IFA Berlin is an annual consumer electronics and home appliances trade show in Berlin, Germany, where major tech brands unveil new products.
ODYSS is taking $199 reservations for its N1 food-logging necklace on a better-than-99% accuracy claim from its own pre-production tests. That figure covers noticing a meal, so buyers take the food identification and calorie counts behind most of its scores on the company's word.

Informa is buying Clarion from Blackstone for £2.24bn, adding more than 100 events including DSEI, the defence fair held every two years at London's ExCel. The deal gives Informa scale, plus a protest risk tied to the Middle East conflict that has already disrupted its own events.

Frore Systems' AirJet Mini vibrates a membrane to drive ambient air at 200 km/h over a copper plate. Four of them cool Lenovo's 830-gram AeroBlade, removing about as much heat as the fan they replace.

The chore a robot mower leaves behind, trimming the edges by hand, got solved at IFA this year. The FCC's ban on advanced robotic devices is why American buyers are not getting the fix any time soon.

N+ hung a licensed Volkswagen badge on a $4,000 e-bike and called the result the world's safest, but the battery packs never made it to IFA, so the glasses, camera and handlebar screen the claim rests on were described rather than ridden.

PAIR cut a five-subagent inbox task from 18 minutes to 8 minutes 48 seconds across three machines, which is just over two times the speed for three times the hardware, and every box in NVIDIA's demo cluster was one NVIDIA sells.
