As COP27 Talks Continue, This Blasting Company Is Helping Create A Sustainable New Future

Laser Photonics Corporation

World leaders are gathering for the 27th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP27) in Egypt to discuss the future of the planet. As governments discuss policies, companies are bringing positive change to the marketplace by finding environmentally sustainable innovations to improve major industries. One potential innovator is Laser Photonics Corp. (NASDAQ: LASE), a company helping change the $35 billion sand and abrasive blasting market through its industrial laser technologies. Laser Photonics Corp. are integrators of low and high-power industrial fiber lasers along with its R & D department are seeking to lead the growing industrial market. Its lasers — which were showcased at North America’s largest metal forming and finishing trade show — have uses ranging from engraving and 3D printing to cleaning and conditioning. Through its innovation and commitment to safety, it hopes to create an industry that is more green for the environment and more protective of workers’ health. The company recently completed an order for the U.S. Navy that is part of a series of order completions in both the public and private sectors that are geared toward reducing waste and helping give the industry an environmentally positive future. The company delivered its CleanTech Handheld LPC-1000CTH lasers to the U.S. Navy Kings Bay Trident Refit Facility as the Navy tackles rust and corrosion of its ships and equipment. 21st-Century Solutions To Age-Old Problems Laser Photonics’ industrial laser products aim to provide a modern alternative to the less efficient, more pollutive, and more risky sand and abrasive blasting industry. Labor Unions, as well as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), are waging war on unsafe industry practices as they close in around abrasive blasting methods. The EPA’s guidelines on blasting put parameters around its use based on air quality, noise pollution, and waste production. OSHA has also described the “significant risk” to workers’ health associated with exposure to crystalline silica — a common hazard in abrasive blasting procedures — and has imposed strict rules regulating this kind of exposure. Meanwhile, Laser Photonics lasers, which frequently get the job done in half the time, produce no hazardous waste, and employ the combination of safe design and use regulations could effectively make cleaning and conditioning a fast and hassle-free procedure. This is why numerous Fortune 1000 companies are choosing Laser Photonics, which has built a strong blue-chip customer base of key players across industries. These range from Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE: DELL) and DuPont de Nemours Inc. (NYSE: DD) to Elkhart Plastics Inc., Evergreen Solar, Sony Group Corp. (NYSE: SONY), and Seagate Technology Holdings PLC (NASDAQ: STX). Laser Photonics has also seen diverse interest from government agencies, including the U.S. Army, Navy, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and Veterans Administration. “We are continually working to penetrate new verticals within the U.S. government, including the DoD (Department of Defense), to demonstrate both the efficiency and financial benefits of using our technology to drive sales to new customers within the organizations,” Laser Photonics CEO Wayne Tupuola said. Other companies in the industrial laser market include Coherent Corp. (NASDAQ: COHR), Lumentum Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: LITE), Novanta Inc. (NASDAQ: NOVT), and Adapt Laser.

Research Shows that Age Assurance Needs Clarity and Improvement

FOSI

The Family Online Safety Institute ( FOSI ) today released a new report, Making Sense of Age Assurance: Enabling Safer Online Experiences, which explores awareness and attitudes toward age assurance among parents and children in the United States, United Kingdom, and France. Age assurance ensures that users who do not meet age minimums cannot access online platforms, or must stay in age-appropriate environments. This new report found that age assurance methods are received with mixed perceptions, with respondents showing an openness to future solutions but also highlighting the need for education and transparency upon implementation. Key findings from the report captured levels of awareness among parents and children, outlooks on the use of biometric data, and cultural contrasts in parenting style. “Age assurance has long been a challenging area for the technology industry, as certain methods may also require the collection of more user data,” said Stephen Balkam, FOSI CEO. “This year’s report shows a clear opportunity to improve methods of age assurance, which must begin by helping people to understand it. This means providing clarity around the purpose of assuring age, how the process works, and how they benefit.” “At Google, we are committed to creating age-appropriate experiences to help kids and teens use technology in a safer and more privacy-protective environment,” said Markham Erickson, Vice President, Government Affairs & Public Policy, Google. “This research highlights the complexities associated with establishing the age of users and the importance of including the perspectives of both parents and their children in the discussion. We are proud to partner with FOSI on this critical work and will continue to collaborate on how to help kids and teens enjoy the benefits that technology has to offer when it comes to learning, staying connected and having fun.” Parents and responsibility Despite growing concerns about younger children accessing platforms while underage, this study found that most parents (53% in the US, 57% in the UK, and 49% in France) are willing to make an exception or allow their child to bypass an age requirement, though they then often require direct oversight of the account or discussions about how to use an app safely. While the majority of parents (74% in the US, 80% in the UK, and 73% in France) see themselves as the primarily responsible party for ensuring that their children interact with age-appropriate content, more than half of parents in each country surveyed agree that industry and government should both be more involved in protecting children. Future solutions Despite hypotheses that the use of biometric components may cause concerns around data privacy, this report found that respondents are open to age assurance methods that include it. Over two-thirds of parents and children in the US and UK, and roughly half in France, indicate that they are open to age assurance methods that include a biometric component. Nearly two-thirds of parents across all three countries feel that biometrics are an effective tool for assessing age. If offered, parents report that their most ideal method for setting age assurance on apps and services would be on a per account basis, the point at which they are downloaded from an app store. Country differences The report also finds that different social and cultural factors impact parenting styles and child-parent relationships in each country. US parents reported the highest amount of time spent monitoring their children’s online usage at 11.8 hours per week, in contrast with UK parents at 7.6 hours per week, and French parents at 3.5 hours per week. French parents are also the least likely to use tech tools such as monitoring software or apps to oversee their children’s online activities. 87% of US parents and 82% of UK parents have used such tools, compared to 65% in France. This study was supported by Google, and conducted by Kantar. Topline findings will be presented at the FOSI 2022 Annual Conference, Trust and Assurance: Online Safety in an Uncertain World. Each year, FOSI convenes the premier event in online safety, bringing together leaders from across industry, government, academia, and the nonprofit sector. This year’s agenda includes topics such as content moderation, privacy policy, safety in the metaverse, digital wellbeing, and more. The conference will feature remarks by FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya, as well as the launch of the Global Online Safety Regulators Network, a new initiative seeking to encourage a collaborative approach to legislation globally. About FOSI The Family Online Safety Institute is an international, non-profit organization that works to make the online world safer for kids and their families. FOSI convenes leaders in industry, government and the non-profit sectors to collaborate and innovate new solutions and policies in the field of online safety. Through research, resources, events and special projects, FOSI promotes a culture of responsibility online and encourages a sense of digital citizenship for all.

Financial SaaS For Web3? How Ink Finance Is Empowering DAOs with Financial Governance

Ink Finance

Ink Finance ’s motto is, “Finance is built on credit, and credit is competence.” In other words, an organization that wants funding needs to demonstrate its creditworthiness by showing it can manage its own financial affairs in a transparent way. By that same logic, decentralized finance (DeFi) investors need to do their due diligence to make sure any organization they invest in demonstrates strong financial and operational health. In traditional finance, it is precisely the inability to access such information that makes financing small-to-mid sized enterprises extremely difficult. Ink Finance is set to use the full power of blockchain to change this. A key hurdle to that process has been establishing creditworthiness and trust. Existing decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governance structures are vulnerable to Sybil attacks, in which a large number of fake accounts gain a controlling influence over the organization; and whale attacks, in which a single member with a large enough stake can disrupt the organization’s mission. Attacks like these have led to millions in stolen funds that DAO members and investors can’t recover. The DAO, for example, a large investor-directed venture capital firm, launched in 2016 and was promptly hacked three months later. The hack resulted in $60 million worth of stolen ether (ETH). The all-in-one DAO toolset that Ink Finance is developing is meant to overcome those hurdles with integrity and balance of power, and create a simplified, efficient mechanism that fosters secure, accountable, and transparent fiscal control, thereby empowering DAOs to establish creditworthiness, so that they can use suitable financial products for both raising funds and managing investments. Here’s how the INK web app is solving financial governance issues for DAOs. Identity Verification And Operational Transparency To address vulnerabilities and create DAOs with secure ecosystems and manager accountability, Ink Finance’s comprehensive DAO toolkit includes a set of alternatives of identity verification. It includes INK’s self-developed social media verification, Humanode ’s biometric verification, and Astra ’s legal verification. All of these mechanisms create a way to confirm a member’s identity without revealing sensitive personal data, and any combination of these methods can be chosen by the DAO and applied to different roles in its ecosystem. Meanwhile, all operations within the DAO are fully transparent and intra-protocol rules are enforced by encoded procedures carried by smart contracts, creating a comprehensive, secure on-chain operational structure that records an organization’s financial health and risk-control mechanisms. For DAOs looking to raise funding away from its own home blockchain, Ink Finance makes it possible for the DAO to build the structure once and replicate it on other networks, enabling it to fundraise from different sources while keeping it consolidated in one capital book. The protocol’s Multichain module extends a DAO’s immutable reputation record across multiple blockchains. For investors, this rich set of behavioral data gives them the critical information needed in making thoroughly vetted investment decisions. Bespoke Financial Products InkEnvelope is Ink Finance’s innovative technical construct that allows DAOs to easily “adopt” and wrap assets of very different origins and forms into a fungible token for easy access. This construct can also be used to create unique financial products for fundraising. This tool explicitly attaches any non-fungible critical information — such as governance procedures or risk triggers — to a fungible token that can be handled by mainstream wallets and DeFi facilities. For example, an investment DAO could construct a managed fund for acquiring real-world arts, in which complete & complex fund management details, such as the appraisers, escrow lawyers, gallaries, auction houses, insurance, liquidation rules, etc., — are all wrapped in an InkEnvelope backed fungible token that’s easier to issue, trade and clear. Rich Asset Management Toolset For Investment DAOs The “pluggable” Investment Management component allows organizers to build investment DAOs with rigorously and transparently managed processes. Many of the aforementioned building blocks such as identity verification (applicable to different roles), or the InkEnvelope wrapped assets, are utilized in this toolset to make on-chain asset management flexible, comprehensive, and most importantly, easily adaptable to a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape in the DeFi space. With these features and functions, Ink Finance is hoping to unlock the potential of DAO-to-DAO finance, in a new era of DeFi. Cash rich investment DAOs will meet asset rich Metaverse or Gamefi DAOs through transparent and secure governance structures on both ends, thereby establishing and continuously enhancing their respective competence, making both better equipped to drive their growth. Ink Finance is a DAO governance toolset, enabling all kinds of ecosystems to establish governance economy, manage internal finance, and connect with DeFi investors everywhere, through a no-code user experience. As a Financial SaaS built on blockchain, Ink Finance has the most comprehensive financial engineering tools to support on-chain issuance, settlement, clearing, and analysis of Non-Fungible Financial Products.Ink Finance is backed by heavy weight eco builders such as Republic Crypto and DeFi Alliance, partnered with cutting-edge solution providers such as Humanode, Astra, SolvFinance, Polytrade and deBridge, etc. This post contains sponsored advertising content.
