New Multi-GNSS Receiver Chips "eRideOPUS 6" and "eRideOPUS 7" to Be Available from Summer 2013

NISHINOMIYA, Japan, March 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FURUNO ELECTRIC CO., LTD. announced on March 28 that new multi-GNSS receiver chips eRideOPUS 6 and eRideOPUS 7 will be available to the market from August 2013 onward. The new receiver chips are multi-GNSS compliant single-chip LSIs, capable of concurrently receiving signals from multiple satellites in GNSS systems, i.e., GPS, GLONASS*, Galileo, etc., and satellite-based augmentation systems as well as Japan's Quasi-Zenith Satellite System.
* eRideOPUS 7 only

The ability of concurrently receiving GNSS/GNSS augmentation signals from multiple satellites from different satellite services means that the receivers have more probability of acquiring a greater number of satellites at any single point of time. Subsequently, position stability as well as accuracy will be greatly improved, minimizing the chance of a position lost. Also, the receiver chips incorporate an enhanced level of noise rejection capability, implementing the anti-jamming function as well as the improvement of multi-path mitigation.

Time-to-first-fix capability of the existing eRideOPUS 5 (no more than 1 second when hot started) is retained in these new receiver chips with a combination of A-GPS compatibility and self-ephemeris (TM) extraction. Moreover, the position update rate of the new receiver chips is greatly improved, achieving a 10 Hz update (every 0.1 second), which is twice as fast as the capability achieved by eRideOPUS 5.

The new receiver chips are capable of dead reckoning navigation, using a gyro sensor and vehicle speed pulse signals, a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor, and wheel tick data taken from a CAN-Bus network, achieving high positioning accuracy even in locations where satellite signal reception is not available, such as inside tunnels.

In May 2013, FURUNO is planning to start the delivery of evaluation kits for the receiver chips so that third-party manufacturers can evaluate the feasibility of incorporating the receiver chips into their products, and in August 2013, the new compact GNSS receiver module GN-86/GN-87 as well as dead-reckoning-capable GV-86/GV-87, using these new receiver chips, will be made available for automotive navigation systems as well as eCall systems.

NEW YORK, March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Squarespace, the leading all-in-one website publishing platform, today announced the Canadian release of Squarespace Commerce, a completely integrated solution for selling physical and digital goods directly from the Squarespace platform. Squarespace Commerce is available to all existing and new Squarespace users in Canada at $USD 24 per month. The flat price includes all features, imposes no additional commissions, and does not limit SKUs.   

"Since launching Squarespace Commerce, we've gotten an overwhelming amount of requests to make our new e-commerce features available to Canadian users," said Anthony Casalena, CEO and Founder of Squarespace. "Canada is our second biggest market, and we're excited to offer the full range of Squarespace's features and capabilities in this country."   

Squarespace's interface has been updated to accommodate different currencies and measurements. Sellers can choose between Imperial and Metric standards to define product weights and weight-based shipping options. In addition, sellers can define taxes internationally and locally down to the postal code level, and Canadian sellers can list provincial and federal sales taxes separately in order invoices. As before, you can choose to add tax on products as well as shipping. It's possible to add more fine-grained shipping rules by jurisdiction, and define local rules by a single postal code or a range of postal codes.   

Sellers can easily add store pages to existing websites and present products in a flexible, minimal grid that can be customized using the Squarespace Style Editor. Additionally, sellers can easily feature items for sale anywhere on their site by dragging and dropping a Product Block directly onto blog posts, pages, or sidebars, allowing for a truly editorialized commerce experience.   

Initially designed for small stores with fewer than 200 SKUs, Squarespace Commerce is a powerful commerce offering with over 20 new features. The platform supports multi-dimensional product variants (such as size and color) as well as sale prices. The order fulfillment interface lets sellers easily see outstanding orders, resend customer update emails, and print packing slips. Digital goods are delivered upon purchase via customized email links that expire in 24 hours. Sellers can also create multiple kinds of coupons with different restrictions and expiry dates.     

Squarespace Commerce in Canada is powered by Stripe, an easy way to accept credit cards. Prospective sellers can sign up for Stripe directly within Squarespace and will be able to accept payments immediately using Stripe. Stripe charges a simple and transparent fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per successful transaction, and there are no Squarespace-imposed transaction fees for any customers.

Infusionsoft Unveils 2013 Spring Release at InfusionCon; 50,000 Small Business Users to Realize Greater Success with All-in-One Software

New features help small businesses save time, grow sales and achieve success

CHANDLER, Ariz., March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Infusionsoft, creator of the all-in-one sales and marketing software for small businesses, today kicks off its highly anticipated user conference, InfusionCon 2013, with the unveiling of its 2013 Spring Release. For most small businesses, sales and marketing is hard. Infusionsoft understands the challenges small businesses face, which is why the Spring Release is all about making sales and marketing easier for users. The new features and enhancements help small businesses tackle what matters most to them--increasing sales productivity, getting into the social media game, improving their marketing campaigns, and investing in activities that drive real results.

The 2013 Spring Release was revealed this morning during the opening keynote at InfusionCon, where more than 2,000 successful small business owners from around the globe have come together for three days of inspiring education, product training, networking and keynote presentations. Speakers include Daymond John, founder of FUBU and investor on ABC's Shark Tank, and David Allen, author of three books including the international bestseller Getting Things Done.

Infusionsoft CEO Clate Mask says, "We understand that time is everything for small business owners and we believe that being successful shouldn't come at the cost of having a life. Everything we do at Infusionsoft--from the enhancements we make to the software to the experience we create for attendees at InfusionCon--is about helping small businesses be successful while also making their lives easier and more enjoyable. Our promise to small businesses is that our software will save you time and grow your sales, and Infusionsoft is, and will always be, your biggest ally."

The Spring Release delivers on the promise of saving time and growing sales for small businesses. Highlights from the Spring Release include:

Grow Sales and Save Time with Sales Productivity Tools
New sales productivity tools like My Day make it easier to get organized, create quotes and move swiftly through sales activities to close more deals.

Create Social Media Campaigns that Get Results
GroSocial by Infusionsoft makes it possible to create social campaigns on Facebook that generate leads. Originally a stand-alone solution, GroSocial can now be accessed directly from Infusionsoft's Campaign Builder, making it even easier to create, manage and track social media marketing campaigns that get results.

Save Time & Improve Results with Pre-Built Marketing Campaigns
Infusionsoft's Marketplace includes a library of free, pre-built marketing campaigns that are proven to convert leads into buyers. Instead of starting from scratch, customers can download a campaign to their Infusionsoft app, personalize it and publish.

Learn Infusionsoft Faster with Interactive, In-App Product Training
Infusionsoft's new interactive training tutorials make it easy for users to learn about their favorite features directly from within their Infusionsoft application.

"Before any release we spend hundreds of hours listening to our customers so that we understand exactly what they need from our software to run their businesses successfully," says Infusionsoft chief product officer Richard Tripp. "The enhancements in the Spring Release make the app easier to use so that our small business customers get results faster and more efficiently. Our customers ask us to make sales and marketing easier for them and that's exactly what we're doing with this release."

"I've watched Infusionsoft grow over the last several years and it's nice to see that through it all they've stayed true to the small business market and the entrepreneur," says Paul Greenberg, author and principal of The 56 Group. "This company is acutely aware of what small businesses both want and need to move the needle with sales and marketing. I very much look forward to this year's reveal at InfusionCon, particularly the integration with GroSocial."

The Spring Release will become available to all customers in May.

Fresh off a $54 million round of funding led by Goldman Sachs and an acquisition of social media marketing software GroSocial, Infusionsoft has dominated the small business software market with its unique software that fuses CRM, marketing and e-commerce into one system.

More than 13,500 customers representing nearly 50,000 users in over 70 countries rely on Infusionsoft to help their businesses succeed. In 2012, Infusionsoft customers captured 40 million leads, sent 3.2 billion emails and processed $1.5 billion in transactions.

"InfusionCon completely blew me away last year," says Shaun Whynacht, Infusionsoft customer and owner of Blue Cow Creative. "I have never been to a conference with so much passion and energy. Last year was my first InfusionCon , this is my second year attending, and it will definitely not be my last. I'm traveling 12 hours from Nova Scotia to come and if you are an Infusionsoft user, you can't afford to miss this event."

InfusionCon 2013 is happening March 27-29 in Scottsdale, Ariz. at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa. Information on the InfusionCon 2013 agenda, speakers and networking events, can be found at http://www.infusioncon.com.

Pennsylvania Launches Adoption Mobile Website

HARRISBURG, Pa., March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania today launched one of the nation's first adoption mobile websites, providing easier access for those looking to adopt one of the nearly 2,500 children waiting for a permanent home. 

Thirty-eight percent of all visits to Pennsylvania's Statewide Adoption and Permanency Network (SWAN) website, adoptpakids.org, come from mobile devices. With the new mobile site, potential adoptive families who visit adoptpakids.org on their smartphone will automatically be directed to the new mobile site.

"People are no longer limited to using their personal desktop computers anymore; instead, they are using their smartphones and tablets to access information," Department of Public Welfare Acting Secretary Bev Mackereth said. "Finding a loving and caring home for children who have a goal of permanency can be a long process, and by creating the adoption mobile website we are making it easier for potential families to view children who deserve a forever home."

Accessing the adoption website from anywhere anytime provides convenience to both potential families and case workers. It offers search capabilities for viewing updated and newly added adoption profiles, a photo album of children waiting to be adopted, and information on post-permanency services and how to become a foster or adoptive parent.

SWAN is a broad-based cooperative effort and centralized information and facilitation service funded and overseen by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare. The network includes county children and youth agencies; juvenile court judges; foster and adoptive parents; private adoption agencies; the Pennsylvania Adoption Exchange; and many others working together on behalf of children who need permanent homes.

The SWAN program serves children in the custody of county children and youth agencies and supports their efforts in expediting permanency services. 

For more information on SWAN visit http://www.adoptpakids.org, call 1-800-585-SWAN (7926) or "like" SWAN on Facebook.

American Chemical Society introduces ACS ChemWorx(TM) -- the first secure, integrated research management environment serving scientists worldwide

Partnership with software innovator colwiz, Ltd makes research collaboration and publication more efficient

WASHINGTON, March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Chemical Society (ACS) announced today the launch of ACS ChemWorx, a powerful new research collaboration system designed to integrate all facets of the researcher's work life.  Every step of the research process--from forming an initial concept, to exchanging documents and literature references with a network of global collaborators, to assembling the resulting research findings with coauthors--can now be performed within the secure and interoperable ACS ChemWorx environment.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120614/DC25156LOGO)

The ACS also announced today its strategic investment in colwiz, Ltd. (colwiz), an early-stage company established by Oxford University scientists that is providing much of the underlying technology for ACS ChemWorx.  Under the terms of the development agreement, ACS and colwiz will combine the Society's trusted information services and membership benefits for chemistry professionals with the power of cloud-based social collaboration technology developed by colwiz, Ltd.

ACS ChemWorx enables researchers to quickly create online profiles with comprehensive messaging and social communication features, and to organize secure workgroups and projects, share document libraries, manage calendars and group task lists, and maintain private discussion areas.  Integrated Web, desktop, and mobile applications provide powerful capabilities for content discovery, reference and document management, coordinated storage and retrieval of data, and collaborative manuscript preparation and editing, as well as personal publication tracking with ACS Publications.  ACS ChemWorx is being offered free to any ACS-registered user, and to faculty and students based at any of the Society's institutional customers worldwide.

"ACS welcomes the opportunity to leverage colwiz's unique capabilities to speed the publication of research findings," said Susan King, Ph.D., Senior Vice President responsible for the Society's Journals Publishing Group.  "ACS is leading the way in digital publishing, and we are delighted to find in colwiz a technology partner who supports our vision of being the most trusted source of the comprehensive knowledge needed to cultivate the chemists of tomorrow.  To aid scientists with information solutions as part of their research workflows, we're creating together with colwiz a powerful suite of integrated Web and mobile applications, starting today with ACS ChemWorx."

"Our approach is to break down the research process into its key components, custom-build each tool from scratch, and integrate them seamlessly into a single platform for individual and group productivity," said Tahir Mansoori, CEO and co-founder of colwiz.  "At the moment, researchers are using a dizzying array of discrete applications for research management and collaboration--but because these are separate applications, they don't always talk to each other," said Mansoori.

"Researchers, the universities at which they work and the scholarly societies to which they belong, are natural partners for the advancement of scientific research," said Professor Andrew Hamilton, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford.  "As a member of ACS for over 30 years, I am delighted see technology solutions developed by colwiz, an Oxford University start-up company, underpinning the advancement of chemistry."

"We at colwiz are delighted to be embarking on this partnership.  ACS Publications has a distinguished publishing history and reputation for scientific rigor, and is known for facilitating rapid publication through its award-winning journal publishing platform and state-of-the art editorial and production operations, which integrate online submission, peer review and technical editing with web and mobile content delivery," said colwiz Chief Scientist, Professor David Gavaghan of Oxford University.  "Colwiz shares ACS Publication's vision of providing researchers with the tools they need to work together across continents and across disciplines--via software that manages the entire research lifecycle from an initial idea, through complex collaborations, and on to publication of the results."

Coinciding with the launch of ACS ChemWorx, ACS Publications also is introducing notable feature enhancements to the digital editions of its entire portfolio of peer reviewed research journals, including:

    --  ACS ActiveView PDF - An interactive full text format that enables
        researchers to attach highlights and notes to ACS journal articles of
        interest, explore referenced abstracts via the CAS SciFinder®-powered
        Reference QuickView, make and save annotations in their ACS ChemWorx
        library, share links with colleagues and lab group members, and sync
        their libraries across smartphone, tablet, and desktop environments.
    --  "Add to ACS ChemWorx" - Through a single click, researchers can export
        citations from any ACS article to their ACS ChemWorx reference
        libraries--via links found on search results, and on table of contents,
        abstract, and full text page types.
More information, including a comprehensive list of features and benefits, and instructions for individuals to enroll as ACS ChemWorx registered users, is available at http://www.acschemworx.org.

The American Chemical Society is a nonprofit organization chartered by the U.S. Congress.  With more than 163,000 members, ACS is the world's largest scientific society and a global leader in providing access to chemistry-related research through its multiple databases, peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences.  Its main offices are in Washington, D.C., and Columbus, Ohio.

ConvergEx Group's Patented ADR Products Now Offered Through RealTick® Platform

NEW YORK, March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ConvergEx Group, a leading technology company, today announced that it has made its patented* ADR Direct(®) and Reverse ADR(SM) products available to its customers through RealTick(®), its award-winning EMS platform.** ConvergEx customers using RealTick have access to a new user-friendly workflow that centralizes all the components of ADR conversions with global trade execution.

The comprehensive functionalities begin in the trade montage with a color-coded conversion button which displays in real time if a security is available for conversion - irrespective of where the security is traded. It then calculates conversion ratios and the number of ADRs/ordinary shares to trade. Once an ADR/ordinary share trade has been executed, customers can seamlessly facilitate conversions in the RealTick blotter with the flexibility to either convert all or some of the executed shares.

Users can also stage an order from their OMS to RealTick and ConvergEx's ADR technology will electronically set up a trading ticket. Even though the executed orders are in a different market than the staged order, the fills will come back to the customer's OMS in the symbol and currency of the staged order.

"Our unique functionality gives ConvergEx customers a solution to easily and automatically convert ordinary shares to ADRs and ADRs to ordinary shares in real time within the RealTick execution blotter," said Andrew Levine, managing director and head of ConvergEx's ADR business. "It offers the benefits of extended liquidity hours, while minimizing market impact and reducing trading costs. In addition, we also give customers the flexibility to either electronically trade and execute conversions within RealTick or have the ConvergEx ADR Desk execute the conversion trade on their RealTick blotter."

ConvergEx's ADR offering within RealTick includes:

    --  ADR Direct - This ground?breaking product allows customers to trade
        ordinary shares in 32 countries, convert the shares to ADRs in U.S.
        dollars and receive a net ADR price in real time. With ADR Direct, a
        customer settles the ADR portion of the trade through the U.S.
        settlement system.
    --  Reverse ADR - Investors can extend the local liquidity day into U.S.
        trading hours, continue to trade when there is news or to diversify
        trading markets during the Europe/U.S. overlap. With Reverse ADR,
        customers can trade ADRs in the U.S., receive a local currency
        conversion price and settle the trade in ordinary shares in the local
        currency, all according to the local settlement cycle.

ConvergEx's fully dedicated 24-hour ADR Desk offers support for ADR execution capabilities throughout Europe, Asia, South America, the Middle East and Africa. It provides access to overseas trading liquidity, conversion liquidity points, swap markets, odd lot and buy-in trading markets, corporate action issues, and securities borrowing. It is available to customers who both want to process their trade and conversion by themselves and to customers that prefer high-touch services.

RealTick is the industry's leading, global provider of advanced trading, data and risk solutions.  The RealTick platform features access to an extensive, multi-broker network with global, cross-asset class, multi-prime trading capabilities.  RealTick's ease of use, unsurpassed flexibility, world-class client service, and fully-configurable and intuitively integrated EMS software have earned the company the 2011 Best Provider of Execution Management Systems (EMS) from Waters Technology and Buy-Side Technology's 2011 Best EMS Award.

*ADR Direct includes technology subject to ConvergEx's U.S. Patent No. 7,778,896.

Only On Netflix: Sci-Fi Giants The Wachowskis And J. Michael Straczynski Team-Up To Create "Sense8"

Coming in 2014 from Georgeville Television, a new science-fiction thriller from the acclaimed directors of Cloud Atlas and The Matrix Trilogy and the creator of Babylon 5

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Netflix will bring Georgeville Television's Sense8, a gripping global tale of minds linked and souls hunted, exclusively to its members to watch instantly in late 2014.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101014/SF81638LOGO)

The 10 episode season one of Sense8 marks the first foray into television by the Wachowskis, the creative geniuses behind Bound, The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions, V for Vendetta, Speed Racer and Cloud Atlas, and is the latest project from veteran show runner J. Michael Straczynski, creator of the Hugo Award-winning Babylon 5 TV series and whose film credits include Changeling, Thor and Underworld Awakening,

"Andy and Lana Wachowski and Joe Straczynski are among the most imaginative writers and gifted visual storytellers of our time," said Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos. "Their incredible creations are favorites of Netflix members globally and we can't wait to bring Sense8 to life."

"We're excited to work with Netflix and Georgeville Television on this project, and we've wanted to work with Joe Straczynski for years, chiefly due to the fact his name is harder to pronounce than ours, but also because we share a love of genre and all things nerdy," said Andy and Lana Wachowski. "Several years ago, we had a late night conversation about the ways technology simultaneously unites and divides us, and out of that paradox Sense8 was born."

"We are proud to be working with Netflix on this new series," said Straczynski.  "Lana, Andy, and I are fans of each other's creations, and have been looking for something to do together for nearly a decade."

Sense8 is being produced by Georgeville Television, in association with Studio JMS.  Georgeville Television is a Reliance Entertainment company and independent television studio, formed by veteran film and television producer Marc Rosen, in partnership by Motion Picture Capital's Leon Clarance and Producer Deepak Nayar.  Formed in 2012, Georgeville Television currently has two series in pre-production, including NBC's Crossbones starring John Malkovich. Rosen, Clarance, and Nayar will serve as executive producers on Sense8.

Studio JMS, launched last year by Straczynski and CEO Patricia Tallman, was founded to produce a wide range of film, television, comics and other media properties.  In addition to The Flickering Light, Straczynski's feature directorial debut, and Sense8, Studio JMS has created a new comics imprint, Joe's Comics, published in partnership with Image Comics.  Its first series, "Ten Grand," will debut in May. In addition to Sense8, Motion Picture Capital is producing The Flickering Light, which begins filming in Berlin later this year.

"Sense8 is a dream-come-true creatively, and we look forward to working closely with our new partners at Netflix, with whom we could not be more excited to bring the Wachowski's first TV series ever to life," said Rosen. 

The Wachowskis are starting production next month on their new sci-fi adventure Jupiter Ascending for Warner Brothers, starring Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis.

"We're delighted to once again partner with Joe, and have the opportunity to work with Lana and Andy, two of our movie-making heroes, on their television debut," said Clarance.  "They have created a brilliant concept, which will be a wonderful story to produce, and a rich conceptual world for viewers to experience."

About Netflix, Inc.

Netflix is the world's leading Internet television network with more than 33 million members in 40 countries enjoying more than one billion hours of TV shows and movies per month, including original series.

Househappy.org® Announces Launch of Photo-Driven Real Estate Platform: Search and Post Property for Sale Around the World - for Free

PORTLAND, Ore., March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Househappy.org announced the official launch of its new photo-driven real estate platform for buyers, sellers, and brokers to search and post property for sale around the world--for free. Househappy is a user-generated search engine with the mission to simplify property search and make information accessible to everyone.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121017/SF94598LOGO)

Househappy was founded by Kevin McCloskey, a licensed real estate broker in California, Oregon, and Washington, with over 25 years of industry experience. "I created Househappy and tailored the user experience based on years of feedback from buyers and sellers, as well as my experience as a broker," McCloskey said. "Existing real estate sites limit visual search, are crowded with too many charts and graphs, and seem to hinder communication rather than encourage it. We want to minimize the unnecessary visual noise to simplify property search."

Househappy's clean, minimalist design includes scrolling pages of high-quality thumbnail images and user-friendly search filters to make it easier and faster for people to find what they're looking for. Buyers can search for properties that fit their particular requirements (including location, price, financing options, seller concessions, property features, community attractions, and more) and browse by images, not text. Providing user-generated content ensures that all posts contain the most accurate and up-to-date information.

In addition to simplifying search, Househappy is a community platform. Brokers and FSBOs (for sale by owners) can create detailed posts for any property type or sale type, and use their personal profile to directly connect with prospective buyers. Househappy profiles include direct contact information, links to social media, and the ability to track properties you have liked and/or connect with users who have liked your posts. Househappy is optimized for desktop, as well as iOS and Android mobile devices to make it easy to use on-the-go.

"I wanted to create an open platform with free access, social features, and user-friendly search," McCloskey said. "Househappy will provide a platform for all involved to communicate on their own terms, ultimately improving the real estate experience for everybody."

ZigBee IP: The First Open Standard For IPv6-Based Wireless Mesh Networks

New specification brings end-to-end IPv6 control to low-power, low-cost devices

SAN RAMON, Calif., March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The ZigBee® Alliance, a global ecosystem of companies creating wireless solutions for use in energy management, commercial and consumer applications, today announced the completion and public availability of its third specification, ZigBee IP. ZigBee IP is the first open standard for an IPv6-based full wireless mesh networking solution and provides seamless Internet connections to control low-power, low-cost devices. A free public webinar hosted by industry experts will discuss the unique capabilities of ZigBee IP on April 3.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20091005/SF86596LOGO)

ZigBee IP specification enriches the IEEE 802.15.4 standard by adding network and security layers and an application framework. ZigBee IP offers a scalable architecture with end-to-end IPv6 networking, laying the foundation for an Internet of Things without the need for intermediate gateways. It offers cost-effective and energy-efficient wireless mesh network based on standard Internet protocols, such as 6LoWPAN, IPv6, PANA, RPL, TCP, TLS and UDP. It also features proven, end-to-end security using TLS1.2 protocol, link layer frame security based on AES-128-CCM algorithm and support for public key infrastructure using standard X.509 v3 certificates and ECC-256 cipher suite.

"ZigBee IP offers a significant step forward in the expansion of IP-based control," said Mark Grazier, marketing manager and ZigBee board member, Wireless Connectivity Solutions, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI). "Having low-power, low-cost wireless mesh devices that connect to a variety of Smart Grid IPv6-based protocols will further expand the Internet of Things."

ZigBee IP continues the ZigBee tradition of self-organizing and self-healing mesh networking to enable robust communications over the globally available 2.4 GHz frequency as well as over the 868/915/920 MHz frequencies in select countries.  For a complete list of features and benefits, visit http://www.ZigBee.org/IP.

"ZigBee IP provides another option for product manufacturers to add mesh networking to their products," said Tobin Richardson, chairman and CEO of the ZigBee Alliance. "We expect to see a wave of ZigBee Certified products based on ZigBee IP when Smart Energy Profile 2 is completed later this year since ZigBee IP was designed specifically to meet SEP2 requirements for the Smart Grid."

Exegin, Silicon Labs and Texas Instruments provided Golden Units against which all future ZigBee Certified products using the ZigBee IP specification will be tested. This testing process ensures compliance with the specification so that manufacturers can be assured of consistent communications. Grid2Home and Sensinode achieved ZigBee Compliant platform status.  Testing services were provided by NTS, TRaC and TUV Rheinland.

Free Webinar
The Alliance will host a free public webinar on April 3, 2013.  "Introducing the new ZigBee IP specification for Direct Internet Connections" will be held at 8:00 am Pacific Time and feature speakers from the industry. Space is limited and advance registration is available at: https://www4.gotomeeting.com/register/417041311.

ZigBee: Control your world

uSell Sponsors Video Contest to Showcase the Customer Experience

Videos with the Most Votes on uSell's Facebook Page Can Win up to $500

NEW YORK, March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --uSell, the web's leading site where consumers can find cash offers for their old smartphones and mobile electronics, today announced that the company is sponsoring a video contest to showcase customers' experiences with uSell. Amateur filmmakers are encouraged to be creative with the theme "I Sold, I Made, I Bought," finding fun new ways to communicate how they sold an unused device on uSell, how much they received and how they spent the cash. uSell is accepting video submissions until April 15, 2013. The company will announce the top three winning entries on May 1, 2013 and award cash prizes.

"We're betting our customers can make a better uSell commercial than we can," said uSell founder and CEO Dan Brauser. "We're looking for videos that describe what they sold on uSell - an unused BlackBerry, their retired iPhone 4, etc. - how much they got for it, and, most importantly, what they did with the money they made. We put together a couple of videos that contestants can check out on our Facebook page. We're hoping our videos will inspire others to submit creative stories of their own."

Contestants can create short videos on the "I Sold, I Made, I Bought" theme and upload them at the uSell Facebook page between now and April 15. After April 15, viewers can vote for their favorite videos on Facebook. uSell will award $100 for third place, $250 for second place and $500 for the video that receives the most votes.

The company expects to receive highly creative and humorous takes on customers' uSell experiences, but uSell addresses a serious need: Today, people replace electronic devices faster than ever before, and millions of retired devices languish in desk drawers or end up in already overcrowded landfills. uSell, a re-commerce sector leader, has helped customers collect millions for their retired devices, connecting sellers with trusted buyers and keeping still serviceable devices in circulation for a greener approach to technology.

To learn more about uSell's "I Sold, I Made, I Bought" video contest, please visit the company's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/usellnow/app_259541204181289. To find out more about selling a retired smartphone or mobile device, please visit http://www.uSell.com.
