D2s Unveils eBeam Solution That Both Reduces Photomask Write Time And Improves Photomask Accuracy At 20-nm Node And Beyond

D2s Unveils eBeam Solution That Both Reduces Photomask Write Time And Improves Photomask Accuracy At 20-nm Node And Beyond
TrueMask MDP is the First and Only Model-Based Mask Data Preparation Solution to Process Full-Chip Design Data for Production Applications
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- D2S®, a supplier of computational design platforms, today unveiled TrueMask(TM) MDP--the first and only model-based mask data preparation (MB-MDP) solution to offer fully automated, full-chip mask data preparation for complex photomasks with Manhattanized, curvilinear and ideal inverse lithography technology (ILT) shapes within practical, cost-effective write-times. Developed to address complex mask designs at 20-nm-and-below process nodes, TrueMask MDP reduces eBeam shot count to cut mask write time by 20 to 30 percent or more for these mask designs, while improving the quality of the wafer produced through built-in mask process correction (MPC).
According to Naoya Hayashi, research fellow, Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd., "Mask customers are interested in making a balanced trade?off between wafer quality achievable with complex optical proximity correction (OPC)/inverse lithography technology/source mask optimization and the turnaround time of masks. Of particular interest are sub?resolution assist features (SRAFs) and other sub-80-nm features that decorate the mask to improve wafer quality. D2S TrueMask(TM) MDP is the first and the most promising product we've collaborated on that uses the new model-based mask data preparation approach to enable both accuracy and reasonable mask write times."
At 20-nm-and-below process nodes, both the main features of photomasks and the SRAFs, which help preserve depth of focus (DOF) and critical dimension uniformity (CDU) for the main mask feature they support, but which do not print themselves, need to be increasingly complex in shape in order to ensure optimal patterning. However, the number of eBeam shots required to create these complex features has caused mask write-times--and mask costs--to skyrocket.
D2S TrueMask MDP enables fast and accurate full-chip modeling of complex mask shapes, including ideal ILT shapes, for both 193-nm immersion (193i) and EUV masks. Being simulation-based, TrueMask MDP takes advantage of overlapping variable shaped beam (VSB) shots, each with its own dose modulation, to write the desired mask shape more accurately and with fewer shots. Built to run on the graphics processing unit (GPU)-accelerated D2S Computational Design Platform, TrueMask MDP provides a seamless flow for simulating, preparing and verifying mask writer formats and instructions.
For complex Manhattan shapes, TrueMask MDP reduces mask write times by 20 to 30 percent or more compared to conventional fracturing. In addition, the resulting masks have better CD linearity and better CDU, particularly for small shapes, due to the built-in model-based MPC. For ideal ILT (curvilinear) shapes, which are impractical with conventional fracturing, TrueMask MDP reduces mask write times by more than 30 percent even when compared to Manhattanized versions of the ILT shapes. In addition, ideal ILT masks written with TrueMask MDP produce significantly higher quality wafers compared to those produced by the Manhattanized ILT masks written with conventional fracturing solutions.
Embedded in TrueMask MDP is D2S TrueModel(TM) technology, which includes a proprietary test chip designed to extract overlapping and dose modulation effects, and an automated model calibration engine. Corner-rounding models for masks that are bundled into lithography models found in traditional MPC solutions are no longer sufficient to model mask effects. Unlike these approaches, TrueModel technology models each mask shape in its own unique full-chip context--enabling TrueMask MDP to produce masks of a higher quality.
"Existing mask data preparation solutions are no longer sufficient to address the accuracy and write-time requirements for producing today's leading-edge complex photomasks. Mask makers need the ability to conduct full-chip simulation and automated model calibration, which can take into account new mask writing techniques like dose modulation and overlapping shots that are needed to extend lithographic scaling to the 20-nm node and beyond," stated Aki Fujimura, CEO of D2S. "TrueMask MDP combines these capabilities to enable mask makers to develop higher-quality masks in less time and at lower cost. It is the culmination of many years of effort to bridge the divide between design and manufacturing through innovations in eBeam technology."
TrueMask MDP is available today for customer engagements. For more information on TrueMask MDP, visit http://www.design2silicon.com/products_TrueMask_MDP.

5app Showcase Multi-platform App Toolkit That Enables Mobile Enterprise App Development at Apps World 2012
LONDON, September 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- Dr Tim King describes the mobile app development market as the new Wild
West -
Dr Tim King, Chief Technology Officer and founder of new technology start-up 5app
http://5app.co.uk is set to appear at Apps World 2012
[http://www.5app.co.uk/events/apps-world-2012 ] at 11:20am, October 3, London Earls Court
2. Tim King will be speaking at the Start-up session in the Developer Zone entitled,
"Mobile app development is the new Wild West - beware the cowboys!"
Tim King will be discussing mobile enterprise app development
[http://www.5app.co.uk/business/mobile-enterprise-app-development ] and the problems
software developers face when writing multi-platform apps
[http://www.5app.co.uk/business/multi-platform-app ] which require reliable data
communications. He will explain the need for caution in selecting your development
environment and some of the potential pitfalls for the unwary.
Tim King, is a veteran of the technology market; writing one of the world's first
relational database management systems as part of his Ph.D., then going on to write the
operating system AmigaDOS for the Commodore Amiga.
Apps World 2012 provides a great platform for 5app to introduce the industry to the
5app Toolkit, enabling business software developers to build multi-platform apps that will
communicate reliably, even when reception is intermittent. Applications are written only
once and the same version will work on all types of smartphones and tablets.
Tim King, CTO of 5app, comments, "The market for mobile enterprise app development is
growing exponentially, it's the new Wild West and it's very difficult to know which
technologies you can trust. It's particularly difficult when an enterprise wants to cover
a wide range of mobile phones as they all use different versions of multiple operating
systems."
Tim King continues, "There are also some hidden issues. Developers who are used to
writing apps that assume a device will have a constant and stable WAN or LAN connection
are very often caught unawares by the poor connectivity issues experienced with mobile
phones. At Apps World 2012, I will be explaining how these issues can be addressed using
5app's unique software development system."
5app has designed an environment for app developers to undertake rapid mobile
enterprise app development of business applications that feature full real-time reliable

Technical Toolboxes Introduces a New Pipeline Defect Prove-Up Technology

Technical Toolboxes Introduces a New Pipeline Defect Prove-Up Technology
HOUSTON, Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Technical Toolboxes and Seikowave have partnered together to transform the way pipeline owners, operators, and their select pipeline integrity service vendors "Prove-Up" pipeline defects identified during ILI & routine Inspections. Technical Toolboxes and Seikowave, Inc., a leading supplier of Structured Light 3D technology, now offer a complete packaged solution of hardware (the 3D Pit Gauge) and software (Image Processing & Integrated Defect Assessment Software including FSS 1,2,3, ASME B31G, RSTRENG, etc.) called the 3D Toolbox. The new solution is both faster and more cost-effective than anything available on the market today.
Hazardous liquid and gas pipeline operators are tasked with the responsibility of complying with the federal and state regulatory requirements to ensure that field data gathering of pipe and corrosion defects are assessed properly after in-line inspection runs, direct assessment or other maintenance activities. Yet too often, companies are hired using tools and technologies that do not meet today's regulatory standards. Technicians that are qualified in some tasks, but not experienced in all phases of direct examination of corrosion, gouges, dents, weld defects, cracks, wrinkle bends, SCC, construction defects, etc. have the most problems. One critical requirement consists of a systematic approach of gathering consistent defect data.
The innovative 3D Toolbox solution addresses the industry's needs for both repeatable and more accurate defect measurements, analysis, and storage that can comply with and exceed federal & state regulations and safety requirements.
The 3D Toolbox requires no special ditching, and is rugged (even meeting military grade specifications). It displays an average image footprint of one square foot that has micron accuracy and is repeatable with no special training. This solution can be easily transported, set up, and images can be captured and processed in seconds. The 3D Toolbox will augment any customer's existing prove-up tools with a single, reliable source for gathering and analyzing pipeline integrity information for a fraction of the cost of traditional disparate methods. This will help operators manage risk better, lower operating costs, and improve overall pipeline performance.
"This solution will become the new standard in pipeline inspection prove-up management," said Joe Pikas, Technical Toolboxes Vice President of Pipeline Integrity. "3D Toolbox will radically change the way pipeline owners and operators conduct business, respond to issues, and maintain regulatory compliance. This product solves many of the issues the pipeline industry has faced over the last decade by connecting people with the tools they need to gather more quickly, accurately and repeatable pipeline defect data."
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline & Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), there are more than 2.5 million miles of pipelines in the U.S. with about 3,000 pipeline operators. This represents a massive potential market that can benefit from this new integrated management solution.
Joe Summa, President & CEO of Technical Toolboxes said, "This 3D Toolbox provides users with the ability to perform a complete analysis in the field or make real-time pipeline defect data available to the central office, thus enabling more cost-efficient field data collection and analysis. Personnel in the field will be able to connect and update data from laptops, tablets, smart phones and other portable devices."
"We are extremely pleased that Technical Toolboxes selected Seikowave's Structured Light 3D technology," said Matt Bellis, President of Seikowave. "Technical Toolboxes is a well-known, quality brand in the Energy Industry with many not-for-profit research and new technology affiliations which have been used to assist in the development and testing of this exciting technology in the Energy Industry."

Aldata Introduces Mobile Shelf Management for Android and iOS
New offering brings lower cost, cloud based, and real time performance to field sales and retail store operations; store and brand associates enjoy benefits of modern mobile platforms
ATLANTA, Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Aldata, a global leader in retail and distribution improvement software, today announced Aldata Mobile Shelf Execution, a new addition to Aldata's well-established Space Management product range. Mobile Shelf Execution improves the management of merchandising in store by putting real time information in the hands of CPG field and retail operations personnel. It ensures that the right products are available to customers at the right time, in the right quantity and in the right location.
Retailers can use Aldata's approach to ensure planogram (POG) compliance by employees stocking shelves and manufacturers can leverage it to scan and upload SKUs, create reports and share information with others. Initial release capabilities include POG implementation, POG capturing, POG compliance and reporting.
Aldata hosts each client's information in a Cloud-based data store. Product-level information, including planograms and images, is uploaded to the Cloud, and the application is configured to link the data to in-store smart devices on-demand. Users can then access relevant information on a permission basis to implement or capture planograms, for compliance checking or reporting. As a result, both CPG manufacturers and retailers realize the following benefits:
-- Affordable smart devices access/capture information wherever and
whenever it's needed, then upload it to the Cloud for immediate review
and analysis within the user's organization.
-- A smaller data footprint is maintained on the device by hosting product
images and data that is not needed for a specific task in the Cloud.
-- Data on demand via mobile networks and WIFI ensures flexible, pre-load
capabilities so workers can perform their duties in the store, on the
road, or at their office or home.
-- Low-cost commercial model combines software license, set-up and data
hosting/management in one monthly subscription payment.
"Everyone appreciates the immediacy and convenience of accessing information via their smart device," said Allan Davies, Aldata's Chief Marketing Officer. "Aldata Mobile Shelf Execution enables both field and store personnel to be faster, more accurate, and more flexible in the way they work, making their job easier and improving their organizations' performance."
The solution is currently available for use on Android smart phones with iPhone and tablet devices following shortly.

Aldata hosts each client's information in a Cloud-based data store. Product-level information, including planograms and images, is uploaded to the Cloud, and the application is configured to link the data to in-store smart devices on-demand. Users can then access relevant information on a permission basis to implement or capture planograms, for compliance checking or reporting. As a result, both CPG manufacturers and retailers realize the following benefits:
-- Affordable smart devices access/capture information wherever and
whenever it's needed, then upload it to the Cloud for immediate review
and analysis within the user's organization.
-- A smaller data footprint is maintained on the device by hosting product
images and data that is not needed for a specific task in the Cloud.
-- Data on demand via mobile networks and WIFI ensures flexible, pre-load
capabilities so workers can perform their duties in the store, on the
road, or at their office or home.
-- Low-cost commercial model combines software license, set-up and data
hosting/management in one monthly subscription payment.
"Everyone appreciates the immediacy and convenience of accessing information via their smart device," said Allan Davies, Aldata's Chief Marketing Officer. "Aldata Mobile Shelf Execution enables both field and store personnel to be faster, more accurate, and more flexible in the way they work, making their job easier and improving their organizations' performance."
The solution is currently available for use on Android smart phones with iPhone and tablet devices following shortly.

Polk Joins Forces with Microsoft As Premium Audio Solutions Partner for Xbox 360
-- New Partnership To Promote Polk Audio Products As A Preferred High Performance Sound Solutions For the World's Best Selling Gaming And Media Console --
BALTIMORE, Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Polk Audio®, the Speaker Specialists®, and Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business jointly announce a new collaboration that will position Polk as a strategic premium audio solution partner for Xbox 360. Nearly 70 million consoles have been sold worldwide, and a recent Strategy Analytics study shows that 65 percent of US-based Xbox users under the age of 25 rely on it as their go-to device for online TV show and movie streaming. ("Multiscreen Connected TV: Assessing Device Usage and Ownership," November 2011) The Xbox 360 isn't merely the best-selling video game console of 2011; it's also one of the most popular digital media hubs on the market.
"The Xbox 360 offers an immersive experience with a host of streaming services like Netflix, HBO GO, and MLB.TV, and unparalleled interactive features like voice control and cross-platform search, so in looking for a Premium Audio Solutions partner, we wanted a company with an equally innovative approach to sound," said Branden Powell, Director of Strategic Alliances for Xbox Accessories Team. "We chose Polk not only for that, but also for their leadership position in the speaker market, as well as their superior engineering capabilities."
The first product from Polk to be licensed for Xbox 360 will be the new SurroundBar 5000 Instant Home Theater, a compact, easy-to-setup, easy-to-operate sound bar. Measuring just 31 inches wide and 2¼ inches deep, with a 6½ inch wireless subwoofer, the SurroundBar 5000 is the perfect match for the Xbox 360 and a mid-sized flat panel display. With over fifty times the power of most built-in TV speakers, the SurroundBar 5000 IHT is perfect for delivering Xbox 360 owners with a superior and immersive audio experience, whether gaming, watching movies, or listening to music, all without the need for surround speakers or additional amplification. In addition, the SurroundBar 5000 is the first Polk Audio SurroundBar to include Bluetooth for easy streaming of digital audio content from any smartphone or tablet.
"We believe Xbox 360 offers the most versatile home entertainment experience for every member of the family," said Kevin Duffy, President of Polk parent company DEI Holdings, Inc. "Whether you use it primarily for streaming, gaming, or watching DVD's with the kids, Xbox 360 together with Polk's superior sound will provide a feast for the eyes and ears. And this is just the start; we're working together with the Xbox Third Party Accessories Team to develop new, groundbreaking gaming and streaming sound solutions for 2013 and beyond."

Gyft Launches Mobile Gift Card Platform to Give Consumers On-the-Go Access

Gyft Launches Mobile Gift Card Platform to Give Consumers On-the-Go Access
More than 100 Retailers Integrate with Gyft, Including Amazon.com, Sephora, Brookstone, and Lowe's, to Improve Consumer Experience
Company Announces Funding from Google Ventures, Founder Collective and 500 Startups
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gyft, Inc., a company devoted to making gift card management easy, today unveiled its new digital gift card platform. Gyft is poised to change the $100 billion gift card industry by enabling shoppers to manage all of their gift card needs from one simple mobile interface. The platform also provides retailers with an innovative way to market to customers ensuring that no gift card goes unused. Currently, Gyft supports more than 100 leading retailers, including Amazon.com, Sephora, Brookstone and Lowe's. The company also launches with more than $250,000 in FREE cards for users that download the app.
Gyft overcomes current issues that limit the potential of gift cards, which often end up lost, stolen, or forgotten. Gyft solves these challenges by allowing consumers to upload existing plastic cards to their mobile phones and provides an innovative way to send new gift cards to friends and family members via Facebook, email, or text.
"Gift cards allow anyone to purchase the ideal gift, but practically speaking, they're very problematic," said Gyft CEO and co-founder Vinny Lingham. "Gyft changes that by bringing all of consumers' gift card needs into one easy-to-use mobile interface."
How Gyft Works
Consumers simply download the Gyft app, which allows users to manage all of their gift cards in one place. Users add gift cards by entering the cards' information which is then stored in the owner's 'wallet' and can be redeemed in-store or online.
Users can send gift cards to their friends around important events such as birthdays and anniversaries. One of Gyft's best features is that users can get FREE gift cards by simply downloading the app via the iTunes app store or by visiting http://www.gyft.com.
Gyft Extends Revenue Opportunities for Retailers
In addition to the ease-of-use benefits associated with the consumer experience, Gyft's platform creates a meaningful new revenue channel for brands. For the first time, retailers gain visibility into the consumers that hold their gift cards. This enables them to offer relevant promotional gift cards based on user demographics and interests to help acquire and retain customers. They can also send reminders and launch special offers to get shoppers into their stores, ensuring that gift cards are redeemed and driving additional sales. Gyft also provides the mechanism to increase consumers' social engagement with brands.
"Retailers are always searching for new ways to stay in touch with their customers, and Gyft gives them the targeted means to do so," noted CJ MacDonald, Gyft COO and co-founder. "There is a myth that retailers love the breakage on gift cards. The reality is it's better for both consumers and retailers when the card is used."
More than 100 leading retailers have already integrated Gyft's digital gift card platform, including Amazon.com, Sephora, Brookstone, and Lowe's.
"We are delighted Amazon.com Gift Cards will be included with the new Gyft application. We look forward to working with Gyft to enable their customers to purchase and send Amazon.com Gift Cards," said Craig McGlynn, Sales Manager, Amazon.com Gift Cards.
Company Poised to Capitalize on $100 Billion Industry
Gyft debuts with backing from Google Ventures, Founder Collective, and 500 Startups. The funding will be directed to scaling the company, further product development, and extending its partner eco-system.
"Gyft has developed a consumer app that leverages the advantages of mobile devices for millions of shoppers," said Joe Kraus, general partner at Google Ventures. "We look forward to working with the Gyft team to build out an exciting product that addresses a huge market while changing the way consumers and retailers use gift cards."
Gyft is currently available to download for FREE in the iTunes app store or via http://www.gyft.com. Retailers interested in becoming a partner, please visit http://www.gyft.com.

QualiSystems' Test and Lab Automation Framework Secures Equipment Access in the Network Testing Lab

QualiSystems' Test and Lab Automation Framework Secures Equipment Access in the Network Testing Lab
TestShell 4.8 enables lab managers to improve performance and network lab protection with new device access control capabilities
SANTA CLARA, California, September 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
QualiSystems today announced the TestShell 4.8's ability to maintain secured access to
lab equipment. Only TestShell has the capability to streamline lab managers' control over
lab devices and improve testing lab efficiency through remote scheduled access.
With the new device access control capability, TestShell 4.8 brings the highest level
of protection available for mature lab testing environments. Whereas other solutions
merely alert users that a device has been targeted for testing, TestShell offers secure
device reservations to guarantee uninterrupted testing processes by blocking access to
topology-reserved devices. In addition, lab managers can completely eliminate
device-access by unauthorized intruders who may intend to break into an organization's
network lab.
TestShell's access control is achieved by providing a single protect path for
interacting with lab devices through integration with firewalls and access switches if
used, and by allowing users to define an open or closed path according to the device
reservation time span. In the latest TestShell version, commands to launch equipment
without a prior reservation will be ignored, while testing-related applications can be
initiated directly from the interactive topology diagram to speed up and simplify the
test-topology creation processes.
The device access control capability also allows testing managers to create
reservations for external users who will then be notified of their reservation via email.
At the beginning of the reserved time period, a secure channel opens in the firewall for
the outside tester to access needed equipment under test. After the application is
completed, the firewall closes and further access is denied.
"TestShell 4.8 was designed to accelerate lab management and automation and offers
upgraded user experience and powerful collaboration capabilities to network testing teams
that implemented the framework in the lab," notes Eitan Lavie, VP Product and Marketing of
QualiSystems. "The device control access capability strengthens lab managers' competency
to control lab devices and operations, acting as an invisible barrier against test
interruption while offering the authorized user a set of tools for increased working
efficiency."

TribeHR Puts Social HR Into High Gear
Unveils New Ways for HR Managers to Recruit, Engage and Recognize Employees through LinkedIn, Facebook and Corporate Social Networks
WATERLOO, Ontario and BOSTON, Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TribeHR, pioneer of the industry's first social HR platform,today introduced enhancements to its cloud-based application that help HR managers and business owners improve social recruitment, drive employee engagement and foster strong corporate cultures. TribeHR is the only comprehensive solution for SMBs that manages the entire employee lifecycle, from recruitment and applicant tracking, to time off tracking, salary history, and performance management--making HR less about paperwork and more about people.
TribeHR is introducing new LinkedIn and Facebook features that help HR managers simplify and amplify social recruiting.
-- LinkedIn Integration. TribeHR-driven job postings now feature a new
"Apply with LinkedIn" button enabling busy job candidates to quickly
declare their interest in a position. TribeHR automatically builds an
applicant profile based off of the candidate's LinkedIn profile, and
allows a designated team of reviewers to rate, rank, comment, interview,
and hire the right candidate.
-- Facebook Job Posting Application. HR managers can now automatically
update their company's Facebook page with open job positions, and allow
prospective employees to submit their applications through Facebook.
Companies can now inexpensively amplify and widen their application
pools by leveraging their followers and employees' social networks to
attract the best candidates.
TribeHR's new social recognition and feedback features help HR managers develop and retain talent by recognizing employees who embrace the organization's values and workplace culture.
-- Facebook Feedback. TribeHR helps motivate employees to work harder and
improve their teamwork by giving kudos to their colleagues in
recognition for jobs well done. TribeHR records this feedback and stores
it on the employee's personnel file for easy access during annual
reviews.
Now, with permission from their HR manager and the employee who gave kudos, recipients can share the positive feedback they receive with friends and family by pushing it to their Facebook timelines. Sharing workplace accomplishments on Facebook not only helps employees feel good about their successes, but also promotes brand awareness and business referrals.
-- Social Feedback. To get a more complete picture of employee performance,
many HR managers collect 360 social feedback from peers, direct reports,
and other workplace associates. TribeHR's new 360 Social Feedback
feature lets users request and collect feedback at any time from anyone
in the organization. This new capability helps managers easily collect
real-time feedback as part of a formal review, or continuous feedback on
any employee.
"Vibrant businesses are those that are committed to not only providing employees with regular feedback but also recognizing good performance," said Joseph Fung, TribeHR CEO. "The enhanced TribeHR platform makes soliciting fresh insights from peers simple and instantaneous, and sharing recognition even more social."
"TribeHR helps to lessen the burden of administrative functions so you can focus more on strategic initiatives, employee programs and areas with a larger impact," said Rebecca Graham, HR Manager for Enflick. "We use the kudos feature often and think employees will really embrace being able to share these professional compliments on their own social networks."
Pricing and availability.
The new features on the TribeHR platform will be rolled out starting September 2012. For more information visit http://tribehr.com/pricing/.

NETGEAR ReadyNAS Firmware Update Delivers Breakthrough Technologies For File Syncronization And Mac Backup

NETGEAR ReadyNAS Firmware Update Delivers Breakthrough Technologies For File Syncronization And Mac Backup
Includes NETGEAR ReadyDROP for Subscription-less, Unlimited, Secure, Real-time File Syncing and NETGEAR Remote Backup for Apple® Time Machine®
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, today announced NETGEAR RAIDiator(TM) 5.3.6, a firmware update for NETGEAR ReadyNAS® Duo and NETGEAR ReadyNAS NV+ storage systems that enables users to access, manage and backup data in ways never before possible on a networked attached storage (NAS) device. NETGEAR RAIDiator 5.3.6 is a big leap forward enabling NAS users to stop putting their data in someone else's cloud, as well as ensuring that Apple Time Machine users are backed up whenever they are connected to the Internet.
The inclusion of NETGEAR ReadyDROP(TM) in the firmware enables a secure personal storage cloud to be created featuring Dropbox(TM)-like drag-and-drop file functionality without the storage limits, cost, access or security concerns associated with subscription-based cloud backup and synchronization solutions. Files stored securely on ReadyNAS Duo or ReadyNAS NV+ automatically synchronize across all enabled devices including PCs, Macs, Apple(®) iOS and Android handhelds. Users will be able to edit, store, retrieve and view files from any of the supported devices while knowing that their data resides on their own storage box, not in someone else's cloud.
RAIDiator 5.3.6 also features remote backup for Time Machine(®), which allows Apple(®) Time Machine(®) backups to be written directly to the NAS device through the Internet from any remote location and connected device. Until the introduction of this remote backup capability, users could only perform local backups and were required to pay a subscription fee for cloud backup. Now, Apple Time Machine users will remain backed up whenever they have an Internet connection without having to use someone else's cloud.
The additional features of the NETGEAR RAIDiator 5.3.6 firmware include ReadyDLNA(®) for remote mobile client media streaming directly from a ReadyNAS device, and NETGEAR ReadyNAS Replicate -- a disaster recovery solution that mirrors data on ReadyNAS devices to multiple locations, all of which can be managed securely through the cloud. All of the features and applications come included in the firmware update, or with the purchase of a new NETGEAR Duo or NV+.
The NETGEAR RAIDiator 5.3.6 Difference:
-- NETGEAR ReadyDROP for file synchronization across multiple devices
-- Remote backup of Macintosh computers
-- NETGEAR ReadyDLNA client for remote media streaming
-- Replication for simple off-site disaster recovery is now included
"The NETGEAR RAIDiator 5.3.6 firmware update makes it so much easier to add functionality to the ReadyNAS, and I really appreciate the peace of mind that comes from knowing that with ReadyDROP, my files are always where I need them and I don't have to pay an additional subscription fee for this accessibility," said Alper Turget, CEO of Anvato. "I cannot believe how much more I can now do with my ReadyNAS."
"NETGEAR is known for developing innovative, cost-effective and easy-to-use technologies that address the huge challenges storage poses to SMBs," said Matt Pahnke, senior manager of product marketing for the NETGEAR commercial business unit. "NETGEAR RAIDiator 5.3.6 demonstrates our commitment to helping home-and small-business users get the most value from their investments in NETGEAR NAS solutions. It further affirms our leadership in the desktop storage market."
Pricing and Availability
The NETGEAR RAIDiator 5.3.6 firmware update for ReadyNAS Duo and ReadyNAS NV+, and all of its features, is available for free for download worldwide at http://www.readynas.com on September 11(th), 2012. The firmware and features also come standard with the purchase of any NETGEAR NAS solution.

The additional features of the NETGEAR RAIDiator 5.3.6 firmware include ReadyDLNA(®) for remote mobile client media streaming directly from a ReadyNAS device, and NETGEAR ReadyNAS Replicate -- a disaster recovery solution that mirrors data on ReadyNAS devices to multiple locations, all of which can be managed securely through the cloud. All of the features and applications come included in the firmware update, or with the purchase of a new NETGEAR Duo or NV+.
The NETGEAR RAIDiator 5.3.6 Difference:
-- NETGEAR ReadyDROP for file synchronization across multiple devices
-- Remote backup of Macintosh computers
-- NETGEAR ReadyDLNA client for remote media streaming
-- Replication for simple off-site disaster recovery is now included
"The NETGEAR RAIDiator 5.3.6 firmware update makes it so much easier to add functionality to the ReadyNAS, and I really appreciate the peace of mind that comes from knowing that with ReadyDROP, my files are always where I need them and I don't have to pay an additional subscription fee for this accessibility," said Alper Turget, CEO of Anvato. "I cannot believe how much more I can now do with my ReadyNAS."
"NETGEAR is known for developing innovative, cost-effective and easy-to-use technologies that address the huge challenges storage poses to SMBs," said Matt Pahnke, senior manager of product marketing for the NETGEAR commercial business unit. "NETGEAR RAIDiator 5.3.6 demonstrates our commitment to helping home-and small-business users get the most value from their investments in NETGEAR NAS solutions. It further affirms our leadership in the desktop storage market."

Posted on September 11, 2012 at 7:35:01 AM
Calgary Scientific's ResolutionMD(TM) 3.1 Goes Global with Latest Release
Now available in 10 languages to address growing global interest
CALGARY, Alberta, Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Calgary Scientific Inc., a company known for creating transformative technology that reshapes industries, introduces ResolutionMD(TM) 3.1 to the global medical community. The industry-leading web and mobile universal medical image viewing software, already in use globally, now supports 10 languages and the company will continue to expand its market share through partnerships with many of the world's most notable global OEM partners.
ResolutionMD is known for its FDA clearance for diagnosis on mobile iOS and web, web and cloud scalability, data security, comprehensive collaboration capability and rapid access on both iOS and Android devices. All of these factors have led to increased global demand. The ability to locate and access patient images and reports in real time, without any of that data ever remaining resident on the computer or mobile device is one of the key ways the company has differentiated itself. The application also demonstrates advanced collaboration functionality embedded within the product, allowing multiple users to share and interact with the application in real time from multiple locations and devices simply by clicking on an embedded link within an email or text. Patient data access made accessible from anywhere, on high and low bandwidth networks, gives doctors the full picture needed to make a diagnosis from anywhere.
Highlights of the 3.1 enhancements:
Expanded Language Support: ResolutionMD will now be supported in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese for both ResolutionMD Web and ResolutionMD Mobile.
Split-view layout on tablet devices - iPad and Android Tablet users can now view images side by side with ResolutionMD, for effective review of a study and comparing of images. Previous releases introduced new layout options on the web, now they are available on various mobile devices.
Presentation State - ResolutionMD has expanded its multi-site data access abilities, and can now view the DICOM GSPS from multiple PACS solutions, based on a single simultaneous geographical search. GSPS can be viewed on both web and mobile devices, making image and results distribution even more meaningful to the physician.
IT level feature access configuration - ResolutionMD 3.1 is now completely configurable, flexible, and customizable at the IT and license management level. ResolutionMD can now be configured to progressively add in levels of increased capability and sophistication to suit the needs of each site install. A user can begin with basic 2D capabilities and then build upon that to include MiP/MPR and full 3D; mobility; and real time collaboration, with each incremental level of sophistication and capability available to suit the makeup and needs of the end users, and the budgets of the enterprise.
"Over the past four years, ResolutionMD has grown from a great viewer into a powerful integrated component of Healthcare Interconnected Enterprise platforms used to securely access images, reports and patient data needed to make a whole-picture diagnosis of a patient, regardless of where the data resides geographically, or which vendor's storage system it is housed," says Pierre Lemire, President and CTO of Calgary Scientific. "We have grown strong relationships with leading luminary partners and those relationships have helped guide our product development so we are constantly leading the market with customer-focused technology innovations."

Wanderful Launches New Collection of Interactive Storybook Apps Originally Published by Living Books for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
Interactive, Animated, Multilingual Apps - Mercer Mayer's "Little Monster at School," Marc Brown's "Arthur's Teacher Trouble," Aesop's "The Tortoise and the Hare" - Inspire Kids to Read
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Wanderful launched today a new collection of engaging and multilingual interactive storybook apps for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch based on classic titles originally published as Living Books by Broderbund Software. These interactive storybook apps deliver imaginative and fully interactive experiences for young and emerging readers through high-quality animated content loved by children, parents and teachers alike. The three new apps - Mercer Mayer's "Little Monster at School," Marc Brown's "Arthur's Teacher Trouble" and Aesop's "The Tortoise and the Hare" - are now available on the App Store.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120618/LA25538LOGO)
Wanderful apps are highly intuitive and encourage children to explore each story and all its content. With original production budgets approaching a million dollars each, every app features custom music, extended animation and hundreds of interactive hot spots and antics, providing a deeper experience and more interactivity on one page than other story apps offer in total. While fully interactive at the page level, each app also includes the classic "Read to Me" mode that lets young readers watch and listen to the story play automatically.
Wanderful has created an easy-to-use dynamic language function that allows readers to switch languages on-the-fly from anywhere in the story - a stunningly simple and powerful feature unlike anything found in other interactive storybooks or eBooks. Launching in English, Spanish and French, future versions of the products will be available in Japanese, German, Italian, U.K. English and Brazilian Portuguese.
"Wanderful's new interactive storybooks bring back the beloved and best-selling Living Books. These rich experiences enable today's digital families to read, play and learn together," said Mickey W. Mantle, president and CEO, Wanderful. "Each Wanderful interactive storybook is a truly 'wanderful' experience - full of surprises, whimsy and humor - and an invitation to discover because everything inside each storybook is alive."
The first three Wanderful interactive storybooks are now available for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch for $4.99 on the App Store:
-- "Arthur's Teacher
Trouble"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/arthurs-teacher-trouble-wanderful
/id549865969?ls=1&mt=8
-- "Little Monster at
School"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/little-monster-at-school-wanderful

-- "The Tortoise and the
Hare"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tortoise-hare-wanderful-childrens/id
537280719?ls=1&mt=8
A premium upgrade is available for all three apps for $2.99 via In-App Purchase, which includes a 40-80 page Classroom Activities guide as well as regular feature updates. French can be added for a $1.99 In-App Purchase and is included in the "Little Monster at School" and "Arthur's Teacher Trouble" apps premium upgrades.
About Wanderful
Originally introduced in 1992 by Broderbund Software, Living Books were the industry's first highly interactive storybooks and embraced by educators, praised by parents and cherished by children. Twenty years later, Bay Area-based Wanderful has assembled key members of the original team, including Living Books creator Mark Schlichting, to re-invent the wildly popular interactive storybooks. The team has built an entirely new multi-platform engine to drive the story experience on the latest tablets, phones and computers, resulting in interactive storybook apps designed for today's generation of digital kids.

Campus Management Partners with SchoolDocs to Provide Electronic Document Management Solution for its Student Information System
Partnership Enables Colleges and Universities to Go Paperless
BOCA RATON, Fla. and DALLAS, Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Campus Management Corp., a leading provider of enterprise software products and services for educational institutions, and SchoolDocs, a document management and compliance-tracking solution designed specifically for career colleges, today announced their new partnership.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100924/CAMPUSLOGO )
The partnership will provide clients with pre-audit preparation tools, document inventory and compliance management by integrating Campus Management's student information system, CampusVue® Student, with SchoolDocs' Records Management System. The SchoolDocs platform enables colleges and universities to adopt electronic forms to eliminate paper and reduce imaging or scanning of documents. The partnership will help improve the flow of information and accessibility to documents across the entire institution by creating a centralized repository that can track a document's history.
"SchoolDocs transformed the way information is processed from a prior paper-based, manual process to one that has become a new benchmark in the way staff and managers access documents to make decisions and complete tasks," said Ron G. Maillette, Executive Vice President, CIO and CSO Virginia College.
"By partnering with SchoolDocs, Campus Management clients will be able to move away from manual paper-based processes that slow down or cause errors in many administrative tasks," said Dan Germain, Senior Director of Strategic Business Development for Campus Management. "Through the SchoolDocs platform campus staff can virtually access documents and complete tasks across various departments and campuses, saving both time and money."
"Colleges and universities who rely on CampusVue Student now have the ability to manage all their documents electronically," said Andrew Hatfield, VP of Sales and Marketing at SchoolDocs. "Electronic documents in SchoolDocs can be monitored for compliance issues and send alerts to school management to initiate corrections. Administrators will have the ability to track a document and ensure its integrity remains intact and run reports of documents that should be, but are not in a student file, based on the lifecycle of the student."

Casio Celebrates Its Privia Digital Piano Line With The Launch Of Four New Models At Beyond Sound

Casio Celebrates Its Privia Digital Piano Line With The Launch Of Four New Models At Beyond Sound
Popular Artists Including Karmin, Tom Brislin and Enferno Perform Live
DOVER, N.J., Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate the evolution of its popular Privia digital piano line, Casio America, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of electronic musical instruments, is hosting Beyond Sound today at the Edison Ballroom in New York City. The launch party will also commemorate the significant milestones Casio has reached within the musical instrument category.
In 1980, Casio introduced the Casiotone, the company's first electronic keyboard that was designed to replicate the sounds of a grand piano, organ and guitar. More than 30 years later, Casio continues to revolutionize the music industry and "go beyond sound" with an expanded portfolio of digital keyboards that signifies the company's commitment to providing exceptional performance quality for aspiring musicians and music lovers alike.
Building upon its current collection of technologically-advanced electronic musical instruments, Casio is proud to introduce four new models to its well-known Privia line of digital pianos at Beyond Sound- the PX-150, PX-350, PX-750 and PX-850. Equipped with Casio's new proprietary sound source, "AiR" (Acoustic and intelligent Resonator), the new Privia models deliver unmatched realism and detail.
Casio's proprietary AiR engine provides sensational dynamics, utilizing 4 layer stereo dynamic piano samples. The new Privia digital pianos also have more than three times the waveform memory, providing richer, longer and more natural grand piano sounds. The AiR engine provides damper resonance which allows you to hear the dampers lift off the strings when the sustain pedal is used. AiR even compensates for the speed at which hammers strike strings at different velocities and key ranges for the ultimate touch to sound connection.
"We are extremely excited to celebrate the arrival of the next generation of the Privia digital piano line," said Stephen Schmidt, Vice President of Casio's Electronic Musical Instruments Division. "Casio prides itself in continuing to evolve the Privia line, as well as all of its musical instruments, in order to meet the needs of today's musicians and provide them with quality products to express their passion of music and performance."
Artists including Karmin, Tom Brislin and Enferno will perform live at Beyond Sound II, where attendees will experience firsthand the four new Privia digital pianos in addition to other key models in Casio's growing portfolio.
Originally announced at the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Show in July, the new Privia models are stylish, lightweight and provide a comprehensive set of features ideal for any musician inside or outside of the studio. All four new models feature a redesigned 88-note Tri-sensor Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard. The simulated ebony and ivory textured keys on these digital pianos reproduce the touch feeling of an acoustic piano while the scaled weighted action keyboard provides the depth and integrity of an acoustic piano. Simultaneously, the tri-sensors capture a performance with more accuracy and speed than most traditional keyboards, resulting in an authentic piano touch that captures every detail and nuance. This is all intended to provide a natural sensatory feel for the musician while delivering the sounds and benefits of a digital piano.
"Casio's AiR sound source is regarded as one of the highest technologies in the music industry," said Schmidt. "We are proud of the progress we have made and will continue to enhance and develop high quality electronic musical instruments that raise the bar within the music industry - stay tuned!"

TurboPage with ActiveCompression Improves Network Efficiency while Dual-Stack IPv4/IPv6 Eases Transition to New Internet Protocol
GERMANTOWN, Md., Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- HughesNetwork Systems, LLC (HUGHES), the global leader in broadband satellite networks and services, today announced new features for its flagship HN and HX Systems enabling significantly higher bandwidth efficiency as well as support for the latest generation IPv6 Internet addressing.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110112/NE29456LOGO )
Hughes TurboPage® with ActiveCompression(TM) provides up to 50 percent compression gain of transmitted HTTP traffic by compressing both text and image data. Higher compression reduces the volume of data transmitted through satellites, increasing overall network bandwidth efficiency and performance. Hughes ActiveCompression is a "lossless" compression algorithm that preserves the original quality of both text and images even as it enhances delivery speed to users.
Hughes has also designed a dual stack IPv4/IPv6 capability which enables the simultaneous support of both protocols. Implementing IPv6 is fast becoming a critical issue for every telecommunications service provider as the availability of new IPv4 address space is quickly disappearing.
"These new features future-proof our customers' networks," said Adrian Morris, executive vice president, engineering at Hughes. "The Internet's growth creates an almost endless demand for new bandwidth. Growth is also causing the Internet to outstrip its own protocols. By providing network operators with higher compression rates for more efficient bandwidth use and dual-stack support to ease the transition to IPv6, we've given them the tools to ride out the Internet's growing pains without disrupting service to their customers."
These new features are available on both HN and HX Systems. On the HN System, two new terminals are being released that support these features, namely: HN9260, optimized for consumer applications, and HN9460, optimized for enterprise applications. On the HX System, these features are supported on the HX50L, HX90, HX200, HX260, and HX280 terminals.
These terminals are available for shipment immediately. More information can be found at http://broadband.hughes.com.
