CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --VirZOOM, maker of VirZOOM Arcade VR exercise games designed by award-winning game development veterans and the exercise bike-based VR motion controller, today launched the VirZOOM PC Gamepad Emulator.

"VirZOOM is pleased to expand its suite of VR exercise games through the VirZOOM gamepad emulator. "VirZOOM customers can play their favorite motion intensive game VR titles and get fit doing it," said Co-founder and CEO Eric Janszen. "By sharing their VR game emulator files on Steam, VirZOOM customers crowd source a growing library of 3(rd) party VirZOOM titles. Over time hundreds of VR titles can be available to VirZOOM customers via the emulator."

"The emulator allows you to map all the sensors of the VZ bike, including accurate speed sensing, 10 buttons, and lean information from your VR headset into joystick and keyboard inputs to drive your favorite VR and video games," said VirZOOM Co-founder and CTO Eric Malafeew.

The proprietary hardware and software VirZOOM VR Exercise Game Platform makes fitness equipment fun by harnessing the emotional power of VR to motivate physical responses that result in exercise. Patent-pending motion controls limit locomotion discomfort even in VR games that entail sharp turns, flight, and other challenging forms of VR motion. The addition of the gamepad emulator expands the range of content VirZOOM customers can use on the VirZOOM bike. 

VirZOOM's AAA development team creates specialized VR exercise games that ship with the VZ Controller. In the games you power a tank in battle, a Pegasus though a Canyon, or an Apache helicopter in a firefight, among six games that will now ship with the VZ Controller. The VZ SDK lets 3(rd) party developers modify existing VR games and create entirely new VZ-enabled games. Motion controls embodied in the SDK free VR game developers to create game designs that cannot be accomplished without them.  The SDK enabled a range of motion forms that commonly cause locomotion discomfort.

The company shipped early access VirZOOM product in June via web site pre-orders for $399.95 and plans to launch via retail channels on November 1(st), 2016. The company is also engaged in ongoing discussions with potential OEM partners to deliver a range of fitness and gaming applications for its VR Exercise Game Platform.

About VirZOOM
Co-founded by CEO Eric Janszen and CTO Eric Malafeew in February 2015 and headquartered in Cambridge, MA. VirZOOM is compatible with Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PlaystationVR headsets (headset sold separately). It is currently available for order for $399.95 per unit at virzoom.com.

HELSINKI and PALO ALTO, California, September 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Today, Beddit(R), the leader in ambient sleep tracking to solve sleep, is announcing
the Beddit 3 Sleep Tracker(TM) at Health 2.0 in Santa Clara, California.

    Sleep is a pillar of health and the bedrock of life. And yet millions wake up
exhausted every morning.

    http://www.multivu.com/players/uk/7934551-beddit-3-sleep-tracker-health-2

    Going beyond just tracking sleep, the new Beddit 3 Sleep Tracker answers the question
of why one sleeps well or why not. Connecting personal habits, activities, and feelings to
all aspects of sleep quality, the Beddit 3 Sleep Tracker helps people develop habits for
good sleep.

    Uniquely loaded with data, features, and integrations, the Beddit 3 Sleep Tracker
enables access to a vast network of professional expertise and services. It's the first
dedicated sleep tracker integrated with eClinicalWorks and Healow, America's largest
Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) service with more than 115,000 physicians across all 50
states. Furthermore, the Beddit Sleep Report provides a unique 2-week summary of sleep,
recovery, and breathing to connect experts with consumers. Integration with Apple Health

unnoticeable when placed under the sheet atop the mattress. No charging or battery is
needed. It works with all beds and tracks only the person sleeping on the sensor, even

New Ricoh high-speed production printer brings users new levels of substrate flexibility, book-printing options

New High Capacity Interposer tray helps incorporate book and manual applications, pairs with powerful media-handling capabilities

ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- GRAPH EXPO 16, Booth #2035 -- Ricoh USA, Inc. today unveiled the RICOH Pro 8220s series, its latest high-speed black and white digital print platform series. Today's production print environments, especially those focused on book printing, benefit from and often require flexibility. The need to meet fast turn times and shifting deadlines, and have the ability to print on thick and coated media for attractive color inserts to illustrate key points, can help printers find the capacity to take on new jobs quickly and efficiently.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140718/128670

The RICOH Pro 8220s series addresses these needs by offering tight registration and a new High Capacity Interposer (HCI). The HCI is a two-tray system with 1,750-sheet-per-tray capacity for post-fusing insertion of front and back covers or color inserts, printed on offset or digital printers, into books and manuals. The RICOH Pro 8220s series also offers users tight registration to help ensure more precise, clean output and delivers the ability to print on a wide variety of substrates without sacrificing speed or quality. 

"Production print operations are defined by what they produce, their ability to meet deadlines and fulfill job requirements," said John Fulena, Vice President, Production Printing Business Group, Ricoh USA, Inc. "The RICOH Pro 8220s series empowers printers to produce a wide variety of applications very quickly and efficiently by eliminating manual steps, making scanning quick and simple and making adding covers and inserts swift and hands-off. This is a device for the future of high-speed production."

Aside from high print (96 to 136 ppm) and scan speeds on 8.27 x 11.69 inches (120 ipm simplex, 220 ipm duplex), the HCI automatically adds covers and inserts within jobs, saving significant time and labor investments.

MEMOHI to Launch New Smart Home TV Device MEMOBOX "UFO" Worldwide

Unbox a New Vision

HONG KONG, Sept. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- MEMOHI is set to launch its breakthrough smart home TV entertainment device MEMOBOX "UFO" worldwide on September 27, 2016, integrating entertainment, interaction and innovation for the first time.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160923/411220

To "Unbox a New Vision", the device provides users a fresh take on design, software and the way content is presented.

MEMOBOX UFO adapts to major TV devices and internet hardware in Europe and the United States and enables viewers to easily switch between online and televised content. It also enhances resolution, fluency and compatibility so that users can enjoy new media content quality on the big screen.

MEMOHI has embedded its self-developed Android-based software system into UFO, and by applying a completely new design frame, this software system is able to integrate various kinds of online information, allowing users to choose the shows they prefer.

"MEMOHI upholds the ideal of being 'Motivated, Efficient, Modest and Open-minded', said Frodo Rao, the company's founder. "MEMOBOX UFO, as our very first self-developed product, is a typical representation of these core values."

Rao continued, "The home internet experience across the world is undergoing something of an upgrade as TVs and similar devices are becoming more 'intelligent'. We found our consumers' views on traditional "TV watching" are now changing; they now expect companies to use more initiative and they want to obtain a substantial amount of new media online via streaming."

"UFO is designed as a bridge connecting traditional TV programs and new media, and therefore meets such needs."

In the wake of the UFO launch, MEMOHI will keep exploring customer needs in the context of developing optimized products accordingly, with the ultimate aim of providing a wide range of bigger screen experiences to all viewers through outstanding products and constant upgrading of high-tech home entertainment services.

Tektronix Boosts Video QoE Monitoring Scalability, Efficiency and Reliability

New Addition to Sentry's Lineup Offers Video Service Providers a 3X Improvement in Performance and Density for IP Monitoring Solutions

BEAVERTON, Ore., Sept. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Tektronix, Inc., an industry-leading innovator of video test and monitoring solutions, today announced the introduction of a new high performance hardware platform for its Sentry video and audio quality monitoring solution.  This new platform triples the capacity for performing PVQ measurements for H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) and doubles the capacity for QOE in a 1RU platform. Video service providers (VSPs) can dramatically reduce rack space, power and ports which translate to improved efficiency and lower costs of ownership. 

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160125/325847LOGO

Facing competition from all directions, VSPs must deliver a high QoE to subscribers or risk increased customer churn. Proactively detecting QoE problems and remedying them before the customer is impacted or the call center is contacted is critical to maintaining customer satisfaction and reducing operational costs. Tektronix Sentry products meet this need with a highly scalable monitoring system that alerts VSPs to viewer impacting issues and lapses or breaches in regulatory compliance requirements. Sentry does this in real time for up to 500 channels simultaneously. 

With the latest release, Sentry is now available on a premium platform that benefits from hardware enhancements including redundant power supplies and a new operating system. This new version of Sentry offers more interfaces, enables QoE monitoring at 2x the rate of the current platform and supports H.264 or H.265 perceptual video quality (PVQ) monitoring at 3x the rate of the current platform.

"Understanding and measuring the quality of video being provided to viewers is a key differentiator for many VSPs and cable operators," said Charlie Dunn, general manager, Video Product Line, Tektronix. "Doing this efficiently when complex encoders such as H.264 and H.265 are being used is extremely compute intensive. With the latest enhancements to Sentry, we're reducing this burden to make delivering superior QoE considerably easier and more affordable."

For many VSPs, rack space can be an expensive and oversubscribed asset in head ends and operational centers. Being able to monitor content in less rack space reduces the pressure on this asset. With its improved performance, the premium Sentry platform also reduces power consumption while clearing up space for other operational equipment.

Availability
The new Sentry Premium model will be available in late October, 2016.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140718/128670

Ricoh's booth showcases best-in-class technologies and expert consultants that work to open new worlds to customers, helping implement, integrate and improve customers' solutions, and bottom lines. At a time when the print industry is rapidly changing, Ricoh continues to work closely with customers to grow their businesses now and into the future, leveraging superior people, processes and technology.

"While GRAPH EXPO may be in a different location this year, Ricoh's commitment to opening new possibilities for our customers remains the same," said John Fulena, Vice President, Production Printing Business Group, Ricoh USA, Inc. "Our market leadership continues to grow, our portfolio continues to expand to address new market trends and our value add to our customers continues to be evident. That last statement is exemplified by the fact that GAM, MGX Copy and VISOgraphic -  three impressive printing companies who spoke on our behalf at GRAPH EXPO 15 - have all expanded their product line with Ricoh, and we remain dedicated to helping them, and our full roster of customers see continued business growth."

Innovations showcased at the booth (#2035) include:

    --  RICOH Pro 8220s is a series of monochrome production printers and
        multifunction printers (MFPs) that leverage a new, tighter registration
        and High Capacity Interposer (HCI) to give a boost to book printers. The
        HCI is a two-tray system with 2,000-sheet-per-tray capacity for
        post-fusing insertion of front and back covers or color inserts, printed
        on offset or digital printers, into books or manuals, significantly
        streamlining workflows to reduce time and labor costs, as well as
        errors.
    --  RICOH Pro C9100 is a high-speed, heavy segment production color digital
        printer that prints up to 110 ppm and supports paper weights of up to
        400 gsm in simplex and duplex, enabling fast turns even on historically
        difficult substrates.
    --  RICOH Pro C7100X is a high-speed production cutsheet digital printer
        with a 5(th) color station for white, clear and neon yellow toner,
        helping to expand color gamut, substrate options and creative
        capabilities.
    --  RICOH Pro VC60000 is the latest-generation continuous feed inkjet
        printer that enables users to quickly deliver eye-catching, targeted,
        and critical output to their customers. While not in the booth "in
        person," a video station will highlight how the device streamlines
        operations for fewer steps, more savings and more efficiency in
        producing high-quality commercial print applications.
    --  RICOH Pro L4160 is a roll-fed wide format color printer that leverages
        an intuitive interface and customizable presets to make even complex
        jobs, and especially repeat jobs, a snap. The RICOH Pro L4160 is a great
        entry point for cutsheet commercial printers looking to branch out into
        the wide format space, a major trend this year.
    --  Ricoh Consulting Group is a team of production print experts who
        leverage practical, real-world experience to deliver professional
        services via a practice-based approach focused on specific production
        areas including color management, workflow automation and strategic
        business systems consulting. Additionally, Ricoh boasts more than one
        thousand service techs around the country with a 100 percent production
        focus.
    --  RICOH TotalFlow product suite 4.1 builds on past successes driving
        efficiencies and improving profitability through intelligent adjustments
        in workflow, monitoring and management capabilities. Additionally, the
        suite enables newer, more precise controls for color and black-and-white
        pages, helping handle both within a job separately and seamlessly,
        automatically merging them after the fact, dramatically decreasing
        overall cost without increasing complexity.
On Sunday, September 25(th), attendees at GRAPH EXPO heard from Ricoh customer Lawrence Chou, CEO of MGX Copy as he discussed millennial management.

Next-Gen Streaming Platform Capitalizes on the Rise of Competitive eSports

Award-winning development team launches dedicated web application that blends the popular Twitch streaming platform with conventional media feeds.

TORONTO, Sept. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- A group of award-winning web developers, designers, and gaming industry veterans have launched a standalone streaming application that capitalizes on the massively popular Twitch streaming platform, which was acquired by Amazon in August of 2014 for $970 million.

"With the explosive growth and increasing mainstream awareness of competitive gaming, building the Overcharge platform has not only been a passion project, but a business venture that we expect to pay dividends over the next 5 years," said founder Stew Houston, who is an ex-professional Counter-Strike player and former CTO of nutrition coaching service Precision Nutrition. "eSports tournaments are now selling out major stadiums, attracting over 10,000 attendees for major events, and online viewership is quickly rivaling that of conventional sports. The League of Legends Championship Series, for example, peaked at over 14 million concurrent viewers on Twitch alone."

The Overcharge platform is the next logical step in the growth of the Twitch platform, which is currently contentiously divided between those who play games casually and those who consider themselves 'digital athletes.' The overcharge.tv application, which currently runs in modern web browsers but will soon be available as a native desktop application for both Windows 10 and OS X, acts as a centralized hub for both watching live events and comprehensive community engagement. Built on top of Google's web infrastructure, the application has been engineered to match the scale and sheer traffic garnered by current and future eSports viewership.

About Overcharge.tv

Overcharge is an eSports streaming and content aggregation platform developed in Toronto, Canada. It blends Twitch, Reddit, YouTube and Twitter into one clean interface and was designed by an award-winning development team. Overcharge.tv was featured by Dvsion eSports as one of the best eSports applications of 2016, and has been recognized by numerous organizations for its thorough understanding of both progressive web technologies and the competitive gaming landscape.

Quantum Provides Petascale Data Storage and Management for Major European Research Institutions

Multi-Tier Storage Platform Enables Scientists to Preserve, Access and Leverage Valuable Data More Quickly, Easily and Cost-Effectively

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM) today announced that two of Europe's premier research institutions are using the company's StorNext(®) workflow storage as the foundation for managing their growing data and enabling a range of scientific initiatives. GWDG -- the computing center for the University of Göttingen and computing and IT competence center for the Max Planck Society -- deployed StorNext-powered disk and tape systems in a multi-tier solution to meet its performance and access requirements for 7PB of data. Separately, the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry also turned to Quantum for an end-to-end storage and archive solution that would support greater collaboration and continuous access to an ever-expanding volume of data.

Max Planck protects and archives vital research data to provide continuous data access with @StorNext http://qntm.co/2aeSOh2

GWDG manages billions of files and petascale data across multiple tiers, in a single file system http://qntm.co/2crD6yU

Providing High-Performance Shared Access and a Massive Archive for GWDG Data
GWDG supports more than 40,000 users and needed a high-performance storage system that could handle billions of files and -- with data volumes nearly doubling annually -- scale to meet rapidly rising demand. In addition, the storage platform had to support a multi-tier storage environment, including making 2.5PB of data on disk and 4.5PB on tape accessible from a single file system.

StorNext has met all these scale, performance and access requirements. Today it enables the center's IT group to support users across a range of operating systems and manage a large and growing data archive without hiring extra staff or diverting people from other projects. As just one example of the benefits Quantum has delivered, GWDG provides the center's High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster with shared access to data from the StorNext environment at speeds far above its requirements. The IT group installed StorNext distributed LAN clients on HPC nodes for access over Ethernet, generating speeds of 3.2GB/second, compared to the 2GB/second performance HPC users had requested. As a result, these users can move large amounts of data into the cluster for processing and out again for long-term storage.

Enabling Simultaneous Data Access and Integrated Protection at Max Planck Institute for Chemistry
The Max Planck Institute for Chemistry explores the chemical processes in the atmosphere and the interaction between air, water, earth and man, producing huge volumes of raw data. One research project involving the study of climate change in the Brazilian rainforest includes measurement devices collecting up to 80GB of data daily. The data is then transported to a data center in Germany, where it is processed and made available to researchers around the world.

Faced with skyrocketing data growth from initiatives such as this, the need to provide simultaneous data access to multiple researchers, and a data backup system that couldn't keep up, the Institute worked with microstaxx -- a leading system integrator to identify a solution -- and selected StorNext.

Today the data management platform provides the performance needed to support multiple parallel streams of data, the ability to scale rapidly and easily as new projects are launched and the simultaneous data access that helps drive greater productivity. By delivering robust performance, capacity and support for a full range of client operating systems (including Linux, UNIX, Windows and Mac), StorNext has also reduced the need for teams to acquire and maintain their own storage environments.

In addition, the Institute has benefitted from the integrated data protection StorNext provides. Leveraging multi-tier data management and a Quantum Scalar i6000 tape library, Max Planck can protect research data automatically and continuously in the background. Quantum's Active Vault feature enables archiving of tapes inside the library instead of on a shelf, thereby minimizing costs and cartridge handling while improving security and access to vaulted content. At the same time, Quantum's policy-driven Extended Data Life Management helps prevent data loss by periodically checking the data on a tape and copying it to a new tape if a problem is detected.

Supporting Quotes

Dr. Philipp Wieder, Deputy Head, GWDG
"In our experience, StorNext is the only platform that can handle the number of files and amount of data we manage while also delivering high performance. StorNext has met our needs even as our workflows have become more demanding and our environment has evolved."

Thomas Disper, CISO and Head of IT, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry
"With the StorNext platform, we have removed barriers to research. It allows us to provide a lot more capacity quickly and easily. We don't need to give research teams data limits, and storage for new projects can be ready in an afternoon."

Trimble Launches New Portfolio of Wireless IoT Sensors for Water Monitoring

Battery-Powered Sensors Leverage LoRa Wireless Technology for Low-Power, Long-Range Communications

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) introduced today its Telog® 41 Series of wireless, battery-powered sensors for water monitoring applications. These new Internet of Things (IoT) sensors use innovative, low-power, Long-Range (LoRa® technology) wireless communications to remotely measure and monitor water, wastewater and groundwater systems including water pressures, flows, levels and rainfall volumes.

As part of a smart water infrastructure, the Telog 41 Series wireless sensors work in combination with Telog cloud-hosted and on-premise software to allow utilities to more easily and economically deploy wireless monitoring. The sensors extend across a utilities existing monitoring programs for better tracking, measurement and reporting of water usage, sanitary and combined-sewer overflows (CSO/SSO) and flooding, leakage and non-revenue water (NRW). The sensors can be deployed to enable utilities to address many of the significant challenges they are facing due to drought and water shortages, storm events and flooding, budget constraints and environmental regulations.

The announcement was made at the 2016 Water Environment Federation Technical Exhibition and Conference (WEFTEC).

LoRa for Smart Water IoT Applications

The Telog 41 Series sensors leverage LoRa technology to operate on LoRaWAN(TM) wireless networks that are being deployed globally to support a variety of IoT and smart cities applications. LoRaWAN is a Low-Power, Wide Area Network (LPWAN) specification intended for wireless, battery-operated sensors or "Things" in regional, national or global networks. The LoRaWAN wireless specification enables seamless interoperability among IoT sensors without the need for complex local installations to enable the rollout of IoT applications such as the monitoring of water pressures, water levels, rainfall and metered flow volumes. It has been adopted by network providers across the U.S., Europe and Asia.

"The IoT for water enables a step change in operational efficiency, compliance and sustainability for the water industry," said Adrian Newcombe, business director of Trimble's Telog solutions. "With the Telog 41 Series of IoT sensors, utilities now have the ability to monitor areas of their network that would have been cost prohibitive to reach in the past. And with the ability to wirelessly report data at resolutions down to five minute intervals, water managers have much deeper visibility into their operations. This is essential for enabling utilities to transform how they operate their distribution and collection networks."

Telog 41 Series Solutions

The Telog 41 Series includes five new wireless IoT sensors that monitor key measurements of water, wastewater and groundwater systems, including water system pressures, levels, flow and rainfall. The sensors communicate the data using LoRaWAN technology to Telog software at intervals between five minutes and 24 hours. Using Telog cloud-hosted or on-premise software, utilities have full access to Telog 41 Series monitoring data, including alerts and alarms and advanced analytics and reporting.

The Telog 41 Series include:

    --  Pressure Monitoring: The Telog PR-41 Pressure Recorder provides
        utilities with visibility of their water system pressures ensuring that
        they can operate the network to meet customer needs, regulatory
        requirements and manage NRW.
    --  Level Monitoring: The Telog WL-41 Level Recorder allows utilities to
        monitor water levels of underground aquifers, reservoirs and water
        towers, ensuring that they have a real-time view of the water resources
        available and stored within their network.
    --  Flow Monitoring: The Telog MTU-41 Meter Telemetry Unit enables utilities
        to monitor water flows in their system by collecting the values from a
        flow meter register and reporting the computed interval flow volume. The
        Telog MTU-41 ensures that the utility has an up to date view of flows,
        while improving efficiencies with the elimination of manual reads.
    --  Pulse/Event Monitoring: The Telog PE-41 Pulse Event Recorder enables the
        monitoring of meter devices such as flow meters within the network. By
        retrofitting the Telog PE-41 to existing mechanical meters (e.g. flow
        meters) in the network, the utility can gain near real-time data on
        parameters such as flow that were not previously possible, while driving
        efficiencies by removing the need for manual reads.
    --  Rainfall Monitoring: The Telog RG-41 Rain Gauge allows utilities to
        continuously gather data on rainfall within their service area. The
        Telog RG-41 monitors the output of a tipping bucket rain gauge and
        reports the rainfall intensity so utilities can understand the intensity
        and distribution of rainfall and its potential impact on their network.
Key common features of the Telog 41 Series remote monitoring sensors include:

    --  Low cost relative to traditional cellular remote monitoring products,
        allowing utilities to deploy sensors in higher numbers and to distribute
        them throughout their distribution and collection networks
    --  LoRaWAN IoT wireless technology ensuring that sensors call in at high
        frequency while still retaining long battery life (four to seven years)
    --  Configurable alerts and alarms for automated event detection and
        reporting
    --  Powered by a single, user-replaceable C-size lithium battery; no need
        for on-site power and simple to maintain
    --  Small size, rugged and easy to install
    --  Compatible with Telog cloud-hosted and on-premise software
For more information on the Telog 41 Series and other hardware and software solutions for smart water monitoring, see:  http://www.telog.com/Products/LoRaWAN.aspx.

Availability

The Telog 41 Series is expected to be available in the fourth quarter 2016 from Trimble's Telog Authorized Partners and Distributors.

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading intelligent sports drone producer, Shenzhen-based FLYPRO Aerospace Tech Co., Ltd., on the 23(rd) of September, launched a new model drone, the XJaguar, alleged to be the most "extreme sports" professional low-profile racing drone available on the market to date. The XJaguar is the only exclusive professional racing model customized for first-person-view (FPV) players and racing drone professionals. Equipped with the 8-in-1 tower structure patented technology that FLYPRO originated, the very "extreme sports" XJaguar has also adopted a full array of competition-level equipment and embedded some key electronic features including, among others, an electronic speed controller, a pilot control board and a video transmitter.

With a $US 1 million prize in the offing and a plethora of breathtaking FPV racing videos on YouTube, World Drone Prix 2016 Dubai has attracted professional pilots from all over the world. Drone racing is a relatively new sport, however, it is proving to be quite a bit more entertaining, and to have a more promising market, than drone photography. The Paris Drone Festival held on the iconic Avenue des Champs-Élysées this September has brought the interest in drone racing to a new climax. Drone-related events are being held every month all over the world, with mainstream TV networks such as ESPN showing active interest and involvement. Drone racing is quickly becoming a recognized competitive sport.

So far most players are do-it-yourselfers and assemble their first racing drone (many call it a "flyover") from a kit, giving rise to compatibility problems among the myriad brands, especially around the complex wiring and the excessive number of soldering points. All one can fine across the rapidly growing racing drone market are entry-level complete products, yet, to date, not a single competition-oriented professional racing drone. In Shenzhen, "the capital of drones", with its multitude of drone producers and the broad and promising market that they can look forward to, it is not a surprise that some of these manufacturers have already put in place a well-thought out roadmap for market entry and expansion.

FLYPRO XJaguar has adopted a red and black design for a clean-cut appearance without externally exposing the 4 electronic speed controllers and the complicated wiring. An aluminum alloy jaguar head adds another level of uniqueness to the design.

Due to its pioneering innovation in technology, the application of the 8-in-1 tower structure patented technology, the highly integrated 4-in-1 electronic speed controller and the video transmitter with OSD (on screen display), the drone has avoided the complex wiring that hobbles many of the existing drones, and succeeded in delivering a light and clean appearance, a centralized barycenter, flexible turning ability and higher flying efficiency.

These are the elements that have placed the XJaguar into the extreme sports category:

    --  A well-configured dynamic power system with parameter optimization.
    --  Adoption of the same 2205 motor, as used by Luke Bannister, the first
        World Drone Prix Champion in Dubai. This 5045 tri-bladed propeller
        model, with single motor traction force reaching 1300g and a 10:1 whole
        body thrust-weight ratio, is by far the most mainstreamed high-end,
        high-powered motor.
    --  America's ROC competition battery with an amazing discharge rate of 100C
        (most batteries on the market top out at 75C) has assured the
        high-powered drone a stronger driving force as well as a longer period
        of uninterrupted flight.
    --  Based on drone racks deployed at the World Drone Prix in Dubai, the
        Asian Cup and other competitions, the X-shaped rack has more advantages
        than H-shaped ones in racing competitions and air performance as it is
        smaller, lighter and more flexible in terms of direction control.
The XJaguar retails at 1799 yuan, an extraordinary price point in terms of cost performance when compared with an assembled drone with the same level of equipment, something that would cost more than 3000 yuan. The core part, the Tower, retails at 799 yuan, is a better choice for do-it-yourselfers who prefer to assemble their own.

The reason that racing drones have gone viral worldwide in such a short time, just as F1 equation racing once did, is because of the ultimate experience and entertainment value that the FPV, the track competition, the high-speed flight and the group participation has delivered to players as well as to audiences.

FLYPRO, in a move to further promote the development of the racing drone industry and to encourage the development of a racing drone culture, has formally started a program to groom future champions and to double the amount of available prize money by working with worldwide drone racing competitions including 3DXAsia Pacific 2016 and the 2016 World Drone Racing Championships at Kualoa Ranch, Hawaii.

Canon Announces Version 5 of PRISMAsync Print Servers with New Color Editing and Control Capabilities, Mobile Remote Alerting and Embedded Workflow Connectivity

MELVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today released PRISMAsync Print Server Version 5. This new version provides additional color correction features and workflow integration capabilities that can help improve the productivity of a printing operation so they can continue to be a strong player in a competitive deadline-driven market.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160119/323578LOGO

Building upon the success of the PRISMAsync Print Server V4.1, which was designated as the industry's first digital front end-embedded G7® Certified System, the PRISMAsync Print Server Version 5 features a vastly extended, robust set of tools for identifying color issues and helping users produce their preferred color response to satisfy demanding quality critics. Out-of-the-box G7 calibration, an embedded color profiler and expert color optimization can lead to significant time and waste savings in daily operation and make PRISMAsync a powerful and flexible color print server for a wide range of critical digital color applications.

PRISMAsync Print Server V5 aims to streamline production for both, document and transaction printing, by providing an intuitive and uniform workflow. Operators can easily manage and run jobs through multiple PRISMAsync-driven presses and print floor managers can enjoy remote management and monitoring as a standard. Version 5 can enable an even more flexible integration of PRISMAsync-driven digital presses into existing workflows such as Agfa: Apogee, with new embedded JDF/JMF workflow connectivity capabilities.

"User feedback from the most diverse operations and the growth trend in digital color production are important drivers for the continuous development of the PRISMAsync family of print servers," said Toyotsugu Kuwamura, executive vice president and general manager, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "Its design concept is that of intuitive, productivity-driven and flexible user interaction to help a broad range of users from novice to highly experienced experts master their daily print production tasks in a highly efficient way."

"Daily, our team serves color-critical customers such as renowned creative firms, photographers and model agencies. PRISMAsync is the structured yet flexible and simple-to-operate digital front end we were looking for to meet their needs," said Brian Boyajian, manager, Digital Print Group at New York-based Duggal Visual Solutions and one of the first users of PRISMAsync V5. "The extended color controls and immediate visual feedback of the new PRISMAsync version 5 enable us to produce the desired output faster to meet the time-sensitive needs of our most demanding customers."

The key features of PRISMAsync Print Server V5.1 include:

    --  Realistic Preview -   Designed to help limit errors and improve
        consistency of output, the PRISMAsync Print Server V5.1 provides an
        accurate preview of the actual job content to be printed, selected
        positioning and finishing details, aiming to reduce the number of needed
        proof-prints.
    --  Digital Moiré Reduction - Innovative new technology is designed to
        deliver enhanced print quality by reducing Moiré patterns, undesired
        digital artifacts, while preserving the original image quality - with
        typical PRISMAsync user convenience.
    --  Pixel Precise Preview - To further analyze jobs that had undesired print
        outputs, PRISMAsync Print Server V5.1 enables the operator to check the
        job in great detail, including viewing of what CMYK the RIP produces
        based on the input file, job settings and system settings.
    --  Visual Feedback for CMYK Editing - With the PRISMAsync Print Server
        V5.1, this feature is available from the user interface as well as from
        PRISMAsync Remote Manager, allowing corrections to be made with
        immediate feedback in the realistic preview.
    --  PRISMAsync Remote Control([1]) - With Remote Control, operators are able
        to receive preventive and emergency notifications from the printer on a
        compatible smart phone (e.g. engine stop, when to load which media,
        empty output tray). This enables operators to plan ahead, act in time
        upon events and, in the end, reduce idle time of the printers.
    --  Configurable User Interface - Roles and responsibilities vary per
        operation. PRISMAsync now enables system administrators to disable
        editing capabilities from the press console as well as to define the
        roles and access rights to PRISMAsync functionality per role to help
        match their operation's workflow.
    --  Integrated JDF/JMF Interface - For an increased application latitude and
        productivity by connecting to existing customer workflows, PRISMAsync
        Version 5 now offers a CIP4-compliant JDF/JMF interface for JDF/JMF
        version 1.3 that has been certified by PIA.
PRISMAsync Print Servers are key components of the PRISMA Suite, Canon's integrated suite of workflow essentials for production print. Designed to optimize the print production workflow from job submission to completion; enabling users to adapt, evolve and grow within ever-changing production print environments.

Availability

PRISMAsync Print Server V5.1 will be available to ship in October 2016 through Canon Authorized Dealers and Canon Solutions America for the new imagePRESS C850/C750 and later in the fourth quarter of 2016 for the imagePRESS C10000VP/C8000VP digital color production presses. Expected availability for other PRISMAsync-driven digital presses including Océ VarioPrint i300, Océ VarioPrint 6000+ Series and the varioPRINT DP Line is 2017.

Canon will also offer upgrades to the new version for select PRISMAsync-driven models in the field, which will be rolled out in phases. Prices are set by dealers and may vary.

Samsung Spin-off Innomdle Lab to Launch "Sgnl", the Watch Strap that Lets You Make Phone Calls with Your Fingertip

Sgnl debuts at 2016 IFA after Kickstarter campaign raises USD1 million

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- K-ICT Born2Global Centre (Born2Global), a major Korean government agency under the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP), announced on Sept. 23 that Innomdle Lab, a member of Born2Global would begin mass producing its independently developed "Sgnl" by the end of the year.

Sgnl is a watch strap that allows the user to talk on their cellphone simply by pressing their fingertip to their ear. Sgnl's key technology lies in its patented Body Conduction Unit (BCU), which is capable of transmitting vibrations through the body, which then can be converted to sound. Sgnl communicates with the user's phone through Bluetooth, and when a voice signal is received, Sgnl will generate vibrations through its BCU. These vibrations will be sent through the users' hand to their fingertip. When users place their fingertip to their ear, the vibration echoes to create amplified sound within the closed space of their ear and they can speak through the microphone embedded in the Sgnl strap.

As of Sept. 23, Sgnl had already exceeded its original Kickstarter (http://kck.st/2c0hGcW) goal twentyfold, amassing $1,000,000 indicating the product's innovativeness has been widely recognized. Innomdle Lab is continuing crowdfunding with Sgnl at Kickstarter until Oct. 8.

Last month, Innomdle Lab displayed Sgnl at the 2016 IFA, Europe's largest home appliance expo, where it received a great deal of attention from global companies. With just one year having passed since its inception, the company is now pursuing an omnidirectional approach to both online and offline global marketing.

Designed in the format of a watch strap, Sgnl can be used not only for smartwatches including Samsung Gear, Apple Watch or Pebble Time, but also regular and classic watches. Sgnl is designed to fit all 18-24mm standard watch lugs. It will feature alarm and health care functions as well.

About Innomdle Lab

Sgnl is the brainchild of Innomdle Lab, the first company ever to officially spin off from Samsung Electronics. Pronounced 'i-nom-dul', it means 'dudes' or 'guys' in Korean with an added nuance of friendliness and intimacy. It also stands for 'Innovation Medley', which conveys the team's ambition for the endless pursuit of innovation through resolving daily discomfort with ground-breaking technology.
