New Fluke Connect® Assets makes preventive maintenance practices possible for all maintenance managers

Software and wireless test tools offer easy installation and setup while helping prevent equipment failure

EVERETT, Wash., Aug. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Unplanned downtime due to equipment failure can cost manufacturers up to three percent of their revenue, according the U.S. Federal Energy Management Program. Manual methods of tracking equipment health to predict failures are time consuming and prone to errors and incomplete data, while existing computerized maintenance management systems can be costly and complex and often require significant IT resources to implement.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150713/235982

Fluke Connect(®) Assets changes the way equipment maintenance is documented, reported, and managed.

Fluke Connect(®) Assets is a cloud-based wireless system of software and test tools that gives maintenance managers a comprehensive view of all critical equipment -- including baseline, historical, and current test tool measurement data, current status, and past inspection data -- enabling them to set up and sustain a preventive maintenance (PM) or condition-based maintenance (CBM) system easily with minimal investment.

It features the industry's only wireless one-step measurement transfer from more than 30 Fluke Connect wireless test tools, eliminating manual recording of measurements so maintenance managers can be more confident that the equipment history is accurate.

The system's features allow maintenance managers to analyze multiple types of predictive data (for example, electrical, vibration, infrared images) all in one program, side by side, in a visual format that enables easy scanning. In fact, it's the first software that allows you to compare multiple measurement types in one system, making it easy to see correlations and spot problems. This intuitive display of multiple measurements enhances the productive use of data and the ability to identify a problem, since each measurement type tests a different aspect of equipment health and together they present a more complete picture.

Key features of Fluke Connect Assets include:

    --  Asset Health dashboard - is a hierarchy based overview of the status of
        all assets over time, with drill-downs to the individual asset record
        for more details. This permits managers to identify anomalies or
        correlations across equipment.

    --  Asset Analysis - is a record for each piece of equipment that is the
        single source for all of its maintenance information. Managers and
        technicians can trend and compare thermal, electrical and vibration data
        over time for each piece of equipment in order to make optimal repair
        and replacement decisions.
    --  Asset Status dashboard - allows managers to quickly scan the most recent
        status updates for key assets so they can better monitor team and
        equipment activity.
Entire maintenance teams can capture and share data via their smartphones regardless of their location using AutoRecord(TM) measurements to automatically record measurements from Fluke Connect wireless test tools, upload the data to Fluke Cloud(TM) storage and then assign it to a specific asset for sharing and analysis. Technicians can collaborate with their colleagues to discuss problems while sharing data and images in real time with ShareLive(TM) video calls, speeding up problem solving, decision-making and approvals.

With the Fluke Connect Assets system, maintenance managers and technicians generate more reliable data to make informed decisions about equipment health, reducing unexpected equipment downtime, improving costs, and enhancing the efficiency of their teams.

Saving Weight, Improving Reliability: Peterbilt Offers Maxwell's Engine Start Module

Maxwell Technologies' ultracapacitor-powered ESM available on Peterbilt Models 579, 567

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: MXWL), a leading developer and manufacturer of ultracapacitor-based energy storage products, announced today that Peterbilt Motors Company, a leading designer and manufacturer of premium trucks, is now offering Maxwell's ultracapacitor-powered Engine Start Module (ESM) on new Model 579 and 567 trucks as a factory-installed option. Maxwell's ESM enables fleets to give their drivers the superior starting reliability they demand while increasing payload. The ultracapacitor replaces one traditional battery - reducing weight by up to 60 pounds - and is dedicated to starting the vehicle. This means power is always available to start the vehicle, reducing unplanned downtime.

Maxwell's field-proven ESM gives truck operators assurance their engines will start reliably, especially for operations with multiple starts and stops per day or that use the lift gate or other auxiliary battery-powered equipment while the truck is off. Additionally, the ultracapacitor is not affected by hotel loads - lights, HVAC, television and other in-cab or sleeper-powered devices - which can drain power during extended use.

"Superior uptime and reliability are two advantages our customers expect from Peterbilt, and this new technology is one way to help bring those to even greater levels," said Anthony Gansle, Peterbilt marketing manager of on-highway products. "Our aerodynamic Model 579 and vocational Model 567 equipped with the Maxwell ESM will provide customers with greater confidence that their vehicles will be ready to move when they need to move."

Dr. Franz Fink, CEO of Maxwell Technologies, said, "Expanding our Engine Start Module's availability in North America is an ongoing goal, and our relationship with Peterbilt is the next step in meeting the demands of our customers in the United States and Canada. Now more fleet owners and operators will be able to benefit from the reliable performance of the ESM in providing starting assurance for on-time deliveries and improved uptime."

Maxwell's ESM uses ultracapacitor technology to improve the performance of engine cranking, helping heavy-duty engines to reliably start in temperatures ranging from -40 degrees to +149 degrees Fahrenheit with Maxwell's ESM installed.

Netlist Demonstrates PCIe 3.0 NVRAM For Enterprise Storage And Data Center At Flash Memory Summit

-Highlights EXPRESSvault(TM) EV3 PCIe 3.0 NVRAM performance-

-To Participate in "Flash on the Memory Bus" Panel Discussion-

IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Netlist, Inc. (NASDAQ: NLST), a leading provider of high performance memory storage solutions for the cloud computing and storage markets, announced its participation at the SNIA Flash Memory Summit Conference where it will provide a demonstration of its recently launched EXPRESSvault EV3 PCI Express® (PCIe®) 3.0 Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM).  Netlist, a member of the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA), will showcase EXPRESSvault's bandwidth and I/Os per second (IOPS) on a Dell R630 Haswell based Server at the SNIA booth 820 during the Conference which is taking place this week in Santa Clara, CA.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150225/177763LOGO

Mario Martinez, Senior Director of Marketing at Netlist, will participate in the Flash on the Memory Bus Panel Discussion taking place on Wednesday, August 12th from 9:45-10:50 AM PST.  The Panel will discuss flash on the memory bus, one of the hottest subsystem solutions to emerge recently.  They will examine how high speed and low latency FLASH in DIMM form factor on the memory bus has opened up a wide range of new markets.

"We are thrilled to showcase the EXPRESSvault EV3's ["EV3"] plug-and-play PCIe connectivity at this premier industry event," said Chris Lopes VP of Sales and Co-founder at Netlist.  "EV3 provides impressive performance and is ready to use the day it ships. There are no motherboard, BIOS, and Memory Reference Code (MRC) adjustments required and no need to rewrite any of the software applications. This unparalleled simplicity for a high performance solution will further accelerate the product's adoption into the market."

Netlist's EV3 family is a new ultra-fast storage class memory tier designed to accelerate mission critical applications in scale-out storage, all-flash arrays, database systems, distributed file systems, and server-side caching.  The product can be used as both a block storage device and a persistent memory extension mapped directly to the host.  In addition, the EV3 can be applied to storage systems using inline deduplication and compression, encryption, indexing and mapping.

EV3 is the latest enterprise class product from Netlist, based on the industry-standard PCIe 3.0 interface to enable plug-and-play PCIe connectivity.  The half-height and half-length card combines the high speed and endurance of DRAM with the non-volatility of MLC NAND flash to deliver sustainable performance of more than 400K I/Os per second (IOPS) with sub-microsecond latency--performance far superior than today's fastest Solid State Drives (SSD).  EV3 is an ideal match for 1U server and storage solutions in next-generation data centers for cloud computing that integrate IBM POWER or Intel Haswell/Broadwell CPUs and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and PCI Express SSD products.

Key competitive attributes of the EXPRESSvault EV3 include:

    --  Virtually unlimited write endurance
    --  Fast backup times: 4GB ~ 24 seconds, 8GB ~ 48 seconds, 16GB ~ 96 seconds
    --  Supercap rating: 5 year @ 55C ambient, UL certification
    --  Supercap charge time - less than 4 min
    --  Extensive health monitoring, error reporting with predictive failure
        warnings, and backup, restore, power, NAND life status

SMI Completes OEM Eye Tracking Platform to Cover All Consumer Displays

SIGGRAPH 2015: SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI) completes mass market eye tracking platform with reference designs for desktop, mobile and wearable AR/VR computing and display formats ready for consumer and industrial OEMs

BOSTON and TELTOW, Germany, August 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    SensoMotoric Instruments [http://www.smivision.com/en.html ] (SMI), a world leader in
Eye Tracking Technology for more than two decades, announces today the completion of its
OEM Eye Tracking Platform for integration into all consumer display formats. The SMI OEM
Eye Tracking Platform contains reference designs for seamless integration of eye tracking
into consumer tablets, laptops, desktop computers, kiosk systems, virtual reality HMDs and
augmented reality smart glasses. Omnivision's leading sensor technology contributes to the
miniature form factor and mass market cost level of the new eye tracking platform for all

    Visit SMI booth 1022 at the Siggraph Conference in Los Angeles (Aug 11 - 13, 2015) to
experience the benefits of eye tracking for a broad range of scientific, professional and
consumer applications. 

    The integration of eye tracking into user interfaces is truly game-changing for how
users will experience and employ digital devices in the future. Gaze based interaction can
be entirely hands-free and integrated with other modalities, for more efficiency and
safety in mobile applications. Attentive and context-aware user interfaces anticipate user
needs, optimize information processing and focus information content.  By adding
information to a screen, or by superimposing information onto real objects, the user has
instant access to gaze-sensitive, context relevant information.

    Animating rendered characters and avatars with natural gaze, eye and blink behavior,
creates a completely different level of affection and empathy in social presence and
interactions. SMI's eye tracking technology can provide the biometrics to identify and
mimic user behavior in virtual spaces.

    For virtual and augmented reality products, visual stress and dizziness are reduced
through personal display calibration. This procedure adjusts the scene projection to the
user's eye physiognomy on the basis of continuous and accurate measurements of the user's
biometric data. In VR applications, low latency gaze data are used for foveated rendering,
which optimizes visualization as well as the assignment of processing resources.

    SMI has more than two decades of experience with OEMs and globally renowned research
institutes. SMI Eye Tracking Technology has been used by more than 5 million users under
the broadest range of conditions. This is complemented by a track record of more than 20
successful eye tracking integrations into commercial OEM devices. The latest eye tracking
platform is proven with 100k+ users and SMI's Oculus Rift DK2 eye tracking upgrade is a
gold standard for HMDs.

    "SMI's eye tracking technology is extremely robust across a wide range of applications
operating in dramatically different lighting," said Chris Yiu, senior strategic marketing
manager at OmniVision. "This is critical in bringing eye tracking out of controlled
environments to mass market use in fields where eye tracking and gaze interaction can
provide great benefits, such as gaming, training, automotive, mobile devices and info
terminals."

    Christian Villwock, Director of SMI's OEM Business Unit: "SMI has an unmatched track
record with OEMs and users. Based on this experience, our technology outperforms in
accuracy, robustness and freedom of movement. We are looking forward to seeing many new
applications and insights enabled by SMI's world's first eye tracking platform covering
all major consumer displays."

Atmel Introduces World's Most Innovative 2-pin, Self-Powered Serial EEPROM Targeting the IoT, Battery, Consumable and Cable Identification Markets

With a Novel Parasitic Power Scheme, New Single-Wire Family Requires Just One Data and One Ground Pin Eliminating the Need for Power Source/Vcc and Features Plug-and-Play 64-bit Serial Number for Identification

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Atmel(®) Corporation (NASDAQ: ATML), a global leader in microcontroller (MCU) and touch solutions, today launched the industry's most innovative Single-Wire EEPROM with only two-pins--a data pin and ground pin for operation--making the new family ideal for the Internet of Things (IoT), wearables, consumable, battery and cable identification markets. The new devices are self-powered, eliminating the need for a power source or Vcc pin, with a parasitic power scheme over the data pin. These devices provide best-in-class ultra-low power standby of 700nA, 200uA for write current, and 80uA for read current at 25 degrees Celsius--delivering just one-third of the power of leading competitors.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20120530/SF15228LOGO

With confined spacing in smaller IoT, wearables, battery and cable identification applications, Atmel's AT21CS01/11 devices eliminate the need for external capacitors and rectifiers with its parasitic power scheme over a single data pin. Additionally, the new devices have an ultra-high write endurance capability to allow more than one million cycles for each memory location to meet the requirements for today's high-write endurance applications.

Cypress Expands HyperFlash Line of the Industry's Fastest NOR Flash Memories

New 256Mb Device Delivers Up to 333 MBps of Read Bandwidth in a Low-Pin-Count Package; Addresses a Broad Range of the Highest-Performance Systems

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq: CY), a global leader in embedded systems solutions, today expanded its NOR HyperFlash(TM) product line with the qualification of a new 256Mb memory. The 3.0V S26KL256S HyperFlash device is the latest addition to the industry's first flash memory family that supports the high-bandwidth, low-pin-count HyperBus(TM) interface. The device is ideal for high-performance applications, such as automotive instrument clusters, industrial automation, communication systems, and medical equipment, which need the highest read bandwidth to enable the fastest boot time for instant-on requirements, along with a low-pin-count interface to reduce package size and PCB cost.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150808/257039

Running at frequencies up to 166MHz, HyperFlash products can achieve Double-Data-Rate (DDR) read bandwidths as high as 333 MBps for 1.8V products and 200 MBps for 3.0V products. The 256Mb HyperFlash device is offered in a space-saving 48-mm(2) 24-ball package, and it delivers high reliability and extended temperature range of -40 degrees C to +125 degrees C. Cypress's HyperFlash memory family offers 3.0V and 1.8V versions and includes three densities: 128Mb, 256Mb and 512Mb. Cypress HyperFlash devices provide a seamless migration path from Quad SPI to dual Quad SPI to HyperFlash memory, allowing system applications to be scaled to different levels of flash performance when paired with compatible controllers. This provides OEMs the ability to offer different product models with a single design.

"With the trend toward instant-on systems for automotive, industrial and communication applications, we are seeing more and more interest from chipset manufacturers for the high-bandwidth, low-pin-count HyperBus interface, and increased demand from our customers in these segments for our HyperFlash and HyperRAM(TM) memories," said Hiro Ino, Senior Director of the NOR Flash Product Family at Cypress. "Our new 3.0V, 256Mb HyperFlash device is part of our plan to provide a range of voltage and density options to help meet this demand."

Originally announced in 2014, the HyperBus interface is supported by an increasing number of chipset suppliers adopting the HyperBus high-performance solution for their next-generation products. Processors that have been publically announced to support the HyperBus interface include the Freescale MAC57D5xx Automotive DIS MCU, the Cypress FM4 S6E2DH general purpose MCU and the Cypress Traveo(TM) S6J324C and S6J326C automotive MCUs. Cypress is working closely with many processor companies and dozens of platforms are currently in development to support the HyperBus interface.

About Cypress HyperBus Interface
The efficient 12-pin Cypress HyperBus interface consists of an 8-pin address/data bus, a differential clock (2 signals), a chip select and a read data strobe for the controller--all of which help reduce the overall cost of the system through reduced pin count. Memories based on the interface enable systems with faster response times and rich user experiences. The Cypress HyperBus interface enables a wide range of high-performance applications, such as automotive instrument clusters, infotainment / navigation systems, handheld displays, digital cameras, projectors, industrial automation, communication systems, medical equipment, and home appliances.

Availability
Cypress's 3.0V, 256Mb S26KL256S HyperFlash is sampling now with production expected in the third quarter of 2015. It will be available in both 3.0V and 1.8V versions packaged in a market-compatible 6 mm x 8 mm ball grid array (BGA). It currently supports the Industrial-plus temperature range of -40 degrees C to +105 degrees C. Cypress will offer support for the extended temperature range of -40 degrees C to +125 degrees C at a later date. Both the 3.0V and 1.8V versions of the 512Mb HyperFlash are sampling now, and the 128Mb will begin sampling in the third quarter of 2015.

EDO Introduces World's First 6-inch 4K AMOLED Panel, Aiming at Virtual Reality Market

SHANGHAI, Aug. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- EverDisplay Optronics (EDO) announced this week the launch of the world's first 6-inch 4K AMOLED display.

Although 4K TV is already commonplace among the consumer market, replicating the same resolution onto a mere 6-inch panel, a huge PPI hike up to 734, presented a formidable, hundred-fold scale challenge in terms of both design and process. The successful turning-on of the 6-inch 4K AMOLED panel has opened up wider possibilities for newer applications, such as virtual reality (VR), and today the sample achieved yet another milestone in demonstrating its capability and commitment in the field.

Whether smartphone display demands super high resolution remains to be seen, but a host of new applications would definitely use much more pixel packed displays. "Visually a person immerses himself into a faux real surrounding by means of VR devices. To do so, it requires exponentially higher PPI in display, far beyond what current market offers. Using today's UHD (4K) display turn-on as a launch pad, EDO is determined to enter the VR market." says Dr. David Chu, EDO's CEO.

VR has been recognized as a new application with great potential, with leading products from Korea, Japan and the US all featuring AMOLED displays. More than perfect color, AMOLED displays offer low latency, real darkness with superb contrast ratio and minimal hazardous high-energy blue ray. All these hit the bullseye of desirable features by VR devices. As the VR market grows, so should AMOLED.

EDO was built from day one to focus on AMOLED display in small and medium size applications. As a new player, EDO has been consistently raising the bar not only to challenge itself, but also quickly catch up on the industry, first with HD resolution from last March to FHD, then WQHD (2.5K) and UHD (4K) today, all done in less than 18 months. With its 6-inch 4K display, EDO has projected itself to the forefront of first tier in the industry.

EDO spares no effort when it comes to working on AMOLED leading edge technology development and strives to bring excellent products to enable new applications and enhance old ones.

About EDO

EverDisplay Optronics was established in 2012 in Shanghai as a new player pioneering AMOLED manufacturing technology in the Greater China region. The company has since grown remarkably from merely a plot of barren farmland on the outskirts of Shanghai to achieve full production capacity within the space of two years.

The First "Intel Inside" Desktop 3D Printer - the "mostfun Pro" - to Crowdfund on Kickstarter

CHENGDU, China, Aug. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The "mostfun Pro", the world's first "Intel Inside" desktop 3D printer and the result of a joint collaboration between Chengdu mostfun S&T Co,. Ltd and Intel, will seek crowdfunding on Kickstarter, the world's leading crowdfunding platform, starting from August 11. 

A few backers had a try at some high priced 3D printing technologies on Kickstarter in 2012 and 2013, and these initial efforts were followed by hundreds of thousands of backers who took home low-cost 3D printers via Kickstarter during the following two years. However, the backers were not satisfied with the user experience and their comments on Kickstarter demonstrated that they expected improvements especially in terms of ease of use, stability and after-sale service.

After a comprehensive review of 3D printing projects featuring FDM, SLA and DLP printing technologies, three technologies which successfully completed crowdfunding campaigns on Kickstarter and raised funds ranging from US$200,000 to US$3,000,000 based on units priced from US$2,500 to as low as $199, we came to the conclusion that 3D printers are evolving from being technology-driven to being product-driven. In addition to low price and originality in design, overall product quality became a priority for backers.

mostfun CEO Lvzhou Chen said: "A good 3D printer should be reliable and easy to use. It should require no manual to go through to get it started and should always deliver steady performance over the long term. This is exactly what we want to bring to you with the 'mostfun Pro'."

Ease of use as well as long term stability are the two features that have been specifically optimized in the mostfun Pro as a result of an analysis of the main drawbacks in a number of desktop 3D printers currently available on the market. On one hand, mostfun decided on the Intel Edison, which allows users to access the control panel by scanning a QR code on their mobile device as well as direct log-in via a browser, in addition to a number of convenient and intelligent functions such as power-off protection and built-in printer memory in a move to offer a "plug and print" experience. On the other hand, the unit features a brand new extruder, the BAU, which is compatible with a wide range of materials including PLA, ABS, TPU, WAX and HIPS. The extruder has built-in auto-calibration to offer stable and high-precision output. Last but not the least, "mostfun Pro", with Intel Inside's reliability and technology guarantee, is priced very attractively on Kickstarter.

Each product is an exercise in the evolution from raw technology to product maturity and user friendliness. Backers will gain a new and rewarding experience from the maturity of "mostfun Pro" 3D's technology and the stability delivered by Intel Inside.
