"TAK is designed to make all those changes easier to handle, especially in large cluster environments, increasing administrator productivity and reducing configuration errors."

Using TAK, administrators can easily integrate the provisioning and de-provisioning of TransLattice resources into existing management processes. By automating routine management tasks -including scaling to additional nodes, specifying data placement policies, upgrading software, deploying new applications or databases and configuring database authentication - TAK allows administrators to easily manage large transaction processing environments. TAK's simple-to-use interface makes duplicating cluster environments for multi-tenancy or testing purposes easy.

Key TAK benefits include:

    --  Efficiency - Automating processes allows administrators to manage large
        numbers of nodes at once.
    --  Consistency - Repetitive tasks, such as pausing and activating domains,
        can be scripted for re-use and integrated with existing IT management
        systems.
    --  Ease of use - Duplicating clusters is fast and reliable. A "set it and
        forget it" scripting interface automates routine functions.

    "Our adhesive has an improved resistance to humidity", explains Jens Amarell, Product
Manager RFID at DELO Industrial Adhesives. "This makes it the ideal solution to
applications where reliability is important, such for example in railway tickets,
passports or protection of high-quality products against plagiarism." DELOMONOPOX AC268 is
used in chip attach processes, especially in flip-chip applications. It reliably bonds
tiny chips, which partly measure only 400 microm, to defined positions on the RFID
antenna. DELO could prove the continuously good electrical conductivity to customers'
substrates with the help of storage test at 85 degree(s)C / 85 % r. h.

    Thanks to the short curing time of six seconds at 190 degree(s)C with a thermode, fast
production processes are possible. Therefore, up to 20,000 microchips can be bonded per
hour on a flip-chip production system. The adhesive adheres well to a wide variety of
flexible and rigid substrates including PET, polyimide, FR4, copper, aluminum and silver.
DELOMONOPOX AC268 was thoroughly tested in DELO's engineering labs. The tests included

Trimble to Deliver High-Accuracy CenterPoint RTX Correction Service to Farmers in Latin America

Correction Service Provides Positioning Technology via Satellite Communications

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today that its high-accuracy, satellite-delivered CenterPoint(TM) RTX(TM) correction service is now available for farmers in Latin America.

Trimble CenterPoint RTX can deliver better than 3.8 centimeter (1.5 inch) accuracies in real time without the use of traditional reference station RTK infrastructure. Initially, the CenterPoint RTX satellite-delivered correction service covered approximately a 1.8 billion-acre swath of central North America, extending from Canada into northern Mexico. The new coverage area has been expanded to include all of Mexico, Central America and South America, where farmers can use the GNSS correction service for cultivating, planting, pest and nutrient management, harvesting and water management.

"The expanded coverage of Trimble's satellite-delivered CenterPoint RTX service into Latin America further extends our broad portfolio of correction services, which also includes OmniSTAR VBS, HP, XP and G2; Trimble CenterPoint VRS; and the CenterPoint RTX service delivered via cellular communications," said Patricia Boothe, general manager of Trimble's Positioning Services Division. "By offering a suite of correction technologies and services, we can satisfy a variety of accuracy, delivery and budget requirements."

"We're committed to expanding the services and software applications that we provide to the global farming community.  Increasing the coverage area for high-accuracy GNSS correction services for Trimble's agriculture customers around the world is an example," said Erik Arvesen, vice president of Trimble's Agriculture Division. "In 2011, we offered real-time, satellite-delivered corrections over a central swath of North America where it was well received. Now, farmers in Latin America can also benefit from CenterPoint RTX services to perform precision agriculture operations. Our customers want a broad range of solutions and with CenterPoint RTX, we're delivering those options."

No Additional Hardware Required

Trimble CenterPoint RTX real-time corrections are satellite delivered directly to the GNSS receiver, so there are no additional costs for mobile data plans or hardware such as radios and antennas. The CenterPoint RTX service is compatible with the Trimble CFX-750(TM) display, FmX® integrated display and the AG-372 GNSS receiver. The service is expected to be available by mid-July.

Staying compliant can help oil and natural gas producers avoid a repeat performance," said Ned Ertel, President and CEO of RegScan. "Now that the Federal government is involved, it is more crucial than ever that the Industry have a trusted resource for tracking regulatory change."

Users of the IPAA Environmental Compliance System have instant online access to relevant regulations and statutes. Comprehensive State suites are fully integrated with permit applications and guidance documents, and all of the system's custom audit checklists were authored by industry-leading consultants with years of first-hand experience. Regulatory updates are seamless and automatic, so the most current information is always available.

The IPAA Environmental Compliance System was recently honored with an Environmental Business Journal Business Achievement Award for Project Merit. This one-of-a-kind compliance timeline outlines the regulatory requirements throughout a well's entire life cycle. Topics covered include:

    --  Pre-Drilling
    --  Drilling and Completion
    --  Well Production and Operation
    --  Well Plugging and Abandonment
Founded in 1987, RegScan, Inc. provides regulatory compliance services to companies worldwide.

Sennheiser Intensifies Customer and Brand Protection

WEDEMARK, Germany, June 20, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Audio specialist proposes new measures to counteract product piracy

    As a premium manufacturer of microphones, headphones and wireless transmission
systems, Sennheiser is intensifying its global commitment to fighting product piracy. The
clear focus of all measures is the protection of both customer and brand. "Customers are
being deceived in a criminal way with counterfeit products. With the clear intent to
defraud low grade products are being sold as 'branded' products", explains Volker Bartels,
Speaker of the Executive Management Board. Background: The sound quality of the
counterfeit versions falls far short of the strict quality standards of genuine Sennheiser
products. Furthermore, because these fake products do not undergo any of the stringent
quality checks of the genuine articles, damage to the user's hearing may potentially be an
issue.

    Safety labelling makes authentication easier

    Sennheiser protects its customers from plagiarism with latest technologies which offer
maximum protection against counterfeiting and enable retailers and customers to verify
authenticity. In future, Sennheiser product-packaging and the products themselves will be
protected with tesa scribos(R) PrioSpots. These special labels offer maximum protection
against counterfeiting by a combination of concealed and visible security features. The
PrioSpots on Sennheiser packaging and products are linked to the manufacturer's overall
brand security concept and use the connect & check system. This enables users, retailers
or customs investigators to check the authenticity of a product quickly by using an
internet-enabled smartphone or a notebook. The simple process involves reading the QR code
printed on the packaging and transmitting the data via a secure internet connection to
confirm the product's authenticity. "The investment in a system which provides
counterfeit-proof identification of our products results in effective protection for our
customers and for retailers", says Volker Bartels.

    Focused action against illegal online trading

    The global market for counterfeit electronic products is estimated to be worth 74
billion Euro* per year. Without proactive measures to fight criminal dealer activity, the
market will continue to grow. In order to effectively stem the trade of counterfeit goods
on the internet, Sennheiser and OpSec Security have been working together in Europe since
early 2012. On Sennheiser's behalf the experts from OpSec search relevant internet portals
for potentially suspicious products. This collaboration has been highly successful so far,
and it is now due to be deployed worldwide. "Thanks to online screening we have been able
to significantly reduce the volume of illegal supplies in Europe. We therefore want to use
this highly effective tool in other parts of the world now", says Volker Bartels.
Sennheiser is particularly concerned about the illegal trade in Asia. With the help of
online screening, the most active Asian B2B platforms are continually scanned so any
illegal online auctions taking place, can be systematically stopped. "We are concentrating
especially on the Asian illegal trade as a lot of counterfeits originate from there. This
way, we can stop these products from reaching Europe, the USA or other parts of the world
in the first place."

    Legal penalties for brand pirates

    Using its own research as well as the information obtained from OpSec, Sennheiser has
provided its support to international customs and investigation authorities. Therefore it
is not only Sennheiser who stop these suppliers and dealers of counterfeit goods; they
also potentially face prosecution for their activities. "Each year Sennheiser invests
significantly into research and development in order to provide our customers with the
best technology and the best possible sound", explains Volker Bartels. "The harm done to
our customers and our markets by product piracy is completely unacceptable to us. We will
therefore use everything at our disposal to fight it." In order to be on the safe side the
company recommends that any customers looking to buy Sennheiser products, purchase only
from retailers within the authorised dealer network.

ResearchMoz: RFID Forecasts, Players and Opportunities 2012 - 2022- Market Research Report

ALBANY, New York, June 20, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    New Report Added in ResearchMoz Reports Database RFID Forecasts, Players and
Opportunities 2012-2022
[http://www.researchmoz.com/rfid-forecasts-players-and-opportunities-2012-2022-report.html ]

    This report is the summation of extensive research over twelve years including
interviews with RFID adopters and solution providers in the various applicational RFID
markets, giving an unprecedented level of insight into the total RFID industry and what is
really happening. Purchasers receive an electronic PDF and (optional) printed copy of this
report, a separate functional spreadsheet of the forecasts, and access to report updates
throughout the year. Ten year forecasts are given split in many ways, with more than 190
tables and figures.

    To Browse Full TOC, Tables & Figures visit:
http://www.researchmoz.com/rfid-forecasts-players-and-opportunities-2012-2022-report.html

    In 2012 the value of the entire RFID market will be $7.46 billion, up from $6.37
billion in 2011. This includes tags, readers and software/services for RFID cards, labels,
fobs and all other form factors. It includes passive and active RFID.

    In retail, RFID is seeing rapid growth for apparel tagging - that application alone
demands 1 billion RFID labels in 2012. RFID in the form of tickets used for transit will
demand 500 million tags in 2012. The tagging of animals (such as pigs, sheep and pets) is
now substantial as it becomes a legal requirement in many more territories, with 294
million tags being used for this sector in 2012. This is happening in regions such as
China and Australasia. In total, 3.98 billion tags will be sold in 2012 versus 2.93
billion in 2011. Most of that growth is from passive UHF RFID labels, however, at that
frequency suppliers are still barely profitable so far.

Spansion Advances Voice-Enabled Electronics with New Human Machine Interface Coprocessor

Spansion Acoustic Coprocessor Leverages Nuance's Voice Technology to Improve Performance of Voice Applications

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Spansion Inc. (NYSE: CODE), a leading innovator in Flash memory solutions for embedded markets, today unveiled the Spansion® Acoustic Coprocessor, the industry's first human machine interface (HMI) coprocessor that enables voice-controlled system interfaces. Leveraging Nuance Communications' (NASDAQ: NUAN) voice technology, the new product is ideal for voice recognition systems in automotive, gaming and consumer electronics, significantly improving response time and accuracy over conventional voice interfaces by supporting larger acoustic databases.  Spansion Acoustic Coprocessor comprises custom-designed logic and high-speed memory to accelerate and optimize voice-enabled human machine interfaces, while offloading the acoustic processing workload from a conventional CPU.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20060118/SFW077LOGO)

As electronics become increasingly intelligent and interactive, human interfaces such as voice, image and gesture are emerging to meet the growing consumer demand for faster, more engaging access to information. To date, user interfaces have relied on generic hardware and software. Spansion Acoustic Coprocessor is the first application-specific approach that integrates custom-designed logic and hardware with Nuance's VoCon® software engine, and provides a dedicated resource for natural user interfaces such as voice.

"Spansion is integrating Nuance's technology in a unique way to give automotive manufacturers an especially powerful platform," said Michael Thompson, executive vice president and general manager of the Nuance Mobile Division. "Specialized coprocessors can make voice interactions exceptionally fast, more natural, and even more accurate."

"Advances in voice recognition that take us closer to Natural Language Understanding are critical for the automotive market," said Chris Schreiner, director of Automotive Consumer Insights for Strategy Analytics.  "More and more automakers are incorporating voice recognition interfaces into vehicles to manage both mobile connectivity as well as aid driver safety.  Improvements in accuracy and latency, such as those gained through innovations like the Spansion Acoustic Coprocessor, can provide big benefits to the consumer and change the way we interact with our vehicles."

Spansion Acoustic Coprocessor leverages Spansion's proven technology and leadership in enabling instant-on response, high reliability and performance across a range of embedded applications. Benchmark results demonstrate that with the Spansion Acoustic Coprocessor, system response improves by 50 percent over typical systems using an application processor alone.  The load on the application processor lowers by up to 50 percent, freeing it for other tasks. In addition, the Spansion Acoustic Coprocessor is able to support larger databases with multi-lingual, gender and tonal sounds, which in turn improves accuracy and advances natural language understanding.

Michael Palma, IDC senior research analyst, Semiconductors added, "In today's computing devices, the CPU handles everything from high-speed Internet access and HD video to 3D navigation and voice recognition, creating a bottleneck of both processing power and memory bandwidth. Using an application-specific coprocessor to handle acoustic scoring can dramatically improve system responsiveness and latency of voice recognition systems while giving the CPU more capacity to focus on other resource-intensive applications, enabling a better user experience across the board."

Spansion's first implementation is in the automotive market where voice is providing a safer, smarter way to stay connected behind the wheel, minimizing visual-manual distractions posed by handheld devices. The Spansion demo platform, which integrates Spansion's technology and Nuance voice recognition software, is currently being evaluated by major automotive manufacturers, with design samples available in the third quarter of this year.

Anritsu Company Introduces Industry-first Noise Figure Measurement Capability for VectorStar® Vector Network Analyzers

- VectorStar Provides Designers, Modelers, and Manufacturers of RF/Microwave Amplifiers with the Only VNA Platform Capable of Measuring Noise Figure from 70 kHz to 125 GHz -

MONTREAL, June 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Anritsu Company (IMS booth #807) introduces noise figure measurement capability for its VectorStar MS4640A and ME7838A Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) to provide designers, modelers, and manufacturers of RF/microwave amplifiers with an unprecedented level of measurement capability. Option MS4640A-041 equips VectorStar to be the only VNA family with 70 kHz to 125 GHz noise figure measurement, enabled in part by a unique receiver optimized for measurements from 30 GHz to 125 GHz. With this introduction, Anritsu continues to display its VNA and millimeter-wave (mm-wave) technology leadership.

Noise figure measurements enable test engineers to determine potential degradation of signal-to-noise ratio from system components in applications including radar, wireless communications, and digital communications. These engineers often have to balance the conflicting demands of designing higher performance requirements with less budget in shorter times. VectorStar offers the unique blend of technical leadership, high performance, ease of use and flexibility.

The receiver used to perform the industry-first VNA-based noise figure measurements at 125 GHz incorporates a unique design focusing on improved noise performance and reduced sensitivity-to-source impedance. The result is a robust capability to make high-quality microwave and mm-wave noise figure measurements on a wide variety of active devices. 

For less experienced test engineers, configuring a noise figure test setup can be particularly challenging. It is often necessary to add pre-amplification and filtering in front of the measurement receiver to ensure sufficient sensitivity to make a quality measurement. If too little amplification is used, there may be excessive jitter from the instrument A/D converter. If too much power or amplification is applied, compression can impact the measurements. 

These two constraints form the effective noise figure measurement range and can limit the flexibility a user has in choosing pre-amps and filters. The MS4640A-041 option takes advantage of the high-performance VectorStar architecture to provide a wider noise figure measurement range and greater configuration flexibility. In addition, Anritsu enables the use of a simple, low-cost termination, rather than a specialized noise source, as part of the cold source noise figure measurement method. These advantages result in an easier to use, more flexible test system.

Noise figure measurement capability continues to add to the VectorStar toolbox for active device test. The VectorStar series already includes features like a unique gain compression capability where a user can display gain compression at up to 401 frequencies to characterize performance over a DUT's operating bandwidth in one step. If there is a need to perform active device testing at the wafer level, the VectorStar platform can utilize active and passive tuning of source and load impedances to help account for both fundamental and harmonic content ensuring optimum DUT performance during test.

The MS4640A-041 option for noise figure measurement capability is priced at $15,000 and is available in approximately 8 weeks ARO. The 125 GHz receiver is model SM6609 priced at $30,250 and available in approximately 16 weeks ARO.

HoneyDress.com Releases Newest Line of Custom Dresses in Time for Summer

International custom dress retailer HoneyDress.com announces the release of their latest line of wedding gowns, occasion wear and custom made dresses just in time for summer.

The company CEO also unveils secrets for women trying to select the perfect dress.

PISCATAWAY, N.J., June 19, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- International occasion wear retailer HoneyDress.com celebrates its latest line of custom and special event dresses by revealing secrets about choosing the perfect dress. Company CEO Simon Chan says the secret lies in choosing a dress that highlights a woman's best features.

"The best-dressed woman is the one who is comfortable in her dress," Chan says. "There are countless styles available, so you just have to ask yourself what makes you feel sexy and go from there. There are no real rules in fashion today."

Chan has these tips for women trying to select the best dress, whether it's a wedding dress, prom dress, cocktail dress or some other kind of special event outfit:

    --  Classic A-line dresses aren't just for weddings anymore! A-line dresses
        are great for almost any body shape, especially women who are
        pear-shaped.
    --  The rules for dress styles according to occasion are all but being
        broken right now. Any dress can be right for any occasion as long as the
        fabric is suitable for the event.
    --  Busty women can accent their features with a scooped neckline, which
        draws attention to the face without revealing too much. Women trying to
        avert attention away from their bust should also avoid bodice fabric
        with a high sheen because it can draw attention to the very feature they
        are trying to downplay.
    --  Curvy and plus-sized women should look for an empire gown, which makes
        the most of curves without adding pounds. Avoid pleats and loose fabric.
    --  Apple-shaped women should focus on V-necks that gather right at the
        thinnest part of the waist and flair out gradually while highlighting
        all their thinnest areas.
    --  Simple silhouettes are perfect for tall women with a lower waist-line.
        Avoid dresses with too many frills and opt for classic elegance instead.
    --  Straight-lined women without a lot of curves will want a dress that
        creates curves in places where they don't have them. A ball gown that
        emphasizes a tiny waist and a sheath dress that flares out at the bottom
        are often good choices.
    --  Petite women will want a high waist-line to make their legs appear
        longer and small details on the bodice to draw attention upward. Sheath
        or trumpet dresses are good options.
    --  Women with small busts will want extra fabric or a ruched design on the
        bodice to help create curves where there aren't any.
New shoppers at HoneyDress.com will receive a $10 off coupon. The retailer is also offering up to 70 per cent off on wedding dresses, special occasion dresses (such as homecoming dresses, prom dresses, quinceanera dresses) and additional coupons for anyone who "likes" them on Facebook.
