AvL Technologies successfully demonstrates multi-orbit ground terminal on Telesat’s LEO 3 satellite - Telesat

The company, which started out as a Crown corporation before becoming a private entity in the 90s, operates communications satellites. The Globe and MailLenders to Ottawa-based Telesat Corp. TSAT-T have proposed a new recapitalization plan ahead of a looming debt-repayment deadline that the satellite operator is at risk of missing. Telesat, which is building a constellation of low-Earth-orbit satellites dubbed Lightspeed, has approximately US$1.71-billion in debt coming due Dec. 6, with another US$438-million of debt maturing in 2027. The debt was issued by a subsidiary of the company called Telesat Canada and is tied to the company’s fleet of geostationary satellites, an older business division that is in decline. Telesat has said in financial filings that its cash flow is insufficient to meet all of its debt obligations. The lenders – including Silver Point Capital, GoldenTree Asset Management and Sound Point Capital Management – recently put forward a second proposal to the company, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Background: A central concern in ecological momentary assessment (EMA) research is whether repeated self-report alters the reporting process itself. In most EMA domains, longitudinal stability of reporting is assumed but rarely tested. Objective: This study leveraged concurrent accelerometry as a temporal anchor to evaluate (1) whether self-reported physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) exhibited temporal shifts across a 7-day monitoring period and (2) whether this temporal shift differed across near-momentary (5-min reporting period) and coverage-based (120-min recall period) EMA protocols. Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of 315 US adults recruited from the Understanding America Study panel between January and July 2023 for the current study. Participants were monitored in their natural environments for 7 days via 2 measurement methods: continuous thigh-worn activPAL4 accelerometry and 5 daily smartphone EMA prompts assessing PA and SB. Reporting reactivity was defined as divergence in the temporal trajectories of EMA-reported behavior relative to accelerometry. Multilevel models with random intercepts and slopes tested whether linear and quadratic study da

For years, developers of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies have worked to address an unwanted side effect many users experience: cybersickness, a type of motion sickness triggered by moving digital content. In a new study published on September 25, 2026, in the journal Virtual Reality, University of Maryland scientists used electroencephalography (EEG) to identify changes in brain wave activity while participants viewed virtual content designed to induce cybersickness. The findings offer real-time signals that could help designers detect and reduce cybersickness symptoms as they occur.

Apple's iPhone Duo is attracting attention not only for its foldable design but also for concerns about how effectively the device manages heat during everyday use. Early reviews suggest that the smartphone can become noticeably warm during FaceTime calls, photography, gaming and other demanding activities. However, reviewers remain divided over whether the higher temperatures represent a significant performance problem or an acceptable compromise for an ultra-thin foldable device. Thermal management has emerged as a recurring topic in reviews published ahead of the iPhone Duo's October 23 retail launch.
