Ukraine Helps Google Recognize Faces

KYIV, Ukraine, October 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    Motorola Mobility, acquired by Google in May 2012, closed the deal to purchase
Ukrainian IT company Viewdle. The company offers face, object, and gesture recognition
technology products, allowing, among other features, an automated photo tagging.
Reportedly, Google paid USD 30-45 million for the venture. The company could use face
recognition technology in its Picasa service, as well as for Android devices.

    This purchase confirms the great IT potential of Ukraine, as well as high
professionalism and talent of Ukrainian developers, said Viktoriya Tigipko, Director of TA
Venture. Viewdle was created in Kyiv in 2007. It attracted millions of dollars of foreign
investment, including money from BlackBerry Partners Fund, states Interfax.

    The news excited the worldwide web with Androidcommunity anticipating usage of the
face recognition technology in Google Glass - one of the most progressive technology to
date in the sector of augmented reality. "Imagine looking at a friend and having the
glasses recognize them and tell you key facts such as when their birthday is or what their
favorite topics of conversation are," suggests the news website.

    Notably, Ukrainian IT outsourcing sector has been reported to boom by Financial Times
in August 2012. The Eastern European country earned over USD 1 billion on its IT services
export in 2011 alone, stated the paper. Comparably, in Romania the IT outsourcing exports
are estimated at USD 586 million, in Poland - USD 451 million, according to Central and
Eastern European Outsourcing Association. IT outsourcing market volume in the neighboring
Hungary roughly equal USD 475 million.

    An estimated 16,000 IT specialists graduate each year in Ukraine. The country boasts
the largest pool of engineering resources in Central and Eastern Europe with around 25
percent of the regional IT offshoring market, according to the comment for Financial Times
by a CEO of a US-based outsourcing company that employs 1,900 specialists in Ukraine.

    Interestingly, in less than two weeks - on October 18-19 - the largest international
conference of internet businesses in Central and Eastern Europe arrives to Ukraine's Kyiv.
A place for startups and investors to meet and collaborate, the conference will feature
such prominent speakers as Adrian Burleton, Studio Moderna COO, Anupam Mittal, People
Group CEO, and the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister of Social Policy Serhiy
Tigipko.

VoterHub provides real-time essential information for voters and offers a social platform for voters to connect and share with each other

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T and the Pew Center on the States and Politics-360 announced the 2012 debut of VoterHub, a smartphone application designed to serve as a nonpartisan clearinghouse for essential voter information for the upcoming November 2012 General Election.

The smartphone app hosts many additional features such as: voter registration information, voter specific polling place information, sample ballots, access to Associated Press real-time election coverage, videos, candidate and local ballot initiative information, and election results. VoterHub also allows the user to set up alert reminders and notifications for key dates and results.

In addition, the app allows users to share content easily through several different social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Foursquare, and email.

"This is why we are thrilled to launch VoterHub which brings together all of the critical information voters need in one easy-to-use app. VoterHub aims to educate voters and encourage Americans to have their voices heard by voting in the upcoming election."

VoterHub uses information from a variety of national organizations to inform voters and encourage them to take part in the November election. The Voting Information Project--a joint effort of state and local officials, the Pew Center on the States, Google Inc., AT&T and Microsoft Inc.-- provides the VoterHub app with critical and official information for voters including state-specific voter ID laws, national and local candidate information, and details on local ballot initiatives.

Northrop Grumman Highlights Airport Realtime Collaboration Capabilities at Airport IT&T Conference, Munich

LONDON, Oct. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Northrop Grumman Corporation's (NYSE: NOC) Europe-based airport systems group is participating in the Airport IT&T Conference, Munich, where it will demonstrate its Airport Realtime Collaboration (ARC) suite capabilities.

The conference, organised by International Airport Review, takes place Oct. 10-11 at the Municon Conference Centre, Munich and aims to assist airports in reducing operational costs whilst increasing operational efficiency.

ARC technical expert Dr. Mario Gongora, associate director of the Centre for Computational Intelligence at De Montfort University, will speak as part of a keynote discussion panel on "The Airport of the Future." He will also be available at the Northrop Grumman exhibit to discuss the ARC capability.

The Passenger Flow module of Northrop Grumman's ARC capability utilises the expertise in intelligent algorithms developed by Dr. Gongora for the analysis, simulation and forecasting of complex systems and behaviours.

ARC is a portfolio of software solutions and services that supports collaboration across the airport's operations, and is designed to provide the airport community with more accurate and timely information for enhanced decision making.

"The Passenger Flow module of ARC offers airports a simple way to use existing data sources in a smarter way, giving more accurate forecasting and higher predictability, ranging from long-term planning to real-time warning of an expected surge of people at security," said Charles Houseago, managing director of Northrop Grumman's airport systems group. "We are delighted that Dr. Gongora has taken the time to be here at Airport IT&T and to help us to promote our ARC capability."

The ARC Passenger Flow module gives airport operators and security partners far better accuracy in their long and medium term planning and also early warning of unexpected changes in passenger flow rates.

Intigold Mines Ltd. - TTAGIT Strategic Alliance with KRED

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lori McClenahan, President of Intigold Mines Ltd. (IGD - TSX:V) (U.S. OTCQX: IDMNF) (the "Company"), announces that TTAGIT Social Networks Inc. ("TTAGIT") has formed a strategic alliance partnership with KRED.  The Company owns a 51% interest in TTAGIT.

KRED Influence Measurement, or KRED, is a measure of influence created by PeopleBrowsr, a San Francisco based social media analytics company, to identify influential people in interest-based communities. KRED scores are generated by observing a social network user's content, who it reaches, who acts upon it, and whether the user relays the content of others. Developed on the principle that 'We all have Influence Somewhere, KRED delivers overall network scores as well as unique scores within each of a user's communities.

By TTAGIT aligning with KRED, the goal is to build a user base targeted at NFL fans who wish to build influence in the social network arena. The partnership with KRED also comes with the launch of TTAGIT Hubs which act as groups for users to gather in similar categories. The NFL Hubs will demonstrate how users can create Hubs in any category they wish and post as those Hubs on any URL using the browser extensions. Hub leaders can choose to accept requests from users to join the Hubs and post with 1500 characters as opposed to the standard 500 characters.

TTAGIT is an open forum discussion social network that manages commenting across the Internet and allows users to comment on any URL without multiple logins using a Chrome browser extension. TTAGIT has a Chrome extension, an Android application and also works on Google TV

Twitter retweets, mentions and replies are included in everyone's score. Visitors to KRED.com may also opt to include Facebook interactions in their score.

Users may give KRED to anyone that they feel is deserving of extra recognitions for the influence in a community.

KRED is the only social influence metric to include points accrued for 'real-world' accomplishments, known as 'KRED Moments.

Powering KRED Story is KRED's access to the Twitter firehose that lets it mine any and all tweets in real time.  "The next version of KRED takes it beyond being just a number," said KRED CEO Andrew Grill, who described KRED story as a user's "visual stream of influence."

Developed and owned 51% by Intigold Mines Ltd., TTAGIT technologies are geared toward the rising mobility use and the upcoming Internet TV.  There is also a model built in to TTAGIT that lets advertisers post within a related comment feed.  TTAGIT is a mobile application and website that will be a valuable tool for reporters, politicians, comedians and the general public.

StartupValley Enables Technology Startups To Pitch Ideas On Prelaunch Crowdfunding Platform

Equity Crowdfunding Site Allows Investors to Browse and Follow Startup Pitches

SADDLE BROOK, N.J., Oct. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Equity crowdfunding site StartupValley offers entrepreneurs and growing businesses the ability to share ideas in a new section of the site's prelaunch platform. The new "Pitches" section of the site enables startups to gain feedback and exposure through comments and social medial sharing from members of the crowd. The page also ensures that startups remain up-to-date with the most immediate action possible for equity crowdfunding before the JOBS Act takes effect in January 2013. Similarly, the "Pitches" provide investors with the option to "follow" startups featured on the site. This feature shows both entrepreneurs and investors which ideas garner the largest following, and which ideas have the highest potential for success.

StartupValley is currently in beta until the JOBS Act comes into effect and the SEC releases the rules and regulations currently being established for funding portals. However, the equity crowdfunding platform remains on the cutting edge of government standards and technological innovation.

Founder and CEO of StartupValley, Daryl H. Bryant implemented the "Pitches" page to guarantee StartupValley's success, but moreover, to ensure that the startups flourish:

"The Pitches page is a crucial component of StartupValley. By allowing entrepreneurs to showcase their ideas, we are not only helping small businesses gain exposure, but also giving them the ability to provide market research on their company before this all takes effect. A pipeline of prepared entrepreneurs is central to the success of equity crowdfunding."

Entrepreneurs have already begun pitching their ideas on StartupValley and investors have started to "follow." The "Pitches" section allows startups to create their own profile on the site and features full pitch, updates, followers, documents and comments sections. The profile also includes a social media "share" button and allows for optional video embedding.

Bryant is a member of the Crowdfunding Intermediary Regulatory Advocates and a co-founding board member of the Crowdfunding Professional Association. StartupValley has also received its Crowdfunding Portal Accreditation by CrowdSourcing.org. On October 9, 2012 StartupValley will attend Crowdfunding Bootcamp and the First Annual CfPA National Conference in Lake Las Vegas, NV to promote and educate best crowdfund investing practices.

Those interested in inventing, investing, or exploring should visit StartupValley.com today.

Leading Industry Analyst Firm Names QuestBack as Niche Player in 2012 Social CRM Magic Quadrant

OSLO, Norway, October 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    QuestBack [http://www1.questback.com ], a global leader in enterprise feedback
management [http://www1.questback.com/solutions.html ] (EFM) and social customer

    According to the Gartner Magic Quadrant report published on September 27, 2012 and
authored by Adam Sarner and Ed Thompson: "Social CRM works only if users voluntarily
participate in communities, and they will do so only if they receive benefits. At the same
time, the enterprise needs to realize measurable benefits; otherwise, it makes no sense to
expend resources on social CRM. For the enterprise, social CRM applications increase
profitability or another measure of value by building trust, gaining customer insight,
differentiating products or services and increasing sales."

    Gartner evaluates vendors based on completeness of vision and the ability to execute
on that vision, and have raised the bar for inclusion in this year's report.

    "We are delighted to be recognized by Gartner for our work in Social CRM," says
QuestBack CEO Ivar Kroghrud. "Our quest is to create the winners of the experience
economy. Social channels - along with local and mobile - are of increasing importance to
our clients, and provide an amazing opportunity to build lasting, mutually-beneficial
relationships between brands and consumers."

LONDON, October 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    RIVS launches revolutionary app, TagLikeMe racking up visitors and Raspberry PI
crosses Atlantic

    RIVS, a provider of online human resources tools, has announced the launch of a
revolutionary new iOS application that will allow companies of all sizes to streamline and
enhance their digital recruitment options.

    The free RIVS app
[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/rivs-leads-hiring-software-market-with-unprecedented-mobile-app-for-employers-172719781.html ]
works in conjunction with the company's
website, giving recruiters the opportunity to file job vacancies, review open positions
and even conduct live interviews with potential candidates, all by using an iPhone or
iPad. The combination of live interview capability and the ability to review candidate
videos is a first in the industry, and is a step that CEP David Wieland believes is
crucial in order for companies to hire the right people. Speaking after the launch, Mr.
Wieland said, "the hiring landscape is changing and employers need to be equipped with the
best tools to compete in a tough market".

    TagLikeMe, an innovative social network start-up based in the UK, has become a major
player in the world of social networking overnight, after it revealed that the site had
received over 200,000 unique visitors
[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/social-search-and-share-site-taglikeme-attracts-over-200000-unique-visits-in-four-weeks-drawing-comparison-to-social-media-phenomenon-pinterest-172709791.html ]
in just four weeks.

    The visitors accessed the site during a trial phase, designed to test the public's
demand for the site's services, which include the ability to search the Internet and share
interesting information with their followers, much like US based Pinterest. The site has
managed to set itself apart from the competition by offering a comprehensive and powerful
search capability, drawing on results from Google, Bing and Yahoo!, as well as linking in
with other popular social sites like Twitter and Facebook.

    Social start-ups are traditionally faced with heavy competition from the major
players, although initial analysis of the trial has revealed some impressive results,
including a highly promising visitor return rate of 12% - the industry standard is just
2%-3%.

    The Raspberry PI
[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/charlotte-latin-school-first-in-u-s-to-teach-using-popular-raspberry-pi-computer-172702641.html ]
, a product designed by the Raspberry PI
Foundation in London to aid in technological education, has made its debut in a US
educational institution, after North Carolina's Charlotte Latin School decided to trial
the device in its engineering department.

    Students will use the device to advance their understanding of basic computer
programming, with the school's engineering teacher, Tom Dubick, enthusing over the
students' ability to "get to play and try new ideas" in a sandboxed and affordable
environment, with the price for the device currently standing at just $35.

StraTech Assets Acquired by Datalink

CARY, N.C. and NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- StraTech, a brand of Midas Medici Group Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: MMED), today announced the closing of the transaction to sell the majority of its assets. Both StraTech and Datalink focus on optimizing enterprise data centers and IT infrastructure through common product and services portfolios designed to help customers increase business agility.   

Datalink purchased StraTech for a consideration of $20.25 million including the issuance of 269,802 shares of Datalink common stock, and subject to certain adjustments based on acquired assets and liabilities. Datalink assumed approximately $20.8 million of StraTech's liabilities and acquired approximately $16.0 million of assets. As part of the transaction,  Midas Medici also retained Stratech's real-estate portfolio asset valued at $5.0 million and entered into a long term lease with Datalink for part of the available square footage.  The closing of this transaction is subject to a final audit expected to be performed within the next 90-120 days. 

"We are pleased with the strategic sale of our StraTech business," said Nana Baffour, CEO and co-founder of Midas Medici and executive chairman of StraTech. "For the past two years, we have successfully grown StraTech and attracted several marquee customers to the organization, which Datalink considers to be valuable assets. We were able to do this in the midst of a severe economic recession as well as the significant adverse impact of SUN's acquisition by Oracle.  I am particularly proud of our leadership team and the talented employees at StraTech who made this possible, as well as the great customers that trusted us to serve them over the years."

"We have always strived to have the best possible environment to serve our customers and provide our employees with meaningful career opportunities," said StraTech President Bob McCarthy.  "Combining our assets with Datalink achieves this goal while enabling the business to maintain the excellent growth it has experienced over the past two years.  I am confident our customers will see great value in the combination of StraTech and Datalink,  and that our employees will continue to prosper.  I would also like to thank all of our employees for their contributions over the years to help make this transaction possible."

"StraTech has built a strong data center-focused business that closely aligns with our products, services, and approach to helping companies optimize their data center operations," said Paul Lidsky, president and CEO, Datalink. "These synergies, along with StraTech's solid customer base and large team of knowledgeable field personnel, will help us expand our regional and national footprint as we continue to help organizations take advantage of today's transformational data center technologies."

Datalink, based in Minneapolis, MN, will continue operations of most of StraTech services and offerings.  Datalink extended full-time positions to approximately 80% of StraTech's ninety-one employees.  An additional ten employees will work a transition services contract.  Transition services positions, primarily in accounting and internal IT, are redundant with current Datalink employees, and will be eliminated after the transition period.

Brain training continues its global expansion

CogniFit launches its online brain fitness platform in Brazil and Portugal

NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CogniFit, a leading developer of online brain training and cognitive programs, announces the release of its online brain fitness platform in Brazilian and Portuguese adding two new languages. The CogniFit brain fitness platform is now available in more than 30 geographies in 7 different languages including English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Brazilian and Portuguese consolidating its position as a global leader in the brain fitness industry.

The capacity to assess and train our brain health is one of the most important abilities we possess. In an aging society, a growing number of individuals are looking for solutions to remain cognitively fit. The demand for health and wellness products is also soaring across age groups. Thus, offering a global platform is a key element for a healthy and more productive lifestyle for individuals around the world.

Carlos Rodriguez, Chief Technology Officer at CogniFit, explains: "Our aim is to help individuals across the globe to better understand their current cognitive state and provide them with the tools to improve their brain health and emotional state. Continuing the roll out of the CogniFit platform and brain games to new geographies helps us satisfy that implicit demand."

Research has shown that training cognitive abilities can bring valuable benefits to the trainees for a large variety of needs, which may, in turn, be instrumental in improving quality of life. For example, people with serious cognitive deficit have a tendency to procrastinate at work, be less optimistic and feel less confident. They may experience stress, anxiety and depression as a result of their inability to perform satisfactorily.   

The CogniFit brain fitness platform assesses and trains a wide selection of cognitive abilities such as short-term memory, eye-hand coordination and focus. The platform is free to use and users can add specific applications to their training for as low as $4.99.

CarbonSystems Top-Five Global Software Leader: New Analysis of Enterprise Carbon Accounting & Sustainability Software Vendor Market

SYDNEY, Oct. 5. 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CarbonSystems has been named a top-five global leader in the enterprise carbon accounting (ECA) and sustainability software market in a new report analysing the performance of 75 software vendors.

The analysis released today by Groom Energy confirms the increasing adoption of ECA and sustainability software by large corporations seeking to track and report their sustainability performance in areas such as carbon emissions, energy, water, supply chain and waste.

In the last 24 months more than 600 large corporations including American Airlines, Adidas, Microsoft and Volkswagen Group have adopted ECA and sustainability software.

The new report is intended as a buyers' guide for organisations seeking independent advice about software vendors that can best meet their needs. Its intended audience includes CIOs, CFOs, Directors of Sustainability/Energy/Facilities, and sustainability and environmental consultants.

The analysis reveals three leading drivers to adopt enterprise carbon accounting and sustainability software: requests from top customers for annual environmental data; a desire to enhance company image and increase brand loyalty; and, cost savings from improved energy management.

The report ranks software vendors on five weighted criteria - number of customer deployments, technology features, sales momentum, market vision and financial stability. Inputs for each weighting were based on software demonstrations, vendor interviews, customer discussions and case studies.

"This new analysis confirms the maturation and consolidation of the carbon and sustainability software market with a trend for a handful of top vendors to win increasing market share," says CarbonSystems CEO,David Solsky. "Buyers of carbon accounting and sustainability software want solutions that offer fast deployment and broad functionality that can be easily tailored to their assets and facilities.

"The report confirms our view that corporations want software that lowers the cost and complexity of capturing, managing and analysing their sustainability data so they can improve their operational and financial performance. It also reveals that pressures such as carbon emissions regulation, rising energy costs and investor expectations are driving more large corporations to be more accountable for their sustainability performance."

2013 Buyers' Guide for Enterprise Carbon Accounting & Sustainability Software - available here.

CarbonSystems helps organisations to collect, manage and interpret their sustainability data, enabling them to positively impact their operations, their financial performance and the planet.

Stylish Glasses Provider Rivet & Sway Introduces Free Personal Stylist to Help Online Shoppers Make Perfect Frame Selection

SEATTLE, Oct. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- When hunting for eyewear, knowing which frame, color or size look best can be a challenge if you don't bring a trusted friend (and who has time for that?). Rivet & Sway (http://www.rivetandsway.com), a new women's prescription eyewear brand and online boutique, today introduced its free online personal stylistservice to ensure shoppers get honest and helpful advice about which frames look best without leaving home.

The online personal style service helps women browsing the site to understand which frames flatter their face shape, hair, eye color and personality, so they can pick three best bets to try-on at homebefore deciding on their favorite. Alternatively, or in addition to this, Rivet & Sway's personal stylist service also assists shoppers who have already selected their three glasses to try-on at home, in order to help them pick the winner and place their prescription order.

"Unfortunately, so many women pick the wrong frames because they do not know what to look for or what will emphasize their best features," said Ritzy Ryciak, a Personal Stylist for Rivet & Sway. "To avoid a tedious trip to the optometry office, Rivet & Sway makes online shopping even easier by providing one-on-one advice to best harness the ultimate fashion accessory - eyewear."

To use the personal stylist service on the Style Advisor section of the website, shoppers simply fill out a short survey about style preferences, and upload an image of themselves. Shoppers are then personally contacted by a Rivet & Sway stylist within 24 hours to schedule a consultation appointment. Consultations are conducted either via web video chat, phone or email, dependent on what is easiest and most convenient for the shoppers. During the consultation, Rivet & Sway's stylist will assess the eyewear options and provide a recommendation on which frames would work best. 

Launched earlier this year, Rivet & Sway provides stylish glasses for women, including dozens of high quality frames available in a wide range of colors and styles created exclusively by the brand. Shoppers can select their favorite three frames try-on at homeat no charge and with no obligation to purchase. Once a frame is selected, prescription orders can be placed for just $199, including free upgrades, and the stylish new specs arrive in one week. Rivet & Sway also offers helpful guides, complimentary upgrades and free rush shipping.

"We are proud to be the first and only women-focused online eyewear company to make the process of shopping for eyewear easy and inspirational," said John Lusk, CEO of Rivet & Sway. "As we continue to lead the industry with unique offerings, the personal stylist service represents our dedication to shopping satisfaction and how we aspire to delight our customers."

TIM Brasil Rolls Out Wi-Fi Offload With Aptilo and Retis in Advance of Major Sport Events in Brazil

STOCKHOLM and RIO DE JANEIRO, October 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    -- South America's Largest Favela and Brazil's Airports First to Get Wi-Fi --

    In preparation for the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games, TIM Brasil, the second
largest mobile operator in Brazil, has begun a major Wi-Fi initiative to deploy wireless
broadband throughout Brazil. Through systems integrator Retis, Aptilo Networks, the
leading provider of mobile data offloading solutions, is providing TIM Brasil with a
complete Wi-Fi and mobile data offloading solution that allows for a cost-effective, fast
rollout; decreases 3G network congestion and improves operator's customer experience.

    (Logo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121004/567331 )

    The Aptilo solution offloads mobile data from TIM Brasil's HSPA and HSPA+ networks
through Aptilo's Wi-Fi platform. Utilizing the fiber network of TIM Intelig and TIM Fiber
as a backbone, TIM Brasil will leverage Aptilo's mobile data offloading
[http://aptilo.com/solutions_mobile-data-offloading.htm ] and Wi-Fi
[http://aptilo.com/solutions_mobile-data-offloading.htm ] solutions on a national basis.

    TIM Brasil's aggressive expansion plans are expected to offload mobile data traffic,
using over 10,000 hotspots to be deployed throughout Brazil.

    "People from all over the world will flock to Brazil to celebrate the World Cup and
2016 Olympics. The ability to offload mobile data to Wi-Fi will ease network congestion
significantly and increase data speeds, for an exceptional user experience," said Rafael
Marquez, Marketing Director at TIM Intelig. "This is also an opportunity to bring Wi-Fi to
high-dense areas where fixed Internet cannot reach, such us our favelas where we have a
fast-growing customer base so everyone can stay connected."

    TIM Brasil has been the first private company to deploy low-cost wireless broadband in
Rocinha, the largest favela (low-income shantytown neighborhood) in South America. Rocinha
houses a quarter of a million people in two square miles. TIM Brasil will roll out
Aptilo's Wi-Fi and mobile data offloading solution to favelas as recently done in
Paraisopolis (Sao Paulo), providing Internet access to orphanages, schools and other
community organizations that otherwise would not have connectivity.

    TIM Brasil has also deployed Aptilo's Wi-Fi and mobile data offloading solution to the
main 15 airports in Brazil, including Sao Paulo, Rio, Recife and Brasilia.

    In advance of 2014 World Cup, TIM announced a partnership with Vasco da Gama, a major
team in Rio de Janeiro, to provide, by the end of this year, Wi-Fi access for spectators
in its private soccer arena.

    TIM Brasil also innovated being the first operator in South America to utilize EAP-SIM
Authentication. Aptilo's SIM Authentication Server
[http://www.aptilo.com/products_sim-authentication-server.htm ](TM) is highly scalable and
optimized to deliver an automatic, secure and seamless mobile data offload experience. It
authenticates users via the SIM card (utilizing EAP-SIM/AKA) in their mobile device as
they move from TIM Brasil's 3G network to Wi-Fi, ensuring an "invisible" handoff as users
move from 3G to the Wi-Fi network.

    The SIM Authentication Server also helps TIM Brasil monetize the network. When
customers are authenticated as they move from the 3G to the Wi-Fi network, they are
brought to a portal page to approve the minimal daily charge for Wi-Fi access.

    "With the Retis-Aptilo solution, TIM Brasil's customers enjoy an easy-to-use
experience and TIM Brasil has opportunities to generate revenue. Everyone benefits," said
Paolo Di Loreto, Country Manager of Retis do Brasil.

    "Mobile data offloading delivers an exceptional customer experience by enabling a
seamless flow from one network to another," said Torbjorn Ward, CEO, Aptilo Networks. "TIM
Brasil and Retis are bringing Internet access to those who otherwise would not have the
opportunity. We are proud to be working with them."

SafeToSleep Announces Launch of Innovative Sleep and Breathing Monitor at ABC Kids Expo

DETROIT, Oct. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SafeToSleep(TM) (http://www.SafeToSleep.com) announced the launch of its innovative new baby product, the Sleep and Breathing Monitor, a breakthrough in infant sleep safety that monitors each breath of a sleeping baby with hospital accuracy and streams the breath wave to a smartphone as it occurs. The Sleep and Breathing Monitor will alarm upon detection of slow, fast, and no breath events. The system tracks sleep time, generates sleep quality reports, and is wireless and portable. SafeToSleep(TM) will debut the Sleep and Breathing Monitor at the 2012 ABC Kids Expo, Booth 1233.

Unlike current baby monitors that use audio, video, or movement to monitor a sleeping baby, the SafeToSleep system uses advanced fiber optic technology to detect the baby's actual breath rate and breath wave. The breathing information is streamed to a smartphone (or included Parent Unit) as it occurs to alert parents of irregular breathing events. The system generates sleep time and sleep quality reports to help parents identify issues such as sickness or pain at the earliest possible stage.

"For the first time, parents can monitor the breathing of their sleeping baby, with clinical accuracy, every single time they put their baby to sleep," said SafeToSleep co-founder, Dr. Ryan Santangelo. "This technology turns what has traditionally been a low-function gadget - the baby monitor - into a tool that will play a central role in infant care and sleep safety for generations to come. It is an evolution of the baby monitor to the greatest degree."

The Sleep and Breathing Monitor has been hospital tested and clinically validated for accuracy. The hospital testing has shown the monitor to be as accurate as the breathing monitors used in hospital pediatric units around the world.

The Sleep and Breathing Monitor will be available online at http://www.SafeToSleep.com in December 2012 and at select retailers beginning January 2013. The product will retail for USD $329.

About SafeToSleep:
The purpose of SafeToSleep(TM) is to improve infant care through the invention, improvement and application of user-friendly and intuitive technologies. The company was co-founded by brothers, parents, and technologists Ryan Santangelo, PhD and Pete Santangelo. Find out more at http://www.SafeToSleep.com.

B&O PLAY, by Bang & Olufsen, Announces the Launch of its Premium Active Speaker System, BeoPlay A9

Featuring a powerful, wireless sound experience, original design and unprecedented placement flexibility

COPENHAGEN, Denmark and NEW YORK, Oct. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- B&O PLAY proudly announces the launch of its latest active speaker system, BeoPlay A9, which integrates an all-star line-up of dedicated components with provocative design to create a complete sound solution that is as easy to listen to as it is to decorate with. With the launch of BeoPlay A9, B&O PLAY extends its innovative range of wireless sound systems with the most powerful performer yet. BeoPlay A9 features a 2.1 bass reflex loudspeaker system that combines five dedicated speaker units and amps with timeless design to create a complete sound solution.  BeoPlay A9 features a fine-tuned DSP (digital signal processor) algorithm that makes one's music collection come alive and deliver surprisingly rich bass tones which are cultivated and cool with the patented Adaptive Bass Linearization technology. 

To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/58407-b-o-play-bang-olufsen-launches-premium-active-speaker-system-beoplay-a9

(Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121004/MM85946)

In addition to its striking design and sound performance, BeoPlay A9 presents wireless connectivity and magically simple operation and it caters to individual listening needs as they change throughout the day or night. Just plug it in, connect it wirelessly to an iPhone, iPad or Android device, and BeoPlay A9 starts streaming via AirPlay or DLNA. The sound is big enough to fill even the most spacious room, (as it outputs 480 watts of power) and so lush that it rivals much more complex systems.

According to Henrik Taudorf Lorensen, VP at B&O PLAY, BeoPlay A9 is all about simplicity. "We asked Oivind Slaatto, a young designer who also has a strong interest in music, to create a design that is as free of visual noise as possible, and then had our engineers empower it with truly amazing sound. The result is a liberating take on acoustic performance with a cleanly graphic look that is intuitively easy to use."

Turning the party dial up - or down - has never been easier. Swipe a hand across the touch sensor to control volume, or mute the system by simply resting a hand on top of it.  Additionally, you can select tracks and adjust volume with your smartphone or tablet. The connection panel beneath the unit also includes a mains socket for power, line-in, and a USB socket that lets you soft dock and charge your device.

BeoPlay A9 packs two ¾-inch tweeters and two 3-inch midrange units, all four driven by separate 80-watt class D amplifiers, to deliver sparkling highs and spaciously defined middle tones. An imposing 8-inch bass unit, powered by no less than 160 watts from its own class D amplifier, lays down authoritative and tightly controlled oomph through the bass reflex construction hidden behind the unit. Three pre-set sound modes for wall, corner or freestanding positions optimize acoustic performance depending on how you choose to fit BeoPlay A9 into your home.

BeoPlay A9 is more than willing to both fit in and stand out in your decor, as it can be placed either on the floor or hung on the wall. Screw in the wooden legs to place it on the floor right where you need it, or use the wall bracket to add a circular canvass alongside the rest of the art in your home. You can even choose between a range of colors for the fabric cover, and change them in a snap.

Solid wood legs are available in oak, beech or teak. Fabric covers are available in silver, white, black, red, green and brown.

Prices begin at USD $2,699.  BeoPlay A9 will be available at Bang & Olufsen stores, the B&O PLAY online store (store.beoplay.com), Apple Online, and select design stores in select markets from second half of November 2012.

Transform 2D Data into 3D City Models Faster with Esri CityEngine 2012

New Version Includes 3D Web Viewer for Expanded Sharing Capabilities

REDLANDS, Calif., Oct. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Esri CityEngine 2012, the latest version of Esri's software to create smart 3D city models, is now available. Esri improved CityEngine with a new graphic user interface and refined workflow designed to speed transformation of 2D GIS data into smart 3D cities. In addition, 3D city scenes can be shared directly through custom URLs, in ArcGIS Online, or on web servers of private organizations.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110425/LA88950LOGO)

Easy-to-use editing tools are now integrated into the CityEngine interface, providing more immediate visual feedback. Esri also simplified the workflow for creating 3D city scenes. From starting with a 2D building footprint to being fully finished, creating highly detailed 3D city scenes now only takes five steps.

"For CityEngine 2012, we focused on improving the key workflows in GIS, urban planning, and entertainment production," says Pascal Mueller, director of Esri R&D Center Zurich. "We developed new tools for the 3D editing of buildings, introduced 3D zoning techniques for better urban design, and made CityEngine fully compatible with ArcGIS."

Sharing 3D city models is also easier than ever via the new CityEngine 3D Web Viewer. Three-dimensional models can now be exported as URLs that display in a browser-based viewer. This greatly expands CityEngine sharing capability because scenes can be opened independent of CityEngine on any Internet-accessible device.

"Smart cities of the future will be designed more transparently, and the design process will engage citizens," says Esri president Jack Dangermond. "With CityEngine 2012, smart city scenes can be published directly on ArcGIS Online for sharing new developments, design proposals, and before-and-after-comparisons with nontechnical decision makers and the public."

CityEngine is available for the Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms in Basic and Advanced versions. CityEngine Advanced is available with single or concurrent use licensing and comes with all features, including Python and advanced import/export format support.

AT&T First To Launch Galaxy Camera; Samsung Defines New Category With 4G Connected Camera

Samsung Galaxy Camera(TM) combines high performance photography and AT&T 4G wireless connectivity to enable seamless sharing across devices and with social media

DALLAS, Oct. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* and Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (Samsung Mobile)(1) today announced the Samsung Galaxy Camera(TM) coming to AT&T.  The Galaxy Camera combines high performance photography with Android(TM) 4.1 Jelly Bean and AT&T 4G mobile internet connectivity, resulting in a powerful point and shoot camera with a familiar, intuitive user interface and access to all of your favorite Android applications from the Google Play(TM) market.

The Galaxy Camera is a perfect fit for those who wish to shoot, edit and share brilliant photographs and video easily and quickly without connecting to a laptop or PC. The Galaxy Camera features a 4.8-inch HD Super Clear LCD screen, boasts a 21x optical zoom lens and a super-bright 16MP BSI CMOS sensor for shooting high-quality images close up and in low light conditions. This device is powered by a quad-core 1 GHz processor for quick and responsive performance ensuring you can capture the shots you want. It also includes powerful features like Smart Pro Mode technology, which allows you to toggle through a series of pre-set options that simplify the processes for taking professional-level images.

"Wirelessly enabling Samsung's Galaxy Camera will create a significant shift in how consumers share and communicate with photos and videos," said Chris Penrose, senior vice president, AT&T Emerging Devices. "By posting instantly to social networking sites or sending directly to another device, the person behind the lens is essentially offering family and friends the opportunity to share in the moments as they are actually experiencing them. We're excited that the AT&T wireless network will help enable these opportunities."

"Once again, Samsung has defined a new category of mobile devices and AT&T is leading the way to bring this device to consumers. The Galaxy Camera brings together Samsung's latest innovations in mobile and optical imaging technologies to provide the first connected camera running on the latest Android platform," said Dale Sohn, President of Samsung Telecommunications America.

In addition to being able to share to social networks and cloud services on the go, consumers can harness the speed and connectivity of AT&T's wireless network to share images and videos between Galaxy Camera and a range of Galaxy(TM) devices including the Galaxy S® III and Galaxy Note® II.

The Galaxy Camera is designed with several of the key content sharing features first introduced with the Galaxy S III including:

AllShare® Play

    --  Locate Samsung HDTVs, laptops and other devices on the same Wi-Fi®
        network that are ready to receive photo and video files. Users can

Share Shot

        Galaxy S III, and Galaxy Note devices up to 200 feet away
