HeHa Fuels A Healthy and Happy Life

HONG KONG, Aug. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- During childhood, our fathers always held our hands and offered their tenderest care and protection. But how long has it been since our last walk with them?

In June, a warm-hearted walking story about a father and a son was widely spread on WeChat Moments. This intriguing social media marketing activity, "Happy Walking with Daddy", launched by HeHa Digital Health Limited ("HeHa"), attracted significant attention and readership of 800,000. The word "HeHa" and the cartoon symbolising the Chinese character "Shuang" left a vivid impression on netizens.

"HeHa means 'feeling good' which symbolizes 'real happiness,'" said Mr. Albert Wong, General Manager of HeHa. "HeHa aims to assist the public in achieving the balance among health, family, work, friends, positive thinking and leisure life, so as to attain 'real happiness.'"

As a new member of LKK Health Products Group (LKKHPG), HeHa is dedicated to establishing a mobile internet platform, devices and services and is committed to fulfilling the mission of "helping people to live a healthier and happier life". Albert added, "We strive to pursue 'real happiness' by experiencing, sharing and establishing the HeHa Community on our mobile internet platform. Our HeHa Community consists of key opinion leaders, active consumers and HeHa employees. There is no fixed leader - each community member can be a leader of his/her network.

"HeHa's 10,000 steps" is a healthy lifestyle promoted by HeHa Community, which is an element of a happy life. The concept originates from "10,000 steps a day", which is a health care practice recommended by numerous health research institutes and experts. By integrating social and gaming experience with walking, "HeHa's 10,000 steps" helps the public to persevere in healthy habits.

HeHa has launched a mobile application, HeHa App, and a wristband, HeHa Dao. HeHa App integrates the functions of step counting, community and sleep monitoring. HeHa Dao is a smart wristband that is meant to be paired with HeHa App. Customers can log onto the official website of HeHa or search for its official account "iHeHa_CS" on WeChat to purchase or download relative products.

Stepping into 2015, mobile internet speeds will increase apps' influence on our lives, ranging from shopping to travelling, from government affairs to financial services. Everyone's life is more or less benefited by "Internet+", therefore, digital technology has won favour with a great deal of enterprises.

Mr. Harry Yeung, Senior Vice President of LKKHPG, said, "Innovation is always an important strategy of the company. Advanced technology can help to bring more healthy and joyous devices and services to customers. HeHa has established its mobile internet platform with a focus on joint demands for health and joy of the people, to build a happy living ecosphere. Its establishment will fuel the development of the Group."

Get the Most Out of Your 2-in-1 Windows Tablet for Back to School

The E FUN Nextbook Flexx 10 Tablet Is Available Now for $178 with Limited Edition Neoprene Sleeve at Walmart Stores and Walmart.com

WEST COVINA, Calif., Aug. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- With the school season quickly approaching, it's time to think about what technology you or your student will need to ensure success. For ultimate flexibility in the way you learn, communicate, access information, and complete homework, consider a 2-in-1 Windows tablet such as the Nextbook Flexx 10. Here are five quick tips to help get the most out of your 2-in-1 as you head back to school.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150814/258544

Just in time for school, receive a limited edition neoprene sleeve with the Nextbook Flexx 10 2-in-1 Windows tablet for easy transport to and from school. Visit Walmart.com for more information.

Upgrade to Windows 10
Nextbook users are eligible for a free* upgrade to Windows 10, which introduces new features such as Cortana, Windows Continuum, Microsoft Edge, and more. With Windows 10, students will experience improved performance and get the most out of their Nextbook tablet.

Use the Touch Screen or the Keyboard
The great thing about a 2-in-1 is that it mixes the best of both worlds; it has the utility of a laptop and the ease-of-use and flexibility of a tablet. In order to get the most out of your Nextbook make sure to take full advantage of its versatility at school. The touch screen gives students a better way to connect with content and many kinesthetic and visual learners will find it much easier to understand topics; while the full-sized detachable keyboard allows students to comfortably work on long papers and other typing-intensive projects.

Take Advantage of Apps
One of the main benefits of having a Nextbook at school is that it gives you access to countless educational apps. One app in particular, myHomework, provides a great way for students to keep organized. With myHomework, students are able to track and receive due date reminders for assignments, projects and tests. Other apps such as Flashcards Pro and CamScanner HD make studying and organizing notes a breeze. Find which apps work best for you and then use them!

Use eBooks to Lighten the Load
Gone are the days where students have to lug around several large textbooks from class to class; instead think about using eBooks to lighten the load in your backpack. The Nextbook Flexx 10 tablet comes preloaded with the NOOK app, giving users free and easy access to more than 3 million books, magazines, and newspapers. You can also download and gain access to the Kindle eBooks and Borders BookStore apps among others to expand your eBook library. 

Activate your Office 365 Personal Account
The Nextbook Flexx 10 2-in-1 tablet comes fully loaded with a one-year subscription to Microsoft Office 365 Personal, with all of the programs a student needs to do well in school (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook). Make sure to activate your one-year subscription within six months of Windows activation date to gain access to these important tools. 

Students can also use Skype to video chat for homework help from friends; plus store, share, access and edit their files online across multiple devices with 1 TB of OneDrive online storage free for one year. Backing up important school files is a foolproof way to avoid forgetting an assignment at home.

*Upgrade within one year of availability. See Windows.com/windows10upgrade for offer details

As Kids Head to College, Parents Can Find Comfort in Having Electronic Repairs Covered

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Aug. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- You've raised your kids to be independent, to be able to think for themselves. Now they're off to college, and you wonder whether the lessons really sank in. Fortunately, there's a way to lift at least some of the load, eliminating the hassle if their essential electronics and other gear die at the worst possible moment.

Electronics have become an indispensible part of college life, taking the place of everything from text books to notepads. A service contract makes it simple for far-from-home college students (and even those closer to the nest) to get quick, low-cost repairs should their important electronic devices fall victim to the drops, spills and other misfortunes of typical campus life. The security of a service contract becomes more important with each new school year, as a recent survey showed that about half of all people ages 18 to 29 own a digital tablet.

"The last thing the parent of a college student wants to be concerned about is whether their child's electronic devices will hold up, and a service contract takes away the worry," said Tim Meenan, executive director of the Service Contract Industry Council. "The convenience and affordability of a service contract lets students concentrate on their studies instead of the aggravation and cost of repairs, especially if they're far from the comfort of home."

Service contracts give consumers peace of mind by providing cost-saving coverage that makes it easy to repair or replace damaged electronics. In addition to helping consumers save money, service contracts save time and eliminate the hassle of having to search for repair services. For a fraction of the cost of full replacement, service contracts for electronic devices may cover:

    --  Accidental drops
    --  Spills or water damage
    --  Mechanical/electrical failures from normal use
    --  Damaged screen or touchscreen
    --  Antenna, Wi-Fi or charging port failure
    --  Dead battery
Consumers who have questions about service contracts for electronics can visit http://go-scic.com/consumer.

The Service Contract Industry Council is a national trade association whose member companies collectively offer about 80 percent of the service contracts sold in the U.S. for home, auto and consumer goods. The SCIC educates consumers about service contracts, encourages its members to pursue high standards of customer satisfaction, and develops and promotes model legislation to regulate the industry with standards designed to protect the consumer and the industry.

Casio G-Shock Unveils A Basel Special Limited Edition MR-G Timepiece

Luxury G-Shock timepiece expands its range with a new titanium alloy treatment

DOVER, N.J., Aug. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio America, Inc. builds on its luxury influence with the introduction of a limited edition Basel special version of the G-SHOCK MR-G - MRGG1000RT-1A.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150812/258031

Designed at Casio's Yamagata Factory in Japan, the limited edition timepiece is crafted with a new titanium alloy treatment - Titanium 64. Ti64's composition of 90% titanium, 6% aluminum, and 4% vanadium makes for a material that is seven times harder than pure titanium. Paired with the tough Ti64 protection is a "Japan Blue" DLC treatment on the case and bracelet, gold front screws and crown, and anti-glare sapphire glass. The finishing touch is a recrystalized bezel that is inspired by the nie pattern that is characteristic of Japanese swords and represents the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship. This process gives the bezel and metal plate a rich finish that reflects a distinctive glow in the light.

The MR-G Basel limited edition timepiece has an array of superior features, the most pronounced being the hybrid technology of GPS and Multiband 6, allowing for accurate timekeeping at all times, anywhere in the world. Additional features include Shock Resistance, 200M Water Resistance, Tough Solar, Latitude Indicator, Airplane Mode, World Time (29 Time Zones, 40 Cities + UTC), LED (Super Illuminator), Daily Alarm, Full Auto Calendar, 1/20(th) Sec. Stopwatch (24min), Countdown Timer (24Hr), and Day/Date Display, and a Case Size of 56.0 mm.

The G-SHOCK MR-G GPS Atomic Solar Hybrid Basel Special Limited Edition MRGG1000RT-1A will retail for $6,000.00 USD and be available September 2015 at select jewelers, G-SHOCK.com, and the G- SHOCK NYC Soho store.

About G-SHOCK
CASIO's shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch is synonymous with toughness, born from the developer Mr. Ibe's dream of 'creating a watch that never breaks'. Over 200 handmade samples were created and tested to destruction until finally in 1983 the first, now iconic G-SHOCK hit the streets of Japan and began to establish itself as 'the toughest watch of all time'. Each watch encompasses the 7 elements; electric shock resistance, gravity resistance, low temperature resistance, vibration resistance, water resistance, shock resistance and toughness. The watch is packed with Casio innovations and technologies to prevent it from suffering direct shock; this includes internal components protected with urethane and suspended timekeeping modules inside the watch structure. Since its launch, G-SHOCK has continued to evolve, continuing to support on Mr. Ibe's mantra "never, never give up".

The new Armor III processor also has the capability to sanitize the drive with the NSA 9-12 protocol in less than two minutes, which is up to three times faster than industry standard.

As part of the TRRUST-Stor best-in-class self-encrypting drive (SED) technology, the product offers security that is unmatched in a standard mSATA SSD. Advanced key management modes and isolated key fill capabilities protect unpowered data at rest by assuring that the encryption key does not reside in the SSD once power is removed. For sensitive applications, a hardware or software signal can trigger an erase of the encryption key in less than 30 milliseconds (ms). A second security layer can be activated to erase the entire storage media in less than 10 seconds, rendering data forensically unrecoverable.

"Microsemi's low power mSATA SLC-based SSD is specifically designed for embedded applications requiring the highest levels of security and reliability. Our mission is to help our customers solve the most demanding data reliability and protection challenges," said Charlie Leader, vice president and general manager for Microsemi's Power & Microelectronics Group.

Get a Free Cocktail Every Day With Drinki

LONDON, August 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

         World's first app to swap a Facebook Check In for a free cocktail is live 

    New British brand Drinki [http://www.drinki.com ] has launched a free cocktail app,
the first in the world to reward users with a free desirable reward - in this case, a
cocktail - in return for a simple Facebook Check In.

    More than 70 leading London bars and pubs have signed up to give free drinks to the
app's users, including Buddha Bar, The Big Chill and The London Grind.

    When Drinki users arrive they simply show a screen on their phone to the bartender,
who will tap the phone once; at this point a Facebook Check In is completed by the app.
The bartender will then shake up their cocktail or pop their champagne absolutely free.

    Users can claim one free Drinki each day, every day of the week.

    Founder Sophie Abrahamovitch said: "This isn't happy hour, it's much better. There's
no catch and there are over 10,000 drinks available each week. That number's rising
constantly as new venues sign up.

    "With Drinki, it's not about the number of friends or likes you have, it's about one
simple Check In on Facebook. The venue rewards you with a cocktail or glass of champagne
to get lunchtime or evening drinks off to a flying start.

    "We are featuring new bars every week, so it's a great way to discover new places and
scope them out." Abrahamovitch added.

    Drinki has a bar for everyone and every occasion, from high-end cocktail bars like The
Hide, through to nights out with friends at Trapeze in Shoreditch or pre-dinner drinks at
Beagle in Hoxton - and even late-night party venues like Zebrano in Soho. With Drinki,
it's never been easier to get a free drink.

    The average cocktail featured in the app would normally cost GBP8. Once the app has
been downloaded, users can view the nearest offers, such as: "Free champagne at Buddha
Bar", "Free Espresso Martini at Holborn Grind", "Free Jamble at Simmons Bar" or a "Free
Rapaska at Juju's, Chelsea". The offers are displayed on a map so they are really easy to
find.

    As the emerging experts on cocktails all over London, Drinki has worked with its bar
partners to reveal which cocktails are the most popular throughout London
[https://drinki.com/map/cocktailmap.html ]. Islingtonites love a Bramble, Soho is known
for its spicy Bloody Marys, but Vermouth is on the rise in the East End.

    Drinki's cocktail consultant, Michael Stringer, who has created bespoke drinks for
David Beckham, Jamie Oliver and the Kardashians said: "Certain drinks and spirits have a
deep heritage in different parts of London. Champagne cocktails define Mayfair and the
West End. The experimental East has seen many cocktail trends, from oyster cocktails in
the 19th century to Espresso Martinis, popular with the fashion and arts party crowds.
Vermouth Negronis are very much on the rise in up-and-coming areas in the East, while
Clapham's roots are in rum-based drinks, like the Mojito. The West End's favourite brunch
hangouts have some of the best and most popular Bloody Marys."

    Download the Drinki app for free from AppStore or PlayStore.

       
         
        * Users can receive one free drink every day from midday to midnight at participating
         venues 
        * Download the Drinki app for free from AppStore

http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20150813/8521504906LOGO

The new STM32F7 MCU is the highest performance member of ST's STM32 MCU family and combines the Cortex-M7 core with advanced peripherals to deliver unrivalled opportunities to enhance application performance, add new functions, extend battery life and ensure security, as well as minimising use of external components to save cost and size. The STM32 family from ST is well known across the industry for its power efficiency and pin-, peripheral- and software-compatibility across more than 500 different devices, as well as offering the extensive STM32 development ecosystem.

Maximising the advantages of the ARM Cortex-M7 over earlier cores such as the Cortex-M4, the STM32F7 MCU series has approximately twice the DSP capability, making the MCUs ideal for applications requiring high-speed or multi-channel audio, video, wireless, motion recognition or motor control. Also, taking advantage of ST's advanced ART Accelerator(TM) graphics engine and the L1 on-chip cache of the Cortex-M7, the STM32F7 MCUs deliver the maximum theoretical performance of the Cortex-M7 and offer 1082 CoreMark/462 DMIPS at 216MHz, whether code is executed from either embedded Flash or external memory. The devices deliver high processing efficiency of 6 CoreMark/mW at 1.8V and also excellent low-power performance with typical current consumption of only 100 microampere in Stop mode or as low as 1.7 microampere in Standby mode.

Offering a highly flexible architecture, the series features an AXI and multi-AHB bus matrix for the interconnection of the core, peripherals and memories. The selection of advanced peripherals includes features such as a dedicated power rail for the USB OTG, which enables USB connectivity to continue operating while the rest of the chip is powered at 1.8V to save power. Dual clock support on most of the peripherals also allows CPU speed to be reduced to minimise power consumption, while keeping the clock frequency unchanged on communication peripherals.

Two STM32F7 product lines are available -- STM32F745 and STM32F746 -- all of which feature the Cortex-M7 core with floating-point unit and DSP extensions, running at up to 216MHz. The STM32F745 MCU has up to 1MB of on-chip Flash memory, as well as 320KB RAM, Ethernet, QSPI and camera interfaces, and a Flexible Memory Controller (FMC). The STM32F746MCUs extend this functionality with an on-chip TFT-LCD controller. The STM32F7 MCUs are available in a range of packages, including: 14x14mm LQFP100; 28x28mm LQFP208; 10x10mm 0.65mm-pitch UFBGA176; 13x13mm 0.8mm-pitch TFBGA216; and 5.9x4.6mm WLCSP143.

Also available from RS is the STM32F7 Discovery kit, which delivers high levels of flexibility and enables developers to fine-tune hardware and software at any stage of development. Developers can also benefit from the associated STM32CubeF7 firmware and the ability to re-use all STM32F4 software assets, due to the backward compatible instruction set with the Cortex-M4. In addition, unlimited development expansion capability is provided via the board's compatibility with Arduino Uno shields.

The STM32F7 series of MCUs and STM32F7 Discovery kit are now available to order in the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions from RS.

CPI Solutions Help SpareBank 1 Achieve Desired PUE with "Lego® Approach"

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, England, Aug. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Using what they call "The Lego(®) Approach," SpareBank 1, a Norway-based alliance of banking, insurance and holding companies, was able to improve its data center infrastructure and lower its Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) thanks to Chatsworth Products' (CPI) flexible and innovative data center solutions.

Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150812/257855

SpareBank 1 teamed up with CPI and Coromatic, a vendor of data center solutions, to design a state-of-the-art data center tailored specifically to its organizational needs. The alliance wanted a solution that would fit into its existing environment and accommodate 200 kW of power and cooling to maintain the continuity of its operations.

To meet this unique installation requirement and to create the most efficient solution possible, SpareBank 1 selected CPI's Hot Aisle Containment (HAC) Solution, Two- and Four-Post Racks, Evolution® Cable Management and Accessories. This solution was chosen to help the alliance achieve its desired PUE goal of 1.3. CPI's HAC Solution completely isolates hot exhaust air from IT equipment and removes it from the room, resulting in more efficient cooling units.

"For the design of the solution, I like the interoperability of CPI products. I can pick and choose and assemble a solution," stated Magnus Askautrud, Business Development Manager for Coromatic.

SpareBank 1's new data center not only supports the 1,000 people located in the building, but also 6,300 more employees at 352 additional branches across Norway, and online banking and insurance systems for the alliance's 1.9 million customers.

Chinese 3D printer supplier Zhuhai CTC Electronic announces launch of Formaker project on Kickstarter

ZHUHAI, China, Aug. 12, 2015 /PR Newswire/ -- Zhuhai CTC Electronic Co., Ltd, a leading 3D printer manufacturer in China, announced the debut of its latest multi-functional 3D printer, the Formaker, on the world's biggest crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, kicking off a 30-day crowdfunding campaign.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150811/257570

The Formaker, priced at US$999 on the crowdfunding platform, deploys a modular design and integrates four powerful functionalities: high-precision 3D printing, CNC engraving, laser cutting and PCB etching, making the printer one of the most compelling and dedicated multi-functional desktop devices available in the market. Weighing in at 26 lbs., the Formaker features a robust metal structure and a color LCD touch screen allowing for interactive operation.

CTC Electronic, established in 2004, is China's biggest desktop 3D printer maker and has the world's largest manufacturing facility for desktop 3D printers: an 8,000 square-meter shop capable of outputting 5,000 units a month.

The Formaker is the result of a year-long joint effort of CTC Electronic's international engineering team led by Chris Donovan in the US and Don Mint in India and enhanced with the addition of Yang Ming in the UK, a specialist in structural design who joined the firm seven months ago.

The Formaker is a dual head 3D printer with a 225x145x150mm effective printing size that can print using two different materials simultaneously including 1.75mm PLA and ABS, nylon, high strength polystyrene and carbon fiber wood. 

With safety in mind, the Formaker is equipped with a low-power 350-milliwatt scanning laser, making it easy for the operator to carve a logo or image on card stock, leather or wood, or to create a design on paper.

The CNC module uses a complete set of milling tools, allowing the operator to carve any complex stereoscopic picture on soft wood or wood alternatives, acrylic, Lexan, brass, aluminum or plastic, as well as to produce circuit samples on PCB etchers.

The software, which was independently researched and developed, is compatible with third-party 3D printing processes, including MAKERBOT and CURA, providing an easy-to-use operational platform with effortless switching between CNC, LASER and PCB functions.

CTC Electronic PR manager Yoyo Hee said that one of the key goals through the entire creation and development process was to create a machine that would be affordable. The Formaker, similar in functionality to products currently selling at US$2,599, is positioned as a professional device for printers who want to design prototypes. The device, valued at several thousands of dollars, will be available at US$999 during the crowdfunding period.

Yoyo explained during the presentation that the team began designing the crowdfunding page on Kickstarter in July, with the aim of raising US$50,000 to kick off the project. Consumers who order the Formaker on Kickstarter during the 30-day crowdfunding period can expect to receive the product at the end of 2015 or at the beginning of 2016.

ADI on the Money with Anti-Fraud Innovation

BRADFORD, England, August 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Saltaire (Bradford) based technology research and development company ADI (Advanced
Digital Institute) [http://www.adi-uk.com/challenge ] has proved itself on the money quite
literally with the development of a new, anti-fraud gadget in conjunction with
Cumbria-based Innovia Systems.

    Verus(TM) H is a small, USB stick-sized, hand-held device designed for use within
retail and general commerce as a way of detecting suspect and counterfeit currency. It
will go into use from 2016 when the UK begins a conversion to more durable polymer notes,
similar to those used in Australia and 23 other nations.

    ADI worked closely with Innovia Systems, a division of the Innovia Group who are a
global leader in the supply of polymer for bank notes. They have been awarded the contract
to supply Guardian(R) polymer substrate to produce the new look and feel notes at the Bank
of England's printers.

    Francisco Lopez, MD of Innovia Systems, explained: "We approached ADI to develop the
product from the basic design stage through to production and we are delighted with the
outcome.

    "Verus(TM) H is being marketed globally to all nations that use polymer notes, however
it will be available in the UK from the end of the year. It will ensure that retailers
don't suffer from loss of revenue by identifying suspect notes immediately at the point of
sale," he added.

    George Bystryakov, ADI's Director of Engineering, commented: "Not since the conversion
to decimal currency in 1971 has there been such a major change to the monetary system in
the UK. Here at ADI we are proud to have played an important role in such an historical
event.

    "We got involved in the project around two years ago and it has evolved into ongoing
research and development liaison with Innovia.

    "The end result is a device that will act as a reliable deterrent against fraud. We
are all about creating ingenious solutions which is exactly what we have done here," added
George.

    ADI was founded in 2006 as a research and development innovation agency by Yorkshire
Forward. In 2010, with the disbandment of Yorkshire Forward, the company became
independent and has gone on to win a host of awards for its work in technology and
healthcare with private and public sector clients around the world.
