Berlin – September 12, 2026 -- Neakasa's Riko smart wet-meal feeder has been named an IFA 2026 Innovation Award Honoree at IFA Berlin, recognized for automating fresh wet-meal preparation for cats.

Riko grinds and mixes food on demand instead of storing pre-made meals

Unlike standard automatic feeders that hold prepared wet food, Riko stores freeze-dried food in dry form and grinds and mixes it with water at each scheduled feeding time. Owners can adjust the water-to-food ratio from 1:1 to 5:1, set more than 20 meals per day, and choose portions between 1 and 15 grams.

Bethlehem, Pa. – September 12, 2026 -- OM Digital Solutions Corporation will begin shipping the OM SYSTEM PEN in late October 2026, the first camera to carry the PEN name under the OM SYSTEM brand, priced at $999.99 USD.

The PEN is an interchangeable lens camera built to the Micro Four Thirds System standard, following the rangefinder-style design lineage that began with the original PEN film camera in 1959. It is the first PEN model to include an electronic viewfinder and the first with IPX1-rated splash proof and dustproof construction, using sealing materials at key points on the camera body.

Tokyo – September 12, 2026 -- Casio Computer Co., Ltd. has announced a new addition to its G-STEEL line of shock-resistant G-SHOCK watches, the GST-W1000, which pairs the brand's signature durability with a refined metal case built from multiple finely finished components.

Four metal pieces replace the single bezel design

Instead of a single bezel covering the case, the GST-W1000 uses four separately finished metal elements on its exterior. The design hides fixing screws along the sides while maintaining shock resistance, giving the watch a seamless look from bezel to band. Four distinct finishes -- linear brushing, circular brushing, mirror finish, and polishing -- are applied across the surfaces to highlight the metal's texture.
