FREETALK TV Transforms Communications -- Delivers Skype-Enabled Video Calling to Samsung Televisions; Distributed Globally by In Store Solutions

New camera system brings Skype video calls to Samsung C7000 & C8000 Series LED HDTVs

GERONA, Spain, May 18 -- Consumer electronics brand FREETALK today announced availability of the FREETALK® TV, a groundbreaking camera system that enables consumers to make voice and video calls through their high-definition televisions. Created for Samsung's premium C7000 and C8000 series of LED HDTVs featuring the Skype App accessible through Samsung Apps, the FREETALK TV system delivers VGA video calling from your living room at affordable consumer prices*.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20091110/INSTORELOGO)

Many consumers and business people have already installed these cutting-edge 2010 Samsung LED televisions in their homes and offices. These TVs feature Samsung Apps, the world's first app store for TVs and Blu-ray players.  Now, they can add the FREETALK TV camera system to enable video and audio conferencing capability and/or make and receive voice calls using Skype from their couch, easy chair, desk, or conference room as easily as they would using their  PC - all at prices that make true-to-life video communications affordable for everyone.

"Skype has more than half a billion registered users around the world utilizing Skype on their computers or mobile phones, and we wanted to give them a uniquely personal way to take the technology one step further," said Mike Padmore, Product Manager for FREETALK. "The FREETALK TV is transformational technology that will empower consumers to use their television as a contemporary videophone. By working hand in hand with Skype and Samsung, we have been able to deliver a breakthrough video calling solution to consumers at a very low cost."

Simplicity is a major benefit of the FREETALK TV. The camera system quickly and easily mounts magnetically to the television, and utilizes a USB cable for connectivity so that nothing detracts from the stylish design of these ultra slim TVs. Using the TV remote control, consumers can create free Skype accounts, log into existing accounts, and navigate via a simple Skype interface on the television screen.

Another key feature is the system's affordability. While many high-end videoconferencing products are priced at thousands of dollars, the FREETALK TV camera system sells for as little as $149 USD (click here for pricing by country), providing a cost-effective solution for consumers who want to make video calls from their televisions. In addition, Skype video calls are free, as are voice calls between Skype users. Consumers who use the FREETALK TV camera system and Skype to call landlines or mobile phones are charged only pennies per minute or as part of their Skype subscriptions**.

The FREETALK TV features a state-of-the-art video camera that creates VGA video, with up to 30 frames per second using H.264 video compression and Wide Video Graphics Array (WVGA) display resolution. The affordable, lightweight system features four unidirectional high quality microphones. This allows users to talk freely and clearly from up to four meters (over 13 feet) away from the television. Voice calls placed through the FREETALK TV utilize Skype's SILK audio codec, which enables the wideband audio.

"The FREETALK TV brings Skype voice and video calling to people in the comfort of their living rooms," said Ed Botterill, certification manager for Skype. "We're thrilled to extend Skype beyond computers and allow people to connect with family and friends through their television - at a much lower price than competing room-based video conferencing systems."

In Store Solutions is a partner merchant for the Skype Shop globally.

Historic Washington International School Deploys Powerful and Reliable Xirrus Wi-Fi Arrays

Xirrus Wi-Fi Arrays Deliver a Scalable Wireless Infrastructure Using Half the Devices

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., May 18 -- Xirrus®, the Wi-Fi "Power Play" that delivers the most coverage, bandwidth, and user density in the industry, announced today the deployment of Xirrus high performance 802.11n Wi-Fi Arrays at Washington International School, located in Washington D.C. Founded in 1966 to meet the educational needs of Washington's international community and American families, this coeducational day school educates over 900 students representing more than 90 countries, on two beautiful campuses in the northwest area of D.C. This diverse learning environment found that the Xirrus product was the only solution powerful and robust enough to scale to meet their future wireless initiatives, requiring just half the devices to deploy over competitive solutions.

To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/historic-washington-international-scho ol-deploys-powerful-and-reliable-xirrus-wi-fi-arrays-94142384.html

"When faced with upgrading our inadequate legacy network, we searched for a wireless solution that would cover our entire facility in a very powerful and robust way. The appeal of Xirrus over the competition was the low number of devices required to get excellent coverage throughout the building. Deploying Xirrus was a 50% reduction in the number of devices we would have to purchase, install and manage," said Chad Fairey, Director of Information Services for Washington International School. "During the Xirrus site survey, they were very thoughtful of how the wireless signals would be affected when students were present. A lot of other companies will give you a map based on mathematics, but won't consider the moving bodies of water the students and faculty represent. This was a major advantage for Xirrus and I'm convinced we made the right choice for our wireless implementation."

Chad continued, "Scalability was very important to us when developing our wireless network. If we add 300 laptops to the campus next year, we wanted a system that can scale to meet those demands. We are confident the central management tool and the planning tools that are inherent in the Xirrus product will support our future requirements. The architecture of the Array allows us to directionally focus the Wi-Fi signal strength, providing a lot of flexibility and control over our network. The technical support Xirrus offers has been exceptional. Xirrus is one of those systems you put in place and then stop worrying about because the technology just works!"

ImageSoft Hosts Government Summit to Foster Lean Government Practices

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., May 18 -- Overburdened government agencies face a multitude of daily roadblocks to serving their constituents.  Dwindling budgets, reduced staffing and complex regulatory compliance guidelines have only compounded the obstacles.

ImageSoft, Inc., of Southfield, will unite key stakeholders from the public and private sector next month in Lansing, Mich., to discuss strategies for improving government processes, with the end goal of increasing efficiency, reducing costs and delivering greater value to constituents.

More than 100 participants from a variety of city, county and state agencies, including family services, the courts, prosecutor's office, clerk's office, IT, law enforcement and other departments, have registered for the ImageSoft Government Summit to be held June 10 at the James B. Henry Center for Executive Development.

ImageSoft, which provides technology to automate, streamline and improve workplace processes, has assembled a host of speakers to discuss how government can gain efficiencies, increase productivity and cut costs by adapting lean processes and utilizing enterprise content management (ECM) technology and workflow.

"Our hope is that participants will leave the Summit with strategies and tactics that they will find worthwhile and applicable in their organizations and with a better understanding of the value of ECM across the government enterprise," said Scott Bade, ImageSoft President.

The Summit will introduce the Lean disciplines--so common to reducing costs in manufacturing--to government.  Participants will hear from experts who teach lean principals and from providers of technology that helps foster lean processes.  They will also hear from government agencies that have benefited from the tools.

Featured speakers will include Oakland County CIO/Deputy County Executive Phil Bertolini, a vocal advocate for enterprise solutions in government, cross-boundary resource sharing and inter-jurisdictional cooperation.  Bryan Beach, lean program manager at the Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center, will provide the keynote address on Improving Government Using Transactional Lean.

Bade will present a session on creating a paper-on-demand court.  In conjunction with the Summit, ImageSoft has also published a white paper on The Paper-On-Demand Court; ECM in the Courts, which will be distributed to summit participants.

"Paper-on-demand is a way of thinking," said Bade.  "It is a discipline that when made pervasive throughout the court enterprise, dramatic cost savings follow.  ECM systems provide significant, paradigm-shifting value to courts of all types.  In fact, the savings to a court are greater than any other single technology initiative."

The day-long Summit will begin at 8 a.m. and conclude at 4:45 p.m.  Admission is free to government employees, $125 for all others and includes continental breakfast and lunch.  For details, or to register for the ImageSoft Government Summit, visit http://www.imagesoftinc.com

About ImageSoft, Inc.

ImageSoft was founded in 1996 and today serves customers throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico.  Its markets include insurance companies, government, the courts, healthcare and educational institutions, and manufacturers.  An award-winning company, ImageSoft has twice been named one of the Fastest-Growing Privately Held Companies by Inc. Magazine and is repeatedly selected as one of Michigan's Economic Bright Spots and as one of Metropolitan Detroit's 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For.  Additionally, in 2008 the Edward Lowe Foundation cited ImageSoft as a Michigan 50 Companies to Watch.  For more information visit http://www.imagesoftinc.com

CTProComply A Best-of-Both-Worlds Solution to Regulatory Compliance Needs for Small- and Mid-Sized Businesses

Combined Corporate Compliance and Registered Agent Tool from CT Corporation Simplifies Business Requirement Practices

NEW YORK, May 18 -- When it comes to automating their corporate regulatory compliance, licensing and business formation processes, small- and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) have been caught in the netherworld between entrepreneur-focused Web sites and full-scale, enterprise-class software packages aimed at larger corporations.  With today's introduction of CTProComply, SMB decision-makers now have a tailored solution that gives them the ease of use of a Web-based solution with the breadth of functionality to handle the evolving needs of their growing business.

Created by CT Corporation, part of CT, a Wolters Kluwer business, and the leading provider of registered agent services, CTProComply is an online service, giving customers the ability to easily control all aspects of content and the processes involved in the documentation of and scheduling of business filings in one simple, collaborative work environment.

With the annual cost of complying with federal regulations totaling $1.1 trillion, small companies pay a disproportionate percentage - almost 45 percent more per employee in annual regulatory compliance costs than larger companies, according to the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

Before CTProComply, SMB decision-makers had two basic options:  They could use existing online tools that cater to entrepreneurs or invest in a robust solution aimed at large enterprises.  When a business has outgrown the startup stage or has emerged into a steady growth mid-sized company, but does not yet require the complexity of a solution for a large enterprise, they can now turn to CTProComply. This online compliance solution is specifically built for the SMB market, providing consolidated tracking, filing and maintenance services designed to help these businesses remain in good standing with multiple regulatory agencies and avoid fines associated with lapses in compliance.

"Our goal with CTProComply is to give smaller businesses the same peace of mind that large corporations have found in working with CT Corporation for over a century," said Diane Brown, executive vice president and general manager of CT Corporation. "Customers can reduce the time spent managing their company's compliance, gain confidence that their business is in full compliance with regulatory obligations, get affordable statutory representation without bargaining and potentially save money by minimizing the fines that previously resulted from missed compliance deadlines."

About CT Corporation

CT Corporation is the highest quality provider of corporate compliance and productivity solutions. Its offerings enable corporations and law firms to manage statutory representation for all their entities, complete corporate and secured transactions, and maintain compliance as required by state and federal law. For more information, visit the CTProComply Web site or follow @CTCorporation on Twitter.

AT&T Hosts Industry Analyst Conference at Its Global Network Operations Center, Announces new Strategic Services and Solutions

'Companies of All Sizes are Transforming Their Businesses,' with IP Networks, Cloud and Mobility Services, says AT&T Business Solutions President and CEO

DALLAS, May 18 -- Companies of all sizes are accelerating their use of IP networks, cloud and mobility services to help them rethink and transform the way they govern and conduct their business, Ron Spears, AT&T Business Solutions (ABS) President and CEO said today.

Addressing more than 70 global industry analysts during a two-day conference hosted at AT&T's* world-renowned Network Operations Center in Bedminster, N.J., Spears said that over the past 12 months, AT&T has installed hundreds of managed Telepresence rooms for companies globally, migrated two-thirds of its large business customers to IP-based networks, doubled its unified communications business, and increased its sales of network-based firewalls by 46 percent.

The company also announced on Monday it is creating a new business within ABS to accelerate the delivery of advanced mobile enterprise applications and solutions to businesses and organizations of all sizes, both nationally and globally.

AT&T Business Solutions is managing nearly 4 million more mobile subscribers compared to a year ago. Today, more than half of AT&T's corporate mobile subscribers are using integrated devices, and 1 out of every 2 new AT&T business subscribers activate on a smartphone.

Integrated device sales, in turn, are fueling the expansion of mobile applications used by companies across an array of industries in the retail, finance, healthcare, hospitality and manufacturing sectors. Moreover the number of enterprises deploying AT&T mobile applications has more than doubled to over 2,500 companies in various sectors.

"In spite of a pressured economy - or in some instances, because of it - companies large and small are transforming their businesses by adopting network-based and mobility services and solutions that are dramatically increasing their efficiency and productivity," said Spears.

At the same time, "companies are rapidly deploying devices, services and solutions to seize the revenue opportunity made possible by their end-users' desire to do business and conduct transactions anytime, anywhere, to any device," Spears added. As a result, "businesses everywhere are dramatically rethinking and re-engineering their business models. We're seeing this in virtually every industry that we serve."

These and other customer trends contributed to the nearly 15 percent YOY increase in business-related strategic services revenues reported by AT&T in the first quarter of 2010. Strategic services include AT&T's most advanced solutions -- Ethernet, VPNs, hosting, IP conferencing and applications services. VPN revenues alone in the first quarter increased more than 16 percent. Earlier this year, AT&T said that it plans to invest approximately $1 billion in 2010 to help scale the delivery of applications, mobility and cloud services for global companies, to expand small business services within the United States and to continue extending its network globally.

  Delivering on this plan, at today's conference AT&T said that it is:
  --  Expanding its AT&T Telepresence Solution global footprint to a total
      of 75 countries, which represents a doubling of the number of
      countries served. More than 100 companies and organizations worldwide
      now have access to the AT&T Business Exchange and can connect to one
      another via more than 1,100 Telepresence endpoints worldwide.
      Additionally, AT&T Telepresence Solution customer Marriott
      International Inc. today announced that its GoThere Virtual Meetings
      public telepresence rooms are available at the New York Marriott East
      Side Hotel, the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel, the JW Marriott San
      Francisco Union Square, Renaissance Washington, DC Downtown Hotel, and
      the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Marriott.
  --  Extending its A-List feature to enterprise mobility customers of all
      sizes, which provides corporate mobility users unlimited mobile
      calling to and from up to 10 "VIP" domestic phone numbers from any
      U.S. carrier.
  --  Helping qualified global enterprise customers simplify their mobile
      environment with custom mobile management services. AT&T Global Mobile
      Management Services will support a customer's mobile service
      management needs through multi-carrier management, standardized
      operations and consolidated reporting.
  --  Launching a new network-based security solution - AT&T Secure E-mail
      Gateway Service - that provides e-mail security and message management
      by ensuring the integrity of a message before it enters an
      organization's network, and helping to monitor and act on all outbound
      email containing content that violates data loss prevention policies.

  AT&T also highlighted two significant customer wins announced today.
  --  A three-year, $90 million deal with Shell to provide an
      enterprise-wide unified communications service (UC) to support Shell's
      150,000 users in more than 90 countries.  The solution is the largest
      UC technology deployment to date by AT&T for a single business
      customer. The UC services are part of the overall estimated $1.6
      billion multiyear strategic sourcing agreement signed in 2008, when
      Shell selected AT&T to manage a significant part of its IT
      infrastructure and telecoms services.
  --  Blizzard Entertainment has awarded AT&T a multimillion dollar deal to
      serve as a hosting provider for the company in North America and to
      supply hosting and content distribution services, as well as voice and
      data services for its global call centers.

In addition, executives from two customer companies - Coca Cola Enterprises and Interceptor - are on hand today to highlight solutions developed with AT&T:

  --  Interceptor CEO John Ruocco talked about the application developed by
      his company to help reduce drunk driving. The company recently
      introduced the Interceptor - M1, a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock
      Device (BAIID) that measures Breath Alcohol Concentration (BAC) in
      drivers and uses AT&T's wireless network for real-time transfer of
      recorded data, including user photos and current GPS location, to
      local authorities.
  --  AT&T provided Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) with components for a mobile
      merchandising platform. Arming 11,000 U.S. merchandisers with
      smartphones, this new wireless solution directs CCE merchandisers to
      the right stores to merchandise the right product. The real time
      connection enables instant information exchange for the merchandisers
      with CCE's back office systems. CCE also deployed nine Telepresence
      sites around the world to enrich Executive Communications. These sites
      proved especially useful when the Iceland volcano eruption shut down
      air travel last month, allowing CCE to continue preparations for its
      Board of Directors meeting via Telepresence.

Over the next two days, AT&T will be offering industry analysts multiple presentations that provide a detailed view of the mobility services and applications, global networking, cloud computing and managed services and service bundles that the company today offers to its more than 3 million business customers. In addition, AT&T Labs technologists will share insights into how AT&T is driving the next wave of innovation in business services.

RSA Offers Advanced Solutions to Help Combat Man-in-the-Browser Attacks

EMC's Security Division Provides Organizations with Layered Online Defense Technologies Engineered to Authenticate Users, Monitor Transactions, Shut Down Attacks, and Mitigate Impact of Malware Attacks

BEDFORD, Mass., May 18 -- RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE:EMC) today announced RSA® Man-in-the-Browser Solutions, a portfolio of anti-fraud services designed to give businesses and their customers defense against one of the most sophisticated means of theft of online information, identities and financial assets. With these additional layers of defense from RSA, organizations can better fight against the sharp rise in Man-in-the-Browser (MITB) attacks that lead to Trojan and malware infection within enterprises and personal computing environments.

Leveraging the technologies and services of the RSA® Identity Protection and Verification Suite, the RSA Man-in-the-Browser solution includes newly enhanced transaction monitoring as well as risk-based authentication; Trojan detection and attack shut down; and intelligence to identify malware-infected enterprise environments.

"Today cybercriminals are able to leverage online banking sessions in real time, concurrent with the victim," said Robert Vamosi, Security, Risk & Fraud Analyst for Javelin Strategy & Research. "No stand-alone authentication or other security tool is enough to defend against the more sophisticated Man-in-the-Browser attacks."

"Online criminals are continually evolving their tools and tactics to work around defenses established by even the most security-conscious organizations," said Christopher Young, Senior Vice President of Products, Technologies and Markets, at RSA. "In particular, Man-in-the-Browser attacks have presented a significant online threat that defies geographic boundaries and discriminates against no one person or entity. Organizations need to approach this problem with a multi-layered defense strategy reinforcing security measures at login that in isolation can be thwarted. This includes the ability to detect, monitor, shut down and cull intelligence based on transactions, malware and online attacks."

MITB attacks are designed by fraudsters to infect a web browser with malware that can result in modified web pages and transactions that are largely transparent to both the user and the host application. Trojans such as Silent Banker, Sinowal and Zeus are pre-programmed by fraudsters to activate when the user's browser accesses a specific website such as their online banking portal. The activated Trojan can then track the online session and perform real-time interception and manipulation of information that can lead to illegal money transfers, identity theft, or the compromise of valuable enterprise information.

A Layered Defense Against Malware

The RSA Man-in-the-Browser Solutions are engineered to offer organizations the ability to utilize multiple components and techniques to create a layered defense against malware. As designed, these defense layers include:

  RSA® Transaction Monitoring
  --  Transaction-level fraud monitoring and protection for participating
      financial institutions
  --  Invisible analysis of user behavior
  --  Can be layered non-disruptively onto existing authentication methods
  --  Out-of-band phone authentication
  --  New features that include advanced detection of Trojans and HTML
      injections as well as analysis of mule accounts and user
      vulnerabilities

  RSA® Adaptive Authentication
  --  Risk-based authentication based on identification and analysis of
      potentially risky behavior by online users
  --  Out-of-band phone authentication option to verify user identities in
      cases of possible Trojan infection
  --  Software-as-a-service (SaaS) and on-premise deployments

  RSA FraudAction(TM) Solution
  --  Detection, monitoring, blocking and shut down of phishing and Trojan
      attacks
  --  Powered by the RSA® Anti-Fraud Command Center and team of fraud
      analysts
  --  Managed service minimizes internal resource investment and deploys
      quickly

  RSA® CyberCrime Intelligence Service
  --  Helps identify corporate resources, user devices and data compromised
      by malware
  --  Provides access to real-time fraud data via the RSA eFraudNetworkSM
      collaborative community of financial services and other organizations

  Availability

RSA Man-in-the-Browser Solutions are currently available worldwide. For more information, visit http://www.rsa.com/MITB or contact RSA sales at +1-800-495-1095.

About the RSA Identity Protection and Verification Suite

The RSA® Identity Protection and Verification Suite offers one of the most complete and innovative portfolios of strong authentication and anti-fraud technologies available, and is engineered to protect organizations and their online users against the latest external threats. The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and managed services portfolio is designed to help increase activity in online and remote transactions, inspire user confidence, and reduce fraud losses and related costs.

New 'ZBuilder Ultra' Rapid Prototype Machine Delivers Functional Plastic Models at Affordable Price

Z Corporation Device Builds Accurate, High-Resolution Prototypes

ANAHEIM, Calif., May 18 -- Z Corporation today introduced a rapid prototyping machine that builds high-end functional prototypes at one-third of the price of machines with comparable performance. The ZBuilder(TM) Ultra will be available in July.

  (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100518/NE06292 )

  (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040630/ZCORPLOGO )

Despite costing a fraction of the price of a stereolithography machine, the ZBuilder Ultra builds durable plastic parts that rival injection molding's accuracy, material properties, detail and surface finish. It enables engineers to verify designs for form, fit and function prior to full-scale production, eliminating costly modifications to production tooling and shortening time to market.

How It Works

The ZBuilder Ultra builds 3D parts additively using a high-resolution Digital Light Processor (DLP) projector to solidify a liquid photopolymer.

  Key Benefits
  --  Duplicate digital CAD models precisely
      --  Accurate: part features within +/- 0.008 inches* (+/- 0.2 mm*)
      --  Precision optics and motion systems for repeatability
      --  Innovative process with movement only in the Z-direction
  --  Build true functional plastic parts
      --  Material properties rival final parts
          --  Strong and flexible
          --  Consistent regardless of orientation
      --  Razor-thin walls and sharp detail
          --  Minimum feature size: 0.005 inches 138 microns
          --  X/Y resolution from highest-resolution DLP engine
          --  Precise control of light source delivers sharp edges
      --  Ultra-smooth surface finish
          --  Parts appear injection-molded
          --  Precise control of each voxel (3D pixel)
          --  No "stair stepping"
  --  Save time
      --  2X faster than other RP systems
      --  Verify designs the next day
      --  Speed independent of the number of parts in the build
  --  Build size: 10.2 x 6.3 x 7.5 inches (260 x 160 x 190 mm)

*Typical (may vary by geometry, part orientation, build parameters, and process)

Where ZBuilder Fits In Product Line

Z Corporation devices now uniquely span the entire product development process from concept and detail design through building, testing and design verification. Along with its inkjet 3D printers and portable 3D laser scanners, Z Corporation devices compress the design cycle, improve communication, foster collaboration and reduce costly errors. With a worldwide network of distribution partners, Z Corporation also provides integrated sales, service and support in all of these development phases.

"ZBuilder is the ideal addition to our product line, enabling customers to streamline the entire product development cycle," said Z Corporation CEO John Kawola. "For concept and mid-stage modeling when you need speed, low cost, and visual appeal, our ZPrinters are the fastest and only color 3D printers on the market. And when the material properties of a part are important for final design verification, the affordable ZBuilder delivers parts that rival injection molding. Bottom line, engineers now have a single source for the best design technologies."

Pricing, Availability

The ZBuilder Ultra will be available in July through Z Corporation's worldwide reseller network. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price in the USA is $34,900 USD, ex works (Options, shipping, local taxes and duties not included. International pricing will vary, please consult your local Z Corporation reseller.).

National Instruments Announces the Availability of More Than 100 C Series Modules for Customized Applications

AUSTIN, Texas, May 18, 2010 -- National Instruments (NASDAQ:NATI) today announced the availability of more than 100 C Series plug-in modules from National Instruments and third-party companies. With more than 50 modules from NI, 50 third-party modules and a multitude of chassis available, there are numerous configuration options to address a wide variety of measurement and embedded control needs. Engineers and scientists can insert NI C Series modules into any of the C Series family of chassis including NI CompactDAQ, NI CompactRIO and the NI R Series expansion chassis to create a variety of mixed measurement systems. Additionally, they can use the third-party modules in any of the field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based chassis, including all NI CompactRIO and R Series expansion chassis.

"Reaching 100 C Series modules is a big milestone and a powerful testament to the popularity and flexibility of the C Series platform," said John Hanks, vice president of industrial and embedded product lines at National Instruments. "With the NI and third-party modules, customers are building sophisticated systems in record time compared to traditional methods."

NI CompactRIO features the NI reconfigurable I/O (RIO) architecture, which is composed of a real-time processor, an FPGA and integrated I/O connectivity. Using this standard architecture, engineers and scientists can rapidly design and prototype advanced control and embedded devices on hardware such as CompactRIO and quickly deploy their systems on the lower-cost CompactRIO integrated systems or NI Single-Board RIO hardware to reduce development costs. In addition to CompactRIO, engineers and scientists can use NI and third-party C Series modules with the NI 9144 EtherCAT slave chassis for high-performance deterministic distributed I/O over EtherCAT. Integrators and third-party resellers also can design their own custom C Series modules for CompactRIO and add-on boards for NI Single-Board RIO with the NI cRIO-9951 Module Development Kit (MDK).

NI CompactDAQ USB chassis provides the plug-and-play simplicity of USB to sensor and electrical measurements on the benchtop, in the field and on the production line. By combining more than 50 NI C Series modules with NI signal streaming technology, the NI CompactDAQ platform delivers high-speed data and ease of use in a flexible, mixed-measurement system. The NI CompactDAQ chassis connects to any device or computer running a full Windows OS and can hold up to eight NI C Series modules.

Engineers and scientists can use all C Series modules with NI LabVIEW software, a graphical programming environment that uses intuitive graphical icons and wires that resemble a flowchart to develop sophisticated measurement, test and control systems. NI LabVIEW offers integration with thousands of hardware devices, provides hundreds of built-in libraries for advanced analysis and data visualization and is scalable across multiple targets and OSs.

For more information on the various C Series modules, readers can view the white paper, "A C Series Platform for Every Application - 100 Modules and Counting" on NI Developer Zone or visit the C Series online resource kit at ni.com.

AT&T Introduces New U-verse(R) Quad-Play Bundle Offer

Consumers Can Benefit From Hundreds of Dollars in Savings For One Year By Bundling A Fourth Service With AT&T U-verse 'Choice' Bundles

DALLAS, May 18 -- For consumers wanting to find a better bundle, AT&T* continues to add more flexibility and more savings to its AT&T U-verse offers. Following the popularity of the "Choice" bundles launched in March, AT&T today introduced new "Choice" bundle options that give consumers even more savings for one year for bundling a complete quad-play of AT&T U-verse TV, U-verse High Speed Internet, U-verse Voice and wireless services -- a bundle option not available from most cable providers.

AT&T U-verse Choice bundles let customers choose three services for their bundle -- and select home phone or wireless as their voice option -- with DVR service and premium features included, a one-year price guarantee and significant monthly savings. The new Choice quad-play bundles are the first to give U-verse consumers additional savings for choosing all four AT&T services.

"With more than three-fourths of our U-verse customers taking a triple or quad-play bundle, we know this is an option consumers want and can't get from cable," said Joey Schultz, vice president of consumer marketing, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "We're giving customers even more reasons to bundle with AT&T. This is an incredible deal that not only gives you savings and one monthly bill, but a full lineup of services that work together to bring you a new level of integrated features, convenience and control."

In addition to a monthly savings of $30-$45 with a U-verse Choice triple-play bundle for one year, customers who bundle a fourth AT&T service receive an extra $15 in monthly savings, for up to $60 in savings each month for one year.

The AT&T U-verse Choice Plus bundle starts at $172 a month for U-verse TV U300 with Total Home DVR capability; U-verse High Speed Internet Elite (up to 6 Mbps downstream); AT&T Nation 450 wireless voice with unlimited messaging; and unlimited nationwide home phone calling with U-verse Voice Unlimited -- providing a savings of $540 for one year.

Choice Premium includes U-verse TV U450 with Total Home DVR capability and HD service U-verse High Speed Internet Max (up to 12 Mbps downstream); AT&T Nation 450 wireless voice with unlimited messaging; and unlimited nationwide home phone calling for $192 a month and savings of $720 for one year.

Customers who bundle their services with AT&T receive several advanced, integrated features and benefits. AT&T wireless customers have access to the nation's fastest 3G network, the ability to talk and surf at the same time on its 3G network, the most popular smartphones, and Rollover®, which lets customers keep the minutes they don't use.

AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet packages and qualifying AT&T smartphone plans also include access to the nation's largest Wi-Fi network at more than 20,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots.

And AT&T wireless, TV, Internet, and home phone services work together so you can program your U-verse DVR from your PC or wireless phone; track your personalized college basketball bracket or fantasy football league that you create online on your U-verse TV screen; check your wireless and U-verse Voice messages from a single voice mailbox; or see your U-verse Voice recent call history and click to return a call from your U-verse TV.

AT&T U-verse TV is the only 100 percent Internet Protocol-based television (IPTV) service offered by a national service provider, making AT&T U-verse one of the most dynamic and feature-rich services available today. AT&T U-verse TV ranked "Highest in Residential Television Service Satisfaction in the South and West Regions Two Years in a Row," according to the J.D.

KEMET Corporation Announces Completion of Tender Offer for its 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2026

GREENVILLE, S.C., May 18 -- KEMET Corporation (KEME.OB) today announced completion of KEMET's tender offer for its 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (CUSIP Nos. 488360 AA6 and 488360 AB4) (the "Notes"), which expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time on May 17, 2010 (the "Expiration Date").

On May 18, 2010, KEMET accepted for purchase $40,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Expiration Date, pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, dated April 20, 2010 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase"), and the related Letter of Transmittal (as amended from time to time, the "Letter of Transmittal").

Based on final information provided to KEMET by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information agent and depositary for the tender offer, $57,480,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, representing approximately 71 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes prior to the expiration of the tender offer, were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Expiration Date. Because the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered exceeded the maximum tender amount ($40,500,000 in aggregate principal amount) that KEMET was obligated to accept under the terms of the tender offer, the amount of Notes that the Company accepted from tendering holders was subject to proration.  As a result, $40,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes were accepted for purchase in the tender offer at a purchase price of $935 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes purchased in the tender offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of payment for the Notes.

The aggregate consideration (including accrued and unpaid interest) for the accepted Notes, equal to $37,875,093.81, will be deposited with The Depository Trust Company on May 18, 2010 for delivery to the tendering holders.

BofA Merrill Lynch served as the dealer manager for the tender offer. D.F. King & Co., Inc. served as the information agent and depositary for the tender offer.

Immerz Wins 2010 Popular Science Magazine Invention Award for KOR-fx Acousto-Haptic Technology

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 18 -- Immerz, Inc. announced today that its KOR-fx(TM) technology has been honored with the prestigious 2010 Popular Science Magazine Invention Award. A new form of acousto-haptic technology, KOR-fx will revolutionize the way consumers experience multi-media when it is released later this year in a device by the same name. KOR-fx is featured in the June issue of Popular Science, which celebrates the spirit of invention by bringing attention to projects which have the capacity to change lives and the world.

Developed by Shahriar S. Afshar, an internationally-recognized physicist turned entrepreneur, KOR-fx uses the human anatomy itself to create a powerful sense of immersion to enhance video game play, movie watching and music listening. By delivering nearly imperceptible vibrations to select areas of the chest, KOR-fx activates neural pathways that subconsciously monitor vibrations of the chest cavity that naturally occur when speaking, laughing or crying.

"We are ecstatic that the editorial team of Popular Science chose to recognize KOR-fx as a best invention," said Afshar, President and CEO, Immerz, Inc. "This award is a significant milestone for Immerz and, combined with our newly introduced Cinema-Immerz program for movie theaters, is another important pre-cursor to the upcoming release of KOR-fx to consumers."

In addition to the Popular Science Invention Award, Immerz was hand-picked as one of the most innovative new consumer technologies being introduced in 2010 by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) at their annual i-Stage awards.

The KOR-fx product is platform-independent and works with any device that has an audio output. KOR-fx will launch in August 2010.  Consumers can secure their unit now, by pre-ordering the product at http://immerz.com/order. Immerz will be showcasing its technology at E3 2010 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, June 15-17 (Booth # 3248), as well as at the CEA LineShows in New York, June 22-23 (Table #16).

ShoutOUT Texting App for Android Adds Voice Addressing and Text-to-Speech Feature for Converting Incoming Messages Into Spoken Words

MENLO PARK, Calif., May 18 -- ShoutOUT, the first hands-free texting app for Android phones, now lets users address contacts by voice and listen to incoming texts instead of reading them on a phone's screen.

ShoutOUT is Promptu Systems Corporation's free speech-recognition application for composing text messages by speaking instead of typing. Starting today, the new version is available in the Android Market(TM) and featured on the V Cast Apps Channel for Verizon Droid phones.

"ShoutOUT is the most accurate speech recognition app for text messaging on Android phones," said Giuseppe Staffaroni, Promptu's CEO. "We're thrilled Verizon has selected ShoutOUT to be one of their featured applications."

ShoutOUT for Android 2.0.1 and higher, designed for the new Droid Incredible by HTC, Google's Nexus One, and Droid by Motorola, is fully integrated with the Android SMS client. The new release includes a notification window that pops up any time a new text message arrives. This notification window not only lets users see, or play and listen to the content of the message, but also enables them to reply by voice with just a click of a button.

In addition, the new version of ShoutOUT includes a playback of the transcription to confirm that it understood what the user said. This, combined with Promptu's Smartword(TM) editing tool that lets users see and select from likely word alternatives, plus the ability to address contacts by voice, makes ShoutOUT a breakthrough hands-free application.

Like all Promptu applications, ShoutOUT is built on state-of-the-art speech recognition technology. To maximize accuracy for ShoutOUT, a personalized acoustic model is assigned for every user during the app's registration process.

ShoutOUT's speech recognition is server-based, and 100-percent automated. All message transcriptions that appear on users' phones are created with no human intervention whatsoever, so privacy is guaranteed.

ShoutOUT standard features include message exchanges threaded by recipient, thumbnail images for contacts, and one-touch navigation to all recent incoming and outgoing messages.

By using voice as the interface, ShoutOut is the most intuitive and natural alternative to the awkward process of entering text on a mobile phone.

About Promptu

Promptu Systems Corporation is at the tipping point of a mobile revolution fueled by Voice User Interface (VUI) applications--the most intuitive and natural way to interact with a phone. Created for consumers, carriers, and handset providers, Promptu applications run on the company's fully automated Network Speech Recognition (NSR(TM)) platform to ensure accuracy, speed, privacy, and scalability. Promptu applications can be optimized for regional accents, and support real-time review and editing of transcribed text. Every day thousands of Promptu applications are downloaded worldwide.

Series Offers Music Enthusiasts Unparalleled Audio, Style and Reinforced Durability

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., May 18 -- V-MODA, the music lifestyle brand and manufacturer of award-winning headphones, today announced Remix Audio, the latest fashion-forward in-ear headphone featuring unrivaled audio performance. Created by V-MODA's meticulous acoustics and engineering team, Remix Audio is a completely redesigned version of the company's original in-ear headphones, created to enhance the listening experience and dynamics of today's music.

Designed for ultimate durability, unparalleled audio clarity and absolute affordability, Remix Audio is a testament to V-MODA's passionate dedication to the development of sound and precise construction for even the most discerning listener. From the remastered driver to the redesigned soft silicone fittings developed to enhance ergonomic and audio performance, consumers will enjoy a unique and distinct listening experience with the perfect balance of punchy bass and high-definition audio clarity. The all-metal construction, Kevlar®-reinforced cables and commitment to quality is backed by a two-year premier warranty and V-MODA's Replay Replacement Program -- a 50 percent off lifetime headphone replacement guarantee.

"You wear and listen to your headphones every day -- they should be as unique as your music and your style. We've spent years researching and fine-tuning our headphones alongside world-renowned musicians and DJs, and Remix Audio delivers pure sound, rock solid durability, ergonomics, and value," said Val Kolton, V-MODA CEO and founder, independent DJ and producer. "In our modern lifestyle we listen to our music on headphones more than at home, in the car or at clubs. It is my goal to recreate the sound and sensations of an epic sound system anywhere and anytime, fused with the fashionable design V-MODA is known for."

  The V-MODA Remix Audio features:

  UNPARALLELED SOUND

A newly tuned 9mm V-MASQUE neodymium dynamic driver creates the absolute in clarity and the perfect balance in sound, while the BEAT-PORT air flow system delivers a high-definition soundstage, invoking the sense of a live music experience. V-MODA's revered BLISS (Bass Level Isolating Soft Silicone) noise-isolating technology further reduces outside noise and enables deep punchy bass for the ultimate audio experience.

ERGONOMIC STYLE AND DESIGN

Featuring a minimalist and ergonomic design, the Remix Audio features a solid yet lightweight all-metal construction, making a powerful statement. Its durable features are developed for fashion-conscious, on-the-go lifestyles. The earbuds feature newly designed medical-grade soft silicone fittings with a new shape offering a more comfortable and secure fit while also further enhancing V-MODA's signature soundscape with improved clarity. The detachable sport earhooks feature patent-pending Active Flex technology, allowing the headphones to adjust independently to each ear regardless of the earhook's position.

ROCK SOLID DURABILITY

After years of diligent engineering, Remix Audio is stronger than many headphones sold within the same price range. Each component was dissected and analyzed to create a high-quality headphone that could withstand the extended use by V-MODA's dedicated listeners. Special attention was given to a custom cable construction comprised of a strong Kevlar core to relieve tension and a uniquely braided copper material that is specially designed to flex during use. The durable, PVC-free and tactically pleasing cable is designed to reduce microphonics. The gold-plated plug and stainless steel core feature a 45-degree extended strain relief to withstand stress.

PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

Starting today, the Remix Audio will be available at Amazon.com and V-MODA.com for a retail price of $79.99. The Remix Audio is available in three colors: Rouge, Blush and Gunmetal. To see more information and videos on how V-MODA is dedicated to quality and durability, visit v-moda.com/quality.

Epic Media Group Shows Early Marketplace Successes from Integration

LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK, May 18 -- Epic Advertising and Connexus Corporation today announced the completion of their merger, and the formation of Epic Media Group as the parent company. Epic Media Group will be headquartered in both Los Angeles, CA and New York, NY, with additional offices in Toronto, the San Francisco Bay Area, London, Chicago and Dallas.

The company's top-10 ranked network, Traffic Marketplace, remains as the brand leader and cornerstone of the company.

Other brands included in Epic Media Group's suite of offerings include Online Intelligence, the company's brand protection and integrity assurance arm, as well as Winning the Web, the company's monthly business publication.

Art Shaw, CEO of Epic Media Group, said "The early stages of our merger have gone very well. Epic has been a strong brand for years now, and we are excited to retain it as our corporate brand. Traffic Marketplace has grown into a top brand in the digital marketing ecosystem. We are excited about several early wins for clients, especially in social media, and look to build upon it in the months to come."

By combining both technology platforms, the company is deploying a tightly integrated ad platform for its clients, creating the most efficient means to access target audiences across all forms of digital distribution channels including search, display, social media, video and mobile. Specifically, the company is actively working with clients in formulating social media engagement campaigns with elements of branded display and performance-based solutions, showcasing the true power of the new company.

ScriptRx and DigitalPersona Team Up to Secure Emergency Room and Urgent Care Electronic Medical Records

Leading Interactive Healthcare Systems Provider Adds U.are.U Fingerprint Readers by DigitalPersona for 'Touch and Go' Authentication

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. and WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., May 18 -- DigitalPersona, Inc., a global provider of authentication and endpoint protection solutions and ScriptRx, a leading provider of touchscreen Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Discharge Systems for Emergency Rooms and Urgent Care Centers, today announced the integration of U.are.U® fingerprint biometrics from DigitalPersona into the ScriptRx System. Designed for these busy clinical facilities, the biometric kiosk solutions provide physicians with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface to simplify common tasks. The resulting system allows for secure charting of medical records, accurate issuance of discharge instructions, authenticated prescription writing, an archived medication reconciliation record and more.

"As a major medical facility serving South Florida, we need to be able to accurately and quickly provide service," said Dr. Abid Chaudhry, medical director at Kendall Regional Medical Center, a six-time winner of the Thomson Reuters 100 Top Hospitals® National Benchmark award. "Our ScriptRx kiosks with U.are.U fingerprint readers from DigitalPersona streamline important functions for our doctors and nurses while adding secure one-touch access to applications and information."

The ScriptRx System gives IT administrators the flexibility to deliver the application via a variety of hardware platforms or use ScriptRx's hosted option. The solution was designed with the particular needs of touchscreen applications in mind: simplicity, clarity and speed. Its Internet-based technology provides multiple modes and permissions for users, data-sharing configurability and both quality and operational reporting, encompassing all clinical encounters. Seamless kiosk data replication allows doctors to access the same information from multiple locations, regardless of where the system resides.

"Kiosk systems with biometric authentication provide fast, secure access to critical medical information," said Dr. Tim Coffield, president and CEO of ScriptRx. "This is often needed in walk-in ambulatory settings, such as emergency rooms and urgent care facilities, that require accurate and timely response to chaotic medical situations. With the ScriptRx system, doctors can quickly and securely update EMRs, prescribe medications and efficiently discharge patients."

DigitalPersona's U.are.U fingerprint authentication solutions offer a combination of security, convenience and ease-of-use. By integrating U.are.U fingerprint readers from DigitalPersona into the ScriptRx solution, doctors no longer need to remember multiple passwords across many different applications. This allows for faster, more accurate patient care. The combined solution also provides a greater level of control in implementing policies that allow only authorized personnel access to patient records in compliance with the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

"In urgent care where every second counts, fast response times are critical," said Jim Fulton, vice president of marketing, DigitalPersona, Inc. "Fingerprint biometrics simplify user authentication for patient record retrieval, giving doctors more time to focus on their patients' health."
