Konica Minolta Sensing Launches New CM-3600A/3610A Spectrophotometer

RAMSEY, N.J., June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Konica Minolta Sensing Americas, Inc. (KMSA), the worldwide leader in the industrial measurement of color, light and shape, announces the launch of its newest benchtop spectrophotometers the CM-3600A & CM-3610A.

The CM-3600A Spectrophotometer is a versatile instrument that can handle a wide variety of applications for measuring reflectance and transmittance of solids. With optional accessories, it can also measure the transmittance of liquids. Yet it remains surprisingly compact, with a footprint approximately the same as a laptop computer so it won't clutter up your desk. Its sample holder opens a full 90 degrees for easy positioning of samples and is equipped with a "soft-close" mechanism that prevents it from slamming shut or damaging samples. The cover of the sample viewer is equipped with a mirror, enabling the sample position to be checked without moving from your seat.

CM-3610A provides a different kind of versatility in vertical-format bottom-port spectrophotometer. Its piston-type sample holder makes sample positioning simple. It can be locked in the down position to enable the removal of any obstructions when first inserting samples. It can then be released so that it's piston moves smoothly upward to firmly hold samples in position. The bottom-port design enables easier handling of sheet materials such as paper, and it can also be used to measure powders or gels in a Petri-Dish. As with the CM-3600, it is also equipped with a sample viewer to see exactly what area is being measured, and it can also measure transmittance of solids (but not liquids) as well as reflectance.

Both units are the successors the acclaimed CM-3600d & CM-3610d models which revolutionized the benchtop market with an unprecedented cost performance ratio back in 1998 when first introduced. The new models retain all the innovative and unsurpassed technology their predecessors did while offering several technological enhancements to improve working efficiency. "Where color measurement is critical to an organizations success the CM-3600 series of instruments has played a vital role over the past thirteen years. We are very pleased to announce two new 3600 series models that will bring further value to our partners," said Randy Klimek, Project Manager at Konica Minolta Sensing Americas, Inc.

Main Features:

Full data compatibility with their predecessor

As the successors to the popular Spectrophotometer CM-3600d and CM-3610d, it is essential that the CM-3600A and CM-3610A have full data compatibility with the preceding models; so that they can be installed with confidence  as replacement or additional sensors in Quality Control and Color matching systems. To ensure full data compatibility, the new CM-3600A and CM-3610A utilize the same advanced technology as the original instruments.

Simultaneous SCI/SCE measurement

By firing two xenon lamps in quick succession, the patented Numerical Gloss Control system of the CM-3600A and CM-3610A eliminates the need for a mechanical gloss trap while providing virtually simultaneous SCI and SCE measurements and enabling the calculation of 8 degree gloss.

Fast, accurate UV adjustment

Accurate measurement of materials such as paper or cloth treated with fluorescent whitening agents requires precise control of the UV component and its effects. The Numerical UV Control method used by the CM-3600A and CM-3610A provides such control by combining results from flashes of two xenon lamps (one with full UV energy, the other with UV energy removed by a 400nm or 420nm UV cutoff filter) using proprietary calculations. This method eliminates the need for mechanical filter positioning, and enables UV adjustment by Whiteness Index, Tint, Brightness or UV profile.

Brighter, clearer sample viewer

Both models have a sample viewer that is equipped with a high-brightness LED to provide a bright, clear image of the measurement sample at the measurement aperture, enabling precise positioning of samples for measurement. Based on fixed optics the sample viewer requires no maintenance yielding unsurpassed stability and longevity.

USB communication

Data communication is performed via USB, which offers higher speed than the RS-232C of their predecessors.

American Leads The Industry With Its Mobile App Offerings

Debuts Apps for BlackBerry and Windows Phone Smartphones

Expands Mobile Boarding Pass, Instant Text Message Notification Options

FORT WORTH, Texas, June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- American Airlines continues its forward momentum in the mobile application space once again as it launches apps for BlackBerry® and Windows® Phone smartphones. These latest additions to American's suite of mobile apps make American accessible on more devices and through more channels than any other airline, underscoring its commitment to keeping its customers connected while on the go.

Available for the BlackBerry Curve(TM), BlackBerry Torch(TM), BlackBerry Tour(TM), BlackBerry Bold(TM) and Windows Phone smartphones, the new apps offer many of the same convenient mobile tools that are available in American's previously released apps for Android(TM), iPhone®, iPad®, iPod touch® and the Barnes & Noble NOOK Color Reader's Tablet(TM). These useful features, which are designed to simplify travel for American's customers on the go, include the ability to:

    --  Create flight status notifications
    --  Check flight status and  schedules
    --  View personal flight details
    --  Check in for flights
    --  Access mobile boarding passes
    --  Monitor standby status
    --  Access AAdvantage® accounts and enroll in the program
    --  Track AAdvantage elite status progress
    --  View terminal maps

In addition, a unique feature of American's app for BlackBerry smartphones allows users to save their flight itineraries directly to their calendars. A future version of the app will allow users to easily share their flight information with contacts via BBM(TM) (BlackBerry Messenger(TM)).

The introduction of American's apps for BlackBerry and Windows Phone smartphones also means that American's mobile apps are available to a large majority of smartphone users. According to a recent Nielsen report, BlackBerry, Android, Apple and Windows Phone make up 87 percent of the smartphone market. In addition, more than 90 percent of American Airlines customers who access AA.com's mobile site use devices on these platforms, highlighting American's focus on developing useful technologies that meet the needs of its customers.

"We know our customers continue to rely heavily on their mobile devices when traveling, and these new apps will simplify travel for a larger portion of them," said Andrew Watson, American's Vice President - Customer Technology. "Whether they need to check in for a flight, view their itinerary or access their mobile boarding pass, customers can use our apps to stay connected and make their travel experience more convenient right from the palms of their hands."

American's new apps are the latest in a number of recent mobile options and enhancements that American is rolling out to solidify its leadership in the mobile space. This month, American continued to expand its Mobile Boarding Pass functionality, which is now available to customers traveling through more than 65 cities, most recently adding Cincinnati; Hartford, Conn.; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Louisville, Ky.; Milwaukee; Madison, Wis.; and Montevideo, Uruguay. American plans to add even more cities to the list in July. As American continues to make the Mobile Boarding Pass option available across its network, customers around the world will benefit from the time (and paper) savings the technology offers.

The Mobile Boarding Pass process is simple. After checking in through one of American's mobile apps, the Mobile Boarding Pass is stored for easy access during the travel process. Customers who don't have an app can get their Mobile Boarding Pass through the online check-in process on AA.com by selecting the "Email with Mobile Option." They then will receive an email with an Internet link to their boarding pass, which is comprised of a 2-D barcode that can be scanned both at security checkpoints and at American Airlines gates. More details, including a complete list of cities where Mobile Boarding is available, can be found at AA.com/MobileBoarding.

To help customers stay connected throughout their travels, the AA.com Notification Center at AA.com/Connect enables AAdvantage members to set up flight status notification preferences just one time to automatically receive updates on gates, times and baggage claim areas via email, voicemail or text message for all their future flights. Customers can also set up notifications for friends and family and save up to 10 contacts in their AAdvantage profile. In addition, customers can still create a one-time notification for any American Airlines flight, even if they are not flying on that particular flight.

For customers who may not have an Internet enabled smartphone or one of American's mobile apps, the airline has developed a one-off text message notification option that provides customers information for specific flights on the day of travel. The recently launched FLYAA text option allows customers to send a text message with their flight number and airport code, or just their flight number, to FLYAA (35922) and receive an instant text response with useful details, including gates, times and baggage claim areas. Details on how to use the FLYAA text option can be found at AA.com/FLYAA.

"American's growth in all areas of the mobile space this past year has been very exciting for the company, as well as for our customers," said Rick Elieson, Managing Director - American Airlines Interactive Marketing. "We continue to look for ways to innovate and optimize the functionality within our mobile apps as well as develop other future mobile enhancements that will allow us to reach even more customers."

The new BlackBerry smartphone app can be downloaded by going to AA.com/BlackBerry on select smartphones running BlackBerry OS 5.0 or 6.0. The new Windows Phone app can be downloaded in the Windows Marketplace® on any smartphone using Windows Phone OS 7.0 (marketplace.windowsphone.com).

For additional terms and conditions related to Dunkin' Donuts' #DDMIX contest, please visit: http://www.dunkindonuts.com/content/dunkindonuts/en/promotions/socialrules.html.

So how do you "mix" in a frozen beverage like a Coolatta drink or iced coffee in your summer day to stay cool? To celebrate Mixology and the beginning of summer, Dunkin' Donuts recently conducted a survey of 500 Americans to determine the role frozen beverages play in keeping people refreshed and running. According to the survey, Americans are definitely intending to make frozen beverages a bigger part of their budget, as 93% of respondents plan to spend more on frozen beverages this summer. Additional findings include:

    --  One cup is just not enough. Only a third (33%) of respondents drink just
        one frozen beverage to keep cool, whereas two-thirds (67%) claim they
        need more than one frozen beverage to cool down. Forty-five percent
        (45%) said they drink two frozen beverages to feel cool, 12% said they
        drink three, and 10% said they drink at least four.
    --  The flavor of beverages has an effect on the "cool" factor. Thirty-seven
        percent (37%) of respondents said coffee is the frozen beverage flavor
        they prefer to help them keep cool, with vanilla second at 29%. The next
        most popular flavors are strawberry (16%), orange (10%) and blue
        raspberry (8%).
    --  Is afternoon the "coolest" part of the day? The early afternoon is the
        most popular time to enjoy a frozen beverage in summer, as 66% of
        respondents prefer drinking frozen beverages between 12 pm and 3 pm.
    --  Where is the absolute worst place to be without a frozen beverage?
        Seventy-five percent (75%) said that being stuck in a car in traffic is
        the worst, with a subway car / commuter train a distant second at 13%.

"As our survey shows, people rely on iced coffee and frozen beverages like our Coolatta® frozen slush drinks to stay refreshed, get that extra boost to keep themselves running at work and play, and stay cool no matter how hot the temperature," said John Costello, Chief Global Marketing and Innovation Officer at Dunkin' Brands. "With our new Coolatta flavor mixes, inspired by cool and creative combinations that are favorites with many of our guests, we continue to distinguish Dunkin' Donuts as the place to beat the heat with the best variety of icy cold beverages."

AutoVirt Appoints Caesar Naples Vice President of Engineering; Launches Version 3.6 (v3.6) Global Namespace and Data Migration Software

AutoVirt v3.6 Features Key Error Handling, Reporting, Intelligent Data Engine Placement and Migration Validation Enhancements Intended to Enable Faster and Easier Data Migrations

NASHUA, N.H., June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --AutoVirt, Inc.(TM) today announced two strategic developments intended to advance the company's standing as the leading provider of data migration and global namespace software.  The first is the general availability of version 3.6 (v3.6) of its award winning AutoVirt software, featuring key enhancements that will enable its strategic channel partners and end users to plan and execute data migrations more quickly and easily than ever before.  The second is the appointment of a prominent and well-respected software innovator, Caesar Naples, to the position of Vice President of Engineering.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081014/NETU030LOGO )

AutoVirt v3.6 Enhancements include:

    --  Error Handling - Virtually all data migrations encounter errors which
        can dramatically stall, if not completely halt, the migration.  AutoVirt
        v3.6 improves the process of error identification and resolution. After
        identifying all errors, AutoVirt retries the migration on only those
        files which encountered errors.  This targeted method of managing errors
        saves significant time over the course of the migration.
    --  Reporting - AutoVirt v3.6 provides the ability to drill-down further
        into specific migration events and an improved graphical user interface
        (GUI) dashboard that features real-time migration status reporting and
        notifications.
    --  Intelligent Data Engine Placement - AutoVirt v3.6 can be deployed
        locally or remotely (i.e., on migration sources and/or destinations)
        providing the ability to virtually eliminate network impact during data
        migrations.
    --  Migration Validation - AutoVirt v3.6 provides the ability to quickly and
        accurately confirm consistency between migration source and destination.

"In spite of all the data center virtualization efforts that seek to create a unified storage management framework, NAS environments in most companies continue to be fragmented and poorly utilized. AutoVirt solves these challenges by allowing IT administrators to non-disruptively move data between frames while creating a unified namespace. These capabilities are further enhanced in v3.6 with improved error handling and intelligent data engine placement," said Ashish Nadkarni, Senior Analyst and Consultant, Taneja Group.

In addition to releasing v3.6, AutoVirt has appointed Caesar Naples to the position of Vice President of Engineering.

"I'm very excited to be joining the AutoVirt team.  AutoVirt's global namespace is an incredibly powerful remedy to a major source of pain for IT administrators today.  Their out-of-band approach provides a non-intrusive, scalable, cost-effective solution.  That, coupled with state-of-the-art data mobility tools, will allow AutoVirt to redefine data management," said Caesar Naples, Vice President of Engineering, AutoVirt. "Additionally the feature enhancements in AutoVirt v3.6 echo this philosophy and are the direct result of strategic channel partner and end user feedback.  AutoVirt v3.6 will help enable our customers to complete their business critical data center initiatives, as well as finally be able to address those 'back-burner' projects."

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Ryz Media announced the launch of blinQ, a new app that turns mobile devices into a connected interface that lets viewers find and watch the best shows on TV with a single click. blinQ puts the power of discovery in the hands of the viewer.

blinQ lets viewers see live information about the most popular shows on TV by location and provides updates on the programs their friends are watching in the moment - all through the screen of their mobile device. Powered by an array of servers in the cloud, blinQ provides a rich TV viewing experience regardless of the brand of the TV or the type of cable or satellite set-top box.

Through blinQ, viewers are empowered to find and watch the shows they love, and to discover interesting TV programs based on their personal and peer preferences. TV programs are ordered by their popularity rather than by the traditional channel lineup.

The new blinQ app also provides innovative social features that connect viewers to one another. Within the app, viewers can not only post and view posts from other viewers within and outside of their own networks, but can also invite friends to join virtual viewing parties to watch their favorite TV shows together.

"With the explosion of programming choices on TV, viewers need help figuring out what to watch," said Zeev Braude, CEO of Ryz Media. "blinQ provides a powerful new TV interface that helps viewers quickly find what's great on TV based on their personal interests, social network and show popularity and then navigate to it with a single click."

The blinQ announcement comes only days after Ryz Media released the latest version of its infra-red emitter, known as the "Q", which plugs into the headset jack of all generation iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices to transform the device into a universal remote.

The blinQ app can be downloaded for free from the App Store, while the cool, orb-shaped infra-red emitter costs only $9.99, including shipping and handling.

Hi-Res images of the new app can be downloaded here: http://ryzmedia.com/v1.0/assets2/ryz-assets.htm.

About Ryz Media

Wireless Technology Now Allows Diabetes Patients to Manage Their Disease Real-Time and On-the-Go

AT&T mHealth Solutions Presents DiabetesManager Launches with AT&T and Health Care Service Corporation Employees with Goal of Improving Healthcare Outcomes and Reducing Costs

DALLAS, June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 26 million adults and children in the United States -- or 8.3 percent of the population -- have diabetes. Imagine if this sizeable group was able to more easily manage their diabetes while at work, at home, or on-the-go by using an easy-to-use self-management tool on their mobile device. What if they were able to receive real-time clinically based feedback and virtual coaching on effective lifestyle and medication adjustments? And what if the information they entered into their compatible device could be sent to healthcare professionals without having to visit a doctor's office?

That reality is here today thanks to AT&T's* launch of mHealth pilots underway with employees at:

    --  AT&T - one of the nation's largest corporate payers of healthcare
        coverage, which covers more than 1.2 million employees and retirees and
        their dependents.
    --  Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC) - the largest customer-owned
        health insurer in the U.S. and fourth largest overall, which operates
        Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans in Illinois, Texas, New Mexico and
        Oklahoma.

The AT&T mHealth Solutions presents DiabetesManager® is an initiative between AT&T and WellDoc®, the maker of DiabetesManager®, one of the first mHealth solutions to receive clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration for adults with Type 2 diabetes.

For up to six months, a select group of employees at each company will use the new solution to capture and analyze diabetes information such as blood sugar levels and carbohydrate intake and will receive real-time messages on what to do differently if levels are too high or too low. AT&T welcomes customers interested in negotiating agreements for use of the mHealth service on a commercial basis.

The solution helps health plans, disease management organizations and corporate payers effectively provide diabetes patients with tools to help them manage their disease and reduce costs. The end-to-end mHealth enterprise solution combines the DiabetesManager application and feedback engine with AT&T's highly secure hosting environment, support and customer care specifically designed to enable AT&T and its customers to comply with all applicable HIPAA requirements.

Key Facts:

    --  A patient can enter their blood glucose readings, medication
        information, and other lifestyle information into DiabetesManager, which
        through the use of a clinical analytics engine provides automated,
        real-time feedback on the patient's specific data. This way, the patient
        can take immediate action to help manage their disease.
    --  This valuable patient information is also made available to nurses, case
        workers and doctors who can review the information through an enterprise
        portal and provide additional communication to the patient, if needed,
        about what action he or she needs to take.
    --  AT&T has launched an enterprise-ready mHealth solution in a highly
        secure hosted environment to help keep patient information secure. The
        solution's infrastructure was subject to rigorous third party testing to
        ensure that it meets the requirements of HIPAA's Security Rule.
    --  AT&T and HCSC plan to evaluate how the mHealth solution can change and
        improve patient behavior and the way in which caregivers interact with
        patients. The solution enables caregivers to virtually monitor all of
        their patients, but allows them to focus on patients who need help the
        most, while still supporting other, less critical cases.

"'We tell our people, 'Now, you can take your healthcare with you.'" said Denise Harper-Saxon, case management nurse at HCSC. "This solution is helping us engage and interact with folks in ways we couldn't before."

"We know AT&T can scale this solution to millions of people through its network and solutions, which is why we chose to work with them," said Kristin Conley, vice president and Enterprise Process Leader, HCSC.

"Diabetes is one of the most common disease conditions, and the AT&T population is no exception," said Marty Webb, vice president, Benefits, Human Resources, AT&T Services Inc. "We're excited to pilot this new mHealth solution to help our employees effectively manage their health and their diabetes."

AT&T generated approximately $4.9 billion in revenue from healthcare industry businesses such as hospitals, insurers, pharmaceutical companies, suppliers and physicians in 2010.

Changyou.com to Begin Open Beta Testing of "Duke of Mount Deer" on July 22, 2011

BEIJING, June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Changyou.com Limited ("Changyou" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CYOU), a leading online game developer and operator in China, today announced that it will begin open-beta testing of Duke of Mount Deer, an inhouse-developed 3D fantasy martial-arts massively multi-player online role-playing game ("MMORPG") on July 22, 2011.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090402/CNTH020)

Four years in the making, Duke of Mount Deer is Changyou's second inhouse-developed MMORPG.  Using two different game engines and the latest 3D rendering technology, the game displays beautifully rendered, cinematic quality graphics, and recreates the imaginary martial arts world from the final book of Louis Cha's popular novel series.  The game also features the company's self-developed seamless server connectivity technology that, for the first time in a MMORPG, allows gamers to move beyond the server where they originally registered and engage in competitions and social activities with users that are logged in on separate servers.  This server technology greatly improves the social reach of individual players and creates one all-encompassing game universe.  In addition, the game introduces a novel "server vs. server" battle mode that brings communities of users on different servers together to fight against competing teams on other servers for land, resources and dominance over the whole game universe.

Mr. Tao Wang, Changyou's chief executive officer, commented, "As our second inhouse-developed MMORPG, we look to further our leadership position in the industry with the launch of Duke of Mount Deer on July 22.  The game incorporates many innovative game features that have been requested by gamers in China and overseas, and is the combined effort of our top engineers, graphic artists and professional game testers.  Incorporating new technology, cutting edge graphic capabilities, and both eastern and western design themes, we have created a new and exciting universe for gamers to experience."

No CD or USB Needed for Permanent Data Deletion: BluestSoft, Inc. Introduces Windows-based DiskDeleter EX Client-Server Solution

IRVINE, Calif., June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Who can see our confidential data? That's the question BluestSoft, Inc. (http://www.bluestsoft.com) says businesses and individuals alike need to ask themselves before getting rid of their old computers. And the answer can now definitively be "no one" -- provided the new BluestSoft DiskDeleter EX EXE has been used to permanently wipe the hard drive.

"Neither erasing files by emptying the recycle bin nor formatting hard drives will destroy data permanently," explained Mike Inamine, president of BluestSoft, Inc. "So if you want to safely sell, donate, discard, or return your computer, you need to know you're actually eliminating your confidential information."

The surest way to do that is by using BluestSoft DiskDeleter EX EXE. Running on Windows from a shared network drive or via a remote operation tool, DiskDeleter EX EXE reboots the system and deletes everything on the disk. DiskDeleter EX EXE requires no CD, floppy disk or USB and is guaranteed to permanently erase hard drive data from PCs.

As DiskDeleter EX EXE completes the data deletion process, it uploads delete progress information and delete reports to the BluestSoft DiskDeleter EX Server, giving administrators a real-time, at-a-glance progress overview. BluestSoft DiskDeleter EX Server can reside on the client's servers; those in need of a more economical solution can choose to use DiskDeleter EX Server from the BluestSoft Data Center.

DiskDeleter EX EXE supports 12 different delete methods, including DOD5220.22-M, the standard recommended by the U.S. Department of Defense to guarantee all data previously contained on a hard drive is permanently erased. Using advanced technologies, including special disk access technology and multi-thread technology, DiskDeleter EX EXE can delete data at industry-leading speeds.

"DiskDeleter EX EXE can erase a single disk at just 12 seconds per gigabyte and two disks at eight seconds per gigabyte. The more disks DiskDeleter EX EXE has to delete, the faster it works," Inamine stated. "BluestSoft is pleased to offer this high level of performance to mid-sized and larger businesses in need of guaranteed permanent data deletion on multiple PCs."

BluestSoft DiskDeleter EX EXE supports most Windows operating systems, including Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2008, Windows 2003 and Windows 2000; DiskDeleter EX Server supports Windows 2008 Server and Windows 2003 Server.

Broadcom Premier Custom IC Program Helps Alcatel-Lucent Develop Industry's First 400Gbps Network Processor

Vast Library and Customized IP Provide Breakthrough Performance and Faster Time-to-Market for Top Tier OEMs

News Highlights:

- Top networking OEMs look to Broadcom for custom IC design - more than 12 million shipped

- Broad IP portfolio and customized libraries enable optimized performance at system level

- Proven time-tested design flow provides fast and reliable path to production

IRVINE, Calif., June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications, today announced that Alcatel-Lucent utilized the Broadcom® Premier Custom IC Program to develop and deploy the industry's first 400 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) FP3 Network Processor. By supporting 400Gbps transmission speeds, the new FP3 processor opens new possibilities for bandwidth-intensive services, applications and content, while cutting power consumption by up to 50 percent.

With more than 12 million custom networking ICs shipped, the Broadcom Premier Custom IC program offers a higher level of service and performance than traditional custom ASICs, providing superior execution and faster time-to-market. By leveraging the combination of Broadcom's proven design methodology, vast IP library and more than 100 customized libraries, Alcatel-Lucent achieved its aggressive performance and development schedule requirements.

Design Complexity and Efficiency Drive Market Opportunity 

The exponential increase in design complexity in today's system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions combined with product differentiation and time-to-market pressures has led OEM manufacturers to rely on Broadcom's Premier Custom IC Program rather than choose a custom ASIC supplier. Broadcom's Premier Custom IC Program offers one of the most extensive networking, mixed signal, and high speed interface IP portfolios available in the industry, a proven time-tested design methodology, and the ability to create custom libraries. By combining these key elements, Broadcom provides a more reliable path to production, thus avoiding costly multiple chip spins and/or schedule delays.

Quotes:

Asad Khamisy, Vice President of Engineering, Network Switch, Broadcom

"In today's drive for design efficiency, be it performance, cost, power, or schedule, OEM manufacturers require a silicon partner that can provide all the crucial elements necessary to get their product to market before the competition. By leveraging our well defined and rigorous design process, our proven ability to integrate complex analog and digital circuits, our massive IP library and made-to-order custom libraries, we can deliver a level of customization and performance tuning that clearly surpasses the design services of our competitors."

Ken Kutzler, Vice President of Engineering, Alcatel-Lucent

"Over the last decade we have firmly established leadership in Network Processor design, pushing the envelope of speed as well as functionality. To extend this lead we sought a partner who shared our goal of mining every ounce of performance from the raw silicon. Broadcom's Premier Custom IC Program provided the right components to enable our innovative FP3 network processor, the industry's first to support clear channel 400Gbps data rates. The combination of our mutual proven design methodologies and expertise, coupled with Broadcom's vast proprietary 40nm libraries and customized elements came together to meet our aggressive performance and feature requirements while maintaining a reliable path to production."

KAHULUI, Hawaii, June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Maui GPS Tour Guide is a virtual tour guide that talks to vacationers as they drive around Maui. Using the GPS built into the iPhone or iPad 3G, the Tour Guide knows exactly where travelers are and alerts them to hidden beaches, scenic attractions and hikes, and also tells them about the island's history, geography and unique plants and animals.

"Imagine having a Maui expert drive with you to tell you about the island," explains HawaiiGaga.com developer Cathy Pretorius.

The Tour Guide is split into 5 Tours: West Maui, Central Maui, South Maui, Haleakala, and the Hana Highway. Combined, they cover the entire island and include the many historic sites of Lahaina, the highway beyond Kapalua, all the attractions of the Hana highway, including the highway past Hana, Haleakala National Park and the sounds of some endangered birds found in the region, Iao Valley, and the many snorkeling sites and beaches of South Maui. Users select and purchase the tours they want from inside the application based on the regions they intend to visit.

Those with Apple devices like the iPod Touch, which doesn't have a GPS, can still download the application and take advantage of the comprehensive beach and snorkeling guides with panoramic photos, hiking information, weather and surf forecasts, driving directions, and Maui background information.

The Maui GPS Tour Guide is scheduled to be released on July 8. More information can be found at http://www.hawaiigaga.com/hawaii-iphone-apps.aspx.

ATK Spacecraft Bus Supports ORS-1 Satellite Launch

Operationally Responsive Space Vision Realized with Successful Lift-Off

ATK Answers the Call with Rapid Execution, Innovative Technology and Affordable Solutions

MINNEAPOLIS, June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --ATK's (NYSE: ATK) RSMB (Responsive Space Modular Bus)  is included in the Department of Defense's Operationally Responsive Space-1 (ORS-1)  satellite, which was successfully launched from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island, Va. on June 29th, 2011.

ORS-1 is the first satellite in the DoD's Operationally Responsive Space program designed to support Combatant Command operations as an operational satellite. The ORS-1 mission focuses on the quick deployment of a small satellite with innovative sensor technologies to provide real-time support to commanders in the battlefield.

ATK's spacecraft bus met the ORS program goals of being operationally responsive with affordable technology and unprecedented rapid execution from design to launch. ATK built the bus in just 16 months at its Beltsville, Maryland facility and shipped it ahead of schedule to Goodrich Corporation, the prime contractor for the ORS-1 satellite. The satellite was developed and delivered in just 30 months, an achievement described by Space Development and Test Directorate acting director Col. Carol Welsch as "accomplishing the impossible."

"This accomplishment demonstrates the ability to achieve remarkable milestones that were a first for the satellite industry. From design review to production, testing and delivery, the ATK team successfully executed on rigorous mission requirements that met the expectations of our industry and government customers in months instead of years," said Tom Wilson, vice president and general manager of the Spacecraft Systems & Services division of ATK Aerospace Systems Group. "Our capability to build small satellites quickly and affordably sets us apart and positions us well for future opportunities in this growth market."

The satellite bus is based on the design ATK developed for the successful TacSat-3 satellite (an earlier demonstration program) with the addition of a propulsion module. The satellite launched in 2009, transitioned to full operation in October 2010, and continues to support warfighters in the battlefield.

ATK's San Diego facility in California also provided the ORS-1 payload's telescope structure under subcontract to Goodrich. Working closely with Goodrich, the team accomplished a challenging schedule of hardware delivery within eight months.

The ORS-1 program is managed and executed by the Space Development & Test Directorate, SMC/SD at Kirtland Air Force Base. SMC/SD is executing the program for the ORS Office, which is a joint initiative of several agencies within the DoD responsible for integrating joint ORS capabilities and applying ORS resources to the development, acquisition and demonstration of capabilities to meet specific responsive space needs as established by global combatant command joint force commanders.

ATK is an aerospace, defense, and commercial products company with operations in 23 states, Puerto Rico, and internationally, with revenues of approximately $4.8 billion.  News and information can be found on the Internet at http://www.atk.com.

Trimble Introduces New RTX Technology

Breakthrough High-Accuracy Correction Technology Redefines Corrections Landscape

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today its new high-accuracy Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) correction technology, Trimble® RTX technology. Trimble RTX (Real-Time Extended) combines real-time data with innovative positioning and compression algorithms to deliver better than 4 centimeter (1.5 inch) repeatable accuracy with as little as one minute convergence in selected areas. The new technology utilizes real-time data from a global reference station infrastructure to compute centimeter level positions based on satellite orbit and clock information. Trimble RTX powers the new Trimble CenterPoint(TM) RTX(TM) correction service.

Trimble pioneered RTK technology in the early 1990s, which enabled high-accuracy corrections for field applications. RTK is now recognized as the industry leading technology for centimeter-level positioning. To further improve accuracy, Trimble introduced VRS(TM) technology in 2000 and subsequently the Trimble VRS Now(TM) service. And now, Trimble continues to lead in technology innovation with the introduction of Trimble RTX technology.

Trimble RTX Technology

The patent-pending Trimble RTX technology provides high-accuracy GNSS positioning without the use of traditional reference station-based differential RTK infrastructure. While standard autonomous GNSS position solutions provide accuracies in the 1 meter range, Trimble RTX can achieve better than 4 centimeter (1.5 inch) accuracies in real time.

In addition to accuracy, in select areas, Trimble RTX can deliver a convergence time of less than one minute, enabling work to start immediately. And Trimble RTX can bridge interruptions in the GNSS signals for up to 2 minutes, avoiding reconvergence delays, while maintaining the same superior accuracy performance.

The new Trimble CenterPoint RTX correction service pairs the RTX positioning innovations with convenient, easy to access satellite delivery, eliminating the need for cellular coverage and data plans traditionally required to obtain high performance positions. The GNSS-enabled service will be available initially in central North America for select Trimble receivers.

"With the release of Trimble RTX technology and CenterPoint RTX service, we continue to demonstrate our leadership in technology innovation," said Patricia Boothe, general manager of Trimble's Positioning Services Division. "In addition, this represents the first collaboration between Trimble's positioning technology team and the satellite delivery capabilities behind the recently acquired OmniSTAR services. Trimble is committed to offering a suite of correction technologies and services that can satisfy any accuracy, delivery and financial requirement, across a variety of applications and markets including agriculture, survey, mapping and GIS, and construction."

About Trimble

Trimble applies technology to make field and mobile workers in businesses and government significantly more productive. Solutions are focused on applications requiring position or location--including surveying, construction, agriculture, fleet and asset management, public safety and mapping. In addition to utilizing positioning technologies, such as GPS, lasers and optics, Trimble solutions may include software content specific to the needs of the user. Wireless technologies are utilized to deliver the solution to the user and to ensure a tight coupling of the field and the back office. Founded in 1978, Trimble is headquartered in Sunnyvale, Calif.

Arab exchanges and we therefore continue to represent untapped investment
potential," Aweidah concluded.

    Ammar Aker, CEO of Paltel Group, said: "We at the Paltel Group are very
happy with our listing at the Palestine Exchange. The exchange in 2010 was
the most rewarding in terms of return on investment averaging 13.6%; with
distributed dividends exceeding USD 152 million. Paltel Group contributed
USD$74.26 million to these dividends, a ratio of 49%. We will continue to
lead with our innovation and positive outlook for the future. Our free float
of 51.9% allows more investors to seriously come into our market and own our
stock. Once they own our stock, they can be part of our promise. While
maintaining our gains from 2010 our strategy will focus on additional
diversification of our revenue streams from data communications, while
developing our backbone for more content channeling in the fixed line
operations. For our mobile operations, the future is in 3G technology, and
multimedia applications, we are certainly determined to use these new
platforms to increase our market share and benefit from the good remaining
penetration rate. We see growth indicators in all our operations for 2012
and certainly will channel this growth back to our investors in our
consistent dividends policy."

    The second PEX road show to London was organized in partnership with
Paltel Group (Sponsors) and is in line with the strategic outlook of PEX to
attract local, regional and international investors into the Palestinian
stock market.

Social Media Powers Laptops and More for Wounded Troops

Soldiers' Angels Project Valour-IT Conducts Online Fundraising Competition

PASADENA, Calif., June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As the number of American Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines suffering battlefield wounds continues to grow, today's economic challenges continue to squeeze military support nonprofits.  Soldiers' Angels Project Valour-IT -- which has supplied over 6,000 severely wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines with adaptive laptops and other devices to aid their recovery and reintegration -- is addressing that squeeze with a fundraising technique it pioneered: online competition. 

Held July 1-14, the Valour-IT fundraising competition will draw on blogging, Facebook, Twitter and other social media to raise money and awareness for the needs of wounded troops.  Divided among four "virtual teams" named in honor of U.S. military service branches, participants will also use flyers, word-of-mouth and traditional media outlets to spread the word.  The goal is to raise at least $100,000, which will meet increased demand for Valour-IT services through October 2011. 

"Project Valour-IT changes lives," says Soldiers' Angels founder Patti Patton-Bader. "Wounded heroes report that being able to use a laptop helps them feel whole again.  Physical therapists are actually designing therapy sessions around Wii Sports!  And something as normal as a handheld GPS reduces stress and helps a hero cope.  It's just amazing what this project does!"

Each of the devices Valour-IT supplies helps restore confidence and independence for a wounded hero.  Voice-activated laptops reconnect the wounded with the world and develop self-confidence by showing soldiers they can continue to be engaged and productive despite their injuries.  Servicemembers also use the laptops to research their medical care or prepare for a post-military career.  Physical therapists report Wii Sports is extremely motivational and beneficial when used in physical therapy settings, and wounded personnel with short-term memory loss due to TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and severe PTSD use GPS systems to keep from getting lost or disoriented when they move on to more independent living.

For more information about the fundraising competition, email campaign@soldiersangels.org or visit http://www.soldiersangels.org to donate.  All funds raised go directly to wounded troops with no overhead costs removed, and requests for support are vetted through case managers. 

About Soldiers' Angels

Established in 2003, Soldiers' Angels is a volunteer-based, award-winning 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing aid and comfort to members of the United States Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard, as well as veterans and military families.

Iconnyx Produces iPad Productivity Guide

LONDON, June 30, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    - New Guide on Managing the iPad-equipped Workforce

    Companies who have equipped their workforce with an iPad can now ensure
they have a productivity and continuity strategy in place, following a guide
[http://www.iconnyx.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/How-to-manage-the-iPad-equiped-workforce.pdf ]
produced by Iconnyx, the managed IT services/hosting provider.

    With iPad applications ranging from sales presentations to scheduling
and design, many organisations
[http://www.finextra.com/news/fullstory.aspx?newsitemid"057 ] are now
choosing to invest in iPads as the standard mobile IT hardware. Whilst
welcome among end users, the tablets are often not incorporated within the IT
management policy, with many companies not yet proactively planning for
associated IT support and continuity issues.

    The iPad Productivity Guide focuses on four key areas: security,
continuity, application management and connectivity, ensuring companies get
the most from their investment.

    It prepares them for some common areas, most typically:

    iPad loss and associated damage limitation - insurance of hardware and
information security

    Creating, synching and erasing iPad apps - maximising productivity,
minimising cost

    Virus and password protection - keeping the workforce working without
disruption

    "I think the iPad is possibly one of the best technology advancements
ever created for the mobile workforce," said Tim Walker
[http://www.linkedin.com/pub/tim-walker/0/193/127 ] , MD at Iconnyx.
"However, it is often neither a strategic business nor IT decision when a
company distributes them across the workforce, meaning some of these issues
fall by the wayside. It's our aim to ensure that companies enjoy all the
benefits of the iPad design and applications, without experiencing the
headaches. Some proactive planning will enable them to do this."

WPF and Silverlight Gauge Control Suite by DevExpress - for Digital Dashboard-Style User Interfaces and KPIs

Easy-to-Use with advanced presentation options, the DXGauge Suite by DevExpress allows software developers to incorporate cutting edge user interfaces to their next WPF and Silverlight applications.

GLENDALE, Calif., June 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- DevExpress is proud to announce the immediate availability of its WPF and Silverlight Gauge Control Suite. Built and optimized for Visual Studio .NET, this Gauge control simplifies the way in which developers create and deliver dashboard-style UIs to their customers when targeting the WPF and Silverlight platforms.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090310/LA81628LOGO)

The DevExpress WPF and Silverlight Gauge Control ships with the following features:

Built-in Models

The DXGauge Suite delivers more than 20 built-in models, each defining a consistent look-and-feel for all gauge elements. These models contain element colors and element shapes, sizes and other associated parameters.

Scale Ranges

Circular and Linear scales can be divided into any number of ranges with their limits specified either in percents or in absolute values. In addition, scale ranges provide support for end-user interaction. This is done by raising special events when any indicator enters or leaves a range and makes it possible to change a gauge's picture or perform any other action based upon current value.

End-User Interaction

In order to provide extended end-user interaction with the Gauge Control, we've included the ability to change indicator values at runtime along with comprehensive hit-test support. For example, you can create a knob-like gauge for use in your dashboards, then allow end-users to manipulate the knob to adjust values in the application.

Animations

The DXGauge Suite supports fluid animation of all movable elements in a gauge. Additionally there are many properties including multiple easing options that allow for a extended control over every aspect of the animation.
