and more to manage and complete the decisioning lifecycle. The solution expertly fuses with Fabric’s machine learning capabilities, allowing users to tap into existing model building pipelines to deliver actionable decisions. Additionally, SAS Decision Builder’s governance features help responsibly manage decision flows securely and comprehensively. With clear visibility into how rules are developed, users can track data flows and see exactly how decisions are reached. 

“We have opened up our Fabric platform to allow our partners to bring their own native experiences to our customers. Everyone from data analysts and scientists to business users will be able to leverage these decisioning capabilities on Microsoft Fabric,” said Ditpi Borkar, Vice President and General Manager, Azure Databricks, Fabric Strategic ISVs and Data Dev Experiences at Microsoft. “Fabric users will be able to access an entire set of workloads, from Power BI to SAS Decision Builder, empowering them to be more productive, deliver faster insights and make better decisions.”

AI-powered insights improve customer outcomes

The integration also extends to Azure AI Services, with SAS decision intelligence supporting key generative AI elements like LLMs directly within a decision flow. Combining LLMs’ ability to analyze complex data sets across numerous industries with predictive AI widens the data pool for users to run scenarios, analyze outcomes and deliver personalized customer experiences.

For example, the combination of decisioning and AI capabilities can arm call center employees in customer service with unique responses and directives to address individual customer needs. In financial services, credit companies can leverage SAS Decision Builder workloads to deliver next best offers in real time on various platforms. Lenders can use the solution to streamline the decision process for loan approvals.

Furthermore, SAS Decision Builder workloads can help combat fraud and aid in authorization processes. IT professionals can leverage LLMs within the solution to help protect their companies from phishing scams by developing tools that analyze and identify questionable emails. This in turn can help organizations improve security, reduce costly data breaches and increase compliance in highly regulated industries.

Infineon wins patent infringement case against Innoscience

Published

on

By

MUNICH, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The District Court Munich, Germany (Landgericht München I) today ruled in favor of Infineon Technologies in two further of the patent infringement cases – specifically one based on a patent one based on a utility model – concerning gallium nitride (GaN) technology between Infineon and Innoscience.

The cases concern the unauthorized use of GaN technologies patented by Infineon by the Chinese company Innoscience. With today’s rulings, the court prohibits Innoscience from manufacturing, selling, and marketing additional patent-infringing products in Germany. Furthermore, the court has ordered Innoscience to pay damages to Infineon.

This marks Innoscience’s third and fourth legal defeat in a series of court cases, each of which found that Innoscience’s products infringe Infineon’s patents. Courts and authorities in both Germany and the United States have repeatedly concluded that Innoscience’s products infringe Infineon’s intellectual property rights. Prior rulings include the decision against Innoscience from August 1, 2025, in an initial German proceeding. Furthermore, on May 7, the Full Commission of the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) found that Innoscience had infringed an Infineon patent in the field of gallium nitride (GaN) technology. Additional proceedings regarding the infringement of other Infineon patents are pending in the U.S. and Germany.

GaN plays a pivotal role in enabling high-performance and energy-efficient power systems in a broad range of applications, including renewable energy systems, data centers, industrial automation, and electric vehicles (EVs).

“Today’s ruling demonstrates the value of our GaN portfolio and underscores our commitment to vigorously defending our intellectual property and promoting fair competition,” said Johannes Schoiswohl, Senior Vice President and Head of Infineon’s GaN Systems Business Line.

Infineon continuously strengthens its position as a leading integrated device manufacturer (IDM) in the GaN market with the industry’s broadest IP portfolio, comprising approximately 450 GaN patent families. The company remains dedicated to fostering innovation and advancing semiconductor technology to address the world’s most pressing challenges, from decarbonization to digital transformation.

The Company had around 57,000 employees worldwide (end of September 2025) and generated revenue of about €14.7 billion in the 2025 fiscal year (ending 30 September).

Aquarius.io Launches Press AI & PR Spotlight: Your New AI Team

Published

They Call it “The Unfair Advantage”.

LOS ANGELES, Jun 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 

Talent is not enough without a team.

Most people do not lose because they lack talent. They lose because they do not have a team behind them. Aquarius is out to change that. Two new tools, Press AI and PR Spotlight, put a full news team and a full marketing department in one person’s hands. It is the kind of firepower everyone needs go scale. See it all at Aquarius.io.

Press AI: a full news team for one person

Press AI is a full news team for one person. Give it a story and it researches live sources, checks the facts, turns your interviews into clean, quotable transcripts, and hands back a finished piece with sources attached, ready to file. It does the work of an entire team, so one reporter can chase more leads, break more stories, and beat every deadline.

“Talent is everywhere. The team behind it is not,” said Chaela Harrell, a co-founder of Aquarius. “Aquarius gives one person the power of a whole company. We are your unfair advantage.”

PR Spotlight: your own marketing department

PR Spotlight is a full marketing department in a single tool. Answer a few questions and it researches your brand, then builds investor grade pitch decks and complete media kits, designs your logo, and even handles your contracts, letting you upload, send, sign, and receive them through DocuSign. Together, Press AI and PR Spotlight do the work of an entire team, putting serious media and marketing power in anyone’s hands. Press AI and PR Spotlight are available now at Aquarius.io. Take a look, test it and see what the hype is about. 

The rest of the Aquarius family

Press AI and PR Spotlight join a whole family of Aquarius tools: Muse Lab for image and video, Chronicles for cinematic storytelling, Viral AI for social content, and Aria, a voice driven executive assistant. The platform is self serve, so you only pay for what you make. Every tool is built on one idea: give one person the team they never had. That is your unfair advantage.

Press AI and PR Spotlight are the next step in what Aquarius set out to do: put professional grade tools in the hands of the people who were never handed a team.
