NICE Actimize Positioned as a "Category Leader"in Chartis RiskTech Quadrant[TM]For Anti-Money Laundering Solutions 2013

NICE Actimize positioned highest in the industry for "Completeness of Offering" among global vendor landscape with its full lifecycle monitoring, from onboarding to transaction and sanctions monitoring capabilities

NEW YORK, May 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    NICE Actimize, a NICE Systems (NASDAQ:NICE) business and the largest and broadest
provider of a single financial crime, risk and compliance software platform for the
financial services industry, announced today that the company was positioned as a Category
Leader in the Chartis RiskTech Quadrant[TM] for Anti-Money Laundering Solutions.
Additionally, its suite of Anti-Money Laundering solutions received the highest position
in terms of "completeness of offering" within the global vendor landscape. Chartis
provides research and analysis on the global market for risk management technology.

    The report, which covers the competitive market landscape of AML vendors and
technologies, uses Chartis's proprietary RiskTech Quadrant(TM) to explain the structure of
the market. The RiskTech Quadrant(TM) uses a comprehensive methodology of in-depth
independent research and a scoring system to explain which technology solutions meet an
organization's needs.

    According to the Chartis report, there is a significant long-term trend towards
increased AML regulations and stricter supervision. Chartis notes that financial
institutions need to be able to cope with more screening, a higher volume of watch-list
names, and stricter regulation.

    "In updating their AML systems, financial institutions are looking to take advantage
of recent innovations, such as more advanced analytics and real-time technologies," said
Peyman Mestchian, Managing Partner at Chartis Research. "NICE Actimize's ongoing
investment in product and service innovation has positioned it a leader in AML solutions."

    "The anti-money laundering regulatory environment has evolved dramatically in the past
few years. We are seeing unprecedented requirements and penalties worldwide," said Amir
Orad, president and CEO of NICE Actimize. "NICE Actimize remains committed to ongoing
investments that will enable firms to address the increasingly challenging regulatory
landscape. We are honored that our commitment, global leadership and deep expertise has
once again been recognized by Chartis."

    Chartis defines 'Category Leaders' as those risk technology vendors that "have the
necessary depth and breadth of functionality, technology, and content, combined with the
organizational characteristics to capture significant market share by volume and value."
Additionally, the report states, Category Leaders can address the needs of very large
clients with complex risk management and technology requirements, as well as addressing
the needs of smaller clients with standardized requirements looking for integrated
solutions from a single vendor.

    In establishing the criteria for the "completeness of offering" designation, Chartis
considered five critical attributes including depth of functionality, which included level
of sophistication, detailed features and user-friendliness; breadth of functionality; data
management and technology.

    The Actimize Anti-Money Laundering solutions suite offers end-to-end coverage of
anti-money laundering regulations, and includes full lifecycle monitoring from onboarding
to transaction and sanctions monitoring capabilities. The suite combines focused models,
rules and profiles with advanced analytics to help financial institutions comply with
anti-money laundering regulations from agencies around the world, and covering such
additional functions as identification of suspicious activities and high-risk customers.
The Actimize FATCA Compliance solution enables complete lifecycle assessment to identify,
manage, and report on the FATCA status of customers, business entities, and owners. The
company's proven expertise and packaged offerings are dedicated to banking, securities,
insurance and regulatory bodies.

Salesforce.com Launches Salesforce Communities--Ending the Era of Legacy Portal Software

New Salesforce Communities will enable customer companies to create social communities with business data and processes embedded at the core, eliminating the trade off between legacy portals and social point solutions

With the industry's first social and mobile community solution, customer companies will be able to transform how they sell, service and market

Leading customer companies such as Food and Drug Administration, GE, Pernod Ricard and the World Economic Forum have deployed Salesforce Communities to connect with their customers, partners and products in entirely new ways

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Salesforce.com [NYSE: CRM], the enterprise cloud computing company, today launched Salesforce Communities, ending the era of legacy portal software. With new Salesforce Communities, customer companies will be able to create social communities with business data and processes embedded at the core to transform how they sell, service and market. Communities can also be created for any customer experience--in a mobile banking app, in a video game or even in a car. Leading customer companies, including Food and Drug Administration, GE, Pernod Ricard and the World Economic Forum have deployed Salesforce Communities to connect with customers, partners and products in entirely new ways.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20050216/SFW105LOGO)

Comments on the News

    --  "Today marks the end of the legacy portal software era," said Alex
        Dayon, president of applications and platform, salesforce.com. "The next
        generation of enterprise apps are social with business data embedded at
        the core and accessible from any device. With Salesforce Communities,
        customer companies can connect with customers, partners and employees in
        entirely new ways and from anywhere."
    --  "Pernod Ricard is now democratizing knowledge inside and outside of our
        institution with social technology," said Alexandre Ricard, deputy CEO
        and COO, Pernod Ricard. "Managers are empowered with the information
        needed to act quickly, shape our strategy and identify future
        opportunities. Salesforce Communities will empower our managers to
        partner with our distributors, ensuring that our brand image is
        preserved."
    --  "Connecting communities through interactions, insights and impact is at
        the core of our organisation," said Jeremy Jurgens, chief information
        and interaction officer, World Economic Forum. "Salesforce Communities
        allows us to address each of these elements by extending our social
        community to the business, political, academic and other leaders of
        society that shape global, regional and industry agendas."

    --  "Over time, communities will evolve with processes associated to the
        community becoming embedded in core business workflow processes," said
        Vanessa Thompson, research manager of enterprise collaboration and
        social solutions, IDC. "Salesforce Communities is able to build on the
        strong base of Sales Cloud, Service Cloud and Marketing Cloud to extend
        specific workflow and enable an ongoing conversation with customers,
        partners and suppliers."
New Salesforce Communities: The End of Legacy Portals
Today, more than ever, companies need to connect with their customers and partners in new ways. The popularity of crowd sourcing in social communities such as Yelp, the level of engagement on social networks like Facebook, and the increase in connected devices in the consumer world--all combined with the unprecedented growth in global adoption of mobile devices--have created a new generation of customers and partners who have new expectations for how they want to engage with a company.

But companies have not been able to offer this kind of collaborative, engaging experience in their business. Previously, they had to choose between legacy portals, which are strictly transactional, and social point solutions that are conversational, but disconnected from the business. By combining the power of social communities with the business data, processes, and platform of the world's #1 CRM solution, new Salesforce Communities enable companies to quickly create networks that connect customers, partners and even products in entirely new ways.

Salesforce Communities: Transform Sales, Customer Service, Marketing and More
Powered by Salesforce Chatter, the leading enterprise social network, Salesforce Communities will put social and mobile at the core of every community. And because it is built on the Salesforce Platform, Salesforce Communities is extensible and can be embedded into any experience--in a mobile banking app, in a video game or even in a car.

Using Salesforce Communities, customer companies will be able to increase sales efficiency among partners and distributors, deliver unmatched customer service, bring brands and agencies together around in-the-moment ad campaigns, and create a community for anything they can imagine.

    --  Salesforce Communities for Sales: Now companies will be able to create
        customized communities to connect with channel partners, distributors,
        resellers and suppliers in entirely new ways. With complete visibility
        across the entire channel, companies will be able to drive more sales
        and increase revenue through seamless lead sharing and deal
        registration, access to proven sales tools and direct collaboration with
        experts.
    --  Salesforce Communities for Service: Customers will have a single
        destination to get answers quickly--whether from a company's knowledge
        base, members of its community or directly from company experts or
        service reps. And because communities are accessible from any device,
        customers can solve problems and get answers from anywhere.
    --  Salesforce Communities for Marketing: Companies will be able to connect
        with customers and agencies in entirely new ways to better market
        products. Companies can develop communities to collaborate on product
        development with customers to accelerate innovation. They can also
        create communities with agencies to provide access to the company's
        latest creative concepts and brand guidelines-- streamlining creative
        development for faster approvals and ensuring everyone stays on the same
        page.
    --  Salesforce Communities for Any Experience: For the first time, customer
        companies will be able to quickly create and deploy any custom community
        to connect with customers, partners and products. Whether communities
        are built to connect employees to customers for new product ideation,
        connect devices with manufacturers and dealers to streamline feedback
        loops or connect machines to customer purchase patterns to strengthen
        customer loyalty, now any business process can be social and mobile.
Customer Companies Connect with Customers, Partners & Products in New Ways

Leading global brands are realizing new levels of success with Salesforce Communities today by deepening their relationships with their customers, partners and products. For example, the Food and Drug Administration leverages Salesforce Communities to humanize and streamline the federal approval process for drugs and medical devices. And Pernod Ricard can now streamline operational processes to place, promote and price their brands globally across distributors and harness the wisdom of customers to plan campaigns.

Pricing & Availability

    --  Pricing for Salesforce Communities will start at $500 per month.
    --  Salesforce Communities is currently scheduled to be generally available
        by the Summer '13 release.

Tech-Coordinator Of The Year Revolutionized The Way Students Learn Math And Science In His District Using Robots

School district's teachers completed professional development on using robots as teaching-aid tools to teach Math and Science

CEDAR HILL, Texas, May 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Students at Cedar Hill Independent School District delighted as Mr. Kyle Berger introduced the RobotsLAB BOX to Middle and High School Math and Science Classes. Students didn't imagine that a quadcopter could help them understand quadratic equations, and a robotic arm can help them figure out sine and cosine. With a standards-aligned curriculum, the RobotsLAB BOX (http://www.RobotsLAB.com/box) is a revolutionary teaching-aid tool for Math and Science teachers, introducing robotics technology and an easy-to-use tablet with pre-loaded lessons, to demonstrate abstract concepts using robots.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130501/SF05848)

"My students struggle to understand these topics," said April Cordry-Moore, Pre-Calculus teacher at the Cedar Hill high school. "By using these robots, I'm sure students will find the math behind it fun and engaging.  Best of all, I don't need prior experience with robotics in order to bring these advanced technologies into my classroom"

Mr. Kyle Berger who advocated for this revolution, is the district's CTE Director. He was elected as the "Tech Coordinator of the Year" for his constant contribution of bringing innovative and cutting-edge technologies into the classrooms and the local community. Thanks to his passion to drive forward the district, Cedar Hill ISD is one of the first adopters of the product.

RobotsLAB BOX is aligned with the school's STEM program announced last Thursday, April 23 at the informational meeting for parents at the Cedar Hill ISD.

"Our goal is to develop students who use science, technology, engineering and mathematics to solve real world problems and to provide them with exposure to additional career opportunities," said Instructional Coordinator Brian Ward.

RobotsLAB is supporting the school's educators, providing professional-development and introducing robots in unexpected places such as algebra lessons covering abstract concepts.

The company created an affordable solution for middle and high schools; equipping the RobotsLAB-BOX with several robots that demonstrate core concepts in Algebra, Physics, Geometry, Trigonometry and Calculus.

MiiPC, the World's First Family Android PC, Adds a Double Memory Feature with Just 7 Days to Go

SAN MATEO, California, May 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

           Hit Kickstarter project doubles the device's memory and provides a free

                             built-in microphone for backers

    MiiPC [http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2102024857/1909836057?tokenaa9d5c8 ], the
PC aimed at parents that smashed its funding goal on Kickstarter within 24 hours, today
announces that lucky backers can double the memory of their device easily. In addition,
MiiPC now comes with a free built-in microphone for everyone. The hit Kickstarter project
is upsetting the traditional PC market by launching the first family computer on Android,
and now provides the option to double MiiPC's memory from 1GB (RAM) and 4GB (Flash) to 2GB
(RAM) and 8GB (Flash) for just $15 before their campaign ends in a week's time.

    MiiPC smashed its funding goal by raising $50,000 in just 22 hours and 43 minutes from
its official launch on Kickstarter [http://www.miipc.com/kickstarter ], and allows parents
to monitor their kids' online activities in real time. Parents can let their children surf
the web, play games, watch media and do their homework, safe in the knowledge that they
are not being exposed to inappropriate content or distractions. By doubling the memory of
the device people can enjoy increased multi-tasking performance; better & faster task
switching between apps; and enhanced performance on larger and complicated apps or files.

    Young Soung, Founder of MiiPC, explains: "Throughout the campaign our backers have
enquired as to whether they can upgrade the memory of their MiiPC, and we have been
listening. We are very excited to offer the double memory option to all of our Kickstarter
backers and new backers alike at an affordable price, for those who want to get more
performance headroom with their MiiPC devices."

    Those who pre-order MiiPC will also receive a free built-in microphone to accompany
their device as an added bonus. The device already comes with a HDMI connection, so it can
be hooked up to computer monitors and most modern TVs and with two USB ports - meaning the
whole experience is optimized to provide a true keyboard and mouse experience. Parents can
then determine what their children can and can't have access to via the MiiPC companion
mobile app, whether they're at work, the supermarket, or a restaurant.

    With total funding secured MiiPC will now go into production, ready to deliver to
early bird backers in July. Right now those who pre-order MiiPC will receive the device at
a special Kickstarter price of $99 ($114 with the memory upgrade) before their campaign
ends on May 8th, 2013. After their Kickstarter campaign finishes additional devices will
be available at http://www.miipc.comat the regular price of $129 ($149 with double
memory).

    Double memory option

       
        - For existing backers you can upgrade from the 1GB (RAM) and 4GB (Flash) to
          2GB (RAM) and 8GB (Flash) for $15 before the Kickstarter campaign ends
        - New backers can also order the new package of 2GB (RAM) and 8GB (Flash) for
          $114 ($99 + $15) by selecting the appropriate Kickstarter reward

    Benefits of larger system RAM include

       
        - Overall increased multi-tasking performance when using multiple Android
          apps, better & faster task switching
        - Enhanced performance on larger & complicated apps (e.g. photo/video editors,
          complex games, XBMC-like Media Center) or open larger/more complex files

    Key features of MiiPC

       
        - Companion MiiPC mobile app allows parents to monitor and adjust their
          children's activities in real time, whether they're at home or out of the house - so
          perfect for busy or working parents
        - Internet security is no longer a worry as parents can be assured that their
          children aren't viewing unsuitable content
        - Unlimited multi-user accounts can be set-up for different family members,
          giving each different access to suitable apps and games. Makes it easy to spot if one
          member is hogging the computer/helps stop family squabbles over computer use
        - MiiPC is a fully functioning computer that runs on only 8.5 - 10 watts - 10x
          less than the average computer, so environmentally friendly and cheaper to run

    Specifications

    MiiPC runs on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) leveraging the ever-growing Android application
ecosystem. To complete the desktop computing experience MiiPC comes with access to a Web
Apps Center, which will include productivity, games, entertainment, multimedia and
educational selections.

Earn a chance at the grand prize and recognition as top app developer; Gain access to millions of consumers through NETGEAR genie+ marketplace

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR) (http://www.netgear.com), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, today launched a Million Dollar App Contest (http://www.netgearappcontest.com) to encourage software developers around the U.S. to create innovative apps for Connected Homes and Businesses available on the NETGEAR genie+(TM) marketplace (https://genie.netgear.com/). NETGEAR is looking for developers to join the 1,000+ member-strong NETGEAR Smart Network Developer Program (http://developer.netgear.com). Participating developers will submit their most creative and original work to NETGEAR's panel of judges. The top 3 app developers will win a trip to Las Vegas and the winner of the contest will also receive $10,000 with a chance to win the $1,000,000 40-year annuity* grand prize during the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES®). Participants will also earn revenue by monetizing their apps through the NETGEAR genie+ marketplace.

"NETGEAR is focused on changing how consumers interact with connected devices in the home to create a seamless hardware and software experience," said Cedar Milazzo, NETGEAR's vice president of software engineering. "With this SDK, developers can create powerful home and business apps and deliver them to millions of NETGEAR devices. Our Million Dollar App Contest is an opportunity for developers to amaze the world by building exciting new apps that create a compelling and unique experience for NETGEAR router and ReadyNAS® users, further enhancing the overall connected lifestyle of consumers."

The registration period and the deadline for submitting apps for the NETGEAR Million Dollar App Contest ends at midnight on September 30, 2013. Developers who complete the registration requirements, whether current or new members of the Smart Network Developer Program, are eligible to participate and may submit multiple entries. Participants must be legal residents of the U.S. and over the age of 18. The Top App Developer as determined by the judges will win $10,000 and have one shot at winning the $1,000,000 40-year annuity grand prize*. All accepted apps will be featured on the NETGEAR genie+ marketplace.

Submissions may be any kind of software application developed using the NETGEAR Smart Network Software Development Kit (SDK), be it for the web, a personal computer, or a mobile handheld device. Apps can fall into a wide range of market segments, such as business productivity; gaming; health; home energy; home monitoring; media (music and video); network management; network security; storage (backup and file sharing); printing; and support for both tech and non-tech services. A judging panel of industry experts will score the apps based on criteria in five categories of equal importance: (1) ease of use; (2) features and functions; (3) originality; (4) indispensability; and (5) integration of hardware. Full contest details and official rules and restrictions are described on the NETGEAR Million Dollar App Contest website (http://www.netgearappcontest.com).

Fifteen runners-up will also receive prizes, including NETGEAR ReadyNAS network attached storage devices or NETGEAR high performance routers.

The Smart Network and genie+ marketplace

Most home networks today are not smart enough to understand and optimize what you do, recognize the devices you connect to, or simply make whatever you do easier. The NETGEAR Smart Network is an intelligent network that enhances and adapts to individual lifestyle or business needs, personalized and customized based on the smart devices end users have (such as routers, gateways, network storage, switches, access points and more), the tasks that they want to do, and the applications they want to run.

The NETGEAR Smart Network is a first-of-its-kind platform that optimizes applications using the network, making devices easier to connect and run better and faster. With the Smart Network, NETGEAR enables application developers to take advantage of these previously under-utilized resources that are always on and always connected. Just as you customize your smartphone with apps or decide which channels you want to watch on TV, the Smart Network will revolutionize how you look at your network, to add more value.

With the evolution of genie+ marketplace, NETGEAR has opened up a world of possibilities for Smart Network developers -- over 1,000 and counting -- to create and monetize exciting, new apps to help you get the most out of your network. Launched last year, genie+ marketplace provides a simple way to download a variety of cutting-edge apps that can expand and customize NETGEAR routers, gateways, and network-attached storage (NAS) devices, while offering developers an end-to-end opportunity to monetize those apps. The suite of new applications includes productivity tools, media sharing applications, and a variety of other useful apps.

The initial launch of the iTalk mobile broadband data service consists of one data plan that includes 2GB capacity for $29.99 monthly with no contract. Additional volume plans are anticipated to be rolled out following the initial launch.

Mr. Levy concluded, "In addition to selling this service direct to consumers, iTalk intends to pursue volume wholesale distribution deals with nationwide re-sellers and other dealers."

Vuzix Sells Out of Gold Software Developer Kits for New M100 Smart Glasses

Running a full native Android OS simplifies development and provides compatibility with thousands of existing applications

NEW YORK, May 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix Corporation (TSX-V: VZX, OTC:BB: VUZI, FMB: V7X), the leading developer and supplier of smart glasses, announced that driven by strong demand, its initial run of Gold Edition M100 Smart Glasses Software Development Kits (SDK) have sold out with fulfillment expected over the coming several weeks. The Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses are a wearable display and computer for your smartphone. Vuzix is now shipping a limited number of M100 Gold SDKs to software, and augmented reality content developers and plans a wide-scale retail launch of the M100 this summer. Winner of the BEST OF INNOVATIONS in the Wireless Handset Accessory category at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the M100 continues to grow in popularity in the smartphone developer community.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110518/MM04932LOGO )

Since its launch, the Gold Edition of the Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses SDK has received overwhelming attention from developers with several ordering multiple development kits to help accelerate their development. The Vuzix M100 SDK Silver Edition continues to be available with emulation software shipping immediately and hardware scheduled to ship in early summer.

Vuzix President and CEO Paul Travers said, "It is great to see such overwhelming demand for our Smart Glasses, especially from the enterprise and prosumer sectors. Since Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses are very similar to an Android based smart phone, using the same general hardware and Android OS, developers are finding it easy to write and port applications for the M100. Many of the applications available today through popular Android app stores are already confirmed to work unmodified with the M100 and in other cases just a few simple modifications allow them to provide optimum performance. This native mode compatibility opens the door to thousands of existing and optimized applications being able to work with the M100 on the day it ships."

Hello Direct Announces it Now Carries All Major Headset Brands

Broader Brand Portfolio Now Accounts for Over 95% of Market

NASHUA, N.H., May 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hello Direct announced that, effective today, it now sells all the leading brands of office and Unified Communications (UC) headsets and end point products, solidifying its position as the leading US B2B direct marketer of telephony products.  In addition to continuing to sell Jabra's full line of office and consumer headsets, Hello Direct now offers the corded and wireless office and UC headsets from Plantronics, VXi, and Sennheiser.  Together these four brands account for an estimated 95% of the US office headset market.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130501/NE05108LOGO)

The market for UC headsets and USB accessories is experiencing a tremendous explosion of growth as many companies are deploying UC telephony platforms from Cisco, Microsoft & Avaya.  Most of these platforms require a headset, as voice calls can now be handled over the PC as opposed to a traditional phone base system.  A selection of this expanded product portfolio can be seen in the May issue of Hello Direct's award-winning catalog, while the full product line is available on the Hello Direct website at http://www.hellodirect.com.

In February, Hello Direct was acquired by Synergy Communications Management (SCM) of Cape Canaveral, FL, which also owns Call One, Allied Resources and other leading headset and Unified Communications device resellers.  The acquisition by SCM enabled Hello Direct to join the largest headset/ UC affiliates group in the North American market and begin selling the other major headset brands.

"We are pleased to welcome Hello Direct to our group, and excited about being able to expand the brands available to Hello Direct customers," said Stephen Mays, SCM's VP of Business Development.  "For years, Hello Direct has built its foundation upon providing outstanding customer service and first in class telecom solutions.  Now, for the first time in over a decade, we are able to expand those telephony solution options for our customers by selling all the major brands.  This is a very exciting time and we are looking forward to growing even stronger."

In addition to the four major brands of headsets, Hello Direct also carries leading brands of other telephony products and accessories, such as Polycom, Logitech, RCA, Panasonic, AT&T, Yamaha, Digital Loggers, Revo Labs, EnGenius, Snom, Konftel, and Aastra.

About Hello Direct

Hello Direct is a unit of Synergy Communications Management (SCM) of Cape Canaveral, FL, and is the leading US direct marketer of telephony products.  In business since 1987, Hello Direct is based in Nashua, NH, where it maintains offices for its 54 employees and a distribution center that allows it to ship nearly all products on the day they are ordered.

"I was a victim of a series of accidents, as are we all." - an example of just one "Vonnegutism," a popular term given by Vonnegut fans and book readers around the world.

"Kurt Vonnegut was known worldwide for his 'Vonnegutisms' and this will give his fans a chance to contribute their favorites," said Arthur Klebanoff, CEO of RosettaBooks.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/-- OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a leading developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, launched today its smallest full high-definition (FHD) CameraChip sensor designed for front-facing camera applications in smartphones, tablets and ultrabooks. The new OV2724 delivers high frame rate 1080p/60 HD video with best-in-class sensitivity and dynamic range, and can fit inside a 5 x 5 x 3.5 mm module, making the OV2724 an ideal camera solution for video chat and video conferencing applications on mobile devices.

"High-definition video chat and our latest video-in-video (ViV(TM)) functionality have quickly become highly desired features in mobile devices. However, enabling these features and integrating the necessary hardware into ultra-slim, high-performance devices is a continuous challenge for manufacturers," said Justin Kim, senior product marketing manager at OmniVision. "The OV2724 is uniquely positioned to address that challenge by offering smartphone and tablet manufacturers an easy-to-integrate front-facing camera solution that can meet both the performance requirement demanded by consumers, and the increasingly tight z-height constraint for next-generation mobile devices."

Utilizing an advanced 1.34-micron OmniBSI-2(TM) pixel architecture, the OV2724 captures 1080p HD video at 60 frames per second (FPS) with enhanced high dynamic range and low-light performance. The sensor's improved pixel performance ensures high-quality video recording even in the most difficult high- and low-light scenes. By using OmniVision's proprietary imaging technology to reduce or eliminate common sources of image contamination, such as fixed pattern noise and smearing, the 1/6-inch OV2724 produces clean and fully stable color images.

The OV2724 features a dual-lane MIPI interface and is available in chip scale package (CSP) and reconstructed wafer (RW) formats. The sensor is currently sampling and is expected to enter mass production in the third quarter of calendar 2013.

Raritan's presentations will explore how DCIM solutions help simplify the management of complex data center infrastructures by focusing on the physical and asset-level components and related resources, including space, energy and capacity.  Raritan also will be speaking on how smart racks -- instrumented to monitor energy, temperature and adds/moves/changes -- minimize the costs of managing data centers, and on best practices for delivering efficient and reliable power.

In other related news at the conference, Raritan partner Subzero Engineering announced today that their enclosures and other offerings will be equipped with Raritan's intelligent rack power distribution units, which measure actual power consumption using kWh and other metrics.

Raritan's dcTrack 3.0, announced last month, will be shown at the conference in Booth #835.  Recognized as a top DCIM solution, dcTrack helps data centers clearly visualize infrastructure resources, keep accurate track of data center assets, improve asset "change, move and add" processes, and find infrastructure capacity to expand the life of a data center.

In addition to dcTrack, Raritan will be showing other smart solutions, including PowerIQ® energy management software, intelligent rack PDUs, smart electronic asset-tracking solution and other solutions designed to help manage data centers resources efficiently and smartly.

Deploying High Power at the Rack
Presented by: David Wood, Raritan Director- Power Business
Tuesday, April 30, 8:15-9:15 am, Palm D, Session PIS14.

High-power requirements for data centers include racks filled with 1U "pizza box" servers or multiple blade server chassis in one rack.  Network storage devices can also drive high demand for power.  This presentation will examine how to determine and design for peak actual power demand and the most efficient and reliable approaches for delivering power, especially when deploying blade servers.

New Way Forward with DCIM - Full Power Chain and Network Connection Management
Presented by: James Cerwinski, Raritan Software Director
Wednesday, May 1, 10-11 am, Banyan CD, Session FM4.1.

Today's data centers are more dynamic, have higher power density, and are more complex, yet managers are being tasked with improving uptime and capacity utilization simultaneously.  An endless stream of solutions is available to achieve improved capacity utilization and uptime.  However, success can't be achieved without optimum power and network connectivity.  In this session, you will learn about connectivity management, why it is important, and the benefits data center managers will see through implementation of such a solution.

Our highly experienced team of learning experts worked alongside our talented teams of designers and producers to create the ultimate reading tool and engaging content experiences that reinforce a child's language and literacy skills. We are extremely proud of how fun and interactive every book, workbook, map, audio book and flash card is while providing children rich and unique learning experiences."

"The statistics are jaw-dropping - one in six children who are not reading proficiently in third grade fail to graduate from high school on time, four times the rate for children with proficient third grade reading skills[ii]," said Dr. Jody Sherman LeVos, leader of LeapFrog's Learning Team. "We know that children learn to read and write better when experienced together. LeapReader allows these skills to be practiced concurrently using physical books along with related skills like listening comprehension. With LeapReader, as children touch letters to hear their sounds and listen to words pronounced and sounded out, they build phonics and word recognition skills. Additionally, as they trace and write letters, they learn about proper stroke order and writing fluency."

InStep Software Selected to Conduct Real-Time Environmental and Radiological Monitoring of Nuclear Power Plants in Illinois

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) chooses Chicago-based company's eDNA real-time data acquisition, storage and analytics software platform to monitor all seven nuclear power plants in Illinois

CHICAGO, April 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- InStep Software announced today that the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) has selected its eDNA software suite to perform real-time environmental and radiological monitoring of the state's seven nuclear power plants. The selection of InStep Software was accomplished as part of a competitive bid process.

InStep's advanced data management software will be used by IEMA to continually monitor, store and analyze data from Illinois' 11 commercial and three closed nuclear reactors. eDNA seamlessly integrates with the IEMA's existing monitoring devices and will immediately alert IEMA personnel of abnormal changes in radiation levels.

"Keeping public safety our top priority, we recognized the need to modernize our legacy system. We wanted to deploy a modern supportable software platform that could provide the customization and reliability that we require for such a mission critical application," said Kirk Lonbom, Chief of Information Technology at IEMA. "With InStep's eDNA software, we can modernize our capabilities and ensure we can continuously monitor critical environmental and radiological parameters and share information in real-time throughout the agency."

As part of the $1.4 million contract award with the state agency, InStep will replace the legacy monitoring system with a state-of-the-art, Microsoft Windows-based solution. The new monitoring system will be easier to support and maintain as well as provide more advanced and flexible visual representation of the collected information to IEMA personnel.

"We're excited to be selected by IEMA to replace their legacy monitoring solution and deliver a modernized nuclear monitoring system for the State of Illinois," said John Kalanik, President of InStep Software. "This system is critical to public safety, and eDNA provides a reliable, customizable and scalable platform to meet IEMA's monitoring and analysis needs."
