Synology's First Router Earns CES 2016 Innovation Honoree Award

NAS Maker Debuts Router with Fast Speeds, Superior OS, Storage and Media Server in One!

BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) recognized Synology's first router - the RT1900ac - as a CES 2016 Innovation Award Honoree in the computer accessories category.  Synology creates network attached storage (NAS) and private cloud solutions that transform the way people share, manage, and backup data - at home and at work.

"Routers have basically been the same for 20 years, but Synology is changing that," said company President Alex Wang.  "We're extremely proud to be an Innovation Awards Honoree with our first entry into the market."

Synology Router RT1900ac Product Features
The new RT1900ac comes with fast performance speeds of up to 1.9Gbps and the most intuitive operating system in the industry - Synology Router Manager (SRM).  Typical routers have confusing interfaces, but SRM resembles a desktop - making it extremely easy to use.  Moreover, the router works as a private cloud and multimedia player that offers both computer and mobile access. Plug in a USB or SD card and get storage and printer functions - straight from the router! The RT1900ac also comes with free mobile and VPN apps for even more value.

The RT1900ac Gives Consumers Control Over Their Wireless Networks
With the RT1900ac, consumers have the ultimate control over their wireless networks and settings. Don't want your kids watching YouTube on their computers all day? Set limits so they only stream the site for two hours daily - without adding limits to your own PC. Using Application Layer Quality of Service (QoS), the Synology router lets users set bandwidth limits and website filters that control traffic - by device and individual applications.

Need to protect your children from adult content? With the RT1900ac, families can use parental controls that have a built-in DNS-based web-filter to block countless inappropriate websites, with a few simple clicks. Synology has created and will continue to update a DNS database that is comprised of thousands of inappropriate websites and grouped them by gambling, drugs, and adult content. Parents can use these preset filters to block entire groups of websites at one time, instead of manually entering them, individually. This makes the RT1900ac a huge time saver for households.

Wang added, "Some people might ask 'Why is a NAS company getting into routers?' At Synology, we're always pushing the limits of network technology. Our products work as a private cloud, file server, multimedia sever, and file backup - all in one.  Since the router connects the storage to the computer, we realized that with more control over the router, we could make even more advancements in NAS. The possibilities are endless."

Network attached storage uses wireless and wired Internet connections to access files from anywhere at any time. Synology leveraged this technology to create a wireless router with NAS capabilities.

Synology Router RT1900ac Technical Highlights

    --  The RT1900ac comes with:
    --  Simultaneous dual-band at 2.4GHz & 5GHz for up to 1900Mbps
    --  High-speed networking with IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ac support
    --  Fast, reliable Wi-Fi with Beamforming
    --  Application layer Quality of Service (QoS)
    --  Parental control with a built-in filter database
Product Availability and Price
The RT1900ac will be available in the United States in the first quarter of 2016. Suggested retail price is $149.99.*

Preview the Synology Router & 2016 NAS Products at a CES Press Conference
Synology will preview the router and other 2016 products at a CES press conference on:

Date:               Thursday, January 7

Time:               2 p.m.

Location:         Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC)

                        South Hall Connector, Room S227 - A

Synology will feature additional products from its entire product line (including business NAS) at the Synology CES Booth #30431 located at Upper South Hall.

About Synology Inc.
Founded in 2000, Synology offers an extensive line of NAS: from 2-bay desktop units (known as DiskStations) - to rackmounts (called RackStations) scaling up to 1.4PB.  The company carries products that are ideal for home, SMB, and SME.  Synology's private cloud solutions come with the intuitive DiskStation Manager operating system.

A Cute Robot That Dares to Fight: Self-balancing Robot "Gemini" Launches Kickstarter Campaign

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Gemini, a waterdrop-shaped, two-wheel, self-balancing robot with two distinct personalities, will accommodate consumers' leisure needs more than ever before. The Gemini Kickstarter campaign launches on November 10th, 2015.

After the wild success of Makeblock, an educational robot kit series targeting makers and educators, the Shenzhen-based hardware startup Shenzhen Maker Works Technology Co., Ltd expanded its reach and designed the user-friendly smart robot Gemini, which requires no programming knowledge or assembling efforts on users' behalf.

While standing, Gemini moves like a cute puppy, spreading joy via iridescent LED lights and flashing emoticons, and dancing to music at your command. When Gemini is equipped with a turret and crouches down, however, the robot transforms into a fearless warrior who is ready to combat.

The key to Gemini's accurate signaling and angular actions lies in the self-balancing technology. With one MPU-6050 3-Axis Accelerometer and Gyro working with STM32 MCU, through real-time analysis of related state parameters, Gemini can minimize the displacement both vertically and horizontally, in a timely manner, and control the angular offset with the utmost accuracy, remaining level with ease.

Additional Features

    --  Stable MovementThe waterdrop-shaped, two-wheel, streamlined structure,
        empowered by the dual encoder motors with high resolution, ensures
        Gemini's extraordinary agility and mobility.

    --  Innovative Control SystemsBased on the free iPad app, the robot can
        perform complex motions and tasks with tap-and-swipe finger movements,
        tilting techniques (gravity control), and voice control.

    --  Fluent Intercommunication Together, the 2.4G and Wi-Fi modules offer
        seamless and timely communication, instantly transmitting and updating
        all parties' data throughout the game.

    --  High-Sensitivity LED Blue LightInheriting the signature Makeblock blue
        LED lighting, Gemini improves the transmission efficiency and undermines
        unstable performance from the reflection of the sun, which is often
        encountered by IR light-enabled devices. Overall, Gemini offers users an
        enhanced interactive experience.
Starting at USD $99.00, the team provides different bundles for buyers. "Our mission is to make an 'Apple product' for consumer robot kits," says the founder and robot hobbyist Jasen Wang.

Hyundai Virtual Guide Introduces Augmented Reality To The Owner's Manual

-- First Mainstream Automaker to Launch 2D/3D Owner's Manual for Smartphones and Tablet Computers

-- Hyundai Virtual Guide Provides Convenient, Simple Ways to Become Familiar with Full Vehicle Capabilities

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Later this year, Hyundai will be the first mainstream automaker to launch an augmented reality owner's manual app. The Hyundai Virtual Guide app is the brand's modern take on the traditional owner's manual, allowing consumers to use their smartphone or tablet computer to get how-to information for repairs, maintenance and vehicle features.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7506058-hyundai-virtual-guide-app/

At launch, the Hyundai Virtual Guide is compatible with the 2015 Sonata model, and will soon become available for additional models. The new app recognizes more than 45 major features of the Sonata and is available for free download on the Apple App store and Google Play.

Hyundai used quality consumer survey results to determine the top difficult-to-use features to incorporate into the Virtual Guide. The app also contains 82 how-to videos, six 3D overlay images that appear once users scan areas of their vehicle like the engine bay and more than 50 informational guides.

"The Virtual Guide is aimed at educating our owners on how to use the functions and features of their vehicle," said Frank Ferrara, executive vice president, customer satisfaction, Hyundai Motor America. "We modernized the idea of an owner's manual to provide the highest-quality user experience for the growing population of tech savvy consumers."

The Hyundai Virtual Guide uses two- and three-dimensional tracking technology to deliver deep levels of information related to different parts of the car. Users simply position their phone or tablet's camera over the part they want to learn more about.

The Hyundai Virtual Guide can virtually identify and provide how-to information on the following features:

    --  Air filter
    --  Smart Cruise Control
    --  Bluetooth phone pairing
    --  Warning indicators
    --  Clock
    --  Engine oil
    --  Brake fluid
    --  Fuse box
    --  Smart trunk
Hyundai is a leader in reinventing the thick owner's manual sitting in every car's glove box. In 2010, Hyundai redefined the luxury-vehicle ownership experience with the launch of the Equus Owner's Manual App for iPad(®), iPhone and iPod touch. In 2014, the Hyundai Assurance Car Care mobile and in-vehicle app arrived as another convenient option for accessing car care services and vehicle information. The in-vehicle Car Care app put the owner's manual right inside the vehicle's touchscreen, giving customers the services and information they want the most, when and where they need them most: right inside the car.

HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA

Cadence Announces Verification IP for ARM AMBA 5 AHB5

Immediate availability of new simulation VIP speeds development of latest IoT designs

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov.10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), today announced verification IP (VIP) for the ARM(®) AMBA(®) 5 Advanced High-Performance Bus 5 (AHB5) specification. The announcement covers two new VIP titles in Cadence's portfolio including simulation VIP and assertion-based VIP. The simulation VIP, available now, supports all of the major logic simulators and enables verification engineers to perform in-depth verification with SystemVerilog-UVM testbenches. The assertion-based VIP, available in early 2016, supports the Cadence® JasperGold® formal verification platform, which enables design engineers to rapidly verify that their daily design changes are bug free.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140102/SF39436LOGO

The newly announced ARMv8-M architecture is focused on security, scalability and efficiency, which includes the ARM TrustZone(®) technology.

The TrustZone technology is targeted specifically for small real time embedded microcontroller and system-on-chip (SoC) designs, including security functionality for IoT applications. Designers can take full advantage of the TrustZone technology by implementing the AHB5 interface, which is the latest version of the specification.

The new AHB5 protocol extends this security foundation to the SoC system. The protocol provides an efficient mechanism to manage and control access to secure SoC resources, offering a way to help ensure that secure resources can only be accessed by trusted software. The Cadence VIP solution enables existing AHB customers to upgrade to the newest version of the specification and verify that their designs work with the new features and functionalities.

The availability of VIP is key to the rapid adoption of new interface standards, as every new standard challenges verification engineers to learn it well enough to be able to validate their SoC designs. The Cadence VIP solution for AMBA protocols includes simulation VIP, assertion-based VIP, accelerated VIP, interconnect VIP and interconnect performance analysis tools. To learn more about Cadence VIP products, visit http://www.cadence.com/news/VIPAHB5.

"Our close partnership with ARM has enabled us to add support for AHB5 to the Cadence VIP catalog," said Erik Panu, corporate vice president of the IP Group, Cadence. "This addition to the widely used VIP solution for AMBA interfaces will further help our customers to be first to market with innovative products."

"As ARM IP and technologies expand into IoT and other emerging applications, VIP is essential for rapid customer deployment," said Andy Nightingale, vice president of system IP marketing, systems and software group, ARM. "Cadence has been a trusted source for high-quality VIP for AMBA interfaces for more than 12 years and consistently delivers support for new interfaces such as AHB5."

The Siphon Coffee Brewer features vacuum technology that fully immerses the grounds in water to create a more complex flavor profile.

Constructed of premium glass with stainless steel accents, the brewer also includes a reusable stainless steel filter that is simple to clean and eliminates the waste created by disposable filters. A strong magnetic interlock system secures the top and bottom carafes together to ensure a tight seal for brewing, while a dual-purpose lid sits on top of the unit during brewing and then attaches to the carafe for pouring. The Siphon Coffee Brewer is available in Onyx Black, Silver and Slate at a suggested retail price of $249.99.

Spiralizer Attachment

Cooks looking to eat healthier or simply expand their recipe repertoire during the holidays can take advantage of the new KitchenAid® spiralizer attachment for the essential and iconic Stand Mixer.

Featuring five blades with up to nine combinations of spiralizing, slicing, peeling and coring, the attachment offers endless possibilities for fruit and vegetable preparation. As a healthy alternative to flour based pasta, a fine spiral blade turns vegetables, such as zucchini or squash, into thin, noodle-like strands. A medium blade spiralizes potatoes for casseroles and potato pancakes, or winter root vegetables for roasted rutabaga or butternut squash dishes. Separate slicing blades can be used for creating spirals of fresh fruits or vegetables with little to no cores, such as carrots, or those with larger cores, including apples and pears.

The spiralizer features durable metal construction and a storage case for convenient organization of both the unit and its dishwasher-safe accessories. The spiralizer attachment carries a suggested retail price of $129.99.

Since the introduction of its legendary stand mixer in 1919 and first dishwasher in 1949, KitchenAid has built on the legacy of these icons to create a complete line of products designed for cooks.  Today, the KitchenAid® brand offers virtually every essential for the well-equipped kitchen with a collection that includes everything from countertop appliances to cookware, ranges to refrigerators, and whisks to wine cellars.  Cook for the Cure®, the brand's partnership with Susan G. Komen®, is now in its 14(th) year and has raised over $10 million to help find a cure for breast cancer.  To learn why chefs choose KitchenAid for their homes more than any other brand*, visit KitchenAid.com or join us at Facebook.com/KitchenAid and Twitter.com/KitchenAidUSA.

    Dropbox-compatible backup and encryption 

    As one of few security suites to offer secure backup to safeguard files, BullGuard
provides 5GB of storage. It also includes convenient, encrypted backup to Dropbox accounts
via the software, offering peace of mind that important documents are securely stored.
Files and folders can be easily selected without having to move them to a specific folder,
with the process able to be run on demand or as a scheduled event. Unencrypted files are
viewable in Dropbox as normal files for added convenience from any device or browser, and
full synchronisation reflects changes made to files and folders in real time.

    Enhanced PC tune up 

    Internet Security provides a real boost to performance, making PC tune up and
optimisation even easier. New tools include duplicate file detection to identify and
delete unnecessary files to free up disk space. A Cleanup Helper actively recommends safe
file removal with single-click fast delete and provides category views for a far clearer
picture of the file system. Finally, a new Boot Manager gives an intuitive overview of the
applications that start automatically with the computer. Users can view both mandatory and
optional processes and applications to fine-tune startup with ease, significantly
improving boot speed and freeing up memory and processor usage for a faster and smoother
PC.

    Even stronger antivirus 

    As shown in recent tests, Internet Security's enhanced behavioural detection engine
now offers more protection than ever before. An improved safe browsing module reduces
impact on performance, a streamlined quarantine provides protection without user
intervention, and specific exploit detection includes malicious URLs and executable image
files. Users will also find improved detection of malware at Windows start-up to combat
rootkit attacks, and helps to protect against the rise of ransom ware that is affecting
increasing numbers of PCs.

    More flexible parental controls 

    BullGuard's powerful parental controls have been improved with enhanced reports and
notifications to help parents to ensure they are always one step ahead. The in-depth child
monitor now offers more detail on activity, parents can automatically view newly created
Windows profiles and are notified when time and application restrictions are applied.

    "The improvements we've made to Internet Security reflect our user's feedback and our
own observations about the demands of modern consumers" said Cam Le, Chief Marketing
Officer for BullGuard. "Our already powerful antivirus engine has been enhanced to
continue to deliver the very best protection against modern threats. We've also made
changes to make it easier than ever before to keep important files safe and with our value
added tools, keep a computer in great working order."

    BullGuard Internet Security will be available from November 10th priced at GBP49.95
with a three-user license, and is also available as a 60 day free trial. Software will be

Sonos Trueplay Brings Simple Speaker Tuning to Millions of Rooms Around the World

Free software update allows Sonos listeners to get great sound at home no matter where speakers are placed.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Nov. 10, 2015 /CNW/ -- Today, with a free software update called Trueplay(TM), millions of Sonos owners around the world will be able to precisely tune their speakers without the need for specialized equipment or complicated training. With reliable wireless strength and elegant aesthetics, Sonos speakers can now be placed anywhere in a house - from under a kitchen cabinet to the corner of a bathroom - and still sound great. Trueplay listeners will hear the full clarity and impact of their favorite music regardless of how challenging these locations are acoustically.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151106/284894

"The way I describe our approach as a home speaker company is like being a clear window from the studio to your home," said record producer, composer and Sonos sound experience leader Giles Martin."Trueplay brings music fans closer to all the emotion captured in the recording studio."

Trueplay makes it easy for anyone to improve the way music sounds in any room. Using the Sonos app, the microphone on an iPhone or iPad, and a special tone emitted by the Sonos speaker, the system analyzes the acoustic profile of any room to determine how sound reflects off walls, furnishings, glass and other surfaces that impact how sound is heard. Sonos then smartly tunes that speaker in 60 seconds or less so the music sounds it's very best. The sound profile of each speaker is changed only as much or as little as needed to sound right for the room. Whether Trueplay makes a big or small sonic adjustment, the listener always knows they are hearing the purest sound.

"Trueplay is a major step in Sonos' mission to bring music fans a great experience at home without compromises. And we believe a great experience is one that also stays current," said Sonos Chief Product Officer Marc Whitten. "The original PLAY:5 now features Trueplay, so a speaker that was released more than six years ago is going to have its best year yet,even as we've begun selling its successor."

In addition to both the original and new SONOS PLAY:5®, Trueplay is compatible with all SONOS PLAY:1® and SONOS PLAY:3® smart speakers, iOS devices, and will continue to be added to more of the Sonos lineup over time. To get started with Trueplay at home today, update to the latest software and open Rooms Settings in the Sonos iOS app.

WDLabs® Enables Internet Of Things For App And Device Developers

Companies Push the Edge and Transform Data Into Value

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- WDLabs(®), a business growth incubator of storage solutions leader Western Digital® Corporation (NASDAQ:WDC), is utilizing its WD® My Cloud® OS3 device in conjunction with the IBM® Internet of Things (IoT) Foundation and the ARM® mbed(TM) IoT Device Platform to provide developers a flexible platform to support advanced analytics and data application services.

At the ARM TechCon conference (booth #910) in Santa Clara, CA, WDLabs will be demonstrating a proof-of-concept on how the WD My Cloud OS 3 SDK provides an ideal platform for developing applications at the edge. In addition, IoT sensor data may be stored and analyzed when integrated with the ARM mbed IoT Device Platform and IBM IoT Foundation. Ultimately, knowledge gained from analysis of multiple data sources can be combined to achieve further insight.

Together the companies create a viable infrastructure for developers to create better and smarter apps that process IoT and video data at the edge. Western Digital, IBM and ARM play three significant roles to enable the development in an end-to-end IoT infrastructure for app and device developers, such as:

    --  Smart Sensors: The mbed IoT Device Platform is secure, enables devices
        to be mass-production ready and offers support for app developers to
        plug and play sensors;
    --  Data Services at the Edge: WD's My Cloud OS 3 platform interacts with
        the mbed IoT Device Platform, hosting data services at the Edge and
        connecting to data services on the cloud; and
    --  Analyzing the Data: IBM real-time, predictive and cognitive analytic
        services run locally through IBM IoT Foundation platform to better
        understand the data that IoT devices generate, including video analytics
        libraries optimized for sending alerts, metadata and deeper analytics.
"Western Digital is enabling inventors and businesses to be more productive, while storing data locally on My Cloud systems," said Richard E. Rutledge, SVP of marketing, WDLabs. "The My Cloud OS SDK and platform enable app developers to efficiently connect to their apps and run local analytics and metadata."

The demonstration will address the following pain points for app developers in IoT:

    --  Performance: Maintaining data locally provides faster access to more
        actionable data. By using local analytics, only necessary and relevant
        video data and metadata need to be sent to the cloud. Local analytics
        can be run on My Cloud OS 3, with complex analytics in IBM IoT
        Foundation for greater functionality. Latency problems are reduced
        because users are not sending all of the data set to the datacenter and
        back. Local data retention also means a user can run edge-based trend
        analysis on historical data.
    --  Control: Storing data locally allows a user to control what's shared.
        Only pre-processed fractions of the data must be transferred to the
        cloud for more comprehensive analytics.
    --  Cost: Data storage latency and resource costs are reduced by storing
        most of the data locally on a My Cloud device. Subscription fees are
        eliminated and bandwidth requirements are lower.
    --  Security: Pre-processed data is encrypted when transferred to the cloud.
The impact of IoT lies in the sheer volume of data generated. More and more of the world's activity is being expressed digitally by billions of interconnected devices. The resulting data provides businesses with the ability to learn more about their operating environment and to act with the potential of creating new value. IoT is helping businesses better understand and manage very complex systems, such as smart surveillance buildings. According to IDC, 61 percent of the organizations surveyed by the firm are actively pursuing IoT initiatives(1).

It is estimated from IDC that by 2020, IoT spending will rise to $3 trillion and there will be nearly 30 billion IoT devices(2). As IoT sensors generate more and more data at the edge, in systems such as automation and video surveillance for smart homes/buildings, there is not a simple or clear way to save, aggregate and learn from all the data that is being generated.

"As the IoT grows, there is an increased demand for reliable, secure and productive embedded software and web services," said Zach Shelby, vice president of marketing, IoT business, ARM. "ARM mbed is providing the building blocks to simplify the creation and deployment of secure and reliable IoT applications at scale. The collaboration with Western Digital and IBM offers mbed developers the key value-add features to enable a full end-to-end IoT infrastructure solution."

"We are excited about collaborating with both Western Digital and ARM on a real-world example of secure distributed analytics for the Internet of Things," said John Cohn, IBM Fellow, Internet of Things. "The proof of concept shows how easy it is to link ARM's mbed devices to IBM real-time analytics by way of Western Digital's highly secure storage My Cloud gateway. Together we are showing how we can efficiently move workloads through a highly secure gateway and obtain real-time insights through a combination of advanced analytics on the edge and in the cloud."

My Cloud SDK Platform: 

The My Cloud device SDK, based on the Docker(TM) open platform technology, ensures developers can easily access and collaborate to create customized experiences. Partners already developing extensions and new features based on the new SDK include Plex and Milestone. To learn more about the My Cloud platform for developers, visit http://developer.mycloud.com/.

Apple Watch Update to AAA App Gives Consumers More Control over Gas Spending

Find the Fastest Route to the Cheapest and Most Up-To-Date Gas Prices

ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As the recognized leader in providing fuel price trends and gas prices to consumers, AAA has unveiled its AAA app functionality for Apple Watch. With the recent update, Apple Watch owners can now find the gas station that is the fastest to get to or the station with the cheapest price for the type of fuel they use in their vehicle. The app also ensures consumers have the most accurate gas prices by updating prices across the United States and Canada seven times a day.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20080226/DC15031LOGO

"AAA's new Apple Watch functionality puts consumers in charge of their time and helps them make decisions on how much money they spend on gas, whether it's in their daily commute, or traveling for leisure or business," said AAA President and CEO Marshall Doney. "Updating our app to integrate with the newest platforms shows AAA's commitment to lead in the consumer technology space and provide value for our members and the traveling public."

The AAA Gas Price functionality for Apple Watch searches gas station pricing within a multi-mile radius of the user. It then shows the options the user selected - fastest or cheapest. The fastest gas station is determined by reviewing detailed turn-by-turn directions of the eight closest stations and layering traffic information to compute drive times. Navigation to the stations is routed through Apple Maps. Users can also configure the app to select the price for the type of fuel they use. 

Be sure to program the watch before driving, then follow Apple Watch's turn-by-turn voice commands or designate a passenger to help navigate to a destination.

Download the AAA Mobile app before a Thanksgiving getaway

Before setting out on a Thanksgiving trip, download the free AAA Mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android.

TAG Heuer Presents the "TAG Heuer Connected" Watch

The first connected watch developed by a Swiss luxury watchmaker, engineered with Intel Inside and powered by Android Wear

#ConnectedToEternity

NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, TAG Heuer, Intel Corporation and Google unveiled a connected watch, designed by Luxury Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer, engineered with Intel technology and benefiting from everything the Android Wear universe has to offer.

The TAG Heuer Connected Watch with Intel Inside was revealed at a press conference at the symbolic LVMH Tower hosted by Jean-Claude Biver, CEO of TAG Heuer & President of the LVMH Group's Watches Division, accompanied by Brian Krzanich, CEO of Intel Corporation, and David Singleton, VP of Engineering for Android at Google.

Jean-Claude Biver announced: "We are incredibly proud to be unveiling the first connected watch, which brings more than 150 years of history firmly into the future. The TAG Heuer Connected watch gives you the means not only to connect to the future, but also to connect to eternity."

Brian Krzanich emphasized: "Intel makes amazing experiences possible with smart, connected technology. Together with TAG Heuer and Google we created a beautiful, intelligent and functional product that harmonizes the latest computing innovation with more than a century of watchmaking experience, timeless aesthetics and supreme quality."

David Singleton agreed: "From Google Search to smartwatches, Google strives to give you the right information, at exactly the right time and place. Android is how we bring this helpful experience to many of the world's devices. TAG Heuer Connected, powered by Android Wear, is a luxury watch that's beautiful and incredibly useful. We are thrilled to present it along with TAG Heuer and Intel."

What is the TAG Heuer Connected Watch?

The TAG Heuer Connected Watch with Intel Inside is a luxury watch that benefits from over 150 years of Swiss expertise, savoir-faire and heritage as cultivated by TAG Heuer, a watch manufacture based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the cradle of Swiss watchmaking and a UNESCO World Heritage site set at an altitude of 1000 metres, in the middle of Alpine pastures and mountains.

Here, watchmakers have been spending the winter in their workshops (in summer, they farm in the pastures) since the 18th century, inventing incredible watches, which have built the unique reputation and extraordinary image of quality and exclusivity that Swiss watches enjoy the world over. For more than 150 years, TAG Heuer has been inventing and manufacturing elegant sports watches in the city, including some of the most accurate chronographs produced by the Swiss watch industry.

At 46 mm in diameter, the design of the TAG Heuer Connected is primarily that of a true chronograph, with a case, back and lugs made from grade 2 titanium, a contemporary material ensuring the watch is lighter and more resistant to impacts than a traditional material such as steel or gold. Completed by a textured black rubber strap (six other colors - red, blue, white, orange, green and yellow - are available, sold separately) with a deploying buckle made of grade 2 titanium as well, it has all the elegance, characteristics and level of finish expected from a fine wristwatch. The price is set at 1500 USD, 1'350 Euros, 1'400 CHF, 1'100 GBP.

To reinforce its watch DNA...

For the first time, TAG Heuer has developed three digital watch dials (known as watch faces), which feature the immediately recognizable design codes of TAG Heuer's Carrera collection, including hands, index, counters, date window and minute track.

The following will be available from the launch date: the chronograph dial, the 3-hand dial and the GMT dial, all of which display the date and are available in a choice of three colors (black, deep blue or pearl white), faithfully reproducing the appearance and functions of a true dial, with shadows under the hands and the beautiful sunburst effect of the light. And because the TAG Heuer Connected is above all a watch, the digital hands and indexes remain visible at all times, even when the watch is in ambient energy-saving mode.

Soon, other watch faces will be made available, so you can try one customized by TAG Heuer's ambassadors via the exclusive TAG Heuer app which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.

And to make it even more unique

The TAG Heuer Connected is a true watch, both in terms of its appearance, with its watch faces and its minute tracks, but also in its "interactive counters," thanks to the unique way in which its applications are displayed.

The principle is simple: the dial and the hands remain, while the most pertinent information from partner applications is elegantly displayed inside the three counters on the chronograph dial at 12, 6 and 9 o'clock, completely integrated into the watch's aesthetic environment.

What if something shown in a counter really interests you? Touch the counter in question to open and interact with the application in full screen mode.

Favorite applications, sports updates or alerts... it is easy to use and makes information simple to read, enabling the user to stay focused on the essential, without this spoiling the watch's classic appearance. The apps customized for TAG Heuer and available on an exclusive basis will be, to start with, Insiders (lifestyle), GolfShot Pro (golf), RaceChrono Pro (motor racing) and Viewrangers (trailing), which will be offered with free subscriptions. A specially developed Software Development Kit (SDK) will allow enrichment.

In addition, TAG Heuer has added the classic functions that are a key part of the watch universe: Timer, Alarm and Stopwatch, the design of which is faithful to the brand's codes.

Smart. But to what extent?

Living, travelling, getting information, connecting... the TAG Heuer Connected watch is the perfect partner. It brings together the best of both worlds: a magnificent TAG Heuer watch with computing intelligence.

TAG Heuer worked closely with Intel and Google to create a luxury watch that combined connectivity and computing intelligence with Swiss watchmaking heritage. The watch features an Intel® Atom(TM) processor Z34XX and runs the Android Wear platform.

Intel engineered the intelligence inside the watch to optimize performance and enable a multitude of connectivity options including audio streaming, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as well as allow users to harness the full range of features offered by the Android Wear operating system.

With 4 GB of memory, and all day battery life thanks to its latest-generation lithium battery, the TAG Heuer Connected is equipped with a small microphone to communicate with via Google voice control and a sapphire crystal touchscreen - the indispensable complement to the crown at 3 o'clock which also houses controls. The entire piece has been made water resistant for everyday use and is IP67 water resistance rated.

What if the phone is not with you? No problem. The watch will continue to calculate, display, and exchange data, and as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection it will remain connected to the cloud. Naturally, its resident applications (music, timer, alarm, step counter) remain active even when no connection is available.

Android Wear opens the watch up to an almost infinite universe, an ecosystem that enriches itself night and day: thousands of Android applications are already available for the TAG Heuer Connected watch user to download. The key applications, currently used by millions, such as Google Fit, Google Translate, Google Maps and Google Search with your voice are already available on the watch, and show you information with just a glance.

The watch can also be easily synced with a phone running either on Android 4.3+ or iOS 8.2+. It is charged using a contact charger. Simply place the watch on top to recharge it.

The watch also benefits from a two-year warranty, like other TAG Heuer watches.

A connected watch that can also be a timeless gift

Finally anyone who purchases a TAG Heuer Connected watch will have the opportunity to exchange it for a mechanical watch with real Swiss movement inside.

At the end of the connected watch's two-year warranty period, customers can go to the TAG Heuer store of his or her choice to exchange the TAG Heuer Connected watch for a mechanical Swiss Made Carrera watch. With similar design, also made from grade 2 titanium, this mechanical watch has been exclusively developed and reserved for owners of connected watches. Its price is set at 1500 USD, 1'350 Euros, 1'400 CHF, 1'100 GBP.

To complete the experience, an online platform that brings all users together

A dedicated online platform tagheuerconnected.com has been created to share the latest new features and obtain the partner applications available for the interactive counters watch faces. The TAG Heuer Connected watch is available for sale right now from the site tagheuer.com and in more than 100 TAG Heuer boutiques and 150 carefully selected retailers across the world. The list of points of sale can be viewed at tagheuerconnected.com.

Singapore Airlines Selects GX Aviation Powered By Honeywell For High-Speed Global In-Flight Wi-Fi

Passengers will enjoy unprecedented connectivity speed and bandwidth over land and sea, even at 40,000 feet

SINGAPORE, Nov. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell Aerospace (NYSE: HON) will provide its JetWave satellite communications hardware to Singapore Airlines for connection to Inmarsat's Global Xpress Aviation broadband solution, giving passengers a seamless experience of global high-speed in-flight connectivity and capability. The solution will be provided through Zodiac Inflight Innovations and SITAONAIR and provide a homelike and officelike Wi-Fi experience aboard aircraft via Inmarsat GX Ka-band network.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20080425/LAF040LOGO

The installation of the first Global Xpress (GX) Aviation system is scheduled for the second half of 2016 and will be equipped on Singapore Airlines' B777-300ER aircraft, followed by its A380-800s. GX is the only global Ka-band network designed around the requirements of mobile assets, including airplanes. GX Aviation is the first truly global high-speed in-flight connectivity service that will provide aircraft with data rates of up to 50Mbps. Using GX Aviation, passengers will be able to do everything from sending real-time social media updates and emails to live streaming TV, all while in flight and from virtually anywhere in the world, over both land and sea.

"Singapore Airlines is known for its world-class service and sees the value of high-speed Wi-Fi to keep its passengers connected, even on transoceanic flights," said Brian Davis, vice president, Airlines, Asia Pacific, Honeywell Aerospace. "As consumer electronic devices continue to consume frequency bandwidth, more demand will be placed on high-speed satellite connectivity and infrastructure. Honeywell's JetWave hardware and Inmarsat's Global Xpress will support this growth trajectory, giving passengers greater flexibility and not have the frequent in-flight disruptions consumers currently experience on other available systems."

"In-flight connectivity is a major focus area for airlines across the world, and Global Xpress marks the first time that they can offer a reliable, consistent and high-speed solution to their passengers with global coverage," said Leo Mondale, president of Inmarsat Aviation. "The fact that an outstanding airline such as Singapore Airlines has selected Global Xpress is further testament to the strength of our offering, and we congratulate our partners Honeywell Aerospace and SITAONAIR on this exciting development."

In August, Inmarsat successfully launched a third GX satellite. Together, these three satellites provide seamless global coverage for the GX Aviation network. As demand ramps up, additional capacity will be added to the network, with a fourth Global Xpress satellite already scheduled for launch in 2016. The third launch comes less than three months after Honeywell's first successful over-the-air test for JetWave on Inmarsat's GX satellite network. The flight tests validated the reality of a truly seamless experience of connectivity and capability for passengers, airlines and operators.

Vietnam Airlines and Lufthansa have been among the first adopters of JetWave and GX Aviation, bringing the next generation of high-speed in-flight connectivity to their passengers. Vietnam Airlines selected GX Aviation for its A350 fleet, while Lufthansa selected it for its short- and medium-haul fleet. The first Lufthansa aircraft will be fitted with the system in early summer 2016. Honeywell also signed a memorandum of understanding with Air China last year to begin testing GX Aviation on the airline's A330 aircraft.

Gracenote Helps Curate the World's Music

New Music Curation Tool Helps Human Editors Sequence Millions of Songs

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Nov. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Gracenote, the world's leading provider of entertainment data and subsidiary of Tribune Media Company (NYSE: TRCO), today announced the beta launch of Gracenote Rhythm Curation(TM), a Web-based application developed for professional music editors and DJs around the world. Rhythm Curation will help human curators working for popular streaming music services, labels and radio stations build killer playlists for fans to enjoy.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20121218/SF29025LOGO

Music curation is a top priority for many of the world's leading streaming music services today. As more services hire well-known DJs and artists to build out their radio and discovery products, the challenge has become navigating the overabundance of music available at their fingertips. Tools like Rhythm Curation will add a flexible and intuitive user interface to large music catalogs to help curators, regardless of technical chops, create, edit and publish music stations and playlists.

"Rhythm Curation brings together the best of data and technology with the passion and creativity of music industry professionals," said Ty Roberts, chief strategy officer and interim general manager of Music for Gracenote. "Today, music editors don't have tools to help them build eclectic playlists - many simply rely on the search bar. We've changed that with Rhythm Curation which essentially adds a user interface that gives non-technical musicologists the unprecedented ability to filter the world's music catalog."

Gracenote music data has been powering intelligent discovery and recommendations for the world's top music brands for years. With the Rhythm Curation tool, music editors can now easily filter vast song catalogs using deep descriptive metadata (such as Artist type, Genre of the song, Origin or region most associated with the artist and Era the song was recorded) and insights gleaned from machine-learning technology (such as Mood and Tempo) for millions of tracks.

By adding a user-friendly interface, Rhythm Curation will broaden the use of Gracenote music data beyond technologists. In addition to DJs and music editors at streaming services, music directors for feature films and TV shows, radio stations and record labels can now use Rhythm Curation to build upon their favorite songs as well as uncover new and emerging artists based on editorial intelligence aided by machine learning insights.

The full launch of Rhythm Curation is slated for December 2015. Beta access is limited. To learn more, please visit: http://www.gracenote.com.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Marvell (NASDAQ:MRVL) -- a worldwide leader in providing complete silicon solutions from storage to Internet of Things (IoT), cloud infrastructure, digital entertainment, in-home content delivery and Kinoma® software enabling the "Smart Life and Smart Lifestyle -- today announced a new solution for trusted product authentication and consumables management, the 88PA810 Trusted Authentication IC. Designed for use in systems that require secure product authentication and usage tracking, the 88PA810 provides a proven and trusted offering to prevent counterfeit attacks. The 88PA810 integrates state-of-the-art technologies to ensure customer product quality, longevity, and safety while protecting a customer's brand, reputation, and revenue.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20100719/SF36559LOGO-b

Counterfeit solutions, such as poorly crafted ink and toner cartridges or dangerous batteries, present very real problems for both producers and consumers. The 88PA810 will also provide an IoT smart device protection against external attacks that threaten these vulnerable cloud-connected devices. Based on more than five years of collaboration with Cryptography Research, Inc., now Rambus Cryptography Research Division, Marvell's second-generation IC integrates the CryptoFirewall(TM) security solution, in addition to leading-edge anti-tampering and anti-reverse engineering technologies.

"In today's increasingly connected world, products such as IoT smart devices, mobile phones, medical devices, printers, and automotive components rely on advanced security mechanisms to verify system integrity. Superior security must be maintained also for products that allow component upgrades, after-market accessories or replaceable consumable items," said Mark Montierth, Vice President and General Manager, Marvell Printer and Customer Solutions Business Unit. "The 88PA810 Trusted Authentication IC extends Marvell's leadership in authentication security, providing our customers a sophisticated, proven solution to secure their products and protect their customers." 

Marvell's 88PA810 security chip features advanced anti-tampering alarms and extensive circuit obfuscations with active metal mesh coverings, internal clocks and regulators, and other security features to prevent attackers from tampering or using physical attack methods to disrupt or copy the chip or its related consumer product. The IC protects against numerous attack threats and encrypts off-chip data communications. The 88PA810 includes secure product authentication services using a unique hardware ID, a secure usage metering count-down counter that cannot be reset, and 3KB of one-time programmable (OTP) memory for OEMs to record product information and manufacturing metadata. Using a traditional inter-integrated circuit (I²C) interface, the 88PA810 connects with a host controller to run authentication and product management services. The 88PA810 also protects the entire supply chain through a multi-stage provisioning solution to eliminate potential risks from rogue elements.

The 88PA810 will be available to OEMs directly and from a secure programming service and distribution channel. In addition, after the 88PA810 has been deployed in the field, it offers further mechanisms to adapt and counter new attacks and security risks.

The 88PA810 is sampling now.

ShareRoller Turns any Bike into an E-Bike & any Scooter into an E-Scooter

Indiegogo campaign brings the first portable and removable electric assist for bicycles, kickscooters, even bike share, along with an e-bike/e-scooter bundle

NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- What if one compact device could add electric power to everything you ride in seconds? ShareRoller today announced an Indiegogo campaign that will bring the world's first removable and portable electric assist for bicycles, kickscooters and bike share system: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/shareroller-world-s-best-bike-scooter-motor#/

The company is also offering a bike and scooter bundle together with a ShareRoller device and all needed mounts for under $800.  The bike is a 27-spd Schwinn Sidewinder mountain bike with suspension fork, and the scooter is a Razor A5, one of the most popular adult kickscooters around. This bundle gives the customer both an e-bike and an e-scooter all in one simple package, making it the most cost-friendly e-bike/scooter option on the market.

Created by Jeff Guida, ShareRoller looks like a miniature high-tech briefcase. It weighs just 4.5 pounds and measures just 8 x 7 x 3 inches.  The product has a brushless DC motor that delivers 750 watts of continuous power and the ability to conquer any hill it encounters.

ShareRoller attaches to a mounting bracket above the front wheel of the bike and has a Bluetooth-enabled wireless thumb throttle control that clips onto the handlebars. The motor assembly swings out of the case and into position on top of the front tire, and features a custom urethane drive belt to optimize power transfer to the bike.  When your ride is complete, ShareRoller can be removed and retracted within five seconds, so you can take it with you to avoid theft.

ShareRoller can achieve speeds of 20mph and nearly 30 miles of range without the need to pedal, while speeds of 28mph and distances of up to 55 miles are possible when the rider pedals along.  ShareRoller's convenient quick-release lithium battery packs allow riders to carry spares for longer rides, and feature the same battery cells that Tesla uses for its Model S. All battery packs are controlled by a sophisticated Battery Management System, and the unique split-pack design enables even the largest capacity version to comply with strict FAA carry-on regulations for Lithium batteries, making ShareRoller the ultimate travel companion.

ShareRoller also has a built-in USB charging port that allows you to charge your smartphone, iPad or other electronic devices.

ShareRoller has been in development since early 2013 and has been thoroughly tested, improved, and refined.  The company is completing full certifications for the US and international markets in early 2016 and will offer comprehensive warranty coverage.

"With ShareRoller you can cruise up hills, power through headwinds, and sail with a tail wind without breaking a sweat, and without pedaling. ShareRoller transforms your wheels by turning every bike (or scooter) you ride into an e-bike with the option of pedaling as much or as little as you want with our variable throttle button, TailWind cruise control, and available pedelec sensor operation," Guida said.

The crowdfunding campaign for ShareRoller has been launched on Indiegogo https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/shareroller-world-s-best-bike-scooter-motor#/ and has already surpassed its goal. The Indiegogo site contains detailed information on the latest model as well as the e-bike/scooter bundle, which will be in full production by May 2016. The MSRP is $649 for the ShareRoller with the mini battery set and less than $800 for the e-bike/scooter bundle.

ShareRoller Features:

    --  Compatible with mountain bikes, road bikes, hybrids, cruisers, cargo
        bikes, even share bikes and kick scooters
    --  All-in-one device that is ultra-portable and can be installed or removed
        in seconds.
    --  Easy-to-install Universal Mount fits nearly any bike and many scooters
    --  Quick-release battery packs with up to 55 mile range
    --  Tiny and light. Weighs 4.5 lbs and measures 8" x 7" x 3" with the Mini
        battery pack
    --  Top speed: 20mph without pedaling; up to 28 mph when rider pedals along
    --  Wireless Bluetooth throttle module allows 3 modes of control
    --  Variable throttle button gives the option of pedaling some, or not at
        all
    --  Smartphone App (Android and iOS) to control and monitor various
        functions
    --  ADA-inspired product. Makes bike share more accessible to a segment of
        disabled or elderly citizens
