Sustained acoustic medicine helps athletes bridge that critical gap between recovery and performance by providing an advanced, non-invasive therapy proven to accelerate healing and reduce pain

TRUMBULL, CT / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2025 / Fall sports are back, and athletes and their trainers are using ZetrOZ Systems‘ sustained acoustic medicine (sam®) technology to treat injuries and help players recover and stay game-ready throughout the demanding fall season.

Sustained acoustic medicine, invented by ZetrOZ Systems, is continuous, long-duration ultrasound treatment applied directly to the site of an injury. The ZetrOZ Systems sam® X1 and 2.0 devices are the only wearable ultrasound units cleared by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for daily home use.

More than 30 clinical studies and 3.7 million patient treatments have validated the effectiveness of sustained acoustic medicine and the sam® device in treating a spectrum of conditions, including the soft tissue injuries common to fall sports.

Studies show that the traditional fall sports of football and soccer are the toughest on athletes. A five-year review of college sports found more than 41,000 injuries among football players, nearly one injury for every 100 times a player participated in a practice or game. The injury rate in women’s soccer was nearly as high.

Nearly half of all college sports injuries are sprains and strains, and about one in four of those soft-tissue injuries required a week of recuperation – forcing players to miss practices and games.

Sustained acoustic medicine and the sam® device are widely used in college and professional sports for their effectiveness in treating soft-tissue injuries, as documented in several clinical studies.

A 2022 study of tendon, ligament and other injuries, involving 239 healthcare providers, found that sam® showed clinical improvement in under two weeks for nearly 70% of cases while reducing pain medication use by 50%.

“The daily demands of training, practices and games can be hard on athletes, whether they’re in high school, college, or professional leagues,” said Dr. George K. Lewis, a biomedical engineer and founder and CEO of ZetrOZ Systems. “From clinical research and from our close relationships with sports medicine physicians and athletic trainers, we know that our sam® device helps athletes recover from training, heal from injuries more quickly, and avoid re-injury.”

The sam® unit applies long-duration ultrasound directly to the site of pain or injury in soft tissue, which decreases inflammation while increasing blood vessel diameters to improve blood flow. That augments oxygenated hemoglobin at the site and removes cytokine enzymes and cellular waste, accelerating healing and reducing pain.

ZetrOZ Systems’ sam® devices are designed and manufactured in the United States. The device and sustained acoustic medicine are protected by nearly 50 U.S. and international patents.

To learn more about how sam® can keep athletes game-ready this fall, visit www.zetroz.com or www.samrecover.com.

About ZetrOZ Systems

ZetrOZ Systems is leading healing innovations in sports medicine, developing wearable bioelectronic devices for the delivery of sustained acoustic medicine (SAM®). Researched and funded by the federal government, ZetrOZ is built on the proprietary medical technology of 46+ patents and is the exclusive manufacturer and developer of the SAM® product line, which is designed for the treatment of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. cost effective, non-invasive, drug-free, modality used for treating soft tissue injuries and treating chronic pain.

PLANO, TX / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2025 / BGSF, Inc. (NYSE:BGSF) (“BGSF” or “the Company”), a leading provider of workforce solutions for the specialized property management industry, today announced additional information regarding the previously announced pending special cash dividend of $2.00 per share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), payable on September 30, 2025 to the holders of record of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on September 23, 2025.

Because the payment of the special cash dividend represents more than 25% of the trading price of the Common Stock, NYSE has advised the Company that its common shares will trade with “due bills” representing an assignment of the right to receive the special cash dividend from the record date of September 23, 2025 through the closing of trading on NYSE on September 30, 2025, which is the payment date and the last day of trading before the October 1, 2025 ex-dividend date (this period of time representing the “Dividend Right Period”).

Shareholders who sell their Common Stock during the Dividend Right Period will be selling their right to the special cash dividend, and such shareholders will not be entitled to receive the special cash dividend. Due bills obligate a seller of Common Stock to deliver the special cash dividend payable on such Common Stock to the buyer (the “Dividend Right”). The record date of September 23, 2025 will be used as the date for establishing the due bill tracking of the Dividend Right to the holder of Common Stock.

Due bill obligations are customarily settled between the brokers representing the buyers and the sellers of shares. The Company has no obligation for either the amount of the due bill or the processing of the due bill. Buyers and sellers of the Common Stock should consult their brokers before trading to be sure they understand the effect of NYSE’s due bill procedures.

About BGSF

BGSF provides best-in-class property management resources and solutions to growing apartment and luxury communities, as well as commercial properties, and was awarded Supplier Company of the Year by the National Apartment Association in recent years. Through its exclusive and semi-exclusive agreements with some of the largest property management companies in North America, BGSF offers differentiated advantages to clients, including trained talent and unique technological platforms that maximize efficiencies in the growing residential and commercial leased property industries.

“Turning Energy Storage into Assets: RelyEZ’s Value for U.S. Investors”

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2025 / At RE+ 2025 in Las Vegas, the conversation was not only about technologies on display but about the financial future of clean energy. Solar and wind are now mainstream, but it is energy storage that determines whether renewables can truly stand on their own. In this new reality, RelyEZ is positioning storage not as a supporting component, but as a bankable asset class – one that investors can treat like real estate: tangible, reliable, and revenue-generating.

With recognition as a Top 10 BESS provider by S&P Global, more than 15 GWh of projects already executed, and an annual capacity of 20 GWh, RelyEZ is proving it has both the scale and credibility to lead this transformation. Backed by BloombergNEF Tier-1 ratings and Munich Re insurance, the company is de-risking storage investments on a global level.

From Hardware to Bankable Assets

Asked what makes RelyEZ different, Uri, RelyEZ’s U.S. Business Development Manager, was clear:

“We don’t just deliver hardware – we deliver confidence. With our scale, technology, and execution, RelyEZ is setting new benchmarks for reliability and performance.”

That confidence comes from the company’s full-spectrum strategy. RelyEZ covers the entire lifecycle of a project:

• Origination & design with grid-forming capabilities and immersive liquid-cooling

• Financing & insurance backed by global partners such as Munich Re

• Deployment & integration at utility and C/I scale

• Operations & trading through the EnergyHub EMS and EnergyCloud AI platforms

• Operations, trading & tokenization through the EnergyHub EMS, EnergyCloud AI platform, and RWA-ready solutions

By aligning the technical, financial, and operational layers, RelyEZ transforms projects into predictable, multi-revenue assets. This is what makes the company resilient even in turbulent times – tariffs, supply chain disruptions, or policy shifts.

Why Timing Matters

Global demand for storage is accelerating. The U.S. alone is forecasted to need tens of gigawatts of capacity by the end of the decade, driven by data center load, electrification, and grid reliability needs. For Uri, this creates a unique moment:

“Energy storage is no longer optional – it’s essential. The market is scaling fast, and RelyEZ is ready with bankable solutions. Partnering with us now means joining the growth of a company that is defining how energy storage becomes a financial asset class.”

Unlike many entrants chasing short-term opportunities, RelyEZ is building for longevity. With its bankability framework, investors can secure stable returns while utilities and developers gain confidence that assets will perform for decades.

The U.S. Strategy: Global Scale, Local Fit

RelyEZ’s U.S. market strategy combines global leadership with local alignment. Its solutions comply with U.S. standards, meet investor expectations, and adapt to regional project needs – from C/I to utility-scale.

Uri explained:

“We combine global best practices with U.S. compliance. From design to long-term O&M, we bring certainty to projects, ensuring they’re not only technically sound but also financially secure.”

This balance allows RelyEZ to serve as a bridge between global innovation and local execution.

The Depth of Full-Spectrum Energy Asset Management

Full-Spectrum Energy Asset Management is not a slogan – it is the foundation of RelyEZ’s resilience. It means projects are conceived, financed, insured, operated, and optimized under a single framework.

This model enables:

• Predictable returns through multi-revenue market participation (frequency regulation, capacity markets, trading)

• Operational stability through predictive maintenance and AI-driven monitoring

• Risk reduction by integrating financing, insurance, and technology into one package

Uri emphasized:

“Even in the face of tariffs or policy uncertainty, our model keeps assets profitable. It’s about making energy storage as investable as traditional real estate.”

Looking Ahead

RelyEZ’s vision extends far beyond project delivery. It is about reshaping how storage is valued – moving it from a cost line item to an asset class in its own right. The company’s “three-car strategy” – leading in project development, construction, and long-term operation/trading – is already showing results across global markets, and the U.S. is its next major frontier.

As RE+ 2025 made clear, the companies that will define the next decade are not those who can simply build batteries, but those who can turn gigawatts into financial assets.

RelyEZ is already doing that – proving that storage is not just technology, but the real estate of the energy era.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2025 / SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) just signed a Letter of Intent with BT-Systems’ Competence Center REDWAVE, and the message is as sharp as it gets: conveyor belts are about to stop moving waste and start minting value.

This is not another recycling press release about bottles, bins, and municipal feel-good projects. This is about embedding proof into every piece of plastic and attaching real economic weight to every cycle of reuse. SMX has the molecular magic, REDWAVE has the high-speed muscle, and together they are turning recycling into the next great industrial play.

Here is the trick. SMX can tag materials at the sub-molecular level with invisible markers that cannot be forged or faked. Those markers link directly to a blockchain-backed digital passport that follows the plastic everywhere it goes. No more paperwork, no more trust-me certifications. Proof becomes inseparable from the product itself.

A Bold One-Two Recycling Punch

REDWAVE’s platforms are already the backbone of sorting lines around the world. Their machines separate waste streams at lightning speed. But until now, those streams often left the plant with a question mark stamped on them. Mix-ups, mislabels, and greenwashing have all thrived in the gaps. By integrating SMX’s markers into REDWAVE’s systems, items sliding across a belt can now be detected, sorted, and certified in one motion. The result is not questionable bales of recycled plastic. The result is certified commodities, as tradable and tangible as copper or steel.

And this is where things get even more interesting. Once those materials are verified, SMX’s Plastic Cycle Token (PCT) takes the baton. Certified recycled plastic is no longer just inventory. It becomes a digital asset that can be monetized and traded. Governments get enforcement tools with financial teeth. Companies gain pricing power. Stakeholders get exposure to an entirely new asset class built on the circular economy. Waste turns into wealth, and the factory floor becomes a mint.

A Pivotal Step Forward for Recycling Verification

SMX called this partnership a pivotal step, and it is easy to see why. When you start talking about setting global standards for certified recycling, you are no longer tinkering with compliance. You are deciding how industries define value and how markets measure success. That is the kind of leverage industrial revolutions are built on.

REDWAVE’s machines have always been about efficiency. Now, with SMX’s molecular traceability layered in, efficiency becomes trust. And trust is what finally makes circularity bankable.

The LOI sets the path forward: joint deployments, integrated systems, and benchmarks that other regions will be forced to recognize. If anyone doubts where this is heading, just look at Singapore. Its plastics passport initiative with SMX started as a pilot and quickly became a national model. Europe is now preparing to follow suit, with REDWAVE as the industrial partner on the ground.

Recycling has waited a long time to graduate from side hustle to main stage. With this planned partnership, it finally has its ticket. Conveyor belts will no longer just be shuttling waste from pile to pile. They will deliver certified, traceable, tradable commodities. That is not recycling as an afterthought. That is recycling as the next global market.

About SMX

As global businesses face new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy.

PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2025 / TruMerit, a global leader in healthcare workforce development, today launched two new global credentials for healthcare workers specializing in rehabilitation, habilitation, and restorative care.

The Certified Global Health Worker-Rehabilitation (CGHW-R) and the Certified Global Health Worker-Rehabilitation Advanced (CGHW-RA) have been developed specifically for eligible health workers worldwide who wish to have their applied experience and competencies in rehab care recognized and verified by passing a certification examination. These credentials, along with the Certified Global Nurse-Rehabilitation (CGN-R) that TruMerit established last year, are intended to advance and improve services for the more than two billion people worldwide who need this care.

The CGHW-RA credential was developed for those with a degree or diploma in a rehabilitation field. These include clinicians, educators, and instructors with physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech language pathology, or other rehab-related specializations.

The CGHW-R credential was designed for those who have rehab health experience but have not completed post-secondary education in an area of rehab specialization. These would include technicians, assistive personnel, nursing assistants, and home or community health aides working in rehabilitation, habilitation, and restorative care settings.

In addition to education and degree requirements, candidates for these credentials must have at least two years of work experience in a rehabilitation, habilitation, or restorative care setting during the last five years. Upon verification of their credentials by TruMerit, they must pass a proctored exam that is offered at more than 1,000 test centers worldwide.

In 2019, CARF International, a non-profit organization that accredits rehabilitation care providers worldwide, alerted TruMerit (known then as CGFNS International) about the growing demand for validating practice competence of the rehabilitation health workforce and raising standards across the care continuum. TruMerit and rehabilitation experts from across the world began the process to create exam-based global certifications for healthcare professionals working in rehabilitation, habilitation, and restorative care settings. The process has included more than 200 subject matter experts from 45 countries from all world regions and income levels.

“Caring for the huge and growing population of persons living with a disability is one of the most pressing issues facing healthcare today. By validating the knowledge and skills of those who devote their careers to providing this care, global credentials will help drive efforts to expand and equip this vital workforce to meet the challenges of the future. We are grateful to the global team of rehab care experts who helped make these credentials possible,” said Julia To Dutka, Chief of TruMerit’s Global Health Workforce Development Institute, which is leading the initiative.

View more information on TruMerit’s global rehab certification program.

Additionally, last month TruMerit unveiled its Certified Global Nurse (CGN) credential for first-level, general nurses (RNs), along with a reinvented Nurse Qualifying Exam.

About TruMerit
TruMerit is a worldwide leader in healthcare workforce development. Formerly known as CGFNS International, the organization has a nearly 50-year history supporting the career mobility of nurses and other healthcare workers-and those who license and hire them-by validating their education, skills, and experience as they seek authorization to practice in the United States and other countries. As TruMerit, this mission has been expanded to building workforce capacity that meets the needs of people in a rapidly evolving global health landscape. Through its Global Health Workforce Development Institute, the organization is advancing evidence-based research, thought leadership, and advocacy in support of healthcare workforce development solutions, including globally recognized practice standards and certifications that will enhance career pathways for healthcare workers.

HOUSTON, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2025 / Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. (NASDAQ:EVTV) (the “Company” or “Envirotech Vehicles”), a leader in advanced transportation and defense innovation, today announced, together with its wholly owned subsidiary Maddox Industries, LLC (“Maddox Industries”), a Company historic milestone: the delivery of over 5 million isolation gowns manufactured for the U.S. government, as part of a contract totaling 35 million gowns (the “Gown Contract”). With 19 months remaining on the Gown Contract, the Company expects that the program will be extended, further strengthening America’s supply chain security.

Operating from an 86,088 square foot facility in Houston, Texas, supported by 148 American employees, Envirotech Vehicles has met every gown delivery deadline under the Gown Contract on time and without a single rejected unit – proving the strength of U.S. manufacturing when focused on federal infrastructure needs.

This effort is more than personal protective equipment. Envirotech Vehicles and Maddox Industries are building the backbone of American infrastructure, expanding U.S.-made solutions in drones and electric vehicles to serve the needs of the U.S. government, defense, and critical infrastructure programs. By manufacturing these products domestically, the Company is reshoring production, creating American jobs, and reducing reliance on China.

“Delivering 5 million gowns on the way to 35 million is a massive achievement for our workforce,” said Elgin Tracy, Chief Operating Officer of Envirotech Vehicles. “With Maddox Industries as a wholly owned subsidiary of Envirotech Vehicles, we have complete control of our supply chain. This milestone proves that U.S. companies can deliver at scale while driving forward the future of drones and electric vehicles- all built in America for America.”

Envirotech Vehicles remains committed to expanding its U.S. production capacity, fulfilling federal needs with excellence, and leading a new era of American-made competitiveness.
