Micro-X to unveil updated Rover Mobile DR X-ray device at RSNA 2025
Micro-X Limited ( ASX:MX1 ), a global leader in miniaturized X-ray technology, will launch its newly updated Rover mobile X-ray system at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Annual Meeting in Chicago this November, marking the international debut of the upgraded platform. The next-generation Rover builds on Micro-X’s proven strengths in lightweight, motor-free mobile imaging, with innovations designed to elevate clinical workflow and imaging performance. Enhancements include the latest Lumen glass-free high-resolution detector, in-bin charging for streamlined readiness, a larger high-definition touchscreen interface, improved serviceability, and more compact stowage for crowded or space-constrained clinical environments. The updated Rover Mobile DR X-ray will debut at RSNA 2025 “The updated Rover reflects our continued commitment to designing mobile imaging systems that make clinicians’ work easier and more efficient,” said Kingsley Hall, Chief Executive Officer of Micro-X. “By combining a next-generation detector, smarter charging, and an expanded user interface with the same ultra-lightweight mobility, we’re redefining what’s possible for bedside and point-of-care X-ray imaging inside hospitals and clinics worldwide.” Using Micro-X’s proprietary Nano Electronic X-ray Technology, the Rover delivers high-quality digital radiography with exceptional maneuverability, gentle navigation across hospital floors and lifts, and minimal maintenance requirements. The new in-bin charging solution removes the need for external cabling and reduces downtime, ensuring the Rover remains ready when clinicians need it most. Showcasing Micro-X Innovation at RSNA 2025 Visitors to Booth 6537 will also experience two breakthrough developments from Micro-X’s expanding medical imaging portfolio: Full-scale model of the portable Full Body CT scanner Developed in partnership with ARPA-H under the PARADIGM program, this next-generation whole-body CT concept demonstrates how miniaturized X-ray sources can unlock new deployment models for trauma, military, sports and remote medical environments. Full-scale model of the Head CT scanner for stroke The compact, point-of-care Head CT scanner aims to transform acute stroke care by enabling immediate imaging wherever the patient presents. The latest CT image sets acquired by the prototype system will be showcased at RSNA, offering the first public look at its rapidly advancing image quality. The scanner is expected to commence Australian human imaging trials imminently, pending final regulatory license to operate. Senior Micro-X executives will be available at the stand throughout RSNA for meetings, technical briefings, and investment or partnership discussions. Book a meeting Advancing a Vision: Bringing Imaging to the Patient Across its portfolio, Micro-X is pioneering a future where imaging is delivered to the patient. Through its unique ability to miniaturize X-ray hardware using proprietary carbon nanotube (CNT) technology, Micro-X is enabling new care pathways for emergency medicine, stroke, rural and remote health, defense, and sports medicine.

Leading hyperscale data centre specialist, AirTrunk, will open its first Melbourne office at 51 Flinders Ln, occupying the top three floors comprising 1,945sqm, including an exclusive 80sqm terrace. The elevated space delivers views across Melbourne’s sporting precinct, the bay and the ranges with a premium fit-out and equal access to high-quality workspace for all staff. To support its transition to the new workspace at 51 Flinders Ln, AirTrunk will occupy short-term accommodation in 8 Exhibition St, GPT's neighbouring workplace. Carly Wishart, Managing Director - Corporate & International at AirTrunk, who is based in Melbourne said: “We are looking forward to establishing our new Melbourne headquarters at 51 Flinders Ln. With demand for cloud and AI accelerating, our business is scaling quickly, and we’re looking to bring in some of Melbourne’s top talent to help drive this growth. Spanning the top floors of 51 Flinders Ln, our new office will be a drawcard destination, bringing our team together to connect, create, and innovate, and generating the momentum we need to continue to enable the region’s digital future.” Adding to the momentum, commercial property insurer, FM will relocate from Bourke Street to a new 2,025sqm office space spanning three floors at 51 Flinders Ln. The elevated, prime position was a key driver in the company’s move, providing staff with city views and an enhanced workplace experience. Completing the latest tenancies is leading wealth management firm Koda Capital, which will occupy over 600 sqm of premium fitted space as part of GPT’s Fitted Suites offering. Drawn by the building’s central location, exceptional construction quality, and distinctive character, Koda Capital will take an entire floor—creating an environment that reflects the firm’s commitment to clients and provides an enhanced experience for employees. Matthew Brown, Head of Office at The GPT Group, said the strong leasing activity reflects the calibre of this office development and ongoing demand for premium workspaces. “These three new tenant commitments highlight the positive leasing momentum we are experiencing at 51 Flinders Ln, each inspired by this landmark, next-generation development that reimagines the workplace.” “The precinct continues to attract leading global companies and growing local firms that value quality workplace design to foster collaboration, and access to the best of Melbourne’s culture and amenity in equal measure.” 51 Flinders Ln will comprise two distinct towers, including a 14-level North Tower and a 39-level South Tower, to offer approximately 27,500sqm of A-Grade commercial office space alongside 1,000sqm of retail amenities, all set within the distinctive character of Flinders Lane. Construction of the development is underway and anticipated to be completed by mid-2026 with the building recently topping out. Upon completion, 8 Exhibition St will seamlessly integrate with 51 Flinders Ln, forming an expansive commercial precinct with enhanced accessibility, movement and visibility across both sites. It will also deliver 6,000sqm of fitted spaces across both towers, offering turnkey solutions for boutique and smaller enterprises, who are seeking flexibility and immediate occupancy, without compromising on quality. 51 Flinders Ln represents the next generation of sustainable design – fully electrified and embodied carbon neutral from construction through to operation.

Global Immigration Partners PLLC Issues New Guidance on EB-5 Investment Levels and TEA Qualification Under the Reform and Integrity Act
Global Immigration Partners PLLC Issues New Guidance on EB-5 Investment Levels and TEA Qualification Under the Reform and Integrity Act Global Immigration Partners PLLC, an international immigration law firm advising investors and businesses worldwide, today released updated guidance to help EB-5 investors understand the current minimum investment amounts —$800,000 and $1,050,000—and the criteria for qualifying a project as a Targeted Employment Area (TEA). With global demand for U.S. investor visas rising and the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act (RIA) reshaping program definitions, the firm aims to provide clarity on key rules affecting investor eligibility, project selection, and immigration timelines. Two EB-5 Investment Levels: What Investors Must Know $800,000 Minimum Investment — TEA Projects The reduced $800,000 EB-5 minimum applies when a project is located in a Targeted Employment Area . Under federal law, TEAs include: Rural Areas: Locations outside any metropolitan statistical area (MSA), with fewer than 20,000 residents. High-Unemployment Areas: Areas—defined by one or more census tracts—where unemployment reaches at least 150% of the U.S. national average . “Because rural TEA projects receive priority processing and visa set-asides, they offer significant strategic advantages for investors, especially those from historically backlogged countries,” said Alexander Jovy Co-managing partner at Global Immigration Partners PLLC. $1,050,000 Minimum Investment — Non-TEA Projects If a project does not qualify for TEA status, the required EB-5 investment is $1,050,000 , the standard amount mandated by the RIA. Understanding TEA Qualification: A Critical Step for Investors According to Global Immigration Partners PLLC, many investors misunderstand how TEAs are determined. “TEA qualification is data-driven, not subjective,” said Jovy. “High-unemployment TEAs can include strong urban redevelopment zones, and rural TEAs are often located near major cities. TEA designation alone does not indicate whether a project is high- or low-risk.” The firm notes that TEA eligibility is determined by geographic boundaries, census data, and unemployment statistics , all of which must be documented at the time of I-526E filing . Required Documentation for TEA Designation To support a TEA-based EB-5 investment, projects must provide: Census tract maps Population data (for rural areas) Unemployment calculations (for high-unemployment areas) Government-approved data sources such as ACS or BLS State labor department certification letters, when available Most Regional Centers provide complete TEA evidence packages for investor filings. Do TEA Projects Carry More Risk? A common concern among investors is whether the lower investment threshold correlates with higher financial risk. Global Immigration Partners PLLC clarifies that TEA designation has no direct relationship to investment risk . “Risk depends on the capital structure, job creation buffer, developer experience, and exit strategy—not whether the project is TEA or non-TEA,” the Jovy explained. “We strongly encourage investors to conduct legal and financial due diligence before committing EB-5 capital.” About Global Immigration Partners PLLC Global Immigration Partners PLLC is a leading international law firm specializing in EB-5 investor visas , business immigration , and family-based immigration solutions . With offices in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe, the firm advises investors, entrepreneurs, multinational companies, and families seeking U.S. immigration benefits. The firm provides comprehensive EB-5 support, including source-of-funds documentation, project evaluation, I-526E/I-829 filings, consular processing, and adjustment of status representation.

Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (Tokyo: 7272) today announced the expansion of its Robonity* series of single-axis robots and motorless single-axis actuators with the addition of a long-stroke type, a timing belt drive type, and a low-profile type with reduced overall height. The new models will be launched on December 3, 2025.

All models are equipped as standard with shutters that cover the guides, ball screws, and belts to prevent grease dispersion and foreign-matter contamination, allowing use in today's manufacturing environments requiring high cleanliness and dry conditions, such as semiconductor and EV battery production. The new long-stroke, timing belt drive, and low-profile types will also be exhibited at the 2025 International Robot Exhibition, one of the world's largest robotics trade shows, to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from December 3 (Wed) to December 6 (Sat). * "Robonity" is a coined term combining "robot" and "infinity," expressing the concept of a series offering an extensive variety of models. Long-Stroke Type Timing Belt Drive Type Low-Profile Type Market Background and Product Outline With products becoming increasingly compact, high-density, multifunctional, and diverse, product life cycles are also shortening at a rapid pace. In response, manufacturing sites are facing greater demand for multi-variety, variable-volume production, along with the need for higher equipment efficiency and shorter delivery times. In particular, the global increase in automotive battery production has led to a growing need for transfer systems that can handle copper material restrictions, low dew-point (dry) environments, low dust generation, and anti-rust performance. To meet these evolving needs, Yamaha Motor launched the Robonity series in May 2019 - a versatile lineup that allows users to choose between motorless single-axis actuators and single-axis robots, suitable for a wide range of applications from positioning to material transfer. Since its launch, Yamaha has continuously expanded the lineup, and the series is now widely used in the automotive components, electrical and electronic, and consumer goods industries, among others. The newly added long-stroke, timing belt drive, and low-profile types are all compatible with clean manufacturing environments with high air purity. With these additions, the Robonity series now offers 54 models, enabling customers to select the most optimal specifications from an extensive lineup. Leveraging its strength in providing a comprehensive range of automation solutions - from single-axis robots to collaborative robots and linear conveyor modules - Yamaha Motor continues to pursue greater efficiency and quality improvements to meet the increasingly complex and diversified needs of modern manufacturing. Main Features of the Robonity Long-Stroke Type 1) Equipped with the Optimal Support Mechanism, enabling full-stroke operation at speeds up to 2,400 mm/sec It is equipped with Yamaha's proprietary Optimal Support Mechanism (patented), which uses multiple support components to suppress vibration of the ball screw. In general, when a long ball screw operates at high speed, its center tends to deflect, causing resonance and shaft misalignment that lead to reduced accuracy - a phenomenon commonly known as the "jump-rope effect." For this reason, conventional systems must be operated at reduced speeds, but the Robonity long-stroke type suppresses speed drop-off thanks to the Optimal Support Mechanism, enabling operation at up to 2,400 mm/sec across a wide stroke range. This is approximately twice as fast as the previous model (FLIP-X Series GF Type), which had a maximum speed of 1,200 mm/sec. 2) High Rigidity and Precision Its integrated guide-rail and frame structure provides high moment rigidity in a compact form, enabling a horizontal payload of 200 kg and a vertical payload of 100 kg (with a 750 W motor). In addition, the adoption of a high-efficiency, precision-ground ball screw provides a repeatability of ±0.01 mm, ensuring both excellent accuracy and durability. Main Features of the Robonity Timing Belt Drive Type 1) Achieves the Highest Transfer Speed in Yamaha's History - 3,750 mm/sec By increasing motor output and adopting a high-lead design, the model achieves a maximum speed of 3,750 mm/s. With a 400 W motor, it can transport payloads of up to 60 kg at this speed. 2) Compatible with Long Strokes It achieves a maximum stroke of 4,000 mm, approximately 1.23 times that of the previous model (FLIP-X Series B14H). This allows long-distance transfer between stages in a wide variety of production equipment. Main Features of the Robonity Low-Profile Type 1) Enables Equipment Downsizing With its outer-rail design that integrates a low-profile aluminum frame and guide rails, the height has been reduced by approximately 20-46% compared to the previous model. The reduced overall height also contributes to making the entire system more compact. 2) Improved Static Moment Capacity Despite its slimmer design, rigidity has been improved to approximately twice that of the previous model in pitching, yawing, and rolling directions. It achieves a repeatability of ±0.005 mm and a running accuracy of ±0.02 mm per 800 mm, providing exceptional precision. Common Features of the Long-Stroke, Timing Belt Drive, and Low-Profile Types 1) Standard Environment-Resistant Design All models are equipped with protective shutters covering the guide, ball screw, and belt, preventing grease dispersion and foreign-matter intrusion. This enables use in clean manufacturing environments such as semiconductor and EV-battery production lines. 2) Wide Range of Configurations to Suit Any Application A broad selection of lead lengths, stroke variations, and mounting orientations (vertical, wall-mount, etc.) is available, allowing users to choose the optimal specification for their needs.

Commercialization on the Horizon:The PAXIS Electric Assist Cargo --Adapting Electric Wheelchair Power Units to Solve Transport and Logistics Challenges--
A total of 1.01 million visitors attended the Japan Mobility Show 2025, and many guests made their way to a bustling Yamaha Motor booth to see world premiere models like the MOTOROiD Λ and TRICERA proto. But at the same time, while they did not take a place in the spotlight, various Yamaha Motor technologies were quietly supporting the booth's operations throughout the event. For this issue, we want to introduce the PAXIS, an electrically power-assisted cargo unit. A 20-Year Track Record at Yamaha Motor's Distribution Warehouses PAXIS was on the scene at the Japan Mobility Show, moving performers onto the stage, quietly supporting the booth's festivities throughout the 12-day event. The Japan Mobility Show 2025 welcomed a total of 1.01 million visitors before concluding on November 9. The Yamaha Motor booth was crowded with guests throughout the exhibition, and the main show on the stage was such a hit that it even drew calls for an encore-a rarity for a trade show. The photo above of wind instrument girl group MOS shows a glimpse of what booth visitors got to enjoy. The reason the stagehand on the right was able to pull the cart with MOS performing on it with just one hand was thanks to PAXIS, an electrically power-assisted cargo unit. PAXIS is a tool for aiding transport duties and utilizes the drive unit from our JW Series of electric wheelchairs. It helps reduce physical workload for moving various heavy items and is a solution that has been at work in our logistics warehouses for some 20 years. Today, more than 50 units are in use, including in our factories. PAXIS will be on display at the International Robot Exhibition (iREX 2025) as a smart solution for labor challenges in the transport and logistics space. "If we could bring this product to transport worksites across Japan, it's sure to put a smile on the face of everyone who uses it." This was the vision shared by the engineers at Yamaha Motor's Machinery R&D Division handling development, the Robotics Business Unit actively advocating "total factory optimization," and the JW Wheelchairs Division looking to find more applications for its drive units. They are all working together as one "all-Yamaha" team to get this new business rolling, and as part of that effort, Yamaha Motor plans to exhibit PAXIS at the 2025 International Robot Exhibition set to open on December 3. Further Uses Possible through Combinations with Other Solutions A key feature is that a single PAXIS unit can be used to help either push or pull as needed. The greatest asset of PAXIS is undoubtedly its highly reliable drive unit. "It's got a blend of toughness and finesse. It has a robust build resulting from decades of experience powering our electric wheelchairs; it's equally capable indoors or outdoors; and the control program focuses on being friendly and easy to use," proudly explains development lead KAJIWARA, Mikio from the Machinery R&D Division. Elsewhere, HOSHI, Kentaro from the Robotics Business Unit is working on the business model for PAXIS. "While it can obviously be used on its own, if combined with industrial robots, AGVs, networking tech, and so on, PAXIS also has the potential to evolve further, like being capable of remote operation or monitoring," he says. "Looking toward real-world deployment, we're also considering plans for limited-time trial use and the like to make full-on adoption easier." Although the primary focus for power-assist cargo like PAXIS is in logistics warehouses and factories where they can fulfill an already emerging need, the possibilities may still yet grow. "The other day, we tried using it at a chestnut farm in a mountainous area," recalls Hoshi. "The farmer, a senior, used it to carry fertilizer up a narrow, sloped path and eagerly told us how much of a help it would be to have. Wherever things need to be transported, whether it's in agriculture, outdoor infrastructure work, or even at amusement facilities, I'm sure there's a need we can answer." PAXIS was designed to help those moving goods and items, and we hope visitors to next month's International Robot Exhibition next month will come see its capabilities in person.
