Momentum K.K. Launches "Performance-specific" Ad Fraud Blocking Plugin for Ad Networks and DSPs
'Black Heron' is the perfect plugin providing performance improvement for ad networks and DSPs
TOKYO, May 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Japan's leading innovating and independent ad tech company, Momentum K.K., launched and has just began accepting applications for its "performance-specific" ad fraud (advertising fraud) blocking tool, 'Black Heron.'
The newly launched tool is a plugin for ad networks and demand side platforms(DSPs) that enables examining and calculating any non-performing ads and click counts with any released online ad inventories. By adding Black Heron, ad networks and DSPs are able to improve their performance. That is to say Black Heron lowers cost per acquisition (CPA).
Performance-specific plugin for networks
A "performance-specific" plugin for networks, Black Heron is a completely new ad fraud blocking tool that is entirely different from any others. Not only does it identify 'Bot Frauds', Black Heron enables networks and DSPs to block fraudulent media in such ways as inducing intentional miss-clicks and producing ad impression fraud. Users out-putting fraudulent impressions unintentionally would also be blocked.
Since May 2015, Momentum has been providing Black Heron to many local major ad networks and DSPs as a trial package. It has proven successful in identifying 3-10% of non-conversion fraud impressions, and 8-15% of fraudulent clicks. Through the use of Black Heron, ad networks and DSPs can expect to reduce CPA by 3-7%.

"Hunger Quest - Puzzle RPG" for Smartphones from NHN PlayArt Available at App Stores in U.S. and Hong Kong
- Special Log-in Campaign for Free "Donuts" Under Way -
TOKYO, May 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- NHN PlayArt Corp., the developer and seller of the "Hunger Quest - Puzzle RPG" mobile game for smartphones, announced on May 29 that the popular game was made available for download from App Stores in the U.S. and Hong Kong from May 28, 2015.
The game app has been released in select countries and regions, including Japan, since earlier this month, topping 200,000 downloads in just the first six days of release. It has also been released on Google Play in the U.S. and Hong Kong.
- How to play
"Hunger Quest" is a puzzle RPG, set in the world of fantasy, nostalgic and warm, which appears to be easy to pick up but is actually pretty hard to master. By solving puzzles, together with fantasy town inhabitants and co-players of the world, the player becomes a hero to save the world, conquering dungeons, with all sorts of monsters and traps waiting in every bend, and eventually overthrowing the Satan lurking in the deepest part of the fantasy world.
All that the player has to do to battle enemies in dungeons is simple: connect the same colored tiles to get rid of them. The player thus cuts a way to proceed, beating monsters, evading traps and picking up items and materials in the process.
Dungeons are randomly generated, with colored tiles arranged differently each time. The player will have to think a step or two ahead before making a move, taking into consideration tile arrangement as well as enemy monsters' positions and characteristics. The player will have a fun, an intelligent one, in mulling over methods of attack in addition to the sense of achievement from solving puzzles.
There are seven major dungeons types, including three that come with the initial download and another three that can be added upon update as needed, each with a unique story which unfolds as the player proceeds. In the far depth of dungeons, the player finally squares off with the gigantic Saturn in an intense battle far more compelling than the ones against monsters.
The player who bumps into a "coffin" in dungeons can connect with other game players. The connected players can enjoy a feel of fighting together, though loosely, as they are allowed to send each other "vitality" needed to continue to play the game and borrow each other's skill to challenge dungeons. The connected players may also feel competitive upon seeing each other's progress shown in real time on the screen. Furthermore, the player can hook up with Facebook and play with friends there.
- Plenty of optional functions
"Hunger Quest" comes with the "EveryPlay" function that makes the making of a play video nothing but easy. With just the recording function kept on, all dungeon battles will be automatically recorded for a player to review them afterword or share them with friends on SNS. Moreover, by using the mobile device's camera and microphone, the player can easily make a live feed of him or her playing the game.
In addition, the game can be configured to change the language between English and Japanese, correct color vision, and change to a power-saving mode.
- Free "donut" campaign under way
Players logging in during the designated campaign period will get free donuts and jewels, once per day, which are difficult to obtain in normal circumstances. The donuts include the "magical donut" to give a new skill upon eating, the "happy donut" to give a 10-step level increase, and the "golden donut" and "platinum donut" to be sold at high prices.

HID Global Launches vanGO, Industry's First One-2-One Visual Security Solution to Eliminate Counterfeit Cards
- Industry's first One-2-One visual security solution to easily and readily identify legitimacy of card holder
- Enables universities, enterprises and state and county government agencies to create and issue personalized, secure IDs with higher levels of protection at a third of the price of current market solutions
- Inspired by similar visual authentication technology that is used in today's U.S. Green Card and has virtually eliminated mass counterfeit cards in programs
AUSTIN, Texas, May 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- HID Global® , a worldwide leader in secure identity solutions, today announced the introduction of vanGO®, a visual security solution that enables universities, enterprises and state and county government agencies to create and issue personalized, secure IDs with higher levels of protection. HID Global's vanGO portfolio sets a new standard in One-2-One(TM) personalized security that is cost-effective, counterfeit resistant and can be issued on-the-spot via an easy desktop solution.
With the vanGO solution, cards are hot-stamped with a special square metallic patch that can be written with the cardholder's facial image just before being issued using a special laser writer module and the high-performing, FARGO® HDP8500 printer from HID Global. This image creates a unique relationship between card and cardholder that makes the card nearly impossible to counterfeit. It is estimated that more than 90 percent of inspections are still undertaken by the naked eye rather than an electronic reader in the field. The increased "at-a-glance" vanGO security of each card makes it easy to visually identify and authenticate the cardholder's identity without electronic readers or access to databases.
"Our focus is to develop creative yet pragmatic solutions that address the security concerns felt by today's many organizations, from college campuses to state agencies to global enterprises," said Craig Sandness, Vice President, Secure Issuance Business with HID Global. "With this latest breakthrough in our visual security offerings, HID Global is enabling our customers to issue more advanced and secure ID cards than ever before, in the same easy-to-implement and cost-effective way that they have come to expect from us."
By adding a personalized, counterfeit-resistant image of cardholders to cards in higher educational settings, vanGO ensures that facilities and campus communities are safeguarded against counterfeiters who shouldn't have access to those areas. For government agencies such as parks and recreation departments, state offices, public safety centers, and weapons or land management bureaus, the ease of authentication offers cost-effective, "eye-readable" security that was previously unavailable. The vanGO solution also surpasses the effectiveness of conventional alternatives on the market since each image created is unique to the card and to the cardholder. Enterprises can now instantly issue secure IDs to employees and contractors easily and cost-effectively.
In developing its vanGO solution, HID Global leveraged the company's proven LaserCard® Optical Security Media (OSM) visual authentication solution. Deployed in some of the highest-security government-to-citizen ID programs in the world such as the U.S. Green Card, the OSM platform has never had an instance of counterfeiting and has virtually eliminated mass counterfeit cards in programs in which it is used.
The vanGO portolio of One-2-One(TM) visual security features includes two options. The standard vanGO option provides an affordable off-the-shelf solution in a single configuration. vanGO Custom offers a more customizable solution that allows the customer to modify the shape and location of the vanGO patch on the card or add other visual security features, such as a hologram surrounding the patch.
The vanGO visual security solution is created using a complete, easy-to-use desktop personalization solution consisting of:
-- PVC/PET composite cards featuring the vanGO patch.
-- HID Global FARGO HDP8500LW laser writer module, now available with the
FARGO HDP8500 high-definition, industrial-grade ID card printer and
encoder already used in many high-security applications.
-- HID Global Asure ID® 7.6 Card Personalization Software, which includes
custom templates for placement of the vanGO patch on HID Global cards.

HID Global's vanGO visual security solution is available now. Click here for more information.

Nureva(TM) announces the Span(TM) ideation system for business
Cloud-based software with panoramic display facilitates next-generation ideation
CALGARY, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - Nureva Inc., an early-stage technology company, announces its first business product, the Nureva Span ideation system. Ideal for design, creative processes and business-process reengineering, the Span ideation system combines a panoramic projector with a digital canvas to create an expansive 4' by 40' with 10' visible (1.2 m by 12.2 m with 3.05 m visible) team workspace. Ideation participants create their ideas on their personal devices, either a computer or tablet, and share them on the team workspace in the cloud. The system draws upon familiar, simple and flexible tools already widely used in paper-based ideation including sticky notes, images, pages and flip charts.
The digital canvas retains all of the flexibility that paper-based systems offer (e.g., large workspaces with persistent information) while overcoming many of the challenges (e.g., the awkwardness of physically moving large numbers of sticky notes, sticky notes that fall off the wall, inclusion of remote participants in the process, the need for transcription, and storage and retention of the work). The Span ideation system allows multiple teams to use a collaboration room that previously may have been dedicated to a single team for months.
"We are thrilled to launch the Span ideation system to enable teams to make the transition from paper-based ideation to a dynamic, digital environment," said Nancy Knowlton, Nureva's CEO. "We have retained the familiarity, simplicity and flexibility of sticky notes and flip charts and taken ideation to the next level in a fully digital environment."

Panoramic projector
The system's HD panoramic projector features 3000 lumens on an ultrawide 130" (330.2 cm) diagonal display in a 16:6 aspect ratio. A contrast ratio of 1800:1 provides a consistent, high-performance color and rich viewing experience. Solid-state illumination (SSI) means instant-on/off and delivers the same useful life of 25,000 hours as most flat-panel displays. Touch and pen interactivity are provided by a touch module, supporting simultaneous multiuser and multitouch activities.
U.S. pricing and availability
The software has an annual subscription of US$239 for a single-user license. The hardware (including the panoramic projector, projector wall mount, remote control, 2 pens and touch module) has an MSRP of US$9,999.

ivi Launches First-of-its-Kind Personalized TV Deeply Integrated in VOD Service
MOSCOW, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ivi, the biggest legal VOD service in Russia, has announced the launch of ivi tv - a first-of-its-kind personalized TV service based on and deeply integrated into its VOD platform. The simplicity of traditional TV finally comes together with the innovative opportunities offered by VOD, such as recommendation algorithms, a massive content catalogue, and the option to choose what to watch and when.
The service is built around the idea of combining traditional TV with a recommendation system, developed by ivi after years of studying users' preferences. Oleg Tumanov, the founder and CEO of ivi, says: "TV hasn't undergone any fundamental changes in the last 50 years. And it has been doing exactly the same thing: broadcasting content to clients, not asking for any feedback from its users or providing any option to manage your own video stream. We decided to bring together the vast functionality of VOD and the easiness of traditional TV to provide a very effective solution for our users who at some point don't want to make a choice: they just want to turn on and watch."
There are several channels on ivi tv that are aggregated through a recommendations system for each individual user; they are updated on a daily basis, depending on the history of previously watched movies and programs. In addition to these personalized channels, ivi tv offers more than 40 genre channels that include more than 25,000 units of content, as well as special channels made by ivi tv's team of editors and include the best video content from the whole ivi library.
As well as the standard TV routines such as switching channels via remote control, ivi tv offers various options to manage your video stream: rewinding, going to the start, pausing, etc. The service was launched earlier this month on the LG SMART TV platform and is now also available on Samsung. It will expand to other platforms within the next few months.
Ivi always offers technological innovations to its users and has developed several other projects, such as ivi online cinema, music.ivi, and video service for children. Ivi managed to build an effective model of mixed monetization of online content and hit the breakeven last year - making it the first VOD service in Russia to achieve that.

Raritan Helps Data Centers Leverage ITSM Investment with New DCIM Connector for ServiceNow
-- Leading DCIM Vendor Enhances Workflow Capabilities --
SOMERSET, N.J., May 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Raritan, a leading provider of data center infrastructure management (DCIM) and rack power distribution solutions, today announced that its DCIM connector for ServiceNow is generally available. Raritan is a ServiceNow Integration Partner.
"Data centers use DCIM, a subset of IT service management (ITSM), to manage their physical infrastructures, including assets, environment, power and network connections," says James Cerwinski, Director of Software at Raritan. "Although DCIM and ITSM may be used independently, there is real value in tying the management of the physical data center to the general IT management framework. By integrating the two, organizations can manage the workflow involved in changing servers and infrastructure elements more effectively, and gain more insight on IT services."
Raritan's bi-directional interface enables ServiceNow "change requests" to flow seamlessly into Raritan's DCIM change management and work order processes. As a result, users can issue change requests from ServiceNow and monitor the status of these requests -- equipment adds and moves -- from start to completion. The data center team has the ability to accept, modify, ask for clarification or reject "change requests". Then issue a detailed work order with a rack elevation image, device specifications, power and network connection details, and placement information to ensure accurate installation by the data center operations technician. This increases the efficiency and accuracy of the change process while ensuring a full electronic audit trail of all activity.
According to Gartner analysts April Adams and Federico De Silva, one of the "three areas where DCIM vendors will need to improve their offerings in response to, and anticipation of, evolving user needs in order to remain competitive is Enhanced Workflow Capabilities. Currently considered a nice-to-have feature, the ability to integrate a DCIM solution with existing change management and incident management systems will soon be a requirement on the checklist with customers that want to get the full value from their DCIM solution. Here, we look for the ability to generate a work order that indicates the rack and rack position where a device is to be installed, as well as what it will be connected to (such as power, LAN and cables) and, preferably, with clear installation instructions that can be assigned and automatically sent to a technician from within the software."*
As an open web-based solution, Raritan DCIM's workflow capabilities and connectors integrate well with ITSM software and operational support elements, such as CMDB, Service Desk, change-ticketing systems, and workflow engines. By sharing information on processes and infrastructure, data centers gain more visibility into resources and improve workflow processes.

Yoobao and VIA Co-launch USB Type-C Collection - Lead National Market
SHENZHEN, China, May 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- At the 2015 Global Sources Hong Kong Electronics Fair, Shenzhen Yoobao Technology Co. Ltd. announced the well equipped USB Type-C interface with a full range of new six series products, including Cable, Dock, Adapter, Power Bank, Car Charger and USB Hub.
Shenzhen Yoobao Technology Co. Ltd. is the exclusive enterprise to get Type-C solutions from the world's top three x86 industry (VIA Labs, Inc - Wei Feng Electronics) in China.
The USB Type-C has a new and tiny interface with the maximum transmission rate of 10Gbps and power support of 100W.
After nearly two decades of development, USB transferring speed increased from version 1.0(1.5Mbps) to 2.0 (480Mbps), and to 3.0 (5Gbps). Now a new USB cable has been developed with a maximum transmission speed of 10Gbps, which can also support a maximum power of 100W. USB Power Delivery 2.0 (PD2.0) power transmission technology can be considered a revolutionary leap, which means a high degree of pressure and high-speed transmission performance. USB3.1 is not only for the direct charging of laptops, but also a replacement of HDMI, Display Port, VGA display interfaces and other direct professional support for 4K video transmission.
Not just Nokia N1 and Apple new MacBook but many new mobiles, tablets, computers and TVs will include USB Type-C. The USB Type-C will certainly make waves in the electronic industry in coming years.
Type-C is a new form interface under USB3.1, backward compatible with USB 2.0 / 3.0. The size of Type-C is much smaller (one-third equivalent to Micro-A / B type connector). It means future devices should be smaller. Apart from the powerful transmission performance, with Type -C you don't need to worry about plugging the cable in the wrong direction.
At the Fair, Yoobao is the only producer of Type-C cables, adapters, mobile power and car chargers. Visitors were surprised to see the E-Marker chip, VLI's Type-C Solutions. This chip is the main key. Only when equipped with E-Marker chip, can digital equipment perform USB3.0, USB3.1 standard high-speed communications, and to achieve the fast charge function, USB PD2.0. Currently, there are just several firms have successfully developed the solution of USB3.1 protocol scheme, which includes TI, ST, Cypress and VLI.
E-Marker solutions VL150, launched by VLI, is the perfect solution to deliver maximum signal frequency and maximum current within the permissible norms and other issues. So the theoretical rate of 10Gbps and power transmission of 100W are possible.
Yoobao becomes the fourth global company and the first in China to be supported by VLI with E-Marker solutions due to the excellent reputation in consumer electronic industry for over 10 years.
Yoobao has the most professional and most advanced Type-C product line.
In this strategic cooperation, Yoobao became the first vendor to release a full series products of Type-C. Depending on the product line planning, Yoobao will release Type-C Cable, Type-C Dock, Type-C Power Adapter, Type-C Power Bank, Type-C Car Charger, Type-C USB Hub, a total of six product lines. Cable series are now available on Amazon US. http://www.amazon.com/s?marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me£97XU9WLCES4I&merchant£97XU9WLCES4I&redirect=true
These product lines cover almost all applications of Type-C interface. Wire Series includes C to A, C to B, C to C. In order to meet the expansion needs of the new Mac Book peripherals and other Type-C devices, Yoobao equipped Hub and Dock production lines. The full range Type-C products not only provide a new transmission scheme between devices, but also give full consideration to the conversion and transmission needs of new equipment and the transition period between the old peripheral applications.
Mentor Graphics Veloce Power Application Redefines Power Analysis Flow
WILSONVILLE, Ore., May 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Veloce(®) Power Application Software delivers:
-- A complete solution that enables a new comprehensive methodology for
power
-- Accurate and early switching activity at the application level
-- Early budgeting and tradeoff exploration at RTL
-- Analysis and sign off at the gate level
-- Real-time transfer of power switching activity, via a Dynamic Read
Waveform API, to power analysis tools replacing current file-based
activity transfer methodology
-- Tight integration with an ecosystem of industry-recognized power
analysis tools
For a technical whitepaper visit: http://www.mentor.com/products/fv/techpubs/download/?id=90538
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today released the Veloce(®) Power Application software that enables accurate, timely and efficient power analysis at the system, RTL and gate level for complex SoC designs.
Power continues to be a primary concern for handheld and smart devices with high resolutions screens that require long battery life, and even wall-plugged equipment in a datacenter or in a network configuration needs to reduce operation costs. Using FinFET process technology reduces static leakage, yet dynamic power remains a challenge.
A new usage model for handheld and smart devices is driving a methodology shift in the way power is analyzed. One primary driver in this shift is the fact that complex SoC designs are now verified using live applications that require booting the OS and running software applications on an emulator. It is more effective to use the power switching activity plot, generated during emulation, to pass real-time switching activity information to power analysis tools where potential power issues can be evaluated.
"The ITRS report, one of my many primary research projects, has emphasized the issues related to dynamic power for several years," said Gary Smith, founder and chief analyst, Gary Smith EDA. "A new approach to the transfer of power switching activity data captured during emulation is the right direction for the industry."
When designs with significant software content are run on an emulator, the current method of generating activity data creates files (like FSDB) that are too large for power analysis tools to handle practically.
The Veloce Power Application replaces the file-based power analysis flow with a Dynamic Read Waveform API integration to power analysis tools. This Dynamic Read Waveform API approach captures the information from the power switching activity plot and transfers that data to power analysis tools. This enables accurate power calculation at the system level, better power exploration at RTL for power budgeting and tradeoffs as well as more accurate power analysis and sign-off at the gate level.
The result is a significant boost in runtime and performance. The typical approach of running the emulator, creating the file, reading the file into the power analysis tool and running the power analysis tool is now, with this new approach, reduced to the emulator and power analysis runtimes.
Current early access partners and customers have seen up to a 4.5X runtime performance improvement.
"Today we have redefined the power analysis flow," said Eric Selosse, vice president and general manager of the Mentor Emulation Division. "The Veloce Power Application is a proof point to show that a new methodology that captures real power consumption during emulation and effectively passes that information to power analysis tools is more efficient."
Delivering this integration with an ecosystem of industry-recognized power analysis tool providers is essential to redefining the power analysis flow. The first Veloce Power Application ecosystem partner is ANSYS(®) with PowerArtist((TM)).
"This collaboration addresses the challenges for designers of energy-efficient IP and SoC designs in various IoT verticals," said Vic Kulkarni, Sr. vice president and general manager, RTL power business, at Apache division of ANSYS. "With our industry leading PowerArtist solution, we are delighted to be the premier partner in the Veloce Power Application ecosystem, and to work so closely with a technology leader in hardware emulation."
The Veloce Power Application integration with ANSYS PowerArtist is available to mutual customers on a limited basis. Full production release is scheduled for early Q4/CY 2015.
