WASHINGTON, June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR), a global science and technology innovator, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of Masimo Corporation, a leading specialty diagnostics provider of pulse oximetry and other patient monitoring solutions, primarily in acute care treatment settings.

Masimo’s trusted brand, advanced sensor technology and AI-enabled patient monitoring bring complementary and powerful new capabilities to the Danaher diagnostics portfolio. As a result of the transaction, Masimo is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Danaher and Masimo common stock has ceased trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Masimo will continue to operate under the Masimo brand and will be a stand-alone operating company within Danaher’s Diagnostics segment.

“Masimo is a strong strategic fit for Danaher. Together, we expect to strengthen our ability to deliver differentiated products in acute care settings and accelerate Masimo’s growth and global reach,” said Julie Sawyer Montgomery, Executive Vice President of Diagnostics at Danaher. “We are excited to welcome the Masimo team to Danaher.”

The consideration payable to former Masimo stockholders will be paid in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, as further described in the definitive transaction materials filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Second Quarter and Full Year 2026 Outlook

There is no change to Danaher’s previously communicated second quarter and full-year 2026 guidance range, excluding the expected contribution from Masimo. The Company does not expect a material contribution from Masimo in the second quarter of 2026.

TOKYO, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EVNIA, Philips’ specialist gaming display brand, has unveiled three new high-refresh gaming monitors for Japanese users, catering to casual gamers, competitive enthusiasts and professional creators to satisfy summer gaming and content creation demands.

The star of the lineup is the flagship 27-inch 27M2N6501L/11 QD-OLED model, engineered to balance elite competitive gaming and professional creative workflows. Its quantum dot self-emissive panel delivers a staggering 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio, native 10-bit color depth, alongside 98% Adobe RGB, 99% DCI-P3 and 147.5% sRGB wide color gamut coverage, rendering vivid, true-to-life colors with seamless tonal gradients. An integrated graphene heat dissipation layer effectively curbs panel burn-in and color degradation, maintaining consistent visual quality through hours of continuous use.

Equipped with a 240Hz refresh rate and ultra-low 0.03ms GTG response time, the flagship drastically reduces motion blur and ghosting for fluid gameplay. Certified NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium, plus HDMI 2.1 connectivity, it delivers tear-free, low-latency visuals across FPS, racing and 3A games, with seamless compatibility for PCs, PlayStation 5 and other mainstream consoles. Factory pre-calibrated to Delta E < 2, it excels for graphic design, photo retouching and video color grading, while the MultiView split-screen function enables dual-input simultaneous display to boost multitasking efficiency.

Philips exclusive SoftBlue technology filters damaging short-wave blue light without skewing color accuracy, relieving eye fatigue during long gaming or editing sessions. AI-enhanced Ambiglow ambient lighting analyzes on-screen visuals in real time to match surrounding backlight tones, greatly elevating immersive gaming and streaming experiences. Its minimalist white ergonomic stand supports 130mm height adjustment, ±90° portrait pivot and horizontal swivel, paired with comprehensive ports including dual HDMI 2.1, DP 1.4 and a USB 3.2 fast-charging hub. Aligned with eco-friendly standards, the monitor incorporates 35% recycled plastic in its chassis and comes with fully recyclable RoHS-compliant packaging.

Rounding out the product portfolio are the 27-inch 27M2N3501PA/11 and 24-inch 24M2N3201P/11. All three new releases feature a minimum 240Hz refresh rate, covering entry-level home entertainment and commercial professional usage scenarios to match diverse user budgets and requirements.

Onboard compute platform ready to run customer supplied or third party AI modelsHybrid communications architecture with IRONghost radio control and native fibre optic plus automatic failoverVision based terminal guidance for GNSS-denied operationsOptional advanced thermal imaging

PARIS, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Orqa – Europe’s leading developer and manufacturer of drones made without Chinese components – today announces the launch of the MRM2-10AI, a next-generation tactical drone purpose-built for contested battlefield environments and the realities of modern electronic warfare.

With armed forces increasingly facing radio-frequency jamming, GNSS disruption, and electronic attack, the MRM2-10AI sets a new standard in resilient communications, intelligent autonomy, and mission continuity, enabling it to succeed where conventional drone systems struggle.

At the heart of the platform is a hybrid communications architecture combining Orqa’s proven IRONghost radio control system with native fiber-optic integration and automatic communications failover. This enables the MRM2-10AI to use either communication method without platform reconfiguration and instantly transition to the radio-frequency link if the fiber-optic connection is broken.

The MRM2-10AI features a powerful new Auto Pilot Board that unlocks a series of cutting-edge autonomous capabilities, including vision-based terminal guidance for GNSS-denied operations, advanced computer vision applications, battlefield analytics, and collaborative multi-drone operations.

A fully open development architecture and a supported third-party Developer Program (developer.orqafpv.com) provides a foundation for AI capabilities and software solutions, while ATAK compatibility supports seamless integration with existing battlefield management and situational awareness systems.

“As the nature of warfare continues to evolve, drone operators require systems that can remain effective in contested spaces,” said Srdjan Kovacevic, co-founder and CEO of Orqa. “The MRM2-10AI combines resilient communications, onboard intelligence, and autonomous capability in a platform designed to keep missions moving. It represents the next step in tactical drone capability for today’s armed forces.”

Available in multiple configurations to meet a variety of mission requirements – including variants equipped with advanced thermal imaging and enhanced processing capabilities – the MRM2-10AI is being officially launched at Eurosatory 2026, the global event for defence and security in Paris.
