Briggs & Stratton Launches Industry-First Solution to Solve 'Missing Operator Manual' Problem

Introduction of serialized quick response code labels enables homeowners to find important engine information quickly and easily.

MILWAUKEE, May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Each year, when spring arrives, homeowners across America resume old, familiar rituals such as cleaning out the garage, picking up yard debris, and going to the local garden center to pick up a bag of "weed & feed" for the lawn.  Tuning up the lawnmower is another early spring ritual to complete.  But, for too many of us, the mower tune-up often starts with a frantic search for the operator's manual that was misplaced after the last tune-up was done.  Briggs & Stratton Corporation (NYSE: BGG) would like to put an end to 'missing operator manual frustrations' with the introduction of its industry-first serialized quick response (QR*) code labels.

Earlier this year, Briggs & Stratton initiated a phased rollout of QR labeling on engines manufactured for use in North America.  The serialized QR labels will enable homeowners with a smartphone to access engine-specific information quickly and easily.  The Briggs & Stratton® 550e and 550ex Series(TM) engines are the first models in Briggs & Stratton's consumer engine line up to be marked with the new labels.  This June, Briggs & Stratton will begin phasing in QR labeling on other popular models in its North American line up.

The new serialized QR label is designed to be easy-to-read and will be placed in an easy-to-find location on each engine.  "Once you scan the QR code with your smart phone, you will be directed immediately to information that is specific for the engine that's on your mower.  Searching for your model will not be necessary," said J.P. Benjamins, product marketing manager for Briggs & Stratton.  The QR label, which can be scanned by popular smartphone applications like ScanLife, will deliver the consumer to a customized mobile website with engine specific information including:

    --  Operator's Manual - Maintenance and operations instructions for your
        engine
    --  Illustrated Parts List - An easy-to-use reference for locating part
        numbers
    --  Dealer Locator - A GPS-enabled tool that directs you to the Briggs &
        Stratton dealer near you
    --  Customer Service - Dial directly to a customer service representative in
        one click
To implement the new QR codes, Briggs & Stratton formed a cross-functional team that included representatives from the marketing, sales, operations and information technology (IT) departments.  Rather than using QR technology to deliver static, point-of-sale content, the team focused its efforts on creating a best-in-class, post-sale experience for consumers.   Making it easier for consumers to access the most frequently sought engine-related information, including operations and maintenance instructions, was a key goal of the project.  "Our focus is to help consumers after they bring home their new equipment.  If you have a Briggs & Stratton engine on your mower, riding tractor, pressure washer, or generator, we want you to have a great ownership experience," explained Benjamins.

The QR project has also provided Briggs & Stratton a new opportunity to work more closely with its equipment manufacturing customers and retail partners to increase customer satisfaction and minimize issues related to product returns.  "This is truly an innovative approach to combining smartphone and QR technology.  By using the serial number, we have the potential to deliver targeted information based on the brand or retailer of equipment that the Briggs & Stratton engine is powering," said Mike Boeselager, manager of the QR code project for Briggs & Stratton.

Briggs & Stratton previously introduced QR codes on its line of packaged maintenance parts in 2009, and added Power Codes (serialized QR codes) to its Vanguard(TM) family of engines earlier this year.  To try out the new QR code, scan the image provided or go to http://m.briggsandstratton.com/qr/1203155433744/ using your mobile web browser.

Starhawk(TM) Flys Onto Store Shelves Today, Exclusively For The PlayStation®3 (PS3(TM)) System

Fresh New Shooter Blends Nonstop Action Together With Instant Customization On The Battlefield, Bringing A One-Of-A-Kind Experience To The Genre

FOSTER CITY, Calif., May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) announced today the North American launch of the innovative third-person shooter Starhawk(TM), exclusively for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.  Developed by LightBox Interactive, in collaboration with Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios (SCE WWS) Santa Monica Studio, Starhawk provides fast paced, frenetic shooter action set in the lawless frontier of space.  Through the game's unique Build & Battle system, players can instantly alter the battlefield by calling down offensive and defensive structures from an orbiting drop ship in real-time, all while blasting away at enemies in the middle of huge single-player or multiplayer firefights. 

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20020701/SFM066LOGO)

"Starhawk is not your traditional shooter; it alters the gameplay recipe in such a way that creates a brand new experience for players and one that is only possible on PlayStation 3," said Guy Longworth, Senior Vice President, PlayStation Brand Marketing, SCEA.  "Combining a run-and-gun style with our innovative Build & Battle system, along with a compelling story mode and robust online multiplayer campaign, Starhawk will truly move the genre forward and is sure to excite shooter fans and newcomers alike."

Starhawk's feature set begins with a host of weaponry and a multitude of vehicles for high-speed, extreme combat combined with intense vehicular warfare on both land and air.  The game's innovative Build & Battle system lets players alter the moment to moment action by giving them the ability to change the dynamic of the battlefield instantly with a selection of base structures at their disposal, all while in the midst of the fight.  By the touch of a button players can violently deploy a number of buildings, vehicles, or artillery to strategically complete mission objectives and defeat enemies.  The instantaneous customization that Build & Battle provides, as well as the breadth of gameplay that spans multiple modes, is only made possible through the sophisticated architecture of PlayStation 3.

Starhawk boasts a strong online multiplayer mode via PlayStation®Network where users can battle head-to-head in epic 32-player matches, up to four-player online and offline co-operative play, and split-screen gameplay within multi-player and co-op modes, always against an endless attack of enemies.  The development team has made every effort to give players the realistic feel of actually being on the battlegrounds with vibrant characters and environments, coupled with dynamic lighting effects. 

Starhawk also includes a compelling single-player campaign with various missions set in a number of diverse interstellar environments.  The Starhawk universe is set in the distant future, out in the far reaches of space where factions battle over a rare and dangerous resource known as Rift Energy.  In this galaxy, colonies of humans, called Rifters, explore a scattering of planets, known as the Frontier, in attempt to mine this energy to make an honest living, but find their way of life threatened by the Outcast, a ruthless species of humans who have mutated into psychotic monsters due to exposure to this very same Rift Energy.  Caught in the middle is Emmett Graves, a hired gunslinger ostracized from society because of his own exposure to Rift Energy, leaving him partially mutated, but still able to retain his humanity.  Starhawk allows you to take on the powerful role of Graves who is drawn back to his home settlement of White Sands on the Planet Dust to face a mysterious outlaw and a war band of Outcast warriors only to discover that this job may mean more to him than he could have ever imagined.  He will soon find out that his family is involved in the clash between the Outcast and the Rifters and therefore must decide between those close to him and those he swore to protect.

Additionally, Starhawk employs a host of online community features that allows players to be always connected, all the time, including tournaments, leader boards, and clan support with additional friends list and quick match options.  Players can keep up to date with the community events calendar, ticker tape updates, and a Starhawk Android application that lets users keep track of friends, clan mates, and stats when not online.

Starhawk is a single or multi-player third-person shooter experience that has an ESRB rating of "T" for Teen.  For more information about the ESRB, visit http://www.esrb.org.  For more information about Starhawk, visit http://StarhawkTheGame.com/.

Ricoh unveils a portable, self-contained videoconferencing system for business

The P3000 Unified Communication System, to debut at InfoComm, goes anywhere, creates cost-effective, highly productive videoconferences in the cloud

See Ricoh in Booth #C5735 at InfoComm 2012

WEST CALDWELL, N.J., May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh Americas Corporation today announced a breakthrough in videoconferencing, the Ricoh P3000 Unified Communication System: a portable, sleek, self-contained videoconferencing system as easy to use as a mobile phone. Connecting up to 20 participants at once with the push of a button, the device provides the security and audiovisual quality of much more expensive, fixed-room videoconferencing systems at a fraction of the cost and complexity.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120508/NY02111 )

The P3000 Unified Communication System allows users to create a video conference room wherever they are, and puts secure, encrypted, high-end conferencing in the hands of small and medium-sized businesses. It offers far more flexibility than large, permanently installed videoconferencing systems that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and can be complicated to operate. The P3000 only takes about 30 seconds to start a video conference. Just select participants from the address book, push connect and begin conferencing. It offers secure video, voice and data communication capabilities that consumer conferencing tools simply do not.

The P3000 Unified Communication System is a thin (1.6 inches, or 40 mm) tablet-sized package containing a camera, microphone, speaker, network connectivity and a push-button console. It lets users quickly and easily initiate a real-time video and audio conferencing session in the cloud, from wherever they are, whether a traditional office, meeting room or home office. The high resolution 94-degree wide angle lens allows multiple people to be viewed in a room. All they need is a P3000, a display (e.g. PC monitor or projector) and an Internet connection, wired or wireless. A variety of screen layouts are available and up to nine participants can appear on the screen at one time.

Lightweight (3.5 pounds/1.6 kg) and simple to operate, the P3000 lets conference participants share documents, spreadsheets, presentations and desktops as they confer. A sales organization, for example, can hold quarterly meetings online yet collaborate as closely on sales reports as they would in person. By combining the P3000 with Ricoh's PJ WX4130/PJ WX4130N Ultra Short Throw projector, users can quickly create an impressive video conference room where and when they need it. Because it's a portable, self-contained unit, any meeting room, business office, or even a home office can become a video conference room. Secure portable group videoconferencing also offers tremendous value for a wide range of applications such as education, construction, healthcare, government and many other industries.

"The P3000 is an integral piece of Ricoh's Unified Communications Strategy, which is a pillar of Ricoh's commitment to help companies get the right information to the right people at the right time," said Shun Sato, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Ricoh Americas Corporation. "The unit interoperates seamlessly with another key piece of the Unified Communications strategy, the PJ WX4130/PJ WX4130N Ultra Short Throw projector, to create life-sized images of conference participants on a wall, screen or whiteboard. Together, these solutions help create the business environment of the future, high-powered yet fully mobile, to reduce costs and streamline processes."

The P3000 ensures a high-quality videoconferencing experience via the H.264/SVC video compression standard, which adjusts resolution, frame rate and compression to accommodate available bandwidth.

The P3000 has a street price of $1,650 (USD), plus a subscription to a cloud service. Anticipated US release is fall 2012.

Ricoh will demo the P3000 at InfoComm 2012 in Las Vegas, June 13-15, in booth C5735.

VeriFone GlobalBay Solutions(TM) From AT&T Can Help Improve Checkout Speed and Customer Experience

Mobile Applications for Retailers, Restaurants and Hotels Allow Businesses to Process Payments and Service Customers Almost Anywhere, and Can Virtually Eliminate Checkout Lines

DALLAS, May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- No one likes waiting in line. When shoppers find the right tee shirt, greeting card or video game, they want to pay for it right then and there - and that's what VeriFone GlobalBay Solutions(TM) from AT&T* allows them to do.

Available today on iOS(1), VeriFone GlobalBay Solutions(TM) from AT&T helps strip away the hassles of in-store shopping and can improve the overall customer experience. Sales associates armed with mobile devices can scan items, apply coupons and discounts, and complete credit card transactions from any location in the store. In addition, the tablet-based solutions provide the ability to sell items from inventory not available in the store - helping to prevent lost sales. With this solution, associates can remain engaged with their customers, quickly and efficiently.

Businesses can easily configure this mobile point of sale application to meet their specific needs. An electronics retailer, for instance, might want to load product images and information about extended warranties onto its employees' smartphones or tablets. When a salesperson scans the barcode on an MP3 player, he or she can then make focused recommendations for protection plans and accessories like headphones, cases and car chargers.

"Customers don't want to wait in line or stand around as a sales person runs off to find information on a product -- they want great service in a timely manner," said Chris Hill, Vice President, Advanced Mobility Solutions, AT&T Business and Home Solutions. "The addition of VeriFone GlobalBay Solutions(TM) from AT&T to our mobility portfolio helps businesses complete transactions efficiently and attentively, ultimately helping to drive new revenue generation and increase competitive advantage."

VeriFone GlobalBay Solutions(TM) from AT&T can also change the game in service industries, offering restaurants tableside ordering and payment capabilities, and for hotels, allowing hospitality staff to add purchases to guest room bills. By increasing customer engagement and payment convenience, businesses can have a direct - and positive - impact on revenue.

"AT&T is bringing mobile checkout and other time-saving features to enhance consumer interaction wherever payment and service is most convenient with VeriFone GlobalBay Solutions(TM) from AT&T apps that help increase loyalty and revenue potential while also streamlining operations," said Jennifer Miles, VeriFone executive vice president, North America.

Potential benefits of VeriFone GlobalBay Solutions(TM) from AT&T include:

    --  Faster, more effective customer service that brings sales associates out
        onto the floor instead of trapping them behind cash registers, creating
        the opportunity to increase return visits and improve loyalty.
    --  Reduction of checkout lines, which helps prevent revenue loss caused by
        customers' walking away from their purchases.
    --  Easy access to information anywhere in the store, which can drive new
        sales opportunities.
    --  On-the-spot enrollment in loyalty or reward programs.
    --  Integration with existing point of sale systems (POS) to make the
        transition to mobile POS simple and intuitive for employees.

VeriFone GlobalBay Solutions(TM) from AT&T provides options not offered by typical mobile POS products:

    --  The retailing application, designed for use on tablets, enables sales
        personnel to interact with customers through a rich array of information
        - videos, catalogs and other digital content - almost immediately. The
        salesperson can service a customer from anywhere in the store, with
        access to customer history and product information, specifications and
        videos. Instead of undertaking the expensive endeavor of building
        physical kiosks, tablets are transformed into portable, virtual kiosks.
    --  The inventory app helps sales associates remain more engaged with their
        customers prior to checkout. In a shoe store, for instance, employees
        can perform tasks, such as searching the back room inventory for
        different sizes or colors, without abandoning the customer.
    --  If a company's current POS system is out-of-date, it can move all of its
        payment processes into the cloud through AT&T. This practically
        eliminates the need to maintain information servers for payment
        processes in the back office, making the business more mobile than ever.

AT&T will demo VeriFone GlobalBay Solutions(TM) from AT&T at International CTIA WIRELESS 2012, Booth #1357.

BlueKai Launches New Partner Program to Help Marketers Navigate the Growing Ecosystem of Data Solutions

Program to Provide One Stop Shop for Marketers Seeking and Evaluating Data-Powered Media Solutions and Apps

CUPERTINO, Calif., May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BlueKai, the world's most connected customer data cloud for data management, analysis and activation, today announced the launch of a new partner program.  The BlueKai Partner Program is designed to give marketers an easy way to evaluate all of BlueKai's over 110 (and growing) partners, offering a range of solutions for media execution, analytics, attribution, site and creative optimization and more.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120508/SF02693LOGO)

The BlueKai Partner Program (http://www.bluekai.com/partner), further positions BlueKai as the category leader in the burgeoning data management space as widespread adoption of data-driven marketing strategies continues to grow.  The partnerships reflected in the program represent three major trends that are currently taking place:

    --  Marketers and agencies continue to have a myriad of options when it
        comes to data-powered media.  As a result, real-time data access through
        seamless integration with other media buying processes are key to
        deciding which partners to choose
    --  Data Management Platforms (DMPs) are no longer just tools for marketers.
        Rather, the marketplace is witnessing quick adoption within the
        publishing community as well as data aggregators who are looking to
        better manage and monetize their data assets.
    --  Data utilization is getting more mature and is extending beyond just ad
        targeting.  A whole new realm of app partners are now plugging in data
        as a service to help inform and power their own solutions, from audience
        analytics, modeling, attribution, site optimization and dynamic creative
        optimization, to name just a few.
"BlueKai's mission is to create seamless data connectivity, not just from an infrastructure standpoint but also from a partnership perspective," said Omar Tawakol, CEO of BlueKai.  "Our vast network of partners is an indication of the growth of data-driven choices that are now available to marketers and publishers to better realize the potential of data.  This new partner program was created to make this ecosystem more accessible to marketers who are evaluating these innovative services and to create partnership dialogue among various solution providers."

As part of the program, BlueKai Partners will be segmented into the following areas where they will be assigned various badges that denote the level of integration, partnership or affiliation with BlueKai and its data program:

    --  Media Partners - Partners (ad networks, exchanges, trading desks,
        publishers, etc.) who tap into BlueKai's vast data assets to target ads
        more effectively and efficiently across online or video inventory.
        Integration levels will be assigned based on data transfer methods,
        ability to ingest media data and integration into BlueKai's interfaces.
        Integration is key to maximizing data transfer and targetable audience
        size, building scale in the shortest time possible and gaining real-time
        and integrated access to BlueKai's 3rd party data.  Badges denote
        further partnership attributes including international coverage and
        incorporation of data for analytics.
    --  Branded Data Providers - Includes data aggregator partners whose third
        party audience data is made available for acquisition in the BlueKai
        Exchange.  These badges showcase a variety of data types including
        Intent, Retail, CPG, Travel, Auto, Behavioral, Offline, B2B, Financial
        and Demographic.
    --  App Partners - Partners who are tapping into BlueKai data as a service
        and building value-add solutions for Attribution Models, Video,
        Modeling, Survey, Social and Creative and Site Optimization and beyond.
    --  DMP Partners - Marketer, publisher and data aggregator partners who
        leverage BlueKai's data management platform to manage, monetize, analyze
        and take action on first party data assets.
    --  Privacy Partners - BlueKai is affiliated with these partners to drive

Ekahau Launches Next Generation Wi-Fi RTLS Staff Badge and Pager

New B4 Badge Provides Enterprise Users with Simple to Use Wi-Fi Location Tracking Coupled with Staff Safety and Communications Features

COPENHAGEN, May 8, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    ?

    Ekahau Inc., the worldwide leader in high performance Wi-Fi-based Real Time Location
Systems [http://www.ekahau.com/products/real-time-location-system/overview.html ] (RTLS),
today announced the launch of its newest Wi-Fi staff badge - the Ekahau B4 Staff Badge and
Pager [http://www.ekahau.com/products/real-time-location-system/wi-fi-tags.html ]. The B4
features an OLED text display and multiple buttons that allow users to receive text
messages over Wi-Fi and to acknowledge receipt or to initiate calls and alarms. A unique
feature of the B4 badge is a built-in alarm switch for staff duress events.

    The B4 badge builds on Ekahau's highly successful T301BD staff badge which is being
phased out of production. The B4 incorporates the latest SOC (system on a chip) Wi-Fi
802.11g radio, CPU and memory along with several new changes in the physical design that
enhance the ruggedness and use of the badges. The B4 can be tracked and located by Ekahau
RTLS over any brand or generation of Wi-Fi network. The system is typically able to
achieve room level accuracy using Wi-Fi as the location method. For areas with poor Wi-Fi
coverage or where sub-room location is required, the B4 incorporates an IR sensor that
works with the Ekahau RTLS system and the Ekahau LB1 Location Beacons to ensure location
accuracy down to within a few feet.

    The three call buttons and alarm switch can be programmed to address different calls
initiated by the user. For example, a button press can signify a call for assistance in
moving a patient, whereas the alarm switch can be used to summon nearby co-workers to help
with a life-threatening situation. Due to the system's unique two-way communication
capability, staff members can receive calls for help or other requests directly on the LED
display on the badges they are wearing. An audible tone and flashing LEDs alert that there
is a new message.

    "The new design of the B4 builds on customer feedback we have received over the years
as a leading supplier personnel, patient and visitor tracking
[http://www.ekahau.com/solutions/healthcare.html ] solutions" said Tuomo Rutanen Senior
Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Ekahau Inc. "Ekahau has hundreds
of sites where our RTLS system is deployed with our staff badges that are saving lives,
improving work-flow and improving operations. We combine precision location, alarming and
service request features and a full array of audible, visual and text communications
capabilities on the badge itself. These capabilities offer our customers more options to
leverage the Ekahau RTLS system to solve both mission critical and every-day problems."

    The Ekahau B4 has a rechargeable battery that allows organizations to run the badges
with rapid blink rates and real-time text messaging. Battery life is continuously
monitored with multi-color LEDs and the user is alerted if the battery level falls below a
specific threshold. The B4 badges can be recharged using a simple AC charger, a USB cable
or with a table-top or wall-mount rack charger that charges ten badges simultaneously.
Recharge time is approximately 90 minutes and the badges can be configured to last from a
few days to several weeks on a single charge.

    The B4 starts shipping to customers at the end of May and is available through Ekahau
and its resellers world-wide.

    About Ekahau Inc.

    Ekahau Inc. is the industry leader in providing Wi-Fi-based RTLS solutions. Ekahau's

99Bill's Smartphone Card Reader to Enable Massive Mobile Payment in China

BEIJING, May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- 99Bill Corporation, China's leading electronic financial service provider, announced the official launch of its new mobile payment product 99Bill Card Reader. By simply plugging the tiny 99Bill Card Reader into Smartphone audio jack, merchants can accept bank card and credit card payments on the go, and make more sales quickly. The patented solution supports both iOS and Android platforms.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120508/CN02862)

Statistics shows that China has huge demands for card present transactions, but still lags behind other markets around the developed world where POS devices are extremely common. According to People's Bank of China, the nation had issued a total of nearly 3 billion bank cards by the end of 2011, an increase of 22% from the previous year. Meanwhile, there were only 3.18 million merchants using a total of 4.82 million POS devices in China.

The 99Bill Card Reader creates an entirely new card present payment solution for merchants and consumers by tuning smartphones into POS devices. According to iResearch, China's leading internet-based research firm, there were a total of 72.1 million smart phones being sold in 2011 alone, an increase of 103.1% over the previous year, and this trend is expected to continue in 2012 with an estimated 113 million being sold throughout the year. The increasing penetration of mobile devices gives 99Bill Card Reader a natural edge in this market segment.

With 99Bill's patented technology, the 99Bill card reader solution supports both pass code and signature based bank card transactions. This is especially important in the China market, where pass code enabled bank cards are the most common.

Oliver Kwan, CEO of 99Bill, said, "We always position ourselves as a comprehensive B2B and B2C payment solution provider for business customers. This Card Reader can significantly increase the number of bank card acceptance devices in China and give our business customers more choices to accept payments. We will continue to introduce more innovative payment solutions that really work, and help our customer grow their business."

The 99Bill Card Reader takes advantage of the convenience and ubiquitous nature of mobile devices to enable mobile selling for large companies and face-to-face transactions for small-to-medium size businesses. The first commercial use of such a product in mainland China, 99Bill has already signed agreements with three insurance companies to support their mobile sales forces. In China's mobile payment market, 99Bill has introduced a wide range of innovative products over times, including WAP, IVR, and InAPP based mobile payment services.

As China's leading provider of electronic financial services, 99Bill provides a comprehensive suite of electronic payment solutions that are actively used in 20 major industries, including airline, online and offline retail, insurance, education, logistics, etc. In 2011, the company obtained the six payment service licenses issued by the People's Bank of China, the most of any e-payment company in the industry.

Introduced at the CTIA Wireless 2012 trade show in New Orleans, eTrak devices are manufactured in America and are suitable for both the consumer and commercial markets. John Harris, eTrak CEO said, "The eTrak consumer products will provide safety, peace of mind and help save lives at a very affordable price. eTrak's commercial product line provides the first high-accuracy, affordable solution for businesses to provide safety and security for everything from employees to assets."

"Using the new patent-pending 'Hybrid Tracking' technology, eTrak devices are the new standard in location-based services," he said.

eTrak also features an emergency call button that sends texts and e-mails to pre-determined recipients with its exact location and the ability to receive turn-by-turn directions.

eTrak's software platform was recognized as the 2011 International CTIA "Best Enterprise & Vertical Market Solution: Mobile Marketing & Advertising." eTrak's domino-sized M2M devices are superior to competing products in accuracy and battery life, are much smaller, and weigh less than an ounce.  At $99 retail, eTrak products are priced significantly less than other similar products.

The devices are intended for use by anyone who is safety conscious - almost everyone - parents of young children, caregivers, the health-impaired (special needs, diminished capacity), senior citizens, pet owners, vehicle owners, businesses that need to track assets, members of the U.S. military and others.

The new products are:

    --  Location-Tracking Devices which are used to track the location of a
        person or object and can be worn on the wrist, ankle or around the neck.
        The products can be attached to a keyring, belt, backpack or shoelaces,
        or placed in a pocket, suitcase, car glove box or other places.
    --  E-911 Voice Call Device is a "panic button" product that dials 911
        directly when pressed, activates two-way dialogue via cellular
        communication with a 911 operator and generates and forwards the exact
        location of the device (to within 10 feet) on Bing Maps, with
        turn-by-turn directions to the device's location.
    --  Hard-wired Auto Device is a plug-and-play location-tracking product that
        connects to a vehicle port, operates on the vehicle's charging system,
        permanently mounts under the dash for concealed tracking and qualifies
        for insurance discounts.
These products employ "Learning Technology," which allows eTrak to recognize new Wi-Fi locations and map them to an existing, robust WAP database. The eTrak server then sends the position of the location-tracking device in real time, indoors or out. eTrak diverts to cell tower triangulation and GPS coordinates sequentially if a Wi-Fi location is unavailable.

The device is cellular-based for "follow me" coverage anywhere, not just around the home.

For example, eTrak products will allow concerned parents to track from any smartphone or computer the location of their child to and from school and at times when most abductions occur.

And "nearly nine out of 10 seniors in an AARP survey said they would ... give up some privacy if it allowed them to remain in their own homes longer," U.S. News and World Report said in a 2011 article.

"eTrak is an electronic guardian angel," Harris said. "It helps our customers do what they would like to do themselves if they could: Watch over their loved ones and possessions 24/7. These devices should be in every home, school and business in America and with our military service personnel overseas."

The retail price of eTrak Powered by Verizon is $99, with monthly service subscription rates of $8 to $15.

Manufactured in the United States, eTrak markets small, lightweight location-tracking devices that can be worn on the wrist, ankle, around the neck - or attached to a keyring, belt, backpack or shoelace. eTrak technology also allows for concealed storage such as in a pocket, vehicle glove box, suitcase, golf bag and many other applications.

Oce and Canon Fulfill Growing Mobile Workforce Needs for Cloud-based Scan, Forms Access and Print Solutions

TRUMBULL, Conn., May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Oce, a Canon Group Company and an international leader in digital document management, now offers a robust portfolio of web, cloud-based and mobile print solutions that enable users to scan, view and print documents via the cloud, access forms stored on a web server and print from mobile devices.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101018/CG84120LOGO)

"Corporations are faced with increasing requirements to support the consumerization of IT within their workplace as more workers use their own mobile devices at work to access and collaborate on documents," said John Reilly, President, Oce North America, Document Printing Systems. "The challenge of how to provide easy-to-use, productive and secure solutions, including the ability to print from mobile devices, can be daunting. Oce offers a variety of Canon solutions to meet these challenges and user needs."

For convenient access to cloud-based documents, Cloud Portal for imageRUNNER ADVANCE enables a Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE office system to connect directly to Google Docs or Microsoft SharePoint Online. With this solution, a user can access their Microsoft SharePoint Online and Google Docs accounts directly at the front panel display of a Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE office system. Documents can then be seamlessly scanned to, retrieved from, viewed and printed from Google Docs or SharePoint Online with a few simple touches on the MFP's front panel display. As a result, collaboration and productivity are improved as workers can access these document repositories from virtually anywhere in the enterprise that an imageRUNNER ADVANCE MFP is located.

"Canon U.S.A. is pleased to offer the Cloud Portal for imageRUNNER ADVANCE software to Oce customers to help address the demand for round-the-clock access to important documents by mobile workers," said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Marketing, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A.  "As cloud technology matures, the innovative hardware and carefully engineered software applications of the imageRUNNER ADVANCE office systems product line make them ideal products for cloud applications."

To enable customers to mitigate the maintenance of constantly stocking and updating regularly used forms, Oce's Form Central provides users access to a centrally located form repository. Form Central was created, using the Canon MFP web access solution, to enable users to access web-based form libraries containing their most commonly used forms, download the forms they need and print them on demand. Browsing the forms library and selecting the needed form is done through the operator panel and user interface of the imageRUNNER ADVANCE MFP. With Form Central, the burden of managing forms is greatly reduced and the waste of unused printed forms is eliminated since the most current version is always available and only printed when needed.

To allow users to print from smart phones, tablets or other mobile devices, EFI PrintMe enables users to submit print jobs through the web by sending an email with or without an attachment to print@printme.com. Once the print job is submitted to print@printme.com, a unique six-digit Document ID is returned to the user and the job is held securely on EFI's PrintMe Service. By entering the unique Document ID, the user can access and print at any imageRUNNER ADVANCE MFP that has the EFI PrintMe MEAP application installed, thereby improving information access and productivity.

For users looking to manage their own mobile print solution with the highest level of security, uniFLOW v5.1 is a print management/output management and workflow application that can fit any environment. As a mobile print solution, documents sent from a user via the uniFLOW iPhone app, a webpage or email (via any smartphone) can be retrieved at any uniFLOW-enabled MFP or printer either by logging in and releasing the document or releasing the document via the iPhone app or from a mobile webpage via any smartphone. uniFLOW v5.1's mobile print solution that is included with uniFLOW base server, coupled with the Statistics module, offers robust reporting to track user activity. When used with imageWARE Secure Audit Manager Express, companies have the added ability to archive each printed and scanned job for a secure audit trail and this combination of the solutions allows administrators to set up email notifications when a predetermined keyword is printed, scanned, faxed, copied or sent. This capability helps mitigate and identify the source of crucial information leaks as they occur. Administrators can also use the uniFLOW system to search the full text of all documents that have passed through an organization's imaging devices in any form by storing processed jobs within a document management system such as Microsoft SharePoint. uniFLOW v5.1 is also able to stop printing or scanning when it detects unauthorized printing or scanning of highly confidential files. With Canon's uniFLOW application, users receive top-of-the-line security, tracking/reporting, increased productivity and convenience in a modular package.

Availability
All of the above solutions are available now from Oce. Oce's sales and professional service teams are standing by to assist with site assessments and implement solutions that will seamlessly guide a company's evolution to the latest technology.

LSI to Demonstrate High-Availability Direct-Attached Storage Solutions for Windows Server Platforms

Simplifies high-availability (HA) storage solutions and redefines economics for cloud datacenter and SMB customers

MILPITAS, Calif., May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LSI Corporation (NYSE: LSI) announced it will demonstrate high-availability direct-attached storage (HA-DAS) solutions for Microsoft® Corp.'s Windows® Server platforms at the SCSI Trade Association (STA) Technology Showcase taking place May 9, 2012, at the Hyatt Hotel in Santa Clara, Calif.LSI's HA-DAS solutions are designed to provide small and medium-sized business (SMB) and cloud datacenter customers with continuous application uptime at a fraction of the cost and complexity of existing HA solutions.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120222/SF57952LOGO)

High-availability systems are essential to nearly all businesses regardless of size or industry. When systems running business-critical applications such as transaction processing, Web serving or electronic commerce are not accessible, the results can be lost revenue, lost productivity and reduced customer satisfaction.

"A critical goal of Windows Server 2012 is delivering high availability to a volume market, and LSI has been key in this effort," said Thomas Pfenning, general manager, File Server Foundation, Microsoft. "The combination of LSI® HA-DAS with Windows Server can provide SMBs and cloud datacenter providers with a low-cost and easy-to-manage option for meeting their high-availability requirements."

Traditional HA solutions ensure continuous application availability through server clustering and shared-node storage area network (SAN) connections that build redundancy into a cluster and eliminate single points of failure. LSI is pioneering HA-DAS solutions that lower the cost and complexity of HA solutions by providing fully redundant, shared-node storage and application failover without requiring storage networking hardware. LSI's HA-DAS solutions also reduce latency compared to SAN-based solutions, helping to accelerate storage I/O performance and speed applications.

"LSI HA-DAS solutions are designed to bring SAN-like shared storage and application failover capabilities to DAS environments to provide customers with a low-cost and easy-to-manage and -deploy solution for ensuring business-critical applications remain up and running during server failures," said Bill Wuertz, senior vice president and general manager, RAID Storage Division, LSI. "We're excited to be collaborating closely with Microsoft to bring HA-DAS solutions to the marketplace."

LSI is demonstrating its HA-DAS solutions based on leading MegaRAID® controller and intelligent HA-DAS technology. The demo utilizes two servers with two internal LSI MegaRAID controllers running HA-DAS firmware connected to twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS drives through an LSI SAS expander. The demo showcases how LSI HA-DAS solutions can bring simpler, lower-cost shared storage and failover capabilities to DAS environments.

Sonic Foundry Enhances Webcasting and Video Distribution with Mediasite 6.1 and Mediasite Desktop Recorder

New features mark a more holistic approach to user-generated content with recording at the desktop, approval workflows, search-based catalogs and unprecedented customization

MADISON, Wis., May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the trusted market leader for lecture capture, enterprise and event webcasting, todayunveiled several significant new Mediasite features at UNLEASH 2012, its sixth annual Mediasite User Conference.

The new functionality marks the most holistic and enterprise approach to creating, managing and distributing video-based instruction and user-generated content (UGC).

This evolution of the Mediasite EX webcasting and video content management system (VCMS) provides unprecedented control and flexibility for universities and enterprises with multiple content producers, featuring web-based tools and collaboration workflows to manage their growing online knowledge libraries.

Now from the convenience of their desktop or laptop, Mediasite users can also record rich media presentations, learning object or training modules that synchronize video with their visual aids and automatically upload to the powerful Mediasite EX platform.

New Mediasite features include:

    -
               Web-based Mediasite Desktop Recorder for user-
               generated content creation

               "The Mediasite Desktop Recorder will look better, be
               easier for our faculty and students to use and be
               easier for us to maintain than other software-based
               options. And because the Mediasite Desktop Recorder is
               a web client, our user-generated content will
               automatically upload to our Mediasite EX management
               platform. The app is just so easy to use, I know even
               our most tech-challenged staff are going to quickly
               adopt it."

              ~Brian Smith, IT Specialist, University of Florida

           -
               Collaboration workflows to review-edit-approve
               multimedia presentations before distributing

               "With more faculty requesting control over their own
               content, and with the University looking at creative
               ways to allow students to add presentations into our
               Angel LMS though Mediasite that are true works of
               academic content, it is important for us to have
               workflows identified that not only allow us to review,
               edit and approve presentations, but also maintain
               multiple revisions over time. Additionally, we want to
               be able to give our end users - no matter what their
               role is at the university - the feedback ability to
               help us manage content that has become dated. Lastly,
               we have been looking forward to a user-friendly
               playground to further explore user-generated content
               for playback both within and outside of our
               organization, and with Mediasite 6.1, we can automate
               and streamline how we publish these presentations
               through the approval pipeline.  We see this assisting
               us internally with in the Angel LMS and are excited
               about the possibilities of how it may also lend itself
               to our admissions department in the marketing of our
               university."

               ~Thomas Kemp, Director of Instructional Technology &
               Learning, Ashland University

           -
               Catalog creation based on search terms, enhanced mobile
               catalog navigation and analytics for individual catalog
               owners

               "As our Mediasite video library continues to grow, we
               find that different groups need to present custom
               playlists of presentations based on specific topics or
               themes. Allowing anyone in the organization to curate
               catalogs on the fly from search terms will have a big
               impact on our ability to customize the experience for
               different audiences and allow us to maximize our
               collection of on-demand rich media content."

              ~Scott Lawson, Director of IT Architecture, QAD Inc.

           -
               Mediasite Player customization, including the ability to
               change video, slide and thumbnails sizes

               "The NASA Safety Center uses Mediasite for technical
               training, and occasionally there's a need to increase
               the size of the slides being presented to enhance
               something that's very detailed on the screen. The
               ability to customize the player solves that problem.
               And, while the Mediasite Player is very streamlined and
               professional looking, we're looking forward to being
               able to customize it to work well with the brand of The
               NASA Safety Center."

               ~James D. May, Ph.D., ELearning Program Manager,
               Alphaport, Inc., supporting the NASA Safety Center

           -  Personalization of the Mediasite Management Portal

           -   Content import and management for MP4s generated by
               NCast(TM) and Camtasia Relay(R), in addition to current
               H.264 and Windows Media Video import capabilities

               Web-based Mediasite Editor, automatic software updates
               and data collection for Mediasite Recorders, plus
               dozens of workflow enhancements to the Mediasite
               Management Portal, Mediasite Analytics and Mediasite
           -   API
"To date, we engineered Mediasite as a room-based system that efficiently extracts and digitizes the knowledge shared every day, in classrooms or conference rooms. Once captured, this knowledge is then preserved, secured, distributed and analyzed, but always just a link away from anyone who needs it. With Mediasite 6.1, our new Mediasite Desktop Recorder and the evolution of our Mediasite EX VCMS, knowledge sharing can now happen anywhere, in an automated fashion, regardless of technology infrastructure or users' technical skills," said Gary Weis, chief executive officer of Sonic Foundry. "We took time to understand why current desktop offerings failed to deliver, and we identified key capabilities that we know are required for widespread adoption of user-generated content creation. Through that process, we eliminated much of the complexity that has kept online video from scaling effectively at an enterprise level. With the explosion of e-learning and massively open online courses or MOOCs, our clients are now eager to combine automated room-based recording with the market's easiest-to-use desktop capture, and thus fulfill the promise of online learning with a proven leader and scalable approach."

Mediasite 6.1 and the Mediasite Desktop Recorder will be available for demonstration at UBTech booth 301, June 11-13, and InfoComm booth C9141, June 13-15 in Las Vegas, Nevada

MokiMobility Enables Cloud-Based Mobile Device Management For Single-Purpose iPad, Android Tablets

+MDM by MokiMobility Helps ISVs, Developers and Solution Providers Turn the iPad and Android Tablets Into Manageable, Secure, Customizable Single-purpose Devices

LEHI, Utah, May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Using the new MokiMobility +MDM device management platform (generally available today), independent software vendors (ISVs), developers and solution providers can now integrate mobile device management features into tablet solutions for the iPad and Android tablets. As a result, these providers - and/or their customers - can remotely manage and customize iPads and Android devices to meet their individual needs, including locking the home button, removing unrelated applications and seamlessly pushing app updates to individual - or groups of - devices and applications, as needed.

"iPads and other mobile devices represent an economical way to engage customers in highly interactive ways - and an increasing number of retailers, hotels and even pharmaceutical companies have seen the value," said Tom Karren, CEO, MokiMobility. "Unfortunately, many single-purpose mobile deployments have failed or never gotten fully off the ground due to the inability - or difficulty - of locking down and remotely managing the devices. Until +MDM, deploying these devices and being able to remotely manage and customize them for these single-purpose uses has been out of reach."

Use Cases: Armor Active and Vablet

ArmorActive (ipadenclosures.com), based in Sandy, Utah, provides iPads and Android tablet enclosures and kiosks in commercial and public settings for such customers as the Gap, Guess Jeans, Specialized, BMW and Inter-Continental. ArmorActive released the new ActiveKiosk iOS kiosk solution using +MDM to enable remote management of both the iPad kiosk app and the iPad itself. +MDM unlocks the ability for ActiveKiosk customers to disable the home button, remove iPad apps that aren't relevant and push WiFi settings and app updates directly to the iPad remotely. Customers can also remotely update the kiosk app settings, including the home page URL, auto-wake schedule and browsing time limits, applying these settings to individual or groups of kiosks.

"We conducted extensive research to find a solution that would allow us to manage and customize these iPad kiosks from any location - and MokiMobility's +MDM was the only management solution that fit our deployment model and offered us the flexibility to bake in device management features with our remote kiosk app management solution," said Scott Paul, CEO of Armor Active.  "With +MDM, we're able to give our customers the ability to interact with individual kiosks in remote stores or upgrade every kiosk across every location at the same time, all from the cloud. It has made the difference between a successful and failed deployment for many of our customers."

Another MokiMobility partner, vablet®, provides digital signage solution to more than 5,000 medical and dental offices nationwide. The vablet custom content application is driven by Apple's iPod Touch devices mounted behind LCD TVs.

"The synergy we have experienced in working with the MokiMobility team brings an exciting development to our product vision," said Paul Pacun, CEO, vablet, who demonstrated the digital signage solution at the Tab Times Tablet Strategy in New York City last month.  "Using +MDM is a faster deployment experience for our clients as it streamlines device enrollment and app installation. The added security benefits of +MDM provide enhanced control over the device itself. +MDM is making it easier for us to scale our digital signage solution, as our clients often require thousands of devices for a single marketing campaign."

More on +MDM

MokiMobility provides the APIs and the web-based console to enable remote management of mobile applications and iOS and Android devices used as single-purpose devices, such as: kiosks, point-of-sale (POS), digital signage, sales tools and more. +MDM is a multi-tenant, cloud-based platform built on Google App Engine and able to service customers with as few as two devices up to tens of thousands.

About MokiMobility

New Phone Line Offers Unsurpassed Range and a Variety of Models - from Cellphone Convergence to Bundles for the Entire Home - to Match Every Consumer Need

BEAVERTON, Ore., May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced American Telephones (AAT), which manufactures AT&T-branded telephones under a license agreement with AT&T Intellectual Property, today announced availability of its new AT&T-branded DECT 6.0 cordless phones. The new AT&T line features popular Connect to Cell(TM) systems, multi-handset bundles and usability models, offering the best feature sets at competitive price points to deliver the robust functionality and high value consumers expect from the AT&T line.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120508/SF02601)

To ensure consumers never miss a word of the conversation, the 2012 AT&T phone line provides advanced features that help enhance sound and ensure clear reception, such as HD Audio with equalizer to match hearing preferences, and the TL and CL product lines have a range of up to 1,800 feet*, allowing users to have clear conversations over a greater distance.

"Each year, we strive to deliver more functionality, which is what consumers depend on in AT&T home phone products," said Matt Ramage, senior vice president, product management, Advanced American Telephones. "Our 2012 line is attractively priced, while offering more features to provide great value to consumers."

The Best of Both Worlds - Answer Cellphone and Landline Calls on one Home Phone System

The AT&T TL96271 Connect to Cell system offers consumers the freedom of making and receiving cellular calls through a home phone system to help mitigate the problems of poor cellular call clarity and dropped calls typically associated with cellular phone use at home. In addition, this virtual two-line phone system enables one person to make landline calls on one handset, while another person makes cellular calls on the other handset. Users also can download their cellphone directories (up to 6,000 entries) onto the home phone system and pair up to four different BLUETOOTH® wireless technology-enabled cellphones with the TL96271 system.

The TL96271 also features unsurpassed range and HD audio with an equalizer function that includes four preset audio profiles to better match the user's preferences. For added convenience, the TL96271's Caller ID Announce feature helps users easily screen calls without picking up the handset, and push-to-talk (PTT) allows instant communication throughout the home. PTT enables instant voice delivery through the handset speakerphone for household and office announcements or for one-to-one conversations with someone in another room. The AT&T TL96271 cordless phone is available at telephones.att.com and at major retail stores such as Walmart, Best Buy and others.

AT&T CL82301: 2011's Best-Selling AT&T Cordless Phone Remains in the Lineup for 2012

With up to 45 percent farther range than similarly equipped phones, the AT&T CL82301 three-handset phone system offers versatility with capability to expand up to 12 handsets and provides speakerphone functionality on every handset for easier use.  It features both Caller ID Announce, which helps identify callers audibly, and Caller ID on the handset display, ensuring there is no guesswork about incoming calls.

The CL82301 phone system also includes PTT functionality for instant communication within the home or business, making it ideal for home-based businesses, small offices and larger families.  Other key features include storage of up to 50 names/numbers in the Caller ID history and up to 14 minutes of digital recording time.  The AT&T CL82301 cordless phone is priced at $79.95 and comes in different bundles of two handsets (CL82201 at $59.95) and four handsets (CL82401 at $99.95).  It is available at telephones.att.com and at major retail stores such as Target, Staples, Office Max and others.

AT&T CRL32102: Easy to Use and Enhanced Functionality

Headlining AT&T's Usability Series, the new CRL32102 makes it easier than ever for consumers to make the most of telephone technology with an intuitive interface, easy-to-read displays and special features that enable home phone use more comfortable and enjoyable. Blending style and simplicity, the CRL32102 brings an array of features that enhance the user experience, such as an audio boost feature that temporarily increases volume to 12db to better hear conversations in challenging environments, an ergonomic handset designed for comfort and better grip, a sizeable backlit keypad for easy dialing, and large LCDs on each handset to easily read Caller ID and the 50 names and numbers from the phonebook directory. The phone system also offers lighted visual ringers on the handset and base, and Caller ID Announce for visual and auditory call notification.

The CRL32102 is equipped with HD Audio, allows for the adjustment of hearing controls to match personal tastes via the four preset audio profiles in the equalizer, and features a comfortable ear seal on the handsets for optimal sound quality. Users can talk hands-free with the handset speakerphone on each of the handsets, and the system can expand to up to 12 handsets, ensuring a phone is accessible in any room of the house. The answering system on the base offers an intuitive interface for easy operation and features a slow playback function, which reduces the playback speed of voice messages by 30 percent.

The CRL32102 single-handset phone system is $49.95 and sold through Best Buy, and the CRL32202 two-handset phone system is $69.95 and sold at RadioShack.

Car Town Zooms Into the Toy Aisle with GreenLight Collectibles

Cie Games' Popular Facebook Game Has New Toy Line Premiering This Fall

LONG BEACH, Calif., May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cie Games, a successful social game developer and creator of the leading automotive-based Facebook game, Car Town, announced today a collaboration with GreenLight Collectibles, a premier manufacturer of high quality collectibles and specialty lines for INDYCAR and many others, to create and merchandise Car Town branded toy cars based on the popular game.

From classic and sporty to muscle cars, the toy line will feature something for every car enthusiast and Car Town fan.  Some of the cars that will be released at launch include 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, 1970 Plymouth Superbird, 2003 Jeep Wrangler, and 1957 Chevy Bel Air.

"Car Town's creative game play features and Cie Games' authentic approach to developing the vehicles and graphics within the game will translate very well to our new line of mini pull-back vehicles," commented Kevin Davey, Founder of GreenLight Collectibles.  "Our two-speed pull-backs will bring the cars featured in the game to life with vehicles that are fun to play with and collect."

    --  Enables consumers to browse smartphone applications through an
        interactive interface. With XQ AppStream, retailers can curate apps
        according to themes and uniquely display them, thus becoming a "trusted
        advisor" or source of recommendations for consumers.
    --  Engages consumers in-store by providing them with an entertaining
        experience and educational product content.
    --  Attracts consumers into the store and creates customer loyalty by
        displaying apps, clustered according to areas of interest. Staff picks
        encourage customers to return to the store to see which apps are most
        popular.
XQ Browse for iPad - a virtual product catalog that offers in-depth information on available devices, rate plans, accessories and feature add-ons via an in-store touchscreen display or handheld tablet. Now available for iPad, XQ Browse gives retailers even more flexibility for empowering customers and staff with on-demand product information.

    --  Provides retailers with a mobile sales aid and training tool. Staff can
        carry the iPad with them anywhere in the store to walk consumers through

        displays and free standing kiosks.

        informed purchase decision.
    --  Creates a unique shopping experience, allowing consumers to drill down

        selecting a device, rate plan, features, and accessories. Consumers can
        either send their shopping list to the point-of-sale for convenient
        checkout or scan a system-generated QR code to save their shopping list
        to their smartphone.
PocketRQ Inventory - allows retail staff to efficiently perform inventory counts by scanning items in the back of house and checking stock availability while in the front of house.

        with the ability to quickly check inventory stock for requested items,

        the tools they need to check stock up front. More importantly, it keeps
        them accessible to customers as they do so.

        employees to quickly and accurately count serialized and non-serialized
        products, eliminating errors and re-counts.
