Brand New Technology to Replace Batteries and Charging

Electronic circuit that produces energy; DougieTek seeks funding to develop production prototype - poise to disrupt our $6 trillion energy market.

TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- We love smart phones, but not their long residual charge time requirement; now, your next smart device could ditch batteries altogether with a brand new technology.

Electronic circuits consume energy; our phones, tablets, televisions, and so on; but, how about a circuit that produces energy?

RADRE2nd is such circuit. The acronym meaning - "Regeneration of Animated Domains Rhythmic Energy".

RADRE2nd - a battery alternative - is smaller in size than your phone's battery, while having a life expectancy of 2-3 years.

This brand new technology is revolutionary - yet still the company, DougieTek, anchors its core business on the "life changing" services that RADRE2nd provides; which are mobility, accessibility, reliability, and sustainability.

The World's most convenient energy source is ideal for our "mobilized" lifestyle. Imagine just how good it will feel when you're liberated from "dying battery anxiety".

Consumers will be required to pay a monthly flat rate for such service. Follow the "ditch-your-battery evolution" on Twitter.

DougieTek has surpassed proof-of-concept prototyping with Seed funding raised from Family and Friends investments.

The company will be seeking, possibly Venture Capital, funds north of $60M in investment to start developing its production prototype and manufacturing blueprint - inching closer to seize opportunities within our $6 Trillion Global Energy Market.

DougieTek's enchanting claims envision products with lucrative potential and international appeal, reasonably, the company's IPs are shrouded in secrecy and miss-directions - an abrasive strategy devised to retain competitive edge and commercial value. This is reflected in the company's low profile R&D strategy thus far, and will be emphasize in the actual product - "anti-copy engineering" design.

The technology, now entering final stage of development, will be integrated within mobile devices as a battery replacement; while after-market Power Modules with monthly contract billing and prepaid service, provide options.

RADRE2nd is the brain-child of renewable energy researcher Nathaniel Douglas. Nathaniel - the solo developer - is a Pioneer in energy recapturing research, and whom in 2007 had published an article entitled "Inventor Develops an Electrical Apparatus that Produces FREE Energy", where he briefly describes his first major breakthrough in this field; for trade secrecy, scientific papers were never published.

Nathaniel later emphasized that the word "free" only meant sustainable, and that he had no affiliation with free-energy enthusiast groups.

You may recall from science class that stagnated magnetic fields store and release energy when animated; RADRE2nd does this effectively, so efficiently that the system is self-sustaining.

RADRE2nd is poised to revolutionize energy production, and is expected to solicit scientific debates for years to come.

Technology companies seeking a competitive edge are encouraged to inquire about RADRE2nd validity and early investment advantages.

Ideally, pre-venture (Angel) investment of $75,000.00 will provide gratifying leverage.

MyRadar Marches Toward TV 3.0 with Meteorologist Insights, Apple Watch App, Wind Animations and Increased Capacity

ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ACME AtronOmatic, LLC announces a significant update to its popular MyRadar Weather Radar app with numerous new features and capabilities.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150806/256362

First in the lineup, Meteorologist Insights is an innovative new feature which allows the company's full-time meteorologists to illustrate specific, localized weather patterns directly within the MyRadar app.  "It's essentially a broadband 'telestrator', just like you might expect to see on a traditional weather broadcast on TV," said Andy Green, president of the company.  "Our staff of in-house meteorologists can highlight specific weather phenomena right through the app, sharing their professional insight as to what causes certain weather patterns and offering timely, relevant details on expected weather and potential outcomes."

The new feature is the initial piece of a broader move into the mobile video arena.  The company has been building out the infrastructure to begin covering the nation's weather through live, on-air coverage with meteorologists and local storm chasers using streaming video from directly within the MyRadar app, and the Insights feature will combine the expertise of video personalities with the broad reach of the MyRadar mobile app.

The Meteorologist Insights feature is part of the basic MyRadar package and is available on iOS and Windows, and is forthcoming on the Android versions of the app.

Also announced, the long-awaited MyRadar Apple Watch app has been released.  The app provides convenient, quick glances and instant views of the radar around the user's immediate area, as well as current conditions and in-depth forecast for the user's current location.  The Watch app takes advantage of MyRadar's proprietary high-definition radar that users have come to appreciate in the full mobile app.

Additionally, a new animated "surface winds" feature has been released for the Android and iOS versions of the app.  The new feature animates surface winds around the United States showing both direction and intensity in a visually stunning display, and provides additional insight to the weather conditions around the country.  The animated wind data, combined with animated radar data, provides a more complete picture of the weather patterns and how they play out throughout the region.

Lastly, huge increases in server capacity and network infrastructure will help the app better handle increased spikes in activity during periods of inclement weather.  "Our in-house weather data processing engine has been enhanced greatly by bringing on additional server capacity and extensive software updates, so we're much better positioned to handle the large spikes in activity that we see during severe weather flareups, such as tornado and thunderstorm outbreaks."

MyRadar is the most popular mobile weather radar app in the United States, with over 17 million downloads across most major platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows, and Amazon Fire TV.  MyRadar has been helping keep people safe from severe weather since 2007; from airline pilots to the casual user, MyRadar's severe weather alerts, hurricane tracker, and detailed storm information combined with its proprietary high-definition radar make the app a go-to weather center for millions of users every day.  For more information, check out myradar.com.

ACME AtronOmatic, LLC, has been developing innovative software since 2000 in markets such as aviation, weather, and social networking.  ACME has offices and development teams in Orlando, Florida, and Portland, Oregon.  For more information, contact media@acmeaom.com, or check out acmeaom.com on the web.  We're hiring software engineers!  For career information, send your resume to jobs@acmeaom.com.

SMI Shows First Eye Tracking Upgrade for Augmented Reality Glasses

SensoMotoric Instrument (SMI) adds eye tracking to Epson Moverio BT-200 for hands-free interaction, gaze sensitive on-demand content, and personalized visualization in augmented reality.

BOSTON and TELTOW, Germany, August 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    At the 2015 Siggraph Conference, SensoMotoric Instruments
[http://www.smivision.com/en.html ] (SMI) shows the world's first Eye Tracking Integration
for augmented reality [http://www.smivision.com/augmented-reality-eyetracking-glasses ],
based on Epson's Moverio BT-200 see-through head mounted display and on SMI's mobile eye
tracking platform. With this new solution, unprecedented quality and efficiency is brought
to personalized visualization and to multi-modal, hands-free interaction with
context-sensitive displays. For the first time, professionals and researchers can
integrate gaze, and visual attention in AR applications.

         (Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150806/256308 )

    SMI will demonstrate the solution at Siggraph in Los Angeles, booth 1022, August 11-13,
2015.  

    One critical component for a good AR user experience is the ability to accurately
overlay and add content to objects, as if pinning it to them. To achieve this, precise
knowledge about the users' physiognomy and gaze is required. SMI's advanced eye tracking
algorithms offer this quality and add continuous adaption of the visualization to the
user's biometric information, replacing current cumbersome and error-prone display
calibration routines.

    Visual orientation, search and inspection procedures are often crucial, yet
error-prone, tasks in manufacturing, logistics, technical service, medical and other
professional fields. Gaze-sensitive information processing supports tasks by exploiting
the user's attention, e.g. by providing "in-the-loop" gaze guidance during procedures that
are quality-sensitive and visually complex. This can be done by structuring, guiding and
monitoring the search, and the visual intake progress. Eye tracking enables objective
assessment and documentation of what is seen. Gaze overlay also allows for transfer of
expertise and can make expert knowledge and procedures explicit and transparent to others.

    With eye tracking in AR Displays, context sensitive information can be provided to the
user exactly when he needs it, where he needs it. Superimposing information and
instructions onto real objects gives the user access to instant 'at-a-glance' and
on-demand information, such as condition of cargo, health data of patients, or performance
data of machines. SMI's eye tracking integration into multimodal interaction helps to
realize convenient, hands-free device and application operation in these challenging
situations and environments.

    "I believe that eye-tracking is one of the last remaining critical interaction
mechanisms that will enable digital eyewear to be intuitive for end users and SMI is the
clear leader in this space," says Pete Wassell, CEO and Co-Founder of Augmate.

    Professor Dr. Thomas Schack, who leads the research group "Neurocognition and Action -
Biomechanics" (NCA) at the Cluster of Excellence Cognitive Interactive Technology (CITEC)
at Bielefeld University: "SMI's AR eye tracking is the technology platform that helps us
realize a unique research project at CITEC, funded by the German Federal Ministry for
Education and Research. ADAMAAS focuses on the development of a mobile adaptive assistance
system in the form of intelligent glasses."

    "SMI Eye Tracking for Augmented Reality Glasses completes our broad range of
innovative eye tracking solutions for researchers and developers," says Eberhard Schmidt,
Managing Director at SMI. "Many AR applications need and will greatly benefit from eye
tracking for visualization and interaction purposes. With this latest addition, our eye
tracking platform spans all relevant display categories from desktop over handheld and
mobile to HMD and Smartglasses for VR and AR. According to market researchers, the AR
smartglass market will grow tremendously to 100 million units in 2018 and it will be as
big as the smartphone market in 10 years. We think that eye tracking will be of critical
importance to equip AR devices and applications with the high-quality user experience to
reach such numbers."

    The SMI AR Eye Tracking upgrade package to the Moverio BT-200 comes with an SDK for
easy creation of and integration with applications for the rapidly growing smart glasses
and augmented reality applications market. Among other functionalities, the SMI SDK allows
access to real-time streaming of gaze data synchronized with the AR display content.

Speaking Pictures App VoxWeb now Live in the US and Europe

SAN FRANCISCO, August 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Speaking pictures social network VoxWeb, today announced the launch of its iOS and
Android apps in entire North America, Europe, South-Asia and Australia. The speaking
'orange line picture' app was released gradually in more than fifty countries over the
last five days.

    VoxWeb iOS and Android apps allows creation of speaking pictures by providing an
option to add voice to an image for up to 11 seconds. A speaking picture is depicted as a
picture with an orange line beneath the image. The created speaking pic can be sent
inter-personally to contacts in the VoxWeb network or shared publicly to followers in the
social section of VoxWeb. When any user receives or comes across a picture with an orange
line then he/she can touch the pic to hear it.

    Within few hours of the launch, some amazing speaking pics and speaking selfies were
created and shared from university campuses, Champs Elysees in Paris, Golden Gate Bridge
in San Francisco and many renowned places.

    "Nothing captures a moment and fires imagination better than a speaking picture.
Through selfies and group-photos in concerts or stadiums to incredible travel pics with
mood of streets to emotional selfies and special family photos, speaking pics or vox-pics
will enable every internet user to capture and share a moment like never before. The
experience of consuming a speaking pic is so amazing that after that you would look out
for an orange line below any pic you come across. The mind literally swims after consuming
a pic with voice," said Yash Mishra, IIT Kanpur grad and inventor of speaking orange line
pics.

    User experience and network structure 

    In technology and user experience, anything that saves a step delights users. Through
VoxWeb App a user can give perspective to a pic without breaking momentum with QWERTY
keyboard by simply adding a voice or capturing ambient noise on the fly.

    Speaking orange line pics are shared on a very different VoxWeb social network. The
network structure of VoxWeb is designed by giving preference to communication over sharing
potential making it a communication-first social network. "VoxWeb network structure or
feed algorithm does not come in the way of content creator and its willful audience, thus
shifting the power back to content creators from network algorithms," added Yash Mishra.

    VoxWeb will be made available to the rest of the world over the next 6-8 weeks.

Wenger Introduces Transcend(TM) Active Acoustic System at Wartburg College

Simplified Design Transforms Any Space for Optimal Acoustics at an Affordable Price

OWATONNA, Minn., Aug. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Wenger Corporation, the leader in stage, sound and storage solutions for performance spaces, is currently completing the first installation of its new Transcend(TM) Active Acoustic System for indoor performance spaces at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa. The leading-edge digital signal processing (DSP) technology was developed in partnership with HARMAN specifically for variable acoustics. Wartburg will use Transcend's active acoustic simulations to transform its midcentury Neumann Auditorium into a state-of-the-art, multipurpose performance space for its music programs, speeches and special events. Transcend is designed for easy, minimally invasive installation, and will be operational this fall.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150805/255914

Transcend gives facility managers the ability to enhance acoustic environments in virtually any space: performing arts centers, auditoriums, theatres, opera houses, arenas and worship spaces. For existing facilities, Transcend makes the performance space a multipurpose venue without the need for costly and time-consuming renovations. For new multipurpose facilities under development, the Transcend system offers a high-performance, affordable solution for acoustical flexibility. Transcend's active acoustics algorithm results in a system that requires fewer microphones and speakers to provide a more reliable and stable system. This allows for streamlined, lower-cost installations than other systems on the market. It also features a BLU-link digital audio bus for simpler audio connections.

"With advanced HARMAN technology, Transcend provides superior performance with excellent value compared to other systems on the market," commented Ron Freiheit, Director of Design Engineering at Wenger and Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America. "To make the system as cost-effective as possible, we developed a purpose-designed DSP system explicitly for active acoustics. This provides for a reliable, affordable, easy-to-operate system. Transcend is simply a sound investment."

With the Transcend system, venues can accommodate a greater variety of programming, satisfying performers and audiences. The acoustics of any environment can be enhanced; suddenly an intimate black box theater can have the lively reverb of a grand cathedral. Performers hear themselves and each other better, which improves musicianship and sense of ensemble. With Transcend, any room can have acoustics tailored for any type of performance, from a live band to a full choir to the spoken word. The listening experience for the audience will also be energized throughout the entire venue - even in hard-to-hear sections such as under the balcony.

"You can virtually create any acoustic you want. It's limitless," says Wartburg Director of Choral Activities Dr. Lee Nelson. "I was blown away by the authentic sound of the acoustic. That's what we're always doing as performers: trying to create a natural feel. You can make it as 'wet' or as 'dry' as you want. I'm very excited about the possibilities this brings to our concert hall."

Wenger developed the Transcend system in cooperation with industry leader HARMAN, utilizing Lexicon active acoustic processing and bundled with premium audio components. BLU-link high-speed digital audio transport allows all components to communicate easily with a state-of-the-art dedicated processor for active acoustics. Through the Audio Architect software and HiQnet(TM), the entire system can be managed remotely with a tablet and visual monitoring. The configuration and control capabilities of the Transcend system feature up to 16 inputs and expandable, independent 4-zone capability. While harnessing powerful technology, the Transcend system offers simple, intuitive operation tailored to suit customer preferences - from basic push button to touch-screen interface.

Watson to Gain Ability to "See" with Planned $1B Acquisition of Merge Healthcare

Deal Brings Watson Technology Together with Leader in Medical Images

ARMONK, N.Y. and CHICAGO, Aug. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced that Watson will gain the ability to "see" by bringing together Watson's advanced image analytics and cognitive capabilities with data and images obtained from Merge Healthcare Incorporated's (NASDAQ: MRGE) medical imaging management platform.  IBM plans to acquire Merge, a leading provider of medical image handling and processing, interoperability and clinical systems designed to advance healthcare quality and efficiency, in an effort to unlock the value of medical images to help physicians make better patient care decisions.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150806/256335

Merge's technology platforms are used at more than 7,500 U.S. healthcare sites, as well as most of the world's leading clinical research institutes and pharmaceutical firms to manage a growing body of medical images.  The vision is that these organizations could use the Watson Health Cloud to surface new insights from a consolidated, patient-centric view of current and historical images, electronic health records, data from wearable devices and other related medical data, in a HIPAA-enabled environment.

Under terms of the transaction, Merge shareholders would receive $7.13 per share in cash, for a total transaction value of $1 billion.  The closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory review, Merge shareholder approval, and other customary closing conditions, and is anticipated to occur later this year.  It is IBM's third major health-related acquisition - and the largest - since launching its Watson Health unit in April, following Phytel (population health) and Explorys (cloud based healthcare intelligence).

"As a proven leader in delivering healthcare solutions for over 20 years, Merge is a tremendous addition to the Watson Health platform.  Healthcare will be one of IBM's biggest growth areas over the next 10 years, which is why  we are making a major investment to drive industry transformation and to facilitate a higher quality of care," said John Kelly, senior vice president, IBM Research and Solutions Portfolio. "Watson's powerful cognitive and analytic capabilities, coupled with those from Merge and our other major strategic acquisitions, position IBM to partner with healthcare providers, research institutions, biomedical companies, insurers and other organizations committed to changing the very nature of health and healthcare in the 21(st) century. Giving Watson 'eyes' on medical images unlocks entirely new possibilities for the industry."

Teaching Watson to "See" Medical Images

The planned acquisition bolsters IBM's strategy to add rich image analytics with deep learning to the Watson Health platform - in effect, advancing Watson beyond natural language and giving it the ability to "see."  Medical images are by far the largest and fastest-growing data source in the healthcare industry and perhaps the world - IBM researchers estimate that they account for at least 90% of all medical data today - but they also present challenges that need to be addressed:

    --  The volume of medical images can be overwhelming to even the most
        sophisticated specialists - radiologists in some hospital emergency
        rooms are presented with as many as 100,000 images a day(1).
    --  Tools to help clinicians extract insights from medical images remain
        very limited, requiring most analysis to be done manually.
    --  At a time when the most powerful insights come at the intersection of
        diverse data sets (medical records, lab tests, genomics, etc.), medical
        images remain largely disconnected from mainstream health information.
IBM plans to leverage the Watson Health Cloud to analyze and cross-reference medical images against a deep trove of lab results, electronic health records, genomic tests, clinical studies and other health-related data sources, already representing 315 billion data points and 90 million unique records.  Merge's clients could compare new medical images with a patient's image history as well as populations of similar patients to detect changes and anomalies. Insights generated by Watson could then help healthcare providers in fields including radiology, cardiology, orthopedics and ophthalmology to pursue more personalized approaches to diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of patients.

Cutting-edge image analytics projects underway in IBM Research's global labs suggest additional areas where progress can be made.  They include teaching Watson to filter clinical and diagnostic imaging information to help clinicians identify anomalies and form recommendations, which could help reduce physician viewing loads and increase physician effectiveness.

"As Watson evolves, we are tackling more complex and meaningful problems by constantly evaluating bigger and more challenging data sets," Kelly said. "Medical images are some of the most complicated data sets imaginable, and there is perhaps no more important area in which researchers can apply machine learning and cognitive computing.  That's the real promise of cognitive computing and its artificial intelligence components - helping to make us healthier and to improve the quality of our lives."

Watson Health and Merge Capabilities

Will Benefit Researchers, Clinicians and Individuals

IBM's Watson Health unit plans to bring together Merge's product and solution offerings with existing expertise in cognitive computing, population health, and cloud-based healthcare intelligence offerings to:

    --  Offer researchers insights to aid clinical trial design, monitoring and
        evaluation;
    --  Help clinicians to efficiently identify options for the diagnosis,
        treatment and monitoring a broad array of health conditions such as
        cancer, stroke and heart disease;
    --  Enable providers and payers to integrate and optimize patient engagement
        in alignment with meaningful use and value-based care guidelines; and
    --  Support researchers and healthcare professionals as they advance the
        emerging discipline of population health, which aims to optimize an
        individual's care by identifying trends in large numbers of people with
        similar health status.
"Merge is widely recognized for delivering market leading imaging workflow and electronic data capture solutions," said Justin Dearborn, chief executive officer, Merge. "Today's announcement is an exciting step forward for our employees and clients.  Becoming a part of IBM will allow us to expand our global scale and deliver added value and insight to our clients through Watson's advanced analytic and cognitive computing capabilities."

"Combining Merge's leading medical imaging solutions with the world-class machine learning and analytics capabilities of IBM's Watson Health is the future of healthcare technology," said Michael W. Ferro, Jr., Merge's chairman. "Merge's leading technology and proven expertise represent a unique combination of assets that will deliver unparalleled value to Watson Health clients. Together, we will unlock unprecedented new opportunities to improve patient diagnostics and deliver enhanced care."

Toshiba Launches 16MP CMOS Image Sensors Targeting Smartphones And Tablets

New low-power sensors feature PDAF technology, supports 30fps output at 4K resolution

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs, today launched its first 16-megapixel (MP) CMOS image sensors: T4KC3 and T4KC3-121, which includes phase detection auto-focus (PDAF). Designed for use in smartphones and tablets, the backside-illuminated (BSI) chips are among the world's smallest class of CMOS image sensors([1]), and achieve both high-performance image capture and low power consumption.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141006/150586

The functional range of the new sensors supports users in capturing beautiful images and movies. The T4KC3-121 is the first Toshiba sensor to feature PDAF technology, which makes it easier for mobile devices to capture both still and moving objects. This approach to AF technology, also used in single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras, takes an incoming image and splits it between two pixels, allowing the camera to figure out exactly how out-of-focus a subject is, and then immediately hone in and track movement.

"Mobile device manufacturers are constantly striving to design and build the most powerful, power-efficient devices in the smallest possible form factors," said Andrew Burt, vice president of the Image Sensor Business Unit, System LSI Group at TAEC. "To support this objective, both new 16MP CMOS sensors are housed in a small module (both area and height) and use Toshiba's new low-power circuit design method to lengthen battery life when the smartphone or tablet is being used in video mode."

Image brightness in both new sensors is boosted by up to 4x by Toshiba's Bright Mode technology, which enables HD video capture at 240fps equivalent. They also support high dynamic range (HDR) to capture natural images of scenes with a high contrast ratio, ending the problem of over- and underexposed images.

The T4KC3 and T4KC3-121 achieve output speeds of up to 30fps at full 16MP-resolution (4624 x 3472pixels) with power consumption figures of just 240mW or lower. Full-HD outputs of 1920 x 1080 pixels are supported at frame rates of up to 60fps, and HD outputs (1280 x 720 pixels) are supported at 120fps in normal mode and 240fps in Bright Mode.

The new sensors have an optical size of 1/2.78 inch and pixel pitch of 1.12 micrometer BSI. Additionally, they incorporate16Kbit one time programmable memory that can store lens shading correction data for four conditions at maximum, such as indoors and outdoors, daylight and sunset. Settings can be switched by one simple command.

Availability
Samples of the T4KC3 CMOS image sensor are available now, and sample shipments of the T4KC3-121 will start in mid-August. Mass production of both is set to begin in December.

'Minecraft' Gameplay Comes To Boston Movie Theaters With First-Ever Video Game League For Kids

Founded By A Group Of Dads, Super League Gaming Has Partnered With The Nation's Three Largest Theater Chains To Bring Interactive Video Gameplay For Kids To Boston Movie Theaters

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The world's first in-theater gaming league, Super League Gaming, will take over 80+ movie theaters across 25 major U.S. cities for their Super League Gaming Summer Tour and is stopping in select Boston-area theaters beginning on August 17th, 2015. Players around the country will have the unique opportunity to play Super League's first game, Minecraft, side-by-side and in-person at their local movie theater for the first time ever.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150618/224101LOGO

Super League has partnered with the nation's three largest movie theater chains -- Regal Entertainment Group, AMC Theatres, and Cinemark Theatres, as well as luxury chain iPic Theaters -- to transform video games into collaborative, team-building activities for kids.

The coast-to-coast, 25­-city tour will run from June 15th through August 26th to introduce Super League Gaming's unique concept and get the word out about league gameplay, which starts with 6­-week sessions on October 5th.

"I think video games are great in the way they can capture a child's imagination, but imagine adding a real-world social element to that which brings the whole thing to life in a positive way," says Super League President and COO Brett Morris. "That's why we created Super League Gaming. We're just a group of dads who want to help kids connect with each other and develop social bonds as they play and engage in the games they love. We like to think of it as little league for the digital era."

Each event is comprised of a 100-minute session that includes live team gameplay and individual battles, while players work to climb the leaderboard. Gamers play in the traditional first-person view on their laptops while watching a customized third-person aerial 'world view' with all players on the theater screen.

"Cinemark is very excited to be working with Super League, as more and more of our theatres are being recognized as ideal venues for gamers to play and engage in eSports," says Cinemark VP, Head of Marketing & Communications, James Meredith. "With our large screens, incredible sound, cutting-edge technology and extremely comfortable seats, our multiplexes provide a gaming experience that cannot be replicated."

Minecraft, one of the world's most downloaded computer games, lets players use their imaginations to build anything they can conjure up in a 3D world. The popularity of the game has exploded in recent years thanks to YouTube gamers like CaptainSparklez, a YouTube celebrity with over 8.6 million subscribers, and a founding gamer among the Super League team. ParkerGames, another prominent YouTube Minecraft celebrity, will also be at the August 17th event at AMC Loews Boston Common 19, and hosting a special pre-game red carpet event for gamers, families and media.

Sensory Boosts Speech Recognition Accuracy 80% by Adding Deep Learning to TrulyHandsfree Platform

New speech extraction techniques allow spoken commands to cut through real-world noise with Sensory's industry-leading ultra-low power speech recognition technology

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sensory Inc., a Silicon Valley-based company focused on improving the user experience and security of consumer electronics through state-of-the-art embedded voice and vision technologies, today announced TrulyHandsfree 4.0, the next evolution of the company's extremely successful embedded small-footprint voice user interface platform. Compared to previous versions of TrulyHandsfree, version 4.0 with deep learning offers improved performance and up to an 80 percent increase in word accuracy(1). TrulyHandsfree 4.0 offers filterbank features as an alternative to MFCC features, along with new phrase spotting techniques. These additions have contributed greatly to the improvement of the technology's overall performance. It also contains Sensory's new neural nets engine that supports deep learning acoustic models, dramatically improving speech recognition accuracy in real-world noise.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150512/215646LOGO

TrulyHandsfree 4.0 was designed to take advantage of deep learning and other cutting edge techniques to improve the TrulyHandsfree platform's overall performance and accuracy. Sensory uses a unique form of a neural network with deep learning to achieve acoustic models an order of magnitude smaller than the present state-of-the-art. These neural networks employ the most recent breakthroughs in speech feature extraction to produce superior accuracy in noisy environments. Combining this with the latest in filterbank speech features, overall accuracy is improved across the board, while new spotting techniques ensure that the core part of the user's spoken request can be recognized in the middle of speech, or when surrounded by ambient noise. Most impressively, the technology is able to fully operate with less than a 2mA draw on the battery, and as low as 1mA with Sensory's low power sound detection intellectual property.

Summary of TrulyHandsfree 4.0's Performance Improvements:

    --  Addition of larger deep learning acoustic models providing substantially
        higher accuracy
    --  New algorithms that overcome reverb and harsh acoustic environments
    --  Advanced filterbank features that improve front-end speech feature
        extraction
    --  Fully compatible with TrulyNatural; enables seamless handoff from
        TrulyHandsfree to TrulyNatural processors
    --  Enhanced architectural scalability allows for low-power DSP
        implementations with secondary accuracy improvements at the operating
        system level
"TrulyHandsfree was an industry-first that literally changed the way people interact with devices of all kinds," said Todd Mozer, CEO of Sensory Inc. "Many thought it was impossible to create an always-listening voice user interface, that had both accuracy and low power, but Sensory did it, and the industry has followed but trailed in performance. TrulyHandsfree 4.0 takes performance to a whole new level with an accuracy, footprint and power consumption that others just can't touch."

Sensory's TrulyHandsfree trigger technology has quickly become the most widely adopted keyword spotting technology in the speech industry. Over a billion products utilizing Sensory's TrulyHandsfree have shipped over the past several years from manufacturers such as BlueAnt, Hallmark, Huawei, LG, Mattel, Motorola, Plantronics, Pantech, Samsung and TomTom. The TrulyHandsfree trigger is a low power, high accuracy, phrase recognition technology that listens for a special "wake up" phrase, yet ignores all other conversations.

TrulyHandsfree 4.0 supports US English, UK English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. The TrulyHandsfree SDK is available for Android, iOS, Linux, QNX and Windows. Additionally, ultra-low-power deeply embedded ports of TrulyHandsfree are available for leading DSP/MCU IP cores from ARM, Cadence, CEVA, NXP CoolFlux, Synopsys and Verisilicon, as well as for integrated circuits from Audience, Avnera, Cirrus Logic, Conexant, DSPG, Fortemedia, Intel, Invensense, NXP, Qualcomm, QuickLogic, Realtek, STMicroelectronics, TI and Yamaha.

WTA and SAP Team Up to Give Tennis an Analytical Edge With Real-Time Performance Data

STANFORD, Calif., Aug. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) and SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced that in a team effort they have developed SAP® Tennis Analytics software for coaches. For the first time ever in professional tennis, players and coaches can access real-time performance data during live match play -- starting at the Bank of the West Classic at Stanford University.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20110126/AQ34470LOGO

SAP Tennis Analytics for coaches powered by SAP HANA® is available exclusively for the WTA and on WTA-authorized tablets. It provides insight to help players and coaches analyze performance and optimize strategy. That could mean the difference between winning or losing the next point, set, match -- or even championship.

Examples of statistics provided by SAP Tennis Analytics include:

    --  Side-by-side comparisons of the full list of match stats for both
        players, updated every 15 seconds
    --  Scoring data that analyzes player's service performance, success rate in
        closing out a game while serving and number of break points saved
    --  Tracking data which shows player's serve direction and placement on the
        court, contact point for returning a serve and placement of rally shots
"The WTA and SAP Tennis Analytics is a game-changer that will not only enhance our athletes' preparation and performance but also the fans' experiences when watching women's tennis," said Stacey Allaster, CEO and Chairman of the WTA. "Analyzing data is fundamental to player and coach development, and this state-of-the-art technology, which more and more of our performers are now using, will take our sport to a new and exciting level and lead the way in sports technology."

SAP, WTA, players and coaches worked together to create a tool that is effectively simple, engaging and provides key real-time information that is crucial to player performance during practice, competition and following matches.

Since the introduction of the on-court technology platform last October, the WTA and SAP have tested and incorporated feedback from players and coaches at tournaments around the world. New updates now available for players and coaches include the addition of filters and pre-defined scenarios so that players can drill into the data at various levels -- for example, by set, game score, winners, errors, unreturned serves, etc.; an archive mode, which allows the users to review completed match data within the same tournament; and custom-designed cases to withstand all environmental elements.

"Our relationship with the WTA is another example of how SAP collaborates with partners to create ground-breaking solutions that change the way athletes utilize data and information to optimize their performance," said Quentin Clark, Chief Technology Officer and member of the Global Managing Board, SAP. "After months of testing, enhancements and feedback, we're excited that coaches and players have the opportunity to begin utilizing SAP Tennis Analytics on the court during tournament match play."

Coaches will have the opportunity to use SAP Tennis Analytics at six additional WTA events in 2015, including the Rogers Cup, Connecticut Open, Wuhan Open, Prudential Hong Kong Tennis Open, BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by SC Global and WTA Elite Trophy in Zhuhai, China, with other tournaments slated for 2016. The WTA introduced on-court coaching in 2008 designed to further enhance the entertainment value of women's tennis to television and live viewers. SAP Tennis Analytics for coaches is an advancement in technology for women's tennis and part of an entire business transformation the WTA is embracing. This is one example of such technology innovation in women's tennis, with SAP serving as the leader.

Run to the Rhythm with the New Smart B-Trainer(TM) from Sony

All-in-one running device that personalizes your running regime and features versatile training plans through an app.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Electronics announced today the new Smart B-Trainer(TM), an all-in-one training device and application that features intelligent music playback based on heart rate(1) monitoring, various training plans, and real time voice coaching(2). Developed for avid runners, the Smart B-Trainer(TM) comes in a non-slip, neckband-style housing to provide maximum freedom of exercise movements.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150805/255814

This sports companion integrates Sony's latest audio advancements with sensor and software technologies to provide a holistic exercise experience. It consists of the SSE-BTR1 headphone-integrated device that is packed with six types of sensors - heart rate, acceleration, GPS, compass, gyro and barometer - and measures, as well as records, eleven  types of running logs - heart rate, burned calories, distance, time, speed, pace, cadence, steps, stride, running route and elevation.

Based on a preset user profile and heart rate goal, the Smart B-Trainer(TM) measures your heart rate and automatically selects music for efficient training. Music tempo analysis is carried out by Sony's 12 Tone Analysis technology, which extracts a variety of metadata through signal and statistical processing to analyze music waveforms. When your heart rate is higher than your targeted speed, a song with slower tempo will be automatically selected to guide you to slow down, and vice versa when your heart rate is lower than the targeted speed. Additionally, runners can also adjust the tempo of the song to match running moods and styles(3).

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150805/255816

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150805/255817

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150805/255818

­­­Smart B-Trainer(TM) for Running(4) is an app that enables you to manage running logs on your smartphone by tracking graphs of past records to give a clearer picture of your training progress. After you finish a workout, you can transfer the running log to the app to view the results and easily visualize your performance through graphs and comparisons with past accumulated records, best records, and trends. An awareness of detailed results typically leads to a more effective, sustainable progress and training. It also provides a versatile selection of training plans, be it to get in shape, build strength, or even to prepare for a marathon. After making your selection, send the plan to the Smart B-Trainer(TM) via Bluetooth® to begin training immediately.

There are two sets of training plans to choose from - Basic and Premium. The Basic Plan offers a range of options, enabling you to manually set running goals for the day (time, distance, burned calories, pace, etc.), or select from theme-based trainings, such as "Fat burning training" or "to Endurance training".

The Premium Training Plan offers a selection of training plans for a variety of levels, from walking to full marathon. Designed by professional coaches and other experts, the content is arranged in such a way that you can experience professional coaching, all from just voice instructions from the device.  In addition, new training menus, which will be added later this year, will have a voice of a professional running coach supervising you during training, warming up, and cooling down sessions. He will even share post-workout pointers, which can be checked on the app to track progress and design your next exercise regime.   

Premium Training Plan in collaboration with MY ASICS
Smart B-Trainer(TM) can work in coordination with the MY ASICS Training Plan developed by True Sport Performance brand ASICS. Training plans created in MY ASICS can be experienced in real-time on the Smart B-Trainer(TM), and you can store and manage your running logs. Simply enter the necessary details in MY ASICS, such as your current level, gender, age, and training frequency to set six different periods, including Speed Training Period and Full Run Period. You will then be able to see the training regime required to achieve your target.

"We are excited for runners to sync the new Smart B-Trainer with the MY ASICS Training Plan," said Greg Macias, Director of Marketing at ASICS America Corporation. "This customized experience is an extremely valuable training tool for runners of all ages and ability levels to set, manage and reach their goals. We are confident that runners using the MY ASICS Training Plan will see it as a game-changer for their training as it was expertly-developed at the ASICS Institute of Sport Science in Kobe, Japan, utilizing data from thousands of runners in order to create training plans that cater to each unique runner's needs." 

The built-in memory of 16GB(5) stores up to approximately 3,900 songs(6), so you won't have to worry about running out of songs to listen to while exercising. The Smart B-Trainer(TM) has waterproof performance equivalent to IPX5/IPX8(7), so you can run without the worry of rain, weather or perspiration. Additionally, it can be used as a Bluetooth(®) headset to answer phone calls hands-free.

The Smart B-Trainer(TM) will be available in the United States Fall 2015. For more information on the Smart B-Trainer(TM), please click here .

**Applications are free of charge, but additional charges apply for a separate package for usage with a smart phone.

(1) Pulse measurement is the generally recommended method of determining your heart rate, which is a rough indicator of intensity of exercise. This device uses a built-in sensor to measure the pulse from your ear. Results of those measurements are used to monitor the amount of exercise done or for "heart rate training". "Pulses" here expresses "heart rate" to make it easier for users to understand. Heart Rate Training is a type of training that uses the heart rate. You can see how hard you are exercising by looking at your heart rate during exercise. It is possible to achieve effective yet safe training results by managing and controlling the intensity of training based on your heart rate.
(2) Music playback linked to heart rate and audio advice from professional coaches are supported in some exercise plans only.
(3) Supported in the Basic Training Plan where you can set time and distance.
(4) The Smart B-Trainer(TM) for Running app is available on Google Play and the App Store from June 2015. Display and features are slightly different for Android version and iOS versions. Only Android version app can be used without SSE-BTR1. An update for iOS version app is planned later in the year so that it can be used without the device.
(5) This is the total capacity available including space for maintaining and managing measurement data, music, and audio data.
(6) When only music is transferred to the built-in memory (calculated as 1 song = 4 minutes, 128kbps).
(7) JIS waterproof protection class IPX8 (protection class against water immersion) shows that according to Sony testing conditions, a swimming earpiece was attached and submerged in 2.0 meter deep water for 30 minutes without damaging the product. JIS waterproof protection class IPX5 (protection class against a stream of water) shows that in conditions where a nozzle with an inner diameter of 6.3 mm was used to spray water from an approximate distance of 3 meters at 12.5 l/minute for more than 3 minutes, the main unit functioned normally even when sprayed directly with water from all directions. Liquids covered under waterproof protection are fresh water, tap water, sweat, and pool water. When using underwater, Bluetooth and some measurement functions (heart rate, barometer, GPS, etc.) will not function properly.

LIVALL is the first smart and safe cycling helmet

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The history of the bicycle can be traced back to the 1790s. After more than 200 years of development, cycling has gone from a daily transportation method to a lifestyle, and even a culture. When cycling, safety and enjoyment are most important to cyclists.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150805/255730

In many countries, out of safety concerns, wearing a helmet has become mandatory, and LIVALL aims to provide cyclists a SAFER yet MORE JOYFUL experience.

LIVALL is the first smart helmet in the world that integrates communication, music, and smart lighting. With built-in Hi-Fi Bluetooth speakers and microphone, Bling Helmet enables cyclists to answer phone calls, allowing them to stay connected. For communication during group riding, LIVALL has developed a Walkie-Talkie function to make it easier for team members to communicate with each other.

Unlike traditional helmets, LIVALL not only minimizes unexpected damage, but also will send SOS alerts to emergency contacts via the LIVALL Riding App when the built-in 3 Axis G sensor senses an external strike. To prevent accidents, LIVALL has LED outline lights on top of the helmet for better visibility, and LED tail lights to send out turning signals. To warn pedestrians and drivers, all cyclists need to do is use a single finger to press the "<" or ">" button on Bling Jet (remote control) on the handle bar.

During the ride, cyclists can use the LIVALL Riding App not only to control the tail lights but also to use other functions to easily play music, take photos/videos, etc., through Bling Jet. In addition to LIVALL Nano Cadence Sensor, the smallest single unit cadence sensor in the world, the LIVALL Riding App can also perfectly sync with other smart wearable devices like smart watches or pedometers to present the data to cyclists and help them better improve performance. Also with the power bank inside LIVALL Phone Holder, there is no more need to worry about the phone running out of battery. 

The LIVALL team has completed R&D and the production trial in March 2015. In May, phone application beta testing and R&D of the overseas version were completed.

The helmet is currently on crowdfunding site Indiegogo, where it has raised over half of its goal within the first 12 hours. Throughout this campaign, LIVALL hopes to bring its intelligent product and pleasant riding experience to more cyclists globally.

Adding to their arsenal of peak-performance networking products, the Killer(TM) E2400 from Rivet introduces Advanced Stream Detect(TM) 2.0 to offer the most cutting-edge network data detection and network optimization technology in the PC market today.

The E2400 provides additional intelligence by automatically detecting and prioritizing specific website traffic in addition to networked applications and games. By providing two additional network priority levels, Killer(TM) E2400 gives users six levels of prioritization to take full advantage of enhanced application and website detection. The adapter delivers industry-leading latency performance, outperforming the competition by up to 50 percent during single application usage and up to 10x faster when multitasking, offering more powerful network control, improved latency, reduced jitter and virtually eliminates video freezes so users can play, watch and stream games all at the same time.

For users that want the absolute best performance, DoubleShot-X3(TM) Pro works in systems that have two Killer Gigabit Ethernet Controllers and one Killer Wireless-AC Adapter. DoubleShot-X3(TM) Pro automatically identifies all traffic and sends high priority traffic over the fastest connection, standard traffic over the next fastest connection and bulk traffic over the remaining connection. DoubleShot-X3(TM) combines the speed of two wired Killer Gigabit Ethernet controllers with the flexibility of Killer Wireless to provide max throughput as high as 2.867 Gbps.

The new Killer E2400 is being released in partnership with MSI and GIGABYTE, global leaders in gaming hardware. MSI will feature the E2400 on multiple Z170 motherboards, including the Z170A GAMING M9 ACK with Killer DoubleShot(TM) Pro.

        detection available in consumer products today. Advanced Stream
        Detect(TM) 2.0 automatically classifies and prioritizes network traffic
        for online games, HD video and specific websites for better quality and
        fewer interruptions in a user's online experience
    --  Lag and Latency Reduction(TM) Technology designed specifically to reduce
        latency and improve online gaming and HD video performance
    --  Visual Bandwidth Control(TM) shows which applications and websites are
        monopolizing bandwidth and gives users the control to optimize
        performance by adjusting priorities and setting bandwidth limits so that
        low priority traffic doesn't interfere with multimedia applications or
        favorite websites
The Killer(TM) E2400 launch follows the June release of the Killer(TM) Wireless-AC 1535, a 2x2 802.11ac wireless adapter with ExtremeRange(TM) Technology.

Lowepro Delivers All-Season Versatility, Protection and Performance with New Photo Backpacks Built for Outdoor Adventurers

Two Distinctive Designs Offer Nod to Lowepro Brand's Outdoor Heritage

SALT LAKE CITY and PETALUMA, Calif., Aug. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Lowepro, the leading maker of photography carrying solutions, today expanded its trusted offerings for outdoor photographers with the launch of Whistler, a four-season and alpine-inspired backpack series, and the next generation of its best-selling and active-adventure backpack, Photo Sport II.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150728/247737

"Both of these inventive, technical designs evoke memories of founder Greg Lowe and the origins of the company that he built," said Tim Grimmer, vice president of brand and product at Lowepro. "From the adventurer who works in extremes, to the athlete who likes to go fast and light, we've created these bags to help outdoor photographers take and protect their gear to the ends of the earth."

Born on the side of a mountain, the Whistler series was designed and tested by professional photographers, including Whistler shooter Paul Morrison, in the extreme conditions of the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada.

"I've worked with Lowepro bags since I began shooting skiing over 35 years ago, and it was a Lowepro bag that helped my camera gear survive a large avalanche in 1997," said Paul Morrison, professional photographer and Loweprofessional. "Cameras mean different things to different photographers, but I think most agree that there is an attachment to cameras that can run quite deep. Bags are the protective connections between our gear and us. That was the thinking that brought about Whistler."

Whistler is a versatile, four-season technical backpack that comes in two sizes - 350 AW and 450 AW. Ideal for wilderness photographers and adventurers who carry an equal measure of camera, video and functional outdoor equipment, the bag's hinged and zippered back panel offers partial or full access to photography gear, and its rigid internal structure can support attachment of skis, poles, tripods, ice axes and more. Featuring Lowepro's ActivZone System(TM) harness and MaxFit(TM) divider system, the bag is comfortable to wear and flexible to pack. Whistler's extra-protective build keeps gear safe from the elements, including a waterproof fabric and base, detachable All Weather AW Cover(TM) and removable camera gear insert.

More information about the Whistler series, including gear capacity, can be found at http://www.lowepro.com/whistler.

Addressing the demands of two passions in one pack, the updated Photo Sport II series offers camera and personal gear portability when engaged in aerobic sports or activities. The Photo Sport BP 200 AW II and 300 AW II both include a new UltraCinch(TM) design, featuring side access and a custom pull-tab to tighten and stabilize the bag's photo gear space in one swift action. Lightweight, weather-resistant materials and a built-in All Weather AW Cover keep photographers moving when the weather changes. An ActivZone harness system, padded waistbelt and adjustable shoulder straps offer padding in all the right spots, while the bag's dedicated compartment for a 2-liter water reservoir (not included) helps photographers stay hydrated while running, hiking, biking, climbing, boarding or trekking.

To learn more about the Photo Sport II series, visit http://www.lowepro.com/photosport.

The Whistler BP 350 AW ($349.95) and 450 AW ($389.95) and the Photo Sport BP 200 AW II ($169.95) and 300 AW II ($199.95) are now available for purchase at a number of retail locations as well as http://www.lowepro.com.

New FICO Solution Helps Banks Empower Consumers to Fight Fraud

FICO Consumer Fraud Control is a mobile app solution that empowers consumers to configure card usage controls and transactional alerts, for greater peace of mind.

SAN JOSE, Calif. , Aug. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE: FICO), the analytics and decision management software company, today introduced FICO(®) Consumer Fraud Control, a new solution for banks that enables their cardholders to configure card usage controls and transactional alerts via the bank's mobile app.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20111010/CG83314LOGO

Highlights:

Building on FICO's market-leading FICO(®) Falcon(®) Fraud Platform, Consumer Fraud Control allows consumers to easily shield themselves from potential fraud, as well as closely manage daily card use. Cardholders can:

    --  Set controls on when, where and how their cards are used, such as
        blocking certain purchase types or cash withdrawals, setting maximum
        transaction amounts and restricting merchant types
    --  Customize real-time alerts or push notifications on their account and
        card activity, enabling them to monitor transactions in real time
    --  Monitor activity and instantly pause card function in the event of
        suspected fraud or loss
"These controls do more than just protect against fraud," said TJ Horan, vice president of fraud solutions at FICO. "They enable concerned consumers and active budget managers to control how their cards are used. This is the easiest and most comprehensive solution of its type, and we're making it available to our banking partners. The extra layer of protection may increase a cardholder's spending levels, improve the bank's share of wallet, and increase engagement with the bank's mobile app."

A 2014 study by Unisys found that 59 percent of Americans fear bank card fraud -- more than terrorism (47 percent) or disease epidemics (34 percent). A FICO study in late 2014 showed that more than half of consumers in the UK and the US wanted to use a mobile app to control the types of transactions and the dollar amounts allowed on their cards.

"Banks have found tremendous value in our FICO(®) Score Open Access program, which provides banks' consumers greater transparency and understanding by sharing the FICO Scores the lenders use," said Geoff Smith, vice president for consumer solutions at FICO.  "FICO Consumer Fraud Controls now enables banks to further empower consumers by helping them protect and manage their credit and debit cards."

FICO has led payment card fraud protection for more than 20 years. The FICO(®) Falcon Fraud Platform protects 2.5 billion payment cards worldwide, using advanced analytics and cardholder profiles. The solution is available now to global banks and card issuers who want to offer their customers greater peace of mind.  More information: http://www.fico.com/en/products/fico-consumer-fraud-control.

DJI Releases Photography and Video Drone Designed for Beginner Pilots

DJI Phantom 3 Standard makes aerial imaging more accessible than ever before

-   Includes intelligent flight functions that make cinematic shots easy to capture

-   Integrated HD camera records video up to 2.7k

-   Available for purchase today at US$799

SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- DJI, the global leader in innovative aerial robotics, today released the most accessible flying camera ('drone') the company has ever created.

Designed specifically for first-time pilots, the DJI Phantom 3 Standard brings DJI's signature attention to stability, flight, and imaging to make capturing aerial images easier than ever before.

"Based on the remarkable success of the DJI Phantom 3 Professional and Phantom 3 Advanced, we wanted to create a new drone that addresses people who are curious about aerial imaging, but not quite ready to commit to a more professional system," said Frank Wang, DJI's CEO and Founder. "The Phantom 3 Standard makes it easy to get into the air to take great photos and videos."

With a newly designed and integrated camera, the DJI Phantom 3 Standard records up to 2.7k HD video, double the resolution of standard 1080p HD video, at 30 frames per second using a high-quality 94-degree distortion-free lens. The camera also shoots still images at 12 megapixels in both DNG Raw and JPG formats. Using a standard WiFi connection, the DJI Phantom 3 Standard allows pilots to see what their camera sees in near real time in HD, capture photos, start / stop record for video and adjust camera settings all from the updated DJI Go app.

The remote controller is an updated version of DJI's previous Phantom 2 Vision+ controller, with an integrated WiFi range extender and wheel to angle the camera.

Based on the Phantom 3 design, the new DJI Phantom 3 Standard includes GPS-based stabilization and flight times up to 25 minutes using DJI's interchangeable Intelligent Flight Batteries for the Phantom 3 series.

The DJI Phantom 3 Standard will be compatible with intelligent flight features including Follow Me, Waypoint Navigation and Point of Interest flight planning.

-   Follow Me - The drone intelligently follows the user based on their orientation.

-   Waypoint Navigation - Allows users to set a multi-point route that the Phantom 3 flies automatically while leaving camera control (pan and tilt) to the user. Users simply have to pull back on their controller and the Phantom will retrace its path to the beginning.

-   Point of Interest - Lets users define an object that the Phantom will fly around in a circle with the object framed perfectly in the center - capturing a cinematic shot that is otherwise difficult to fly manually.

These intelligent features, originally released for DJI's professional products, will be available through a firmware upgrade for the rest of the DJI Phantom 3 series in coming weeks. They are also available through SDK apps already developed by third party DJI developers.

The DJI Phantom 3 Standard is available for purchase at US$799* via DJI.com.

Diablo Technologies Launches Memory1(TM), World's First All-Flash DDR4 Memory Module, Transforming Datacenter Performance And Economics

Leverages the price and capacity of flash to quadruple system memory, enabling dramatic reductions in server count

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Diablo Technologies today announced the launch of Memory1(TM), the first all-flash server system memory technology that rewrites the rules of datacenter performance and economics. The revolutionary technology packs four times the capacity of the largest DRAM modules, delivering greater capability on fewer servers and lowering datacenter costs by up to 70 percent. The same system memory slots that now hold 128 or 384 gigabytes of DRAM memory can house up to four terabytes of Memory1 and process data-intensive applications that were previously beyond reach. These efficiencies are driven by Diablo's breakthrough in memory design, which replaces expensive DRAM with low cost, high capacity flash, while delivering the performance an enterprise demands. Memory1 is deployed into standard DDR4 DIMM slots and is compatible with standard motherboards, servers, operating systems and applications. Memory1 is shipping now to select customers and will be broadly available this fall.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20121108/LA08460LOGO

"Memory1 represents a major evolution in server architecture. The needs of the large-scale datacenter are changing, with a very sharp focus on increasing capability to win the Internet while managing tight constraints on cost and power. The Memory1 platform allows customers to leverage NAND flash as pure system memory in a seamless manner, with no changes to their hardware and software stacks," said Riccardo Badalone, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Diablo Technologies. "The business impact on datacenter economics and application performance is dramatic. We've seen customers envisioning everything from aggressive server consolidation all the way to doubling and tripling individual machine profit. The implications of this technology cannot be overstated."

"We are very excited to partner with Diablo Technologies to deliver solutions based on Memory1 to our customers," said Dolly Wu, Senior Sales Director of Inspur, a multinational information technology company headquartered in Jinan, China. "The combination of Diablo and Inspur enables us to deliver a cost-effective and high capacity solution to meet the demands of the world's largest datacenters."

Jeff Janukowicz, Research Director for Solid State Drives and Enabling Technologies at IDC said, "The cloud, virtualization, big data and analytics are pressuring the infrastructure of many of today's enterprise datacenters. Solutions such as Diablo's Memory1, can accelerate application performance while bringing higher capacities, lower power and cooling costs, and reducing overall expenses compared to existing solutions. This will address the requirements of multiple enterprise market segments today as well as next generation datacenter designs."

Memory1 brings the low cost and high capacity of flash to large-scale enterprise and datacenter customers. It is ideal for environments that require large memory footprints per server for workloads, such as big data analytics and complex Web applications. The average Memory1 use case enables a four-to-one server reduction, and one customer use case requires 90 percent fewer servers. Accordingly, Diablo will initially focus on delivering Memory1 to cloud and hyperscale datacenters, which stand to see significant economic benefits because of their scale.

Diablo will be showcasing Memory1 at Flash Memory Summit from August 11-13 in Santa Clara, California, booth #413: http://www.flashmemorysummit.com.

Compass Datacenters Continues Expansion With Real Estate In Texas, Georgia And Ohio

Sites in Metro Atlanta and Dallas Will Be Home to Compass' First Facilities in Those Markets; Site in Ohio Expands Compass' Presence in Suburban Columbus

DALLAS, Aug. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on high levels of demand, Compass Datacenters has expanded its portfolio of sites that are available for customers with the purchase rights for land in the Atlanta metro area, the Dallas metro area and suburban Columbus. The land parcels in Lithia Springs, Georgia (Metro Atlanta) and Richardson, Texas (Metro Dallas) will be Compass' first data center campuses in these two fast-growing data center markets. The land parcel in New Albany, Ohio (suburban Columbus) is an expansion of Compass' presence in that market, which has proven to have strong demand for Compass' products. Compass Datacenter now controls these sites and has completed key functions that enable customers to dramatically accelerate their dedicated data center builds, including entitling, permitting, site planning, infrastructure design and facility design.

"Our customers have identified these markets as locations where they want to work with Compass to build dedicated data center facilities, and these newly-acquired land parcels are ideal sites because of their access to network and utility infrastructure, proximity to their operations, minimal risk factors and more," said Chris Curtis, Senior Vice President, Development & Acquisitions at Compass Datacenters. "These sites are available immediately to customers through our unique Simple Site Selection program, which allows companies to dramatically accelerate--and eliminate the headaches of--one of the most time-consuming and complex steps in a data center project: site selection and permitting."

By selecting these sites, Compass customers get sites that have already been pre-screened, entitled and permitted for data center facilities. Compass has also already completed master site plans and facility designs, enabling customers to complete their dedicated data center project far faster and far more economically than alternative approaches. Below is an overview of each site:

    --  Lithia Springs, Georgia - This 23.5 acre parcel of land in suburban
        Atlanta can accommodate four or five (4-5) Compass 1.2 MW data centers
        in the master plan created by Compass and pre-permitted by the city and
        county. Significant economic incentives are available for data center
        projects at this location, and there is an option of working with either
        GreyStone Power or Georgia Power as a utility partner. The site has
        robust power infrastructure fed by three power substations in the area,
        multiple power feeds onto the land and redundancy built into the power
        grid.
    --  Richardson, Texas - This 10.2 acre parcel of land in the heart of
        suburban Dallas' Telecom Corridor can accommodate two (2) Compass 1.2 MW
        data centers in the master plan created by Compass and pre-permitted by
        the city and county. The site has a robust, high-reliability power
        infrastructure and excellent fiber capabilities.
    --  New Albany, Ohio - This 9.5 acre parcel of land in the New Albany
        Business Park in suburban Columbus is just north of the data center
        Compass recently completed for American Electric Power (AEP). The site
        can accommodate two (2) Compass 1.2 MW data centers and is in a proven
        location for data center facilities that includes IT operations for
        multiple enterprises. The pre-permitted and master-planned site has
        robust power with redundancy built into the power grid with dual feeds
        in a looped system.
"These three markets are high interest areas for our customers who have found conventional colocation alternatives to be insufficient for their needs. That is why Compass has added these parcels of land to our portfolio of sites that are available for builds with very aggressive timelines," said Chris Crosby, CEO of Compass Datacenters. "Even in 'major' markets like Dallas and Atlanta, businesses want the functionality that we can deliver in a dedicated facility, such as a loading dock that you don't have to share, dedicated storage and staging space, and total control over the site's operations--at the same price point that they  would find for traditional wholesale colocation."

Crosby added: "One of the biggest advantages of working with Compass is our Simple Site Selection program, which eliminates the time that is normally required for a company to locate a suitable location and bypass the usual hurdles related to entitling, permitting and site planning. This can save a tremendous amount of time and cost for companies seeking to build dedicated data centers."

About Compass Datacenters
Compass Datacenters delivers dedicated data centers that provide customers with an enhanced level of control, pay-as-you-go expansion, and future-ready capabilities in a facility that can be built anywhere in six months from breaking ground on a pad-ready site.
