DESLOC V150 Plus Earns Kickstarter “Project We Love” Recognition for Its Creative Approach to Smart Lock Innovation

Published

on

The world’s first low-light self-charging solar smart lock continues to gain Kickstarter momentum with solar power, 3D face recognition, AI fingerprint access, and built-in Wi-Fi

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DESLOC, a global smart lock brand backed by DESMAN’s 17 years of engineering experience and trusted by nearly 10 million families worldwide, today announced that its DESLOC V150 Plus Kickstarter campaign has been selected as a Kickstarter “Project We Love,” a recognition given to standout campaigns that demonstrate strong creativity, innovation, and community appeal, marking an important milestone not only for DESLOC but also for the broader smart lock category.

The recognition follows strong early campaign momentum. DESLOC V150 Plus reached 100% funding within the first hour of launch and continued to attract support from early adopters looking for a lower-maintenance, more future-ready way to secure their homes. During the same launch week, DESLOC also showcased V150 Plus at the 2026 ALOA Convention & Security Expo in Las Vegas, where the product was demonstrated to professional locksmiths and security experts and drew positive responses for its solar-powered design, advanced access technologies, security features, and installation experience. V150 Plus, together with DESLOC K120, was also selected for the ALOA New Product Showcase, further highlighting DESLOC’s product innovation in smart home security.

“Being selected as a Kickstarter ‘Project We Love’ is a meaningful recognition of what we set out to build with V150 Plus,” said Mark Dong, CEO at DESLOC Smart Lock. “Smart locks have already changed how people enter their homes, but power anxiety remains one of the biggest frustrations in daily use. V150 Plus rethinks that foundation with self-charging solar technology, making smart access easier to maintain and more reliable for everyday families.”

A New Energy Logic for the Front Door

For many homeowners, the biggest concern with a smart lock is not only how to unlock the door, but whether the lock has enough power when they need it most. DESLOC V150 Plus was designed to solve this everyday pain point by shifting smart locks from manual charging and battery replacement toward self-charging solar power.

Powered by an integrated perovskite solar panel, V150 Plus converts light into energy to help recharge its removable 10,000mAh battery, even in low-light and shaded entryway conditions. Combined with DESLOC’s intelligent energy management system, the lock is designed to reduce battery maintenance, lower the need for frequent charging, and support a more environmentally responsible smart home experience.

Beyond solar power, V150 Plus brings together several advanced access technologies in one connected lock. Its 3D face recognition with liveness detection enables hands-free entry while helping prevent spoofing attempts. DESLOC’s curved-touch AI fingerprint sensor recognizes fingerprints in as fast as 0.15 seconds and adapts over time for improved recognition, even with weak or worn fingerprints.

With built-in Wi-Fi, homeowners can manage access, check lock activity, monitor battery status, and control the lock remotely through the DESLOC App without requiring an additional hub. V150 Plus also supports voice assistant integration with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

From Kickstarter Innovation to Everyday Home Security

The Kickstarter “Project We Love” recognition, combined with positive responses from locksmith professionals at ALOA Expo, highlights V150 Plus as more than another smart lock with added features. It reflects DESLOC’s larger vision for the next generation of home access: smarter, easier to maintain, more sustainable, and powered by light.

The DESLOC V150 Plus Kickstarter campaign is now live. Backers can support the campaign and unlock Kickstarter-only offers while supplies last.

BreakBio, the Third Player in Personalized Drugs, Enters the Clinic

Published

By

MIAMI, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BreakBio, the third player in personalized drugs after Moderna and BioNTech and the top private company in the personalized drugs space with advanced cutting-edge technology, is entering the clinic next quarter. BreakBio aims to be not first-in-class but best-in-class. It is designed for both higher efficacy than Moderna or BioNTech and it is also designed to treat more cancer indications than Moderna or BioNTech.

BreakBio, the Third Player in Personalized Drugs, Enters the Clinic

BreakBio is designed for higher efficacy than Moderna’s individualized neoantigen therapy (INT). Higher efficacy because BreakBio is designed to find better targets per patient. It is an AI first biotech company. For every patient, its platform integrates highest quality tumor DNA sequencing, RNA sequencing, mass-spectrometry-based immunopeptidomics (of that patient) with proprietary deep AI analysis to find better targets on that patient’s cancer cells. Better targets means killing more (or all) of the cancer cells.BreakBio is designed to extend personalized drugs to more cancer indications than Moderna. BreakBio achieves this by targeting not just neoantigens (associated with mutations as Moderna and BioNTech do) but it also searches for and finds, in each patient, some of the hundreds of cancer-associated non-mutated proteins such as cancer testis antigens, embryonic antigens, etc. – so BreakBio is designed to also work for low mutational cancers, which means it is designed to work for all solid cancers both high mutational cancers like melanoma and low mutational cancers like colorectal.

About BreakBio:

BreakBio is a new generation of personalized cancer drugs designed to deliver both greater efficacy per patient and treat a broader range of cancers than today’s individualized neoantigen therapy competitor. The company combines mass spectrometry, machine learning, and its proprietary AI platform to design and manufacture individualized peptide-based medicines tailored to each patient’s cancer and combines them with approved cancer therapies to drive deeper and more durable anti-tumor responses.

Unlike approaches focused only on mutation-related neoantigen targets found in high-mutational cancers like melanoma, BreakBio targets neoantigens, but also targets non-mutated antigens (found by its AI platform per patient) in order to broaden the treatment to all solid tumors.

SBA, Department of Energy Partner to Advance President Trump’s American Energy Dominance Agenda

Published

By

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) establishing a strategic partnership to advance President Donald J. Trump’s American energy dominance agenda. Signed by SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler and Energy Secretary Chris Wright at an event today in Pennsylvania, the agreement establishes the Small Business Investment Company-Energy (SBIC-E) Initiative, intended to help attract and scale private investment into technology areas, components, and production processes critical to American energy production.

“President Trump is establishing American energy dominance, ending the Green New Scam, and putting our nation’s producers and innovators back in control at the dawn of a new era of energy reliability and abundance,” said SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler. “Through this partnership, the SBA and Department of Energy are strengthening access to capital in the private sector to ensure America’s fossil fuels, nuclear, and electric power technology and infrastructure are the most advanced and plentiful in the world. By aligning investment from the proven Small Business Investment Company Program with the DOE’s strategic priorities, this Administration will fuel the producers that deliver affordable energy to families and small businesses across our great nation.”

“America’s small businesses drive American innovation and affordable, reliable energy access.” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright. “By partnering with the Small Business Administration, the Energy Department is committing to invest its resources in American small businesses that will create jobs, strengthen our domestic manufacturing base, and unleash American energy production.”

The SBIC-E Initiative builds on the SBA’s broader push to restore domestic manufacturing and supply chain independence, complementing initiatives such as the SBA’s 90% Loan Guarantee for small businesses across the energy production supply chain. The initiative also mirrors a similar effort the SBA launched alongside NASA earlier this year to enable targeted SBIC investment in support of strategic aerospace priorities.

Through the MOA, the Department of Energy’s Office of Technology Commercialization and the SBA’s Office of Investment and Innovation will align DOE’s strategic energy priorities with SBA’s Small Business Investment Company Program, which currently boasts $58 billion in combined portfolio value. The DOE will identify critical technology, energy production, and supply chain needs, while the SBA will license and oversee participating SBIC investment funds that commit capital into priority focus areas, including:

Traditional energy production, infrastructure, and storageNext-generation nuclear power and baseload power systemsAdvanced materials, metals, and critical mineralsEnergy systems resilience and grid equipmentSpecialized supply chain technologies vital to national and economic security

The initiative focuses on the foundational technologies and industrial capabilities that support DOE’s mission priorities and President Donald J. Trump’s energy dominance agenda. DOE priorities will be reviewed and updated regularly as requirements evolve, helping direct investment toward technologies that are most essential to maintaining a resilient domestic energy supply chain.

About the U.S. Small Business Administration
The U.S. Small Business Administration helps power the American dream of entrepreneurship. As the leading voice for small businesses within the federal government, the SBA empowers job creators with the resources and support they need to start, grow, and expand their businesses or recover from a declared disaster. It delivers services through an extensive network of SBA field offices and partnerships with public and private organizations. To learn more, visit www.sba.gov
