Bubl Launches New Mobile App for Kids: Bubl Draw, Best New App in Kid's Category on the App Store

MOSCOW, February 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

           Digital Art App Inspired By Kandinsky, Steve Reich and Generative Music

    Russian developer Bubl today announced the launch of their new brand of unique
educational apps for children. Their innovative debut app Bubl Draw is a tool that uses
music to draw, designed to help develop the artistic perception of shape, color and sound.
Bubl is featured on the US App Store as Kids Category in Best New Apps, as well as Best
New Apps in Canada and the United Kingdom.

    "We make use of both digital art methods and gaming mechanics to develop children's
perception of links between color, sound and shape," says Bubl creator and CEO Oleg
Stavitsky. "We've channeled inspiration from our favorite creators into something children
can easily understand and, more importantly, learn from."

    About Bubl Draw: Bubl Draw composes music out of drawings, where every color has a
corresponding musical instrument that changes key as the drawing changes shape. Complete
lines and shapes turn into unique musical phrases that comprise a complete composition.
Buble Draw thereby becomes an endless music box - an abstract visual and musical tool that
creates connections between color, sound and form.

    Bubl apps are inspired by the visual art of Wassily Kandinsky; the ambient and
generative music of Brian Eno; the minimalist compositions of Philip Glass and Steve
Reich; and the contemporary creative collaborations of Sesame Street.

    "The modern world is full of digital distraction," says Stavitsky. "We choose not to
fight the future, but rather to create products that help kids develop fundamental skills
to use in their modern environment."

    Download available for $2.99:

    About Bubl: Bubl believes that abstract interactive games draw kids in, stimulating
their imagination and developing creative thinking. The studio has created its own
approach to interactive children's products based on its own experience, modern child
development science and Wassily Kandinsky's works. Bubl developers are video game industry
vets, worked at Crytek, EA, and Protey Temen.

PCTV Systems Launches The 461e, A New High Definition USB-Based Digital Satellite Receiver For Windows And Linux

The PCTV 461e brings high definition DVB-S and DVB-S2 digital satellite TV to Windows based PCs. Linux support  is also now available.

BRAUNSCHWEIG, Germany, Feb. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Hauppauge Digital Inc subsidiary, PCTV Systems Sarl has launched the PCTV DVB-S2 Stick (461e), a high definition digital satellite TV receiver, designed for both Windows and Linux based systems. The 461e can receive free-to-view HD digital satellite broadcasts in Europe and the Middle East from Astra and Eutelsat, plus the Freesat service in the UK. The 461e comes in a small case, is USB connected and enables a Windows or Linux system to receive satellite TV programs and satellite data broadcasts. The 461e was designed to deliver excellent TV reception in the smallest size possible for high definition satellite broadcasts.

PCTV Systems Sarl is headquartered in Braunschweig, Germany and is the leading European manufacturer of high definition TV receivers for Windows and Linux systems. PCTV Systems has been a subsidiary of Hauppauge Digital since 2009.

Maik Richter, General Manager of PCTV Systems, remarked on the target markets for the PCTV 461e, "While the 461e will also work in North America and Asia, the rich free-to-view high definition satellite content broadcast by Astra, Eutelsat and Freesat makes Europe the key market. And though the 461e works great in allowing consumers to watch and record satellite TV on a Windows PC, we have many VARs and system integrators in Europe, North America and Asia who will be using the 461e in Linux based systems for digital signage, sports equipment, hospital patient entertainment systems and other TV watching and high speed data delivery applications."

For Windows users, the included TVCenter 6 application for Windows makes it easy to watch, pause and record live HD digital satellite TV on a PC or laptop. After plugging in the 461e to a USB port on a Windows PC and connecting a cable from a satellite dish, a user can watch live satellite TV or play back satellite TV recordings full-screen or in a freely scalable window. The TVCenter 6 application can be run on a Windows PC even if you are working with other software at the same time. TVCenter 6 also supports remote TV viewing with the included DistanTV application, which provides watching TV on mobile devices like tablets or smartphones. With the 461e, a user can watch satellite TV both on their Windows PC or streamed to an iPad, iPhone, Android tablet or other device inside or away from the home.

For OEM and system integrators, the PCTV 461e DVB-S2 Stick works with Linux systems as well. The drivers are part of Kernel 3.14 and are just committed to LinuxTV.org Media Tree http://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git

PCTV DVB-S2 Stick (461e) is an higher performance successor to the former model, the 460e DVB-S2 Stick. The retail price of the PCTV 461e is 69,95 euros and is available at MediaMarkt, Saturn and Amazon in Germany. In the UK, the 461e has a suggested retail price of 59.95 GBP and is available through Amazon UK.

The solutions will be featured at Zebra's booth #6577 at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) 2014 conference and exhibition beginning on February 23, 2014.

The solution sets that will be showcased for demonstration within the Zebra booth include:

    --  Mobile Specimen Collection
    --  Positive Patient ID
    --  Laboratory Samples/ Medication Administration
    --  Pharmacy Script Protection
    --  Device Management
    --  Health System Efficiencies
"Patient safety is an incredibly important issue for healthcare providers and at Zebra we have specifically designed our solutions with this in mind. Our solutions enable health systems to positively identify clinicians, healthcare assets, patients, and patient specimen samples and medications, giving the systems direct visibility into their operations," states Andy Tippet, healthcare vertical manager, the Americas, for Zebra Technologies. "Hospitals are also under increased pressure to optimize staffing, improve business intelligence, control costs, and achieve higher levels of electronic health record (EHR) implementation. In all of these areas, Zebra provides solutions to help hospitals meet their needs."

Mobile Specimen Collection
Misidentification of samples has led to tens of thousands of adverse events throughout the health system. Zebra's Mobile Specimen Collection, which enables providers to label samples at the patient's bedside, represents a key opportunity to address this critical issue. At HIMSS, Zebra will feature enhancements to its key QLn220 and QLn320 printers. These mobile printing devices will meet comprehensive wipe-ability standards, provide an enhanced user experience, and deliver connectivity capabilities unmatched in healthcare today. Additionally, Zebra is announcing that LinkOS(TM), an open platform that allows Zebra printers to easily communicate with other devices, and Zebra's IQ color labels are available with these devices.

Positive Patient ID
Zebra is a leader in positive patient ID, providing both thermal and laser wristband solutions through its HC100 dedicated wristband printer and LaserBand product sets.  Zebra will be featuring the new HC100 UltraSoft, the softest wristband in the market, and the LaserBand 2 Advanced laser generated wristband with its unique durability and design.  For HIMSS 2014, Zebra will feature LifeMed ID's premier patient identity products as part of its positive patient ID solution set. The combination of Zebra's wristband portfolio combined with LMID's smart card technology enables healthcare providers to positively ID their patients.

Zebra will also be demonstrating its Mobile Specimen Collection and Positive Patient ID solutions within the Intelligent Hospital exposition.

Laboratory Samples/ Medication Administration
In addition to the proper identification of patients and specimens taken at bedside, samples need to be processed in the lab and then efficiently labeled. Zebra will be featuring a new industrial printer for high printing volumes that will become part of its high end offering, not just for laboratories, but also for the positive ID labeling for medications.

Pharmacy Script Protection
Protecting valuable prescription paper is a concern for many pharmacies. Zebra will be demonstrating its unique GX420Rx printer that contains special lock down features and mountings that protect this vital asset.

Device Management
Zebra's recently launched Internet of Things platform, Zatar, will also be featured in the booth and the company will discuss how it is working with healthcare providers, such as Kit Check, to connect devices to the Internet and manage them across multiple locations and device networks.

Health System Efficiencies

                                 smartphones and tablets

ultimately harm - rather than help - profits and the average revenue per user (ARPU),"
said Kim Vaisanen, CEO and Co-Founder of Blancco. "From our customers, plus involvement
with the Device Renewal Forum (DRF), we know safe, efficient recycling of mobile devices
is a complex process, which is why Blancco has created and continually updates a range of
products that automate full data erasure and reporting."

          smartphones and tablets, which include Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Symbian, and Windows
           Mobile.
        - Blancco Mobile Android Diagnostic - This new feature allows detailed
          testing of Android phone hardware and functionality.
        - Blancco Flash Appliance
          [http://download.blancco.com/Marketing/Material/Product_Flash/product-sheet-flash-appliance.pdf ]
          - This rack-mountable hardware device optimizes erasure of high volumes of
          SD cards or USB sticks.

    All Blancco products provide detailed reports as proof of data erasure and
verification of hardware health, which help MNOs and recyclers determine a device's
viability for refurbishment and resale.

    Blancco's new white paper, "Mobile Network Operators and the Used Mobile Device
Market: Safely Capturing Value with Advanced Data Erasure," will be available at MWC or by

Information vital to parking administrators including occupancy, turnover, and length of stay data, is then made available to customers through ParkSight 2.0.

With 30% of city traffic caused by people searching for parking, there is a strong case for parking management tools. With nearly 20 standard reports as well as the ability to create customized reports, ParkSight 2.0 enables cities and universities to analyze motorist behavior and make data-driven decisions to better manage their parking real estate.

"We know we need to better manage our downtown parking spaces and use good data to make policy and operational decisions," said Matt Bronson, Assistant City Manager at the City of San Mateo.

        customized reporting
    --  Rich visualization
    --  Around-the-clock access and a truly self-service tool

    --  Ability to use the data to implement policy changes, track impact, and
        fine tune
    --  Export capabilities of data and reports for easy distribution and
        collaboration
    --  Ability to slice and dice the data: by block, hour, day of the week in a
        specified date period
    --  Data to support the implementation of new initiatives such as
        demand-based pricing models
The charts and reports included in ParkSight 2.0 have been defined in collaboration with Streetline's nearly 40 customers. By working with customers of different sizes and with different needs and goals, Streetline has identified and delivered on the key reporting features that will further aid cities and universities as they strive to use parking data to optimize resource use, enhance workforce efficiency, decrease congestion, increase patronage in commercial districts, and improve the motorist experience for residents, visitors, and students.

"The release of ParkSight 2.0 is a significant enhancement to our product suite," said Zia Yusuf, CEO of Streetline. "By offering a truly self-service cloud application for our customers, cities and universities can feel empowered to generate reports at whatever frequency they please and easily share across departments.

Broadcom Announces Open Network Function Virtualization Platform

Helps Accelerate Deployment of Applications and Cost Benefits of NFV

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications, today announced its Open Network Function Virtualization (NFV) platform. This platform is designed to accelerate NFV adoption by allowing implementation of applications across multiple system-on-a-chip (SoC) processor solutions based on diverse Instruction Set Architectures (ISA). Broadcom will showcase its mobile innovations at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, February 24 - 27.  For more news, visit Broadcom's Newsroom.   

Using Broadcom's new Open NFV platform, OEMs and ecosystem vendors can easily migrate virtual functions (VF) between platforms based on various vendor solutions. A proof of concept (PoC) demonstrating a live VF state migration between multiple ISAs has been approved by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) NFV Industry Specification Group (ISG)(1).

"As more organizations move toward an NFV model, they will need an easy way to migrate virtual functions across platforms," said Werner Schaefer, Hewlett Packard Vice President, Network Functions Virtualization. "Industry collaboration via open standards, like those supported by Broadcom and HP, enable customers to move NFV forward from concept into reality through tight interoperability between all of the components needed to rollout an Open NFV platform."

"Customers have been asking for an ISA-independent solution to migrate virtual functions across diverse platforms, something they didn't previously have," said Ron Jankov, Broadcom Senior Vice president and General Manager, Processors and Wireless Infrastructure. "Broadcom's partnership with ARM and other third party vendors helps advance our NFV goals and meet the workload flexibility and scalability needs of our customers, while maintaining our commitment to a truly open ecosystem."

In partnership with ARM, Broadcom is working to enable equipment manufacturers designing NFV solutions to meet next-generation carrier-class requirements utilizing open standards that enhance code portability and reduce development time. "Broadcom and ARM have been working together within ETSI and Linaro to standardize programming models, tools, APIs and network-specific libraries to create a truly open software environment," said Charlene Marini, ARM Vice President of Marketing, Embedded Segment. "NFV platforms such as Broadcom's are a key building block in enabling network operators to deploy flexible high-performance, energy-efficient network architectures based on a consistent software platform."

As telecom providers and network operators move to a carrier cloud architecture, they are looking for cost effective solutions to virtualize workloads on industry standard servers. Broadcom's Open NFV platform provides scalability, workload flexibility and interoperability for the successful implementation of NFV. The basis of Broadcom's Open NFV platform is open source components such as Linux, KVM and OVS giving customers a consistent platform independent of the target SoC's ISA, thus allowing vendors to develop NFV applications that are highly portable. "We are very pleased to see the industry driving NFV implementation according to the ETSI NFV ISG PoC Framework," said Don Clarke, British Telecom Head of Network Evolution Innovation.  "Portability and flexibility will make a significant contribution to the successful rollout of new solutions based on NFV." 

Broadcom's platform supports open Application Programming Interface (API) standards such as Linaro's Open Data Plane (ODP) to access acceleration components for scaling critical functionality and reducing time-to-market delays. By supporting open API standards it ensures that customers can take advantage of the market leading capabilities that Broadcom has put into three generations of multi-core processor SoCs while still maintaining the desired platform portability.  Accelerators, a mainstay in today's infrastructure equipment, are critical for scaling networking, storage and security functions to useful performance levels in NFV platforms. For the successful implementation of NFV, Broadcom provides a fully virtualized high performance multi-core processor SoC with tightly coupled accelerators that will be available in a wide range of server form factors as well as standardized Open Compute Platforms (OCP).

In Broadcom's Virtual Function State Migration and Interoperability PoC, recently accepted by ETSI NFV ISG, Broadcom is demonstrating a Tieto implementation of an Enhanced Packet Core (EPC) and migrating the VF state from operating on one ISA to a different ISA. This portability is imperative to the future success of any NFV implementation. Using standard APIs, Broadcom's software partners take advantage of the XLP data plane accelerators such as Central Messaging Station (CMS) and Network Accelerator Engines (NAE) that are unique to Broadcom, to offer unparalleled application performance, workload flexibility and scalability.

In addition to the platform, Event Machine, the underlying technology for ODP from ENEA along with application ID from QOSMOS and data plane acceleration from 6WIND, will be demonstrated at Broadcom's booth during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona February 24 - 27.

Volvo Pilots Ground-breaking 'Roam Delivery' Service

GOTHENBURG, Sweden and BARCELONA, February 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    Volvo Cars demonstrates the potential of connected cars with deliveries direct to
people's cars

       
        - Over half of people (60%) experienced delivery problems through online
          shopping last year
        - Failed first-time deliveries cost the industry an estimated EUR1billion in
          re-delivering costs
        - Digital keys now make it possible to transform the car into a pickup and
          drop-off zone

    In a ground-breaking technology move for the automotive industry, Volvo Cars
demonstrates the world's first delivery of food to the car - a new form of 'roam delivery'
services. The service, which will be showcased at the Mobile World Congress, will allow
consumers to have their shopping delivered straight to their car, no matter where they
are.

    To view the Multimedia News Release, please click:

    http://www.multivu.com/mnr/65010-volvo-pilots-roam-delivery-service

    Volvo's new digital keys technology will allow consumers to choose their car as a
delivery option when ordering goods online. Via a smartphone or tablet, the owner will be
informed when a delivery requires dropping off or picking up from the car.

    Having accepted the delivery, a digital key will be activated which tracks when the
car is opened and then locked again. Once the delivery is completed, the digital key
ceases to exist. The system is based on the functionality of the telematics app Volvo On
Call, which also makes it possible to remotely heat or cool the car and see its position
or fuel level via the mobile phone.

    Earlier this year Volvo Cars launched Sensus Connect, an integrated on board
navigation and infotainment experience. Volvo Cars' strategic partnership with Ericsson
builds further on the idea of the Networked Society by examining a host of consumer
centric concepts around the "Connected Vehicle Cloud" that sees the driving experience
revolutionized over the coming years.

    Last year, 60% of people shopping online had problems with the delivery of their
item.[1] Research revealed that people across the globe feel increasingly stressed in
their daily lives. In a report from Future Foundation, all of the countries studied showed
an increase from 2010 to 2011 when responding to the statement "I'm often under time
pressure in my daily life".[2]

    Despite the rise of online shopping, research has also revealed that over a half of
people are not at home to receive online deliveries, leading to further hassle and time
wasted through failed deliveries.[3]

    'Roam delivery' is one example where Volvo Cars explores the potential of connected
cars to create solutions which will simplify the customers' everyday lives. The pilot
programme has also revealed 92% of people found it more convenient to receive deliveries
to their car than at home.

    "By turning the car into a pickup and drop-off zone through using digital keys, it's
now possible to deliver the goods to persons and not just places. The test-customers also
indicated that the service clearly saved time. And the same thing is valid for delivery
companies a well! Because failed first-time deliveries cost the industry an estimated
EUR1billion in re-delivering costs.[4] We are now further investigating the technology of
digital keys and new consumer benefits linked to it," says Klas Bendrik, Group CIO at
Volvo Car Group.

    Today, we can see how our devices are becoming seamlessly linked to one big ecosystem.
This ecosystem will likely change the way we own cars, the way we drive cars, but also
change what the car can do for you - even when parked.

    With Volvo Car's Sensus Connect, the car owner now has access to a variety of
cloud-based services. Among other things, Volvo drivers are now able to find and pay for
parking from the car, locate restaurants, stream music and much more.

    During Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Volvo Cars will showcase the full potential
and range of services with Sensus Connect, including deliveries to the car, to selected
media in Ericsson's stand on Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th of February.

Webroot Releases New Mobile Threat Report that Reveals Year-Over-Year Growth and Complexity of Mobile Threats

Report Indicates Employees Using Mobile Devices Expose Company Networks and Corporate Data to Malicious Applications and Attacks

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Feb. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A new Webroot® threat report details the rise in potentially threatening mobile applications and reinforces the need for IT managers and employees to be aware of mobile threats. Conducted by Webroot, a leader in internet security software as a service, the report indicates that as employees continue to use their own devices and personal applications for work purposes, more threats are introduced into the workplace, putting company networks at risk. The report also provides suggestions and best practices to reduce the risk to corporate data from employee-owned mobile devices.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20121016/LA94090LOGO

Key findings from the Webroot Mobile Threat Report include:

    --  384% increase in total threats to Android devices in 2013.
    --  42% of applications for Android analyzed were classified as malicious,
        unwanted, or suspicious.
    --  Infection risk comparisons between the Android and iOS® platforms.
    --  29.3% of all tracked SMS infections stem from gaming applications.
The new report, based on data collected by the Webroot Threat Research team, analyzed more than 5.9 million mobile applications (apps), 31,000 infections, nearly 125,000 Lost Device Protection activations, and infection rates from millions of customers. The increased risk is caused by malicious apps including those which require rooting the device, send premium SMS messages, and collect all available data. The report stresses the importance of downloading apps from reputable sources such as Google Play and iTunes®. Many third party app markets do not apply strict security standards and can unknowingly host malicious files.

"Consumers are very trusting of mobile applications such as Facebook, Twitter and Angry Birds - they are apps they know and have used for some time. However, it's the thousands of unverified apps, often found on third party markets or P2P networks, that put users at risk," said Grayson Milbourne, security intelligence director at Webroot. "The report shows that this line of thinking is dangerous; poor app choices can lead to the compromise of an entire corporate network. The need to secure mobile devices will continue to grow as the discovery of new exploits and malicious apps increase--all driven by a clear focus on mobile platforms within the cybercrime community."

The proliferation of mobile devices, particularly personal devices used in the work environment--known as "bring your own device" or BYOD--can expose corporate networks to higher risk and the continued growth of the platform for Android is of particular concern. The data indicated a nearly 4X increase in the volume of potentially threatening apps for Android in 2013, while a recent report from Strategy Analytics indicated Android powered 79 percent of all smartphones shipped during the same period. While allowing such devices to access company resources aids productivity, the increased potential for compromise opens up a risk vector for which IT personnel must take into account.

The report also draws analysis from more than 31,000 sample infections to Android devices and reveals compelling results. To get a copy of the new Webroot Mobile Threat Report and read the comprehensive analysis of current mobile threats, visit http://www.webroot.com/mobile-threat-report-2014 or visit Webroot at the RSA Conference 2014 in San Francisco on February 24 - 28, 2014, booth #832. Webroot representatives will be available to discuss the report and demonstrate Webroot® mobile security intelligence solutions.

UMD Company CoolCAD Launches Kickstarter Campaign for Security Keychain that Locks Your Computer When You Are Away

COLLEGE PARK, Md., Feb. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- CoolCAD Electronics LLC, a University of Maryland-based electronics design company, just launched a 30-day Kickstarter campaign for its new GateKeeper Chain security product, a small, colorful key fob that automatically locks your computer when you leave and unlocks it when you return, university officials announce today.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20101005/MTECHLOGO

The GateKeeper Chain works over Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth SMART) wireless technology, combining a personal sensor with an encrypted connection that allows only its unique key to unlock your computer. The password is encrypted and stored on your PC, not the GK-Chain--so no one can steal it. The result is effortless security for your computer when you walk away, and easy access when you return.

"Our goal is provide people who use computers with optimal security and convenience," said Electrical and Computer Engineering graduate Dr. Siddharth Potbhare (M.S. 2005, Ph.D. 2008), who co-founded CoolCAD. "It's easy to forget to lock your computer when you leave your desk, and it's a chore to log back in when you get back. GateKeeper takes care of both."

As an extra layer of security, CoolCAD offers a companion smartphone application that lets you manage and track your keys, but more importantly--warns you when you leave your keys behind.

Initial prototypes work with PCs and Android phones, although the company is creating Macintosh and iOS versions as well.

Rewards for backers of the GateKeeper Chain Kickstarter campaign include access to pre-production-run prototypes, custom gold or silver key fobs, laboratory tours with CoolCAD's engineers and designers, and up to 50 hours of one-on-one consulting to create customized products, which could include logos, additional branding and optional form factors.

CoolCAD plans to use its Kickstarter funding to take the patent-pending GateKeeper Chain from a fully functional prototype to a 200-unit pilot production run, which the company will use to obtain FCC certification and conduct comprehensive reliability testing and failure analysis tests.

Full production runs for the GateKeeper Chain are slated for June, with an expected delivery of the first 4,000 devices in July.

CoolCAD's ten-member team includes Co-Founders UMD Electrical and Computer Engineering and Institute for Systems Research Professor Neil Goldsman, and Vice President and UMD alumnus Dr. Akin Akturk, who earned his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2006.

CoolCAD is a member of the Technology Advancement Program incubator, an initiative of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute (Mtech) in the A. James Clark School of Engineering, whose graduates include Martek Biosciences and Digene Corporation, both of whom were acquired for more than $1 billion. The company's headquarters are in Mtech's Technology Ventures Building, located off-campus near the College Park Metrorail station.

CoolCAD has acquired research and development projects and subcontracts totaling over $4 million over the past five years, including Phase I and Phase II SBIRs/STTRs and four Mtech Maryland Industrial Partnerships program grants with two different UMD professors.

Security and Communications Service Provider Partners with Essence's Smart Living Offering

HERZLIYA, Israel and MOSCOW, February 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    Essence in Russia is introducing with GulfStream its simple, branded DIY smart home
kit to overcome one of the major obstacles that has prevented communications service
providers from offering value added services for security and connected homes.

    "Any customer can simply install this out of the box," says Ben Weinberger, Deputy CEO
of Essence. "The service provider really doesn't have to worry about anything. They just
send the kit to consumers, and the consumers install a complete home security and
connected home system by themselves."

    One of the main obstacles to mass deployment of new connected home services is the
need to train and send out support personnel. The Essence WeR@HomeTM solution overcomes
that issue with its self-installed, simple set-up and remote maintenance tools for service
providers.

    Another major benefit is the flexible pricing model. Essence's partner in Russia,
Gulfstream, found that communications service providers were looking for new services with
flexible pricing models. With WeR@HomeTM, it's possible to provide a hardware and software
package for the average consumer that allows self-monitoring via mobile apps, with
affordable equipment and monthly subscription fees.

    "The built-in app means that people can manage their own homes and security alarms
from their mobile devices," said Oleg Rybakov, GulfStream Technical Director. "The system
enables people to see a video or photograph of what's going on in their homes at any time.
The starter kit is inexpensive, with basic professional monitoring services, enabling
people to grow with additional devices and enriched professional monitoring services. It
is also cost effective for service providers to deploy, thanks to the WeR@HomeTM easy
set-up and simple user experience as well as the solution's remote maintenance and
management tools."

    "Service providers may not want to change their business models but still want to
provide the widest possible range of services for their customers," said Weinberger. "It
makes sense for the end user, too. In 15 minutes, you can have a system that works in your
home and is managed via your mobile phone with absolutely no hassle."

    GulfStream and Essence have been working together for several years, and this
represents an expansion of that partnership, with greater opportunities for service
providers in Russia.

    "The advantage of working with Essence is that they have a proven connected home and
security solution. We know that we can rely on them to provide the solutions and devices
quickly, without any integration headaches," added Rybakov.

    About Essence

    Essence is a privately held, global provider of scalable, end-to-end M2M
connected-living solutions for security, communication, and healthcare service providers.
Over the past 20 years, Essence has built an impressive installed base, with over 10
million products deployed and used by Tier-1 service providers worldwide. Essence is

    dizmo will now go into development of the product version of the software which will
be available from June this year.

    The disruptive dizmo software allows charts, images, websites and videos to coexist
and be moved, rotated and interacted as though they were physical objects, meaning that
you can visualize wireless devices, sensors and controls in an intuitive way. Keep track
of your favorite sports games, follow friends on social media, keep an eye on the security
cameras while chatting to friends over a call, all on the same touchscreen. Developers can
even use dizmo to connect applications and services such as Arduino or Rasberry Pi, and
it's easy to use and installable on any standard OS such as Windows, Mac OS X or Linux.

    Matthias Aebi [http://www.dizmo.com/team ], Founder and CEO & CTO at dizmo, explains:
"We are absolutely astounded by the positive response we've had so far, and that we hit
our goal so quickly. Moreover Kicksarter's statistics tell us that today we are the most
popular project on earth among the 722 projects in our category. A massive thank you to
every one who has backed, supported and given us your feedback, we could not have done it
without you. With our backers we can now develop technology for the 21st century as part
of the Smart Home and Internet of Things, meaning that software can keep up with the
rapidly progressing hardware market".

    dizmo's technology is the futuristic software many have to come to love in popular
culture, such as CSI, Iron Man, Minority Report and 2001: A Space Odyssey. The infinite
digital space of dizmo is ideal for workgroup collaboration in any environment, whether at
home or in the office. It allows you to synchronize, move and share dizmos between various
devices, and even across rooms or locations around the house. The ability to build your
own dizmos and dock dizmos together means that your technology can communicate and work
together in a truly connected digital world.

New ConnectCare Solution from Kodak Alaris Helps Healthcare Providers Convert and Direct Message Patient Information for Easy Transitions of Care

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Feb. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Every day, healthcare providers face the challenge of managing and exchanging patient information originating from paper and digital formats. To provide the best patient care, providers must have the ability to securely and efficiently convert and exchange such unstructured/structured content between fellow providers, with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system interoperability--or by a secure Direct independent means.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140219/NY67850LOGO)

Even as a range of providers have implemented EMR technology, the industry remains challenged by inconsistent adoption rates of the Meaningful Use (MU) government mandate. As a result, providers who are unable to uniformly exchange patient information across the healthcare continuum risk a reduction in referrals, which can negatively impact revenue. Additionally, providers who cannot attest to MU2 face reduced reimbursement rates.

To address these urgent health IT communication needs, Kodak Alaris and Inofilehave partnered to offer the ConnectCare Solution, a structured Direct patient information solution featuring INOFILE Kno2(TM)software. The affordable new solution is based on easily implemented, cloud-based software that captures and manages patient information regardless of its source or format. The ConnectCare Solution with Inofile's Kno2 software transforms and structures patient information and provides a secure Direct Messaging capability within the DirectTrust framework. This solution helps to transition patient information between EMR and non-EMR providers to complete the Continuum of Care and offers a secure fax alternative.

"Many small-to-midsize providers have been unable to cost justify implementation of EMR, leaving them without options to securely communicate various forms of healthcare information in a timely manner to support patient-centered care objectives," said Dolores Kruchten, President of Kodak Alaris' Document Imaging division. "We are excited to combine our world-class document imaging technology and Inofile's Kno2 Direct Messaging technologies to introduce a solution that enables any provider to transform and communicate patient information securely and electronically."

Kodak Alaris' ConnectCare Solution, part of a newly expanding healthcare solution portfolio, will debut at the Kodak Alaris booth (#8164) at HIMSS14 in Orlando, Feb. 23-26. Inofile also will be at the conference providing Kno2 demonstrations in suite MP 109 on the first floor outside of the exhibit hall, and at the HIMSS14 Interoperability Showcase.

"Kno2 is an easy-to-use, cost-effective, cloud-based application that creates an 'on-off ramp' between sources of unstructured clinical content and Electronic Medical Records systems as well as Health Information Exchange networks, including the nation's largest, SURESCRIPTS," said Inofile CEO Jon Elwell. "Combined with Kodak Alaris' document imaging technology, Kno2 offers providers in all care settings the ability to transform and securely communicate unstructured and structured patient information using standards-based protocols, helping to improve patient transition needs while connecting the Continuum of Care."
