MOBILTEX Cortalk Wins Materials Performance 2025 Corrosion Innovation of the Year Award
CALGARY, ALBERTA / ACCESS Newswire / May 6, 2025 / MOBILTEX is proud to announce that its CorTalk RDL1 platform has been awarded the Materials Performance 2025 Corrosion Innovation of the Year Award in the Cathodic Protection category. The RDL1 was recognized by a panel of esteemed corrosion experts from the Association for Materials Protection and Performance [AMPP], which evaluates submissions on behalf of Materials Performance Magazine. This is MOBILTEX's third time being recognized by the technical selection committee for its technology advancements and ongoing commitment to pushing the industry forward.
The RDL1 (Remote DataLogger One) represents a convergence of two classes of technology that have long been cornerstones of cathodic protection (CP) applications - stationary Dataloggers and the most advanced Remote Monitoring Units (RMUs) in the industry. The RDL1 is engineered for a wide range of applications, including: identifying transient dynamic AC and DC interference from a light rail transit system or high voltage powerline; datalogging Telluric impacts during a survey; and effectively monitoring a constant potential rectifier. The combined benefits of an unprecedented level of CP readings resolution with powerful cloud analysis capabilities, inherent operational efficiencies and cost reduction, and increased safety are significant for operators and will greatly reduce the ROI cycle on this device deployment. Simply put, the RDL1 represents a new generation of remote monitoring capabilities that will dramatically improve how CP systems are operated and maintained.
'We owe a great deal of thanks to our customers and the industry, whose insights were instrumental in shaping the RDL1" said Tony da Costa, VP of Engineering at MOBILTEX. 'We believe the RDL1 represents a genuine breakthrough - an industry-first solution that gives corrosion and integrity engineers unprecedented visibility into system performance, with granular data collection that enables the detection and analysis of fast-occurring events. We're honoured to receive this recognition, as well as our past MP Innovation awards for the uDL2 and RMU1+INT1 , and it inspires us to keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible.'
'This award for the CorTalk RDL1 - and the nominations this year for our CorTalk RMU1-SUB and SUNBIRD-SP products - are particularly meaningful because they come from respected technical leaders within our field,' added Ed Quilty, CEO of MOBILTEX. 'They confirm that our team is meeting and exceeding expectations through our commitment to innovation. By combining advanced IIoT products with our CorView Cloud Platform, we're helping our customers enhance safety, efficiency, and performance within their operations.'

Trump's Pay-For-Play Chips Deal Generates Alarm and Optimism
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump's controversial plan to take a cut of revenue from chip sales to China is leading to concerns that the US government will find new ways to start charging companies for a range of business activities with other countries. Experts and people familiar with the matter said the surprise deal, in which Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. agreed to pay 15% of their revenues from Chinese AI chip sales to the US, potentially provides a path to enter the Chinese market despite severe export controls, tariffs and other trade barriers. The US-Canadian Road Safety Gap Is Getting Wider Sunseeking Germans Face Swiss Backlash Over Alpine Holiday Congestion To Head Off Severe Storm Surges, Nova Scotia Invests in 'Living Shorelines' Five Years After Black Lives Matter, Brussels' Colonial Statues Remain For Homeless Cyclists, Bikes Bring an Escape From the Streets The question that companies must now confront is whether the risk is worth taking. People familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations, said companies are struggling to figure out what the president's order means for their future, especially given the unpredictable nature of Trump's decision-making. 'This is truly bizarre and unusual, and the troubling thing — beyond the individual instances of AMD and Nvidia — is the possibility that this will be expanded,' said Gary Hufbauer, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. 'Everything is now 'national security,' according to the new definition, which means it's all subject to export licenses and then they give you a license based on your contribution.' There are concerns that US trade agencies could begin charging fees to companies every time there's a meeting to discuss tariffs, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security, which issues export licenses, wasn't consulted about the revenue deal, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified discussing private conversations. Trump administration officials defend the idea as a smart way to generate revenue for the US government and suggest it will extend well beyond the chips sector. 'I think we could see it in other industries over time,' Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Wednesday. 'I think right now this is unique, but now that we have the model and the beta tests, why not expand it?' Bessent defended the deal and rejected any national-security concerns around the decision to sell Nvidia's H20 chip to China — something that had been earlier barred for fear of giving China a boost in the artificial-intelligence race. 'There are no national security concerns here,' Bessent said. 'We would not sell any of the advanced chips. So, the H20, I don't know whether you'd say they're four, five, six levels down the chips stack.' Either way, the deal highlights how Trump has pushed to open a wave of new revenue streams including by taking ownership shares of companies or extracting higher fees to live or work in the US. The US is weighing sales of a so-called 'gold card' residency permit, it won a 'golden share' to have direct say over corporate actions by United States Steel Corp., and it's secured investment pledges and potential revenue-sharing in country-level tariff talks. That's aside from the barrage of product tariffs that have at times left massive dislocations in globally traded markets. The matter further surprised China hawks in Congress, who have been unimpressed by the administration's reassurances. Rep. John Moolenaar, the Michigan Republican who chairs the US House Select Committee on China, questioned the legal basis for the move and suggested it does an end-run around controls put in place to limit the sale of sensitive technology to US adversaries. 'Export controls are a front-line defense in protecting our national security, and we should not set a precedent that incentivizes the government to grant licenses to sell China technology that will enhance its AI capabilities,' he said. It also raises questions about where the administration will steer the revenue. Trump has mused about issuing tariff rebate checks — though he has yet to seriously pursue the idea — while at other times he's said it would go toward narrowing the large budget deficit. The administration had debated launching a sovereign wealth fund before shelving those plans for now. It's too soon to say whether the administration will seek to revive the fund and steer revenue there, one official familiar with deliberations said. 'Trump's aides argue that these measures will strengthen America's AI leadership by maximizing its global influence and market share,' Hal Brands, a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and a former Pentagon official, wrote in Bloomberg Opinion. 'Yet it is also possible that they will simply eat into America's innovation advantage.' --With assistance from Mackenzie Hawkins and Derek Wallbank.

Possible Air Canada flight attendants strike: Is your flight impacted and will you get a refund?
The union representing Air Canada's flight attendants gave notice of a strike early Wednesday, leaving the plans of many travellers up in the air. A strike could occur on Saturday. The airline then issued lockout notice, which it said in a news release was to 'mitigate the strike's customer impact' and 'allow orderly shutdown.' Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge flights are being 'gradually suspended over the next 72 hours.' The Air Canada Component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) represents 10,000 flight attendants. Its president, Wesley Lesosky, said in a news release that it has put forward 'solid, data-driven proposals on wages and unpaid work, all rooted in fairness and industry standards.' 'Air Canada's response to our proposals makes one thing clear: they are not interested in resolving these critical issues,' he said. President and chief executive of Air Canada Michael Rousseau said the airline regrets the impact a disruption will have on customers, stakeholders and communities it serves. 'However, the disappointing conduct of CUPE's negotiators and the union's stated intention to launch a strike puts us in a position where our only responsible course of action is to provide certainty by implementing an orderly suspension of Air Canada's and Air Canada Rouge's operations through a lockout,' said Rousseau. 'As we have seen elsewhere in our industry with other labour disruptions, unplanned or uncontrolled shutdowns, such as we are now at risk of through a strike, can create chaos for travellers that is far, far worse.' Is your Air Canada flight impacted? Customers should check to see if their flights are confirmed before going to the airport, the airline says. If a flight is not confirmed, travellers should not go to the airport. 'The first flights will be cancelled August 14, with more on August 15, with a complete cessation of flying by Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge on August 16,' according to an Air Canada news release. Air Canada Express flights, the airlines' regional flights, are not affected. The union said it does not want a travel disruption of any duration, CUPE spokesperson Hugh Pouliot told National Post in an emailed statement on Wednesday. 'The union's goal is to achieve a fair contract and avert a disruption at Air Canada,' he said. 'Flight attendants love their jobs, and they want to be operating those flights and welcoming the public onboard. The last thing our members want is to be on strike or locked out.' Air Canada did not immediately return National Post's request for comment. Will you get a refund for a cancelled Air Canada flight? Yes, according to the airline, customers whose flights are cancelled 'will be notified and can obtain a full refund.' Air Canada said in a news release on Wednesday that customers who have a flight booked between Aug. 15 and Aug. 18 and would like to make other travel plans can change their flight for free if the ticket was purchased (or Aeroplan points were redeemed for the flight) no later than Aug. 13. Anyone scheduled to travel between Aug. 15 and Aug. 18 can change their flight for free to another date between Aug. 21 and Sept. 12. 'If you purchased a non-refundable fare, you may cancel your itinerary and receive the value of your ticket … to use on your next Air Canada booking,' says the airline. 'If your flight is cancelled, we will do our very best to rebook you on the first available flight, exploring options with over 120 international and domestic carriers. As we are in peak summer travel season, we know that space will still be very limited. If your travel is disrupted, you can always choose a refund.' When was the last time Air Canada flight attendants went on strike? More than 3,000 Air Canada flight attendants, members of the Canadian Air Line Flight Attendants' Association, went on strike over a dispute about wages in August 1985, the New York Times reported. The airline did want to have any travel disruptions so it ended up training 1,800 management personnel and university students as substitutes, per the Times. They received six to 10 days of training. The union argued that this would be a safety hazard. The head of the union told the publication that nothing 'compensates for experience in emergency situations.' 'After the way Air Canada has stressed safety, I can't believe they took secretaries and students and trained them for six hours and are saying it's safe,' said Pamela Bartlett, who was a veteran flight attendant for the airline when the strike started in 1985, the Montreal Gazette reported. The airline maintained that the training course met government standards. After a six-week strike, flight attendants went back to work in October 1985 after reaching a contract settlement, per the Gazette. It was the first strike for flight attendants in the airline's history. As part of the deal, flight attendants would work up to 80 hours a month, rather than the previous 75. Although salary would remain the same for the first year, flight attendants would receive a lump sum payment of $900 to $1,000 — or between approximately $2,348 to $2,870 today, according to the Bank of Canada's inflation calculator. The airline and the union agreed to a wage increase of 3 per cent in the second and third years. In 1997, flight attendants for Air Ontario (formerly Great Lakes Airlines, now Air Canada Jazz, per the London Free Press) went on strike for 11 weeks, the Montreal Gazette reported. Lisa Hutchinson, a union spokeswoman at the time, told the Gazette that flight attendants 'made some gains in wages and working conditions.' Under the previous deal, attendants could work up to 15 hours a day on nine flights. The new deal offered a slightly shorter work day of 14 hours and eight flights.
