AEE is a major player in the already booming Asian and European markets, with revenues topping $55 million in 2014. Now, AEE hopes to conquer the North American markets and win a place in the backpacks of adventurers and casual users alike.

Built for the adventurer in mind, the S71T Plus also syncs to a coordinating iOS or Android app to remotely control the device from up to 300 feet via Wi-Fi. The S71T Plus is waterproof up to 328"/100 meters with the waterproof housing, while the GoPro is only 131"/40 meters. The camera also uses a Micro SD 64GBs and is Windows XP SP2/Vista/Win 7 or above and Mac OS compatible.

Features include:

    --  High resolution 4k
    --  Battery life up to 270 minutes for audio recording, 150 minutes for
        video recording

Drayson Technologies Unveils Breakthrough RF Energy Harvester: Freevolt(TM)

LONDON, September 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Today Lord Drayson, CEO and Chairman of Drayson Technologies
[http://www.draysontechnologies.com ] introduced Freevolt(TM) [http://www.getfreevolt.com ]
: a revolutionary energy harvesting technology that turns ambient radio frequency waves
(RF) into usable electricity to charge low power electronic devices.

         (Photo:

         (Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150929/272058 )

    The patented[1] technology was developed by an international team from Drayson
Technologies and Imperial College London. Drayson Technologies is the first to market with
this technology, which as of today, is commercially available for license to the
international developer and business communities.

    "Companies have been researching how to harvest energy from WiFi, cellular and
broadcast networks for many years," says Lord Drayson. "But it is difficult, because there
is only a small amount of energy to harvest and achieving the right level of rectifying
efficiency has been the issue - up until now. 

    "With Freevolt, we have created something special. For the first time, we have solved
the problem of harvesting usable energy from a small RF signal." 

    The Freevolt harvester comprises a multi-band antenna and rectifier, which is capable
of absorbing energy from multiple RF bands at almost any orientation.

    The small, lightweight design is scalable and suitable for a range of uses, from the
ever expanding low-power Internet of Things, such as wearables, sensors and beacons, to
built environments, with the potential to integrate Freevolt into the fabric of urban and
industrial architecture.

    The first commercial application of Freevolt technology is the CleanSpace
[https://our.clean.space ](TM) Tag air sensor, which is currently being manufactured in
the UK and is available for purchase as of today [http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/cleanspace
]. This technology creates a crowd-sourced network of personal air sensors, initially
across the UK and then expanding to major cities across the world, which will all be
powered by Freevolt.

    Lord Drayson expands: "Whether we live in a big city or an increasingly urbanised area
in the developing world, radio frequency waves are being generated all around us, at
different levels, all the time. Some of this wireless energy goes unused. At Drayson
Technologies, we've figured out a way to make it useful. We call it Freevolt."

    Frazer Bennett, technology expert, PA Consulting Group said: "PA is delighted to have
worked with Drayson Technologies. We had the opportunity to draw on our expertise in IT,
product development and software applications to co-develop the CleanSpace Tag. We were
impressed with the Freevolt technology and its wide applicability to power the internet of
things and look forward to continuing the collaboration between PA and Drayson
Technologies to commercialise and support the future of Freevolt."

    David Helms, Chief Product Officer, Radius Networks said: "Radius Networks is always
looking for ways to reduce the cost of powering devices over the lifetime of our
deployments. Freevolt offers us the promise to power devices perpetually so we are
actively looking for ways to exploit this technology."

    A spokesperson for Foster & Partners said:  "Freevolt is an exceptional innovation
that has the potential to power millions of low energy devices.  Here at Foster & Partners
we are excited to be one of the first organisations to be working with Drayson
Technologies to visualise radio frequency harvesting and explore the ways in which
Freevolt will help to power technologies that will enable buildings to become
intrinsically more intelligent".

Charmed Labs Announces Smart Vision Sensor for LEGO Mindstorms

New version of popular Pixy camera brings object tracking capability to LEGO robot builders

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Charmed Labs announced a new version of their popular Pixy camera, which provides affordable object tracking capability to robot builders around the world. Thousands of Pixy cameras have been sold worldwide since its successful Kickstarter debut in early 2014. The new version of Pixy connects directly to LEGO Mindstorms controllers and integrates seamlessly into the LEGO programming environment.

Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150929/271826

Unlike most cameras, Pixy handles all image processing on-board, freeing up the host microcontroller for other tasks. You can quickly "teach" Pixy to detect new objects with the press of a button.  The built-in firmware is capable of detecting and tracking hundreds of objects simultaneously.

The standard version of Pixy supports a wide variety of microcontrollers, including the popular Arduino platform as well as Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black. Pixy LEGO connects directly to LEGO Mindstorms EV3 and NXT robot controllers with the supplied cable.  Fasteners are included that make integrating Pixy with LEGO parts simple.

"You often want your LEGO robot to do something like chase a ball or pick up an object," said Charmed Labs President Rich LeGrand, "but that's very difficult without the right sensor.  Pixy allows your robot to accomplish these kinds of tasks because it can see objects in the environment."

Charmed Labs released a video that demonstrates many of Pixy LEGO's capabilities:

Turtle Beach Corporation Announces HyperSound Clear(TM) Partnership With Beltone New England

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Turtle Beach Corporation (NASDAQ: HEAR), the leading-edge audio technology company, today announced a new partnership with Beltone New England for HyperSound Clear(TM). An established hearing healthcare leader committed to developing advanced technology, focusing on patient needs, and enhancing the hearing care experience, Beltone New England will carry Turtle Beach's all-new, groundbreaking hearing healthcare product in their locations across the east coast when it becomes available. Planned to launch this fall, HyperSound Clear is a first-of-its-kind, gateway product for the hearing healthcare market, and has been shown to significantly improve sound clarity and speech intelligibility for people with hearing loss for a better home entertainment listening experience.

"We're absolutely thrilled Beltone New England has joined with us to carry HyperSound Clear, said Rodney Schutt, SVP and General Manager for the HyperSound business at Turtle Beach Corporation. "We're getting prepared to launch this product that we believe will significantly improve the quality of life for people with hearing loss, and having a well-known, industry leading company like Beltone on-board will ensure HyperSound Clear is an available option to a much wider audience of people suffering from hearing loss."

"HyperSound Clear's ability to direct a focused beam of audio toward a specific person is simply amazing," said Michael Andreozzi, CEO, Beltone New England. "The sound quality and ability to program a person's specific hearing profile into the system makes it truly a unique offering for people with hearing loss. As someone with hearing loss, I 've personally experienced the enhanced hearing environment HyperSound Clear creates, and we are so happy to be able to carry it in our 120 office locations up and down the east coast."

Andreozzi continued, "Our Beltone patients will love this system to compliment the hearing aids they presently wear. Additionally, what's even more intriguing is HyperSound Clear's potential to get people to address their hearing loss earlier in life. We see this as a great gateway product for someone who may be just starting to lose their hearing but isn't quite yet ready to wear hearing aids, to hear and understand the TV again, and that's a very welcome addition to our product lineup."

HyperSound Clear is Turtle Beach's first-of-its-kind directed audio solution for individuals with hearing loss. HyperSound(®) technology is a fundamentally new approach to sound delivery that generates a highly directional, narrow beam of audio in the air, much like the way a flashlight directs a beam of light. HyperSound Clear works in parallel with the audio from the TV or home theater system, so when the person with hearing loss is sitting in the HyperSound beam, they experience immersive, 3D audio, while everyone else in the same room hears audio from the TV speakers or home theater system at a normal volume level. This means that people with hearing loss, along with family members and friends, can once again return to the family room to enjoy the latest home entertainment.

New Forest Communications Announces That Just Over 200 Orion Gateways Have Now Been Installed in the UK

LONDON, September 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Did you know there is an entirely new data network rolling out across the UK? 

    The Orion Data Network [http://oriondatanetwork.com ] is a UK designed and built
solution from New Forest Communications (NFC Group). Why does the UK need another data
network? Well, for a start, using this network is very low cost. In fact, for the most
part, using the Orion Data Network is entirely free for small organisations. To use the
network, you just need some hardware which is mostly plug and play as well as being very
inexpensive. There is also some free software to get users up and running quickly. The
solutions are available today and since any user can add their own base station (called an
Orion Gateway) into the network, local coverage is guaranteed. Coverage can range anywhere
from half a mile up to thirteen miles depending on the surrounding environment.

         (Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150930/272301-INFO )

    Devices that send data over the network are called 'Orion tags'. Tags are tiny and
with a small battery can provide real time information for years on a single charge
(depending on battery size) reporting every two minutes when stationary or every thirty
seconds when in motion. Tags also provide switched inputs for use as signalling devices
and can adapt to a multitude of applications.

    Tags can be fitted to almost anything, from Rhinos - check out Puppies to Protectors
on Indiegogo here [https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/puppies-to-protectors#/story ] -
through to pieces of plant and machinery. Someone one once said that it would be worth
tracking everything if it were cheap enough. Well, now it is!

    "The Orion Network is officially launching today in the UK, although there are already
a large number of customers and we have been tweaking things for some time." said the CEO,
Matt Walker. "Orion practically sells itself as a concept the only question is how quickly
we can get the network coverage rolled out in the UK? I think 200 gateways, represents
probably 40% of the basic network but I would like to see a couple of thousand gateways
out there to compete effectively with the big boys."

    About New Forest Communications Limited:

    NFC designs, builds and deploys battery powered wireless technology for real-time data
communications [http://www.oriondatanetwork.com ] over it's privately owned Orion Data
Network. Around 60,000 devices where produced last year alone. The company is ranked on
page one of Google for over 250 related search terms, a part of the UKTI, winners of UKTI
TMTC UK SMEs contest, and joint winners of the Glasgow smart city award 2013.

    The Orion Data Network is licence free and is used for real time data analytics and
asset [http://www.tracks360.com ] tracking [http://www.tracks360.com ] anywhere in the
world.

DUBAI, UAE, September 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    There seems to be no limit to what we can do with smartphones these days. Smartphones
and apps have been transforming our daily lives as we use them to find our way, plan our
day, buy clothes, pay bills, manage our expenses, book our flights and hotels, read our
medical reports, stay in touch with friends, or find the nearest sushi place recommended
by locals. This transformation has also impacted the way businesses and enterprises
deliver their products and services. For instance, it is common nowadays to submit an
insurance claim, deposit a check, or scan and sign a document using a mobile phone. This
is made possible through mobile capture technology.

    NVSSoft, a leading provider of information management solutions in the region, makes
its presence for the 13th time in Gitex with the announcement of its latest product
ArcMate Mobile, which is an enterprise mobile application that extends the capture of
information beyond traditional scanners into capture at the point of entry to accelerate
transactions and improve customer service. The platform would enable insurance companies
for example to receive claims, and banks to receive check deposits and new account
applications, and enterprises to receive expense claims and documents generated remotely.

    ArcMate Mobile comes as an integral part of the ArcMate Suite from NVSSoft which has
come of age, featuring ECM and BPM solutions such as ArcMate Capture, ArcMate Enterprise,
and ArcMate EZIFlow. The ArcMate Suite is also the platform for vertical solutions such as
MedLogic eHIM for the healthcare industry, and Tarasol for correspondence management in
government agencies.

    This year at Gitex, the region's leading tech exhibition, NVSSoft has teamed up with
its strategic partner Kodak Alaris to focus on MedLogic eHIM, the healthcare solution that
enables hospitals to go completely paperless, and PractiScan, a jointly offered solution
which provides intelligent scanning and capturing for points of sale and customer service
designed to reduce costs and human error.

    NVSSoft has also teamed up with its strategic partner Fujitsu to present ECM solutions
such as ArcMate Capture, which is an enterprise-level, distributed document capturing
solution fit for both high volume backlog conversion as well as on-going scanning.

    Enterprises, healthcare establishments, and government agencies in the region have
been seeing an accelerated growth in operations, yet at the same time they are challenged
with outdated and fragmented infrastructures for managing information. This is where
NVSSoft can help by providing total cost-effective solutions for information management
that cater to the region's unique requirements, and support the Arabic language inside and
out.

    You can find NVSSoft's pods this Gitex at Kodak Alaris in Hall 4, Stand # B4-3, and at

Honeywell's Navigation, Aircraft Taxiing Technologies Help Tackle Climate Challenges

Air Transport Action Group recognizes Honeywell Aerospace technologies for supporting the aviation industry's goal of reducing CO2 emissions in half by 2050

GENEVA, Sept. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell Aerospace's (NYSE: HON) SmartPath(®) Ground-Based Augmentation System and EGTS(TM) electric taxiing system technologies have been recognized by the Air Transport Action Group as solutions that can help support the aviation industry's goal to reduce CO2 emissions from 2005 in half by 2050. The two technologies were included in the Aviation Climate Solutions report, a collection of 100 examples of how the aviation industry is collaborating to cut carbon dioxide emissions and help reduce its impact on climate change, released at the Global Sustainable Aviation Summit in Geneva, Switzerland.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150929/272164

"We are committed to helping the aviation industry reduce its effect on climate change and are continuing to develop innovative technologies that pave the way for cleaner air travel," said Aileen M. McDowall, vice president, Air Transport and Regional, Europe, Middle East, Africa and India, Honeywell Aerospace. "EGTS electric taxiing system and SmartPath Ground-Based Augmentation System (GBAS) are two game-changing technologies that can help the industry reduce emissions and improve air traffic management."

"The aviation industry has proactively taken a lead reducing the impact of climate change, putting in place a framework of goals to reduce emissions from air transport," said Michael Gill, executive director of the Air Transport Action Group. "Through our case studies, it is evident how different parts of the industry globally, including Honeywell, are working together to support a greener environment."

About SmartPath
Honeywell's SmartPath GBAS system augments GPS signals so they can be used for precision navigation in the approach and landing phases of flight. The flexibility provided by GBAS may produce a significant reduction of carbon emissions, increase airport capacity, decrease air traffic noise, reduce weather-related delays, and reduce operating costs for aircraft operators and air navigation service providers. The project is a component of the Federal Aviation Administration's Next Generation Air Transportation System and changes today's  ground-based air navigation system to a much more efficient satellite-based navigation system that uses the same GPS technology used in cars today.

The Aviation Climate Solutions report was released at the Global Sustainable Aviation Summit in Geneva, Switzerland, to reaffirm the industry's commitment to climate action, and calls on governments to support it with the development of a global market-based measure for aviation emissions, improved efficiency in air traffic management, and accelerating research for alternative fuels and new technology.

About EGTS
The EGTS electric taxiing system, developed by Honeywell and Safran, enables aircraft to avoid using their main engines during taxiing and instead taxi autonomously under their own electrical power. Similar to a hybrid car using electrical power at slow speeds, EGTS will improve airline operating efficiency during taxi operations and cut fuel consumption by up to 4 percent per flight cycle. EGTS will reduce noise, eliminate up to 61 percent of carbon dioxide and up to 51 percent of nitrogen oxide emissions during taxi operations, and relieve apron area congestion. It also will improve on-time departure, and allow passengers to deplane faster as a result of smoother ground handling operations.

Teledyne LeCroy Announces Protocol Exerciser for PCI Express® 4.0 Technology

Traffic Generation and Analysis for PCIe® 4.0 at Data Rates up to 16 GT/s

SHANGHAI, Sept. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PCI-SIG DevCon -- Teledyne LeCroy, the worldwide leader in protocol test solutions, today announced its new PCI Express (PCIe) protocol exerciser/analyzer for testing PCI Express 4.0 designs and products.  The Summit(TM) Z416 exerciser/analyzer addresses the needs of PCI Express developers by providing high performance 16 GT/s traffic generation on devices with link widths up to 16 lanes. In addition to traffic generation, protocol analysis featuring Teledyne LeCroy's industry-standard CATC Trace((TM)) and other traffic displays and data reports are available.  The Summit Z416 supports exerciser functions that can be used for traffic generation and device/host emulation, as well as providing the industry a platform for development of standardized compliance test suites.  Additionally, the Summit Z416 support error injection functions to enable developers to test error recovery routines important to reliable interoperability of PCIe 4.0 products.  Along with the Summit Z416 Exerciser/analyzer, a new PCIe 4.0 test platform, PCIe 4.0 verification load board (VLB) and PCIe 4.0 verification base board (VBB) will be released to form a complete suite of protocol test tools for all developers working on or interested in PCI Express 4.0 products.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150929/271857

"Designers implementing the PCIe 4.0 specification's fast 16 GT/s data rates in high-performance enterprise systems require a full-featured protocol test system," said Scott Knowlton, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Synopsys. "The combination of Synopsys' DesignWare® IP for PCIe 4.0 and test systems like Teledyne LeCroy's Summit Z416 enable our mutual customers to design their SoCs more efficiently, analyze and test their silicon thoroughly and bring their solutions to the market quickly."

Protocol analyzers and exercisers are key tools to help driver and firmware developers understand serial data communication between their devices and systems. The Summit Z416 features a unified single application that incorporates traffic generation and protocol analysis. A protocol exerciser is an important part of protocol development and specification corner case testing. It provides realistic traffic to devices under test and can also emulate complex host- or device-side traffic while the protocol analyzer acquires, records, decodes, analyzes and displays complex high-speed PCI Express I/O streams.  Users will have access to analysis and reporting capabilities that are highly utilized in the PCIe industry.  When analyzers and exercisers are used together developers can create powerful script level traffic and monitor the results of all tests.

"Growing enterprises and data centers will need the higher I/O performance that PCIe 4.0 has to offer. Products that take advantage of high-performance computing, Web 2.0, cloud and data analytics applications will need this technology to be successful," said  Alon Webman, Vice President of Silicon Engineering,  Mellanox Technologies. "The effort and expertise is monumental to design and test products based on this new technology. Teledyne LeCroy's commitment to enabling the industry with PCI Express 4.0 protocol exercisers and analyzers will help provide early adopters the necessary tools they will need going forward."

The Summit Z416 will allow developers to work on bringing up LTSSM and dynamic equalization structures during the early power-on phase of development.  Features addressing this include providing bus traffic to emulate the beginning Polling and Detect states, through the equalization phases to the final link up at the L0 state and maintaining the L0 state between the host and device.  Automatic skip generation is provided and received packets will be ACKed.  The exerciser will support lane reversal and control polarity and scrambling.  An important feature to note is that traffic emulation supports not only dynamic equalization but also Skip EQ training in order to handle full autonomous speed switch between all combinations of speeds.  The exerciser also has the capability to perform error injection on either a packet or per lane basis.

Along with the Summit Z416 Teledyne LeCroy is also releasing a Gen4 Test Platform that is a two CEM-socket backplane capable of supporting 16 GT/s bus transactions for testing CEM form factor devices with the Gen4 test platform.  Two test fixtures are being made available to help with testing PCIe 4.0 devices: a PCI Express Verification Load Board (VLB) for testing PCI Express platforms, and the PCI Express Validation Base Board (VBB) for testing PCI Express Add-in Cards.  Each of these test tools will aid developers in electrical test, functional verification, interoperability and performance testing for PCIe 4.0 products.

"We are very pleased to announce our PCI Express 4.0 development tools. The Summit Z416, Test Platform, VLB, and VBB will be useful to early adopters of the PCIe 4.0 specification," said John Wiedemeier, Product Marketing Manager, Teledyne LeCroy's PCI Express Group.  "Companies who develop servers, networks, storage systems and solid state drives (SSDs) will find these tools essential to ensure design performance."

Teledyne LeCroy protocol analyzers and exercisers have been at the forefront of PCI Express development working closely with the computer industry over the last decade to provide the analysis features companies have needed for PCIe storage and IoT technology development.  All Teledyne LeCroy protocol analysis and test products feature a hierarchical display, real-time statistics, protocol traffic summaries, detailed error reports, powerful scripting, and the ability to create user-defined test reports, which allow developers to troubleshoot intricate problems and finish their projects on time.  Users of Teledyne LeCroy systems appreciate the rich library of decodes and analysis capabilities that are available on all of Teledyne LeCroy's PCIe test tools.

"Teledyne LeCroy will continue to lead the industry in protocol test support for the PCI Express architecture.  The PCIe 4.0 specification is an important technology to which we committed our resources to enable us to deliver timely high quality development tools to the industry," said Joe Mendolia, Vice President of Marketing, Protocol Solutions Group, Teledyne LeCroy.  "Our goal is to provide development, debug and validation tools when our customers need them and enhance them according to our customers' needs and requirements moving forward."

Defy Media And 360fly Partner To Introduce Interactive 360-Degree Video And Virtual Reality Content Platform On Break.com

Partnership Will Allow Viewers to Experience Original 360-Degree Content as well as Upload User Generated 360-Degree, Virtual Reality Content

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- DEFY Media, the top digital producer and programmer for 13-34 year olds, and 360fly, the world's only single-lens camera capturing stitchless 360-degree video with interactive and virtual reality viewing capabilities, today announced a partnership through which 360fly will provide DEFY's top humor brand Break the ability to offer a fully interactive 360-degree and virtual reality video content experience on the popular video sharing website.  Powered by 360fly's proprietary platform and technology, Break.com will feature interactive 360-degree video content, 360-content uploaded by Break.com users, and 360fly original productions. 360fly users will be able to shoot, edit and upload to the site within minutes, directly from their mobile device.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150929/271954

DEFY plans to debut the platform on Break.com in early October in conjunction with 360fly's retail launch at Best Buy. The company will also look to launch the 360fly platform across other DEFY brand channels in the coming year, as well as leveraging 360fly digital products for its original studio production and programming.

360fly's interactive 360-degree video player technology provides viewers a 360 x 240-degree field of view. Viewers can literally immerse themselves within the video through touch-screen technology, clicking, dragging or swiping on any mobile device, as well as through motion-sensor technology by which the movement of the device itself controls the interactive experience of the video. With desktops and laptops, this interactivity is achieved through the use of the mouse, clicking and dragging the video to see and experience different vantage points within the larger 360 x 240-degree field of view.

"The introduction of interactive 360-degree video is truly a game-changer, opening the door to an entirely new universe of innovative interactive and virtual reality content experiences for our viewers and internal content creators," said Keith Richman, President of DEFY Media. "The widespread retail availability of affordable 360-video cameras like 360fly and the advent of virtual reality viewing devices such as Google Cardboard will propel mainstream level of production and consumption of virtual reality content. This collaboration positions us perfectly for this dynamic evolution in how consumers experience and literally interact with video content and we're thrilled to bring it directly to our audience."

The collaboration is a valuable one for 360fly as it pushes forward in its mission to drive widespread mainstream acceptance, production and consumption of interactive 360-degree video, while also democratizing virtual reality through a platform that's dramatically more accessible and feasible for mainstream consumers.  To date, consumption of virtual reality has been a very costly proposition, requiring the use of much higher-priced equipment and limited to a small array of virtual reality content. In combination with affordable cardboard virtual reality goggles, 360fly is opening the door for consumers to produce, consume and share virtual reality experiences at a moment's notice.

"Affordable cameras and viewing devices are only part of the equation. The final piece is consumers having access to a robust ecosystem of destinations where they can readily consume a wide range of 360-degree virtual reality content," said Peter Adderton, CEO of 360fly. "Collaborations like this with DEFY and Break.com are invaluable to making virtual reality a common aspect of mainstream video consumption and personal entertainment."

Fujitsu Refreshes Mobile and Desktop Portfolio for the Enterprise

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

News facts:

    --  Latest technology improves employee productivity while also saving
        energy
    --  Minimized design shrinks PC footprint
    --  Innovative features such as Low Power Active Mode and embedded Fujitsu
        PalmSecure authentication enable enterprises to realize benefits from
        workplace transformation
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140618/119400

Fujitsu today shows that good things come in small packages, with the introduction of new and refreshed models to its enterprise desktop and mobile portfolio. Featuring workplace design that favors human needs over large and noisy technology requirements, the new models maximize user satisfaction and employee productivity thanks to smaller PC footprint, leading-edge security and the high performance of the 6(th) Generation Intel® Core(TM) processor family.

Jorg Hartmann, Vice President Global Client Computing Business, at Fujitsu Technology Solutions GmbH, says: "Today, technology must ultimately empower people to collaborate, to create knowledge and to enable businesses to communicate and engage with customers and partners via a 'workplace anywhere' approach that encourages agile and flexible working. The optimized technology underpinning Fujitsu's refreshed desktop and mobile portfolio delivers the highest levels of performance-boosting productivity, lowers Total Cost of Ownership and further cuts energy."

The FUJITSU Desktop ESPRIMO® line-up offers the sophisticated Low Power Active Mode function. This not only saves energy, but also enables companies to consider replacing desktop phones with more cost-effective unified communication and collaboration tools. It means that calls or messages can no longer be missed just because 'the computer was turned off': Fujitsu's innovative Low Power Active Mode puts new desktop PC models into a standby state similar to smartphones. The PC remains connected to the network - therefore continuing to receive messages and provide incoming call alerts.

ESPRIMO Mini PCs deliver power, flexibility and high level of security
With the latest-generation ESPRIMO Q Series, Fujitsu remains ahead of the trend in minimizing the workplace technology footprint - ensuring that PCs blend into the background in virtually any business environment. Back in 2006, Fujitsu was first enterprise PC manufacturer to start selling Mini PCs, and is now introducing the 8th generation model. Customers such as the German Federal Employment Agency (Bundesagentur fur Arbeit) rely on this Mini PC concept. They selected the predecessor model of the newESPRIMO Q as its standard PC.

Gunther Maas, User Service - IT Services Workplace Products, Bundesagentur fur Arbeit said: "Modern employment agency offices need to convey quiet professionalism in an approachable, often open-access environment, and the ESPRIMO Q enables us to do that. Thanks to its power, security features and flexibility, we are able to standardize on this PC in the back office as well as in our Internet Centres for use by job seekers - even for more computationally challenging roles such as IT development."

Restricting PC access to authorized users only is often a challenge in open-access environments such as retail, information desks at consumer banks, and open-plan offices. Fujitsu addresses this by offering the latest generation ESPRIMO Q956 with the unique embedded palm vein sensor - widely recognized as the most secure commercially available biometric authentication technology.

The new PC member from Fujitsu, ESPRIMO D, a compact 10-liter desktop PC, is ideal for a wide range of office applications, and replaces the outgoing ESPRIMO C and E series models. It provides power supplies of up to 94 percent efficiency, while reducing energy costs by up to 40 percent(1).

LIFEBOOK: The hallmark for continuity and stability in the enterprise
Fujitsu has also refreshed models in its LIFEBOOK® notebooks, focusing on delivering individual yet highly compatible mobile devices. Enterprises love LIFEBOOK E-series for their ease of manageability and simplified rollout - as these family models use common mainboard, BIOS, drivers and bit image. This ensures compatibility and means enterprises can save by standardizing on fewer master disk images for their corporate operating systems. With 'shared and co-working' environments now also on the rise, where co-workers share office space and resources, organizations also benefit from standardized accessory options such as the port replicator, and this reduced complexity helps lower the total cost of ownership.

The FUJITSU Notebook LIFEBOOK E7 series comprises three premium models (13.3-inch, 14.0-inch, 15.6-inch), each incorporating the latest 6(th) Generation Intel® Core(TM) processor family and DDR4 memory. Attractive and robust materials like aluminum and magnesium combine maximum durability with an attractive design.

The FUJITSU Notebook LIFEBOOK E5 series consists of two new models (14.0-inch, 15.6-inch), both with the latest 6(th) Generation Intel® Core(TM) processor family, DDR4 memory and 6-cell (72Wh) battery option.

Further extending the family concept, Fujitsu delivers ultimate flexibility by uniquely offering a broad range of upgrade options for the modular bay that is a hallmark of its LIFEBOOK models. Swappable components include a second battery (E7 only), Blu-ray(TM) drive (E7 only), a second hard disk drive, a DVD Super Multi drive, or a lightweight saver tray. The Fujitsu family Port Replicator is compatible with new models as well as previous generation LIFEBOOK E7 and LIFEBOOK E5, LIFEBOOK U745 Ultrabook(TM), LIFEBOOK T725 2 in 1, and the CELSIUS® H730 mobile workstation.

Pricing and availability
Fujitsu's refreshed portfolio of ESPRIMO and LIFEBOOK models are available globally from October 1, depending on product series. Prices and hardware options vary by region and configuration.

High Fidelity Uses SMI HMD Eye Tracking to Create Life-like VR Avatars

SAN FRANCISCO and TELTOW, Germany, September 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Open source VR network adds real eye movements to avatar animations using eye tracking
for Virtual Reality Headsets by SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI)

    Today, High Fidelity, Inc. [https://highfidelity.com ] and SensoMotoric Instruments
[http://www.smivision.com ] (SMI) announce the integration of SMI HMD Eye Tracking
technology with the High Fidelity social VR platform. Alpha users with access to the eye
tracking hardware, can experience real eye contact with another person on the platform's
virtual spaces. The animation is powered by SMI's unique and proven eye tracking upgrade
for the Oculus Rift DK2
[http://www.smivision.com/en/gaze-and-eye-tracking-systems/products/eye-tracking-hmd-upgrade.html ]
which is available for VR developers and researchers. VR creators are invited to
use the eye tracking integration to build life-like interaction scenarios and share them
on the High Fidelity open source VR network.

    Digital presences, e.g. through avatars in social VR, have to be life-like. Real-time
and realistic animation of the behavior that contains the critical cues for life-like
experiences is key to achieve the optimal impression. Correct gaze direction is one
critical factor that plays a major role in social interaction. SMI's eye tracking provides
this cue accurately, robust and in real-time. Eye tracking inside the Oculus Rift records
where exactly in the virtual scene a user is looking and enables people to make eye
contact with another avatar in a virtual space.

    SMI's eye tracking upgrade for the Oculus Rift DK2 is the only high-performance eye
tracking solution available and proven for VR applications. It is designed for
professional and academic developers and comes with plug-ins for popular VR engines, e.g.
Unity and WorldViz. It streams highly accurate 3D data such as gaze vector and eyeball
position and comes with a calibration-free user mode for quick and easy setup. A fully
automatic slip compensation allows users to move or take the headset on or off without
impact on data robustness.

    SMI also provides an OEM Eye Tracking Platform and reference designs for Virtual
Reality Headsets ready for pick up by HMD manufacturers. Besides new gaze interaction
experiences, adding eye tracking to VR hardware allows for optimized use of rendering
resources and personalized 3D presentation.

    High Fidelity is an open source virtual reality network. It uses a range of new
devices such as the Oculus Rift to make the VR experience more immersive and interaction
with others more life-like. The platform allows users to build complex interactive
experiences using standard formats, languages and tools and to deploy shared virtual
spaces to the network.

    Philip Rosedale, Inventor, Founder High Fidelity & Second Life: "We need life-like
avatars to convincingly recreate real-world interactions in VR such as talking, shaking
hands or looking at each other. The SMI Eye Tracking Upgrade for the Oculus Rift DK2 is
capable of fast, accurate tracking of the eye. At High Fidelity, we used this hardware to
add real eye movements to our avatars and the experience of making eye contact with
another person in a virtual space is remarkable."

    "SMI Eye Tracking technology is being used by renowned scientific institutes and
professional developers," says Christian Villwock, Director of SMI`s OEM Solutions
Business. "Our platform is based on a complex set of eye model algorithms derived from two
decades of experience in eye tracking for ophthalmology and eye surgery ensuring high
robustness and ease of use."

Slip the meticulously designed iPhone 6s or svelte iPhone 6s Plus into an OtterBox case as soon as it leaves the box so it stays pristine all year long. From the slimmest Symmetry Series to the rugged Defender Series, the full OtterBox case lineup for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus means there's something for everyone.(*)

"We know people who wait all night long to get the first feel of the latest iPhones don't want to cover them up," said OtterBox President and CEO Pete Lindgren. "Our goal is to keep the feel and user experience as close to the 'real thing' as possible. When you pull your new iPhone with 4K video and 3D Touch out of the box, you can cover it knowing trusted OtterBox protection works seamlessly with every feature and function."

Defender Series is the perfect companion for cautious techies that need extra layers of security. Triple-layer protection guards iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus from harm from almost any angle.

Commuter Series has double-layer protection for Apple lovers on the go. A slipcover and thin polycarbonate shell provides slim protection and offers custom color combinations on otterbox.com(.)

For those who want to keep iPhone as thin as possible, Symmetry Series complements the curves of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus with a variety of colors and graphics. Plus, the slim form is easy to slip into pockets and pull out to capture Live Photos at a moment's notice.

Folio-lovers can cover iPhone 6s in Strada Series, the slim, leather folio case with trusted OtterBox protection. In sleek black and burgundy, iPhone 6s wears a classic, tailored look with full folio screen protection.

Coming soon, techies who use iPhone 6s for every search, app, snap and tap can stay charged with Resurgence Power Case. The iPhone 6s power case offers military-rated drop protection in a slim, two-piece design that snaps around the device. With the press of a button, Resurgence charges iPhone 6s up to 100 percent, then stops. The auto-stop charge technology saves power for later, when it's needed most.

For the truest touchscreen experience, OtterBox offers Alpha Glass to stop scratches from reaching iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus' vibrant displays. Fortified to help avoid splintering, Alpha Glass applies flawlessly to the touchscreen, retains screen responsiveness and pairs perfectly with OtterBox Symmetry Series, Commuter Series, Resurgence Power Case and Strada Series cases.
