Microsemi Announces New Thermally Improved Chip Scale Atomic Clock Devices with Full Operating and Storage Temperature
High-Reliability Products Enable Key Applications in Defense, Underwater Geophysical Survey and Scientific Markets
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Sept. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, today announced its new thermally improved Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC) components with full operating and storage temperature. The new devices offer the lowest power holdover atomic clock technology without compromising size, weight and power (SWaP) while operating at a wide temperature range.

With an operating temperature range of -10 to 70 degrees Celsius, Microsemi's new CSAC components are highly reliable, with improved product design, process enhancements and robust product verification/validation. The revolutionary technology enables new applications and missions not possible in the past with traditional OCXO and Rubidium clocks, offering the lowest SWaP clock technology in the industry at 17 cubic centimeters (cc) in size, 35g of weight and only 120 milliwatts of power. Microsemi's CSAC product offers ±5.0E-11 accuracy at shipment and a typical <= 9.0E-10/month aging rate, which makes it suitable for many low power atomic clock holdover applications.
"The enhancements to our CSAC product offering focus on providing the highest reliability without compromising performance for our customers, particularly in mission critical applications where every milliwatt matters," said Ramki Ramakrishnan, director of product line management, at Microsemi. "These devices utilize an innovative approach to the component level atomic clock that will help Microsemi access the entire oscillator industry, along with Miniature Atomic Clocks (MAC), and capitalize on the revenue growth potential within the defense, communications, industrial and Test & Measurement (T&M) markets."
According to the "Crystal Oscillator Market--Global Forecast & Analysts" report posted by Markets & Markets, the total available market (TAM) for the overall oscillator market is estimated to be $2.4 billion in 2016, with OCXO markets targeted by CSAC estimated to have a serviceable addressable market (SAM) of $260 million in 2016.
Microsemi's thermally improved CSAC products support the company's strategic presence in the defense and security markets, targeting applications such as low power holdover against GPS vulnerabilities for position, navigation and timing security. They are also suitable for holdover in underwater (ocean bottom nodal) applications and atomic frequency reference in T&M market applications.
"Leveraging the unique attributes of Microsemi's CSAC technology, our company is able to offer an unprecedented combination of holdover, g-sensitivity, low power consumption and warm up performance, while reducing the footprint to less than the critical 0.6 inches height--allowing retrofitting of legacy equipment," explains Said Jackson, president of Jackson Labs Technologies, Inc. "The CSAC combined with our battle- and theater-proven software algorithms and support hardware enables vastly extended mission times while providing critical backup performance for GPS-denied environments when even the optional integrated Selective Availability Anti-spoofing Module (SAASM) GPS technology is jammed."

Epson Debuts World's Fastest Photo Scanner to Scan, Restore, Organize, and Share Printed Photos
Epson FastFoto FF-640 Scans up to One Photo per Second, Restores Faded Photos, Organizes Collections, and Saves to Cloud
LONG BEACH, Calif., Sept. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Epson America, Inc. today introduced the FastFoto((TM)) FF-640 high-speed photo scanning system poised to change the way people preserve and share the billions of photos tucked away in attics, basements, garages, and closets. An innovative alternative to flatbed scanners and costly third-party scan services, FastFoto can scan photos as fast as one photo per second(1) and easily restores faded photos to their original color to share with family and friends via the cloud and on social media, like Facebook(®) and Instagram((TM)).
Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/7820753-epson-fastfoto-worlds-fastest-photo-scanner
"Whether it's for a Throwback Thursday, a photo slideshow for graduation, a wedding, or another life event, before today, digitizing photographs with a flatbed scanner or scanning service has been a time consuming and expensive task," said Larry Trevarthen, director, Commercial Printing and Scanning, Epson America, Inc. "Scanning shoeboxes of photos on a flatbed scanner can take hundreds of hours, and sending photos out to a scanning service is pricey and puts irreplaceable photos at risk of being lost or damaged. FastFoto offers a fast, easy and affordable solution for preserving a family's legacy."
Featuring a 30-photo auto feeder, FastFoto scans photos to a designated hard drive, and offers tools to support easy uploading to services such as Facebook, Dropbox(®) and Google Drive((TM)) to share with family and friends anytime, anywhere. Unlike most scanning solutions, FastFoto scans both the front and back of photos and postcards in a single pass, capturing valuable dates and personal handwritten notes. Epson's scanning software also features a unique naming system to organize photo collections with recognizable file and folder names, searchable metadata, and a capture date that aligns with the date of the photo, not the date the image was scanned.
"In the U.S. today, there are billions of un-scanned photos, and every year countless photos are lost to fires, floods and other natural disasters, making it important to protect and preserve your family's memories. As a global leader in photo and document scanning, Epson was able to scale its advanced imaging technology into a high-performing yet affordable solution for millions of families across the country," said Mike Isgrig, vice president, North America Consumer Sales and Marketing, Epson. "With FastFoto, families can protect their memories for generations to come in a matter of hours and days, versus months and years with competing solutions, at a fraction of the cost."
FastFoto Photo Restoration and Editing Capabilities
FastFoto was custom-designed to handle all the details. With just one click, Smart Photo Fix (SPF) Technology automatically brings new life to old photos with color restoration for faded photos, red-eye reduction and auto enhancement features. The scanner is designed to handle precious memories with Dynamic Skew Correction (DSC) and a sophisticated multi-roller paper feed design to automatically correct the angle at which a photo or document enters the scanner.

Epson FastFoto FF-640 Scans up to One Photo per Second, Restores Faded Photos, Organizes Collections, and Saves to Cloud
LONG BEACH, Calif., Sept. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Epson America, Inc. today introduced the FastFoto((TM)) FF-640 high-speed photo scanning system poised to change the way people preserve and share the billions of photos tucked away in attics, basements, garages, and closets. An innovative alternative to flatbed scanners and costly third-party scan services, FastFoto can scan photos as fast as one photo per second(1) and easily restores faded photos to their original color to share with family and friends via the cloud and on social media, like Facebook(®) and Instagram((TM)).
Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/7820753-epson-fastfoto-worlds-fastest-photo-scanner
"Whether it's for a Throwback Thursday, a photo slideshow for graduation, a wedding, or another life event, before today, digitizing photographs with a flatbed scanner or scanning service has been a time consuming and expensive task," said Larry Trevarthen, director, Commercial Printing and Scanning, Epson America, Inc. "Scanning shoeboxes of photos on a flatbed scanner can take hundreds of hours, and sending photos out to a scanning service is pricey and puts irreplaceable photos at risk of being lost or damaged. FastFoto offers a fast, easy and affordable solution for preserving a family's legacy."
Featuring a 30-photo auto feeder, FastFoto scans photos to a designated hard drive, and offers tools to support easy uploading to services such as Facebook, Dropbox(®) and Google Drive((TM)) to share with family and friends anytime, anywhere. Unlike most scanning solutions, FastFoto scans both the front and back of photos and postcards in a single pass, capturing valuable dates and personal handwritten notes. Epson's scanning software also features a unique naming system to organize photo collections with recognizable file and folder names, searchable metadata, and a capture date that aligns with the date of the photo, not the date the image was scanned.
"In the U.S. today, there are billions of un-scanned photos, and every year countless photos are lost to fires, floods and other natural disasters, making it important to protect and preserve your family's memories. As a global leader in photo and document scanning, Epson was able to scale its advanced imaging technology into a high-performing yet affordable solution for millions of families across the country," said Mike Isgrig, vice president, North America Consumer Sales and Marketing, Epson. "With FastFoto, families can protect their memories for generations to come in a matter of hours and days, versus months and years with competing solutions, at a fraction of the cost."
FastFoto Photo Restoration and Editing Capabilities
FastFoto was custom-designed to handle all the details. With just one click, Smart Photo Fix (SPF) Technology automatically brings new life to old photos with color restoration for faded photos, red-eye reduction and auto enhancement features. The scanner is designed to handle precious memories with Dynamic Skew Correction (DSC) and a sophisticated multi-roller paper feed design to automatically correct the angle at which a photo or document enters the scanner. FastFoto also includes a special handling sheet to protect small, old, damaged, or fragile photos, while the Ultrasonic Sensor allows Double Feed Detection to help avoid missing any photos or mis-feeds, and Auto Size Detection makes it easy to scan multiple sizes in a single stack.

Canon U.S.A Introduces The Latest Members Of The EOS Family The EOS M5 Digital Camera And Its First EF-M High Power Zoom Lens
EOS M5 Camera Provides The Fastest Autofocus (AF) speed of EOS M-Series and a built-in Electronic Viewfinder
MELVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced the latest additions to its EOS M series system - the new Canon EOS M5 Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera and compact EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens. The EOS M5 camera features a 24.2 Megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor, DIGIC 7 Image Processor and the fastest AF speed in the EOS M-series((i)), enabling photographers to capture clear, sharp, high-resolution images and Full HD videos. It is also the first in the EOS camera line to include the low energy Bluetooth(®) Smart((ii)) feature that can maintain a constant connection((iii)) with your compatible smartphone or tablet when you use the Canon camera connect application and both applications are active. The versatile EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens is compatible with all Canon EOS M series digital cameras, and is a great option for photographers looking to capture scenic landscapes while traveling to close-up shots from afar.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160119/323578LOGO
"The new capabilities found in the Canon EOS M5 Camera and EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens set a new standard for our EOS M series of cameras and lenses, showing that Canon is constantly incorporating performance enhancements desired by our customers," said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "When paired together, the new EOS M5 camera and EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens provide image-makers of all levels with powerful tools that enable them to capture a variety of remarkable images and videos."
In addition, advanced photographers will appreciate the improved operability of the EOS M5 camera. It has a built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF) and Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF for capturing stills and shooting video with smooth and precise autofocus. This allows for Touch and Drag AF so users can easily switch the subject of their focus by dragging the AF frame directly on the LCD panel, even while looking through the camera's EVF. Focus peaking allows users to highlight the area of the image that is in focus from within the EVF or LCD monitor. In addition to its touchscreen operability, the EOS M5 camera also has easily accessible dials that allow you to quickly adjust your settings on-the-go.
Key Features of the Canon EOS M5 Camera Include:
-- 24.2 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor, ISO 100-25600.
-- Fast and smooth Dual Pixel CMOS AF helps you capture stills and shoot
video with quick and precise autofocus.
-- High-speed continuous shooting at up to 7.0 fps (up to 9.0 fps with AF
Lock) and new DIGIC 7 Image Processor with improved AF tracking
performance.
-- Full HD 60p helps capture fast-moving subjects and brilliant results in
MP4 format.
-- Digital IS with 5-axis image stabilization((iv))when shooting movies
plus increased image stabilization with both lens optical IS and
in-camera digital IS when shooting with an IS lens.
-- Built-in high-resolution EVF (approx. 2,360,000 dots) with new Touch and
Drag AF lets you manually move the AF frame displayed for more precise
focusing in different shooting situations.
-- Intuitive touch screen 3.2 tilt-type (85° up/180° down) LCD monitor
(approx. 1,620,000 dots) enables flexible positioning and clear viewing.
-- Easily customize functions while shooting using the Main Dial, Quick
Control Dial, Dial Function Button and Exposure Compensation Dial.
-- Built-in Wi-Fi®((v)) and NFC((vi)) allows for easy sharing and
transferring of images and videos.
-- Equipped with Bluetooth®iii Smart for smooth pairing with a compatible
smartphone by powering on both devices for easy photo sharing and remote
control possibilities.
-- Shorter camera startup time((vii)) and interval time between each image
capture for a more efficient shooting experience.
-- Compatible with EF-M lenses as well as the full line of EF((viii)) and
EF-Sviii lenses and Speedlites for expanded creativity.
The Canon EOS M5 also features Combination IS with in-camera 5-axis image stabilization, while capturing video, a first in the Canon EOS series. With a compatible lens attached(iv), Combination IS leverages optical IS and in-camera digital IS to help create tremendously smooth videos. The DIGIC 7 Image Processor makes the 5-axis IS possible even with lenses that do not contain IS, because the in-camera image stabilization functions independently to help reduce camera shake when shooting videos.
Additionally, the EOS M5 camera shoots impressive time-lapse videos. The EOS M5 camera also allows for easy panning by setting the optimal shutter speed after analyzing the camera's panning speed and how fast the subject is moving.
The new Canon EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens offers a high-zoom ratio, expanding the range of photographic possibilities for EOS M digital cameras. Its image stabilizer helps with reducing image blur and making image and video shooting easier at longer focal lengths. Along with the enhanced performance, the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens is compact and lightweight, making it a versatile and convenient lens to carry.
Key Features of the Canon EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM LensInclude:
-- Canon's first EF-M high-zoom power lens covering a broad range of
shooting scenes with a high-zoom ratio of up to 8.3x (29-240mm
equivalent).
-- Compact and lightweight design allows for easy portability.
-- Optical design helps provide excellent image quality across a broad zoom
range comparable to the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens.
-- Maximum magnification of 0.31x at focal length 150mm.
-- Image Stabilizer effect at up to 4((ix))stops of shake correction helps
capture sharp images.

EOS M5 Camera Provides The Fastest Autofocus (AF) speed of EOS M-Series and a built-in Electronic Viewfinder
MELVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced the latest additions to its EOS M series system - the new Canon EOS M5 Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera and compact EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens. The EOS M5 camera features a 24.2 Megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor, DIGIC 7 Image Processor and the fastest AF speed in the EOS M-series((i)), enabling photographers to capture clear, sharp, high-resolution images and Full HD videos. It is also the first in the EOS camera line to include the low energy Bluetooth(®) Smart((ii)) feature that can maintain a constant connection((iii)) with your compatible smartphone or tablet when you use the Canon camera connect application and both applications are active. The versatile EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens is compatible with all Canon EOS M series digital cameras, and is a great option for photographers looking to capture scenic landscapes while traveling to close-up shots from afar.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160119/323578LOGO
"The new capabilities found in the Canon EOS M5 Camera and EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens set a new standard for our EOS M series of cameras and lenses, showing that Canon is constantly incorporating performance enhancements desired by our customers," said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "When paired together, the new EOS M5 camera and EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens provide image-makers of all levels with powerful tools that enable them to capture a variety of remarkable images and videos."
In addition, advanced photographers will appreciate the improved operability of the EOS M5 camera. It has a built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF) and Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF for capturing stills and shooting video with smooth and precise autofocus. This allows for Touch and Drag AF so users can easily switch the subject of their focus by dragging the AF frame directly on the LCD panel, even while looking through the camera's EVF. Focus peaking allows users to highlight the area of the image that is in focus from within the EVF or LCD monitor. In addition to its touchscreen operability, the EOS M5 camera also has easily accessible dials that allow you to quickly adjust your settings on-the-go.
Key Features of the Canon EOS M5 Camera Include:
-- 24.2 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor, ISO 100-25600.
-- Fast and smooth Dual Pixel CMOS AF helps you capture stills and shoot
video with quick and precise autofocus.
-- High-speed continuous shooting at up to 7.0 fps (up to 9.0 fps with AF
Lock) and new DIGIC 7 Image Processor with improved AF tracking
performance.
-- Full HD 60p helps capture fast-moving subjects and brilliant results in
MP4 format.
-- Digital IS with 5-axis image stabilization((iv))when shooting movies
plus increased image stabilization with both lens optical IS and
in-camera digital IS when shooting with an IS lens.
-- Built-in high-resolution EVF (approx. 2,360,000 dots) with new Touch and
Drag AF lets you manually move the AF frame displayed for more precise
focusing in different shooting situations.
-- Intuitive touch screen 3.2 tilt-type (85° up/180° down) LCD monitor
(approx. 1,620,000 dots) enables flexible positioning and clear viewing.
-- Easily customize functions while shooting using the Main Dial, Quick
Control Dial, Dial Function Button and Exposure Compensation Dial.
-- Built-in Wi-Fi®((v)) and NFC((vi)) allows for easy sharing and
transferring of images and videos.
-- Equipped with Bluetooth®iii Smart for smooth pairing with a compatible
smartphone by powering on both devices for easy photo sharing and remote
control possibilities.
-- Shorter camera startup time((vii)) and interval time between each image
capture for a more efficient shooting experience.
-- Compatible with EF-M lenses as well as the full line of EF((viii)) and
EF-Sviii lenses and Speedlites for expanded creativity.
The Canon EOS M5 also features Combination IS with in-camera 5-axis image stabilization, while capturing video, a first in the Canon EOS series. With a compatible lens attached(iv), Combination IS leverages optical IS and in-camera digital IS to help create tremendously smooth videos. The DIGIC 7 Image Processor makes the 5-axis IS possible even with lenses that do not contain IS, because the in-camera image stabilization functions independently to help reduce camera shake when shooting videos.
Additionally, the EOS M5 camera shoots impressive time-lapse videos. The EOS M5 camera also allows for easy panning by setting the optimal shutter speed after analyzing the camera's panning speed and how fast the subject is moving.
The new Canon EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens offers a high-zoom ratio, expanding the range of photographic possibilities for EOS M digital cameras. Its image stabilizer helps with reducing image blur and making image and video shooting easier at longer focal lengths. Along with the enhanced performance, the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens is compact and lightweight, making it a versatile and convenient lens to carry.
Key Features of the Canon EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM LensInclude:
-- Canon's first EF-M high-zoom power lens covering a broad range of
shooting scenes with a high-zoom ratio of up to 8.3x (29-240mm
equivalent).
-- Compact and lightweight design allows for easy portability.
-- Optical design helps provide excellent image quality across a broad zoom
range comparable to the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens.
-- Maximum magnification of 0.31x at focal length 150mm.
-- Image Stabilizer effect at up to 4((ix))stops of shake correction helps
capture sharp images.

The ES series of receivers delivers the superior audio and video quality you expect from Sony and offers a suite of integration features for the custom installer: superior 4K device handling, ease of installation, third party certification, removable front panel, and multiple setup options. The ES receivers feature enhanced compatibility with leading control systems, intuitive web-based configurability, native HDCP 2.2 support and more. Sony's highly regarded ES build quality features "Frame and Beam" full box construction that increases rigidity. When combined with the receiver's off-set feet, this helps eliminate airborne vibration.
Installer-Friendly features
All of the expanded family of ES Audio-Video Receivers support network updates and include a multi-function Remote Commander that supports a variety of discrete operating codes. Also, all include Sony's Auto Calibration technology, D.C.A.C. EX with Speaker Relocation. Utilizing a stereo microphone and 31 bands, D.C.A.C. EX compensates for less than ideal listening environments by closely simulating the sound field produced using optimally positioned and angled speakers. And a new feature called Phantom Surround Back provides a 7 channel surround experience with a 5 channel speaker configuration.
The STR-ZA1100ES and above models support ihiji, a cloud-based network management solution, and are compatible with most common controllers, including Crestron Connected. The STR-ZA3100ES and STR-ZA2100ES models can decode up to 9 channels.
Superior Sound Quality
The STR-ZA3100ES, STR-ZA2100ES and STR-ZA1100ES models include a full range of convenient features that address virtually every system integrator's premium audio quality requirements. All of the new ES receivers are compatible with both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X and support a long list of legacy surround formats, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. The receivers incorporate three powerful DSPs, which reduce noise and provide clear sound localization and ambience. These processors are mounted, together with a high-grade electrolytic capacitor, on the receiver's power line to ensure an ample supply of clean power and optimal performance.
To further enhance sound quality, the new ES models utilize high capacity transformers with localized power supplies, low phase noise precision crystal oscillators, and sonically tuned audio grade resistors.
Advanced Video Quality
Each of the new ES models includes six HDMI inputs (except the-ZA1100ES, which has 5) and two outputs that provide full HDCP 2.2 compliance and supports the latest 4K 60p (4:4:4) Ultra HD content pass-through such as Ultra HD Blu-ray discs as well as video streaming in full 4K resolution and High Dynamic Range (HDR). It can also distribute both 4K video and multichannel audio simultaneously to two different zones. These new ES receivers are compatible with the new BT.2020 wide color gamut standard for future applications.
Additionally, the four new ES receivers can upscale video to 4K 24p.
Pricing and Availability
The new receivers are exclusive to the custom installer channel and with a 5-year limited parts and labor warranty. All four models will be available to dealers and the custom installer channel in spring 2017. Detailed specifications will be available in early 2017.

Sony Unveils First 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray® Player Designed to Meet the Needs of Custom Installers
ES Series reference model delivers premium 4K video and Hi-Res audio for the most demanding entertainment enthusiasts
DALLAS, Sept. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --(CEDIA Booth #3710) -- During its annual press briefing at CEDIA Expo today, Sony Electronics unveiled a new reference standard 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player which will be shipping next spring. The new ES Series model (UBP-X1000ES) offers full Custom Installation (CI) compatibility and incorporates a number of features and technologies that will make it the centerpiece of the most advanced home audio-video systems.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160913/407369
According to Yukio Ishikawa, Director of Home Entertainment Systems for Sony Electronics, "The new UBP-X1000ES player has been long awaited by custom installers who desire a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player that provides a 'one-stop' solution for their clients' premium entertainment needs. Our new reference model has been specifically designed to deliver the highest quality video and audio possible and will excite the most demanding A/V enthusiasts".
One Player Does It All
The X1000ES Universal Player is compatible with Ultra HD Blu-ray discs as well as video streaming in full 4K resolution and High Dynamic Range (HDR), for greater detail, brightness and contrast that fully captures the content creator's intention. Ultra HD Blu-ray playback with stunning 4K resolution, twice the color range of existing conventional Blu-ray players and HDR technology, up to 100 times dynamic range to enjoy realistic picture quality like never before.
In addition to support for Ultra HD Blu-ray discs the X1000ES utilizes a Sony developed Precision HD drive to help maintain consistent performance with virtually every optical disc format, including DVD Video and DVD Audio; CD and SA-CD; and Blu-ray 3D, and BD-ROM media. The player further incorporates a variety of video codecs that can deliver 4K streaming from video streaming services like Amazon Video, YouTube and others.
A dedicated picture mode for HDR content is provided, along with Sony's advanced video processing that upscales 1080p content to near 4K 60p resolution. Additionally, when playing 4K HDR content on a 4K SDR television the X1000ES utilizes a unique Sony algorithm to reproduce the proper brightness and color gradations to provide the best picture possible.
The UBP-X1000ES is also a great match to Dolby Atmos(TM) and DTS:X(TM) object-oriented audio compatible receivers, for the most immersive home theater experience possible. Plus its 32-bit processing DAC is compatible with both native DSD (at up to 11.2 MHz) and LPCM (at up to 192kHz) Hi-Res Music files, which are available in a number of different formats.
As you would expect from such a quality component, the UBP-X1000ES reflects the legendary build quality associated with the coveted ES brand. Its Frame and Beam (FB) chassis helps to increase structural rigidity and its honeycomb top plate, sf heat sync and offset insulator feet reduce the effects of both airborne and mechanical vibration. Even the player's removable rack-mount ears (to be sold separately) are designed to reduce vibration and electrical noise.
The X1000ES offers a number of other ES refinements, including dual HDMI outputs with separate audio and video signal paths and its HDMI, 2ch analog and coaxial digital outputs are gold evaporated for better conductivity.
Conceived for Custom Installation
Unlike conventional 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray players, Sony plans to have the X1000ES fully certified by such leading home control and automation system vendors as Control4, Crestron, Savant, and others.
Furthermore, The UBP-X1000ES provides virtually every connectivity option required for today's complex custom installations, including IP Control over CAT 5 cable or Wi-Fi networks; RS232C two-way control and IR-IN. A web browser interface is also offered, along with support for ihiji, a cloud-based network management solution used by custom installers for remote maintenance.
Pricing and Availability
The new UBP-X1000ES is being offered exclusively to the custom installer channel and comes with a 3-year limited parts and labor warranty. It will be available from authorized Sony AV dealers and custom installers in spring 2017. Pricing will be announced at a later date.

Sony Electronics Announces the Latest Addition to its 4K HDR Home Theater Projector Line-Up at CEDIA 2016
The VPL-VW675ES is Sony's first projector to support Hybrid Log Gamma in preparation for future HDR broadcast content[i]
DALLAS, Sept. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CEDIA Booth #3710 - Today, Sony Electronics is expanding its home theater line-up with the announcement of the VPL-VW675ES, a new, compact native 4K resolution Home Cinema projector supporting the latest 4K standards and compatible with HDR to get the very best out of today's content. As demand for 4K HDR content continues to grow, the VPL-VW675ES is an ideal home cinema or living room theatre solution for movie, TV and sporting event fans who want to watch the content they love with the most spectacular image quality.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160913/407377
"Sony is the leader in full native 4K resolution projectors for the home theater market," said André Floyd, Product Manager for projectors at Sony Electronics Inc. "The successor to the award-winning VPL-VW665ES introduced just last year at CEDIA, the VPL-VW675ES demonstrates our continuing commitment to provide cutting-edge home cinema technology to our customers and the custom install channel."
Breathtaking Picture Quality
The VPL-VW675ES will be amongst the industry's first home cinema projectors to support Hybrid Log-Gamma (HyLG) for HDR broadcasting services and user generated content - through a firmware update to be provided soon after the new HDMI specification is standardized. Sony's newest home projector joins the existing ES line-up with home cinema standard HDR 10 support and is compatible with streamed HDR content from Amazon, Netflix and video streaming services, as well as Ultra HD Blu-ray players. HDR offers an extremely wide range of brightness levels allowing for a tremendous increase in the volume of displayable colors to deliver images that match the director's intentions and vision. VPL-VW675ES also includes a feature which enables customers to adjust the average screen brightness, depending on their environments or preferences, while maintaining accurate HDR reproduction.
Like Sony's other award-winning 4K HDR home theater projectors, the VPL-VW675ES uses native 4K SXRD(TM) panels, with no artificial manipulation of pixels. Rich and accurate color reproduction is ensured by Sony's proprietary TRILUMINOS(TM) engine design, while Motionflow(TM) picture technology serves to deliver clearer, less blurry images when watching fast-paced, cinematic or sports action.
With its native 4K resolution panel, the VPL-VW675ES provides precise and clear images with improved Reality Creation function for 4K signals and supports HDR capability both for 4K 24P and 4K 60P for fully enjoying various 4K HDR content. It delivers an impressive 1,800 lumens brightness, a dynamic contrast ratio of 350,000:1 and Sony's unique 4K technology for further improvements on picture quality.
User Friendly
Thanks to its low fan noise, entertainment lovers can view their favorite programs undisturbed. Viewers can also expect fewer interruptions and reduced maintenance thanks to Sony's long-lasting lamp technology, which has a higher brightness retention, requires less maintenance, and provides up to 6,000 hours of operation (in Low Mode). A built-in RF 3D transmitter makes it easy to provide further adaptability with a strong wireless signal for wider coverage and 3D synchronisation stability, while a built-in auto calibration function resets the projector colorimetry to original factory levels to ensure viewers can continue to enjoy high picture quality throughout the life of the projector. And, the VPL-VW675ES allows users to enjoy up-to-date 4K content services through the latest connectivity options using the latest HDMI standard and HDCP 2.2 on both inputs.
Installation friendly
From native 4K to full HD 3D resolution, the new Sony Home Theater projectors are packed with the latest innovative technologies to make home theater more enjoyable for end users and the projectors are friendlier to install for dealers. Professional calibration features allow operators to expertly adjust the picture to suit the viewers' tastes. These color correction tools allow access to adjust the hue, saturation, and brightness of each color and the color space for red, green, blue respectively, to their desired level. The VPL-VW675ES's compact size powered 2.06 zoom and wide-angle lens allows for flexible and easy installation. And the front exhaust enables a wide range of installation opportunities.
Installers can also take advantage of Projector Calibration Pro software on HD through 4K Sony home theater models, allowing them to manipulate all of a projector's features from a simple PC interface, including the sophisticated color calibration tools. Setup configurations can be saved to a file to upload to any future installations, making future calibrations that much quicker. Additional adjustments made for a particular client can be saved in a separate file that will allow the installer to easily recall their original calibrations if ever needed to tweak that client's system in the future.
Pricing and Availability
The VPL-VW675ES home theater projector will be available in November 2016. MSRP is $14,999.99. Custom installers and other CEDIA attendees can get a first look at the CEDIA Sony Booth #3710. For more information and images visit http://www.sony.com/news/.
[i] Hybrid Log-Gamma (HyLG) will be upgraded depending on its standardization schedule. Hybrid Log Gamma will also be available for VVPL-W5000ES soon after the HDMI standard is finalized

The VPL-VW675ES will be amongst the industry's first home cinema projectors to support Hybrid Log-Gamma (HyLG) for HDR broadcasting services and user generated content - through a firmware update to be provided soon after the new HDMI specification is standardized. Sony's newest home projector joins the existing ES line-up with home cinema standard HDR 10 support and is compatible with streamed HDR content from Amazon, Netflix and video streaming services, as well as Ultra HD Blu-ray players. HDR offers an extremely wide range of brightness levels allowing for a tremendous increase in the volume of displayable colors to deliver images that match the director's intentions and vision. VPL-VW675ES also includes a feature which enables customers to adjust the average screen brightness, depending on their environments or preferences, while maintaining accurate HDR reproduction.
Like Sony's other award-winning 4K HDR home theater projectors, the VPL-VW675ES uses native 4K SXRD(TM) panels, with no artificial manipulation of pixels. Rich and accurate color reproduction is ensured by Sony's proprietary TRILUMINOS(TM) engine design, while Motionflow(TM) picture technology serves to deliver clearer, less blurry images when watching fast-paced, cinematic or sports action.
With its native 4K resolution panel, the VPL-VW675ES provides precise and clear images with improved Reality Creation function for 4K signals and supports HDR capability both for 4K 24P and 4K 60P for fully enjoying various 4K HDR content. It delivers an impressive 1,800 lumens brightness, a dynamic contrast ratio of 350,000:1 and Sony's unique 4K technology for further improvements on picture quality.
User Friendly
Thanks to its low fan noise, entertainment lovers can view their favorite programs undisturbed. Viewers can also expect fewer interruptions and reduced maintenance thanks to Sony's long-lasting lamp technology, which has a higher brightness retention, requires less maintenance, and provides up to 6,000 hours of operation (in Low Mode). A built-in RF 3D transmitter makes it easy to provide further adaptability with a strong wireless signal for wider coverage and 3D synchronisation stability, while a built-in auto calibration function resets the projector colorimetry to original factory levels to ensure viewers can continue to enjoy high picture quality throughout the life of the projector. And, the VPL-VW675ES allows users to enjoy up-to-date 4K content services through the latest connectivity options using the latest HDMI standard and HDCP 2.2 on both inputs.
Installation friendly
From native 4K to full HD 3D resolution, the new Sony Home Theater projectors are packed with the latest innovative technologies to make home theater more enjoyable for end users and the projectors are friendlier to install for dealers. Professional calibration features allow operators to expertly adjust the picture to suit the viewers' tastes. These color correction tools allow access to adjust the hue, saturation, and brightness of each color and the color space for red, green, blue respectively, to their desired level. The VPL-VW675ES's compact size powered 2.06 zoom and wide-angle lens allows for flexible and easy installation. And the front exhaust enables a wide range of installation opportunities.
Installers can also take advantage of Projector Calibration Pro software on HD through 4K Sony home theater models, allowing them to manipulate all of a projector's features from a simple PC interface, including the sophisticated color calibration tools. Setup configurations can be saved to a file to upload to any future installations, making future calibrations that much quicker. Additional adjustments made for a particular client can be saved in a separate file that will allow the installer to easily recall their original calibrations if ever needed to tweak that client's system in the future.
Pricing and Availability
The VPL-VW675ES home theater projector will be available in November 2016. MSRP is $14,999.99. Custom installers and other CEDIA attendees can get a first look at the CEDIA Sony Booth #3710. For more information and images visit http://www.sony.com/news/.
[i] Hybrid Log-Gamma (HyLG) will be upgraded depending on its standardization schedule. Hybrid Log Gamma will also be available for VVPL-W5000ES soon after the HDMI standard is finalized

New MooMonitor + App Wins Best New Product Innovation Award at UK Dairy Day

New MooMonitor + App Wins Best New Product Innovation Award at UK Dairy Day
DUBLIN, September 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Putting the power of Herd Management in your hands, while eliminating hours of
paperwork on the farm...Â
The latest App from Dairymaster - the MooMonitor+ is the newest stage in the evolution
of Dairymaster's ground-breaking MooMonitor+ health and fertility monitoring system. This
cutting edge technology has been honoured at UK Dairy Day as the Best New Product
Innovation Award today in Telford, Shropshire. This App works in tandem with the
MooMonitor+ collar, and no matter how big the farmer's herd is this App has the power to
identify animals that need their attention, anytime, anywhere. The visual picture of their
herd allows them to easily identify cows when they are in heat, ill or simply not
thriving.

Fergus O' Meara, International Business Development Manager comments: "We are
delighted to have won such a prestigious award today for the MooMonitor+ App. It is a
powerful tool to help farmers make the right decision at the right time, which is getting
more and more important as herd sizes increase."
The dashboard of the two-way App gives a very visual, easy to read update of what is
currently going on with the herd and what needs to be done. It classifies the animals and
allows farmers to manage each individual cow's health and fertility easily.
One of the advanced unique features of the App is that it provides farmers with Live
Behaviour Graphs mapping multiple kinds of behaviour relative to other cows within the
group. The MooMonitor+ App can be used to assess each cow or the number of animals
affected together and for how long. When the system detects sick cows it will send an
immediate notification direct to the farmer's mobile allowing them to intervene sooner.
 Veterinarians or AI technicians can have access to farms and can even monitor several
farms on their mobile.
Even assigning a collar to the cow is an easy task with the App. By simply swiping the
tag with a compatible phone, the smart technology allows for the cow's ear tag number to
be entered immediately onto the system removing the need to go back to the PC. The
innovative technology also allows for information about tasks/events carried out on farm,
such as insemination, preg check, BCS, health event, dry off and more to be directly
uploaded via the App. It is even possible to do real time drafting with the App.
One of the other unique things about this App, is information is re-computing every 15
minutes, therefore the farmer has up the minute information about the herd. The data is 8
times more granular than most systems on the market and contains more measurements of
animal behaviour than other systems. The MooMonitor+ measures the intensity of activity
and classifies it into 3 different intensities (other systems only have 1 intensity) and
it also knows the number of seconds of resting, feeding and rumination for each 15 minutes
of the day. Again most comparable systems have these in 2 hour intervals.
This advanced App is designed for both Apple and android phones. Much like Facebook,
the easy-to-use MooMonitor+ App software is cloud based and is accessible from anywhere in
the world on an unlimited number of devices and platforms across multiple languages which
is connected to the internet via a secure login.

Canon to Showcase the Efficient and Dynamic Océ ColorWave 910 Roll-to-Roll Workflow at 2016 SGIA Expo
New workflow offering greatly enhances application flexibility for wide format print providers.
MELVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced that it will showcase the latest enhancements to its large format print system offerings, the Océ ColorWave 910 roll-to-roll (R2R) workflow, during the esteemed 2016 SGIA Expo industry event. Making its U.S. debut at SGIA Expo, taking place September 14-16, 2016 in Las Vegas, NV, the Océ ColorWave 910 R2R workflow introduces high-speed and easy roll-to-roll large format production.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160119/323578LOGO
The next generation Océ ColorWave 910 large format printing systems enable print providers to produce inexpensive output in seconds, while offering a workflow that helps increase productivity, lower running costs, and increase flexibility for variable data and short-run print jobs. Resulting from a fruitful collaboration between Canon and SDD of Emst, Netherlands, the latest advancements to the roll-to-roll solution are ideal for producing variable data posters, wrapping paper, wallpaper, labels, and a uniquely wide range of other applications.
"The Océ ColorWave 910 roll-to-roll workflow makes it even easier for graphics print professionals to say 'yes' to their customers," said Toyotsugu Kuwamura, executive vice president and general manager, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "This easy to implement solution delivers a sweet spot of productivity, application versatility, and quality, while offering print providers and in-plant corporate printers the ability to efficiently and cost-effectively print point-of-purchase materials, short-term posters, specialty applications, and much more."
Instrumental to Canon's new R2R workflow solution are several dynamic and key elements, each providing unprecedented reliability and ease-of-use. During the preflight phase, jobs are initially prepared with the ONYX® Thrive workflow software, a scalable print production solution based on Adobe® technologies, where users can add cut marks and RIP power to their projects.
A key aspect in the roll-to-roll workflow is the SDD RWM6644 Roll Wind Module, integrated with the Océ ColorWave 910, which together offer fast 12-inch per second print speed with easy-rolled output. The RWM6644 Roll Wind Module was designed to handle many different kinds of media, and is highly flexible and easily integrated with the new R2R workflow. Users can expect to enhance their capabilities and optimize production with the RWM6644 module, as it is fully capable of being used for winding and unwinding while providing the option to move to laminator or automatic cutter for efficient finishing of printed output.
Roll wound output from the Océ ColorWave 910 is then easily cut to full bleed or down to multiple sheets with the offline Fotoba Dreamcut XLD-170 X/Y cutter, which when combined with the Océ ColorWave large format printer, streamlines production of a wide range of application possibilities including wallpaper, floor graphics, wall graphics, signs, banners, canvas, posters, stickers, flyers, window graphics, and more.

WTIA Workforce Institute Officially Opens Registered Tech Apprenticeship Program, Apprenti, with First Participants in Initial Training Round
Program Receives Additional $200K in Funding from JP Morgan Chase to Expand High-Tech Job Opportunities for Women, Minorities, and Veterans in Washington State
SEATTLE, Sept. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The WTIA Workforce Institute today announced the opening of its registered apprenticeship program, Apprenti, the only tech apprenticeship accredited by the State of Washington and a first for the industry. Apprenti will recruit, train, and place at least 600 new tech workers during the pilot. The program focuses on under represented groups including women, minorities and veterans, helping bridge the skills and diversity gap and providing trained talent to the state's high-wage tech sector. Apprenti officially kicks off today and is currently accepting applications for its first round of participants this fall. The WTIA Workforce Institute also announced that Apprenti will receive an additional $200K in funding from JP Morgan Chase to cover the costs of training its first participants.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160913/407423LOGO
"Apprenti reinvents the way the tech industry approaches training, hiring and recruiting new talent," said Jennifer Carlson, Executive Director, WTIA Workforce Institute. "The support we've had across the public and private sectors shows the collective need for a fresh approach to hiring and addressing diversity challenges in our sector. Today's launch is the culmination of our partnership with the state, our training and hiring partners, as well as those in the community who have worked so hard to see this program come to fruition."
Apprenti is operated by the WTIA Workforce Institute, the 501c3 sister organization to the Washington Technology Industry Association (WTIA). It is also partially funded through a grant from the American Apprenticeship Initiative (AAI) of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), with support from the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) and JP Morgan Chase.
"The application of the apprenticeship model to the IT industry is exciting. Our partnership with WTIA to launch Apprenti has the potential to change the face of apprenticeships, moving from building trades to the cutting edge of technology," said Jody Robbins, program manager of apprenticeship at Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. "Diversifying our apprenticeship sponsors is as important for the expansion of the apprenticeship model as is diversifying the workforce for our new industry partners. These are exciting times for apprenticeship in Washington State."
Washington State is the top recruiter of tech talent in the country, with more than 8,000 new tech jobs per year. As demand for skilled workers grows, companies are also struggling to increase diversity among their workforce. The problem workers are facing is access. Less than twenty percent of the tech workforce is female and less than three percent is Hispanic or African American. There are an even smaller number of veterans working in the technology field. Apprenti will assist people within these under represented communities with a path and a plan for a successful career in technology and will help the industry and Apprenti hiring partners like Microsoft and F5 Networks meet the demand for diverse and skilled tech talent.
Chuck Edward, Head of Global Talent Acquisition at Microsoft said, "Apprenti is a great win for our organization. It provides the opportunity for someone to come in and work side-by-side with our employees and learn from that experience. The program provides pre-apprenticeship training and helps us access a more diverse, qualified workforce. Our partnership with the Workforce Institute enables us to influence the curriculum and initial training provided to apprentices and lets us do the on-the-job training."
Julian Eames, Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer at F5 Networks, said "Apprenti offers an innovative approach to an issue of increasing urgency for employers in Washington State: a skilled workforce that reflects the diversity of its partners, customers and communities. It is essential to our company's and the technology industry's long-term, competitive growth that we recruit and retain talent from a more diverse population."
Apprenti is the only apprenticeship program registered with the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries and designed to meet the tech industry's growing needs. Its primary focus is on serving candidates who are women, minorities and/or veterans. Successful applicants are highly capable, have good communication skills, are fluent in English (spoken and written), and have the drive to be successful. Once accepted to the program, each apprentice receives two to four months of certified technical training followed by one year of full-time, paid, on-the-job training with one of Apprenti's many hiring partners. A grant from JP Morgan Chase is eliminating financial barriers for participants by helping to underwrite free training for the first round of apprentices.
"JPMorgan Chase & Co. has made funding apprenticeships a priority as an effective model to build career pathways to well-paying jobs that offer opportunities for advancement," said Cat Martin, Northwest Philanthropy Manager, JPMorgan Chase & Co. "The WTIA Workforce Institute has the expertise to uncover the region's hidden talent and is taking an innovative approach to bringing together employers and educators to prepare them to meet the growing demand for increased diversity in the tech workforce."
Following the first round of Apprenti participants, the program will offer apprenticeship opportunities every three months beginning late fall 2016. The program is currently accepting applications for its first session. As a competency based program, those with a strong determination to complete the rigorous training are encouraged to apply. To be considered for the program, you must be 18 or over, have a high school diploma or equivalent and be a U.S. citizen or permanent legal resident. You can apply by taking the online Apprenti assessment, which you can find at http://www.ApprentiCareers.org.

Partial Update Technology Speeds Up and Enhances User Experiences of E-Paper Displays

Partial Update Technology Speeds Up and Enhances User Experiences of E-Paper Displays
TAINAN CITY, Taiwan, September 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Pervasive Displays (PDi), a world leader in e-paper displays today announced the
availability of partial update display driving technology across its range of electronic
ink e-paper displays (EPD). E-paper is a bistable technology, which means that energy is
only consumed when the display is changing. Once it has changed, the display consumes no
energy and continues to show information, even when disconnected from its power
source. Rather than update the whole display image when part of it changes, known as a
global or full update, a partial update (or local update) only refreshes the pixels that
need to be changed. This approach greatly enhances the user's visual experience since it
does not create the blinking effect typically associated with a global update when all
pixels are refreshed. In addition, this method of update takes less time and consumes much
less power, further improving the user's visual interaction with the display. A partial
update cycle takes around 300 - 600 ms which is a quarter of the time typically required
for a global update on a similar monochrome display. The partial update uses two data
buffers to contain the current and new images, and by comparing these, the pixels that
require updating are identified.
The partial update display driving technology has been integrated into the graphics
libraries of the semiconductor vendors supported, these including Texas Instruments (TI)
and Microchip. Examples of application areas for this type of technology are smart home
devices such as thermostats and home appliances; Internet of Things (IoT) applications
like alarm systems, sensor devices and public information boards; and personal devices
such as name badges, healthcare devices and electronic bag tags.
A video example [http://www.pervasivedisplays.com/kits/ext2_kit#PartialUpdate ] of the
partial update being used on a variety of different display sizes with external timing
controllers (eTCs) from PDi is available on the Pervasive Displays website together with
the source code for use with the new EPD Extension Kit.
PDi has also implemented partial update with the TITM TivaWare Graphics Library (grlib)
for its internal timing controllers (iTC) driver displays. Demo videos
[http://www.pervasivedisplays.com/kits/ext2_kit#PartialUpdate ] are available on the
website for thermostat, human machine interface (HMI) and smart home applications.
Developers can obtain the new EXT2 Kit from Pervasive Displays to preview the partial
update effect on full images using displays with iTCs.

Bluvision Innovates Industrial IoT Yet Again - Launches Long-Range Beacons, Industrial Beacons and Alternate-Powered Gateways
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Bluvision, http://www.bluvision.com, the company that was the first to launch Bluetooth to WiFi gateways eliminating the need for smart phone applications, the first to provide an end-to-end platform with their cloud solution enabling remote, fleet management, and the provider of beacons with the longest battery life in the market - BEEKS(TM) (5 years), BEEKS(TM) Plus (10 years) and Bluvision's Bluetooth Beacon card (launched in 2015 with over 2 years battery life), today announced new products that further strengthen their product suite and address the needs of Industrial IoT and the Industrial and Manufacturing sectors as a whole. The new products include - the Industrial BEEKS(TM) beacon with ruggedized housing, the BEEKS(TM) Plus LR [Long-Range] beacons - with over 0.6-mile radius, first-of-its-kind Directional Beamforming antenna and industry leading 10-year battery life, and the battery-powered and Power-over-Ethernet [PoE]-powered BluFis(TM) enabling Real-Time-Location-System [RTLS] solution in outdoor locations or locations with minimal infrastructure.

Bluvision's Industrial BEEKS(TM) beacon with ruggedized-housing, IP-67 water resistance and environmental resistance, and 5-yr battery life is suited for challenging manufacturing environments and industrial applications including Cold Chain Temperature monitoring and Motor Condition monitoring.
The BEEKS(TM) Plus LR beacons are designed with Directional Beamforming antenna, the first of its kind in the world today. The advantage of using this type of antenna is that enterprises can precisely determine if the beacon is in the front of, to the side or behind the phone. Bluvision's BEEKS(TM) Plus LR beacons combined with Bluvision's RTLS capabilities are a perfect fit for companies needing to monitor locations or assets in open areas or areas with difficult RF environments where signal transmission is often disrupted, making the determination of real-time location extremely challenging. Like the Industrial beacons, BEEKS(TM) Plus LR beacons are IP67 water resistant and environmental resistance. The BEEKS(TM) Plus LR beacons are also equipped with sensors - motion detection 3 axis accelerometer and NIST calibrated temperature sensors. The BEEKS(TM) Plus LR also has capabilities of logging sensor data within the beacon with options of 512 KB flash standard for logging temperature and environmental sensors for up to six months.
The latest in line of BluFi(TM), Bluvision's Bluetooth to WiFi gateways, can support any environment and location even in the absence of AC power, thereby offering great flexibility to deploying scalable BLE solution/s for outdoors and areas where power is not readily available.
"There is a lot of noise in this space from companies announcing the next greatest thing and declaring firsts," said John Sailer, COO, Bluvision. "Our focus has always been on solving industry problems through a combination of our technical expertise across the stack, our manufacturing capabilities, and focusing on the practicality of usage which is why we've always built beacons that are IP67 water and environment-resistant, have long life battery, provide long-range capabilities and built for the rigors that industrial environments require."
To order Bluvision's BEEKS(TM) Plus LR beacons, Industrial BEEKS(TM) beacon or alternate-powered BluFis(TM), email info@bluvision.com.

The 20V MAX* Lithium Ion Brushless Drill/Driver (PCCK607LB) boasts more runtime as well as 20% more power and improved bit retention compared to the prior model (PCC601). Its efficient brushless motor, high-speed transmission, and 1.5Ah battery deliver up to 370 Max Watts Out (MWO) to maximize drilling and fastening speeds. A two-speed gear transmission delivers 0-450 Rotations Per Minute (RPM) in low speed for high-torque applications and 0-1,800 RPM in high speed for maximum fastening speed. Since compact size is an important feature for professionals, the 20V MAX* Lithium Ion Brushless Drill/Driver is just 7.4 inches in length and weighs only 3.3 pounds with its battery.
Compared to its predecessor (PCC641), the 20V MAX* Lithium Ion Brushless Impact Driver (PCCK647LB) features more runtime and shorter tool length. The brushless motor and transmission generate 1,400 inch-pounds of maximum torque for large fasteners and the variable speed trigger delivers 0-2,700 RPM. The Impact Driver is equipped with a 1/4" quick chuck for fast and easy one-handed bit changes. This trim yet powerful tool is just 5.8 inches in length and weighs only 2.9 pounds with its battery.
Both brushless unit kits come with two Lithium Ion, professional-grade batteries and each tool hosts an onboard state of charge indicator to gauge battery life over the course of a job. Finally, each tool is designed with an over-molded grip for comfort and an LED work light that stays on for 20 seconds at a time to help illuminate dark work areas. With rubber bumpers on the sides of the tool and a belt hook for storage at arm's reach, each of these two new members in the Brushless EDGE(TM) family of tools is a top choice for the residential contractor.
The new 20V MAX* Lithium Ion Brushless Drill/Driver (PCCK607LB) and 20V MAX* Lithium Ion Brushless Impact Driver (PCCK647LB) will be available at select Lowe's stores in September 2016 and nationally at Lowe's and independent retailers in November 2016. Priced at $139 MSRP (kitted with two batteries) each, they will come with a three-year limited, one-year service, and 90-day money-back guarantee.
*Maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a workload) is 20 volts. Nominal voltage is 18.
**PCCK607LB vs. PCC601 and PCCK647LB vs. PCC641, using 2 in. screws into 2x pine

7invensun Launches the World's First VR Eye Tracking Module At GTC CHINA 2016

7invensun Launches the World's First VR Eye Tracking Module At GTC CHINA 2016
BEIJING, Sept. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Yesterday, at GTC CHINA 2016, Thomas Huang, the founder and CEO of 7invensun, a well-known Chinese eye-tracking technology company, was invited to introduce the development of eye-tracking technology in the VR industry.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160914/407478
GTC CHINA is a large scale conference; it is a stage for technology elites to demonstrate their latest achievements. It includes sessions such as In-depth Learning, Big Data Analysis, High Performance Computing and Super Computers, the Emerging Companies Summit (ECS), and, most inportantly for global GPU developers, the GPU Technology Conference. Participants at GTC CHINA include leading and influential technology companies, newly emerged start-up companies, and a large number of developers and VR fans.
During the event 7invensun launched the world's first VR eye-tracking module to solve the technical problem of foveated rendering. Thomas Huang emphasized in his talk that: "7invensun's VR eye-tracking technology boasts three advantages, including full field-of-view (FOV) tracking, high precision and low latency. The tracking range can reach the extremity of eye rotation (vertically 30 degrees and horizontally 50 degrees), covering mainstream VR devices with a FOV larger than 110 degrees. The tracking precision is up to a world-leading level (0.5 degrees). The maximum tracking speed is 380HZ, while the latency is lower than 5ms. The hardware design of the eye tracking module is also unique with detachable modules, which makes them easy to carry and replace. The human-centered design allows for replacement for near-sighted lenses (every set is equipped with near-sighted lenses: one pair for 200 degrees, 400 degrees and 600 degrees each). Currently, companies collaborating with 7invensun in the VR eye-tracking technology field include NVIDIA, Qualcomm and HTC." In the ECS, Thomas Huang further indicated that "It is an honor for 7invensun's eye tracking module to be supported by partners. We are hoping for more opportunities to work together with you in extensive development of eye tracking technology in the future."
With the rapid development of the VR industry in recent years, the main deterrent confronting VR hardware factories is that players' computer hardware is not able to meet the needs of display devices for high-resolution rendering. What's more, the VR equipment that is currently available can only function properly on computers that are priced at RMB10,000-RMB20,000 (aboiut USD$1,500-USD$3,000). In order to solve this problem, 7invensun is collaborating with companies such as NVIDIA and Qualcomm to develop foveated rendering technology based on eye-tracking. When we see a pure rendering scene, most of the computer work is wasted since our eyes can only accept details at the fixation point. Understanding the accurate field-of-view of users through eye-tracking technology, we only need to render the area with full resolution, to reduce the requirements for GPU.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160914/407479
As VR technology emerges worldwide, domestic and foreign VR industries have ushered in the prospect of quick starts. The eye-tracking technology achievements released at GTC CHINA will bring more expectations to the VR market. We believe that in the near future eye-tracking technology will become the most indispensable technology to VR equipment, like a mouse to computer. The eye tracking module released by 7invesun at GTC CHINA will officially hit the market on October 10th. Interested friends won't want to miss the opportunity to experiencing VR eye-tracking technology.

Toshiba Application Processor Drives Next-Generation Smart Wearable Device From World Media & Technology
ApP Lite(TM) TZ1000 enables Helo smart wristband to perform real-time health monitoring
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs, today announced that its TZ1000 Application Processor Lite (ApP Lite(TM)) series of processors for wearable and Internet of Things (IoT) devices is being deployed in the new Helo smart wristband from Miami-based World Media & Technology Corp. (Wor(l)d).
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141006/150586
The ApP Lite TZ1000 integrates Bluetooth(®) low energy (LE) wireless communication, an ARM(®) Cortex(®)-M4F processor, and Flash memory in a single compact package. When active in Helo, it enables high-precision detection and collection of a user's vital-sign data, utilizing its low-power Bluetooth functionality to relay the data to the user's smartphone.
Wor(l)d's Helo smart wristband is designed to continuously monitor and analyze heart rate, blood pressure and respiration, and send the data wirelessly to a connected app on the wearer's smartphone. This is intended to allow users to maintain a history of vital statistics and activity over time, and give authorized healthcare providers access to the aggregated, anonymized data via the cloud.
"As the cornerstone of our ApP Lite offerings, the TZ1000 series processors have been successfully deployed in a number of innovative IoT applications," said Deepak Prakash, senior director, Logic LSI Business Unit, System LSI Group at TAEC. "We are pleased to be able to engage with Wor(l)d to help them bring Helo to market. Our TZ1000 low-power design enabled long battery runtime, and the development platform reduced the development time for Helo."

The construction project started in September 2015. It represents an investment of more than $40 million.
According to Mario Monette, Technoparc Montreal's President and CEO "We are very pleased to welcome the company 4Degrés at the Technoparc. This is a great addition to the set of high-tech companies already present in our Saint-Laurent campus. The building located on Avenue Marie-Curie has a modern and avant-garde exterior architecture, which is easily integrated into the frame of the scientific park. In addition, the proximity of several potential users will create an excellent synergy among the companies present at Technoparc. We wish a complete success to the company 4Degrés!"
The arrival of 4Degrés adds 40 new jobs at the Technoparc. This confirms Technoparc's role as an important component of the economical development. In addition, the recent announcement of the proposed Réseau Ãlectrique Métropolitain (electric train) by the CDPQ Infra, in which a station is planned at the Technoparc, reinforces the strategic location of the site and will thereby facilitate the access to the site via transportation means other than the car.
