LeEco's Le2 - An Impressive Challenger to Samsung Galaxy J7 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3

BANGALORE and DELHI, June 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    It's a virtual war in India's burgeoning smartphone market especially in the
mid-segment category, where most smartphone manufacturers are seeing growth coming from. A
research report from Cyber Media Research (CMR), suggests that for the first time in India,
the average selling price of smartphones rose 25% year-on-year, with the mid-range
category, 10-15k becoming more popular to beat the budget category, 6-8k. This has
resulted in consumers being swamped with options, leaving them spoilt for choices but also
bewildered and confused at the same time.

    LeEco's recently launched Superphone Le 2 has taken the sub-15k category by storm.
Owing to its powerful processor, best-in-class design and revolutionary CDLA technology
which has taken audio experience in smartphones to a whole new level, Le 2 is a tough
competitor to its peers such as Samsung Galaxy J7 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3.

    From a consumer standpoint, it is now more important than ever that a smartphone
exceeds all expectations across categories - display, camera quality, storage capacity and
aesthetics among others. And Le 2 ticks all boxes here which makes it a headliner among
smartphones in this category as per technology experts.

    And here's what makes this all possible -

    Processor: Powerful and delivers a seamless performance 

    Le 2's performance is considerably enhanced from the earlier models and complementing
its 3GB of RAM and 32GB of on-board storage is the powerful Octa-Core Qualcomm (R)
Snapdragon (TM) 652, the fastest processor in this price segment. On the other hand, Redmi
Note 3 is powered by 1.4GHz hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 and comes with 2GB RAM and
packs 16GB of internal storage. Samsung Galaxy J7 is backed by 1.5GHz octa-core Samsung
Exynos 7580 processor and comes with 1.5GB RAM and packs 16GB internal storage. With these
specifications, Le 2 promises to deliver an unmatched experience to users without any
issues of their smartphone lagging.

    Le 2 clearly wins hands down when one looks at its processor and storage capacity,
 making multi-tasking a delight for users!

    Display: Big and Bright

    One of the most important aspects that users consider when deciding on a smartphone is
the display quality it offers, that majorly dictates how their overall experience with the
phone will be.

    LeEco's Le 2 flaunts a 5.5 inch Full HD display and comes with an in-cell display
screen which is usually featured with flagship phones. The screen's blue light filter
helps reduce eye fatigue, while at the same time; the in-cell screen allows devices to be
thinner and lighter.

    Here again, Le 2 stands out with its amazing display, making viewing experience for
users an excellent one!

    Additionally, Le 2 has an edge with its content proposition and flaunts the world's
first CDLA technology, patented by LeEco that gives users benefits that no one smartphone
offers! Le 2 comes bundled with one year LeEco Membership that gives users access to big
ticket international live concerts, exclusive live streaming of major entertainment events
and music concerts worldwide among other benefits.

    Le 2 also incorporates the world's first CDLA Standard that enables end-to-end
lossless digital music transmission. The Superphone adds a whole new dimension to the
future of smartphones by taking a leap into the next big thing in audio technology -
Continual Lossless Digital Audio (CLDA) technology that has made the traditional 3.5 mm
audio jack redundant.

LeEco's Le Max2 - Ups the Ante for Smartphones in India

BANGALORE and DELHI, June 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Over the years, the definition of smartphone has undergone several changes. Between
2013-2014, smartphone manufacturers were focused on creating the slimmest possible phone
which faded away rather quickly. Then came 2014 where the focus shifted to offering some
speculative camera specs to users, a trend that responded to the selfie phenomenon. This
also coincided with various innovations in touch screen capabilities. Well, 2016 so far
has been the year of large screen 'flagships' and smartphones pioneering never-before
technological innovations. At a time when the industry is at a critical junction and is
going through a massive change, the global Internet and technology conglomerate LeEco
comes along and adds a whole new dimension to the future of smartphones through Le Max2.
Le Max2 has taken the battle of the processors to a whole new level.

    Incorporating powerful processors in smartphones are in response to the rapidly
changing lifestyles and higher consumers' aspirations. The fact that smartphones have been
adversely affecting the sales of other electronic devices such as desktop, TVs and laptops
suggests that they've become a one-stop-shop for users. Therefore, it is critical for
smartphones to be backed by powerful processors that allow users to multi-task and give
them a seamless experience. This is where LeEco's Le Max2 leads over other flagships and
is a clear winner in the smartphone sweepstakes in India.

    At the heart of Le Max2 is the world's most powerful processor, Qualcomm(R) Snapdragon
(TM) 820 (MSM8996) and features the high performance combination of 4GB RAM + 32GB
on-board memory or 6GB RAM + 64GB on-board memory, pushing the limits of the industry to
new heights. Realizing that RAM and ROM are essential elements in a phone, LeEco has come
up with two variants for Le Max2 so that the customer can choose as per their needs.

    Le Max2 offers the latest in mobile technology to its users in all respect whether
they want to capture or playback 4K video, or in 3D gaming or multimedia with next
generation Qualcomm(R) Adreno(TM) 530 GPU. Snapdragon(TM) 820 also enables 2X power saving
compared to the previous generation.

    LeEco's Le Max2 continues to generate a lot excitement among tech and gizmo experts
with its high-end specifications and irresistible features. Coupled with its competitive
pricing it is now not only a must-have but also a best buy for thousands of eager
consumers. This Superphone is certainly in a class apart when compared to its peers and
has a definitive edge given its unequalled content ecosystem proposition, world's first
CDLA standard and best-of-breed features.

    All this coupled with more superlative features surely makes Le Max2 an all-rounder
and undoubtedly the leading model in the industry.

    If you don't want to miss the bus, register now for Le Max2! Already underway,
registrations are open till 28 June 1:00 PM followed by the flash sale at 2:00 PM on the
same day.

SHOTOVER Begins Shipping Pre-Orders of its Groundbreaking SHOTOVER U1 Drone and G1 Gimbal

Dozens of Production Companies Around the World to Take Delivery of World's First, Professional Grade Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for Broadcast, Motion Picture, Law Enforcement and Industrial Survey Markets

LOS ANGELES, June 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SHOTOVER, maker of high performance stabilization platforms, announced today it will begin shipping pre-orders of its SHOTOVER U1 drone and G1 gimbal (gimbal from the U1 without the aerial component) to the several dozen customers who have placed deposits for the system. The U1 is the first UAV designed specifically for broadcasters and filmmakers, enabling them to use the same cinema quality cameras and lenses they use for their principal photography. Law enforcement and industrial users can utilize the U1 as a powerful alternative to aircraft-mounted solutions. 

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20130408/LA90105LOGO

Early adopters of the SHOTOVER U1 include some of the highest profile aerial production companies and cinematographers from around the world including Helicopter Film Services (Captain America: Civil War, Spectre, Ex Machina), Active Camera Systems (The Fifth Wave, Jason Bourne, The Wolf of Wall Street), Black-Tek (clients include Audi, BMW, Red Bull, ARRI, Volkswagen and Formula 1), Team5 Aerial Systems (Jurassic World, Furious 7, Transformers 4), Cinemoves (clients include Nike, Kia, Honda, Nissan) and Motion State (clients include AMC, Red Bull, Chevrolet, Nissan). 

Late last month, customers joined SHOTOVER at multi-day demo events in Los Angeles and Munich to put the new systems through their paces and receive hands-on training from company experts. The SHOTOVER U1 and G1 have found extremely broad interest with companies from countries including the U.S., UK, China, France, Germany and Japan all placing pre-orders.

"To say the U1 is in a class of its own doesn't do it justice as there's really nothing else in the same league," said Kevin LaRosa II, pilot / aerial coordinator at Team5 Aerial Systems. "The flight control and gyro-stabilization capabilities are nothing short of amazing and after demoing the U1 we knew we had to add it to our stable of advanced shooting systems. It's Hollywood's new standard for high-impact drone cinematography."

SHOTOVER U1 owners can easily detach the G1 gimbal from the U1's multirotor for use as a gyro-stabilized platform that can be mounted on vehicles, cables and cranes. Other U1 features include redundant flight control and battery systems, customized downlink with two HD video feeds and unparalleled stability even at full zoom.

"The G1 delivers rock solid performance and stability in every situation you can throw at it whether going over 90 mph at full zoom or capturing sweeping, wide-angle vistas," said Thomas Roim, CEO of Black-Tek. "With its incredible portability, unbeatable user design and easy mounting on cars, boats, trucks, cables and cranes, the G1 is the industry's most advanced solution for all types of gyro-stabilized shooting."

"SHOTOVER has created another winner with the G1," said Cinemoves owner Scott Howell. "We are excited to add this powerful option to our rental fleet and look forward to helping clients incorporate the G1 into their high speed stabilized shooting."

"We are incredibly gratified at the intense interest the SHOTOVER U1 and G1 have received since launch and are excited to now begin shipping to our initial group of customers," said Brad Hurndell, CEO of SHOTOVER. "The demo and training sessions went phenomenally well and we look forward to experiencing the amazing images our clients create going forward."

TORRANCE, Calif., June 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- JumpStart®, the leader in learning-based games for kids, today announced the launch of Return to Dragon Island, the latest in their series of School of Dragons expansion packs inspired by the Netflix original series DreamWorksDragons: Race to the Edge. The expansion pack for the massively multiplayer game will feature exciting new dragons and content right from season 3 of the DreamWorks Animation series - which makes its debut on Netflix today and takes viewers on an action-packed journey with the Dragon Riders as they venture beyond the borders of Berk to hunt down rival Vikings like Viggo, Ryker, and their expanded Dragon Hunter army. Return to Dragon Island includes 21 new quests, four new areas, mysterious new dragons like the Singetail, and the introduction of new characters including Valka and Eret from the feature film How to Train Your Dragon2.

TSINOVA Enters International Markets: Hi-Tech Solutions to Urban Congestion

BEIJING, June 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- TSINOVA recently announced its entry into international markets. The company will launch 4 of its Smart Pedelecs: TS01/TF01/TP01/TP02, into the market and bring a fast, convenient, pleasant mobility experience to urban residents around the world. TSINOVA is a hi-tech company. It now sells products in more than 100 cities across China. In the future, it will continue to open new markets and provide consumers the convenient and comfortable experience of TSINOVA Smart Pedelecs which feature advanced technology and minimalist design -- making urban transport more efficient.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160623/383085

Reinventing Bike with Auto Technology

TSINOVA was founded by senior auto designers and engineers. CEO Chen Tengjiao used to work at Infiniti and was in charge of automotive design. Dr. Du Lei, CTO of TSINOVA, had long engaged in auto hybrid technology research at Tsinghua University. With economic growth worldwide, there is increasing demand for mobility. As a result, car use has been on the rise. This, coupled with limited urban road resources, has caused serious traffic congestions and pollution.

To address such problems, Chen Tengjiao and Du Lei founded TSINOVA. The company has developed Smart Pedelecs, a new transport means more suitable for urban mobility. The frame of the Smart Pedelec is based on a bike. Adopting a minimalist design style, Smart Pedelecs are light, flexible and free of the impact of traffic congestions. TSINOVA's Smart Pedelecs are equipped with the company's own VeloUP smart power system. Centering on torque sensors, this system can identify road conditions, automatically judge riding intentions and output different assisting powers under startup, slope climbing, riding against head-winds and other situations to ensure easy mobility.

TSINOVA's Smart Pedelecs are equipped with Panasonic's world-class power lithium battery and battery management system, which is characterized by efficient, stable power output and long battery range. The TSINOVA Smart Pedelec TS01 has a battery range of 50-70km. Users can also use the mobile phone APP equipped on the TSINOVA Smart Pedelec to adjust power assist mode and position the Pedelec to protect against theft. Battery level and other information will be displayed on the APP in real time.

Easy Mobility, Leading Healthy and Green Travel

TSINOVA's Smart Pedelecs are now staging a new wave of adoption of new mobility means. Thanks to a self-adaptive assisted power system, these Smart Pedelecs allow users to go to and off work faster and more conveniently. TSINOVA's Smart Pedelec is battery powered so it emits no exhaust. The TSINOVA Smart Pedelec has a custom designed body, which both ensures a comfortable riding experience with a sleek look. As a hybrid bike, the TSINOVA Smart Pedelec must be pedaled to ride the bike.

The healthy, environment-friendly mobility represented by TSINOVA is attracting more organizations, including many internationally known companies, to join in the drive. At 2016 CES Asia, the BMW brand and TSINOVA reached strategic cooperation to tap into their common electric and smart product features. Through a dedicated bike frame, the BMW i3 will be equipped with the TSINOVA Smart Pedelec TS01. When consumers come across road conditions not suitable for battery powered driving, they can ride their Smart Pedelec TS01 to quickly reach their destinations -- pollution-free and environment-friendly. In June 2016, TSINOVA and top-class luxury hotel Park Hyatt jointly launched "Bike2go" service, which provides resident guests with TSINOVA Smart Pedelecs for a means of quick, dignified mobility.

Borderless Innovation: From China to the world

Following decades of fast growth, China is no longer content with "Made in China". The country has now started to encourage "Created in China" so as to produce more innovative world-class products. In this great tide, TSINOVA is emerging as a star enterprise. Several Chinese senior government leaders have visited and experienced TSINOVA products and praised TSINOVA for its technology innovations. They have also encouraged TSINOVA to make further efforts to solve difficult problems of urban mobility.

In addition to innovative technologies, TSINOVA's Smart Pedelecs also have unique designs. By adopting Bauhaus minimalist styles, these products integrate practicality and artistry into one body and attract attention from many consumers in various countries. At CES 2016 held in Las Vegas, TSINOVA launched its Folding Smart Pedelec TF01. Dealers and consumers from New York, California, Hamburg, Amsterdam and Tokyo had a first-hand experience with TSINOVA products and responded with great enthusiasm. TSINOVA will take part in the bike exhibition in Germany in August 2016 and showcase its 26-inch TP01/TP02. It will also further expand its market share in Europe.

TSINOVA CEO Chen Tengjiao said, "Urban mobility is a problem worldwide. TSINOVA's goal is to provide all-new mobility means to all consumers who need them so that they can commute efficiently and savor the fun of mobility. TSINOVA's current entry into US, European, Japanese and Korean markets is an important step of its corporate strategy. TSINOVA will continue to develop new products and popularize healthy and green urban mobility. When more and more people use TSINOVA Smart Pedelecs, cities will become more habitable."

New 36w LED Bollard Lights with TRUE Type 3 Optics

WORCESTER, Mass., June 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Access Fixtures, an industry leader in LED commercial, industrial, and sports lighting, is announcing the introduction of new 36-watt LED bollard lights with TRUE Type 3 optics. Type 3 optics have long been implemented to maximize the light on the front and sides of a bollard light while limiting light out the back. To date, this was achieved in one of two ways: by implementing a light shield or installing specially molded optics into the borosilicate glass. The shield option degraded the appearance of the bollard light, while the special optics were simply unable to effectively direct the light. Now, using a unique arrangement of LED arrays, Access Fixtures can optimize the directional quality of LEDs to achieve TRUE Type 3 optics. Their new fixtures projects light to the front and sides and lets almost no light escape out the back of the light.

"True Type 3 is a significant advancement in bollard light optics. The light is directed and the appearance of the bollard is unimpeded," says Access Fixtures CEO, Steven Rothschild. "For applications that require light minimal light trespass, these bollards now offer an excellent solution."

In many bollard light applications, light is required to provide safe egress on a walkway, park, or parking area. While these locations need to be lit, any light that pours onto bordering properties or bodies of water is often considered light trespass. True Type 3 LED bollard lights maximize the light in just the right places. Lighting designers, architects, and property managers now have a foolproof way to guarantee light with minimal trespass. For more information contact an Access Fixtures specialist at (800) 468-9925.

About Access Fixtures
Access Fixtures offers commercial and sports lighting for less with LED, induction, PSMH, and CFL light sources that are long-lasting and energy-saving. With custom manufacturing capabilities, Access Fixtures can competitively build and finish luminaires and poles to required performance specifications. Access Fixtures' extensive lineup of interior and exterior lighting fixtures includes those for sports; hospitality applications; and commercial, industrial, and residential lighting. Luminaire types include wall packs, area lights, bollards, garage lighters, vandal resistant, exit and emergency, high bay, T5HO high bay, low bay, linear fluorescent, and grow light fixtures.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio America, Inc. is excited to announce that it has once again returned to one of America's most musical cities and will showcase its extended portfolio of digital pianos, arrangers and keyboards during Summer NAMM 2016 in Nashville, TN. Casio's advanced electronic musical instruments, including the new Celviano Grand Hybrid GP-400, Privia PX-160, CGP-700 Compact Grand Piano, and more will be on display at the company's booth (#431) from June 23(rd) to June 25(th).   

"Casio is extremely excited to be headed to Nashville to showcase its newest digital pianos from an ever-expanding portfolio," said Stephen Schmidt, Vice President of Casio's Electronic Musical Instrument Division. "From our latest introduction - the GP-400 - to our CGP-700 and industry-leading Privia line, Casio is on a mission to provide instruments that make it easy for users to embrace their love of music through ground-breaking technology and innovative design."

GP-400 Grand Hybrid Piano
The GP-400 is the newest addition to the CELVIANO Grand Hybrid line and comes equipped with Casio's AiR Grand Sound Source, which accurately reproduces the complex tone, mechanical sounds, and atmospheric qualities of a grand piano. The GP-400 replicates three world-class pianos with detailed String, Damper, and Aliquot Resonance to convey every acoustic nuance. Additionally, Casio's Natural Grand Hammer Action Keyboard enables even more delicate expression. The GP-400's keys are finished in the same way as a grand piano's, and its multichannel Grand Acoustic system generates a three-dimensional sound field from above and below the soundboard. Through careful positioning of six speakers throughout the instrument's cabinet, the system delivers an immersive atmosphere that recreates the experience of playing and listening to a grand piano.

PRIVIA PX-160
The latest addition to Casio's well-known Privia line of digital pianos is the PX-160, which also features Casio's AiR technology. The multi-dimensional AiR sound generation included in the PX-160 features the sound of a 9-foot concert grand at four dynamic levels. The PX-160 has a redesigned dual 8W speaker system with speakers on the top and rear panels, providing remarkable sound which projects directly towards both the player and the audience. The Privia PX-160 also features left and right 1/4" audio outputs, making it easy for musicians to connect to other devices for external amplification or recording purposes. In addition, the PX-160 utilizes Casio's remarkable Tri-Sensor Scaled Hammer Action II keyboard which features simulated ebony and ivory-textured keys for a realistic piano touch.

CGP-700 Compact Grand Piano
Casio's CGP-700 Compact Grand Piano delivers an authentic piano feel that musicians expect in a grand piano in a more compact design. The CGP-700 features Casio's Tri-Sensor 88-note scaled hammer action keyboard with simulated ebony and ivory keys. The CGP-700 is equipped with Casio's Color Touch Interface(TM), a premium icon-based 5.3" touch display. This bright, clear interface allows musicians to easily choose tones, select rhythms, split and layer sounds. Instrument tones and rhythms - including a meticulously recorded 9-foot concert grand piano - are organized by category for easy selection. Extensive production features, such as USB audio recording, a 17-track MIDI recorder, and class-compliant USB connectivity are also built in. Lastly, the CGP-700 also incorporates a unique six-speaker sound system with 40 watts of total amplification. Four speakers are located in the top of the CGP-700 which provides a powerful stereo experience, and two additional speakers are located in the included wooden stand, in order to handle low frequencies from instruments like the bass and the drums.

Oticon Launches World's First Internet of Things Hearing Aid

LONDON, June 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

          Revolutionary technology includes multi-speaker listening to conquer noisy

                                      environments 

    Oticon [http://www.oticon.co.uk ], industry leaders in advanced audiology and hearing
aid technology, has today announced the launch of Oticon Opn
[http://www.oticon.global/professionals/opn ](TM), the world's first internet connected
hearing aid that opens up a world of possibilities for IoT devices.

(Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160622/382240 )

    With Opn, Oticon introduces a number of 'world firsts':

       
        - TwinLink(TM) - the first dual communication system to combine binaural processing
          with streamer-free, internet connectivity, without compromising battery life or
          physical size.
        - The first listening device compatible with the web-based service IFTTT (If This Then
          That), unlocking a world of potential for connected device communication.
        - Opn revolutionises hearing aid technology with the platform Velox - the first sound
          processing system that allows users to more naturally follow multiple conversations in
          noisy environments without using traditional directionality.

    The Internet of Things That Matter 

    With Opn, it is now possible to program hearing aids to talk directly with door bells,
smoke detectors and baby alarms. Opn is the first hearing aid that connects to and
interacts with the Internet.

    With Opn, Oticon champions an "Internet of Things that matter", where devices and
services people depend on for their health and safety join today's more entertainment and
convenience-oriented offerings. That's why the company is launching project ON, a new
technology that makes its latest-generation hearing aids Oticon Opn part of the Internet
of Things through the online service If This Then That (ifttt.com).

    "With Opn we've taken a giant leap forward - for both hearing aids and the Internet of
Things," said Soren Nielsen, President of Oticon A/S. "The potential of IoT is vast, but
on a consumer level we've largely seen devices that focus on convenience. With Opn, the
Internet of Things starts to matter - you could say that this will change people's lives."

    Advanced listening technology 

    Alongside this connectivity, Oticon has made giant strides with Opn's core function as
a listening device. Powered by the ultra-fast Velox platform, Opn overcomes a challenge
that even the most advanced solutions of today can't solve - the ability to handle noisy
environments with multiple speakers. Through the use of precise sound analysis performed
over 100 times a second, important sound such as speech can be located from any direction,
with background noise deemphasised for optimum clarity.

    "Oticon has always been about audiology and technology working in harmony, and with
Opn we're introducing new and groundbreaking technology to address real issues that affect
those with hearing loss," said Soren Nielsen. "Opn opens up a whole new world of sound,
allowing users to manage multiple speakers in difficult situations such as dinner
conversations, and to benefit from technological advances that were previously out of
reach. Opn can make a real difference to the lives of people, young and old, who suffer
from hearing loss."

    For more information, please visit Oticon.global/Opn [http://www.oticon.global/Opn ]

Fandromeda Goes Beyond Cricket With Football and Kabaddi Fantasy Leagues

BANGALORE, June 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    While there are numerous sites offering Fantasy Cricket in India, other sports have so
far been by and large ignored. Fandromeda, the fantasy sports portal that was launched a
few months back, plans to set this right with brand new fantasy games covering the Euro
2016 as well as this Pro Kabaddi season.

well as earn points in the 'Fandromeda Fan of the Year' contest, where the winner gets an

Fandromeda, said, "As far as we are concerned, a sports fan is a sports fan, and will
enjoy watching any good sport. While I agree that cricket is our national obsession, in
the last few years, there has been increasing interest in other sports like Football,
Kabaddi and Badminton. So we want to offer fans the chance to enhance their enjoyment of
these sports too with our fantasy games."

    About Fandromeda: 

    Fandromeda was launched in March 2016 by TenTenTen Digital Products, the company that
had created the very popular Official IPL Fantasy League. The site has so far picked up

ONTARIO, Calif., June 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Yuneec International, the world leader in electric aviation, today announced the award-winning Typhoon H with Intel RealSense Technology is now available for preorder at a suggested retail price of $1,899.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160621/382132

First shipments to customers will begin within four weeks. Customers will receive their Typhoon H with a factory installed Intel RealSense R200 Camera and Intel Atom((TM)) processor, an ST16 controller with a Wizard controller for dual operator mode, two batteries, and extra propellers, all packed in a custom designed backpack. Most recently demonstrated live at CES Asia, Intel RealSense Technology enables Typhoon H to fly autonomously, intelligently navigating around objects, taking safety and customers' creative options to the next level.

As installed on Typhoon H, the Intel RealSense R200 Camera and the quad core Intel Atom processor module work seamlessly with the flight control firmware to add intelligent obstacle navigation. With a combination of specialized cameras and sensors, this Intel system maps and learns its environment in 3D, recognizing each obstacle, planning an alternative route and safely navigating around it. This is a major advancement over ultra-sonic collision prevention, which automatically stops Typhoon H short of obstacles, but cannot model the environment or intelligently reroute around obstacles. The module also adds downward facing sensors to improve stability, enabling flight indoors or outdoors close to the ground, even with poor GPS reception.

"Intelligent navigation and obstacle avoidance in complex environments powered by Intel RealSense Technology expands creative possibilities and enhances safety for our customers," said Yu Tian, chief executive officer of Yuneec International. "Now, users can confidently operate Typhoon H with RealSense Technology in a wide variety of environments that previously required highly-technical piloting."

Intel and Yuneec announced a $60M investment in August of 2015 for product collaboration. The first collaboration was to power the ST16 ground station, which employs the Intel Atom processor. The second product collaboration comes to market by way of Intel RealSense Technology.

"At Intel, we're always looking to open up creative possibilities through technology," said Anil Nanduri, Intel's vice president and general manager of unmanned aviation systems within the New Technology Group. "By equipping the Yuneec Typhoon H with Intel RealSense Technology, drone pilots can worry less about obstacles that may impede those creative possibilities, and focus more on their flight path and camera work."

Yuneec announced the expansion of its Typhoon series with the unveiling of Typhoon H at the 2016 CES in Las Vegas. Typhoon H is equipped with six rotors and a 360-degree gimbal, which allows unlimited panning for breathtaking 4K videos and 12 megapixel stills with the all-new CGO3+ camera. In addition, the landing gear retracts during flight to seamlessly remove itself from the shot for unobstructed views. Typhoon H also has a variety of flight and image capturing modes, including Point of Interest, Orbit Me, Curve Cable Cam, Journey Mode, and Team Mode for film and photography teams. Innovative new safety features include ultrasonic proximity detection to assist in avoiding large obstacles, which is operational when Intel RealSense Technology is inactive, and a six-rotor safety failsafe system, which allows Typhoon H to remain stable and land if a motor should fail.

A separately available Intel RealSense Technology module for Typhoon H owners will be released in the near future.

Typhoon H is designed with the creative consumer in mind, with features such as user-friendly design, including quick disconnect props that allow speedy removal from the motors, and rotor arms that quickly fold down for easy and compact transportation using a custom-designed backpack. Carbon fiber is used extensively to decrease weight while increasing durability. Typhoon H comes with the professional quality Android-based ST16 controller, which has a large 7-inch integrated touchscreen display and HD 720p video downlink for stunning real-time video reception, a great improvement on having to connect an iPad or iPhone to a separate controller.

Typhoon H with Intel RealSense Technology is available for $1,899 at retailers and online at http://www.yuneec.com.

360fly Challenges Consumers To Broaden Perspectives With Politically Charged National Advertising Campaign

Satirical, Futuristic Look at Border Wall, Showcases New 360fly 4K Camera's Ability to Capture and Experience Every Perspective

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., June 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- 360fly, Inc., maker of the category-leading, single-lens camera that captures stitchless 360-degree video, today unveiled a satirical advertisement in support of its recently released 4K immersive 360-degree video camera. The spot satirizes the current political landscape and features actors portraying the three most-prominent presidential candidates, utilizing the widely debated border wall concept as its primary focal point. The campaign is scheduled to begin on June 23.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160621/381648

The fictional futuristic satire is set in a desert landscape at the foot of the newly constructed border wall, where a rally takes place to celebrate the wall's construction. While a President Trump look-a-like stands at the podium, delivering a triumphant declaration, a blogger in attendance utilizes the 360fly 4K 360-degree video camera to record the event and in doing so, captures much more than merely the Presidential address. 

The blogger's finger swipes across the screen of his mobile device, panning across the 360-degree video frame to reveal the end of a tunnel that's been dug under the wall behind the President. There, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders look-a-likes are assisting Mexican immigrants out of the tunnel, that have successfully made their way under the wall and on to U.S. soil. Focused firmly on delivering his triumphant address, and claiming the wall is "impenetrable," the President remains oblivious to the activity, taking place behind him as Mexican immigrants continue to emerge from the tunnel. The spot resolves with message  "Get a broader perspective. Miss Nothing." The spot can be seen via the link provided here: https://youtu.be/CVvPPQ3SvAQ

"People are inherently driven to take a side, adopting a very narrow and singular point of view where politics are concerned, and that's exactly what the camera industry has done for quite a while now," said Peter Adderton, CEO for 360fly. "This spot acts like a metaphor for the camera industry and showcases how 360fly allows you to break out of that singular focus and capture and relive experiences from every possible point of view."

The campaign was created by international creative agency, 180LA, and directed by seasoned director, Mike Maguire. Production for the spot was handled by MJZ, considered the most dominant and highly decorated production company in the commercial advertising business. The spot was filmed by three-time Academy Award-Winning cinematographer, Bob Richardson, well known for being the go-to man behind the camera for Quentin Tarantino's award-winning feature films, including Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds.

MBMG will be managing all strategic planning and buying across multiple media channels for the June 23 campaign launch. MBMG has developed a digital media plan utilizing popular platform that reached 360fly's young, active and predominantly male demographic.

The campaign is designed to leverage news of the revolutionary new 360fly 4K camera, expanded retail presence and satirical creative spot to generate immediate sales as well as brand awareness of 360fly and how the innovative, game-changing camera and app alter the landscape of 360° video. Key digital tactics include high impact video presence and sequential messaging to generate strong awareness and sales conversion. There will also be social media and search marketing platforms. The plan also features takeovers on key consumer tech and lifestyle websites around launch and continues with a strong retargeting effort to ultimately drive retail sales.

The 360fly® 4K camera, available for $499 http://www.360fly.com, pairs with a free iOS and Android mobile app which allows users to conveniently shoot, edit and share content to popular social media channels such as YouTube and Facebook. The 360fly 4K camera adds a powerful new image sensor that nearly quadruples the resolution of the original 360fly HD camera, shooting in 2880x2880. The waterproof* 360fly 4K camera offers advanced features such as live streaming, front-facing POV mode, time-lapse mode, telemetry and has an expanded internal memory of 64GB. 

360fly, the 360+Fly Design Logo, and the Fly Logo are trademarks of 360fly, Inc. Other company and product or service names are trademarks or service marks of their respective owners.

Waves Audio Launches Nx Head Tracker via Kickstarter Campaign to Make the Immersive 3D Audio Experience a Reality

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., June 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Earlier this year, Waves Audio announced Nx, a groundbreaking software technology that applies panoramic audio imaging to stereo headphones, opening the door to applications in virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D mixing and much more. Waves Nx lets users hear the same natural depth, natural reflections, and panoramic imaging heard from speakers in a physical room, but on headphones. With Waves Nx, music, movies and games are heard in a revolutionary way as they take on a new dimension of immersive 3D reality - and it all happens inside the headphones you already own. Waves has decided to put significant R&D emphasis on Nx to further develop the technology. Now Waves is reaching out to the audio community to get involved via a Kickstarter campaign beginning June 22. Kickstarter is a way for audio enthusiasts to grab an early stake in this revolutionary set of tools. To join the campaign, please visit http://waves.com/kickstarter.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160621/382096

Waves is the recipient of a Technical GRAMMY(®) Award and the world-leading developer of audio DSP technologies. For over two decades, Waves has pioneered the development of psychoacoustic signal processing algorithms that leverage cutting-edge knowledge of human hearing and perception in order to radically improve perceived sound quality.

The perception of spatial sound is a complex phenomenon. It combines the interactions between acoustic sound waves and a room or space, the interaction between the sound waves and the physical movement of our head and ears, the reaction of our middle and inner ear and the audio nerve, and finally our brain's cognition and interpretation of the acoustic landscape.

The perception of sound over headphones is a completely different experience. Waves Nx bridges the gap by recreating, on headphones, the same auditory cues that reach our ears in the real world. One of the ways it does this is by tracking the user's head position and positioning the sound in the user's headphones to match the way the user would hear it in the real world. Waves Nx tracks the actual movements of the user's head, rendering the slightest nuances that create a real, dynamic and variable sensory experience - appropriately positioning the audio in the left and right headphones to simulate movement through a three-dimensional audio space.

Recently, Waves successfully launched the first product in the Nx family - the Nx Virtual Mix Room plugin, a "virtual monitoring" tool that recreates on headphones the ideal acoustics of a high-end mix room, allowing audio professionals to make better mixing and recording decisions on headphones. Since its release, the Nx Virtual Mix Room plugin has won unanimous acclaim. The next Nx tool coming to market (expected release in September) is the Nx Head Tracker, a small Bluetooth device that latches on to any pair of headphones, tracks the user's head movements, and communicates with the Nx software. The Nx Head Tracker can be used together with the Nx Virtual Mix Room plugin, or with the soon-to-be-released Waves Nx application, which will allow all consumers to experience 3D audio on their computers and mobile devices. With the help of the audio community via the Kickstarter campaign, Waves will expand its development of Nx, with the goal of heightening the senses and changing the way we all hear the world.

VPT Adds Industrial Level VHR Series DC-DC Converter Line

BLACKSBURG, Va., June 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- VPT, Inc. (VPT®), a HEICO company (NYSE:HEI.A) (NYSE:HEI), today released the VHR Series of industrial level DC-DC converters and EMI filters. Available in models ranging from 5 to 100 watts, the VHR Series of DC-DC converters provides customers with VPT's renowned levels of product reliability for powering non-flight-critical programs in military, avionics, and unmanned systems as well as manufacturing equipment and controls.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160622/382306

"Engineers aren't looking for a 'one converter fits all' solution, so VPT supplies a wide range of high reliability standard products that best match specific application requirements," said VP of Sales and Marketing, Monty Pyle. "Just as space programs utilize converters designed for rigid MIL specs and radiation exposure, programs on the other end of the spectrum are aligned to solutions, like the VHR Series, that are cost effective and highly reliable without requiring the extensive environmental screening that is necessary for flight-critical programs." 

The VHR Series design leverages VPT's decades of experience in proven military, aerospace and defense solutions. For budget-driven programs, the series offers a wide input voltage range for nominal 28 volt input, an average 85% efficiency and low input and output ripple for reliable operational success, even in rugged environments.

Designed to operate at full-load over a wide temperature range of -40°C to +100°C, the VHR Series also offers fixed frequency operation, soft-start, magnetic feedback, inhibit and current-limit protection. Additionally, the VHR Series includes companion EMI filters ranging from 1 to 20 amps.

Ballot Barrage--a Whimsical Gag-political Aerial Shooter from Code-Monkeys

A Mobile Game for the Ardent Patriot

NEWBERG, Ore., June 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- As the rotorwash of your vigilant warhawk kicks up the sweet aroma of crackling bacon, a gleeful squeal breaks the deafening silence - a lone ham hock makes a mad dash for the foyer of the capitol rotunda. You impulsively light up the now dystopian pre-dawn landscape with a deluge of pitiless ordnance. Democracy has failed you. It has failed your hatchlings.

It's time to vote with your trigger finger...

Corralled around the current 2016 US Presidential Election Primary Calendar, Ballot Barrage is a whimsical gag-political aerial shooter mobile game overcrowded by a tidal wave of smarmy barnyard baby-kissers. Armed to the wattle with a generous arsenal of Fear, Surprise, and Ruthless Efficiency, you circle the capitol in your mighty Gunship of Righteous Indignation and selectively thin the herd with the judicious fury of an ardent patriot, hell-bent on turning the political tide.

See the Ballot Barrage Press Kit for more information.

Code-Monkeys is a full-service mobile application and web development company from Newberg, Oregon. We create products that solve problems, effect change, and grow businesses.

Tivoli Audio Releases Limited Edition PAL BT Glo - Illuminated Portable Radio

BOSTON, June 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Tivoli Audio releases limited edition portable Bluetooth radio that is as fun as it is functional. The PAL(BT) Glo is a clear frosted LED illuminated version of the company's popular portable radio, the PAL(BT). "Light and sound are two traits that have been pleasuring our senses and illuminating our imagination for as long as we can remember, so we decided to mix these two traits together to create the PAL(BT) Glo," says Paul DePasquale, VP of Development. The new take on the classic product doesn't stop with the LED lights, which are adjustable to set the right mood; they also added a leather carry strap to make the unit truly portable. "This is a perfect summertime item, which allows you to take your music whenever and wherever you want, and to share music with family and friends," says DePasquale.

The PAL(BT) Glo will be a limited edition batch, only producing 5000 pieces worldwide, and each unit will be individually numbered. The PAL(BT) Glo is the first product release we have seen from Tivoli Audio this year, as they are planning to announce a new series of products late summer of 2016.

PAL(BT) GLO Features

    --  Adjustable LED illumination provides just the right amount of light.
    --  Portability built right in with a leather carry handle and up to 10
        hours of play back via the included NiMH battery pack
    --  Switch it on and wirelessly connect via Bluetooth to start playing
        without complicated set up.
    --  AM/FM analog tuner, Bluetooth streaming, and Auxiliary input so you can
        play music from any source
    --  Weather-resistant housing to stand up to any environment
    --  Exceptional sound from 2.5" treated full range long-throw driver
Pricing and Availability
The PAL(BT) Glo will be available June 2016 from Tivoli Audio (http://www.tivoliaudio.com) for $199.99.
