SEOUL – October 29, 2026 -- Generative AI search and answer services accessed DealLabs' travel database more than 11,000 times per day in mid-October, up from around 600 daily accesses in late September, a nearly 20-fold increase in under a month.

DealLabs' database holds 280,000 verified records across seven cities

As of October 13, the Seoul-based company's database covered Seoul, Busan, Tokyo, Osaka, Bangkok, Taipei and Singapore. Each record carries its source and verification date. The data feeds more than 23,000 guide pages published in formats AI systems can read directly.

Osaka accounts for more than 114,000 records, including over 42,000 medical institutions and pharmacies and more than 30,000 restaurant permits. Taipei holds more than 63,000 records, among them 7,200 station-to-station fares.

PROVIDENCE – October 29, 2026 -- The Rhode Island Life Science Hub (RILSH) and the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to plan how Rhode Island hospitals can join the MLSC-supported biobank network, with Alzheimer's and other brain diseases as the first focus.

Eleven Massachusetts institutions already participate in the network

The participating Massachusetts institutions are Baystate Medical Center, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston Medical Center Health System, Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and UMass Chan Medical School.

Berlin – October 28, 2026 -- SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) will run its SAP-RPT tabular foundation model on the HPE Spaceborne Computer-2 aboard the International Space Station, an edge-compute deployment it describes as one of the most significant for any enterprise AI model to date. The announcement headlined a package of agent, data and governance upgrades unveiled at the SAP TechEd developer conference.

SAP-RPT is planned to run onboard the ISS without sending data to Earth

Developed with HPE, the deployment is designed to support anomaly triage, predict issues before failures escalate, reconstruct missing sensor values from historical data, and generate explainable mission-health reports for astronauts and ground teams. SAP said no data needs to be sent back to Earth for analysis.

Global – October 27, 2026 -- Industrial teams can locate missing historian records by tracing one test message across five boundaries: broker receipt, subscriber receipt, parsing, database write and query. The approach comes from troubleshooting guidance on TDengine's MQTT ingestion, which warns that a live broker feed or a connected publisher proves only part of the chain.

One tagged test message anchors the diagnosis

Engineers should publish a single message for one equipment tag through the approved production path, such as plant/line2/pump07/pressure. They should log the exact topic, payload bytes, broker timestamp, publisher identity, destination table and intended source timestamp. Each test needs a fresh timestamp, because identical timestamps can make a successful write indistinguishable from an earlier one.
