Dahua to Pass UL-2802 Standard for Its Outstanding Image Quality

HANGZHOU, China, Feb. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Dahua Technology, a world-leading manufacturer and solution provider of video surveillance products headquartered in Hangzhou, China, announced today that its latest network camera, DH-HFW5200C, has become one of the first to pass UL-2802 (Performance Testing Standard for Camera Image Quality) certification in the industry and keeps you better protected.

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) launched UL-2802, which is the newest digital-camera performance standard, defining a method to determine video camera's digital image quality ratings through a series of performance tests. Cameras are rated on the following parameters: image resolution; distortion; relative illumination; dynamic range; maximum frame rate; gray level; sensitivity; bad pixel count and veiling glare.

DH-HFW5200C, being a part of Dahua's Eco-Savvy series, presents an outstanding performance as it achieved quite high scores during testing. Three tests results (Relative Illumination / Dynamic Range / Bad Pixel) were perfect scores, with others (Gray Level / Sensitivity / Veiling Glare) scoring strongly as well, according to the UL testing report.

"It is a pleasure to work with all manufacturers, and Dahua provides one of the first opportunities for certification. The UL-2802 program is a critical stepping stone for end users, manufacturers and integrators to objectively evaluate the performance of a camera's image quality. The UL test methods and procedures provide a fresh technical approach to objectively evaluating camera image quality," said Yeo Fong, Asia Business Development Manager of Built Environment of Underwriters Laboratories.

"UL is a reliable, professional and trusted partner and the UL-2802 camera quality program they introduced is of great prospect," said Tim Shen, overseas Marketing Director at Dahua Technology. "As a manufacturer, we are very happy to participate in this program as it is beneficial to the industry. There finally exists a third-party standard, administered by a trusted quality organization, which differentiates cameras in a fair and objective way."

Shen continues, "The standard will definitely help end-users to identify the most optimal ones for given applicants and market players of integrity could also hence better enjoy the game. Dahua Technology welcomes such a standard and will continue to work closely with UL as a long-term partner to benefit the market."

Contex Boosts Workgroup Productivity with IQ Quattro, World's Smartest, Fastest Wide Format Scanner

COPENHAGEN, February 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    Workgroup Users Benefit from Cloud Computing, Innovative
Imaging Technologies, Record-Breaking Scanning Speeds

    Contex, the world's leader of wide format scanning and imaging solutions, today
announces the IQ Quattro, a wide format scanner designed to improve workgroup productivity
by reducing the time spent on scanning tasks. Smarter than any other wide format scanner,
the IQ Quattro is Gigabit Ethernet networked with xDTR2 and is the market's only
cloud-enabled wide format scanner. Workgroup users can specify local or cloud-based
destinations for scans using smartphones, tablets, and other devices for instant
collaboration. The IQ Quattro boasts a sleek design and a top scanning speed of 14 inches
per second for color or monochrome documents -- just 3.5 seconds for A0 / E-size color
documents.

    Better than any competitive solution, the IQ Quattro also features Contex's unique
CleanScan CIS module, which gives workgroup users the details they need the first time for
optimal productivity and efficiency. The IQ Quattro achieves this with dual-side LED light
and ground-breaking methods for light diffusion, shadows, and unwanted background. By
suppressing shadows and unwanted background, the IQ Quattro produces crisp, sharp, and
natural scans.

    The IQ Quattro is available in 24- and 44-inch models from authorized distributors and
resellers worldwide [http://www.contex.com/en-US/Where-to-Buy.aspx ].

    Bringing project groups closer together

    "We spend a lot of time with customers, and it is great to bring solutions to the
market designed with their specific needs in mind," comments Morten Nielsen, Marketing
Director, Contex A/S. "The IQ Quattro is uniquely designed for sharing in an office and
bringing project groups together through cloud collaboration."

    The IQ Quattro is Contex's 4th-generation CIS scanner. It contains proven technology
from Contex's CCD range and CIS technology, refined to match customers' requirements for
quality, speed, and ease of use. The scanner's new magnetic document guides make loading
long documents easier and more precise, and detachable return guides simplify document
handling.

    A seamless part of a work-group's day-to-day operation
Nielsen comments, "The new technology provides users with sharp and natural scans. It
eliminates wrinkles and folds in originals and produces clear, crisp scans - every time.
And the smart ways of sharing with project teams at other sites make collaborating on
large plans and documents a seamless part of a workgroup's day-to-day operation."

    Exclusive to Contex wide format scanners, the IQ Quattro is PageDrop-enabled for cloud
computing. Users simply load a document, scan the QR code, and the web-app will send the
scanned image to the desired location: email, DropBox, HP ePRint, Google Drive, Microsoft
SkyDrive, or Box.com.

    Contex's Gigabit Network also comes standard with all IQ Quattro models. The fast
network avoids bottlenecks by supporting speeds of up to 80 MB/sec. The scanner can be
networked with an entire workgroup, and one-touch buttons can send scans to users' desired
locations. With its quick, 1-second start from standby mode, the IQ Quattro makes it easy
to be productive with scanning projects. More efficient than Energy Star requirements, the
IQ Quattro is uses only 0.5W in standby mode.

    The IQ Quattro is available as a stand-alone scanner or bundled in the following
options:

       
        - IQ Quattro ScanStation is ideal for high productivity use. It includes the
          scanner, an intuitive touchscreen, Nextimage Repro's powerful software features, and a
          height-adjustable stand with the option to operate the screen from left or right.
        - IQ Quattro MFP2GO is an easy plug-and-play solution that turns a printer into
          a copier. It includes the scanner, MFP2GO controller, and a low or high stand.
        - IQ Quattro MFP Repro can turn all new or existing printers into powerful
          copiers. It includes the scanner, intuitive Nextimage Repro software, and a low or
          high stand.

Elbit Systems of America showcasing the JHMCS II and Embedded Training at Air Force Association Air Warfare Symposium and Technology Exposition

Providing Airman the Mission Advantage

FORT WORTH, Texas, February 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    Recognizing the pilot's need for situational awareness and advanced training, Elbit
Systems of America, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., is showcasing
its innovative solutions in booth #322 during the 30th Annual Air Force Association Air
Warfare and Technology Exposition in Orlando, Florida, February 19-21, 2014.

    JHMCS II is the next generation Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) from the
joint venture of Elbit Systems of America and Rockwell Collins. Featuring more
intelligence and capabilities than its predecessor, the JHMCS II provides pilot
intelligent vision, enhanced situational awareness across the entire battle space during
day and night operations, and uses high definition, color symbology while keeping the
pilot's head up and eyes out. For over 15 years, the JHMCS has been a combat-proven,
helmet-mounted display choice for fixed-wing aircraft, including the F/A-18, F-16, and
F-15. The JHMCS II was developed to meet the needs of the modern military aircrew and
provides a superior level of situational awareness. "Pilots flying with JHMCS II will have
a decided advantage when they observe, orient, decide and act," said Mark Hodge, Vice
President Business Development of Elbit Systems of America, LLC. "We worked alongside
warfighters to create a superior system that improves information access."

    To assist in preparing the pilots for combat, Elbit Systems of America's Embedded
Virtual Avionics (EVA[TM]) provides live, virtual, constructive (LVC) training making
every sortie an training opportunity. EVA transforms trainer aircraft into an advanced
virtual fighter aircraft and provides fighter aircraft with virtual air and ground
adversaries. "Pilots in the trainer are able to see, operate, and experience functional
weapon systems while our fighter pilots get to train in challenging scenarios free from
range, threat and adversary aircraft scheduling constraints," commented Hodge. "Because
training is conducted in a virtual environment, training effectiveness increases and cost
decrease." An advanced, proven solution, EVA is integrated with numerous mission computers
installed on the world's leading trainer aircraft.

    Both the JHMCSII and EVA will be on display during the expo. For more information,

Nespresso Set To Revolutionize The North American Coffee Market With The Launch Of Vertuoline(TM)

VERTUOLINE(TM) WILL CREATE PREMIUM LARGE-CUP COFFEE SEGMENT IN U.S.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Nespresso, the worldwide pioneer and reference in premium portioned coffee, today introduced its new VertuoLine(TM)( )system in the United States and Canada, the first Nespresso machine that brews both American style large-cup coffee and authentic espresso. Nespresso pioneered the premium portioned coffee market in Europe more than 25 years ago.  Today, the brand is set to accelerate its growth in North America and become a major player in the $4.9 billion U.S. portioned coffee market with the launch of VertuoLine(TM).

To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/65694-nespresso-vertuoline-experience-the-revolution-of-coffee

"VertuoLine(TM)( )will be a game changer and will revolutionize the most rapidly growing segment of the coffee market in North America," said Jean-Marc Duvoisin, CEO of Nestle Nespresso SA. "After pioneering the portioned coffee market in Europe and seeing tremendous growth potential in the North American market, we are confident we can become a major player in the market."

A Coffee System for the Digital Era
The new Nespresso VertuoLine(TM)( )revolutionizes the way that coffee is brewed by introducing Centrifusion(TM)technology. A world class team of Nespresso engineers and designers have created the most intelligent, elegant and ergonomic system on the market today. The intelligent extraction system provides an extremely high level of precision as the machine recognizes, through barcode technology, each expertly designed Grand Cru and adjusts the extraction parameters to brew each blend in the most optimal way. The result is a new richly aromatic, deeply flavored, crema-topped large-cup coffee (8 ounces) or espresso.

For the first time ever, coffee lovers can experience large-cup coffee with crema. The silky, generous crema is the sign of a world-class coffee and represents unprecedented quality.

The World's Finest Coffee
Only the top one to two percent of coffee beans meets the rigorous quality standards to become Nespresso Grands Crus. VertuoLine(TM)( )features a new range of eight large-cup coffees and four espresso blends, to please the most discriminating coffee drinkers. To further cater to tastes in the North American market, Nespresso has introduced eight regular coffee blends with different intensities and taste profiles, including its first-ever half-caffeinated Grand Cru coffee as well as two flavored coffees (Vanilla and Hazelnut) and one decaffeinated variety.

"The North American portioned coffee category has seen tremendous growth, with sales tripling in just three years," said Frederic Levy, President, Nespresso USA. "Despite a number of in-home offerings in this market, there is no system that delivers the quality and taste in a large-cup offering for which Nespresso is known, and we see this as an incredible opportunity to pioneer an entirely new segment. When coffee lovers try VertuoLine(TM), they will see and taste the difference, and it will make them reconsider their daily coffee rituals."

An Invitation to Experience the Revolution of Coffee
Beginning this March, Nespresso will take VertuoLine(TM)on the road for a 108-day tour, inviting Americans nationwide to participate in a revolutionary coffee experience that, along with our retail partners and Boutiques, aims to reach up to 1 million people. Five simultaneous teams will travel the country to 17 different cities where coffee lovers will have a chance to visit a unique installation called the NespressoVertuoLine(TM)( )Pop-Up and experience the revolution of coffee.  Tasting venues will include malls across the country as well as major transportation hubs, Union Station in Washington, D.C., and Grand Central Terminal in New York, NY.

Pricing and Availability
VertuoLine(TM) ( )is available in three colors (red, black and chrome) for $299, or the VertuoLine(TM) bundle with the Aeroccino Plus milk frother can be purchased for $349. VertuoLine(TM)( )will be available for purchase at http://www.nespresso.com, through the Nespresso Club (1.877.964.6299) and at Sur La Table, Williams-Sonoma, Bloomingdale's and Macy's starting February 20(th), and select fine retailers starting April 1(st). VertuoLine(TM)( )will be available at all Nespresso Flagship Boutiques (New York, Miami, Boston, Dallas, San Francisco and Beverly Hills) beginning March 1(st).

Trimble V10 Imaging Rover Now Available

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today that the Trimble® V10 Imaging Rover is now available through its Geospatial Division distribution network. The Trimble V10 Imaging Rover, introduced at INTERGEO 2013, enables professionals in a broad range of industries to quickly capture rich positioning data and 360 degree documentation of their surrounding environment. In the office, users can take measurements and create comprehensive deliverables using Trimble Business Center office software.

Trimble V10 Imaging Rover

The Trimble V10 with Trimble VISION(TM) technology leverages calibrated imaging sensors allowing digital images to be captured directly from the range pole. Twelve calibrated cameras--seven panoramic and five downward-looking--integrated in the Trimble V10 provide complete site visualization and documentation that can be used to make photogrammetric measurements.

Easy to use with one button, the Trimble V10 enables geospatial professionals to capture large amounts of data in less time. Metric imaging is ideal for data capture when there are many features to collect or where features are complex or difficult to reach. The solution works standalone or can be seamlessly integrated with the Trimble R10 GNSS receiver and Trimble S-series total stations such as the Trimble S8, so panoramic images can easily be captured along with positions for a highly accurate geospatial dataset.

Combined with the Trimble Tablet Rugged PC and Trimble Access(TM) field software, the Trimble V10 collects visual documentation of the jobsite with corresponding positioning information for subsequent office measurement. Trimble Access(TM) offers a simple and intuitive process to capture and review images and store observations. To quickly generate traditional and innovative deliverables, Trimble Business Center provides intuitive close-range photogrammetry tools to efficiently extract survey grade measurements from the Trimble V10 images. The rich image data can also be mined later to satisfy new customer requests, saving time and reducing the need for revisits to the job site. 

"Since our initial introduction in the fourth quarter of 2013, the market reaction has been extremely positive," said Phil Sawarynski, business area director of Imaging Solutions for Trimble's Geospatial Division. "Customers engaged in a range of industries including surveying and engineering, civil infrastructure and oil and gas immediately see that this technology can transform the way they work. We're also seeing significant interest from outside our traditional customer base of geospatial professionals. By reducing the time needed for fieldwork and increasing both the depth and utility of data available for analysis, the V10 is an ideal imaging solution for a variety of positioning applications."

About Trimble

Trimble applies technology to make field and mobile workers in businesses and government significantly more productive. Solutions are focused on applications requiring position or location--including surveying, construction, agriculture, fleet and asset management, public safety and mapping. In addition to utilizing positioning technologies, such as GPS, lasers and optics, Trimble solutions may include software content specific to the needs of the user. Wireless technologies are utilized to deliver the solution to the user and to ensure a tight coupling of the field and the back office. Founded in 1978, Trimble is headquartered in Sunnyvale, Calif.

Allot Launches New Mobile Trends Report: Factors Influencing Video Experience on Mobile Networks

Allot Launches New Mobile Trends Report: Factors Influencing Video Experience on Mobile Networks

Report Finds that Bandwidth Allocation Does Not Match Video Requirements, Device Matters, and Appropriate Video Container Can Improve the Subscriber's Perceived QoE

HOD HASHARON, Israel, February 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    Allot Communications Ltd [http://www.allot.com ]. (NASDAQ: ALLT), a leading supplier
of service optimization and revenue generation solutions for fixed and mobile broadband
operators, today announced the availability of its February 2014 Allot MobileTrends
Report, "Measuring the Mobile Video Experience
[http://www.allot.com/mobile_trends_Q1_2014.html?campidp1D0000000n2uT ]," which explores
the factors that impact video delivery quality over mobile data networks. The report
examines how download bandwidth, duration, resolution, mobile operating system (iOS,
Android) and video container (3GP, MP4) affect stalling, as well as how they interact to
influence the overall video viewing experience.

    Mobile subscribers tend to evaluate the overall quality of their mobile network based
on their video viewing experience, and industry studies have concluded that video stalling
has significant impact on user engagement and quality of experience. As demand for video
content grows, video delivery quality continues to be an important challenge for
operators. The report illustrates how video analytics can be used to address these
challenges.

    The statistical information presented in the report includes a randomly selected
sample of 300,000 representative video detail records (VDRs) from hundreds of millions of
unmanaged mobile video transactions during a given week. The source data was extracted
anonymously from a mobile service provider in a developed country during December 2013.

    Mobile Video Delivery - Key Findings:

       
        - Actual bandwidth allocation by the network has no correlation to the video
          stream requirements.
        - Laptops with dongles experience more video stalls than smartphones, however
          laptop users will continue to watch the video for longer durations, regardless of
          stalls.
        - The video delivery container directly affects the mobile viewing experience.
        - Insufficient allocated bandwidth for the video session will result in video
          stalls.
        - Videos watched for longer durations are likely to have more stalls.

    "Since customers tend to judge the quality of their mobile network based on the
quality of their video viewing experience, it is crucial for mobile operators to be able
to accurately measure the experience and better understand the factors that affect it,"
said Andrei Elefant, VP Marketing and Product Management at Allot Communications. "This
report clearly demonstrates that video analytics together with video management and
optimization tools can help mobile operators improve the video experience, thus making
them more competitive."

    The full February 2014 Allot MobileTrends Report, complete with statistical graphics
and charts, can be downloaded here

Brother Takes Mobile Office-Tech Beyond The Cloud

MANCHESTER, England, February 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    Taking office technology to a new level, Brother is preparing to showcase its latest
mobile-focused innovations - and has literally gone beyond the clouds and into space.

    (Logo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140219/671082 )

    The office tech specialist's newest technology is designed to meet the demands of
today's mobile savvy workforce - so office functions like printing, digitising and virtual
conferencing are more accessible.

    Speaking ahead of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Simon Stones, Senior
Manager, S&S Commercial from Brother International Europe (BIE), said: "We are making
giant leaps to ensure technology is available when and where it is needed. Taking this to
the extreme - children at venues across Japan have communicated in real-time with an
astronaut during a space mission, using our OmniJoin web conferencing platform[1] -
proving just how powerful today's office technology can be.

    "Mobile technology has revolutionised the office and continues to move at a pace. It
has brought unprecedented freedom for business to be conducted at a time and place that
suits - but many still rely on the traditional office for a number of day-to-day tasks.
Our latest products are designed with connectivity and mobility in mind, to enhance
on-the-go workflow."

    Phil Sargeant, program director of IDC's Western European Imaging Hardware Devices and
Document Solutions group commented: "The increase in mobile device usage, coupled with the
proliferation of cloud and Big Data technologies, has significantly changed the way in
which data is created, accessed and printed. Consumerisaton of IT is adding to the demand
for mobile office functions - with nine per cent of printed pages coming from smartphones

Acision Launches Diameter Intelligent Signalling Controller; Enabling Operators to Have Greater Control Over Diameter Based Networks

LONDON, February 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

          Intelligent dynamic routing solution, with pre-emptive overload protection
and smart Quality of Service (QoS) management, assures high availability and profitability

                                     of LTE networks

    Acision, a global mobile services leader, today launches Acision Diameter Intelligent
Signalling Controller (DiSC), enabling operators rolling out LTE and Evolved Packet
Switched core networks, to dynamically control and manage increasing data traffic to drive
efficiencies and protect their revenue streams.

    LTE subscriptions are growing significantly, as is the volume of data on those
networks, with the GSMA predicting that there will be 465 LTE networks in play by 2017. As
part of this roll-out, operators are turning to IP network architectures, incorporating
LTE with existing 3G networks, to better meet demands for more, faster data. As a result
operators need to optimise the network infrastructure, increasing control and security
over their Evolved Packet Core signalling networks and relieving pressure from increases
in traffic, while enabling network scalability.

    Acision DiSC controls 4G LTE Diameter signalling traffic, leveraging dynamic
multi-layer routing mechanisms. This enables operators to develop an efficient Evolved
Packet Switched Core network based on a future proof architecture, with increased
resilience and smart signalling flow control. For example, pre-emptive overload protection
helps to maintain the efficiency of Diameter traffic management during unexpected traffic
peaks, or so called "signalling storms". Our Smart Quality of Service (QoS) management
also helps to ensure guaranteed signalling channels for the operator's most valuable
subscribers and services under any load conditions.

    Adolfo Hernandez, CEO at Acision commented: "Operators are facing an explosion in data
traffic. As smartphone and tablet use increases, alongside data-heavy applications such as
video and social media channels, the network is under increasing pressure to perform to
higher standards. At the same time, operators have to balance their need to monetise these
networks with maintaining quality of service. As the most comprehensive diameter routing
solution on the market, Acision DiSC not only protects network assets but allows operators
the flexibility to manage their quality of service, by dynamically routing traffic to
safeguard their most important customers and applications."

    Through the advanced Diameter interface control mechanisms, Acision DiSC also enables
numerous LTE roaming and interconnect scenarios. With its range of security features, such
as connectivity access control, topology hiding, volumetric traffic measurements and
conditional protocol validations, an operator is able to ensure connectivity with other
service providers regardless of whether their network is any combination of 2G, 3G or 4G,
in a secure manner.

    JF Sullivan, EVP Product Management and CMO at Acision, added: "LTE investment is key
for operators today to ensure that they are meeting consumer demands for more data and
speed, but better network management means operators can also focus on the profitability
of their LTE rollout.

    "Our combined DiSC router and broker is hardware independent, allowing operators
complete freedom to choose their hardware supplier. It may also be deployed in an
operator's own cloud environment while still delivering telecom grade performance. An
intuitive management interface provides a real time view of the connectivity status and
current load on all diameter links, enabling easy and non-service affecting
reconfiguration. By improving the management, efficiency and scalability of the network
with our solution, operators are able to future-proof their LTE investments."

    To meet Acision to discuss this further, please visit stand 8.1A41, Hall 8 (App
planet) at Mobile World Congress.

Introducing 9 Player Rummy by Ace2Three for the First Time in India

HYDERABAD, India, February 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    Rummy fans, come and be galvanized by the 9 players game. Log on to http://www.ace2three.com
[http://www.ace2three.com ].

    The 9 players game is for all rummy fans who have been looking out for newer
challenges to sharpen their talons on. Ace2Three now introduces the exciting variant of
online rummy in the form of 9 players online rummy game.

    (Logo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130417/608029-a)

    3 decks of cards and 9 players make this card game table a multiplication in sheer
thrills.

    For the uninformed, the 9 players game is a much more refined version of the regular
Indian classical rummy game. While the regular game limits the number of players at a
table, the '9 Player Rummy' has what the name suggests, 9 players at the table. And with 9
passionate players raring to win the card game, the frenzy can easily reach manic
proportions.

    If players are looking for fresh rummy variants that keep the spirits high, then this
is indeed the place and time for it. Most fans of the 13 card rummy games know the common
variants of the game, i.e. 101 pool, 201 pool and points rummy.

    Here is how the 9 players game differs from other rummy variants. The 9 Player Rummy
version uses 3 card decks on the table. Just imagine what that could do to the already
feverish sentiments at an online rummy table. With so many cards to manage and so many
people challenging, players could participate in this game only for the kind of
galvanizing thrill it offers.

    The rules for 9 Player Rummy are similar to the regular online rummy game, barring a
few interesting tweaks. Find out more here at http://www.ace2three.com [http://www.ace2three.com
].

    It sounds easy, yes and it most certainly sounds sensational. If players feel they are
wizards with card games and want to clash with the cards, then they can test their mettle
in the 9 players game. Passionate rummy players, true rummy colors are bound to come out
here.

    About Ace2Three

    Ace2Three, a product of Head Infotech India Pvt Ltd, is India's No.1 online rummy
portal that provides the best user experience to all its players and keeps them engaged
constantly with different promotional offers and a variety of special tournaments.

(Logo: http://www.prnasia.com/sa/2012/12/05/20121205155959811273-l.jpg )

A game-changer for product design, engineering and manufacturing processes, the Objet500 Connex3 Color Multi-material 3D Printer features a unique triple-jetting technology that combines droplets of three base materials to produce parts with virtually unlimited combinations of rigid, flexible, and transparent color materials as well as color digital materials -- all in a single print run. This ability to achieve the characteristics of an assembled part without assembly or painting is a significant time-saver. It can help product manufacturers validate designs and make good decisions earlier before committing to manufacturing, and bring products to market faster.

"Stratasys' goal is to help our customers revolutionize their design and manufacturing processes," says Jonathan Jaglom, General Manager, Asia Pacific & Japan at Stratasys AP Ltd. I believe our new Objet500 Connex3 Color Multi-material 3D Printer will transform the way our customers design, engineer and manufacture new products.  In general and with the Connex technology in particular, we will continue to push the envelope of what's possible in a 3D world."

The concept of the new 2014 Accessory Collection is based on Nakazato's belief in bridging innovation and acessibility of fashion. Nakazato, with assistance from Sun Junjie, a young designer collaborating on the project, work together to conceptualize the 3D printed accessories pieces, using 3D CAD software and the new Objet500 Connex3 Printer. Color, rubber-like and transparent materials are used simultaneously to enable the rigid, clear and flexible parts.

"With the new colors and materials combinations, there's so many different choices we could experiment with on our ideas.  The versatility allows for more imagination, going beyond traditional limits," says Nakazato.  "Objet500 Connex3 is transforming the design landscape."  The 2014 Accessory Collection will be premiered and toured at Stratasys events in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, mainland China (Beijing, Shanghai) and Hong Kong.

Engineers at beta user Trek Bicycle in Waterloo, Wisconsin are using the Objet500 Connex3 Color Multi-material 3D Printer for assessment and testing of accessories like bike chain stay guards and handlebar grips prior to actual production. "The Objet500 Connex3 Color Multi-material 3D Printer changed the way we manufacture at Trek,  augmenting our traditional, time-consuming CNC processes with fast, iterative and realistic prototyping and functional testing," says Mike Zeigle, manager of Trek's prototype development group.

"Now we produce bicycle parts that look and feel like production parts. We are particularly excited about 3D printing our models directly in color. This gives our designers the ability to graphically display color contact pressure map data on rider contact parts like seats and grips. We are also working on doing the same with FEA & CFD stress data on structural bike components," adds Zeigle.

Three Primary Color Materials Combine to Create a Spectrum of Vibrant Colors

Similar to a 2D inkjet printer, three color materials - VeroCyan, VeroMajenta and VeroYellow - are combined to produce hundreds of vivid colors. These color materials join Stratasys' extensive range of PolyJet photopolymer materials including digital materials, rigid, rubber-like, transparent, and high temperature materials to simulate standard and high temperature engineering plastics.

Another First: Flexible Materials in Color*

The Objet500 Connex3 Color Multi-material 3D Printer also features six palettes for new rubber-like Tango colors, ranging from opaque to transparent colors in various shore values to address markets such as automotive, consumer and sporting goods and fashion.*

"Since its introduction in 2007, the Objet Connex Multi-material 3D printing platform has paved the way for the development of advanced 3D printing materials with unique mechanical and thermal properties," says Stratasys Sr. VP of R&D for PolyJet Igal Zeitun. "The Objet500 Connex3 Color Multi-material 3D Printer produces models and parts using photopolymers in vivid colors so you can create colorful models from investigating concepts to pre-production pilot runs.

"As the first true multi-purpose 3D printer, we believe the Objet500 Connex3 Color Multi-material 3D Printer is in a league of its own, enabling you to dream up a product in the morning, and hold it in your hands by the afternoon, with the exact intended color, material properties and surface finish."

The Objet500 Connex3 Color Multi-material 3D Printer is commercially available today and is sold through Stratasys' extensive worldwide reseller network.

*The Flexible Materials in Color are expected to be commercially available in Q2/2014.

ITALTEL Launches Two End-to-End Quality of Experience Evalutation Solutions at MWC 2014

MILAN, February 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    iNES and iQAC address the need to optimize network behavior by proactively operating
and controlling the infrastructure.

    Italtel today launched two new end-to-end Network Control solutions for intelligent
networks which will help operators to enhance service levels whilst at the same time
reducing service provider OPEX.

    (Logo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130429/612742 )

    Developed from real large Telecom Operators experience - iNES, provides automation of
configuration and troubleshooting activities to supply proactive IP network care, and
iQAC, provides active monitoring for quality control, i.e. by traffic injection simulating
end customer experience.

    iNES (Italtel Network Empowerment System)
[http://www.italtel.com/en/italtel-network-empowerment-system ] effectively improves
network manageability in critical management areas, such as, troubleshooting,
configuration and analysis/assessment, where the OSS support is often poor. It automates
manual activities and facilitates issues resolution, increasing network reliability. iNES
is designed for multi-vendor purposes and can manage most Cisco and Juniper equipments.

    Meanwhile, iQAC (Italtel Quality Assurance Center)
[http://www.italtel.com/en/quality-assurance-center ] helps Service Providers to measure
customer experience. Proactively stimulating the network, iQAC acquires information about
the level of perceived service quality and makes use of active intelligent agents that
cooperate with each other and stimulate the network from its edge. The traffic simulations
foster a proactive approach to the detection of service degradation, reducing the chances
of service disruption.

    "Nowadays Telecom Operators and large enterprises face the challenge of providing an
enhanced service level, proficiently operating and managing their networks, while at the
same time reducing operating expenses," comments Stefano Pileri, CEO at Italtel. "There is
a dramatic need for cost effective technology-independent solutions that can help
seamlessly control and operate multi-vendor networks, while evaluating customer-perceived
Quality of Experience. The answer cannot come from all-purpose OSS systems, but from
end-to-end Network Control solutions like iNES and iQAC, providing specific vertical
features and enabling IT staff to avoid time-consuming manual tasks."

    With its long-term experience in deploying and managing network infrastructures for
the major Telco Operators worldwide, Italtel has developed specific knowledge on Quality
of Experience evaluation and day-to-day operations and maintenance activities.

    The deployment of effective solutions that simplify network operation activities
benefits Service Providers and Enterprises in terms of OpEx reduction, engineering
processes improvement, downtime reduction and technology skill gap reduction.

    By performing a good appraisal of Quality of Experience level, service providers can
anticipate potentially critical conditions and take the relevant measures to improve
customer retention, without lowering prices, thus preserving Average Revenue Per User
(ARPU).

Zensorium Unveils Tinke for Android

- Innovative sensory device for managing personal fitness and wellness is now available for Android smartphones -

SINGAPORE, Feb. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Due to popular demand, Tinke (pronounced tink), the innovative sensory device for smartphones that helps users manage personal fitness and wellness with the touch of a finger, is now available for use on Android, the world's most widely-used smartphone platform. After successfully launching in 2013 for use with iOS devices, Tinke has seen massive success and consumer demand, with global sales to more than 30 countries.

(Photo: http://photos.prnasia.com/prnh/20140210/8521400667 )
(Logo: http://photos.prnasia.com/prnh/20140210/8521400667LOGO )

"Our goal is simple: to empower individuals to be mindful of fitness and wellness and lead healthier lives," said Juliana Chua, Principal of Zensorium's Business Innovation Group. "We're excited that Tinke can engage with more people now that it's available for use with Android devices."

Tinke uses optical sensing technologies to quantify fitness and relaxation levels for easy understanding and comparison. By placing a fingertip on the sensing platform, Tinke measures and quantifies four key health parameters within seconds: heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen levels and heart rate variability.

The first three parameters, heart rate, respiratory rate and blood oxygen level, establish a close relationship for measuring cardio-respiratory fitness. The fourth parameter, heart rate variability, caters to the assessment of an individual's autonomic nervous system, detecting levels of stress for wellness management. Today more than ever, stress is an overlooked aspect of health, but if kept in check, it can reduce the onset of many physical and mental health issues. By understanding the functions of their bodies better, Tinke users can take steps towards improving their fitness and wellness.

The result of over three years of R&D, the simplification and compactness of Tinke's design is made possible by overcoming the challenges of signal processing and architecture design. Tinke for Android connects via Bluetooth and is powered by a Lithium-ion polymer batter that requires charging approximately once per month.

Tinke's social media integration features allow users to easily share measurements and results online across the Tinke network or Facebook. By sharing their data through the Tinke network, users can update friends of their progress and inform healthcare providers of their latest results. With Tinke's global comparisons feature, users can also see where they rank against others in the Tinke network around the world.

Pricing and Availability: Tinke for Android is available in over 30 countries at US$129 in grey and orange.

About Zensorium: Headquartered in Singapore, Zensorium is committed to empowering individuals in elevating their quality of life through the use of innovative sensing devices. Their flagship product, Tinke, is an optical sensor that monitors fitness and wellness with the touch of a finger.

In January 2014, at the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) Innovations Design and Engineering Awards in Las Vegas (USA), Zensorium was named a finalist in the Mobile Apps Showdown and was an honoree in the Health and Fitness category at the CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards.

Flexpoint Announces Advancements in Sports Shoe Projects

DRAPER, Utah, Feb. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. - Sports Division (OTCBB: FLXT), (http://www.flexpoint.com/) and Bend Tech, LLC, today announced they have completed development of the electronics and software that will be utilized in a running shoe application and in many other sport shoe related products. The completion of the project opens the way for Bend Tech and Flexpoint to aggressively pursue major shoe manufacturers. Bend Tech has been in contact with several manufacturers and now will be able to demonstrate the technology.   

The Sensor utilizes Flexpoint's patented Bend Sensor® technology and features several sensors located within the shoe to give real-time feedback of a runner's performance that can be utilized for training and teaching proper technique that will aid in the prevention of injuries.

Because the sensor features a single layer construction the sensors are not damaged or degraded by dust, dirt or other particulates. Moisture and immersion in mud, water, sweat and many other chemicals are not an issue.

The system will provide real time analysis showing balance, performance and other pertinent data relating to performance of the individual. The fast response time of the sensor allows it to provide time differentials between heel and toe strike. Other metrics like cadence, ground contact time, the time the foot is not in contact with the ground, shoe loading and unloading profiles and information critical to training and injury prevention can be measured and captured for later review and analysis. Running information can be easily integrated into social media and training logs for quick feedback and analysis.

The electronics include miniaturized printed circuit boards, a wireless communication system, blue tooth technologies, wireless rechargeable batteries and "smart phone" interface.   

An example of the available feedback can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm1KsAiJ0mM&feature=em-upload_owner

Clark Mower, President of Flexpoint stated, "It is exciting to see the culmination of efforts produce a product with so many applications. The graphics are excellent and can be adapted to many similar sports related applications. The product has the ability to link and communicate with smart phones that can show real time data. It also has the ability to collect data for future training and comparisons and to communicate with other currently available technologies. This will allow our products to offer significant advantages and cost savings to potential users and should enhance their acceptability. The completion of the project opens the way for us to aggressively pursue major shoe manufacturers. We look forward to bringing these products to market and believe that many of them will be available this year."
