The two companies’ joint venture in Indiana is dead, but Samsung SDI still wants to build batteries there.

Samsung SDI said Tuesday it has signed an agreement with General Motors (GM) to jointly develop next-generation prismatic battery cells for potential use in future electric vehicles (EV). Under the agreement, the two companies will codevelop prismatic batteries designed to offer high energy density and fast-charging capabilities, extending their partnership in EV development. As part of the deal, Samsung SDI also acquired GM’s 49.99 percent stake in SynergyCells, a joint venture the two companies established in the U.S. state of Indiana. The ownership change reflects shifts in the battery market since the joint venture was announced, including slower-than-expected growth in EV demand. The two companies have decided to pursue other forms of cooperation rather than continue operating the business as a joint venture. With the acquisition, Samsung SDI will secure its first independently operated battery production base in North America. The company plans to use the facility to produce

HD Hyundai Oilbank has developed Korea’s first engine oil specifically designed for hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles (HICEV), targeting the growing lubricant market for hydrogen-powered mobility, the refiner said Tuesday. The company recently began supplying its XTeer H2-ICE engine oil specifically developed for HICEVs, to hydrogen commercial vehicle manufacturers including Tata Daewoo. HD Hyundai Oilbank started developing lubricant technology for HICEVs in 2023 and completed product development and performance verification using its proprietary technologies last year. HICEVs operate at higher combustion temperatures than conventional internal combustion engines. Moisture generated during combustion can accelerate engine wear and degrade oil performance. Reflecting on these characteristics, HD Hyundai Oilbank independently developed three core technologies: engine protection, moisture control and suppression of deposits generated during combustion. The hydrogen-focused

arXiv:2608.06535v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) have many applications, ranging from simple thermostat systems to autonomous driving systems and medical devices. Like all systems, they need to function correctly. To this end, validation techniques such as testing that can effectively reveal faults are required. Also, CPSs usually operate in uncertain environments where various expected/unexpected events can affect their behaviors. These events together with timing and synchronization incidents may result in various/different CPS behaviors and may cause a CPS to pass a test under some conditions and fail it under others. Such test cases are called ``flaky'' test cases and we call the conditions that are responsible for them ``flaky conditions'' and call these behaviors ``flaky behaviors''. When test cases are flaky, testing results are unreliable. To achieve more reliable test results, engineers may attempt to recognize flaky test cases and remove them. In
