Latest Release of Unisys Agile Business Suite Makes It Easier to Develop and Modernize Applications for Mobility

Release 3.0 of AB Suite enhances developer productivity and speeds process for modernizing applications to take advantage of mobility trend

BLUE BELL, Pa., Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced Release 3.0 of the company's Agile Business (AB) Suite application development software for the Unisys ClearPath MCP and Microsoft Windows environments.

IT organizations today need a fast, easy way to develop new applications and modernize existing mission-critical applications to take advantage of mobility and other key trends that can boost employee productivity and benefit their business.

Unisys AB Suite Release 3.0 provides a model-driven approach to application development. Using a high-level scripting language and industry-standard tools, application developers can generate complete applications from a set of business specifications. They need not write code line-by-line or separately define databases, transaction managers and other crucial resources.

AB Suite Release 3.0 also provides programmers with the capability to modernize mission-critical applications, without changing the core system, so end users can easily access them from mobile devices.

"Unisys AB Suite Release 3.0 gives CIOs a way to quickly commission applications that address pressing business challenges," said Bill Maclean, vice president, ClearPath and AB Suite portfolio management, Unisys. "Because application developers can use contemporary techniques and familiar tools to develop and modernize applications, the organization can capitalize quickly on emerging business opportunities without sacrificing its long-term investment in mission-critical application software."

New Capabilities Enhance Mobility and Simplify Migration
Unisys AB Suite Release 3.0 is available for the Unisys ClearPath MCP and Microsoft Windows operating environments. It employs the widely used Microsoft Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server for application development and lifecycle management, respectively. Those tools provide a familiar environment that enables software engineers to quickly achieve and maintain a high level of productivity. Team Foundation Server helps streamline operations and reduce project-management costs by giving all team members access to common project-related information.

AB Suite Release 3.0 for MCP is integrated with the Unisys ClearPath ePortal for MCP specialty engine. This special-purpose processor provides Web services that enable mobile devices to be integrated into the ClearPath environment. Developers can use Microsoft Visual Studio to quickly web-enable enterprise applications without changing the applications themselves. They can replace outmoded text-based application interfaces with contemporary graphic looks, so mobile users can execute transactions easily on Apple iPhones and iPads, Android devices and BlackBerrys.

Integration with the ClearPath ePortal specialty engine not only makes it easier for programmers to modernize server-based applications, but also expands the range of application access options for end users conducting business at the point of customer contact and service.

Unisys has also enhanced compatibility of AB Suite Release 3.0 with the predecessor Enterprise Application Environment (EAE) development system. That compatibility makes it easier to migrate EAE applications to AB Suite Release 3.0 without impacting performance.

Because of its reliability, scalability and ease of use, Unisys has used AB Suite as the basis for key vertical-industry solutions, including voice mail/messaging for communications providers and a mortgage-processing solution for financial institutions.

Virtual Queuing Pioneer Lo-Q Acquires accesso, Florida-based Theme Park Ticketing and e-Commerce Leader

Acquisition Creates Premier Technology Solutions Provider in the Attractions and Leisure Industry

LONDON and ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lo-Q plc (AIM: LOQ), the AIM-listed provider of virtual queuing systems for theme parks and major attractions, today announced that it has acquired privately-held accesso, a recognized leader in ticketing technology, e-commerce, mobile apps and payment processing.  The transaction creates the premier technology solutions provider in the attractions and leisure industry.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111019/FL88873LOGO )

Together, Lo-Q and accesso will harness the industry's growing demand for enhanced guest convenience and optimized revenue drivers by leveraging the companies' shared focus on award-winning technology, customer service and brand awareness.

"Pairing accesso's award-winning ticketing and e-commerce portfolio with our virtual queuing systems is a real game-changer and vaults us into position as the worldwide leader in revenue-driving solutions for the global attractions industry," said Tom Burnet, Lo-Q CEO.  "accesso's technologies were a major draw for us, but the biggest factor in our decision was the company's outstanding leadership and team of innovative employees dedicated to delivering world-class customer service and outstanding results for their clients."

Reaction to the acquisition is just as enthusiastic at accesso.

"We're thrilled to be joining the Lo-Q portfolio and look forward to offering our combined set of revenue-driving resources to attractions around the globe," said Steve Brown, accesso CEO.  "Blending our unique and highly successful companies will allow us to jointly leverage the talent of both teams and our combined technological, mobile and operations expertise to develop next generation solutions to meet the rapidly changing needs of the attractions marketplace."

Under terms of the deal, accesso will retain its Central Florida office and Brown, who also remains in Florida, will join Lo-Q as President and Chief Operating Officer of the companies' combined North America business and will serve as a member of the Lo-Q plc board of directors.

The acquisition takes place in the midst of a significant growth period for accesso as the company signed a number of large portfolio clients in the past 12 months and now serves more than 100 venues across North America.  The company's annual revenue has increased more than 130 percent over the past three years. accesso employs 44 full time staff and will process nearly $1 billion in transactions in 2012, including more than 14 million print at home tickets, and has delivered more than 1 million downloads of its native mobile content application for its clients. 

The acquisition is Lo-Q's second major deal in the past few months.  In September, the company signed a partnership agreement with The Sanderson Group, an Australian multi-national business, to help spearhead Lo-Q's expansion into the fast growing Asian market place.

About Lo-Q

Lo-Q is the creator of a virtual queuing system for theme parks, water parks and other leisure attractions that allows users to queue without waiting in line. Lo-Q users reserve their place in a queue electronically and are notified when their turn is up, spending less time queuing and more time enjoying their day out.

Lo-Q's system has been adopted by leading theme park and attraction operators globally, with customers including Parques Reunidos, Six Flags Entertainment Co, Herschend Group, Merlin Entertainments and Compagnies Des Alpes. These operators benefit not only from happier customers but also from additional revenue streams as time previously spent queuing is instead transformed in to higher spending in park restaurants, gift shops and other retail facilities. By the end of 2011, more than eight million individuals had used a Lo-Q product and that number is growing.

The Company's technology is protected by extensive patents or patents pending in Europe, USA, Hong Kong and Japan. The target market for this technology is large and growing, with Lo-Q currently exploring opportunities for expansion into new theme parks and new geographies as well as opportunities to develop new products for other complementary adjacent markets.

Lo-Q is listed on the Alternative Investment Market ("AIM") under the ticker "LOQ". For more information visit http://www.lo-q.com.

About accesso

Based in Central Florida, accesso is recognized as the attractions industry's leading provider of ticketing solutions offering a range of proprietary, fully-hosted ticketing, ecommerce, mobile and payment processing solutions to more than 100 leading venues across North America including Six Flags Entertainment, Cedar Fair Entertainment, Herschend Family Entertainment, and Palace Entertainment.  accesso products and services  support top attractions across North America from theme parks and water parks to concerts, live events and sporting events.

OpenNebula in Amazon EC2: a Private Cloud Within a Public Cloud

MADRID, December 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    C12G Labs, the company behind the OpenNebula Project, is happy to announce the
availability of the OpenNebula Sandbox for Amazon EC2. OpenNebula is a widely-deployed
open-source management solution for enterprise data center virtualization and private
cloud computing that implements the Amazon EC2 interface. With the new Sandbox you can
deploy in a single click an AWS-compatible OpenNebula nested cloud on Amazon EC2, where
you can launch virtual machines within an Amazon instance.

cloud builders and operators to evaluate OpenNebula, and for developers to test their
integrations against a real controlled OpenNebula environment. It is not intended for

OpenNebula innovative functionality for cloudbursting opens the possibility of using the
OpenNebula Sandbox as an Amazon-hosted broker to orchestrate and aggregate different
Amazon availability zones.

Now, Casio's application of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) positions the company to create new possibilities for the way people use their watches.  The GB6900AA collection provides Bluetooth time sync, alerts for incoming calls and emails, in addition to a Find Me function in which alarm and vibration functions on an iPhone can be activated using the buttons of the watch. To silence the vibration of the alarms, Casio has added a tap function in which the user double taps the face and the alert is automatically dismissed.  In addition, the Bluetooth G-Shock will provide a notification when the phone is out of range of the watch, making sure the phone is never misplaced and the watch will automatically adjust itself to the correct time zone by using the time data received through the iPhone.

Taking advantage of the low power consumption of BLE, the new watch powers wireless communication functions with a single, ordinary button-cell battery, and without consuming any more battery life than a conventional wristwatch. Users can wear it every day just like they normally do, without the hassle of recharging or replacing a battery. Battery life is estimated at approximately two years, assuming that the Bluetooth wireless communication function is used for 12 hours per day.

As the wireless link between smart phones and watches gains in adoption, and as the universe of smart phone applications continues to grow, G-Shock expects to see new possibilities for watches in everyday life.

The GB6900AA collection is available in four sleek colorways: black GB6900AA-1, gray blue GB6900AA-2, brown GB6900AA-5 and white GB6900AA-7. All models include shock and 200M water resistance, world time (35 time zones / 100 cities + UTC), LED super illuminator, five daily alarms (beep or vibrate), 1/100(th) second stopwatch (24H), countdown timer (24H, beep or vibrate), 12/24hr formats, mute function and a 2-year battery (12H of use per day).

"G-Shock continues to be a leader in cutting-edge technology for timepieces," said Shigenori Itoh, Chairman and CEO of Casio's Timepiece Division. "With the release of the Bluetooth LE Smart Watch collection, we are pushing the boundaries of inspired timepieces for the business savvy, technology conscious consumer."

Available this November, the GB6900AA collection will retail for $180 and will be available at select Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, Tourneau, Independent Jewelers & Fashion Boutiques, andwww.gshock.com.

Santa Clara Dentist, Dr. Alan Frame, is Now Offering a Special Promotion for Invisalign Aligners

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Alan Frame, Santa Clara cosmetic dentist, is offering a special promotion for Invisalign aligners. Patients can now receive Invisalign treatment at a discounted rate.  Patients who obtain the aligners also receive a free teeth whitening treatment.

Dr. Frame, Santa Clara Invisalign provider, can fit patients for Invisalign aligners in as few as two steps. First, Dr. Frame takes images of the patient's teeth, during the consultation. These images are sent to a laboratory that creates a detailed treatment plan. The lab makes a series of Invisalign aligners based on the treatment plan. During the next visit, Dr. Frame fits the aligners on the patient's teeth to check them for fit, and instructs the patient about the care and maintenance of the aligners. Patients will receive a new set of Invisalign aligners every two to three weeks. Each set of aligners shifts the patient's teeth slightly, moving the incrementally closer to their final position.

Invisalign aligners offer several advantages over traditional metal braces. They are transparent, so they are essentially unnoticeable to the naked eye. In addition, they are removable so they can be taken out for eating and oral care. Invisalign aligners can also shift the teeth much more quickly than traditional braces. Traditional braces can take as long as three to four years to complete their work whereas Invisalign aligners require only one to two years. Dr. Frame, Santa Clara dentist, can help you determine if Invisalign aligners are right for your needs.

About Dr. Frame, Dentist Santa Clara

Dr. Alan Frame, Santa Clara dental veneers specialist, has been practicing dentistry for over fifteen years. He graduated from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in 1996, and completed his General Dental Residency at UCLA in 1997. He is a member of the American Dental Association.

For more information, call (408) 244-3562 or visit http://alanframedds.com. Dr. Frame's office is located at 1171 Homestead Road, Suite 214 Santa Clara, CA 95050.

ICSA Labs and IHE USA Team Up to Deliver New Certification That Assures Security, Interoperability of Health Information Technology

New Service and Testing Will Begin at the 2013 North American Connectathon on Jan. 28 in Chicago

MECHANICSBURG, Pa., Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IHE USA, a nonprofit organization that drives adoption of standards-based interoperability to improve patient care, and ICSA Labs, an independent division of Verizon, unveiled on Tuesday (Dec. 4) a new certification program aimed at assuring the security and interoperability of health information technology.

The program will provide industry-accepted certification to complement existing conformance testing to IHE integration profiles to ensure that different software and systems can securely connect.

Certification to these profiles, which also provide significant underpinnings to Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) specifications, will give purchasers of health IT products independent third-party assurance that there is a standardized, repeatable process that ensures products are suitable for secure health data exchange, and that the products function as intended.

"Implementing products certified to the IHE profiles will allow health care providers and hospitals to take advantage of more complex workflows that can make a huge difference in applying information technology to health care," said Joyce Sensmeier, president of IHE USA and vice president of informatics at HIMSS. "Right now, a lot of products cannot 'talk' to each other, which makes it very challenging for health care providers to move to a paperless environment."

Participants who are registered for the 2013 NA Connectathon, sponsored by IHE USA, will be able to register for certification testing at the event, to be held on Jan. 28 in Chicago. For more information, click here.

Results will be evaluated by ICSA Labs, which will grant certification based on requirements set forth by IHE USA, and the general principles covered by ISO/IEC Guide 65 for organizations providing product certification. Certification also will include ongoing testing to ensure that certified products continue to perform as tested.

"Given our decades of experience as an independent testing and certification entity and as an ONC Authorized Certification Body, ICSA Labs is fully committed to accelerating the adoption of secure, and interoperable health information technology furthering the goal of improving patient safety and care," said ICSA Labs Managing Director George Japak. "Our new joint certification will have a significant impact on ensuring that the vision of health IT becomes a reality."

Certified products will be published by IHE USA, as well as in the official ICSA Labs product directory. Three tiers of certification will be awarded:

    --  Tier 1: Conformance to IHE profiles
    --  Tier 2: Demonstrated interoperability among disparate systems
    --  Tier 3: Validated implementations of deployed certified technology
Vendors interested in learning more about having their products certified to IHE integration profiles should contact IHECertification@icsalabs.com.

Innovative iPad Stand "Tabi" Launches in time for Christmas

Angle Adjustment in a Tiny Stand. Fits most Tablets.

SYDNEY, Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Australian Startup Tabi® today announced availability of the Tabi Stand. This is a brilliant little stand that you can throw in your bag. It provides instant support, at the angle you want, without any fuss. Very light but strong, there are no metal parts that might scratch your device. A unique slider lets you reach behind your screen with both thumbs and adjust your angle. Clever geometry keeps Tabi stable on hard surfaces like your desk and on soft surfaces like your bed. All contact points have been rubberized with the highest quality double injection molding. Tabi is available for $24.95 from tabistand.com. All shipping options have been discounted by $10 for Christmas. Free shipping to many destinations.

Tabi fits a wide range of devices including the iPad, the iPad mini, the Kindle Paperwhite and many similar tablets, phones and readers. Tabi accommodates most cases and combines well with thin folio covers.

"We realised the important thing about a stand is not how it supports your device but how comfortable it is to move from one environment to the next," says Tabi founder, David Bolliger. "When you stand up from the sofa and walk to the kitchen, your fingers hold the Tabi in place. This means your tablet is already in the stand when you set it down. You can lift your tablet out of the stand at anytime."

For those who like to read or browse in front of the TV, try a soft cushion on your lap with Tabi on top. The stand nestles into the cushion, holding the weight of your tablet so your hands can rest. This arrangement is also great for typing because the cushion supports your wrists. When you need to stand up, you clasp the tablet and stand with one hand, ready to set down again in your new location.

Tabi is a great tool for travel. Use it to watch movies on the plane or to get work done.

Tabi ships locally within the US from Los Angeles, and to the rest of the world from Hong Kong.

About Tabi

The Tabi company mantra is "Portable, Elegant, Simple"; Starting with the Tabi Stand, Tabi invents, manufactures and markets original products designed to enhance the usability of hand held devices.

eEuroparts.com Announces Exciting New Features to Website

WINDSOR, Conn., Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- eEuroparts.com, the #1 online retailer for Saab, Volvo, and BMW parts, is always working to make every visitor's experience with as rewarding as possible. New for the holiday season are four improvements and additions that will greatly enhance eEuroparts.com and anyone who interacts with it.

Natural Language Based Search - eEuroparts.com has developed a super-fast proprietary language based result system. Previously, a shopper would have to match a part name or part code exactly to the item or items on the site. After listening to customer feedback and analyzing the search data, eEuroparts found that many people search not literally but intuitively; that is, they search for terms like "BMW Floor Mat" or "Saab 9-3 Fog Light Assembly" instead of an exact part name. After 3 months of development, eEuroparts has created a search method that cuts missed searches by 60%.

Specials - Rather than give the customer a long list to wade through, eEuroparts has streamlined the process to make it easier to find items that are on Sale or Clearance and that fit only the vehicle the customer is buying for. Now users will see a new category called Specials in both the Vehicle Selector at the top of the page and in the left hand category column. The Specials category will contain both Sale and Clearance items that fit your vehicle. It is a simple way to pass the savings on to the consumer.

Gift Cards - eEuroparts gift cards make a great stocking stuffer this season. eEuroparts offers a plastic gift card that ships for only $1.95 and can be redeemed right on the website, or they can have a gift card code emailed to them last minute for no extra charge.

Product Sorting - Customers can now sort their search results by "Best Match," "Part Name," "Price," and "Part SKU." These new sort features are located at the top of each search results page.

Full press release available here: http://www.eeuroparts.com/Blog/
