Vishay Intertechnology Releases New Top-Side Cooling Mount Thick Film Power Resistor in Compact TO-263 (D2PAK) Package
MALVERN, Pa. -- Sep. 29, 2026 -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new Automotive Grade top-side cooling mount thick film power resistor. Designed for automotive applications, the Vishay Sfernice D2TO35S improves thermal performance and reduces board space requirements, while delivering high power dissipation of 35 W at 25 C in the surface-mount TO-263(D2PAK) package.
As thermal constraints increasingly become the primary system design limitation, many power components are transitioning from PCB-based cooling to top-side cooled architectures. By transferring heat directly to a heatsink, the D2TO35S released today enables up to nine times greater power dissipation than standard PCB-mounted devices when paired with an appropriate heatsink. Its compact, surface-mount design allows designers to increase power dissipation within the same footprint or provide the same functionality in a smaller footprint, while lowering PCB temperatures, reducing thermal stress on neighboring components, and improving overall system reliability.
Offering a non-inductive design for improved signal integrity and power handling in fast transient conditions, the D2TO35S features a resistance range from 4.7 W to 550 kW -- with tolerances down to +- 1 % -- thermal resistance of 4.28 C/W, TCR down to +- 150 ppm/ C, and a wide operating temperature range from -55 C to +175 C. The RoHS-compliant device is solder reflow secure at 270 C/10 s.
Samples and production quantities of the D2TO35S are available now with lead times of fourteen weeks.

NTT TechnoCross Receives Frost & Sullivan's 2026 Japanese Company of the Year Recognition for Privileged Access Management Leadership for the Third Consecutive Year
NTT TechnoCross strengthens its position in Japan's privileged access management market through unified governance, cloud-ready security, and customer-centric innovation.
-
SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 30, 2026 - Frost & Sullivan is pleased toannounce that NTT TechnoCross has received the 2026 Japanese Company of the Year Recognition in the privileged access management (PAM) industry for its strong performance in innovation, strategy execution, customer engagement, and market responsiveness. This recognition highlights NTT TechnoCross's ability to address evolving enterprise security requirements while delivering customer-centric solutions across increasingly complex hybrid and multicloud environments.
Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. NTT TechnoCross excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align its strategy and product roadmap with market shifts while consistently executing initiatives that strengthen privileged access governance, security, and operational efficiency.
"NTT TechnoCross has demonstrated a clear understanding of how privileged access management is evolving beyond traditional account protection toward dynamic, unified governance across human and non-human identities. Its ability to bring privileged account governance, access control, monitoring, auditing, analytics, and dynamic access capabilities, such as just-in-time access, together in a unified platform reflects strong alignment with the changing needs of enterprises," said Vivien Pua, Industry Principal at Frost & Sullivan.
Guided by a strategy focused on cloud-enabled PAM, integrated privilege governance, and zero trust security frameworks, NTT TechnoCross has aligned its iDoperation portfolio with the changing requirements of enterprise customers. Supporting on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments, the portfolio incorporates privileged identity management, session recording, password management and rotation, multifactor authentication, just-in-time role elevation, endpoint privilege management, audit and analytics, and non-human identity management.
Innovation remains central to NTT TechnoCross's approach. Its platform addresses growing requirements for least privilege enforcement, zero standing privileges, dynamic access control, and automated governance. The company's structured product enhancement cycle, combined with integrations across identity management, database auditing, log management, asset management, and service management platforms, helps organizations strengthen security while leveraging existing technology investments.
"We are deeply honored that our efforts in privileged access management have been recognized for the third consecutive year. As enterprise IT environments become increasingly complex and the scope of privileged access expands across cloud environments, third-party operations, and endpoints, the need to manage privileged access in a unified manner continues to grow. We will continue to enhance the iDoperation portfolio and services, helping organizations minimize the risks associated with privileged access and strengthen their overall security posture," said Akio Ogawa, Product Manager at NTT TechnoCross.
NTT TechnoCross's commitment to customer experience strengthens its market position. The company combines onboarding, consulting, implementation, training, troubleshooting, incident response, updates, security patches, and ongoing customer engagement to support long-term value. Enterprise contracts average approximately eight years, while renewal rates exceed 90%. Customer satisfaction with support reached 4.6 out of 5.0 in fiscal year 2025, reflecting the company's emphasis on service quality and responsiveness.
Frost & Sullivan commends NTT TechnoCross for establishing a standard in competitive strategy, execution, innovation, and market responsiveness. Its continued focus on cloud interoperability, automation, analytics, just-in-time access, zero standing privileges, and human and non-human identity governance positions the company to address the evolving requirements of enterprise cybersecurity.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Company of the Year Recognition to an organization that demonstrates strong strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market position, customer engagement, and competitive performance. The recognition highlights forward-thinking organizations that are advancing their industries through innovation and growth excellence.

BGE, Delmarva Power and Pepco Propose Plan to Protect Maryland Customers from Large Energy User Cost Shifts
BALTIMORE, MD September 29, 2026
Proposal requires large new electricity users, including data centers, to pay their fair share of the infrastructure built to serve them.
-
To help protect Marylanders from paying for electric infrastructure needed by large new energy users, BGE, Delmarva Power, and Pepco filed a required Large Load Tariff with the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC). Theproposal would ensure that large new customers, including data centers, would pay their fair share toward the grid all customers rely on. The filing reflects the companies' commitment to keeping bills as low as possible for customers through The Exelon Promise while supporting Maryland's continued growth and evolving energy needs.
The companies submitted this proposal in accordance with Maryland's Next Generation Energy Act and Utility RELIEF Act. It reflects input from stakeholders participating in the PSC's Public Conference 72 process, which brings together a wide range of interests to identify practical solutions. The proposal may change given the on-going developments at both the state and federal level, as well as based on future PSC guidance and decisions. The proposal:
* Would ensure that large new customers, including data centers, would pay their fair share toward the grid all customers rely on.
* Provides clear financial safeguards before major transmission and distribution investments are made, while simultaneously protecting grid reliability for customers.
"As Maryland's energy needs grow, this filing proposes clear customer protections so families and existing businesses are not left paying for large grid investments that may be delayed, scaled back or never move forward. It's a commonsense approach that protects customers while supporting Maryland's growing energy needs," said Rob Leming, vice president of Regulatory Policy and Strategy, PHI.
This filing is intended to ensure that growth happens responsibly, with clear accountability for the costs it creates in a fast-changing energy landscape. It also builds on a broader, company-wide effort to protect customers as large-load demand grows. On Aug. 4, 2026, Exelon announced it secured more than $1 billion in customer protections through Transmission Security Agreements (TSAs) across its utilities. This filing brings those same principles into one official regulatory proposal covering BGE, Delmarva Power and Pepco in Maryland.
The proposal also recognizes that electric utilities have an obligation to plan for future growth and continue to do so through established regulatory processes. However, the rapid emergence of very large individual customers, including data centers, creates new risks that traditional planning processes were not designed to address. This filing is intended to ensure that when infrastructure must be built to serve those customers, existing customers are protected if projected energy use does not happen as expected.
Protecting customers and supporting reliable, affordable energy service remain central to BGE, Delmarva Power and Pepco's approach under The Exelon Promise. This filing marks the beginning of a regulatory process to evaluate how those protections can be implemented within the broader framework being considered by regulators. As those proceedings continue, BGE, Delmarva Power and Pepco will work with stakeholders to support solutions that deliver meaningful customer protections for regulators to consider.
The PSC will hold a hearing on this matter on October 23, as well as additional hearings on Dec. 8-11, 2026.
* * *
BGE, Delmarva Power and Pepco are part of the Exelon family of companies (Nasdaq: EXC), a Fortune 200 company and one of the nation's largest utility companies, serving more than 10.9 million customers.

Alaska Air Group enters activation phase of Alaska Accelerate, building a more global, premium and diversified airline
Sep 29, 2026
Alaska Air Group announced the next phase of its Alaska Accelerate strategic plan during its 2026 Investor Day in Seattle, outlining how the combined airline is moving from integration to activation as it builds a more global, premium and diversified airline with stronger earnings power.
The strategy reflects a deliberate choiceto evolve Alaska's model for an industry increasingly defined by scale, relevance and loyalty - connecting guests to more places, delivering products and experiences that matter, and turning loyalty into a greater competitive advantage - while retaining Alaska's historic strengths in safety, operational performance, care and financial discipline.
* * *
"Alaska Accelerate is about shaping our future and doing it in a way that builds on Alaska and Hawaiian's 90+ year legacies while setting a new standard for what air travel should be. The acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines did not create a new strategy - it accelerated one we had already built. The heavy lifting is behind us, the value creation is in front of us, and we are entering the phase where the investments we have made in premium products, global connectivity, loyalty, cargo and Hawaii increasingly show up in our results."
-Ben Minicucci, CEO, Alaska Air Group
* * *
What we've delivered
When Alaska Air Group launched Alaska Accelerate in December 2024, the company set out to restore earnings power, strengthen its competitive position and deliver $1 billion in incremental profit by building a broader network, a stronger commercial platform, deeper customer engagement and a more diversified earnings base.
Since then, Alaska has:
* Captured roughly two-thirds of the $1 billion incremental profit target and remains on track to achieve the full amount by 2027. The $1 billion of incremental profit is inclusive of $500 million of merger synergies from the combination of Alaska and Hawaiian.
* Completed three of four major integration milestones, including a single loyalty program, a Single Operating Certificate and a single passenger service system. Joint collective bargaining with represented workgroups is under way.
* Optimized the combined network and launched long-haul international service from Seattle: Started nonstop flights to London, Rome, Reykjavik, Tokyo and Seoul. Announced Paris and Athens starting in spring 2027 and expanding to at least 15 intercontinental destinations from Seattle by 2030.
* Introduced Atmos Rewards, bringing the loyalty programs of Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines together in one award-winning platform. Since launch, active membership has accelerated from about 3% annual growth from 2019 to 2024 to roughly 13% by 2027, more than four times the prior pace. We expect the program to generate nearly $4 billion in cash flow annually by 2030.
* Introduced and expanded Huaka'i by Hawaiian, a benefits program designed exclusively for Hawai'i residents that further deepens loyalty engagement.
* Placed the largest fleet order in its history, growing from 400+ aircraft to 550 by 2035. Alaska has the youngest and most fuel-efficient fleet among the major carriers.
* Expanded Alaska Airlines' premium cabins, with nearly one-third of seats across the West Coast now in premium cabins.
* Continued investing in the guest experience, including airport improvements, new lounges and free Starlink Wi-Fi sponsored by T-Mobile.
* Increased revenue outside the main cabin by five points in two years, with a goal to grow that mix from 53% today to 60% over time through premium products, international growth, Atmos Rewards and cargo.
* * *
"We know what a winning airline looks like, and we've been building towards it proactively. We have captured roughly two-thirds of our $1 billion earnings target, and the next phase is about activating the investments that make our business more durable."
-Shane Tackett, President and Chief Financial Officer, Alaska Airlines
* * *
Alaska Accelerate covers four areas:
Deliver a remarkable travel experience
Alaska Air Group is investing across the travel journey, from booking and the airport experience to lounges, cabins and loyalty, with a focus on the longer-haul markets where guests place the greatest value on comfort, privacy, space and service. By 2030, we expect premium revenues to exceed 40% of total revenue, up from 35% today.
Today, the company announced investments in the Alaska and Hawaiian guest experiences with the unveiling of Aurora and Leihoku, the introduction of Premium Reserve, new Lounges and fleetwide upgrades, and the enhancement of Atmos Rewards.
* * *
"We already have the scale and customer base - now we are making sure we have the right product for every trip our guests take. Aurora, Leihoku and Premium Reserve close important product gaps across international, Hawaii and premium transcontinental flying, giving us more ways to compete for high-value demand while preserving the distinct identity of the Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines brands."
-Andrew Harrison, Chief Commercial Officer, Alaska Airlines
* * *
Connect guests to the world
Alaska Air Group is using the strength of its number one West Coast franchise, including the Pacific Northwest, California and Hawaii, to build Seattle into a true global gateway and create a more relevant network for guests, corporate customers and Atmos Rewards members.
* Alaska serves 110 destinations from Seattle, nearly twice as many as the next-largest competitor.
* The company serves seven intercontinental destinations today and expects to grow to 15 by 2030.
* Long-haul flying across our network is expected to grow from about 8% of capacity today to approximately 15% by 2030.
Be Hawaii's trusted airline
* The Hawaiian Airlines brand is the number one preferred brand to Hawaii and the number one trusted airline brand in Hawaii, while 70% of Hawaii residents are now Huakai by Hawaiian members.
* Hawaiian Airlines joined the oneworld alliance, giving guests access to a global network of leading airline partners and strengthening Honolulu as an international hub.
* We announced the fleet transition for Neighbor Island service, ensuring greater long-term reliability, more value for residents and a significantly improved customer experience while preserving local service.
Alaska Air Group is continuing its investment in Hawaiian Airlines and the communities it serves, with new milestones achieved in the Kahuewai Hawaii Investment Plan. Hawaii represents both a major visitor opportunity and an essential resident market: 9.6 million visitors travel to Hawaii each year, 1.4 million residents depend on air travel for everyday life, and Hawaii residents travel approximately 30% more than the U.S. average.
Diversify our future
Alaska Air Group is focused on increasing the share of revenue that comes from outside the main cabin; including more revenue from premium, international, loyalty and cargo. These are higher margin revenue streams that are less dependent on domestic fare levels, and more resilient through cycles. By 2030, the company expects diversified revenue to approach 60% of total revenues, up from our current mark of 53% as we continue to invest in the following areas:*
* We are bringing international premium economy cabins to our widebodies and we will take delivery of a new premium oriented 737-MAX narrowbody for transcontinental and other markets where there is strong demand fit.
* We will continue to drive double digit annual growth in remuneration from Atmos Rewards.
* We will more than double the size of our cargo business. Cargo revenue has grown approximately 60% since 2024, and the company sees a clear path to $750 million in cargo revenue by 2030, including opportunities in Hawaii freighter flying, mail, international belly capacity and broader network connectivity.
Together, these investments advance Alaska Air Group's plan to build a company with more ways to win: a more global network, a more complete premium proposition, deeper customer engagement, a stronger Hawaii franchise, a larger cargo business and a more diversified revenue base designed to support durable earnings growth through the cycle.
