YSMART Launches Tipen Mini: The Tough Little Pen Built for Everyday Carry
Ultra–Compact, Ultra–CapableAt just 4.75 cm long, 0.8 cm wide, and weighing only 9 g, Tipen Mini is YSMART's smallest pen yet. Despite its size, it delivers big on performance. The Grade 5 titanium body offers a classic, timeless look and outstanding durability—resistant to scratches, dents, and corrosion.
The magnetic quick–release cap ensures instant, one–handed access. With a satisfying snap, users can remove the cap, jot a note, mark a box, score packaging, or even break glass in emergencies.
'Tipen Mini is designed to disappear on your keychain until the moment you need it,' says Lewis from YSMART. 'It's a tiny tool with a serious purpose—simple, strong, and always ready.'
More Than a PenTipen Mini's ceramic tip, rated 9.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, is built for more than paper. It writes smoothly on cardboard, tape, and other surfaces, and doubles as a scoring or light–prying tool. In a pinch, it can even shatter glass.
Each Tipen Mini is available in multiple laser–engraved finishes to match different styles and preferences:
Classic: Minimal and clean.
Codex: Inspired by ancient scripts and modern circuitry.
Gridlock: Bold geometric precision.
Chainmail: Interlocking patterns with extra grip.
A New Evolution in YSMART's LineupTipen Mini follows in the footsteps of YSMART's popular pens and tools, offering a more compact and refined design. While the previous P3N combined aerospace carbon fiber and titanium for a modern look, Tipen Mini embraces a full titanium build for a sleek, classic aesthetic—lighter, smaller, and even easier to carry.
Made Possible by the YSMART CommunityYSMART has built a reputation for delivering high–quality, innovative EDC products. Each project is developed with direct input from backers and enthusiasts worldwide. 'We're excited to invite our community to help bring Tipen Mini to life,' says Frank, the designer. 'Every campaign is a collaboration, and we can't wait to see Tipen Mini out in the world.'

These offers are available for a limited time only while supplies last.

MatchAwards Disrupts Traditional Affiliate Marketing with Dual-Token Commission Structure
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C., July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The MAPU Affiliate Program introduces a structured referral system offering fixed-rate rewards in USDC, USDT, and the MAPU token. Participants receive a 20% commission for each referral, while referees using the provided referral code are eligible for a 20% discount on purchases. The program is integrated with MatchAwards, a social media business platform designed to assist a diverse user base—including veterans, startups, small businesses, job seekers, and non-profits—in identifying contracts, grants, and loans from both U.S. government and private sector sources. With features such as digital advertising tools and a live services marketplace, MatchAwards supports operational activity that is linked to the utility of the MAPU token. 'We didn't launch a token and hope people would show up,' said Mike Noble, the COO at MatchAwards. 'We built a real platform first, signed up nearly 80,000 registered and active users, and now we're rewarding the community through the token economy. We're flipping the script.' The MAPU Affiliate Program incorporates secure wallet tracking and CRM tools to offer affiliates real-time insights into referral performance. Affiliates receive cryptocurrency payouts as referred users purchase tokens, while those using referral codes automatically receive purchase discounts. The program is structured to allow any referred user to become an affiliate referrer, facilitating a permissionless expansion model. In contrast to conventional affiliate models, the MAPU program emphasizes transparency and measurable user engagement. Its structure is designed to support actual platform activity rather than speculative participation.

Token holders can immediately use MAPU within the MatchAwards platform—for example, to fund advertising campaigns, access upcoming business intelligence packages (including NFTs), or unlock selected tools. The token's integration with platform services is presented as a reflection of its intended utility.

One Transporter, Two Critial Jobs: Align Production Systems Delivers Dual-Use SAV
Read the Full Case Study ST. LOUIS, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A leading North American metal stamping facility has partnered with Align Production Systems to solve a common challenge in metal stamping environments, transporting heavy steel coils and large stamping dies using a single piece of equipment. The result is a custom-built Semi-Autonomous Vehicle (SAV) that navigates independently using magnetic pucks embedded in the floor but requires an operator to activate a controller switch. The stamping facility needed to move coils of various sizes up to 72″ × 72″ and dies of various sizes up to 96″ × 190″—sometimes in the same shift. Traditionally, this would require two different machines, adding operational complexity and unnecessary cost. Align's engineering team developed a dual-purpose flatbed SAV using a V-cradle for coil support with vertical poles for coil stabilization and rail inserts to support die transport, allowing fast reconfiguration between load types. 'This design gives the customer flexibility to switch between coil and die transport quickly, without needing multiple machines,' said Rachel Larson, Mechanical Engineer at Align Production Systems. Built to handle up to 80,000 pounds, the SAV uses magnetic puck navigation embedded in the facility floor for semi-autonomous movement, guided by an operator using a handheld control switch. A lithium-ion battery powers the unit and includes Wi-Fi connectivity, onboard accessory storage for poles, and operator stairs, making it future-ready for full AGV upgrades. With the SAV now in operation, plant personnel can: Transport both coils and dies using one machine Change the deck quickly with modular accessories Load and unload safely using integrated stairs Lay the foundation for long-term AGV automation The project highlights Align's ability to engineer flexible, scalable equipment that evolves with manufacturers' production needs. About Align Production SystemsAlign Production Systems specializes in advanced material handling equipment for heavy industry. With decades of experience, Align designs and manufactures custom solutions—including AGVs, transporters, turntables, and lifting systems—to improve safety, increase efficiency, and support automation across a range of industrial applications.
