Provides non-destructive 3D analysis of the location, morphology, and depth profile of internal defects in glass substratesIntroduces TAMI, a dedicated 3D analysis software platform that connects R&D analysis with production-line reviewAccelerates root-cause analysis and yield learning for glass substrates, a key material for next-generation advanced packaging

DAEJEON, South Korea, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tomocube, a 3D non-destructive inspection and metrology company, today announced the launch of HT-T1 Desktop (HT-T1D), a desktop holotomography system for high-resolution 3D defect analysis of glass substrates used in next-generation semiconductor packaging.

HT-T1D is optimized for glass-substrate inspection and metrology workflows. When conventional in-line panel inspection tools, such as automated optical inspection (AOI) systems, flag a potential defect, HT-T1D takes the corresponding coordinates and reconstructs the interior of the glass substrate in three dimensions, resolving the location, morphology, and depth-wise characteristics of defects that surface inspection alone cannot reveal.

Glass core substrates and glass interposers are drawing growing attention as key enabling materials for AI accelerators, high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and other advanced packaging applications. As these substrates move toward mass production, however, manufacturers face mounting challenges in identifying the root causes of micro-defects introduced during complex process steps such as laser drilling, etching, metallization, and singulation. A single critical defect can scrap an entire unit. As a result, the ability to quickly turn inspection data into process improvements has become critical to production-line stability.

HT-T1D applies Tomocube’s visible-light holotomography to visualize the three-dimensional refractive-index distribution inside glass with a refractive-index sensitivity of 10⁻⁴. Because the measurement is non-destructive, the same location can be measured repeatedly across successive process stages, allowing users to track when and how a defect forms, propagates, or enlarges. The system is expected to shorten defect-analysis cycles that have traditionally depended on destructive failure analysis, reducing analysis time from days or weeks to minutes in applicable workflows and supporting earlier intervention ahead of high-cost downstream steps.

Alongside the hardware, Tomocube also introduced TomoAnalysis MI (TAMI), a dedicated 3D analysis software platform for metrology and inspection. TAMI quantitatively analyzes 3D refractive-index volume data and generates structured reports for engineering review. It also processes data from HT-T1M, Tomocube’s planned in-line module for deployment through system integration partners, in the same format — providing a unified workflow from R&D investigation through production-line review.

“Glass substrates are emerging as a critical material for next-generation semiconductor packaging, but true competitiveness in mass-production will depend on how quickly manufacturers can understand defects and translate that understanding into process improvements,” said YongKeun Park, Chief Executive Officer of Tomocube. “HT-T1D goes beyond defect detection, helping customers identify root causes and refine process conditions. We believe it will become an essential metrology platform for accelerating yield learning in glass-substrate manufacturing.” He added, “The same platform can also address glass photonic integrated substrates for co-packaged optics (CPO), where the refractive index itself directly affects device performance. This expands its applicability beyond defect analysis to areas that require functional metrology.”

With the launch of HT-T1D, Tomocube will engage glass-substrate manufacturers, advanced-packaging companies, and system integration partners to support 3D defect analysis, process review, and yield-learning workflows for glass-substrate manufacturing. The company will also continue to expand its glass-substrate inspection and metrology portfolio, including future in-line deployment through system integration partners, as it addresses the growing demand for defect-analysis and yield-learning solutions in advanced semiconductor packaging.

African-built AI-powered PR intelligence system to support real-time global, continental and Nigerian media monitoring for the World Public Relations Forum

LAGOS, Nigeria, Aug. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) has appointed AGENTPR™, the AI-powered media intelligence platform developed by Cihan Media Communications, as the Official Media Intelligence Platform for the 2026 World Public Relations Forum (WPRF) Abuja.

The appointment forms part of NIPR’s preparations for WPRF Abuja 2026, the global public relations gathering scheduled to hold in Nigeria from 15–21 November 2026. Under the partnership, AGENTPR™ will provide structured media intelligence before, during and after the Forum, covering real-time issue detection, media monitoring across multiple platforms, and international trade press tracking.

The partnership represents a significant milestone for African public relations technology. It positions AGENTPR™ as an African-built intelligence infrastructure supporting one of the world’s most important public relations convenings, at a time when reputation, trust, visibility and machine-readable authority are becoming central to how institutions are understood.

Speaking on the appointment, Dr. Celestine Ngozichukwuka Achi, mnipr, Founder and CEO of Cihan Media Communications and Founder of AGENTPR™, said the platform will help NIPR and the WPRF Planning Committee read the full narrative environment around Nigeria’s hosting of the Forum.

“Through this partnership, AGENTPR™ provides NIPR leadership and the WPRF organising structure with real-time visibility into the global, continental and domestic media narrative,” Dr. Achi said. “This is not simply media monitoring. It is meaning-aware intelligence designed to help leaders understand what is being said, what it means, where issues may be emerging, and how Nigeria’s WPRF legacy is being represented.”

AGENTPR™ is built on Meaning Intelligence™, a communications intelligence architecture that goes beyond conventional sentiment analysis. It is designed to examine tone, context, stakeholder intent, reputational risk, narrative movement and cultural nuance, especially in African communication environments where literal sentiment labels often miss deeper meaning.

For WPRF Abuja 2026, the platform will support continuous tracking of Nigerian media, African coverage, international trade press, broadcast signals, social conversation and emerging issues. The intelligence output will help NIPR monitor visibility, identify risks early, assess stakeholder perception, and document the reputation impact of the Forum across its full lifecycle.

Dr. Achi said the appointment also reflects a broader shift in the future of public relations measurement.

“Visibility is no longer enough. In the AI age, institutions must understand how they are being interpreted by people, by media systems and increasingly by AI systems. AGENTPR™ was created to help communication leaders move from exposure to evidence, from sentiment to meaning, and from monitoring to strategic intelligence.”

The President and Chairman of Council of NIPR, Dr. Ike Neliaku, described the recent partnership agreements signed by NIPR as a statement of commitment towards giving the world the “Biggest, Brightest and Boldest WPRF.”

With AGENTPR™ as the Official Media Intelligence Platform, WPRF Abuja 2026 will be supported by a dedicated intelligence layer designed to track narratives, detect issues, interpret media meaning and preserve the Forum’s legacy as Nigeria hosts the global public relations community.

Full-resolution transparent PNG downloads stay free with no account and no watermarks, while most tools in the category reserve full-quality exports for registered or paying users.

RICHMOND, BC, Aug. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Jukebox, the online printing company named Best Overall by Forbes Advisor and a New York Times Wirecutter pick, today announced the most powerful release yet of its free remove background tool, which has delivered millions of free image downloads. The update adds free 4x HD image upscaling built directly into the download step, raises the maximum upload size to 25MB per photo, and supports batches of up to 50 images at once. Every export is a full-resolution transparent PNG, free, with no account, no watermark and no locked download quality.

That last part is what sets the tool apart. Jukebox’s background remover is one of the only free background removal tools that exports full-resolution transparent PNGs with no signup, no account and no watermarks. Across the category, full-quality downloads are typically reserved for registered or paying users, with free versions capped at reduced resolution. Jukebox has taken the opposite position: the full-resolution result is the free product, for every user, on every image.

The new image upscaler is the headline addition. Once a background has been removed, users can enlarge and sharpen the final cutout up to 4x before downloading, turning small or low-resolution photos into files clean enough for large-format use. It works on hair, shadows and fine edge detail, and it runs inside the same workflow, so nothing has to be moved into a second application.

The update also expands the tool’s creative range with Effects 3.0: new filters, layered outlines that can be stacked and reordered, custom and gradient strokes, wavy and jagged edges, fades and paper cutout effects. Users can add text, mask images into shapes, apply shadows, pull from stock photography, upload their own backgrounds or generate new ones with AI, making the background remover the center of a complete creative workflow rather than a single-purpose utility.

What no other tool in the category offers is where the workflow ends. A finished cutout can be sent directly into the Jukebox Sticker Maker, where die-cut lines are generated automatically, and from there produced as professionally printed custom stickers. From a photo on a phone to a printed product at the door, the entire pipeline runs through one free tool.

The background remover supports JPG, PNG and WebP files and is available now at jukeboxprint.com, free to use with no registration required.
