Low-Power and Ultra-Compact Sensor Enables Iris Detection in Both Portrait and Landscape Orientations

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- OmniVision Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a leading developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, today announced the OV2281, a new PureCel(®) sensor that brings enhanced biometric security functionality to mobile devices. The low-power, ultra-compact OV2281 leverages OmniVision's 1.12-micron pixel technology and optimized IR sensitivity.  Its advanced capabilities can enable accurate and reliable iris recognition for smartphones, tablets and notebooks, in both landscape and portrait orientations.

"With the convergence of digital identities, security concerns and mobile commerce, industry experts project that 13 billion biometric applications will be downloaded by 2.2 billion mobile users between 2014 and 2020,[1]" said Archie de Guzman, staff product manager at OmniVision. "In this context, iris detection appears poised to become the next trend in biometric security for mobile devices.  The OV2281 therefore enters the market as an extremely compelling solution by offering accurate horizontal or vertical iris detection in a compact and power-efficient package."

The 1/7.5-inch OV2281 PureCel sensor can record 1080p high-definition video at 60 frames per second (FPS) in both portrait and landscape orientation, thus supporting iris detection in either situation. When recording full-resolution 1920 x 1920 video at 30 FPS, the sensor requires just 120 mW. It also supports an ultra-low power mode that can reduce power consumption to approximately 25 mW. As a monochrome sensor, the OV2281 boasts exceptional IR sensitivity.  This sensitivity allows it to produce clear and fully stable images in difficult low-light conditions.

The sensor fits into a 5.5 x 5.5 mm module with a z-height of less than 4.5 mm. The OV2281 is currently in volume production.

Vindai announces super-battery technology that will allow mobile devices to be charged in 15 seconds or less

NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Good Vibrations Shoes, Inc.  (OTCPink: GVSI) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Vindai Corporation, is developing a super-battery for its body cameras that is also applicable to any mobile device and will allow devices to be fully charged in 15 seconds, and stay charged on average for 24 hours!

One of the problems plaguing body cams today is the same problem we have with all mobile devices, short battery life, and long charge times, but Vindai's "Super-battery" could change it all. Although the company cannot disclose specific technical details of the technology, or what group or government agency it was developed in conjunction with, if any, the company does confirm that Vindai is the sole owner of the technology and several related patents are being worked on.

When released, Vindai's super-batteries should fit inside any mobile device just like the batteries used currently. However, the super-battery consists of different parts, including a micro-charging bank that uses super-capacitor technology and a high efficiency lithium-ion battery. When a super-battery equipped device is plugged into an electrical outlet, the power is sucked up at lightning speed, and stored in the super-capacitor charging bank, which then charges the inline battery that accompanies it. The device behaves as though it is plugged into an electrical outlet while in self-charge mode and then the normal battery is used once it is fully charged. This cycle can take place several times, so It's basically like taking an electrical outlet with you, inside your device. These technologies together can therefore not only shorten charge time dramatically, they have the same effect as tripling or quadrupling the average battery life.

Vindai feels this technology is a critical step to making body cameras a truly viable option for the detection and prevention of police abuses because for the cameras to work effectively, they must be turned on and recording at all times without officer intervention, and without the ability to be turned off. Therefore, the device must remain charged for 12 to 14 hours to last an entire shift. External battery packs can be used, but they add weight and wires, which can be pulled out in a struggle, making them ineffective at best. As Vindai's super-battery technology is tested and refined, the company is confident that it is very close to a finished product, and once released, Vindai's cameras could dominate the market, and have virtually no competition. In the bigger picture, it's very possible that one day every mobile device in the world will contain a Vindai Super battery, and frantically seeking out that electrical outlet to charge your phone will be a thing of the past.

ABOUT GOOD VIBRATIONS SHOES
Good Vibrations Shoes operates a wholly owned subsidiary business called Vindai, which focuses on fulfillment of government contracts in the areas of law enforcement, military, and corrections, as well as corporate contracts in private security and other areas. The company's goal is to dominate the fast growing, wearable body camera industry expected to grow to several billion dollars per year.

Other TRACE auto-follow devices in development include a rugged ATV style car for ground-based capture as well as a submersible for underwater video creation.

"The uses for this technological mashup are astounding," said Andrew Maltin, Hang w/ CEO. "From surfers to hikers to soccer players to parents who want to keep an eye on their kids in the backyard - we are ushering in a new age of live-streaming connectivity and I know our users are going to love it."

"TRACE is positioning to take live-streamed content creation to an entirely new level through allowing users to be fully in the moment as their action is captured and live-streamed completely autonomously," said Cameron Chell, Co-founder of TRACE. "We chose Hang w/ as one of our partners because of their powerful live broadcasting tools and extensive network of users who will now be able to Hang with each other in a whole new way."

The companies plan to integrate Hang w/ connectivity into the TRACE technology; to feature TRACE captured footage prominently on the Hang w/ platform; and to collaborate for the purposes of product innovation; marketing; and business development.

Synthesized Speech Enhances Serious Games:  Serious Factory Uses Acapela Voices in Pioneering Training Solution

MONS, Belgium, September 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Serious games convey knowledge and know-how to learners, in an engaging and user
friendly way. They can be adapted to any requirement and are deployed in all application
fields: healthcare, education, sustainable development, science...

    At the crossroads of video gaming and e-learning techniques, serious games use video
games' advanced technologies - real time 3D, simulated environment, conversation - to
raise awareness, expand knowledge, communicate, inform and even boost mental and physical
capabilities.

    Speech synthesis elevates this learning experience. The trainee benefits from lively
and stimulating interactive situations. The serious game editor has a choice of many
languages and can easily customize the scenario. The wide range of voices enables the
creation of many different contexts, information and emotions are perfectly conveyed via a
very pleasing audio result.

    This is why Serious Factory has integrated Acapela speech synthesis into its Virtual
Training Suite(TM) (http://www.seriousfactory.com/en/solutions/training/serious-game),
the first immersive simulator of behavioral training that completes traditional training
courses and extends the learning process.

    Serious Factory creates serious games and training simulators that are based on role
play, to help learners become quickly and durably operational.

    With both a 3D real time graphic environment and contextual vocal information, the
learner evolves in a virtual environment very similar to his or her own professional daily
routine.

    The trainee benefits from numerous educational/informative inputs, complementary to
traditional learning:

       
        - Easy control of the interface for enhanced involvement and engagement,
        - Immediate and regular practice to more easily assimilate knowledge,
        - Improved interaction thanks to personalization and immediate audio feedback via speech
          synthesis.

Bayonette Partners With ALTEN Calsoft Labs to Develop Industry's First vCPE Solution Based on Linux Containers

OSLO, Norway and SANTA Clara, California, September 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Joint Pioneering Effort Results in a High Performance NFV Platform for Gigabit
Broadband Providers That:  

       
        - Virtualizes and centralizes router functionality
        - Eliminates periodic customer router restarts
        - Simplifies introduction of new services
        - Reduces household electronic waste
        - Accelerates deployments of next-generation Connected Homes
        - Allows for third party virtual in-home service creation (vHome(TM) Services)

    Norwegian gigabit broadband pioneer Bayonette AS and Network Function Virtualization
[http://www.altencalsoftlabs.com/index.php/industries/networking-telecom/nfv ] (NFV) and
Software Defined Networking
[http://www.altencalsoftlabs.com/index.php/industries/networking-telecom/sdn ] (SDN)
pioneer ALTEN Calsoft Labs, today announced that they are working jointly to deploy
industry's first residential Virtual CPE (vCPE) solution for next generation gigabit
broadband providers.

    Bayonette provides affordable high quality gigabit fiber broadband services for
condominiums and cooperatives to support delivery of next-generation entertainment, such
as 4K OTT video streams and bandwidth intensive gaming platforms, but also health and
welfare technology to simultaneous users inside the home. To accomplish this at gigabit
levels, Bayonette needs the ability to deliver quality and stability all the way to the
user's device, not merely the residential gateway.

    "We experienced that existing solutions in the residential market were not created for
these high performance home networks, so we took measures to ensure that a stable and
reliable gigabit connection could be achieved regardless of use and household size," said
Arve Paalsrud, CTO of Bayonette.

    To meet these demands, Bayonette created the Bayonette vHome(TM) platform, that
centralizes complexity and simplifies in-home equipment to reduce truck rolls and
electronic waste. Bayonette vHome(TM) will also accelerate deployments of next-generation
Connected Homes, providing a centralized operator platform for supporting new network
standards and future opportunities such as IoT (Internet of Things), Smart Homes, and
third-party virtual in-home services through the vHome(TM) Services program.

    In a joint pioneering effort, Bayonette vHome(TM) is making use of ALTEN Calsoft Labs'
Intel(R) DPDK optimized Virtual CPE
[http://sdn.calsoftlabs.com/network-function-virtualization/virtual-cpe.html ] framework
that are capable of line rate packet processing in the fast path, to accelerate
development and deployment of industry's first residential vCPE solution based on Linux
Containers (LXC). The Bayonette vHome(TM) solution includes several innovations including
OpenStack based NFV orchestration and management solution for commercially deployed vCPE
and vRouter in LXC environment.

    "Our initial tests of Bayonette vHome(TM) has shown capabilities of providing over
2000 containers per Intel based dual socket server, processing beyond 40 Gbps of traffic.
That is a density of more than 160,000 vCPEs per rack," Paalsrud said.

    Virtualizing and centralizing router functionality simplifies Customer Premise
Equipment (CPE), eliminating troublesome router hassle and restarts for the customer. The
provider gets full control over routing, NAT, DHCP and Firewall functionality at both IPv4
and IPv6, essential to providing a future-proof gigabit connection.

    "ALTEN Calsoft Labs was able to help us accelerate our residential vCPE development.
We found their vCPE Framework capable of delivering line rate throughput, and meeting our
scalability, reliability and OAM requirements," said Paalsrud.

    "ALTEN Calsoft Labs was also able to offer expert resources to help us with our
development, integration and system testing needs, which was an added benefit for
Bayonette to get to market faster," he added.

    "We are very proud to be working with Bayonette for one of the world's first
commercial Residential vCPE solution deployments. The Bayonette vHome(TM) solution
includes several innovations such as use of Linux Containers (LXC) to achieve industry
leading performance and scale; something that the NFV market is looking forward to," said
Narendra Dhara, CTO & Senior VP for Networking & Cloud Infrastructure at ALTEN Calsoft
Labs.

    Production deployment of the platform will commence in December 2015.

First Contactless Payment Ring, Launches on Kickstarter

LONDON, September 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Embargoed until: 12.01am 25th September 2015

    Kerv (http://kerv.com ), the London fintech startup, today launches the world's
first contactless payment ring on kickstarter.com in a bid to raise GBP77k mass-production
capital via crowdfunding. 

         (Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150923/269922 )

    Kerv wearers can make instant contactless payments of GBP30 or lower with a single
gesture - no card, PIN, or paired smartphone required. Accepted anywhere in the world that
takes contactless payments, Kerv is always on 'your' hand, removing the need to carry a
wallet, purse, cash or cards - perfect for those with active lifestyles. The Kerv ring
never needs charging and doesn't need to be paired with a smartphone to work.

    Kerv seamlessly blends form with function, creating a beautiful and understated piece
of wearable tech which, uniquely, looks and feels nothing like a piece of wearable tech.
Available in black or white, Kerv's sleek outer shell is engineered from zirconia ceramic,
a material most often found in nuclear reactors and spacecraft and dental surgeries.
Zirconia is lightweight, hypoallergenic and one of the most scratch-resistant materials on
the planet, necessary for an item of functional jewellery designed to be worn all day,
every day. Kerv is also waterproof.

    Beyond retail payments, Kerv can be used on the Transport for London network (and
other global cities' mass transit systems). Kerv also offers instant sharing of emergency,
medical or contact details at the tap of an NFC-enabled phone, plus one-touch access via
compatible NFC locks and security systems - which means even more pocket junk can be left
at home.

    Kerv founder, Philip Campbell, said, "Currently, wearable payment devices are either
eye-wateringly expensive or thoroughly unattractive. But the biggest issue I have is that
they're all worn on the wrist, which has to be placed flat against the contactless reader
in a way that feels extremely unnatural and awkward. With a creative background - plus
eight years' experience in payments - I felt we could do better. So we did, designing Kerv
to be the most ergonomic, natural and convenient contactless payment method possible."

    Phil continued: "We feel Kerv is a perfect fit for Kickstarter, but we don't just see
the campaign as a way of raising the funds to take Kerv to mass production; we want to
elicit the input and support of a community of forward-thinking individuals that have a
real desire to help bring great products to market."

    Kerv Chairman David Hunter added: "A lot of technology in payments strikes me as being
a solution looking for a problem. I'm confident that Kerv will be well received on
Kickstarter because it solves genuine problems, focuses on the user-experience and makes
the underlying technology invisible."

    Kerv, the world's first contactless payment ring, launches on Kickstarter today,
Friday the 25th September at 7am GMT.

IBM Expands Watson Platform for Next Generation of Builders; Extends Industry's Largest Portfolio of Cognitive APIs

-- New APIs Broaden Watson's Language, Vision and Speech Capabilities

-- Developer Tools Simplify Combining APIs and Data

-- Upcoming Platform Innovations Previewed including Industry Data Sets & Robotics Integration

-- New Watson Hub to Open in San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today expanded the industry's largest and most diverse set of cognitive APIs, technologies and tools for developers who are creating products, services and applications embedded with Watson. 

The announcement was made by IBM during its forum on cognitive computing and Artificial Intelligence, where the company announced a new Watson location in San Francisco. IBM also previewed new platform innovations and research projects that will extend its industry-leading cognitive portfolio.

New capabilities, offered through the Watson Developer Cloud, include advanced language, speech, and vision services, and developer tools.

In less than two years, the Watson platform has evolved from one API and a limited set of application-specific deep Q&A capabilities to more than 25 APIs powered by over 50 technologies.

"Since introducing the Watson development platform, thousands of people have used these technologies in new and inventive ways, and many have done so without extensive experience as a coder or data scientist," said Mike Rhodin, senior vice president, IBM Watson. "We believe that by opening Watson to all, and continuously expanding what it can do, we are democratizing the power of data, and with it innovation."

New and expanded capabilities for developers include:

Language:  IBM is introducing dramatic advances in services that enable cognitive applications to understand the ambiguities of natural language in text. For example,

IBM Watson Natural Language Classifier enables developers to build products and applications that understand intent and meaning, finding answers for users even when questions are asked in varying ways; IBM Watson Dialogmakes app interactions more natural by creating conversations tailored to the individual style a person uses to ask a question;  IBM Watson Retrieve and Rankimproves QA information retrieval using machine learning to detect "signals" in data and help users uncover even the most hard-to-find information; and IBM Watson Concept Insights enables an application to expand and relate concepts, drawing on the meaning of a word rather that simple text matching.

Vision:IBM Watson Visual Insightsfor the first time allows developers to build apps that reveal insights from social media images and video. Available initially as an experimental service, this API applies reasoning to the content of images to deliver deeper insights, assess trends and patterns, and get a more comprehensive view of what users are communicating to get the 'big picture.'

Speech:  A pioneer of speech technologies, IBM is advancing IBM Speech to Text and IBM Text to Speech services by adding new tools that allow developers to create mobile apps in multiple languages, including Japanese, Mandarin, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, with additional languages to be continually introduced.

Developer Tools:  IBM is making available the first set of developer tools that significantly reduce the time required to combine Watson APIs and data sets. The tools make it easy to embed Watson APIs in any form factor from mobile devices, cloud services, and connected systems. IBM is also previewing IBM Watson Knowledge Studio where the company will open up its machine learning and text analytics capabilities in a single tool, making it simpler for line of business or general subject matter experts to use their own industry and organizational expertise to easily and rapidly train their cognitive applications.

IBM Brings Watson West with New Cognitive Computing Hub in San Francisco

IBM will expand the company's presence in Silicon Valley and the greater Bay Area with a new Watson Hub, South of Market (SoMa) in San Francisco. At the new location IBM professionals will be delivering and developing new cognitive computing capabilities. This will put IBM closer to, and increase collaboration with, the local start ups, developers, venture capital groups, established businesses and academic experts the company is currently working with to take cognitive computing into new markets. The location will also serve as the new global headquarters for IBM Commerce, a high-growth industry opportunity for IBM and Watson. The teams there will collaborate to integrate Watson solutions with the company's market leading Commerce portfolio for retailers and consumer products organizations. Located at 505 Howard Street, the facility will open in early 2016.

Watson Ecosystem Partners in Market Building Businesses

As the Watson platform has grown, tens of thousands of developers and hundreds of commercial Watson partners are now building applications, services and businesses embedded with cognitive computing. For example: 

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the world's oldest and largest scientific and educational computing society, is tapping IBM Watson Concept Insights to help find surprising connections between researchers and to predict authors who are relevant to a given technical area.

Coalesce has developed a cognitive application that combines the company's research expertise with AlchemyData News to help businesses make faster, more accurate, evidence-based decisions.

Touchcastis developing a new way for people to collaborate through an interactive video application for web conferencing that uses IBM Speech to Text to build a corpus of transcripts that can be instantly recalled after a meeting to facilitate knowledge management and collaboration.

Wayin, a real-time digital marketing technology and services company, is using Watson's vision capabilities to help brands discover the most compelling content that will persuade and drive marketing results based on the hundreds of million pieces of visual content uploaded to social channels daily.

The APIs featured in the Watson Developer Cloud are drawn from breakthroughs from IBM Research and strategic acquisitions that include AlchemyAPI and Cognea. They are built from advances in Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning and Machine Learning, among other computer science disciplines including Artificial Intelligence (AI).

What started with one key API in the Watson system that triumphed on Jeopardy! is now a vast collection underpinned by technologies ranging from Convolutional Neural Networks, Keyword Extraction, Linguistic Analysis, Passage Answering, Question Analysis, Relationship Extraction, Statistical Language Processing to Visual Analysis.

IBM also announced the intention to create 'industry cartridges' that will allow businesses to quickly and easily draw upon industry specific data with unique taxonomies. In addition to the traditional forms of interactions with smart phones and tablets, the company is now working to integrate Watson into next generation robotics.

IBM Watson: Pioneering a New Era of Computing

Watson is the first open cognitive computing technology platform and represents a new era in computing where systems understand the world in the way that humans do: through senses, learning, and experience. Watson continuously learns, gaining in value and knowledge over time, from previous interactions. With the help of Watson, organizations are harnessing the power of cognitive computing to transform industries, help professionals do their jobs better, and solve important challenges.

To advance Watson, IBM has two dedicated business units: Watson, established for the development of cloud-delivered cognitive computing technologies that represent the commercialization of "artificial intelligence" or "AI" across a variety of industries, and Watson Health, dedicated to improving the ability of doctors, researchers and insurers and other related health organizations to surface new insights from data to and deliver personalized healthcare.

Airbus Defence and Space Uses EOS Additive Manufacturing Process for the Optimized Production of Satellite Parts

CHENNAI, India, September 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    - Cross reference: Picture is available via epa european pressphoto agency
(http://www.epa.eu) -

    The Airbus Defence and Space division, one of the world's leading suppliers of
satellite and space transport technology, relies on EOS, global technology and quality
leader for high-end Additive Manufacturing (AM) solutions, for the optimized production of
satellite parts.

    Airbus Defence and Space's portfolio ranges from satellite systems to components for
the International Space Station ISS, where part requirements are particularly high because
of the tremendous temperature differences and external forces involved.

    The current generation of satellites includes specific brackets that serve as a link
between the body of the satellite and the reflectors and feeder facilities mounted at its
upper end. Originally, the engineers faced two key challenges with regards to the design
of these retaining brackets: They must fix securely to the body, yet have to mitigate the
extreme temperature fluctuations in space and serve as a layer of insulation as
temperatures range from -180 to +150 degree(s)C. So the stress on the material is
extremely high and very few materials can meet these requirements. Titanium turned out to
be the appropriate material choice due to its weight and thermal conductivity as well as
an acceptable density. After all, every kilogram carried into space costs many thousand
dollars.  

    Brackets manufactured conventionally and especially their connection with the carbon
components of the satellite did not meet their expectations. Subsequent installation on
the satellite component was very time-consuming so costs needed to be reduced as well. As
such, the engineers began looking for alternatives with the aim of optimizing the design
of future components accordingly.

    The company finally chose the Metal AM technology offered by EOS which also enabled
them to continue using titanium that was already a tried and tested material. Component
design as such could easily be adapted and production itself optimized. Today, Airbus
Defence and Space manufactures the part in a single step on an EOSINT M 280 Direct Metal
Laser Sintering System (DMLS) which meets all expectations. The temperature resistance of
the entire structure could be improved, which now can easily and permanently withstand a
margin of 330 degree(s)C under a force of 20 kN. This also significantly reduces thermally
induced failure during the qualification test campaign.

    In sum, AM brought measurable benefits to critical aspects of the project without the
need for compromising elsewhere. In addition to the technical advantages, targeted cost
reductions were achieved as savings in production alone amount to more than 20%. Moreover,
the weight advantage of the part is about 300 g, which means nearly one kilo per
satellite. Production time of the brackets during assembly of feed and sub reflector units
could be reduced by five days. Production time of the three brackets required for each
satellite is now less than a month.

XI.i.CON, a Wireless iPhone Charger with Data Sync Capabilities, Launches in Kickstarter in October

Bench Soft, the First Korean Startup to Succeed at Kickstarter, Challenges for the Second Time with XI.i.CON, its Brilliantly Designed Wireless iPhone Charger and Case Set

SEOUL, Korea, Sept. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- #KICKSTARTER - Bench Soft, a Korean startup that specializes in making mobile accessories, announced that it will launch its wireless iPhone charger and case set XI.i.CON on Kickstarter in October. It consists of a wireless charging battery and a beautifully designed case for the iPhone 6 series with a powerful charging performance.

Bench Soft developed the XI.i.CON series after noticing that there were no mobile accessories on the market that could charge and sync data simultaneously, except for the iPhone's original lightning cable. The product does its job flawlessly via a case and a wireless charging battery that use an X-shaped magnetic connector.

The wireless battery has two charging modes: eco and high-speed charging. In eco mode, users can fully charge the iPhone 2.3 times, as it uses 95% capacity of the battery with 4,300 mAh. In high-speed charging mode, users can fully charge it 1.7 times at 2,000 mAh per hour, same as the original iPhone charger.

The XI.i.CON case for iPhone 6 series has soft texture and provides a great grip. It has a MFI certified micro 5-pin adaptor to make it possible to charge the phone with Android phone chargers. The adaptor is magnetic, making it easy to attach and detach, and users get the choice of which charger or cable to use.

In addition, with a mobile app and Bluetooth connection, users can see the remaining battery power by 1% unit. Users have the options to choose either charging mode or data sync mode. The product also prevents users from misplacing their iPhones. This is achieved via an app, which shows the distance between the phone and the battery.

iPhones are designed with a built-in battery, and the battery cannot be replaced with a new one. Also, iPhone's charging terminal is not compatible with Android's chargers. This can cause more difficulty. Bench Soft has solved this problems with XI.i.CON.

Bench Soft CEO Lee Dong-hun expressed his ambition: "XI.i.CON is the best wireless charger for iPhone 6 series which we have developed. We expect people to love the product. We are preparing to launch the product on Kickstarter in the beginning of October. We aim to achieve our goals through cooperative work with KSEED, a crowdfunding campaign promotion company in Korea."

On Kickstarter last year, Bench Soft raised about $98,000 with its high-speed charging cable, almost five times more than the funding goal of $20,000. It was the first Korean company to successfully raise funds via Kickstarter with a domestic product.

XI.i.CON is scheduled to be launched on Kickstarter on Oct. 15. It is currently receiving sponsor information on the landing page (kseeder.com/campaigns/xlicon).

Epson Makes a Big Splash in Times Square with "Swimming In Ink" Event

U.S. Synchronized Swimmers to Perform in Giant Multi-Colored "Ink" Tank to  Announce Arrival of New EcoTank Printers

LONG BEACH, Calif., Sept. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- On Thursday, Sept. 24, Times Square, the Crossroads of the World, will add one more "first" to its illustrious history as it is transformed into a world-class venue for the U.S. National Synchronized Swimming Team. Sponsored by Epson, "Swimming In Ink" will feature a series of never-before-seen, high-energy synchronized swim routines by the U.S. National Synchronized Swimming Team in a massive, see-through tank of cyan, magenta, and yellow "ink." The tank - one of the largest ever constructed in Times Square - serves as a dramatic showcase of the new line of Epson EcoTank((TM)) printers that come loaded and ready with up to two years of ink(1). In conjunction with the "Swimming In Ink" event, Staples will also provide "Print All you Want" days(2) on Epson EcoTank printers in 16 stores across the New York Metropolitan Area on Sept. 23-25.

"With so much anticipation building for the availability of Epson's new EcoTank printers, 'Swimming In Ink' is meant to herald their arrival at Staples and other national retail and online stores with the biggest splash possible," said Keith Kratzberg, executive vice president, Epson America. "We think the multi-colored, 17,000-gallon swim tank, combined with the precision and performance of USA Synchro, is a perfect representation of our new printing technology." 

The Epson EcoTank "Swimming In Ink" Times Square event will feature hourly performances on Thursday, Sept. 24, beginning at approximately 9 a.m. and concluding at approximately 6 p.m. Each performance will feature members of the U.S. National Synchronized Swimming Team. In addition, the newly named 2016 Olympic Synchronized Swimming Duet will be in attendance.

"Swimming In Ink" will be held in Duffy Square located in the North end of Times Square, between 46(th) and 47(th) Streets, and Broadway and Seventh Avenue, adjacent to the TKTS reduced-price theater tickets booth. And while the team won't actually be swimming in ink, throughout the day, attendees will be able to watch live performances directly, or on billboards in Times Square. U.S. National Synchronized Swimming Team athletes will also be available for autographs and photos with attendees. In addition, performances will stream live all day at epson.com/SwimmingInInk.

"USA Synchro is delighted to work with Epson on this fun and truly unique event," said Kevin Warner, executive director, USA Synchro. "This is a tremendous opportunity for our team to showcase this sport as we begin our preparations for the 2016 season."

The U.S. National Synchronized Swimming Team will perform original routines choreographed by Stephan Miermont, who is internationally renowned and owner of Aquartist, a water show production company.

In order to better identify counterfeit currency and other negotiable documents, the use of advanced magnetic coding is a recent innovation necessitated by the increasingly sophisticated methodologies available to compromise optically based scanning systems. Therefore, the signature of additional magnetic information encoded in currencies of many countries can be used to distinguish valid currency from counterfeit copies. This use of magnetic encoding was coupled with the development of high-density and high sensitivity magnetic pattern recognition sensors.

LerTech's magnetic image scanning sensor, combines the highest SNR magnetic chips, featuring wide gap characteristics, and high output, ensuring the reliable detection of varieties of strong and weak magnetic encoded information in many currencies. The multi-channel lineup includes a typical channel resolution of 50 DPI (higher resolution also available) and line resolution of 200 DPI (can be specially designed between 50 DPI and 600 DPI range). The effective scanning width can be up to 180 mm with the physical size of 193 mm * 16 mm * 40 mm (width * length * height), suitable for the whole image scanning for many currencies.

Dr. Jianmin Bai, who is in charge of LerTech's research and product development division, pointed out that "Different from the traditional gradient magnetic field detection methodology limited at low resolution, LerTech applies the total new design featuring absolute magnetic field detection in our magnetic imaging sensor products allowing real magnetic image to be detected. The ability to develop high resolution magnetic imaging sensors with this unique design promises to accelerate the use of magnetically encoded information in a variety of currencies and other negotiable documents."

Lertech is a world leader in magnetic sensor manufacturing and designing, Lertech innovation is focus on magnetic image scanning, magnetic signal detection, and biochip technology.

Mindfulness TV Ad That Will Send You to Sleep

Mindfulness app, Calm, launches world's most relaxing TV ad

LONDON, September 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    This week viewers will be able to catch a first glimpse of the world's most relaxing
two-minute TV advert, which will be airing across a number of Sky channels in the UK.

    But concentrate, or you might fall asleep, because that's exactly what it has been
designed to do.

    The 120-second advert, created by the mindfulness app, Calm [http://www.calm.com ],
which recently surpassed 2.5 million downloads, is designed to be an antidote to
traditional TV advertising and is intended to help viewers relax and be less stressed. In
a world where we are bombarded by thousands of advertising messages everyday, it is hoped
this will be an unusual, but welcome break for viewers.

    The two minute ad, which has been developed by creative agency Dancing Aardvarks
[http://www.dancingaardvarks.co.uk ] and planned and bought by All Response Media
[http://www.allresponsemedia.com ], will run alongside a number of 30 second adverts, and
builds on the recent 'Slow TV' phenomenon and includes no voice over, or much action.

    During the advert the viewer is simply taken through five relaxing scenes - a mountain
view, waves crashing onto a beach, rainfall in a forest, a lakeside sunset and underwater
- with only the natural sounds of those scenes to disturb them.

    Michael Acton Smith, co-founder of Calm, explains: "The world is becoming an
increasingly noisy place and sometimes whispering can be more effective than shouting. No
one has ever created an ad quite like this and we hope viewers will enjoy this rare moment
of calm."

    This latest advert builds on the recent "Slow TV" phenomenon which first gripped
Norway with the broadcasting of a 7-hour train ride between Oslo to Bergen, which about a
quarter of the population tuned in for, and then more recently this year with the BBC Four
Goes Slow 
[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2977933/Not-exactly-fast-forward-BBC-launches-slow-TV-season-includes-two-hour-film-canal-boat-trip-no-voiceover.html ]
 series featuring a
three-hour National Gallery tour and a two hour long canal boat trip.

      You can watch the whole advert, which first airs on Tuesday 22nd September, here

DYMO Introduces The DYMO® XTL™ Series -- A Radical Advance In Complex Industrial Labeling

DYMO(®) XTL™ 300 and DYMO(®) XTL™ 500 available nationwide beginning in October

ATLANTA, Sept. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- DYMO(®), provider of innovative labeling solutions, today announced the launch of the DYMO XTL™ series of industrial labelers - the DYMO XTL 300 and DYMO XTL 500 label makers - the most radical, innovative and technologically-advanced series of label makers, cartridges and software to join the DYMO family. 

The DYMO XTL 300 and 500 label makers are fully outfitted with an array of time saving features all designed to make complex labeling jobs simple. Both the XTL 300 and 500 label makers are equipped with a life-like on-screen print preview, the first of its kind on a DYMO labeler, that showcases exactly how labels will look when applied to cables, pipes, patch panels and more. Additionally, hundreds of pre-loaded label templates further simplify the often-complex industrial labeling process by saving time and helping to eliminate mistakes.

As part of the product research and development, DYMO, a Newell Rubbermaid Inc., brand, provided professionals in the datacom, electrical, and maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) fields with the DYMO XTL 300 and 500 label makers (respectively) and asked them to replace their current labeler with a DYMO XTL label maker for a period of eight weeks.  At the end of the two-month trial period, DYMO asked the users to rate their experience. The results were astounding with 86 percent of datacom and 79 percent of MRO users stating the XTL label maker performed better than their current labeler.

"The launch of the DYMO XTL label makers is one of the most important Newell Rubbermaid product launches of the year," said Marta Aebischer, director of brand marketing. "We've done the research; we know there's a huge demand for this product. We have spoken to datacom, electrical and MRO professionals and are very confident the DYMO XTL series will become the labeler of choice for these industry professionals."

The DYMO XTL 300 label maker is an industrial labeler outfitted with multiple time-saving features all designed to help simplify labeling. Built specifically for professionals in the datacom and electrical fields, it comes standard with a life-like on-screen print preview and color display to show exactly how labels will look after printing. The built-in label applications and pre-loaded label templates ensure perfect formatting to help industry professionals save time by expediting the label-making process.

The rechargeable DYMO XTL 300 label maker is built tough with impact-resistant bumpers and a wipe-clean keypad that prints labels from ¼" (6 mm) up to 1" (24 mm) in a full range of UL-rated materials and colors. It features PC connectivity* and DYMO ID software for importing Microsoft® Excel® and other database files for entire label batches.

The DYMO XTL 500 label maker is engineered to simplify the labeling process and end common frustrations often associated with creating complex labels to meet industry codes and standards. Like the XTL 300 label maker, the DYMO XTL 500 label maker features a life-like on-screen print preview, built-in label applications and a variety of pre-loaded templates, but adds a color touch screen to make positioning text, barcodes and images on labels faster. The DYMO XTL 500 label maker prints pre-sized and continuous labels from ¼" (6 mm) up to 2" (54 mm), including safety signage and heat-shrink tubes in a full range of UL-rated materials and colors.

The launch of the DYMO XTL lineup of labelers will be fully supported by an integrated marketing and communications program. The DYMO XTL lineup will be featured at the IP EXPO Europe taking place on October 7 & 8 at the ExCel London (Stand MM12).
