Clear Align to Present Innovative Technologies at SPIE Defense, Security, and Sensing Conference

PHILADELPHIA, March 25 -- Michael G. Bush and Dean P. Kossives of Clear Align, an electro-optic systems company focused on custom imaging, fiber optic and laser sensors for military and aerospace applications, will present papers documenting two novel technologies during the SPIE Defense, Security, and Sensing Conference   in Orlando, Florida, April 5-9, 2010.

"Inventors Bush and Kossives have done cutting-edge research and development in the quest to find creative and cost-effective solutions to protect our soldiers in the most adverse conditions," said Angelique X. Irvin, President and CEO of Clear Align.  "Lock-In Imager(TM) and Miniature Soldier Sensor Platform (M-SSP)(TM) are the results of their efforts; both technologies are too early in development for concrete adaptation to current threats, however the solutions they present show great promise for future adaptation to threat detection."

As part of the Imaging and Sensing track at the SPIE Conference, Michael G. Bush will present proof of concept data on a novel low-cost multipurpose imaging architecture that enables high-resolution lock-in imaging. His presentation details the development of Clear Align's Lock-In Imager(TM), an ultra-high-sensitivity, high-resolution camera platform that is ideal for search and rescue, identification of friend or foe, and covert surveillance. One of the greatest benefits of this technology is that it functions by leveraging the capabilities of standard commercial off the shelf components, providing a lower cost, previously-qualified solution. Bush will present during the Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) Systems and Applications VII on Wednesday, April 7, 2010 from 8:20 AM - 8:40 AM during Conference 7668 in the World Center Marriot Crystal Ballroom L.

As part of the Emerging Technologies track of the conference, Dean P. Kossives will present a newly-patented, novel approach for chemical detection called Miniature Solider Sensor Platform(TM) (M-SSP). His presentation will detail the M-SSP(TM) concept, including the identification of improvised explosive device precursors. The technology, although very early in development with high developmental risks, promises a miniaturized device (wristwatch-sized) that delivers real-time, short-range, tactical analysis of chemical threats to soldiers and civilians.  Dean Kossives will present during the Photonic Microdevices/Microstructures for Sensing II on Thursday, April 8, 2010 during Conference 7682 from 2:50 PM - 3:10 PM in the World Center Marriot Crystal Ballroom K.

NIVS Announces Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2009 Results

Company reports Fiscal year 2009 net income of $23.5 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, on sales of $185.2 million, versus $13.0 million net income, or

$0.41 per diluted share, in 2008 on sales of $143.6 million

HUIZHOU, China, March 25 -- NIVS IntelliMedia Technology Group, Inc. ("NIVS" or the "Company") (NYSE:NIV), a consumer electronics company that designs, manufactures and sells intelligent audio and visual products, announced today that net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2009, were $62.7 million compared to $42.6 million in the comparable prior year period, an increase of 47.2%. The increase in sales during the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to the fourth quarter of 2008 was attributed primarily to an increased demand for the Company's intelligent audio and video products as a result of the economic recovery that began in China, and market expansion efforts. Net sales for the full year ended December 31, 2009 were $185.2 million, an increase of $41.6 million, or 29.0% compared to $143.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in revenue was also attributed primarily to the increased demand for and sales of the Company's intelligent audio and video products, which the Company believes was the result of its market expansion efforts.

Income from operations during the fourth quarter 2009 was $12.5 million, an increase of $8.6 million or 220.5% compared to $3.9 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in income from operations was attributable in part to the reversal of $2.7 million of bad debt charges in the fourth quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported income from operations of $28.5 million, an increase of $10.0 million, or 54.1% from $18.5 million in the comparable prior year period.

Mr. Tianfu Li, NIVS' Chairman and CEO, said, "I am delighted at our strong 2009 fourth quarter and full year performance and completing our first year of trading on the NYSE Amex. We acquired our U.S. listing during a challenging economic environment and succeeded in expanding our business within the Chinese domestic market as well as in international markets. We believe our 2009 performance provides a solid foundation from which to grow in 2010. Our management team is focused on achieving outstanding operational performance and the continuance of increasing shareholder value."

During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company reported net income of $11.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share compared to $1.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the comparable period of 2008, an increase of $9.1 million.

BIO-key(R) Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2009 Financial Results

WALL, N.J., March 25 -- BIO-key International, Inc.  (BULLETIN BOARD: BKYI) , a leader in biometric identification solutions, today reported selected financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2009. These results reflect the sale of its Law Enforcement Division, which was completed on December 8, 2009.  For clarity and consistency, the data presented in this press release includes the results of the Company's fingerprint-based Biometrics Division for the fourth quarter and the full year, with the Law Enforcement Division presented as discontinued operations.

  (Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050509/BIOKEYLOGO)

  Fourth Quarter Revenue and Income

Revenues from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was $1,014,052, a revenue increase of 93% from that reported in the third quarter of 2009.

Gross margin was 90% for the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to 63% for the third quarter of 2009.

The continuing operations loss in the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was reduced to a net loss of ($188,496) compared to a loss of ($794,172) for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was $4.4 million, including a $4.5 million gain from the sale of the Law Enforcement Division and income of $105,735 from discontinued operations.

Full Year 2009 Revenue and Income

Revenues from operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $2.4 million, a revenue decrease of 30% from the year ended December 31, 2008.  The 2008 results reflected revenues from a large project for the FBI. Excluding that transaction, revenues grew year over year by 71%.

Gross margin was 79% for 2009, compared to 90% for 2008. Adjusting for the large project for the FBI, gross margin improved from approximately 76% in 2008.

The continuing operations loss in 2009 was ($2.5 million) compared to a loss of ($1.7 million) in 2008.

Net income for the full year ended December 31, 2009 was $4.7 million compared to net income of $0.1 million for 2008. The significant increase in year over year net income is attributable to the gain from the sale of the Law Enforcement Division.

2009 Balance Sheet

Profitable combined continuing and discontinued operations and the gain on the sale of the Law Enforcement Division provided the company with sufficient cash flow to retire $7.5 million of its outstanding preferred stock.

The company ended 2009 with substantial liquidity of approximately $800,000 in cash and about $850,000 in receivables. Further, the company's remaining outstanding preferred stock is approximately $1 million less than the notes receivable owed to the company.

For the first time since the early years of the company's inception, the company achieved positive stockholders equity.

Management Discussion

Commenting on the fourth quarter and full year, Mike DePasquale, BIO-key CEO said, "We are thrilled that we were able to complete and profitably close the sale of our Law Enforcement business enabling us to dramatically improve and strengthen our Balance Sheet; and providing us with the resources to focus on our high-margin, high-growth leadership biometrics business."

"I am particularly pleased with the strong revenue results of our fourth quarter biometrics business which nearly doubled in the fourth quarter from the preceding quarter. With 90% gross margins and continued cost discipline, we have calculated a break even profitability model of about $1 million dollars a quarter. This will give us the opportunity to grow profits as our revenue increases."

  2009 Highlights include:

  --  BIO-key selected as part of the Next Generation FBI AFIS System with
      the fusion of BIO-key and MorphoTrak biometric algorithms. This fusion
      was a key component to delivering the speed, accuracy and reliability
      of the solution chosen.
  --  Retained Thomas Bush III, former senior FBI official as a strategic
      advisor  and consultant. Tom brings 30 years of experience with the
      FBI, including large-scale biometrics systems expertise.
  --  Awarded biometric contract with Federal Probation and Pretrial
      Services Office of US Courts as part of the project to deploy
      fingerprint biometric enabled identity management kiosks nationwide.
  --  Granted US patent for 'Trusted Biometric Device'. This security
      solution patent digitally secures private data in transit from capture
      point and protects privacy of users.
  --  Announced with our partner, Healthcare-ID, the integration of our
      biometric software intoHealthcare-ID's Donor-ID Web(TM) application,
      used by blood collection centers nationwide.
  --  Minnesota Counties deployed a new criminal charging system   with
      BIO-key® fingerprint biometrics. This paperless eCharging solution
      saves time and increases efficiency.
  --  Broadening of our software platform support to include Microsoft®
      Windows Terminal Services, Citrix® Clients and Wyse CE terminals.
  --  Selected by SC Magazine as the 2009 Industry Innovator in Biometrics.
  --  January 8th edition of This Week in Consumer Electronics (TWICE)
      profiled AT&T's nationwide deployment of tablet PCs, secured with
      BIO-key fingerprint biometric software to identify in-store customer
      representatives.
  --  Completion of the sale of our Law Enforcement Division to   InterAct
      Public Safety Systems for $11 Million giving the company positive
      equity and liquidity to sustain and invest in biometric technology.

DePasquale concluded, "Throughout our history, dating back to the founding of SAC technology in 1993 and the formation of BIO-key International in 2002 and up to the latter part of this decade, we have never been more optimistic about the future of the biometric industry and, in particular, the opportunity for BIO-key to prosper."

North West Group Uses Isilon IQ to Map New Territory in Aerial Imaging

Aerial Data Acquisition Leader Deploys Isilon Scale-out NAS to Accelerate Image Processing and Photogrammetric Analysis, Doubling Productivity While Reducing Storage Management

SEATTLE, March 25 -- Isilon® Systems (NASDAQ:ISLN) today announced that the North West Group has deployed Isilon scale-out NAS to power its entire aerial mapping and geospatial services workflow. Using the Isilon IQ X-Series, North West Group has unified both its image processing and photogrammetric analysis onto a single, high performance, highly scalable, shared pool of storage, doubling workflow productivity, while reducing storage management to less than one full-time equivalent (FTE). With Isilon IQ, North West Group can now effectively support its aerial mapping missions, which produce more than one Terabyte (TB) of data per day, completing more projects in less time and with greater accuracy to drive new business growth.

"While customer demand for our services continues to increase, so does their appetite for higher-resolution final products delivered in less time," said John Welter, vice president of technology, North West Group. "This scenario is great for business but was simply too much for our previous clustered NAS system to handle. With Isilon IQ, we've doubled the rate at which we can deliver final product, while significantly cutting down on storage management, enabling us to stay ahead of market demand."

North West Group specializes in digital remote sensing, digital aerial photography, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and related services in North America and the international market. As the scope, size and complexity of client projects increased, North West Group's previous clustered NAS System reached a performance ceiling of 350-400 Megabytes per second (MBps), limiting workflow productivity and burdening its IT staff with unnecessary and continual data management challenges. With six aircrafts each flying aerial mapping missions around the world, North West Group needed a high performance storage system that could accelerate its image processing and photogrammetric operations without the need for additional capital or operating expense.

Working with Isilon value-added reseller and integrator PowerByte, North West Group deployed 15 Isilon IQ 12000X nodes, 15 Isilon IQ 12000EX capacity extension nodes and one Isilon IQ Accelerator performance extension node to unify its entire workflow onto a single storage resource with more than 350 TB of capacity and 1.2 Gigabytes per second (GBps) of aggregate throughput. With Isilon scale-out NAS, North West Group can complete more projects in less time and at less cost, driving increased operating leverage across its organization and enabling the company to accommodate previously unattainable levels of new business.

"The time- and data-sensitive nature of leading-edge aerial imaging and geospatial services is simply too much for other vendors' SAN and NAS systems," said Sam Grocott, vice president of marketing, Isilon Systems. "North West Group helped pioneer the geospatial services industry and by using Isilon scale-out NAS to double their productivity, they are now setting a best practice for not only their own industry but any business looking to maximize the performance of large file-based applications."

"At PowerByte, we're committed to providing best-of-breed IT solutions that enable our clients to do more with less and grow their bottom line," said Arnold Woelfe, president, PowerByte Solutions. "Isilon complements our mission perfectly, as its scale-out NAS solutions enable customers to accelerate mission-critical applications, while reducing capital and operating expense. North West Group's success is a great example of exactly these kinds of results."

BALTIMORE, March 25 -- Velaro, Inc., developer of the multi award-winning click-to-chat and click-to-call product, today announced its integration with Zendesk, an online solution that helps companies provide better customer support.   This integration allows SMB and enterprise businesses to leverage powerful customer service tools collectively to more efficiently assist online consumers.

Velaro's intuitive e-commerce solution helps to personalize the online visitor experience by offering real-time engagement points, intelligence rules, conversion tracking, and customer segmentation to manage customer segments based on their shopping behavior.

"We are thrilled with Velaro's live chat integration with Zendesk.  Now we can actively engage visitors to Toktumi.com and send custom invitations to specific customer segments, and all the information we gather can be sent directly from Velaro's live chat window back to our Zendesk help desk account. Because customers of our hosted PBX service are typically small businesses, they are demanding and expect a quality support experience.  Velaro plus Zendesk makes a great impression," said Peter Sisson, Founder and CEO of Toktumi.

Several key components of customer service and support processes benefit from Velaro's click-to-chat for Zendesk with real-time case creation from chat sessions, as well the automation of another significant customer touch point.  For example, Live Chat for Zendesk allows businesses to search for or create Zendesk cases in real-time while being in the Velaro chat session.  Upon completion of the chat, each transcript is automatically attached and archived to the associated Zendesk records.

"This integration with Velaro gives businesses using Zendesk another way to turn customer touch points into customer conversations," said Mikkel Svane, CEO of Zendesk. "At Zendesk we're focused on providing tools that improve interactions with customers and in turn create better customer experiences."

"We're big fans of Zendesk's online customer support solution and this was an obvious win-win situation," said Alex Bloom, President of Velaro.  "Our team did an amazing job integrating click-to-chat with Zendesk's help desk product.  Our deep integration enables businesses to create and retrieve help desk tickets right from the Velaro chat window, letting agents instantly access important customer information."

Smartvue Wins 2010 Mobility Award

Smartvue S9 Mobile Video Surveillance Solution Wins Honor

LAS VEGAS, March 25 -- At CTIA, the International Association for Wireless Telecommunications Industry conference in Las Vegas, Smartvue® (http://www.smartvue.com) today announced that its Smartvue S9 all-in-one wireless network video surveillance solution won the 2010 Mobility Award for Mobile Video Surveillance.

The 2010 Mobility Awards honor the best and finest mobile computing and wireless data communications products and services that were announced during the past year.

.Fox Networks and comScore Reveal Ground-Breaking Findings About the Branding Impact of Online Advertising

Research confirms ability of video and display advertising to drive sustained brand engagement regardless of users clicking on ads or not

LONDON, March 25 -- .Fox Networks (pronounced "dot-fox"), the leading global online network from Fox International Channels (FIC) and comScore, a leader in measuring the digital world, today unveiled the findings of a ground-breaking U.K. study. The study, commissioned by online video specialist .Fox, used comScore's single-source panel methodology to confirm that video and display advertising are effective at driving significant uplift in site visitation and advertiser search queries, even in the face of minimal clicks on ads.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080115/COMSCORELOGO)

The study evaluated results from four campaigns across four industry sectors and produced the following key findings:

  --  Video and display advertising both successfully increased brand
      engagement in each of the four campaigns analysed. The average uplift
      across the campaigns saw site visitation increase by more than a
      factor of seven over a four week period following exposure to an ad,
      with consumers three times more likely to conduct search queries using
      brand or relevant generic terms in the same time period.
  --  When evaluating video and display side by side, consumers exposed to
      video advertising were 28 percent more likely to visit the brand site
      and nearly twice as likely to conduct a trademark search.
  --  Confirming expectations and previous industry understanding, video was
      able to generate a more immediate impact in the first five exposures
      than display ads in terms of increases in site visitation and search
      queries; however, behavioural response for those exposed to display
      climbed steadily as the number of ad impressions increased.

The results, which were released in full at the Advertising Research Foundation's 2010 conference in New York on Wednesday, are also particularly significant given sharp decreases in online advertising click-through-rates over recent years, with the U.K. being the worst affected of leading global markets.

The study underscores the fact that consumer search behaviour is positively impacted by the presence of display or video advertising -- even in the face of minimal clicks.   In each of the four campaigns, search activity increased significantly when consumers were exposed to these online ad formats, suggesting that the last click on a search ad should not be given 100 percent of the credit in attribution studies.

Commenting on the findings, Hernan Lopez, President of .Fox Networks and COO of FIC said, "This study proves that online display and video advertising drives significant results that are either being ignored by click-through-based metrics, or wrongly attributed to search. We make an open invitation to global advertisers to work with us and comScore in a follow-up to the study, measuring the impact on actual sales."

"As the online industry seeks to increase its share of branding advertising budgets, it's more important than ever to prove the value of display and video ad formats", said Gian Fulgoni, chairman of comScore.  "This research and our recent Whither the Click study for Europe are helping marketers understand that the internet is indeed a powerful branding medium and how vital it is to measure campaign effectiveness using the appropriate behavioural metrics rather than just the click."

Anthony Rhind, Global Co-CEO, Havas Digital, one of the agencies that sponsored the study adds, "This .Fox research is valuable because it looks beyond the usual data used by the industry for media trading.  As opposed to relying on the usual simplistic denominators of click-thru & last event attribution, this research centres on consumer behaviour proxies that are better placed to reflect communication goals, defining success based on a mix of visitation, engagement and search behaviour across a four week period.  By addressing difficult planning considerations such as cross format and multiple touchpoint attribution, this .Fox research better reflects the way Havas Digital believes campaigns must be evaluated if the digital media industry is to continue to grow in terms of significance for major advertisers."

The study was compiled examining four campaigns conducted in 2009 across the Travel, Finance, Government and Utilities sectors. These campaigns utilized various combinations of video and display formats and delivered a total of 300 million impressions to U.K. Internet users.

comScore's panel of over 80,000 U.K. consumers was used to passively track behaviour and understand the impact over time of ad exposure on specific activities linked to campaign effectiveness, namely:

  --  Advertiser Site Visitation
  --  Search Term Usage

The studies compared the behaviour of internet users who were exposed to the online campaigns with a control group of comScore panelists who were not exposed. The control group was generated using a sophisticated pair-wise matching process along a number of important demographic and behavioural variables.  The process ensured that control panelists visited websites in the same category where the advertising was delivered but were not exposed to the campaigns. It also paired test panelists with relevant control subjects based on demographics, internet usage, connection speed, and other relevant factors.

The full study was presented by Gian Fulgoni and Hernan Lopez at the annual conference of the Advertising Research Foundation in New York, yesterday, March 24th at 10:30am EDT.

Adaptec MaxIQ SSD Caching Solution With Microsoft Technology Demonstrates Dramatic I/O Acceleration

SSD & Storage Controller Combo Delivers 3.2 Times Performance Increase in an OLTP Workload Simulating a Demanding Brokerage Firm

MILPITAS, Calif., March 25 -- Adaptec, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADPT), a global leader in data center hardware and software storage solutions, today revealed benchmarking results for its MaxIQ(TM) SSD Cache Performance Solution. Integrating an advanced solid state storage control technology developed by Microsoft Corp., the solution is licensed and has been further enhanced by Adaptec.  Using a simulation of a dynamic brokerage application environment, Adaptec consistently demonstrated a 3.2 times increase in system I/O (input/output) performance over the best results of a similar system without SSD caching.  An increase in performance of 3.2 times can translate into a savings in capital and operating costs of up to 70 percent.

"These benchmark tests provide data center managers working with high-traffic transactional workloads with quantifiable evidence that storage controllers utilizing SSD caching in SSD/HDD High-Performance Hybrid Arrays can dramatically increase system performance," said Jon Flower, vice president of Advanced Technology, Adaptec. "Accelerating throughput, particularly during peak transactional periods, along with reducing capital and operating costs, minimizing system footprint, and consuming less energy are critical issues for data center managers today.  Adaptec MaxIQ SSD Caching solutions were designed to address all of these issues."

This application is a database application benchmark which models a brokerage firm with customers who generate transactions related to trades, account inquiries, and market research. The brokerage firm in turn interacts with financial markets to execute orders on behalf of the customers and updates relevant account information. Simulating a 50,000 user environment, Adaptec MaxIQ consistently achieved system I/O performance that was 3.2 times greater than the best results for a hard disk drive-only system without SSD caching.

"When our datacenter team came up with some innovative ideas around using solid state devices as read caching devices, we determined it made good sense to license these advances to Adaptec because Microsoft itself doesn't sell these types of products," said David Kaefer, general manager of Intellectual Property Licensing at Microsoft. "By collaborating through licensing, Adaptec customers benefit from a product that delivers impressive performance and cost savings over alternatives in the market."

Adaptec's MaxIQ SSD Cache Performance Solution creates High-Performance Hybrid Arrays (HPHAs) by pairing tuned 32GB Intel® X25-E Extreme Solid-State Drives, used as high-performance cache, with Adaptec's MaxIQ SSD caching software and standard hard disk drives. The hybrid SSD/HDD solution provides I/O intensive data center and cloud computing customers with maximum I/O performance, up to 70 percent savings in capital and operating costs and cost-effective scalability, all without disrupting existing operations.  More information about Adaptec MaxIQ can be found at http://www.adaptec.com/MaxIQ.

Adaptec, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADPT) provides innovative data center I/O solutions that protect, accelerate, optimize, and condition data in today's most demanding data center environments.

Toshiba Introduces Highest-Capacity 2.5-inch Hard Disk Drives in Two New Product Families

Industry-Leading Areal Density and Up to 1TB Capacities Provide Compact and Low-Power Solutions for Storage-Hungry Applications

IRVINE, Calif., March 24 -- Toshiba America Storage Device Division, the pioneer in small form factor hard disk drives (HDDs), today announced two additions to its 5,400 RPM line of 2.5-inch HDDs featuring industry-leading storage capacities.  In the standard 9.5 millimeter-high, two-platter design, the MK7559GSXP HDD incorporates both the industry's highest areal density and capacity at 750GB(1).

(Photo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100324/SF76523)

Toshiba also introduced a new three-platter 12.5-millimeter-high platform with the MKxx59GSM series, which offers 750GB and 1TB of storage.  These capacity points were predominantly supported by larger form factor 3.5-inch HDDs until the introduction of high-end 2.5-inch solutions, providing low-power, space-saving opportunities to system manufacturers looking to differentiate or update their products.

These two new product offerings expand Toshiba's mobile HDD product line into the highest-capacity segment of the 2.5-inch HDD market and represent the company's first mobile HDD platforms developed with the combined engineering resources from the integration of Fujitsu's HDD business, which Toshiba acquired last fall.

To deliver these next-generation storage capacities, Toshiba has implemented Advanced Sector Format technology in both families.  This technology uses 4K byte-per-sector formatting and improved error-correcting code (ECC) functions, providing maximum data integrity and making efficient use of the storage surface area.  Toshiba is guiding efforts to ease industry transition to the advanced 4K byte-per-sector format, while continuing to provide a full line of mobile HDDs, including models that support the legacy 512 byte-per-sector configuration.

"Toshiba continues to lead in integrating state-of-the-art technologies such as 4K byte-per-sector formatting to drive capacity increases and help system manufacturers succeed in their markets," said Maciek Brzeski, vice president of marketing at Toshiba Storage Device Division. "Since the introduction of our first 4K byte-per-sector offering on a 1.8-inch HDD in 2007, we have leveraged our miniaturization expertise to perfect this technology, balancing storage advancements and reliability with solid performance.  As a result, Toshiba can deliver performance benefits with high capacity drives using the 4K byte-per-sector implementation by working with product manufacturers to maintain compatibility with the host device's operating system and software packages."

High Capacity for Digital Content Proliferation

The MK7559GSXP HDD features an areal density of 541.4G bit/in^2, making it ideal for mobile applications in which capacity is key, including notebook computers and portable storage products.  These HDDs also are well-suited for devices that value high capacity in a smaller footprint with improved acoustic performance and lower power operation compared to larger form factor HDDs.  Those applications include all-in-one desktops, televisions and set top boxes.

At 12.5 millimeters-high, the MKxx59GSM series is geared to external add-on and removable storage, tape replacement and docking station applications, as well as addresses the escalating demand for capacity and portability in gaming notebooks, mobile workstations and other capacity-hungry applications.  The 1TB MK1059GSM model can store up to 285,000 digital photos, 263,000 digital music files or 820 digital movies(2).

The 1TB and 750GB capacity points target the strongest growth segment of the personal storage market.  According to IDC, demand for these two capacity points will increase from 11 percent of the external add-on storage market to 46 percent by 2012(3).

"The HDD industry is extending its established, long-term trend of delivering more storage capacity in smaller form factors, giving system manufacturers new options for creating product designs in smaller, more economical footprints with lower power profiles," said John Rydning, research director at IDC. "Toshiba's new 750GB and 1TB 2.5-inch hard disk drives provide viable, smaller form factor alternatives to 3.5-inch HDDs in certain applications, as well as expand the storage capacity for removable HDDs and 2.5-inch personal storage solutions."

Both the MK7559GSXP and the MKxx59GSM HDDs incorporate Toshiba's "silent seek" technology, which makes every seek operation as quiet as an idling drive.  These products also adhere to Toshiba's environmental initiatives in their use of power efficiency techniques and components that reduce reliance on harmful chemicals, materials and compounds.

Information and Availability

Toshiba's MKxx59GSM series and MK7559GSXP drives are scheduled to ship to PC manufacturers and distributors in the second and third quarters of 2010, respectively.  Design samples of the MKxx59GSM are currently available to system manufacturers, followed by samples of the MK7559GSXP in April.  For more information on Toshiba's line of industry-leading small form factor hard drives, visit http://www.toshibastorage.com.

Mobile Star's Karaoke Vending Machine Used Record 60 Times on Single Day

Potential to Distribute Over 1,000 Karaoke Vending Units in First 12 Months

NEW YORK, March 24, 2010--     Mobile Star Corp. (OTCBB: MBST), a developer of karaoke vending machines,
announced today that its proprietary vending machine was used over 60 times,
nearly to full capacity during it's busiest day ever in New York.

    Following the pilot, the company reached a preliminary distribution
agreement with Apple Industries, one of North America's premier manufacturers
and distributors of coin-operated electronic entertainment.

    Apple Industries plans to distribute the Mobile Star's next-generation
entertainment vending booth, utilizing its well-established marketing
channels. Apple Industries currently operates a vast distribution network,
placing products in shopping centers, amusement parks, theaters, casinos,
restaurants, pubs, and various other tourist attractions.

    Apple Industries' professional team closely monitored the New York pilot,
which confirmed the quality of the vending system and demonstrated greater
return on investment potential than initially anticipated.

    Each vending machine is expected to generate over $30,000 in gross annual
revenues.

    "We plan to begin marketing the machine in the second half of 2010, and
we reasonably expect to distribute over 1,000 units in the first 12 months,"
said Allen Weisberg, President of Apple Industries. "Today there are over
40,000 bars nationwide with jukeboxes. We anticipate placing the Mobile Star
in many of these locations in the coming years, in addition to other
locations such as nationwide theater chains, etc."

    "The Mobile Star fits right into our lineup of machines that are
innovative and fun, and bring owners a satisfying return on investment. With
the growing national interest in karaoke, stemming from song contests like
American Idol, we are confident that the Mobile Star will quickly become a
market winner," Weisberg added.

    "The Mobile Star performed incredibly well during our recent pilot,
producing over 60 recordings on a single-day," said Danny Elbaz, CEO of
Mobile Star Corp. "Such demand for the machine creates even greater return on
investment potential for a vending booth owner than previously anticipated."

    About Apple Industries

    Apple Industries is a premiere manufacturer and distributor of coin
operated electronic entertainment, representing some of the finest vending
manufactures in the World. Apple Industries is a wholly-owned private US
company with 45 years of history, and distribution channels throughout the
U.S. and Canada. Apple's products can be found in shopping centers, amusement
parks, theaters, casinos, tourist attractions, Restaurants and Pubs and more.

    About Mobile Star

    Mobile Star has developed a free-standing entertainment vending machine
that enables an individual to digitally record his or her voice singing to
hundreds of songs. The patented karaoke technology utilizes a proprietary
digital-media software platform, and professional-grade hardware to publish a
high quality CD of the performance.

Matthiessen, President and Chief Executive Officer of inTEST commented, "During the fourth quarter of 2009, we continued to experience the momentum that began to build at the end of the third quarter.  In fact, "momentum" does not adequately describe what is currently happening in the business.  We have been experiencing a strong growth in bookings that began during the third quarter of 2009 and continues today.  We ended the fourth quarter of 2009 with $9.4 million in bookings and $4.6 million in backlog.  As of March 19, 2010, our first quarter 2010 bookings have reached $11.6 million and our backlog is $8.6 million.  When we entered the downturn, our semiconductor related business was the first to decline. This business included practically all of the products manufactured by our Mechanical Products and Electrical Products segments, as well as the semiconductor-related products manufactured by our Thermal Products segment.  Fortunately, at the time, our Thermal Products segment had maintained significant business outside of semiconductor products, which helped us to generate revenues during the downturn.  Our historical experience has been that the semiconductor business usually is the first to decline into downturns and the first to experience recovery at the end of downturns.  This is indeed happening as our semiconductor related products are those displaying strong growth today.  As I said at the end of the third quarter of 2009, the real challenge now is to continue production ramp-up without overspending to achieve this goal.  Our productivity as expressed in output-per-employee has dramatically increased while we are proceeding with discretion in manpower expansion and are continuing to closely monitor expenses."

Robert Fagenson, Chairman of the Board of Document Security Systems, stated: "As we entered 2009, our goals included expanding our sales and product offerings, leveraging our expanded production capacity to attract major end-user customers, continuing to streamline our cost structure and seeking strategic acquisitions.  As we enter 2010, believe we have achieved many of those goals.  Our recent purchase of Premier Packaging in February 2010 offers significant opportunity to expand use of our technology and positions us in the brand packaging protection market.  Furthermore, during the fourth quarter of 2009, we successfully refinanced and converted $3.9 million of short-term debt to equity or longer term debt on more favorable terms significantly improving our balance sheet and working capital position."

Document Security System's CEO Patrick White said, "Despite a difficult economic environment for our business partners and licensee's we still continued to grow and strengthen our business.   Our valuable intellectual property holdings continued to grow and show value which further advanced our position in the anti-counterfeiting market that has resulted in wins with well known customers during the year.   During 2009, we initiated our entrance into the brand packaging market that culminated in the acquisition of Premier Packaging in February 2010, commenced the divestiture of our Legalstore.com division, strengthened our relationship with a key licensee, and achieved sales successes with several large consumer product companies.   Due to these accomplishments along with our lower cost structure the company is well positioned in 2010 and beyond."

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income (loss) interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense as further adjusted to add back stock-based compensation expense and non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is provided to investors to supplement the results of operations reported in accordance with GAAP. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to help investors analyze the operating trends of the business before and after the adoption of ASC 718 and to assess the relative underlying performance of businesses with different capital and tax structures. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing its financial results with other companies in the industry, many of which also use Adjusted EBITDA in their communications to investors. By excluding non-cash charges such as amortization, depreciation and stock-based compensation, as well as non-operating charges for interest and income taxes, investors can evaluate the Company's operations and its ability to generate cash flows from operations and can compare its results on a more consistent basis to the results of other companies in the industry. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate potential acquisitions, establish internal budgets and goals, and evaluate performance of its business units and management.

Document Security Systems considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of the Company's operational strength and performance of its business and a useful measure of the Company's historical and prospective operating trends. However, there are significant limitations to the use of Adjusted EBITDA since it excludes interest income and expense and income taxes, all of which impact the Company's profitability and operating cash flows, as well as depreciation, amortization and stock based compensation. Document Security Systems believes that these limitations are compensated by clearly identifying the difference between the two measures. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA as defined by the Company may not be comparable with similarly named measures provided by other entities.

The Data Decade Means Companies Are Hungry for Qualified New Workers

DAYTON, Ohio, March 24 --   --  A recent survey shows universities around the world lack the
      technology and content to prepare the next-generation work force in
      the science of business intelligence
  --  Their instructors are struggling to teach to the expanding demands for
      data analytics
  --  With the rapid growth of business data, professors need access to
      larger systems and data sets to teach proper analysis of information
  --  Now universities are partnering with Teradata for free access to
      needed data warehouses, databases and data sets

  (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090909/TERADATALOGO )

  News Facts
  --  Survey respondents reported the challenges are: Technology (43%),
      Content (41%), Marketing (11%) and Staffing (5%).
  --  Most frequently cited problems:
      --  Teachers can't adequately prepare students because they lack
          access to the needed software, hardware and real-world business
          problems;
      --  Students are ill-prepared for the rigorous statistical analysis
          required. They shy away from the tough preparatory courses needed
          to make sense of query results.
  --  Teradata University Network has stepped forward with the needed tools,
      including free software, hardware, and real world business problems.
  --  Responding to the survey were professors from more than 80
      universities around the world, including Canada, China, Germany,
      Netherlands, Singapore, South Africa, Spain and the United States.
  --  The survey findings were presented to the Business Intelligence
      Congress in Phoenix on December 14.
  --  The Internet survey was distributed to university professors who are
      members of the Association for Information Systems listserv.
  --  The survey was conducted by Barbara Wixom, co-Executive Director of
      the Teradata University Network, an associate professor at the
      University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce, and Director of
      UVA's M.S. in M.I.T. graduate program. She is an associate editor of
      the Business Intelligence Journal and a research fellow of The Data
      Warehousing Institute (TDWI).

Universities around the world struggle to develop the next-generation business intelligence work force. The two largest areas of concern are an inability to provide relevant and meaningful problems for students to solve, and the cost of providing the database technology needed to solve the problems.  Teradata Corporation has stepped forward to provide the needed tools, including free software, hardware through the Teradata University Network.

Barbara Wixom, associate professor at the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce:

"It's clear from the survey that instructors want to change the way students learn about business intelligence. Professors want to provide large data sets, contemporary software tools, and real-world content within their classrooms. But, factors like high technology costs, complex maintenance requirements, and steep learning curves present insurmountable obstacles."

"When we can help students understand what it means to use business intelligence to address problems faced by companies today, they are much better prepared to become productive employees."

Scott Gnau, vice president and general manager, Research and Development, Teradata Corporation:

"We recognize the obstacles universities face in teaching BI. By helping them prepare students, we're helping the business world capitalize on data analytics, one of the top technology priorities for companies today."

"Increasingly, companies compete on knowledge about their own business.  Leveraging business intelligence for that strategic advantage requires a well-prepared workforce.  We currently need to develop those capabilities in people after they are hired. Our strategy of assisting universities with tools is so they can scale the talent pool and prepare the next generation of BI professionals.

Groundbreaking Reality Show Reproduces Doomsday Scenario

The Vault Airs April 2010 on a Web Browser Near You

CHICAGO, March 24 -- In less than a month, the reality of doomsday will come to life in a ground-breaking internet-based "reality show" that places a dozen people underground for an entire year to find out how humans would survive a catastrophic event. The Vault, launching April 2010, will be broadcast over the web and for a moderate price the world will have the opportunity to watch what happens.

Spawned by doomsday enthusiast and writer Russ McCullough, The Vault evolved out of Russ's own fears about the end of the world. "I personally believe at least one of the predictions will happen," says Russ. "But for me, the most important question is not, IF it will happen, but what you will DO if it happens?"

Created by a group of business-minded visionaries at Inlighten Film Productions, The Vault will film for an anticipated year, posting daily episode updates to the website. Located at an undisclosed location in the Central United States, The Vault will take place in an original fallout shelter built during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Outfitted with cameras at every angle and little more than the basic supplies they'll need to survive, the cast will be tested in a variety of ways, primarily the isolation itself. There will be no access to LIVE media of any kind including television, radio, newspapers or current events. In addition, there will be no cell phones or communication with loved ones. The Vault will be virtually and literally sealed off from the entire world - we can see in, but they cannot see out.

Advising on the psychological implications of the premise and helping to select the personalities most apt to handle the stresses of the situation is Dr. Larry Grimm of the University of Illinois at Chicago.

"We anticipate these cast members will go through a full range of emotions from fear and panic to depression and stress," remarks Dr. Grimm. "The societal norms that typically set the parameters of acceptable behavior will eventually weaken. A new micro-society will develop."

To test this micro-society, there will be organized "interventions" that represent the challenges they would face if this were not a test. They will be asked to make difficult decisions, learn new skill sets, resolve conflicts and ultimately evolve. As in the real scenario, their performance will determine their fate.

The ultimate goal is to see exactly how a group of people would respond if the predictions about society's end come true. It's a group dynamic that has never been tried before, according to The Vault's Executive Producer, John St. Anthony. "We're in uncharted territory here. This is not 'scripted reality.' This is real. No one knows what will happen in The Vault but we believe it's a critical question to answer and we know the world will want to watch."

About The Vault

The Vault is a groundbreaking internet-based reality show placing about a dozen strangers in an underground fallout shelter for a year. Airing in April 2010, the objective is to see first hand what life underground will be like for a group of strangers who just might happen to survive should the doomsday predictions come true.

AT&T Announces Nationwide Plans for 3G MicroCell

Femtocell Service from AT&T Supports 3G Voice and Data, Will Offer Attractive Price Point and Plan Options

DALLAS, March 24 -- AT&T* today announced that AT&T 3G MicroCell plans to begin its national roll out beginning in mid April, with new markets activating in cities across the continental U.S. for the next several months.  AT&T 3G MicroCell is an innovative solution that allows residential customers to route wireless phone calls and data connections (or sessions) across a home broadband connection. This solution is designed to benefit customers who live in homes that have coverage impediments that consistently interrupt wireless spectrum, such as dense wall and roof construction or unfavorable terrain.

AT&T 3G MicroCell is the only femtocell to support both 3G data and voice services.  Developed in conjunction with Cisco and in a public trial in select markets since September, AT&T 3G MicroCell is available for a one-time cost of $149.99.

Consumers with AT&T 3G MicroCell will be able to easily activate the device the same day it is purchased, thanks to easy, self-install instructions. Technical support is available for customers who need it.

Consumers manage AT&T 3G MicroCell though their online MyWireless account at http://www.att.com/mywireless. Through this online management, only those phones chosen by the customer may use the MicroCell. Customers may define up to 10 lines to have access and up to four may operate on it simultaneously. Minutes used through the MicroCell affect only the account of the phone making the call - there is no requirement to purchase separate service for the 3G MicroCell.

In addition, AT&T will offer a companion rate plan option for MicroCell customers - especially customers on Family Talk plans -- who want to supplement their existing voice plans.  For $19.99 a month, individual or Family Talk customers can make unlimited calls through a 3G MicroCell, without using minutes in their monthly wireless voice plan.

Consumers who select 3G MicroCell calling plans at purchase are also eligible to receive a $100 mail-in-rebate toward the purchase of AT&T 3G MicroCell - effectively making the device about $50. Customers who also purchase a new line of broadband service with AT&T (DSL or U-verse 1.5MB or higher) are also eligible for $50 via mail-in-rebate- effectively making the device about $100.  If a customer is eligible for both rebate options, the customer will be able to get the device for $0, after mail-in rebate.

ThePerfectRug.com -- A New Online Destination for Customizable, Hand-Cut Rugs at Affordable Prices

SAN FRANCISCO, March 24 -- The Perfect Rug (http://www.theperfectrug.com), a new online destination for customizable rugs, has just launched. The Perfect Rug is first in its category - dedicated to creating custom rugs online, in any size, and without paying a custom price. Customers of theperfectrug.com can expect to receive the same quality rugs one would find from big box stores, but available in any size and often several hundreds of dollars cheaper in price with shipping to the 48 contiguous states.

Do you need a wide runner for the upstairs hallway? A square sisal-bound rug with matching border to fit under the perfectly round kitchen table? Now you can get that made quickly and easily on The Perfect Rug. The rugs are hand-cut, hand-bound and sewn together to create exactly the color, material and shape you need.

Once the customer has logged into theperfectrug.com they will be guided - via clear and concise instructions - to create their custom rug. Once the materials, finishing and color(s) are chosen, The Perfect Rug combines its expertise in hand-cutting, hand-binding, and its unmatched resources, from sisal to New Zealand pure wools and traffic-friendly blends, to make the "perfect rug." Sampling is encouraged - as The Perfect Rug understands just how important a choice this can be.

"The genesis of the idea behind The Perfect Rug," says Lisa Joss of The Perfect Rug, "came from John Wilson's experience as owner of California Carpets. He immediately noticed a high demand from customers needing to create off-size rugs instead of buying off the rack. He created The Perfect Rug to allow customers to easily create an off-size, custom rug to suit any room and without paying a custom price. Accessibility, wide selection of materials, and instant gratification are the hallmarks of The Perfect Rug."

The Perfect Rug maintains its own workroom where the rugs are hand-cut to the perfect size and then hand-bound using a variety of different edging techniques. Completed rugs are then shipped in as short as 2 weeks. Attention to detail, true craftsmanship, and personalization are the three cruxes on which The Perfect Rug holds itself to as both an online store and a provider of customizable rugs.

Demand for Google's Nexus One Smartphone Jumps on the Global Parallel Market

TEL AVIV, Israel, March 24, 2010--     RCS Limited (http://www.rcs.com), the world's largest international
trader of cellular phones, digital cameras and other portable electronics,
has announced today that demand for Google's Nexus One Smartphone has been
increasing steadily since the beginning of the year. In February, worldwide
demand for the Nexus One was 16% higher than that of the iPhone, and this
trend is expected to continue toward the end of the first quarter.

    Unlike the Apple iPhone, Google's Nexus One is unlocked and can be
purchased without a service plan from a cellular operator.

    "According to the trading data from RCS' global network, Nexus One is
expected to continue to increase its market share in the Smartphone market
moving into Q2," said Rami Feller, President of RCS. "In our opinion, the
main factors that lead to the increased demand for Nexus One are the lower
unit price compared to other Smarthphones, Google's unlocked business model
and the easy interface with other Google web-based applications."

    About RCS

    RCS, a privately held company established in 1995, is the
world's largest international trader of cellular phones, digital cameras and
other portable electronics. The company's international sales team maintains
