Cambridge Sound Management Raises the Bar with New Active Sound Masking, Paging, and Music Solution.

The new Qt® Active Emitter leverages direct-field technology to deliver a powerful all-in-one sound masking, office paging, and background music system for commercial facilities.

WALTHAM, Mass., June 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambridge Sound Management, the world's largest provider of sound masking technology, announced today a new direct-field sound masking solution that combines high performance sound masking with enhanced paging and music capabilities.

The new Qt Active Emitter brings power to the barely visible emitter, allowing for louder paging and music playback through the award winning sound masking system.  Downward facing from the ceiling, the Qt Active Emitter delivers the most uniform and consistent sound masking performance on the market. Paging and music reproduction is clear and therefore highly intelligible due to the direct distribution of sound into the office space.

"We believe a combined active sound masking, paging, and music system delivers on our promise of excellent performance, superior quality, and ease of installation, will resonate well with our customers and integration partners." says Christopher Calisi, CEO of Cambridge Sound Management. "Our direct-field technology puts us in a great position to help companies combine audio solutions, and ultimately save money."

The Qt Active Emitter also introduces a wider sound masking frequency range and enables audio consultants to customize to their specifications.  The Qt Active Emitter works with the current line-up of Qt 300 and Qt 600 control modules, and new firmware allows for precise control as well as web-based management from any device. 

"The simplicity of our QtPro sound masking systems is often cited by our installation partners as a competitive advantage. We developed a custom power supply and power injector to bring more power to the emitter, while allowing us to leverage existing QtPro control modules, cables, and most mounting accessories." Says Mitch Nollman, VP of Sales. "We're excited to introduce the Qt Active Emitter at InfoComm in Las Vegas this summer." 

The new Qt Active Emitter will be available to order in late Q3 2016.  For more information visit cambridgesound.com/news/activeemitter or call 800.219.8199.

LeEco Set to Revolutionize Audio Technology for Smartphones

BANGALORE and NEW DELHI, June 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    What Makes LeEco's Pioneering CDLA Technology Superior? 

    When it comes to audio technology, the 3.5mm headphone jack is one of the older
survivors. While the audio players have changed from cassettes, CDs, MP3 to hi-fi players,
the audio jack has remained all the same. It is still in the analog era where the 3.5 mm
headphone jack rules the roost. Since then, the audio standard used to listen to music has
been more or less the same. The 3.5mm headphone jack tracks its origin in 19th century. It
is a miniaturized version of the erstwhile quarter-inch jack (6.35mm) standard that was
used by telephone switchboard operators. It's for sure that some incremental changes have
taken place over the course of such a long period but the evolution was more of a cosmetic
one than in substance. However, user expectation from music experience on smartphones has
grown exponentially, with the growing consumption of data on-the-go.

    Over the years, Walkman gave way to headphones which were lighter and made music
mobile, giving way to the portable era. Since then headphones became sportier with round
ear clips to stay put during exercise. Then these headphones were coated with large
plastic coated cups aimed to block out noise. The next phase of evolution saw the arrival
of the iPod with a set of basic white ear buds. Essentially, the audio jack has been
around with little, incremental and cosmetic changes since those days. But with digital
audio quality getting better and smartphones getting smarter and thinner, the jack is
overdue for a replacement.

    The audio jack has fallen far behind other components like the USB-C connector, which
can handle high-throughput data transfers as well as charge larger machines like laptops.
With the digital connection available via USB Type-C, headphone designers can integrate
the digital-to-analog converter and amplifier right into their headphones, ensuring
consistent quality across devices.

    With the growth in content consumption on the go, millennials demand that the overall
experience - audio and video is comprehensive in nature. Therefore, the experience of not
only how content is viewed but also heard on a smartphone becomes critical and an area
that most smartphone manufacturers have not shifted their focus on.

    Making this change possible is global Internet ecosystem conglomerate, LeEco that has
announced that it will hold a launch event on June 8, 2016 with a theme '2Future'. This
has thrown wild speculations about the company launching its next generation Superphones
that might have USB Type-C standard for plugging in our headphones.

    LeEco has already launched its Superphones in China that comes with CDLA (Continual
Digital Lossless Audio) standard Type-C interface for a revolutionary music experience,
which made LeEco the world's first to initiate the CDLA standard in smartphones. Most of
the time, music in the audio jack get lost in transition. There are many problems in
analog audio like interface noise, compatibility problem, poor sound field, noise from
connector and so on. No matter how good the performance of the drive circuit is, as long
as 3.5mm jack is used, there will always be inevitable losses happening. Coupled with the
fact that users may use various earphones, it is just impossible to achieve real
integration between the phone and the earphone. The new CDLA standard will erase all these
problems and dramatically improve the audio quality. The CDLA music standard is all set to
redefine audio experience in smartphones with its breakthrough technology, intelligence
and an ecosystem revolution.

Gamania Group Relocates Headquarters to Neihu

New office design reflects "Open & Limitless" core concept of a comprehensive ecological Internet enterprise

TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 3, Gamania Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. (hereafter referred to as "Gamania Group") announced its official "logout" of Zhonghe headquarters and "login" to its new location in Neihu. "We chose to relocate to the tech-thriving Neihu Science Park as the community here would closely connect with our continually expanding services as a comprehensive ecological Internet business," said Gamania Group CEO Albert Liu. "In the future, we will be compiling affiliate resources with our open and limitless working space, so that we'll not just have a good game, but also have a good time!"

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160606/375648

Liu's digital empire began in 1995 as an online games content provider, and gradually developed other areas of business such as online payment, e-commerce, new media and crowdfunding, spanning across transnational markets in China, Japan, Korea, Europe, and the Americas.

Bringing a fresh breath of air to Neihu with innovative startup services

Always daring to be disruptively innovative, Gamania Group started as a digital entertainment content provider and further expanded its scope into a new era of digital lifestyle, including game point seller GASH, e-commerce platform Jollywiz, new media Coture and crowdfunding platform WeBackers. Gamania Group also recently soft-launched a new third-party payment service called "Gama Pay", becoming the first-ever company in Taiwan to exclusively provide online payment services. In the first phase of the soft launch, the service opened its doors to the employees of Gamania Group, and attracted nearly 80% of the employees to download the service in only two weeks' time. In the second phase, which will kick off after the relocation of the group's headquarters, Gama Pay plans to ultimately provide customers with a safe and convenient online payment experience.

"It's a very important year for us," Liu remarked. "The soft launch of Gama Pay has kicked off, with its second phase aiming to make our services available to more businesses. Moving forward, we will continue to offer innovative services, bringing passion and life to Neihu Science Park. We also hope for opportunities to partner with other companies in the community, and through the tying of resources, work together to bring Internet technology industry in Taiwan to a new level."

With the concept of "Open and Limitless" in mind, the new Gamania Group Neihu headquarters was planned by L&L Interiors Inc., the same studio that helped the interior fit-out office space of well-known enterprises such as Google, Heineken, Ogilvy & Mather and Sony Mobile, incorporating the transparent, open style of modern-day technology companies to fashion a well-lighted and spacious working environment. Communal space -- from the first floor lobby, the "Gamania Brand Museum" to the co-working space on each floor -- all share the same "open plan" ambience, creating contemporary, limitless working spaces for the employees of Gamania Group to unleash their creativity and ideas. To respect the personal privacy of its employees, the new headquarters also features nursing rooms and phone booths for working mothers and those who have the need for private conversing spaces.

What's more, the employee restaurant "Gama Island" and fitness center that already existed at Gamania Group's old headquarters in Zhonghe, are now even bigger in Neihu, encouraging employees to maintain a healthy diet and attain work-life balance. With support and assistance from New Taipei City and Taipei City Governments to improve working environments for local businesses, the employee child care center "Gama Garden" and U-bike station will also be relocated to Neihu, implementing the enterprise's promise to let all employees enjoy their work and personal lives.

Gamanians ride 25-KM biking challenge from Zhonghe to Neihu

On the day before its official move to Neihu, nearly one hundred Gamania employees mounted on their bikes and rode 25-KM from the old headquarters in Zhonghe to the new headquarters in Neihu, celebrating the relocating and displaying their passion and anticipation of a brand new working space in a healthy, self-surpassing way -- riding together into a new and good life!

Mentor Graphics Offers Tanner Calibre One Verification Suite for the Tanner Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design Environment

WILSONVILLE, Ore., June 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mentor Graphics® Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the Tanner Calibre One IC verification suite as an integral part of the Tanner(TM) analog/mixed-signal (AMS) physical design environment, creating an easy path to the proven capabilities of Calibre® verification tools for Tanner EDA's user base. This results in a dramatically-improved IC design and verification solution for Tanner customers by providing tightly-integrated access to Calibre's physical and circuit verification, exclusively within the Tanner L-Edit(TM) layout environment.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160603/375466LOGO

The Calibre platform is the industry-leader for physical verification and is qualified for sign-off by every major IC foundry and the Tanner Calibre One verification suite uses the same Calibre design kits. Customers that already have stand-alone Calibre licenses, and would like to consider the Tanner design environment, can continue to use the pre-existing Calibre-Tanner interfaces. However, offering an additional, custom integration between Calibre and the Tanner AMS IC design flow provides an invaluable option for Tanner IC designers, giving design teams the access they need to confidently tape out their designs.

"We've seen a dramatic increase in the productivity of our layout team thanks to the seamless interaction of L-Edit and the Tanner Calibre One verification suite," said Stefan Lauxtermann, President of Sensor Creations Inc. "Our customers greatly value that we employ Calibre and that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the final DRC by the foundry and the Tanner design process that we use."

The Tanner Calibre One verification suite includes the following products:

    --  Calibre nmDRC(TM) (hierarchical design rule checking) ensures the
        physical layout can be manufactured. This industry-leading tool provides
        fast cycle times and innovative design rule capabilities.
    --  Calibre nmLVS(TM) (hierarchical layout versus schematic) checks that the
        physical layout is electrically and topographically the same as the
        schematic. It improves designer productivity by providing actual device
        geometry measurement and sophisticated interactive debugging
        capabilities to ensure accurate verification.
    --  Calibre xRC(TM) (parasitic extraction) verifies that layout-dependent
        effects do not adversely affect the electrical performance of the
        design, delivering accurate parasitic data for comprehensive and
        accurate post-layout analysis and simulation.
In addition, the Calibre RVE(TM) tool brings the solution together, providing a graphical results viewing environment that reduces debug time by visually identifying design issues instantly and cross-selecting the associated issue in Tanner's layout and schematic capture tool.

The Tanner IC design suite supports analog, mixed-signal, and MEMS design in one complete, highly-integrated, end-to-end flow. Designers capture the schematic, perform analog and mixed-signal simulation, and lay out the physical design within this unified flow. With the addition of the Tanner Calibre One verification suite, each designer using the Tanner IC flow can interactively invoke an individual Calibre tool in order to verify the design.

"Tanner Calibre One gives designers using L-Edit the highest confidence possible that their tape outs will be successful," says Greg Lebsack, General Manager of Tanner operations at Mentor Graphics. "We are thrilled that key capabilities of the industry-leading Calibre suite are now available to everyone in our global Tanner customer base."

The Tanner Calibre One design flow will be demonstrated at the 2016 Design Automation Conference (DAC) in the Tanner EDA booth (#1828).

LeEco All Set to Lead in the Battle of Processor

BANGALORE and NEW DELHI, June 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    First came the landline telephone era, then the feature phone era and subsequently the
smartphone era. The primary reason that smartphones have bettered over their erstwhile
incarnation, landline telephones is because of the processor. And again the difference
between basic handsets and a smartphone is mainly due to an upgraded processor. The era
from 'no processor' to 'powerful processor' has been made possible as brands kept adding
processing power to their devices to meet the evolving needs and higher aspirations of
buyers.

    India is the second largest smartphone market after China. A large segment of people
are undergoing the transition phase of upgrading from feature phones to smartphones. This
aspiring class loves quick and fast solutions for their problems. Brands have made it a
point that their next gen smartphone should be faster than their previous avatar. LeEco's
next gen superphones come with a super fast processor which ensures the smooth
multitasking on the phone and supports the streaming of high quality content.

    Brands also realised that apart from speed, they need to be a superpower to win the
smartphone battle. Not in a literal sense, but by packing a powerful processor in their
glamorous smartphone. And LeEco has won the battle now because it poses the superpower

with the amount of processing power available under the hood. So be it listening to music
and checking mails, or sending messages and downloading an app, the super-powered
processor would do it all in a jiffy. One such powerful processor that we might expect
next week is from LeEco that is likely to launch its next generation superphones on June 8,
2016.

    The company's disruptive technology and business model is rewriting the rules of the
smartphone industry in India. The company is seeing rapid growth, driven by an
ever-increasing consumer demand for its superproducts, the launch of new products, and its
disruptive pricing.

Ricoh adds compatibility, flexibility to uniquely portable business videoconferencing system

Cross-platform compatibility embraces ease of use that has made unified communication system line a hit

MALVERN, Pa., June 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh announced today a new solution that embraces the diverse nature of collaborative efforts that drive the new world of work and will be on display at InfoComm16 in the Ricoh booth, N647. The RICOH Unified Communication System P3500M builds on the successes of its predecessors to enable collaboration and communication between this portable, all-in-one system and any WebRTC-compatible platform.

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

Using the P3500M, organizations can achieve new levels of collaboration. Employees can connect and collaborate with colleagues, customers and partners on the road or around the world, via real-time HD video and audio, and screen sharing, regardless of which WebRTC-supportive system they are using.

A great addition to organizations that already have unified communication systems in place, the P3500M works seamlessly within multivendor environments, adding a level of portability not often seen in a market commonly associated with high-end, room-based systems. The P3500M, similar to the RICOH Unified Communication System P3500, is about the size of a laptop and just as versatile. The 3.5-pound device includes an HD camera, microphone and speakers that fit inside a soft-sided carrying case. Boasting the same simple startup as the P3500, the P3500M can be unpacked, plugged in, connected and made entirely ready in about 60 seconds. Additionally, its 2.0 megapixel camera includes a 125-degree wide-angle lens that can easily take in several participants in the room. Mobile workers can stay connected no matter what WebRTC-supportive platforms their collaborators are using.

"With this line of unified communication systems, we have always stressed the importance of ease of use and the ability to take the system wherever you need it," said John Brophy, Vice President, Product Marketing, Ricoh USA, Inc. "The logical extension of that is to make it easy to take your P3500M wherever you need it - even if that's into a multivendor environment, where collaborators are using different communication systems. The future of work is in breaking down silos to enhance collaboration, and that includes breaking down silos preventing communication products from helping our customers to the fullest."

The RICOH Unified Communication System P3500M can support numerous locations using a variety of collaboration technologies, with the ability to display nine locations simultaneously. The system includes business-class security features, such as encrypted data streams over wireless networks.

The RICOH Unified Communication System P3500M will be available in the summer at a suggested retail price of $2,639 plus subscription fee.

To experience Ricoh's interactive collaboration solutions in person, visit the Ricoh booth, N647 at the upcoming InfoComm16 show.

WILSONVILLE, Ore., June 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the latest release of the Catapult(®) Platform that decreases the hardware design time from the design start to register transfer level (RTL) verification closure by 50 percent compared to traditional hand-coded RTL. Existing High-Level Synthesis (HLS) methodologies improve design and verification productivity up to 10X; however, the time required to close verification on the resulting RTL can potentially wipe out these gains. This release of the Catapult Platform unifies HLS with a proven verification methodology and new tools that enable rapid and predictable RTL verification closure based on C++/SystemC-level verification closure--a major step toward C++/SystemC signoff.

NVIDIA(®) reports on their HLS design and verification success in the recent case study entitled Working Smarter, Not Harder: NVIDIA Closes Design Complexity Gap with High-Level Synthesis. "By adopting a C++ High-Level synthesis (HLS) flow using Catapult from Mentor Graphics, NVIDIA was able to simplify their code by 5X, reduce the number of CPUs required for regression testing by 1000X, and run 1000X more tests to achieve higher functional coverage of their designs. HLS decreased design time by 50 percent..." write authors Frans Sijstermans and JC Li. "The success of the video team's application of HLS resulted in its adoption company-wide for all new NVIDIA designs.  When it comes to working smarter, not harder, HLS is the way to go."

Industry-first HLS (C++/SystemC) formal property checker
This latest Catapult release introduces an industry first, the Catapult formal-based C Property Checker (CPC) tool, which automatically finds bugs prior to synthesis, saving days or weeks of verification debugging time. CPC uses formal analysis to automatically identify and formally prove hard-to-find issues like uninitialized memory, divide by 0, and array bounds errors in the users' HLS C++/SystemC model (HLSM). In addition to automatic checks, CPC also formally prove user-written assertions and cover points which complement dynamic simulation providing comprehensive verification of the HLSM.

100 percent RTL coveragefaster
The latest Catapult release also facilitates easier, faster and more predictable RTL verification closure. It achieves this by removing RTL redundancies, adding new RTL test pins, and synthesizing user assertions and cover points in the HLSM into SVA (SystemVerilog Assertions). To reach functional coverage closure more quickly, Catapult also generates a complete RTL test environment that re-uses the user's C++/SystemC testbench comparing to the original HLSM, to automatically verify that the simulation results are equivalent. To achieve 100 percent RTL structural/code coverage more quickly, Catapult works with the Questa(®) CoverCheck tool in a seamless flow to quickly find and automatically generate waivers for unreachable code that can be safely ignored. For reachable code, the flow enables the user to quickly understand in generated waveforms what is needed for the HLSM to quickly close any remaining holes. This methodology enables verification to reach 100 percent RTL coverage closure in days after the HLSM is verified.

Enabling HLS standards and ecosystem
This release of Catapult HLS advances the standardization of the HLSM language by fully supporting the new Accellera SystemC Synthesizable Subset. In addition, Catapult supports Algorithmic C (AC) Datatypes for arbitrary-length, bit-accurate integers and fixed-point datatypes which provide static bit-precision and fast simulation time needed for both formal and dynamic tools. Mentor has now made AC Datatypes open source and 100% compatible with the SystemC Synthesis standard. Mentor will also be donating them to Accellera for standardization.

HLS Vision of C++/SystemC sign-off
"With increased pressure to deliver more functionality with fewer resources, it is imperative that the design flow change to achieve substantially more productivity," said Badru Agarwala, Mentor Graphics General Manager, Calypto Systems Division.  "Our vision is the completion of the HLS ecosystem, giving RTL designers the tools and methodologies they are familiar with to enable them to move to SystemC/C++ signoff. Achieving 100 percent RTL coverage, the HLS standards, and the industry first C++/SystemC formal property tool are major steps towards that vision."

http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20150818/8521505364LOGO

RS Components is now stocking this world-first test solution from FLIR, which features a 2.0-inch colour TFT in the handset that shows hotspots detected using FLIR's IGM(TM) (Infrared Guided Measurement) thermal-imaging technology. Using this feature, electricians can quickly and safely diagnose faults without coming into contact with wiring or components, or find the true causes of faults in unexpected places. For instance, a faulty motor controller may be suspected of causing an equipment failure, but the FLIR CM174 may identify an overheating motor or a loose connection. Electricians facing cluttered wires or scanning complex panels for hazards can work at a safe distance, using IGM to show the anomalies without reaching into the panel.

The FLIR CM174 captures a 38.6" x 50" field of view and presents a thermal image of 480-pixels resolution and temperature range -25 degrees Celsius to 150 degrees Celsius. A built-in laser and cross hairs guide the user to items in the field of view.

This thermal-imaging capability augments the FLIR CM174's high-performing clamp meter, which has a narrow, 35mm, jaw opening and is able to measure currents up to 600A at voltages up to 1000V. A built-in light aids use in challenging conditions such as confined spaces inside wiring cabinets. Clamp measurement modes include True RMS, LoZ, VFD Mode, Inrush, and Smart Diode with Disable. If needed, users can extend the FLIR CM174's measurement range up to 3000 Amps AC with FLIR FLEX accessories.

The FLIR CM174 thermal imaging clamp meter is in stock at RS for immediate dispatch. Please visit the website at au.rs-online.com for more information.

sureCore Delivers 40nmULP Memory Compiler

Opens up new power-critical possibilities for IoT applications

SHEFFIELD, England, June 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- sureCore Ltd., the low power SRAM IP leader, today announced the immediate availability of its TSMC 40nmULP process technology memory compiler.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160601/374452-INFO

The new compiler facilitates utilization of sureCore's recently announced 40nm Ultra Low Voltage SRAM IP that effectively operates at a record-setting 0.6V across process voltage and temperature.

The new 40nm ULP compiler supports synchronous single port SRAM with operating voltages ranging from 0.6 to 1.21 volts and memory capacities ranging from 8Kbytes to 576Kbytes with maximum word lengths of 72bits.

Previous test chip results revealed an up to 80% savings in dynamic power consumption and a 75% reduction in static power.

The design targets power-critical "keep alive" IoT, wearable and medical applications and delivers up to 50% dynamic power savings.   The SRAM itself is single rail and DVFS compatible. A rich suite of power management options include light sleep, deep sleep and power-down modes. The array is subdivided into up to eight banks that can be in independently active, retained or powered off modes. The compiler also provides Design-for-Test (DFT) and BIST support.

The sureCore low power SRAM IP is proving critical for a variety of IoT, wearable and medical applications that mandate keep alive memory.  It enables automated spoken word or phrase recognition and over or under temperature events.

sureCore's Ultra Low power SRAM enables computing at formerly unattainable low voltages levels of 0.6V. By combining low voltage operation with the leakage characteristics of the underlying process, sureCore has created an SRAM that supports operating speeds down to 20MHz (at 0.6V) and exceeds 300MHz at 1.1V.

"The 40nm ultra-low power process technology is, arguably, the cost effective sweet spot for many IoT, wearable and medical applications where long battery life is must," said sureCore's Executive Chairman, Guillaume d'Eyssautier.  "Mature nodes such as 40nm represent a sweet spot for IoT technical and business challenges and the sureCore Ultra Low power SRAM is quickly being acknowledged the leading power critical solution."

The company also has a 28nm FDSOI compiler and is currently working on a 22nm FDSOI Compiler, according to d'Eyssautier, who identified the technology as another popular IoT node.

About sureCore
sureCore Limited is an SRAM IP company based in Sheffield, UK, developing low power memories for current and next generation, silicon process technologies. Its award-winning, world-leading, low power SRAM design is process independent and variability tolerant, making it suitable for a wide range of technology nodes. This IP will help SoC developers meet both challenging power budgets and manufacturability constraints posed by leading edge process nodes.

Scientific Games is First in Lottery Industry to Receive PCI Data Security Certification for Secure Cashless Purchases of Lottery Games

New Retail Technology Innovation Integrates with Lottery Gaming Systems

LAS VEGAS and ATLANTA, June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- A new retail technology will give U.S. consumers the opportunity to use their credit and debit cards to purchase lottery games at select retailers. Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) ("Scientific Games" or the "Company") today announced that the company's new payment card technology solution for lottery retail sales is the first in the lottery industry to receive official Payment Card Industry ("PCI") Data Security Standard certification. The Multi-State Lottery Association has also approved Scientific Games' payment card solution for use in the U.S. where authorized. 

Designed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, PCI certification ensures secure processing and end-to-end encrypted transmittal of credit card information. Scientific Games' innovation is a payment processing technology directly integrated with a lottery's gaming systems technology. PCI certification of the solution, which was field-tested with lottery retailers in Pennsylvania, was awarded following a stringent evaluation of key performance indicators (KPIs) and an IT controls assessment.

Steve Beason, Enterprise Chief Technology Officer, Scientific Games, said, "Lottery is a $276 billion consumer product business globally. We are becoming an increasingly cashless society and consumers want to purchase lottery games on credit and debit cards, just like any other product they purchase at big box retailers, grocery stores, neighborhood shops, convenience stores and gas stations."

Scientific Games' payment solution features card processing terminals which are Europay, Mastercard and Visa (EMV) compliant for financial security standards; the terminals also support mobile payment options such as Android Pay, Apple Pay and Samsung Pay.

According to the National Association of Convenience Stores, 40 percent of convenience store transactions in 2014 were credit and debit card purchases. Cash purchases at point-of-sale are expected to drop to 22.5 percent in 2017 (Huffington Post Money).

"We are the first company to implement secure, cashless payment solutions for lotteries, giving their retailers and players peace of mind that payment card transactions are processed on a secure, supervised system. Our global operations teams understand this is an important step forward to align with consumer demand," said Beason.

At the center of the secure payment card solution is Scientific Games' unique omni-channel enterprise service bus (ESB) technology, a service-oriented gaming platform designed to securely integrate third-party products and services such as credit, debit and gift card payment processing, as well as pay at the pump and in-lane at multi-checkout retail locations.

With operations on six continents, Scientific Games provides games, services, systems and retail technology to more than 150 lotteries globally, including nearly every North American lottery.

ClearOne Launches Second Generation of its Groundbreaking Beamforming Microphone Array

Building Upon More Than Three Years of 1st-Gen Installations, ClearOne Pushes Pro Audio to the Next Level

SALT LAKE CITY, June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearOne's [NASDAQ: CLRO] new second generation Beamforming Microphone Array 2, introduced today, continues to advance the art of voice conferencing and extraordinary audio fidelity with the industry's most sophisticated audio beamforming, adaptive steering, acoustic echo cancellation, and noise cancellation technologies.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160531/374007

"This second generation, highly selective and directional Beamforming Microphone Array is optimized to operate with ClearOne's next generation CONVERGE(®) Pro 2 audio conferencing platform," said Durai Ramachandiran, ClearOne's Senior Director of Product Line Management for Pro Voice and AV Distribution. "Twenty-four microphone elements in the array adaptively guide audio pickup patterns towards conferencing participants, rejecting unwanted noise and reflections, and delivering unmatched conference room performance."

ClearOne's original Beamforming Microphone Array was the audiovisual industry's first professional grade microphone array with beamforming and adaptive acoustic steering. The design is sleek and attractive in any environment, and the array automatically senses its own mounting position - on a ceiling, wall, or table - to optimize audio signal processing for the best possible performance.

The Beamforming Microphone Array 2 affirms ClearOne's industry leadership, by delivering:

    --  Significantly enhanced echo canceling for demanding acoustic
        environments
    --  Faster convergence and better adaptation to changes in room acoustics,
        such as ambient noise from chairs moving, doors closing, chatter in the
        background, or any spikes in sound that alter the path of the audio
    --  Dramatically better mic pickup, sharpening the capability to detect
        softer voices
    --  Natural and clearly intelligible audio, even when two people speak at
        once
    --  Zero consumption of analog mic inputs in the CONVERGE Pro 2 DSP mixer
The Beamforming Microphone Array 2 operates on a new peripheral bus architecture that allows it to connect with ClearOne CONVERGE Pro 2 DSP mixers through a single cable that carries power, audio, and control. A common software application does everything, from configuration to management and monitoring of the arrays and mixers. Up to three Beamforming Microphone Array 2 units can be connected per CONVERGE Pro 2, and multiple mixers can interconnect with additional arrays to cover large areas. In this way, a large number of beamforming arrays can be daisy-chained together, and they can work in tandem with other ClearOne peripherals, such as the new DIALOG(®) 20 Wireless Microphone System.

"ClearOne's patented beamforming technology includes forming fixed beams and applies acoustic echo cancellation to each beam," Ramachandiran explained. "Professional audio video integrators will enjoy a comfortable familiarity with the new mic array, following ClearOne's legacy of dependability, quick installation, easy configuration, seamless integration, and world-class performance."

The Beamforming Microphone Array 2 is ideal for a wide range of audio environments, including boardrooms, large- and medium-size conference rooms, large lecture halls, courtrooms, and telemedicine facilities. ClearOne's second-generation Beamforming Microphone Array 2 is unequaled when it comes to delivering natural and superior-quality audio in a way that is transparent to conference participants.

The Beamforming Microphone Array 2 and other new ClearOne innovations will be on display at InfoComm 2016, June 8 to 10, in booth N1837.

LDA Technologies is Pioneering FPGA Board Enclosure with 25GbE Networking Capabilities

TORONTO, June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- LDA Technologies, an FPGA product design and manufacturing firm, today announced the release of LDA e4, the world's first 25GbE capable networking enclosure for PCI Express compliant FPGA boards, piloting a new generation of data center devices specifically engineered for high-speed communication and financial FPGA applications.

In addition to being board-agnostic and effortless to the point of "plug-and-play", LDA e4 comes with 48 high-speed ports (25 and 10GbE), Layer 1 replication (25 and 10GbE) and support for various CPUs and operating systems.

"One of the highlights of LDA e4 is the capability to expand the number of serial links available to network applications through repurposing PCI Express, FMC and SATA connectors," said Vahan Sardaryan, CEO of LDA Technologies. "This feature allows an FPGA board with PCI Express x16, FMC and 4 QSFPs connectors to serve up to 48 individual network links, which for many applications means double or triple capacity without any additional cost."

Other features offered by LDA e4 include designated precision power control, accurate reference clock source, per port signal monitoring tools, out-of-band management, internal USB ports for debug equipment, zero-configuration option: all these in a sleek 12-inch-deep 1U device that takes only half of the rack, leaving enough space for another LDA e4.

"Frankly, hosting an FPGA board is not why a rackable server is made, but it often becomes the reason why a server is bought," Sardaryan said. "We hope to provide an alternative that is designed "by engineers for engineers" and can be so much more than just another server."

The ability to use any PCI Express FPGA board within a purely FPGA-oriented device makes this product a good fit for IP core developers who already have existing systems and/or value the flexibility of selecting FPGA boards for their applications; and especially those who develop their IP cores for more than one FPGA platform.

"LDA e4," says Sardaryan, "enables its users to preserve their current boards and code for as long as needed, provides them with great options to enhance their applications, and gives full flexibility to upgrade or switch FPGA platforms at any time.

"The sheer multitude of features introduced in LDA e4, the ease, cost efficiency and the fact that it is among the first 25GbE capable devices: all make it a strong contender for your next data center FPGA device."

LDA Technologies is a privately held company headquartered in Toronto, Canada and specializing in high performance FPGA based platforms. LDA Technologies has been manufacturing products and providing consultancy services for customers since 2010.
