Hamilton Fraser provides dedicated insurance services to customers throughout the UK and abroad. The company wanted to enable its employees to use mobile apps in the workplace at the same time as it deployed a mix of corporate iOS and BYOD devices.

After evaluating products from Meraki, AirWatch, and Good Technology, Hamilton Fraser selected MobileIron because the platform was the easiest to deploy and manage, and it was also the most scalable solution. In addition, Hamilton Fraser needed to ensure that they were in compliance with the heavily regulated insurance industry and MobileIron delivered the ease of management and control required whilst maintaining the highest levels of security and preserving the end user experience.

Eddie Hooker, CEO at Hamilton Fraser, explains, "Our IT department was experiencing a growing demand from senior management to access sensitive data on their company phones and tablets, and other employees wanted to bring in their own devices, to use in the work environment." Hooker continues, "Having evaluated a number of MDM solutions, we found MobileIron best suited our needs. For our IT team, it's incredibly easy to manage and maintain, and as for our employees, the end user experience remains intact - they don't even know MobileIron is there."   

Working with trusted IT partner AIT, MobileIron's multi-OS platform is supporting a mix of corporate iPhones and iPads, as well as a new BYOD strategy, consisting of multiple operating systems. The ability to monitor and manage any device on any operating system is now available from a single console.

Now the initial deployment is completed, Hamilton Fraser is working with AIT to further develop its mobility strategy, with the goal of maximising the potential of its new mobile platform. "AIT is providing support, helping us get the very best from the solution - running workshops on MobileIron features like Docs@Work, AppConnect, and AppTunnel - as we work towards the widespread use of mobile apps and content in the workplace.

"With the simplicity of its device management and enablement, MobileIron gives us the peace of mind and the stability to easily manage the BYOD trend as it sweeps the organisation," Hooker concluded.

Paltalk Introduces New Low-Cost Long Distance Dialing with Updated Firetalk App for iOS and Android

Calling Cellphone to Cellphone or Landline Worldwide Just Became More affordable

NEW YORK, March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Paltalk, the leading online video communications company, has announced today the release of an updated version of its popular VoIP application, Firetalk. The new version enables long distance dialing using local access numbers, allowing consumers to make long distance phone calls at a fraction of the cost.

Firetalk is an easy-to-use, free VoIP (voice over internet protocol) application that enables Firetalk consumers worldwide to call each other for free. Firetalk enables low- cost calling to other landlines and cell phones worldwide at prices considerably lower than Skype, Google Voice and other VoIP calling providers.

"With the release of the updated Firetalk app, consumers are now able to make international calls without having to worry about incurring additional data charges and they can make calls in areas with low or poor data service," says Jason Katz, Founder and CEO of Paltalk. "This is a significant win for the consumer," says Katz. 

In the U.S. cellular market, carriers used to offer consumers unlimited data plans and limited minutes. Recently, the carriers have changed their policies and are now offering unlimited minutes and tiered data plans. VoIP applications including Firetalk rely heavily on the use of data to connect calls and for those consumers who have limited data plans; the use of VoIP applications has become prohibitive.

Firetalk's new Local Access Number Dialing is the solution to this conundrum for consumers because the app will allow users to dial U.S. based phone numbers to connect to any international destination. The process is seamless, just simply dial an international phone number, a local call is placed over the user's GSM carrier to a U.S. phone number and the call is then routed to the international number dialed.

Firetalk Local Access Number Dialing updated application offers consumers a number of advantages including: minimizing the use of their cellular data plan and utilizing the traditional minute plans, allowing consumers to make low cost international calls even when they have low or poor data connections. 

To see just how much consumers can save with the updated app that includes the Firetalk Access Number Dialing, take a look at the sample country rates below:

                          Skype  Firetalk

    United Kingdom Mobile 25c    9c

    Germany               2.3c   1c

    USA                   2.3c  1c

    India                 9.2c  2c

    Australia Mobile      20c   11c

    Saudi Arabia          18c   11c
*Firetalk does not charge users a connection fee. This feature is only available to U.S. Firetalk users.

Dewarren Moses of Mo Dogg Records Embraces Upbeat, Energetic Sound With New CD "Feel It"

Singer's third CD builds on success of earlier releases, continues to refine his unique style

NEW YORK, March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With "Feel It," Dewarren Moses has captured a bright and energetic dance-inspired sound that is certain to get music fans' blood pumping. Reviewers have typically compared the North Carolina native to 90s R&B groups such as Boys II Men or K-Ci & JoJo. The comparisons are apt, as Moses's vocal style perfectly communicates his passion and intensity. "Feel It" breaks new ground for the artist, as he's upped the tempo while maintaining his honest, soulful delivery. The CD will be available for purchase on CD Baby, (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/dewarrenmoses2), iTunes, Amazon mp3, Google Play, 24-7, 7digital, GreatindieMusic, Shazam and Tradebit.

(Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130319/PH78916)

Like his previous two CDs, "Feel It" is independently produced under the Mo Dogg label, which Moses launched in 1998. A radio edit and a dance remix by Paul Snook comprise the two tracks on the CD. Managing his own label gives Moses plenty of latitude to follow his inspirations as a singer/songwriter. He enjoys the freedom to harness his creative energies and take them as far as he can. For Moses, producing new music is still about the craft, as well as connecting with his fans.

"I want to get people excited about the new album," said Moses. "I've worked harder than I ever have and really put my heart into these new songs. My goal is always to write and perform music that brings people together in a positive way. If music is the universal language, then I want my message to be one of love and happiness. 'Feel It' is all about positive energy and happiness, and I expect to make lots of new fans once the CD gets some airplay."

Despite being an independent artist in a world of commercialized music, Moses is no stranger to success. His previous CDs, "4" and "Romance," both garnered positive reviews within the industry and much buzz from listeners. Radio station FM 102X named "Blame It on the Boogie," one of the singles from "Romance," song of the day. Another reviewer remarked that "Romance" was near-perfect mood music. Moses's first producer when he arrived in New York was Ollie Cotton, who also worked with famous beat boxer and rapper Doug E Fresh.

Moses has no plans to slacken his creative output. "I'm always creating or waiting for the next bit of inspiration that will become a new song," remarked the songwriter. "Ever since I walked into that recording studio and announced myself as a singer, I know that I have been following my path in life, and that's a blessing."

In the interest of reaching out to as many fans as possible, Moses is active on the major social networks:

The Road to Secure Data on Mobile Devices

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Rick Wielopolski, President of PerSysTek, LLC, is extremely passionate about the security of information on mobile devices, especially when it comes to carrying medical, financial, and other personal electronic records on a smartphone or tablet. After experiencing the lack of security of these records on his phone, he made it his personal goal to develop a unique method for providing total safety of all important electronic records, regardless of the type of file, while maintaining portability and immediate accessibility.

In 2012, Rick embarked on a personal journey to ensure that anyone with a mobile device could feel secure about storing private and sensitive information on their phones or tablets. He believes it doesn't matter if you're storing lab results, x-rays, insurance information, bank account details, or passwords. This information must be kept private to protect a person's data and identity and perhaps even save a life, or a life savings.

After going down the path of creating a physical device prototype to store Personal Health Records (PHRs), Rick realized that the better solution would be to create a software based, platform independent solution.  To achieve this, Rick enlisted the services of Grand Rapids, Michigan-based company Open Systems Technologies (OST).  "They were a perfect fit," stated Wielopolski, "because of their background in hardware, software, and system development. They were able to field an entire team with varying skill sets to complete the product solution."

It was only a matter of months from the time that Rick started working with OST until the launch of the first version of the application, the RecordVault(TM), which is now available for all Android devices.  "Starting with Android was the best choice, since there are more Android devices than any other mobile device on the market. Also, for the first time ever, Android devices were hacked more than PCs last quarter," states Wielopolski. "It just made sense!"

Once the application was nearing completion, Rick reached out to ManoByte, a social media marketing agency in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to help launch and promote the application. Within weeks, ManoByte was able to "get the ball rolling," as Rick puts it. The initial launch garnered the attention of many well-known media outlets, such Crain's Detroit Business, Android Headlines, and Reuters. During the start of their social media campaign, this launch generated over 200,000 impressions, gaining visibility by many leaders within the Android social community.

Rick and his team are at it again! More free features have been completed at OST and RecordVault R1.2 was released on March 13, 2013.  What's next? Rick is committed to the release of the RecordVault(TM) for iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) as quickly as possible.

Huawei Unveils an Innovative All Optical Switching Network

ANAHEIM, Calif., March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, unveiled a ground-breaking All-Optical Switching Network architecture supporting any network topology, at the OFC/NFOEC 2013 event in Anaheim, Calif. All-optical transmission and switching were demonstrated at the event using prototypes based on this new architecture and technology.

All-Optical Switching Network technology offers cost-effective and energy-efficient transport based on all-optical switching, by eliminating the need for Optical-Electrical-Optical (OEO) conversion or electrical switching. Huawei solves the industry-wide challenge of switching multi-dimensional and multi-wavelength optical bursts through use of innovative Optical Time Slot Interchange (OTSI) technology. This enables any-topology, all-optical contention-less networking. Additionally, Huawei demonstrated high-speed, real-time 100 Gbit/s optical burst transceiving  for the first time in the industry. Furthermore, the All-Optical Switching Network architecture is compatible with traditional Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) and Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) networks.

Huawei's continuous exploration in the field of all-optical switching has yielded an Optical Burst Transport Network (OBTN) prototype and a Petabit Photonic Cross-Connect (PPXC) prototype showcased at earlier OFC/NFOEC events. This new All-Optical Switching Network architecture makes further advances in any-topology networking and coherent transmission for optical bursts.

Huawei is dedicated to customer-centric innovation and delivering industry-leading transport network solutions, helping operators build future-ready optical networks.

Building Product Manufacturers' Needs Now Met by New iPad Multimedia Product Presentations from Ron Blank & Associates (RBA)

SAN ANTONIO, March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ron Blank & Associates (RBA) is pleased to announce that it has launched several new services for building product manufacturers. RBA is the largest provider of continuing education for architects and engineers in North America. The company's specification experts make face to face product presentations to the most influential A&E firms in the country.

RBA has developed multimedia product presentations that are customized for the iPad. The proprietary Apps are used when RBA Specification Consultants visit an architecture firm. Architects and specification writers are guided through a multimedia presentation that introduces them to new building products. The customized structure of the apps allow RBA's Specification Consultants to navigate through content based upon the needs, knowledge level, and interest of the various design professionals who will be visited on a given day.

"We bridge the gap between architects and product manufacturers. Product reps are too busy calling on customers and dealers. They don't have time to visit architects.  Architects don't write purchase orders, they write specifications. We've been getting building products specified for twenty-eight years," stated Ron Blank, Founder of RBA.

Total U.S. construction starts for 2013 are projected to rise 6%. Low interest rates and an increase in green building projects should help the construction industry. However, the slow economy, increased competition, and rising insurance costs offer product manufacturers plenty of challenges.

Education is one of the most significant drivers in product specification.  Because A&E professionals must maintain ongoing education requirements, continuing education is an effective way for manufacturer's to diversify their marketing strategy.  RBA has developed new education tools to meet today's specification challenges.

Providing continuing education gives manufacturers an opportunity to develop a competitive advantage by demonstrating their product expertise, industry leadership, and technical advantages. Due to the broad range of technologies and products involved in any project, architects and designers must be generalists. They don't have the time to develop the in-depth knowledge that manufacturers possess.

Implementing various delivery methods for continuing education content is essential since the preferred methodology, learning pace, and time availability varies with individual design professionals. RBA develops online continuing education courses that are available to design professionals 24/7 as well as online webinars that are delivered at specific times. Face to face courses are also available, which can be delivered to A&E firms and allow for direct interaction and building relationships.

All of these course delivery methods can employ text, images, graphics, animations, and video; the right combination allows for an engaging and conducive learning experience. Building product manufacturers interested in learning more about continuing education courses can visit http://www.ronblank.com.

Ron Blank & Associates is the nation's leading provider of AIA continuing education for design professionals, with over 100,000 subscribers. Ron Blank & Associates is the only AIA education provider to have won the AIA/CES Award For Excellence two times. Ron Blank & Associates provides Architectural Specification services for the nation's leading product manufacturers.

Like all ClearPath operating environments, OS 2200 Release 14.0 comprises a stack of software products - more than 111 - integrated and tested as a unit. This integration enables clients to migrate applications transparently from one release to another, with no need to change operating procedures or to recompile. ClearPath clients expressly suggested 67 of the 146 feature updates in the new release.

OS 2200 Release 14.0 delivers significant benefits in three key areas:

    --  Application Modernization. The new release includes the ClearPath
        ePortal for OS 2200 specialty partition - a special processing component
        that enables users to quickly Web-enable enterprise applications without
        changing the applications themselves. This enhanced capability enables
        integration of Apple, Microsoft Windows 8, Android and BlackBerry mobile
        devices so that mobile users can access ClearPath applications through
        familiar interfaces. The new release also supports the latest versions
        of Java 5, 6 and 7 so developers can either stay with a preferred
        version of Java or move applications to a new one. Also, OS 2200 Release
        14.0 includes new features for the Eclipse integrated development
        environment, making it easier to speed up and automate development of
        applications in a service-oriented architecture (SOA).
    --  Data Center Transformation. Key enhancements in OS 2200 Release 14.0 are
        designed to help clients reduce operating expenses and improve service
        through increased automation and higher levels of solution availability.
        For example, a new release of Unisys Operations Sentinel - which enables
        automated, unified management of heterogeneous systems in a data center
        - includes a simplified Web interface that allows system administrators
        to use a tablet to view the status of all managed devices.
    --  Security. New capabilities in OS 2200 Release 14.0 build on the
        industry-leading security the OS 2200 environment delivers. The new
        release supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.2,
        for enhanced security in Internet communications. The protocol helps
        organizations defend against data loss. Dynamic updating of Secure
        Sockets Layer (SSL)/TLS certificates provides greater uptime and easier
        security administration. The new release includes additional encryption
        capabilities and protection against unprivileged users, and also
        provides cpFTP, a ClearPath File Transfer Protocol function that enables
        mandatory encryption of all file transfers.
ClearPath Dorado 4200 Platforms Include XPC-L3 Integration
The ClearPath Dorado 4200 can now be integrated with the Extended Processing Complex Locking (XPC-L3) enterprise clustering solution. This database record locking innovation allows up to four host systems running OS 2200 to access a shared database concurrently - even down to the same record. It synchronizes database access so records are always accurately updated, simplifying both day-to-day operations and disaster recovery.

The Dorado 4200 systems, which are based on Intel(®) Xeon(®) Family processors, can participate in multi-host clusters with other Intel processor-based Dorado systems or with Dorado systems based on Unisys-developed processor technology. Whether in a heterogeneous or homogenous processor environment, the XPC-L3 complex gives the ClearPath Dorado 4200 an enriched level of availability, efficiency and integrity in high-performance transaction processing that few other mid-range systems can attain.

Motorola Mobility Announces Approval of SecureMedia® for UltraViolet(TM) Content Protection

Allowing consumers to access their UltraViolet libraries of movies and TV shows, securely and conveniently, at home and on the go

LONDON, March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- TV Connect 2013 -- Motorola Mobility'sSecureMedia® content protection has been approved by the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem LLC(DECE) for streaming UltraViolet(TM) content. Now, service providers using SecureMedia can offer subscribers ready access to their UltraViolet digital entertainment collections anytime, anywhere and on any device.

With more than 11 million consumer accounts, UltraViolet is the home entertainment industry standard for purchasing, collecting and sharing content in the cloud. It lets consumers store digital copies of their favorite movies and TV shows for viewing at home and on the go. SecureMedia is extending that experience to consumers' favorite connected devices by giving service providers a way to encrypt and process UltraViolet content in compliance with DECE's specifications for streaming content protection.

DECE is a cross-industry consortium of top Hollywood studios, global device brands, major technology companies, leading retailers, and video service providers. UltraViolet is currently available in the US, UK and Canada and its adoption continues to broaden internationally, with Australia, New Zealand and Ireland scheduled for UltraViolet consumer launches in the coming months, and France and Germany anticipated later in 2013.

"More than ever, consumers want access to all their content--from MVPD services to their UltraViolet libraries--on all their devices," said John Burke, senior vice president and general manager, Converged Solutions, Motorola Mobility. "Motorola combines our deep pedigree in mobile security with a continued commitment to content protection across the multiscreen ecosystem. With support for UltraViolet streaming, SecureMedia is enabling service providers to meet consumer demand for convenient access to their UltraViolet collections, while expanding the secure distribution of studio content."

Motorola Mobility's Fourth Annual Media Engagement Barometer, released this week, reveals how mobile devices are shifting global media consumption.

SecureMedia is the advanced content security component of Motorola's Medios+ platform for multi-screen video distribution. The multi award-winning solution has been deployed by service providers around the world and is approved by all major Hollywood studios for content security.

"Motorola is a valued DECE member that is lending its DRM and security expertise to help drive the UltraViolet platform forward," said Mark Teitell, General Manager, DECE. "Its content security solution, SecureMedia, has been approved by the consortium, allowing service providers to stream the more than 8,700 UltraViolet-enabled titles to consumers securely across a wide range of connected devices."

TV Connect 2013: Motorola Mobility's GT-3 MBR Transcoder Creates High Quality Viewing Experiences to Any Device

Motorola GT-3 brings unprecedented channel density for TV service providers; record-breaking transcoder supports three gigapixels per second of processing, which equates to the transcoding of nearly 50 HD channels simultaneously

LONDON, March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- TV Connect 2013 -- Motorola Mobility is bringing its record-breaking transcoder to the UK for the first time. Showing at TV Connect, London Olympia, 19 - 21( )March 2013, the Motorola GT-3 will be on display throughout the three-day event at Motorola's booth #99.

Motorola Mobility's GT-3 Multiple Bit Rate (MBR) Transcoder brings rich multi-screen video quality and channel density to service providers. It is the first device to be capable of processing three billion pixels of video content per second, dramatically exceeding traditional server-based MBR transcoders. Its launch represents an unrivalled opportunity for service providers to provide the best possible content viewing experience to any device, over managed and unmanaged networks.

Key Benefits for Service Providers

    --  First, it enables a broader selection of video data rates and
        resolutions to match the dynamic bandwidth of unmanaged networks
    --  Second, its efficiency in video compression can provide higher-quality
        video using the same amount of bandwidth, or the same video quality at
        much lower bitrates--a windfall for bandwidth-constrained networks
    --  Finally, from full HDTV at 1080p for 'main' TVs down to lower resolution
        formats for smaller mobile devices, the Motorola GT-3 offers the highest
        channel density available for streaming video whilst saving valuable
        equipment space and power
The Motorola GT-3 uses the latest silicon technology and Motorola's custom video compression algorithms to enable rich, multi-screen HD and SD everywhere experiences from a 1RU, energy-efficient device. It represents the latest, most innovative way for service providers to provide the kind of rewarding HD, multi-screen, multi-room experiences that consumers crave. Additional benefits include ad insertion support and system-level redundancy for 24x7 availability.

As a result, subscribers benefit from better experiences on TVs, PCs, tablets and smartphones.

According to Motorola Mobility's Fourth Annual Media Engagement Barometer, released this week, UK consumers are embracing the multiscreen home - watching content on multiple screens in different rooms. The living room TV set is still the epicenter of home content experiences - 75 per cent of Brits watch broadcast TV in the Living room. 38% are watching VOD services in the main bedroom (compared to 24% who do so globally). Tablets and smartphones are driving many of these multiscreen, multi-room behaviors. Just over 40 per cent are using a tablet or smartphone to watch content in the bedroom, while 66 per cent and 55 per cent are using tablets and smartphones in the living room respectively.

Steve McCaffery, VP and General Manager, EMEA for Motorola Mobility's Home business, said: "Consumer demand for multi-screen viewing experiences is growing as we've seen this week in our own research. We've introduced the GT-3 to allow service providers to capitalize on this demand quickly and in an energy-efficient way, allowing consumption of time-shift, live HD broadcasts and DVR recorded media anywhere in the home whilst lowering operation costs, reducing rack-space and reducing carbon footprint. For bandwidth constrained operators, this means that they can go to market with rich multi-screen services without costly network upgrades."

The GT-3 by the Numbers:

    --  THREE - three billion pixels of video content per second, blowing away
        traditional server-based MBR transcoders
    --  FIFTY - processing up to three billion pixels of video content every
        second is equivalent to nearly 50 full resolution HD programs - setting
        a new industry standard
    --  SIX - more than six times the density of legacy server-based MBR
        solutions and dramatic improvements over ABR hardware solutions, which
        means the same transcoding capability now fits into a much leaner and
        more efficient unit, requiring fewer transcoders to meet the demands of
        today's multi-screen HD and future higher-resolution content
        applications
    --  TWENTY-FOUR and SIXTEEN - support for up to 24 inputs and up to 16
        output streams per input program, for flexible support of more video
        display devices
    --  BOTTOM LINE - higher processing performance and greater density equals
        energy efficiency and cost savings for service providers
Motorola has a long history of firsts in digital video--including digital TV and HD video services. With GT-3, Motorola is advancing the standard for video compression and leading the way for high-resolution multi-screen experiences.

GT-3 and Motorola Medios+
The GT-3 is the new network component that forming part of the Motorola Medios+ Platform, which is Motorola's modular end-to-end platform for delivering next generation multi-screen experiences; from the cloud, over any network to the home and the individual.

The GT-3 is responsible for taking live TV content and creating the multiple versions of the content required for the various screen sizes and ABR streaming, as delivered by Motorola SecureMedia® HLS+ and ABR component. It combines with Motorola's leading technologies - including nDVR and time-shift TV to produce seamless multi-screen experiences across tables, laptops and the main TV.

Hillcrest Labs Brings Motion Control to Intel's New Set-Top Box Reference Kit

- Hillcrest's Freespace® software integrated into Intel® Media Server Reference Design (MSRD) for Point-and-Click Control for TV -

ROCKVILLE, Md., March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hillcrest Labs today announced that Intel's newest reference design kit for IPTV set-top boxes (STBs) and media servers will use Hillcrest's patented Freespace® in-air pointing and motion control technology. With the Freespace Motion Engine(TM) software embedded on the Intel® Media Server Reference Design (MSRD) kit and controlled by a handheld remote control, TV operators can provide subscribers the ability to control TV with mouse-like navigation, and point-and-click simplicity.

"Computers and smartphones have used motion-based, point-and-click interfaces for years because they are the most efficient way to navigate large volumes of content," said Chad Lucien, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Hillcrest Labs. "Intel has seized onto this idea for TV, and is now driving innovation for serving TV service providers. We're extremely proud that Intel has selected the Freespace MotionEngine for use in its new set-top box reference kits."

"Hillcrest is a leader in motion-based TV software and products," said Ran Senderovitz, general manager, Service Provider Division Marketing at Intel. "Operators are seeking better and innovative ways to help consumers find and navigate shows and applications. With Freespace, we're creating an out-of-the box, motion-ready reference solution for operators and OEMs globally."

Intel MSRD

Intel's new MSRD is a design kit for OEMs and system integrators that allows them to quickly develop Intel-based set-top boxes and media servers and is based on the Intel® Atom(TM) processor CE5300. This dual core Atom-based SOC supports hyperthreading, virtualization, an advanced 3D/2D graphics engine, integrated power management, and a H.264 B-picture hardware encoder. Intel has pre-integrated components such as a media engine, broadcast stacks, virtualization, and motion control technology to reduce validation testing for OEMs and to accelerate time to market. The MSRD will be available in April 2013 from Intel and through its distribution partner Videon Central. The MSRD is being showcased at TV Connect 2013 in London at Intel's booth number 39.

Freespace Attributes

Hillcrest's Freespace MotionEngine software can be added to a wide range of CE devices, including: set-top boxes, Smart TVs, remote controls, game controllers, mobile handsets, PC peripherals, and more. Hillcrest's Freespace software is currently used across dozens of Smart TVs models from LG and TCL, and Roku streaming players. Other companies that have licensed Freespace for use in their products include: Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., Universal Electronics (UEI), SMK Electronics, Atmel, Logitech, and more. Hillcrest has a worldwide intellectual property portfolio that includes over 80 granted and 200 filed patents. Unique attributes of Freespace include:

    --  High Resolution Pointer Accuracy: Freespace enables a highly precise
        pointing remote control which allows users to select icons and images,
        small and large, on a high-resolution screen easily.
    --  Advanced Motion Controls: Intuitive motion controls enable
        high-performance motion gaming and replicate the swipes, gestures, and
        drag-and drop functions which have made devices such as smartphones and
        tablets easy to use.
    --  Orientation Compensation: Regardless of the orientation of the remote in
        space (e.g. pointing at the ground, turned sideways, etc.), Freespace
        technology generates intuitive cursor motions on the screen from any
        position-- standing, sitting or reclining.
    --  Intelligent Motion Stabilization: Hillcrest's technology can distinguish
        between intentional and unintentional movement, including natural hand
        tremors and button clicks. This means the remote control accurately and
        immediately responds to the end user's actions.
    --  No Line-of-Sight: Unlike conventional infrared devices and optical
        motion-sensing devices, Freespace remotes uses RF (radio frequency)
        technology and inertial motion sensors, so users do not need to point
        directly at the computer or TV screen. This gives users greater freedom
        to move around the living room.

Bluechiip has developed a wireless tracking solution for the healthcare and life science, security, defence and manufacturing industries which represents a generational change from current methods such as labels (hand-written and pre-printed), barcodes (linear and 2D) and microelectronic integrated circuit (IC)-based RFID (Radio Frequency Identification).

The unique tag is based on MEMS technology and contains no electronics. The tag can either be embedded or manufactured into a storage product, such as vials or bags. Easy identification, along with any associated information from the tag such as temperature can be detected by a reader, which can also sense the temperature of the tagged items.  The traditional identification technologies have significant limitations. Whereas a barcode requires a visible tag or line-of-sight optical scan, bluechiip(®) technology does not.  Unlike labels, barcodes and RFID, the bluechiip(®) technology can sense the temperature of each item a tag is attached to, or embedded in.

The bluechiip(®) technology has initial applications in the healthcare industry particularly those businesses which require cryogenic storage facilities (biobanks and biorepositories). bluechiip(®) offers the only technology that enables accurate and reliable tracking of products including stem cells, cord blood, and other biospecimens.  In addition to functioning in extreme temperatures, the bluechiip(®) tracking solution can survive autoclaving, gamma irradiation sterilization, humidification, centrifuging, cryogenic storage and frosting.

The bluechiip(®) technology has other healthcare applications in pathology, clinical trials and forensics. Several other key markets outside of healthcare include cold-chain logistics/supply chain, security/defence, industrial/manufacturing and aerospace/aviation.

Grupo Nelson sells out 'GLO' at product launch

Thomas Nelson imprint releases Spanish version of interactive digital Bible

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In a revolutionary leap into the digital publishing world, last week Grupo Nelson launched the Spanish version of "GLO," an interactive Bible tool.  Almost immediately, the product sold out, a first for the Thomas Nelson Spanish imprint.  A second printing of the boxed product is already underway to secure replenishment. 

In partnership with Immersion Digital--creators of "GLO"--Grupo Nelson published the only digital all-in-one Scriptural guide for the Spanish market.  In addition to being a Bible and an atlas, "GLO" features historical articles and a collection of high-definition photos, virtual tours, videos and documentaries for readers who want to plunge deeper into God's Word.

In 2010, Zondervan released the English version of "GLO" which later received the Bible of the Year award by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA).  This was the first interactive digital Bible to ever win in this category.

"I am very pleased that we were able to partner with Immersion Digital to bring 'GLO' to a whole new audience of Bible engagers," said vice president and publisher of Grupo Nelson, Larry Downs.  "We believe that we now have a platform to reach multiple generations with the truth of God's Word as we bring it to life with the different types of interactive medias."

The "GLO" Bible contains more than 7,500 encyclopedia articles, 2,300 high-resolution photos, approximately 500 virtual tours visiting ancient Biblical sites, 140 maps that guide you through the Holy Land and much more.  "GLO" also offers five Biblical translations for the reader to choose from.  With a single click, texts, photos or videos can be posted and shared via social media.   

"Zondervan took a smart, strategic risk when they originally launched the English version of 'GLO' in 2010," said Mark Schoenwald, President and CEO of HarperCollins Christian Publishing.  HarperCollins Christian Publishing is comprised of both the Thomas Nelson and Zondervan publishing groups.  "The company discovered a consumer need.  Grupo Nelson realized that the Spanish Bible market also had shown a digital shift and partnering with Immersion Digital ensured that we would be the first to meet the consumer demand.  I am proud of this team for their execution of the Spanish 'GLO' launch."

Nelson Saba, CEO of Immersion Digital commented, "Two entire generations have been born in a digital world and favor digital media over any other...We really felt that the time was right to create a digital Bible such as 'GLO,' designed for them, that would connect with this generation...[GLO] is the Bible re-imagined for a digital world."   

The original launch for Spanish "GLO" is for Personal Computers using a Windows based system.  In the following months, "GLO" will be available for Mac and iOS devices.

SAN DIEGO, March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Academy of Neurology (AAN), the world's largest association of neurologists who treat brain injuries such as concussion, has launched a new app called "Concussion QuickCheck",  to help coaches, athletic trainers, parents and athletes quickly evaluate if someone may have a concussion and needs to see a licensed health care provider, such as a neurologist, who is specialized in concussion.

The app, which is available for iPad, IOS (Apple), Android, and mobile, was developed in partnership with the Academy's updated guideline for diagnosing and evaluating sports concussion. The announcement of the new app was made at the Academy's Annual Meeting in San Diego today in conjunction with the release of the updated sports concussion guideline.

Key information and tools in the "Concussion Quick Check" app include:

    --  Common signs of concussion
    --  Symptoms of concussion
    --  Things the athlete may tell you
    --  What to do if an athlete has a head injury during a game
    --  What to do if it appears the athlete has a concussion
    --  When an athlete should return to the game
    --  Help finding a neurologist near you (GPS capability)
    --  Help finding state laws on concussion
    --  More about the Academy's new guideline for diagnosing, treating and

"The American Academy of Neurology, the world's largest association of neurologists, is the trusted authority in managing sports concussion," said Christopher C. Giza, MD, with the David Geffen School of Medicine and Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA and a member of the American Academy of Neurology, who helped develop the content for the Concussion Quick Check app. "We hope this easy-to-access tool will help coaches, athletic trainers, parents and athletes alike to quickly determine if an athlete shows signs of concussion and needs to see a licensed health care professional trained in managing concussion, such as a neurologist. It's a perfect tool to have on your iPad or smart phone when coaching or watching a game from the sidelines."
