Sleep Cycle 5.0 Eliminates the Need for Devices Placed in Bed

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, November 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    - Best selling iOS App - Sleep Cycle alarm clock launches new patented sound analysis
technology -

    Announced today, Sleep Cycle debuts as freemium and eliminates the need for devices
placed in bed with the launch of Sleep Cycle 5.0 - powered by a new, patented,
state-of-the-art sound analysis technology.

    Diligently tested and perfected by Northcube developers for over two years, Sleep
Cycle alarm clock 5.0 uses the phone's microphone and a new highly intelligent algorithm
to analyze sound and identify movement from its user in bed. The upgraded version's
patented sound analysis technology sets it apart from competitors that rely on the phone's
accelerometer to track movement in bed and eliminates the need for sleep tracking devices
placed in bed.

    "We wanted to find a way to make sleep tracking available for everyone and waking up
easy even easier, without compromising on quality," said Maciek Drejak - Founder of Sleep
Cycle alarm clock and CEO of Northcube, the developer studio behind the world's top paid
Health & Fitness app.

    "Sleep Cycle is still the same app, with all the features that our users love. The
only difference is now it's available as freemium and users can choose to place the phone
on their nightstand or on the floor instead of in their bed, while remaining confident
Sleep Cycle will accurately track their sleep and wake them up at the optimal time in the
morning."

    A new sleep 'Trends' tab features sleep trends overview, in-depth sleep history,
easier social sharing, and world sleep statistics, connecting users to the world of sleep.
Sleep Cycle 5.0 has been optimized for users sharing beds with a partner. The two
activated devices communicate automatically through Wi-Fi and determine which user the
sound is coming from.

    No sound is downloaded externally or stored on the device. Once the sound has been
analyzed by Sleep Cycle in real-time and added to the sleep analysis, the sound is
instantly discarded.

Ultratech's new 4G+ system builds on the field leadership of the Superfast 4G, providing the industry's highest-productivity and lowest-cost solution for high-volume manufacturing. The Superfast 4G+ system's patented coherent gradient sensing (CGS) technology enables Ultratech customers to use a single type of wafer inspection tool to measure patterned wafers across the entire fab line at the lowest cost. Ultratech plans to begin shipping the Superfast 4G+ systems in the first quarter of 2016.

The Superfast 4G+ leads the industry with features including:

    --  Direct, front-side 3D topography measurement for opaque and transparent
        stacks patterned wafers
    --  150 wph, the highest industry 3D in-line inspection throughput with the
        smallest footprint
    --  1-mm edge exclusion enabling full-wafer pattern inspection and thin-film
        3D process control
    --  Large bow option for in-line manufacturing control of highly bowed
        wafers without impacting throughput
Damon Tsai, Ultratech Asia Director for Inspection Systems, said, "Our current leadership position in in-line 3D inspection at advanced memory and foundry manufacturers with Superfast 4G has provided us with a tremendous learning environment. Our partners have helped us develop new hardware capabilities like the 'Recipe Driven Range Control,' an innovative high-throughput, large bow optical option on board the Superfast 4G+, as well as new fleet management performance metrics. The inherently simple design of the CGS technology is enabling us to rapidly deliver new capabilities and performance improvements over more complex optical solutions."

Ultratech's Superfast 4G+ Inspection System
Based on patented CGS technology, Ultratech's Superfast 4G+ inspection system provides the industry's highest throughput (150 wph) with the lowest cost-of-ownership compared to competing systems. The direct, front-side 3D topography measurement capability is well-suited for patterned wafer applications such as lithography feed-forward overlay distortion and edge-defocus control as well as thin-film deposition stress and planarization control. Delivering a 2X improvement in performance with fleet matching TMU (Total Measurement Uncertainty), along with the ability to measure opaque and transparent stacks on patterned wafers, the Superfast 4G+  provides cost-effective technology to address the critical needs of its global customers.

Chain has made great contributions to strengthen the communication and channeling of personnel and resources between China and the U.S. Now it has 9,000 registeredmembers and has been holding regular entrepreneur-related activities, exhibitions and summits which have helped Chinese and American companies expand their influences and understand overseas markets.

APUS' Mobile Internet incubator will therefore set up an Innovation & Internet Link and an Innovation & Commercialization Link to build an efficient and effective enterprise ecosystem to expose entrepreneurs to the global resources of techniques and markets. According to the current plan, Smart SV will hold enterprise activities so that Chinese start-ups will have access to VC funds, grasp this historic opportunity, accumulate strength and develop rapidly.

Eye-Interaction Pioneer Eyefluence Announces Company Launch, Series B Funding

First Vision-Driven Interface for Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality Will Power Next-Generation Smart Glasses

MILPITAS, Calif., Nov. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Eyefluence today announced the development of the first eye-interaction technology platform for augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) devices, as well as $14 million in Series B funding led by Motorola Solutions Venture Capital. 

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

Eyefluence's technology is the first to go beyond traditional eye-tracking, harnessing natural eye movement and intent, enabling users to do anything they can do with fingers on a smartphone or tablet with their eyes on smart glasses, but faster and easier -- with no waiting, no winking, but just by looking.

"Smart glasses are expanding human performance by changing the way people interact with technology, communicate with others and engage with the world around them," said Jim Marggraff, CEO and founder of Eyefluence. "By combining biology and technology with a deep understanding of the eye-brain connection, Eyefluence enables a radically new form of human-computer interaction that is natural and intuitive and will allow consumers and enterprises to realize the full potential of head mounted display (HMD) technology."

Currently, dozens of companies are racing into the smart glass and broader HMD market, and they all face the same barrier: clumsy user interfaces. Today's tap, swipe, nod, point and talk methods for controlling first-generation smart glasses are unnatural for most applications.

Eyefluence is partnering with product development teams within consumer electronics companies, mobile 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.

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 how people interact with technology. Motorola Solutions is working with Eyefluence on integrating eye-interaction into its innovative "smart public safety" applications.

"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 sunglasses, leaving their heads up and their hands free to manage the scene and take quick action. Eyefluence is part of Motorola Solutions' increasing investment in smart public safety solutions that power safer cities through innovative technologies."

Because Eyefluence technology integrates into partners' smart glass designs, operates in varying lighting conditions, requires minimal battery and processing power, and continuously validates users' identities through iris identification, it has broad applications. Beyond public safety, eye-interaction has the potential to accelerate the adoption of VR, AR and MR devices in the healthcare, oil and gas, financial services, entertainment, assistive technology, defense industries and more.

Eyefluence is currently engaged in development with leading Fortune 500 companies as well as emerging companies and device manufacturers.

The company's Series B round also included investments from Jazz Venture Partners, NHN Investment, and Dolby Family Ventures, as well as other strategic and private investors and follow-on investments from Series A investors. In 2013, Intel Capital led a Series A round as a strategic investor, furthering Intel's ongoing focus on investing in pioneers in the wearable technology sector.

Toshiba Introduces New High Accuracy Optical Analog Isolation Amplifiers

Achieve High Accuracy Through Delta-Sigma Analog to Digital Converter

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs, today announced the launch of two new optical coupled isolation amplifiers with a delta-sigma AD converter. The new TLP7820 and TLP7920 can detect small electric current and voltage fluctuations with high-precision, and are suitable for use in industrial equipment applications, including inverters, servo amplifiers, robots and power supplies.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151110/286022

Factory automation equipment operates with a high degree of precision, requiring feedback to the microcontroller to be extremely accurate when it comes to the status of the phase current of the motor or the variation of the bus voltage. To meet these requirements, Toshiba has equipped the new photocouplers with a delta-sigma analog to digital converter at the input side, which enables the industry's highest level of linearity([1]) (0.02 percent (typ.)@NL(200) for analog output products and 3LSB(typ.)@INL for digital output products).

The isolation amplifiers also secure a CMTI (Common-Mode Transient Immunity) value of 20kV/ s (typ.), enabling stable operation in electrically noisy environments making them suitable for motor control applications. Isolation is through an optical barrier with an isolation voltage of 5000Vrms (min.). Operating temperature range is -40 to +105 degrees C.

A choice of two package types is available: TLP7920/TLP7930 is supplied in an industry standard DIP8 package, and TLP7820/TLP7830 comes in a new, more compact SO8L package, which takes up 30 percent less board space and has a 40 percent lower profile.

DC-area Internet Entrepreneur Launches ServingVETS, an Exclusive and Secure Social Network for Veterans

SILVER SPRING, Md., Nov. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Entrepreneur Jonathon Lunardi wants to help veterans enjoy a stronger sense of belonging on campuses and within their larger communities. That's why he chose Veterans Day (11/11) to introduce ServingVETS (http://www.servingvets.com), a new social media platform through which veterans can find and review local resources such as businesses and schools. Apple mobile device users can download the ServingVETS app from iTunes.

"Veterans trust each other's opinions and need a central location to record them," said Lunardi. "The goal of ServingVETS is to help universities and businesses improve their veteran-oriented services, while also giving veterans the knowledge to make informed choices about their time and money. We've assembled a great team of experienced professionals and advisors to bring this vision to life."

To sustain the growth of ServingVETS, an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign is now underway. The crowdfunding effort will be pivotal in taking ServingVETS to the next level. The campaign's goal is to raise $100,000. Funds raised will primarily go toward developing and deploying version 2.0 of the platform, coupled with an expansion to Android devices, Windows 10 apps and Amazon apps. Moreover, a successful campaign effort will empower broader marketing and promotions and support the hiring of more staff.  ServingVETS is committed to hiring Veterans and Military spouses as the company grows.

Just $19 earns the contributor a "Virtual Veteran Memorial" perk - a way to give thanks and forever memorialize a veteran from any era on the ServingVETS platform. Other perks include VIP lifetime memberships, swag bags and crowdfunding training from Jonathon Lunardi, whose entrepreneurial track record includes the successful launch of 13 startup businesses.

ServingVETS is working on partnerships with several organizations, including the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), the University of Oklahoma (OU) and the International Culinary Center. Education institutions receive a white label version of the platform, in addition to advertising space that will create a steady revenue stream for each participating school. Half of all ad revenue will be kicked back to surrounding schools to support veteran-focused student departments, clubs and scholarships.

"The revenue sharing program benefits our student organization tremendously and used to pay for events, t-shirts, family programs, and local veteran outreach." - Justin Cook, President of OU Student Veterans of America Club

"We see this as not only a potential great service for UNLV Veterans, but also an opportunity to help mold this platform into something useful for education institutions serving Vets everywhere." - UNLV Office of Veteran Services

ServingVETS encourages both for-profit and not-for-profit institutions to consider a partnership with ServingVETS as a means to demonstrate support for and give back to those who have served in the name of freedom.

About ServingVETS

ServingVETS is an exclusive veteran-only network enabling verified veterans to easily rate and review their local community to benefit other vets.  ServingVETS enables schools and businesses to monitor their online Veteran reviews and this input drives smart business decisions to specifically impact Veteran customers.

Meet Royole-X, The World's First Foldable Smart Mobile Theatre

FREMONT, Calif., Nov. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Royole Corporation recently launched its new wearable product Royole-X, the first foldable smart mobile theatre device of its kind. With the highest pixel density displays, stunning noise-cancelling headphones, novel operating system Royole-X OS and a unique foldable product design, Royole-X presents unprecedented theatrical experience that follows you everywhere, whether you are in a college dorm, at home, or on a flight. Particularly, the integrated video-audio design offers a brand new fashion to the wearable industry.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151110/285667

"From the very beginning, the goal for Royole-X is to address the mismatch between high-resolution large-screen, mind-blowing visual/sound effects and portability, which is one of the key issues for wearable display products," says the Founder and CEO of Royole Corporation, Dr. Bill Liu, a Stanford and IBM alumnus. At Royole, the team has worked on the device in stealth mode for nearly two years, combining a number of groundbreaking technologies with a unique industrial design to enable the long-time video watching, game playing and wearable PC experience.

"It is completely different from any virtual reality headsets," Bill mentioned. "We want users to wear Royole-X for a long time, typically more than two hours, either watching movies, playing video games, or working on the wearable PC without any discomfort." The device was designed to serve as a foldable and portable ultra-high pixel density audio/video station. With its capability, the applications of Royole-X can be very diverse.

The smart mobile theatre is nothing short of novel technologies. Royole-X adopts a leading-edge display technology to enable the world's highest pixel density display of 3300 PPI (pixels per inch), which is around 10X higher than current leading-edge smartphone displays. The Active-Matrix Organic Light Emitting Display (AMOLED) inside offers a high contrast ratio greater than 10000:1, wide color gamut, microsecond level response speed and 24-bit RGB color mode. The AMOLED display comes along with detailed optical and human factor design to create a truly eye-pleasing mobile theatre.

The extraordinary display is paired with an impressive audio performance. Royole-X's active noise control technology can achieve a noise reduction rating of up to 22dB, an industry-leading level. The sound system and circuitry enables near-perfect audio fidelity with less than 1% sound distortion.

The foldable design, pioneered by Royole, reached its current form after a number of iterations. The unique form factor allows the weight of the headset to be distributed more evenly away from the user's nose, typically a very sensitive area. Meanwhile, the headphone and display can be folded and become one-piece when the device is not in use, providing ultimate portability and fashion.

On the software side, Royole-X uses its own new operating system, Royole-X OS. It is the first operating system ever created for mobile theatre application. Users can take control of the world they are in with an intuitive touch wheel control on the right ear cup. The hardware supports five video input connections, including HDMI, wireless streaming, Wi-Fi sharing, USB On-The-Go, and an internal storage.

Royole-X is already in production and on sale in China since mid-September. It was also launched in the US this week through the crowd funding platform, indiegogo.com.

UBTECH Robotics Launches Alpha 2, the First Humanoid Robot for the Family

Industry's most nimble, intelligent and friendly humanoid robot to debut November 11

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Groundbreaking humanoid robotics startup UBTECH Robotics today announced the launch of its new Alpha 2 humanoid robot, the first ever designed for practical household service and companionship.

With Smartphone's ubiquitous and intelligent, interactive apps and features becoming an integral part of our lives, the need for increasingly human-like, responsive technology is growing. But applying intelligence from the Smartphone world to the world of humanoid robots has been a challenge, with previous robotic solutions neither user-friendly nor flexible enough for household use.

UBTECH Robotics' technology changes that. The Alpha 2 extends the reliable and intelligent technology we depend on every day to a programmable humanoid device with a smart brain and nimble body. The company's unique servo technology enables an unprecedented level of flexibility and efficient movement. The Alpha 2's 20 servo motors bend the robot's joints and provide exceptional dexterity.

The first humanoid robot designed for the family is the brainchild of UBTECH CEO James Chow, who has devoted his career to breaking down barriers to fluid, friendly robotic functionality.

"We are looking forward to launching the Alpha 2 and fulfilling our dream of enabling every family to have its own intelligent robot," says Chow. "We hope our crowdfunding effort will drive both excitement and support for this new technology."

Extending the UBTECH family of commercial, DIY and household robot products, the Alpha 2 is designed as a functional, interactive family robot capable of accomplishing a wide range of typical household tasks, such as:

    --  Managing weekly calendars and provide verbal reminders for scheduled
        tasks
    --  Free talk and following verbal instructions
    --  Taking high quality photographs and posting to social media
    --  Performing home security monitoring and alerts
    --  Entertaining children, guests and even pets
    --  Reporting the weather, searching the web, downloading applications
The Alpha 2 provides cloud services and leverages intelligent voice & perceptual systems to receive commands and execute corresponding behaviors. The robot is capable of simultaneous interpretation, voice search, visual interaction and providing verbal reminders.

The robot also enables sensor-based interaction; insert with acceleration sensor, ultrasonic, touch and pressure sensors; and a built-in camera backed by robot visual computing systems. The robot's accompanying both iOS and Android systems that provide everyday remote communication and control.

By designing the Alpha 2 with an open application platform and support for VAPP application development, the company hopes to encourage ongoing innovation by the developer community. Involvement by programmers and enthusiasts will help the Alpha 2 rapidly reach its full potential and meet a growing array of needs.

To encourage feedback and interest in the Alpha 2 from both consumers and developers, UBTECH is unveiling the robot through the crowdsource platform Indiegogo at less than $500 for early birds, a fraction of its retail price point. The Indiegogo campaign will launch on November 11.  To visit please go to http://igg.me/at/alpha2

"Part of our goal with this public crowdfund is to attract a community of developers who will take Alpha 2's capabilities to the next level," adds Chow. "Offering development kits and DIY products are an important part of our technology vision, because we want to fuel the robotics revolution and technical innovation both inside and outside our walls."

"I couldn't stand the cluttered look of the tangled charging cables on my wife's night stand. I grabbed a paper and created a few sketches, then a few more. This was the beginning of what would eventually become the design for the Dome. I wanted a product that looks great with and without your devices and makes it extremely easy to connect and disconnect your phone or watch even one handed and in the dark,"  said Alfred Barabas, Founder of Defined Corp.

The product is precision machined using CNC technology out of a solid piece of aluminum alloy. At its core resides the Apple inductive charger and the Apple Lightning cable. Excess cable is wrapped around the base, thereby minimizing clutter.

Featuring an adjustable Lightning Cable mount to assure the dock works even with bulky iPhone cases.  All of this is seamlessly integrated, and complemented with finishes that pair perfectly with the Apple devices.  Dome will be available in Black, Space Gray, and Silver finishes for $99 MSRP while versions with a premium finish of Gold and Rose Gold color will sell for $129 MSRP. It can be purchased on their Kickstarter campaign page.

"We also wanted to create something extraordinary for those who are looking for a truly unique Dome. We commissioned Cindy Pankopf, a featured jewelry designer, to create the Dome Crystal; a limited edition Gold color version with individually hand-seated Swarovski crystals," said Alfred Barabas. It will be offered in limited quantities for $5000.

Currently available for pre-order, the Defined Corporation team delivers a unique charging dock for Apple Watch and iPhone owners that is created to complement the design style of the Apple Watch and Apple iPhone in a beautiful, elegant and functional way.

Create a Messenger App for Your Friends or Coworkers Only

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, November 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Mobile communication has developed rapidly in the past few years and apps such as
Whatsapp and Viber have become the main source of communication for many mobile device
users. The mainstream messenger styled apps suit the need for daily communication, however,
there was a cry for an app that could be developed and used for niche groups such as a
personal social circle, or an internal employee communication tool. The desire for
personal Android communication packages led to the development of the AppsGeyser messenger
app [http://www.appsgeyser.com/create-messenger-app ] template.

    Appsgeyser has devised a messenger template for Android devices. The template is the
easiest way to create an app [http://www.appsgeyser.com ] from scratch, customized to suit
your needs, without having to have technical abilities. The AppsGeyser messenger app
template is an instant messenger service that enables you to send messages, photos, videos
and files from your device to your contacts.

    Distributing and using the app could not be any easier. AppsGeyser gives you free use
of your APK which can be distributed via online Android stores, or by scanning the barcode
provided directly onto the device. The messenger app can be used with up to 200 contacts,
each can be added via their telephone numbers, or by adding existing contacts by swiping
their name in the app menu and clicking on Invite Friends.

    The AppsGeyser messenger app [http://www.appsgeyser.com/create-messenger-app ]
template is cloud based and can therefore be added to any of your mobile devices whilst
keeping your messages in sync. The ability to share files, videos and photos, as well as
voice recorded messages has increased the popularity of this app amongst social messenger
app users and business users alike.

    In addition to the ease of use, the messenger template also combines a range of
customization features which can be added on the individual level by each of the app
users. Features of this template include sticker support, @nickname support, customized
design and hashtag support. For more information on the messenger app, please contact a
member of the team, or click through to the AppsGeyser website to create your very own
messenger app [http://www.appsgeyser.com/create-messenger-app ].

Pocket-sized Expandable Speaker That Gets the Party Started Anywhere, Anytime Launches Indiegogo Campaign

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- 7x24 Technologies, Inc. today introduced the world's best pocket-sized Bluetooth speaker, combining incredibly powerful and high quality sound with an integrated, music-synced light show. Created by a DJ and engineer team, the Pocket Party brings the energy and fun of the club experience to anyone on the go. Coaster-sized, the speaker boasts the power and sound fidelity that has only been previously available in a speaker three to five times its size. The Indiegogo (#indiegogo) campaign, which has a funding goal of $15,000 USD, features limited Early Bird specials of $24.99 USD (for one Pocket Party Speaker), a 50% savings off the retail price of $49.99 USD, as well as other rewards.

Pocket Party is built with cutting-edge X-Bass(TM) technology that features an expandable chamber to amplify the sound and uses its vibration mode to turn any hollow surface (such as a pizza box) into a subwoofer for deep bass that defies the speaker's size. The speaker's expandable chamber also allows the listener to customize the mid and low sounds to a person's ideal listening experience depending on how much they expand.

"Whether at the beach, sitting at the pool, tailgating before the game, working at your desk or simply on the go, the Pocket Party is the most powerful, compact speaker available," said, Michael Zhang, creator of the Pocket Party. "Small enough to fit in your pocket, but with booming sound and vibrant lights that can fill up any location, the Pocket Party is the ultimate, portable party speaker."

At the touch of a button, the Pocket Party turns into a colorful light show that intelligently synchronizes with the music being played via four preset modes: "beats," "party," "mood light" and "lamp" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnxn5q-NWtw&feature=youtu.be). The light show can be controlled directly on the Pocket Party or through the speaker's mobile and web app. In addition, the user can sequence different patterns via the app to create a one-of-a-kind light show.

Pocket Party provides the ultimate in versatility. Its included suction cup, karabiner and bike-mount strap allow owners to take their music with them anywhere hands-free or use the speaker as a tablet stand. The speaker's IPX4 splash-proof certification allows for the speaker to be placed pool-side, used as a shower speaker or at the beach.

Acal BFi Introduce the World's Lowest Noise Vibration Sensors to the European Market

WOKINGHAM, England, November 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Acal BFi
[http://www.acalbfi.com/uk/?utm_source=pr&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=ColibrysVS1000_nov15 ]
, the European leader in advanced technology solutions, are pleased to introduce the new
VS1000 series vibration sensors from Safran Colibrys
[http://www.acalbfi.com/uk/search/COL?utm_source=pr&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=ColibrysVS1000_nov15 ]
to the European market.

    VS1000 series sensors
[http://www.acalbfi.com/uk/Sensors/Vibration/c/CAT-14-17?q=vs1&search=true?utm_source=pr&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=ColibrysVS1000_nov15 ]
set a new reference in DC- to
medium-frequency vibration sensing, offering the best combined bias-stability, repetitive
high-shock resistance, linearity and noise performance (7microg/square rootHz in band with
the 2G range) on the market. An embedded self-test feature also ensures that the device
remains functional at all times, and a hermetically-sealed ceramic package ensures
robustness and durability.

    Offering a large and flat frequency response from DC to Hz to 1500Hz (plus or minus5%,
min), the series is built around an optimised MEMS (micro-electromechanical system) sensor,
an improved die attach, a new ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) with a
powerful 200,000 Hz internal clock and a temperature sensor.

    The new ASIC-optimised architecture provides bias and scale factor temperature
stabilities of plus or minus0.2 mg/degree(s)C (min/max) and 120 ppm/degree(s)C
(typical). It also features overload and aftershock recovery detection. The non-linearity
becomes almost nonexistent with 0.1% of the full scale output (typical) under vibrations.

    The sensors are available with a wide range of dynamics from plus or minus2 to plus or
minus200g, making them suitable for a wide range of applications such as active suspension
systems in railway locomotives, structural health testing and MEMS inertial navigation
systems.

    Martin Kemp, European Business Development Director - Sensors at Acal BFi said: "We
are delighted to introduce the VS1000 series to the European market. The addition of these
high performance, high shock resistance vibration sensors adds to our existing sensor
portfolio
[file:///C:/Users/Sarah.Naxton/Downloads/%3Fq=vs1&search=true%3Futm_source=pr&utm_medium=p
r&utm_campaign=ColibrysVS1000_nov15 ] and enhances our ability to provide our customers

New Generation TCO Certified Aims to Further Reduce Hazardous, Unknown Substances in Electronics

STOCKHOLM, November 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    TCO Development today launched the latest generation TCO Certified
[http://tcodevelopment.com/tco-certified/criteria-in-tco-certified/socially-responsible-manufacturing ]
sustainability certification for IT products. The revision includes new
criteria for reducing hazardous non-halogenated flame retardant
[http://tcodevelopment.com/news/a-new-approach-to-the-phase-out-of-hazardous-substances ]
substances and replacing them with safer alternatives. First to certify product include
displays from Eizo, Dell, Lenovo, LG and Samsung.

    "Today there are over 40 000 chemical substances on the market and the environmental
and human health effects of the vast majority are unknown," comments Niclas Rydell,
Certification Director at TCO Development. "Our goal with the new criteria is to provide
the electronics and chemical industries with an incentive to test the flame retardants
they use and provide information on their effects. We believe it's time for the IT
industry to take a greater responsibility in this area."

    As the most hazardous non-halogenated substances are phased out, they will be replaced
with less hazardous alternatives. This assessment will be carried out using the
GreenScreenTM for Safer Chemicals method [http://www.greenscreenchemicals.org ], developed
by US-based non-profit Clean Production Action. Substances assessed are assigned a
benchmark between 1-4, with 1 being the most hazardous. Substances receiving benchmark 2-4
are included on the "TCO Development Accepted Substances List"
[http://tcodevelopment.com/files/2015/09/2015-08-20-TCO_Certified_Accepted_Substance_List.pdf ]
and are accepted for use in certified products.

    Other important developments in the new generation TCO Certified
[http://tcodevelopment.com/new-generation-tco-certified/#criteria ] include

       
        - Banning of four phthalates identified as most hazardous; DEHP, BBP, DBP and DIBP.
        - Tighter criteria for socially responsible manufacturing, including code of conduct
          implementation and actions for preventing worker rights violations in the supply
          chain.
        - Requirement for each brand to have a policy addressing conflict minerals as well as
          active participation in at least one initiative aimed at combatting their use.

    IT products achieving TCO Certified are third party verified to meet criteria for
environmental and social responsibility throughout the product life cycle, including
manufacturing, use and end of life handling. Criteria are developed in collaboration with
a wide group of stakeholders including purchasers, independent experts and industry.

Cloudstreet Delivers a Personal Private Lane on the Mobile Internet

HELSINKI, Finland, November 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Cloudstreet, a Nokia spin-off company, launches solution for consumers and businesses
looking for a superior mobile internet experience  

    Cloudstreet, the Nokia spin-off specialized in dynamically improving the mobile
internet experience, is pleased to announce the availability of its bandwidth-on-demand
solution for mobile operators around the world.  

    Cloudstreet delivers prioritized mobile data connections for users by reserving
network bandwidth on-demand, while effectively balancing local capacity to ensure an
optimal internet experience for all. Without disrupting or diminishing service quality for
others, Cloudstreet solves the problem of delivering prioritized network performance while
ensuring compliance with the requirements of Net Neutrality.

    Used by all of Finland's major broadcasters including YLE TV1 & 2, MTV3 and Nelonen
for broadcasting live news and sporting events since 2013, Cloudstreet has provided
bandwidth-hungry users like television production crews the speed and capacity they need
to transmit HD/4K video over busy mobile networks.

    "We are thrilled at the opportunity to roll out Cloudstreet to customers across
Finland," said Mika Skarp, Founder and CTO of Cloudstreet. "It has been an exciting 2
years working with some of nation's most advanced technologists and teams to prove
Cloudstreet's ability to serve some of the most data-intensive applications, like
broadcast video. Now extending that to the homes and smart phones of our fellow Finns, we
are delighted at the opportunity to demonstrate to Finland and the world that bandwidth
on-demand is not only possible, but can be delivered dynamically for large numbers of
users in complete harmony with Net Neutrality".

    With the introduction of a new regulatory framework governing Net Neutrality, the
European Parliament has delivered a clear and future-friendly statement that protects
consumers while encouraging innovation. Directly addressing the primary requirements of
any bandwidth prioritization to treat all content equally and in no way diminish another
user's experience, the legislation clearly advances from earlier U.S. FCC & FTC positions.

    Cloudstreet directly addresses these requirements with a 100% EU compliant solution,
enabling net neutral bandwidth-on-demand for consumer and business applications like HD
video and the Internet of Things (IoT).

    Public launch of Cloudstreet services in Finland 

    Sonera corporate customers in Finland will be the first to enjoy Cloudstreet's
prioritized data subscriptions, first optimized for video conferencing as of this writing,
November 11th, 2015.

    Cloudstreet will soon be launching an App for Android, iOS and Windows Mobile. By
downloading the app and subscribing to Cloudstreet, users will experience a superior
mobile internet experience that effectively provides them their own personal private lane
on the mobile internet.

    Cloudstreet also provides a solution to replace fixed DSL broadband connections for
homes and small businesses.

    About Cloudstreet 

    Founded in 2010, Cloudstreet is a cloud based service platform for telecom operators,
combining business and network layer technologies to provide context specific
bandwidth-on-demand, first developed at Nokia's Silicon Valley campus.

    Aligned with the principles of net-neutrality, Cloudstreet directly addresses the need
for operators to manage the delivery of customer-oriented, application-aware
quality-of-service within their networks, while ensuring an open and equal access
Internet.

    Cloudstreet is provisioned to users based on the dynamic details of an
application-specific profile to deliver highly personalized services dynamically, while
effectively balancing network traffic and data demand. From streaming HD Video to
data-intensive apps and the emerging Internet-of-Things, Cloudstreet bridges the gap
between the digital services we all use, need and enjoy and the network infrastructure
that serves them.
