Give Teens on Your Holiday Shopping List the Latest in Learning Technology

The latest learning tools from Texas Instruments foster student achievement in math and science

DALLAS, Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As this year's holiday wish lists fill with the latest tech gadgets, parents should consider investing in a gift that will last their kids from middle school through high school and college - a new handheld or calculator from Texas Instruments.

The right tool for math and science classes is one of the best gifts education-minded parents can give their teens. Tools such as the TI-Nspire(TM) CX handheld, the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition graphing calculator or the TI-36X Pro scientific calculator could mean the difference between fully understanding key concepts and just getting by.

"Giving your student the tools they need to understand math and science on a deeper level is a gift that will last a lifetime," said Tom Reardon, retired math teacher with 35 years of experience in the classroom and a math adviser for Texas Instruments.

They're great gifts for math and science teachers, too.

Color-Display TI-Nspire(TM) CX and TI-Nspire CX CAS Handhelds
When students return to the classroom from the holiday break, they will be ready to tackle real-world learning with the TI-Nspire(TM) CX and TI-Nspire CX CAS handhelds. With the TI-Nspire CX handhelds, students can now more clearly interpret data, charts and graphs. Their vivid color display enables students to see sharp, full-color images and animations, helping them better connect complex math and science concepts to real-life learning. The new 3D graphing capabilities enable students to explore graphs from multiple points of view to develop deeper conceptual understanding.

The retail package of TI-Nspire(TM )CX and TI-Nspire CX CAS handhelds also includes TI-Nspire Student Software for home use. Students can do their homework practically anywhere with the handheld or work at home on their own PC or Mac(®) computer.

Research(1)( )shows that when students are engaged and actively participate in their own learning, they progress faster and further in understanding mathematics and science. Graphing handhelds, such as the TI-Nspire handhelds, have been shown to foster student engagement and encourage participation in their own learning.

"With features such as the backlit color screen, rechargeable batteries and the software that lets them upload their own photos, teens will think this is a pretty cool gift to get," Reardon said. "There are not many gifts for teenagers that are both educational and cool at the same time."

For teachers, the TI-Nspire CX handheld is multiple gifts in one. Beyond the handheld, teachers can access free, classroom-ready lessons and activities on the Math Nspired and Science Nspired online resource centers.

"If you give the math or science teacher a TI-Nspire CX handheld, you're not only giving them a cool tool, you're opening the doors to a host of time-saving classroom resources from TI," Reardon said.

The TI-Nspire CX handheld is permitted for use on the SAT(*), AP(*), PSAT/NSMQT(*), IB(®), and ACT(® )college entrance exams, as well as many state standardized tests. The TI-Nspire CX CAS handheld is permitted on SAT* and AP* exams. Students can download free sample SAT* and ACT® test questions from The Princeton Review(®) for the TI-Nspire CX handheld.

TI-84 Plus Silver Edition Graphing Calculator
The TI-84 Plus Silver Edition graphing calculator is one of the most popular graphing calculators in the United States and Canada. With the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition graphing calculator's interchangeable color faceplates and slide cases, students can personalize their calculator to fit their mood.

Like the TI-Nspire CX handheld, the TI-84 Plus graphing calculator is permitted for use on the SAT(*), AP(*), PSAT/NSMQT(*), IB(®), and ACT(®), as well as on many state standardized tests. Students can also download free sample SAT and ACTtest questions from The Princeton Review for the TI-84 Plus graphing calculator.

Scientific Calculators
The TI-36X Pro Scientific Calculator,TI's newest and most advanced scientific calculator, features a high-quality MultiView(TM) display and MathPrint(TM) capability. The MultiView display enables students to view multiple calculations at the same time, compare results and explore patterns on-screen. Enhanced math functionality makes the TI-36X Pro scientific calculator ideal for computer science and engineering courses. It also can be used in high school and college mathematics classes where graphing calculators may not be used.

About Texas Instruments
Education Technology, a business of Texas Instruments, provides a wide range of tools connecting the classroom experience with real-world applications, helping students and teachers to explore math and science interactively. TI's products and services are tested vigorously against recognized third-party research, which shows that the use of graphing calculators helps improve the mathematical skills of students and their attitudes toward mathematics.

GeckoSystems: Chinese to Require Hundreds of Thousands of GeckoSystems Equipped Wheelchairs to Reach New Healthcare Standards

CONYERS, Ga., Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- GeckoSystems International Corporation  (Pink Sheets: GOSY | http://www.geckosystems.com/) -- announced additional details today regarding their Joint Venture with the Chinese.  Under the auspices of the People's Republic of China a new company is being formed and a new wheelchair manufacturing plant is being built to accommodate updated healthcare standards for the Chinese people. 

These new standards will require the production of hundreds of thousands of wheelchairs for the disabled in China. The joint venture will be engineering a completely new product, a truly collision proof wheelchair, that uses GeckoSystems' proprietary technology, GeckoNava.

GeckoSystems will receive exposure throughout the world thus enabling the Company to begin production of the CareBotO, the Company's flagship elder care robot. This Chinese Joint Venture will also produce a basic module for their robotic line at a markedly reduced price, giving GeckoSystems a huge competitive advantage in commercial markets such as healthcare, security, and a variety of government applications.

"This will put GeckoSystems' technology and proprietary software at the forefront of the global market. We are excited to get started. What we have announced so far is really just the beginning of the potential in the marketplace," stated Mr. Hajime Yasumatsu, Chairman, Yasu, Inc., GeckoSystems' Asian Business Development Consultant.

"Our timing could not be better; the Chinese healthcare system is being upgraded to 21st century standards and our technology and software will be part of that upgrade. The potential going forward with all of our technologies in nearly unlimited," said Martin Spencer, President/CEO, GeckoSystems Intl. Corp.

About GeckoSystems: 

GeckoSystems has been developing innovative robotic technology for over fourteen years.  It is CEO Martin Spencer's dream to make people's lives better through robotic technology, with a focus on Mobile Service Robots (MSRs).  The MSR market is just coming of age.

There are many subgroups of service robots, personal assistance robots, professional assistance robots, social assistance robots, healthcare robots and care giving robots.  Many of the robotic platforms now on the market are classified as "software ready" but they do not have integrated software and mechanical systems.  GeckoSystems has developed the CareBot hardware and software in tandem for a specific application, the CareBot elder care robot.

In just this last year the market for Mobile Service Robots has started to expand.  GeckoSystems received a request from Imasen, Japan's oldest wheelchair maker, to migrate the CareBot's navigation system to their power wheelchair.   As a result of this GeckoSystems created the "Collision Proof Wheelchairä".  The company expects their "collision proof" wheelchair and an upgrade for existing wheelchairs will be the first product of this sort to be marketed.

The CareBot has completed Alpha trials, which showed that families readily accepted the unit along with their elderly loved ones.  It was tested in a home care setting and received enthusiastic support from both caregivers and care receivers.  The company believes that the CareBot will enhance the safety and well-being of its elderly charges while decreasing stress on the caregiver and the family.

The company believes that the CareBot should be the first product that is introduced to the retail market because of its very strong return on investment potential for care giving families.

CareBot ROI, a Wise Family Decision
http://www.geckosystems.com/markets/CareBot_ROI.php

At this time, Gecko Systems is preparing for Beta testing of the CareBot prior to full-scale production and marketing.

Above, the CareBot demonstrates static and dynamic obstacle avoidance and backs in and out of a narrow alley.  There is no joystick control or programmed path; movements are smoother that those achieved using a joystick control.  AI creates three low levels of obstacle avoidance: reactive, proactive, and contemplative.  Subsumptive AI behavior enables the CareBot to reach its target destination after engaging in obstacle avoidance.

New Hampshire Holiday Shoppers to Benefit From Expanded AT&T Mobile Broadband Wireless Capacity

Additional Capacity Expected to Improve Connectivity and Performance of Voice and Mobile Broadband Data

NASHUA, N.H., Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for the holiday shopping rush, shoppers visiting three popular New Hampshire malls are expected to experience improved mobile broadband coverage and voice performance as a result of continued investment and innovation by AT&T*. The company announced today that it has completed key initiatives in its ongoing efforts to expand the wireless capacity and enhance performance of its mobile broadband network throughout three popular New Hampshire shopping malls.

AT&T added new layers of frequency, also known as "carriers," to the Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), or in-building wireless systems, at Pheasant Lane Mall, in Nashua; The Mall at Rockingham Park, in Salem; and Fox Run Mall, in Newington - all Simon Property Group malls - to help serve wireless customers throughout the shopping malls. The additional carriers help manage ever-growing demand for mobile broadband services by allocating more network resources for AT&T's mobile broadband network.

A DAS has the ability to provide enhanced wireless coverage to customers in indoor or outdoor spaces where geographical limitations - terrain, building construction, etc. - or crowd density might otherwise prevent an optimal wireless experience. The additional capacity is expected to help improve call reliability and enable more consistent network access to help customers make the most of their AT&T devices while they shop for holiday gifts.

"The holiday season can be hectic, and that's why we're committed to enhancing wireless coverage for our customers checking off their gift lists, so that they can talk, text and surf even faster than before," said Steve Krom, vice president and general manager for AT&T New England.

"Our goal is for our customers to have an extraordinary experience. As part of the New Hampshire community, we're always looking for new opportunities to provide an enhanced customer experience and our investment in the local wireless network is just one way we're accomplishing that," said Owen Smith, regional vice president for AT&T New Hampshire. "In addition, our recently announced agreement to acquire T-Mobile USA will strengthen and expand our network in Maine. If approved, this deal means that we'll be able to expand the next generation of mobile broadband - 4G LTE - from our current plan of 80 percent of the U.S. population to more than 97 percent."

Today's announcement builds on the momentum established during AT&T's 2010 wireless investment, when it added more than 20 new cell sites in New Hampshire and upgraded 75 existing sites  with mobile broadband technology. From 2008 to 2010, AT&T invested nearly $60 million in its New Hampshire wireline and wireless networks. Year to date in 2011, AT&T has added 24 new cell sites in New Hampshire, added capacity - or layers of frequency - to 221 cell sites, and expanded its mobile broadband network by enhancing 58 cell sites.

AT&T is an industry pioneer in delivering the benefits of mobile broadband networks, devices and applications. With the nation's fastest mobile broadband network, AT&T provides accelerated mobile data speeds and simultaneous voice and data capabilities for an amazing wireless voice and data experience.

AT&T's mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T has the best international coverage of any U.S. wireless provider, providing access to voice service in more than 225 countries and data service in more than 200 countries.

AT&T also operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network** with more than 29,000 hotspots in the U.S. and provides access to nearly 190,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.

MyAutismTeam Launches First Social Network Dedicated to Parents of Children with Autism

Facebook-Meets-Yelp Network from MyHealthTeams Surges Past 12,500 Members, Unveils Partnership with Autism Speaks

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MyHealthTeams today announced the launch of MyAutismTeam, its flagship social network for parents of children on the autism spectrum. MyAutismTeam is the first social network specifically for parents of children with autism, making it easy to connect with others who have had similar experiences. The network is a Facebook-meets-Yelp style place for parents to share recommendations of local providers, openly discuss issues, share tips, and gain access to local services that they may not have otherwise discovered on their own. Since the summer, the site has rapidly grown from 30 to over 12,500 members, underlying the growing need of parents seeking support and an easy way to find the team of providers that best meets the needs of their children.  MyAutismTeam today also officially unveiled an ongoing partnership with the world's largest autism science and advocacy organization, Autism Speaks.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one of the fastest growing developmental disabilities today.  According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism affects as many as 1 in every 110 children in the United States. ASD affects an estimated 1.5 million individuals in the U.S. and tens of millions worldwide. Yet many parents still struggle to find the resources and services their children need. MyAutismTeam connects community members with support and personal recommendations from other parents in their local area - a resource lacking in today's world of social networks. 

"Parents of kids with autism constantly worry whether they are doing enough, or are doing the right things to help their children thrive," explains Eric Peacock, CEO and founder of MyAutismTeam.  "The one thing we've learned from parents is that it can take years to build the right team to help your child. We focus on making it easy for parents to learn from others who have been in their shoes, so they don't have to start from scratch when looking for providers that are highly recommended."   

On the MyAutismTeam site, parents create their own "team" by sharing providers who help them care for their child. The typical team consists of more than just autism doctors and specialists -they include restaurants, schools, piano teachers, babysitters and more. Parents can then communicate and post status updates, generating conversation threads around daily activities like dentist or doctor's visits, and the not-so-routine like swimming or taekwondo classes. Members can also post on each other's walls and use the site's searchable database to find autism-friendly providers near them. For each provider or business on a team, the site lists contact information, and recommendations to make selecting a provider easy.

The largest autism advocacy organization, Autism Speaks, recognized the value of MyAutismTeam before it was built and has established a partnership to provide feedback on the site based on their years of engagement in the autism community. Autism Speaks helped seed MyAutismTeam's database of local autism providers with data from its own family resource database. Parents on the site can also add providers they use that may not already be listed directly to MyAutismTeam. Today, MyAutismTeam has a directory of over 30,000 autism providers.

"Parents often say they have learned so much from other parents who have already experienced the joys and challenges that accompany life with a child with autism," explains Lisa Goring, Autism Speaks vice president of Family Services. "Providing access to local information and resources is an important part of the mission at Autism Speaks.  Partnering with MyAutismTeam is one more way we can help empower families with reliable information they can use right now."

"Someone in the community will have faced the challenges you are facing today and can recommend a great provider, or share tips on what worked for them," explains Sharon Esch of Albuquerque, who is mother of a 5-year-old boy with Asperger's.  "The great thing about MyAutismTeam is that you find you're not alone."

Vyatta Improves Amazon Cloud Networking for Z Gallerie

Vyatta Network OS Enables Improved Collaboration for Z Gallerie Developers with Scalable VPN Functionality

BELMONT, Calif., Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Vyatta, the leader in software-based networking for physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures, today announced that Vyatta Network OS has been selected by Z Gallerie, a leading home decor and furniture retailer, to deliver enhanced security and networking within its Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environment.

Z Gallerie, which was looking to leverage Amazon VPC as a test bed for deployment of eCommerce sites, required a scalable VPN solution to securely connect remote developers around the world. Vyatta enabled Z Gallerie's administrators to scale IPsec and SSL-based VPNs as needed, resulting in improved collaboration among the company's offshore and on-shore developers.

"In moving to the Amazon cloud, we wanted to create a secure test environment for our engineers to connect to, but not change any on-site equipment," said Howard Kolodny, Vice President of IT at Z Gallerie.

"Vyatta brought improved networking and security to our cloud, enabling our team to cut the time needed to push code to the stage environment from 6 or 7 hours to less than an hour," said Balaji Thirumeninathan, Manager of Application Development at Z Gallerie.

Vyatta Network OS for Amazon Cloud enables companies, such as Z Gallerie, to benefit from customer controlled advanced networking functionality in the Amazon cloud that delivers the flexibility to address their network topology requirements. Among the benefits of Vyatta are its scalable VPN, Layer 2 cloud bridging, VPC to VPC VPN tunneling and more.

"When companies like Z Gallerie look to leverage the Amazon cloud, they often find a need for granular network control, beyond the available resources," said Tom McCafferty, Vice President of Marketing at Vyatta. "By deploying Vyatta Network OS within the VPC environment, Amazon cloud customers can control both ends of the VPN tunnel and create their own meshed topologies between VPCs and remote datacenters, regardless of location or existing network configuration."

In addition to improving the productivity of developers, Vyatta is also significantly reducing Z Gallerie's hardware footprint by eliminating their need for physical networking equipment.

"It's a goal of mine that we never have to buy a server again and it's something we are getting close to realizing," said Kolodny. "By deploying Vyatta in the cloud, we can provision a server in under an hour, which is huge for us."

About Vyatta

Vyatta is disrupting the networking industry by delivering a software-based network operating system that is portable to standard x86 hardware as well as common virtualization and cloud computing platforms. Vyatta software provides a complete enterprise-class routing and security suite capable of uniquely addressing the next-generation infrastructure requirements of flexibility, on-demand delivery and platform independence. Thousands of physical and virtual infrastructures around the world, from small enterprise to Fortune 500 customers, are connected and protected by Vyatta.

Hyland Software's OnBase ECM Solution Receives Meaningful Use Certification

Achievement demonstrates Hyland's dedication to the healthcare market, value of OnBase in creating a complete electronic health record

CLEVELAND, Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthcare providers continue to look for technologies that will drive better patient care, and ultimately create a complete electronic health record (EHR). But if patients are top of mind in this IT search, meeting "meaningful use" requirements is a close second. Across more than 1,400 healthcare providers, Hyland Software's OnBase enterprise content management (ECM) solution has proven that it's an important component of an EHR, especially when integrated with an electronic medical record (EMR). Confirming this value, and showing its commitment to its healthcare customers, Hyland's OnBase has successfully achieved meaningful use certification as an EHR Module, according to the Drummond Group.

(Logo: <font size="2" face="Arial">http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090130/65710LOGO</font> )

"Meeting meaningful use criteria is a major concern for healthcare providers today, but it's also yielding great value to the market. Most importantly, it's creating a better understanding of what's needed to create a complete electronic patient record," said Susan deCathelineau, senior manager, healthcare solutions for Hyland Software. "Our customers have been leveraging OnBase as a component of the EHR for years, in part because of its ability to manage content found outside of the boundaries of EMRs, like digital photos and EKG results. And now, we can proudly tell them that while they were ahead of the game all along, their strategic use of OnBase is now backed by the federal government's approval."

Drummond Group is an ONC-ATCB (Office of the National Coordinator Authorized Testing and Certification Body) for the 2011/2012 certification program, both testing and certifying that EHRs and components of EHRs meet the meaningful use criteria for either eligible provider or hospital technology. In turn, healthcare providers using the certified products are qualified to receive federal stimulus monies under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) upon demonstrating meaningful use of the technology.

"Today, most healthcare organizations start to think about ECM because of the clear benefits on the clinical care side. But for organizations that choose OnBase, clinical use represents just one piece of our solution's potential. These organizations get that the continuum of patient care crosses all functions of their organizations - clinical, revenue cycle and administrative departments - and therefore, so should ECM. In other words, while an ECM solution might start by integrating with an EMR, it also must be able to roll out, for example, to patient financial services, where it can augment billing systems with workflow and integration capabilities," said deCathelineau.

"Will providers get any extra funding for this kind of ECM solution? Maybe not. But they will get an ECM solution with a lower long-term cost and more sustainable value that better connects the healthcare enterprise."

For information about why more than 1,400 healthcare organizations have chosen Hyland Software's OnBase, visit http://www.hyland.com/healthcare.

This EHR Module is 2011/2012 compliant and has been certified by Drummond Group, an ONC-ATCB approved to certify any complete or modular EHR both ambulatory and inpatient,in accordance with the applicable certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. This certification does not represent an endorsement by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services or guarantee the receipt of incentive payments. Hyland Software, December 1, 2011, OnBase 11.0, certification ID numbers 12012011-1382-6 (inpatient) and 12012011-1384-6 (ambulatory).

BodyMedia Plans to Join Qualcomm Life's Wireless Health 2net Ecosystem

Data from BodyMedia's Wearable Body Monitors will be Available to Healthcare Providers through 2net Platform

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- BodyMedia, the leading developer of wearable body monitors, plans to collaborate with Qualcomm Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated to utilize the new 2net(TM) Platform for its BodyMedia FIT(TM) LINK Armband. The wireless health collaboration will enable BodyMedia Armband users to share wireless health data, such as calorie expenditure, activity, and sleep patterns, with designated healthcare providers and service companies through the 2net Platform as part of a broad initiative to help improve health outcomes. The collaboration was announced at the third annual mHealth Summit, being held at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

Initially, data will be available from the BodyMedia FIT LINK Armband, a Bluetooth-enabled on-body wellness monitor that tracks calories burned, physical activity levels, steps taken and sleep efficiency using a proprietary four-sensor system to capture over 5,000 data points per minute for proven accuracy. With the consumer's permission, that data - currently delivered to the user's smartphone via Bluetooth and available on the BodyMedia web interface via USB upload - will soon also be enabled for wireless transmission onto the 2net Platform.

Additional BodyMedia-collected wellness data is expected to be made available as the company introduces new types of body monitors and expands its support for machine-to-machine (M2M) connectivity.  Future applications will address a broad range of therapeutic conditions and special populations.

Expansion Strategy

BodyMedia's planned participation in the 2net Ecosystem marks the newest chapter in an expansion strategy that was highlighted earlier this year with the release of an Application Programming Interface (API) designed to encourage the use of BodyMedia technology beyond the company's core weight management business. That API has sparked the development of a variety of new applications including a health and wellness management system available on Panasonic VIERA(TM) Connect IPTVs, a rewards-based program through Earndit, and a prototype fitness game designed to combat childhood obesity.  Qualcomm Life's 2net Platform will provide another important use for BodyMedia data.

"With two-thirds of all adults and roughly a third of all children and teenagers in the U.S. alone considered overweight or obese, multiple clinical studies have shown the promise of using mobile health technology in combating the obesity epidemic and related health problems.  Our body monitors, in particular, add an extra level of information available to patients and healthcare providers," said BodyMedia CEO Christine Robins. "The 2net Platform will give us a means of delivering the data we collect directly to third parties, such as healthcare providers, to help track wireless health data status.  This will allow BodyMedia to add value by combining our data with key health indicators from other wireless devices, and accelerate our planned expansion into therapeutic areas beyond weight management."

Supporting the 2net Ecosystem Vision

BodyMedia is among the first medical device manufacturers to embrace Qualcomm Life's vision of building the largest wireless health ecosystem of medical device and service companies for the purpose of seamlessly sharing biometric data. The 2net Platform makes that possible through a technology-agnostic wireless device and application connectivity strategy that removes the burden of working with multiple mobile carriers and managing disparate device and storage algorithms. 

Biometric data is transmitted to the 2net Platform's data center through the 2net Hub, a connectivity gateway that plugs into a standard electrical wall outlet. The cloud-based data center has been designed to meet HIPAA security requirements for data storage. The data is then made available to healthcare providers, payers, service, pharmaceutical and informatics companies to provide insights that can assist in individual health management as well as healthcare support services.

"The wireless health space is forecast to grow rapidly as more patients, physicians and caregivers use wireless technology in other aspects of their lives, but that can happen only if there is a wireless mechanism to deliver medical device data quickly and easily to end users," said Rick Valencia, Vice President and General Manager of Qualcomm Life. "BodyMedia immediately recognized the value of the 2net Platform in providing those capabilities, and we are excited that they want to play a role in building the 2net Ecosystem."

About BodyMedia, Inc.

When your body talks, BodyMedia listens. BodyMedia has been unlocking and deciphering secrets of the body since 1999. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, BodyMedia is the pioneer in developing and marketing wearable body monitors that equip consumers with information they can use to make sweeping changes to their own health and wellness beginning with weight management and soon to include management of other conditions affected by lifestyle choices.  The BodyMedia platform is the only system of its kind that is registered with the FDA as a Class II medical device and that has been clinically proven to enhance users' weight loss by up to three times.*  For more information, visit http://www.bodymedia.com.

Broadcom Enables up to 10 Year Battery Life for Bluetooth® Keyboards

New Reference Design Slashes Power Consumption in Wireless Keyboards and Mice

IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

News Highlights

    --  The BCM20730 chip is in full production with reference design being
        evaluated by top peripheral makers worldwide.
    --  Keyboards will be backward compatible with Bluetooth-enabled PCs that
        have been shipping for the last 10 years.
    --  Bluetooth keyboards based on new design to match up to 10 year battery
        life of forthcoming Bluetooth low energy (BLE) solutions.
Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications, today introduced a new reference design and accompanying software that will dramatically increase battery life for wireless keyboards based on the "classic" Bluetooth basic rate radio.

Broadcom's new design, featuring updated firmware and innovative techniques designed to minimize power consumption, will yield a new generation of keyboards and other Human Interface Devices (HIDs) that could operate for the life of the product on a single pair of AA batteries.

The new reference design is based on the Broadcom® BCM20730 65 nm low-power HID chip and includes several innovations that also will make wireless keyboards and mice easier to use. With integrated support for USB HID Emulation (UHE) and Broadcom's ZeroTouch configuration technology, these peripherals can be used right out of the box with no special pairing procedure, making them ideal for "all-in-one" desktop PCs.

Bluetooth continues to gain momentum as the technology of choice for wireless mice, keyboards, 3D glasses and consumer electronics remote controls with more than 4 billion standard Bluetooth chips already installed in popular electronics to which these HIDs can connect. HIDs based on the Broadcom BCM20730 can enjoy the same battery life as those based on Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) technology, even when connected to existing devices that have shipped with older versions of Bluetooth.

The new BCM20730-based ultra low power HID reference design is available now and sampling to customers.

Quotes:Tom Ramsthaler, Senior Director, Marketing, Wireless Personal Area NetworksBroadcom Corporation

"Broadcom innovations continue to expand the usefulness of standard Bluetooth, allowing consumers to take further advantage of one of the most ubiquitous wireless technologies in the world. By boosting the battery life of keyboards to as long as 10 years, this new design satisfies consumer preferences for HIDs that could potentially never need new batteries."

Low-Power HID Reference Design Highlights:

    --  The BCM20730 integrates multiple off-chip components for a lower bill of
        materials cost to deliver superior and more affordable HID products than
        those based on competing solutions.
    --  The design also supports the upcoming upgraded HID Profile 1.1, which
        enhances support for Secure Simple Pairing and Sniff Subrating, which
        allows the radio to dynamically adapt its performance to optimally
        trade-off power consumption and performance, as needed.
    --  Compatible with Bluetooth® smart ready and other HID host devices such
        as computers, smartphones, tablets, televisions, game consoles and
        set-top boxes which include Bluetooth HID support conforming to
        Bluetooth Core Specification versions from 1.1 through 4.0.
    --  The BCM20730 Bluetooth chip is compliant with the Bluetooth 4.0 Core
        Specification and includes support for Unicast Connectionless Data (UCD)
        and Enhanced Power Control (EPC) introduced in Bluetooth Core
        Specification 3.0 + HS.
    --  The Broadcom BCM20730 single-chip HID solution and reference design
        enable a new generation of wireless input peripherals that take
        advantage of Bluetooth wireless technology, the most widely available
        connectivity standard for these applications.

Qualcomm Atheros Launches World's First HomePlug Green PHY Solution

-- Qualcomm Atheros Introduces QCA7000, a Single-chip HomePlug Green PHY Solution for Energy Management and Home Automation --

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Qualcomm Atheros Inc., the networking and connectivity subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), today announced the QCA7000, the world's first HomePlug® Green PHY silicon solution. The QCA7000 is designed for embedded smart energy and automation applications in homes and buildings. HomePlug Green PHY enables a power saving mechanism that can reduce the consumption of a power line communications (PLC) device versus a HomePlug AV solution. HomePlug Green PHY also solves reach challenges by offering extensive home coverage with the use of ROBO modes for data transmission, and it operates at the HomePlug band to avoid noise commonly found in the home at lower frequency bands. The QCA7000 single-chip implementation and embedded configuration option offers improved system costs by minimizing the total bill of materials.

The QCA7000 is highly integrated with the power management unit, analog front-end and memory in a tiny 8x8 quad-flat no-leads (QFN) package. The chip is powered by a single-voltage rail to allow for reduced system cost and easy integration into customer designs. To support embedded applications, SPI and UART host interfaces are available on the chip to allow direct connectivity to low-cost, low-power microcontrollers commonly found in the smart energy ecosystem. To reduce customers' system cost, a GPIO bus and an optional Flash interface are available to support simple hostless applications like smart plugs and monitoring sensors.

"The QCA7000 is an exciting product for Qualcomm Atheros and is a significant step in advancing the Qualcomm Internet of Everything vision," said Dan Rabinovitsj, senior vice president and general manager, networking business unit, Qualcomm Atheros. "The QCA7000 is an innovative HomePlug Green PHY solution that not only delivers outstanding performance, but succeeds in providing low energy and reduced total cost of ownership for our customers in applications such as plug-in electrical vehicles, smart energy, smart grid and remote monitoring applications. We believe the QCA7000 will help establish PLC technology as the de facto standard in networking low-energy wired devices in the home and enterprise. With our extensive portfolio in low-power wireless and wired connectivity technologies and increasing focus on smart grid and smart home applications, Qualcomm Atheros is well positioned to bring value to a wide variety of customers serving this dynamic segment."

HomePlug Green PHY is an innovative, new standard for powerline communications that is interoperable with the IEEE 1901/HomePlug AV powerline networking protocol. HomePlug Green PHY swaps the greater-than-200Mbps rate of the HomePlug AV protocol for low-energy, low-cost extended home coverage. This trade-off can equate to more than 80 percent power reduction in a given application while providing up to 10Mbps data rate to meet today's smart energy needs, providing scalability to protect investments for future requirements. HomePlug Green PHY is IP-based technology that allows handling of IP protocols, such as smart energy profile (SEP) 2.0, without translation layers and can natively support MAC layer bridging to Wi-Fi, Ethernet and cellular technologies, providing endless extensibility to the powerline network.

Samples of the QCA7000 chip are available now to select customers, with volume production scheduled for early 2012.

Hidden Radio Design's Innovative Bluetooth Wireless Speaker is on Its Way to Being One of the Most Successful Crowd Funded Projects Ever

After only two weeks of launching the Hidden Radio Project on Kickstarter.com, two experienced industrial designers have blown through their funding goal and still have over 40 days to go with their campaign!

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Two designers have created a simple, unassuming radio and Bluetooth wireless speaker which is taking on the competition of complex electronic devices. No knobs, buttons, or displays. The product was designed on the basis of consumer intuition. The user simply twists the sleek metallic or graphite black housing to elegantly adjust the volume. It has been available on Kickstarter.com for only two weeks and has already far exceeded their goal of $125k, at the time of printing this article they were already at $185k. And with over 40 days to go in their Kickstarter.com there seems to be no signs of slowing down.

"We always believed in this product and knew other people would too though we couldn't have anticipated such an incredible response. The extra money will really help us add more features and deliver an even higher quality product," says Australian designer John Van Den Nieuwenhuizen now based out of San Francisco. John and his business partner Vitor Santa Maria founded HiddenRadio Design over 4 years ago. Vitor is from Rio de Janeiro but has been a designer in Milan for over 18 years.

"Our approach is to create simple designs which make a positive impact in people's lives," says Vitor. The device is both elegant and extremely useful. Several speakers can be placed around the house and the user can connect with each one seamlessly when moving from room to room as well as outdoors.

It provides several functions:  it's a wireless Bluetooth speaker with AM/FM radio that works with leading electronic devices like iPhones, iPods, iPads, or any other smartphones, tablets and computers.  It runs on rechargeable batteries, which last over 30 hours on a single charge. There is also a standard 3.5 mm audio jack for connecting with non-Bluetooth devices.

The HiddenRadio and Bluetooth Speaker delivers pure, powerful sound to over 80 dB - so it can easily fill a small apartment with gorgeous music. "We've tested it side by side with leading products on the market, and it has excelled in both sound quality and battery life," says John.

The HiddenRadio is only available at Kickstarter.com. The clock is ticking down to pre-order and be the first to own the Bluetooth wireless speaker with AM/FM radio. People can support the development of this product through Kickstarter.com by pre-ordering their unit for $119, which will normally retail for $175. This will secure delivery of a limited-edition product directly to their homes with global shipping included.

The designers have already invested over $50,000 to develop the product and the capital raised through Kickstarter.com will be spent on injection molding tools, Bluetooth certification, initial inventory, and other equipment necessary for mass production. Just in time for the holiday gift season, this is a chance to promote and support the production of this simple, useful and elegant product before it hits the main market.

Orders can be placed for a limited time at: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2107726947/hidden-radio-and-bluetooth-speaker

Bupa Health Foundation and Alzheimer's Australia Announce UK Availability of Brain Health App

LONDON, December 6, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    The Bupa Health Foundation and Alzheimer's Australia have announced the UK launch of a
world-first brain health app, the latest digital tool to help in the fight against
dementia.

    Based on latest research that links brain health and a reduced risk of dementia, to a
healthy heart and cardiovascular system, 'BrainyApp' is the first dementia risk reduction
iPhone app designed to help people monitor and improve their brain-heart health.

    The new app, which was designed by Alzheimer's Australia and Bupa Health Foundation,
has already knocked Facebook off the number one spot in the Australia and New Zealand Top
Free Apps list and has clocked up more than 130,000 downloads down under.

    Now available to people in the UK, 'BrainyApp' helps users monitor and improve the
physical, mental, dietary and social aspects of their lifestyle.

    There are currently 750,000 people living with dementia in the UK and this is
predicted to rise to over a million by 2021. Delaying the onset of dementia by just five
years would reduce deaths directly attributable to dementia by 30,000 a year.

    Jeremy Hughes, Chief Executive, Alzheimer's Society, said: "Most people know how to
reduce their risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke but they don't realise that the
same healthy lifestyle choices may also lower the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease
[http://www.bupa.co.uk/individuals/health-information/directory/a/alzheimers-disease ] and
other kinds of dementia. The idea is that what is good for the heart is also good for the
brain."

    'BrainyApp' allows users to take a brain-heart health survey about their diet,
exercise patterns and lifestyle. It then provides suggestions and ideas about how to make
improvements to each. It also includes all-new brain games, and encourages users to build
brain-heart points by staying physically and mentally active, socialising with friends and
family, and sharing their progress on Facebook.

    One of the brain games - 'Word Tennis' - requires players to unscramble anagrams in
order to move a paddle and hit a ball back to their opponent.

    Director of dementia care
[http://www.bupa.co.uk/individuals/care-homes/types-of-care/dementia-care ] for Bupa Care
Services, Dr Graham Stokes, said: "There is evidence to show that keeping the mind
exercised can stave off the onset of dementia but 'BrainyApp' highlights that good
physical health also has a part to play. Best of all it's good fun."

    'BrainyApp' is available as a free download for users of iPhone, iPod and iPad devices
from the App Store. There are plans to develop an Android version in early 2012.

    More information about BrainyApp is available at http://www.bupa.co.uk/brainy-app.

    About Bupa Group:

    Bupa's purpose is to help people lead longer, healthier, happier lives.

    A leading international healthcare [http://www.bupa.co.uk/individuals/health-insurance
] group, Bupa offers personal and company health insurance, runs care homes
[http://www.bupa.co.uk/individuals/care-homes ] for older people and hospitals, and
provides workplace health services, health assessments and chronic disease management
services, including health coaching, and home healthcare.

    For more information, visit http://www.bupa.com.

    About Alzheimer's Society:

    One in three people over 65 will die with dementia. Alzheimer's Society research shows
that 750,000 people in the UK have a form of dementia, more than half have Alzheimer's
disease. In just ten years a million people will be living with dementia. This will soar
to 1.7 million people by 2051. Alzheimer's Society champions the rights of people living
with dementia and the millions of people who care for them

    About Alzheimer's Australia:

    Alzheimer's Australia is the charity for people with dementia and their families and
their carers. As the peak body, it provides advocacy, support services, education and
information.

    About the Bupa Health Foundation:

support of important health research, health education and other healthy living programs.

SuccessFactors (SFSF) to Acquire Jobs2web - A Multi-Channel Interactive Recruiting Marketing SaaS Company

Creates recruiting experiences that don't stink, and business execution dashboards that dramatically cut costs

SAN MATEO, Calif., Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SuccessFactors, Inc. (NYSE: SFSF), the global leader in business execution cloud-based software, today announced a definitive agreement to acquire Jobs2web, the leading recruiting marketing platform, delivering the first-ever Recruiting Execution Platform.

Jobs2web is renowned in the recruiting industry for its unique ability to "turbocharge" any Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and attract the very best candidates through social networks. By creating superb recruiting experiences for hiring managers as well as candidates, companies can save time and money, foster engaged communities, and enhance their brand reputation.

Jobs2web is a high-growth performer in the cloud industry with healthy revenue and an impressive roster of customers, such as 3M, Merck, PepsiCo, Rackspace and Taco Bell, among others, that have deployed an integrated multi-channel recruiting strategy with Jobs2web. For more details, please visit the Jobs2web testimonials page: http://www.jobs2web.com/resources/testimonials-video/.

With Jobs2web, companies can drive social and mobile recruiting programs across all potential recruiting channels like Bing, Facebook, Google, Indeed, Jigsaw, Juju, LinkedIn, Twitter, Yahoo, Zoominfo, and other communities. Jobs2web works with all major recruiting vendors and ATS systems and will be immediately integrated with SuccessFactors' Business Execution applications. SuccessFactors will combine its industry leading social, mobile and collaborative recruiting management solution with Jobs2web's leading recruiting marketing platform to produce a transformational social recruiting engine with dynamic talent communities that minimize cost and maximize quality and speed. This new platform will help companies find the best people, drive more engagement with potential candidates and analyze program effectiveness.

"It was easy for SuccessFactors to pull the trigger on acquiring Jobs2web, despite an extremely competitive acquisition fight for them, because they have so many powerful assets. First, they're growing incredibly fast. And they are completely disrupting the way companies can make social networks their friends in recruiting and not a distraction, helping hiring managers find people in ways they never could before. Lastly, the analytics dashboards provide quality insights not seen in this industry before," said Lars Dalgaard, founder and chief executive officer, SuccessFactors. "There are 300 million job searches alone on Google each year, that companies don't know how to get to, with Jobs2web SuccessFactors can help companies turn resumes into candidates, broadcasting their jobs in all social networks."

New SuccessFactors Recruiting Execution Platform

The SuccessFactors and Jobs2web recruiting solutions complement each other in that Jobs2web's recruiting marketing platform drives the process before the candidate application, and SuccessFactors drives everything from application to hire and beyond. Previously, companies had to piece disparate solutions together. Now, companies can leverage a comprehensive Recruiting Execution Platform as part of the SuccessFactors Business Execution Suite (BizX), starting with the modules that suit their needs and expanding as they are ready - all from a single cloud-based vendor.

As part of the Recruiting Execution Platform, Jobs2web helps companies to:

    --  Find the Best People - Companies can bring the candidate network to the
        open job instead of the job to the network through a variety of
        channels, including search engines, social networks and mobile career
        sites. http://www.jobs2web.com/what-we-do/find-better/
    --  Engage in a Unique Way - Managers can add insights and automation to
        their candidate relationship management process and create "talent
        communities" that will drive more engagement with potential candidates.
        http://www.jobs2web.com/what-we-do/engage-better/
    --  Analyze Effectiveness - With targeted search engine optimization (SEO)
        and campaigns, executives gain real insights into recruiting advertising
        campaigns and overall sourcing strategy so that executives know what is
        and isn't working and where to focus their investment.
        http://www.jobs2web.com/what-we-do/know-better/

"We chose to join SuccessFactors because of its clear market leadership. Our leadership team is ecstatic to join the SuccessFactors team with its focus on driving real business execution for its customers and the company's mission to solve its customers' biggest problems," said Ken Holec, chief executive officer, Jobs2web. "Legacy ATS systems are not much more than electronic filing cabinets and job boards just aren't enough. Companies aren't using them, quality candidates aren't using them. Simply trying to deploy a Facebook page doesn't work, and neither does just buying LinkedIn licenses. We make LinkedIn better, Facebook better, your mobile recruiting better, every part of the recruiting process better. Hiring the best people can be complex and hard to manage, and we're making it easy. Our joint Recruiting Execution Platform will offer customers an unmatched level of recruiting insights and knowledge to take the guess work out of recruiting."

A Winning Combination: SuccessFactors and Jobs2web

SuccessFactors has continued to build on its core (BizX) suite and revolutionize the market through its R&D of new solutions and innovative product acquisitions. Like the company's other acquisitions, Jobs2web is a strong strategic fit from a technological, functional and cultural standpoint:

    --  Technology: SuccessFactors has focused on building multi-tenant
        software-as-a-service (SaaS) software since day one. Similarly,
        Jobs2web's solutions are true, multi-tenant SaaS. This will yield
        significant advantage in integrating the solutions and increase speed to
        market for new product updates.
    --  Functionality: The two solutions complement one another to address the
        full recruiting cycle and provide robust analytics. Jobs2web will be a
        "candidate magnet" for SuccessFactors' proven hiring engine and will add
        to SuccessFactors' market leading analytics, providing more actionable
        insights for customers to continually refine their end-to-end recruiting
        processes. It introduces extremely dynamic Talent Communities, and
        allows for social recruiting.
        http://www.jobs2web.com/solutions/social-network-recruiting/
    --  Cultural: SuccessFactors and Jobs2web are both leaders who have excelled
        in pioneering new markets with continued innovation and a relentless
        focus on customer success.

Jobs2web brings more than 150 new customers to SuccessFactors. After the deal closes, Jobs2web will operate as a business unit within SuccessFactors. Customers will have the option of purchasing Jobs2web to work as a deeply integrated solution with SuccessFactors Recruiting Management, to operate in conjunction with any other applicant tracking system (ATS) they may own, or to operate as a standalone solution. The pricing models for Jobs2web's Recruiting Marketing Platform and SuccessFactors' Recruiting Management Platform will remain the same.

Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, which is subject to various closing conditions, SuccessFactors will pay $110 million in cash for Jobs2web.  The transaction is expected to close late in 2011 and is not expected to have material impact on SuccessFactors' fourth quarter and full year 2011 results.

Eutelsat's KA-SAT Satellite Proves its Efficiency for Fast Video File Delivery

PARIS, December 6, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    The mobile facilities company Jackshoot is the first to deliver TV rushes over the
KA-SAT satellite of Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) in order to bring the
programme 'Live and Lost with Blackberry' to the UK's Channel 4 television station and
YouTube.

    Jackshoot's location crew were able to deliver rushes and proxy files direct to Pulse
Film's central London editing suite over KA-SAT, demonstrating how Eutelsat's new High
Throughput Satellite is game-changing technology for fast video file delivery for the
media industry.

    Channel 4's programme 'Live And Lost with Blackberry' lets viewers decide which route
a band takes to a show, resulting in a journey that frequently takes in rural locations.
Three of the biggest music acts (Chipmunk, Rizzle Kicks and Parade), equipped with a
BlackBerry and GBP20, were left in a remote location with five days to make their way
across the UK. The show is shot on location a few days before transmission and episodes
are posted daily onto YouTube.

    "In the past we have had people on location, travelling around the country editing the
show in the location truck which is expensive and time-consuming," explained Jackshoot
production director Simon Haywood. "Now, with the ability to send rushes and proxy files
over satellite, clients have flexibility and feedback opportunities that were just not
possible before. In the future, I also expect the film industry to take advantage of this
technology. There is a great opportunity for location film crews to transmit rushes back
for directors to review immediately,enabling instant feedback and saving time on
revisiting locations for reshoots."

    Jackshoot is the first in the UK to fit its location filming and editing van with an
ultra compact vehicle system designed specifically for Eutelsat's KA-SAT by Dawson, the
mobile broadcast specialists Dawson. The new Dawson GC-Zero 70 product uses a low profile
240mm antenna and enables the vehicle to connect and transmit at 10Mpbs.

    Ian Dawson, Managing Director of Dawson, commented: "We wanted to create a product for
the media industry that could take advantage of and match the innovation of Eutelsat's
KA-SAT satellite. This first antenna, as part of a new range of Ka antennas, is already
causing waves in the industry."

    Cristiano Benzi, Head of Video Value Added Services at Eutelsat, said: "This
innovative newsgathering application,developed and provided by our Skylogic
affiliate,prefigures a number of broadcast services that our new KA-SAT platform will be
able to deliver. Video contribution is entering a new era and we look forward to expanding
our commercial response to serve the needs of channels, production houses and news
agencies within the KA-SAT service area of Europe and the Mediterranean Basin."

    Operational since May this year, Eutelsat's KA-SAT satellite ushered in a new
generation of multi-spotbeam satellites. Its innovative concept is based on a payload with
82 narrow spotbeams connected to 10 ground stations. This configuration enables
frequencies to be reused 20 times and takes total throughput beyond 70Gbps, significantly
lowering the cost per bit for applications that include broadband and data services, such
as film file delivery.
