Promise as rendering showrooming obsolete."

Concur Unveils New Innovations to Its Corporate Travel Booking Tool
GBTA Convention attendees will see new Open Booking options and global travel features designed to delight travelers
REDMOND, Wash., July 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Concur®, a leading provider of integrated travel and expense management solutions (NASDAQ: CNQR), will preview Concur Open Booking, as well as a number of new features for its popular corporate booking solution at GBTA 2012 Convention in Boston. As business travelers book outside a corporate travel tool due to convenience or cheaper travel options, companies face a growing issue of capturing spend that happens outside of the corporate travel program. The new innovations from Concur give business travelers more choice and flexibility while helping their organizations to better ensure that policies are being followed, deliver enhanced duty of care and provide better visibility into travel spend. GBTA Convention attendees can check out these latest Concur innovations at booth # 1724.
Concur Open Booking Balances Compliance and Choice
Concur Open Booking is the corporate travel option that extends the innovations previously available through Concur's connection with TripIt, and addresses the existing problem of hotel and rental car program leakage. With Open Booking, business travelers can book hotels and rental cars outside Concur and the TMC, obtain their corporate negotiated rates and still bring all travel transaction data back into Concur for a complete itinerary and total visibility by the traveler, travel manager, and TMC. With Concur Open Booking and Concur Locate & Alert, companies can ensure that wherever travelers book travel, their locations are tracked and assistance can be provided if needed. New innovations to support Concur Open Booking include:
-- Direct Supplier Integration - Business travelers will be able to link
their Concur profile with their loyalty accounts from participating
hotels and car rental companies, automatically access their corporate
discount and book directly on participating supplier websites and still
have all their travel details easily accessible from Concur's mobile app
or online with two-way itinerary exchange between the suppliers and
Concur. E-receipts will automatically pre-populate the expense report
eliminating work for the traveler. Travelers with linked Concur and
TripIt profiles will also have all itinerary details plus maps,
directions and more in TripIt. Avis Car Rental, Best Western
International, Choice Hotels International, Inc., Hertz,
InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), La Quinta Inns & Suites, Marriott
International and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. plan to
participate in Concur Open Booking.
-- Itinerary Integration - Concur has included the email parsing technology
from TripIt inside the Concur application, so that travelers and
arrangers can build a single consolidated itinerary combining
traditional GDS and Direct Connect bookings with travel booked outside
of Concur. Travelers can now forward travel confirmation emails from
travel suppliers to plans@concur.com. Concur will create an expense
report based on the consolidated itinerary with click of a button.
-- Other New Tools to View Travelers' Trips - Concur will release Concur
Open Agent for the web to empower clients and TMCs to view the full
content of an itinerary and traveler profiles from within Concur Travel
or Concur Travel & Expense. In addition, TMCs and Concur partners can
access an itinerary web service through Concur's T&E Cloud to
programmatically access and update full itinerary content.
New Innovations Improve Traveler Experiences
Concur continues to enhance its corporate travel booking tool to improve the travel booking experience and to offer more global content. New features and capabilities to Concur Travel include:
-- New Hotel Recommendations - Leveraging big data from travel transactions
of over 18 million travelers, Concur now provides personalized hotel
recommendations for travelers based on the traveler's past trips and
preferences in accordance with their company's travel policy.
-- Concur Connect Platform Access to Hotel Content - Through the Concur
Connect platform, Concur now provides suppliers with an API based on the
Open Travel Alliance hotel specification to allow them to make their
content available to Concur clients. Cleartrip, India's leading online
travel portal, has announced its intent to support the Concur Connect
Platform and make its market-leading Indian hotel content available to
Concur clients directly through Concur Travel.
-- Better Rail Experience for Deutsche Bahn Users - Travelers in Germany
can now compare air and rail pricing side-by-side, while still
completing their purchase on the Bahn.de web site. Travelers can view
prices within Concur and travel managers can set policies about when air
and rail are each appropriate, while still retaining the convenience of
booking directly on the familiar Deutsche Bahn website.
About Concur
Concur is a leading provider of integrated travel and expense management solutions. Concur's easy-to-use Web-based and mobile solutions help companies and their employees control costs and save time. Concur Connect is the platform that enables the entire travel and expense ecosystem of customers, suppliers, and solution partners to access and extend Concur's T&E cloud.

PON-AODF saves up to 50% on OLT ports in FTTH/B deployments
KFAR-SABA, Israel, July 23, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
TeliSwitch Solutions (http://www.teliswitch.com) today announced the release of
its patented PON-AODF(TM) that enables dynamic changing of the splitting ratio in Passive
Optical Networks (PON) to be adaptable to service penetration and meeting bandwidth
service demand requirements.
Currently PON operators compromise between initial vs. anticipated service penetration
rates and meeting future demands for higher bandwidth, typically using splitters with 32
or 64 split ratios. At low penetration rates, this wastes OLT ports, as one port must be
allocated to each splitter even if it serves only a single customer. In addition, the high
split ratio causes a shortage in bandwidth when the demand for higher bandwidth increases.
Implementing PON-AODF saves operators up to 50% on OLT ports as they are able to
remotely adapt PON splitting ratios to growth, enabling the connection of more homes
without compromising on future bandwidth demand. By installing PON-AODF with the OLT, the
passive optical network is upgraded with adaptive splitting ratio capabilities while
preserving the passive nature of the PON Optical Distribution Network (ODN).
"TeliSwitch PON-AODF deployment gives service providers the flexibility to install
only as many OLT ports as needed to serve connected homes, saving up to 50% on PON ports,
thus reducing total equipment costs," said Rafi Ben-Atar, co-founder and CEO at TeliSwitch
Solutions. "In addition, our PON-AODF reduces overall OPEX by making optical
infrastructure remotely manageable, thereby minimizing human interventions and errors."
About PON-AODF
PON-AODF(TM) is an automated ODF enhanced with adaptive splitting capabilities that
upgrades Passive Optical Networks (PONs) to be adaptable to service penetration and
bandwidth demand changes. PON-AODF offers optical performance identical to that of high
quality passive ODFs and preserves optical links during power loss or maintenance. The
life expectancy of its optical module is similar to typical optical infrastructure life
spans. Remote service provisioning and remote network testing are also among its benefits.
About TeliSwitch Solutions
In developing the automated optical distribution frame (AODF(TM)) family based on its
patented opto-mechatronics architecture, TeliSwitch Solutions answers the challenge of
automating fiber switching at layer-0 of communication networks without compromising on
optical performance. TeliSwitch's AODF product family brings state-of-the-art automated
optical interconnection management capabilities to carrier core backbones, FTTH access
networks, and data centers. For more information, please visit us at http://www.teliswitch.com.

Seiko Instruments Launches World's First Zero-power Photo Detect IC
- Innovative S-5470 Series ICs Combined with Photovoltaic Device Achieve World's First Zero-power Consumption Light/Dark Detection Switch -
TOKYO, July 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Seiko Instruments (SII) announced on July 23 the new S-5470 series of photo detect ICs that enable design of light/dark detection switch circuits with zero power consumption (nW class) when combined with a photo diode, LED, or other photovoltaic devices.
Due to the photo voltaic effect, photodiodes and LEDs generate tiny electrical current when exposed to light. Conventional ICs require amplifiers to sense the minute current, and consume significant power to operate. In contrast, SII's new S-5470 series ICs detect the same minute current without the need for amplifiers using SII's unique low-power CMOS technology. This approach has achieved zero-power consumption (nW class) circuit designs. It also enables the design of shading detection switches based on illumination differences between two photo voltaic devices.
Typical applications include auto power-off functionality detecting light/dark conditions, automatic lighting during darkness, and non-contact switching when the device is covered by a hand. Some examples would be a wireless mouse that turns itself on when the user grasps it for use; smartphones that activate when their covers are opened; clocks that inactivate chimes during periods of darkness; equipment that operates when its box is opened, and the like.
The S-5470 series ICs feature super-low power consumption: 0.1 nA (typ.) at a 5.5V supply voltage; can be used with a number of different photovoltaic devices including photo diodes, LEDs, solar batteries, etc.; wide operating voltage range: 0.9V-5.5V; and small SOT-23-5 package (2.9x2.8x1.3 mm.)

Major subsidiary of Seiko Holdings Corporation (TSE: 8050).

Lay's Potato Chips Teams Up With Eva Longoria And Iron Chef Michael Symon To Invite Consumers To Create The Next Great Potato Chip Flavor
"Do Us A Flavor" contest launched in Times Square at first-ever Lay's brand flavor store; Contest winner to be awarded $1 million or one percent of chip flavor's net sales
PLANO, Texas, July 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Power up those taste buds -- a nationwide search for the next great Lay's potato chip flavor is officially underway. Lay's, one of the marquee brands from PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division, today kicked off its "Do Us A Flavor" contest that invites fans to submit their potato chip flavor ideas for the chance to win $1 million in grand prize money or one percent of their flavor's 2013 net sales (whichever is higher). From now until Oct. 6, consumers can share their flavor inspirations on the Lay's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/lays), with the winning flavor being revealed in 2013, the year Lay's - America's most-loved potato chip brand - celebrates its 75-year anniversary.
To launch the contest, the Lay's brand is creating its first-ever pop-up store in New York City's Times Square - a place known for bringing unique flavors from around the world together. At this one-of-a-kind Lay's flavor destination, consumers can sample up to 20 existing Lay's flavors and learn about unique Lay's potato chip flavors from around the world in order to excite their palates and inspire their contest submissions. Actress and restaurateur Eva Longoria, and celebrity chef and restaurateur Michael Symon also will be on hand to encourage fans to submit their winning flavor ideas.
"We've created some really great potato chip flavors over the years, but this time around we're asking our consumers to weigh in and share their ideas for what comes next," said Ram Krishnan, vice president of marketing, Frito-Lay North America. "With a mix of traditions, cultures and backgrounds, we know our fans have what it takes to come up with a truly winning flavor that will be a delicious treat for fans all across the country. We can't wait to see what fans come up with and all the creative submissions."
As the largest food brand in the world, Lay's has a global reach that many don't realize. The "Do Us A Flavor" contest has already been held in numerous countries with consumers suggesting more than eight million ideas for chips flavors around the world. From the UK and India to Australia and South Africa, the "Do Us A Flavor" contest has resulted in a wide spectrum of popular consumer-created chip flavors, including Mastana Mango, Walkie Talkie Chicken, Caesar Salad, Chilli & Chocolate, Late Night Kebob and even Cajun Squirrel. Today's launch marks the first time the "Do Us A Flavor" contest has been held in the U.S.
Beyond their involvement in the contest launch, Longoria and Symon also will be part of a judging panel made up of chefs, foodies and flavor experts who will narrow down the contest submissions to three finalist flavors. In addition, the two will appear in national television and online advertising, as well as a retail marketing campaign to support the contest. Longoria, an award-winning actress, best-selling cookbook author, philanthropist, is the owner of Beso, one of the hottest eateries in Los Angeles and Las Vegas known for its eclectic menu of colorful and tasty dishes from around the world. Originally from Cleveland, Symon is the current co-host of the ABC daytime talk show "The Chew" and appears on the Food Network's "Iron Chef America" and Cooking Channel's "Symon's Suppers." He is also the owner of four award-winning restaurants located in America's heartland: Lola, Lolita, Roast and B Spot, as well as the recently opened Bar Symon inside Pittsburgh International Airport.
"To me, the best part about the contest is that you don't have to be a foodie, chef or flavor expert to enter," explained Eva Longoria. "You just have to trust your taste buds. If you're passionate about a flavor, likely there are others who agree."
"I am constantly impressed with the range of flavor combinations possible in the culinary world, which presents an exciting variety of options for the next great potato chip," said Chef Michael Symon. "I'm confident America has what it takes to create a delicious new potato chip flavor. The tough part will be reviewing the many creative ideas and selecting our top three."
Now through Oct. 6, 2012, fans can submit their flavor suggestions on the Lay's Facebook page or by using their cell phone to text FLAVOR to CHIPS (24477). To submit a suggestion, fans will be asked to provide their name (Adam asked us to remove this as FB already knows their name), flavor name, up to three possible ingredients and a 140-character description or inspiration for their flavor.
Visitors to the Lay's "Do Us A Flavor" Page can interact on Facebook in deeper, more social ways. Exclusively for the contest, consumers can select their favorite flavors by clicking an "I'd Eat That" button (rather than the Facebook Like button), and they can share their voting activity back to the Facebook community, providing consumers with a fun opportunity to interact with their friends and other contestants in head-to-head "flavor showdowns." In addition, consumers in need of additional inspiration can use Chef Michael Symon's "Flavorizer" app, which scans the individual's Facebook timeline to recommend ingredients most unique to him or her.
Three finalist flavors will be fully developed by Frito-Lay's culinary experts and unveiled in early 2013. Then, it will be up to fans to vote for the finalist flavor they love most with the winning flavor being revealed in May 2013. The two runner-up finalists will each win $50,000 in prize money, with the grand prize winner taking home $1 million or one percent of the 2013 net sales of the winning flavor (whichever is higher). More details and official contest rules are available at http://www.facebook.com/lays.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Powers Europe's Fastest Supercomputer
Critical to Leibniz-Rechenzentrum's success is support from SUSE
NUREMBERG, Germany, July 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Europe's most powerful supercomputer was officially inaugurated by IBM during a ceremony celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Leibniz-Rechenzentrum (LRZ) of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences in Garching, Germany. Used to solve difficult scientific questions in physics and fluid dynamics, SuperMUC, powered by SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server, ranks number four in the June 2012 TOP 500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers. SuperMUC is a System X iDataPlex from IBM and is equipped with more than 155,000 processor cores, which deliver an aggregate peak performance of more than 3 Petaflops of computing power.
A special feature of SuperMUC is an innovative, warm-water cooling technology, inspired by the human blood circulation and developed by IBM, that results in 40 percent less energy consumption than traditional air-cooled machines. Additionally, the system allows energy to be captured and reused to heat the buildings of the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre Campus.
"SuperMUC is many times more efficient than its predecessor. Where it makes sense we use frequency scaling, a Linux kernel function delivered with SUSE Linux Enterprise, which allows us to run applications at their optimal operating point. This means we use, wherever possible, newly developed energy efficiency mechanisms in Linux," said Dr. Herbert Huber, head of high-performance systems at the LRZ.
"Since 1998, we have relied on SUSE for our high-performance computer sector at the Leibniz-Rechenzentrum. At that time, it was important to us that SUSE provided technical features that were not included in other Linux distributions," explained Professor Arndt Bode, head of LRZ. "But also important was the geographic vicinity, the direct connection to the development and product management teams at SUSE and their fast support response times. This is still a huge benefit for us and is why all of our high-performance computers and most other systems run on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server."
"In the past, there have been several opportunities to think about an operating system change, but SUSE Linux Enterprise Server always made the decision easy for us because of its reliability and performance," commented Dr. Huber. "The collaboration between SUSE and our hardware suppliers always ran smoothly. For example, common features have been developed which have then been incorporated into the Linux kernel. This kind of cooperation is a prerequisite for the success of projects like SuperMUC."
"We are very proud of our long-standing collaboration with the LRZ. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server has become, thanks to its scalability and performance, one of the most popular operating systems for high-performance computers. For SUSE, today's inauguration of SuperMUC is a great achievement toward our development work in high-performance computing," said Meike Chabowski, HPC product marketing manager, SUSE.
SUSE is a leading provider of enterprise Linux solutions that increase agility, reduce cost and manage complexity in dynamic environments. With a portfolio centered on SUSE Linux Enterprise, the most interoperable platform for mission-critical computing, SUSE enables organizations to confidently deliver computing services across physical, virtual and cloud environments. With our award-winning products and ecosystem of partnerships, SUSE solutions empower thousands of organizations around the world. For more information, visit us at http://www.suse.com.
