New Predictive Analytics in CA Capacity Management Enhance Business Service Reliability

MUMBAI, August 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    CA Technologies Service Assurance Solution Increases Data Center Efficiency by
Accurately Forecasting Required Resources

    CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced a new release of CA Capacity Management
[http://www.ca.com/us/capacity-management.aspx ] that enables enterprises and service
providers to provide more reliable business services by better predicting the optimal
resources needed to support applications that reside in mainframe, distributed, virtual
and/or hybrid cloud environments. The solution's new analytical capabilities also provide
data that can help organizations reduce data center costs and risk, and improve business
agility.

    According to "IT Optimization through Predictive Capacity Management"
[http://www.ca.com/us/~/media/Files/IndustryAnalystReports/it-optimization-through-predictive-capacity-management.pdf ]
, an Enterprise Management Associates white paper commissioned
by CA Technologies, "real-time configuration, performance, and utilization data
constitutes the baseline for any accurate capacity calculation. When analyzing [this]
data, it is essential to not only take a look at peak and average activity, but also
include mid and long-term resource usage patterns. This information helps the IT
department understand how workloads are currently growing and how they might contend for
resources in the future. To ensure accuracy, capacity management software must include
algorithms to validate the quality and completeness of the imported data."

    CA Capacity Management uniquely provides advanced scalability and capacity analysis
for the cross-platform enterprise to provide customers with the prescriptive insight
needed to make informed business decisions to enhance quality of service and quality of
experience. For example, the new version of the solution helps customers to:

       
        - Model mainframe capacity and perform what-if analyses for complete,
          end-to-end capacity modeling;
        - Preview how applications will perform and how much they will cost when
          considering hybrid cloud migration initiatives;
        - Efficiently reserve capacity for upcoming projects, application roll-outs, and
          users or companies being added to the environment; and
        - Achieve greater data center efficiency, higher resource utilization rates, and
          even more accurate predictions on application performance with expanded support for CA
          Infrastructure Management
          [http://www.ca.com/us/products/detail/CA-Infrastructure-Management.aspx ] and
          Microsoft SCOM environments.

    "Virtualization and cloud computing have raised a variety of challenges for companies
in managing the performance of business services. They need to anticipate how their
applications will perform in new environments; if they have adequate infrastructure
capacity to deliver on their SLAs; when they will need to bring additional infrastructure
on-line to support demand; and whether these services are being delivered as efficiently
as possible," said Stephen Miles, VP, Service Assurance, APJ, CA Technologies. "The new
predictive analytics capabilities in CA Capacity Management provide the insight that help
IT organizations ensure the delivery of high quality, reliable services while optimizing
their investment in supporting infrastructure and freeing up investment for other
innovative projects."

    Customers can use the operational intelligence of CA Capacity Management to determine
the impact on performance, capacity and response time as a result of changing workloads,
configurations and platforms. These platforms include public cloud vendors, such as
Amazon(TM), Microsoft(R), Rackspace(R), Savvis(R) and Verizon Terremark; virtualization
platforms, such as VMware(R); and hardware/OS environments, including Windows(R), Linux(R)
on either Intel(R) or AMD, and z/OS(R) on the mainframe.

    "Cost analysis is very important to customers in their cloud migration initiatives and
it is very cool to be able to see utilization and cost levels when comparing cloud vendor
platforms for migration efforts in the new release of CA Capacity Management," said
Torsten Volk, Research Director, Systems Management, Enterprise Management Associates.
"The new enhancements in the latest release of CA Capacity Management are in-line with
what my current field research is producing. It is essential for organizations to take
advantage of a capacity planning and analysis tool such as CA Capacity Management,
especially when deploying cloud solutions."

center efficiency, deliver on service levels and align IT with the business, please visit:

New Agriculture, Forestry And Land Management Integrated Unmanned Data Acquisition And Management Solution And The IMINT C4EYE UAS Launched By C-ASTRAL At AUVSI Unmanned Systems 2013

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- C-ASTRAL Ltd. (http://www.c-astral.com), a provider of small unmanned integrated systems for surveying, remote sensing and ISR has launched a new integrated software/hardware solution for agriculture, forestry and land management in partnership with the GIS software solutions provider SINERGISE.  Based on the new electric powered 9lbs MTOW BRAMOR gEO mkIV unmanned system, capable of 2hr endurance with dual,  visible light (25Mp) and multispectral (3.2Mp) sensors on board and a seamless acquisition and processing chain, the integrated system offers a unique remote sensing and surveying capability that is applicable to agricultural, forestry, classical surveying and land management tasks.

The BRAMOR gEO mkIV is developed around the legacy advanced BRAMOR gEO mkII blended wing body systems that are operated by surveying, security and R&D entities on 5 continents. The BRAMOR gEO mkIV system is capable of acquisition of data and extraction of NDVI, SAVI, canopy segmentation and NIR/Green ratios, formatted for all major commercial image registration, DTM and GIS mapping software packages due to its flexible hardware and software architecture. The hardware package consists of a 25Mp sensor with a 19mm or 30mm lens and a 3.2Mp CMOS sensor in Red, Green and Near Infrared bands, approximating TM2, TM3 and TM4 and the C-ASTRAL high precision image acquisition and data logging  system. The complete system consists of a Ground Control Station including  a guidance system, the C-ASTRAL gEOPILOT mission planning suite, which enables arbitrary mission geometry planning for surveying of roads, rivers, riverbeds and following of terrain elevation features and the airborne sensor fixed wing vehicle. The airborne system is completely in-flight reprogrammable and offers an advanced fail-safe architecture and options such as an integrated ADS-B transponder and situational awareness video feeds. The 2hr endurance can be optionally extended to 3hrs with classical power storage solutions and engine optimization. 

In partnership with SINERGISE (http://www.sinergise.com), C-ASTRAL is providing a solutions package of location based applications that are vertically integrated and networked. Based on GIS libraries Giselle(TM), the framework for efficient spatial and attribute data management and editing that resides in the Cloud, offers an easy to use solution for agricultural and land management that is capable of being integrated with accounting and ERP systems. From Property and Lease and subsidy management tools, to farm management, the system provides support and comprehensive tools for registration of all actions taken on agricultural and forestry parcels, including crop structure from previous years and planning tools for efficient use of parcels within the current year, including forest management, livestock and diary management support.

Precision farming is supported with a set of tools to produce application maps considering various sets of inputs from ground and air based sensors, such as soil map analysis, agronomical information, nutrient maps, yield maps and other layered live and historical remote sensing data.

The SINERGISE/C-ASTRAL solution is completely scalable, from one farm and small scale forestry operations support with individual licensing to large, country scale comprehensive GIS data management and acquisition solutions.

Different elements of the applications were up to now fielded with institutional and research partners in Slovenia, United Kingdom, Croatia, Macedonia, Mauritius, Nigeria and Tanzania using satellite and legacy orthophoto data, but with the pairing of the software suite with the BRAMOR gEO mkIV system, a completely new scale of revisit times and high fidelity remote sensing data acquisition is becoming a reality.

At AUVSI Unmanned Systems 2013, C-ASTRAL also unveiled the new imagery intelligence gathering UAS platform, the BRAMOR C4EYE aimed at the security, civil protection and NGO environmental protection markets.

The C4EYE with a 3hr endurance and an up to 30km completely scalable and adaptable digital or analogue video links covering a range of radio spectra is based on the C-ASTRAL legacy EO and EOi systems and uses an adaptable sensor architecture that includes stabilized video gimbals carrying electro-optical and IR sensors and a combined EO/IR or SWIR and laser illuminator small and retractable turret.

Like all the C-ASTRAL UAS systems the C4EYE can be launched safely and in stabilized manner either with an elastic or pneumatic catapult in temperatures as low as -25 deg Celsius and lands with a parachute system.

In early 2014, the C4EYE will be test flown at the Oklahoma Training Center for Unmanned Systems as part of the Robotic Aircraft for Public Safety (RAPS) testing program.

Radio Industry Delivers FM-enabled Smartphone App to Consumers

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Unprecedented coordination by radio broadcasters led to today's announcement that Sprint will begin installing the NextRadio® application in a broad array of FM-enabled wireless devices over the coming years, allowing consumers to listen to their local radio stations on their smartphones.

"Today we set a new course as an industry, one that will bring exciting audience and advertiser engagement opportunities," Emmis Chairman & CEO Jeff Smulyan said.  "This announcement is a credit to the entire radio industry, which has unified to make this happen."

The announcement by Sprint also marks the official launch of NextRadio®, the smartphone app that delivers a highly interactive artist and ad experience to FM-enabled smartphones.

Data for the NextRadio® app is supplied by TagStation®, the cloud-based engine that offers stations the ability to upload branding images that will display as default artwork in the NextRadio® app, as well as call letters, format, station name and slogan. This basic, free level of station integration is open to all radio stations and creates a compelling experience within the app as the user is able to quickly associate their local stations with familiar visuals while browsing.

If a station does not register at TagStation®, listeners using the NextRadio® app will still be able to hear the radio station but may not see the station's logo displayed.

"Whether the station is large market, medium market, small market, commercial or non-commercial, this free service will provide listeners with a visual radio listening experience on the FM-enabled smartphone. Radio stations no longer have to add the cost of Internet Streaming to get local FM radio on a mobile device," said Paul Brenner, Emmis' Chief Technology Officer and President, NextRadio, LLC.  "Adding full TagStation® capabilities allows radio stations to offer listeners features like album art and artist information, listener feedback, song tagging capabilities, enhanced advertising options and social integration, which dramatically enhance the listening experience."

Smulyan noted that more than 1,500 stations signed up for the free services offered by TagStation® and thousands more are expected following today's product launch. Additionally, industry leaders like Beasley, CBS Radio, Entercom, Greater Media and Hubbard registered for the additional services through TagStation®.

The Radio Advertising Bureau and National Association of Broadcasters enthusiastically endorse the idea of FM receivers in smartphones.  The NextRadio® system brings that feature to select Sprint smartphones and includes every radio station in America on the service. To see a demonstration of the NextRadio® app, go to http://tagstation.com/NextRadio/.  To sign your station up for this free service, visit http://www.tagstation.com/signup

Epson Introduces Bright and Powerful PowerLite 1200-Series Projectors for Small and Medium Sized Businesses

Starting at $549, the Epson PowerLite 1222 and PowerLite 1262W Deliver Wireless Connectivity and Easy-to-Use Features

LONG BEACH, Calif., Aug. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Epson, the number-one selling projector brand worldwide(1), today announced the PowerLite(®) 1222 and 1262W multimedia projectors, offering a wide range of features designed to provide small- to medium-sized businesses with high-brightness at an affordable price. Sold exclusively through distribution, value-added reseller and direct market reseller channels, the PowerLite 1222 and 1262W offer high brightness, wireless connectivity and innovative features that ensure flexible placement and quick setup in any room.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121130/LA21891LOGO)

"Small to medium-sized businesses are looking for projection solutions that offer extremely high quality and a range of features, but that are also really intuitive and offer stress-free set up," said Jason Meyer, product manager, Epson America. "The new PowerLite 1222 and 1262W are simple yet powerful, wielding easy set-up features and high brightness, making them appropriate for nearly any office environment."

The PowerLite 1222 features XGA resolution, while the PowerLite 1262W offers widescreen HD performance with WXGA resolution. Epson projectors offer three times brighter colors than leading competitive projectors with 3LCD, 3-chip technology(2). Both the new PowerLite models deliver 3,000 lumens of color brightness and 3,000 lumens of white brightness(3) for brilliant, true-to-life image quality. Additional features include:

    --  3LCD Technology: Features the latest, 3LCD, 3-chip technology to deliver
        amazing, true-to-life color and detail for powerful presentations; 3LCD
        technology provides an energy efficient light engine which efficiently
        uses available lamp light to create stunning images; in contrast to
        1-chip DLP technology, 3LCD requires, on average, 25 percent less
        electricity per lumen of brightness(4)
    --  Advanced Connectivity: Both models deliver wireless connectivity and
        HDMI digital video and audio in one cable for easy setup
    --  Epson iProjection((TM)): Leveraging the free Epson iProjection
        application, presenters can project to the PowerLite 1222 and 1262W from
        most iOS Apple devices running iOS 4.2 or later and most Android devices
        running Android 2.3 or later
    --  USB Plug 'n Play: Instantly projects images, video and audio from a
        Windows(®) PC or Mac(®) computer via a USB connection, allowing for
        easier set up and eliminating the need for bulky VGA cables and toggling
        between computer keys
    --  Easy Image Alignment: Keystone Correction squares the image even if the
        projector is placed off-center from the screen - both models feature
        automatic vertical keystone correction and manual horizontal keystone
        correction provides easy and convenient operation in multiple settings
    --  Lens Control: Provides easy zoom and focus
    --  Positioning Flexibility: 1.2x digital zoom requires a shorter throw
        distance, allowing for the projection of large images in smaller rooms;
        a 60-inch image can be projected from a distance of approximately four
        feet away
Color Brightness Specification and Projector Performance

The new color brightness specification (measuring red, green and blue) published by the Society of Information Display (SID) allows consumers to compare projector color performance without conducting a side-by-side shootout. With today's high definition content, presenters can display content with higher quality in brighter environments. For a truly impressive image, projectors need to offer both high color brightness and high white brightness. High color brightness is important for larger screen sizes and provides flexibility for a variety of screen materials. Without sufficient color brightness, images may be muddy, soft and lose detail, even in a dark room. For more information, visit http://www.colorlightoutput.com.

Availability and Support

The Epson PowerLite 1222 ($549*) and PowerLite 1262W ($649*) will be available in September 2013 through national resellers, mail order, distribution, and through the Epson ImageWay(SM) Partner Program. Epson's PowerLite projectors come with a two-year limited warranty that includes two elite technical support services - Epson PrivateLine(®) phone support with direct access to an expedited support telephone line and a two-year Road Service projector replacement program that includes projector exchange in one business day with paid shipping.

Leading Computer Repair Provider Now Offers New Jersey Data Recovery Services

Dave's Computers' in-store data recovery service gives customers upfront diagnostic results and faster turnaround that costs less than big box store competitors.

HILLSBOROUGH, N.J., Aug. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- New Jersey computer repair store Dave's Computers now provides fast data recovery service by first diagnosing problems with in-store hard drive diagnostic service. Employing a team of hardware and software engineers, the staff members at Dave's Computers use the latest tools to recover data from a variety of devices, file formats, and hardware. "We recover data from any sort of loss, such as data corruption, hardware failure, system crashes, viruses, or any sort of human error," said owner Dave Molnar.

Data recovery New Jersey service at Dave's Computers rivals that of big box stores in both price and speed. Data recovery at Dave's Computers starts at $199 and is usually completed within 24 hours to help customers get back online quickly. "We offer our services at all times of the day, 365 days a year," said Molnar."Our customer service department assists customers by phone and live chat." Engineers at Dave's Computers work with a variety of operating systems and platforms for data recovery - including external storage devices, USB drives, and older technologies - to recover data, images, videos, and music.

When customers bring their computers to Dave's Computers, the friendly and knowledgeable staff is able to communicate right away what needs to be repaired, how long it will take, and how much it will cost. "Customers often tell me customer service at a big retail store takes more than a week to communicate whether data recovery is even possible," said Molnar. "At our store, we are upfront with pricing and always provide a timeframe for data recovery."

Upfront diagnostic service not only gives customers a timeframe for repair service, but also saves money by diagnosing computer problems more accurately so the right repair can be made. "One of our customers had been quoted a $1,500 data recovery service fee at a big box retailer," said Molnar. "After a quick diagnostic check, I found the customer's power adapter voltage was too high. Instead of data recovery, all that was needed was a $20 power adapter."

About Dave's Computers, Inc.:

Dave's Computers began as a mobile computer repair service. As the business grew, founder Dave Molnar opened a storefront in 2011 and quickly added data recovery services. Now, with remote support systems, Dave's Computers offers services throughout the United States.

        apps, entertain kids with games, and book a Hertz reservation, among
        other things.
    --  On-Site Business Tools: Customers can print on-site and access FedEx
        directly inside the store to send important documents and packages.
    --  Increased Visibility for Rental Options: New vehicle displays showcase
        Hertz's unique and exciting rentals - such as the Hertz Penske GT in the
        U.S. - that have been added to raise visibility of the company's
        expanding fleet options among customers, a further connect with car
        lovers.
    --  Sustainability Leadership - The facility transformations also adhere to
        the company's commitment to global sustainability best practices.
Specific sustainable construction and design highlights include LEED certification at select sites, the use of LED and energy efficient lighting, solar power systems and solar outdoor lighting at select sites, post-consumer recycled content materials and finishes, water saving fixtures and zero-VOC paints. In conjunction with renovation projects, Hertz is rolling out a national single-stream recycling program in addition to current recycling efforts around automotive waste oils and tires. Other Hertz Living Journey sustainability program outcomes include production of 2.5M kWh of solar energy annually and sustainable mobility solutions. More than 75% of the company's fleet averages 28+ MPGs and the  Green Traveller Collection offers a variety of alternate fuel vehicles, including Electric Vehicles, Clean Diesels, Compressed Natural Gas vehicles and hybrids.

Comcast Launches the X1 Platform From Xfinity in Richmond Area

X1 transforms traditional TV into an Entertainment Operating System - complete with personalization and social media tools, tailored-for-TV apps and more

RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast today announced the launch of the X1 Platform from Xfinity in the Richmond area.  Unlike any other video service available, X1 uses IP technology delivered over Comcast's network to create the world's first Entertainment Operating System.  X1 integrates the largest collection of video with social media features, interactive apps, web content and more in one easy-to-navigate, sleek viewing experience.

"With the X1 Platform, we're keeping our customers at the forefront of innovation, and providing them an entertainment experience unlike any they've seen before," said Tom Coughlin, senior vice president of Comcast's Beltway Region.  "By leveraging IP and cloud-based technology, we have the flexibility to continually bring new enhancements to customers, further integrate our services and ultimately make TV viewing smarter, richer and more personalized."

The launch of X1 is part of Comcast's ongoing and evolving effort to take advantage of IP technology and the cloud to constantly bring new innovations to market.  For example, Comcast has completed more than 1,200 updates to the X1 Platform since its launch in 2011.

X1 features currently include:

    --  A modern user interface that enables one-click access to programs and a
        highly visual guide to entertainment options and related information
    --  A personalized viewing experience with recommendations based on search
        input and previously watched shows and movies
    --  The ability to search simultaneously across live TV, Xfinity On Demand
        and DVR recordings - and see the last nine programs  watched across all
        services with a single tap on the remote control
    --  The ability to watch DVR recordings from any room in the house and
        simultaneously record up to four shows while watching another
    --  An expanding selection of tailored-for-TV apps, including social
        networking, traffic, weather, voicemail, Pandora, horoscopes, stocks and
        a sports app to track multiple games at once and check the latest
        scores, standings and schedules while watching a favorite show
    --  An enhanced remote control that offers greater responsiveness and does
        not require a line-of-sight connection to the set-top-box
In addition, the X1 Remote App lets customers use motions, gestures and voice commands to control their TVs with their Apple handheld devices.  For example, customers can swipe their iPhones to page through the interactive TV guide and program personalized short-cuts and favorites ("Quick Links"); shake their device to pause Xfinity On Demand content; and use voice commands to navigate the guide and search for content.

X1 will initially be available to new Xfinity Triple Play customers and will become available to additional customer segments in the future.  The X1 Platform is currently available in more than half of Comcast's footprint nationwide, including the Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. areas.  Comcast plans to launch the service in all remaining markets by the end of the year.

About Comcast Corporation:
Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA, CMCSK) is a global media and technology company with two primary businesses, Comcast Cable and NBCUniversal.  Comcast Cable is the nation's largest video, high-speed Internet and phone provider to residential customers under the XFINITY brand and also provides these services to businesses.  NBCUniversal operates 30 news, entertainment and sports cable networks, the NBC and Telemundo broadcast networks, television production operations, television station groups, Universal Pictures and Universal Parks and Resorts.  Visit http://www.comcastcorporation.com for more information.

Skyera and SK hynix Team to Bring 16nm NAND Flash to the Enterprise with skyEagle

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Skyera Inc., founded by an executive and engineering team with unsurpassed backgrounds in the solid-state, storage and networking arenas, today announced it has selected 16nm NAND Flash from SK hynix, one of the world's leading manufacturers of Flash memory chips, for its new skyEagle(TM) all-Flash enterprise storage array.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120619/LA26849LOGO)

As one of the leaders in the industry to achieve mass production of its 16nm technology node NAND Flash, SK hynix's technology leadership is again validated by enterprise deployments in Skyera's skyEagle. SK hynix innovations in NAND process and design are key factors to enabling high performance and reliable 16nm Flash comparable to 20nm offerings.

"We believe that building a strategic partnership with Skyera will open a new window to bring broad and deep expertise in Flash technology system-level issues to complement the world-class semiconductor excellence of SK hynix," said Young Joon Choi, Senior Vice President of SK hynix. "This pairing ensures that the industry's very best Flash technology experts will be guiding this collaboration as the two companies continue to produce Flash chips and systems that raise the bar for the rest of the market."

"This is an exciting partnership that combines the expertise of one of the leaders in NAND Flash and the leader in all-Flash enterprise storage systems to ensure that the technology is optimized for new generations of enterprise applications," said Radoslav Danilak, CEO of Skyera. "The information exchange between Skyera's team of elite Flash storage system designers and the chip design expertise and cutting-edge manufacturing process optimization of SK hynix offers staggering potential for the future of enterprise Flash storage."

Skyera is the only enterprise array vendor with advanced Flash management technology that can take advantage of the cost and capacity benefits of the most advanced NAND Flash media, yet still deliver IOPS performance and durability that exceed enterprise standards. Skyera's third-generation adaptive Flash controller, as implemented in the company's new skyEagle solid-state array, provides a 5-year Flash life cycle at a price point now even lower than HDD-based enterprise storage arrays.  To achieve comparable performance and durability with conventional Flash controllers requires other array vendors to use older generation, more expensive eMLC or SLC Flash and sacrifice the density and capacity of the newest 16nm Flash chips.

PSG Launches New Medication Reminder Service

MARKHAM, ON, Aug. 14, 2013 /CNW/ - Pharma Security Group Inc. (PSG) is
pleased to announce the launch of a new medication reminder service,
myPharmaCall(TM). The myPharmaCall(TM) service is the newest addition to
PSG's growing family of compliance products and support services, which
includes the PharmaClock(TM), a pill container with a built-in reminder
system and currently available at I.D.A., Guardian and Medicine Shoppe
pharmacies across Canada.

The myPharmaCall(TM) is a telephony based system with a user-friendly
interface that allows users to set up daily phone call reminders for
their medication. The phone calls are fully automated, similar to a
hotel wake up call, except these calls are made to the users own phone
number and at the times specified by the user or their family members.
As medication noncompliance is one of the major problems faced by the
medical community, it is estimated that failure to take medication
within North America costs the healthcare system over $280 Billion per
year. Pharma Security Group's President, Aaron Simms, stated "It is
believed that the vast majority of noncompliant patients do not
purposely avoid taking their medication, but simply forget. The
myPharmaCall(TM) service will help users adhere to their regimes and will
remove this burden from their family members and healthcare providers."

Please visit http://www.mypharmacall.com to view a short video about the myPharmaCall(TM) service and to get
started with a free trial.

PSG's mission is to provide patients with innovative, affordable, and
reliable medication management products to help improve their quality
of life. This mission is being accomplished through the distribution of
medication compliance products, which deal directly with patients'
daily medication needs, and through the distribution of medication
management products, which deal with the storage of medication inside
the home.

PSG is a proud supporter of Lupus Ontario and the Canadian Cancer Society. Through these partnerships, PSG dedicates time, resources and
products, as well as raises awareness for both of these charities
across Canada.

Wacom's Electronic Signature Pads and Pen Displays Now Available at Computime

Broad product offering from the leader in pen input devices opens up new sales and distribution opportunities for Computime

VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Wacom(®) announced today that it has entered into a business relationship with distributor Computime to sell its electronic signature and presentation solutions here in North America.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130204/SF52627LOGO)

Wacom's commitment to pen-based input devices is backed by over 30 years designing, manufacturing and distributing its products to millions of satisfied customers around the globe.  The company's signature pad and interactive display products are used by a variety of industries including banking, insurance, healthcare, hospitality, education and others.  Recently, Wacom's European business solutions group became the leading provider of electronic signature pads in Europe, a testament to Wacom's product design and quality engineering as well as a harbinger for growth with Computime and its customers on this side of the Atlantic.

"This partnership is a strong strategic fit, leveraging both Wacom and Computime's respective strengths," said Tom Scott, General Manager, Computime. "It will enhance Computime's position as the trusted source for eSignature capture solutions while significantly expanding Wacom's products in key, North American markets."

A major resource for system integrators already, Computime's addition of Wacom's electronic signature pads to its product portfolio enables the company to seek out new opportunities with a proven leader.  Wacom's electronic signature family, the STU-300, STU-500, STU-520 and DTU-1031, offer unique differentiation that sets them apart from other manufacturers. Wacom 's electro-magnetic resonance pen technology is virtually maintenance free with no batteries or wires needed. The pen tether, to secure the pen to the pad, does not carry a signal, so no functionality is lost if the tether becomes damaged. Because the input technology is built underneath the hardened glass, resistance to scratches and overall durability become key selling points.  In addition, Wacom pens are pressure-sensitive, providing valuable forensic data for industries concerned with fraud.  A three (3) year warranty is standard for all signature products.

For turnkey electronic signature solutions, Wacom recommends products from SOFTPRO, a world leading electronic signature software provider, which can be bundled with Wacom signature pads, both available from Computime. Wacom and SOFTPRO have experienced tremendous success in Europe building solutions for different types of industries including banks and retail stores.                                                                   

Computime also offers Wacom's line of interactive pen displays for all applications where ease-of-use is key.  From viewing and signing full page patient consent forms in a hospital, to marking-up and annotating presentations in a lecture hall, using Wacom's pen to sign, write, or draw directly on the screen is an easy and engaging experience. Wacom provides a full line of pen displays from 10.1" to 22.5", models DTU-1031, DTU-1631, DTU-2231, and DTK-2241. Additionally, for greater hands-on versatility, the DTH-2242 combines Wacom's renowned pen experience with industry leading multi-finger touch input. All Wacom intreractive displays, available from Computime provide best-in-class pen performance and integrate with virtually all digital inking applications.

"Wacom is pleased to be teaming with Computime to help ensure that paperless transactions become mainstream as companies seek new ways to save time and money as well as become better corporate citizens and environmentally aware," said Michael Marcum, vice president of Wacom's vertical market group for the Americas. "We are confident in Computime's ability to serve customer needs through their vast network of system integrators and resellers."

About Wacom
Founded in 1983, Wacom's vision to bring people and technology closer together through natural computer interface technologies has made it the world's leading manufacturer of pen tablets, interactive pen displays and other digital input solutions.  For vertical market applications such as electronic signature capture, medical recordkeeping and presentation, Wacom's intuitive input devices improve cost and workflow efficiencies while providing both businesses and their customers a natural and engaging experience.  Consult http://www.wacom.com for more information.

Trimble Introduces Micro-LTE UHF RFID Module

Expanded Product Line Includes RFID Module Optimized For Small Tag Populations and Supports Growing Demand for Embedded RFID

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) today announced the addition of the Micro-LTE to its ThingMagic(®) Mercury(®)6e Series of embedded UHF RFID modules. The Micro-LTE joins the ThingMagic Micro to create a family of the smallest, 2-port, high-performance RFID modules on the market. The Micro is designed for applications with medium to large tag populations, while the new Micro-LTE is optimized for small tag populations.

"Embedded RFID reader modules are providing vendors, solution developers and end users with the inside track to RFID-enabling a host of applications and devices," said Michael Liard, vice president of AutoID at VDC Research, Inc. "Supported by new, innovative vendor product introductions, a set of unique value propositions and higher levels of awareness and interest among the end-user community, we expect the market opportunity for embedded RFID to ramp quickly. The number of potential use cases is increasing sharply across a number of industries and product categories."

In an extremely small form factor, the Micro-LTE implements market leading high-performance features including high data acquisition rates with every tag read and rapid adaptation to changing tag populations. Coupling these capabilities with read performance optimized for small tag populations makes the Micro-LTE ideal for use cases that require reading small numbers of tags rapidly and accurately, such as access control, consumables authentication, process control, and race timing. The low power consumption of the Micro-LTE fits battery operated applications and wide RF output range (-5 dBm to +30 dBm) are key requirements for RFID enabled printers, tag commissioning stations, and point of sales readers.

The RF transmit levels and receive sensitivity of the Micro and Micro-LTE deliver competitive advantages including the ability to read RFID tags at over twice the distance of alternative solutions, the ability to read smaller tags without forfeiting read distance, and the option for OEMs to incorporate smaller antennas into their products without sacrificing tag read performance. In addition, adjustable duty cycle settings of the Micro and Micro-LTE provide product specific advantages such as extended battery life of handheld readers and other mobile devices.

Like the ThingMagic Micro, the Micro-LTE is designed for high-volume production environments and supports both traditional board-to-board mounting and solder down surface mounting, reducing component and assembly costs for equipment manufacturers.

Additional features of the Micro-LTE include:

    --  Small size: 46 mm L x 26 mm W x 4.0 mm H (1.6 in L x 1.0 in W x 0.16 in
        H)
    --  EPCglobal Gen2 (ISO 18000-6C) protocol support and (IP-X and ISO
        18000-6B optional)
    --  Support for two monostatic RF antennas
    --  UART and USB 2.0 control/data interfaces
    --  Two 3.3V bidirectional ports configurable as input (sensor) ports or
        output (indicator) ports
    --  North America, EU and PRC region support with a single SKU
Trimble's family of ThingMagic embedded UHF RFID modules have been adopted across markets and implemented in a number of new and innovative products and solutions:

Simplified Printing and Encoding

Zebra Technologies recently announced the ZD500R UHF desktop printer that takes advantage of the small form factor and optimized read rate of the ThingMagic Micro-LTE RFID module. The ZD500R is ideal for space constrained retail and healthcare environments that require accurate, on-demand printing and encoding. The ZD500R is Zebra's smallest and lowest cost UHF RFID printer to date.

"Increasingly, we've seen RFID applications expand beyond warehousing and manufacturing into retail and healthcare environments that demand smaller, lighter and more efficient devices," said Michael Fein, senior product manager at Zebra Technologies. "ThingMagic RFID modules and advanced firmware features help us deliver small, low cost, and feature complete products that are easy for users to operate and system integrators to deploy."

Powerful Handheld Devices

ThingMagic RFID modules are a popular choice for handheld device manufacturers. For example, VerdaSee Solutions introduced a new mobile device for first responder and military applications. By utilizing all four antenna ports of the ThingMagic M6e RFID module, this portable and ruggedized handheld provides users with an extended read distance required by mission-critical applications. Leveraging the small form factor and high-performance features of the ThingMagic Micro, ACURA Global offers the Smart AB-700 handheld reader for use in several commercial and industrial markets.

"By building upon the exceptional characteristics of the ThingMagic M6e RFID module in combination with our unique hardware and software capabilities, we were able to create a Gen2 reader that delivers superior speed, efficiency and range with regard to tag acquisition while eliminating the issue of non-targeted reads caused by backplane RF signals," said Reuben Vasquez, chairman and CEO of VerdaSee Solutions. "We found Trimble's ThingMagic team to be exceptionally cooperative during the design phase, and its high-quality, cost-effective module allowed us to produce a backward and forward compatible solution that filled a huge void in the marketplace."

Innovation Across Industry

Other partners are embedding ThingMagic RFID into products and solutions used in a variety of markets. For example, the AdvanPanel from Keonn Technologies integrates the ThingMagic Micro to read RFID-enabled Kanban cards in just-in-time inventory systems. Venture Research integrates ThingMagic modules into smart shelves, waste management solutions, fork lift readers, industrial portals and several other RFID-enabled systems. With similarly diverse customer bases, partners Beijing Silion in Asia and ACURA Global in South America use ThingMagic embedded RFID modules to develop retail, supply chain, logistics, transportation, and healthcare solutions.

"Predictable performance, small form factor, and cost effectiveness are important when selecting embedded RFID components for our solutions," said Sun Hai, founder and CEO Beijing Silion Technology Co., Ltd.  "We choose to work with ThingMagic RFID modules because of their superiority in these areas and because of the continued advancements ThingMagic firmware provides beyond standard RFID offerings."

Acromag's New PMC Module Carrier Card Features PCI Express Bus Interface for PC-based Embedded Systems

Acromag's new APCe8670 is a PCIe bus adapter board that allows a PC to control and communicate with the hosted PMC module for use in high-performance computing or laboratory prototype systems

WIXOM, Mich., Aug. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Acromag's APCe8670 carrier card provides an easy and efficient solution to interface a PMC mezzanine module to a PC across the PCI Express (PCIe) bus. Engineers can plug Acromag's FPGA modules or other PMC modules onto the carrier card to perform a variety of signal processing functions. A bridge chip handles the PCI-X to PCIe conversion between the plug-in PMC module and the host computer. The carrier's PCIe x4 interface supports up to four serial lanes for rapid data transfer. These carriers are ideal for high-performance industrial and scientific research computing systems. They are also useful to test advanced systems for defense and aerospace applications that will be deployed later on rugged embedded computer platforms such as VME, VPX, or CompactPCI. Pricing starts at $750.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130813/DE63558 )

"System designers can now tap into the wide range of available PMC FPGA and I/O modules when developing advanced computing systems on a PC platform with a PCI Express bus," explained Joseph Primeau, Acromag's sales and marketing director.

Three PMC PCI-X bus sockets interface through a bridge to the carrier's PCIe x4 edge connector. The other PMC socket routes 32 LVDS I/O to a rear SCSI port for board-to-board communication.

An integrated fan provides a constant airflow across the PMC module since most PCs cannot provide sufficient cooling to dissipate heat generated by large FPGA devices. The carrier card is also ready for conduction cooling with a thermal frame.

Acromag offers many compatible PMC FPGA modules with configurable logic elements for algorithm acceleration, DSP, communication, and adaptive computing functions. A JTAG connector supports Xilinx programmer for use with hosted FPGA modules. Typical applications include image processing, simulation, protocol conversion, signal intelligence, and in-circuit diagnostics.

Sleekly Designed Product Quickly Charges iOS, Android and Windows Phones as Well as Tablets, the Leading Gaming Devices and MP3 Players

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Jackery, a provider of premium rechargeable battery products for mobile devices, announced today the launch of the Jackery Air, the company's latest innovative product which is the world's thinnest rechargeable battery. Jackery utilized a custom manufacturing process for the product in order to create a powerful battery with a sleek aluminum case and industry-leading dimensions.

Similar in size to the iPhone 5, the Jackery Air provides users with up to five days of extra operational time, giving them the flexibility to travel and use their device in areas without access to electricity. The device also features an innovative power lock technology which allows it to hold charging capabilities for up to six months when not in use. A three-color LED status indicator clearly shows how much charging power is left in the battery.

"The Jackery Air is an engineering and design marvel, and the culmination of months of hard work and dedication from our amazing development team," said Julie Wang, Chief Operating Officer of Jackery. "We set out to build the world's thinnest high-capacity charger and accomplished our goal with the Jackery Air. It's an ideal blend of a slim profile and seamless aesthetics with industry-leading performance that gives users more than 100 hours of extra time. The look of the product really sets it apart as it serves as a well-designed complement to the user's smartphone instead of a clunky accessory."

The Jackery Air is available for $79.95 on Amazon.com at http://www.amazon.com/Jackery-External-Portable-Aluminum-Enclosure/dp/B00AJG3NK4/ along with various accessories including car chargers and additional USB cables.
