Intersil Introduces High Efficiency, Highly Integrated 8A and 3A Synchronous Buck Regulators

High efficiency DC/DC converters step-down 5V rails to point-of-load

MILPITAS, Calif., Nov. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), a leading provider of innovative power management and precision analog solutions, today announced five new highly integrated synchronous buck regulators that step-down 5V rails to point-of-load (POL) inputs as low as 0.6V for FPGAs, DSPs and microprocessors. The feature-rich ISL8018 delivers up to 8A of continuous output current from a 2.7V to 5.5V input supply, while offering up to 97% efficiency and higher integration than competitive devices. The 2 x 2mm ISL8003x family of devices delivers up to 3A of continuous output current from a 2.7V to 5.5V input supply and offers up to 95% peak efficiency for delivering general POL conversions in telecom, cloud computing, industrial, instrumentation and medical equipment.

The ISL8018 provides an innovative SYNCIN and SYNCOUT feature that connects and synchronizes multiple regulators at the same switching frequency in a master/slave configuration using a phase shifting time delay. This prevents ON time overlapping and reduces RMS current, ripple and input capacitance requirements to improve EMI and efficiency. With the ISL8018's VSET feature, the voltage output margining can be set at +/- 10% to compensate for output voltage IR drop. The ISET feature provides programmable output current limits to support 8A, 5A and 3A applications. This allows customers to leverage one design with smaller inductors for reduced costs and board area. In addition, the ISL8018's programmable switching frequency from 500 kHz up to 4MHz enables the use of smaller passive components for faster transient response and further board space savings.

The ISL80030, ISL80030A, ISL80031, and ISL80031A are pin-compatible and integrate very low R(DS(ON)) high-side PMOS and low-side NMOS MOSFETs, which reduces external component count and power losses. With lower die temperatures, these buck regulators allow the system to operate without cooling fans or heatsinks and still deliver a continuous 3A to the load, significantly increasing reliability. They also offer internal compensation, which eliminates additional external components to reduce design complexity. The complete converter occupies less than 64mm(2) of board space. And the ISL80031 and ISL80031A offer a light load mode to improve efficiency over all load currents when the system switches to a low power state.

"As the number of voltage rails increases and design complexity continues to grow, power supply designers need switching regulators that deliver high efficiency, fast transient response and are simple to use," said Mark Downing, senior vice president of Infrastructure and Industrial Power Products at Intersil. "The new 8A and 3A synchronous buck regulators give our customers the right set of features and flexibility in a compact solution size as small as 2 by 2mm required for point-of-load applications."

OmniVision Unveils PureCel®Plus and PureCel®Plus-S Technology

Advanced Sensor Technology Marks Evolution in Pixel Structure

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a leading developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, today announced the latest advancement in its portfolio of innovative pixel technologies: PureCel(®)Plus and PureCel(®)Plus-S. Utilizing a buried color filter array (BCFA) and deep trench isolation (DTI) technology, PureCel Plus and PureCel Plus-S sensors deliver best-in-class pixel performance with significant improvements in low-light performance and crosstalk reduction.

One of the key benefits of PureCel Plus technology is the reduction of pixel crosstalk, which minimizes color crosstalk and color noise, dramatically improving color reproduction under low-light conditions. Another critical benefit is the angular response of the sensor. With PureCel Plus technology, OmniVision's sensors can provide higher signal response at a larger incident light angle than the one with predecessor technologies.  This technology greatly increases the tolerance of new camera systems to incident light angles. As a result, with PureCel Plus sensors, module design houses can use brighter lenses and build camera systems with much thinner geometries.

"It has long been an industry-wide presumption that increasing resolution by reducing pixel size may result in the degradation of camera performance, due to low-light sensitivity. However, as we are seeing with PureCel Plus, that is not always the case," said Dr. Song Xue, senior manager of sensor technology at OmniVision. "Our new 1.0 micron sensors built on PureCel Plus technology will exhibit the same level of signal-to-noise ratio as 1.12 micron sensors built on our previous generation technologies. Today's advancement enables us to continue reducing pixel size while maintaining the highest image and video quality standards."

In addition to PureCel Plus, PureCel Plus-S leverages OmniVision's stacked die technology, which separates the imaging sensor array from the image sensor processing pipeline. This configuration supports additional system functionality and improves sensor performance, while enabling a much smaller footprint when compared with non-stacked sensors. As a result, sensors built with PureCel Plus-S technology can deliver best-in-class image quality and high functionality with minimal chip size.

New Startup Launch to Modernize Immersive Photography Standard

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, Nov. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Smartphone users are invited to experience GOSHES, the new multi-platform app expected to redefine the standard in photography and harmonized ambient lighting. GOSHES unites memories with the present by bringing experiences, emotions, and atmosphere to life in dynamic photography scenes with only a smartphone, smart bulbs, and its users' interest in creating beautiful experiences. GOSHES is the first data-rich app of its kind and is expected to revolutionize the interplay between photography and our memories.

"With GOSHES, you can design brilliant light shows within the comfort of your own home that will allow you to recall your favorite memories or travel the world vicariously through the eyes of your new favorite photographers," said Jakub Ja ák, GOSHES R&D Director. GOSHES is the first app of its kind to provide advanced data metrics for its photographers in one application, letting users relive their moments again and again simply by snapping photos, editing their favorites and setting unique dynamic ambient lighting for perfect in-home ambience.

GOSHES' secret is its sophisticated built-in camera feature, through which users snap and edit pictures directly within the application itself. "With your curated portfolio of stunning imagery, our algorithm will help you automatically create immaculate dynamic scenes. This complex scene editor will connect with your smart bulbs for a truly customized smart lighting experience in any room equipped with a Philips Hue or LIFX. Once you have synced your smart bulbs with GOSHES, you can begin sharing your selected scenes to create dramatic lighting effects for an immersive, lifelike experience. The app communicates with smart bulbs so you can control your room with either smartphone or smart watch," Jakub Ja ák

Transform your space with GOSHES' in-depth data sharing

GOSHES allows users to relive the moments captured in their photographs through a unique contextualized experience. By linking your smart watch with the smartphone through the GOSHES application, users can immerse yourself in the sounds, environment and conditions of the image's origin - whether it was their own experience or that of another photographer.

In addition to light and color, GOSHES evokes the sounds, temperature, atmospheric pressure and even the humidity of the photograph's setting, while also capturing the photographer's heart rate, his user's position, and more. This data, accessed through the photographer's smartphone and smart watch, is available for both Android and iPhone users.

Experience the world, one photograph at a time.

Those of us who have caught the wanderlust bug or who enjoy living vicariously can purchase images from other photographers, and can make their own pictures available in the GOSHES app store for a named price.

"All images in our gallery will come equipped with the same comprehensive data as if you had taken the photographs yourself, and will be available for immediate dynamic scene use. Within a matter of seconds, you will be able to enjoy the atmosphere and experience of Tokyo, New York or even the Sahara thanks to other GOSHES users around the globe."

The future of GOSHES

The opportunities are limitless with this kind of new technology data experience. Imagine the cinema experience of the future, in which theaters can accent films with authentic ambient lighting and adaptable temperature modules for whole-body immersion into the film. Similarly, this technology will benefit offices in the future, in which you will be able to create unique meeting rooms that capture the atmosphere of engaging graphics or exciting places or help frequent business travelers get acquainted with their next destination in advance.

GOSHES is available in the Google Play Store or the App Store for iOS.

SecureBlackbox 14 Offers Reliable Free Security to Freeware and Open-source Developers

LONDON, November 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    EldoS Corporation, provider of security and file system software components, today
announced SecureBlackbox 14, a new major release of its SecureBlackbox product, the

security backends and failure of open-source libraries to satisfy it, EldoS Corporation
offers free licenses for SecureBlackbox to ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) that

security problems, but also flaws in the development and maintenance processes among
developers of those libraries. We aim to give people an alternative to badly supported
freeware and offer a maintained solution that at the same time would fit into their
existing business models."- said Ken Ivanov, Director of EldoS Corporation.

Bigfoot Hunter, a Unique and Innovative Camera Game Available Exclusively on iOS Thursday, November 5th

Appealing graphics style, and tight controls perfectly suited to iOS come together to bring a brand new experience to the global mobile market.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Global games publisher R2 Games, in collaboration with The Tap Lab, will soon be launching a new mobile title with unique augmented reality gameplay mechanics.

From the USA branch of R2 Games, in collaboration with The Tap Lab, comes a camera game designed from the ground up specifically for iOS devices. The genre of this title is hard to define, developers themselves describe it as "influenced by our childhood memories of playing the N64 camera game, Pokemon Snap(TM), and the classic NES game, Duck Hunt(TM). A hilarious movie called Harry & the Hendersons(TM) also served as our inspiration for the theme"

As the name of the game suggests, Bigfoot Hunter tasks players with tracking down the ever elusive Bigfoot and his friends, and immortalizing them photographically. Players will use their devices as a would-be camera to snap pics of cute forest critters while searching campsites, meadows, and various other thematic areas for signs of Bigfoot. Once located, the game takes a frantic turn as the friendly giant rushes from side to side, trying to avoid the gaze of the camera while striking playfully taunting poses.

Also featured in the game is a photo booth, letting players superimpose character and item stickers earned by playing Bigfoot Hunter on photographs in real time using the camera. These photos can then be saved and shared with friends in the Bigfoot Museum, a social hub within the game.

This new partnership with The Tap Lab cements R2 Games' ongoing drive to bringing unique and fresh games to their global audience. David P. Chiu, Vice President of R2 Games USA comments that "We are always on the lookout for uniquely creative titles from talented developers, so Bigfoot Hunter from The Tap Lab was a natural fit for us. We jumped at the opportunity to work with them to bring this project to fruition."

David Bisceglia, Co-Founder & CEO of The Tap Lab described how, "The idea for Bigfoot Hunter came out of a game jam we hosted at our studio back in 2013. We're thrilled to be bringing this unique camera game experience to market and to be working with R2 Games USA as our publisher -- they genuinely love our game, are extremely developer-friendly and have a comprehensive understanding of building, distributing and running live ops on free-to-play mobile games."

Kudan Announces Augmented Reality Support for Unity®, the Leading Mobile 3D Game Industry Software

BRISTOL, England, November 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Kudan, the Augmented Reality software provider, release a version of their AR Engine
that unlocks the potential for over 4.5 million Unity(R) developers to integrate
professional Augmented Reality into their games and apps.

    The Kudan AR SDK has solved some of the biggest challenges with Augmented Reality
today. Until now apps have generally been reliant upon expensive data connections, a
problem that Kudan neatly avoids with the ability to store assets and recognize hundreds
of images locally on the device. 3D content can be highly realistic, with multi-million
polygon models and HD videos.

    Next-generation features of the Kudan AR SDK include the ability for developers to add
occlusion to real world objects, adding depth and interactivity to a scene.

    The SDK also offers a capability to position AR content on any surface. Known as
Markerless Tracking, this is a new type of AR that doesn't require a trigger image or
location, allowing for AR anywhere, anytime.

    The magic of the augmented reality can now be easily added to new or existing Unity(R)
projects. Unity(R) customers include Cartoon Network, Coca-Cola, Disney, Electronic Arts,
LEGO, Microsoft, NASA, Nexon, Nickelodeon, Square, Ubisoft and Warner Bros.

    Kudan CTO, John Williams says, "The Unity plugin is another milestone in the
development of our engine and represents an important step towards the continued growth of
our developer ecosystem. We're committed to providing the millions of Unity developers a
professional solution with which to enable AR in their games and apps."

    Unity(R) is the game developer's software of choice in every major market in the
world. An overwhelming majority of the top-grossing 3D mobile games made with third-party
tools are created using Unity Technologies' engine.

    The fully featured Kudan AR Engine is a relative newcomer onto the scene, arriving at
a time of great disruption in the AR software provider landscape. With Apple Inc.'s buyout
of Metaio and Qualcomm's sale of the Vuforia platform, developers have been faced with
some difficult choices.

    The lightweight Kudan AR Engine Unity Package is available to download, for free, at
the Kudan Website:

Build The Ultimate Super Hero School And Experience The Avengers As You've Never Seen Them Before In MARVEL Avengers Academy

Marvel and TinyCo Reimagine the Iconic Avengers as College Students in Upcoming Mobile Game

SAN FRANCISCO and LOS ANGELES, Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, TinyCo and Marvel Entertainment announced that Super Hero school is officially in session with MARVEL Avengers Academy, an all-new adventure / simulation game. Currently in development for iPhone®, iPad®, iPod touch® and Android(TM) devices, MARVEL Avengers Academy will allow players to build their dream Super Hero school and guide the paths of the world-famous characters as complex young adults grappling with newly emerging powers and social lives.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151104/284152LOGO

In MARVEL Avengers Academy players will unlock the young versions of their favorite Avengers characters through exploration, and will upgrade and develop their superpowers and play through original narrative-driven stories written in partnership between TinyCo and Marvel Entertainment. To further customize the experience, each iconic character can be suited with unique abilities and exclusive outfits. MARVEL Avengers Academy marks the first time in videogame history that the beloved cast of the Avengers has been re-envisioned as student versions of themselves.

In MARVEL Avengers Academy, players will have the freedom to build and expand their own version of a prestigious Super Hero campus, creating the ultimate environment for aspiring young Avengers to hone their skills by building and upgrading training facilities, dorms, laboratories, classrooms, sports stadiums and much more. Players will experience dramatic campus life by going on dates, confronting rival cliques and navigating the social ups and downs of their character's lives, all with a special Super Hero twist. Up-and-coming Super Heroes and Super Villains will learn what it takes to reach their greatest potential. They'll engage in sporting activities and training sessions to build and strengthen their superpowers, which they'll take out into the world as youthful Avengers, uncovering exciting original storylines and battling against epic Super Foes.

"Marvel's Avengers is an amazing franchise with near endless possibilities," stated Andrew N. Green, Head of Business Operations at TinyCo. "We are excited to work closely with the team at Marvel Games on MARVEL Avengers Academy to offer a truly unique experience that will allow a broad range of players to interact with the iconic characters and universe in ways never before seen in gaming!"

"Whether its visiting Stark Tower or going on a date with Loki, players will soon be debating what's the coolest experience of MARVEL Avengers Academy, but for this lifelong fan, it's seeing world-famous Super Heroes like Captain America, Black Widow and Iron Man reimagined into charmingly fresh but instantly recognizable young adult forms," said Bill Rosemann, Marvel Games Creative Director. "And here's the extra twist:  There's a mystery for you to uncover--a shocking truth that lies beneath the very campus you're exploring. You see, these are the real deal Earth's Mightiest Heroes (and Villains), complete with their distinct personalities, powers and personal struggles that we've all grown to know and love. What has transformed them into students, and what chain of events have assembled them at the ultimate superhuman university? Class is in session...do you have what it takes to become an Avenger?"

Rosemann, a 20-year veteran of the Super Hero industry, is sharing his extensive knowledge of the Marvel Universe to help bring the ever-expanding cast of MARVEL Avengers Academy to life. TinyCo has also enlisted the help of their own top tier talent, including comic book and animation writer Allen Warner and David Nakayama, artist of numerous comic book covers for Marvel.

MARVEL Avengers Academy is developed by TinyCo and will release in Q1 2016 as a free-to-download game with in-app purchases for iPhone®, iPad®, iPod touch® and for Android(TM) devices.

Three Doctors Announce the World's First Free Memorial Video Message App

WARRINGTON, England, Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Three German doctors came up with an extraordinary startup idea: they announced a free smartphone application called Vidernity that allows users to record and share videos with family and friends who receive them after they pass away; a system which enables leaving a last message, something that might help those who are left behind to ease the pain, to let them remember the good things they experienced together, and to help forget the pain this loss causes. The CEO and founder of the company is Dr. Anett Duranyik (26) a young female Senior House Officer in Neurosurgery who emphasizes: "We strongly believe that everyone deserves this opportunity and therefore we wanted to create a free system that enables this." Dr. Balázs Marton (34), co-founder, adds "We treat people every day, and their last thoughts before the 'inevitable' are always friends and family." Dr. Sándor Kónya (31), co-founder, summarised the most important message "Whether you are a healthy individual or someone who suffers from a deadly disease, you should tell your loved ones every day how you love them as long as you can because there is no service that can replace that!"

To decide how realistic this idea is, they conducted a survey among more than 8,900 people. The results were astonishing: 55% of the respondents aged 18-24 in the UK would use the service. This percentage was even higher (59.4%) among women in this age group. Similar trends were to be seen in the USA. Enthusiastic over the positive results of the survey the trio applied for selection to the Web Summit and they debut as an official ALPHA Startup in Dublin! To finance the development the team launches a campaign on KickStarter, where they offer lucrative perks with pledges starting from only EUR5. Perks include early access to the app, custom designed and personalized membership cards, cool T-shirts, Skype calls with the founders, and even a dinner invitation with them.

CloudRail Launches the "Universal API to Everything"

MANNHEIM, Germany, November 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Integration to any cloud service and smart device via one single API

    CloudRail, a visionary in the connected economy, has launched the "Universal API to
Everything". This solution enables software developers to integrate their applications to
all connected smart devices or cloud services via one single API. http://cloudrail.com

         (Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20151104/283851 )

    APIs (application programming interfaces) allow apps and devices speak to one another.
They enable the seamless connectivity that drives the Internet of Everything. But today
many developers have become overwhelmed with multiple provider APIs with proprietary data
formats and semantics. Each manual integration has become a time consuming task. In
addition, providers struggle with making their data available to applications in a simple
way and therefore lack developer reach for adoption of their services.

    CloudRail has solved these problems. Software developers can now use CloudRail for
automatic integration into a broad offering of leading cloud services and smart devices.
This includes the Top 10 service based APIs, e.g. Dropbox, Facebook, and connected home
devices such as Nest and Philips Hue. Developers can also easily extend the current
integrations by adding functionality or creating completely new services to the CloudRail
integration database. The result of the CloudRail Universal API solution is a dramatic
reduction in the development time required for an integration from days to just hours.

    The CloudRail Universal API and integrations are free for developers. CloudRail and
the developer community will be creating the interoperability standard platform of the
future.

    Developers can get started immediately with the API to Everything at
http://cloudrail.com/product. CloudRail's Universal API is available for Java and
Android developers, with iOS and other platforms coming soon.

    About CloudRail 

    CloudRail's vision is to create a single universal interface to access all services.
Its Universal API gives developers the power to interoperate with any type of cloud
provider or smart device faster, cheaper, and more secure than using traditional manual
integration methods.  Headquartered in Mannheim, Germany and with an office in San
Francisco, CA, CloudRail is building the interoperable internet of tomorrow. Learn more at

Fujitsu Leads Industry with New Small Form Factor and Long Lifecycle Workstations

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

News facts:

    --  80 years of innovations, 25 years of workstation expertise, two new
        family members - CELSIUS W550 and CELSIUS J550
    --  Customers benefit from the industry's widest customized configuration
        options via Fujitsu made4you
    --  Fujitsu is the only workstation vendor to offer full-height graphics in
        a small form factor while delivering continuity by guaranteeing a
        three-year lifespan with Long Lifecycle variant
    --  Premium FUJITSU P27T-7 UHD display supporting beautiful 4k clarity for
        creative professionals
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140618/119400

Fujitsu today announces its most comprehensive workstation portfolio. With the introduction of two new models - CELSIUS® W and CELSIUS J - to the workstation line-up, Fujitsu is addressing customer demands for smaller, yet more powerful workstations and a minimum lifecycle of 36 months, while at the same time achieving maximum performance scores and low noise emissions.

The extended Fujitsu CELSIUS workstations portfolio provides a wide range of essential tools for any computing role that requires the highest levels of performance - whether designing cars, constructing buildings, analyzing or responding to complex data, or financial modeling.

Designed, engineered and produced in Germany, the new FUJITSU Workstation CELSIUS W and CELSIUS J models are specifically designed for demanding tasks and applications such as video editing, mechanical and electrical computer aided design (CAD), architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), and finance. They also meet specific needs of the healthcare industry due to low noise emissions and extended product lifecycles. Fujitsu's end-to-end capabilities are founded on 80 years of innovations and 25 years of workstation expertise.

The Fujitsu customizing program - made4you - is a hallmark of all CELSIUS models as customers can choose from the widest range of options to meet their exact requirements. Fujitsu offers customizing services for hardware- and software-related alterations, add-on services to improve processes, and an extended lifetime for products to ensure continuous quality control in rollouts.

Featuring the latest Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 v5 family processors, a broad choice of professional graphics cards and storage devices, including super-fast PCIe SSDs to provide a quick loading of core applications and reliable high-endurance and business critical drives designed for long-term operation, the new CELSIUS J550 small form factor and CELSIUS W550 desktop workstation power through jobs that bring even high-end desktop PCs grinding to a halt.

Vera Schneevoigt, Senior Vice President, Product Supply Operations at Fujitsu Technology Solutions GmbH says: "FUJITSU CELSIUS workstations stand out in the market in terms of performance, noise emissions and customization. Thanks to the combination of the Fujitsu made4you customization capabilities supporting individual customer requirements and our own design, engineering and manufacturing facilities in Augsburg, Germany, which includes in-house developed BIOS and motherboards."

FUJITSU Workstation CELSIUS J550 - Small and Powerful
The CELSIUS J550 is the newest and smallest member of the CELSIUS workstation family. Its innovative design supports full height graphics, a legacy PCI slot (optionally) within a 10-liter capacity. It is 66 percent smaller than the CELSIUS W550 desktop workstation, making it the ideal device for working environments with limited space such as digital signage, trading floors or control rooms but also mobile solutions in hospitals.

"FUJITSU CELSIUS workstations have an outstanding reputation with professionals. Combining the NVIDIA Quadro® platform with the engineering skills of Fujitsu results in a powerful and versatile small form factor workstation," says Walter Mundt-Blum, Vice President Enterprise EMEAI at NVIDIA. "The CELSIUS J550 can house a Quadro K2200, delivering supreme performance in a very small envelope. With NVIDIA's Mosaic technology it can also drive up to 8 displays, making it a great choice for multi-monitor environments."

FUJITSU Workstation CELSIUS W550 and CELSIUS W550 Long Lifecycle
The popular entry-level Fujitsu desktop workstation, the CELSIUS W550, is now available in a standard and a long lifecycle variant. Both these powerful systems deliver an abundant choice of components at an affordable price. Fujitsu is the only vendor offering a long lifecycle workstation that guarantees a minimum lifespan of 36 months for the entire platform.

FUJITSU Displays P-Line - Premium display line supporting now27" 4k Display
Combining FUJITSU CELSIUS Workstations with the Fujitsu premium P Line displays, aimed at creative professionals, deliver unmatched picture performance. In terms of resolution the new FUJITSU P27T-7 UHD Display is the best choice for designers and creatives. It is designed for pixel, color and performance-hungry applications and provides outstanding picture quality with 3,840 x 2,160 pixels. This Ultra High Definition (UHD) resolution - also known as 4k - shows every detail in graphics intensive applications, and Picture in Picture (PiP) enables you to display comfortably content from two sources onto one screen. Proven ergonomics by an adjustable stand help to maintain a comfortable posture during long usage sessions. The rotation to portrait-format for multi-display usage and a multitude of UHD supporting interfaces make the P27T-7 UHD perfect for FUJITSU Workstations. It works best in combination with the Microsoft Windows® 10 operating system.

Pricing and availability
FUJITSU Workstation CELSIUS systems are available globally from Fujitsu and distribution partners. Pricing varies by specification and region.

The ultra-light advanced sensor embedded within the robot is designed to detect the existence of live persons trapped under the rubble of a collapsed building, while its integrated micro HD video camera enables the guidance and landing of any small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as a carrier. Unmatched in the industry, the Lynx family's patented Sense-Through-The-Air(TM) Technology enables networking between the various units of the Lynx-A(TM) to identify multiple trapped individuals below ground level. The system is superior to existing search and rescue technologies and capabilities in many ways: traditional solutions of seismic sensors are susceptible to environmental noise, K-9s are inefficient in windy conditions and due to high positive and negative false readings, and radar-based detectors lack the accuracy and effectiveness of Lynx family products. "By remotely landing the sensor in multiple points, extreme efficiency in set up and search time to detect trapped individuals can be achieved," commented Dr. Fred Mohamadi, Founder and President of IntelliNet Sensors. "The rapid deployment within hard-to-reach areas allows first responders and law enforcement personnel to save many more lives in a highly stressful and noisy environment - a factor that traditional sensors are lacking."

About IntelliNet Sensors, Inc.
IntelliNet Sensors, Inc. (INS) is a privately held U.S. company that develops advanced electronic modules with very small form factors, highly integrated functionality, and advanced performance for a wide range of commercial applications. INS has more than 10 granted patents, as well as numerous pending patent applications. Because each is specifically related to breathing and heartbeat detection technology at extended ranges, INS is uniquely positioned to serve the first responder communities in spreading their life-saving efforts globally.

DALLAS, Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Health care diagnostic imaging devices, from customary prenatal care to advanced cardiac imaging equipment, are increasingly expected to provide more precise images, while also becoming more portable. To meet these demands, Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced the AFE5818 and AFE5816 families, the industry's first 16-channel ultrasound analog front ends (AFEs). The new AFEs integrate a range of features to maximize image quality and performance while minimizing power consumption and system cost. For more information about these devices, see http://www.ti.com/afe5818-pr.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151103/283421

To optimize system efficiency, these families offer multiple versions with and without a demodulation block and JESD204B interface option, which further simplifies board layout and provides cost savings. The new families also offer industry-leading low power consumption for the noise performance achieved, enabling portable solutions that offer better imaging performance without negatively impacting the power budget.

Key features and benefits of the AFE5818 and AFE5816 families

    --  Highest integration: The AFE5818 and AFE5816 families are the industry's
        first 16-channel simultaneously sampling AFEs, enabling system-level
        optimization.
    --  Minimal power consumption: The AFE5818 and AFE5816 offer power
        consumption as low as 94 mW and 52 mW per channel, respectively -- 33
        percent better per channel than the competition.
    --  JESD204B interface: The AFE58JD18 and AFE58JD16 include a 5-Gbps
        JESD204B serial interface, reducing ultrasound system data I/O routing
        by as much as 80 percent compared to other data interface standards and
        enabling a data rate of up to 6.4 Gbps. This standard interface creates
        a seamless connection to high-performance processors such as TI's
        66AK2L06 multicore processor.
    --  Digital time gain compensation (DTGC): The AFE58JD16 and AFE5816 include
        a DTGC engine with 0.125-dB resolution, which reduces noise and power
        consumption. DTGC also reduces the need for external components,
        compared to traditional analog time gain compensation.
    --  Digital demodulator: The AFE58JD18 and AFE58JD16 also feature an on-chip
        digital demodulator, which conditions 16 channels of data from RF to a
        baseband frequency. This reduces the load on the system processing
        engine to enable lower latency and higher image quality.

Neat Microphones, A Division Of Gibson Brands, Set New Standards In USB Mics With Launch Of "Widgets"

Ease of Use and Superior Audio Quality Simplify Capturing Audio with Computers at Affordable Price

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Gibson Brands, the fastest-growing company in the music and sound industries, has announced the launch of the "Widget" mic line by Neat Microphones. Henry Juszkiewicz, CEO and Chairman of Gibson Brands, states, "The time for entirely new thinking in how microphones are designed, manufactured, and applied is overdue--not only to benefit professionals, but also to create products that improve the audio experience of all consumers."

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151104/284150

Since joining Gibson Brands, Neat has released their Bee Microphone line for professional audio applications and now, with more people turning to computers for voice communications, Neat is launching the Widget line for home and educational use. The current lineup consists of three cool desktop USB mics that not only capture sound beautifully, but whose colorful looks also capture the imagination.

Skipper Wise, Neat Microphones' President, came to Gibson Brands from Blue Microphones, which he co-founded with Martins Saulespurens. Together they revolutionized the recording industry by changing the way people record with and perceive microphones. They introduced the best-selling, top in class Snowball and Yeti professional USB microphones to the marketplace.  Now with Gibson, the former Blue management team is taking microphones to the next level.

Neat carries on that tradition for consumer-oriented, computer-based applications--"Widgets" plug directly into a computer's USB port, bypassing the need for preamps, interfaces, and other complicated gear. Each Widget combines high-resolution, better-than-CD-quality audio performance (96 kHz, 24-bit resolution) with true plug-and-play operation for both Mac and Windows computers.

According to Wise, "Whether it's a grandfather talking to his granddaughter, a long-distance relationship, or a business conference call, more and more people are using computers for communications--as well as taking dictation, capturing musical ideas, recording notes in class, or simply preserving audio memories. Widgets address those needs with the highest quality possible--these mics don't just capture sound, but every syllable and emotion of a conversation."

Juszkiewicz adds, "Neat is about creating the next generation of microphones--one that innovates from manufacturing processes to final look and feel.

CloudRail Launches the "Universal API to Everything"

MANNHEIM, Germany, November 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Integration to any cloud service and smart device via one single API

    CloudRail, a visionary in the connected economy, has launched the "Universal API to
Everything". This solution enables software developers to integrate their applications to
all connected smart devices or cloud services via one single API. http://cloudrail.com

         (Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20151104/283851 )

    APIs (application programming interfaces) allow apps and devices speak to one another.
They enable the seamless connectivity that drives the Internet of Everything. But today
many developers have become overwhelmed with multiple provider APIs with proprietary data
formats and semantics. Each manual integration has become a time consuming task. In
addition, providers struggle with making their data available to applications in a simple
way and therefore lack developer reach for adoption of their services.

    CloudRail has solved these problems. Software developers can now use CloudRail for
automatic integration into a broad offering of leading cloud services and smart devices.
This includes the Top 10 service based APIs, e.g. Dropbox, Facebook, and connected home
devices such as Nest and Philips Hue. Developers can also easily extend the current
integrations by adding functionality or creating completely new services to the CloudRail
integration database. The result of the CloudRail Universal API solution is a dramatic
reduction in the development time required for an integration from days to just hours.

    The CloudRail Universal API and integrations are free for developers. CloudRail and
the developer community will be creating the interoperability standard platform of the
future.

    Developers can get started immediately with the API to Everything at
http://cloudrail.com/product. CloudRail's Universal API is available for Java and
Android developers, with iOS and other platforms coming soon.

    About CloudRail 

    CloudRail's vision is to create a single universal interface to access all services.
Its Universal API gives developers the power to interoperate with any type of cloud
provider or smart device faster, cheaper, and more secure than using traditional manual
integration methods.  Headquartered in Mannheim, Germany and with an office in San
Francisco, CA, CloudRail is building the interoperable internet of tomorrow. Learn more at
