New Jenn-Air® Ventilation System:  From Bold To Invisible In Seconds

BENTON HARBOR, Mich., March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Luxury appliance maker Jenn-Air has introduced a dramatically different cooking ventilation system that serves as an impressive design focal point when in use and virtually disappears when not powerfully and quietly clearing the air. Individually hand-crafted of stainless steel and glass, the telescoping Jenn-Air® Accolade(TM) ventilation system is arc-shaped, with a curved, sculptural profile designed to place ventilation power even closer to the cooking source than traditional systems.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090501/DE06604LOGO-b)

This newest offering is the latest in a long series of Jenn-Air® ventilation innovations spanning five decades. They include the first downdraft cooktop; a black glass and stainless steel "perimetric" system that hangs on the wall like a flat screen TV; and the first duct-free downdraft ventilation that filters and recirculates air, requiring no ducting to the outside.

"Because it's both beautiful and fully retractable, the Accolade(TM) system offers the best of both worlds in luxury kitchen design," notes Juliet Johnson, manager of brand experience for Jenn-Air. "When it's doing its job it makes a powerful design statement, but when it's not needed it disappears, opening up kitchen sight lines and keeping things sleek and uncluttered."

"Seeing it rise or disappear at the touch of a button invariably results in 'oohs' and 'ahs' from those who experience it," she adds. "But given its striking appearance, it will likely stay in the raised position in many kitchens."

The 36" Accolade(TM) system is equipped with a high performance, pressure stabilizing in-line blower system that removes cooking smoke at a rate of up to 1,200 cubic feet per minute (CFM). The inline blower system minimizes operating sounds to keep things quiet in the kitchen. High flow speed at the edge of the hood helps to prevent smoke from escaping into the kitchen, even at low motor levels.

The Accolade(TM) ventilation system can be engaged either by pressing a button on the system itself or using the provided remote control.  Its sleek, slim-profile design is enhanced with ambient lighting, concealed controls and discreet LED lighting that indicates fan speed and provides an alert when filters require cleaning.

The system also provides a host of practical features, including dishwasher-safe mesh filters, a magnetic filter attachment, four fan speeds, three duct positions, auto shutoff when retracted, and a timer for automatically turning off the blower. 

The Accolade(TM) system is now available at select Jenn-Air retailers nationwide.

About Jenn-Air: 

Since the introduction of the first self-ventilated cooktop in 1961 and downdraft ventilated range in 1965, Jenn-Air brand has consistently grown its reputation as a technology and design innovator.  Its selection of style options includes two distinct stainless steel collections and a cutting-edge Floating Glass finish in black or white.  From downdraft cooktops, wall ovens and professional style ranges to dishwashers, refrigerators and such entertaining essentials as warming drawers, built-in ice machines and wine cellars, Jenn-Air brand offers a complete line of major kitchen appliances.

In addition, AT&T is offering new Mobile Share - Data plans for businesses and consumers and new Business Pooled Nation for Data plans for business customers.

"Our expanded Mobile Share plans make it even easier for business customers to choose a data option that's right for them," said Joe Lueckenhoff, AT&T Senior Vice President, Business Product Management, "whether it's a large business wanting to better connect with employees, or a small business owner needing a data-only plan."

Details on Expanded Options

If you are using a shared data plan without a Smartphone(s) on the account or you do not have all required elements of the plan, AT&T reserves the right to place the non-complying device(s) on an appropriate plan(s). If you exceed the amount of data in your plan during your billing period, an additional 1GB is automatically provided as specified in your rate plan. Overage charges are billed to the primary line. All data allowances, including overages, must be used in the billing period in which the allowance is provided or they will be forfeited. Authorized users on the account may temporarily suspend data access for each device using the Mobile Share Plan. Data access will be restored at the beginning of the next billing cycle. Monthly charges, however, will continue to apply. Tethering and mobile hotspot use is permitted with up to five (5) simultaneous devices.

If you exceed the amount of data in your plan during your billing period, an additional 1GB is automatically provided as specified in your rate plan. Overage charges are billed to the primary line. All data allowances, including overages, must be used in the billing period in which the allowance is provided or they will be forfeited. Authorized users on the account may temporarily suspend data access for each device using the Mobile Share - Data Plan. Data access will be restored at the beginning of the next billing cycle. Monthly charges, however, will continue to apply. Designated Data Devices that are capable of accessing corporate email, intranet sites and/or other business applications may do so for no additional monthly access charge. Additional monthly charge per device not eligible for discounts. Domestic use only. Activation fee may apply. Additional deposits and other restrictions may apply. See rate plan brochure for complete details.

Business Pooled Nation for Data: Available only to customers with a qualified AT&T business agreement for wireless services ("Business Agreement") and their respective Corporate Responsibility Users ("CRUs"). Within a single Billing Account Number ("BAN"), CRUs activated on separate Business Pooled Nation for Data Plans are combined to create a "Data Pool." Every billing cycle, each CRU first uses his or her plan's included domestic data usage ("Included Usage"). If a CRU does not use all his or her Included Usage, it creates an underage in the amount of the unused KB of data usage ("Under Usage"). If a CRU uses more than his or her Included Usage, it creates an overage in the amount of the excess KB of data usage ("Over Usage"). The Data Pool's Under Usage amounts for each CRU and Over Usage amounts for each CRU are then aggregated respectively and the totals are compared. If the aggregate Under Usage amount exceeds the aggregate Over Usage amount, then the difference is allocated among each CRU in the Data Pool with Over Usage, resulting in a credit on the invoice equal to the amount of each such CRU's additional data usage charges. Any excess Under Usage will be forfeited. If the aggregate Over Usage amount exceeds the aggregate Under Usage amount, then the ratio of Under Usage to Over Usage is applied equally to the data usage of each CRU in the Data Pool with Over Usage, resulting in a credit on the invoice against each such CRU's corresponding additional data usage charges to partially offset such charges. For example, if a Data Pool has 900 Under Usage KB and 1000 Over Usage KB (which means a ratio of 90%), then each CRU with Over Usage will receive a bill credit equal to 90% of his or her additional data usage charges. CRUs changing price points or migrating Business Pooled Nation for Data plans during a bill cycle may result in one-time prorations or other minor impacts to the credit calculation. Customer may have more than one Data Pool within a Foundation Account Number; however, CRUs in one Data Pool cannot take advantage of another Data Pool's Under Usage, and each CRU can only participate in one Data Pool at a time.

Element Six and the University of Warwick Announce Development of New Boron-Doped Synthetic Diamond Electrode for Extreme Electroanalysis Sensing Applications

Material Available to Commercial Partners for Enhanced Sensing Applications

PHILADELPHIA, March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- AT PITTCON 2013,Element Six, the world leader in synthetic diamond supermaterials and member of the De Beers Group of Companies, today announced that it has engineered DIAFILM EA (Electroanalysis grade) in collaboration with The University of Warwick. The free-standing, solid boron doped microwave chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond electrode is expected to transform sensing technologies, allowing the development of next generation advanced electroanalysis sensing systems to benefit the biomedical, environmental, food, pharmaceutical, and oil and gas industries.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130318/LA78525LOGO-b)

DIAFILM EA benefits from being chemically inert and stable, overcoming long-term stability issues in the harshest of environments such as in corrosive and elevated temperature and pressure operations. In many of the most demanding of electroanalysis applications, DIAFILM EA has the ability to perform thousands of cycles, whereas other electrode materials only survive a single use. This is combined with high phase purity and optimum levels of conductivity, enabling the highest level of sensitivity, selectivity and responsiveness. 

With the introduction of the new DIAFILM EA, Element Six is now actively collaborating with commercial partners to enhance electrochemical sensing applications leveraging the proven performance of this next generation sensing material. With the widest solvent window of any electrode material, and the lowest background current and capacitance, DIAFILM EA is expected to transform the business economics of electroanalytical sensing systems and technologies.

"For the past decade or so, thin-film boron doped diamond electrodes have not delivered on their technical promise, as the industry has struggled to combine the necessary level of conductivity with the required phase purity," said Adrian Wilson, head of technologies at Element Six. "We have manufactured a grade of boron doped CVD diamond with the ideal optimal conductivity, combined with 100 percent phase purity to meet this market need. Given its unique properties, DIAFILM EA will advance tomorrow's sensing systems."

"The research and development of synthetic diamond as an electrode material has exposed its potential to transform the future of sensing technologies," said Julie MacPherson, professor, the University of Warwick. "Element Six's CVD diamond is an exciting material to work with, and one we've enjoyed working with throughout our six-year research collaboration with the company."

The synthetic diamond technical work was completed by the Element Six R&D team based at Ascot in the United Kingdom, and is a result of more than 15 years of research and development. Electrochemical characterization testing of DIAFILM EA was carried out by the Electrochemistry and Interfaces Group in the Department of Chemistry, at the University of Warwick.

Latino Coalition and Biz2Credit Launch World's Largest Hispanic Online Platform Providing Access to Small Business Financing

NEW YORK, March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Biz2Credit, the #1 online credit resource for small businesses, and The Latino Coalition (http://www.thelatinocoalition.com) today announced a partnership in which Biz2Credit will be the go-to financing resource for the Coalition's small business members. 

During the past decade, Latino-owned businesses have become the fastest growing sectors of the economy.   Meanwhile, in the past few years, it has been particularly difficult for minority-owned businesses to secure capital for startup businesses. 

"Latinos are a rising power in the U.S. economy and they are starting businesses in record numbers.  As the Baby Boomers approach retirement, they frequently are selling their companies to minority owners who infuse vibrancy into stagnant businesses," said Rohit Arora, co-founder and CEO of Biz2Credit.   "There are many loan programs established specifically to help Latino entrepreneurs get up and running.  Biz2Credit can connect Latinos with funding options that they might not know existed."

Since 2007, Biz2Credit has arranged funding for tens of thousands of small businesses, including hundreds of Latino-owned businesses in New York, New Jersey, Texas, California, and Florida, among other places.  Biz2Credit is rapidly approaching the $1 billion mark in small business financing.

"Through our partnership, small business owners who are part of The Latino Coalition will be able to upload their documents on Biz2Credit's system, and receive one free month of loan consultation from one of our loan specialists who can help walk them through the process,"  added Arora, one of the country's leading experts in small business finance.  "Our platform streamlines the credit decision-making process by fully automated its loan application process.  This will save busy entrepreneurs time and frustration that they otherwise would encounter in seeking the money needed to start and grow their businesses."

"The Latino Coalition partnered with Biz2Credit because we believe that small business owners will benefit from the speed and ease of use of the online platform," said Hector Barreto, Chairman at The Latino Coalition.  "Biz2Credit removes the intimidation factor and language barriers from the small business loan process by making it simpler and easier through the use of technology.  By partnering with Biz2Credit, we hope to enable more of our members to pursue the American Dream of business ownership."

About The Latino Coalition
The Latino Coalition (TLC) was founded in 1995 by a group of Hispanic business owners from across the country to research and develop policies relevant to Latinos.  TLC is a non-profit nationwide organization with offices in Southern California, Washington, DC, and Mexico.  TLC addresses policy issues that directly affect the well-being of Hispanics in the United States.  TLC's agenda is to develop initiatives and partnerships that will foster economic equivalency and enhance overall business, economic and social development of Latinos.  For more information, visit  http://www.TheLatinoCoalition.com.

About Biz2Credit
Founded in 2007, Biz2Credit is a leading credit marketplace connecting small- and medium-sized businesses with lenders, service providers, and complementary business tools.  The company matches borrowers to financial institutions based on each business's unique profile -- completed in less than four minutes -- in a safe, efficient, price-transparent environment.  Biz2Credit's network consists of 1.6 million users, 1,100+ lenders, credit rating agencies such as D&B and Equifax, and small business service providers including CPAs and lawyers.  Having arranged $800 million in funding throughout the U.S., Biz2Credit is widely recognized as the #1 online credit resource for small business loans, lines of credit, equipment loans, working capital and other funding options.

UpShot Services Brings New Technology To Chapter 11 Process

New Claims Agent First to Offer Completely Electronic Noticing and Claims Management Capabilities

DENVER, March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite the U.S. Bankruptcy Court's recent shift towards electronic claims filing,[1] claims agents have been slow to introduce new technology to help clients and debtors make the leap to electronic claims filing.  However, a new entrant to the industry, UpShot Services, is stepping up to meet new electronic filing protocols with the first web-based platform that can handle all claims & noticing management completely electronically.   

"The corporate restructuring industry is primed for a paradigm shift towards electronic offerings and web-based solutions," said Travis Vandell, UpShot's CEO and co-founder.  "UpShot is ready to lead that change with progressive electronic claims filing capabilities and technology tools bringing a new standard of efficiency to the Chapter 11 process."

Already with four cases under its belt, UpShot can administer an entire case without printing a single piece of paper, with the willingness of the Bankruptcy Court and counsel.  It also is the first claims agent to utilize secure, electronic signatures on bankruptcy-related documents backed by a web of safety measures, granting immediate legal effect and eliminating potential time disputes. 

The absence of recent technology upgrades within their industry led veteran claims and noticing professionals Travis Vandell and Robert Klamser to create a more efficient model of claims and noticing.  They estimate that UpShot's technology driven processes can save as much as 10% in corporate bankruptcy administration costs for debtors and the estate.  And, they offer something  "free" to clients -- "freemium" creditor committee micro web sites to help maintain communication with unsecured creditors.

"While technology is at the core of our efficient platform, client service remains a hallmark for UpShot," Klamser adds.  "The Chapter 11 community is very close-knit and we view the satisfaction of our clients as integral to our business, as well as to our core values."

About UpShot Services LLC

Headquartered in Denver, Colo., UpShot Services, LLC is a boutique claims & noticing firm founded by industry veterans that serves the administrative needs of companies in corporate bankruptcy with a new standard of efficiency.  UpShot helps debtors and their professionals navigate the intricacies of claims and noticing without the burden of high administrative costs.  Its easy-to-use, scalable technology and industry expertise enable corporate debtors and their professionals to do more with less, with 24/7 support from experienced experts at every stage of the restructuring process. 

[1] On 9/15/12, U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware began accepting claims electronically through its web site at no charge to creditors and "strongly encourages" electronic claims filing: http://www.deb.uscourts.gov/claims-information).   On 2/1/13, it amends its local rules to state "claims submitted through a court-approved electronic claims filing systems are considered the original proof of claim": http://www.deb.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/local_rules/Redline_2012_2013.pdf

Furukawa Electric Announces Sampling of Micro ITLA for 100 Gbps Optical Coherent Transmission

ANAHEIM, Calif., March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- OFC/NFOEC 2013, Booth #2627 -- Furukawa Electric Company, Ltd. has developed a micro Integrable Tunable Laser Assembly (ITLA), a key component in ultrahigh-speed optical digital coherent transmission devices operating at 100 gigabits per second (Gbps). This transmission device is now being introduced globally with initial sampling of the micro ITLA.   In addition to meeting the industries' demand for much lower power consumption and high optical output, Furukawa has also developed a new wave length tunable laser chip that enables an additional 20% reduction in power consumption. When used in combination with the micro ITLA, it further reduces power consumption by 40% against conventional products and nearly doubles the optical output when compared with micro ITLA.  These benefits along with the acceptance of the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) to standardize the ITLA specification make the micro ITLAs an attractive choice for optical communication devices. The new wave length tunable laser chips are planned to be mounted on the micro ITLA devices beginning in early 2014.

Presently, global network traffic continues to grow at a phenomenal rate in both terrestrial and wireless networks. With smartphones now a ubiquitous tool for consumers and business users, acceptance of cloud computing, data center connectivity and mass video distribution, the telecommunications industry is presently accelerating the deployment of 100Gbps transmission systems for high capacity. The industry has converged on optical digital coherent technology in transmission systems, which involves the use of optical phases (wave conditions) resistant to signal deterioration and impervious to the effects of noise.

Furukawa has already commercialized high-output and narrow-line-width ITLAs that exhibit excellent properties for signal lights from the optical digital coherent system (Note 1) and for local oscillator (Note 2). Since the industry continues to demand higher capacity, the specifications for small and low power-consumption ITLAs have now been accepted and standardized by the OIF (Note 3).

The micro ITLA is a light source that has been made smaller, consuming less electricity while retaining the same specifications of conventional ITLAs that the industry is used to. These specifications include communications protocol and optical-electric properties.

Conventional and micro ITLA comparison

Using its innovative history and manufacturing prowess, Furukawa has developed technologies for assembling and fixing high-accuracy optical components for manufacturing micro ITLAs (half the size or less compared to conventional ITLAs, 45 x 20 mm). A small package module has been developed by harnessing these technologies. Furukawa's expertise in laser driver circuits and digital circuits has also been exercised to reduce the form factor.

The new wave length tunable laser chips from Furukawa can reduce power consumption by 20% from 5W to 4W. Currently available conventional lasers use GaInAsP crystals as active layers of the lasers. However, the optical output is reduced significantly at higher temperatures requiring cooling operation below room temperature. Furukawa's new wave length tunable laser chips use AlGaInAs crystals (Note 4) for the light-emitting layer. By using this material, Furukawa has achieved better control of the optical output at higher temperatures improving it to 16dBm or higher compared with 13.5dBm of conventional GaInAsP products. In addition, new wavelength tunable laser chips  also increases the operating temperature by 15 degrees Celsius higher than conventional products, thus reducing the power consumption on the TEC (Note 5) and even lower when used on the micro ITLA (up to 40% compared to conventional products).

The new micro ITLA product will be exhibited at OFC/NFOEC 2013, scheduled to be held from March 19 in Anaheim, California, United States. A paper on the new wave length tunable laser chips will also be presented at the IEICE General Conference 2013, which will be held in Gifu, Japan from March 19.

Glossary

(Note 1) Optical digital coherent system: Involving the use of digital signal processing to detect optical phase information from transmitted data, the system is capable of transmitting a large volume of information within a narrow bandwidth.

(Note 2) Local oscillator: In the optical digital coherent system of transmission, this kind of light is locally used to facilitate interference with signal lights to obtain phase information from the transmitted data. This requires a narrow line width.

(Note 3) OIF: Optical Internetworking Forum is an industry group that endorses the standardization of optical network devices and their optical components.

(Note 4) AlGaInAs?This material makes it possible to create lasers that control the lowering of output even at high temperatures, compared to the conventional GaInAsP. As it contains Al which is oxidized readily, it is generally considered difficult to apply AlGaInAs to integrated-type optical elements that are produced through complicated processes.

(Note 5) TEC: Thermoelectric Cooling Module: This module carries out heat generation and heat absorption by passing a current to the portion connecting two thermal electronic materials. It is used for adjusting the temperature of the laser chips in this product.

Pull-Ups® Brand Helps Milwaukee-Area Toddler Celebrate Potty Training Success

Pieper Family Shares First Flush Moment on Facebook and Wins All-Expenses Paid Trip to Orlando

NEENAH, Wis., March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Parents love to celebrate their kids' major milestones, and now the first flush that kicks off potty training is no exception. The Pull-Ups Brand, parents' potty training partner for nearly 25 years, recently asked parents to show how they started potty training the fun and easy way by sharing their child's celebratory first flush photo on its Facebook page. Thousands of parents entered the Pull-Ups First Flush Moments Sweepstakes, but Jessica Pieper from Greenfield, Wis., was randomly chosen as the grand prize winner. Ms. Pieper wins an all-expenses paid trip for her family to a world-famous destination in Orlando.

"We're so thankful that Pull-Ups gave us this exciting opportunity," said Jessica Pieper. "It made Emmalyn's potty training experience fun, especially when she made it to that first flush. We can't think of a better way to celebrate potty training success than with this trip to Orlando!"

Pull-Ups launched the First Flush Moments Sweepstakes to give extra motivation for Moms and children to start potty training and encourage them to celebrate their child's first flush ... and every flush after. To enter, parents visited Facebook.com/Pull-Ups and shared a short story or uploaded an image documenting their celebratory first flush moment, whether it was a cheer, a smile or a high-five.

"We noticed a lot of moms were delaying the potty training process because of the perceived stress and conflict with their child," said Christoph Zickler, Pull-Ups Senior Brand Manager, Kimberly-Clark. "We wanted to motivate Moms to begin potty training their children and show how fun and easy the process can be by celebrating their potty training successes."

Mid-way through the sweepstakes, Pull-Ups selected 41 entrants to have their photos showcased on the ABC Supersign in New York City's Times Square, during a Jan. 29 event where Pull-Ups held a larger-than-life celebration.

Pull-Ups Big Kid App

In addition to helping parents and toddlers celebrate the first flush, Pull-Ups recently launched the Pull-Ups* Big Kid App, a mobile tool that integrates imagination and reality via augmented reality technology to keep mom and child motivated throughout the potty training process. With 74 percent of Moms letting their children regularly play with their smart phone(1), the Pull-Ups Big Kid App is the perfect tech-friendly tool that Moms can access and use as part of their highly mobile lives.

Special identifying markers inside packages of Pull-Ups Training Pants can be scanned with the Pull-Ups Big Kid App to activate the interactive Pull-Ups Big Kid 3D Celebration, where Disney characters, including Rapunzel, Mickey, Minnie and Buzz Lightyear, come to life.

The Pull-Ups Big Kid App is available as a free download via the Apple iTunes App store and Google Play for Android. To learn more, visit pull-ups.com.

NETGEAR Revolutionizes Connected Storage And Data Protection With New ReadyNAS Products

NAS models feature new operating system, modern GUI, redesigned hardware and a wealth of user applications and data protection technology

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR) (http://www.netgear.com), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, today announced a new portfolio of networked-attached-storage (NAS) products which run on the newly developed ReadyNAS® OS 6. These revolutionary devices are built on a custom platform designed as "storage made easy" for both the home and small to medium-sized businesses (SMB). NETGEAR also unveiled a suite of new downloadable applications for these products on the genie+(TM) marketplace.

With a sleek new interface and a rich set of embedded or easily downloadable applications, this NAS storage portfolio pairs the latest in performance and scalability with cutting-edge technologies such as unlimited snapshots and cloud-managed replication, which dramatically reduces any possibility of data loss. Once again, NETGEAR is taking features and capabilities previously available only from expensive, large-enterprise vendors and lowering the cost while dramatically simplifying deployment and manageability to provide users with affordable, powerful, and reliable NAS storage.

Photographs, video clips, songs, websites, email, client files, and application data on physical or virtual servers -- the type of information that enriches our lives and is essential to business can seem endless. With ReadyNAS, customers finally have an advanced, easy-to-use solution for centralizing, securing, and controlling access to digital assets. What's more, cloud-based discovery and file management through NETGEAR's ReadyCLOUD(TM) simplifies the set-up experience and enables full ongoing management of data from any web-connected device.

"As a photographer, my images are the foundation of my various photography businesses," explains Colby Brown, professional photographer and photo educator. "ReadyNAS is a full-featured file server providing access to all my data while on the road, an easy ability to backup data while outside of the office, and the ability to collaborate with other colleagues when I am in the field. With the new ReadyNAS operating system, I don't need an entire IT department to get up and running, and the clean new interface takes all the challenges out of running effective backups of my valuable data."

The latest additions to the award-wining ReadyNAS product family (http://www.netgear.com/readynas) are available in three new series of desktop models and a 1U rackmount, each designed for the unique needs of home users and small to medium-sized businesses.

    --  The entry level ReadyNAS 100 Series (RN102xx, RN104xx) is designed for
        home use, and comes in two-bay and four-bay models that are offered as
        either diskless or populated with drives.
    --  The ReadyNAS 300 Series (RN312xx, RN314xx, RN316xx) is optimized for
        small business networks and remote or branch office needs, and offers
        two-bay, four-bay, and six-bay versions that are either diskless or
        populated with drives.
    --  The four-bay ReadyNAS 2120 is a 1U form factor for easy rack deployment
        in small data center environments and comes either diskless or populated
        with drives.
    --  The six-bay ReadyNAS 500 Series (RN516xx) offers the highest performance
        and is designed for small to medium sized business networks supporting
        up to 250 concurrent users, and also comes diskless or populated with
        drives.
"We designed the new ReadyNAS OS from the ground up with ease-of-use in mind, so users can confidently centralize and back up all their data," said Matt Pahnke, senior product marketing manager for NETGEAR Storage. "Customers could not be more excited about our revolutionary ReadyCLOUD technology for cloud-based set-up, provisioning, and management. The cloud-based set-up and comprehensive, but simple-to-use interface is unlike anything else in the NAS market."

Each ReadyNAS features advanced on-box data protection in the form of unlimited snapshot capability, cloud-managed replication, and XRAID automatic volume expansion. In addition, each unit showcases native encryption, enabling prosumer and business users to securely share, store, and protect sensitive data across their network. Every NAS device in the new ReadyNAS Series supports SATA (up to 4TB) and SSD drives. ReadyNAS 300 and 500 models include an eSATA expansion port for scaling capacity as the storage needs of a business grows (up to 84TB).

Pahnke added, "We want to give our customers productivity-enhancing, innovative, and entertaining ways to do more with their NAS than they ever thought possible. With this in mind, ReadyNAS devices feature a rich set of embedded apps in addition to the growing library of add-ons found in the genie+ marketplace (genie.netgear.com/)."

Launched last year, genie+ marketplace is a platform for third party developers to deliver exciting, new applications which can be installed on ReadyNAS boxes with a single click. The suite of new applications includes productivity tools, media sharing applications, and a variety of other useful apps. Along with the currently available apps, NETGEAR has over 600 developers registered to create additional apps supporting the products announced today. Among the 40+ applications available are the Polkast media sharing application that allows owners to enjoy all of the content stored on their device from their mobile devices, the QNext FB social cloud application that enables users to share any of their content with any Facebook friend without having to upload the content, and the Symform Cloud Backup application that enables free online cloud backup.

ReadyNAS continues to be compatible with all leading backup software providers, and is one of the first SMB NAS devices to feature real-time anti-virus protection, providing peace of mind knowing that sensitive data is automatically protected and secure from virtually any threat.

The new product line also features seamless cloud-like file synchronization with ReadyDROP(TM) and Dropbox integration. In addition, ReadyNAS Remote from NETGEAR enables you to easily access files from anywhere in the world on any web-connected device. NETGEAR is the first company to offer prosumers and small businesses the ability to back up Mac® data from any location in the world, without paying a monthly fee for cloud storage.

Pricing and Availability
Select models of the NETGEAR ReadyNAS 100 and 300 series are now available worldwide through reseller channels and a variety of e-commerce sites. The full line of new ReadyNAS models will be available in the second quarter of 2013 through authorized NETGEAR PowerSHIFT channel partners (http://powershift.netgear.com/) and other reseller channels and e-commerce sites.

Thrupoint Launches Secure WebRTC On-Ramp for the Extended Enterprise

Delivers Seamless Collaboration Experiences across Applications, Users and Endpoints

ORLANDO, Fla., March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Thrupoint, a recognized leader in WebRTC innovation to enable mobile and Web-based business applications with real time communications, today announced the release of disruptive collaboration solutions that open up new ways for enterprises to engage with customers.

As an example, a patient logged into a hospital Web portal from home can start a video chat with a clinician and zoom in on x-rays with shared control of the viewing screen, all without leaving the portal application or downloading a separate client. An investor can use a native banking application on her iPad to see the presence status of her financial advisor, send instant messages, or start a video conference that connects seamlessly to her advisor's enterprise video device and allows other participants to join as defined by corporate policies. A consumer researching a specific product on a retailer's website can click to begin a video call directly from the browser with no plugin needed and, instead of being connected to a general 1-800 number, be routed intelligently to a call center agent with specialized knowledge of the product in question.

These and other innovative solutions are enabled by Thrupoint's WebRTC offerings, which deliver enriched inter-company, B2B and B2C interactions in compliance with enterprise policy and security requirements.

Thrupoint's new WebRTC-to-SIP solution establishes secure video collaboration between WebRTC capable and SIP enabled enterprise endpoints, be they company issued or bring-your-own clients, applications and devices. A new software development kit (SDK), Thrupoint Fusion(TM) Client SDK, gives Web developers easy-to-use APIs for mobile and desktop platforms that mash up existing corporate voice, video, presence and messaging capabilities together with business applications to create seamless collaboration experiences. Thrupoint also introduces Release 4.1 of its Fusion(TM) Service Broker product, which features many new capabilities for advanced session management and service delivery.

Highlights / Key Facts

    --  Thrupoint's new WebRTC solutions transform internal, B2B and B2C
        interactions as external users get secure, on-network multi-media
        communication to the enterprise directly from a native browser or mobile
        device. Intelligence within the network ensures that corporate and user
        policies are enforced, such as whitelisting/blacklisting, session
        recording or time-of-day routing.
    --  Thrupoint's WebRTC-to-SIP solution provides interworking without the
        need for large-scale upgrades or forklifts of existing enterprise
        infrastructure. New server-side software products include Fusion Web
        Gateway and Fusion Media Broker for bridging signaling and media
        respectively between WebRTC endpoints and enterprise domains, such as
        HTTP to SIP conversion, SDP translation, VP8 to H.264 video transcoding
        and RTP normalization.
    --  Thrupoint's Fusion Client SDK provides simple APIs that enable Web
        developers to rapidly communication-enable business applications in as
        little as 20 lines of code using native iOS, JavaScript and soon Android
        platforms. Users can make and receive voice and video calls, send and
        receive instant messages, communicate presence status, and share
        application events in real-time directly from a browser-based or mobile
        application without the use of plugins or clients.
    --  Thrupoint Fusion Service Broker orchestrates multi-media collaboration
        sessions across mixed vendor systems with policy enforcement to ensure
        security, compliance and conformance to regulatory rules. Service Broker
        Release 4.1 introduces increased flexibility as a developer platform,
        support for new Web technologies, instant messaging and presence
        adapters for leading UC platforms, and SIP normalization across the
        enterprise as part of Thrupoint's WebRTC-to-SIP solution.
Supporting Quotes

    --  Dr. E. Brent Kelly, VP and Principal Analyst, Constellation Research:
        "WebRTC will make real-time voice and video communications available for
        anyone using a Web browser. But, the bare bones approach to the WebRTC
        standard means that WebRTC needs policy along with integration to
        existing platforms so that it can be used securely by enterprises.
        Innovative companies, like Thrupoint, provide the support infrastructure
        necessary for handling the ambiguities that exist within the WebRTC
        standard while delivering the integration capabilities and policy
        compliance necessary for extending WebRTC to the enterprise."
    --  Dean Bubley, Founder of Disruptive Analysis: "WebRTC is evolving at a
        blistering pace, with innovative prototypes and early commercial
        offerings cropping up almost daily, even before the standards are
        finalised. There is significant value for developers and enterprises
        from companies offering simple 'enablers' for WebRTC, in terms of
        client-side SDKs, signalling and media components. Especially on mobile
        devices, this will help accelerate market penetration and address key
        collaboration and contact-centre use cases."
    --  Dan Miller, Senior Analyst, Opus Research, Inc: "WebRTC is subject to
        lots of hype these days. But it still has to prove its business value in
        the enterprise. A vendor like Thrupoint that takes a holistic approach,
        combining SDKs and APIs that encourage Web developers to build new
        services rapidly together with advanced session management resources,
        enables enterprises to leverage existing IP-based communications and
        telephony infrastructure investments."

Yoyomolo.com - On the path to reach $1.5 million in online donations in its first year

MONTREAL, March 18, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Yoyomolo, the most effective
peer-to-peer online donation system, has had a smashing debut. In only
six months, the new fundraising concept for everyone has distributed
over $500,000 to a variety of organizations and foundations and the
pace is accelerating.

With Yoyomolo, every dollar collected on the Web is deposited directly
into the organization's or foundation's PayPal account. As a result,
donors know that every dollar is going to the cause it has been
contributed to. Yoyomolo only collects a six percent surcharge, which
includes the PayPal or credit card transaction fees, making it one of
the most effective philanthropic funding solutions around.

Yoyomolo is different from other popular platforms in the United States
that require users to reach a specific monetary objective in a
predetermined time. If it is not reached, the money is returned to each
donor, minus administration fees. Organizations often end up
empty-handed.

"We hope to collect over $1 million over the next 12 months to help
organizations, groups, sports teams, arts collectives and foundations,
all of whom dearly need it right now, when fundraising is so tough,"
said Benoit L'Archevêque, founder and CEO of Azzimov Mobile and
co-founder of the Yoyomolo.com platform by ODE Technologies.

Yoyomolo: a platform based on a system tried and tested for years, now
available to all 

Yoyomolo was built on ODE Technologies' high-performance platform. This
platform allows organizations to create as many events as they wish, on
their own, with no technological knowledge required. "We wanted to see
smaller organizations--everyone really, sports teams, cultural
activities, you name it--taking advantage of the same powerful tools the

number of teams in each. Within each team, moreover, you can add an
unlimited number of participants--all on your own. "When we created
Yoyomolo, we wanted to reverse the pyramid so that the public could be
active in fundraising rather than leaving the job to a few individuals
who had to do all the work and collect donations," said L'Archevêque. "With Yoyomolo, every activity
is divided up among the participants themselves and their team leaders,
freeing foundations and organizations from the task and multiplying
results to a spectacular degree."

The wealth of bandwidth-hungry multimedia applications and services is driving demand for high-capacity, packet-based networking. Users are utilizing more dynamic services than ever before, and as more applications are moved to the cloud, new network traffic patterns are placing an ever-increasing demand on existing architectures. To meet this demand, system vendors are seeking higher density, lower power and multi-service support devices that are optimized to enable the next generation of high performance converged networks.

"We anticipate breakout growth for this segment as carriers continue to embrace and deploy OTN. According to our recent report, OTN transport and switching equipment will be nearly a $13B market by 2017," said Andrew Schmitt, Principal Analyst for Optical at Infonetics Research.

The BCM845xx Series features three device options including the BCM84520 20G version, the BCM84540 40G version and the BCM84512 120G version. Each device offers a powerful combination of mixed signal and digital processing functionality including high-speed PHY, Electronic Dispersion Compensation (EDC), clock synthesis, jitter-filtering phase lock loops (PLLs) and selectable Forward Error Correction (FEC) codes. Comprehensive application coverage enables interoperability between different network operators and system equipment vendors.

"Telecom system vendors look to Broadcom for the solutions necessary to manage the exponential increase in traffic driven by video and other high bandwidth multimedia applications," said Lorenzo Longo, Broadcom Vice President and General Manager, Physical Layer Products (PLP). "Built on our field-proven 10G/40G Ethernet PHY technology, our new line of multicore Framer/PHYs combines the higher density, lower power and unprecedented level of integration required to enable the next wave of optical transport networks."

Independent Industry Testing Validates NextNav's Superior Indoor Positioning Solution for E911 Mobile Calls

Results Include Two Meter Vertical or Floor-Level Accuracy

SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- On March 14(th), the FCC-chartered Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council ("CSRIC") approved the final report of the results from its independent field trial of indoor wireless location technologies for E911, during which NextNav LLC demonstrated the superior performance of its technology in accurately locating users in challenging indoor environments in both the horizontal and the vertical dimensions. 

Although the FCC has long required wireless carriers to locate E911 mobile callers who are outdoors, there are no standards for E911 mobile calls from indoor locations, where mobile calling is dramatically increasing. The CSRIC test bed was designed to determine the ability of various technologies to accurately locate mobile E911 callers in challenging indoor environments.

The trial tested the performance of location systems across urban, suburban and rural areas in the San Francisco Bay Area.  More than 13,000 test calls were placed from various tested technologies in 75 different indoor locations selected by participating Public Safety organizations from around the country.   Results were scored for horizontal and vertical accuracy, speed of location, and reliability and consistency of results.  NextNav was the only technology capable of reporting a valid height or altitude estimate, with a median height error of 2 meters, enabling floor-level positioning.  NextNav's horizontal accuracy results were also impressive, reducing first responder "search rings" by 90%.

"Our ability to precisely identify the exact building, or an adjacent building or parking garage, more than 80% of the time across the most challenging indoor environments represents a significant advance for mobile E911 location," said Ganesh Pattabiraman, Founder and President of NextNav.  "We also believe our unique ability to deliver floor-level height accuracy, particularly for urban residents, is revolutionary.  When these capabilities are adopted they will save lives, decrease emergency response times, and provide consumers the certainty of emergency location they expect when calling 911."

According to the CSRIC, "As wireless usage increases and as more people are using cell phones indoors (or have abandoned the usage of landline phones altogether) it is becoming clear that the need to accurately locate wireless users in indoor environments is increasing."  CTIA, the Wireless Association, has reported that nearly 400,000 mobile E911 calls are placed daily.  The FCC itself has noted that more than 70% of all E911 calls are placed from wireless devices.

About the CSRIC Work Group and Indoor Location Trials

Chartered by the FCC to create an information base from which indoor location accuracy standards for E911 could be established, the Communications Security, Reliability, Interoperability Council (CSRIC) Working Group 3 (WG3) consists of technology vendors, public safety organizations, and the major U.S. wireless carriers.
