The premarket hours are back in the red again on Wednesday. But we're seeing plenty of penny stocks shine. The fact that most small-cap stocks are disconnected from the overall market trend is something I think is overlooked. While not all penny stocks will respond this way, many do. We saw this today with several of the breakout, midstream oil stocks that were moving hugely in after-hours trading on Tuesday evening.

It may be the size of a paperclip, but this tiny brain implant has brought life back to men suffering with upper limb paralysis. Australia-based Synchron, a neurovascular bioelectronics medicine company, announced its Stentrode brain computer interface (BCI) has allowed patients to carry out tasks on a computer just by using their mind. Using the implant, patients achieved an average click accuracy of 92 percent and 93 percent and typing speeds of 14 and 20 characters per minute - without lifting a finger. The team is using blood vessels as a natural highway to the brain, which are laced with sensors that record activity. These signals are then sent through a telemetry unit to a small computer taped to the patient's chest, which interprets what actions the individual wants to perform on the nearby PC, such as texting, emailing and shopping online.

London-based fintech company Util announced today the release of an AI-based analytics solution designed to measure companies' impact on the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). According to Util, the new solution aims to fill a gap in the market for data that can keep investors informed of the true impact of their investments, as demand for sustainable funds grows, while the effectiveness of ESG-themed products remains inconsistent. The company noted, for example, that only 6.7% of European funds labelled as'sustainable' explicitly screen out or reduce exposure to fossil fuels. "The disparity between growing demand and inadequate supply is a recipe for greenwashing at best, a bubble at worst. It has led to investments being mis-sold as sustainable, when in reality, they're inconsistent with investors' values."

Lively, Inc., creators of the modern Health Savings Account (HSA), today released its first HSA Persona Report, giving a view into how consumers are using their HSA funds. Findings show that the industry's perception of the average HSA holder is vastly misunderstood, as a majority of people who use HSAs have just $1,050 in assets and are primarily motivated to save in case of unexpected healthcare costs. This indicates that account holders do not utilize an HSA for its long-term benefits and may need more offerings and education to start saving. This press release features multimedia. "HSAs are an incredible option because of their triple tax advantage: You put money in tax-free, earn interest or potential investment growth tax-free, and can withdraw money tax-free for qualified medical expenses," said Alex Cryricac, CEO and Co-Founder of Lively.

Applitools announced today that its test automation tools have been integrated with GitHub and GitHub Actions in addition to being available on the Microsoft Visual Studio App Center. Company COO Moshe Milman said these integrations make it possible to add testing tools that incorporate machine learning algorithms, dubbed Visual AI, to a DevOps workflow using the Applitools Eyes testing platform. Those tests are run on a cloud platform dubbed Ultrafast Grid. The goal is to make it possible to easily correlate code changes across different versions of updates to web and mobile applications using any testing framework and programming language, said Milman. Visual AI can now be applied to every build and pull request, he noted.

Apple added to its rapidly growing artificial intelligence portfolio earlier this year by acquiring Spain-based AI video startup Vilynx for approximately $50 million, Bloomberg reported Tuesday. Vilynx, headquartered in Barcelona, built software that leverages computer vision to analyze a video's visual, text, and audio content with the goal of "understanding" what's in the video, which helps it categorize and tag metadata, generate automated video previews, and recommend related content, according to an earlier version of its website. Apple told Bloomberg that it "buys smaller technology companies from time to time and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans," but the company could potentially use Vilynx's technology to help improve a variety of apps. Siri, search, Photos, and other apps that rely on Apple being able to accurately organize and surface information are possible candidates, as are Apple TV, Music, News, and other apps that use recommendation engines to present users with related content. CEO Tim Cook has repeatedly talked up the potential of augmented reality as well, which could also make use of AI-based tools like Vilynx.

The companies announced their collaboration back in July, just as restaurants were forced to limit staff to ensure social distancing while keeping up with the increasing demand for delivery and take out orders due to the coronavirus pandemic. Back in September, they formally started a pilot program to test Flippy at one White Castle location, and the machine has helped serve 14,580 pounds of food and over 9,720 baskets since then. The burger chain will install the commercially available version of Flippy ROAR that was launched earlier this month into its kitchens. It expects Flippy to free up time for human staff members, so they can take care of logistics and customer service, and to help keep 24-hour locations running. The ChefUI software that powers Flippy can also be integrated with delivery apps to sync an order's completion with its pick-up time. Meanwhile, the machine's sensors and cameras can keep eye on inventory and recommend bulk orders for supplies when needed.
