Mega Tiny Corp Launches PowerBulb(TM), The World's First LED Light Bulb With Dual USB Charging
LOS ANGELES, November 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Launching on Kickstarter, PowerBulb adds USB ports to all standard lampsÂ
Mega Tiny Corp [https://megatinycorp.com ] today announces the launch of PowerBulb,
the world's first LED lightbulb that integrates USB charging anywhere in the home, office
or hotel. With PowerBulb, gone are the days of petty anger, trivial annoyance and
senseless frustration by not having easy access to a charging source. PowerBulb harnesses
the power of the lightbulb to charge your mobile devices. Simply place PowerBulb into a
lamp, turn on the lamp, attach a USB charging cable, and then connect the devices you are
looking to charge!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/megatiny/1673315683?token=e158481a
We've all been there. Smartphone-sofa-surfing, laying-in-bed-browsing or
hotel-room-boredom-busting when your battery is running low and there simply isn't a
charging socket within arm's reach. The modern room simply isn't set up to solve the
socket wars we all encounter on a daily basis in search for mobile power.
This usually results in three irritating scenarios:
1) Breaking our backs to access hidden wall sockets behind furniture
2) Spaghetti tangle of cables, wires and power socket extenders at the bedside
3) Borrowing, losing or fighting over mobile chargers all over your house
All bring us dark moments, but PowerBulb will show you the light in these situations.
When you don't want the light on, the PowerBulb's simple on/off button means both devices
continue to charge with the light off. All at just $29 for early birds!
Jeff Wilcox, Head of Product Development, said: "We saw an obvious problem that almost
everyone faces - how to get easily accessible charging ports anywhere in our home without
a big mess of cables and the hassle of locating an outlet that's never in a convenient
place. Our bright idea was tapping into the light bulb!
Fast forward a few months and all four of the Mega Tiny founders would never go back
to bedside charging any other way! We're excited to be bringing the PowerBulb to
Kickstarter. It's a great place for us to engage with our fantastic community again, and
we can't wait to hear what backers have to say!"Â
Smart, eh? Well, PowerBulb is actually MegaSmart. Using its MegaSmart(TM) charging
technology, it intuitively sends more power to the device with a lower charge. Once
charged evenly, both devices will receive the same amount of power as would be received
from a wall charger.
PowerBulb Specifications:Â
- 50,000 hour LED life (more than 5 years of non-stop use)
- Height 14.9cm
- Width of 7cm, at its widest point
- Weighs 272 grams or 0.6lbs.
- Features a 2700k warm light and 608 lumens
- The smart-charging USB ports are 21W and 2.4a each
- Works with all E26 and E27 sockets
PowerBulb is available now for pre-order on Kickstarter
[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/megatiny/1673315683?token=e158481a ], starting $29
early bird pricing for delivery in December. Delivery worldwide.

TCL Unveils The Ultimate Connected Home Hub: Xess With Amazon Alexa
With built-in Alexa voice service and pre-loaded applications, the 17-inch TCL Xess is the perfect connected home hub
IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- TCL(®), one of the fastest-growing consumer electronics brands in North America, today announced the next generation of Xess(TM) now with Amazon Alexa. Thanks to new functionality of the Alexa voice service paired with the Xess's innovative hardware features, TCL is now able to offer a complete mobile home hub that owners can use to control a suite of compatible devices including thermostats, lights, garage doors, sprinklers, and more. This is in addition to other Alexa capabilities and skills like creating shopping lists or catching up on the latest news and weather thanks to thousands of instant hands-free voice commands. The TCL Xess integrated with Alexa is now available for purchase on Amazon at an introductory price of only $499.
"With the TCL Xess integrated with Alexa, we're bringing even greater experience driven value to our customers; offering a home hub that delivers functionality and connectivity that are unmatched in the marketplace," said Steve Cistulli, President and General Manager for TCT, North America.
"We're thrilled to work with TCL to bring Xess with Alexa to customers," said Aaron Brown, Director, Amazon Alexa. "Now TCL customers can turn on and off their lights, get the weather, listen to audiobooks and more--just by using their voice. We can't wait for customers to try it out."
THE PORTABLE CONNECTED HOME HUB
Showcasing a vibrant 17.3-inch Full HD display, clean design, and built-in carry handle, Xess is designed to be easy to use anywhere in the home. The Alexa voice service integration also enables Xess to share the latest traffic, weather, news, sports scores and schedules, information and more. Plus, Alexa can connect to smart home devices like WeMo, Philips Hue, Nest, and more so customers can control their home by just asking Alexa. To enhance the functionality of the Xess device, it is being packaged with an IP camera, bringing in-home monitoring to any room in the house, perfect for keeping an eye on the nursery, playroom or living room from wherever Xess is setup. More than just a home hub, it also packs entertainment for the whole family, with access to streaming content from an expansive library of popular apps, as well as dual 3.6-watt JBL® speakers for a loud, immersive audio experience.
CREATING CURATED KITCHEN EXPERIENCES
Pre-loaded with Kitchen Stories, providing access to meal recipes and cooking how-to videos, the TCL Xess makes meal discovery and planning simple. And now with the addition of Alexa, the device combines culinary technology with the ease of hands-free voice control in the kitchen. This enables users to find new recipes on the device, retrieve measurement conversions, shop for ingredients and more - with just the sound of one's voice.

Collectible Card Game Fans Draft Their Decks in Dynasty Football, Online Strategy Card Game from FlowPlay

Collectible Card Game Fans Draft Their Decks in Dynasty Football, Online Strategy Card Game from FlowPlay
Creator of the Most Robust Set of Free-to-Play Social Sports Wagering Games Invites Players to the Gridiron for Head-to-Head Card Matches
SEATTLE, Nov. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- FlowPlay, creator of the most powerful immersive gaming platform, today announced the launch of Dynasty Football, an online fantasy football strategy card game. Created for fantasy football fans and collectible card game enthusiasts alike, Dynasty Football combines the real-world stats and player drafting mechanics of fantasy football with the excitement of head-to-head card matches. As the fifth social sports wagering game from FlowPlay, Dynasty Football rounds out the industry's most robust suite of free-to-play fantasy sports-based games.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150508/214914LOGO
Fans get ready to dominate the league, crush the competition and become a legend at DynastyFootball.com. Also be sure to check out the gameplay trailer at bit.ly/DynastyFootballGameplay.
Players draft their decks from a set of more than 350 cards in this fast-paced, head-to-head card game designed to simulate a virtual football game. Just like football, the goal is to advance the ball toward the opponent's end zone and score a touchdown. Using 30-card offensive and defensive decks, players devise strategies to build an unstoppable passing offense or the ultimate shutdown defense.
Secure a winning record in Dynasty Football by mastering the gameplay features, including:
-- Build a Team: Essential in the drafting of 7-card hands, Player cards
feature a Fantasy Value based on the player's real-world stats from the
2015 season. Cards span offensive and defensive positions such as
Quarterback and Defensive Lineman.
-- Win a Down: Similar to rock-paper-scissors, each player position trumps
one position, is neutral to another, and it trumped by a third position.
The winning formula is simple - if the Player card trumps the opponent's
card, the down is won. If the two cards are neutral, the higher Fantasy
Value triumphs.
-- Make a Big Play: If the Player card both trumps and has higher Fantasy
Value than the opponent's, a Big Play results. On offense this means
double the yard gain, while on defense this means a loss of yards for
the offense.
-- Power Up: Power cards represent game-changing plays, abilities and
strategies such as interceptions, timeouts and formations.
-- Expand the Bench: By winning games and completing daily challenges,
players earn virtual currency to purchase new card packs.
"Collectible card games have become increasingly popular over the last two years, and we saw an opportunity to bring our expertise in casual fantasy sports games to this growing market," said Derrick Morton, CEO of FlowPlay. "Dynasty Football brings together the fun of fantasy and strategy of digital card games into a one-of-a-kind, social experience."
FlowPlay is the definitive leader in social sports wagering, with the industry's most robust set of free-to-play fantasy sports-based games. Dynasty Football joins FlowPlay's suite of titles alongside Vegas World Sports Book, 5 Card Draft, All Star Daily Fantasy and Ready Set Bet. All games can be played in FlowPlay's flagship massively multiplayer online game (MMO), Vegas World.

Quorum Delivers New Backup and Recovery Suite: Simplified, Infinitely Scalable with Unrivaled Performance
The new enterprise-class on Q 4.0 platform boasts an all inclusive disaster recovery and backup management console, simplified.
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Quorum, the leader in one-click disaster recovery and business continuity, today announced general availability of its onQ 4.0 platform offering the industry's most complete suite of high availability, disaster recovery and hybrid cloud (DraaS) solutions. Quorum onQ 4.0 offers one click recovery, allowing customers to cut disaster recovery time from hours to minutes. Other key highlights in onQ 4.0 are the ability for automated DR testing and sandboxing for production level patch and configuration testing. The best part is all features available in onQ 4.0 are delivered and managed from a single management console.
Key features with the onQ 4.0 platform:
-- Instant Recovery - 1 click starts a virtual clone of production servers
-- New UI - browser based, single view and color coded for easy problem ID
-- Automated DR testing - clones are started and verified after each backup
-- Sandbox environment - local subnet allows patch and configuration
testing
-- Migration Tools - bare metal restore to same or different hardware.
-- Replication - compressed and encrypted backups are sent to customer DR
site or Quorum cloud (DraaS)
-- Archive - policy based migration and retention
-- Backup - server image, apps and data compressed and encrypted
-- Deduplication - both at the source and destination
The key features of the Quorum onQ 4.0 product are aimed to address clear customer and partner demand for more solution consolidation, automation and simplicity. Based on a recent study conducted by Quorum named, TheState of Disaster Recovery Report, it is clear that businesses are dealing with overwhelming complexity and cost, and are looking to simplify and consolidate solutions. It is also clear clear that businesses are looking to migrate more disaster recovery capability to the cloud or hybrid solutions. Some of the key findings of this study are:
-- 75% of respondents are leveraging cloud based disaster recovery
solutions, with 36% using a hybrid on premise and cloud model and 39%
using only DraaS.
-- 89% of respondents are planning on implementing more cloud based
disaster recovery
-- 64% of respondents are using more than 3 different disaster recovery
products with 26% using between 5-10.
-- 90% of respondents would be interested in consolidating their disaster
recovery into one management console.
-- Over 80% say that it takes over an hour to recover from a server
failure, even with 72% of respondents saying that speed of backup and
recovery is extremely critical.
There are several significant trends concerning IT leaders in this study and the full report can be viewed here.
"This release is significant in that we are offering customers the only solution that provides HA, DR and DraaS in a single pane of glass." said Simon Pearce, CEO, Quorum, "We are focused on being the fastest recovery solution in the market offering one-click recovery to any combination of infrastructure. This is an underserved market; customers are trying to get by with old technology and onQ version 4.0 represents the next generation in disaster recovery capability."
"A product that can cut recovery time from hours to minutes, and a solution set that outdoes all of our competitors speaks for itself" said Darin Pendergraft, Vice President of Product Marketing. "The ability to perform automated self-testing and cloud sandboxing with any combination of HA, DR or DraaS, makes Quorum onQ 4.0 a highly competitive offering in this mature marketplace."
Quorum OnQ 4.0 will be available the first week of December to customers. For more in depth information on capabilities, architecture and affordability, please visit our product page http://www.quorum.net/product.

uSens Makes its Color Fingo Virtual and Augmented Reality Tracking Kit Available for Pre-Order
Platform, hardware and content makers can now benefit from industry's most innovative technology for creating natural ARVR experiences
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- uSens, Inc., a pioneer in developing natural hand-and-head tracking technologies for Augmented and Virtual Reality, is making its Color Fingo tracking device available for pre-order by Head-Mounted Display (HMD) and other hardware, platform, and content makers. uSens is exhibiting its cutting-edge "inside-out" tracking technologies at the Unity Unite 2016 event booth 19 in Los Angeles today through November 3.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20161031/434570
With two RGB cameras and aided by a 9 axis motion sensor, Color Fingo brings advanced inside-out 6DOF (six degrees of freedom) positional tracking --without requiring external markers-- as an add-on device to existing VR platforms using SLAM fusion algorithms. Not only that, uSens' computer vision technology in Color Fingo enables video see-through augmented reality that transforms a "pure VR" system into an AR and VR system. The combination of these features merges AR and VR into a fluid continuum where developers can build experiences that seamlessly transition between augmented and virtual reality, combining the best of both worlds while maintaining the critical feeling of true presence.
"We're making our Color Fingo hardware and software available for the industry in order to forge partnerships that will accelerate mass-market ARVR adoption," said Dr. Yue Fei, CTO and co-founder of uSens. "We want to make it possible for developers to create the most comprehensive, naturally interactive 3D experiences, which require advanced tracking without a peripheral device." Dr. Fei is speaking at the Unite 2016 conference at 2:30 pm on November 2 on the topic of "Input and Tracking: Mass Market ARVR Adoption is Coming Soon."
The recently debuted uSens Fingo series of comprehensive developer kits has three Fingo modules -- Entry-Level, Color and Power-- offering advanced 3D human-computer interaction capability for both mobile and tethered systems, including Samsung Gear VR(TM), HTC Vive(TM), Oculus Rift(TM), and Google Cardboard(TM). By attaching a Fingo module to the front of an HMD, end users can enjoy their favorite apps without major sacrifices to system power consumption or performance - even on mobile.
Color Fingo Specifications

-- Mixed Reality/AR Overlay: Video See-Through Augmented Reality
-- System Requirements: Android 4.4+, 64bit Windows 8+
-- SDK Support: Unity3D, Java, C++

Platform, hardware and content makers can now benefit from industry's most innovative technology for creating natural ARVR experiences
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- uSens, Inc., a pioneer in developing natural hand-and-head tracking technologies for Augmented and Virtual Reality, is making its Color Fingo tracking device available for pre-order by Head-Mounted Display (HMD) and other hardware, platform, and content makers. uSens is exhibiting its cutting-edge "inside-out" tracking technologies at the Unity Unite 2016 event booth 19 in Los Angeles today through November 3.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20161031/434570
With two RGB cameras and aided by a 9 axis motion sensor, Color Fingo brings advanced inside-out 6DOF (six degrees of freedom) positional tracking --without requiring external markers-- as an add-on device to existing VR platforms using SLAM fusion algorithms. Not only that, uSens' computer vision technology in Color Fingo enables video see-through augmented reality that transforms a "pure VR" system into an AR and VR system. The combination of these features merges AR and VR into a fluid continuum where developers can build experiences that seamlessly transition between augmented and virtual reality, combining the best of both worlds while maintaining the critical feeling of true presence.
"We're making our Color Fingo hardware and software available for the industry in order to forge partnerships that will accelerate mass-market ARVR adoption," said Dr. Yue Fei, CTO and co-founder of uSens. "We want to make it possible for developers to create the most comprehensive, naturally interactive 3D experiences, which require advanced tracking without a peripheral device." Dr. Fei is speaking at the Unite 2016 conference at 2:30 pm on November 2 on the topic of "Input and Tracking: Mass Market ARVR Adoption is Coming Soon."
The recently debuted uSens Fingo series of comprehensive developer kits has three Fingo modules -- Entry-Level, Color and Power-- offering advanced 3D human-computer interaction capability for both mobile and tethered systems, including Samsung Gear VR(TM), HTC Vive(TM), Oculus Rift(TM), and Google Cardboard(TM). By attaching a Fingo module to the front of an HMD, end users can enjoy their favorite apps without major sacrifices to system power consumption or performance - even on mobile.

CAN Bus Design IP From CAST Now Bundles in Avery Verification IP
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. and TEWKSBURY, Mass., Nov. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --Semiconductor design and verification intellectual property providers CAST, Inc. and Avery Design Systems have partnered to deliver a robust, pre-configured, pre-verified, easy-to-use solution bundle for system developers needing a CAN FD bus controller for automotive and industrial applications.
The new CAN Bus Solution Bundle includes the CAN 2.0 & CAN FD Bus Controller Core from CAST--one of the earliest and most tested such cores available--and the CAN-Xactor VIP from Avery--one of the most comprehensive CAN 2.0 and CAN FD verification suites available--along with a one-month free license to CAN-Xactor.
About the CAN Bus Solution Bundle
Available now through CAST, the CAN 2.0 and FD bundle with 30-day free VIP license is pre-configured to give system developers an immediate, "out of the box" way to evaluate the CAN IP against all applicable industry specifications. An easy, cost-effective license offered through CAST or Avery then allows developers to conveniently use the same VIP suite to verify the correct operation of the CAN bus as their system development progresses.
The CAN Bus Controller Core in the bundle is developed by Fraunhofer IPMS and licensed and supported by CAST. It was among the first soft IP cores available for ASICs and FPGAs. Running on CAST's CAN FD Reference Design, it has already undergone the real-world-like testing of three CAN In Automation (CIA) Plug Fests, more than any other core. This includes proven operation with physical transceivers from all popular physical CAN FD transceivers, including those from Denso Automotive, Infineon Technologies, NXP Semiconductors, and On Semiconductor.
"We've already licensed this CAN design IP to more than 20 companies this calendar year who have recognized it as the most feature-rich, plug-fest-proven, transceiver-independent CAN FD controller available," said Nikos Zervas, chief executive officer of CAST. "Now with the respected, world-class VIP from Avery bundled into this solution package, designers can get to work even quicker, confident in the correct operation of this drop-in CAN controller solution."
The Avery CAN2.0 and FD VIP suite included in the bundle supports the latest ISO specifications including the recent 11898-2 revision. It includes a comprehensive set of models and compliance testsuites for all modes in the specifications. The class-leading VIP is developed in native SystemVerilog UVM, and includes traffic generation, protocol checking, and coverage.
"The CAN FD IP CAST offers is clearly among the best available, and we're proud to couple our popular verification IP package with it to help designers quickly prove they're working with a solid, trustworthy CAN controller," said Chris Browy, vice president of sales and marketing at Avery. "Later that same VIP package can help verify that the CAN network is functioning correctly within even the most complex automotive or industrial systems."
Availability and Licensing
The new CAN Bus Solution Bundle is available now through CAST. Visit the CAST website (http://www.cast-inc.com) to learn more, then contact CAST to arrange an evaluation or discuss licensing (info@cast-inc.com, +1 201.391.8300).

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20161031/434599
The newly enhanced VIZIO SmartCast app provides users with a faster all-around content aggregation experience. Rather than jumping between apps, the VIZIO SmartCast app allows users to search and browse content by scouring genres across multiple apps at once and then select the app or source of their choice to play the content on the at-home big screen. The user experience is further enhanced with accessibility to new release movies and next-day TV shows to rent or buy from FandangoNOW with no required subscription. Consumers can easily browse content options from FandangoNOW alongside content catalogs from other popular apps, making for a quicker, more seamless search and discovery experience(1).
"We're thrilled to bring FandangoNOW to the fingertips of our VIZIO SmartCast users," said Matt McRae, Chief Technology Officer, VIZIO. "The VIZIO SmartCast app makes it easier than ever for consumers to control their devices, giving them the ability to search and browse multiple content catalogs at one time before tapping to select content and cast to the display. By integrating FandangoNOW into the VIZIO SmartCast app, we're giving consumers another way to further enhance their entertainment experience."

The app makes it incredibly convenient for consumers to search, discover, browse and cast their favorite movies, shows, songs and more to their VIZIO SmartCast P-Series or M-Series Ultra HD HDR Home Theater Displays or E-Series Home Theater Displays.
With Chromecast built-in, every VIZIO SmartCast display, sound bar and speaker allows consumers to easily access thousands of mobile apps they already know and love. By simply tapping the Cast button, content goes from a user's mobile screen to any VIZIO SmartCast or Cast-enabled device on their home WiFi network. And with casting over WiFi, consumers can still multi-task on their tablet remote or their own mobile device without interrupting the Cast session.

Microsemi Adds New Entry-Level RAID Solutions to Award-Winning Adaptec Product Family for Server Storage
New Solution is Optimized for Latest SAS/SATA HDDs and SSDs, Delivering High Performance and Reliability at a Cost-Effective Price Point
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Nov. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, today announced two new adapters in its award-winning Microsemi Adaptec(®) Series 8 product family. The 8405E and 8805E offer server storage customers entry-level systems with redundant array of independent disks (RAID) devices that deliver accelerated performance with built-in cache and uncompromised reliability.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20161031/434300-INFO
As the original true hardware RAID devices offering 12 Gbps throughput at each port, the new cost-effective Microsemi Adaptec Series 8E adapter solutions enable entry-level servers and workstations with redundant boot support and input/output (I/O) intensive applications such as databases, video editing and network video recording (NVR), which require high bandwidth. The 8405E and 8805E support hybrid RAID for maximum performance with solid state drives (SSDs) and cost-efficient redundancy.
"Our new additions to the Series 8 family were driven by customer demand for a true hardware RAID solution at the entry level. We went a step further by providing on-board cache for accelerated performance, making these devices attractive to both current and new customers," said Pete Hazen, vice president of scalable storage solutions at Microsemi. "This is the ideal solution for cost-effective servers and workstations that do not require the full-featured capabilities of our Series 8 RAID adapters."
Microsemi's new devices offer a migration path for those seeking to transition from an alternative software RAID solution to a robust hardware RAID solution. It also provides customers a migration path from the company's current Series 6E 6 Gbps products to a 12 Gbps solution to future-proof and add additional capabilities to their servers. In addition to offering data reliability, the 8450E and 8805E deliver over nine times improvement in random read SATA SSD performance over the Series 6E devices and increase the bandwidth capability of SAS/SATA devices by 16 times.
"We had great success with the Microsemi Adaptec Series 6E 6 Gbps RAID products," said Viktor Martens, Product Management, Servers, at Wortmann AG. "With the Series 8E 12Gbps RAID adapters we see overall performance improvement with SSDs and the reliability and robustness of hardware RAID that are important criteria for our customers."
According to a global market intelligence and advisory firm IDC's recent report, enterprise SSD shipments grew 44 percent year over year in the second quarter of 2016, reaching 3.9 million units per quarter. SAS and SATA SSDs make up more than 85 percent of the server storage market SSD unit shipments today and 100 percent of the hard disk drive (HDD) market shipments, making SAS/SATA connectivity and manageability a central component in the enterprise architecture.
"Entry-level hardware RAID is an essential technology to maximize the performance of SSDs or provide critical data protection in a cost-effective redundancy solution," said Jeff Janukowicz, research vice president at IDC. "Microsemi has become a key player in the storage market and the addition of an entry-level RAID card to expand its proven 12G Series 8 SAS/SATA product line is another example of that commitment."
Key features of Microsemi's new 8405E and 8805E include:
-- Hardware RAID 0,1,10 to provide data reliability and performance
acceleration for up to four and eight direct attach devices (8405E and
8805E, respectively)
-- Built-in high performance DRAM cache for HDD and SDD performance
acceleration
-- Consistent suite of management tools across platforms and operating
system, offering ease of use
-- Support of SAS/SATA devices (versus competitors' SATA only offerings)
"At Ingram Micro, we rely exclusively on Microsemi Adaptec SAS/SATA solutions to meet the storage connectivity needs of our diverse customer base of system integrators, OEMs and value added resellers," said Shelly Dailey, director of product marketing for Ingram Micro. "Expanding its Series 8 product line with the addition of the cost-effective 8E SKUs will allow us to expand our sales to customers in the entry-level server category who need a lower cost solution without sacrificing performance."

IIoT and Industry 4.0 within Easy Reach Thanks to Simple Solutions from RS Components
Virtually any industrial application can be easily connected to the wider enterprise with the right products and support
SYDNEY, Nov. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- RS Components (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents plc (LSE:ECM), the global distributor for engineers, offers multiple solutions to help engineers exploit the numerous benefits of a smart, connected-factory approach.
http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20161101/8521607089
http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20150818/8521505364LOGO
By leveraging the capabilities underpinning the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 -- two global megatrends that are revolutionising industry -- users will be able to capture, collate, decipher and disburse vital, real-time manufacturing data, enabling them to make faster, better informed and immediately actionable business decisions.
The key to this new data paradigm is giving products, machines, cells and lines the ability to communicate harmonised manufacturing and process data to the wider enterprise as quickly and efficiently as possible. This communication can be by any number of different means -- Near Field Communication (NFC), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Modbus, Ethernet, etc. -- all that is required is the means to collate and connect.
A new landing page published on the RS website shows how users can easily create a connected architecture, even when working with commodity or "dumb" products. The page details products and solutions that can read information from existing control systems, harmonise the communication protocols and make this information available to a wider network. In some cases the solutions can even make the communication between machines or systems more secure.
Among the many products RS offers for connected solutions is a new NFC timing relay from Schneider Electric, which offers control and monitoring of a timing relay via NFC using a smartphone or tablet. At the controller level there is also a range of Modbus-capable mini PLCs from BARTH, which can turn simple machines and cells into fully connected manufacturing nodes. Higher up the control spectrum, MICA modular industrial computers from HARTING offer open-source programming so users can develop integrated industry projects quickly, with minimal expense and disruption. These three solutions are just a small part of a myriad products and services that RS offers for wider connection capabilities.
To help with product selection and to learn more about the IIoT and Industry 4.0, the RS DesignSpark repository is a goldmine of helpful information and advice, capturing the latest IIoT news, solutions and products. This added-value service offers software, 3D models, articles, tools and forum discussions relating to many of the products, services and capabilities in the extensive RS range.

By leveraging the capabilities underpinning the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 -- two global megatrends that are revolutionising industry -- users will be able to capture, collate, decipher and disburse vital, real-time manufacturing data, enabling them to make faster, better informed and immediately actionable business decisions.
The key to this new data paradigm is giving products, machines, cells and lines the ability to communicate harmonised manufacturing and process data to the wider enterprise as quickly and efficiently as possible. This communication can be by any number of different means -- Near Field Communication (NFC), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Modbus, Ethernet, etc. -- all that is required is the means to collate and connect.
A new landing page published on the RS website shows how users can easily create a connected architecture, even when working with commodity or "dumb" products. The page details products and solutions that can read information from existing control systems, harmonise the communication protocols and make this information available to a wider network. In some cases the solutions can even make the communication between machines or systems more secure.
Among the many products RS offers for connected solutions is a new NFC timing relay from Schneider Electric, which offers control and monitoring of a timing relay via NFC using a smartphone or tablet. At the controller level there is also a range of Modbus-capable mini PLCs from BARTH, which can turn simple machines and cells into fully connected manufacturing nodes. Higher up the control spectrum, MICA modular industrial computers from HARTING offer open-source programming so users can develop integrated industry projects quickly, with minimal expense and disruption. These three solutions are just a small part of a myriad products and services that RS offers for wider connection capabilities.
To help with product selection and to learn more about the IIoT and Industry 4.0, the RS DesignSpark repository is a goldmine of helpful information and advice, capturing the latest IIoT news, solutions and products. This added-value service offers software, 3D models, articles, tools and forum discussions relating to many of the products, services and capabilities in the extensive RS range.

The release features Billy the Puppet from Lionsgate's Saw films, the most popular long-running horror franchise in history, Ash Williams from Starz's popular Ash vs Evil Dad television series and Leprechaun from Lionsgate's classic Leprechaun film franchise checking into a hilariously haunted hotel run by James Woods, a recurring Family Guy guest star.
This unique Halloween event builds upon Fox Digital Entertainment and TinyCo's track record for keeping players engaged by regularly integrating third-party IP and new storylines into the beloved mobile game FAMILY GUY: The Quest for Stuff. In this version, "Sheriff" Peter Griffin and his costumed crew do battle with the supernatural forces that have taken over the hotel.

"Starz is thrilled that Ash vs Evil Dead will be joining the FAMILY GUY: THE QUEST FOR STUFF.

Added Rick Phillips, Executive Vice President at Fox Digital Entertainment, "Halloween's coming to Quahog and this year it's going to be especially terrifying. We're excited to be working with Lionsgate and Starz to include these iconic horror characters in a great new event in FAMILY GUY: The Quest for Stuff."
The unique opportunity to incorporate characters from popular Lionsgate franchises and Starz series into FAMILY GUY: The Quest for Stuff was one that Suli Ali, President at TinyCo, a Jam City Company, couldn't be more enthusiastic about, "Halloween is one of our player's favorite events. To be able to bring these beloved characters to the Family Guy universe is a fun and exciting privilege that will provide tons of scares and laughs!"

This unique Halloween event builds upon Fox Digital Entertainment and TinyCo's track record for keeping players engaged by regularly integrating third-party IP and new storylines into the beloved mobile game FAMILY GUY: The Quest for Stuff. In this version, "Sheriff" Peter Griffin and his costumed crew do battle with the supernatural forces that have taken over the hotel.
"As longtime fans of the TinyCo team and FAMILY GUY: The Quest for Stuff, we are fired up and honored to include our intellectual property into this limited-time Halloween event," said Peter Levin, President, Interactive Ventures & Games for Lionsgate. "Collaborating with Fox and Starz on this initiative and allowing fans of these iconic genre characters to interact in this medium is a win for all parties involved."
"Starz is thrilled that Ash vs Evil Dead will be joining the FAMILY GUY: THE QUEST FOR STUFF. Ash Williams, Billy the Puppet, Leprechaun and Peter Griffin are bringing the party this Halloween, and Quahog is going to be cleaning up the gore for a long time to come!," said Alison Hoffman, Executive Vice President of Marketing at Starz.
Added Rick Phillips, Executive Vice President at Fox Digital Entertainment, "Halloween's coming to Quahog and this year it's going to be especially terrifying. We're excited to be working with Lionsgate and Starz to include these iconic horror characters in a great new event in FAMILY GUY: The Quest for Stuff."
The unique opportunity to incorporate characters from popular Lionsgate franchises and Starz series into FAMILY GUY: The Quest for Stuff was one that Suli Ali, President at TinyCo, a Jam City Company, couldn't be more enthusiastic about, "Halloween is one of our player's favorite events. To be able to bring these beloved characters to the Family Guy universe is a fun and exciting privilege that will provide tons of scares and laughs!"
In addition to the new Lionsgate and Starz characters who will take on a new life in Quahog, the update introduces into the game a new Investigations feature, through which players can explore James Woods' haunted hotel and scare off ghosts and ghouls with sensational new Halloween-themed actions and animations.

Primera Introduces Bravo 4200-Series Disc Publishers

Primera Introduces Bravo 4200-Series Disc Publishers
New automated disc duplicators and printers make it fast and easy to make multiple copies of CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray(TM) Discs
PLYMOUTH, Minn., Oct. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Primera Technology, Inc., one of the world's leading manufacturers of specialty digital printers, today announced its new Bravo 4200-Series Disc Printers and Disc Publishers.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20161028/433930
Starting at just $1995 MSRP (USA and Canada), Bravo 4200-series printers and disc publishers automate the process of burning and printing quantities of recordable CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. Using built-in robotics, discs are transported one at a time into either single or dual optical drives. After data is burned, the discs are transported to a high-speed, high-resolution full-color disc printer. The process repeats itself for up to 100 discs per job.
Bravo 4200 features the latest in inkjet printing technology from Funai Electric Company Ltd. Just one ink cartridge needs to be replaced instead of four tanks for CMYK, simplifying operation and on-going maintenance. This is especially important in applications such as PACS/DICOM systems in hospitals, police car video archival and other mission-critical applications where running out of even one color of ink shuts down the entire process. It also makes it easier to maintain just a single SKU instead of four as on previous models from Primera and others.
Despite the decrease in sales to consumers of physical discs containing pre-recorded music or movies, optical media continues to thrive in a host of varied applications. Just a few include military, law enforcement, courts and government, churches, schools and universities, hospitals for PACS/DICOM, recording and video production studios, television stations, archival and much more.
"Users of optical media now have another great range of rugged, automated disc publishers available to them," said Mark D. Strobel, Primera's vice president of sales and marketing. "We believe that Primera has sold more disc publishers than any company in the history of the business. Bravo 4200-series will continue that tradition in a wide variety of applications where performance and reliability along with an affordable machine and supplies cost are important."
Features of the new Bravo 4200-series include:
-- USB 3.0 - delivers the fastest possible recording speeds on CD-R, DVD-R
and BD-R media
-- One high-yield, tri-color ink cartridge - delivers low ink cost per disc
-- 4800 dpi print quality
-- Compatible with Windows 7/8/10+ and Mac OS X 10.7 (or higher)
Pricing and Availability
Eight models are available (all MSRP prices):

Core Independent Peripherals Now Available on PIC18 Family
PIC18F "K40" Features Intelligent ADC with Filtering and Signal Analysis Capabilities Ideal for Touch and Signal Conditioning
CHANDLER, Ariz., Oct. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The PIC18F "K40" family of microcontrollers (MCUs) is now available from Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP), a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions. The family consists of 10 new devices ranging from 16-128 KB of Flash memory with package options covering 28-64 pins. These cost-optimized 8-bit MCUs are the first PIC18 product family to offer Microchip's popular Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs).
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141115/158835LOGO
CIPs provide developers with the ability to accomplish tasks in hardware while freeing up the CPU to do other tasks or go to sleep. This results in reduced power consumption, allows for deterministic response time, and decreases firmware development and validation time. The PIC18F "K40" features the ADC with Computation (ADC(2)) -- an intelligent Analog-to-Digital Converter which, independent of the core, can control data acquisition and signal analysis functions required in sensor interface applications, such as capacitive touch sensing.
The addition of CIPs to the PIC18F "K40" builds upon the legacy of the successful PIC18F "K20" family. These new devices are cost effective and offer up to 128 KB of Flash, 5V operation, EEPROM and extensive peripheral integration. The devices include a full complement of Core Independent Peripherals for safety-critical applications (CRC/Memory Scan, Windowed Watchdog Timer, and Hardware Limit Timer), up to seven hardware PWMs and multiple communications interfaces. Additionally, the PIC18 "K40" family offers Intelligent Analog peripherals including Zero Cross Detect (ZCD), on-chip comparator and ADC(2). The ADC(2) handles the signal analysis functions of averaging, filtering, oversampling and automatic threshold comparison independent of the CPU.
These devices are well suited for a broad range of applications and market segments including touch sensing, industrial control, consumer, automotive and Internet of Things (IoT).
"Microchip continues to expand our 8-bit portfolio with new on-chip peripherals for both the PIC(®) and AVR(®) architectures," said Steve Drehobl, vice president of Microchip's 8-bit MCU division. "The PIC18F 'K40' family combines large memories with the Core Independent Peripherals and Microchip's MPLAB(®) Code Configurator (MCC) to significantly reduce product development time and improve system performance."
For more information about the PIC18F "K40" family, visit http://www.microchip.com/K40
Development Support
The new PIC18F "K40" family is supported by the Curiosity High Pin Count (HPC) board and Microchip's established software development platforms including MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC), MPLAB X IDE, XC8 Complier, and Microchip's new cloud-based MPLAB Xpress IDE.
Pricing and Availability
The family is available in volume production and consists of 10 new devices ranging from 16-128 KB of Flash memory. Package options range from 28-64 pins and include UQFN (4 x 4 x 0.5 mm), QFN, SOIC, SSOP, TQFP, and DIP packages. Pricing begins at $0.83 in 10K unit quantities.

Bacula Systems Addresses Industry Demand for Cloud Data Recovery Cost Efficiency
Bacula Systems' new Enterprise Edition 8.8 introduces low cost data restore from the cloud; significantly reduces backup and recovery times while reducing data centers' exposure to costs
YVERDON-LES-BAINS, Switzerland, October 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Continuing to lead in high performance backup and restore for large enterprises and
managed services providers, Bacula Systems today announced Bacula Enterprise Edition 8.8
[https://www.baculasystems.com/products/bacula-enterprise/announcing-bacula-enterprise-edition-8-8 ]
, featuring cloud integration with an exclusive Minimal Restore Cost (MRC)
functionality. Â This new cloud compatibility, combined with special cloud management tools,
provides data centers with the most integrated cloud-based backup and restore solution
for their entire physical and virtual environments regardless of architecture - all from a
single platform. Bacula Systems customers include NASA

Bacula Enterprise Edition 8.8 is a highly scalable backup and recovery software for
data centers and MSP's. Directly answering the IT industry's challenge of exploding data
volume with a low cost subscription model that does not charge by data volume, Bacula
System's latest software release with integrated cloud features makes it far easier to
predict costs - especially when recovering data from the cloud. It builds further on an
especially customizable and flexible backup and restore solution that is relevant to both
modest and large sized data centers.
The main features of Bacula Enterprise Edition 8.8 are:
- Integrated backup and restore with both public and private clouds via the S3
interface
- Granular control over data that needs to be restored from the cloud, significantly
reducing operational exposure to cloud costs and boosting business agility
- A broad range of functionality throughout the entire platform designed to integrate
physical and virtual environments with public, private and hybrid cloud data transfers,
allowing more predictable costs
- Faster backup and restores to and from the cloud, at the lowest cost
"Because of the way cloud costs are structured, data centers need a new way to manage
data recovery from the cloud. As physical, virtual and cloud combined backup strategies
become more commonplace, the opportunity to have a single backup and recovery platform
that can do it all is proving especially attractive to large enterprises, research
laboratories, large hosting centers, and universities around the world, who need to find
modern solutions that both limit costs and increase the predictability of costs" said
Frank Barker, CEO, Bacula Systems.

New Huawei Changxiang 6 Features Dirac Power Sound(TM) Speaker Optimization Technology
UPPSALA, Sweden, October 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Swedish audio technology provider Dirac Research announces today that the brand new
Huawei Changxiang 6 features Dirac Power Sound(TM) technology. Huawei Changxiang 6 is the
first in the Huawei product portfolio to include a sound experience optimized by Dirac.Â
Changxiang 6 was recently released at an event in China. The smartphone comes with a 5
inch AMOLED screen, 7.9 mm slim body, 3G RAM, and a 4100 mAh battery. Dirac Power Sound(TM)
has been adopted to bring out the full potential of the smartphone's integrated
loudspeaker, achieving a more natural, clear, and balanced sound with higher volume and
more powerful bass. Users benefit from an enhanced audio experience while using the
smartphone for listening to music, watching videos, or gaming.
Traditionally, improved mobile sound quality has been achieved through the application
of sound effects. In contrast, Dirac Power Sound(TM) is tailor-made for the smartphone and
loudspeaker, with precise models of the loudspeaker acoustics that enable a digital
controller to continuously optimize sound output in real time. Dirac Power Sound(TM)
builds on key technologies that Dirac has used for years in the premium automobile and
HiFi markets, adding algorithms tailored for small speakers in order to empower small
transducers to reproduce better sound quality.
"Dirac is probably best known for its advanced sound technologies made for luxury
audio systems in digital cinemas, high-end HiFi, and premium cars," says Dr. Mathias
Johansson, CEO of Dirac. "We are excited and proud that Huawei, in the pursuit of high
quality standards, is now adopting this kind of sound technology in their smartphones.
Huawei's move further signifies the increasing consumer demand for a high-quality
smartphone sound experience."

Chinese Online Music Platform Netease Cloud Music: The Chinese Version of Facebook in the Music Sector

Chinese Online Music Platform Netease Cloud Music: The Chinese Version of Facebook in the Music Sector
HANGZHOU, China, Oct. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In recent years, the build-out of the internet infrastructure and the consistent growth of the economy have made mainland China an increasingly important global center for internet development. In the Chinese market, the trend to consume content and do one's shopping online has continued apace, with a slew of innovative and highly acclaimed internet services emerging, among which Netease Cloud Music, a service that was launched more than 3 years ago, serves as an illustrative example for the music sector.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20161029/434034
Netease.com, Inc., one of the leading internet companies in China, was founded almost two decades ago and now has a market value exceeding $US 35 billion. Netease Cloud Music was first released internally in 2013. Netease founder and CEO Ding Lei (who also goes by William Ding) saw the music site as a key component of the larger company and, with Netease Cloud Music founding member and CEO Zhu Yiwen, personally took charge of the project, constantly making changes to the platform until they each felt fully satisfied with the performance and customer experience. Just on the single item of the how quickly - how many revolutions per minute - the image of the vinyl record spun on the play page, they adjusted it more than two dozen times. As a result, the music service quickly garnered a lot of attention among music lovers and became the go-to venue for a large user base since it was launched in April, 2013.
At the outset, the core concept was that the service would be driven by the ability of users to create their own playlists, yet, aside from the basic requirements for searching and listening to music, Netease Cloud Music has since added many social media features, expanding the horizon of what a music site is all about and giving listeners the opportunity to learn about the music and the performers. As a result, the service has built for itself an excellent reputation across the Chinese music industry.
April, 2013, Netease Cloud Music formally went online.
February, 2014, the number of users exceeded 20 million.
August, 2014, the number of users exceeded 40 million.
December, 2014, more than 55 million music lovers were using the platform.
July, 2015, the number of users broke the 100 million mark.
July, 2016, the number of users broke the 200 million mark.
In just three short years, Netease Cloud Music has attracted more than 200 million music lovers, something unprecedented among similar online services in the history of the music industry.
In October, 2016, China's widely-read economic journal CBN Weekly released its "Top Brands Ranking for 2016", and, based on the music service's excellent performance during the year, Netease Cloud Music was selected as one of the "Rising Star Brands". It was the only music application brand in the category.
Compared to older music apps that had been released in China, Netease Cloud Music has become so popular that its fans are active on most major social media networks such as zhihu.com (the Chinese version of Quora.com), the various microblog platforms, Wechat (a free message and phone app, similar to but with more features than Skype) and several BBS's. The level of stickiness that the service has developed with its users, reflected by the number of comments that fans leave on the pages dedicated to the individual songs, is being viewed by music industry insiders as a kind of miracle within the Chinese music market.
The single "A Sunny Day" by renowned Taiwanese pop singer Jay Chou has already garnered more than one million comments on the service. Recently Netease Cloud Music was the first to release the single "Chengdu" by Chinese balladeer Zhao Lei, immediately accumulating a huge number of comments on the service, which were then quickly and widely shared across the social media networks, becoming, in short order, a social phenomenon. Mainstream media across China immediately noticed and gave the "story" wide coverage. Within 24 hours after "Chengdu" was released on Netease Cloud Music, more than 30 thousand comments discussing every finite aspect of the song had been posted, including narrative comments that drew the interest of other users on the platform and magnified the viral effect.
The following is some data relating to this year's performance released by Netease Cloud Music:
1,500 signed singers;
More than 20,000 contract musicians who produce original music;
A music database consisting of more than 10 million legal copies of top quality music;
More than 100 million playlists created by users;
More than 200 million comments.
The rapid development of Netease Cloud Music is undoubtedly attributed to the excellent user experience.
The Netease Cloud Music CEO, Zhu Yiwen, recently said in an interview: user experience should always come first. The CEO has already made it a must that upon arriving at work each morning, he first reads the data report of the previous day, then he searches for "Netease Cloud Music" on the microblog websites and reads the messages left by users to see if there is anything he needs to do once he spots an issue. In a move to provide the users with better services, he has set up a user feedback channel, where nearly 100,000 comments are received daily and a categorization system places the corresponding comments into comment bins based on if it is advice for the app or a complaint about a technical bug, in which case, based on the nature of the complaint, the comment is placed in the bin for the appropriate team. Compared to the usual service procedures at other companies, the CEO, who has a technical background, takes it a lot further: for the sake of efficiency, let the IT staff take over!
The number of internet users in China continues to expand, and they are becoming more demanding when it comes to quality and even aesthetic expectations. This trend is pushing Chinese online services to deliver the best possible product experience. In China, Netease Cloud Music is considered the Facebook of the music sector, not only because of the social atmosphere that the platform has created, but also the expectation that users have for an outstanding product.

The panda bus filled with the cute Pandamen and extremely cool virtual reality devices is like a brand-new Chengdu business card. The successful drive into Germany and Poland has attracted strong attention from the native citizens, tourists, newspapers, television stations, and social media networks.
This is the first time Chengdu VR city advertisement video will make its appearance in middle Europe. Chengdu became the first city to bring cultural communications to middle European countries with VR technology. Chengdu's Pandamen have suddenly become "International Online Celebrity" during the activity period, and occupy the hot search rankings of Facebook, Instagram and other international SNS (Social Networking Services).
This activity wishes for all people to break the boundaries of time and space, and make a special "Intimate Contact" with Chengdu through VR virtual experience. Meanwhile, the enthusiasm and inclusion of Chengdu is also shown to the whole world through a series of thematic displays and roadshow activities. Particularly worth mentioning is the train pattern on the body of the bus, as it symbolizes the "Chengdu-Europe" Rail Express that connects Chengdu and Europe.

1MORE Announces Partnership With High-End Audio Distributor To Bring New Bluetooth® Over-Ear And Active In-Ear Sports Models To Canadian Market
1MORE USA, a consumer audio company and makers of the highly lauded Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones has partnered with high-end audio distributor Nexus International to meet demand in the Canadian market.
SAN DIEGO and TORONTO, Oct. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- 1MORE, a premier consumer electronics audio company, has recently begun selling two new Bluetooth models to the North American market. The new models include the iBFree Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones and the MK802 Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphones. These new headphones will round out an already successful lineup of six in-ear and over-ear headphones. To meet demand for the new products in Canada and expand on the success of their core products, 1MORE has now partnered with Canadian high-end audio distributor, Nexus International. 1MORE will join Nexus International as an exhibitor at the TAVES consumer electronics expo in Toronto, Ontario October 28(th) through October 30(th).
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160715/390104LOGO
After a successful launch of the new products earlier in the year, 1MORE sees this move as necessary to broaden their reach to all parts of the North American market. "With this partnership we now have a seamless, integrated distribution model in North America that includes Canada," says CEO Dave Russell, adding, "This is a win-win for us and our customers, who can now purchase 1MORE products at more convenient locations." "Adding 1MORE to our distribution channels was a no-brainer for us," says Peter Fan of Nexus International, adding, "1MORE's core values of designing high quality, affordable audio products, aligns with our mission to connect consumers with high-end audio manufacturers."
The two new Bluetooth models come at a time when Bluetooth devices are being accepted into everyday life. 1MORE's new models use CRS Bluetooth 4.1 chips with aptX® coding technology, which provides meticulous sound quality and a stable wireless option for consumers who want freedom from wires. Millennials and "Cord-Cutters" are pushing the market towards wireless options, and 1MORE has not only recognized this shift but has responded with new products. The new Bluetooth models will feature all the quality and value 1MORE is known for - only now free of cables. "They're the first Bluetooth headphones I've used where I couldn't tell they were wireless," says VP of Sales Tim Burton, going on to say, "even the talk quality is far superior without the common echo of other Bluetooth headphones."
The new MK802 Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphones feature rare Beryllium drivers for an exceptionally comprehensive sound with a durable, lightweight, and stylish titanium alloy exterior. The MK802s have a "Bass Level," switch on the ear cup for those who want bass highlighted or limited, as well as optional hearing protection to reduce hearing loss and fatigue. In addition, the MK802s can be used with the 1MORE app, which allows you to control hearing protection, assign controllable apps, and more. The MK802s feature controls on the ear-cup including a MEMS microphone for crystal clear calls, all compatible with Apple iOS and Android. Combine this with up to 15 hours of playback time and you have the freedom to take your music anywhere, The MK802 will be available in red and blue and retails for $149.99 USD.
1MORE's iBFree Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones feature extremely lightweight aluminum alloy earpieces with Bluetooth 4.1 aptX coding, oblique angled ergonomic comfort, and titanium dynamic drivers. The iBFree's unique stylish design is also IPX4 rated water-resistant against rain, spills, and sweat. Designed for the active consumer, the iBFrees feature up to 240 hours of standby time and 8 hours of play time, perfect for your run, workout, or other outdoor adventures. The iBFrees also feature in-line controls and a MEMS microphone for crystal clear calls compatible with Apple iOS and Android. The lightweight design, various sized ear tips and sport grips, and adjustable clip ensure a secure fit for rigorous activities. The iBFree will come in vibrant red, space gray, aqua blue, and apple green and retails for only $59.99 USD.
As with their previous line, all three models were expertly tuned by internationally acclaimed Grammy winning Luca Bignardi. 1MORE's commitment to a naturally balanced sound, without the harsh bass and treble boosting prevalent with other brands, produces a fully satisfying listening experience without the need for unhealthy volume levels. "1MORE truly wants you to hear what your favorite artists intended you to hear," says Director of Brand David Kellogg adding, "The goal of any great technology is to disappear so there's nothing between you and your music."
Corporate Trend
1MORE's approach has broken the unspoken rule in the headphone market - that high-quality headphones must be expensive and affordable headphones are poorly designed. 1MORE is challenging the status quo by creating superior quality headphones at surprisingly affordable prices using proprietary patented designs and manufacturing.
Nexus International specializes in connecting high-end audio consumers to high-end audio manufacturers. From this partnership, 1MORE and Nexus International now make up the components for an ongoing successful international team.
The products are available for sale on Amazon, London Drugs, Headphone Bar, and very shortly in Canada Computers.
ABOUT 1MORE USA
1MORE USA, established in August of 2014, was the brainchild of President, Dave Russell, and VP, Tim Burton, who leveraged their knowledge of the consumer technology industry and overseas sourcing experience to partner with 1MORE China. Their combined purpose is to bring 1MORE China's proven successful approach to consumer audio product design and development to the North American market. "Our goal is to occupy a new space in the world's audio market by giving our users quality, affordability, style, and community," says 1MORE China's CEO and Founder, Gary Hsieh. 1MORE China was founded in 2013 by Hsieh, a former Foxconn executive who was instrumental in producing products like the Kindle and iPod. Disillusioned with low-value contract manufacturing, Hsieh wanted to develop a unique brand that would dispel the belief that products made-in-China couldn't be of both excellent quality and value. From this idea 1MORE was born.
ABOUT NEXUS INTERNATIONAL
Nexus International Inc. is a Markham, Ontario, Canada based company that distributes products targeting the high-end audio market. The company targets this market through the sale of products including high resolution personal portable digital music players, portable headphone amplifiers, DACs, portable speakers, headphones all aimed towards the audiophile market, as well as other rendering devices and sells a selection of related connectivity solutions. Nexus acts as a distributor of several high-end lines and sells through a direct sales force to traditional brick and mortal stores, both chain and independents, as well as online resellers. Using this path Nexus can sell their high-end audio lines across Canada and reach the most potential customers. Founded by experienced players within the high-end audio industry, Nexus only carries product lines that they know to be high quality items, and through this industry expertise only offers the best products to their customers.

As with their previous line, all three models were expertly tuned by internationally acclaimed Grammy winning Luca Bignardi. 1MORE's commitment to a naturally balanced sound, without the harsh bass and treble boosting prevalent with other brands, produces a fully satisfying listening experience without the need for unhealthy volume levels. "1MORE truly wants you to hear what your favorite artists intended you to hear," says Director of Brand David Kellogg adding, "The goal of any great technology is to disappear so there's nothing between you and your music."
Corporate Trend
1MORE's approach has broken the unspoken rule in the headphone market - that high-quality headphones must be expensive and affordable headphones are poorly designed. 1MORE is challenging the status quo by creating superior quality headphones at surprisingly affordable prices using proprietary patented designs and manufacturing.
Nexus International specializes in connecting high-end audio consumers to high-end audio manufacturers. From this partnership, 1MORE and Nexus International now make up the components for an ongoing successful international team.
The products are available for sale on Amazon, London Drugs, Headphone Bar, and very shortly in Canada Computers.
ABOUT 1MORE USA
1MORE USA, established in August of 2014, was the brainchild of President, Dave Russell, and VP, Tim Burton, who leveraged their knowledge of the consumer technology industry and overseas sourcing experience to partner with 1MORE China. Their combined purpose is to bring 1MORE China's proven successful approach to consumer audio product design and development to the North American market. "Our goal is to occupy a new space in the world's audio market by giving our users quality, affordability, style, and community," says 1MORE China's CEO and Founder, Gary Hsieh. 1MORE China was founded in 2013 by Hsieh, a former Foxconn executive who was instrumental in producing products like the Kindle and iPod. Disillusioned with low-value contract manufacturing, Hsieh wanted to develop a unique brand that would dispel the belief that products made-in-China couldn't be of both excellent quality and value. From this idea 1MORE was born.
