D-Link Connected Home Ecosystem Connects with Amazon Echo

New mydlink Home Integrations Create a Connected, Customizable, Voice-Controlled Home

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., April 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- D-Link(®) today announced that its Connected Home Wi-Fi Smart Plugs are directly compatible with Amazon Echo(1), providing users the hands-free convenience of controlling their smart home via voice commands. Amazon Echo's voice-powered personal assistant, Alexa, enables users to control anything plugged into a Wi-Fi Smart Plug by simply saying, "Alexa, ask mydlink to turn on the hallway light."

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160412/354681

This latest integration underscores D-Link's commitment to building an intuitive and customizable Connected Home experience. In addition to Amazon Echo and Alexa, the mydlink(®) Home app provides a wide range of options for controlling a smart home, including in-app recipes and IFTTT (If This Then That) support.

"D-Link is helping users find new and fun ways to interact with their homes and expanding the possibilities of home automation by collaborating with additional technology platforms," said Oscar Reyes, associate vice president of marketing, D-Link. "As a father of two, I've often got my hands full. Controlling my home with an app, my voice, or to even have things happen automatically helps simplify my life."

More About D-Link's Connected Home Interactions
mydlink Home users can now create custom actions through the mydlink Home app, IFTTT and Amazon Echo for a personalized smart home experience:

    --  mydlink Home: In addition to transforming a tablet or smartphone into a
        remote control for D-Link smart products, the free app can pair D-Link
        Connected Home devices for a truly automated home. Possibilities include
        connecting a Wi-Fi Smart Plug and Motion Sensor, so a light turns on if
        motion is detected. For added value, D-Link's solutions are Wi-Fi based
        and free of monthly subscription fees - no need to worry about a smart
        home hub.
    --  Amazon Echo: Experience the hands-free control and convenience of Alexa,
        who can easily turn on a light with the Wi-Fi Smart Plug when your hands
        are full. During the holidays, tell Alexa to turn off a Smart Plug
        connected to festive lights. Headed to work? Users can say, "Alexa, ask
        mydlink to turn off the coffee machine."
    --  IFTTT: mydlink Home users can add or create "If This Then That" recipes
        for a range of tasks to simplify and enhance life. For example, D-Link's
        Wi-Fi Water Sensor alerts users when water is detected with a push alert
        and alarm. Add an IFTTT recipe to make the lights flicker to get your
        attention before a leak becomes a disaster. IFTTT recipes can also
        schedule a Wi-Fi Smart Plug to turn on a lamp when the sun rises, turn a
        fan off whenever you leave the house, or even sound a Wi-Fi Siren when a
        favorite team wins the game. Users can create and share personalized
        recipes for a chance to win a range of D-Link Connected Home devices at
        us.dlink.com/giveaway.

Cape Announces Facebook Live API Integration to Support Streaming Drone Video at the F8 Developer Conference

Technology demonstrated in real time leading up to Mark Zuckerberg's opening keynote address to attendees

SAN FRANCISCO, April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at F8, Facebook's annual developer conference, Cape - the world's first consumer drone video service - announced that the company has integrated its drone video technology with the newly launched Facebook Live API to live stream high-quality aerial video directly to Facebook. This new feature was demonstrated with a live stream from a Cape drone flying outside the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, during the lead-up to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's opening keynote address.

"Cape prides itself as being a visionary and leader within the consumer drone industry and integrating with Facebook's live-streaming capabilities is the next step in our mission to bring next-generation drone experiences to consumers," said Jason Soll, chief executive officer of Cape. "We are extremely proud of our collaboration with the Facebook team and hope that our integration of this new technology excites our customers - and other developers - around the world."

Today, Cape helps families and adventurers relive their ski vacation memories by capturing their runs with drones and sending them professionally edited videos of their experience. Cape's enterprise iPad application controls the drone flights and streams live footage to the licensed pilots overseeing the operation. The integration with the Facebook Live API will allow Cape customers to broadcast this same live footage from the Cape app directly to Facebook, so that friends and family can watch them in real-time.

Cape's new Facebook Live API integration for streaming drone video is proprietary and presents a host of future commercial applications for the company, which Cape will explore as the company turns its attention beyond winter sports.

"Integrating with the Facebook Live API is a natural extension for Cape," said Thomas Finsterbusch, chief technology officer of Cape. "Watching the video live stream from our drones today at the F8 conference was not only extremely rewarding, but also a demonstration of our team's commitment to advancing the possibilities for drone video technology. It was great working closely with the Facebook Live API team to get our drones streaming to Facebook."

The announcement made at the F8 conference comes on the heels of Cape receiving a unique amendment in late December 2015 from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to the company's existing Section 333 exemption for commercial drone operations in the United States (U.S.). This first-of-its-kind amendment is tailored specifically to Cape's operations and makes the company the first operator in the U.S. legally authorized to fly drones within 500 feet of consumers and in an area wider than a closed movie set.

"Over the course of thousands of missions, Cape has always pushed the limit of what's possible with drones while maintaining a 100% perfect record of safety and FAA compliance," said Louis Gresham, chief operations officer and president of Cape. "Live streaming from a Cape drone in the San Francisco Bay for a worldwide Facebook audience - with full FAA approval - was an amazing opportunity to push the envelope even further."

Cape has filmed skiers in Canada since December 2014 and in the U.S. since October 2015. This winter, Cape has been operational at Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows (CA), Powder Mountain Resort (UT), Homewood Mountain Resort (CA), Mammoth Mountain (CA) and Fernie Alpine Resort in British Columbia, Canada.

About Cape Productions

Cape Productions (http://www.cape.com) is the world's first drone video service for consumers. Cape's customers receive professionally edited highlight videos after drones film them enjoying their favorite outdoor activities.

bObsweep Opens Doors to Integrated Smart Home Robotics

Robovac Maker Creates Custom-Made Charging Structure and Smart Home Automation System that Gives Robotic Vacuums a Hideaway in the Home

SAN FRANCISCO, April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Canadian robotics company bObsweep -- makers of the strongest robotic vacuum in the industry, PetHair Plus -- has created a structure that seamlessly integrates robotic vacuums into the interior architecture of the home. Robotic vacuums can now automatically recharge in a robovac "garage" carved out beneath kitchen base cabinets.

bObsweep's popular line of robotic vacuums currently self-charge via independent charging stations plugged into the user's wall outlet. The all-new smart home garage, the very first of its kind for robotic vacuums, seamlessly adapts the charging station's wireless technology into the interior of the home kitchen.

Though the current structure measures at about 24" x 24" x 5", the robovac garage can be custom made to fit any builder's blueprint. With an adaptable, customizable product, bObsweep is well positioned to lead the way as robotic vacuums move into the modern home in ever greater numbers.

Before the smart home revolution, homeowners kept bulky standing vacuums in closets. When robotic vacuums transformed the appliance industry, the space for vacuums moved out of the closet and onto a random space on the floor, anchored by the charging station's access to an outlet. bObsweep's latest innovation resolves the storage issue -- robotic vacuums now have a wired, specified, and inconspicuous space they can tuck themselves into when not in use.

Building on the convenience of heating, air conditioning and security systems that have automated modern homes, bObsweep is also adapting the robovac's remote control interface to a central control pad in the home for an even more comprehensive smart home experience. Homeowners will be able to schedule cleaning times for their robotic vacuums and remotely adjust speeds, cleaning intensity and any other settings to meet their unique preferences.

Out of sight and out of mind -- by integrating robotic vacuums into the kitchen design, bObsweep gives homeowners the luxury of a self-cleaning home without all the clutter.

Details on bObsweep's innovative new robovac garage design are currently available by request. To learn more, please visit http://www.bobsweep.com.

About bObsweep
bObsweep creates compact, powerhouse cleaning solutions with their family of automatic robotic vacuum cleaners. Their first product, Bob Standard, revolutionized the industry with its 1000 mL dustbin and deep-cleaning specs. Their trend-setting bObi line of robotic vacuums features innovative design, radio frequency technology, touchscreen buttons, and advanced sensors. bObsweep offers do-it-yourself repair guides to empower consumers, and all their products are built to last. Across the board, bObsweep delivers high-quality, environmentally conscious products that ease the strain of our everyday lives.

Jenn-Air® Black Floating Glass Appliances Offer Sleek Alternative to Stainless Steel

BENTON HARBOR, Mich., April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Now available in a complete suite of appliances, the black floating glass collection from Jenn-Air offers a sleek and equally versatile option to stainless steel appliances.  Recently, the brand tapped into its Design Advisory Council (DAC) for their insights on incorporating black appliances into the kitchen.  Select members of this accomplished group of design professionals from across the country shared their thoughts on how to incorporate black into the kitchen.   

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160412/354242

The newly-available full collection includes built-in wall ovens in single, double and combination microwave/wall oven configurations; a cabinet-depth French door refrigerator; electric, gas, and duel-fuel 30-inch slide in ranges; and its high performance dishwashers.  In addition, the brand's collection of low profile canopy and pyramid style hoods feature black glass that pairs with both stainless steel and black floating glass.

1. What design elements do you think pair well with black floating glass?   

For a modern kitchen with a professional look the sleek black on black of this beautiful suite would pair well with stainless steel cabinetry.  Other elements that would pair well with this include a graphic quartzite counter top with subtle black lines, chrome hardware and faucets and black and white mosaic flooring. 

An alternate option would be to pair these appliances with taupe colored cabinetry and gorgeous marble with graphic white lines.  Polished nickel faucets, matte black hardware and a lovely white oak floor in a natural stain would be a nice complement for this option. 

The black floating glass appliances would also pair well with wenge stained quarter cut oak cabinets, stunning Fantasy Brown quartzite, black faucets, chrome hardware and a stone mosaic floor with a very geometrical pattern.    Alexandre Blazys & Benoit Gérard/Blazys Gérard http://www.blazysgerard.com/site/fr/philosophie.html

The clean lines of the black floating glass series of Jenn-Air appliances pair well with warm wood tones for a soft contemporary style statement.  For a more stark look, contrast these appliances with white cabinetry is a good choice.  Mary Jo Peterson/Mary Jo Peterson Design/ http://maryjo-peterson.squarespace.com/

By incorporating black floating glass appliances, especially as an entire suite, you immediately cloak the kitchen in a rich elegance that no other finish offers.  The rest of the elements in the kitchen can contrast or coordinate, but these appliances provide a beautiful backdrop that elevates the room.  Julia Johnston/Kitchens for Cooking/ http://www.houzz.com/pro/kitchensforcooking/kitchens-for-cooking

2.  Would you mix stainless steel with black floating glass appliances?

Absolutely! It will give it that professional yet sleek and modern look. It's very Mies Van der Rohe.Alexandre Blazys & Benoit Gérard/Blazys Gérard

Floating black glass combines well with stainless to create an industrial edge, and with clean lines can make a strong contemporary statement. Mary Jo Peterson/Mary Jo Peterson Design

3.  Are you limited to darker hues (dark cabinets, floors, etc.) when using black appliances?

No. Contrasts can be interesting when well balanced and blended. A mix of textures will awaken and enliven the kitchen's personality with loads of elegance. Alexandre Blazys & Benoit Gérard/Blazys Gérard

Although black floating glass appliances are great partnered with warmer and darker wood finishes, they are not limited to these choices. In fact, they can beautifully compliment white cabinetry, in either contemporary or more transitional spaces. Mary Jo Peterson/Mary Jo Peterson Design

Oska Pulse(TM), First-Of-Its-Kind, Wearable Pain Relief Device, Debuts For Individuals Suffering From Chronic Pain

100M Americans Who Suffer From Chronic Pain Now Have A Non-Invasive, Drug-Free Solution With No Known Side Effects; Individuals Can Take Control Of Their Pain Management With Oska Pulse

SAN DIEGO, April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- San Diego-based Oska Wellness, a technology company committed to developing consumer health and wellness products, today introduced the revolutionary, made in the U.S.A., Oska Pulse(TM). This innovative wearable pain relief device is designed to help reduce muscle stiffness, temporarily relieve minor pain and increase mobility for more than 100 million Americans who suffer from chronic pain. Using proprietary eTec(TM) Pulse Technology, Oska Pulse is a small, portable device that safely optimizes Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapeutic technology, a longtime therapy used by medical practitioners to help individuals live a more active, pain-free and drug-free lifestyle. 

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160411/353855

Surveyed in 2012 by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, over 2 million Americans suffer from substance abuse due to prescription opioid pain relievers. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 40 Americans die every day from prescription opioid overdoses.  Unfortunately, even over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers have risks. OTC acetaminophen drug abuse is one of the most common causes of liver failure in the United States. According to a 2014 study published in the Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology, OTC drugs with acetaminophen send an average of 80,000 people annually to emergency rooms due to abuse.

As an alternative to pain medication, Oska Pulse offers pain sufferers a non-invasive, drug-free technology that has no known side effects. Now, people can take control of their pain and enjoy a more active lifestyle without the dangers of drugs, and without a physician's prescription. To learn more, please visit http://www.oskawellness.com.

Dr. Joseph Shurman, Anesthesiologist and Chairman of Pain Management at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, California, endorses the Oska Pulse, applauding its capabilities. "Pain management is about easing the suffering and improving well-being and quality of life and function. As a physician, I am constantly trying non-invasive, drug free pain management solutions. I like the fact that the Oska Pulse is easy to use and has no known side effects. I am recommending the Oska Pulse to some of my patients. I believe it can offer general relief and well being to many pain sufferers." Dr. Shurman is currently on the Oska Wellness Scientific Advisory Board.

Oska Pulse aids in providing intended relief of minor aches and pains, reducing stiffness and promoting increased mobility by promoting the body's natural recovery processes. People of all ages who have pain due to injury, surgery or trauma can benefit from this innovation. It is a smart, safe, easy-to-use, wearable health technology product designed for today's pain sufferers.  With a suggested retail price of $399, Oska Pulse is a high-performance alternative to clinical products, which utilize similar technologies that can cost thousands of dollars.

"I suffer from chronic hip pain," says Leslie Cross, Chairman of Oska Wellness, former Chairman and CEO of DJO Global, a manufacturer and worldwide leading distributor of electrotherapy products for pain therapy and rehabilitation. "I joined the team after using the product for a few days, because my pain was gone without taking any medication. Now, I wear the device several times a day, which allows me to stay active, take long walks, and play golf with my friends and much more. This product can help a lot of people like me, and for that reason I am excited to be involved with the launch of the Oska Pulse to the public."

Oska Pulse, which comes with a specially designed compression wrap, can be worn comfortably at any time, under or over garments, and near problem areas. In fact, the device can be worn while going about your normal daily activities like walking through a store or working at a desk. When the product is "in session", a soft, pulsing blue light will appear around the perimeter of the device for 30 minutes, and individuals will have no sensation, which makes it completely unobtrusive.  Some individuals will find immediate benefits when using the Oska Pulse, while others may need several sessions over a few days before they begin to feel relief.  Most individuals will find better results with repeated and extended use.

"Oska Pulse is providing relief for many early users of the product by helping to reduce back, shoulder, knee, ankle, and foot pain. The feedback from these early adopters has been amazing, and we are thrilled to see Oska helping so many people," said Greg Houlgate, Oska Wellness CEO.

The benefits of PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy have been documented in multiple clinical studies. Some of these studies can be found on the Company's website. It is recommended that individuals who are pregnant or nursing and/or who have a heart pacemaker or defibrillator as well as those being treated for cancer should consult their physician before using Oska Pulse.

About Oska Wellness
Oska Wellness, Inc. is committed to developing health and wellness technology-driven products that assist individuals in living a more active, pain-free lifestyle.  We believe that people suffering from pain deserve relief without the side effects of medication. The revolutionary Oska Pulse utilizes our patented eTec Pulse Technology that specifically optimizes Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapeutic technology, which is very similar to the PEMF therapies used in many clinical applications for accelerating the body's ability to heal itself. The science and technology behind the Oska Pulse was engineered and developed by a team of respected scientists and researchers with over 25 years of experience in engineering health and wellness technologies to treat pain. The product is proudly manufactured and assembled in the U.S.A. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not evaluated the Oska Pulse. Oska Wellness, Inc. does not claim the product to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical condition.

Introducing Aftermaster Pro The World's First Personal Remastering Device

A WHOLE NEW CATEGORY IN CONSUMER ELECTRONICS HAS BEEN CREATED TO TRANSFORM THE WAY AUDIENCES HEAR AUDIO IN ALL CONSUMER PRODUCTS

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Aftermaster Audio Labs--an industry leading audio technology company--unveiled the world's first Personal Remastering Device, The Aftermaster Pro(TM). The new sleek, compact and portable device offers a genuine breakthrough in the quality of audio reproduction by remastering all audio-enabled devices in real-time. The Aftermaster Pro has created a new category in consumer electronics by offering a single portable device that dramatically improves all consumer audio.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160411/354070

Born out of a rich music industry background and developed by a team of award-winning sound engineers, the Aftermaster Pro delivers unparalleled audio experience to consumers, significantly enhancing the audio of their televisions, smartphones, headphones, laptops, tablets, gaming consoles and virtually any other audio-enabled devices by:

    --  Substantial increases in clarity, depth and fullness in audio not
        available through any other technology
    --  Clearer, louder and balanced dialogue and substantially less volume
        adjustment while watching TV
    --  More fullness and low end from small speakers
    --  A never-before-heard quality level in music playback
Aftermaster's world-class team of audio experts have produced, engineered and mastered more hit music than any audio company in history. To create Aftermaster Pro they combined their expertise with their new audio processing technology, AfterMaster, which is the only audio enhancement technology available that dramatically improves audio throughout the entire frequency range. Virtually every sonic detail is heard, combined with unmatched depth, fullness and clarity.

"I'm thrilled to announce our first consumer product, the AfterMaster Pro, the first personal remastering device for consumers," says Founder and CEO, Larry Ryckman. "Our award-winning sound engineers spent years developing Aftermaster Pro, a first-of-its-kind product that allows consumers to literally remaster all of their audio seamlessly with our Aftermaster technology and experience a whole new level in sound."

Frustrated with the overall quality of mass consumer audio in the market, the Aftermaster team was determined to find a solution to the expensive home entertainment systems that made broad claims about sound quality, but ultimately offered little substance when it came to solving dialogue and audio problems.  When used specifically for television, Aftermaster Pro raises and clarifies the dialogue level, virtually eliminating the need to adjust volume in order to hear what people are saying during your favorite TV shows and movies. With its built-in long-life battery, the Aftermaster Pro can also be used on-the-go to provide the best audio that consumers have ever experienced wherever they are and however they choose to enjoy sound.

His design influence can be felt in the distinctive styling of the new appliances, which incorporate timeless, pro-style design features including the stainless steel ice and water dispenser, highly functional LED task lighting and stainless steel metal knobs with sleek SmoothTouch((TM)) glass controls on the control panels of the wall ovens featuring unique red light indicators.

"I believe that a truly successful kitchen is one that marries beautiful design, innovative features and incorporates things that feel personal," said Berkus.

        minimal effort so organization is simple and flexible. LG's Slim
        SpacePlus® Ice system, a streamlined ice-making system inside the door,
        frees up usable door bins and offers an obstruction-free top shelf,
        further maximizing storage space. This model also features LG's Smart
        Diagnosis, which interfaces with LG's service center, if needed, to
        diagnose issues and streamline the service process. This model is built
        for the long run, backed by LG's exclusive two-year warranty.

        System - an adjustable full extension rack that glides out effortlessly

        feature on the market. The technology works in three simple steps: users
        simply spray water to the interior walls of the oven, start the
        EasyClean® function to allow the oven to heat up and after 10 quick
        minutes, the mess inside the wall can simply be wiped away. The
        simplified process is a result of LG's innovative oven enamel
        technology, eliminating the need for chemicals or high heat to rid the
        oven of grime.

        burners with a matching griddle and a separate simmer burner, allowing
        flexibility when cooking from boiling to warming all at once. The

        finish, robust metal knobs, heavy-duty cast iron grates and beautiful
        red LED lighting that illuminates the control knobs when the burner is

Intelligent Call-to-Action Capability Launched at Smart IoT London Targets Providers of Facility Management Services

LONDON and BATH, England, April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    ContinuumBridge [http://www.continuumbridge.com ], a provider of enterprise IoT
solutions, today announces Spur [http://www.spur.site ], its intelligent call-to-action
device and service, which is being launched at the Smart IoT London event at ExCel. Spur
is a product aimed at service providers in the facilities management, retail, leisure and
hospitality industries. It provides an intelligent, easy-to-use means for service users to
initiate a request or report an issue and provides the user with an immediate
acknowledgement.

    The physical part of Spur is a call button that integrates a display whose message
indicates to the user what they are able to request/report and then provides instant
visual feedback confirming the outcome. For example, if installed by a coffee machine the
display could say, "Push here if this machine requires more coffee" and then after
pressing the button the display could change to say, "More coffee for this machine has
been requested". Similar scenarios can be applied in other situations, e.g. reporting that
a printer or photocopier is out of toner, or that a toilet needs cleaning. Multiple call
options are possible by cycling the Spur e-ink display, for example, requesting waiter
service or asking for the bill in a restaurant, and perhaps subsequently rating the
customer experience.

    Peter Claydon, CEO of ContinuumBridge, said, "During Spur's development we worked
closely with our customers and are confident that it meets genuine needs. The capability
that lies behind the button provides numerous benefits for both the service provider and
end-user/customer - we're really excited about Spur."

    Automating the service process with Spur provides clear cost-savings as it allows
staff to focus on responding to the end-user and avoids time spent checking for issues.
Another benefit is that simpler performance monitoring helps the provider know it is
fulfilling its service level agreement (SLA) with the client company while also meeting
the expectations of end-users. The latter may also be important in meeting legislative or
standards-driven requirements for quantifying customer satisfaction. Finally, a key
benefit of Spur is enabling data-driven decision-making, for example, the ability to
adjust routine maintenance schedules to reduce the likelihood of breakdowns and call-outs.

    The technology behind Spur enables a "fit and forget" call button that is battery
powered, with a life of up to five years, and ensures long-range operation with good
building penetration by using a radio at 868MHz. A gateway bridge, which only requires a
power outlet, provides connectivity between the wireless buttons and a server using a
cellular modem. Service providers access the server through a fully programmable but easy
to use web portal that is designed to help them solve problems. It provides comprehensive
reporting that is available through the web site or via email, SMS or data-sharing with a
third party database. The whole Spur solution is safe-guarded with state-of-the-art,
end-to-end security.

    Spur is undergoing trials now in the UK and volume production will commence in
mid-2016. ContinuumBridge is looking for distribution partners throughout Europe with
North American and other geographies anticipated in the future. Further information is
available at http://www.spur.site.

ELEX Releases Clash of Queens, A New Mobile Game with A Rich Social System

Game attracts a large number of female players

NEW YORK, April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Whomever values and nurtures their mobile game's social networking system will attract more players to play. ELEX knows the needs of players well, so they've paid great attention to making a great game with a rich social system - Clash of Queens. Compared with other mobile games, the social networking system of Clash of Queens seems more humanized, which can satisfy all needs of players, especially female players.

Speaking of social systems, the game's chatting system deserves mentioning. Players clicking on the friends list and chatting with friends will bring players closer. Pink chat bubbles for female players makes the game more humanized. This interface also allows players to visit friends and get friendliness every day. It is worth mentioning that Clash of Queens's friend system can tell the difference between Facebook friends and game friends.

In addition to the humanized social networking system, the recruitment system of Clash of Queens is also different from that of other games. Players could call it a "teacher-student system" or "title of nobility system." When a player's castle level reaches 10, he can choose to be a teacher and help other players with their development. That will be of great help for players who don't know the game so well. Also, teachers can get certain rewards when their student's castle levels up. As in real life, students can grade their teachers when reaching a certain level. Of course, teachers with higher scores can get better rewards. The T-S system allows all players to earn rewards with their game knowledge.

In addition, Clash of Queens has a unique social system - the Moments system. Players can share their mood using photos and words with other friends without exiting the game. All alliance members and friends can like or comment on the posts. The Moment system gives players an in-game platform for sharing their life and game achievements.

Meanwhile, Clash of Queens offers players a private platform to chat with other players all over the world, using the Drift Bottles system. It's convenient for players to make friends with strangers and chat with them. Players can write a message, put it into a bottle and then "throw it out," or they can pick up other bottles. They can communicate with each other about their troubles and joy. Some players even find their girlfriends/boyfriends in this system. For those with FOMO (a fear of missing out), the Drift Bottles function will be the solid choice. Picking up bottles and chatting with the strangers sounds pretty cool.

Generally speaking, the social networking system of Clash of Queens bridges the distance between players. That's the reason why female players are more willing to spend time on Clash of Queens.

ELEX knows the needs of players. The studio of Clash of Queens is trying to promote its social networking system and provide a better gaming experience to every player as reported by the company. Clash of Queens was launched worldwide in January 2016, and is currently available on Google Play. More game systems are currently under development and the IOS version of the game is to be released soon. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elex.coq.gp.

Netdragon and ARHT Media Jointly Announce Completion of a CDN$4.82M Strategic Investment and JV Partnership

Netdragon and ARHT Media enter into a five-year JV partnership to create a virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) powerhouse for education and entertainment markets across the Asia Pacific region

HONG KONG, April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- NetDragon Websoft Inc. ("NetDragon" or "the Company") (Hong Kong Stock Code: 777), a global leader in building Internet communities, and ARHT Media Inc. ("ARHT") (TSX.V: ART) are pleased to jointly announce that ARHT has closed the CDN$4,819,526 (equivalent to approximately HK$29.0 million) non-brokered private placement financing (the "Offering") with NetDragon previously announced on February 26, 2016. NetDragon indirectly purchased 19,278,104 common shares in the capital of ARHT ("Common Shares") at a price of CDN$0.25 per Common Share.

After closing of the Offering, NetDragon now indirectly owns 19.99% of ARHT's issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis through its wholly owned subsidiary, NetDragon Websoft Inc. ("NetDragon Websoft Inc. (BVI)"). NetDragon will have the right to nominate one individual to the ARHT board of directors and will also have the right to maintain its pro rata interest in ARHT, in the event of future distributions.   

The securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to statutory resale restrictions until August 13, 2016. The TSX Venture Exchange has provided final approval for closing of the Offering. The proceeds from the Offering are expected to be used for general working capital purposes.

Joint Venture Aims to Create an Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality Powerhouse

NetDragon and ARHT have signed an agreement to establish a joint venture in select Asia Pacific markets that will include a multi-year exclusive license of ARHT's technology as well as a license of NetDragon's mobile-focused community, instant messaging and app store technologies. NetDragon, one of China's largest gaming and online education companies, will unlock a network of opportunities for the use of ARHT's digital human holograms, HumaGrams, and its supporting technologies to millions of people in China, India and certain other countries in the Asia Pacific region.

NetDragon is a technology leader, and a top innovator and creative force in China's online gaming, online education and mobile internet industries, where they will be able to utilize ARHT's technology to bring world-class subject matter experts into various regions in China, India, North America and Europe.

ARHT's technology will continue to leverage its patented holo-porting solution, which was introduced to China on Feb 27, 2016, at a NetDragon event, where Dashan, often referred to as "the most famous foreigner in China", was beamed as a digital HumaGram live from Los Angeles, able to interact and engage with NetDragon's Vice Chairman and Executive Director, Dr. Simon Leung, in front of an audience of over 200 people. Through this joint venture, NetDragon will enable ARHT to bring HumaGrams to many territories previously unreachable.

NetDragon's recent acquisition of Promethean, a provider of interactive learning technologies with a user base of 1.3 million classrooms globally, has the potential to deliver ARHT's technology to an enormous audience in the K12 (Kindergarten-to-Grad 12) space. The potential from the Promethean network is in addition to the overall size of the Chinese education market, which is $200+ billion per year.

Dr. Simon Leung, Vice Chairman and Executive Director of NetDragon, commented, "We are extremely excited about our partnership with ARHT Media, and we look forward to the various ways in which their patented holographic technology can be utilized for education, gaming, and many other areas of our business." 

Paul Duffy, CEO of ARHT, commented, "We welcome NetDragon as a strategic shareholder and partner. We are very excited to collaborate with a leader in the mobile internet space. This is a tremendous opportunity for us to make our technology available to billions of people across various platforms in the Asia-Pacific region. Earlier this year, the Goldman Sachs Group put forth some assumptions about the AR and VR market, believing it to become an $80 billion market by 2025. We are very excited about the timing and scope of the partnership with NetDragon, which we believe will set us on a path to penetrate this important market."

Paul Anka, renowned singer, songwriter and ARHT Advisory Board Chairman, commented, "ARHT Media has strategically partnered with one of the leading internet technology companies in China, which represents tremendous go-to-market opportunities, particularly given NetDragon's focus on building online and offline education communities. We are proud of the partnership that will open up much of the world to ARHT's one of a kind technology."

The combined NetDragon and ARHT technologies will offer a mobile, Augmented Reality ("AR") and Virtual Reality ("VR") powerhouse in the Asia Pacific market.

DDN to Unveil World's Highest-Performance Media Workflow Storage Platform at NAB 2016

New DDN MEDIAScaler 2.0 End-to-End Content Lifecycle Management Delivers 8x Faster Ingest, 2x Higher Storage Density and 20x More Scale than Closest Competitor

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fortifying its leadership in high-performance, high definition, rich media storage, DataDirect Networks (DDN) today announced the availability of the new DDN MEDIAScaler(TM) Converged Media Workflow Storage Platform.  MEDIAScaler 2.0, the world's fastest, densest, most scalable media storage platform manages the complete workflow from ingest to archive and the cloud in a single, unified appliance. Designed for use throughout post-production, broadcast and content delivery, the new MEDIAScaler delivers the power to accelerate highly concurrent media workflows, a wide range of media formats, and offers end-to-end digital content management from high performance ingest and processing to cloud collaboration and active archiving. Available today, the MEDIAScaler 2.0 platform will be showcased in the DDN booth at the upcoming NAB Show 2016, April 16-21 in Las Vegas.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160411/353770

"Data rate is the biggest challenge in high-performance media workflows. The size of video frames are increasing due to higher resolutions such as 4K and 8K, high dynamic range (HDR), higher frame rates (HFR) and more cameras simultaneously capturing content per project. New format standards like IMF are creating more efficient distribution standards but require more metadata and customized content during production," said Tom Coughlin, founder and lead analyst, Coughlin Associates. "To address these challenges, today's media workflows require a data infrastructure that can manage every aspect of the media lifecycle coherently and offer the highest levels of performance. At the same time this infrastructure must be simple to install, configure and manage while delivering massive per client performance, supporting collaborative environments, content distribution and the latest processor and interconnect technologies. DDN's MEDIAScaler 2.0 provides technological innovations for Media and Entertainment storage that will help customers meet their data growth, access and workflow challenges."

HTC's New Flagship: Sculpted To Perfection

Power of 10: HTC's engineering excellence delivers obsessive craftsmanship, unparalleled performance and imaging leadership

SEATTLE, April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- HTC has today unveiled what it has been working on behind closed doors for the last 12 months with the launch of its latest smartphone. With customer feedback an integral part of the development process combined with an obsessive attention to detail, the HTC 10 delivers everything that you would want from a flagship device.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160411/353809

Playing to the Power of 10 - symbolizing greatness and independence but also that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts - this newest addition to the HTC phone family combines a world-class camera with gold-standard audio, bold new metal unibody design and unparalleled performance.

Designed to Perfection
Inspired by light and sculpted to perfection, the HTC 10 employs a new approach to design where bold contours are carved out of solid metal. Capturing the light beautifully, the chamfered edges boast a slimmer, more slender look with its full-glass front merging seamlessly into the metal body.

Passionate about the small details, it's not just the materials that come under scrutiny when we create a new handset. With the HTC 10, our design teams worked tirelessly to build a phone where even the power button has been beautifully crafted, where the speakers deliver a sleeker look and better sound quality and where the fingerprint sensor recognizes your finger from almost any angle.

It is also important that we got the build absolutely right. Mercilessly engineered to handle everyday knocks, bumps and scratches, the HTC 10 was subjected to over 168 hours of extreme temperature tests, ranging from a freezing -20'C to a scorching 60'C; and over 10,000 drop, bend, scratch and corrosion tests.

World-class camera!
With HTC 10 we've delivered what we believe to be the best smartphone camera available on the market today. With the world's first optically stabilized, larger aperture f/1.8 lenses on both the front and rear cameras, new larger sensors, 12 million of our new generation UltraPixels (1.55um per pixel), faster laser autofocus powering the main camera and a wide angle lens and screen flash on the front UltraSelfie(TM) camera, this smartphone delivers brilliantly sharp, low light and high-resolution photos whether behind or in front of the lens.

With the camera designed to launch in as little as 0.6 seconds, and a 2(nd) generation laser autofocus that gives you focused shots faster, it's quick enough to even work in burst mode. All the settings are also conveniently located at your fingertips with Pro Mode still offering advanced options for more experienced photographers, including RAW format functionality.

Boasting a DxOMark score of 88*, this is one of the highest camera quality scores of any smartphone to date and is the result of tens of thousands of hours spent fine tuning each element to deliver world-class photos and videos.

Best in sight, best in sound
But it's not just the imaging that puts this smartphone at the top of its game - the HTC 10 combines vivid 4K video with the world's first stereo, 24-bit, Hi-Res audio recording - capturing 256 times more detail than standard recordings across twice the frequency range and enabling you to bring to life your recorded content as if you were actually there in person.

Built for audiophiles, the HTC 10 is certified for Hi-Res audio and has been designed to make music sound the way that the artist intended. A headphone amp that delivers two times the power of a conventional headphone amp, the ability to upscale from 16-bit to 24-bit audio and high performance digital to analogue conversion combine beautifully to produce ten times lower distortion than other devices on the market, delivering an all round audio performance that cannot be beaten.

Everyone hears things differently, which is why the HTC 10's all-new Personal Audio Profile system enhances your audio experience even further. By creating a unique profile that is tuned to your individual hearing, it dynamically adjusts specific sound frequencies to each ear, allowing you to hear music the way that the artist intended. Re-engineered HTC BoomSound(TM) Hi-Fi edition speakers feature the same separated tweeter and woofer design as leading acoustic systems and combine with a dedicated amplifier on each speaker, adding to the experience and delivering sound clarity unprecedented on a smartphone.

Performance at its Best
Whilst the HTC 10 nails it on the hardware, we have also delivered what we believe to be best-in-class software by focusing on getting the fundamentals right. With apps that launch twice as fast and that perform to the highest standard and a next generation quad HD display that is 30% more colourful, creating a true cinematic feel, and that is 50% more responsive to touch than its predecessor, even the smallest and fastest of finger movements track perfectly.

This attention to detail doesn't stop there! With security high on people's agendas, we have created a fingerprint scanner, which unlocks in a lightning fast 0.2 seconds and which has been algorithmically designed to recognise you faster and more accurately over time.

Engineered from the inside out to last longer, the HTC 10 boasts the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with enhanced 4G LTE. Each device also comes with Boost+ which is designed to make your phone faster, to consume less power and to provide effective security and applications management features. This includes smart boost, which automatically optimizes your memory; a game battery booster, which uses less battery during gameplay; and a new PowerBotics system, which auto detects and shuts down apps that use excessive power - improving battery life by 30% and delivering up to two days charge.

Not only does Boost+ optimize performance, making it easier to launch apps, but its App Lock function also adds a new layer of security by enabling you to lock any app you choose, whilst App Manager provides an instant fix for when an app isn't behaving.

The HTC 10 also includes the latest in-box quick charge 3.0 Rapid Charger with improved thermal management that can charge the battery up to 50% in just 30 minutes - ideal for people who find their phone running low on juice before the end of the working day.

Controlled by You!
By reducing the number of duplicative and pre-loaded apps and bloatware and integrating the best of both HTC and Google, we have created a more streamlined phone that enables you to decide what you want on your handset. 

With HTC's specially created new Freestyle Layout, you no longer have an on-screen grid that dictates the layout. Instead you can get creative by dragging icons, stickers and widgets anywhere you like. Layer them, group them, link stickers to apps or get rid of screen icons altogether, the choice is yours.

The latest version of HTC Themes also provides you with access to thousands of professional looking themes that each come with their own icons, backgrounds and sounds so you can customize your phone based on your own personal style. 

Accessories and availability
To further streamline your experience, the HTC 10 offers an all-new Ice View case with a semi-transparent and highly versatile single front-cover case. So when that next call or message comes in, when you need to skip a track or snap that perfect shot, you can do it without opening your smartphone's case. It's simplicity without sacrificing protection.

The HTC 10 will come in two variants with different Qualcomm(®) Snapdragon(TM) processors to cater for different market needs. They will both offer the same design, audio, camera and display, with a similar software experience and battery life. In the U.S., the HTC 10 will come with the Snapdragon 820 processor.

In the U.S., HTC 10 will be available across multiple wireless providers including Verizon Wireless, Sprint and T-Mobile, which will announce colors, availability and pricing. In addition, HTC will be offering an Unlocked edition on http://www.HTC.com, which will be compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile networks and will be available for pre-orders beginning today, April 12, with shipping in early May. The Unlocked edition from HTC.com comes in Glacier Silver and Carbon Gray, and costs $699. It also comes with UH OH Protection, which includes one replacement at no charge within the first 12 months of ownership for a cracked screen or water damage.

Notes to Editors
1. Battery life may vary based on cellular network, location, signal strength, feature configurations, phone usage, and many other factors. Actual results may vary.
2. Battery tests are conducted in HTC laboratories using specific HTC devices.
3. All benchmarks (with the exception of DxO) have been produced as a result of testing both HTC and competitor products in HTC labs.

Wunelli introduces game-changing 12V device taking telematics to the mass market

Consumer-friendly plug-in device records driving data at nearly 15% of the cost of a black box - and doubles as free mobile charger for consumers

http://www.wunelli.com

LONDON, April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Adding to the already robust set of device options for collecting telematics data, Wunelli, a LexisNexis Risk Solutions company, has created a 12V tethered telematics data collection device which will revolutionise the way insurers sell and engage consumers in UBI policies.

Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160411/353751LOGO

Plugging into the cigarette lighter, the self-installed 12V device represents a significant step forward for the telematics insurance market, enabling insurers to gather driving behaviour data at around 15 per cent of the cost of a hard-wired device, but with similar levels of accuracy and data quality. 

With the device installed, drivers will benefit from the crash detection features to help prove the circumstance of a claim while the device can also be used as a mobile phone charger. This means insurers will be able to offer compelling consumer benefits over and above the insurance cover.

The 12V device is paired with the policyholder's smartphone and communicates over Bluetooth technology with the designated smartphone app to record driving behaviour data. It can collect more trips and more data elements per trip than an app-only solution due to its integrated 2-in-1 motion sensors for crash filtering and reporting, accelerometer to evaluate speed, gyroscope to detect orientation of the device, and rechargeable super capacitor for ignition logging and device tampering detection.

Selim Cavanagh, Vice President of Wunelli, says, "12V is a game-changer for telematics insurance, providing a solution to many of the obstacles which have prevented mass market adoption. For the first time, insurers have a low-cost data collection option, with the high level of trip coverage and breadth of data they have come to expect from a hard-wired device. Additionally, their customers benefit from the charging capabilities of the device and crash reporting, without having to have a black box fitted. We are really proud of this development and will continue to push the boundaries in telematics insurance to give insurers and brokers the tools they need to operate in this market."

NOTES TO EDITORS:

Wunelli

Working closely with all major software houses, today, Wunelli provides a complete end-to-end solution to enable insurers and brokers to offer telematics-based motor insurance products, in a fast, efficient and cost-effective manner.

Whether it is hard-wired, OBD2, 12V or smartphone solution, Wunelli offers a completely outsourced solution or an integrated package that links telematics to existing internal systems.

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Helping the world harness the power of data, Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ: WDC) today announced immediate worldwide availability of the new object storage-based HGST Active Archive System, SA-1000 model. Targeted for media and entertainment digital data preservation, life sciences data pools, and cloud backup, the HGST SA-1000 enables smaller object storage footprints with easy-to-manage building blocks to scale capacity as needed.

With the ability to scale from 672 terabytes (TB) to 28 petabytes (PB) of total capacity geo-dispersed across three data centers in a single namespace, the SA-1000 brings dramatic deployment flexibility to customers wanting to start small, and scale as they grow. Cloud-scale data durability, secure data manageability, multi-geo data dispersion for wide-open access to data, and easy disaster recovery give enterprises the competitive advantage needed to tackle the challenges of storing, analyzing, and monetizing enormous amounts of unstructured data.

"World Wide Technology (WWT) is excited to work closely with Western Digital Corporation as a key reseller," said Rich Harper, leader of the Object Storage Practice within WWT. "I've been impressed with HGST's Active Archive platform and its ease of deployment, its performance throughput, as well as its very reasonable price per PB. Now, with the options to support an initially small-to-medium configuration, which can later easily expand to a jumbo one, it enables a much larger range of object storage deployment scenarios for our customers."

"Our long-term product strategy is to deliver a flexible, scalable capacity model in order to satisfy growing customer demand for a wide array of offerings to capture cloud storage footprints that were not previously addressed," said Barbara Murphy, vice president of marketing for Western Digital Corporation. "We are pleased to answer customer and end-user requests as object storage continues to proliferate throughout addressable vertical markets like media and entertainment, life sciences, and all things cloud storage."

The HGST Active Archive System, model number SA-1000 is available for immediate orders. The system will be sold through HGST sales partners, solution providers, system integrators and select OEMs. Multiple options for service and support are available.
