PathAI Announces Exclusive Collaboration with Roche Tissue Diagnostics to Advance AI-enabled Interpretation for Companion Diagnostics
PathAI, Inc., a leading AI-powered precision pathology company, today announced an expanded and exclusive relationship with Roche Tissue Diagnostics (RTD) that will bring AI-enabled interpretation to companion diagnostics. Building upon the success of their initial partnership announced in October of 2021, this expanded collaboration will provide an integrated and streamlined solution for biopharma sponsors looking to develop AI-enabled companion diagnostics.
Under this agreement, PathAI will exclusively work with Roche Tissue Diagnostics (RTD) to develop AI-enabled digital pathology algorithms in the companion diagnostics space. RTD will work exclusively with PathAI for a pre-specified term as the sole external algorithm development company for AI-powered companion diagnostics, while retaining the ability to continue to develop its own algorithms for companion diagnostics. PathAI will retain the ability to freely develop algorithms outside of companion diagnostics.
RTD and PathAI will create an integrated CDx assay, plus algorithm development process, to provide biopharma sponsors a seamless solution for AI-enabled companion diagnostics. With the increasing investment in immuno-oncology (IO) and now antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), the need for diagnostic tools that are optimized for patient selection will be critical for development, regulatory, and commercial success.

qBeam Launches Innovative Window Ablation Laser System for Enabling Free Space Optical Communications
qBeam, Inc. (qBeam), a leader in the development of groundbreaking optical products, today announced the general availability of its handheld laser ablation device for enabling free space optical communications (FSOC) from indoor office locations. The qBeam window ablation laser allows optical communication terminals to be installed indoors by treating the windows that otherwise block the terminal’s infrared beam.
Commercial buildings utilize energy efficient windows to reduce HVAC operating costs. These windows include a low-E coating which blocks infrared (IR) wavelengths and thus limit heat from escaping to the outside. Unfortunately, the low-E coating also precludes operating optical communications equipment from indoor locations.
qBeam’s handheld device uses a laser beam to create a small “opening” in the low-E coating to allow IR energy to pass through with minimal attenuation. This results in a dramatic improvement in transmission for free space optical communications.
The portable laser system includes a variable focus-depth capability to accommodate most commercial windows, and can create “openings” of approximately 4” x 4” without repositioning the device. Larger openings require multiple applications. The process is permanent and can be applied in a matter of minutes.
The window ablation laser device complements qBeam’s existing line for FSOC modems by enabling their installation in more locations. The qBeam FSOC modem, released in 2023, offers a lower cost alternative to fiber optic solutions for terrestrial networks when mated to a compatible optical terminal. In the past, free space optics failed to gain traction because legacy FSOC modems did not adequately account for the impact of atmospheric turbulence.
The qBeam FSOC modem works differently. It includes forward error correction capabilities and a fade tolerant mode that provide end-to-end protection for transmitted data. As a result, the qBeam FSOC modem supports longer ranges and higher data rates than legacy systems, delivering unsurpassed stability, reliability, and performance.
The plug-and-play qBeam FSOC modem integrates seamlessly with existing optical terminals to rapidly deliver these and other advantages to infrastructures already in place. It works with traditional gigabit Ethernet (GigE) networks, supporting both GigE and 2.5 GigE client connections via a standard RJ-45 or SFP+ interface. qBeam is actively seeking relationships with optical terminal manufacturers to make it even easier for customers to quickly deploy a more holistic FSOC solution. qBeam plans to release an optical terminal in late 2024.
“For too long, optical communications have suffered from untapped potential, leaving government and commercial entities with a variety of unsatisfactory choices to best support their terrestrial and ground-space communications requirements,” said Eugene Estinto, qBeam’s President and CEO. “Our innovative FSOC modems and window ablation systems unlock that potential with a compelling and easy-to-use product that immediately provides value and changes the landscape for our customers.”
About qBeam
Formed in 2014 and headquartered in Leesburg, VA, qBeam Inc. develops optical/laser products and simulation and modeling software for communication links. The company designs and manufactures innovative free space optical (FSO) modems, multi-spectral infrared cameras, laser etching/ablation systems, and optical range simulators. It also authored the Embed/Comm physical layer communication simulation software addon. For more information about our technology company and products, please visit www.qbeaminc.com.

Battery Mineral Resources Corp. Announces Agreement with Anglo-American PLC to Sell Slag Copper Concentrates Produced at the Punitaqui Plant
Battery Mineral Resources Corp. (TSXV: BMR) (OTCQB: BTRMF) (“Battery” or “BMR” or the “Company”) is very pleased to announce the execution of an Offtake Agreement (or the “Agreement”) with Anglo American Sur. S.A. (“Anglo” or “Anglo American”) a division of Anglo-American PLC.
Anglo’s Chagres smelter in Catemu, Chile has agreed to sell up to 240,000 Dry Metric Tonnes (“DMT”) of copper slags to be processed into copper concentrates at BMR’s Punitaqui copper flotation plant. Anglo has agreed to purchase all the copper concentrate to be produced from the supply of copper slags. The terms and conditions of the Agreement are benchmark for this type of concentrate. BMR anticipates the processing of copper slags will commence within approximately 90 days, subject to completing certain plant maintenance and upgrade activities. The Agreement is in addition to the agreements previously entered into between the Company and Javelin Global Commodities (“Javelin”), as such agreements were announced by the Company on February 12, 2024. Javelin shall not market the copper concentrates processed from copper slags and shall not be paid any commission in respect thereof.
Battery CEO and director Martin Kostuik stated: “We are extremely pleased to announce this agreement, which comes at a perfect time for BMR. The Agreement provides the Company low-cost copper bearing material to be processed at our Punitaqui flotation plant while Battery begins commissioning of the plant. It allows BMR to generate cash flow from copper sales while the Cinabrio, San Andres and Dalmacia mines will be ramping up to reach full production.”
Furthermore, by allowing BMR to process slags, which are a by-product of previously smelted ores, the Agreement further demonstrates the Company’s ongoing commitment to the Environmental portion of its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principals. Specifically, the processing of slags does not include activities which would otherwise be undertaken by BMR when processing fresh ore from its mines, including but not limited to underground drilling, blasting and mining.
BMR is pleased to have entered into an Agreement that is both economically and environmentally beneficial.
