Education Portal Offers 13 Free AP Courses to Help High School Students Ace Their Exams

Courses provide most efficient way to study for upcoming AP exams

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Education Portal, a Silicon Valley start-up that develops free online courses that lead to real college credit, today added 13 Advanced Placement (AP) courses to its roster of over 40 college courses. The AP courses are designed to help high school students pass the upcoming AP exams in May.

Students can save thousands of dollars on the cost of their education and reduce student loan debt by taking AP courses. Research shows that students who perform well in AP courses are more likely to graduate from college in four years. AP courses allow students to acquire the skills and habits to be successful in college as well as earn college credit that is accepted by more than 90 percent of U.S. colleges and universities. With AP exams fast approaching, students are forced to cram an entire school years' worth of information to prepare for the exam. Education Portal's courses offer an easy way for students to review important information.

"With the cost of college on the rise, and student loan debt reaching $1 trillion, a higher education is becoming out of reach for many students," said Ben Wilson, President, Education Portal. "AP exams allow students to earn low cost credit and eliminate the need for student loans."

Education Portal's AP courses, which include the popular Calculus, US History and Biology, consist of fun and engaging video micro-lectures that reinforce topics taught in a typical AP class. Students can use the courses to review concepts learned early in the year or to learn material that the class didn't get to.For more information on Education Portal and their free courses, please visit http://www.education-portal.com

Toshiba Announces Thinnest Camera Module With High Resolution, 13 Mega Pixel, Image Sensor For Top-Quality Pictures

New Camera Module Will Drive Next-Generation, Ultra-Thin Smartphones and Tablets

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs, today announces the industry's thinnest CMOS image sensor camera module with high-resolution, 13 mega pixel (MP), imaging ideal for next-generation, ultra-thin smartphones and tablet devices. The new TCM9930MD leverages an advanced image pre-processing LSI (companion) chip and a refined module structure to create a compact image sensor camera module with the industry's lowest profile at just 4.7 mm in height.

Achieving today's high-resolution CMOS image sensors requires a larger optical size for corresponding lenses which results in a thicker camera module and a bulkier mobile device. The conventional method for lowering the camera module height is to modify the optical lens design which becomes problematic due to resolution drop around the corners of the image area. The TCM9930MD, however, resolves this drop in resolution with the use of the image pre-processing LSI (companion) chip that provides distortion correction and performs image resolution reconstruction( )((1)).  Additionally, the TCM9930MD achieves its low profile by using a flip-chip structure for the image sensor. Toshiba opted to use flip-chip packaging because it allows for a large number of interconnects, with shorter distances than wire, which greatly reduces assembling area and package height.

"Toshiba once again proves its technical expertise in the development of this ultra-low height module enabling customers to create the thin, attractive mobile products that consumers have come to expect," says Andrew Burt, vice president of the Analog and Imaging Business Unit, System LSI Group at TAEC. "Our strategy of continuous innovation and enhancement to the TAEC systems offering, especially for the camera/imaging markets, provides the technology solutions that will drive thinner mobile devices without compromising picture quality or performance." 

Pricing and Availability
Sample pricing for the TCM9930MD camera module is set at $80 (U.S.).  The TCM9930MD is expected to be available in sample quantities by May 2013.

Sungrow's SG30KTL Obtains Double-A Grade from Photon Lab's Test

MUNICH, April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sungrow's SG30KTL has been awarded a double-A grade evaluation ("Sehr Gut") by Photon Lab for both medium and high irradiation, commendably following its siblings, Sungrow's 4kW and 15kW inverters. So far, the SG30KTL has climbed to 5th in the Photon ranking of all tested inverters and 1st of all Asian inverters, as well as the 1st in all string inverters with power above 20kW.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130402/CN83417)

The SG30KTL, the highest capacity wall-mounted inverter on the market, was launched in 2012 and certified by CE, TUV, BDEW, VDE AR N 4105, AS4777 and CEI0-21 at that time. Excellent structural and circuitry design makes it very compact and the lightest inverter in the same power class. The 65kg inverter can easily be handled by two workers during installation requiring no lifting machine, meaning that installation and maintenance costs can be reduced significantly. With the outdoor design and integrated DC combiner box function, system costs can be further lowered.

The maximum efficiency of the SG30KTL is 98.3%, while EU and CA efficiencies are both 98.1%. The function setting on single or dual MPPT enables the SG30KTL to achieve higher conversion efficiency, higher system flexibility and more cost efficiency. "It's the top inverter over all the tested inverters," raved Photon Lab. The SG30KTL has been widely installed in China, Germany, Spain and many other countries.

This award of "double-A" grade from the prestigious Photon Lab not only assures the quality and performance of Sungrow's inverters, but also supports and accelerates the process of internationalization. As the largest PV inverter manufacturer in Asia, Sungrow has gained a reputation of providing high quality products and effective services to customers. In addition, through deep study of client's requirements, Sungrow is dedicated to technological innovation in product design and performance in order to reduce product and system costs.

The Future is Oil-free in Compressed Air Business: Tamturbo Introduces a Next-generation Oil-free Air Turbo Compressor at ComVac 2013 in Hannover

TAMPERE, Finland, April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Where there is industry, there is a need for compressed air. Production of compressed
air is responsible for at least 10% of all industrial energy consumption. Tamturbo, based
in Tampere, Finland, is determined to change that figure together with the leading global
compressor manufacturers.

    (Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130402/606889 )

    If simplicity is beautiful, the new gearless Tamturbo compressors
[http://www.tamturbo.fi/turbo-compressors/direct-drive-oil-free-air-turbo-compressors ]
should earn a place in an art gallery. Direct drive from high-speed motor to turbo
impeller means significantly fewer parts in mechanical contact, i.e. less energy loss and
less wear compared to conventional ways of producing oil-free air. It also means that
energy efficiency does not deteriorate over the life cycle of the compressor. Furthermore,
simplicity means less need for maintenance. All these together result in remarkable
savings in the life cycle costs of the compressor.

    The environmental benefits of producing oil-free air with a high-speed turbo
compressor are clear. In addition to energy savings there is, for example, no need to
change oil filters and throw them into the waste bin. Lastly, Tamturbo has developed and
patented a new capacity control method that extends the efficient control range of turbo
compressor by dozens of percentage points, which again translates into lower electricity
bills.

    Timo Pulkki, head of sales at Tamturbo [http://www.tamturbo.fi ], is confident that
their release is going to be a milestone in the development of compressed air technology.
"It will be fun to rock the boat a little," he admits. "The more we discuss with the
leading compressor manufacturers around the world about licensing our technology, the more
we get the feeling that we have the right product at the right time."

    Negotiations are currently underway with many major compressor manufacturers, but Timo
is inviting others to join in. "The biggest technological change for decades is on in the
industry. The world's leading compressor manufacturers have already launched, or are
developing, their first products with similar technologies, so this is definitely
something you don't want to miss," he says. "Tamturbo technology simply gives you the
competitive edge."

    It's fair to say that not many people in this world know more about high-speed
technology and turbo compressors than the managing director of Tamturbo, Jaakko Sailakivi.
He is also very pleased with the technological advances they have achieved. "We have
managed to root out most of the drawbacks previously associated with turbo compressors,"
states Jaakko. "Our bearing solutions guarantee a long life, the new capacity control is
unprecedented, and we have several other patents pending on the details of improving turbo
compressor efficiency and capacity control."

    Tamturbo is going to offer its new products both as a Tamturbo-branded compressor
directly for end users in Scandinavia, and also as an OEM package together with a license
for the technology for other compressor manufacturers worldwide. In the business field,
cooperation between major corporations and smaller technology suppliers is standard. "We
cannot conquer the world alone," says Jaakko Sailakivi. "Thus, we need strong partners
globally to license our technology."

New Plastic Film is the Future of 3D on-the-go

SINGAPORE, April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Temasek Polytechnic (TP) and A*STAR's Institute of Materials Research and
Engineering's (IMRE) new nano-engineered screen protector that turns the ordinary screens
of handheld devices into 3D displays will be marketed by start-up, Nanoveu Pte Ltd. The
unique plastic film can also potentially be used as next generation security tokens
employed by banks and corporations.

    1. Singapore, 02 April 2013 - Ditch the 3D glasses. Thanks to a simple plastic filter,
mobile device users can now view unprecedented, distortion-free, brilliant 3D content with
the naked eye. This latest innovation from TP and IMRE is the first ever glasses-free 3D
accessory that can display content in both portrait and landscape mode, and measures less
than 0.1 mm in thickness.

    2. "The filter is essentially a piece of plastic film with about half a million
perfectly shaped lenses engineered onto its surface using IMRE's proprietary
nanoimprinting technology," said Dr Jaslyn Law, the IMRE scientist who worked with TP on
the nanoimprinting R&D since 2010 to enhance the film's smoothness, clarity and
transparency compared to other films in the market.

    3. To complement the filter, the team developed applications for two software
platforms, Apple iOS and Android, which allow users to play 3D content through its filter,
in both landscape and portrait formats. The applications also allow 2D pictures taken
using mobile devices to be converted into 3D. The team will be releasing a software
development kit that enables game developers to convert their existing games into 3D
versions.

    4. The team is also exploring using the same technology for security access tokens to
decode PIN numbers sent online as an inexpensive and portable alternative to rival bulkier
and more expensive battery-operated security tokens, similar to those used by Singapore
banks today.

    5. "The team's expertise in both hardware and software development in 3D technology
has enabled high quality 3D to be readily available to consumers," said Mr Frank Chan, the
TP scientist who led the overall NRF-funded project. "We have taken age old lenticular
lens technology that has been around for the last hundred years, modernised it and
patented it using nanotechnology." Lenticular lens technology creates a transparent film
that retains the brilliance of 3D visuals and effects, which does away with the need for
stronger back lighting and saves on battery consumption in mobile devices.

    6. "The successful development of this product is indeed testimony that we have been
able to bridge the gap between R&D and commercialisation in the area of 3D interactive
digital media (IDM), aided by the NRF Translational R&D Grant and gap funding from
A*STAR," said Mrs Lay-Tan Siok Lie, Deputy Principal of TP.

    7. The two-year project was initially funded under a National Research Foundation
(NRF) Translational R&D Grant in Dec 2010 to look at optimising the control of the
nanostructures and integrating its effects with the complementary software applications.
The team has since shifted its focus towards commercialisation with support from Exploit
Technologies Pte Ltd (ETPL), A*STAR's technology transfer arm and a one-stop resource that
brings together home-grown technology, funding, collaboration and networks to assist
A*STAR spin-offs and start-ups.

    8. "Our breakthrough is a game-changing piece of plastic that simply fits onto current
smartphones or tablets to give users breathtaking 3D graphics on their smart devices. This
removable plastic also opens up a multitude of opportunities for anyone wanting to create
affordable premium 3D content and games for quick adoption to existing portable devices
easily," said Nanoveu Pte Ltd Founder and CEO, Mr Alfred Chong. The start-up is licensing
the technology exclusively from ETPL and TP, and is currently securing the interest of
local and overseas customers and investors.

    9. "The success of this project is typical of what IMRE aims to do - innovate and turn
science into an exciting business opportunity. I'm glad this has given us products that
make life just a little bit more fun," said Prof Andy Hor, Executive Director of IMRE.

BECU Launches New Advertising Campaign: SHARE

More than 50 Pacific Northwest members' social media stories brought to life in new ad campaign

TUKWILA, Wash., April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, BECU launched its new multi-media advertising campaign, SHARE, featuring over 50 stories of real BECU members taken from real social media interactions. 

BECU has ascended from being member-owned, to being member-loved. Over the last two years, BECU's membership has skyrocketed as a result of outrage over large banks' excessive fees and the subsequent Occupy movement.  Since 2011, BECU membership has grown by over 18 percent. The SHARE campaign expresses the thoughts and feelings of both new and longtime members about their ongoing relationship with BECU. The advertising features the actual words and authentic interactions taking place between BECU and its members on social media.

"The SHARE campaign is the BECU brand as voiced by our members," said Stephen Black, vice president of marketing. "We love seeing the real thoughts and opinions of our members come through our social media interactions with them every day. Their stories inspire us and move us. We wanted to share them with the community."

After recruiting more than 50 members to participate, BECU in collaboration with its advertising agency, Seattle-based DNA, produced several TV, radio, outdoor, print and digital ads to distribute the SHARE campaign. Viewers will see real messages from real members in the ads. No scripting was involved.

"This kind of member (customer) advocacy is non-existent at the big banks, and is rare to find with any brand these days" said Alan Brown, principal and managing director of DNA. "Our approach couldn't be more appropriate, because we're listening to what members are already saying, then putting it verbatim into the advertising. There isn't any spin here - it's just a reflection of the reality that is happening."

"It's not every day that someone asks you to be in a television ad," said Zachary B., a BECU member. "I've had varying bank experiences and by far the best one that I've had is with BECU. It's a pleasure to return the favor."

For people in the Northwest who want a fresh alternative to uncertainty in the banking industry, BECU has increasingly become the favored choice. People share their love for BECU every day - in face-to-face conversations, on Facebook, on Twitter, on Yelp, and on blogs. It is a one-of-a-kind campaign bringing real member comments to life.

Funai acquiring Lexmark's inkjet-related technology and assets

- Amount of sale is approximately $100 million (approximately JPY 9.5 billion)

- Inkjet-related assets sold include more than 1,500 U.S. and foreign-based patents, output and imaging technologies, and manufacturing location in the Philippines

- Lexmark remains focused on its continued transition from a hardware-centric to a solutions-centric company

LEXINGTON, Ky., April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Funai Electric Company, Ltd. (TSE/OSE 6839) today announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire Lexmark International, Inc.'s (NYSE: LXK) inkjet-related technology and assets for approximately $100 million (approximately JPY 9.5 billion).

Upon closing of the transaction, Funai will acquire more than 1,500 inkjet patents, Lexmark's inkjet-related research and development assets and tools, all outstanding shares and the manufacturing facility of Lexmark International (Philippines), Inc., and other inkjet-related technologies and assets. Through this transaction, Funai will acquire the capabilities to develop, manufacture and sell inkjet hardware as well as inkjet supplies. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close within the first half of 2013.

As an OEM manufacturer, Funai has manufactured inkjet hardware for Lexmark since 1997 and the companies have established a strong relationship over that time.

The acquisition of the inkjet-related technology and assets will enable Funai to launch new inkjet hardware and supplies under Funai's own brands. Funai has established a strategy to develop and grow its inkjet printer business by introducing Funai's own inkjet printers and supplies into the market. With the inkjet patents, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and comprehensive R&D capabilities, Funai will be able to accelerate the expansion of its inkjet business.

For Lexmark customers and distributors, there will not be a disruption of service or support as they continue to work directly with Lexmark. Funai will become a manufacturer of Lexmark's aftermarket inkjet supplies. Lexmark will continue to support its installed base of customers in the sale of aftermarket inkjet supplies and will continue to provide customer technical and warranty support.

Goldman, Sachs & Company acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Lexmark on this transaction. 

Supporting Quotes:

"This transaction provides us with a crucial and tremendous opportunity to enhance our office solution business," said Funai president and chief executive officer, Tomonori Hayashi. "Funai and Lexmark have developed a great partnership, and we are glad to take over Lexmark's inkjet-related technology and assets. The acquisition of the inkjet-related technology and assets enables Funai to start and grow our own inkjet business. Funai will benefit from the strong inkjet business platform that Lexmark has established." 

"As we continue our transition to becoming a leading end-to-end solutions provider, this transaction essentially completes our exit from the ownership of inkjet-related assets, although we will continue to support our existing customer base with the sale of inkjet supplies," said Paul Rooke, Lexmark chairman and chief executive officer. "Funai has been a trusted partner of Lexmark's since 1997, and I am fully confident in Funai's ability to deliver high-quality inkjet supplies for Lexmark."

FICO Acquires Infoglide, a Leading Provider of Entity Resolution and Social Network Analysis

Accelerates fraud investigation and brings new, high-powered analytics to fraud detection, security and compliance

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE: FICO), the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, today announced it has acquired Infoglide Software, a leading provider of entity resolution and social network analysis solutions, used primarily to improve fraud detection, security and compliance. The transaction is closed.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111010/CG83314LOGO)

Infoglide's solutions expedite fraud investigations and will further differentiate FICO's industry-leading fraud solutions in banking, insurance, retail and healthcare, as well as enabling FICO analytics to be applied to fraud, security and compliance challenges across multiple industries, including telecommunications and cyber-security.

Established in 1996 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, Infoglide is a privately held company with clients in the banking, insurance, government, retail and healthcare industries, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, JP Morgan Chase, Citi and the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Infoglide has been a close partner of FICO, and the Infoglide Identity Resolution Engine (IRE) is already integrated with FICO fraud management applications, including FICO(®) Insurance Fraud Manager.

"Infoglide's technology is the best at finding suspicious information in an insurance claim or financial transaction, then making links with other transactions to expose otherwise invisible patterns," said Will Lansing, FICO CEO. "We chose Infoglide because it brings to our fraud analytics three important and distinctive capabilities: entity resolution, link discovery and network visualization. These capabilities will be fully integrated with FICO's advanced predictive models and flexible business rules to give all of our clients - and every legitimate customer of theirs - the best possible protection. With this acquisition, we also gain a strong foothold in the government sector for our integrated fraud management solutions, and can extend our advanced analytics into the areas of network risk assessment, security and compliance."

"No company compares with FICO for sophisticated fraud detection," said Mike Shultz, president and CEO of Infoglide Software. "Like FICO, we invested in innovation and we have more than 20 patents on our technology to prove it. Our partnership over the last two years has been an excellent trial run that demonstrated the value clients place on our combined offerings."

Infoglide offers an advanced identity resolution and social network analysis software package that enables users to understand the relationships between their organization, customers, events, and third-party actors. The IRE solution enables an organization to perform real-time searches across their enterprise data to find, match, and link similar entities and uncover hidden relationship between people, places and things. The IRE can intelligently search across disparate data sources and receive very accurate results, without moving, cleaning or normalizing the data. The Infoglide technology has the industry's most advanced identity resolution/fuzzy matching logic with powerful 'false positive/negative' tuning. This enables FICO solutions to identify non-obvious relationships between entities, and assess the collective risk of associated individuals, devices, transactions and events.

Banks, insurance companies and government agencies use this technology to expose money laundering schemes, uncover criminal rings, detect insider fraud, enhance securing screening processes, understand and uncover terrorist networks, and investigate crime. For example, if an insurance claim looks suspicious, Infoglide software searches for matching phone numbers or addresses in other databases to find connections that may indicate a fraud ring. One client, the Maryland Automobile Insurance Fund, reported that it would take investigators almost 30 days to pull together all the paper files they needed to connect information on a possibly fraudulent claim. After the implementation of Infoglide IRE, they now connect this information the same day, and start investigating the most suspicious cases immediately.

The Infoglide acquisition further extends FICO's leadership in enterprise fraud management. The company's solutions include FICO(®) Falcon(®) Fraud Manager, which protects more than 2.5 billion payment accounts worldwide; FICO(®) Insurance Fraud Manager and FICO(®) Application Fraud Manager. FICO was recently awarded "best-in-class" status by CEB TowerGroup for card fraud and enterprise fraud management, and named a leader in the Q2 2013 report The Forrester Wave(TM): Enterprise Fraud Management.

SingleHop Launches VMware® Enterprise Private Cloud -- Single-Tenant Cloud Computing Environment Meets Security and Compliance Concerns

Users Manage the New Solution through the VMware vSphere(TM) Virtualization Platform - Can Flexibly Deploy Unlimited Virtual Machines at No Additional Cost

CHICAGO, April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SingleHop, a global leader in highly automated cloud computing and infrastructure-as-a-service, announced today the availability of its VMware Enterprise Private Cloud, which offers a private cloud environment powered by the VMware vSphere Enterprise Plus platform. The product is a secure single-tenant pool of computing resources, custom-built for every client, and connected with a highly scalable SAN storage solution. The end result is a private computing platform with the flexibility and scalability of the cloud with industrial-strength security capabilities.

The Enterprise Private Cloud utilizes SingleHop's tried and tested automated infrastructure platform in accordance with VMware's enterprise-class cloud computing technology. Some of the features of this blend include:

    --  Purpose Designed and Custom Built: SingleHop sales engineers work with
        the client to build a network diagram that balances efficiency of design
        with raw computing power to determine the client's ideal configuration.
    --  Rule-Based AutoScaling: Clients can write business rules that govern
        increases or decreases in resources based upon real-time data.
    --  Automatic Failover: Users receive high availability using redundant
        SAN-based Cloud Storage, leveraged by the SingleHop Cloud
    --  Live Migrations: Users can perform live migrations between virtual
        machines and cloud servers with no downtime.
    --  Remote System Administration: Access is provided by both the VMware
        vCenter(TM) Server and SingleHop LEAP 3 control panels.
Users of the VMware Enterprise Private Cloud can deploy unlimited virtual machines within the private cloud, and they can apply any Windows or Linux workload as well as a number of enterprise applications. These applications are managed through VMware's vFabric(TM) Suite, a middleware layer for data-intensive custom applications that enables users to deploy Microsoft stack applications as well as other enterprise apps within their secure private cloud.

"Our VMware Enterprise Private Cloud stands out in the market because it enables users to deploy any number of virtual machines with no fluctuation in costs, as there is no hourly billing or per-user fee," says Andy Pace, Chief Operating Officer at SingleHop. "Organizations can use it to deploy resources much faster to individual departments, because they can create and destroy virtual machines on the fly. It's ideal for companies that have concerns relating to privacy or need to meet certain compliance standards that cannot be fulfilled with public cloud options."

The VMware vCenter(TM) control panel has the ability to manage resources efficiently and allocate resource pools dynamically. When it comes to resource management, vCenter gives you the power to establish minimum, maximum, and proportional resource shares for CPU, memory, disk, and network bandwidth. All of these modifications happen seamlessly even while the virtual machines are running. With vSphere, resource pools are monitored continuously and automatically load balanced across your solution based on a series of pre-defined rules.

"When it comes to Private Clouds, we're setting the gold standard. With our new Enterprise Private Cloud offering, we're combining the power of two of the industry's best platforms; our own infrastructure automation platform and VMware's vCloud Enterprise Plus cloud technology. The result is a powerful blend of best-in-breed technologies that offer our customers the best of both worlds; scalability of cloud computing in a private yet scalable environment," said Andy.

VMware Enterprise Private Cloud also includes the complete SingleHop capabilities, with outstanding technical support, SLAs, and the company's industry-leading Customer Bill of Rights.

The VMware Enterprise Private Cloud is available as a custom-built solution. For more information, visit http://www.singlehop.com/cloud-hosting/private-cloud.php.

Mohu Announces SkyHDTV Outdoor Antenna

First of its Kind for Sale in the United States

RALEIGH, N.C., April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Mohu announced its first-ever outdoor/attic-mounted antenna, The SkyHDTV. Weighing three pounds and measuring only an inch thick, the Sky is a progressive multidirectional antenna that has redefined antenna technology for the consumer market.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130401/CL86379 )

"The Sky antenna is closely related to the mudflap antenna developed for covert, wide bandwidth, military communications by Mohu's parent company, GreenWave Scientific," said Mike Barts, Ph.D., Senior RF Engineer at Mohu. "The Sky belongs to a class of ultra wideband antennas, which are inherently non-resonant and provide even performance over large frequency ranges. This is a big advantage for over-the-air (OTA) TV reception where the frequency range from high to low is more than 10 to 1. The Sky's performance is remarkably consistent across the channels and we are extremely proud of it."

"The patent pending Sky is a variant of an antenna developed for Naval Surface Warfare special applications and has no similarities to any HDTV antenna products on the market," said Mohu Founder and President Mark Buff, Ph.D.  "The design has inherent frequency independent properties, leading to optimized performance across the VHF and UHF bands.  We take pride in the fact that all of our antenna products are original and highly innovative.   We believe customers know great products when they see them and will be highly satisfied with the Sky's performance and unique style."

About Mohu/Greenwave Scientific, Inc.

Mohu is a leading technology company based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Since introducing the best-selling paper-thin Leaf Antenna in March 2011, Mohu has positioned itself as a leader in the "cord-cutting" movement in the United States. Mohu estimates it has saved its customers more than $220 million in monthly cable and satellite bills in only two years.

Founder Mark Buff performed research & development relating to Improvised Explosive Device (IED) neutralization and defeat for various military initiatives. His research included the development of "low and no-profile" antenna systems for military ground vehicles, multi-channel antenna apertures for ground robots and anatomically accurate RF absorption measurement systems. Co-founder Russ Winstead was part of the development team responsible for IBM's first laptop, the Thinkpad.

Mohu products can be purchased from Mohu and Amazon.com. For more information, visit http://www.gomohu.com. Mohu and its related products are registered trademarks with several patents pending.
