Brainzsquare Releases SECUDRIVE File Server 6.0, a Data Leakage Prevention Solution which Supports Enterprise Environments including Cloud

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Brainzsquare, Inc. has launched SECUDRIVE File Server 6.0 (FS 6.0), the latest version of their data leakage prevention solution for shared files. In addition to its protection for SMB protocol through the local network, WebDAV protocol through the internet is now supported as well. It means that FS 6.0 has now become available with public cloud services such as MS Azure or Amazon EC2 without the need of a VPN. Furthermore, FS 6.0 is compatible with DFS and Windows Server Failover Cluster environments in order to support enterprise system architectures.

For situations when files need to be transported out of the server, FS 6.0 provides an encrypted export feature where the file can only be decrypted on one of SECUDRIVE's securely managed USB drives such as the copy-protected, SECUDRIVE USB Office+. FS 6.0 has also made sure to include data leakage protection features when sharing through a file or folder link allowing users to maintain their normal workflow with advanced security.

FS 6.0 proactively prevents unauthorized copying, printing, screen capture, and network transfers of critical files within the securely shared folders. In order to allow for easy implementation, preexisting users, groups, and shared folder information are detected automatically. Shared folders are transformed into 'securely shared folders' and user rights can be easily managed by user or by groups. All activity is recorded and the events can be filtered and sorted by file activity for auditing purposes.

"File servers are being used to store and share important information in many organizations. Unfortunately, though information security managers would like to increase security on their servers to regulate internal and external threats, many have hesitated due to security solutions impeding work efficiency. Luckily, SECUDRIVE File Server 6.0 will allow them to transparently and proactively protect against those threats while minimizing any inconveniences which are often coupled with higher tiers of security," said Simon Kang, the CEO of Brainzsquare, Inc.

With A focus on Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring, Modoo Rolls out A Solution for Pregnant Women

BEIJING, Oct. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The addition of the ability to monitor the fetal heartbeat through Airstrip, a healthcare app now available on the Apple Watch, shows that wearable device makers are expanding beyond their initial target markets of sports fans and early adopters and geeks by beginning to create products that cater to pregnant women's demand.

With a higher level of focus on fetal heart rate monitoring, Modoo Fetus Monitoring Patch, a new wearable device, will debut in the U.S. soon. The new device features an entirely different approach to heart rate monitoring as compared to that of an Apple Watch.

Modoo Fetus Monitoring Patch, a wearable device developed by a Chinese startup ExtantFuture, enables continuous monitoring of the fetal heart rate and movement 24/7 as well as the sign data such as sleep quality of mothers-to-be. Unlike watch wristbands available in the market, Modoo is a round flat metal device and weighs as light as an Apple earphone cord. The device is worn on the mother's belly for monitoring.

William Zhou, the director of Modoo's hardware development and a former top hardware and system expert at Nokia, said: "Modoo helps pregnant women with secure monitoring of the baby's heart rate and movement 24/7, without interrupting or influencing the normal life of mothers-to-be, a feature that is absent from all other mobile devices. As a result, this is an ideal solution that adds a lot of convenience to the daily routine for pregnant women."

Apple Watch monitors the heart rate via an electro-optical sensor, a technology that has limitations, according to technology experts after monitoring the sector. It still remains unknown whether AirStrip's new system is sufficiently accurate for doctors and medical personnel who need to keep track of the fetal heart rate. ExtantFuture is more confident in Modoo.

Following months of research and development, ExtantFuture has developed a passive monitoring mode, which helps ensure secure monitoring of the heart rate of babies and pregnant women via a highly sensitive sensor and an intelligent algorithm rather than transmitting signals in an active mode. And, Modoo is in closer proximity to the fetal heart, another factor contributing to the more accurate monitoring data.

ExtantFuture's Founder Jiliang Ma noted that pregnant women, a unique group, are easily and always concerned for the health conditions of themselves and their babies. "We know that what pregnant women seek is the feeling of being cared for. For this reason, except the essentials, we insisted on creating and designing a small and compact wearable device as a companion for pregnant women and their family members."

Vivante Vision Image Processor to Power Mass Market Surveillance Camera and Automotive Applications

Algorithm-Level Programmability(TM) Approaches Fixed Function Power, Performance and Area Efficiency

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivante® Corporation announces the immediate availability of the VIP7000 family of Vision Image Processor IP cores. The VIP7000 has been designed into a range of products from a mass market IoT surveillance client SoC to an automotive imaging application. The VIP7000 features Algorithm-Level Programmability where the basic element of application development is at the algorithmic level rather than the arithmetic level. This model provides performance and power consumption approaching fixed function with rapid adaptation for new or updated applications. Contrasted with arithmetic-level approaches, applications can be developed more quickly and consistently with less silicon area and power consumption.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20091008/VIVANTELOGO

"The challenges we see in the IoT camera market are the conflicting demands for small silicon area and a growing set of feature requirements. For example, the analytics requirements for cloud aggregation in a retail environment versus a parking structure are typically distinct," said Shanghung Lin, Vivante's Director of Vision Algorithm and Application Research and Development. "The market requires a solution that is silicon-efficient and adaptable to both varied and unanticipated use cases. Algorithm-Level Programmability is a technology that not only provides a solution to these challenges, but reduces the complexity of application development and enables Vivante to deliver advanced capabilities such as deep neural networks."

In areas such as computer vision, where both applications and algorithms are evolving, the cost and time required to implement new silicon is increasing. This challenge is compounded by sensor and screen resolutions increasing more rapidly than on-chip resources. The VIP7000 architecture provides both configurable instructions and hardware acceleration elements to enable new functionality in existing silicon. VIP7000 provides a method to incorporate parallel computing advances in software rather than new silicon. The VIP family features a stream interface, which enables algorithm optimization across module boundaries. For example, the VIP low latency stream interface enables the insertion of a programmable vision module into the fixed function image signal processing (ISP) pipeline.

"We developed the VIP family of products to address the challenges of both mass market IoT and automotive applications that were underserved by existing technology," said Wei-Jin Dai, president and CEO of Vivante. "Vivante made a major commitment to computer vision solutions several years ago. The enthusiasm of our lead partners has been both gratifying and a validation of our strategy and the reward for our investment in this segment."

Vivante's VIP family was one of the first to pass the OpenVX(TM) conformance test. The industry is rapidly adopting OpenVX as a standard API for vision programming. OpenVX and OpenCL(TM) are important API standards helping to expand the computer vision ecosystem and are a key component in the VIP product family.

IMSAR's Collision-Avoidance Radar for Small UAS Expected to be Available Late 2016

SPRINGVILLE, Utah, Oct. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- IMSAR LLC is developing a family of extremely small collision-avoidance radar systems targeted for small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) and is on track to perform airborne demonstrations of its first prototype systems by the end of 2015. The family of radar systems will provide collision-avoidance capabilities to small UASs, also known as drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), ranging from package-delivery quadcopters to military Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms, such as AAI's Shadow and Insitu's ScanEagle. IMSAR is designing the collision-avoidance radar systems based on its current 1-lb NanoSAR and is planning to offer them at a cost in line with small UASs. The initial model of IMSAR's collision-avoidance radar should be available for sale in late 2016.

According to Dr. Britton Quist, Lead of IMSAR's collision-avoidance development, "Radar is ideally suited for the sense-and-avoid problem because it can operate effectively at night and in low-visibility conditions, such as clouds, fog, smoke, and precipitation. This is a capability unmatched by optical, acoustic, infrared, or LiDAR sensors."

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States currently requires an aircraft operating in civil airspace to be able to "see and avoid" other aircraft. Collision-avoidance systems seek to meet this requirement by allowing UASs to detect other airborne objects, predict potential midair collisions, and automatically maneuver the UAS to avoid catastrophes. This capability is often referred to as "sense and avoid" or "detect and avoid." A radar-based, sense-and-avoid solution for small UASs was previously not viable due to the high cost, the low weight, and the complex technology and algorithms required for such a system, but IMSAR's solution addresses those concerns. IMSAR's family of collision avoidance systems will enable small UASs to avoid midair collisions as well as manned aircraft, which will pave the way for the integration of UASs into civil airspace around the world.

Adam Robertson, Vice President at IMSAR, said, "As the producer of the NanoSAR, the world's smallest ISR radar system for UASs, IMSAR is in a unique position to fill a gap in current technology by providing a radar-based, collision-avoidance solution for small UASs."

IMSAR LLC is a privately owned research, development, and manufacturing company located in Springville, UT, that specializes in lightweight, low-power Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) devices and radar image processing. The first version of IMSAR's NanoSAR system was developed in 2008. Since then, IMSAR has continued to enhance the capability and reduce the size of its flagship radar system.

Vapor Communications Unveils oCase With New Healthcare Partnership As Company Moves To Commercially Digitize Scent In Spring 2016

Announcement of oCase, oMenu & Healthcare Partnership with CATCH

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Vapor Communications, a technology startup building a software and hardware scent communication platform, announced the next phase in its effort to commercially digitize scent for consumers. Core to this latest phase of development is the oCase, a new technology that enables consumers to receive scent signals from a specially designed protective case for a tablet device or smart phone.

The oCase is a basis of Vapor Communication's new partnership with CATCH (Center for Assessment Technology and Continuous Health), co-founded and led by Dennis Ausiello, Jackson Distinguished Professor of Clinical Medicine, Harvard Medical School Physician in Chief, Emeritus, Department of Medicine, Mass General.  Ausiello plans to use the oCase, and the entire oPlatform, to interrogate the relationship between scent experience, phenotype, and disease, to pave the way toward a better understanding of continuous health.

"With oCase we are bringing scent delivery precisely to the nose, in the way that headsets bring sound precisely to the ears," says Vapor Communications co-founder, David Edwards.  "This will be critical to the emergence of scent messaging, the experience of oBooks, and finally the relevance of olfactory communication to human health.  We are thrilled to be working with Dr. Ausiello and his brilliant team at CATCH."

"The olfactory nerve, which is the pathway through which we detect smell, is the only sensory nerve with direct access to the brain, through an area called the olfactory bulb," says Dennis Ausiello. "The response to scent, in turn, may modify disparate functions in health and disease including metabolism, memory and cognition. We believe that by using an accurate, mobile, digital scent delivery platform such as the oPlatform with the new oCase, we will be able to study relationships between health state and scent sensitivity, and possibly develop a whole new generation of therapies involving scent to influence a range of metabolic and cognitive diseases."

In addition to the CATCH partnership, Vapor is exploring other uses for the oCase, which will be on display for the first time during a special October 7 dinner held in honor of the Catalan chef Ferran Adria at Café ArtScience in Cambridge, Mass. and sponsored by MIT's Solve program. The oCase will be used to present the world's first oMenu, the latest form of Vapor Communication's oBook technology, first shared in the spring and summer of 2015 at the Museum of the Moving Image. Invented by David Edwards, designed by Millimetre in Paris, and infused with over 30 unique scents created by master perfumer Christophe Laudamiel, the oCase will feature a special Pine Nut scent created by Vapor Communication partner International Flavors & Fragrances, IFF.

The oCase makes scent signaling precise, repeatable, and long lasting. The current standard for scent interrogation in human clinical studies is the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), which is based on scratch-and-sniff technology.  oCase releases scent without user contact with the scent source, from sustained-release resins embedded in the tablet case.  Users touch the case when directed by the tablet, and liberate the scent, which is released at a steady rate over many months of continued use.  With oCase, scent delivery, and diagnostics, can be digitized using oNotes and other scent-based apps, including those that share oBooks and oMedia.

Following the launch of the oCase, Vapor Communications will launch oNotes 2.0 in the coming weeks. Available for iPhone and iPad, oNotes 2.0 fuses the company's oSnap app into oNotes 1.0 to provide a single app from which users can create, store, and play scent-tagged images, or oNotes, many thousands of which have been created by users all over the world during the last year.  Now users will be able to make more oNotes, arrange these oNotes in their personal oNote library, and play these oNotes on oPhone Duo. The Duo, first announced in the spring 2014, will become commercially available via onotes.com beginning late November 2015.

Polk Audio Launches MagniFi One Home Theater Sound Bar with Dialogue Enhancing Technology

Sound Bar System Delivers Clear, Immersive Audio No Matter Where You Sit in a Room

VISTA, Calif., Oct. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Polk Audio, a high-performance audio brand with over a 40-year legacy of sound engineering and design expertise, has announced the availability of its newest home theater sound bar, the MagniFi One ($299.99), featuring dialogue-enhancing technologies and new Night mode. Complementing Polk's popular MagniFi sound bar, which included the company's patent-pending VoiceAdjust(TM) technology, the MagniFi One continues the tradition adding both Sports and Night modes to guarantee a superior listening experience no matter the type of content.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151006/274786

"When enjoying entertainment like sports, action movies or popular TV shows, listeners want to be immersed in the excitement while still being able to experience clear dialog," said Michael Greco, global brand director, Polk Audio. "Our design team focused on creating a streamlined yet adaptive user experience with efficient set-up, a choice of different modes based on the listener's preference and the ability to intelligibly adjust audio based on what people are watching. Consequently, the MagniFi One's greatest virtue is its audio enhancing features for our users' ever-changing and varied listening preferences--a goal central to Polk Audio's design philosophy."

As Polk's latest home theater sound bar offering, the MagniFi One delivers room-filling sound with built-in bass drive technology that improves lower midrange, upper bass and tonal richness. Its VoiceAdjust(TM) technology dramatically increases vocals independent of program material and volume level to provide clean, crisp dialogue whether sitting directly in front of the TV or off to the side. With separate controls for Voice, Bass, and Master Volume via a simple, easy-to-use remote, listeners can enjoy music, movies and games with unmatched levels of clarity. When it comes to less disruptive listening, MagniFi One's Night mode drops the low frequency response of the sound bar and sub's driver array, reducing the amount of sound that carries into nearby rooms--so users don't disturb others. In addition, the MagniFi One features sound bar and subwoofer time alignment, meaning that it recognizes when subwoofer signals are transmitted wirelessly to make measures for the acoustic output to arrive time-coherently.

In designing the MagniFi One, Polk's engineers focused on keeping the sound bar and wireless subwoofer as slim and unobtrusive as possible. Sitting at just under 2-inches tall, the sound bar houses two 3-by-1-inch full range drivers, built-in critically tuned bass ports and Dolby Digital® decoding. MagniFi One also has an optical input, one analog input, keyhole slots for wall mounting and rubber feet to reduce vibration and scuffs for setting atop a table or entertainment center. The sound bar and wireless subwoofer system takes minutes to setup with limited extraneous cables and complex operation. Finally, the system's Bluetooth and SmartBar(TM) capabilities allow seamless integration with your cable box or TV's existing IR remote while delivering quality sound from your smartphone, tablet or other compatible device.

CEVA Introduces Deep Neural Network Framework to Accelerate Machine Learning Deployment in Low-Power Embedded Systems

CDNN software framework, in conjunction with the CEVA-XM4 imaging and vison DSP, enables:

- Real-time object recognition and vision analytics

- Lowest power deep learning solution for embedded systems: 30x lower power and 3x faster processing when compared to leading GPU-based systems

- 15x average memory bandwidth reduction compared to typical neural network implementations

- Automatic conversion from offline pre-trained networks to real-time embedded-ready networks

- Flexibility to support various neural network structures, including any number and type of layers

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Linley Processor Conference 2015 -- CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of DSP IP platforms for cellular, multimedia and connectivity, has today introduced the CEVA Deep Neural Network (CDNN), a real-time neural network software framework, to streamline machine learning deployment in low-power embedded systems. Harnessing the processing power of the CEVA-XM4 imaging & vision DSP, the CDNN enables embedded systems to perform deep learning tasks 3x faster than the leading GPU-based systems while consuming 30x less power and requiring 15x less memory bandwidth*. For example, running a Deep Neural Network (DNN) based pedestrian detection algorithm at 28nm requires less than 30mW for a 1080p 30 frames per second video stream.

Key to the performance, low power and low memory bandwidth capabilities of CDNN is the CEVA Network Generator, a proprietary automated technology that converts a customer's network structure and weights to a slim, customized network model used in real-time. This enables a faster network model which consumes significantly lower power and memory bandwidth, with less than 1% degradation in accuracy compared to the original network. Once the customized embedded-ready network is generated, it runs on the CEVA-XM4 imaging and vision DSP using fully optimized Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) layers, software libraries and APIs.

Phi Algorithm Solutions, a member of CEVA's CEVAnet partner program, has used CDNN to implement a CNN-based Universal Object Detector algorithm for the CEVA-XM4 DSP. This is now available for application developers and OEMs to run a variety of applications including pedestrian detection and face detection for security, ADAS and other embedded devices based around low-power camera-enabled systems.

"The CEVA Deep Neural Network framework provided a quick and smooth path from offline training to real-time detection for our convolutional neural network based algorithms," said Steven Hanna, president and co-founder at Phi Algorithm Solutions. "In a matter of days we were able to get an optimized implementation of our unique object detection network, while significantly reducing power consumption compared to other platforms. The CEVA-XM4 imaging & vision DSP together with the CDNN framework is ideal for embedded vision devices and paves the way to advances in artificial intelligence devices in the coming years using deep learning techniques."

"With more than 20 design wins to-date, we continue to lead the industry in the embedded vision processor domain and are constantly enhancing our portfolio of vision IP offerings to help our customers get to market quicker with minimal risk," said Eran Briman, vice president of marketing at CEVA. "Our new Deep Neural Network framework for the CEVA-XM4 is the first of its kind in the embedded industry, providing a significant step forward for developers looking to implement viable deep learning algorithms within power-constrained embedded systems."

The CDNN software framework is supplied as source code, extending the CEVA-XM4's existing Application Developer Kit (ADK). It is flexible and modular, capable of supporting either the complete CNN implementation or specific layers. It works with various networks and structures, such as networks developed with Caffe, Torch or Theano training frameworks, or proprietary networks. CDNN includes real-time example models for image classification, localization and object recognition. It is intended to be used for object and scene recognition, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), Artificial intelligence (AI), video analytics, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and similar computer vision applications. For more information on CDNN, go to http://launch.ceva-dsp.com/cdnn/.

On November 12(th), CEVA will host a live webinar on implementing machine vision in embedded systems, including a deep dive into CDNN. For more information and to register for the webinar, visit http://bit.ly/1hoam9p.

CEVA will also present CDNN at the Linley Processor Conference 2015, taking place today in Santa Clara, California. For more information, visit the Linley Processor Conference website at: http://www.linleygroup.com/events/event.php?num5.

Our new Pioneer multimedia receivers have been developed to leverage this trend, providing a seamless in-car entertainment experience that is both intuitive and immersive," said Mr. Isao Nomura, Deputy General Manager of Business Planning and Marketing Division, Pioneer Electronics AsiaCentre.

The following key enhancements are available for the 2016 models:

BETTER THAN CD-QUALITY MUSIC

FLAC lossless audio support[1] lets both drivers and passengers enjoy higher-quality music playback[2], which is sonically superior compared with MP3 and CDs. Not only can FLAC retain all the nuances and dynamism of an original studio recording, it also packs a significantly higher resolution for enhanced clarity -- at up to 24-bit/48KHz for the 2016 Pioneer multimedia receivers.

In terms of file size, FLAC is 50% to 60% smaller than uncompressed WAV files, allowing more songs to be fitted into the same USB storage devices and smartphones.

ACCESS MILLIONS OF SONGS VIA SPOTIFY

A ubiquitous USB (iOS) or Bluetooth (Android) connection is all that is required for Spotify to work with compatible smartphones on Pioneer's new 2016 multimedia receivers[3]. Once connected, users in Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines can access over 30 million songs on Spotify[4]; users can conveniently browse, search and select songs directly from either the receiver or phone.

CLEARER, WIDE-ANGLE SCREEN

Now equipped with an improved ClearType resistive touchscreen promising better visual quality, users will be able to operate the head unit, play movies or navigate effortlessly and clearly at most viewing angles and under bright daylight conditions. As part of the overall screen upgrade, the wallpaper has been updated with refreshingly new graphics as well.

DIRECT CONTROL AT YOUR FINGER TIP

Steering wheel control[5] module lets drivers safely operate the receiver, including answering phone calls, without taking their hands off the steering wheel. What's more, holding the onboard mute button can further activate a nifty voice recognition function.

UNINTERRUPTED TV PROGRAMMES ON-THE-GO

Never miss a TV show with the latest GEX-2850DVB2[6] TV receiver, powered by a dual-diversity chipset for stable reception over a longer distance and at high speed, successfully tested by Pioneer at a range of up to 80km from the broadcasting station in a car travelling at around 140km/h.[7]

The GEX-2850DVB2 Dual Diversity DVB-T2 TV Receiver can also directly record TV programmes to a USB storage device, and is controllable using the receiver's touchscreen for truly stress-free and smooth operations.

MARKET-LEADING SMARTPHONE INTEGRATION

The following are more innovative features of Pioneer receivers to take full advantage of the latest smartphones:

    --  AppRadio Mode and AppRadioLIVE[8] -- Pioneer's free application to view
        and control third-party utilities, navigational aids and social networks
        installed on iOS and Android smartphones, utilising the receiver's
        touchscreen. AppRadio Mode is also compatible with AppRadioLIVE, which
        aggregates maps, music, news and events into four interactive quadrants
        on screen.   Moreover, car owners can conveniently connect their
        smartphones to the receivers using a regular USB cable, eliminating
        costly and complicated setups previously required. Additional cabling
        options are also available.[9]

    --  MIXTRAX -- Pioneer's revolutionary MIXTRAX®[10] virtual DJ technology
        transforms a music library into a nonstop DJ mix, inserting transitions
        and effects automatically to string together tunes from an iPhone, iPod
        or USB storage device. To truly recreate a club experience, users can
        also set the illumination and display to pulsate and change colour,
        according to the tempo and intensity of the music.
    --  Comprehensive Bluetooth functions -- All Bluetooth-enabled Pioneer
        receivers feature Two-Phone Bluetooth Pairing capability, allowing up to
        two phones to be connected simultaneously for hands-free voice calls.
        With Wireless Audio Browsing[11], drivers can also search their music
        library via the head unit display without touching their iOS and Android
        smartphone[12], providing greater user convenience and a safer drive.

New Pioneer Speakers and Amplifier Promise Superior Sonics and Durability

SINGAPORE, Oct. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Pioneer Electronics AsiaCentre, a leader in aftermarket car audio, today released its latest A-Series speakers and Champion-Series amplifier, promising greater sound quality, durability and set-up flexibility.

http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20151006/8521506559-a

The 2016 line-up consists of nine models, boasting a maximum music power handling from 300W to 650W - the TS-A1606C and TS-A1306C component speaker packages with tweeters, woofers and crossover, plus the TS-A6996S, TS-A6986S, TS-A6976S, TS-A6966S, TS-A1686S, TS-A1676S and TS-A1376S standard (coaxial) 3- to 5-way speakers. Also available is the new GM-D9605 Champion-Series amplifier, Pioneer's first 5-channel kit with Class FD technology.

"Hi-Res Audio files and high-quality music sources have significantly higher detail and clarity, which are often lost when played back through lacklustre car stereos. Our new A-Series speakers and Champion-Series amplifier are developed to faithfully reproduce every nuance of a sound track, regardless of the music genre and volume level for a truly engaging listening experience," said Mr. Isao Nomura, Deputy General Manager of Business Planning and Marketing Division, Pioneer Electronics AsiaCentre.

http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20151006/8521506559-b

The following are the key enhancements for these 2016 products:

IMPACTFUL TUNES - HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE

http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20151006/8521506559-c

Now with an increased dynamic range and linearity, users will be able to hear and feel deeper bass, in addition to smoother and extended treble.

The accurate reproduction of lower frequency notes is made possible thanks to a more rigid Multi-layer Mica Matrix (MMM) woofer cone, which is employed throughout the entire range. The TS-A6996S and TS-A6986S also feature an improved high-frequency tweeter, leveraging a new Direct Drive Diaphragm (DDD) technology.

http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20151006/8521506559-d

PLAY TUNES LOUD, WITHOUT SOUNDING HARSH

The TS-A6996S, TS-A6986S, TS-A6976S, TS-A6966S and TS-A1676S can handle up to 10 percent more power than their predecessors, enabling a higher peak reproducible volume at minimal distortion.

ATTRACTIVELY STYLED AND MADE TO LAST

Complementing the stylish design of these speakers is a new full-face mesh grille, used by the TS-A6996S, TS-A6986S, TS-A6976S and TS-A6966S to prevent dust from entering the units, which can damage the internal components.

A PERFECT MATCH FOR THESE SPEAKERS

The GM-D9605 Champion-Series amplifier offers an unparalleled level of flexibility, easily configurable to either 2 or 4 channels with both line-level speaker and pre-out audio input. Besides supporting up to 4 speakers, it is also equipped with a dedicated subwoofer (sub) output and variable low-pass filter, ensuring a seamless integration of the speakers and sub.

Another highlight is its class FD technology, which is extremely efficient and accounts for the amplifier's compact size, while delivering amazingly high power output.

INNOVATIVE SOUND TECHNOLOGIES

Here are other proprietary Pioneer technologies, which demonstrate the brand's commitment to deliver the finest sound quality:

Speakers

    --  Progressive Flex Suspension System (PFSS) - Originally developed for the
        flagship PRS-Series, PFSS further enhances bass performance and
        durability of the TS-A6996S, TS-A6986S, TS-A6976S, TS-A6966S,TS-A1686S
        and TS-A1606C speakers.
Amplifier

    --  Total Vibration Control (TVC) concept - TVC minimises the detrimental
        impact of vibration like signal distortion, which is a common issue in
        an automotive environment and can potentially affect the sound.
http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20151006/8521506559-e

    --  Automatic Signal Sensing and Turn-On - Once an active signal has been
        detected, this function will automatically select the relevant input and
        switch on the amplifier to initiate music playback.
    --  Protection Control System - Designed to bolster reliability, this system
        reduces the risk of damage due to an overly high input power, by sensing
        the internal temperature and moderating the signal on-the-fly.

NewVoiceMedia Strengthens ContactWorld Solutions to Revolutionise Sales and Service Performance and Boost Productivity

LONDON, October 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    NewVoiceMedia
[http://www.newvoicemedia.com/?utm_source=referral&utm_medium=press-release&utm_campaign=%09%202015-10-GBL-PRL-product-roundup ]
, a leading global provider of cloud technology
which helps businesses sell more, serve better and grow faster, has announced several
major product features to its portfolio to transform the way businesses of all sizes
connect with their customers worldwide, enabling them to deliver a more personalised
customer service experience, drive a more effective sales team, and rapidly grow their
business.

         (Logo:

    With cloud computing and agile development methods at the core of NewVoiceMedia's
business ethos, the company creates updates every week, and this quarter saw the
introduction of several significant new features, which offer sales and service
organisations more insight and accessibility than ever before. Innovation and
speed-to-market of new features is vital for fast growing companies. NewVoiceMedia's
recent growth research
[http://www.newvoicemedia.com/news/corporate/fast-growing-companies-exploit-power-of-cloud-finds-new-study ]
found that its customers are growing at 13 times the international
average, having increased revenues by an average of 44 percent in the last financial year,
compared with global economic growth of 3.5 percent.

    With one in 10 people already owning a smart watch, and one in four interested in
purchasing the Apple Watch(1), the demand to be connected on the move is increasing.
Coupled with that, 82% of consumers believe that a quick resolution is the number one
factor that leads to a great customer service experiencesquared. In response to this,
NewVoiceMedia launched ContactWorld for Wearables, enabling sales and service
professionals to access their Salesforce data anytime, from anywhere, meaning they can
engage with customers more quickly than ever before and never miss an important call or
update. Furthermore, as call notifications contain the customer or prospect's background
information, reps have the information they need to navigate calls smoothly when they take
them.

    While wearables in the enterprise are driving improved business performance, with
ContactWorld Vision, businesses also have access to instant, deep analytics about customer
communications to help boost sales performance and deliver better customer experiences.
With Vision for Sales, salespeople can immediately access invaluable information like
revenue driven per rep, call, or vertical; while Vision for Service provides internal
information about agent productivity and cost-to-serve, offering rare insight into
customer experience.

    Furthermore, the company's new component for Salesforce Lightning presents businesses
with an interactive timeline for contact engagement which displays all interactions, both
inbound and outbound, meaning sales reps benefit from a full view of a prospect's activity,
which allows a better understanding of them and their motivations, and whether a prospect
is 'hot' or 'cold'.

    ContactWorld QuickStart, which was launched in August, is an end-to-end solution for
SMBs, serving up to 25 users. With all numbers, minutes and hardware required, provided by
NewVoiceMedia, the solution offers sales and service professionals a great value customer
contact solution with the fundamental call features needed to grow their business, meaning
they can invest their money in further expansion and scale the use of ContactWorld to
support their growth.

    By continually innovating and bringing the latest features to customers, NewVoiceMedia
ensures that businesses are in the best possible position to address issues highlighted by
its recent research
[http://www.newvoicemedia.com/news/corporate/businesses-underestimate-impact-in-a-personal-connection-according-to-newvoicemedia-study ]
, which revealed that sales teams are
failing to recall information offered previously by prospects, frustrating more than half
of them.

    "We are perpetually focused on innovation to continue offering customers the best
possible technology within a single Salesforce desktop and provide excellent support
globally", said NewVoiceMedia CEO Jonathan Gale.

    "The company is extremely agile in its development, creating updates every week, and
we are committed to making our cloud capabilities best-in-class and enabling our customers
to deliver exceptional service and drive a more effective sales team. We developed
ContactWorld to make customer engagement easier and more successful for sales and service
professionals in companies of all sizes, and these innovative new features will help them
achieve this even more effortlessly, without being tied to their computers or compromising
their busy schedules".

    Built for Android users, WheresMyPandit expects an increase by three times for both
inquiries and sales after the launch of the application. And, post the launch of the iOS
application near to the Diwali season, it will multiply by nearly five times.

    Not only can you book a pandit with a simple click through the application, but in the
future, you can also chat or talk to the pandit to help you with various intricacies such
as Muhurat timings and information about the puja on a real-time basis. A real-time
tracking of the panditji will also be made available so you don't miss out on your muhurat
timings while the pandit is on his way to conduct the puja.

    A user-friendly interface combined with pleasant colour schematics and ease of
operation makes this app a must-have for every Hindu. There are also plans to release this
app in multiple languages so that anyone with a smartphone can have a smooth experience.
In addition, the app can even be operated on a 2G network and consumes minimum Internet
usage.

    The highlight of the app is its unique calendar feature, which is a multi-lingual
calendar that takes care of your caste specifications and is displayed as per your rituals
and customs. Once the app is downloaded, this feature is also available in offline mode
with customization options available, which includes setting up your Tithis and date
preferences. With daily Panchang and important festivals displayed, this app is of great
help to users. Daily sun and moon rising and setting timings are also specified. The
back-end team behind the application is also working on additional features for the
calendar which will have the calendar displayed as per the location, parlance and language
of the user and post this, the calendar feature will be a state-of-the-art Hindu calendar
leaving behind the cliched and generalist ones.

    The other key feature of the app is the 'spiritual knowledge' vertical.  Basically,
the feeds have been synced with Wheresmypandit.com's Whatsapp service that provides you
daily information about lessons from religious books like the Bhagavad Gita, Vedas, etc.
along with tales from the Ramayana. Features to share the spiritual knowledge on social
media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are also available. The programming and
content development team takes pride in this unique value-addition service of their
application and plan to expand the content in terms of starting an entire series of the
heroic epic in Hinduism, Mahabharata, along with lesser known facts about the Gods and
Goddesses to impart knowledge to every Hindu while getting them back to our beliefs and
rituals that indeed is the rich culture of India.

    Major future plans include integrating the entire Wheresmypandit.com's website with
their application in terms of both the services and products.  Additional devotional
content is also to be added taking their application service to the higher altitudes of
quality. By the end of this year, their core team has promised to be present on all
platforms for mobile applications along with improvements in the user interface adding to
the look and feel of the application.

MORGAN HILL, Calif., Oct. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Anritsu Company announces that it has extended the frequency coverage of its MS46322A Series ShockLine(TM) Economy Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) and MS46122A Series ShockLine Compact VNAs to 43.5 GHz. By supporting the higher frequency, the low-cost VNAs can efficiently conduct S-parameter and time domain measurements on RF and microwave passive devices up to 43.5 GHz in a variety of cost-sensitive engineering, manufacturing and university testing applications.   

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150410/197878LOGO

The MS46122A VNAs are available in three frequency ranges of 1 MHz to 8/20/43.5 GHz, while the MS46322A offers six models with coverage of 1 MHz to 4/8/14/20/30/43.5 GHz.

Both instruments have typical dynamic range of 110 dB at 43.5 GHz and wide IF bandwidths for fast test times and maximum throughput. The MS46122A and MS46322A have high level noise of less than 0.006 dB at 43.5 GHz and a sweep speed of typically 220 us/point. The performance of the ShockLine VNAs provides users with reduced measurement uncertainty and small guard bands when testing cables, connectors, filters, antennas and other passive components.

Anritsu has designed the 1U high, two-port MS46122A and 2U high, two-port MS46322A Series to be used in applications requiring a small footprint and remote programming. Small and rugged chassis allow the VNAs to fit into standard rack mount configurations, while support of SCPI command programming and software drivers allow both series to be compatible with the most common programming environments. The MS46122A, with an external computer, or the MS46322A, via a touchscreen, keyboard and mouse, support a powerful graphical user interface (GUI) that simplifies developing and troubleshooting programs in automated test environments.

The MS46122A and MS46322A are two of five series that comprise the ShockLine family of low-cost VNAs. Covering nine different frequency ranges in 1-, 2-, and 4-port models, the ShockLine family is available in multiple form factors and with LAN or USB interfaces to fit any testing environment. Anritsu has developed the ShockLine performance VNAs to address the market need for solutions that can economically test passive devices in cost-sensitive applications.

Movado Announces Exciting new Collaboration with Industrial Designer Yves Behar

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Movado Group, Inc. (MOV) - Movado announces the launch of the new Movado Edge watch collection, developed in collaboration with world-renowned industrial designer Yves Behar and his design firm fuseproject. Uniting the talents of two of the most important industrial designers of the last 70 years, Nathan George Horwitt and Yves Behar, Movado has brought a dynamic new level of design innovation and sophistication to the legendary Museum Dial.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151006/274383

"I met Yves at the Aspen Ideas Conference in 2013 and we immediately connected through our deep appreciation of design," said Efraim Grinberg, CEO and Chairman, Movado Group. "The idea of looking at Horwitt's original Museum Dial concept through Yves Behar's design-focused vision was a compelling prospect for Movado and we are extremely proud of the result. The Movado Edge collection offers a stunning new interpretation of Movado's iconic signature - it is so distinctly and uniquely Movado, we decided we did not need to include the logo on the dial."

Movado's legendary Museum Dial was created in 1947 by artist/designer Nathan George Horwitt. Stark and striking, the iconic dial has no numbers. It is defined only by a solitary gold dot at 12 o'clock, symbolizing the sun at high noon, while its simple moving hands suggest the daily rotation of the earth on its axis. This conceptual, groundbreaking dial is one of the most acclaimed watch designs of all time, and one of the most important of the 20(th) Century. Horwitt's original design was accepted into the permanent collection of MoMA in 1960.

"As a designer, it is both daunting and an exciting challenge to design for Movado, a watch brand that is both universally recognized as a modern pioneer, and at the same time accessible," stated Yves Behar, Founder and Principal Designer, fuseproject. "The opportunity to stand out, to stand for something can be rare in watch design. The central idea of the Movado Edge design was achieved through the use of new materials, textures and three-dimensional construction - the dished shapes catch the light beautifully and have the effect of drawing the eye inside of the watch. As the user's wrist moves, the design changes constantly, symbolically speaking of time as the indicator of change in our lives."

Movado Edge renews the brand with a thoroughly modern aesthetic through a heightened industrial lens, characterized by a new, visually tactile form. Celebrating Movado's industrial design heritage rooted in the Bauhaus movement, a synergy of art and design are revealed in the collection's simplified, geometric forms. The dial reinterprets Horwitt's original vision in three dimensions, with the signature dot emerging from the dial's curved, newly textured landscape. Sculpted ridges that form around the edge of the dial suggest the sun's rays, while subtly marking the minutes - a beautiful and purposeful design element. Fusing form, function and inspiration, this transformative new collection includes men's, women's and chronograph models on stainless steel link bracelets and black leather or rubber straps.

A brand long identified with Modernism and closely associated with the performing arts, Movado has achieved a proud 134-year history of design excellence and innovation. Movado has been a major supporter of New York City Ballet, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Additionally, Movado has supported the Miami International Film Festival, Miami City Ballet, The Joffrey Ballet, Ballet Pacifica, and the Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum.

Movado Group, Inc. designs, manufactures, and distributes Movado, EBEL, Concord, Coach, HUGO BOSS, Lacoste, Juicy Couture, Tommy Hilfiger, and Scuderia Ferrari brand watches worldwide.

Microsoft redefines the laptop with Surface Book, ushers in new era of Windows 10 devices

New Surface Pro 4, Lumia phones and Microsoft Band also unveiled.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday unveiled new Surface, Lumia and Microsoft Band devices, taking advantage of powerful and versatile hardware to unlock new Windows 10 experiences, including fast and secured login with Windows Hello(1); new Cortana(2) experiences that turn Windows 10 devices into a personal assistant; improved touch and pen experiences on Surface; and Continuum for phones, which enables the new Lumia 950 and 950 XL phones to work like PCs(3). Showcasing the innovation possible with Windows 10, Microsoft also shared new gaming experiences from Xbox and new details on Microsoft HoloLens, the first fully untethered holographic computer. 

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20000822/MSFTLOGO

Now running on 110 million devices around the world, Windows 10 is off to the fastest start in history -- seeing upgrades at three times the rate of Windows 7 in the same time period. With more than 1.25 billion visits to the Windows Store, Microsoft announced all-new universal apps for Windows 10, including Box, Facebook, Instagram, Candy Crush Soda Saga, Flipagram, Uber, and others. These apps add to the existing Windows 10 experiences that will be available on the new Microsoft devices.

"With Windows 10 and these new Microsoft devices, you are at the center of magical new experiences," said Satya Nadella, chief executive officer of Microsoft. "We're moving people from needing to choosing to loving Windows, and these devices promise to fuel even more enthusiasm and opportunity for the entire Windows ecosystem."

Surface redefines the laptop

Building on its track record of pioneering new categories, Microsoft is redefining the laptop with the new Surface Book -- a powerful, high-performance laptop with stunning craftsmanship and incredibly accurate and responsive pen and touch support. Ultrathin, Surface Book combines the impressive power of 6th Generation Intel(®) Core((TM)) i5 and Core((TM)) i7 processors with up to 12 hours of battery life(4). The 13.5-inch optically bonded PixelSense Display delivers a high-contrast 267 dpi display with improved latency and parallax, making it not just beautiful to look at but natural and fluid to write on. The screen also detaches, so it can be used like a clipboard to sketch, take notes and benefit from Windows programs like Microsoft Edge. An optional discrete GPU allows Surface Book to harness the full power of hardware-accelerated graphics for seamless video editing, fast rendering or immersive gaming. Surface Book starts at $1,499(5).

The tablet that can replace your laptop just got thinner, lighter, faster

Microsoft also introduced Surface Pro 4, the thinnest, lightest and most powerful tablet that can replace your laptop. At only 8.4 mm thin, it features a stunning 12.3-inch PixelSense Display and 6th Generation Intel(®) Core((TM)) m, Core((TM)) i5, and Core((TM)) i7 processors, enabling everyone from students to professionals to get more done on the go. Starting at $8995, Surface Pro 4 is not only 30 percent more powerful than Surface Pro 3 but also quieter, runs cooler, and is even more efficient with up to nine hours of battery life(4). The new Surface Pro 4 Type Cover(6) takes Surface Pro 4 from tablet to laptop in an instant and features a redesigned mechanical keyboard with optimal key spacing for fast and fluid typing. Backwards compatible with Surface Pro 3, the new Surface Pro 4 Type Cover comes with an optional fingerprint reader, bringing the convenience and enterprise-grade security of Windows Hello to existing customers. The redesigned Surface Pen packs 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity, letting you write, draw and mark documents with precision ink on one end and an eraser on the other.

Surface Book, Surface Pro 4 and new accessories are available for preorder in select markets Oct. 7, then for purchase in Canada and the United States on Oct. 26, with additional markets to follow. Full device and accessory specs are available here, here and here. 

Lumia phones showcase the power of Windows 10

The company also reinforced its commitment to mobile with the introduction of Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL, the first Windows 10 Lumia phones and newest premium phones from Microsoft. With more people using multiple devices throughout their day, Windows 10 provides a familiar and consistent experience that enables a seamless and productive transition from one device to another, whether PCs, tablets or the new phones. With Continuum capability for phones enhanced by the new Microsoft Display Dock accessory, connect the phone to a monitor and transform it for larger-screen entertainment, or add a keyboard and mouse to work like a PC with Windows 10 apps like Microsoft Office, while simultaneously taking calls or performing other tasks(6). With the latest-generation PureView cameras with 20-megapixel sensors, triple LED natural flash and 4K video capture, the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL enable faster focus and crisper images and videos even in challenging conditions. Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL will become available in select markets in November; local retailers or operators can give pricing and availability. Full device specs are available here and here.

Lumia 550, Microsoft's most affordable 4G LTE smartphone running Windows 10, also joins the Lumia family(7). For people who value affordability, uncompromised quality and signature Microsoft services, Lumia 550 combines superfast Internet, the latest Qualcomm(®) Snapdragon((TM)) quad-core processor with ultrafast LTE speeds, and the best of Microsoft services for just $139(5). Lumia 550 will begin rolling out in select European markets in December, with additional markets to follow. Full device specs are available here.

Achieve your fitness goals with Microsoft Band 2

Microsoft also announced Microsoft Band 2, the latest fitness wearable designed to help you live healthier and achieve more. The new Microsoft Band features a new curved display, making it even more comfortable to wear, and Cortana(8) enables you to reply to texts or set reminders with the touch of a button. Alongside a continuous optical heart rate monitor and onboard GPS, the smart band still tracks calories burned, deep exercise and sleep quality -- and now records floors climbed -- all while maintaining up to two-day battery life. Microsoft Health is available as a universal Windows app, a dedicated app for iOS and Android devices, and via a Web Dashboard, all enabling people to set wellness goals and receive actionable insights. Starting at $249(5), Microsoft Band 2 is available for preorder in select markets Oct. 6, then for purchase in the United States on Oct. 30, with additional markets to follow. Full device specs are available here.

Microsoft HoloLens arrives for developers
