    --  Single binary install - External dependencies are removed and optimal
        performance is gained in container, virtual and bare metal compute
        environments.
    --  Expanded SDK catalog - SDKs for iOS, Android, Java, JavaScript, Node,
        Python, C and GoLang are available.
    --  Enhanced protocol support - SOAP, RPG, CICS, OPC and other proprietary
        transactional protocols are supported.
    --  Expanded integration capability - Systems and data can now be exposed
        via REST, MQTT, SQL, NoSQL, SOAP, Java (JAR), sockets and FileIO.
    --  Data connectivity - Direct platform connections to Oracle, SQL Server,
        Cassandra, DB2i, DB2 Distributed, Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB and more via
        integration standards.
    --  Data streaming - Enabling real-time propagation of data and its state,
        ensuring all devices and subscribers immediately receive updates.
    --  Intelligent triggers - Developers can write app logic inside of
        triggered events for better performance and efficient data movement
        wrapped in security.
    --  Enhanced analytics API - Every transaction on the Novi platform is
        logged, and a REST-based API allows log information to be queried and
        shared seamlessly with third party visualization tools.
"With just a few clicks developers can connect real-time data, microservices, messaging and authentication into their existing or new applications and services," said Aaron Allsbrook, CTO of ClearBlade. "Beyond development, Novi also simplifies the runtime environment. It can manage large systems of connected endpoints and applications, but is also capable of handling the immense data streams they create in real time."

Anritsu Introduces Modular, Scalable Remote Spectrum Monitor Platform that Changes Face of Spectrum Surveillance

- Revolutionary Tool Helps Operators Reap Maximum Return on Spectrum Investment; Maximize Network Capacity -

MORGAN HILL, Calif., Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Anritsu Company, the global leader who introduced the first handheld wireless network analyzer 20 years ago, ushers in a new era of field wireless testing with the introduction of Remote Spectrum Monitor, a platform of modular and scalable products that helps operators generate a greater return on their multi-billion dollar spectrum investments and maximizes network capacity to meet consumer demand. Designed without a display or keyboard, Remote Spectrum Monitor automates the method of conducting radio surveillance, interference detection, and government spectrum policy enforcement while bringing greater flexibilities and cost efficiencies to network management.   

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150908/264483

"Operators have asked for a scalable and integrated solution to meet the test needs of their wireless network from a performance and cost perspective. Additionally, government regulators are often interested in monitoring the spectrum for illegal or unlicensed broadcasts. Anritsu addresses these requirements with Remote Spectrum Monitor, a bundled solution that provides an efficient platform that is flexible and expandable to evolve along with networks," said Gerald Ostheimer, Anritsu Corporate Vice President/General Manager. "Remote Spectrum Monitor leverages Anritsu's wireless field test expertise and our network monitoring proficiency gained through our market-leading MasterClaw Monitoring(TM) tool to create an innovative solution to help optimize network operation."

Remote Spectrum Monitor features two spectrum monitor modules at introduction. Each module has power of arrival (POA) algorithms to monitor for interference and approximate the position where the interfering signal is being generated.

To address the rapid expansion of wireless communications, Anritsu has developed the MS27102A, which is designed to maximize network capacity by more efficiently solving issues associated with the presence of illegal or unlicensed signals that interfere with authorized transmissions. Certified with an IP67 rating, the MS27102A is the ideal solution for outdoor monitoring applications and can be wall- or pole-mounted. With an operating temperature range of -40 degrees C to +55 degrees C, one (or optionally two) weather-resistant RF In ports, a rugged weatherized case and splash proof design, the MS27102A performs in the most extreme weather conditions. 

The MS27103A helps operators provide quality services to consumers and meet KPIs for a maximum return on network investment. Designed for multiple antenna applications that cover wide frequency ranges, the MS27103A is a rack-mountable multi-port RF In probe that constantly monitors the spectrum to ensure optimal performance. Anritsu has developed this monitor for cellular operators requiring spectrum monitoring coverage for multiple sectors and numerous frequencies per sector at their BTS locations.

Covering 9 kHz to 6 GHz, the probes have sweep rates up to 24 GHz/s, allowing capture of many interferers, including periodic or transient transmissions as well as short "bursty" signals. The modules also have low power consumption of < 11 watts.

The spectrum monitor probes are designed for robust field deployments, with capabilities for remote power cycling, automated system recovery protocols and secure firmware updates. A "Golden" firmware image is placed on each unit and can be used to return the probe to full operation in the rare case the firmware is corrupted.

Anritsu has developed Vision(TM) Application Software to automate collecting measurement data, providing useful information about network health and spectrum use. Vision Monitor automatically records spectrum data, maintains a searchable spectrum history database, enables alarm functions for unusual signal activity and provides tools for managing the spectrum monitoring system.

Users can also write custom monitoring program applications using available SCPI commands. Each pair of IQ data output is time-stamped using high precision GPS signals, allowing the IQ data to be used for Time Distance of Arrival (TDOA) applications for geo-locating signal positions. IQ data time stamp resolution is less than 9 nSec for precise signal location calculations.

An integrated web server is embedded into each spectrum monitor probe. Using either Chrome or FireFox, a user from anywhere in the world can log in to the spectrum monitor module and control any of its features using a PC/laptop, tablet or smartphone. Each module also features Gbit Ethernet for fast transfers of measurement data and control information.

Remote Spectrum Monitor complements Anritsu's MasterClaw Monitoring multi-technology solution and expands Anritsu's network monitoring portfolio that helps operators protect their network investments, achieve higher operational efficiency and increase revenue. Trusted by leading carriers globally, MasterClaw provides 24/7/365 visibility of network, service, app and customer usage, along with unrivaled troubleshooting.

Stern Pinball to Release Game of Thrones® Pinball Machines

World's Leading Maker of Arcade-Quality Pinball Games Partners with HBO Global Licensing® to Announce Newest Pinball Title

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill., Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Stern Pinball, Inc., the world's oldest and largest producer of arcade-quality pinball machines, proudly announced today the availability of Game of Thrones pinball machines. Inspired by the hit HBO® drama series, the newest Stern machines put players in the heat of battle where noble families fight for control of the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150904/263740

Stern's Game of Thrones Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition machines are packed with features and toys that provide an irresistible challenge to play against kings, knights, knaves and dragons. Each player can choose to be a Knight of the Stark, Lannister, Greyjoy, Baratheon, Martell, or Tyrell family Houses, and pick other Houses to battle. Game of Thrones actor Rory McCann as Sandor Clegane (The Hound) guides the player throughout the game with authenticity and strong presence. The goal of the game is to rule the seven kingdoms of Westeros.

"The Game of Thrones pinball machine celebrates the much-loved HBO series and gives fans an intense, high-energy pinball experience," said Gary Stern, Chairman and CEO of Stern Pinball, Inc.

The Game of Thrones pinball machine will be available in three models offering a variety of pricing and exclusivity for Game of Thrones fans and pinball collectors. All three models feature an animated, interactive dragon that roars, flies, and breathes fire through the magic of all-LED lit playfields. Players can slam the ball into the Battering Ram, attempting to break down the Castle Doors and grab features such as Super Jackpots, Wild Fire, and Playfield Score Multipliers. The animated mechanical Sword of Multiball holds back reinforcements until it's time to attack. A bank of three Drop-Targets lights the Lord of Light Lanes to protect against side drains and awards other progressive features. A Kickback fires the ball in anger when struck.

Players can win valuable random awards and features with Reel Pops(TM), a fun new software mechanism, by playing the Pop Bumpers and spinning three virtual spinning reels on the display. When three identical symbols line up, the player is awarded the prize shown on the reels. Earn Gold and spend it on needed weapons and features. An Action Button is featured on the front molding for the largest array of interactive play features ever seen in a pinball machine.

The Game of Thrones Pro model includes all the above features and 7 multicolor Shield inserts that represent the great Houses of Westeros and special shots on the playfield. Lightning-fast ramps and orbits send the ball on fascinating and versatile courses throughout the game.

Enter a whole new realm with Game of Thrones Premium and Limited Edition Pinball models. Vastly different from the Pro model, both Premium and Limited Editions feature a massive and challenging Castle upper playfield with a second set of full size flippers, shots and an animated Dragon. Both models feature dazzling, full-playfield, color-changing LED's throughout the game. An Elevator serving two "floors" brings the ball up to the Castle where the players battle against Houses and Dragons. The second Elevator floor delivers the ball to the Iron Throne, where victories great and small can be celebrated. Amazing light shows and effects are a visual celebration of players' victories.

The Limited Edition model delivers all the play features of the Premium model, while also featuring a Certificate of Authenticity, a numbered plaque, a designer-autographed playfield, a beautiful, hand-drawn cabinet and backglass artwork by Bob Stevlic. Exclusive, glossy, black-powder-coated, laser-cut side armor features dragon elements of the Targaryen Sigil and is inscribed with the Targaryen House motto, "Fire & Blood", all highlighted with a rich, red mirrored backing.

Pricing and Availability:

    Pro Model:                          $5,995 MSRP

    Premium Model:                      $7,595 MSRP

Jawbone Unveils New Design And Color Lineup For UP

Tech Innovator Expands Portfolio of Activity Trackers with Bold New Designs and Features

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Jawbone® today launched a new design for UP2(TM) and 10 elegant new colors for UP2 and UP3(TM), further expanding the portfolio of fashion-focused activity trackers.

In addition, Jawbone released a range of new features for UP2, UP3 and UP4(TM) that improve product functionality and reliability through a free over-the-air firmware update.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150904/263982

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150904/263983

"We're excited to expand the design platform for UP2 and UP3 with a sleek new strap for UP2 and 10 eye-catching colors, making our lineup of UP® products even more versatile and jewelry-like," said Travis Bogard, vice president of product management and strategy at Jawbone. "We've combined our intelligent app - recently voted best fitness app for iOS and Android - with beautiful design and premium materials to create the ultimate fashion accessory for those who want to live better in style."

Live Better in Style

Activity tracking has never looked so good with Jawbone's new collection of designs and colors. Crafted by leading industrial designer Yves Behar, Jawbone's new UP activity trackers feature slim and stylish designs that allow for 24/7 wear and can be easily accessorized with jewelry or watches on the wrist.

UP2, previously only offered in Black Diamond and Light Grey Hex with classic flat straps, is now available in 6 stunning new colors, 5 of which feature an all-new design with two lightweight thin straps - giving the slim tracker an even more fashionable and unique look and feel. The selection of new colors for UP2 include Turquoise Circle, Oat Spectrum, Gunmetal Hex, Orchid Circle and Black Diamond with the new lightweight thin straps, along with Violet Circle with the classic flat strap.

UP3, Jawbone's advanced multi-sensor tracker, is now available in 4 additional colors, including Indigo Twist, Ruby Cross, Sand Twist and Teal Cross, in addition to the previously available colors, Black Twist and Silver Cross.

Feature Updates for UP2(TM), UP3(TM) & UP4(TM)

A free over-the-air firmware update through the UP App will be released today to UP2, UP3 and UP4 users, enabling new features including, Automatic Sleep Detection and Passive Heart Rate monitoring.

With this new update, UP2, UP3 and UP4 users no longer need to tap the band to enter and exit sleep mode. The UP band now automatically detects when the user has fallen asleep at night and when they wake up in the morning. The system will continue to recognize and track detailed sleep stages, with UP3 and UP4 still capturing REM, Light and Deep sleep.

The feature update today also adds Passive Heart Rate tracking to Jawbone's multi-sensor trackers, UP3 and UP4, which previously only measured Resting Heart Rate and heart rate throughout the night. While Resting Heart Rate is one of the best indicators of overall heart health, the addition of Passive Heart Rate throughout the day gives users a more complete picture of their heart health.

Passive Heart Rate is taken periodically throughout the day when the user is still, and provides unique insight into how daily influences and choices such as diet, caffeine, stressful meetings, and other stimuli can affect heart rate and overall heart health. As UP captures a user's Passive Heart Rate over time, Smart Coach will have a more complete picture of the user's overall health and patterns, providing more tailored and customized advice based on the user's baseline heart rate measurements.

These new features were extensively tested in an open beta trial over the past month and have been widely welcomed by the UP community as a significant enhancement to the overall user experience.

Available September 8

Microsoft and Dell partner to deliver Windows 10 devices and unmatched sales, services and support to the enterprise

Expanded partnership kicks off broader Surface Enterprise Initiative alongside new Windows 10 enterprise features coming this month

ROUND ROCK, Texas and REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft and Dell today announced an expanded partnership to deliver premium Windows 10 devices and word-class services and support to enterprise customers. This partnership kicks off Microsoft's new Surface Enterprise Initiative, focused on bringing greater mobility and productivity to organizations to help them transform their businesses with Windows 10. Built for the enterprise with unmatched security and management options, Windows 10 will roll out new enterprise capabilities this month following a strong first month of availability with 75 million devices already running Windows 10.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20000822/MSFTLOGO

Starting in early October in the United States and Canada, for the first time, Dell will sell Microsoft Surface Pro tablets and Surface accessories through its North America commercial sales organization and later in the year on Dell.com/Work. This will be rolled out to the remaining 28 markets of Microsoft's Surface commercial channel starting in early 2016. Additionally, Surface Pro devices sold through Dell will include the option of Dell Services, including Dell Hardware Warranty (up to 4 years), ProSupport with Accidental Damage Service, and Configuration and Deployment Services. The Surface Pro will be sold alongside Dell's existing Windows tablet portfolio including the Venue Pro and Latitude 2-in-1 devices, meeting a wide range of customer needs with Windows devices from mobile productivity for knowledge workers to application-driven tablets that are purpose-built to meet specific customer use cases like in the hospitality, healthcare, retail or education sectors.

"We want to move people from needing, to choosing, to loving Windows and so do our partners," said Satya Nadella, chief executive officer, Microsoft. "Our global enterprise customers have asked us to match the Surface Pro 3 and Windows 10 experience with enterprise-grade support and services - and our partnerships like this one with Dell will do just that."

"Windows 10 is off to a great start, and we're ready to help make the transition to Windows 10 as easy as possible for all of our customers," said Michael Dell, chairman and chief executive officer, Dell. "Together with Microsoft, we are giving our customers great products, including Surface, with the best sales, service and support in the world."

Many businesses are choosing Surface and Windows 10 to improve productivity, and this partnership will make it easier for large enterprises to deploy Surface at scale - providing a way to purchase Surface Pro devices and world-class enterprise support and services, in one transaction and have devices deployed all over the world. Organizations will also be able to take advantage of improved enterprise grade security and management features with Windows 10.

New Enterprise Features Coming to Windows 10

Built for the enterprise, feedback from millions of IT Pros helped shape Windows 10. Ready for corporate deployments today, Windows 10 will introduce new key enterprise features to Windows Insiders this month, with broader availability later this year. For the first time, enterprises will be able to experience features like Enterprise Data Protection (EDP), which provides personal and corporate data protection wherever data flows; Microsoft Passport for enterprise, which helps business workers securely login to applications, websites and networks without the need for a password; and Windows Store For Business, which delivers business customers a unified Windows app store experience including a choice of Windows store apps alongside company-owned apps, and allow IT administers to acquire apps in bulk. As part of delivering Windows 10 as a service, enterprise customers can expect ongoing feature innovations that will keep them up-to-date with the latest technology and ongoing security updates for a secure experience they can trust.

More information regarding today's announcement, including videos from Satya Nadella and Michael Dell, can be found on the Windows blog.

Leading Provider EveryonePrint Brings New and Unique Functionality to the Mobile Print Market

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, September 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

                        Global launch of fourth generation software 

    Today EveryonePrint launches version 4 of their leading mobile print software
solution. EveryonePrint provides organizations of all sizes the ability to print from

4 today. There has been a huge growth in the adoption of mobile print in the corporate
enterprise market in the last two years, and version 4 contains many features and
enhancements to really benefit this sector."

    New features of EveryonePrint version 4 include:

       
        - Expanded capabilities to have highly available and highly scalable services, with
          new clustering and load balancing features. A company can have hundreds of thousands
          of users or tens of thousands of printers; there is no upper limit on user or printer
          numbers
        - Supports three of the leading Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions; AirWatch, Good
          Technology and MobileIron

market competitors - taking minutes, rather than days," continues Tavs Dalaa,

Affectiva announces availability of Emotion as a Service, a new data solution, and version 2.0 of its emotion-sensing SDK

BOSTON, Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Affectiva, global leader in emotion-sensing and analytics, announces availability of Emotion as a Service, a new data solution, and version 2.0 of its emotion-sensing SDK.

Based on Affectiva's highly accurate and patented science, these new offerings provide unique emotion-sensing and analytics capabilities, slated to transform industries such as market research, gaming, media and entertainment, mobile app development, retail, customer experience, online education, HR, automotive, robotics, healthcare and wearables.

Affdex Emotion as a Service makes emotion data available on demand, yielding highly accurate results at a very low cost. Send data collected with optical sensors or cameras. In return, receive powerful emotion metrics including nuanced facial expressions, the basic emotions and video quality metrics such as lighting conditions and head angles, specifically pitch, roll and yaw.

Affdex Emotion as a Service can be used to emotion-enable online digital experiences and to provide advanced emotion analytics in the digital world. Designers and developers can now infuse emotion data into their online digital experiences to make them interactive and adaptive based on emotion. Affdex Emotion as a Service also enables researchers studying facial expressions of emotion, scientists looking to analyze emotion metrics, and data analysts who need to integrate emotion data with their existing data platforms.

"For the first time ever, with Affdex Emotion as a Service, we are making emotion data very accessible by providing easy and inexpensive analysis of human emotions: video in, emotion analytics out," says Rana el Kaliouby, co-Founder and Chief Strategy and Science Officer of Affectiva. "Powered with unique emotion data, designers, developers and researchers can truly bring emotional intelligence to the digital world."

Affectiva has also released the next generation of its Affdex Software Development Kit (SDK), the world's only emotion-sensing SDK for iOS, Android and Windows platforms. Affdex SDK 2.0 delivers dramatically improved accuracy with new expression models trained over a broader set of facial images. Affdex SDK 2.0 provides developers better ease of use and accessibility by standardizing models for seven emotions: Anger, Sadness, Disgust, Joy, Surprise, Fear and Contempt. It also includes new facial expressions for a total of 15 facial action units. Some of these facial action units that are included in the SDK are very nuanced expressions that are difficult even for the human eye to detect, such as a "Smirk" or a subtle "Eye Close".  The new release provides 3D head orientation metrics, specifically pitch, roll and yaw, and supports the development of 64-bit applications for Windows. With this release Affectiva also debuts the new Affdex Developer Portal with documentation and source code for sample apps, including the flagship AffdexMe demo.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150904/263970

The Affdex SDK enables developers to add industry-leading emotion sensing and analytics capabilities to their mobile apps, games and other digital experiences.

"Knowing what the player is feeling and being able to dynamically respond to that in real time allows us to create smarter, more engaging, and more impactful interactive experiences. Not only does this mean more entertaining games, but it also means that we have more power than ever to educate and inspire through immersive media as a whole," says Erin Reynolds, Creator and Creative Director of the biofeedback-enhanced game Nevermind. "I'm excited about the Affdex SDK 2.0 because it brings these emotion-sensing capabilities to developers and end users alike - creating opportunity for more of this 'technology of the future' to be easily used, enjoyed, and benefitted from today!"

Already in use by a wide array of developers who are emotion-enabling their own technologies, the Affdex SDK delivers on the promise of bringing emotional intelligence to the digital world through novel, interactive and authentic products and user experiences.

TrueCar has been the first to use Affectiva's technology to track mass emotional sentiment. The TrueCar L.E.D (Light Emotion Data), built with over 70,000 LED lights, is a unique sensory concert experience that is ever changing based on crowd participation. Concertgoers can submit selfies to a custom mobile site, that - powered by Affectiva's SDK - measures the emotional sentiment of the user by analyzing their facial expressions, creating an immediate and noticeable color variation in the TrueCar L.E.D. centerpiece.  In use at the Twilight Concert Series at the Santa Monica Pier this summer, the TrueCar L.E.D. was a huge draw.

About Affectiva

Affectiva, the global leader in emotion sensing and analytics, brings emotional intelligence to the digital world. Using optical sensors, Affectiva technology and science map people's facial expressions into emotions, unobtrusively and at scale.  Affectiva has amassed the world's largest emotion data repository - 3.2 million faces analyzed from over 75 countries amounting to more than 12 billion emotion data points.  Its emotion analytics platform Affdex is used by one third of Fortune Global 100 companies and over 1,400 brands, including Unilever, Kellogg's and MARS to understand consumer emotional engagement, optimize business processes and improve customer experiences.

TCL Showcases Full Range of Smart Products at IFA

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading Chinese multinational electronics manufacturer TCL Corporation rolled out a wide range of new and innovative smart electronics and home appliances in a 1,800-square meter exhibition space at this year's IFA, which opened in Berlin on September 4, 2015. IFA is one of the world's largest trade shows for consumer electronics and attracts a large number of industry leaders. TCL's space is the largest ever taken by a Chinese company at the annual event.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150908/264269

At this year's IFA, TCL Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, showcased a line of quality TV sets including the QLED2.0, equipped with the highest quantum dot display standard, the curved TV H8800 and the quantum dot TV H9700, as well as the new large-screen tablet Xess, the water, dust and shock-proof smartphone GO PLAY and the latest smart watch GO WATCH. From the household appliance side of TCL's business, new models include the Big-eye Crystal washing machine featuring a German minimalist design and the BCD-750WEBS60 four-door refrigerator. The wide range of products featuring the latest designs across several technologies made the company the biggest eye-catcher among Chinese exhibitors.

By upgrading quantum dot, Dolby Vision HDR and curved surface technologies innovatively, the QLED2.0 launched by TCL Multimedia boasts a 110% NTSC color gamut, a wider brightness range, more accurate backlight adjustment and richer colors. Through its 4000R golden curvature, the QLED2.0 offers a panoramic immersive experience and delivers a perfect combination of an ultra-high color gamut and optimal curvature, demonstrating TCL's innovative technology.

TCL Communication also introduced several innovative products. Of particular note, the 17.3-inch full HD IPS large-screen Xess drew a great deal of attention from consumers. Encased in a modern silver and white 9.15mm ultra-thin body, the Xess comes equipped with a stereoscopic rotating stand, which allows users to adjust the unit to any viewing angle, and dual JBL speakers which provide users with immersive audio-visual effects. The most unique feature of the Xess is the multi-model UI which allows the user to configure and operate the unit based on the routine and lifestyle of the individual household. For example, users can watch instructional videos while cooking in "kitchen mode" and share captured moments such as successfully completing an unusually difficult work-out routine immediately after completing it in "home mode". The unit also supports 720P HD video calls which allow for zero-distance communication between family members. The Xess provides edutainment content specifically for children, enhancing parent-child communication and interaction as well as the quality of family life through features such as child monitoring and access control.

The GO PLAY and GO WATCH designed by TCL Communication for young outdoor sports enthusiasts also received a lot of attention at the event, demonstrating TCL's abilities at product innovation. GO PLAY has an IP67 certified dust and water-proof design and has passed the 1.5-meter drop test. With support for the LTE Cat.4 network, GO PLAY comes with 20 days of standby time and 8.3 hours of talk time. As the best partner for GO PLAY, GO WATCH also boasts an IP67 certified water, dust and shock-proof design. In addition to a built-in accelerometer, gyroscope, altimeter, heart rate sensor and electronic compass, GO WATCH also is equipped with an alerting feature, ensuring timely receipt of notifications concerning incoming text messages, email and phone calls, even when GO PLAY is not at hand.

The quantum dot curved TV H8800, the quantum dot TV H9700, the 3(rd) generation ultra-thin TV C1, the high color gamut TV E6800, the Big-eye Crystal washing machine, the BCD-750WEBS60 four-door refrigerator and the KFRd air conditioner equipped with patented dual-core titanium technology, as well as many new products including the P606L on display at TCL's booth all served to leave a deep impression on visitors. At this year's IFA, the H8800 won the influential Annual Product Innovation Award at the China Home Appliance Innovation awards ceremony. This is one of the highest levels of recognition that a product can receive from the global technology community. With a touch screen and variable speed cycles, the Big-eye Crystal washing machine, which won the 2015 iF Design Award, grabbed a massive amount of attention from passers-by at the event. The washing machine delivers a unique level of aesthetics to the home due to its German minimalist design, identically rounded corners, the double curved surface door seal and an ultra-thin U-shape body using the German TOX riveting process.

The products were developed as a result of TCL's commitment to technological innovation since the day the company was founded. At the IFA, TCL Corporation chairman and CEO Li Dongsheng said in an interview that the company applied for2,971 patents in 2014, including more than 2,100 invention patents, placing it among the top five in China in terms of number of patent applications. TCL's subsidiary China Star Optoelectronics Technology ranked fourth among Chinese companies in terms of international PCT applications. Innovation has undoubtedly become the most important engine for TCL's development.

CTR 8380 Lowers Cost, Increases Networking Flexibility

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviat Networks, Inc., (NASDAQ: AVNW), the leading expert in microwave networking solutions, today announced the CTR 8380 all-outdoor microwave router. CTR 8380 converges microwave and IP/MPLS functionalities into a single compact device for all-outdoor deployments and is the only outdoor router on the market with integrated microwave capability.

UTC2000 Controller Enables Simple and Quick Implementation of Popular Reversible-Plug Connector for USB Devices and USB Cabling Into Wide Range of Applications

CHANDLER, Ariz., Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP), a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced the addition of the UTC2000, USB-C((TM)) controller to its leading portfolio of USB devices. With this new device, designers of a wide range of applications covering the consumer, industrial and automotive markets can now simply and quickly implement the radically updated USB-C connector cost effectively, speeding time to market and minimizing bills of materials. Housed in a 16-pin QFN package, the UTC2000 controller's small form factor also enables the deployment of USB-C connectors in mobile applications.

To learn more about the USB-C connector revolution, visit: http://www.microchip.com/USB-C-081715a.

The USB-C cable is now poised to become the "universal" cable, as it is capable of supplying data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps, 100W of continuous power flow and ultra-high-bandwidth video capabilities made available through alternate modes--all with a single connection and cable. For designers wishing to take advantage of the new standard with the same blazing-fast transfer speeds at the lowest cost point, the UTC2000 controller supports up to 15W of power, ideal for a wide range of applications in the consumer (e.g., notebooks, printers and accessories, docking stations, mobile devices and battery chargers), industrial (computers and handheld devices) and automotive markets (e.g., head units, break-out boxes and USB battery chargers), among others.

"Microchip is well known for its full complement of robust USB solutions, and we are excited to include support for the emerging USB-C standard at the entry-level market tier," said Mitch Obolsky, vice president of Microchip's USB and Networking Group. "The UTC2000 controller allows our customers to easily add the new USB-C connector to their products, with minimal design time, resources and risk."

Microchip's expertise with the USB-C standard provides designers integrating the UTC2000 controller into their products the confidence of meeting all requirements for USB-C compliance. Additionally, Microchip makes it easy to take full advantage of the USB-C benefits while lowering development costs and product-launch delay risks.

Development Support
The UTC2000 USB-C controller is supported by Microchip's UTC2000 Evaluation Kit (part # EVK-UTC2000, $99.99), which is available today. This kit enables designers to easily convert a traditional USB connector to type C for both UFP and DFP.

Pricing & Availability
The UTC2000 USB-C controller is available now for sampling and volume production in a 16-pin QFN package, for $0.61 each in 10,000-unit quantities.

Versatile Zuna Drive Cell Phone Case Combines Multiple Unique Features

Innovative Cell Case Protects Phones & Promotes Safer Driving

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- It is the only cell phone case on the market that is designed to protect both the phone AND motorists who use their phones for navigation while driving. The clever design of the Zuna Drive combines a sturdy, impact-absorbing phone case with a unique built-in mounting clip that attaches the phone seamlessly to most horizontal A/C vent of a vehicle with the added feature of a kickstand with the assistance of a business card or credit card.

The Zuna Drive secures the phone in place for navigation without a bulky cell phone mounting appliance that can block a driver's view or additional mounting devices for your case.  The patented design helps ensure that the phone stays in line of sight allowing drivers to navigate via GPS, or easily and quickly accept a hands-free call. The product helps prevents against distracted driving by keeping the eyes of the driver on the road ahead and keep their hands on the wheel not on their phone. Unlike bulky mounting devices that are attached on the dashboard or windshields mounts which is illegal in most states, Zuna Drive is easily removable and can travel with the user from vehicle to vehicle.

The added features Zuna Drive include a durable impact resistant case that protects your phone from most accidental drops onto hard services. With use of a business card or credit card you can also use the case as a kickstand for viewing pleasure.

The Zuna Drive is available for iPhone 6/6s, iPhone 6/6s Plus, iPhone 5/5s and later this year the Samsung Galaxy. The product weighs just a few ounces and comes in three colors: black, blue, orange.

The Zuna Drive sells for $39.99 and is available online at: http://www.bestbuy.com, Fry's Electronics stores or Frys.com, Amazon.com and http://www.Zuna.com

About FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona was founded on November 29, 1899, by initiative of a Swiss gentleman called Hans Maximilian Gamper, popularly known as Joan Gamper. Since it was founded, the club has had 44 different presidents. From Walter Wild to Josep Maria Bartomeu, Barca has grown into a massive social phenomenon that reaches far beyond the bounds of mere sport. The club has grown along with the city around it, and has come to represent Barcelona and Catalonia all around the world.

FC Barcelona is one of the football clubs with more members in the world and its achievements have also made it one of the most successful. The many famous victories and all-time greats that have played for the club (Kubala, Cruyff, Maradona, Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Messi, and so many more) form an important part of the Barca legacy. But these would be no more than historical anecdotes if it wasn't for the extraordinary social reality behind the events.

"Gone are the days when projectors were only used to display slides - multimedia content, including images and video, is becoming the de facto standard and business users require projection solutions able to display that bright, vibrant and high resolution content," said Kristi Lanzit, product manager, Projectors, Epson America, Inc. "Epson's new EX-Series projectors deliver far more accurate color with 3x higher Color brightness(1) and up to 3x wider color gamut(4) than leading competitive projectors. Epson, which was recently voted No. 1 for image quality(5),  is committed to delivering projection solutions that will make any presenter shine."

The EX9200 Pro delivers premium, WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200) and the latest connectivity. WUXGA resolution is ideal for detailed charts, graphics, video, and excel spreadsheets with 4.5x more resolution than SVGA to project in Full HD 1080p . The EX7240 delivers WXGA resolution (1280 x 800) for HD-quality presentations and videos from a range of devices. Both projectors include HDMI(®), MHL support(6), and easy wireless setup, including Epson's exclusive quick connect with on-screen QR code for easy access to content from smartphones and tablets - users simply turn the projector on, use the free Epson iProjection(TM) app(7) to scan the on-screen QR code and be instantly connected to share content.

The EX3240 allows users to present standard charts and graphics for presentations easily. With SVGA resolution (800 x 600) and a host of innovative setup features, the EX3240 is a reliable projector that allows users to start presenting in no time. It also supports HDMI, the digital connectivity standard, for compatibility with the latest laptops and media players.

The EX9200 Pro, EX7240 Pro and EX3240 deliver innovative features that ensure bright, vibrant images, flexible placement and fast setup, including:

    --  Far More Accurate Color: 3LCD, 3-chip technology for 3x higher color
        brightness(1) and up to 3x wider color gamut(4) than competitive DLP
        projectors
    --  Fast, Easy Setup: Image adjustments including automatic vertical
        correction and Easy-Slide horizontal image correction ensure correctly
        proportioned images from virtually anywhere in the room
    --  Device Compatibility: Supports HDMI for digital video and audio with one
        cable; pairs seamlessly with the latest laptops and media players
    --  Wireless Connectivity: Project directly from a laptop, smartphone or
        tablet without plugging in to move more freely about the room (EX7240
        Pro and EX9200 Pro only)
    --  Quick Control: Instant Off(®) quickly powers down the projector with no
        cool down time; Sleep Mode (A/V Mute) pauses the presentation without
        turning off the projector; and Direct Power Off/On delivers wall switch
        power control
Color Brightness Specification and Projector Performance
The color brightness specification (measuring red, green and blue) published by the Society for Information Display (SID) allows consumers to compare projector color performance without conducting a side-by-side shootout. With today's high definition content, presenters can display content with higher quality in brighter environments. For a truly impressive image, projectors need to offer both high color brightness and high white brightness. High color brightness is important for larger screen sizes and provides flexibility for a variety of screen materials. Without sufficient color brightness, images may be muddy, soft and lose detail, even in a dark room. For more information, visit http://www.colorlightoutput.com.

Availability and Support
The Epson EX9200 Pro ($799), EX7240 Pro ($649) and EX3240 ($449)(8) will be available in September through major retailers and directly on Epson.com. The projectors come with a one-year limited warranty that includes Road Service projector replacement program with projector exchange in one business day with paid shipping, and a 90-day limited lamp warranty.
