With synergistic effects and a step-wise approach, Sugon goes global

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, Supercomputing Conference 2015, a global top-class supercomputing feast, took place in Austin, USA. SC with a history of 27 years has long been an arena where global players compete and measure themselves. This time, Sugon embarked on Austin as the seven-time number one player among China's top 100 high-performance computing vendors and the third runner-up on the list of global top 500 supercomputing vendors, with an aim of establishing global presence in high-performance computing sector and implementing and promoting its go-global strategy, not just showing its innovative products and technology.

A step-by-step approach to going global

With the accelerated implementation of Chinese high-level strategies including "the Belt and Road", the performance of Chinese vendors especially Sugon on the global HPC market brings about a greater room for imagination and growth. In July 2015, Sugon launched its international strategy called Open & Invest at ISC15 held in Germany. In less than half a year, Sugon's go-global strategy was deployed across the globe, making rapid and substantial progresses worldwide through multilevel flexible cooperation of various forms.

In Europe, in light of relatively stable market pattern and user habit, Sugon established OEM strategic partnership with ALU targeting corporate users by leveraging its powerful hardware manufacturing capabilities, participating and cultivating the market with product quality. Meanwhile, Sugon secured OTT-based hardware platform development contracts with many TV stations in Turkey and France, gaining a stronghold with easily accessible industry applications.

In Southeast Asian market and Russian and East Europe, Sugon presents its products to local users directly through local channels. In this June, Sugon signed a sole dealership agreement with RRC for distribution of Sugon products in Russia and East Europe. In May, Sugon signed an agreement with Singapore-based ECS, making it the sole distributor of Sugon products in five Southeast Asian countries, while Singapore Solution Test Center was set up to reach out to the entire Southeast Asian market.

Moreover, in South America and Africa, Sugon is deepening its understanding of local markets, especially for Cuba and South Africa, through construction assistance program in response to the Chinese government's strategic deployment, participating in local community development, gaining a stronghold and laying a solid foundation for future business growth. 

Tapping the top-level market in North America through strategic partnership

North America is the most developed market for ICT sector. Faced with a market where heavyweight players are gathered and industry research and applications are most developed, Sugon intensifies its investment to solidify its branding capabilities in North America using a top-level partnership strategy. In this market, Sugon focuses more on strategic alliance and technology integration, and endeavors to transform from a supplier of sever and storage solution into a total service provider, using its technical expertise in hardware equipment and deep understanding and practical experience in HPC industrialized applications, while seeking mutually beneficial business opportunities with partners.

At the recently-held 8(th) China-US Internet Forum, Sugon President Li Jun noted that How to make use of data to guide national and corporate development, make the planet more livable and cities smarter will be a challenge to all mankind. In this regard, the US has numerous success stories for China to learn from, and Chinese IT companies are gaining more experience from trials and errors and both China and the US enjoy a huge market potential. As a leading HPC and cloud computing player in China, Sugon expects ardently that the two countries will cooperate with mutual trust in such fields as data computing in pursuit of global win-win in the era of digital economy.

In late November, on the occasion of the first anniversary of IPO of Sugon, Sugon became a strategic partner of VMware, a global leading cloud infrastructure and mobile commerce vendor, once again demonstrating Sugon's world-class corporate strategy of seeking all-round, deep cooperation with foreign companies in terms of technology, product, market and industry application. To accommodate the important steps of market transformation, Sugon needs not only to change from an equipment supplier to a service provider but also to join hands with more global leading players to accelerate its go-global process with an open mindset. 

According to its strategy, Sugon will seek cooperation with governments, starting with Washington as the center of East Coast, soliciting IT partners in San Francisco as the hub of West Coast to enrich Sugon's SAAS application-level solutions. In this market, Sugon will provide all-round support to its partners in North America in terms of technology, marketing and market with a more open gesture, investing in projects of potential users in North America using a diversified and flexible cooperation model. In North America, Sugon is actively showing its gesture as a world-class company, establishing a solid presence in this mature market. The exploitation of North America as a world-leading market will undoubtedly facilitate the further business growth of Sugon across the globe. 

When looking at the deployment of Sugon's go-global strategy, Sugon Vice President Wang Lei admitted profoundly that Sugon's success in the go-global process would be impossible without in-house innovation that Sugon has been pursuing for nearly two decades. With the multiyear technological reserve and capabilities, Sugon has become increasingly popular among companies along the value chain, and they have extended olive branches to Sugon in response to market change challenges. the challenges brought about by market changes.

Currently, Sugon has many strategic partners worldwide and constantly pursues market-oriented collaboration, "Sugon Red Map" representing Chinese supercomputing force is expanding worldwide.. On the latest list of TOP 500 SC players unveiled at the SC 2015, Sugon became one of top three in terms of SC market share with its 49 supercomputers by overtaking IBM, a historic breakthrough ever made by a Chinese company in the global SC industry.

Although its international expansion efforts are still in their infancy, NetEase is working to build on its early success to realize its vision as a worldwide games business. As a leader in China's online game industry, NetEase faces both challenges and opportunities to launch its products in the international market. NetEase still has ways to go to achieve its expansion goals on the global stage, but is making swift progress across its business lines in an increasingly large market, where there remain both international and domestic growth possibilities.

Panasonic LUMIX is Changing Photography Again with 'Post Focus'

For LUMIX Digital Camera DMC-GX8, DMC-G7 and DMC-FZ300

NEWARK, N.J., Nov. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic LUMIX is proud to introduce a new photographic function called 'Post Focus' that allows anyone to capture multiple photos with multiple in focus points through a single release of the shutter.

Post Focus leverages Panasonic's high-speed, high-precision, 49-area DFD (Depth From Defocus) auto focus technology, and leadership in 4K Photography and Video, to capture 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) images at 30 fps.

The operation of Post Focus function is quite simple and easy - set the camera to Post Focus mode, and press the shutter button. The camera automatically "racks" the focus while capturing photos with varied in focus points. During playback, use the touch screen to select the in focus area desired, and save as a separate 8 megapixel photo file...all right in the camera.

To assist in getting the perfect image, take advantage of Focus Peaking, 5x magnified view and fine adjustment functions, taking as much time as needed after shooting. The process can be repeated to get multiple images as many times as desired from the original photo.

The Post Focus function is best for non-moving subjects, such as portraits or landscapes, and is ideal for shooting at wide apertures to create dramatic, shallow depth of field effects. Create different impressions out of a single shot by changing the highlighted subject after capturing the picture, taking the risk and anxiety out of getting that perfect picture.

This capability will also assist advanced users interested in macro photography. Simply capture the scene using the same process, then use third party software to perform "focus stacking", to combine multiple frames into a single image, which has more areas in tack-sharp focus for amazing results in a fraction of the time typically needed for great macro images.

The Post Focus function will be available on the DMC-GX8, DMC-G7 and DMC-FZ300 by updating to the latest FREE firmware upgrade, which will be available at GMT 1:00 a.m. on November 25, 2015 at LUMIX Global Customer Support Site: http://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/index.html

Volvo Cars to Develop Next Generation Automotive Technologies With Microsoft

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, November 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    - With Photo

    Volvo Cars, the premium car maker, will work together with Microsoft, the leading
platform and productivity company, to jointly develop next generation automotive
technologies.

    To view the Multimedia News Release, please click:

    http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7668751-volvo-the-virtual-showroom

    The two companies today revealed how Microsoft HoloLens, the world's first fully
untethered holographic computer, might be used in future to redefine how customers first
encounter and explore a car, as well as how cars might be bought and sold in future.

    Areas of future collaboration between the two companies could include autonomous
driving technologies and the utilisation of data generated from connected cars to create
new services.

    Today's HoloLens demonstration was conducted at Microsoft's global headquarters in
Redmond, USA, and showed how mixed reality might be used by customers to configure cars in
three dimensions. With HoloLens, a powerful, wearable computer, holograms are mixed into
the physical world.

    "HoloLens offers the freedom to create a bespoke experience which customers can steer
themselves. Imagine using mixed reality to choose the type of car you want - to explore
the colours, rims, or get a better understanding of the features, services and options
available," said Bjorn Annwall, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Sales and Service.

    He added HoloLens technology might also liberate dealers from more traditional sales
environments and allow them to take a car configurator out on the road in small Pop-Up
stores, shopping malls or on the high street, opening up new sales channels and
introducing cars to a far larger potential audience.

    At the HoloLens demonstration today, participating journalists were also given a mixed
reality preview of Volvo's new S90 premium sedan, which will be unveiled in reality at the
North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January.

    Today's event offered an indication of the potential of mixed reality to transform the
relationship between the customer and the car. Journalists were able to experience Volvo's
new sedan and its latest autonomous driving technology in 3D before the car has even been
built and launched.

    "We are thrilled to be working with Volvo Cars to reimagine what is possible in car
design, discovery and purchasing. We are excited to be at this intersection of technology
and human-centric design with Volvo," Scott Erickson, Senior Director, Microsoft HoloLens
at Microsoft Corp.

    Today's demonstration marks the beginning of longer term cooperation between Volvo and
Microsoft that will embrace a range of new technologies, all of which have implications
for the automotive industry.

    One area of focus will be autonomous driving. Volvo Cars is a pioneer in car safety
and is leading the way when it comes to connected cars and autonomous driving. It has
announced a programme called Drive-Me in which 100 self-driving and connected cars will be
given to real customers on real roads around the Swedish city of Gothenburg by 2017, the
world's largest autonomous driving experiment.

    Other areas of cooperation are expected to include how information gathered by cars
and their drivers can be used to enhance the driving experience and the possibility of
using predictive analytics to improve safety.

    "We are extremely happy to innovate with Microsoft in the field of future mobility,"
said Klas Bendrik, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Volvo Cars.
"Today's technology will allow us to achieve not only a more sustainable and crash-free
future but also new benefits for our customers and society. Together with Microsoft we aim
to pioneer in this field."

Fujitsu introduces 2 in 1 Device that Evolves with the Workplace

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

News facts:

    --  Unlimited usability and productivity with a 2 in 1 - business tablet and
        business notebook in one device
    --  Ultimate mobility: delivers high quality, productive experiences at any
        time and in any location
    --  Featuring 6(th) generation Intel® Core(TM) i7 family, the new FUJITSU
        Tablet STYLISTIC R726
With the introduction of the FUJITSU Tablet STYLISTIC® R726,  the latest 2 in 1 STYLISTIC tablet, Fujitsu today settles the argument about whether office users are more productive with a traditional notebook or a tablet - by delivering a device that does both. Expanding the extensive range of FUJITSU Tablet STYLISTIC models, the STYLISTIC R726 empowers users to transform the way they work to meet their individual style and needs - with and without a keyboard, in a powerful yet compact touch device.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140618/119400

With a stunning 12.5-inch anti-glare touch screen, the STYLISTIC R726 is among the latest generation of powerful tablets that is able to provide enough on-screen real estate for users to focus on content creation. The keyboardless option is perfect for content consumption as well as working in space constrained conditions - for example, an airplane seat where there may not be room enough to fully open a clamshell notebook.

The new STYLISTIC is uniquely able to adapt to new ways of working - for example, moving seamlessly from providing a desktop PC experience via a convenient desktop cradle to being undocked and used as a tablet, without the user needing to interrupt their work - and with the choice of touch or pen-based input. It's a one-handed move to connect a slim magnetic keyboard, then unfold the built-in tablet stand to transform the STYLISTIC R726 into a versatile notebook in just seconds.

Kevin Wrenn, Senior Vice President PC Business, Fujitsu America, says: "The STYLISTIC R726 complements the robust Fujitsu lineup of mobile and tablet products for the enterprise by offering a unique array of customizable options to meet customer specific business requirements. No matter what configuration is employed, users are sure to appreciate its powerful performance and the numerous features - from the expansive screen to the ruggedized housing - that make the STYLISTIC R726 a standout in this emerging tablet product category. Fujitsu has a long history of providing innovative IT solutions at users' fingertips, and the STYLISTIC R726 is no exception."

The STYLISTIC R726 features processors from the 6(th) generation Intel® Core(TM) i7 family, and packs a punch when it comes to performance - while a durable magnesium-aluminum housing protects against the wear and tear that a tablet must endure every day. Enterprise-grade features are also a must, with the STYLISTIC offering security features including encrypted drives, TPM and NFC-based contactless SmartCard authentication.

By standardizing on the use of Microsoft® Windows® 10 operating system, Fujitsu is also ensuring that organizations enjoy easy deployment and device management via existing tools based on Microsoft Windows 10, meaning faster and automated processing of administrator work tasks and a solid foundation for fully digitalized processes.

Pricing and availability

The FUJITSU Tablet STYLISTIC R726 will be rolled out globally beginning February 2016 via Fujitsu resellers, Fujitsu direct sales and online. Prices vary by country and configuration.

Ultra-low Power Microcontroller Development Kits for Apollo MCUs Launched by Ambiq Micro

New microcontroller board evaluation kits offer rich toolset and features for extending battery life in products for the Internet of Things (IoT)

AUSTIN, Texas, November 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Ambiq Micro, a leader in ultra-low power integrated circuits, today announced a duo of
Apollo MCU evaluation kits to enable engineers to assess the capabilities and cutting-edge
low-power performance of the Apollo sub-threshold microcontroller: the 'Apollo EVB'
evaluation board and the 'Apollo EVK' evaluation kit.

    Announced in January this year, the new suite of Apollo MCUs is based on the 32-bit
ARM(R) Cortex-M4 floating point microcontroller and redefines 'low power' with energy
consumption that is typically five to ten times lower than that of MCUs of comparable
performance. The dramatic reduction in energy consumption is achieved using Ambiq's
patented Subthreshold Power Optimized Technology (SPOT) platform and can enable
significantly longer battery life in wearable electronics and other battery-powered IoT
applications.

    A key feature of the primary kit, the EVB evaluation board, is the integration of an
on-board hardware debugger together with a complete Software Development Kit (SDK). In
addition, the system also comes with FreeRTOS, all the necessary hardware drivers, plus a
wide selection of code examples to enable quick and effective hardware and software
evaluation, development, debug and prototyping.

    The Eclipse based graphical software Integrated Design Environment (IDE) and the Open
On-chip (OpenOCD) debugger command-line terminal interfaces run without any external
modules or hardware. However, external support is available via a standard 10-pin ARM
connector for debugging with other third-party tools such as Keil, IAR, Segger or
Lauterbach. The baseboard's AM-Link mode also enables it to operate as a stand-alone
debugger for an external target/prototype system for in-circuit debugging. Also included
is a serial wire output (SWO) channel, which supports Instruction Trace Macrocell (ITM)
debug output information.

    The EVB system can be powered via the single micro-USB cable from either a PC USB port
or via a DC adapter included in the kit, with further options for connecting to an
external battery or power supply. There is a choice of system operation at either 2.0V or
3.3V with selection via a jumper setting using the on-board voltage regulators or via the
external battery connector. Additionally, the board offers split power rails for the
Apollo MCU and expansion connector peripherals enabling individual power sources and
simultaneous current measurements on both rails.

    The EVB has several on-board user interfaces including three user pushbuttons, an MCU
reset pushbutton, four user LEDs, and a serial-wire-debug activity LED. The baseboard also
includes four female expansion card connectors in individual 2x14 pin arrays, which also
function as header test points. The baseboard also features an additional right-angle 2x14
header connector for attaching smaller expansion cards.

    The second kit, the Apollo EVK evaluation kit adds further functionality and comprises
the EVB board system plus add-on modules that include a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) add-on
card, and a Sensor Expansion Card.

    The BLE card is based on Dialog Semiconductor's low power DA14581 and includes an
on-board 2.4GHz antenna. The Sensor Expansion Card comes pre-populated with a host of
different sensors including a number of three-axis accelerometers and gyroscopes and a
magnetometer, along with 128MB of serial Flash memory for storage of sensor data. This
modular board also allows additional radios and/or sensors to be added either via a
fly-lead approach or via alternate add-on boards.

    The Apollo EVB evaluation board and Apollo EVK evaluation kit are available now at
prices of $249 and $299, respectively.

Microsoft Dynamics AX delivers the power of the cloud to businesses

Cloud-based ERP empowers people, organizations with intelligence and insights to increase the speed of doing business.

REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. on Thursday announced that the next release of its flagship ERP solution, Microsoft Dynamics AX, will be generally available in the first quarter of 2016. The new release, architected for the cloud, brings the power and intelligence of the next generation of cloud computing in an enterprise-class business application to people and organizations worldwide.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20000822/MSFTLOGO

Microsoft announced that a public preview of the new solution for customers and partners will be available in early December. Revealing the new name of the release, Microsoft Dynamics AX, the company departed from branding that included years or versions of the product to a simple brand that underscores Dynamics AX is a cloud-based service that will be regularly updated. The company will also implement a new, simple and transparent subscription pricing model to make it easier than ever for organizations to purchase the solution in a way that helps them grow at their own pace.

"Our ambition to build the intelligent cloud comes to life with apps optimized for modern business, like Dynamics AX," said Scott Guthrie, executive vice president, Microsoft Cloud and Enterprise. "When you combine the hyperscale, enterprise-grade and hybrid-cloud capabilities of Microsoft Azure with the real-time insights and intuitive user experience of Dynamics AX, organizations and individuals are empowered to transform their business operations."

This latest release delivers a new, intelligent user experience, optimized to deliver value to organizations by enabling them to make smarter decisions faster. It brings proven business processes to the cloud, which means that the full set of capabilities of this solution will be available to customers from day one. Dynamics AX introduces continuous management services that enable the software to quickly adapt to an organization's business needs. The new Dynamics AX also harnesses the power of the cloud, giving businesses and people global availability and scale to work anywhere, anytime so they can grow at their own pace and on their terms.

A new user experience to accelerate decision-making
Businesses are looking to empower their people with tools they want to use and to enable them to make smarter decisions faster. To enable this, Dynamics AX offers a new user experience that looks and works like Microsoft Office and delivers deep integration that seamlessly shares information between Dynamics AX, Dynamics CRM and Office 365. It gives people near-real-time analytics powered by Azure Machine Learning with the ability to visualize data through Power BI embedded right within the application. This gives users not only the information they need, but also predictive capabilities built right in the application. Dynamics AX offers a fully browser-based, new HTML5 client which gives people access to Dynamics AX across platforms and devices and enables organizations to extend and build business-specific mobile applications. Based on extensive usability analysis, the redesigned Dynamics AX brings a new touch-enabled, modern user interface that uses the principles of highly visual applications that users expect in consumer applications to their enterprise business applications.

Quicker implementation and easier management
ERP systems have traditionally been known for their rigidity, complexity, and slow deployments and implementations. Dynamics AX is changing the game in this area with revolutionary new technology that continuously enhances rather than disrupts business processes and operations. Bringing forward the breadth and depth of proven business processes in horizontal and vertical industries, including retail, manufacturing, distribution, professional services and public sector, the new Dynamics AX brings the complete capability of the product to market on day one and uses the cloud to provide ongoing service and management to adapt to business and industry needs. The new release also introduces enhancements to Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services, an Azure-based service that allows for turnkey deployment with prebuilt, industry-specific solutions available in the Azure Marketplace and automated setup on Azure, empowering customers to deploy faster with higher quality. The new Dynamics AX delivers a more flexible solution architecture that enables incremental implementations, changes and updates, giving businesses more agility and faster time to value.

Enabling business through the power of the cloud
Businesses are looking for flexibility and choice in how, when, where and at what pace they bring their operational systems to the cloud. Building on the global Microsoft Azure platform, with its strong commitment and capability to meet diverse data locality and data sovereignty requirements, Dynamics AX is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of global customers. The new release brings with it the benefits of the cloud that are most important for business -- from simple signup, immediate provisioning, and built-in high availability and disaster recovery to elastic capacity to add resources but only pay for them when they are being used.

The Lotus F1 racing team knows firsthand the benefits of Dynamics AX. "The beauty of Dynamics AX is that it will help you make better informed decisions faster, and ultimately increase your business potential to take business operations to the next level," said Thomas Mayer, chief operating officer, Lotus F1 Team.

More information on Dynamics AX and its capabilities can be found in a Dynamics AX blog post from Mike Ehrenberg, technical fellow, Microsoft Dynamics ERP, as well as a blog post from Christian Pedersen, general manager, Microsoft Dynamics Marketing. The following videos and guided tours are also available:

    --  Deliver amazing customer experiences

Kionix's Breakthrough 6-Axis Accel-Gyro Combo Sensors Provide Industry-Leading Low Power Consumption

ITHACA, N.Y. and KYOTO, Japan, Nov. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Kionix, Inc., a leader in the design and manufacture of MEMS solutions, has announced the mass production of its KXG03 6-axis Accelerometer-Gyroscope combo and the unveiling of two new flagship 6-axis Accelerometer-Gyroscope combos: the KXG07 and the KXG08.  "Our new products represent a significant technological leap forward in reducing the power consumption of 6-axis solutions," says Nader Sadrzadeh, President and CEO of Kionix.  "High power consumption has traditionally hindered the adoption rate of gyros across a variety of platforms.  Kionix has now eliminated this barrier, benefiting applications in Mobile, Gaming, IoT, and Wearables where power is most critical."

The KXG07 and KXG08 incorporate a newly developed, proprietary technology which dramatically lowers the power consumption of the gyroscope.   The KXG08 is packaged in a conventional 2.5mm x 3mm x 0.9mm 14-pin LGA, while the KXG07 is offered in a 3mm x 3mm x 0.9mm 16-pin LGA package with footprint compatible with many of Kionix's discrete accelerometers.  These new solutions enable full high-speed operation of the onboard accelerometer, gyroscope, and temperature sensor at industry-leading low-power consumption levels as low as 0.2mA.  This reduces sensor power consumption over comparable devices and brings the combined operation of the gyroscope and accelerometer to levels traditionally associated with standalone accelerometers.  These products include synchronization functionality, a 4,096-byte buffer and support for controlling and acquiring data from external sensors.  The KXG07 and KXG08 will start sampling in December 2015.

The KXG03 is designed to lower overall system power by offering unique dual-state capabilities.  These dual-state capabilities provide for greater autonomous operation and allow the host microprocessor, which consumes considerably more power, to sleep for longer periods of time.  It includes buffering capabilities, an onboard temperature sensor, the ability to control two external sensors via a secondary I(2)C bus, and advanced capabilities for synchronizing external sensor data and events.  It also includes an unprecedented degree of control of the device's two states, allowing the KXG03 to turn on and off internal and external sensors, start and stop buffering, and manage sampling rates.  The KXG03 comes in a 3mm x 3mm x 0.9mm 16-pin LGA package and is shipping in mass volumes starting December 2015.

Turtle Beach Corporation's Groundbreaking Hearing Healthcare Device - HyperSound Clear - Has Launched and is Available at Participating Hearing Healthcare Providers

Company Announces New Partnership with Elite Hearing, LLC - the Largest Network of Independent Hearing Healthcare Providers in the United States, Further Broadening HyperSound Clear's Distribution Channel

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Turtle Beach Corporation (NASDAQ: HEAR), the leading-edge audio technology company, today announced that after nearly two years of development and preparation, its groundbreaking hearing healthcare device - HyperSound Clear(TM) - has officially launched and is now being sold to consumers through hearing healthcare providers. Turtle Beach began fulfilling initial pre-orders for HyperSound Clear in October, and the Company is now executing a controlled rollout of the product to a small group of hearing healthcare providers through the end of 2015, and will further expand HyperSound Clear availability in early 2016. Additionally, the Company has vastly broadened its network of providers via a new distribution partnership with Elite Hearing, LLC, the largest network of independent hearing healthcare providers in the United States. Elite Hearing is part of Amplifon USA, a subsidiary of Amplifon S.p.A. - the global leader in hearing healthcare for more than 65 years, and currently supports more than 1,600 member locations across the U.S. Through this new partnership, consumers will be able to purchase HyperSound Clear through Elite Hearing's network of hearing healthcare providers.

"With a completely new type of consumer technology like this, our priority for HyperSound Clear is to bring it into the market at the right pace versus attempting to maximize revenue early-on," said Rodney Schutt, Senior Vice President and General Manager for the HyperSound business at Turtle Beach Corporation. "We are deliberately introducing HyperSound Clear into the channel slowly, which allows us to better monitor and integrate feedback from our partners and focus on customer satisfaction. Our current production schedule through the end of the year is limited and already fully allocated, and we're on-track to deliver product to a smaller subset of our hearing healthcare partners first, with the expectation that by the end of Q1 next year we'll have increased our manufacturing output and the number of hearing healthcare partner locations that carry HyperSound Clear."

HyperSound(®) technology is a fundamentally new approach to sound delivery that generates a highly directional, narrow beam of audio in the air. Similar to how a flashlight directs a beam of light, HyperSound Clear directs a beam of audio to targeted listeners, which has been shown to significantly improve sound clarity and speech intelligibility in individuals with hearing loss(1). HyperSound Clear works in parallel with the audio from the TV or home theater system, so a person with hearing loss will experience immersive, 3D audio when sitting in the HyperSound beam, while everyone else in the room hears audio from the TV speakers or home theater system at a normal volume level. This means that people with hearing loss, along with family members and friends, can once again return to the family room to enjoy the latest home entertainment together. Additionally, HyperSound Clear will be programmed by a hearing healthcare professional to a specific user's hearing profile to deliver optimal results, andis customizable for up to two individuals.

HyperSound Clear is available for a MSRP of $1,675, and consumers interested in purchasing it should speak with their hearing healthcare provider. Additionally, through its partnership with CaptionCall(®) Turtle Beach is offering complimentary white glove installation for a limited time for each HyperSound Clear unit sold in the U.S., where the Company will install and setup the first-of-its-kind directed audio solution for people with hearing loss for the optimal home listening experience. Once purchased, programmed and brought home, patients in the U.S. will be contacted by a member from CaptionCall to schedule the complimentary in-home installation.

Researchers estimate that one in five Americans, and one in three people over age 65, suffer from hearing loss. Impacting over 48 million Americans, hearing loss is the third most common chronic physical condition in the United States. An estimated 360 million people worldwide suffer from some form of hearing loss, and HyperSound Clear offers a new way for people living with hearing loss to once again enjoy home entertainment.

Volvo Cars Unveils Concept 26, Delivering the Luxury of Time

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, November 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Volvo Cars' ongoing research into autonomous driving has confirmed what we all know -
that the daily commute is taking the joy out of driving. It is during the commute and on
long-haul motorway trips that people are most willing to delegate the act of driving to
their car.

    To view the Multimedia News Release, please click:

    http://www.multivu.com/players/uk/7694951-volvo-cars-unveils-concept-26

    With this in mind Volvo has developed Concept 26, named to reflect the average daily
commute to work of 26 minutes - time that could be spent doing something more meaningful
than sitting in stop-go traffic. Volvo has set out to bring choice and freedom back to the
driver; to enjoy the driving experience when they want to, or to delegate driving to the
car when they want to do something else.

    Drive, Create, Relax 

    "It's all about people. Our research clearly shows that some people will want to use
their commuting time creatively when they have full autonomous drive available, while
others will want to just sit back and relax, watch online media or listen to music.
Autonomous drive will make all of this possible. This is what Concept 26 has captured by
reimagining the entire car experience," said Robin Page, Vice President of Interior Design
at Volvo Cars.

    Concept 26 is based around an all-new patented seat design that actively cradles the
driver during the transformation phase into one of the three modes: Drive, Create or
Relax. With these three modes the concept creates a new autonomous drive innovation
platform that can adapt to new needs and technologies over time.

    When the driver wishes to delegate driving to the car the steering wheel retracts, the
seat reclines and a large display emerges from the dashboard allowing the driver to enjoy
the time spent in the car as they like.  Concept 26 embraces the need for radical change
of the basic design of car interiors and provides a space that can be used as the
driver/passenger wishes.

    Concept 26 opens up a new paradigm of possibilities in the car - from entertainment to
service provision and beyond, using the technology that is now a natural part of our
everyday lives. It also signals the huge potential for new business opportunities and
high-tech collaborations that autonomous drive will bring.

    "We have gone to great lengths to understand the challenges and opportunities that
autonomous cars will bring to people in coming years, and our flexible approach to
engineering and design, enabled by our new Scalable Product Architecture, means that we
can readily bring this from concept to reality," said Dr Peter Mertens, Senior Vice
President Research and Development at Volvo Car Group.

    Confidence

    Volvo Cars' ongoing Drive Me research project, which will see an extended fleet of
fully autonomous cars driving real customers on the roads of Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2017
is further proof that Volvo is a leader in autonomous drive technology, building firmly on
its foundation of safety.

    "Volvo Cars is among the first to address the subject of self-driving cars and
liability. We firmly believe that car makers should take full responsibility for the
actions of the car when it is driving in full autonomous mode. If a manufacturer does not
accept liability it clearly implies that they are not confident about their autonomous
drive technology," said Dr Peter Mertens.

Given that customers will be spending $630.5 billion(1) throughout the holiday season, Asurion's technicians are ready and accessible to help with all things tech no matter the device or platform - whether that's your new smartphone, connected thermostat or operating system - so customers don't have to be fluent in tech.

"As the holidays approach, we know people are excited to get and give the hottest new devices on the market, but I get calls every day from people who may not understand how to work the cool new features on their phone, tablet or other connected device," said Jailyn, Asurion premier support technician.

    --  How do I manage my device settings?  I'm not used to this new operating
        system and there are so many setting options on my new phone.
    --  How do I transfer/sync my contacts from my old phone to my new one?

World's Fastest Scanner Finally Makes the Paperless Office a Reality

Thousands of pre-orders on Indiegogo set to top $500,000

SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- A young Chinese entrepreneur has invented the world's fastest scanner (according to Forbes).  It's about to hit the market thanks to thousands of backers on Indiegogo. Turn a page, hit a button and it's instantly in your iPhone, computer, and the cloud.  The dream of a paperless office or a paperless library archive; for decades challenged by technology and sticker shock - is now a reality.  An average book can be scanned in less than 5 minutes.

The Czur (pronounced Caesar) smart scanner looks and doubles as a stylish desk lamp-- snaps up images in less than a second.  A Wi-Fi connection sends the images to your laptop, ipad, or smartphone, and Czur's software automatically crops the page and makes the picture flat and smudges proof--optical character recognition means you can search text.  Never waste time storing and finding a physical document again. Now all personal and business papers, as well as books, can be archived and easily searched in the paperless cloud.

Czur scans with a Sony sensor up to a large resolution format of 4608 x 3456 in 16 million pixels HD CMOS with a 32 Bit MIPS CPU.  But, its secret technology is a creative proprietary algorithm that's been in the works for 3 years, which allows for seamless one-touch scanning to picture correction to cloud storage for any books, documents, files, contracts, or even solid objects.  A HDMI out port is included to project your live scans or cloud archives. 

The team behind Czur is based in China's Silicon Valley, Shenzhen, and the young entrepreneur, 29 year old CEO Kang Zhou, has even been recognized by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang with a golden key for IOT innovations.  Hardware entrepreneurs are increasingly using crowdfunding as a tool to disrupt the supply chain by cutting out traditional distribution channels; they sell direct to consumers at wholesale prices.  Zhou says, "We believe technology should be accessible to anyone so we set a price point that was affordable enough to start a digital archiving revolution previously only accessible to well funded projects like Google Books." 

Its Indiegogo campaign has taken off fast almost surpassing $500,000 (putting the project at over 2000% funded).   At a price of $199, Czur is more affordable, faster, and easier to use than the clunky flatbeds or corporate ADF scanners we've all struggled with.  Zhou also wants to help the world go green, "We want to eliminate the photocopy button altogether.  Who needs paper anymore when you can scan instantly to your phone, ipad, computer, and cloud at the same time with one touch on Czur?"
