KCI Launches SoundScanNX, an AI-Powered Tool for Noise Analysis
SoundScanNX brings efficiency, objectivity, and precision to a process traditionally reliant on time-consuming manual analysis. For use in traffic noise impact studies, this AI-driven model simplifies the classification of audio recordings, automatically distinguishing between traffic and non-traffic noise, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, airplanes, birds, voices, and more. By eliminating the need for human listening, SoundScanNX streamlines traffic studies by automatically analyzing audio recordings, identifying the dominant sound in each file along with its peak and average amplitudes. SoundScanNX is available on the BRYX Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) cloud platform, allowing users to quickly upload their audio files, process them efficiently, and easily view and download their results.
'Accurate and consistent noise classification is essential for shaping healthier, more livable communities,' said Jeanne Ruthloff, KCI's Technology & Innovation Sector President. 'SoundScanNX empowers AEC professionals with the insights they need to design and recommend smarter urban spaces while optimizing resources and ensuring regulatory compliance.'
Designed for easy integration into existing urban planning workflows, SoundScanNX eliminates tedious data sorting, allowing professionals to focus on strategic decisions. This advancement helps streamline workflows, reduce inefficiencies, and support data-driven decisions for sustainable urban development.

Activist investor Starboard builds over 9% stake in Rogers
(Reuters) -Activist investor Starboard Value said on Wednesday it has built a 9.3% stake in Rogers Corp as it seeks to push for changes at the advanced materials maker. Shares of Rogers were up 10% in extended trade. However, the stock has fallen more than 30% so far this year. Rogers, which makes advanced materials used in electric and hybrid cars, automotive safety, radar systems and other industrial applications, has a market value of about $1.28 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Reuters reported in 2023 that the activist investor was building a sizable stake in Rogers and was seeking seats on the company's board in its push for changes. The investor said it believes shares of Rogers, at the time of purchase, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Starboard had previously entered into an agreement with Rogers regarding the composition of its board and other matters, it said in a regulatory filing. Following the agreement, Starboard has engaged in discussions with Rogers' management and board regarding opportunities for value creation. The Wall Street Journal reported that Starboard had built a stake of over 9% in Rogers earlier on Wednesday.
