Beyond the Gadgets at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show

IEEE Experts Identify Global Trends for the Consumer Electronics Industry

PISCATAWAY, N.J., Jan. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As the dust settles from the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, NV, technologists from around the world have gathered at the IEEE International Consumer Electronics Conference (ICCE) to discuss what's next for consumer electronics. This annual event is one of the industry's flagship conferences known for unveiling a plethora of impressive innovations and highlighting upcoming developments. These futuristic concepts are often brought to life within a few years of their debut at ICCE.

While researchers discuss new innovations and technologies for the consumer electronics industry, IEEE experts highlight the trends from CES 2012 that will dictate the product development cycles of companies all around the world. 

Ubiquitous, Nonstop Connectivity
With consumer connectivity demands growing exponentially around the world, companies are focused on manufacturing devices that connect and seamlessly share content and information, while ensuring products are upgradeable and compatible with other brands.

While Internet-connected devices aren't new, their increased connection capabilities are growing, and changing the way society works as a whole. "A fully connected society will require a shift in the way people work, think and live," said Dr. Henry Samueli, IEEE Fellow and chief technical officer at Broadcom Corporation. "It's not just about the device itself; it's about connecting all the devices together and sharing content. In a few years, all consumer electronic products will be able to share content - quickly and seamlessly - in a way that is transparent to the user."

Watch Dr. Henry Samueli discuss connectivity on IEEE's YouTube page.

Cloud-Based Applications
With the massive shift to constant connectivity and seamless mobility, there is an urgent need for data storage. It's no surprise that technology companies and service providers are turning to the cloud for increased storage and computing power, given an almost unlimited capacity.

"Cloud-based services are able to process and access information that would otherwise be impractical to achieve on a small, under-powered device," said Stuart Lipoff, IEEE Fellow.  "By taking advantage of powerful servers and the wealth of information in the cloud, the little battery powered device in your pocket takes on the power of a super-computer." 

The role of consumer electronics continues to diversify and grow because of cloud-based applications.  Engineers are able to make advancements in technologies that benefit consumers, including home healthcare devices, intelligent transportation, and streaming video.  Lipoff predicts new applications such as pattern recognition and various forms of artificial intelligence, including facial recognition, will be among the product features consumers can expect in the future.

Watch Stuart Lipoff discuss the growth of cloud-based applications on IEEE's YouTube page.

Streaming Web-Based Video
A large number of consumers around the globe already access and consume video entertainment via the web. According to Richard Doherty, IEEE Senior Member, 2012 will serve as a tipping point for online video consumption - when even more households will have access to streaming video.

According to Doherty, streaming video is doing very well in geographies across the globe that have access to broadband, and exceptionally well in Eastern European and Asian markets where streaming video is now becoming the standard format for delivery of content. 

The upswing in web-based video streaming can be credited to the widespread availability of video-capable internet TVs and external devices," said Doherty.  "These devices include video consoles and innovative, optimized net streaming boxes."

Watch Richard Doherty discuss the tipping point for video entertainment on the web in 2012 and how it will impact businesses and consumers on IEEE's YouTube page.

Intelligent Transportation
Safer, faster, more convenient transportation is a growing trend impacting commuters and consumers worldwide. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) focus on the use of ordinary devices (such as a cell phone or GPS) that are enabled with built-in custom software so cars and buses can "communicate" with roadways and transportation systems.

Developments in consumer electronics for ITS are leading to a future where the technology can help provide a more streamlined traffic flow, better usage of energy resources and fewer vehicular accidents.  As such, car companies are partnering with internet software companies to provide innovative technical advances at the touch of a button on a steering wheel.

"Consumers everywhere will benefit from the advancement of ITS," said IEEE Senior Member Alberto Broggi. "Vehicles will be able to monitor their surroundings and warn drivers of pedestrians, traffic patterns, and other vehicles, resulting in safer commuting. Advanced sensors will allow vehicles to detect and warn drivers of any immediate stops or dangers in the way of the vehicle, which can significantly decrease the likelihood of vehicle accidents."

Automated Metadata
Dr. Tom Coughlin, IEEE Senior Member, predicts devices that automatically aggregate and generate data such as location and time stamp information will continue to rise in popularity, helping consumers catalogue their experiences. 

"When consumers take photographs or capture video or audio, they will be able to archive and access their information more easily," said Coughlin.   "The device will capture precisely where and when the photo or video was taken, and the format it was taken in, for quick and easy access. In the future, we'll see that technology advance even further with the use of social networking interactions and image recognition technology creating new searchable content to enhance the value of the images."

Automated metadata, or information about the data, will become more common as increased storage capabilities become available, such as those provided through cloud-based applications. 

Watch Dr. Tom Coughlin discuss the growth of cloud-based applications from the CES show floor on IEEE's YouTube page.

Convergence ofHome Networking Technologies
Being able to leverage various home networking technologies to create seamless and reliable "always on" connectivity is something consumers can expect to see more of this year.

According to Oleg Logvinov, IEEE Standards Association Member, 2012 will mark the beginning of a new trend: the convergence of home networking technologies. This will enable a rich consumer experience providing the ability to use various types of devices to access multimedia content. Additionally, users will have an easy-to-use interface for home automation and energy management applications.

"As our technologies become unified, consumers will be given the ability to monitor energy usage as a part of their daily routine," said Logvinov.  "This function will become an integral part of the user experience, allowing them to modify their behavior to become more energy efficient."

Watch Oleg Logvinov discuss the growth of home technologies from the CES show floor on IEEE's YouTube page.

In addition to devices being connected within the home, IEEE Senior Member Nahum Gershon adds, "We will see more companies leveraging social media with mobile devices to connect people at work across organizational and geographical boundaries. Some organizations are already using these capabilities to varying degrees, connecting people to work and connecting the company to its vendors and customers."

Watch Nahum Gershon discuss the the consumerization of IT from the CES show floor on IEEE's YouTube page.

"IEEE is one of the leading organizations driving what's next in the consumer electronics landscape," said Gordon Day, IEEE President and CEO.  "The technologies our members discuss, develop and showcase at ICCE provide the inspiration that transforms into the products that are released at CES every year."

Amerlux Establishes Energy Services Group; Appoints Paul Ravenelle Regional Director of Sales

Helps Retailers Reduce Energy Consumption, Gain Incentives and Upgrade Lighting

FAIRFIELD, N.J., Jan. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Developed as a turnkey program that helps retail customers dramatically reduce energy consumption and costs while updating their lighting programs, Amerlux has established an Energy Services Group. Amerlux, a leader of task-specific, energy-efficient lighting solutions for the retail, supermarket, commercial and hospitality markets, has appointed Paul Ravenelle Regional Director of Sales, to head-up the group.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120118/NY36894LOGO )

Amerlux Energy Services, which was developed for retail customers such as supermarkets and national chains, enables specialists to conduct physical audits of their lighting plan and create a benchmark that identifies fixtures, lamping and wattages used. Using delta calculations, a complete energy efficient lighting plan and layout is created featuring Energy Star® rated commercial lighting fixtures that are retrofitted on existing tracks. New luminaires offer comparable light levels and beam performance, with significantly lower wattages and reductions in energy costs and maintenance.  After managing the specification, delivery and installation of new energy efficient fixtures, Amerlux submits all paperwork to utility companies; oversees communications, pre- and post-installation audits; and determines all incentives, and if customers assign incentives to Amerlux, the company will assume all incentive payment risk from the utilities.

"The establishment of our new Energy Services Group is part of our overall strategic plan to further support our retail customers with innovative lighting solutions," stated Frank P. Diassi, Chairman and Founder of Amerlux. "This new service reduces energy expenditures associated with accent lighting by 50-70 percent and replaces older conventional lighting with the latest energy efficient technology for at least a decade by implementing our 10 year warranty."

Within the past 90 days, Amerlux has already worked with one grocery retailer, pinpointing 150 store locations for retrofits and working with a dozen different utilities to earn incentives totaling over $2.5 million and toplined their lighting budget by 650 percent to fully equip their stores with brand-new energy efficient lighting. The entire retail banner was completely retrofitted with updated lighting technology.

"By leveraging the existing infrastructures of each store, we replace old fixtures with new state-of-the-art, energy efficient luminaires," says Chuck Campagna, CEO and President of Amerlux.  "Paul and the Energy Services team help customers discover the best formula to gain energy incentives and expand their cost benefits model to get projects done."

Amerlux used its Energy Star® rated Contour LED lighting system to take a different approach to providing crisp, warm light ideally suited for use in accent and display spaces. While they provide the long life and efficiency retailers and commercial end-users have long sought to control maintenance and operating costs, the fixtures were designed to do so with an eye toward being fashionable - and efficient - in their own right. Contour offers LED clusters with color temperatures of 2700K, 3000K 3500K and 4000K CCT, while delivering high outputs up to 1300 lumens and a strong 92 CRI (color rendering index) at 12 to 40 watts.

Prior to joining Amerlux, Mr. Ravenelle most recently served as Executive Vice President of Operations for Performance Consulting Group, Director of Business Development for Fiberstars/Energy Focus, Regional Director of Business Development for Ameresco, and Regional Director for Noresco.

"Re-lamping is eliminated for 10 years and customers receive new 'as-built' documents that precisely identify all of the new lighting equipment in each and every store," Mr. Campagna continued. "By assuming the risk and responsibility of the retailer's incentive program, we deliver a quick, efficient payback that allows customers to push their budget constraints and completely upgrade their lighting plan with LED technologies."

About Amerlux LLC

Amerlux speaks the language of light for design and construction professionals around the world by manufacturing a broad array of optically superior, energy efficient lighting solutions for the retail, supermarket, hospitality, commercial and outdoor lighting markets.  The company has set the standard for clean design, dependable service and superior performance that results in a more compelling and effective visual environment. Amerlux products and services include track lighting, recessed downlighting and multiples, pendants, linear fluorescents, and custom lighting systems, as well as support for energy reduction plans that can be used as a guide to state, city and local utility programs for maximum energy savings and utility incentives.  The company's domestic and international clients receive the support of Amerlux's highly trained specification sales force, as well as expert service from initial design to on-time delivery made possible by strategically located manufacturing, warehousing and shipping locations.

Still University (ATSU), Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health (ASDOH) to devise a series of text message programs designed to reach, educate, and remind current patients and the underserved, to promote preventative and ongoing health and wellness initiatives. ATSU will be represented at the upcoming AEEDC Dubai 2012 UAE international dental conference later this month.

The pilot Text2Floss project was founded by  Tony S. Hashemian, D.D.S. , Assistant Dean to Global Oral Health at ASDOH, who explained, "The Mission of the Global Oral Health program at Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health is to create Global Oral Health Solutions through improving oral health, leadership development, innovation, dental education, new technology, and the promotion of peace through collaboration and the provision of compassionate care to the underserved locally and worldwide."

Dr. Hashemian continued, "Health and wellness organizations are in need of a mobile solution that turns the already ubiquitous SMS text messaging medium into a powerful, HIPAA-compliant communications tool; enabling healthcare organizations and vendors to communicate patient data and other medical information via secure text messaging to clinicians' and patients' mobile devices."

CellTrust's founder and CEO, Sean Moshir, added, "With a secure SMS solution, organizations are able to send and receive text messages with real-time Protected Health Information (PHI) from personal mobile phones, web-portal interfaces, email exchange servers, electronic medical records, customer relationship management systems, lab systems, and other applications."

By directly providing physicians and clinicians with required patient information to make informed decisions, a secure SMS solution improves the quality of healthcare with decreased response times and accurate decision-making, allowing for quicker interventions and improved patient outcome.

    --  Provides secure end-to-end encryption that meets the highest
        international security standards
    --  Provides each handset with its own unique decryption key which is always
        changing based on policy
    --  Allows you to push security policies directly to the handset
    --  Provides communication over SMS control channel (resilient and supported
        by all global operators)
    --  Includes delivery, open and delete acknowledgement
    --  Enables messages up to 5,000 characters
    --  Includes Message Life, which determines life span of message
    --  Provides optional message archiving for reporting and compliancy

New Survey Provides Insights from Users of Over 100 Restaurant Point of Sale Systems

Over 1,500 Independent Restaurateurs Reveal Virtues and Shortcomings of Their Existing POS System

HOUSTON, Jan. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- RestaurantOwner (http://www.RestaurantOwner.com), a membership website for independent restaurant operators, has released, on their website, the results of a detailed survey of their members' experiences with their current point of sale systems. Over 1,500 individual independent operators participated and provided detailed feedback on over 100 different POS systems.

Choosing a point of sale system is considered to be one of the most important decisions any restaurant operator makes. With the average cost of a POS system approaching the $20,000 mark, it's not only an expensive decision but one that affects ongoing restaurant operations in several crucial areas.

A POS system should be one of a restaurant's most important assets by providing cash and inventory controls, improved speed of service, better decision-making and even sales growth opportunities. This survey confirms that if properly chosen, a POS can potentially pay for itself in a matter of months. But conversely, selecting the wrong system or one from the wrong vendor can become a source of operational problems and ongoing frustration for the operator for years to come.

Survey results indicate a strong correlation between the operators' degree of overall satisfaction with their POS system and their relationship with the POS vendor.

"Operators that had good experiences with respect to vendor training and support, be it online or on site, generally reported they were pleased with their POS choice," said Joe Erickson, Vice President of RestaurantOwner.com.

Survey questions captured operator responses regarding their POS system's ease-of-use, programmability and reliability. Participants also rated the quality of vendor training and ongoing support as well as common POS features such as reporting, timekeeping and inventory control.

In addition, many survey participants provided extensive comments about their experiences with the functional aspects of their POS system and the quality of the vendor training and support they received.

For more information on the Restaurant POS Survey results, go to http://www.RestaurantOwner.com/survey.htm.

HARROGATE, England, January 18, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

            Managed network services from InTechnology delivers guaranteed network

                        connectivity and enhanced IT productivity

    The Cumberland Building Society has turned to cloud services provider InTechnology to
upgrade its existing wide area network (WAN) to deliver improved performance and free up
IT resource so it can focus on delivering customer service excellence.

    InTechnology will now provide the equipment, management and support for the
Cumberland's corporate network which serves 33 branches of the building society and two
Cumberland Estate Agent branches in the North West of England and South West of Scotland.

    InTechnology's proactive approach to managing and supporting the network has proved
particularly beneficial outside of business hours as the building society's cash machines
have to be available around the clock, seven days a week.

    Gary Richardson, assistant general manager for IT at Cumberland Building Society said:
"Right from the initial pilot study, InTechnology knocked the socks off everyone else.
They understood our needs, provided a commercially viable solution and have offered
stellar support throughout our partnership.

    "InTechnology ticked every one of our boxes. They were cost-effective, offered
improved bandwidth, gave us excellent support and future-proofed the service."

    Natalie Duffield, sales director, InTechnology said: "With our team looking after the
network, the Cumberland's IT staff are free to concentrate on front-end operations. The
Cumberland now has the high quality, resilient network service it needs to deliver better
connectivity and support its customer service goals.

    "These improvements have also been implemented while achieving cost savings over the
building society's previous network."

    Following a rigorous tender and pilot project, InTechnology was contracted by
Cumberland to supply and manage an MPLS-based WAN incorporating its branches and head
office, an Internet pipe to the head office offering 24x7 high-speed broadband access, and
ADSL circuits to the core network.

    Looking to the future, the Cumberland plans to enhance its network yet further by
installing a new router from InTechnology with 3G fallback capability to help improve
network recovery at all sites.

    About InTechnology:

    InTechnology (http://www.intechnology.co.uk) is one of the UK's leading service
providers and delivers Cloud-based services to over 800 public and private sector
businesses across the UK. It has an unrivalled mix of skills embracing Network, Hosting,

Latest 3D DOCOMO Smartphone by Sharp Uses Assertive Display Technology for Improved Outdoor Viewability and Reduced Battery Consumption

LONDON, January 18, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Apical [http://www.apical.co.uk ] is pleased to announce that one of the latest
smartphones in Japan, the docomo with series AQUOS PHONE SH-01D by Sharp, uses Apical's
Assertive Display technology to optimize the performance of its display.

    The handset, which goes on sale in Japan this month for the carrier DOCOMO and
incorporates a 4.5" HD (1280 x 720) autostereoscopic 3D touchscreen, is the latest in
Sharp's successful AQUOS PHONE series.

    The SH-01D uses Apical's Assertive Display technology as part of its advanced power
saving and outdoor viewing functions, which are key to optimizing the performance of the
handset for multimedia viewing.

    Traditionally, providing a good viewing experience outdoors and saving battery power
have been considered contradictory requirements, even though both are central to
delivering a high quality multimedia experience on a mobile device.

    Assertive Display by Apical solves both central requirements simultaneously, enabling
multimedia content to be viewed even in bright sunshine on standard displays, and
extending battery life by reducing display power significantly.

    Said Michael Tusch, CEO of Apical: "We have been working with Sharp for several years
and were very impressed by the way in which Sharp was able rapidly to grasp how to use our
unique technology. Sharp has again produced a great product which raises the bar worldwide
for smartphone multimedia performance."

    Apical's Assertive Display is a semiconductor IP core which adapts multimedia content
to the display capabilities under actual viewing conditions. It takes into account both
the screen brightness and the amount of light in the environment to adjust in real time
the appearance of movies, photos and games for optimal viewability. It leverages a
decade's research and development by Apical into the way the human eye adapts to changes
in the lighting environment to give a seamless and high-quality experience to the user.
The Assertive Display core is integrated into Sharp's proprietary media processor.

    About Apical

    Apical is a leader in advanced image and video processing technology for embedded
applications. The company's products are derived from original research into the human
visual system and are designed to maximize the performance of a wide range of image
capture and display devices. Apical works primarily with leading OEMs and semiconductor
manufacturers for whom high-performance imaging is a key differentiator.

RS Components eCommerce Website Addresses Common Failings of Pan-European B2B Websites

OXFORD, England, January 18, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

            Independent survey finds first-class online experience trumps customer

                                         loyalty

    RS Components (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents plc (LSE:ECM), the world's
leading high service distributor of electronics and maintenance products, has revealed
that its new eCommerce website is meeting customers' online expectations where most
pan-European B2B websites fail. A recent independent survey commissioned by RS showed that
the majority of B2B customers will switch to a competitive site if they are on a slow or
unreliable website.

    Today's customers expect the same experience on B2B websites as they do on consumer
sites, in particular a fast response that gives relevant and timely information. The
independent survey of 350 B2B website users in the UK, France, Germany and Italy was
conducted to understand their expectations. The results highlight that the new RS
eCommerce website has addressed all the common failings of B2B websites.

    A key finding was that website performance trumps customer loyalty every time, with
two thirds of the sample having no qualms about switching allegiance to a competitive site
and over a third being less likely to make a purchase if a website is performing poorly.
Moreover, nearly a quarter of the sample would switch to an alternative website straight
away. This illustrates the damage a poor B2B website can do to a company's revenues and
brand.

    The survey found that two of the main bugbears of poorly performing websites are a
slow response and a lack of relevant content. These were the main focus of the recent
transformation of the RS website, with a new intelligent product search feature and
superior browsing capability giving customers faster and easier access to over 550,000
products.

    Keith Reville, General Manager eCommerce at Electrocomponents, said: "We want to
ensure that RS customers enjoy the best and most relevant online experience. These results
highlight the importance of providing a fast website with a superb search function that
delivers accurate, relevant information to users first time, every time. These
cornerstones of our eCommerce strategy are helping us to elevate the online customer
experience of our sector to the best levels of any industry, as evidenced by our recent
awards in this space."

    About RS Components

    RS Components and Allied Electronics are the trading brands of Electrocomponents plc,
the world's leading high service distributor of electronics and maintenance products.
Through operations in 32 countries and 17 warehouses, the Group serves 1.6 million
customers worldwide and distributes 550,000 products ranging from semiconductors and
optoelectronics to power tools and protective clothing. The product and service portfolio

Dynamic Recording Artist Kerli Launches Personal Blog on Buzznet

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Buzznet, the web's largest social magazine written for youth by youth, is thrilled to announce a partnership with Estonian recording artist Kerli. Known for her positive message and eclectic "Bubble Goth" style, Kerli will now call Buzznet home for her official blog at kerli.buzznet.com.  Fans can communicate directly with the artist and read the latest updates from Kerli herself, making her relationship with her fans across the globe stronger and more intimate than ever before.

Speaking directly to her fans, Kerli said, "The MoonChild Academy is moving to Buzznet. We've already shared quite an amazing journey so far, but I know it's only going to get better. I am so proud to know all of you -- smart, creative and kind -- and am so honored to be one of the Moon Children.  I hope you're ready for the ride, I know I sure am."

The blog not only focuses on her everyday life, but is a community where fans can share thoughts and ideas and have a direct connection with Kerli - all on a personal level. Utilizing Buzznet's unique publishing and community tools, fans can use their own Buzznet profiles to contribute content inspired by Kerli, comment on posts, send messages to Kerli, discover and follow likeminded bloggers and more.  Frequent giveaways, DIY tutorials and a weekly advice column are just a few of the features fans can expect, making her new blog a special and personal experience for followers.

"Kerli has been part of the Buzznet community since headlining our South by Southwest party last year," said Annie Fox, Buzznet's General Manager.  "We have stayed close to her and her team ever since, so this partnership is a natural next step in the relationship we've been building. We are thrilled to officially welcome her to the Buzznet family, and we know her fans are too."

Hailing from Elva, Estonia, a tiny, then-Soviet occupied town of 5,000 people in the forest, Kerli always dreamed that her passion for music and performing would allow her to break out of her restricted origins and literally change the world.  Her journey began when, at 14, she competed in and won the Baltic's version of "American Idol," which ultimately led to her signing with Island Def Jam.  Since then, she has received prestigious awards and millions of video views, held the #1 position on the Billboard dance charts and garnered over 200,000 Facebook fans. She was also handpicked by Tim Burton to appear on the Alice in Wonderland soundtrack.  In addition to being a celebrated artist and performer, she is also a sought after songwriter.  Her recent credits include Demi Lovato's hit single "Skyscraper."  Kerli is now primed for huge success as she and her label gear up for her long-anticipated 2012 album release.

Buzznet is the web's largest social magazine and music lifestyle community created for its members by its members. Published, read and loved by millions of young people ages 12-24, Buzznet's vibrant and creative audience is addicted to the latest music, fashion, movies, books, art, celebrity, and other pop culture topics.

Mobile Community mig33 to Launch New Miniblog as the "Fast, Fun, Social" Centerpiece of Community

Twitter, Sina's Weibo, and Tumblr Serve as Models for New mig33 Offering; Company Looks to Build on 2011 Numbers, Drive New User Growth

SINGAPORE, Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Thirty days after its limited release, mig33 -- one of the world's largest mobile communities - is set to launch a new mig33 miniblog as the centerpiece of mig33.

Over the next few months, the miniblog service (http://b.mig33.com) will transition from beta, where it has already garnered over 300,000 daily active users, and will be integrated with mig33's third-party games, chat, profiles and avatars, making mig33 a unique proposition compared with other social internet services such as Facebook, Twitter, Sina's Weibo, and Tumblr and their offerings in emerging markets.

Unlike the others, mig33 is focused on delivering a fun, fast and social service and includes features such as levels, badges, labels, virtual gifts, avatars, emoticons, games and other experiences directly within the miniblog itself.

"We believe that the proposition posed by Sina's Weibo is applicable to other emerging markets," said Steven Goh, mig33 co-founder and CEO.  "Users want to escape the restrictions of the 'real world identity' orientation of Facebook and want a far more flexible identity model, and frankly, a more fun and playful service."

mig33's miniblog service comes along with a broadening of mig33's client range.  Traditionally offered on a more narrow J2ME client, mig33 is now widely available on Android, Blackberry, WAP, and web clients.  The company intends to offer more and updated clients in coming months.

Based in Singapore, mig33 is now one of the largest social entertainment services in emerging markets, with over 55 million registered users.  mig33 is extremely popular South and South East Asia, and has a substantial and growing presence across the Middle East and parts of Eastern Europe.

In 2011, mig33 delivered over 300 billion messages and over 185 million virtual gifts.  The company began launching a stream of third-party games in August, and has since been able to deliver over 300,000 daily active users to developers.

"We have taken our inspiration from a number of East Asian social entertainment services, made it uniquely our own, and applied it to emerging markets that we believe offer more than 500 million new customers," said Goh.  "We also have a unique monetisation engine in our community of merchants, or party hosts, and believe that the mig33 miniblog will drastically broaden our monetisation options."

Goh began discussing mig33's new vision while at at the prestigious PTC'12, an annual conference hosted by the Pacific Telecommunications Council in Honolulu.

About mig33

mig33 is the world's largest mobile-first social entertainment service, connecting over 50 million registered members around the world with chat and entertainment everyday, and hosting a fast-growing virtual economy. Launched in late 2005, mig33 is backed by Silicon Valley venture firms Accel Partners, Redpoint Ventures and DCM, GREE Inc. and many others. For more information, visit http://www.mig33.com.

Anritsu and OML Inc. Introduce Millimeter-Wave Spectrum Analysis Solution for Wideband Communication Systems

RICHARDSON, Texas, Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Anritsu Company and OML Inc. introduce a millimeter-wave (mm-wave) solution that features industry-leading sensitivity and dynamic range, for spectrum and signal analysis of emerging wideband communications systems. The Anritsu MS2830A Signal Analyzer, when coupled with the OML MxxHWD harmonic mixer, offers mm-wave frequency coverage from 26.5 GHz to 325 GHz. Using these new capabilities, engineers can evaluate, characterize and manufacture products designed for emerging wideband standards, such as WiGig, including FCC Part 15 compliance emission testing requirements from 40 GHz to 200 GHz.

The MS2830A has an innovative external mixer design that achieves impressive, best-in-class dynamic range. Utilizing an intermediate frequency (IF) of 1.875 GHz (IF Output with 1 GHz bandwidth) and LO range of 5 GHz to 10 GHz, the MS2830A can reduce the multiplier magnitude necessary for mm-wave coverage. Lower multipliers improve the conversion loss of the external mixer, which increases the MS2830A's sensitivity, allowing the Signal Analyzer to measure low-level mm-wave signals. Using this configuration, the MS2830A can measure E-band (60-90 GHz, WR-12) with better DANL (nominal -120 dBm/Hz @ 80 GHz) based on typical external mixer conversion loss of 36 dB, which represents a minimum 4-8 dB improvement over existing solutions.

"OML delivers the innovative harmonic mixer technology that uniquely qualifies it for plug-and-play compatibility with our external mixer capabilities. The combined solution offers unprecedented capabilities that engineers can utilize to advance wideband communications systems," said Wade Hulon, Vice President and General Manager, Anritsu Americas.

"With the MS2830A, Anritsu offers outstanding performance, as well as innovative modulation capabilities that mm-wave engineers will appreciate to analyze emerging signals. This new mm-wave solution demonstrates our commitment to deliver innovative instrumentation for next-generation applications," said Yuenie Lau, Vice President of Operations, OML.

The MxxHWD harmonic mixer, based on a single diode design, is available in waveguide bands from 26.5 GHz to 325 GHz.  The harmonic mixer is a two-port frequency extension product with a mm-wave interface for DUT connection and RF interface for LO/IF connectivity with the Signal Analyzer. The mm-wave connection is compatible with MIL-DTL-3922/67D (UG387/U-M) waveguide flanges. Additional bias features can further optimize signal levels, including flatness.

The MS2830A includes a high-performance, low-cost spectrum analyzer function for measuring up to 325 GHz using an external mixer, such as the MxxHWD. The MS2830A has five different models from 3.6 GHz to 43 GHz, with two external mixers (26.5 GHz and 43 GHz) for the higher frequency models. Industry-leading measurement speed, as well as the top RF specifications for DANL of -144 dBm/Hz @ 40 GHz and third-order intermodulation distortion (TOI) of +13 dBm @ 40 GHz (nominal) provide unmatched price/performance.

About OML

OML Inc, located in the Silicon Valley of California, is a premier supplier of innovative millimeter and sub-millimeter wave frequency extension products and accessories for vector network analyzers, scalar network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, converters, and signal generators. Since 1994, our solutions have empowered engineers in R&D and manufacturing to pursue opportunities in emerging applications spanning radio astronomy, communication, semiconductors, imaging, space research, biomedical, and homeland security. We collaborate with engineers throughout the world to develop "Innovation in Millimeter Wave Measurements."

Heavenly Pop Single from NPR Favorite Lee Feldman: 'Halo' Released on iTunes from Forthcoming 'Album No. 4 . . . '

"Lee Feldman uses a Tin Pan Alley bounce to make twisted or troubled situations sound like parlor songs."-New York Times

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- After a six year hiatus, Brooklyn singer-songwriter-pianist Lee Feldman returns with 'Album No. 4: Trying to Put the Things Together that Never Been Together Before' [to be released May 1st] - a masterpiece of lyrical precision and extraordinary musical depth, with arrangements that effortlessly span Randy Newman-style art song, Mose Allison-inflected jazz and Brill Building pop. The Beatles, Gershwin and Nilsson are also major influences on Lee.

'Halo' on iTunes

'Halo' on Bandcamp

'Halo' Release Show - Jan 22 at The Living Room, NYC

Making 'Album No. 4 . . . '

Taking a Hi-Fi approach, Lee produced and arranged the album, inviting top-tier musicians to contribute their genius, including longtime bandmates bassist Byron Isaacs (Levon Helm, Ollabelle) & drummer Bill Dobrow (Jesse Harris, Sean Lennon).  Grammy-winning engineer Jay Newland (Norah Jones) mixed and audio legend Greg Calbi mastered.

Guests include Ed Haber (Linda Thompson), Maxim Moston (Antony & the Johnsons), Glenn Patscha (Sheryl Crow), Michael Leonhart (Steely Dan), Mauro Refosco (Radiohead), and Maucha Adnet (Antonio Carlos Jobim).

Another guest, Lee's brother David Feldman makes his debut singing 'I Remember the Night' (about divorce and a family's time-stopping moment).

A Short History of Lee

"Lee Feldman plays the piano in just the dry, subtle, understated manner that his dry, subtle, understatedly hilarious songs call for." - Atlantic Monthly

Lee's fans are often greeted at shows by his opening question 'How's everybody doing - financially?' And this Borscht-belt humor and off-kilter warmth continues throughout the show. His ballad 'Give Me My Money' recently roused Occupy Wall Street protesters to start a ladies' choir at Zuccotti Park (as broadcast on CNN).

From "All Things Considered" to "People" magazine, Lee's three critically acclaimed albums -- Living It All Wrong (Pure/Mercury, 1996); The Man in a Jupiter Hat (Bonafide/Mercury, 2000); and I've Forgotten Everything (Urban Myth, 2006) -- have piqued the interest of people who care about sound, music and heart.

"Lee Feldman's I've Forgotten Everything is unlike anything else in contemporary pop. If you have a passion for good songwriting, you need this album."-Stereophile

Panopto Brings Market-Leading Media Capture to the iPhone and iPad

Company continues its impressive pace of innovation with the release of Panopto 4.1

SEATTLE, Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Panopto, Inc. released a new version of its popular media capture and management software today, introducing a range of new functionality for education and corporate customers.

Highlights of the Panopto 4.1 release include:

    --  A new iOS app that allows users to view, search, and record Panopto
        media on iPhones and iPads;
    --  Expanded learning management system (LMS) integration through support
        for Basic LTI;
    --  The ability for students to record and submit Panopto media for class
        assignments;
    --  Active Directory integration with cloud-hosted installations of Panopto;
    --  Screen capture support on multi-monitor systems;
    --  New management tools for usage monitoring and activity logging.
One of the most anticipated features in Panopto 4.1 is the new iOS app, which will soon be available in the iTunes App store.   The app brings video search, improved viewing, note taking, and recording to the mobile platform.  Users will be able to capture and share content on the fly with their iPhones and iPads, or use them as a video source for more complex presentations that include slides, screen capture, and additional video streams.  Users will also be able to take notes on their iOS device and embed them directly into a presentation.

"Mobile devices and low-cost video capture hardware are transforming the way academic institutions and enterprises record and share information," said Eric Burns, Panopto's co-founder and Chief Product Officer.  "With the release of Panopto 4.1, we're helping organizations take advantage of this trend - bringing media capture and management to iPhones and iPads, while providing tight integration with their existing back-end systems."

In the 4.1 release, Panopto is able to integrate with a wider range of learning management systems, thanks to support for Basic LTI.  Basic LTI is an emerging industry standard for LMS interoperability.  It allows users of compliant systems, such as Instructure, Desire2Learn, and Sakai, to access Panopto content directly from their LMS in one click.

"Panopto's support for the Learning Tool Interoperability standard is a great step forward for Instructure and Panopto customers," said Devlin Daley, co-Founder and CTO at Instructure. "Together, we're breaking down walled gardens and showing that best-of-breed platforms can be integrated without sacrificing the user experience. Simplifying the connection between Panopto and Instructure Canvas lets faculty focus on teaching and not on the tools."

For educators and trainers, new student recording functionality is included in Panopto 4.1.  This allows students to record and submit their own Panopto media for instructor evaluation.  Instructors can then use Panopto's powerful notes functionality to provide time-stamped feedback throughout each student's presentation.

"Panopto's investment in mobile and student recording will allow students to engage more deeply with their learning and ultimately lead to higher achievement," said Eric Kuennen, AVP Business Development Manager of Pearson Learning Solutions, which distributes Panopto to private sector and other higher education institutions.  "This latest version complements our mission to increase access to personalized, flexible learning options for students."

PerfectPart(TM) v4.0 Software Appliance Released

Assembly Performance Software targets quality and traceability improvements in manual assembly

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- PerfectPart Software, a developer of assembly performance solutions for manufacturers today announced it has released PerfectPart v4.0, the industry's first software appliance designed specifically to improve quality and enable traceability in manual assembly manufacturing operations. PerfectPart is available preinstalled on touchscreen hardware, and is pre-integrated for "one-click" connection to a number of commonly used plant floor tools and I/O devices. A browser-based administrative interface allows system management from any internet-connected device, including modern mobile devices. Intuitive, user-friendly configuration allows for easy, rapid application installation and maintenance by plant personnel, avoiding additional pressure on IT resources. The appliance-based design results in a highly scalable deployment model, allowing organizations to start with a single station and easily scale into hundreds without additional integration services. PerfectPart's extensibility allows cost-effective customization to accommodate the unique integration requirements associated with some enterprise PLM, ERP, MES, or plant floor system configurations.

PerfectPart 4.0 addresses the two most fundamental and costly challenges facing manual assembly manufacturing environments: quality enforcement and traceability. With PerfectPart, work instruction development, deployment, revisions and links to engineering design documents are easily maintained by plant employees. PerfectPart 4.0 also accommodates a wide combination of positive verification work-enforcement techniques, including required operator inputs, automatic sensors, Pick2Light inventories, and real-time tool data (e.g. torque applied). Its comprehensive track and trace data capture and reporting is a key factor in managing warranty exposure and minimizing the impact of production recalls. The intuitive, visually rich operator interface allows for rapid adoption with virtually no training time during deployment. 

PerfectPart is currently deployed in multiple assembly environments, such as engine, wheel, welding equipment, and various automotive parts. It was recently independently evaluated by a student-led program at a major stateuniversity, who found it to be the most user-friendly application for work instruction and quality enforcement currently available.

"Software Appliances are a major advantage in manufacturing applications, because they dramatically simplify the deployment, integration, and upkeep of production-oriented productivity software - at a cost that delivers substantial payback and ROI," said Mark Heringshausen, General Manager of PerfectPart Software. "PerfectPart is also offered on a subscription basis," he added, "which ensures that our customers can take advantage of improved functionality and new device connectivity as we add them."
