MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Storage (NYSE: PSTG), the market's leading independent solid-state array vendor, today delivers new innovations that dramatically simplify storage ownership. New solutions include: Pure1 Global Insight to revolutionize customer support from "proactive" to "predictive," Pure1 Capacity Planner, and next-generation 3D TLC NAND flash technology. FlashStack Converged Infrastructure now also includes solutions for Oracle and SAP. With these new advancements, Pure Storage kicks off a new era in storage, transforming IT and businesses to accelerate innovation. Simplicity is at the core of Pure Storage and is the key to exceeding customer expectations and increasing customer loyalty.

"Dealing with legacy IT has become increasingly complex, expensive and painful, silently but insidiously killing productivity and sucking massive amounts of time and money better spent on accelerating innovation," said Scott Dietzen, CEO, Pure Storage. "We are doing nothing short of re-defining modern storage with simplicity first, and are constantly amazed by what customers are doing with the time and money we're giving back in the process."

Pure1 Global Insight: Support that's not just proactive, it's predictive

Traditional support is reactive, burdening customers to detect issues and call for support. Pure1 Support redefines the experience, offering, "astonishing," ultra-proactive support built on a few key principles:

    --  An "our problem" mantra: Pure Storage gladly assumes the ownership
        burden in support, helping solve problems, even if they result from
        other vendors' products;
    --  Pure Storage initiates most tickets before a customer detects an issue
        thanks to cloud-based management, support and real-time data, aggregated
        from 1000s of FlashArrays to automate fault detection;
    --  Bypassing Level 1 support: customers always reach live Pure Storage
        personnel who can help; and
    --  Remotely managed upgrades: Pure Storage performs more than 90 percent of
        upgrades, saving customers' time that often took away from their after
        hours or weekend schedules.
New Pure Storage Pure1 Global Insight revolutionizes support, by making it predictive through cloud-based analytics technology. Support personnel can foresee vulnerabilities and pre-emptively protect customers from problems and the risk of potential downtime. Pure1 Global Insight takes real-time diagnostic data across 1000s of arrays to perform automated scans against a library of "fingerprints" to detect vulnerability to known issues, configuration and environmental changes, and performance and capacity anomalies.

A match prompts support to reach out immediately. The solution has already found and prevented issues, ranging from host and switch misconfigurations to cabling errors and other potentially serious problems that could have led to costly downtime for customers. A major US educational institution that recently changed its host-networking configuration, became vulnerable to an issue, and within an hour, Pure1 Global Insight prompted Pure Storage to reach out and bring the customer back to a protected state.

Pure1 Capacity Planner: Helping customers see the future

The Capacity Planner lets customers forecast capacity consumption over time to estimate when they may need more, and identify usage trends to better plan and manage costs. New insight predicts when the array will hit capacity, reducing associated risks.

Storage management is key to effective flash deployment, and Pure1 removes decades of complexity from the legacy management model. Gone are the days when IT was stuck in the office managing storage; Pure1 lets customers monitor their global fleet of arrays from anywhere in the world. Since the launch of Pure1 in June 2015, there are more than 2000 users on the platform globally across the Pure Storage 1,100+ customer base.

New 3D TLC NAND: Driving the cost of all-flash storage as low as $1.50/usable GB

With the rate of flash innovation, all-flash array architectures need to support rapid adoption, including continuous improvements in NAND flash technology. Pure Storage's pioneering Evergreen((TM)) Storage does that for the customer, combining software and hardware innovations with investment protection.

Today's addition of new 3D TLC NAND flash to the FlashArray//m product line, offers 44 terabytes (TB) of raw capacity and lets customers mix-and-match TLC and MLC flash in the same system, to improve density of an existing FlashArray//m system to 60 terabytes per rack unit. Purity FlashCare technology also ensures TLC has the same lifespan and performance as MLC flash. Now, a fully scaled FlashArray//m system costs as low as $1.50/GB with all software included, making all-flash storage reliably cost less than disk for more and more workloads.

Pure Leaderboard: Results that are transforming IT and accelerating businesses

The Pure Leaderboard displays key statistics, like data and latency reduction, which showcase the dramatic impact that Pure technology can have, revealing core differentiators, including:

    --  Performance metric currently at 338,311,230 cumulative hours of latency
        reduced
    --  Data reduction and total reduction currently at 5.46:1 and 12.27:1,
        respectively
    --  Number of successful non-disruptive operations completed is currently at
        6,799
    --  Data center space reduction at 40,311 rack units saved globally
Reducing data center space, energy consumption and latency lowers the cost of storage ownership while accelerating application response times and business transformation. Pure Storage now shows the world how it's making a tangible impact.

FlashStack Converged Infrastructure: Now simplifying Oracle and SAP deployments

FlashStack provides a simple, all-flash alternative to legacy converged infrastructure (CI) solutions and today expands to the mission-critical application space with solutions for Oracle and SAP. FlashStack for Oracle consolidates transactional and data warehouse workloads into one CI solution that offloads compression, deduplication, and encryption from the database server, to make data base administrators (DBAs) more efficient. Additionally, FlashStack for SAP provides a 4:1 average data reduction to traditional SAP ERP Landscapes and reduces time spent on common SAP administration tasks by up to 50 percent.

    As a common language for a variety of applications, wide adoption of Lemonbeat
promises to remove the interoperability barriers that have previously hampered the
development of the Internet of Things. In particular, LsDL is independent from
transmission methods such Ethernet, WLAN, Bluetooth, Powerline, and Thread, enabling any
device to connect and interact seamlessly and autonomously with other devices, regardless
of manufacturer or application. In addition, LsDL uses proven XML Internet standards and
IPv6 technology to offer numerous technological advantages, including:

       
        - Efficient, low-power operation: a patented wake-on-LAN function makes Lemonbeat
          the ideal solution for battery-operated devices and also allows savings in
          implementation costs up to 40%.
        - Flexibility: LsDL supports the communication of a vast amount of devices, from simple
          switches-without the need for a "light" version-to complex systems and machinery.
        - Future-proof connectivity: support for both mesh and star network topologies, as well
          as an expandable logic, allows LsDL to adapt to devices or functions that will be
          designed in the future.
        - Security: secure encryption is handled separate from the transport layer to reliably
          exchange information and protect privacy across connected networks.

    "A common communication concept is the key to speeding up innovation within the IoT
industry and promoting the proliferation of devices" said Holger Wellner, managing
director of Lemonbeat GmbH, a new company set up by RWE to push the solution. "We have
taken advantage of our technological edge as the market leader in Germany to develop
Lemonbeat. The next step is standardization of the design language, which we believe will
more quickly and cheaply usher in the products and services that will make up a network of
distributed and linked intelligence."

    Industry Standardization and Adoption 

    In September, RWE presented comprehensive information on LsDL with the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C) and formally submitted a specification draft
[https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wot-ig/2015Sep/att-0048/RWE_lemonbeat_application_v1_8_draft.pdf ]
for the Lemonbeat Application Layer. Lemonbeat is currently at W3C
for review and comment in the "Web of Things" Interest Group.

    Recognizing the opportunity presented by Lemonbeat, the first pilot customers already
are showcasing prototype products that demonstrate how devices can be connected with each
other using Lemonbeat. For example, Gardena, part of the Husqvarna Group and known for
innovative gardening tools and watering systems, plans to introduce
[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/rwe-and-gardena-cooperate-537404491.html ] the
first robot lawnmowers that "speak" Lemonbeat onto the market next year.

    Product Availability 

    Developers and manufacturers in North America can now use the Lemonbeat smart Device
Language to integrate core communication services into edge devices. Products destined for
the European market can also leverage the Lemonbeat Radio (868 MHz) and Lemonbeat Chip, a
System in Package that combines processor and transceiver to allow the swift
implementation of Lemonbeat with full support for networking and wireless connectivity.
Further products are expected to follow, including the Lemonbeat Radio and Chip adapted
for the North America market and a development kit that will allow users to create

New Cypress Power Management ICs Enable Automotive Electronic Control Units to Handle Harsh Electrical Conditions

Unique Buck-Boost Technology Enables a Compact, Low-Power Solution to Manage Extreme Battery Voltage Fluctuation for ADAS, Body Control Modules and Instrument Cluster Systems

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY) today announced a new series of the industry's most compact, highly integrated power management ICs (PMICs) that regulate power supply voltage from a vehicle's battery for automotive applications including Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), body control modules and instrument cluster systems. The Cypress S6BP20x series of automotive PMICs leverages a unique one-channel, buck-boost DC/DC converter to enable Electronic Control Unit (ECU) power management solutions to safely manage extreme battery voltage fluctuations. The PMICs enable small form factor ECU power management solutions that use only one tiny ceramic capacitor instead of the two bulky, expensive electrolytic capacitors required by competitive PMICs.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151117/288043

Cypress also added the S6BP50x PMIC series for automotive instrument cluster systems to its portfolio. The 3-channel output PMICs integrate a buck controller, a buck converter and a boost converter, along with a Spread Spectrum Clock Generator (SSCG), all in a single chip. Both new primary PMIC series complement Cypress's secondary power source S6BP40x series, as well as Cypress's Traveo(TM) automotive microcontroller (MCU) family. The Cypress automotive PMICs carry AEC-Q100 automotive qualification.

"Our automotive products adhere to the most stringent standards and offer proven reliability, with more than 60 million automotive PMIC units shipped already."

The ECUs of today's vehicles must be small, low power and able to support system safety functions under all operating conditions, including during cold-cranking--when the automobile engine starter draws an excessive amount of current due to starting the engine in cold temperatures--or load dump--a power surge that occurs when an automobile battery is disconnected while the alternator is supplying current during engine operation. Cypress's S6BP20x automotive PMICs require only nine external components, providing a small PCB layout and reducing the system's bill of materials. The PMICs consume only 20 uA of quiescent current, extending battery life, and they feature an input voltage range of 2.5-42 V that encompasses both cold cranking and load dump conditions. Additionally, Cypress offers the Easy DesignSim(TM) verification tool and evaluation kits to accelerate automotive electronics design.

DSM introduces Somos® Element for 3D Printing industry

ELGIN, Ill., Nov. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal DSM, a science-based company active in health, nutrition and materials, announces today the introduction of Somos® Element at formnext, the international exhibition and conference on additive technologies and tool making in Frankfurt, Germany. This new material in the Somos® additive manufacturing portfolio is used to make complex parts for investment casting applications.

Investment casting is one of the main metal casting techniques used to create industrial end-use parts for the aerospace, energy and automotive industries. Patterns for investment casting have traditionally been made in wax for hundreds of years. An alternative technique was made available with the advent of 3D Printing. Patterns can be printed directly and skip the costly and time intensive tooling process that is used in the wax method. Somos® has been involved in investment casting using 3D printed patterns since this technique was first developed.

Through continuous interaction with our customers and end users, we have developed a deep understanding of what is needed to optimize the process. Somos® Element has been specifically designed to improve the repeatability and quality of 3D printed patterns with its improved dimensional stability and minimal ash content after burnout. Patterns created with Somos® Element burn out efficiently with a minimal amount of ash residue and the residue that is left behind is easily removed -- leaving a perfectly clean void in the ceramic shell. Somos® Element is also antimony-free which allows for use in titanium and other super alloy casting applications.

"Somos® Element increases the yield and reduces the amount of re-work needed for super alloy and other high specification parts as a result of its dimensional stability and smooth surface after the burn out process," says Kevin Zaras, Global Application Specialist Somos®. "3D printed patterns with Somos® Element offer increased design flexibility, stronger patterns and less post-processing of the cast part."

"We are very excited to deliver a new material for 3D printing investment casting applications," says Jasper van Dieten-Blom, Marketing Manager Somos®. "There is great opportunity for Somos® Element to be used to create patterns, especially for complex aluminium and alloy castings for the aerospace and automotive markets."

BroadForward Provides M2M Proxy Solution for the World's First PVNO

BroadForward's BFX Interface Gateway powers M2M communication for the world's first Private Virtual Network Operator (PVNO)

AMERSFOORT, The Netherlands, November 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    BroadForward, a Netherlands based software company, today announced its BFX Interface
Gateway has gone in full operation to support the world's first Private Virtual Network
Operator (PVNO). System integrator CGI in The Netherlands has implemented BFX to offer a
game-changing service for PVNOs, which creates an open market situation for mobile M2M
communications. The first PVNO using this service is a Dutch utility company, serving
millions of M2M devices (smart meters, gateways and remote telemetry units).

    With the new PVNO model, enterprises that have large amounts of SIM cards installed
across the country can become operators in their own right and escape the lock-in of long
term contracts with a mobile network operator. From now on they can switch to another
network provider without the need to replace SIM cards. Ownership of the SIM not only
reduces costs, it also stimulates innovation of services.

    The implementation of the proxy solution and PVNO service by CGI follows the recent
introduction by the Dutch telecommunications regulator of a unique, industry changing
legislative framework that enables enterprises to become communication service providers.
Enterprises can register as a so-called 'Private Virtual Network Operator' and obtain a
shared 'Mobile Network Code' (MNC). Participating enterprises connect to the PVNO solution
managed by CGI and will be provided with their own sub-range within this shared network
code.

    The managed service allows the participating enterprises to share this designated
network code across different operators for wireless communication between devices and the
enterprises' back-end systems. The Netherlands is the first country that has enabled this
type of virtual operator.

    At the core of the service is the BroadForward BFX Interface Gateway. It provides the
'proxy' technology required for intelligent routing of M2M traffic based on network codes
and sub-codes. BFX is designed to facilitate routing and interworking across Network and
IT protocols in a matter of hours without the need for development. BFX is deployed at
leading communication service providers around the world to enable multiple service
scenarios.

    Janine Tjassens, VP Consulting Services at CGI commented: "The PVNO model is an
important step in the evolution of M2M and Internet of Things. Its success will have a
major impact beyond energy and utility companies. It saves costs, secures a faster time to
market and stimulates innovation. BroadForward delivers the essential capability to make
the PVNO model really work. BFX provides us with a unique and flexible proxy function that
can connect multiple PVNOs and operator networks, and intelligently route and mediate
between them."

    About BroadForward 

    BroadForward is the leading expert in signaling interworking and routing for 2G, 3G,
4G/LTE, IMS, Fixed, Wi-Fi and M2M networks. BroadForward's BFX Interface Gateway is the
Next Generation signaling solution that provides a unique combination of any-to-any
protocol interworking, routing and GUI based services orchestration, working across
Diameter, RADIUS, SS7 and IT protocols. BroadForward's solutions are hardware-agnostic,
supporting network virtualization and cloud deployment. BroadForward was founded by an
internationally recognized team of mobile telecoms experts with a track record in building
carrier-grade, revenue generating products and services for global mobile operators.

Gigaclear Trials the UK's First 5Gbps Ultrafast Broadband Service for Home Owners and Businesses

LONDON, November 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Ultrafast pure fibre broadband provider, Gigaclear [http://www.gigaclear.com ], has
launched Britain's fastest internet package for retail customers with up to 5Gbps
broadband speeds. The H5G and B5G services, for home and business customers, offer
download speeds up to 200 times faster and upload speeds 1,000 times faster than the UK
average [1]. Up until now only the UK's largest organisations have been able to have such
speeds.

    Available to customers from early 2016 through Gigaclear's existing
fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) network, the ultrafast service significantly reduces the time
taken to upload and download large files. For example, to download a 1,500MB video can
take up to eight minutes on an average UK broadband service. This improves to two minutes
on Gigaclear's 100Mbps service, but will take between just four and six seconds with the
new 5Gbps package.

    Matthew Hare, Chief Executive at Gigaclear, said: "We're offering customers the chance
to access absolutely phenomenal broadband speeds. To be clear, this is a premium service
that gives the fastest Internet speeds in the country to those of our customers who want
the best connection that they can get. But it won't be long before there's a greater need
for a 5Gbps service as connectedness becomes an ever more important part of our everyday
lives. By launching the trial of this 5Gbps service now, we are showing all our customers
that we are delivering a future proof network today, one which won't need to be updated
even as their usage massively increases in the years to come."

    All the signs are that UK consumers will need this level of service soon. Internet
usage in the UK has increased fivefold over the past five years and is predicted to
increase threefold over the coming five years, according to research from the Cisco Visual
Networking Index(TM). Internet traffic is expected to grow by 23 per cent each year until
2019[2]

    Matthew Hare continued: "By 2019 Cisco estimate that there will be three-times as many
online devices on the planet as there are humans!  People will need significant bandwidth
to live and work the way they want. The beauty of our approach is that the pure fibre we
are putting into the ground today will support that future. Any Gigaclear customer will be
able to access this service without having to change a thing other than the electronics at
the end of the fibre."

    The H5G and B5G packages are now in trial with a selection of Gigaclear customers and
will be available to all Gigaclear customers from early 2016.

    For homeowners, the H5G package is expected to cost GBP399 per month including VAT.
The business package costs GBP1,500 per month excluding VAT, with the B5G package offering
lower contention rates, a higher service package and premium support.

Kidde, a leading manufacturer of residential fire safety products, is a part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).

The camera immediately records video upon sensing motion, and sends users an alert via a free app on their mobile devices. Trusted members of each user's network also can be notified. The user then can view the video and decide whether to dismiss or save it. Users may also request video clips from five to 30 seconds on demand. The video clips will be available in the app for 12 hours at no charge; during that time users can download directly to a smart device or the cloud, and/or share via social media. Long-term clip storage in the app is available at a minimal cost.

"Kidde has a nearly 100-year history of using innovative technology to deliver fire safety solutions for homes, and the RemoteLync Camera is a natural evolution," said Jon Hughes, director of product management, Kidde. "It provides reliable, affordable and flexible monitoring for those who want to keep tabs on their home without spending a lot of time or money."

The RemoteLync Camera includes exclusive technology from the makers of the Homeboy camera. An innovative, permission-based geo-arming feature will automatically arm or disarm the camera based on the owner's mobile device location -- arming it when the user leaves home and disarming it on return. The RemoteLync Camera uses a passive infrared sensor to dramatically reduce false alarms. A built-in "pet-mode" minimizes the chance of a pet's movement triggering the device, and it can be customized based on the size of the pet. Detected motion will activate an array of LED lights, which help to illuminate a dark room and allow for clear recording. The lights and optional audible alarm may also deter an intruder.

"The RemoteLync Camera is designed as a user-friendly way to create a 'connected home,' while still giving the homeowner control over where to install, who to notify, and whether to save or share the footage. Plus, if they own the accompanying RemoteLync Monitor, they also can get a real-time view if a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm sounds," said Hughes.

Highlights of the RemoteLync Camera:

    --  Installs easily, without cords -- Self-contained system runs on an
        existing Wi-Fi network, completely wire-free, mounts magnetically to an
        easy-to-install base and requires no additional hardware. No hammers,
        drills, extra routers, outlets or hubs needed.
    --  Event management - Provides instant notifications with free iOS and
        Android app or through email. Users can invite an unlimited number of
        trusted contacts to receive notifications and help monitor a location.
    --  Geo-arming - Automatically arm/disarm camera when homeowners leave and
        return to the location using an intelligent geo-fence.
    --  On demand video - Easily request video clips up to 30 seconds anytime -
        the camera even records at night with bright LED lights.
    --  Long-lasting rechargeable battery - Lasts up to three months on a single
        charge with typical usage.
    --  Mounts magnetically to the base - Install nearly anywhere; once mounted
        the camera will pivot and point in any direction.
    --  Notification for smoke and carbon monoxide - One app manages both the
        camera and RemoteLync Monitor that listens for existing UL-listed smoke
        and carbon monoxide alarms. Choose to record video if the monitor sends
        an alert that a smoke or CO alarm is sounding.
The RemoteLync Camera costs $189 and is available at select The Home Depot store locations and various online retailers. For more information visit kidde.com or follow @KiddeSafety on Twitter.

Emu Technology provides a quantum leap in performance for "Big Data"

SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Nationally awarded co-founders Dr. Peter Kogge, Dr. Jay Brockman and Dr. Ed Upchurch put together a team of world renowned computer architects at Emu Technology. For the past five years, this team has been developing an Exascale-capable computing architecture designed specifically to tackle the 'Big Data' applications that are choking today's supercomputers.  Emu Technology will unveil its revolutionary Migrating Thread Computer at the SC15 supercomputing conference, November 16-19, 2015, in Austin, Texas.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151113/287204LOGO

According to Marty Deneroff, COO of Emu, "Today's computer architectures are basically the same as they were 50 years ago; no one could have predicted then the vast data sets organizations would employ today - it no longer makes sense to move mountains of data in and out of the CPUs. At Emu we dared to conceive a computer that addresses this challenge from the ground up."

The exponential growth of data, especially unstructured data, will continue to greatly outpace advances predicted by Moore's law.  Applications with large graphs or very sparse matrices, where data locality cannot be assumed, are particularly problematic. Using its new paradigm, Migratory Memory-side Processing, Emu is able to 'bring the man to the mountain [of data]' avoiding the bandwidth and latency limitations that bring today's HPC systems to their knees.

Using Emu's revolutionary approach, organizations are seeking untapped competitive advantages in extracting knowledge from diverse, unstructured data sets. Problems not solved well by today's supercomputers are effectively addressed, including social media, fraud detection, genomics, oil exploration, optimization, climate modeling, and critical matters of national security.

Flavio Villanustre, VP of Technology at LexisNexis Risk Solutions, states that "Scored search enables analysts to slice and dice data and build regression models on the fly, making real-time analytics real.  CPU cache coherency is paramount to performance and CPU registers are scarce, so streaming unnecessary data through the CPU pipeline should be avoided at all costs." The novel Emu approach addresses this problem very effectively. Thus the technology from Emu has the potential to make the intractable, tractable.

"Our first customers will be very special ones," asserted CEO Dr. Ken Jacobsen. "The first systems will be shipped to visionary leaders pushing the frontiers of data analytics."

Emu Technology is a manufacturer of leading edge computers that address the fundamental limitations of conventional HPC systems. Emu is headquartered in South Bend, Indiana.

Huawei Announces ES3000 V3 Card for High Performance Storage and a Supercomputing Customer at SC15

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Huawei introduced its latest high IO storage PCIe SSD product for high performance computing, the ES3000 V3 series card, at SC15. The ES3000 V3 is on display at the Huawei booth (#173) at SC15, along with other HPC solutions including the FusionServer Liquid Cooling System and the OceanStor 9000 Big Data Storage System. The ES3000 V3 will be available in the U.S. market and globally in Q1 2016.

Huawei also announced that the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) in Poland upgraded its HPC data center with a Huawei PetaFLOPS-class supercomputer.

The ES3000 V3 NVMe PCIe SSD series can improve storage IO performance to meet Big Data and virtualization needs, and is compatible with mainstream operation systems and virtual machine systems. Huawei ES3000 V3 PCIe SSD provides up to 3.2TB capacity, up to 3.2GB/s bandwidth and 800,000 IOPS performance, and is ideal for HPC customers in various industries, including finance, transportation, energy, and internet.

Application scenarios for the ES3000 series card include:

    --  High performance computing
    --  Online transaction processing
    --  Online analytical processing
    --  Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) cloud and virtualization
    --  Data catching and indexing
PSNC Challenge
PSNC is affiliated with the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry Polish Academy of Sciences, serves as a major research center in Poland, and appears on the Top 500 list of the most powerful computing systems in the world. PSNC sought to reach peak supercomputing performance with increased density, while simultaneously achieving dramatic improvements in energy efficiency and reducing OPEX.

Solution
In just three days, Huawei deployed a PetaFLOPS-class supercomputer based on the Huawei FusionServer E9000 converged infrastructure blade server chassis with over 1,000 FusionServer CH121 V3 computer nodes. The HPC solution was fully equipped with optimized direct liquid cooling systems, which allowed PSNC to deploy top end performance configuration in a dense blade form factor.

Customer Benefits
PSNC's new Huawei HPC system is capable of achieving theoretical peak performance of 1.37 PFLOPs, and averages efficiency of node at 0.901 TFLOPS. Additionally, the direct cooling system removes up to 80 percent of heat dissipation, thereby reducing cooling system energy costs by around 40 percent as compared to traditional air cooling designs. The energy efficiency should amount to millions of dollars in savings by enabling PSNC to deploy higher compute capacity within the same power, cooling and cost parameters.

Char-Broil Introduces First-Ever Wi-Fi Enabled Smokers, Adding Convenience and Ease to the Smoking Process

--Char-Broil app with SmartChef(TM) technology elevates the outdoor cooking experience, allowing consumers to monitor the smoking process from their smartphones anytime, anywhere--

COLUMBUS, Ga., Nov. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Char-Broil, one of the world's oldest and most respected outdoor cooking companies, made it easier than ever today for consumers to monitor and control the smoking process with the launch of the Simple Smoker ($299) and Digital Electric Smoker ($399) with the Char-Broil app and SmartChef(TM) technology. The first of their kind, these smokers sync to your smart device over Wi-Fi utilizing the Char-Broil app, which allows connected users more convenience and freedom than ever before. Users of all skill levels will have an outdoor cooking experience that is all about leveraging innovative technology to consistently create superior taste, perfect cooking techniques and enjoy an effortless smoking routine.

"Although smoked food is universally loved, the complexity and time commitment of the smoking process has always been a barrier," said Brendan Anderson, Vice President, Marketing and Product Management of Char-Broil. "The two new connected Char-Broil SmartChef(TM) smokers make it easier than ever to make perfectly cooked smoked meals without being time consuming. We want to inspire a new generation of smoker consumers who want to monitor their smoker, anytime and anywhere on their connected devices."

Adding to Char-Broil's portfolio of innovative products and features consumers can get real-time cooking info through the Char-Broil app and make adjustments as needed, including:

    --  Meat temperature
    --  Estimated cook time and done time
    --  Chamber temperature
When users are connected to their home network, they have the ability to control and adjust these settings at their fingertips. But - unlike other competing products - once users are out of their network range, they can continue to monitor the smoker from the Char-Broil app.

Signaled by an integrated meat probe, the app will send notifications at key cooking times, so users never need to worry about overcooking or continuously checking their meats. The app also provides a preprogrammed library of recipes for the amateur or adventurous cookers and is compatible with iOS and Android phones.

The Simple Smoker and Digital Electric Smoker can be used on patios, balconies, rooftop terraces and decks of all sizes. Their performance features include:

    --  Integrated meat temperature probe: The probe senses the internal meat
        temperature throughout the cooking cycle and sends the info to the
        Char-Broil app. When the target internal meat temp is reached, the app
        sends a notification indicating that the food is done cooking and
        automatically drops the smoker temp to a warming temp until you are
        ready to eat.
    --  Standard 120V power: The smokers operate off a standard 120V electrical
        outlet, making temperature control easy to maintain and giving cooks the
        freedom to move away from their smokers for long periods.
    --  The Digital Electric Smoker: The bigger of the SmartChef(TM) Smokers has
        a large four-cup capacity wood chip box that will smoke up to 6.5 hours
        at 225 degrees, which is about eight times longer than competing
        electric smokers.
    --  The Simple Smoker: Features an intuitive and easy-to-use design with the
        versatility to smoke at low temperatures or roast with high heat.
Both are perfectly suited for holiday meals and everyday use. The Digital Electric Smoker gives users long lasting smoke and more capacity allowing for large meal preparations, while the Simple Smoker offers convenience and versatility, allowing users to slowly smoke a brisket at a low temperature or safely fry a turkey to perfection without oil.

The Simple Smoker and Digital Electric Smoker are available for purchase on the Char-Broil website and Amazon.

Based in Columbus, GA, Char-Broil, LLC (http://www.charbroil.com) is one of the world's oldest and most respected outdoor cooking companies.

A Perfect Gift for Gym-Goers: MOTi, a High-Tech Smart Tracker for a Fitter You

XINCHU, Taiwan, Nov. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Many experts agree that the best way to achieve a fitness goal is to track your daily activities and measure your performance. As a result, an activity tracker is an ideal solution for any fitness goal you might have, including losing weight, staying fit, or even training for a triathlon. In many ways, an activity tracker can serve as a personal trainer that you carry around with you wherever you go.

A personal activity tracker can also eliminate the guesswork from your workouts. In short, it ensures that you are able to focus on getting in shape and enjoying better health by tracking your steps, your calories burned, and your heart rate.

These days, there are many activity and fitness trackers available in the market, and choosing the right one can be difficult. Fortunately, J-MEX, a leading motion-sensing, tracking, and monitoring provider, has recently launched the MOTi Gym Wearable, which offers a great combination of features and performance benefits. For only US$95, the MOTi delivers an accurate, comfortable, and full-featured tracker, along with a standout app.

By incorporating 6-axis MEMS motion sensors that feature an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a patented algorithmic solution, the MOTi is designed to track motion in three-dimensional space. It can also recognize and record fitness movements, count the number of repetitions completed, and measure the achievement of various fitness goals. All of this advanced technology gives the MOTi the ability to automatically distinguish between more than 18 types of workout motions. This feature makes it easy for users to monitor their progress at a glance, without being distracted from their workout sessions. In addition, by using the app on their phones during a break or after a workout, users can review in detail any changes in their workout movements, the number of repetitions or cycles completed, or any loads, training periods, or rest times.

The MOTi can be worn on the wrist, arm, or ankle, and it offers different workout programs that are tailored to different fitness levels. For example, by switching on the Own Program, the MOTi can assist a user in strengthening specific muscle groups or assist in a user's muscle integration training. The MOTi also provides a wide range of trainer profiles in order to meet each user's desired workout intensity level. In addition, the MOTi's Muscle Map displays the results of a workout, along with the user's muscle status, after each training session. Because of this, users can more easily follow their training plans and reach their target muscle-development and fitness goals. And by turning on the Coach mode, users are able to train specific body parts safely and effectively, via training formulas from professional fitness coaches. This feature also provides accurate workout illustrations so users can confirm the accuracy of their movements, improve their efficiency, and avoid unnecessary injuries, due to incorrect movements.

Current research has proven that simply keeping track of what we do can significantly improve our health. In fact, self-tracking can actually allow people to develop healthier and better exercise habits, simply by letting them know where they need to improve as well as if they are actually improving, in real time. The MOTi has been tested by gym-goers and professional athletes alike, and it has been widely praised for being both easy to use and motivational, since it delivers visual feedback about a user's workouts. Simply put, the MOTi is one activity tracker that everyone can be happy with. For more detailed information, please visit: http://www.moti-wearable.com

LIVALL Expands World's First Smart, Safe Cycling Helmet Line on Kickstarter

Super Early-bird perk package buyers will receive new helmet and remote in time for Christmas

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- LIVALL, the company spreading the joy of smart riding, today announced it is launching a lighter version of its smart, safe cycling helmet (BH-60) in new colors designed for urban riders, and has expanded availability of its original Bling Helmet(TM) and smart-bike accessories through a new Kickstarter campaign launching today. First announced on Indiegogo, LIVALL's Bling Helmet (BH-100), ideal for off-road cyclists who ride in low-light conditions with additional LED lights on top, and its new line of smart-bike gear was an instant August sensation with funding of $244,000. It reached nearly 12X its original campaign goal.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151113/287077

Designed by cyclists for cyclists, LIVALL's smart, safe cycling helmets and smart-bike accessories provide cyclists with a safer, more joyful experience. The helmets integrate communications, music and smart lighting. They're part of a full smart-riding gear system that includes a Bling Jet(TM) remote control, a phone mount and charger, and a Nano Cadence Sensor. LIVALL uses Smart Bluetooth 4.0 to integrate with most smart devices and connect to the LIVALL Riding mobile app, which is free on Google Play and the App Store. Both Bling helmets and full accessories can be purchased on Kickstarter for a limited time in different perks package pricing while supplies last.

Super Early-bird shoppers on Kickstarter will be able to purchase the Bling Helmet (BH-60) and the Bling Jet remote control for just $69, a 57 percent discount from the full M.S.R.P. of $159. Photos, a video and more information on LIVALL's products and various perks packages are now live on the Kickstarter campaign.

LIVALL's new Bling Helmet (BH-60), designed for urban bikers, is lightweight at about eleven ounces but designed to limit the impact of accidental falls. Customers can choose from three stylish colors: Polar Night (black), Ivory White and Sky Blue. Both LIVALL Bling Helmets will send SOS alerts to emergency contacts when a built-in 3-axis G-sensor senses an external strike caused by an accident or fall via the LIVALL Riding mobile app. To help prevent accidents, there's a built-in horn and LED tail lights on the back of the helmets that warn drivers, pedestrians and cyclists which way users plan to turn using a single finger press of the Bling Jet handlebar-mounted remote control.

Through an integrated design that limits distractions, cyclists can use the built-in Hi-Fi Bluetooth stereo speakers and windbreak microphone to make or answer phone calls without the deafening background noise. Texts sent through the LIVALL Riding app are automatically converted to voice messages for users in "riding mode." Using the Bling Jet remote control, cyclists can enjoy music while riding by selecting, starting or pausing songs, and controlling volume through the helmet's speakers. Cyclists have an option to use a walkie-talkie feature for close-range communications from helmet to helmet. They can choose to capture images using the LIVALL Riding app while their bike is in motion, or when pulled over for a pit stop.

The full Livall smart-riding system includes the LIVALL Nano Cadence Sensor, the world's smallest single-unit cadence sensor, and a phone holder and charger. The LIVALL Nano Cadence Sensor easily plugs into a bike's crankset. It integrates with the LIVALL Riding app to infer cadence, speed and calories burned, along with data such as slope rate, altitude and heart rate. The phone holder features an x-grip mechanism that makes it easy to remove with ability to re-adjust your phone within a 200-degree range. It includes a built-in battery pack, a Micro USB port, and power indicator on the side.

"Our mission at LIVALL is to ensure the safety and health of cyclists through our smart-biking gear and LIVALL Riding mobile app, and to deliver an enjoyable experience they want to share with others. We want to spread the joy of smart cycling around the world," says Brian Bo, LIVALL founder and CEO.
