clearpath Offers U.S. Immigration Solution for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)

NEW YORK, Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- clearpath(TM), the leading provider of simplified immigration solutions, offers the first and only way for individuals to complete forms online for the temporary clemency program Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). clearpath enables the nearly two million "DREAMers" to complete the new forms using its simple, secure online solution for under $100.

Developed by U.S. immigration agency leaders with unique expertise, clearpath is a patented Web-based solution offering dynamic, individualized guidance. Using plain language, it utilizes an interview-style format to help users choose and complete the correct form in as little as 15 minutes - at a fraction of the cost a lawyer or notario would charge.

"While many websites will direct you to expensive consultative services, or charge for 'information packets,' clearpath will allow you to complete the application online." said Michael J. Petrucelli, Chairman and Founder, clearpath, and former Acting Director and Deputy Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

clearpath eliminates the hassles and confusions of paper-based filing systems. It simplifies complex language and provides error-checking to avoid rejection for common mistakes. Filing online avoids long lines at government offices, as well as the risk of fraud or abuse. Furthermore, the service is much less expensive than services offered by non-attorney third parties commonly known as notarios. Both USCIS and the American Bar Association have launched campaigns to highlight the problem of notario fraud.

"I cannot emphasize enough how our intelligent software helps our users avoid common errors. This is especially critical as any mistake, however small, can be life-changing in such an important process," said Alan Samuels, CEO, clearpath.

The immigration filing market is ripe for digitization. Each year 100 million forms are filed with the USCIS. Legal residents typically file multiple forms over a period of years as their status changes. Each year, law firms and other advisors and consultants generate over $10 billion in fees.

Backed by ff Venture Capital, a leading capital provider to innovative and disruptive technology companies, clearpath is currently focused on enhancing product offerings and fueling marketing.

About clearpath Inc.

clearpath is revolutionizing the confusing, costly and paper-based immigration filing process, just as TurboTax transformed tax filing. More than 100 million immigration forms are filed each year in the U.S., with any one person filing multiple forms over a number of years as his or her status changes. clearpath's patented software was developed by former U.S. immigration agency leaders who understand how to navigate the government's complex system. Our simple online solution offers all the most requested forms including citizenship, deferred action for childhood arrivals, H1-B visa, work authorization, green card, etc. Using plain language, clearpath walks a user, step-by-step, through each form, checking data in real time for potential errors and compliance. clearpath's solution is easy, secure and affordable, costing roughly one-tenth of the fees charged by lawyers or notarios. This venture-backed technology company was founded in 2008 by Chairman Michael J. Petrucelli, former deputy director and acting director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Ricoh tackles the challenge of mobile worker productivity

New Ricoh Mobile Worker Services include mobile printing, scanning, document storage, collaboration and more

WEST CALDWELL, N.J., Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As organizations struggle to accommodate an increasingly mobile workforce, Ricoh Americas Corporation today detailed its new Ricoh Mobile Worker Services portfolio designed to give mobile workers instant access to the information they need to be productive.

Smartphone and tablet users are typically frustrated in their attempts to securely access, store, scan and print information in the office, on the road or working remotely. Ricoh Mobile Worker Services, among the first in a series of Ricoh's new Business Information Solutions, directly address these challenges.

Ricoh Mobile Worker Services capabilities will serve the growing population of mobile workers who are part of the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) movement. According to a recent study, 78 percent of U.S. employees use a mobile device for work, and 95 percent of organizations allow employee-owned devices in the workplace.

"Although we're firmly in the BYOD age, organizations are still struggling to reap mobile devices' full potential as business tools," said Dominic Pontrelli, Senior Vice President of Business Development for Ricoh Americas Corporation. "With Ricoh Mobile Worker Services, we'll help our customers realize this huge potential, giving mobile workers the right business information at the right time whether they're at home, on the road, at customer sites or moving around the workplace. The goal is a tailored business information solution that helps mobile workers be more productive, and work securely."

True mobility for a mobile worker includes the ability to print from any Internet-enabled device; use all the key capabilities of enterprise applications; collaborate fully with colleagues, customers and partners; and access the cloud for storage and sharing. For organizations, a comprehensive mobile worker solution involves centralized data storage, full audit trails, encrypted data, guest printing, resource conservation and reduction of the carbon footprint. Ricoh Mobile Worker Services encompass many of these capabilities, making personal devices a key component for enterprise information input, processing and output.

Ricoh Mobile Worker Services employ technology solutions such as:

Ricoh HotSpot mobile printing, which makes it easy for mobile workers to print documents from any Internet-enabled device to any HotSpot-enabled multifunction product (MFP) or printer - without having to download software or log onto the network.

The Ricoh DocumentMall cloud-based content management service, which simplifies the capture, storage, management, sharing and collaboration on documents from any device, whether mobile or fixed. DocumentMall provides comprehensive security and compliance capabilities.

A free HotSpot Printing app, which locates the closest HotSpot-enabled public printers (over 5,000 globally) via GPS mapping or manual search fields. Employees can set HotSpot-enabled devices as default printers as they would their desktop computer.

Unicorn Media Enables Customers To Easily Comply with New FCC Closed Captioning Regulations for Online Video

Beginning September 30, 2012, Network and Web Video Sites Must Comply with New Rules

TEMPE, Ariz., Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- With the proliferation of smartphones and tablets, mobile and online video consumption has grown exponentially as more viewers access content via the web rather than from television sets. Advocates for the hearing impaired successfully lobbied to broaden regulations designed to improve access to television programming by including online broadcast of TV shows as content that must include closed captioning. New requirements go into effect on September 30, 2012, and Unicorn Media, the leading Internet video solutions provider, is ready to assist partners with a complete closed captioning compliance solution.

The Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act, which was first signed into law in 2010, expands closed captioning requirements to promote access to content for hearing impaired viewers. At the end of this month, television networks and web video sites will be required to provide closed captioning for all TV content available online.

Unicorn Media makes compliance with these regulations simple for its customers by providing a closed captioning solution for publisher content management systems and an ability to instantly embed closed captioning content directly into publisher files. The Unicorn Media solution enables API access and facilitates embedding closed captioning information in a standard technical format.

"With Unicorn Media, publishers and broadcasters can easily comply with new closed captioning requirements," said Bill Rinehart, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Unicorn Media. "By accessing a patented technology platform that allows content owners to monetize content for any screen, Unicorn Media clients can also meet new closed captioning requirements."

Designed to broaden closed captioning requirements in phases, the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act requires broadcasters and publishers to provide closed captioning for the online broadcast of all TV programming as of September 30, 2012 and expands requirements over time to include other types of video content.

To find out more about Unicorn Media, its closed captioning solution and its unique content monetization platform, please visit http://www.unicornmedia.com.

Kaleidescape Adds Common Sense Media Parental Guidance to Award-Winning iPad App

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CEDIA EXPO -- Kaleidescape, Inc., the market leader in movie servers, today announced that it will integrate Common Sense Media ratings and guidance into the Kaleidescape App for iPad. Common Sense Media is the leading independent organization for age-appropriate media ratings and reviews, as well as advice and education. Common Sense ratings are based on child development guidelines to provide parents with the trusted and detailed information needed to make great media choices for children. Every review contains a grid that objectively breaks down a movie's content, from violence and language to positive role models and message.

"With more than 17,000 reviews and ratings of nearly 5,000 movies, Common Sense Media is an extremely valuable resource for parents who are looking for more guidance and context in their movie reviews than what the MPAA or other outlets provide," said Amy Guggenheim Shenkan, President and COO of Common Sense Media. "Partnering with Kaleidescape provides Common Sense with the great opportunity to bring our ratings and reviews directly to parents right when they're making these crucial decisions."

The Kaleidescape App for iPad provides an immersive experience for browsing and searching your collection of movies. Once you've found something of interest, you can select a movie, scene, or song, and it plays on your TV instantly. Now, parents, together with their children, can make informed decisions on what is and what is not appropriate to watch.

"Kaleidescape was the first to develop a movie server with an onscreen user interface and remote control designed specifically for young children," said Michael Malcolm, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Kaleidescape. "The addition of Common Sense Media takes our focus on families with children one step further."

The Kaleidescape App for iPad with Common Sense Media age-based ratings and guidance will be demonstrated in the Kaleidescape booth at CEDIA EXPO 2012 (Booth #3733) at the Indiana Convention Center from September 6-8, 2012, and will be available by the end of this year.

The Kaleidescape App for iPad is the first app ever to receive the CustomRetailer EXC!TE Award, winning it this year. It is also a finalist in CEDIA's 2012 Manufacturers' Excellence Award for Best New Product, whose winners will be announced on September 8, 2012.

Waterfall Security Granted Patent for Secure Implementation of Network-Based Sensors

TEL AVIV, Israel, September 6, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    The United States Patent Office has granted Waterfall Security Solutions Ltd., the
leading provider of Unidirectional Security Gateways(TM) for critical infrastructure
networks, patent 8,223,205 for "A Secure Implementation of Network-Based Sensors." The
patent describes how to feed data from network-based security sensors, such as video
cameras on control system networks, into security operations centers on less-secure
networks, without introducing any threat to the safety or reliability of the sensor
network itself.

    "Network-based security sensors and especially video sensors are increasingly part of
sophisticated defense-in-depth cyber-security measures at industrial sites," reports
Andrew Ginter, Waterfall's Director of Industrial Security. "Couple this trend with the
trend towards centralized, cloud-based and out-sourced Security Operations Centers and you
have a problem. With conventional firewall-based security, every communications channel
out of a secure control-system network is also an attack channel back into that network.
Putting the safety and reliability of industrial networks at risk, just so you can monitor
those sites centrally, is not a good trade-off."

    The patent describes how to send security sensor data, such as video data, out of
safety-critical and reliability-critical networks using Unidirectional Security Gateways.
The hardware-enforced gateways allow the data to reach central monitoring sites and
out-sourced monitoring sites without introducing any risk to the originating network. The
unidirectional hardware permits video data and other data to leave a protected network,
but allows no signal whatsoever back into the network.

    Video feeds in particular are used increasingly in industrial networks. Remote,
un-staffed sites are often monitored via video, as are locations where members of the
public are part of the physical process, such as airports, subway stations, and vehicular
traffic monitoring. These video feeds may be monitored in a variety of locations - some
secure and some less so. Some video feeds may be made available routinely to members of
the public over the Internet for example. When video feeds are made available to viewers
in less-secure networks, it is important to protect the integrity of the original video
sensor, and of any other sensing or control equipment on the same network as the video
sensor. Hardware-enforced Unidirectional Security Gateways allow security sensor data to
be shared, without putting the originating sensors and networks at risk.

    "Waterfall is pioneering unidirectional protection of industrial sites and networks,"
adds Lior Frenkel, CEO and Co-Founder of Waterfall Security Solutions. "Our development
teams are constantly adding to our suite of unidirectional security products, and our
patents speak for themselves."

Xilinx and OmniTek Launch the Era of All Programmable SoCs for Broadcast Equipment Makers at IBC 2012

Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC-based platform combines fully programmable hardware and software to reduce time-to-market and enable focus on innovation and differentiation

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) and Certified Xilinx Alliance Program Member, OmniTek, launched a ground-breaking real-time video processing platform at IBC 2012 (Hall 10, Stand #10.B25) today that gives broadcast equipment OEMs new opportunities to accelerate their design productivity while reaching higher levels of  performance through programmable system integration. Powered by Xilinx's ARM®-based Zynq(TM)-7000 All Programmable SoC, the OmniTek Zynq-7000 SoC Broadcast Development Kit represents a tremendous opportunity for broadcast OEMs to now combine their own hardware and software IP (intellectual property) with this high-performance, reprogrammable video processing platform for creating unique and differentiated broadcast equipment that can easily adapt to changing standards.

"Delivering value to broadcasters in a world of constantly changing standards is an increasingly difficult task for manufacturers that we and OmniTek are addressing with the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC platform," said Ben Runyan, director of broadcast and consumer segment marketing at Xilinx. "Leveraging the hardware and software programmability of our Zynq-7000 family, the platform gives our customers unprecedented capabilities for developing next-generation video solutions."

Xilinx's Zynq-7000 family is the industry's first SoC family to incorporate an ARM dual-core Cortex(TM)-A9 MPCore(TM) processing system with tightly coupled programmable logic on a single die. This combination dramatically increases performance and thus improves processing-intensive real-time video applications. Zynq-7000 devices are all programmable - meaning the hardware, software and I/O are each fully programmable - which enables OEMs to accelerate time-to-market, focus on product innovation and reprogram their products to meet changing standards and specifications.

"The unique architecture of the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC development environment in broadcast applications enables OEMs to achieve their goals of accelerating the time-to-market for their next-generation of products, while incorporating unique features and reducing the bill-of-materials (BOM) of their system," said Roger Fawcett, managing director of OmniTek.  "Complementing this, the performance and reprogrammability of Zynq-7000 devices enables us to address broadcasters' requirements to support performance-intensive real-time applications that need to be 'future proof' to adapt to changing industry standards and specifications."

Broadcast equipment OEMs can also reduce the BOM costs for their equipment using a single Zynq-7000 device rather than multiple chips to achieve their processing requirements. Additionally, Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC-based products consume less power compared to multiple chip equivalents, thanks to the tight integration between the ARM processing system and 28nm programmable logic.

RTVE Version 2.0 with Enhanced Functionality

The OmniTek Zynq-7000 SoC Broadcast Development Kit includes the new 2.0 release of the Xilinx® Real-Time Video Engine (RTVE) developed jointly with OmniTek. RTVE 2.0 incorporates OmniTek's advanced video processing IP, along with Xilinx's Video & Image Processing Pack (VIPP). This unique combination enables OEMs to focus on innovation and features - rather than hardware configuration or software systems - so they can quickly develop professional-quality monitors, studio cameras, production switchers and other products with unique functionality and features.

Specific enhancements to RTVE 2.0 include:

    --  Supports up to eight channels of video for increased system performance
        in the same area of silicon - a fourfold increase over version 1.5
    --  OmniTek's integrated deinterlacer / scaler with multi-port VDMA
        technology to optimize resources used and performance
    --  Integrates Xilinx's VCXO removal technology, further enhancing
        programmable system integration and also reducing bill-of-material cost
        and power consumption
    --  Enables OmniTek's video streaming over the PCI EXPRESS® block
The hardware, firmware and software incorporated in the OmniTek Zynq-7000 SoC Broadcast Development Kit are ideal for speeding the development of a number of broadcast equipment products, including:

    --  Professional monitors and multiviewers, which require incoming video to
        be de-interlaced and scaled in real-time to support monitor formats up

-

    AVG Technologies (NYSE: AVG), the provider of Internet and mobile security to 128
million active users, today announces the availability of the AVG 2013 range of products.
The update includes new versions of AVG's range of free and paid offerings incorporating a
revamped user interface with touch-compatible technology and additional enhancements to

complex place to navigate. It's important that security products are simple and
straightforward to use so that people can focus on doing all the things they enjoy while
having confidence and peace of mind that they are protected, said JR Smith, CEO of AVG
Technologies. "We were the first antivirus company to offer a free product to all users
ten years ago and in March 2012, we were also the first to provide an active Do Not Track
privacy feature in both our free and paid products. With our AVG 2013 offerings, I believe
we are continuing to demonstrate our disruptive, innovative heritage."

    What's new?

   
    - A new user interface that supports touch-screen, developed through

    - Complementing the AVG 2013 Internet Security range, AVG PC TuneUp(R) keeps PCs
      running smoothly and at peak performance by cleaning the hard drive, fixing issues,
      preserving battery life on laptops, and eliminating freezing and crashing.

    The AVG 2012 range established a strong precedence by achieving excellent scores in
independent benchmark tests, such as AV-Test
[http://www.av-test.org/en/tests/home-user/mayjun-2012 ].org in which AVG Internet Security
2012 and AVG AntiVirus FREE 2012 both scored a detection rate of 5.5 out of 6 for a
representative set of malware in the months preceding the test period May/June 2012.
Building on this, AVG Internet Security 2013 incorporates multi-layered protection that
utilizes signature-based antivirus, heuristics, polymorphic-based detection and
behavior-based threats detection with an integrated security firewall and AVG
LinkScanner(R) for complete peace of mind when browsing, shopping and banking.

best protection to our customers. We believe the AVG 2013 range of products is the most
user-centric brand of online security protection available, giving our users the choice of

our AVG 2013 offerings, we kept simplicity and performance the heart of our product
development cycle while further enhancing industry leading detection and removal
