LG TWIN Wash Laundry Pair Makes Larger-Than-Life Debut In Times Square Theatrical Event

Industry-First Laundry Innovation Washes Two Loads at Same Time, Slated for Nationwide Availability in December

NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA today celebrates the launch of the highly anticipated LG TWIN Wash(TM) laundry pair with SideKick(TM) pedestal washer with an all-day, Broadway-inspired event in the heart of New York's Theater District.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7671151-lg-electronics-twin-wash-launch

Aptly titled "LG TWIN Wash presents: Divide & Conquer on Broadway," the launch event features six performances from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. taking place in Father Duffy Square and stars LG's newest laundry innovation - with the help of world-class puppeteers, performers and an award-winning choreographer. The new LG laundry pair designed to make laundry a breeze will be available nationwide Dec. 20.

LG TWIN Wash with SideKick pedestal washer, an industry-first home laundry innovation, allows users to run two separate loads of laundry at the same time. The SideKick is an additional washing machine that may be placed under the LG front-load washer and is specifically designed to wash small, custom-care laundry loads. Its compact size is perfect for special care items, including intimates, delicates and active wear.

Spotlighting the appliance's remarkable dual washing capabilities, a string of performances in Times Square will feature a larger-than-life, 14-foot version of the LG TWIN Wash laundry pair, two 16-foot puppets and six dancers specializing in martial arts, acrobatics and Capoeira, culminating with the "delicate" and "regular" performance artists vying for position in LG TWIN Wash's giant front-loading drum and the diminutive SideKick pedestal washer.

"LG is committed to finding new ways to help busy families save time and 'divide and conquer' their daily chores, especially in the laundry room," said David VanderWaal, vice president of marketing for LG Electronics USA. "LG TWIN Wash technology is the first washer system to allow consumers to wash two loads at the same time. There's no better way to launch an innovation this big than through its first breakout performance and theatrical debut in New York's bustling Times Square with help from a few other, quite literally, massive characters."

Based on the LG TWIN Wash "divide and conquer" 60-second digital commercial also premiering today, the performance was conceptualized and choreographed by top Broadway choreographer Joshua Bergasse, best known for his Emmy Award-winning work on the NBC show "Smash" and his Tony Award-nominated work on Broadway's "On the Town."

"I wanted to create something memorable with this event; a story that combines the aesthetics of a delicate dance and forceful combat to really showcase the effectiveness of these products," said Bergasse. "I knew I had to work to truly tell the story of LG TWIN Wash, a first-of-its kind innovation, and certainly a star in any laundry room."

The "delicate" and "regular" puppets are brought to life and directed by renowned master puppeteer Eric Wright of the Puppet Kitchen, with each puppet manned by a group of six puppeteers, respectively. Six professional dancers and acrobats will also help bring the show and LG TWIN Wash story to life.

In specially-designed "onstage" areas, consumers can experience the benefits of LG TWIN Wash first-hand and learn more about its capabilities in between performances. Times Square patrons will also have the opportunity to win prizes, including Broadway.com gift certificates and the LG TWIN Wash itself.

LG TWIN Wash washers and accompanying SideKick pedestal washers will be available in both 27- and 29-inch widths with a choice of Graphite Steel or White finishes. The 27-inch WM5000 and 29-inch WM9000 LG TWIN Wash washers earned the ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient 2015 designation. The combined total capacity of the mega-capacity front-load washer and its companion pedestal washer is up to 6.2 cubic feet of space. 

Despite its compact size at one cubic foot, the SideKick can wash approximately three to four pounds of laundry per cycle. It is compatible with most LG front-load washers available since 2009, making it the perfect complement for existing LG washers purchased over the past six years. In addition to its new functionality, the washer features LG's TurboWash® technology, which provides 30 minutes of time savings per load.*

"LG TWIN Wash Presents: Divide & Conquer on Broadway" will take place in Father Duffy Square between 45(th) and 47(th) Streets, Seventh Ave. and Broadway in the heart of Manhattan. Performances will take place throughout the day at 9:15 a.m., 11 a.m., 12:45 p.m., 2 p.m., 3:15 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.

*Compared to an LG front load or top load washer without TurboWash(®). Based on AHAM-HLW-1-2010 test protocol. Cotton / Normal or comparable cycle at default settings, 8 lb. loads. Excludes other LG manufactured products. Excludes quick wash or comparable cycles intended for small, lightly soiled loads only. Available on select models.

Polaroid Delivers New Lifestyle Action Camera with Wi-Fi and Upgraded Features to Capture Life's Best Moments

Get Mobile with the Polaroid Cube+, a Fun, Easy-to-Use and Affordable Lifestyle Action Cam, and Share Compelling Content via the new Polaroid CUBE Club Platform

RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J., Nov. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Proving to be a leader in the POV camera space, Polaroid is now shipping the new Polaroid Cube+ Wi-Fi-enabled lifestyle action camera, just in time for holiday shopping.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151102/283144

In 2014, its predecessor, the Polaroid Cube lifestyle action camera, challenged the notion that action cameras were solely the tools of extreme sports enthusiasts. With its stylish, cube shape, fun colors and accessories, competitive features, and reasonable price-point, the Polaroid Cube opened up the market to everyday consumers and families wanting to capture life's moments in HD.

Now the Wi-Fi-enabled Polaroid Cube+ continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in the segment with pairing to smart devices. With the free Polaroid Cube+ iOS or Android app, users can access a viewfinder, control the camera and save images and videos directly to their tablets or phones. With better image resolution and improved memory and battery life, the Polaroid Cube+ Wi-Fi-enabled lifestyle action camera continues to innovate while remaining considerably more affordable than its competitors. Led by industrial designer Robert Brunner, the Polaroid Cube+ was designed by Ammunition, the design studio behind award-winning consumer brands like Adobe, Beats by Dre, Square, Lyft and Williams-Sonoma.

In addition to its new Wi-Fi capabilities, the Polaroid Cube+ lifestyle action camera features other upgrades including image stabilization, the ability to capture 8 megapixel still images, and video capabilities enhanced from 1080p to 1440p at 30 frames per second, all with simple one-button operation. The Polaroid Cube+ also boasts a memory slot to record up to 128GB (up from 64GB) using a MicroSD card (class 10). Users can record up to 107 minutes at 720p at 60 fps thanks to the high capacity battery. Mountable to almost anything, it's shockproof, weather-proof, splash-resistant, and ready for every kind of family adventure.

"We have a longstanding commitment to delivering fun, easy to use and instant capture products that evoke our brand's heritage but are relevant to today's digital consumer, without putting a large dent in their wallet," said Scott W. Hardy, President and CEO of Polaroid. "We brought the Polaroid Cube to market over a year ago, and since then have listened to the feedback we received from our consumers. With the holidays right around the corner, we are proud to meet your needs with a Wi-Fi-enabled lifestyle action camera so you can instantly capture and share your favorite moments wherever your adventures take you." 

With the launch of the Polaroid Cube+ Wi-Fi-enabled lifestyle action camera, Polaroid will also be introducing the Polaroid CUBE Club, a virtual community of amateur photographers and videographers uploading content for sharing and entering their work for prizes. The evergreen, user-generated contests run on social media channels and encourage participation at http://www.polaroidcube.com/cubeclub for Polaroid Cube users, Polaroid Cube+ users, and everyone else. Thematic "assignments" include seasonal and cultural elements. This holiday season Polaroid CUBE Club members are submitting entries to categories like Let's CU BE Spooky, Let's CU BE Thankful, Let's CU BE Festive and Let's CU BE Merry. Winners in each category receive a free Polaroid Cube+ bundle, which includes the camera and accessories.

"With the holiday season around the corner, we are excited to offer the Polaroid Cube+, perfect for capturing memories at holiday festivities and winter adventures," Hardy added. "Consumers are all about instant gratification and catching adventures off the cuff, enabling them to revisit memories. The Polaroid Cube+ is an essential everyday companion to be sure you never miss a minute."

The Polaroid Cube lifestyle action camera and Polaroid Cube+ Wi-Fi-enabled lifestyle action camera are offered by C&A Marketing, Inc., an authorized Polaroid licensee. The Polaroid Cube+ lifestyle action camera is now shipping internationally for $149.99 with a 128 GB Micro SD and bumper case. Additional accessories include the waterproof case, suction mount, tripod mount, helmet mount, bicycle mount, strap mount and the monkey stand, all ranging from $17.99 to $39.99.

WatchGuard Brings Security and Convenience to the Distributed Enterprise

Firebox T30 and T50 appliances deliver high-performance, enterprise-grade security from an easy to configure, deploy, and manage tabletop appliance that is perfect for franchise environments

SEATTLE, Nov. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --WatchGuard® Technologies, a leader in multi-function integrated security appliances, today announced the release of the Firebox T30 and T50 family of powerful, enterprise-strength Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliances engineered specifically to address the rapidly changing security threats faced by small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and Distributed Enterprises.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151102/283141

Faster, more widely accessible connectivity is enabling organizations to be more distributed than ever before. In addition to securing the communications between a traditional corporate headquarters and remote employee sites, many distributed enterprises must also support multiple locations which operate like a typical small business. This relationship between a centralized entity and many independent business locations is especially common in the retail, hospitality, medical, and financial industries and creates very unique network security challenges. For these organizations, centralized security policy is critical, as is the ease of deployment of the security solution at the remote business location. The ability to maintain visibility across their entire network is equally as important for compliance reporting, health monitoring, and business intelligence purposes. Access to value-added services, such as secure wireless, is also a huge benefit.

"Organizations are becoming increasingly decentralized and it is our responsibility to deliver security solutions to operate seamlessly within those distributed environments," said Andrew Young, vice president of product management, WatchGuard. "In addition to consolidating critical network and security functions into a single, centrally managed platform, we've made it our mission to make our solutions easy to deploy, easy to manage, and generally accessible to companies of all sizes."

WatchGuard's T- series of tabletop UTM appliances are ideal for remote sites, branch offices, and SMBs. Their small form factor makes them easy to conceal in environments where there is most likely not a dedicated datacenter and their new built-in power over Ethernet (PoE) port makes it easier than ever to add secure wireless services with a WatchGuard Access Point.

"NCR hosted solutions leverage WatchGuard for network security and to help ensure PCI compliance for thousands of installations in North America. For NCR, being able to get our hospitality customers up and running quickly and without heavy reliance on technical resources on site is critical," explains Dustin McCreight, product manager, Network and Security Services, NCR Corporation. "Installations used to take anywhere from 60-90 minutes per site. By standardizing on WatchGuard for network security, we were able to decrease the average installation time by more than 75 percent - now averaging anywhere from 15-20 per site. We just plug the appliance in, it establishes a connection and pulls the configuration file. We are then up and running; and free to focus our time on testing credit card processing and access to approved web sites."

All of WatchGuard's Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliances include access to the company's unique, RapidDeploy feature which enables centralized IT teams to pre-configure appliances for quick and non-technical installation at distributed remote sites. This feature is especially ideal for retailers, hospitality chains, healthcare co-ops, and other Distributed Enterprises. Also standard with all WatchGuard appliances is access to Dimension, the company's award-winning, actionable threat intelligence platform*. Dimension aggregates data from all WatchGuard appliances across a customer's network and translates that data into visually rich and actionable information. With Dimension, customers can easily see not only what is going on in their network but proactively take steps, faster than ever before, to update their security policy immediately, right from the reporting dashboards, to stop malicious sites, applications and users.

WatchGuard's Firebox T30 and T50

WatchGuard Firebox T30 and T50 consolidate the most important network and network security functions in one tabletop platform. Offered as both a wired and a wireless solution, the products provide high-performance, enterprise-grade network security to small and medium sized organizations and distributed enterprises alike.

    --  High Performance - Enhanced firewall speeds up to 1.2 Gbps and UTM
        security speeds up to 165 Mbps to enable modern encryption and usage
        trends.
    --  PoE Port for Easy Wi-Fi Upgrade - Eliminate the need to have AC power
        running to peripheral devices. All T30 and T50 products come standard
        with one Power over Ethernet (PoE) port, which allows the painless
        deployment of technology like access points or security cameras.
    --  Integrated 802.11ac Wireless - Enjoy faster, more reliable Wi-Fi with
        the latest 802.11 ac wireless standard is available on both the T30-W
        and T50-W models.
    --  Rapid Deploy - Preconfigure appliances for secure branch office/remote
        deployment without the need for technical staff to travel to deployment
        sites.
    --  Advanced Malware Detection - Catch malware that signature-only AV
        solutions miss. Next-generation sandboxing in the cloud with full system
        emulation (CPU and memory) provides visibility into every instruction
        that malware executes, not just the operating system calls, to expose
        evasive behavior that other sandbox solutions do not see.
    --  Actionable Threat Intelligence** - Leverage a centralized, real-time
        view into all network activity with the power to take immediate action
        against harmful sites and users.
    --  Crypto co-processing for SHA-2 - Increase performance while meeting
        compliance standards that require an upgrade from older crypto
        algorithms like SHA-1.

VTech® Introduces InnoTV(TM), Perfect Educational Gaming System for Preschoolers Offers Educator-Supported Learning Games for Under $70

Gaming System for Kids Encourages Family Participation with Multiplayer Games that Parents Can Even Play From Their Smartphones

CHICAGO, Nov. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today VTech® announces the availability of InnoTV(TM), an educational TV-connected gaming system designed with preschoolers in mind. VTech pioneered the standard for innovation in educational gaming a decade ago with the highly successful V.Smile® V.Motion® TV Learning Systems selling over 11 million worldwide. The company is continuing to revolutionize the way kids learn through play with the introduction of the cutting-edge InnoTV, the perfect first TV-based gaming system for kids. InnoTV features an easy-to-use wireless controller and a large number of learning games just for preschoolers that introduce language arts, math, science, STEM learning concepts and more, with access to a huge educator-supported library of additional games on VTech's Learning Lodge® app store, as well as compatibility with a variety of InnoTab® MAX cartridges*.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7679651-vtech-innotv-educational-gaming/

Educational Gaming for the Whole Family

"The family gaming console has found a welcome place in many family rooms for good reason," said Dr. Eric Klopfer, VTech Expert Panel member and Platform Learning Expert. "The console connected to the TV provides an interactive focal point for family gaming. Even when children are playing games targeted solely at them, the rest of the family has the opportunity to observe, question, suggest, and laugh with the child behind the controls. InnoTV brings that experience to younger children, with age appropriate and educational content. It also notably does so by providing ways of accessing existing content from other VTech products to make that initial jump even easier."

InnoTV comes with exciting, single-player, age-appropriate educational games, and also allows for multiple players, providing opportunities for social co-playing, important for preschoolers learning to share, cooperate and take turns. InnoTV includes both competitive and cooperative multiplayer games that are fun for the whole family (one remote can be shared, or use an additional controller, sold separately). Parents can play along from their smartphone or tablet, where they can also personalize their child's profile and customize the learning content in select games.

The kid-friendly controller is specifically designed for small hands, with special styling that makes it easy to use by both right- and left-handed kids. It offers a simple design for preschoolers developing fine motor skills, making it easier for them to manipulate than game controllers traditionally found on adult gaming consoles. The controller features a joystick, smart wheel and motion control so children can tilt and shake it to play select games. The smart wheel allows for even more engaging play experiences built into the games, such as the thrill of spinning a number wheel in the multiplayer board game to find out how many spaces you can move.

Educator-Supported Content for Learning Fun

InnoTV features built-in Wi-Fi for streaming and downloading additional games and extensive educational content from the Learning Lodge, with more than 100 titles rolling out by the end of the year. Additionally, it is compatible with select InnoTab library cartridges, further extending the play value.

The curriculum of each of the games lets kids progress at their own speed and level up with developmentally appropriate content. Many of the games align with Common Core curriculum standards, such as the Island Challenge game found in the Play and Learn Starter Pack bundle, allowing children to practice recognizing and spelling sight words, a popular curriculum. And because kids learn best when they're having fun, many new software titles feature popular characters preschoolers love, including Frozen, Paw Patrol, Miles from Tomorrowland, Sofia the First and Doc McStuffins.

"VTech has a rich history of award-winning educational products, including our original break-through TV learning system launched more than 10 years ago," said William To, President, VTech Electronics North America. "InnoTV combines the educational gaming format parents loved in V.Smile and radically updates it with the jumps in technology we've seen in the last decade, so there are no wires for preschoolers to get tangled and it's easy to download additional educator-supported learning content through the built-in Wi-Fi. We truly believe this is the best first gaming system for kids."

InnoTV features:

    --  InnoTV console with built-in Wi-Fi
    --  Wireless controller with smart wheel and wrist strap
    --  4 included learning games, plus free trials of additional games
    --  2 multiplayer games

Mentor Graphics Announces Availability of Vista Virtual Platform for Altera Arria 10 SoC FPGAs

WILSONVILLE, Ore., Nov. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the availability of the Vista(TM) virtual platforms for the Arria 10 system-on-chip (SoC) FPGA. The Vista virtual platforms are fully functional simulation models of processor subsystems and peripherals offered as freely downloadable pre-built binaries. These accelerate embedded software development across the entire product life cycle for significant time-to-market and product development cost savings. Additionally, Linux® runtime support is available from Rocketboards.org targeting the Arria 10 binary virtual platform. The combination of the Vista virtual platform and Linux makes for a powerful software-based development and test platform for embedded software engineers.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140317/AQ83812LOGO

The Vista virtual platforms enable embedded engineers to begin development and debug for pre-production devices like the Stratix 10 FPGA well before first silicon availability. The Virtual Platform binaries can be installed and run together with a pre-built Linux® image on a host PC. In addition, a model of custom functions in the FPGA fabric can be linked to the virtual platform for system-level simulation. The virtual platforms support both bare-metal/Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) and Linux operating system environments for software execution and debug on multi-core configurations of Altera SoCs. Vista virtual platforms offer advanced technologies including patent-pending, deep, non-intrusive access for software and hardware debug and profiling to substantially improve debug and analysis practices.

"We selected Mentor Graphics as the ideal partner because Mentor's advanced virtual platform solution results in higher productivity and greater quality code for our SoC FPGA customers," stated Chris Ballough, Altera senior director of marketing.  "Our technology partnership with Mentor lessens our customer's risks by accelerating embedded system development by identifying design issues that would be difficult or too late to find in the physical hardware."

In deep collaboration with Altera, Mentor Graphics will provide virtual platforms to support the Stratix 10 product family in the near future.

"We value our relationship with Altera, the leader in SoC FPGAs, and our collaboration has resulted in a comprehensive portfolio of SoC virtual platforms that simplifies hardware and software design for Altera customers," stated Guy Moshe, general manager of the Design Creation Business Unit within Mentor Graphics Embedded Systems Division. "Our virtual platform solution allows developers of Altera SoC FPGAs to realize increased performance, accuracy and cost savings, while dramatically accelerating their software development."

Beyond the Binary
The Vista virtual platforms are seamlessly integrated with the Sourcery(TM) CodeBench Virtual Edition and Analyzer tool to provide additional capabilities. Benefits include the visibility and control to debug and analyze complex software/hardware interactions and the ability to optimize the software to meet final product performance and power goals.

Using the Vista Architect tool, hardware and system engineers can gain access to the Altera hardware platform source and freely customize and manipulate the SoC and FPGA models. This capability is important to test, analyze, and explore various hardware configurations, peripherals alternatives, memory hierarchies, and resource utilization.   

Product Availability
The Vista virtual platforms for Altera SoC FPGAs are now available as a free binary download from the Mentor Graphics web site. For additional product information and the Vista virtual platform download, visit the website: go.mentor.com/altera.

EZ Trading Computers Releases High-Powered Ultra Fast Laptop For Trading

EZ Trading computers, committed to supplying traders with super fast, high quality computers for stock trading, releases a brand new upgraded model of the world's fastest laptop for trading. This upgrade brings to light their continuous effort to connect traders with the newest technology on the market.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- EZ Trading Computers strives to empower traders with the ability to trade with the power of a desktop while away from their home office. The Voyager EZ Trading Laptop packs the same lightning fast power of a desktop into a portable, compact computer.

Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20151102/282827

Upgraded features include the Intel Skylake Core i7-6700K desktop processor and up to 32GB RAM, this positions the Voyager as the laptop equivalent of a trading desktop computer - the first of its kind. The Voyagers features are built and tested to deliver a quality experience in any situation. Its HD resolution and Nvidia gaming graphics processor deliver a super sharp display that is ideal to view detailed stock charts. No detail goes unnoticed in this custom laptop - right down to its convenient backlit keyboard.

"The demand for a powerful laptop for trading is there, and no one was really solving the problem. Myself and my team have designed a fully custom laptop specifically with traders needs in mind. No one has done this before," said EZ Trading Computer's COO, Russ Hazelcorn, who is also known as Eddie Z.

"Our mission is to continuously supply our clients with the best technology suited for trading. Traders get stuck with limited options when it comes to laptops. Retailers cater their computer hardware to Students and Web Surfers. Traders need much more. When you've got tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of dollars on the line, you don't want to place risk on yourself with an underpowered machine. That's what trading is - managing risk. Your computer is part of that. Trading is not gambling, but trading on an underpowered computer really is gambling. There is no telling what will happen at any given moment when you max out on the computer's ability," explained Eddie Z.

About EZ Trading Computers:
EZ Trading Computers is a leading trading computer hardware company offering a one-stop shop for traders looking for ultimate trading system. The company specializes in super low prices, unique payment plans and extra long product warranties.  The company has several programs where traders can actually get their computers for free via rebates.  The company has built custom trading computers and complete trading system setups for forex traders, stock traders, futures traders, day traders, private equity funds, as well as hedge funds.  To find out more about EZ Trading Computers, visit http://eztradingcomputers.net/

Launching Inventive Earbuds that Light Up with Music or Movement

LONDON, Nov. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- iEC Technology (http://www.iectechnology.com) is about to launch their laser-light based Bluetooth stereophonic headsets on Kickstarter. This advisory is for journalists who would like to review the sample units before the campaign goes live in mid November.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151103/283203

About Shine:

These high-quality earbuds have an integrated smart-phone app (for iOS and Android phones). Through the app, users can control the mode with which they would like the laser-light based neck strap to glow. The three mode options are: glow in different colors based on the music that is playing; glowing based on the movements of the user - e.g. during workouts or runs; glowing based on breathing (Many colors are random). The way the neck strap glows can be further customized based on the sound waves themselves (crests, hollows) or power saving modes. For motion detection based glowing, the headset uses a G-sensor, 3-axis, counting steps, frequency, speed and time.

Shine is the first such headset designed to portray emotions and moods externally. The Bluetooth pairing with the phone can take place for up to 30 feet away, and it runs for up to seven hours of playtime for each charge. Charging time is 1.5 hours.

The earpiece comes with three ear hook sizes that can easily be switched. It is designed to be a comfortable fit that stays in the ears even when the users are running or playing sports, while avoiding any pressure-inducing sensations. It also has intuitive hardware controls for lights, volume and pausing/starting the music. If the user receives a call on their phone while the music is playing, the music and lights come to a halt, allowing the user to use the headset and microphone for the conversation.

The headset sound blocks out environmental noise effectively, and uses APTX technology for seamless streaming of CD quality audio to deliver powerful stereophonic sound quality.

Detailed Specs:

    --  Charging time: 1.5 hours
    --  Input: DC 5V 500 mA
    --  Size: 30 mm x 24 mm x 9.3 mm
    --  Music playback time: 7 hours
    --  Weight: 17 g
    --  Battery capacity: 3.7 V/120 mAh
    --  Operating distance: 10 meters
    --  Sound track: Stereophonic
About the Kickstarter Campaign:

The Kickstarter campaign will go live on November 16, 2015 for a duration of one month. Product prototypes and demo units have been tested, and an initial batch of review units are available for early users and reviewers. Kickstarter backers will get Shine for $79. Early bird packages will allow customers to get it for as low as $59 a unit. The campaign will include other interesting complementary product packages through partners, including T-shirt of Shine, Mini power bank and Armband Cell Phone Bag.

A complete set of photos can be downloaded here (http://bit.ly/1GIJHQM). Sample units may be available for selected publications. Please contact marketing@iectechnology.com for further information.

Delta-Q Technologies introduces new IC Series industrial battery chargers

Charging solutions provide superior reliability and charge quality for electric vehicles and industrial equipment

BURNABY, British Columbia, Nov. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta-Q Technologies today announced the introduction of two new IC Series battery charging solutions for use in electric vehicles and industrial equipment. The new IC900 and IC1200 Industrial Battery Chargers join the company's IC650 Charger to form a common charging platform for use across manufacturers' product lines.

Applications for IC Series chargers include electric lift trucks and automated guided vehicles (AGVs), scooters and motorcycles, floor care machines, aerial work platforms and utility vehicles. IC Series chargers provide the flexibility to charge either lead acid (wet/flooded, sealed AGM or gel) or lithium-ion batteries. The three models in the IC Series lineup provide 650, 900 and 1200 watts of DC output power, respectively, and all are available in 24-, 36- and 48-volt models.

IC Series chargers are validated for a long service life in challenging on-board applications and provide superior equipment uptime. Their IP66-rated ingress protection seals out dirt and fluids, while mechanical design and component selection help resist factors such as vibration, shock and temperature extremes. All Delta-Q chargers are made in a world-class facility for high-reliability solutions with very low defect rates.

Delta-Q is now accepting IC900 and IC1200 sample requests for delivery in December 2015, with full commercial production beginning in March 2016. Specifications for the chargers are available at Delta-Q.com.

"IC Series chargers meet the market's need for reliable battery chargers that enhance battery performance and long-term health," said Trent Punnett, vice president, product management and marketing at Delta-Q. "These products are particularly special because their ease of integration and options for customization allow manufacturers to build features around the chargers to differentiate their products and improve the end-user experience."

Delta-Q products provide "charge quality" for lithium-ion and lead acid batteries using charge profiles developed in Delta-Q's battery lab. These high-performance profiles balance battery life, longevity and charge time requirements. Delta-Q has commercialized more than 50 charge profiles, ensuring that users experience better runtime and flexibility for different battery chemistries.

Optional CAN bus communication enables a link between the charger and other components, providing for safe lithium-ion battery charging, and machine diagnostics and servicing information. IC Series chargers store charge cycle data which is accessible using their built-in USB host port. Through the host port, software updates and new charge profiles can be installed using a pre-programmed USB flash drive.

All IC Series chargers have a wide AC input range and are usable on any single-phase electrical grid worldwide. The IC650 holds broad regulatory approvals and identical approvals are intended for the IC900 and IC1200.

About Delta-Q Technologies

Delta-Q Technologies is a leading provider of battery charging solutions that improve the performance and reliability of electric drive vehicles and industrial equipment. The company has become the supplier of choice to many of the world's leading manufacturers of electric golf cars, lift trucks, aerial work platforms, motorcycles and scooters, floor care machines, and utility and recreational vehicles.

Birch Releases Rental Phone Program for TotalCloud® PBX

Birch provides a way for businesses to more affordably deploy advanced phone systems.

ATLANTA, Nov. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Birch Communications, Inc., ("Birch") a leading nationwide provider of communications, network and cloud services to small, mid-sized, enterprise and wholesale businesses, announced today the availability of a flexible and affordable rental program for SIP desktop and conference phones for current and new TotalCloud PBX business customers.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20110606/CG14010LOGO

Birch's rental phone program allows business customers, at any stage of their lifecycle, to obtain best-in-class phones with no upfront capital cost, easily upgrade system hardware and enable them to expand their system as their business grows. Pre-configured phones arrive ready to plug and play into Birch's state-of-the-art cloud phone system -- TotalCloud PBX.  The rental program provides customers with a lifetime warranty on equipment and the flexibility to easily upgrade their system hardware with the latest developments in SIP desktop technology. 

With the new offering, Birch provides customers more options than any other provider and gives them the flexibility to select the best phone system payment plan for their business. They can now benefit from a more affordable monthly rental phone option as an alternative to other payment options the company offers. Other available options include purchasing handsets outright or over a 24-month period, or using their existing devices through Birch's "bring your own device" program.

Moving a business's phone service to the cloud offers many advantages - it eliminates the high costs of maintaining on-premise equipment, reduces operating expenses, provides business continuity, and enables mobile connectivity. TotalCloud PBX is a robust enterprise-class phone system that provides customers with a rich feature set, enabling businesses of any size access to products previously only within reach of very large companies.  And with its recently enhanced web-based customer portal, TotalCloud PBX provides flexibility for a business to create and edit seat profiles, phones, auto attendants and hunt groups, set up and modify calling features such as call forwarding, view call capacity, and much more. 

"Our rental program enables customers to minimize the cost of moving to a cloud-based phone system. We've removed the significant financial obstacles by substantially lowering the initial cost of entry that comes with deploying a new phone system," said David Gibson, Vice President of Business Development at Birch. "Customers can now opt for rental, payment plan, purchased or a BYOD phone option-- which is a real benefit.  Businesses can focus their dollars on growing their business, not on maintaining their own phone system."

Birch Communications, Inc. is a leading communications, network, cloud and IT solutions provider. Recognized for exceptional customer experience, Birch delivers compelling solutions that assist small, mid-sized, enterprise and wholesale businesses to increase their productivity.

Bosch Highlights New MEMS Sensors and Innovative Sensor-Enabled Applications

MEMS Executive Congress US 2015: November 4-5th

STUTTGART, Germany and NAPA VALLEY, California, November 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

       
        - World-leading MEMS sensor supplier has manufactured more than six billion MEMS
          devices
        - High quality, high performance MEMS products for consumer and automotive applications
        - Bosch eBike Systems highlights functionality made possible by sensors during the MEMS
          and Sensors Technology Showcase

    At the upcoming MEMS Executive Congress, Bosch, the world's leading supplier of MEMS
sensors, will be showing how customers benefit when a group of companies, all under one
umbrella, share their deep technical expertise in both tiny MEMS sensors as well as in
larger, more complex systems.  

    The latest MEMS products from Bosch continue to demonstrate how the experience from
its 20 years of high volume MEMS production is keeping the company at the forefront of
MEMS innovation.

       
        - The BMF055 MEMS sensor from Bosch Sensortec is the industry's first custom,
          programmable 9-axis motion sensor with accompanying software which provides customers
          with a simplified method of integrating sophisticated sensor fusion functionality.
        - The AKU151 and AKU350 ultra high performance MEMS microphones from Akustica combine
          new ASIC design elements, a new MEMS architecture and fabrication process, and new and
          innovative packaging technologies into two microphones with industry-leading
          performance for mobile and wearable applications.
        - The new SMA130 from Bosch, which leverages packaging technology initially designed by
          Bosch for consumer applications, is the world's smallest triaxial acceleration sensor
          for automotive applications.

    Each of these new MEMS sensors is a testament to the unique advantage of being a part
of Bosch, where each individual company can leverage the full depth and breadth of overall
Group's expertise in MEMS modeling, design, and manufacturing. This allows all Bosch units
to quickly respond to their own customer's requirements by using newly developed
technology and adapting older technology to deliver new and innovative MEMS products for
diverse end markets.  

    Decades of technological innovation in MEMS and sensors at Bosch also reach to other
Bosch units who focus on integrating sensors into more complex systems. As an example,
Bosch eBike Systems has integrated a Bosch microprocessor and three sensors which measure
a bicyclist's torque, cadence, and wheel speed 1,000 times per second. These precision
sensors combined with sophisticated algorithms that calculate the optimal electric assist
for the rider are what makes the eBike experience feel smooth and completely natural.
Bosch eBike Systems is a finalist in the MEMS and Sensors Technology Showcase which will
be held on Wednesday, November 4th and Congress attendees will also have an opportunity to
experience these features for themselves on this day.

    Presented by the MEMS Industry Group, the MEMS Executive Congress US 2015 brings
together leaders from the field of MEMS and sensors. The event takes place on November 4th
and 5th in Napa, California.

About G-SHOCK
CASIO's shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch is synonymous with toughness, born from the developer Mr. Ibe's dream of 'creating a watch that never breaks'. Over 200 handmade samples were created and tested to destruction until finally in 1983 the first, now iconic G-SHOCK hit the streets of Japan and began to establish itself as 'the toughest watch of all time'. Each watch encompasses the 7 elements; electric shock resistance, gravity resistance, low temperature resistance, vibration resistance, water resistance, shock resistance and toughness. The watch is packed with Casio innovations and technologies to prevent it from suffering direct shock; this includes internal components protected with urethane and suspended timekeeping modules inside the watch structure. Since its launch, G-SHOCK has continued to evolve, continuing to support on Mr. Ibe's mantra "never, never give up".

Splora Takes on Telemarketers & Robocalls

A telecommunications company that empowers consumers by blocking nuisance calls

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Splora, a San Francisco based telephone company announces today it will cooperate with the FCC to bring an end to unwanted telemarketer calls and robocalls in particular.  As of next month, Splora will provide accurate and timely information to the FCC that will enable the FCC to prosecute offenders.

Splora has developed an app that allows a consumer to block an incoming unwanted call by simply pushing a button on their mobile phone. The app then engages the telemarketer in conversation (via an interactive recorded message) to determine the company they are representing and where they are located.

During this process, the Splora platform traces the real origin of the call (defeating the spoofing of numbers used by telemarketers to avoid detection) and then advises the telemarketer that their call has been recorded. The telemarketers real number is then obtained and the information will be forwarded to the FCC for further investigation. Provision of this information in real time to the FCC will enable the Commission to take action with accurate evidence. The service will also be available to protect land line services.

CEO of Splora, Terry Crews states, "Power to the user at last! Over the last 5 decades I have worked within the telecommunications industry and have seen the way consumers have been treated by telephone companies first hand. It's refreshing to see that the FCC is taking action to stop the nuisance calls. I hate telemarketer calls and I'm not the only one! Complaints about telemarketers are by far the largest number of complaints received by the FCC daily".

"Around the world, regulators have tried many times without success to stop unwanted calls. The 'Do Not Call' list was one attempt to stop them. This fails as foreign call centers do not abide by the rules and many actually use the list to generate calls."

Crews adds, "Technology created the problem by enabling telemarketers to randomly call telephone numbers, now it is up to technology to act on behalf of the consumer to give us back uninterrupted precious moments."

"For too long we have been subjected to unwanted calls from telemarketers and their partner in crime is the phone companies that supply them with the tools and lines to carry out such calls. The big phone companies won't act as it is a valuable revenue source for them. With Splora, we will relentlessly pursue them."

The Splora app is free and also allows free calls, chat and video calls between users. It was developed by Terry Crews a veteran of over 50 years in the communications industry who is passionate about handing power back to the user in his fight against big phone companies and telemarketers.

Splora will launch in the US on the 17th November 2015, for further information: http://www.splora.com
