Fluke ScopeMeter 120B Series simplifies and speeds electro-mechanical troubleshooting

The new industrial handheld oscilloscope is the first with IntellaSet intelligent measurement detection that automatically displays the most relevant measurement values

EVERETT, Wash., Feb. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's industrial machinery is more reliable and efficient, but can also be more difficult to troubleshoot because of the complexities of its advanced systems. The new Fluke(®) ScopeMeter(®) 120B Series Industrial Handheld Oscilloscope is designed to address these challenges with innovative features that improve the speed, efficiency, and accuracy of troubleshooting complex electro-mechanical systems. 

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160210/331911

The compact ScopeMeter(®) 120B Series features Connect-and-View(TM) technology that recognizes signal patterns and automatically sets up the scope's triggering, amplitude, and time base eliminating the typical trial-and-error setup process. Once the waveform is captured, the new IntellaSet(TM) intelligent measurement detection automatically selects key measurements based on the acquired waveform type and displays the most relevant measurement values (for example, Vrms and Hz for a line voltage signal, or Vpeak-peak and Hz for a square wave), helping technicians easily identify and characterize potential signal faults.

The 120B Series also features Event Capture function that captures and identifies elusive intermittent events and lists all those events that exceed a predetermined threshold. This lets technicians identify key events quickly, rather than combing through large data sets, reading by reading.

As part of Fluke Connect(®) -- a system of wireless test tools that communicate via the Fluke Connect(®) app, or Fluke Connect Assets software, a cloud-based solution that gathers measurements to provide a comprehensive view of critical equipment status -- the 120B Series can automatically record waveform data to the Fluke Connect app on smartphones or tablets ensuring accuracy and eliminating manual recording of data. Those measurements are then wirelessly uploaded to the cloud and can be combined with measurement data from multiple Fluke Connect test tools to create and share reports from the job site via email and collaborate in real time with other colleagues, increasing productivity in the field.* Storing then comparing and contrasting waveforms of specific asset test points over time enables maintenance engineers to better identify and troubleshoot conditions that can lead to failures.

The wireless 120B Series also allows technicians to place the meter in locations that are difficult to access or are potentially hazardous, then take measurements from a safe distance.

Roam-Like-at-Home in EU With Fair Usage Policy

SANTA CLARA, California, February 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Mobileum Announces Fair Usage Policy Support Mandated by EU Regulation 

    Mobileum [http://www.mobileum.com ], the leader in roaming and analytics solutions for
telecom business transformation, has today announced the launch of the advanced version of
Roam-Like-at-Home (RLAH) enabler, with fair usage policy (FUP) support to meet the
guidelines mandated by EU Regulation 2015/2120.

(Logo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140224/671325)

    While the detailed FUP guidelines are open for public consultation by the European
Commission and are yet to be finalized, Mobileum's RLAH enabler offers highly flexible
policy rules to cover a broad definition of periodic travel, and thus ready to support FUP
even before the regulations fully come into force. This will enable roaming providers to
apply a 'fair use policy' to prevent misuse or anomalous use of regulated roaming services,
thus, when the roamer exceeds fair use limits, a surcharge may be applied.

    The European Union (EU) Council has set June 15, 2017 as the deadline to end roaming
surcharges. However, some mobile operators have already seized this opportunity to offer
an 'inclusive pricing' model to subscribers for data usage, limiting the threat of roaming
bill-shock and induce usage uplift.

    "Mobileum's EU Regulation enabler not only ensures compliance with EU regulations on
roaming, but also helps CSPs to proactively offer a Roam-Like-at-Home tariff to roamers,
with set limits that can be monitored and capped using the FUP (fair usage policy) feature
to guard against service misuse," according to V.V.R. Kishore, SVP of Roaming Business at
Mobileum.  

    The RLAH enabler solution is an extension of Mobileum's proven solution for compliance
with EU Regulation III Single IMSI enabler, which has already been deployed by CSPs across
the EU. The policy rules within the RLAH enabler can measure actual roaming usage against
allowances, subject to FUP limitations, for regulated traffic in real time and also send
notifications to subscribers when they reach the allowance limits.

    To learn more, visit Mobileum at booth # 6H41 at MWC-2016 in Barcelona. 

    About Mobileum:  

    Mobileum helps CSPs leverage the power of predictive analytics to deliver monetizable
insights that drive business transformation at 617 CSPs across 150 countries. Mobileum's
Wisdom-Action platform powers solutions across domains such as voice and data roaming,
IoT/M2M, video, WiFi Hetnets, Travel, Counter fraud, Data abuse, and CEM. Mobileum is

IBM Unveils New Mainframe for Encrypted Hybrid Clouds

-- World's most secure server, built for hybrid cloud, available for mid-sized organizations[i]

-- System encrypts data at twice the speed of previous generations, new z Systems Cyber Security analytics identify malicious behavior based on learned behaviors[ii]

-- IBM and partner security solutions now provide stronger total network protection

ARMONK, N.Y., Feb. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today unveiled a new mainframe, bringing the security of data encryption without slowing down system performance to mid-sized organizations.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160215/333304

The new system, IBM z13s, is enabled and optimized for hybrid cloud environments and can help secure critical information and transactions better than before. IBM also announced new security partnerships and highly integrated innovations for the mainframe:

    --  Security embedded into hardware - The new z13s has advanced cryptography
        features built into the hardware that allow it to encrypt and decrypt
        data twice as fast as previous generations, protecting information
        without compromising performance.
    --  Intelligent security capabilities - IBM is integrating mainframe
        technology with IBM Security software solutions to create a more secure
        foundation for a hybrid cloud infrastructure. IBM also is offering a new
        Cyber Security Analytics service to z Systems customers that can help
        identify malicious activity by learning user behavior over time.
    --  Expanded partner ecosystem - IBM is working with leaders in the cyber
        security industry through the "Ready for IBM Security Intelligence"
        partner program to help deliver enterprise-wide solutions and offerings
        tailored to specific client needs. The new partners for z Systems are
        BlackRidge Technology, Forcepoint (a joint venture of Raytheon and Vista
        Equity Partners) and RSM Partners.
As digital business becomes the standard and transactions increase, the need for increased security has become paramount. The typical enterprise can face an average of 81 million security incidents annually.(iii) The incidents and threats are escalating and evolving as companies increase interactions to their network through mobile devices and cloud networks, with industry analyst IDC forecasting 80 percent enterprise hybrid cloud adoption by 2017.(iv) Cyber criminals nowadays are manipulating data, rather than stealing it, compromising its accuracy and reliability.(v) The z13s provides access to APIs and microservices in a hybrid cloud setting while keeping data integrity intact.

"Fast and secure transaction processing is core to the IBM mainframe, helping clients grow their digital business in a hybrid cloud environment," said Tom Rosamilia, senior vice president, IBM Systems. "With the new IBM z13s, clients no longer have to choose between security and performance. This speed of secure transactions, coupled with new analytics technology helping to detect malicious activity and integrated IBM Security offerings, will help mid-sized clients grow their organization with peace of mind."

Mainframe portfolio deepens security capabilities

IBM's z13s, the new entry point to the z Systems portfolio for enterprises of all sizes, is packed with security innovations.

z Systems can encrypt sensitive data without compromising transactional throughput and response time, eliminating what has traditionally been a barrier for IT departments in implementing encryption. The z13s includes an updated cryptographic and tamper-resistant hardware-accelerated cryptographic coprocessor cards with faster processors and more memory, providing encryption at twice the speed as previous mid-range systems. This means clients can process twice as many high-volume, cryptographically-protected transactions as before without compromising performance. This equates to processing twice as many online or mobile device purchases in the same time helping to lower the cost per transaction.

z Systems clients can take advantage of the z Systems Cyber Security Analytics offering, which delivers an advanced level of threat monitoring based on behavior analytics. The solution, being developed by IBM Research, learns user behaviors and is then able to detect anomalous patterns on the platform, alerting administrators to potential malicious activity. Along with IBM® Security QRadar® security software, which can correlate data from more than 500 sources to help organizations determine if security-related events are simply anomalies or potential threats, z Systems now delivers breakthrough intelligent security solutions that offer end-to-end protection based on advanced analytics. z Systems Cyber Security Analytics service will be available as a no-charge, beta offering for z13 and z13s customers.

IBM Multi-factor Authentication for z/OS (MFA) is now available on z/OS. The solution adds another layer of security by requiring privileged users to enter a second form of identification, such as a PIN or randomly generated token, to gain access to the system. This is the first time MFA has been tightly integrated in the operating system, rather than through an add-on software solution. This level of integration is expected to deliver more streamlined configuration and better stability and performance.

Enhanced security for the hybrid cloud

Hybrid cloud infrastructure offers advantages in flexibility but can also present new vulnerabilities. With more than half of all attackers coming from the inside, organizations must automate monitoring, removing human error or meddling.(vi) To address this, IBM is integrating the mainframe with IBM Security solutions that address privileged identity management, sensitive data protection and integrated security intelligence. When paired with z Systems, these solutions can allow clients to establish end-to-end security in their hybrid cloud environment.

IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence can help prevent inadvertent or malicious internal data loss by governing and auditing access based on known policies while granting access to those who have been cleared as need-to-know users. IBM® Security Guardium uses analytics to help ensure data integrity by providing intelligent data monitoring, which tracks which users are accessing what specific data, helping quickly identify threat sources in the event of a breach. IBM Security zSecure and QRadar use real-time alerts to focus on the identified critical security threats that matter the most to the business.

Security partner ecosystem expands to mainframe platform

Total system security requires deep knowledge of specific industries and threats. That is why IBM is working with other leaders in the field to augment its own solutions. IBM's strategic partnership program for security, "Ready for IBM Security Intelligence," now includes more software applications from key ISVs integrating their solutions for z Systems. As the program extends to z Systems, it will provide an additional layer of protection and access governance to critical applications, resources and data that reside on the mainframe.

    --  BlackRidge Technology delivers identity-based network security that
        operates before network connections are established and security
        defenses engage at the application layer. BlackRidge determines and
        authenticates user or device identity on the first packet before network
        connections are established. This provides the equivalent of secure
        caller ID for the network that allows only identified and authorized
        users or devices access to enterprise systems, stopping known and even
        unknown threats.
    --  Forcepoint's Trusted Thin Client® secures sensitive and mission
        critical data at the endpoint - where it is most at risk. With a
        read-only endpoint device, there is no residual data on the device - if
        compromised nothing can be stolen or leaked.
    --  RSM Partners offers deep expertise in application readiness, penetration
        testing and security reviews. It also has software products that help
        ease security administration and provide dashboards that give a view
        into an organization's overall mainframe security posture.
Banco do Nordeste, Latin America's largest regional development bank, has purchased two new z Systems to support its growing mobile and banking automation transformations. Security, and specifically fraud prevention, is a primary concern for the bank. With z Systems as a core part of its technology infrastructure, it can use analytics capabilities to detect anomalies and prevent fraud.

"As our business continues to grow, we need a computing platform that can grow with us - while at the same time offering the security and reliability banks require," said Claudio Freire, Superintendent of Information Technology, Banco do Nordeste. "The combination of performance and security on the mainframe with the openness of Linux provides us with an optimal platform to analyze user engagement and manage massive amounts of sensitive client data while keeping it secure."

The new z13s' planned availability will be March of this year. IBM Global Financing leases and payment plans are available from IBM and IBM Business Partners and provide flexible terms and conditions that can be tailored to meet each customer's needs to upgrade from older models to z13s, convert an owned z system to leasing while upgrading or acquiring a net new z13s. Promotional offers include 90 days deferred payment for new credit-qualified customers.

TCL's CSOT Launches High-end Small-sized LTPS Display

SHENZHEN, China, Feb. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- TCL's China Star Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd (CSOT) launched a new model of a high-end, small-sized low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) display at their new research and development center in Wuhan, China on February 10(th). The launch of the new model marks TCL's success in grasping the core technology of the 6th generation of LTPS and the early phase of its capability to produce high-end small-sized LTPS displays.

The assembly line of the 6th generation LTPS (oxide) LCD/AMOLED display panel built and invested by CSOT is the first such generation assembly line in China to adopt the LTPS technology. Compared to traditional TFT-LCD panels, LTPS can increase the electron mobility rate by a large increment, enabling the display to achieve a faster reaction speed, a higher level of brightness, increased stability, a decrease in weight, a thinner form factor, longer life and a reduced consumption of energy.

CSOT has also initiated cross-industry collaborations whereby the firm has joined forces with professional medical research organizations such as Beijing Tongren Eye Hospital and Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences, among other specialized medical research institutions, to found the world's first nationwide innovation-based alliance focused on visual health. Currently, the alliance is advocating the establishment of an international standard for health and fatigue measurement through the deployment of a circular polarization technique, as well as overall improvements in the design of outdoor displays.

Backed by a strong portfolio of intellectual property patents, CSOT was able to launch the product ahead of schedule. In 2015, Wuhan CSOT applied for 620 patents in China, 614 of which were invention patents and six were utility model patents. During the year, the firm also applied for 167 patents through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), and 85 patents in the U.S. The research combined with the strong patent portfolio not only offers the company the technical wherewithal to launch the product ahead of schedule, but also the strength to successfully compete in the international arena.

With the goal of placing the model into mass production and of providing partners with more competitive products and solutions, CSOT's next step is to accelerate the product yield and output of the production line, while ensuring reliability of product quality. In time, CSOT expects to be able to produce 88 million display panels for high-end smart phones and mobile PCs every year.

CSOT's smart factory in Wuhan, China, is based on the deployment of a highly integrated communication network infrastructure. In the factory, automated conveyor belts, overhead trolley conveyors as well as automated cassette loading and unloading conveyors can be seen everywhere. The equipment transports the cassettes containing the glass substrate between production lines, enabling the automated transfer of the glass substrate upon completion of each of the four main processes in such a way that the processes that form the production of the LCD panels are connected by artificial intelligence. The automated transfer of the cassettes between processes is not only fast and efficient, but also guarantees the final quality of the product.

In the clean factory environment, the manufacturing system integrated with artificial intelligence is able to collect and analyze production data in real time, provide a visual presentation of the status of production as well as automatically run and, as necessary, modify the actions of the production equipment. More than a thousand robots can be seen at work in the massive front-end manufacturing rooms, handling the array, color filter (CF) and cell segments of the LCD production process. Human workers are few and far between. The few human workers among the robots are there only to conduct basic inspections of the workplace. Such a production environment ensures maximum efficiciency.

Wuhan CSOT plans to automate the warehousing of the materials and the end products, the scheduling of the production, and, eventually, even the repair and shipping of products, by standardizing each production process module, instituting of a logic-based decision-making process through the analysis of big data and automating the management and control of the production modules, leading to the creation of the fully-automated factory and taking the lead in inspiring other manufacturers across China to do the same.

Le1s, the Smartest Smartphone at Affordable Price

NEW DELHI, February 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Best-in-class Features, Many Industry Firsts, and Stunning Looks Make it the Winner

    LeEco's recently launched flagship killer Le1s reiterates the brand's image of
bringing disruptive technology to global markets. The Le1s is already the market disruptor,
having sold record breaking units in just few seconds of its sale. The superphone which
comes at a sustainable price, re-defines the value segment, and challenges
flagship smartphones such as Samsung Galaxy S6, which are three times more expensive than
Le1s. Stunning design, best-in-class technology, and compelling features make Le1s the
winner hands down. 

    Design

    Le1s has a trendy full-metal body - it is one of the few brands in the market
worldwide to have so. It is no wonder that Le1s has been the top seller in China since its
release last October - has sold more than 2 million units in just two months. Le1s's metal
uni-body is breathtakingly sturdy and made for perfection with aircraft grade aluminum,
which makes it solid and reliable - the CNC processing duration of 3300s is exquisitely
crafted for a seamless experience as a whole. The Le Superphones are possibly the world's
only metal uni-body devices that feature a screw-less industrial design leaving no trace
of industrial assembling on the body.  

    And surprisingly, although Le1s is a full-metal phone, its weight is 169 gm, 23 gm
lighter than the same-screen sized 5.5-inch iPhone 6s Plus. The metal design also not only
provides full signal but also strengthens it. Compared to the same full-metal
iPhone 6s Plus, Le1s has a better signal performance.

       
        Signal                  2G-3G 4G  Wi-Fi
        Le1s vs. iPhone 6 Plus 18%   24% 13%

    Specifications

    Like its unique hidden button design, only by Letv, Le1s comes with many firsts in the
category. At a highly competitive price over the Galaxy S6 or the M9+, Le1s brings the
Dual SIM on a 4G Wi-Fi band that is available only on the M9+, which is priced much
higher. The Le1s also packs the Octa-core, 2.2 GHz, Helio X10 Turbo processor compared to
Samsung's Quadcore or HTC's Mediatek MT6795T Helio X10. The Le1s is a budget powerhouse
and heavy gamers are sure to inhabit the Le1s for a stunningly smooth gaming experience.
The phone is also crammed with 3GB of RAM offering the joy of multitasking.

    The Le1s packs in more battery power compared to the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the HTC One
M9+. The Le1s comes with a 3000 mAh Li-Po battery over S6's 2550 mAh and M9+'s 2840
mAh. This means an Le1s consumer can enjoy far more talktime than others in the category
on same charge.

VTech® Helps Babies Reach Developmental Milestones with Expanded, Expert-Supported, Dedicated Baby Line

NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today VTech(®) announces the expansion of its successful Baby line, featuring a collection of new products, taking the total offering to more than 30 toys that deliver developmentally appropriate benefits for little ones. To ensure that the wide-ranging Baby line of rattles and teethers, on-the-go toys, baby plush, soothers and playmats helps babies meet essential development milestones, they have been designed in collaboration with Dr. Lise Eliot, early brain development expert and member of VTech's Expert Panel. Understanding that expectant mothers and new parents are faced with many options, VTech has also continued to grow its online Milestones resource. This trusted guide helps parents choose the right toys for their children to give them the best start, based on the child's individual needs. New introductions to the Baby line are on display at the 2016 North American International Toy Fair(®).

VTech has worked closely with Dr. Eliot to ensure that all Baby products deliver against at least one, if not all, of the following categories that are essential for the development of young children: language and cognitive development, social and emotional development, and physical and motor development. VTech's rattles and teethers are important for physical and motor development; on-the-go toys help language and cognitive development; baby plush and soothers lend themselves to social and emotional development; and playmats promote all of these developmental skills.

"Learning begins at birth, and babies absorb much more than we realize from their moment-to-moment interactions with the world around them," said Dr. Eliot. "As parents strive to do what's best for their child, they can introduce activities that help him or her learn through play. Babies are strongly motivated to reach developmental milestones all by themselves, and toys in VTech's Baby line can encourage them, make learning fun and grow with your little one over those important early years."

"As an industry leader of early childhood learning products, we know how important it is to help babies from their very first moments," said William To, President of VTech Electronics North America. "We engage experts to ensure we are delivering toys appropriate for each milestone and parents can rest assured that, with our Baby products, they are giving their children the best possible start in life."

New highlights from the Baby line, available later this year, include:

Crinkle & Roar Lion(TM): Shake, explore and sing with the Crinkle & Roar Lion. Press the colorful shape buttons on the lion's side to learn shapes, colors and letters. Shake the adorable lion to activate the motion sensor and hear him roar and play other cheerful sounds. Little ones will love the crinkly feet, ribbon tags and textured ring. The lion also includes a baby-safe mirror to build self-awareness. It's the perfect take-along toy and can be attached to carriers, strollers and more. Ages birth +.

On-the-Moove Activity Bar(TM): The On-the-Moove Activity Bar is a cute farm-themed toy bar for babies on the go. Press the button on the cow, and be rewarded with cheerful phrases and playful songs and melodies. Swing the cow back and forth to activate the motion sensor and hear interesting sounds. The bird holds a textured ring that's easy to grab, and the ladybug has a baby-safe mirror for peek-a-boo fun. This interactive bar easily attaches to most infant carriers using easy-to-attach adjustable elastic straps. Ages birth +.

Sleepy Lullabies Bear Projector(TM): Soothe little ones to sleep with the Sleepy Lullabies Bear Projector. This adorable bear projects a colorful image onto the ceiling to calm babies. Choose between three sound modes that play music, nature sounds or white noise to help block out everyday noises so babies can fall asleep faster. The bear also features voice activation that plays calming music and a timer switch that turns the bear off after ten or thirty minutes. Lull baby to sleep with lights and lullabies! Ages birth +.

Babble & Rattle Microphone(TM): Sing along with the Babble & Rattle Microphone! Just like a real microphone, this interactive microphone amplifies children's voices, and the puppy button encourages them to sing along with the songs. Turn the ring to introduce twelve different animals and their sounds or hear playful melodies. Press the instrument buttons to play twelve melodies in either classical or rock 'n' roll style and to learn about instruments. When little ones shake the toy microphone, it will play fun sounds and phrases. Ages 3 months +.

Sort & Discover Activity Cube(TM): The Sort & Discover Activity Cube is five sides of fun! Little ones will love exploring seven fun activities and two electronic panels that introduce colors, numbers, animals and more. Turn the book page, twist the spinner and slide the animals to develop fine motor skills. The activity cube also develops hand-eye coordination with the shape sorter and colorful shape pieces. Ages 9-36 months.

Toy Island Takes Movie-Making to New Levels at Toy Fair 2016 With Introduction of Special FX Master

New App-Enhanced Product Enables Kids to Create Fun Videos Using Instant, High-Quality Special Effects

NEW YORK, Feb. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Toy Island is set to unveil a revolutionary way for kids to make videos during the North American International Toy Fair at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.

Special FX Master will be on display during Toy Fair from February 13-16, 2016 in booth #2D11.

"At Toy Island, we understand that making videos is already a popular activity for tweens and teens, and we are thrilled to have designed a new product that enhances what kids are already doing," said Tom Emelo, Vice President, Marketing, Toy Island. "Perfect for a quick laugh or a young, budding film director, Special FX Master takes video making to an all new level as kids can create fun videos on a smartphone or tablet with instant, high-quality special effects."

Special FX Master is available in two different movie genre kits - Action Hero and Box of Horrors. Each kit contains five exclusive props for kids to feature in their videos, with 10 special effects per prop. Right before their eyes, props transform on screen and instantly add special effects while kids are recording.

Kids can impress their friends and family by including everything from hologram calls and wrist computers to lashing lizard tongues and coffins in their videos.

After purchasing a kit at retail, the free app can be downloaded and young movie makers can select one of the props from the kit along with an awesome special effect. Then tweens and teens can let their imaginations run wild to create unique videos! The Special FX Master app will be available for iOS and Android devices in the App Store and on Google Play.

For Kids Ages 6 to 12, this Fashion-forward Kids' Wearable Combines Smartwatch Functions with Modern Messaging Capabilities, Fun Mini-games, a High-quality Camera and Video Recorder, and More

Demonstrations of the New Kurio Watch Will Be Given Daily During Toy Fair, February 13th to 16th at the Javits Center in New York City, KD Group Booth #5527

NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- KD Group, maker of the Kurio line of kid-safe Android and Windows tablets, announces today Kurio Watch, a real, working Bluetooth smartwatch made specifically for kids ages 6 to 12.  While sized to fit kids' small wrists comfortably, there's nothing kid-like about this fashion-forward, high-tech kids' wearable.  Kurio Watch has a sleek, modern design with smooth rounded edges, a brightly colored, adjustable soft silicone band, and it features a responsive touch screen with excellent resolution.  It has a customizable interface, 128 MB of internal memory (expandable by microSD card), a high-quality camera and video recorder, music player, built-in speaker and microphone, accelerometer, plus 20 fun mini-games and apps.  Bluetooth technology allows kids to connect safely with other Kurio watches and tablets, as well as family member's Android devices, to message each other and play multiplayer games.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160212/332741

"Kids are digital natives and, naturally, they want the technology that they see mom and dad using--tablets, smartphones and smartwatches," said Eric Levin, KD Group strategic director.  "In looking at the marketplace, we saw many toy 'smartwatches' made for preschoolers, but nothing that could impress today's tech-savvy pre-tweens.  With Kurio Watch, we're delivering a cool piece of hardware that allows kids to have their very first smartwatch and communicate safely with friends and family, at an affordable price point--under $60."

Customization
Kids can customize their Kurio Watch face and wallpaper, choosing from more than 10 different designs.  Options include some of kids' favorite licensed characters, including Transformers(TM), My Little Pony(TM), Littlest Pet Shop(TM), Pokémon(TM) and more to come. 

Bluetooth Communications
Kurio Watches come preloaded with the Kurio Messaging App.  The app is also available in the Google Play store and can be downloaded to any Android smartphone or tablet. This allows kids with a Kurio Watch to pair their wearable with friends' and family's devices within a safe distance (up to 50 feet).

Then, using the watch's Bluetooth technology, kids can share voice recordings, photos, drawings, emojis and text messages--just like teens and adults do!  Kurio Watch can also be used as a hands-free way for kids to take phone calls when connected to a parent's Android smartphone i.e. "Say 'hi' to grandma!"  All without having to get a new phone contract or pay an additional monthly fee.

Games & Apps
Kurio Watch is preloaded with both single and multiplayer games, including motion games that can be played using a child's precise wrist movements (thanks to Kurio Watch's built-in accelerometer).  Mini-games include snake, tic-tac-toe, battleship, motion maze, motion sport and more. 

It also comes with basic smartwatch tools, such as an alarm, calendar and calculator; an activity tracker; photo retouch, drawing and music player apps; a voice recording & changing app that allows kids to record funny messages; plus, a voice translator app that allows kids to select from a list of words and have the watch say each word in many different languages.

The watch also has an I.C.E. (In Case of Emergency) app that allows parents to enter the child's critical information, including blood type, any allergies and an emergency contact.

Photos & Videos
Kurio Watch has a front-facing camera, which makes it easy for kids to take selfies and videos of themselves to share with friends and family.

Kids can take thousands of photos and up to 30 minutes of video (or a combination of photos and videos) and store them on Kurio Watch's internal memory.  They can easily expand the watch's memory using a microSD card to save additional photos and videos.

Kurio Watch will be available at major retailers across the U.S. and online in fall of 2016.  It will be offered in both blue and pink.  The MSRP is $59.99.

Veritas Advances Retention and Risk Mitigation with New Innovations that Improve Information Governance

Enterprise Vault(TM) 12 and Data Insight 5.1 Enable Businesses to Gain Critical Visibility into Their Unstructured Data and Take Action

SINGAPORE, Feb. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Veritas Technologies, the leader in information management, today announced new innovations to Enterprise Vault(TM) 12 and Data Insight 5.1 including advanced classification, support for Box, and automated remediation workflows. Together they provide businesses with critical visibility into their unstructured data and empower informed decisions about what critical information to retain and what to delete for compliance, business value and discovery. This is more important than ever as the Veritas Data Genomics Index, also released today, reveals that 41% of data has not been modified in a typical corporation and is three or more years old.

http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20150408/8521502200

"In today's digital age, virtually every organization struggles with the challenges brought on by exponential data growth with the average business spending as much as US$20.5 million annually on stale data," said Greg Muscarella, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Veritas Information Intelligence. "To manage their data deluge, most seek to expand their existing infrastructure. However, a proactive information governance strategy can deliver significant bottom line results while reducing risk. Enterprise Vault(TM) 12 and Data Insight 5.1 deliver critical innovations that empower organizations to gain visibility into their data and make smart decisions."

Enterprise Vault 12

Organizations increasingly must keep some information and delete other information to meet governance and regulatory requirements or for business intelligence. Enterprise Vault 12 introduces a centralized, high-performance, highly flexible classification framework that simplifies identifying meaningful or regulated information while deleting the non-essential. Using Veritas' patent-pending technology or a compatible classification engine, Enterprise Vault 12 automatically classifies ingested content including emails, files, SharePoint, instant messaging, and social media. Additionally, as the leading archive vendor, Veritas provides customers that have petabytes of already archived information the ability to re-classify it in a manner that helps them better adjust their long-term information-retention.

Other new capabilities include:

    --  Intelligent Review -- streamlines supervision of archived content by
        prioritizing relevant items for review and culling non-relevant items
        utilizing a continuously learning engine.
    --  Gated Deletion -- improves compliance by ensuring archived information
        is deleted only if it meets current retention policies. Organizations
        can now perform a policy check before expiration or user deletion.
    --  Image OCR (optical character recognition) -- enables search and
        discovery of archived images by extracting embedded text from images for
        indexing and classification.
    --  Enterprise Vault Search -- simplifies and speeds access to archived
        information with a new enhanced, intuitive interface.
For over a decade, Veritas has been recognized as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for both Enterprise Backup Software and Integrated Appliances[1] and Enterprise Information Archiving[2]. Veritas Enterprise Vault is the market-share leader of on-premises enterprise-information archiving solutions.

Data Insight 5.1

Organizations need to manage their most sensitive data and have it accessible by authorized users when needed. This is increasingly important as information is now stored not just on premises but also potentially across multiple cloud locations. Data Insight 5.1 introduces new support for Box, delivering the broadest ability to identify sensitive information across the enterprise, from on-premises storage to the most popular cloud options. It also offers enhanced remediation workflows to make access and permissions changes as automated and repeatable as possible, with easy access via a self-service portal. Veritas is able to uniquely deliver this capability at petabyte scales, by quickly scanning billions of file attributes and user activity.

"Veritas has a unique ability to deliver insights regarding enterprise data," said Sean Pike, Program Director, Next-Generation Data Security and eDiscovery & Information Governance, IDC.  "They are hyper-focused on offering solutions that provide visibility into their customers' information. That visibility allows Veritas customers to make better, more-informed decisions about what to protect and what to delete. Proactive information-focused decisions allow enterprises to mitigate the likelihood of an information crisis, and focus energy and resources on protecting mission-critical information assets. Delivering this intelligence is central to the end customer."

Data Imperatives 2016 Global Broadcast

To learn more about the challenges in unstructured data and how leading organizations are addressing them, join Veritas in a live global broadcast on Thursday, February 11 at 8 AM PST. The event features a keynote presentation by New York Times Best-Selling author Kenneth Cukier, an original contributor to "The Data Deluge" as well as information on Enterprise Vault 12 and Data Insight 5.1.To take part,register at http://bit.ly/1JlTsFT.

CTL Announces Curveball Enterprise Level Internet Security

New Internet Security Technology Developed by Galois, Inc. a Cyber-Security Research Leader for NASA, DARPA, Homeland Security, the U.S. Military is now Available for Your Business

BEAVERTON, Ore., Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CTL has announced Curveball enterprise level internet security, utilizing groundbreaking technology from Galois, Inc. Galois is a cyber-security research leader for DARPA, NASA, Homeland Security, the U.S. military and others. CTL is proud to present the Curveball solution in order to better serve our customers and protect them from the threats posed by hackers.

Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160211/332443LOGO
Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160211/332444LOGO

This innovative enterprise level internet security solution is able to detect hackers earlier than traditional methods, saving companies time and money. Hackers cost businesses more than $445 billion annually, according to a June 2014 US News and World Report. An M-Trends Report in 2014 stated that attackers can be present on a victim network for an average of 229 days before detection and are only discovered by an external source.

Curveball from CTL provides a massive, false network area for hackers to attack, without blocking legitimate traffic. This makes it incredibly difficult for hackers to find the real network. Curveball's technology can be used on both public IPs and internal IP spaces and has the ability to gather information about potential hackers. Businesses can have greater peace of mind with this solution, which produces less false positives than traditional internet security measures.

"CTL is excited to team up with Galois, Inc. to bring this cutting edge technology to our customers. By stopping hackers before they can infiltrate a network, Curveball protects companies from security breaches, downtime and extensive financial loss. With customizable packages, we can offer peace of mind to businesses of all sizes," said Erik Stromquist, President of CTL.

Traditional internet security often involves the use of a "honey pot," which is a server designed to attract hackers. Maintaining a honey pot requires valuable IT time and can result in false positives or delayed detection. Curveball from CTL is designed for early detection, with low false positives. Because CTL's Curveball solution utilizes multiple false servers, it is difficult for hackers to avoid, making it much more likely to detect intrusions than a single or small number of honey pots. Curveball offers a high level of security because the only running services are fake ones, on fake devices, with highly limited functionality.

CTL is offering five different Curveball packages to accommodate a variety of budgets. Pricing starts at $999 and includes hardware, a 1-year software license and 1-year hardware warranty. Businesses can customize packages to suit their needs and add an optional 3-year warranty or purchase software-only packages. For more information, visit http://curveball.net or email info@curveball.net.

New Pet Diabetes Tracker from Merck Animal Health Helps Owners of Diabetic Pets Manage the Disease

Pet owners can monitor everything from food consumption to blood glucose

MADISON, N.J., Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Merck Animal Health (known as MSD Animal Health outside the United States and Canada) today announced the launch of the Pet Diabetes Tracker, a free app that helps pet owners manage their pet's diabetes on their smartphone or tablet.

Diabetes is a serious condition that can be easily and effectively managed if pet owners know what to look for, and work with their veterinarian on a health plan for their dog or cat. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in dogs and cats ranges from at least one in 100(1) to one in 500(2). The number of dogs diagnosed with the condition has tripled during the past 30 years(3). Dogs receiving the proper treatment, however, have the same lifespan as a non-diabetic dog of the same age and sex(3). A diabetic cat can also have a happy and healthy life with treatment, an appropriate diet and regular healthcare routine.

The Pet Diabetes Tracker helps the pet owner to do routine, daily monitoring by entering important health information including blood glucose levels, food and water consumption, body condition and weight - all important factors to effectively managing a pet's diabetes. Ensuring the pet's veterinarian stays up-to-date with the pet's management plan is important and with the Pet Diabetes Tracker, owners can send reports directly to the veterinarian with a touch of one button.

"To help ensure the long-term health and well-being of a pet, successfully managing the various facets of the disease and treatment is critical," said Madeleine Stahl, DVM, Associate Director, Scientific Marketing Affairs, Merck Animal Health. "I think pet owners - especially those with a newly diagnosed pet - will find this app an incredibly useful tool because it puts all the pertinent diabetic health information at their fingertips."

Another important part of diabetes management is ensuring that the pet has the proper levels of insulin and the Pet Diabetes Tracker helps with that as well. Pet owners can track the amount of insulin given and also set reminders for when the next dose is needed. They can even reorder insulin directly through the app to ensure they never miss a dose.

Eye-Interaction Startup Eyefluence Enables Super-Fast, Intuitive AR & VR Control

New Eye-Interaction Experiences Illustrate the Future of Head Mounted Display (HMD) Devices

MILPITAS, Calif., Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Eyefluence, the creator and leader of eye-interaction technology for augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) devices, has begun demoing head mounted display (HMD) devices controlled solely by eye movements to a small group of users. A handful of thought leaders in the HMD space have experienced a series of applications that illustrate the future of interaction among computers, information and people with eye-interaction. In order for HMDs to realize their game-changing potential, they require a truly intuitive user interface with low-power, robust eye-tracking that enables users to interact with their eyes quickly, easily, and naturally - something that has not existed until now.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151109/285379LOGO

Eyefluence's vision-driven iUi(TM) interaction model is the first to go beyond traditional eye-tracking, harnessing natural eye movement and intent to enable users to do anything they can do with a finger on a smartphone or tablet with their eyes on smart glasses, but faster and easier.

As the next evolution in human-computer interaction, Eyefluence's technology will transform the way we work, play, think and connect while driving adoption of AR and VR headsets for enterprise, industrial, and consumer applications.

Following a two-minute tutorial, users instantly navigate and interact with consumer and enterprise applications designed for AR, VR and MR environments using only their eyes. With interaction times measured in tens of milliseconds, the power of eye-interaction is apparent, and users comment that the system feels like it's reading their minds. The experiences, demonstrated on ODG's R6 Smartglasses and Oculus's DK2 headset, both retrofitted with Eyefluence's eye-interaction technology, include:

    --  Texting and SMS messaging with your eyes
    --  Accessing healthcare data on patients including electronic medical
        records, X-rays, etc. secured by continuous biometric identification and
        authentication
    --  Perusing weather and travel information
    --  Browsing, zooming and sharing photos
    --  Purchasing anything you see in the real world in real time with real
        orders placed
    --  Searching and spinning a 3D globe
    --  Panning and zooming to find Waldo
    --  Whacking moles with your head, then with your eyes to internalize the
        speed of eye-interaction
    --  Exploring and interacting with a virtual room full of information
        screens as fast as you can think and look
"In more than two decades of developing interaction models for platforms adopted by hundreds of millions of people, including the LeapFrog LeapPad and Livescribe Smartpen, Eyefluence's iUi(TM) is the most natural, intuitive, and easily-learned method of human-computer interaction I've seen," said Eyefluence Founder, CEO and serial inventor Jim Marggraff. "Users simply think and look, without waiting or winking, jabbing or poking, pointing or clicking, to perform actions and communicate more quickly than researchers thought was humanly possible. This is a pivotal moment for our company, and for the HMD industry as a whole, that will accelerate the adoption of AR and VR hardware and experiences, with our technology deployed in forthcoming headsets. All HMDs are fundamentally incomplete without eye-interaction, and all will be enabled with eye-interaction technology in the future."

Eyefluence is currently partnering with product development teams within leading consumer electronics companies and HMD manufacturers to provide an entire eye-interaction solution for next-generation VR, AR and MR devices, including hardware design, licensing of a proprietary suite of robust eye-tracking algorithms, and a groundbreaking vision-driven iUi(TM) interaction model with an SDK and APIs.

As the lead strategic investor in Eyefluence's Series B funding round, Motorola Solutions sees potential for eye-interaction to drive a seismic shift in the way people interact with technology. Motorola Solutions is working with Eyefluence on integrating eye-interaction into its innovative "smart public safety" applications to create safer cities around the world.

"Imagine if police officers could get information on an unfolding crime scene without visibly moving a muscle," said Paul Steinberg, chief technology officer, Motorola Solutions. "Instead, they would use only the motion of their eyes behind glasses, leaving their heads up and their hands free to manage the scene and take quick action."

Eyefluence is currently engaged in development with leading Fortune 500 companies as well as emerging companies developing AR, VR, and MR hardware and experiences.
