SHANGHAI – October 29, 2026 -- VeriSilicon (688521.SH) has launched GLTiny, a 3D GPU programming model that pairs a streamlined API with an ultra-lightweight driver for smartwatches, smart glasses and other wearables with tight power and memory budgets. GLTiny runs on the company's Nano OpenGL ES GPU IP series.

GLTiny cuts driver memory footprint and CPU overhead through configurable rendering

The model draws on VeriSilicon's experience in wearable graphics. Developers define their rendering requirements through configurable functions, and GLTiny maps them onto the underlying OpenGL ES GPU capabilities. VeriSilicon says this reduces driver memory footprint and CPU overhead, improving power efficiency and performance on constrained hardware.

Mountain View – October 29, 2026 -- xTool has begun worldwide shipping of the X1, a desktop laser engraver and cutter priced from $3,399 to $6,679, built around swappable laser modules that let buyers add capabilities without buying a second machine.

Galvo and gantry systems run on a synchronized 4-axis linkage

The X1 combines a high-speed Flying-Galvo system with a large-format Dragon-Gantry workspace. xTool says this removes the usual trade-off between engraving speed and working area. The machine uses a 4,000-ton UniCast high-pressure die-cast aluminum frame, and software feathering algorithms are meant to remove micro-vibrations and visible seams across flat and 3D surfaces.

xTool is competing on motion architecture rather than wattage. "The future of desktop fabrication is not about replacing machines every time your business expands," said Jessie Liu, President of xTool.

Three colour-coded hens drive the Win & Spin bonus

The Win & Spin bonus is enhanced by three Feature Pots, each linked to a coloured hen. Every Hen Symbol collected fills its matching pot, and landing multiple symbols raises the chance of triggering several features at once.

United Kingdom – October 19, 2026 -- Inspired Entertainment (NASDAQ: INSE) has launched two Hybrid Dealer titles, Big Piggy Bank Roulette 54 and Big Piggy Bank Big Wheel, to operator partners in the UK and Malta iGaming markets.

Cambridge – October 15, 2026 -- Bulgin, an Infinite Electronics company, has added hybrid circular connectors to its 6000 Series Buccaneer range, combining two 16 A power contacts and 3 A signal contacts in one IP68-rated housing.

Hybrid design removes the need for separate power and signal cable routing

The 6000 Series Hybrid Buccaneer is aimed at smaller devices such as test and measurement equipment, sensors and control systems. Integrating both connection types in a single interface cuts space requirements and eliminates separate cable routing for power and signal.

Two central power contacts are rated at 16 A. Designers can choose from three configurations with two, four or six 3 A signal contacts.

Mark Berry, VP of Product & Portfolio Management at Infinite Electronics, said the company integrated high-current power and signal channels into one sealed interface to deliver a smaller footprint without compromising performance.
