ARGUS - The World's First Inner Emotion Scanner Launches on KickStarter
LONDON, June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Meet ARGUS, The World's First Contactless Facial Reader & Inner Emotion Scanner. Scan
& Read People. Analyze emotions and predict actions. Explore a New Generation of PLAY &
ART Concepts, including the very first Responsive-RPG: "The Eye: Genesis".
Imagine being able to probe and truly affect your inner feelings - and those of
others. Being able to read faces and enjoy genuine invisible emotions and senses. Analyze
and read people to anticipate their thoughts and actions like never before. Use just your
deepest emotions and feelings to create unique abstract paintings and video clips, or,
play a completely new generation of responsive games. Get inside a first-person-shooter as
it creates action, dialog, and outcomes based on your innermost feelings.
Imagine having a device that can help you do all that and a great deal more - thanks
to its ability to "see the invisible", to detect and read naturally occurring facial and
head micro-fluctuations so subtle they cannot be seen by the naked eye.
The unique Argus scanner is designed to bring a whole new world to your fingertips.
While representing a significant advance in the science of emotion analysis and stress
estimation and management, it also serves as an example of the state of technology today:
if something can be imagined, it can be created, and be found to have a far greater range
of potential uses than anyone could have dreamt of.
The micro-oscillation analysis solution consists of Argus scanners and respective
software bundles. Argus digitizes and amplifies raw analog signals, a byproduct of all
micro-oscillations. Then, it delivers this information to our biometric algorithms for
spectral analysis and processing. Through this process it delivers accurate estimates of
inner emotions; the advanced software can even analyze people via Skype or using
pre-recorded videos. Argus can be used for behaviour study, psychological research, and
educational purposes, or for fun through Argus ART & PLAY. ART has passed beta testing
with flying colours and PLAY won't keep you waiting either, as an in-house Responsive-RPG
"The Eye", is underway. More on ArguScan.com [http://www.arguscan.com?ref=pr ]
"ARGUS is the world's first automated facial reader. The Argus technology delivers a
feast of potential innovation to individuals, inventors and visionaries of all sorts. In
bringing the invisible into the light, it is destined to enable many to work and play
harder," the developers say.
Argus can impact an amazing variety of industries, from personal security to public
defense, human factor research, hands-free control systems, marketing, trading,
psychology, medicine, robotics, and business. The list goes on - to, and probably beyond,
the like of NASA's ongoing studies focused on interaction and function on month long
journeys to Mars.
Available in four models, from a mobile version through to a state-of-the-art
juggernaut for professionals, the Argus scanner is opening new doors to anyone who's
wished they had a creative tool that could match their imagination - a tool advanced
enough to let them perceive new possibilities and bring them to fruition.

Service Provider Edge Router Market Follows Record Year with Subdued Growth of 3% in 1Q15, According to Dell'Oro Group
Mobile Backhaul Primary Driver to Revenue Increase
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In a recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center information technology (IT) industries, the worldwide Service Provider Edge Router market grew slowly in the first quarter 2015 after a record year in 2014. During this quarter the Service Provider Core Router market outflanked growth in the Edge for only the second time in five years.
"The wild swings that we used to see in Service Provider Edge Router demand have smoothed out somewhat in recent years. This is the fourth consecutive quarter in which we have seen single-digit year-over-year changes in market demand," said Alam Tamboli, Senior Analyst at Dell'Oro Group. "We continue to see Service Providers invest heavily in their mobile backhaul networks and associated routers--some mobile operators are already beginning to upgrade their installed base of routers to higher capacity devices due to increased traffic demand. However, many operators have slowed their spending on routers used for fixed networks, partially offsetting this growth," Tamboli continued.
Cisco Systems, Alcatel-Lucent, Juniper Networks, and Huawei Technologies were the market share leaders in the Service Provider Router market segment, accounting for over 92 percent of revenue in 1Q15. Cisco maintained its leadership position, while Alcatel-Lucent, Juniper, and Huawei held, in rank order, the second, third, and fourth spots.

Microchip's New Smart Hub with FlexConnect Broadens Application Space of USB3.0 Hubs
New USB3.0 Smart Hub Family Reduces System BOM and Design Complexity
CHANDLER, Ariz., June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- [NASDAQ: MCHP] -- Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced from Computex Taipei the first USB3.0 Smart Hub that enable host and device port swapping, I/O bridging, and various other serial communication interfaces. The USB5734 and USB5744 feature an integrated microcontroller that enables new functionality for USB hubs while lowering overall BOM costs and reducing software complexity. The USB5734/44 family is USB-IF logo certified (TID 330000058) and features best-in-class signal integrity enabling more robust PCB designs and reducing sensitivities to cable, connector and layout variations.
A Smart Hub is a USB hub that integrates system-level functions typically associated with a separate MCU or processor. Microchip's new USB3.0 Smart hubs enable the upstream host controller to communicate to numerous types of external peripherals beyond the USB connection through direct bridging from USB to I(2)C(TM), SPI, UART and GPIO interfaces. This integrated functionality can greatly reduce the complexity of system design by eliminating the need for additional external microcontroller, while providing improved control from the USB host hardware.
Microchip's patented FlexConnect technology provides the USB5734 Smart Hub the unique ability to dynamically swap between a USB host and a USB device through hardware and/or software system commands giving the new USB host access to downstream resources. This same FlexConnect technology can also switch common downstream resources between two different USB hosts. Incorporating FlexConnect into a system simplifies the overall software requirements of the primary host, as class drivers and application software stay local to the Device-turned-Host.
System developers can easily configure ports and choose application settings with low-cost resistor bootstraps. If more advanced functionality is required, the USB5734/44 can be configured and programmed with Microchip's configuration tool, ProTouch2.
The USB5734 and USB5744 USB3.0 controller hubs serve a wide range of applications in the computing, embedded, medical, industrial and networking markets. Examples of end applications include HDTV, tablets, notebooks, eReaders, cameras, docking stations, monitors, handheld devices, point-of-sale equipment, ATMs, set-top boxes, break-out boxes, motion sensors, among others. Available 56-pin, 7 x 7 mm package, the USB5744 is the industry's smallest USB3.0 Hub for applications where board space is important.
"Microchip's new Smart Hubs build on three generations of successful USB3.0 hubs, integrating more advanced functionality through additional communication interfaces, while our unique FlexConnect technology adds host port swapping and switching," said Mitch Obolsky, vice president of Microchip's USB and Networking Group. "The USB5734 and USB5744 simplify system design, reduce board area, are USB-IF logo certified and deliver Microchip's proven USB hub interoperability."

Blind Ballot Ventures Introduces an Innovative New Reality Game Based on Presidential Elections
ORLANDO, Fla., June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Blind Ballot Ventures today introduced a new mobile reality game, The People's President, and the launch of a related crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. The People's President is a fun and creative fantasy game based on the world's biggest competition, the U.S. Presidential election.
The People's President is a groundbreaking competition to determine a mythical President of the United States. The game capitalizes on the growing apathy and aversion towards the current political environment, in which candidates are selected based upon age, race, gender, education, and party sponsorship, rather than true ideas. The People's President removes all the negative ads, perceived media biases, special interests and political parties, and replaces them with a platform where only ideas count and candidates complete on a fair and equitable basis.
The People's President utilizes a progressive series of fun and challenging weekly games allowing candidates to develop and expand on a Presidential Platform, mimicking a real Presidential Election. Weekly winners advance based on popular vote, leading to the ultimate selection of a mythical President.
All voters and candidates participate anonymously with only the winner of the final election identified. "By participating blindly, the voters and candidates alike are free to introduce and support creative, as well as controversial ideas without fear of backlash from friends, family, the media or other competitors," said Andy Crabtree, one of the games creators.
"Our idea was to create Fantasy Elections, stripping away all the negativity, and focus only on ideas. We hope the public will see the opportunity to regain a voice and support us on Kickstarter," said Todd Childress, President of Blind Ballot Ventures, Inc.
Mr. Childress added, "Tens of millions of people each week cast votes to determine America's best singer, dancer, talent, cook and model. The People's President takes this same appetite to compete and decide America's best, and apply it to the world's biggest competition. My suspicion is that we may just elect a school teacher, autoworker or disabled vet over a privileged lawyer."
Blind Ballot Ventures Inc. is privately-held software application and game developer located in Orlando, Florida. Additional information can be obtained on Kickstarter.com, The Peoples President.

FCA US LLC Looks 20 Years Into the Future With SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo
Single-Seat Hybrid Powertrain Concept Vehicle to be Released Exclusively in Gran Turismo®6
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
-- Engineered by the SRT (Street and Racing Technology) engineering team,
the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo is the latest vehicle to be
released in Gran Turismo 6 as part of Polyphony Digital Inc.'s Vision
Gran Turismo collaboration with leading automotive manufacturers, design
houses and other leading global brands
-- Single-seat SRT Tomahawk based on a 20-year forward vision of existing
and future potential technologies
-- Aggressive, functional exterior design selected from sketch competition
open to entire FCA US design community
-- Three powerful versions - S, GTS-R and X - offering increasing levels of
performance and technology
-- Futuristic hybrid powertrain combines wide-angle V-10 with pneumatically
driven front wheels
-- Range-topping SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo X boasts 2,590 hp
combined
Making its debut today, FCA US LLC's latest concept car, the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo, is a single-seat concept that pulls from existing and potential technologies to test the limits of performance. Gran Turismo®6 (GT6(TM)) fans can stretch those limits on the virtual track this summer when then the V-10, 2,590 combined horsepower SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo X launches exclusively in GT6 for the PlayStation®3 console.
The SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo is the latest addition to the Vision Gran Turismo project where automakers, design houses and leading brands around the globe showcase special concept vehicles exclusively in Gran Turismo®, one of the most popular video game franchises in history. Beginning summer 2015, players can access three powerful versions of the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo by successfully completing online challenges of varying degrees of difficulty in GT6.
After completing the challenges, players will find the entry level SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo S, the racing version GTS-R and the experimental technology ultimate version X concept vehicles in the game's SRT garage.
"I'm truly happy that FCA and its performance division, SRT, have captured the spirit of the Vision Gran Turismo with the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo," said Kazunori Yamauchi, creator of Gran Turismo and president of Polyphony Digital, Inc. "FCA designers took part in a design competition and the concept that was chosen is extreme in every way with its striking form, aerodynamic proportions, internal mechanisms and advanced driver's suit. Due to the radical design of the vehicle, our physics team had to develop new physics for Gran Turismo in order to represent the car properly in the game. We thank everyone at FCA who enjoyed the Vision Gran Turismo project and I am looking forward to the day when we can share the vision of SRT with Gran Turismo players."
Internal Design Competition Brings Multitude of Ideas
The extreme exterior look of the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo was born from an internal design competition that sought a futuristic (2035) interpretation of a high-performance Dodge. But this single-seat car is more than just digital design fantasy.
"It doesn't take much to bring out the competitive spirit of the FCA US design team," said Ralph Gilles, Head of Design, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. "We have plenty of Gran Turismo fans in the room and every one of them has the same goal - win the race. Everything we've done with the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo aims for that goal."
The popularity of video games among the members of the FCA US design studios meant that giving the GT6 assignment to one person or one studio was not an option. Everyone, from interns to seasoned designers, was invited to submit a sketch. As a result, designers worked on their sketches in their spare time, weekends and after hours producing a flood of proposals.
At the conclusion of the judging process, Paul Hoste was selected as the winner. Hoste, a young designer and new to FCA, grew up playing Gran Turismo. He was inspired by concept art and gravitated toward a design that had amped up, voluptuous curves that paid homage to iconic Dodge performance vehicles.
The overall shape of the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo imparts a sense of movement and flow. The front view conveys an aggressive, almost menacing character, while the rear view takes on a bolder and powerful aesthetic with angular graphics and asymmetric look to the fenders.
All of the transparent elements, including the cockpit and engine cover, are made from ultra-light graphene skins. The driver views the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo's instruments and communication system on a clear digital overlay on the graphene windshield.
A large air intake for engine cooling is mounted on the hood. Active panels mounted above the front and rear fenders are constantly moving, via pneumatic assist, to create the optimal amount of aerodynamic downforce for braking assist and traction under acceleration.
An overhead view of the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo is marked by a "pinched-waist" silhouette. An exposed aluminum spine channels air to help cool the V-10 engine.
Curved, voluptuous surfacing was used to create a timeless design that is accented by functional NACA style air intakes on the front and large air intakes for engine and brake cooling on the side.
The rear of the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo has been thoughtfully designed for high impact - as this is the primary view for the gamer (and his or her competitors) during play. A bold, carbon fiber graphic detail is prominent. Thin LED lights and five large exhaust ports are integrated in the rear diffuser to create an intimidating and planted look.
Hoste worked closely with SRT engineering to optimize the hard points and performance numbers of his design for function and aerodynamics.
A Virtual Car Engineered for the Real World
With a full set of engineering and performance specifications developed by the SRT engineering team at FCA US, the capabilities of the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo are rooted in an effort to push performance just beyond the limits of known science.
The entire vehicle design, from the driver position to the nearly flat layout of the V-10 engine, is intended to achieve the lowest possible center of gravity. The SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo was engineered and developed to the same uncompromising standards as any SRT vehicle on the road today. SRT engineers also worked in their spare time and on weekends to create three extremely fast cars that test the limits of human physiology.
"We had fun stretching our minds to create the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo for GT6. The game places a high emphasis on capturing reality in a virtual environment; our goal was to respect that philosophy by focusing on plausible future technologies that could achieve our vision of extreme performance," said Mike Shinedling, Manager - Advanced Concepts, SRT Engineering, FCA US LLC. "Everyone can appreciate an exquisite design and something that is beautifully engineered; when those two things are brought together in a fusion of cooperation, there is nothing more exciting."
Key engineering features of the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo include:
-- Ultra-lightweight materials used in the chassis and body work result in
a car that weighs just 1,658 pounds in its ultimate performance
configuration - just slightly heavier than a current day Formula One
race car.
-- Rear wheels are powered by a wide-angle (144 degrees) V-10 engine that
delivers up to 2,168 horsepower.
-- Front wheels are pneumatically driven independently. Combined with the
V-10 powertrain, the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo boasts up to 2,590
hp. Maximum performance version the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo
rolls with 1.56 hp per pound.
-- In addition to the front wheel power unit, pressurized air drives
fast-actuating aerodynamic body panels for enhanced braking/traction
performance, and activates driver's G-suit during extreme maneuvers.
Pressurized air is stored in tanks integrated into SRT Tomahawk Vision
Gran Turismo's chassis to negate any weight penalty.
Three Performance Levels
The SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo comes in three variations:
-- Entry-level S: Game players must first master the base version of the
SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo. The 7.0-liter wide-angle V-10 is tuned
to deliver 792 hp (compared with 645 hp for the 8.4-liter V-10 in the
2015 Dodge Viper). The pneumatically driven front wheels add 215 hp, for
total system output of 1,007 hp. With a curb weight of 2,026 pounds,
this version of the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo is the heaviest,
yet it has a top speed in excess of 250 mph.
-- Racing version GTS-R: Race tuning pushes output of the V-10 to 1,137 hp,
while the air-driven front wheels add 313 hp for total system output of
1,450 hp. Aggressive weight-cutting techniques whittle the curb weight
of the Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo GTS-R to 1,459 pounds (the lightest
of any version) and the top speed in excess of 300 mph.
-- Experimental technology ultimate version X: This is the ultimate
Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo. With a redline set at 14,500 rpm, the V-10
engine pumps out 2,168 hp (nearly three times the output from the base
Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo S) The front wheel drivetrain contributes
an additional 422 hp at peak, for total output of 2,590 hp. That gives
the Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo X a top speed of 404 mph. Due to the
extreme performance of the X version, the driver is required to wear a
G-suit for protection.
The single-seat, mid-engine, all-wheel-drive SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo uses a purpose-built composite chassis. The chassis uses emerging and advanced materials, including hollow carbon nanofibers and graphene micro-lattice structures. Filament-wound pneumatic cylinders are integral structural elements laminated into the chassis.
To assist in cooling the carbon brake disks, the pneumatic front power unit builds up a "chill-sink" with expanding air during power delivery. This chill-sink is used to deliver required brake cooling with a minimal amount of air flow, thus greatly reducing aerodynamic drag.
In order to withstand the massive cornering and down force loads, next-generation compounds and construction were used to create the tires. The on-board pneumatic system continuously monitors and adjusts tire pressures according to the vehicle demands.
Charge, Recover, Release
While the V-10 engine drives the rear wheels, the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo's front wheels are linked to a variable-fin quad-stage pneumatic power unit that can quickly store and release energy. When the Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo's brakes are activated, or the V-10 engine is not at max power, the pneumatic power unit compresses air into the long, composite tanks that are structural members of the chassis. The compressed air is released to drive the front wheels, power the Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo active aero panels and pressurize the driver's G-suit in the Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo X.
Pneumatic energy is generated in three ways:
-- Pre-race full charge
-- Braking re-generation charge via independent power units at each front
wheel
-- Engine charge during braking and as part of the stability control
system. During hard corner-exit and launch acceleration, when wheel spin
is detected, excess available power is pulled from the engine via a
third power unit
Pneumatic energy is released in five primary ways:
-- Front-wheel drive
-- Fast actuation of aerodynamic panels
-- Charging the variable spring rate suspension system
-- Wake modification for low drag, high speed runs on long straights
(Nordschleife Dottinger-Hohe, Mulsanne Straight, Bonneville Salt
Flats/LSR)
-- Pressurization of driver G-suit
Aggressive Aerodynamics
SRT engineers called for an aggressive aerodynamic strategy to manage airflow at extreme speeds. The Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo's aerodynamic system reacts to inputs from a forward scanning laser system that detects surface changes. The computer controls anticipate changes in vehicle ride height, pitch and yaw and adjust the splitter accordingly.
The SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo not only generates a tremendous amount of downforce, it also generates yaw force, normally seen in aircraft. There are nine active aerodynamic panels and two front splitters that actively steer the car through the air and help the vehicle corner at extreme speeds. These aerodynamic features are constantly adjusting to track conditions and driver inputs in order to provide the highest level of down force when needed. However, in a top speed run, the panels can be tucked to create a slippery, low-drag shape.
The V-10's exhaust system is routed to the rear diffuser in a series of paired runners. Flow from the exhaust works in conjunction with the active aerodynamic system to provide an acceleration of underbody flow at the rear of the car and create a blown diffuser effect that increases down force without a negative effect on drag.
Pneumatics also drive the Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo's suspension. The car rides on a set of variable-rate pneumatic springs with adjustable jounce and rebound damping. A revolutionary active camber system adjusts the wheel knuckles to "lean" the vehicle into turns, with each wheel angling outboard or inboard to maintain the optimum tire contact patch and highest possible mechanical grip.

Wireless Earbuds and Smartphone App Allow You To Control the Way You Hear the World and Transform Any Live Listening Experience
Kickstarter Campaign Gives Supporters Early Access and Special Rewards
NEW YORK, June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Doppler Labs today unveiled the Here Active Listening System(TM), the first in-ear system designed to let you instantly control and personalize your live audio environment. Here consists of two wireless, in-ear buds and a connected smartphone app that give you control of any live listening experience. Use a volume slider, equalizer and effects to adjust real world sound for everyday scenarios like concerts, sporting events, air travel, open office environments or noisy commutes and create the perfect audio environment - for you - no matter the situation.
Doppler Labs also announced the launch of a Kickstarter campaign (http://bit.ly/hereplus), which runs through the beginning of July. This campaign allows consumers to purchase the Here system before it is available on the commercial market, be a part of developing the Here audio platform and have access to other exclusive Kickstarter rewards.
"With the Here Active Listening System we want to give you the tools to have the perfect listening experience," said Noah Kraft, CEO and Co-Founder of Doppler Labs. "We all perceive sound differently, but everyone has been to a concert where the audio wasn't quite right or has been subjected to a long flight with a screaming baby. Here changes all that, giving control back to the listener by allowing you to curate what you hear and how you hear it. Our goal is to make it so you never have to deal with noise or a bad mix ever again."
Here's features include:
-- Real World Volume Control: Turn up, turn down or reduce your
surroundings to get the volume of your world exactly where you want it.
-- Equalizer: Use five EQ sliders to adjust how you hear the bass, mids or
treble of live music (or the real world).

These include SDN-IP peering application deployments at Internet2 in the U.S. and FIU/AmLight to South America as well as a BGP Peering Router deployment at CSIRO, Australia. Continuing ONOS' aggressively iterative release schedule of new versions every three months, Cardinal improves performance for flow operations, application intent processing and network topology maintenance by more than 25 percent.
In addition to POCs for enabling management of multi-layer IP/optical networks and migration to SDN networks using the SDN-IP peering application, Cardinal creates several new uses by enabling the central office to be re-architected as a data center (CORD).
Cardinal's Application Intent Framework supports all the key solution POCs that will be demonstrated at the Open Networking Summit (ONS2015) conference with extensions such as MPLS and tunnel support added to the framework to support a wide variety of SDN applications.
A new flow-objective subsystem in the distributed core enables device agnostic SDN deployment. It allows apps to use a variety of OpenFlow switches with support for multiple tables without being concerned about the device specific details. It is definitely a big step forward towards the inter-operability and elimination of the solution silos that exist today.
At the southbound, NETCONF and PCEP interfaces are now available, and the TL1 interface will be used by two vendors for a few solution POCs although TL1 is not yet available from ONOS for open source distribution.
Cardinal has additional capabilities added to make deployment easier from experience gained in deploying in Internet2 and in a recent demonstration connecting ESnet in California and AARNet in Australia.
"The ONOS team has been running on all cylinders and continues to increase momentum with the help from the community," said Bill Snow, vice president of Engineering at ON.Lab. "The code base continues to add functionality, while keeping code quality high and continually improving performance. ONOS' use cases really show its unique capabilities to transform service provider and mission critical networks."
Along with some of its partners, ON.Lab will demonstrate the following POCs at ONS2015:
-- CORD (Central Office Re-architected as Datacenter) - SDN enabled DC
fabric- VNF at the CO (vCPE, vOLT, vBNG)
-- SDN enabled Multi-layer Network Control
-- Migration path towards SDN: SDN-IP peering application
-- Internet2 real-world deployment showcase
All of the POCs will use real hardware and third-party software functions and are the result of joint efforts by ON.Lab, multiple vendors and network operators.
The ONOS project is gaining a lot of momentum. Each ONOS release has a clear focus and continues to validate its coherent and clean-slate software architecture design, industry leading performance/scale/HA, and the empowerment of SDN/NFV deployments and solutions.
Since the announcement of open source, the network industry giant Cisco, and two major Service Providers SK Telecom and China Unicom joined the project as funding partners. There is also significant growth in terms of the number of collaborating organizations and individuals in the ONOS community.
The ONOS project continues the effort in collaborating with other open source projects such as ONF and OPNFV. Recently ONOS officially joined the effort for one of the OPNFV use cases. In addition, ONOS will join ONF to showcase some of the important solution POCs together at ONS2015 as well.
ON.Lab's POCs will be part of the SDN Solutions Showcase during ONS2015 that takes place June 15-18 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The Showcase will be open during expo hours on June 16 from 12 - 2 p.m. and 5:30 - 8 p.m. PDT; June 17 from 12 - 8:30 p.m. PDT; and June 18 from 10:30 a.m. - 2 p.m. PDT.

AVer's New VC520 All-in-One Conference Camera Brings Flawless Video Communication To Large Workgroups
Industry's Only Sub-$1,000 Camera Built for Workgroups of Six to Twenty People
FREMONT, Calif., June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AVer Information Inc., a leading provider of innovative educational and business technology solutions, announced today the launch of the AVer VC520, an advanced all-in-one video and audio USB conference camera system designed for workgroups of six to twenty people that need the power of professional full 1080p video capabilities in a package costing under $1,000. The VC520 is the first conference camera to cater to workgroups of this size.
Users can flexibly operate the VC520 with all their favorite videoconferencing applications including WebEx, Google Hangouts, Skype, GoToMeeting, Skype for Business (Lync), and Zoom. As a plug and play device, the VC520 bypasses many of the challenges of traditional videoconferencing solutions such as clumsy setup processes, dealing with firewall issues, and software downloads.
One touch customization comes to life with the VC520's ten camera presets. With a click of the remote, the device can move from person to person seamlessly without interruption. Details are brought to life with the 12x optical zoom, which smoothly pans, tilts, and zooms to capture whiteboard content and product demonstrations. The VC520 eliminates the sad sight of workers huddling over a single conference speakerphone. A speakerphone is included with the system and allows users to "daisy chain" another speakerphone for amazingly wide coverage to large rooms.
"Only a small percentage of companies currently have professional videoconferencing capabilities, but this will need to change as the workforce evolves," said Kevin Dorgan, National Sales and Marketing Manager of AVer Information Inc. "The big shift is the rise of Millennials in the workplace who will account for more than 46% of the workforce by 2020. This is a generation that grew up with the Internet and instant access to video content. They're used to such tools in their social lives and expect the same capabilities in the business world. It's a changing marketplace, and our cost-effective VC520 is the perfect device to meet this generational need for simple visual-based communication."
Busy users can be rest assured their investment is protected with AVer's industry-leading three-year warranty for the VC520 (in the U.S. and Canada). For U.S. customers, this comes with a 72 - hour advanced replacement program within the first year meaning that AVer will replace any products that should happen to break.

adapted to the application's target resolution and frame rate. It is for example
possible to quickly derive versions of the encoder specifically optimized for
resolutions like High Definition (1080p@30Hz or 1080p@60Hz), 4K@30Hz or Ultra High
definition: 4K@60Hz-10bit.
"Thanks to an improved compression efficiency and to its adoption by YouTube, VP9 has
gained a huge traction in the video industry. Our customers are eager to quickly integrate
VP9 support in their next generation SoCs. With our innovative multi-format architecture
our customers can now add support for high quality/low bandwidth VP9 encoding with no
significant increase in SoC area, power consumption or memory bandwidth," said Pierre
Marty, Allegro DVT's CEO. "WebM project is really excited to see the first true VP9
enabled multi-format encoder IP to enter the semiconductor market," says Jani Huoponen,
product manager for WebM hardware. "VP9 hardware decode support in the chipsets and

1 Billion Helmets Smashed in Drive Ahead! - Global Racing Game Hit on iOS
HELSINKI, June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
'Drive Ahead!' is a gladiatorial arena racing game where you score by hitting friends
in the head with a car. Players have smashed over 1 billion helmets in less than three
weeks. It's generating $10,000 in daily revenue from advertising and in-app purchases.
This triumph is powered by an online fan community sharing over 200,000 gameplay
clips. Installations for the local multiplayer game total 1.7 million on the App Store
(launched May 14, 2015). The largest markets are the USA, Russia, Australia, China and the
UK.
Self-published by Dodreams Ltd., 'Drive Ahead!' reached the #1 position for all games
in 20 countries and Top 5 ranking in 125 countries on iPad download charts at launch.
Retention is high of 62 % for Day 1 and 31 % for Day 7. Median session length is 3.3
minutes and 500,000 daily active users play 3.1 times a day on average.
'Drive Ahead!' is a local multiplayer game, where players battle with off-road cars,
garbage trucks, go-karts and more. Users can complete daily challenges in single-player
mode. They collect virtual credits to unlock more cars and arenas in an in-game casino.
The game is based on a concept created by developer Jari Raisanen. "When testing,
playing caused such loud laughter and shouting that I had to move our team into a
soundproof room. That's when we knew we had a hit on our hands", says CEO Erik
Pontiskoski.
Founded in 2008 Dodreams is a game studio with 7 employees based in Helsinki, Finland.
In our experience, parents hate it when kids fight over whose turn it is to play. There
are few games to play when hanging out with friends. Thus the goal of the company is to
bring family and friends together with multiplayer games.

Service Provider Edge Router Market Follows Record Year with Subdued Growth of 3% in 1Q15, According to Dell'Oro Group
Mobile Backhaul Primary Driver to Revenue Increase
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In a recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center information technology (IT) industries, the worldwide Service Provider Edge Router market grew slowly in the first quarter 2015 after a record year in 2014. During this quarter the Service Provider Core Router market outflanked growth in the Edge for only the second time in five years.
"The wild swings that we used to see in Service Provider Edge Router demand have smoothed out somewhat in recent years. This is the fourth consecutive quarter in which we have seen single-digit year-over-year changes in market demand," said Alam Tamboli, Senior Analyst at Dell'Oro Group. "We continue to see Service Providers invest heavily in their mobile backhaul networks and associated routers--some mobile operators are already beginning to upgrade their installed base of routers to higher capacity devices due to increased traffic demand. However, many operators have slowed their spending on routers used for fixed networks, partially offsetting this growth," Tamboli continued.
Cisco Systems, Alcatel-Lucent, Juniper Networks, and Huawei Technologies were the market share leaders in the Service Provider Router market segment, accounting for over 92 percent of revenue in 1Q15. Cisco maintained its leadership position, while Alcatel-Lucent, Juniper, and Huawei held, in rank order, the second, third, and fourth spots.

Essence Introduces Apple® Watch App for its WeR@Home(TM) Connected Home Platform
HERZLIYA, Israel, June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
- WeR@Home new version update offers enhanced flexibility for end users and
their service providers
Essence [http://www.essence-grp.com ], leading provider of IoT, cloud-based
connected-living solutions, has significantly enhanced the features of its award-winning
WeR@Home(TM) Multi-service Connected Home platform. WeR@Home is now one of the first Smart
Home solutions that lets consumers receive alerts, control their home security, and manage
their home automation from their Apple(R) Watches.
This version of WeR@Home allows service providers to offer tiered activity levels,
increasing the flexibility of their offerings. Meanwhile, the Multi-Place feature gives
end-users the ability to control and manage more than one location from a single
smartphone app.
With the Apple Watch application, WeR@Home users can take care of things on the go:
- Arm and disarm the system in all the pre-set arming modes
- Receive event notifications
- Control their Z-Wave home automation and energy management devices
- Create shortcuts that allow them to quickly perform functions such as running
Smart Automation rules or getting peace of mind by taking videos from the cameras
WeR@Home(TM) offers a seamless connected-home experience for security, safety and
remote home management. Featuring cloud-to-cloud and Z-wave-based integration, WeR@Home
lets consumers control more than 1,000 devices - everything from security and nanny cams
to stereos and thermostats.
"Consumers want complete control of their home where they want it. The Apple Watch
application enhances the customer usability," said Dr. Haim Amir, Essence Chairman & CEO.
"Meanwhile, for service providers, we've designed the newest features so they have the
option to introduce services with a basic package and then offer premium services without
any integration or custom programming requirements and available on the most advanced
devices. They can also structure their service packages by values such as security,
energy, or child care."
The features provided in the basic and premium service offerings are defined in
advance, allowing different levels of automation rules capabilities in accordance with the
customers' wishes. For example, the basic package provides scheduling, like setting the
alarm to arm itself at any given time, while the advanced offerings can set more advanced
"if this/then that and that..." parameters, such as turning the lights on or off when
activating the alarm.
The Multi-Place function allows end-users to manage secondary homes as well as their
main residences. Users can also have limited access to other people's homes such as a
parent, neighbor or customers, in the case of nannies or domestic professionals servicing
several clients.
Essence's feature-laden connected-living solutions are accessible from anywhere and
any device, with the mobile app equipped with the exact same capabilities as the web
control system. Essence's recent study of IoT usage showed that most people used their
mobile remote access for visual confirmation of home security.
"No matter how complex the system backend actually is, we never lose sight of the fact
that it must remain simple to implement and use, and easily adjustable in accordance with
changing consumer needs. The Apple Watch interface is just that." concluded Dr. Amir.

Mentor Graphics Announces EZ-VIP Package for Enhanced Testbench Productivity
WILSONVILLE, Ore., June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the immediate availability of the EZ-VIP productivity package for ASIC and FPGA verification teams using Questa(®) Verification IP (QVIP). This package increases productivity by reducing the time spent creating, instantiating, configuring and connecting up a QVIP testbench by 5X or more. This means verification teams have more time available to use QVIP to verify that their design is functionally correct.
The EZ-VIP package consists of QVIP Configurator software, a VIP bring up service package and a new EZ-VIP API. The QVIP Configurator software creates, instantiates and configures UVM testbenches for all protocols in the QVIP library, including PCIe, AMBA, USB, Ethernet, MIPI and Memory protocols, avoiding the time-consuming and error-prone process of writing these testbenches by hand. In many verification projects, a complicated end-to-end UVM verification infrastructure has to be created before a single test can be written. The bring up service package leverages the Mentor(®) protocol expertise and experience to allow project teams to start from a working, connected end to end testbench. This means verification teams can be productive writing tests immediately. The new EZ-VIP API provides easy-to-use stimulus, transaction logging, and delay control, so that test writers can focus on the behavior of their tests without being delayed by the complexity of UVM.
"We have been highly productive using Mentor's QVIP library," said Sundararajan Haran, engineering manager of logic verification and ASIC for Microsemi Corporation. "With other tools in Mentor's Enterprise Verification Platform such as Questa Portable Stimulus Solutions combined with VIP, Verification Management and Formal Solutions, we have been able to rapidly verify different configurations for our SoC FPGA product families."
The Questa VIP library provides engineers with standard UVM SystemVerilog (SV) components using a common architecture across all supported protocols. This allows rapid deployment of multiple protocols within a verification team. Test plans, compliance tests, test sequences and protocol coverage are all included as SV and XML source code, allowing simple re-use, extension and debug. The Mentor VIP components also include a comprehensive set of protocol checks, error injection and debug capabilities.
"Verification IP is key component of our Enterprise Verification Platform, which provides a complete verification solution from virtual prototyping to simulation, emulation, FPGA prototyping and post-silicon debug," said John Lenyo, vice president and general manager, Design Verification Technology Division, Mentor Graphics. "The EZ-VIP productivity package means that our customers can achieve their verification goals quickly and reliably."
About the Questa Functional Verification platform
The Questa Functional Verification platform is a core technology in the Mentor Enterprise Verification Platform (EVP) - a platform that boosts productivity in ASIC, FGPA and SoC functional verification by combining advanced verification technologies in a comprehensive platform.

Color Brightness Specification and Projector Performance
The color brightness specification (measuring red, green and blue) published by the Society of Information Display (SID) allows consumers to compare projector color performance without conducting a side-by-side shootout. With today's high definition content, teachers and students can display content with higher quality in brighter environments. For a truly impressive image, projectors need to offer both high color brightness and high white brightness. High color brightness is important for larger screen sizes and provides flexibility for a variety of screen materials. Without sufficient color brightness, images may be muddy, soft and lose detail, even in a dark room. For more information, visit http://www.colorlightoutput.com.
