WEST CHESTER, Ohio, May 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ESCORT Inc. (ESCORTinc.com), designer of the world's best radar detector, today announced the release of its new windshield mount detector accessory fittingly named "StickyCup." The new StickyCup is a full-featured bracket mount that includes a semi-sticky gel ring on the cup surface that improves cohesion and detector support on the windshield.

StickyCup works with ESCORT's category leading products including the award-winning PASSORT 9500ix(TM) radar detector, ESCORT REDLiNE, PASSPORT 8500 series and select BELTRONICS models. 

StickyCup is officially available direct from the ESCORT store beginning today.

The StickyCup windshield mount gel ring helps the StickyCup provide dramatically improved performance by filling in unseen but otherwise potentially destructive imperfections on the windshield mounting surface. With the gaps eliminated, StickyCup provides significantly greater surface adhesion and attachment force to the windshield. The result is improved holding capacity over a wider temperature ranges.

"As the leading innovator of the most advanced radar and laser defense on the market, we are always developing new designs to better serve our customers," said Dave Smidebush, ESCORT Vice-president of Marketing. "Our new StickyCup provides drivers who use our ESCORT and BELTRONICS category leading windshield mount radar detectors, the greatest level of attachment and 'stickiness' available." 

StickyCup is easy to use and fits all grades and slopes of automotive windshield glass. The new mount includes a rotating knob that adjusts the angle of the StickyCup bracket to perfectly match the pitch of the driver's windshield. Once set, the mount permanently mirrors with the windshield slope and is always ready to use. 

Backwards compatible, ESCORT and BELTRONICS radar detectors are designed with a custom slot that accepts the StickyCup bracket support arm for mounting. Once at their destination, the driver removes the radar detector via the quick release button. The StickyCup can then be easily removed from the windshield.

The new StickyCup retails for $24.95 and is now available direct from ESCORT.

RadioShack Products To Hit College Store Shelves

Retailer Will Team With NACSCORP to Stock and Sell Assortment of Merchandise

FORT WORTH, Texas and OBERLIN, Ohio, May 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- RadioShack today announced it has entered into a five-year agreement with NACSCORP, a subsidiary of the National Association of College Stores, to offer an assortment of popular consumer electronics and accessories to the nearly 4,000 college store customers NACSCORP currently serves.

This expanded retail concept will offer the specific products college students need and want to keep their technology - and their lives - powered up, protected and connected. Students will be able to shop a tailored mix of brand name electronics, such as headphones and accessories from Beats by Dr. Dre, Skullcandy and SOL Republic, as well as a selection of exclusive private brand products, including Enercell portable power and AUVIO headphones and Bluetooth speakers.

RadioShack-branded sections will begin appearing in college stores just in time for the back-to-campus rush in the fall of 2013. The University Co-op at the University of Texas at Austin, which is one of the nation's largest college stores and has a history of innovating within the category, will be among the first locations to feature the new RadioShack product areas. 

"This agreement with NACSCORP lets our brand fill a specific need for college stores and for college students," said Joe Magnacca, RadioShack's chief executive officer. "This represents a unique opportunity for RadioShack to enter a non-traditional marketplace, and agreements like this are key to introducing new consumers to the role that RadioShack can play in their lives."

By leveraging its highly recognized national brand and providing the functional and fashionable electronics that will appeal to connected college students, RadioShack hopes its presence on campus will help drive traffic into college stores.

"College students are such avid consumers of technology that putting some of RadioShack's best-selling consumer electronics on shelves in their college stores is a great way to get the collegiate crowd interested in our brand," said Marty Amschler, vice president of franchise for RadioShack. "Once they understand that RadioShack is just around the corner and carries the great brands they know and trust - as well as the cool products they didn't even know they needed - we will have tapped into a whole new fan base."

"Bringing RadioShack's brand, top consumer electronic brands and category management expertise into the college store market provides our customers with a great opportunity to meet the needs of the ever-evolving college student," said Kurt Schoen, president and chief operating officer for NACSCORP.

Added Sean O'Donnell, NACSCORP's vice president of sales and marketing: "We are always looking for that combination of the right products and the right brands to help college stores be a critical resource for students, and this agreement with RadioShack will provide an ideal mix to help meet the needs of the 'always-on' college student."

Moverio can power an endless array of applications, such as 3D augmented reality, real-time text transcription and night vision, in any number of industries.

"The Northstar user interface from APX Labs demonstrates the exciting innovation that is possible with the Moverio BT-100 smart glasses," said Eric Mizufuka, product manager, New Products, Epson America.  "Just one of the groundbreaking apps created for our platform, we hope it inspires developers attending Google I/O to create their own vision of the future with Moverio."

"Epson has been a tremendous partner in our development of hands-free smart glasses solutions, providing us with a high-quality product with superb optics in addition to being completely accessible," said Jay Kim, director, research and development, APX Labs.  "They empowered us to work on this fun sample application of our novel user interface."

HAMBURG, Germany, May 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Ibeo Automotive and TASS International announced today that they have signed a
cooperation agreement in the field of automated scenario generation based on laser scanner
technology. The combination of Ibeo's laser scanner technology and TASS' PreScan
simulation technology results in a revolutionary innovation in which simulated driving
scenarios are automatically generated from real-life measurement data.

    TASS International has developed PreScan, a widely adopted simulation platform for the
development of assisted (ADAS), connected (V2x) and autonomous vehicle systems. PreScan
provides detailed simulation of vehicle sensors in complex traffic scenarios. For more

Launch Success for EUTELSAT 3D by ILS Proton

BAIKONOUR, Kazakhstan and PARIS, May 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    The EUTELSAT 3D satellite of Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) has been
successfully launched by a Proton Breeze M rocket supplied by ILS and is now on its way to
its operating location at 3degree(s) East.

    Lift-off of the satellite, built by Thales Alenia Space, took place on 14 May at 16.02
GMT (18.02 CET). Following a 9-hour 13-minute flight, Proton released EUTELSAT 3D into
geosynchronous transfer orbit. The partial deployment of the satellite's solar panels was
successfully carried out from Eutelsat's control centre in Rambouillet three hours and 15
minutes after separation from the rocket.

    Eutelsat also announces that it has signed a new launch contract with ILS for a
satellite to be launched in the 2014-2016 timeframe. This will be the eighth satellite to
be launched for Eutelsat by the Proton launcher.

    Michel de Rosen, Eutelsat CEO, said: "We are delighted to confirm that EUTELSAT 3D is
on its way to 3degree(s) East. From next month, this new satellite will take service at
3degree(s)East to a new level in advance of the launch in 2014 of EUTELSAT 3B. Our thanks
to Thales Alenia Space for delivering our new satellite and to ILS and Khrunichev for this
flight which maintains our track record of 100% success since our first Proton launch in
2000. We are pleased to renew our confidence in the powerful Proton launcher with a new
contract that gives us the scope to increaseouroperational agility, a key asset in our
business."

    ILS President Phil Slack added: "The Proton vehicle and Eutelsat partnership dates
back 13 years starting with the SESAT 1 launch on Proton in 2000. After seven launches,
including the 50th ILS Proton launch in 2009 with the EUTELSAT 10A satellite, we are
honoured that Eutelsat continues to place their trust in us to enable the expansion of
their business. Many thanks to the Eutelsat, Thales Alenia Space, Khrunichev and ILS teams
for ensuring mission success with the launch of EUTELSAT 3D."

    With a baseline design equipping it to strengthen Eutelsat's overall in-orbit
flexibility and back-up from multiple orbital slots, EUTELSAT 3D will be initially located
at 3degree(s) East to address high-growth video, data, telecom and broadband markets. It
will serve customers in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia through a
configuration of Ku and Ka transponders connected to three footprints. A fourth service
area in the Ku-band will serve markets in sub-Saharan Africa. EUTELSAT 3D will operate at
3degree(s) East until the deployment of the EUTELSAT 3B satellite to this position in 2014
to provide spectrum growth and high levels of operational flexibility in C, Ku and Ka
bands. It will subsequently continue service at 7degree(s) East.

    EUTELSAT 3D was built for Eutelsat by Thales Alenia Space using its established
Spacebus 4000 platform. The satellite is designed to operate in orbit for 15 years.

    About Eutelsat Communications

Medio Encourages App Developers to "Fire Their Ad Networks" with the Launch of K-Invite

New Mobile Acquisition Solution Unlocks the Virality of Mobile Applications

SEATTLE, May 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Medio, the leader in optimizing the acquisition, retention and monetization of mobile users, today announced the launch of K-Invite(TM). Named after the viral coefficient "K,"K-Invite, http://www.k-invite.com, empowers mobile app developers and marketers to create and track the virality of their mobile applications, spurring customer growth across mobile platforms. The net result is higher quality installs at a fraction of the cost charged by traditional ad networks. K-Invite is the first platform of its kind to address the unique challenges of driving and tracking virality on mobile.

To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/medio-encourages-app-developers-to-fire-their-ad-networks-with-the-launch-of-k-invite-207304371.html

K-Invite facilitates one-to-one social sharing between friends via SMS, email, Facebook and Twitter, and allows application owners to reward users for successfully referring their friends.

"The economics of acquiring users from traditional ad networks is no longer sustainable," said Rob Lilleness, chief executive officer at Medio. "With K-Invite, we're taking full advantage of the lessons we've learned on social platforms to create a viral growth mechanism for our customers. By leveraging your network of existing users to acquire new customers, K-Invite helps solve some of the biggest issues developers face today: dwindling ad network inventory, cost-prohibitive pricing and lack of scale."

"Attracting high-quality, loyal users is a major driver towards success for any mobile app," said Patrick McGrath, senior product manager at PopCap Games. "K-Invite's unique approach to user acquisition allows game developers to focus on creating compelling viral hooks in games, giving the industry more options than the traditional ad network route."

To celebrate the public launch of K-Invite, Medio is offering 2,500 free end-user app referrals or downloads each month to the first 50 app developers who integrate the K-Invite SDK.

"Virality is quickly becoming a must-have channel in the marketing mix for mobile app developers and marketers," Lilleness continued. "However, the ability to create and track the virality of mobile apps has been nonexistent until now. With the social nature of apps, we believe K-Invite will quickly become the preferred solution to win new users on mobile."

For more information about K-Invite and how it can be leveraged to drive viral adoption of mobile applications, visit http://www.k-invite.com. In addition, a video illustrating K-Invite's benefits for app developers and marketers can be viewed at http://vimeo.com/medio/k-invite.

Ricoh introduces versatile, affordable, compact RICOH Pro C5100S and C5110S production printing systems

New digital production imaging systems expand printable color gamut, easily handled textured stock, and integrate media library for fine-tuned performance

MALVERN, Pa., May 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh Americas Corporation today introduced two new full-color digital imaging systems for in-plant print centers and print service providers who demand productivity, versatility and outstanding quality at an affordable price. The RICOH Pro C5100S and RICOH Pro C5110S production imaging systems print and copy up to 65 ppm and 80 ppm respectively, producing professional-looking output that can be collated and finished in line.

Ideal for helping businesses launch their first production printing programs, the devices blend application flexibility, high productivity and cost-effectiveness in a compact footprint. In addition, both models feature a new toner formulation that increases the printable color gamut by 10 percent compared to Ricoh's other color production printers and has a lower fusing temperature, which means faster warm-up times and lower energy consumption.

The RICOH Pro C5100S and RICOH Pro C5110S are also the first to feature a new, enhanced toner transfer technology and elastic fusing-belt technology to deliver higher-quality imaging on heavily textured media. The imaging systems enable customers to save more than 60 attributes to a single Media Library selection to minimize guesswork and enhance productivity.

"Ricoh has integrated proven imaging and paper-handling technologies from the RICOH Pro C651EX/C751EX Series and the recently launched RICOH Pro C901 GA+ to result in an affordable solution that can handle a wide range of printing applications from linen stocks to envelopes," said Tim Vellek, Vice President, Production Printing Business Group, Ricoh Americas Corporation. "Using advanced configured finishing options, customers can produce finished documents ready for distribution without any manual intervention."

With complete color scanning capability, the systems also serve a key role in business information solutions as hubs for input, processing and output to help companies meet their most important organizational goals. Customers with any Ricoh production printing solution have access to Ricoh's Business Booster Program, which is designed to help customers market their services and drive print volume. They can also take advantage of Ricoh TotalFlow(®) software solutions, designed to help owners seize the full potential of Ricoh's advanced technology for customer satisfaction and profit.

Control, finishing and powerful interface
To simplify print management in Windows or Mac environments, the RICOH Pro C5100S and RICOH Pro C5110S offer two controller options, including the value-based Fiery(®) E-22B, or the server-based Fiery E-42B for advanced control typically reserved for high-end devices. Both controllers are running the very latest EFI(TM) FS-100 platform for unparalleled color control and seamless workflow integration.

The RICOH Pro C5100S and RICOH Pro C5110S incorporate a wide range of professional-grade finishing options for stapling, hole punching, saddle stitching, full bleed booklet finishing and more. For example, customers can insert pre-printed front and back covers and choose from a wide variety of folding options.

To maximize uptime, the RICOH Pro C5100S and RICOH Pro C5110S make it easy for trained users to quickly replace up to a dozen key imaging units, as well as consumables, without technical assistance, thanks to Trained Customer Replaceable Units (TCRUs). TCRUs empower customers to manage their own service schedules and address key component replacements as they need, and reduce reliance on service calls.

AVT Recommended in Seeking Alpha Story

"The Majors are Lining Up for Automated Retailing"

CORONA, Calif., May 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- AVT, Inc. (OTC Markets: AVTC) (http://www.autoretail.com), a technology leader in developing automated retailing systems, customized kiosks and micro-stores, announced that they have been recommended in a story on the automated retailing industry in Seeking Alpha.

The article discussed the new Rug Doctor Automated Centers in Walmart stores, which allow customers to rent, checkout and return a carpet-cleaning unit, and not have to wait for or flag down a store employee for assistance.

"Today, you can walk right up to the automated system that are inside many Walmart stores, insert your credit card, and within seconds, a door magically opens and the system is available for you to take. No lines, no fuss, no waiting," the story stated.

AVT is the developer and manufacturer of these innovative Rug Doctor Rental Centers.

"AVT is one of the leaders in designing and manufacturing automated retailing systems of all kinds. This is the company that not only figured out how to automate the carpet-cleaning rental process, but has also given the world incredible new systems that include automated prescription medicine dispensing, Mountain Dew plastic bottle recycling centers, the Kardashian sisters' cosmetics store, the now world-famous Beverly Hills cupcake and caviar systems, and the Blue Rhino automated propane tank exchange centers, just to name a few," the article stated.

According to Seeking Alpha, the two leaders in the automated retailing industry are Coinstar (CSTR) and AVT, but contend that Coinstar - who owns the Redbox systems and is selling at around $55 a share has most of it's growth behind it, while AVT at a few bucks a share "could be the next Coinstar."

Seeking Alpha also stated that AVT's patented technology could be a "game changer" in the industry, as "it covers a basic technology that most of the industry already uses or needs to use," and compared AVT's recent growth to "Winning the Super Bowl and the World Series combined."

Next Generation Philips Hue App is full of bright ideas with geofencing, a new channel on IFTTT, recurring schedules and more

The world's smartest LED bulb expands possibilities in connected LED lighting thanks to developer and customer feedback

SOMERSET, N.J., May 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Philips today launched the next generation application for the Hue lighting system, allowing consumers to control their light bulbs using a smartphone or tablet with even more flexibility, depth and breadth than before. The new Philips Hue channel on IFTTT (If This Then That) enables the Hue system access to any application programming interface (API) on the Internet, allowing Hue smart bulbs to act as informational gateways and visual cues for updates on weather, stock quotes, sports scores, email, social media and more.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130514/NE13135-INFO )

Other features in V1.1 of the system include geofencing and "recurring schedules" - both of which were added to the feature set in response to user feedback collected since Hue launched last fall. Geofencing approximates the managing device's location and controls lights as a user's smartphone or tablet approaches or leaves the home. In this way, lights can automatically turn on or change settings as a Hue user arrives home or the bulbs can shut down as a homeowner walks out the front door - all without the user even having to take their smartphone out of their pocket.

With the recurring schedules addition, Hue enthusiasts can now calendarize popular timer settings so that repetitive, daily behaviors in the home, like waking up and going to sleep, are supported and enhanced by Hue without having to reset them each day. The timer function can now also be set to "randomize" lights so that they turn on and off organically at unexpected times when an owner is away from home for extended periods, adding another level of security.

A new "synchronous scenes" feature works in the background to assure that large batches of Hue bulbs change scenes in a smooth, immediate manner. Pre-set scenes are now stored in the bulbs themselves, eliminating a "wave" or domino effect that can currently occur as the bulbs relay a command among multiple bulbs throughout a home.

"People have really taken to Hue with the idea of connected lighting being a stepping stone to the connected home and in the last six months alone it has exceeded sales expectations by 300 percent," said Ed Crawford, general manager and senior vice president of the Professional Channel, Philips Lighting Americas. "We have built a vibrant, vocal community at meethue.com and the feedback of those voices has been invaluable. The guidance given by our most enthusiastic users was a major factor in bringing our latest updates to life and we can't wait to see what they think of next."

On March 11, Philips published Hue's open APIs and released related guides and libraries in an iOS software developers' kit (SDK), reinforcing its commitment to helping the developer community and the end user leverage Hue to its full potential. In fact, since publishing Hue's open APIs, dozens of new apps have already hit the market. Some of these new apps now instruct the bulbs to coordinate with music and album art, adjust according to a person's biorhythms, assist in planetary study, respond to spoken commands, and synchronize with television screens for an ambient, immersive viewing experience.

Combine this recent proliferation of SDK-inspired apps with the new IFTTT (pronounced like "gift" without the "g") partnership and the evolution of Hue apps is expected to continue at a steady pace. Like the current capacity for users to share "Light Recipes" or "scenes" at meethue.com, IFTTT will make new API "Recipes" and apps possible that can prompt a user's bulbs to behave in specific ways based on predetermined "Triggers" and resulting "Actions." For example, a Hue bulb may be set to change color if it is going to rain or start blinking if the user has received an urgent email.

Using the ZigBee LightLink standard, Hue bulbs can not only communicate with each other, they have the potential for communicating with other ZigBee-based devices such as motion sensors and home thermostats, while offering a broad signal range and using significantly less stand-by power than traditional Wi-Fi systems. Software updates for the bulbs like those announced today are done automatically via the bridge and the bulbs themselves, and additional apps developed for the system are available through app stores or meetHue.com, making it easy and intuitive for users to update Hue with applications and functionality that will enhance their lighting experience. 

Current iOS Hue users will be prompted by their hand held device to accept the update or can visit http://www.meethue.com for more information, with updates to Android and Kindle devices coming this month.  Hue starter kits comprising three bulbs and a Smartbridge are available at Apple stores and Amazon. Additional bulbs can also be purchased for $59.
