First Ever 'Multimodal Showcase' Debuts Next Generation of Mass Notifications

e2Campus showcases all the communication endpoints that can be controlled from one central interface during an emergency

SAN ANTONIO, April 19 -- From Booth #803 at ACUTA 2010, Omnilert®, LLC today announced the debut of "The Multimodal Showcase," an online shopping experience where visitors can browse the latest mass communication technology that integrates with the e2Campus unified emergency notification system.

Accessible from http://www.e2Campus.org, customers can learn details about qualified third-party technology such as desktop alert software, digital signage systems, scrolling LED displays, indoor and outdoor loudspeakers, fire alarms, alert beacons, blue light emergency phones, VoIP phone systems, social media, and more.

Third-party technology must pass a thorough testing program before being "certified" to integrate with e2Campus. "Certified Endpoint Providers" or CEPs include technology from ActiveAccess, Alertus Technologies, BRG Precision Products, Exhibio, Facebook, Inova Solutions, MagicBox, Twitter, Visix, Whelen, and others. Many other third party technology providers are qualified to successfully integrate with e2Campus, but cannot be mentioned here without violating trademarks. CEPs provide additional feedback and reporting within the e2Campus interface.

"e2Campus is the epicenter of notifications systems," says Nick Gustavsson, Chief Technology Officer at Omnilert. "Every day, new communication technologies emerge and it is critical for schools to be able to send emergency information to all of these technologies - from one centralized interface. This keeps the message uniform and delivers information in the way that notifies the entire community reliably. The Multimodal Showcase is a significant milestone in ensuring e2Campus customers have the necessary tools to keep their communities safe."

A modern campus can alert students via text, voice, signage, web, public address, and countless other means, and e2Campus allows schools to do this simultaneously. By integrating the schools' existing technology infrastructure with e2Campus, bureaucratic and human bottlenecks to broadcast an urgent message are eliminated, enabling fast, accurate delivery of messages via multiple, integrated communication channels. The issuer of e2Campus alerts has complete control over which endpoints receive e2Campus alerts on a case-by-case basis, which ensures that relevant alerts get to the right people in the community.

About e2Campus

Used by more than 750 schools around the country, e2Campus is the first and most trusted unified emergency notification system in education. It is an award-winning, CAP compliant, Tier-1 notification system that enables non-technical staff to send custom or predefined messages instantly to the campus community for improved crisis communications. There is no traditional software to install, no hardware to buy and no additional phone lines needed. Through one unified interface, e2Campus instantly and simultaneously sends multimodal alerts to a subscriber's mobile phone (via SMS text message), landline phone (via voice message), computer desktop (pop-up), and e-mail accounts, plus school infrastructure such as PA systems, digital signage, alert beacons, Facebook Pages, Twitter Accounts, relevant school Web pages, and other endpoints the school may have in place.

NEW YORK, April 19, 2010--

    - IntraLinks' Latest Offerings are Available Following the Recent
Unveiling of a new Integration Technology and Multi-lingual Platform

    IntraLinks, the leading provider of critical information exchange
solutions, today announced an enhanced version of its business process
collaboration platform, which will be immediately available to its customers.
IntraLinks' customers in industries ranging from life sciences, legal and
energy to alternative investments and investment banking already reap the
benefits of being able to securely manage content and collaborate both inside
and outside the firewall and will now also enjoy new capabilities that
further accelerate crucial business processes and workflow capabilities. The
new enhancements are being brought to market following IntraLinks' recent
release of new integration technologies - the IntraLinks API, IntraLinks
Integration Adaptor and IntraLinks Connectors - and a multi-lingual platform.

    "Companies that are working on highly confidential projects, such as a
merger, acquisition or clinical trial, gain a significant competitive
advantage from utilizing SaaS platforms that enable efficient and secure
communication and collaboration," says Melissa Webster, IDC's Program Vice
President, Content and Digital Media Technologies. "By moving processes
online, users can capture critical information and the associated knowledge
inherent in the workflow that is crucial for reaching appropriate decisions
and operating more quickly. A platform that can enable and capture the
collaboration and perspective both within and among companies provides
knowledge that becomes a powerful source of new and fresh ideas for all
organizations involved in the process."

    The IntraLinks platform already provides highly cost-effective and unique
capabilities that enable organizations to access, control and collaborate on
critical, highly sensitive information, while maintaining the underlying
business structure needed to make accountable decisions and meet legal and
regulatory requirements. Highlights of the improved platform include:

    - Expands IntraLinks' content management capabilities to manage, control,
modify, and publish content. This provides a base level of control needed to
satisfy many regulatory and data governance requirements and greatly
increases the ability to capture information about content and to use it for
driving business processes.

   
    - Extends IntraLinks' capabilities to support more flexible, event driven
      workflow processes, providing organizations with the ability to create
      secure, online processes that reflect and accelerate real world
      business needs.
   
    - Improves IntraLinks' collaborative capabilities with the ability to

      information and management of end-to-end business processes.
   
    - Provides better reporting, yielding deeper and improved insight into
      the status and progress of critical business processes, helping to
      identify and circumvent bottlenecks in the collaborative effort.
       
    - Improves the user experience and provides more self service
      administrative capabilities enabling users to be more productive and
      efficient in their working environment.

    "The new IntraLinks platform is our most important release to date
because it comes at a time when the global economic downturn has accelerated
demand for tools that deliver powerful enterprise-class solutions both inside
and outside company walls," says Andrew Damico, president and CEO of
IntraLinks. "As businesses embrace collaborative platform technologies and
solutions, mutual access to critical content, secure exchange of information
and organization of documents is fundamental for extending the value chain to
customers, suppliers and partners. Our core enhancements in all capability
areas are crucial for true business process collaboration."

    IntraLinks will provide demos of its enhanced platform at the AIIM Expo

Insiders.hk Launches a New Web Based Tool to Reveal the Importance of Analyzing Insiders' Trades Before Buying Stocks

HONG KONG, April 19 -- Insiders.hk is proud to announce the launch of a new web based system Insiderslab.com which provides insider trade tracking services for the U.S. stock market.  It is academically proven that insiders have a higher investment return on stocks than ordinary retail investors. Insiders are considered to be CEOs, CFOs, Directors, and other C- Level officers from well known publicly traded blue chip companies or penny stocks companies.  Insiders.hk is a software company focused on tracking and monitoring insider trading activities in various stock markets around the world.  Learn more about insiderslab.com here: http://www.insiderslab.com/

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100419/HKM001LOGO )

There are thousands of insider filings in the stock market every day. Insiderslab.com's primary objective is to turn this massive data into usable information that investors can use to do better research for their investments.  Many academic researchers suggested that open market stock trades made by company insiders with direct holdings are the most significant insider trading signals.  Insiderslab.com web based research tools help investors track insider's transactions with the above characteristics.  Our system is very easy to use, users only need to enter the stock symbol, for example, Google Inc. into the website; our system will then return all stock transactions made by insiders from Google Inc.

All reports calculated by our system are based on factual information submitted by company's insiders to EDGAR.  In the above example, our latest insider filings report showed that Google Inc. have made total sales of over $290 million in the past three months.  No open market purchases by Google's insiders have been recorded in the past three months.  Among the $290 million, Brin Sergey (President - Technology, Director) has sold over $136 million worth of shares.  Brin Sergey acquired 83,334 shares through the exercise of derivative security on Feb 2, 2010 and subsequently sold all 83,334 shares in the following 3 weeks.  By just looking at the daily disclosure of trades made by Google Inc., insiders may not attract your attention, but if you have a software that can track and add up all the stock trades made by important hands-on insiders in a particular time horizon, the resulting information can add value to your research when choosing stocks.  Please go to http://www.insiderslab.com/ to view the full insider trading report for Google Inc.:

Full report link: http://www.insiderslab.com/demo/reports/overview.php?stockCode=GOOG

Also, one of the most valuable features in Insiderslab.com is that we provide investors the ability to track real time insider trading activities for the stocks in their portfolio holdings.  User simply enter stock symbols for examples: Microsoft Corporation and Apple Inc. into the watch list, our system will then send an email alert to the users within one hour to alert them of any insider trades reported by the companies' insiders.  Full report links:

Apple Inc.: http://www.insiderslab.com/demo/reports/overview.php?stockCode=AAPL

Advant-e Corporation Announces Oracle Certification for On-Demand PeopleSoft EDI Solution

Suite of services provides seamless integration with PeopleSoft and increased supplier participation

DAYTON, Ohio, April 19 -- Advant-e Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: ADVC), through its wholly owned operating subsidiaries Edict Systems, Inc. and Merkur Group, Inc. announced today that Oracle Corporation has certified the on-demand Electronic Data Interchange solution jointly developed by Merkur and Edict.

Through its Integration Validation Program, Oracle certifies select applications in order to provide its customers with standards-based product integrations tested and validated by Oracle. Oracle and PeopleSoft customers benefit from improved risk management and smoother upgrade capability, leading to lower cost of ownership and greater overall satisfaction.

Merkur Group provides the most widely installed PeopleSoft-integrated fax and e-mail solution which allows customers to seamlessly send and receive documents from within PeopleSoft.  Edict Systems is a recognized leader of Internet-based EDI solutions, enabling companies to connect, integrate, manage, validate, and expand supply chain trading communities.

Merkur's PeopleSoft connector provides secure delivery of PeopleSoft Purchase Order data to Edict's EnterpriseEC® service for translation into EDI data and delivery via AS2, Secure FTP, or via traditional Value Added Networks.  The connector also provides visibility of delivered transactions within PeopleSoft and insertion of received transactions, such as Purchase Order Acknowledgements and Invoices, into PeopleSoft via the PeopleSoft Integration Broker.

In addition to providing hosted data translation and delivery of EDI documents via EnterpriseEC®, Edict's solutions also include:

  --  Supplier Onboarding - Hub & Spoke ramping services which include
      Testing & Certification services for EDI-capable suppliers combined
      with Edict's industry leading web-based solution for small and
      medium-size suppliers providing optimal supplier participation.

  --  Real-time Data Validation - ValidateEC is a hosted business rule
      engine that assures data integrity by providing remote document
      exception handling based on user-defined business rules.  Only data
      that has been validated is passed to PeopleSoft for integration.

These services and solutions improve business practices by reducing paper-based transactions and the number of errors associated with manual document processing and by dramatically increasing the number of suppliers who can conduct business electronically.  It also allows companies to focus on their core business and high priority IT projects by reducing the internal resources needed to successfully maximize the value of a fully connected and integrated supply chain.

"Having a certified solution for PeopleSoft Enterprise is a good step to increasing our presence in on-demand EDI solutions for large ERP implementations," stated Advant-e's President and CEO, Jason Wadzinski.  "We continue to work on additional ERP implementations and will attain certification where appropriate to assure our customers that our solutions have been rigorously tested by their ERP providers."

"We are working on several other integrations that leverage both Edict's and Merkur's experience and capabilities," continued Mr. Wadzinski.  "By providing on-demand services to large companies as an alternative to costly software-based solutions, we aim to gain additional traction in the industries we currently serve as well as increase activity in new industries that we are targeting."

ABBYY's Mobile Software Development Kit (MSDK) and FlexiCapture Engine Rev Up Next Generation Mobile Applications

Technology Powers New Apple(R) iPhone(R) Applications for Insurance, Financial, Tax Preparation and Business Productivity

MILPITAS, Calif., April 19 -- ABBYY®, a leading provider of document recognition, data capture and linguistic software, today announced that its Mobile Software Development Kit (MSDK) and FlexiCapture Engine SDK, are extending business applications into the mobile space.  Providing both online and offline mobile development solutions, ABBYY gives application developers a complete line of tools to transform the Smartphone into a more useful device for both employees and customers.  The ABBYY technologies have streamlined business processes for companies in many industries by providing the backbone for several next generation, cutting edge mobile applications on the Apple® iPhone®. In addition, its Mobile OCR (Optical Character Recognition) has enabled applications with Business Card information extraction and multilingual text extraction designed for mobile device camera images.

Applications that use ABBYY Technology on the back end in combination with applications on the phone are revolutionizing the concept of using mobile devices to capture data from images. In the future companies will offer services capturing information from text in photos of ID cards or other documents to perform a variety of applications on the back end without the user needing to manually type information.  This allows for quick conversion of images into data using ABBYY's powerful text recognition and retrieval technology.  An example of this already in action comes from a leading tax filing preparation Software Company, which has developed an application to transfer data from an individual's tax documents directly onto a tax form via their iPhone.

ABBYY's MSDK and FlexiCapture Engine SDK solutions enable additional mobile application possibilities for developers.  One such extension is using OCR technology to enable language translation with mobile devices such as Smartphones.  These solutions enable business travelers to take a photo of a document or sign written in a foreign language with their iPhone, and have it immediately translated. Travelers can get instant translation on a multitude of helpful data, such as parking restrictions, local directions and menu items, making this an application perfect for business travelers who travel internationally.

"FlexiCapture combined with ABBYY's powerful MSDK gives companies the tools to develop unique vertical applications by relying on the company's proven data and document capture technologies," said Dean Tang, CEO at ABBYY USA. "This allows businesses to leverage new applications for the iPhone and other emerging mobile devices. ABBYY is committed to expanding our mobile product offerings in order to give developers the continued ability to create these innovative applications."

ABBYY also continues to make its FineReader line of optical character recognition (OCR) technologies available in the mobile market. A number of leading Business Card Reader (BCR) applications for the iPhone rely on ABBYY technology to easily and immediately transfer key contact data from a business card into a user's iPhone address book. ABBYY's extensive language support allows for input of multilingual business cards.

ABBYY's FlexiCapture Engine is the first comprehensive data capture SDK to combine technologies and tools for intelligent document classification and form processing.  FlexiCapture Engine facilitates tight integration of complex data capture functionalities for processing semi-structured and unstructured documents such as invoices, bills, tax statements, contracts and more. By adding powerful front end data capture from the mobile device, developers can add value to their applications, while simultaneously reducing development costs.

ABBYY's MSDK is a specialized toolkit for empowering mobile, and other compact applications with text recognition and conversion capabilities.  Optimized to deliver a highly accurate conversion of image files into text while maintaining a small footprint, the MSDK allows developers to create applications that overly tax the devices memory or system resources.  The MSDK supports operating systems such as iPhone, Android, Linux, Symbian, Windows and Windows Mobile.

About ABBYY

ABBYY is a leading provider of document recognition, data capture and linguistic software. Its products include the ABBYY FineReader line of optical character recognition (OCR) applications, ABBYY FlexiCapture line of data capture solutions, ABBYY Lingvo dictionary software, and development tools.

Trimble PCS900 Paving Control System Automates Adjustment of the Paver Screed and Promotes a Smoother Asphalt Mat

Trimble AutoAdjust Feature Helps Contractors Achieve Accuracy and Smoothness Specifications

MUNICH, April 19 -- Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) today introduced a new version of its 3D Trimble® PCS900 Paving Control System with automated screed adjustment. Unlike other 3D paving control systems, the system now monitors the height of the trailing edge of the screed and automatically corrects for errors to achieve higher accuracy and smoothness of the asphalt mat. This innovative Trimble functionality sets a new industry standard for paving control.

The announcement was made today at Bauma 2010, the world's largest construction equipment exposition.

AutoAdjust Improves System Accuracy

PCS900 version 1.1 includes the new Trimble AutoAdjust feature, which automates the adjustment of the screed to accurately stay on grade at the trailing edge. This unique functionality immediately adjusts the screed when the need is detected by the system, rather than the operator manually adjusting the screed when the grade checker notes a discrepancy.

Asphalt mat is checked by grade checkers approximately every 10 meters (30 feet) when using traditional paving methods or other paving control systems. The new AutoAdjust feature constantly monitors the trailing edge of the screed and automatically makes fine adjustments to the design height. The mat can be checked less often, improving the productivity of the machine and allowing grade checkers to perform other tasks on the job site.

The Trimble AutoAdjust feature helps produce a smoother asphalt mat, as the automatic screed adjustment ensures a more consistent and timely reaction to errors. As a result, contractors can achieve accuracy and smoothness specifications, which in many cases can translate to bonus income and the avoidance of rework.

About the Trimble PCS900 Paving Control System

Trimble PCS900 is a 3D extension to the 2D Trimble PCS400 Paving Control System. The paving contractor can easily switch from grade and slope (2D) mode to 3D mode, depending on the requirements of each individual project. The PCS400 and PCS900 combination provides the customer the choice between sonic sensors, slope sensor, sonic averaging beam, 3D slope and 3D elevation control on each side of the screed.

Heavy and highway contractors can also leverage key Trimble grade control hardware on asphalt pavers -- allowing both new and existing users to realize a higher and more rapid return on their investment in Trimble technology. With expansion of the 3D machine control mix to include pavers, contractors can now use their SPS Series Universal Total Station and move their Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System display, radio and sensors between dozers, graders, excavators, soil compactors, milling machines, trimmers, and asphalt pavers.

The Trimble PCS900 Paving Control System can be mounted on a variety of new or used asphalt paving machines, regardless of manufacturer. The 3D-based PCS900 system can be flexibly configured with a combination of sonic tracers, slope sensors, averaging beam and contact sensors. Trimble's system components are designed rugged and durable for the tough asphalt paving conditions. All components have an IP67 rating to protect against dust and water.

The Trimble PCS900 is now available through Trimble's worldwide Heavy and Highway Construction Distribution Channel.

Jibbigo Announces English to Chinese Speech Translation App on iPhone

Software runs on iPhone with no dependency on Google servers

PITTSBURGH, April 19 -- Jibbigo, the world's first and leading speech-to-speech translation app, will release its English/Chinese version for the iPhone 3GS and 2nd generation iTouch on April 19.

Jibbigo, because it relies on software that resides completely on the device, enables transparent communication across cultures by voice without the need for data links to a large network server.  Threats such as the potential shutdown of Google over censorship claims in China illustrate the flaws in dependence on a large network server for all communication.  Jibbigo is bi-directional, and accepts English or Chinese speech and speaks out a translation in the other.

"Jibbigo runs on your iPhone without the need for a network server.  You can converse with your Chinese partners without the worry, cost or dependency on data links or large network servers," said Dr. Alex Waibel, founder of Jibbigo.

Jibbigo is a product of Mobile Technologies, a start-up founded by Dr. Waibel, a Carnegie Mellon University professor. The English/Japanese version of Jibbigo quickly became the number-one grossing app in Japan and the most downloaded travel application at the iTunes Japan store when it launched in January. Jibbigo is also available in an English/Spanish version and the company is working on additional languages.

"One of our main goals in creating Jibbigo is to make it possible for people to communicate transparently, without barriers," said Dr. Waibel. "With this release of Jibbigo, English and Chinese speakers will be able to converse, in real time, in their own languages, simply by using an app. No Internet connection will be required." Jibbigo also offers a dictionary, features for correction, and new name entry.

At the heart of Jibbigo is bi-directional, natural speech-to-speech translation software that lets speakers of two languages converse in their own spoken languages. Jibbigo is not a dictionary or a phrase book, but a speech translator: One person speaks a sentence naturally in English or Chinese into Jibbigo, and Jibbigo speaks the sentence aloud in the other language, much like a personal human interpreter would.  Jibbigo also shows the recognition and translation as text on the app screen.  Chinese text is shown in Chinese and/or Roman characters. This allows Western users to play back the Chinese speech but also see how the Chinese characters are pronounced.

About Jibbigo

Jibbigo is a product of Mobile Technologies, a start-up founded by Carnegie Mellon University professor Dr. Alex Waibel. The mission of Jibbigo and Mobile Technologies is to eliminate language and translation barriers around the world that limit transparency in communication.  The company maintains a strong research partnership with the International Center for Advanced Communication Technologies, at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and Silicon Valley and at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany.  Jibbigo is currently available at the Apple iTunes store for the iPhone 3GS and late generation iTouch in English/Spanish, English/Japanese and English/Chinese.

Tektronix Communications Announces a Comprehensive Roaming and Interconnect Assurance Product for Mobile and Fixed Operators

Roaming and International Traffic Growth Drives New GSMA GRQ-Compliant QoS Product Offering

RICHARDSON, Texas, April 19 -- Tektronix Communications, a leading worldwide provider of Network Intelligence and communications test solutions, today unveiled the evolution of their Roaming and Interconnect Assurance product designed to improve roaming and interconnect performance monitoring for operators. The new enhancements provide real-time traffic visibility, actionable analysis and historical reporting for roaming and interconnect voice, SMS, data and mobility traffic, while compliant with the GSM Association's (GSMA) Global Roaming Quality (GRQ) standard. Addressing the needs of both roaming and interconnect service providers, Tektronix Communications' advances in monitoring will assist operators in reducing the total cost of ownership with improved functionality and efficiency.

Operators face many challenges due to today's increase in mobile and fixed roaming and interconnect traffic while trying to keep a cost-effective, high level quality of service. Issues such as service delivery cost, turning premium traffic into a profit, lost revenue streams and roaming partner selection can impact an operator's bottom line.

Building upon the company's roaming and interconnect portfolio and leadership in the market, Tektronix Communications' advanced Roaming and Interconnect Assurance product delivers key capabilities to improve profitability:

  --  Delivers compliancy with the GRQ key performance indicators (KPIs) of
      SMS, voice and data according to the GSMA
  --  Provide individual performance intelligence and reporting by operator
      to facilitate the selection of new roaming and interconnect partners
      based on quality and roaming subscriber behavior
  --  The ability to proactively monitor and analyze the performance of
      selected partners for specific KPIs related to the quality of service
      delivery
  --  The tools required to proactively identify revenue leakage and
      minimize the overall costs associated with specific roaming and
      interconnect services

"Roamers are high value customers who are willing to pay an extra premium for roaming services, and therefore are extremely profitable for mobile operators," said Mark Driedger, vice president and general manager, Tektronix Communications' Network Management business. "Our new product offering will significantly help operators increase revenues and maintain the quality of the roaming and interconnect services they offer."

As the world is becoming more globally connected, there is an increasing demand for roaming monitoring solutions that address the growth of international roaming traffic in terms of subscribers and traffic volume, the complexity of operator service portfolios and protocol technology, and compliance to regulatory requirements. Operators who can demonstrate superior network and service quality will have more bargaining power relative to other major operators around the world, and in turn, can realize greater profitability.

Tektronix Communications' Roaming and Interconnect Assurance product meets the needs of operators today and provides a solid comprehensive solution for their challenges:

  --  Lowers the cost of service delivery by assisting operators in
      controlling interconnection costs without sacrificing quality
  --  Ensures the profitability of premium traffic by allowing operators to
      take an active role in protecting interconnect service revenues
  --  Selects roaming partners with confidence by providing mobile operators
      with a means to reduce churn and improve the profitability of outbound
      roaming traffic
  --  Identify and recover lost revenue streams by offering mobile network
      operators the toolset they need to protect incoming roaming revenues

Ivar Jacobson International Announces New Version of EssWork

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, April 19, 2010--

    - EssWork 3.0 Drives Adoption of Large Scale Agile Software Development

    Ivar Jacobson International today is releasing a new version of EssWork
which provides a "smart" framework for developing, browsing and executing
software development practices. New features in EssWork 3.0 enhance and
simplify an organization's ability to roll-out large-scale agile software
development by giving software teams process guidelines that efficiently
ensure software project success.

    "Software development is seeing radical changes as new processes and
methodologies, principally of the Agile variety, are being adopted, as well
as improved automation that is bringing progress in tooling," said Michael
Azoff, principal research analyst with Ovum Research. "Overall, Ovum is
impressed with the EssWork and Essential Practices solution, which makes IJI
stand out from the many other consultancies supporting software development.
Organizations looking to transition their processes and methodologies, or
address specific pain points in their way of working will benefit from IJI's
approach."

    EssWork 3.0 can easily capture successful ways of working between
projects and document good patterns so positive behaviour is replicated. "The
aim is to reduce development costs and deliver projects predictably and with
better quality," said Azoff.

    With EssWork 3.0, new role-based entry points provide more personalized
support. Now users can view and gain quick access to relevant information
based on their responsibilities. Enhanced views and navigability facilitate
easier access to the precise information a user requires at any point in
time. Architecure improvements aid in large scale deployment for
organizations that standardize on EssWork and the Essential Practices. To
further support distribution, EssWork can now be internationalized and
practice guidance can be developed for any language. EssWork 3.0 comes
pre-loaded with IJI's simplified Essential Practices, EssUP and the IJI
software development kernel.

    EssWork trial version is available online for 90 days for non-commercial
use. Continued use of the full EssWork 3.0 software requires a support
agreement priced at $200 per user.

Award-Winning Jenn-Air(R) Wall Oven Embraces Technology for Unequalled Cooking Performance

Interactive Culinary Center, No Preheat Function and Unmatched Levels of Convection Power Give Cooks the Upper Hand

CHICAGO, April 18 -- Jenn-Air, the brand that introduced the first self-ventilated cooktop and downdraft ventilated range in the 1960's, has developed a unique wall oven offering the industry's most powerful convection system, together with  an exclusive touch screen that incorporates an image-enabled cooking guide.   The oven's 7-inch, glass-touch screen is the largest of its kind and features a touch-anywhere, full color LCD display

  (Photo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100418/DE86751 )

  (Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090501/DE06604LOGO-b )

Available now, the innovative wall oven, part of a complete new collection of luxury appliances from Jenn-Air, has already garnered a number of the industry's most prestigious awards and accolades.  These include the Kitchen & Bath Business 2009 Innovation of the Year; the Consumer Electronics Association's Innovations 2010 Design and Engineering Award in the home appliance category; Professional Builder's 100 Best New Products of 2009; Popular Mechanics' 12 Must-Have Products, and House Beautiful's The BEST! For the Kitchen.

By using a sophisticated system of thermal sensors, computer processors and chef-tested cooking programs, an interactive, image-driven Culinary Center helps cooks achieve desired cooking results.  This patent-pending Culinary Center provides guidance for more than 50 different food options and considers a range of details such as the food category, food type, desired doneness and even the type of pan used. Color images illustrating desired doneness levels combined with exclusive visuals showing how and where to insert the temperature probe for a variety of dishes offer cooks further assurance that their dishes will be cooked to their specifications.

"The level of detail is such that if the cook selects medium rare for a prime rib, the Jenn-Air Culinary Center provides the option of removing the roast at 130º F so it can stand and rise to the proper target temperature of 135º F for medium rare," notes lead engineer Steve Swayne.

The ovens feature the industry's only V2(TM) Vertical Dual-Fan Convection System.  Two convection elements rated at a total of 6,800 watts have fans that rotate in opposite directions to provide the responsive power that allows for an exclusive No Preheat function.  The No Preheat modes allow cooks to bake on one rack without any preheating, and without extending the recipe bake time.

"We've created the industry's most powerful convection system and combined it with the latest technology so that cooks can confidently harness that power and achieve precise results," said Swayne.  "The Culinary Center, developed with input from food scientists, professional chefs and home economists, gives cooks an edge that can make the difference between good results and extraordinary ones."

Other features found on the oven's LCD display include the industry's first slider technology under glass.  When setting the oven's temperature, there are no numbers to enter.  Instead the user simply touches the screen and slides the bar to the desired temperature.

Users also can select screen themes that will appear whenever the oven is not in use.  A gallery offers a choice of two accent colors and 24 distinct themes from seasonal to floral that appear with either an analog or digital clock.  A light touch anywhere on the display activates a Home screen featuring an intuitive, gourmet-friendly layout.   The Home screen displays the two most used modes (bake and broil) along with two additional modes that the individual cook uses most frequently.  Additionally, the gourmet guides (Culinary Center and Auto Convection Conversion) along with the Probe key appear on the Home screen, ensuring that settings and gourmet tips are readily available.   A My Creations function allow cooks to name and number settings to program method, time and temperature on successful recipes allowing them to be recalled when the recipe is repeated.

An Auto Convection Conversion translates conventional cooking times to convection times.  For Convect Bake and Convect Pastry, the oven accepts conventional recipe times and temperatures, then automatically reduces the temperature by 25 degrees F.  With Convect Roast, the oven automatically alerts the cook at 75 percent of the regular cooking time so the food may be checked using a meat thermometer.  If the food is left in the oven until the set time expires, the oven automatically goes into Keep Warm mode for an hour.

All Jenn-Air wall ovens with Convection Systems have six convection modes for precise control, with each setting providing the ideal temperatures and airflow for specific food types.  Convect Bake combines all elements with a low fan speed for multiple-rack baking. Convect Roast provides a fast fan speed plus broil and convection elements to eliminate the cold barrier surrounding food to sear and roast meats and poultry. Convect Broil uses a fast fan speed plus the broil element for even heat distribution for broiling large amounts of food. Convect Pastry utilizes all elements plus a pulsing low-to high speed fan help create exceptionally flaky crusts. Convect Slow Roast cycles all elements on and off for roasting at 4, 8 or 12 hours. Convect Frozen Pizza uses all elements plus the fan to quickly thaw and bake a frozen pizza.  An additional True Convect V2(TM) Convection mode taps only the convection elements and fans.

Available in 27- and 30-inch models, the new Jenn-Air wall oven collection includes single, double and microwave/wall oven combinations with or without convection.   An exclusive common cutout provides easy installation into virtually any existing wall oven cutout.  Style choices for the new ovens include the commercial look of Pro-Style® stainless steel and the sleek, refined Euro-Style options available in Oiled Bronze, black and white Floating Glass and stainless steel.

Since the introduction of the first self-ventilated cooktop in 1961 and downdraft ventilated range in 1965, Jenn-Air brand has consistently grown its reputation as a technology and design innovator.  Its selection of style options includes two distinct stainless steel collections and two cutting edge finishes: Floating Glass and Oiled Bronze.  From downdraft cooktops, wall ovens and professional-style ranges to dishwashers, refrigerators and such entertaining essentials as warming drawers, built-in ice machines and wine cellars, Jenn-Air brand offers a complete line of major kitchen appliances.  To learn more about the Jenn-Air® appliance collection, please visit JennAir.com.

CHICAGO, April 17 -- With its new electric and gas downdraft cooktops, KitchenAid is offering those who love to cook even more versatile options to choose from in the brand's cooktop collection.  The latest downdraft models, available in a 30-inch gas option as well as 30- and 36-inch electric models, will begin shipping to retailers this spring.

"Our new downdraft cooktops give consumers another choice in the cooktop category that enables them to create a kitchen that suits their personal cooking styles and design needs," says Debbie O'Connor, senior manager of brand experience for KitchenAid.  "We believe time in the kitchen should be enjoyable and these cooktops provide flexible placement options that can help create a welcoming, comfortable space."

By eliminating the need for a hood, downdraft cooktops can be placed in kitchen islands or peninsulas. These flexible placement options allow for an open kitchen design, keeping the cook connected to family and guests.  Open space not taken by a large hood can be utilized for extra storage, decoration or lighting above the cooktop.  A powerful ventilation system draws smoke, steam and odors directly from the cooktop, then down and out of the kitchen through ductwork, eliminating the need to raise a screen or use other ventilation lending a cleaner, more modern look to the cooking space

The 30-inch gas downdraft cooktop features four sealed burners with a variety of heat output and a two-speed 325 CFM fan.  A 15K BTU professional burner accommodates cooking techniques that require extreme heat, while a 5K BTU burner can be reduced to 900 BTUs to cook food gently at low temperatures. Additional burners include 10.5K and 9.2K BTU output while infinite-heat controls that allow for many settings from high to low, insure precision for cooking a variety of dishes.

Electric models feature a stylish pure black ceramic black surface with a hot surface indicator and durable stainless steel knobs.  Both the 30- and 36-inch cooktops feature two 9"/6" double-ring round elements for accommodating differently sized cookware.  Additional elements on the 30-inch model include 8-inch and 6-inch sizes.  The 36-inch model has an additional 12"/9" double-ring round element for added versatility, along with a 6-inch element and a 7-inch warm zone element for keeping cooked foods warm before serving. A three-speed 400 CFM fan provides the ventilation power to handle various cooking techniques from pan searing to stir-frying.

Electric models are available in a pure black or pure black with a stainless steel trim.  Suggested retail prices on the 30-inch electric models range from $1249 - $1349, with 36-inch models ranging from $1399 to $1499.  Suggested retail prices on the gas downdraft model options, available in stainless steel and black, will range from $1349 to $1449.

Since the introduction of its legendary stand mixer in 1919 and first dishwasher in 1949, KitchenAid has built on the legacy of these icons to create a complete line of products designed for cooks.  Over 90 years later, the KitchenAid brand now offers virtually every essential for the well-equipped kitchen with a collection that includes everything from countertop appliances to cookware, ranges to refrigerators, and whisks to wine cellars.  To learn why chefs choose KitchenAid for their homes more than any other brand* visit http://www.KitchenAid.com.

*Based on a September 2010 survey, KitchenAid was found to be the home kitchen appliance brand chosen most often by members of the International Association of Culinary Professionals and the American Culinary Federation when asked about refrigerators, ovens, cooktops, ranges, dishwashers, microwave ovens, electric mixers, blenders, food processors, kitchen gadgets and toasters.

Ubiquity Broadcasting Corporation Announces 'WEAV' - The Next Generation of Audio and Video Compression

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif., April 16 -- Ubiquity Broadcasting Corporation is currently in beta testing of its 15th iteration for the next generation of audio and video compression. After 10 years of researching, patenting, and developing the next generation of compression, Ubiquity is going to change the way the world sees and hears mobile content.

Ubiquity relies on a host of engineers headed by the CTO Kristian Sandberg, Ph.D, Sengan Baring-Gould Ph.D, and Alejandro Cantarero Ph.D. Kristian Sandberg is a Ph.D in Applied Mathematics and has used his knowledge in algorithmic development to help create the next generation compression technology. Kristian Sandberg says, "Ubiquity's compression will allow high quality streaming at a lower computational complexity then what is in the current marketplace." Sengan Baring-Gould Ph.D in Artificial Intelligence wrote the book on how to create mobile applications for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch, and the recently released iPad using Cocoa Touch technology.  Sengan says, "The WEAV compression allows the end user the ability to view and hear content on multiple platforms not just on platforms that provide specific hardware." Sengan Brings 20 years of experience in code optimization and the development of artificial intelligence into programs. Alejandro Cantarero rounds off the team with his intimate knowledge of applied mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering, and 3-D technology.

Dr. Jeff Cole, who was just recently added to Ubiquity's Board of Directors said, "I became convinced in the mid- to late-90s that interactive digital technology - first the web and now mobile - was going to be far more powerful than the traditional media of television and print." Ubiquity's compression is a software program designed to deliver both faster and increased picture and audio quality to both the internet and mobile devices.

Mobile carriers to the likes of AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint PCS, will benefit from Ubiquity's next generation compression. Ubiquity's compression will save millions in bandwidth costs to mobile carriers, and will provide the end user with a higher quality experience. The end user benefits from Ubiquity's compression by experiencing longer battery-lives on their digital devices while keeping their digital devices cooler. Ubiquity's compression delivers higher visual quality, a quicker response time, and stall-free playback while compressing audio and video simultaneously at 1000:1.

Ubiquity's compression uses an algorithm that produces better quality video and audio than MPEG-4 (H264) with a lower computational complexity. Ubiquity's next generation compression adds the ability to restore, rescale, zoom, and focus, in addition to improving the compression quality further.

Ubiquity's Chairman and CEO, Christopher Carmichael said, "After 10 years of development, the WEAV project is going to be ground breaking for the mobile industry."
