Red Lion Adds New Event Engine to RAM Industrial Cellular RTUs
Remote Monitoring M2M Solution Enhances Real-Time Control and Notification in Industrial Environments
YORK, Pa., May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Red Lion Controls, the global experts in communication, monitoring and control for industrial automation and networking, today announced its Sixnet® series RAM® industrial cellular RTUs now feature a web-based user-configurable event engine that can trigger I/O and relays or send SMS text messages based on real-time operational data. With connectivity options such as I/O, serial, Ethernet and optional Wi-Fi, RAM RTUs easily integrate with existing equipment to provide a remote monitoring M2M solution that performs reliable local control and alerts personnel of critical events.
With an intuitive web-based, menu-driven interface that requires no knowledge of programming languages, the powerful RAM event engine can quickly be configured to trigger actions when pre-defined alarm values are met.

This function helps automation engineers, technicians, production managers and network operators make critical decisions.
"With the addition of the web-based event engine, the RAM cellular RTU becomes an all-in-one platform for remote monitoring and control," said Paul Bunnell, product manager at Red Lion Controls. "This versatile solution takes the complexity out of configuring events and notification without requiring additional equipment."
By providing data visibility, control and real-time notifications on field-deployed equipment and processes, the RAM platform enables vertical markets such as oil and gas, utilities, water/wastewater and alternative energy to take advantage of the benefits associated with the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). With hardened metal enclosures, a wide operating temperature range and industry certifications to ensure safe operation in hazardous locations, RAM cellular RTUs securely monitor remote devices via 4G LTE cellular communications to enable reliable operation in critical environments.

Huawei Showcases Latest NFV Solutions at NFV WORLD CONGRESS in San Jose, Ushering in Industry Transformation with SoftCOM
Facilitating the Maturation of an Open Ecosystem and Accelerating NFV Commercialization Through Practice
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei, a leading global ICT solutions provider, will attend the NFV World Congress, to be held in San Jose, USA from May 5 to May 8. At the conference, Huawei will share its experience of how its SoftCOM strategy leverages network functions virtualization (NFV), software-defined networking (SDN), and cloud computing to build ICT convergence networks. Relying on its NFV/SDN Open Labs, Huawei actively works with Standardization organizations, open source communities, and partners across the industry chain to build an open and mature ecosystem and assist carriers in steering towards ICT transformation.
Openness: Huawei will provide a remote online tour of its leading NFV/SDN Open Labs.
Open Platform for NFV (OPNFV) is a carrier-grade, integrated, open source reference platform for NFV. As one of the eight verification labs for OPNFV, the NFV/SDN Open Lab has recently been successfully completed in Xi'an China (see https://wiki.opnfv.org/lab4_huawei for details). So far, six of Huawei's applications for open source project initiation have been approved by OPNFV, and the company has participated in almost every OPNFV open source project. Responsible for most OPNFV open source projects, Huawei led the implementation of the continuous integration (CI) project, SFC project (OpenStack-based VNF Forwarding Graph), and ONOS project (ONOS Framework), etc. In addition, Huawei has collaborated with major NFV Solution providers across the industry chain to conduct interoperability tests in NFV/SDN Open Labs located in Asia, Europe, and North America, in order to ensure compatibility between NFV solutions from different vendors and allow carriers the freedom to choose from a variety of suppliers. In 2015, Huawei plans to partner with 150+ industry partners with the aim of carrying out in-depth joint exploration to promote NFV industry development. At the NFV World Congress, attendees will have the chance to take a remote tour of Huawei's NFV/SDN Open Labs.
Practice: Huawei will demonstrate its commercial NFV solutions
In 2015, all of Huawei's Core network products will support virtualization and be ready for commercial use. Huawei's NFV product roadmap is far ahead of other industry providers, and the company boasts an extensive understanding of the telecom sector, which it uses to ensure 99.999% carrier-level reliability, after the core network cloudified. Meanwhile, the separation of services from data enables Huawei's business processing unit to achieve elastic scaling without affecting ongoing services. Service scaling can be shortened from days to minutes. To date, Huawei has conducted joint NFV-based innovations and verifications with many leading carriers from around the world, including Vodafone, DT, China Mobile, MegaFon, and Telefonica. With over 50 NFV commercial and Proof of Concept (PoC) projects, Huawei becomes core network virtualization supplier for Antares of Russia, Hutchison in the UK, Monaco Telecom, Surfline and Ooredoo group.
Huawei successfully deployed the world's first commercial NFV-based voice over LTE (VoLTE) network in Europe. For this project, Huawei not only provided the Virtualized IP Multimedia Subsystem (vIMS), but also acted as the primary integrator, responsible for end-to-end vertical and horizontal integration. Through its professional project delivery teams, rich integration experience, and highly efficient integration tools, Huawei completed commercial delivery within a short timeframe. Huawei has been building NFV integration and service capabilities around the world in order to develop into a primary integrator capable of offering customers end-to-end integration and network O&M services.
Innovation: Huawei will showcase an innovative business model for NFV architecture to allow the provisioning of new services to be as easily as app installations.
Huawei's Virtualized Multiple Service Engine (vMSE) solution for NFV architecture provides an open platform for third-party partner to quickly deploy value-added services (VAS) within the network. Through this developers can realize automated service provisioning, configuration and management, similar to an app installation. Furthermore, the unified traffic payment system provided by the vMSE solution has been successfully deployed by China Mobile. This system supports traffic payment by OTTs rather than users while providing acceleration services for mobile games based on Tencent Games, an OTT company.
According to a recent survey, "Operator's best choice for SDN/NFV solution provider", conducted by the renowned consulting firm Current Analysis, Huawei has been listed as the best SDN/NFV solutions provider by leading global carriers for two consecutive years.
The NFV World Congress takes place in San Jose from May 5 to May 8. Huawei will deliver a speech focusing on "NFV Architecture" at 17:00 on May 6 local time, followed by a keynote speech "SoftCOM, Accelerate NFV&SDN into Reality" at 10:40 on May 7.

"Each title in our collection has been reviewed and approved by a committee to ensure age appropriateness, non violence, no strong language, and no sexual dialogue or situations," said Nancy Hamilton, Isabella Products' director of publishers and partnerships, and a former educator. "With Fable, we can provide parents and teachers the confidence and peace of mind they deserve when allowing a child to explore on a tablet."
Children can explore all that Fable has to offer whether they're on the go, in school or at home. Stylish headphones -- among other accessories -- are available so children can plug in and quietly play games, watch videos or read an interactive book.

Jabra Evolve Lets You Stay in 'The Zone' with Intelligent Call Transfer for Skype For Business
The widely acclaimed noise canceling headset series, Jabra Evolve, introduces new Intelligent Call Transfer functionality for Skype for Business - allowing end-users to keep the headset on, and the conversation going while moving the call from softphone to mobile phone - and rushing out the door.
CHICAGO, May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Ignite -- Jabra, a leading manufacturer of innovative audio solutions, today announced a groundbreaking upgrade to its newest product series, Jabra Evolve(TM). Jabra Evolve is the industry's first series of professional noise-cancellation headsets supporting both the collaboration and concentration needs of knowledge workers in open office environments. In use with Skype for Business, Jabra Evolve can support call transfer from a Skype for Business desktop-based softphone call to a smartphone. To transfer a call using the Evolve 40 and 80, simply un-plug the 3.5mm stereo jack stick from its control unit and the call will transfer to the user's mobile phone. Users can then insert the 3.5mm jack into the smartphone to continue the conversation or even continue the conversation using a Jabra Bluetooth(TM) headset.
The global success of the Jabra Evolve series stems from providing a crystal clear sound for every call made and received, with busy light and noise cancelling functions to support a personal concentration zone within today's busy and crowded office spaces.

eXom ready for take-off - senseFly's intelligent mapping and inspection drone now available to pre-order
senseFly confirms release timings & technical specifications of its sensor-rich, multi-imaging rotary drone at Unmanned Systems 2015 (Hall B2, Booth 519)
ATLANTA, May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Unmanned Systems 2015 -- Swiss professional drone maker, senseFly, today launches the eXom, its highly-anticipated quadcopter UAS for mapping and inspection. The eXom is available to pre-order immediately and ships this summer.
The eXom is a uniquely sensor-rich system. Developed by experts working across numerous fields of robotics, this lightweight quadcopter offers professionals such as civil engineers and land surveyors the situational awareness, imaging flexibility and durability they need to complete challenging tasks safely, accurately and efficiently.
"We believe the eXom's level of application-focused technology is unique in the civilian drone market," said Antoine Beyeler, CTO and co-founder of senseFly. "This platform tightly integrates several one-of-a-kind features, such as TripleView imaging, advanced situational awareness and full flight mode flexibility--to provide inspection and mapping professionals with the functionality they desire from a rotary system."
eXom is a future-ready platform with a quad-core computer onboard. Like senseFly's fixed-wing drones, it offers users ever-evolving performance through regular software updates, adding the latest drone tech innovations to keep the eXom at the cutting edge for years to come.
What's more, eXom's low take-off weight of 1.7 kg (3.7 lb) ensures its users will, in many countries, have less flight authorisation paperwork to deal with than those who use heavier systems.
Uniquely sensor-rich
The eXom contains a rich array of advanced integrated sensors. These work together to provide the user with full situational awareness and support obstacle avoidance:
-- Five 'navcam' vision sensors allow the operator to see in the direction
the drone is moving, automatically via its flight control software,
without needing to turn the system's TripleView camera head. This
technology is unique in such a lightweight UAS, similar to the visual
parking sensors in modern cars, but brought into a 3D flight
environment.
-- Five ultrasonic proximity sensors work in harmony with eXom's navcams to
ensure the operator always knows the drone's distance from nearby
objects. (The drone's shock-absorbent carbon fibre shrouding is also
always on hand to protect its rotors in case of surface contact.)
-- Numerous other sensors, including inertial measurement units,
barometers, magnetometers, GPS and magnetic encoders, maximise the
drone's stability and safety.
TripleView imaging
In another civilian drone first, eXom's autopilot-controlled TripleView camera head enables the user to view and record three different types of imagery during a single flight without needing to land to change cameras:
-- HD video
-- Ultra high-resolution stills
-- Thermal still/video
Since the TripleView head faces forwards, eXom can fly up close to target structures such as building walls and dams to achieve sub-millimetre data resolutions. Plus, thanks to the head's 270° vertical field of view, users can document objects positioned directly above and below the drone; crucial for tasks such as bridge and roof inspections.
Full flight flexibility
eXom offers a flight mode to suit every project:
-- Autonomous mode -- perfect for mapping projects. First, create a flight
plan using eMotion X's mission blocks. eXom then launches, flies,
acquires geo-referenced imagery and lands itself.
-- Interactive ScreenFly mode -- this streaming video mode is perfect for
live inspection tasks. Simply use the supplied joypad to navigate and
orientate the drone via computer screen. This mode includes flight
assistance features such as cruise control and distance lock.
-- Or stay flexible... create a flight plan, launch in Autonomous mode,
then 'go live' on demand.
-- No matter which mode is activated, RC-based manual control always
remains available as a backup function and for experienced pilots.
Visit senseFly at Unmanned Systems 2015: Hall B2, Booth 519
senseFly's CTO presents: What will define the next generation of inspection of multi-rotors? Catch Antoine Beyeler's Beyond The Booth presentation on Tuesday, May 5 at 10:30am.
Catch eXom in flight: at the senseFly booth & at the show's Air & Ground Demo Area (demo timings: May 5, 11:45 & 14:15, May 6, 12:15 & 14:15, May 7, 11:45 & 14:15)

All Epson projectors feature the latest 3LCD, 3-chip technology to deliver amazing, true-to-life color and detail for powerful presentations; Epson projectors offer three times brighter colors(6) than leading competitive projectors. This technology also provides an energy-efficient light engine which uses available lamp light to create stunning images, and in contrast to 1-chip DLP technology, 3LCD requires, on average, 25 percent less electricity per lumen of brightness(7).
Color Brightness Specification and Projector Performance
The new 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, presenters 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.
Availability and Support
The Epson PowerLite 4770W is currently available through distribution, VARs and resellers, and direct on Epson.com. The projector comes with a two-year limited warranty that includes Road Service projector replacement program with projector exchange in one business day with paid shipping, and a 90-day limited lamp warranty.

Voxelnauts Are Coming May 17!: Retro Ronin Is Using A Virtual World To Make The Real World Better
PITTSBURGH, May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Retro Ronin, formerly known as MEK Entertainment, officially announced its first video game project today, Voxelnauts, a virtual-reality sandbox MMO inspired by the novel Ready Player One. They will see their Kickstarter launch accompanied by an Oculus Rift tech demo at a party being held in an undisclosed Los Angeles location on May 17.
Voxelnauts is a game that will allow players to craft items, mine, explore, survive, colonize and create kingdoms. Players will be able to team up on epic adventures, search for rare loot, and fight against a mysterious enemy known as The Void.
Players will not only be able to participate in Voxelnauts, but they will be able to create their own planets, lore and games will operate in the Voxhalla universe all while maintaining and protecting their own intellectual property rights.
Virtual items and important resources will be managed using blockchain technology to eliminate the risk of duping. Additional benefits include the ability to provide a secure and open marketplace for the transacting of virtual items, as well as transparency for an open game economy.
Voxhalla and Voxelnauts will be owned and operated by Retro Ronin. Mark Kern has departed the company to pursue his own agenda.
Jon Olick, the chief architect and programmer of the Voxhalla platform and the Voxelnauts game, has been named Retro Ronin's first CEO.
"We took the road less traveled by," Olick said, adding: "And that has made all the difference."
Jason Archinaco has been named as the company's first President while Daniel Mross, co-creator of The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin film, will sit along with Olick and Archinaco on the company's board. John Su will head the company's art division while Anthony Pesch will head its server architect division.
Su's Voxelnaut art style pays homage to retro gaming classics such as Mega Man Legends and Final Fantasy, without seeking to emulate either. "There's a wealth of technique that the industry abandoned to the past; we're going to breathe some new life into it!"
Retro Ronin expects to have early versions of planet builder kits in developers' hands before the 2015 Holiday season, with full retail launch of Voxhalla and Voxelnauts before the 2016 Holiday season. The game will operate on Windows, Linux and Mac OS systems, with future support for tablets and phones.
Barring any unforeseen delays, the Kickstarter should be live on May 17, offering exclusive virtual items that will not be offered again and will also make a special announcement at the Kickstarter event party.
"We plan on using a virtual world to make the real world better," Archinaco said. "And at the Kickstarter event party we will unveil a business model that we think can help make that happen. These are very exciting times!"

Exegy Announces Support for Additional Foreign Exchange Venues
ST. LOUIS, May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Exegy, Inc., a provider of high-performance market data normalization and distribution solutions, has today announced the availability of six new feed handlers for foreign exchange venues. The new additions expand Exegy's broad portfolio of over 200 market data feed handlers, including feed handlers for leading bank portals and ECN platforms for currency trading. Today, Exegy announced support for an additional six bank portals: Bank of America, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Nomura, and Royal Bank of Scotland.
The additions to Exegy's portfolio of market data feed handlers were driven by expanded usage of its hardware-accelerated appliances for currency trading. Exegy continuously develops new feed handlers based on customer demand as part of its Managed Service. "The expansion of our FX portfolio allows our customers to have a broader view of the available liquidity in the marketplace without provisioning additional equipment. In addition to improving execution performance and trading profits, this expansion allows our customers to derive additional value from their installed base of Exegy appliances," says vice president of sales Steve Hughes. The new feed handlers have already been deployed to Exegy Ticker Plant appliances supporting asset management and hedge fund customers. "As the currency markets continue their electronic evolution, the same incentives and challenges that developed in the equity and options markets are driving market participants to seek out faster, more capable, and more efficient market data platforms," adds Hughes.
In addition to expanding the number of accessible currency trading venues, Exegy has expanded the feature set of its appliances and API to improve operational resiliency and liquidity visibility. "In addition to expanding the number of trading venues, we have enhanced our offering to support multiple liquidity pools within each venue," says chief technology officer David Taylor. "This allows our customers participating in the currency markets to define pools with different permutations of counter-parties and trading parameters and to blend these pools into an aggregated view of liquidity using our user-defined composite capabilities," adds Taylor. Accordingly, the number of pools and venues that may be included in Exegy's user-defined composite pricing views has been expanded. In addition, Exegy appliances have been enhanced to automatically respond to operational incidents that may impact data quality. Automated actions include the clearing and refreshing of prices when underlying network connectivity is disrupted. "Our customers rely on the normalized and enhanced views of market data that we provide. The ability of our products and services to add layers of resiliency, automatically respond to incidents, and provide unparalleled visibility into the operational state of the market data infrastructure give them confidence to do so," says Taylor.

Exegy Announces Support for Additional Foreign Exchange Venues
ST. LOUIS, May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Exegy, Inc., a provider of high-performance market data normalization and distribution solutions, has today announced the availability of six new feed handlers for foreign exchange venues. The new additions expand Exegy's broad portfolio of over 200 market data feed handlers, including feed handlers for leading bank portals and ECN platforms for currency trading. Today, Exegy announced support for an additional six bank portals: Bank of America, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Nomura, and Royal Bank of Scotland.
The additions to Exegy's portfolio of market data feed handlers were driven by expanded usage of its hardware-accelerated appliances for currency trading. Exegy continuously develops new feed handlers based on customer demand as part of its Managed Service. "The expansion of our FX portfolio allows our customers to have a broader view of the available liquidity in the marketplace without provisioning additional equipment. In addition to improving execution performance and trading profits, this expansion allows our customers to derive additional value from their installed base of Exegy appliances," says vice president of sales Steve Hughes. The new feed handlers have already been deployed to Exegy Ticker Plant appliances supporting asset management and hedge fund customers. "As the currency markets continue their electronic evolution, the same incentives and challenges that developed in the equity and options markets are driving market participants to seek out faster, more capable, and more efficient market data platforms," adds Hughes.
In addition to expanding the number of accessible currency trading venues, Exegy has expanded the feature set of its appliances and API to improve operational resiliency and liquidity visibility. "In addition to expanding the number of trading venues, we have enhanced our offering to support multiple liquidity pools within each venue," says chief technology officer David Taylor. "This allows our customers participating in the currency markets to define pools with different permutations of counter-parties and trading parameters and to blend these pools into an aggregated view of liquidity using our user-defined composite capabilities," adds Taylor. Accordingly, the number of pools and venues that may be included in Exegy's user-defined composite pricing views has been expanded. In addition, Exegy appliances have been enhanced to automatically respond to operational incidents that may impact data quality. Automated actions include the clearing and refreshing of prices when underlying network connectivity is disrupted. "Our customers rely on the normalized and enhanced views of market data that we provide. The ability of our products and services to add layers of resiliency, automatically respond to incidents, and provide unparalleled visibility into the operational state of the market data infrastructure give them confidence to do so," says Taylor.

Big Ass Fans Launches its Low Profile Haiku 52 Ceiling Fan in Hong Kong
HONG KONG, May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Big Ass Fans (http://bit.ly/1zrjJ0t), the leading fan company in the United States, today introduced the Haiku 52 (52 inches or 1.3 meters in diameter) low profile ceiling fan to Hong Kong. The Haiku 52 is a great fit for smaller residential spaces in the local market.
With its leading technologies, energy savings and minimalist design, Haiku 52 has received over 40 international awards:
-- Equipped with a unique, ultra-efficient direct current (DC) motor using
our proprietary Sensorless Drive Technology(TM), which guarantees quiet
operation, the fan is rewarded as the Quietest Ceiling Fan in the World.
It delivers nearly twice the efficiency of conventional ceiling fan
motors. Haiku features seven speeds and a distinctive Whoosh mode,
mimicking the gentle variations of a natural breeze to make you feel 40%
cooler than steady airflow.
-- Rated by Energy Star® as the world's most efficient ceiling fan, Haiku
52 is merely 2-30 watts and consumes 0.002-0.03kWh per hour, saving up
to 80% electricity compared to conventional ceiling fans.
-- Haiku 52 provides a modern, luxurious style with further improved
comfort. The patent-pending Thin Sheet(TM) airfoils feature a unique
aerodynamic profile, resulting in maximized air coverage and improved
ventilation.
Haiku 52 is handcrafted with two premium materials - sustainable Moso bamboo and a durable glass-infused matrix composite. The model comes in four colors. The most popular types in Hong Kong are the white matrix composite and caramel bamboo:
-- Bamboo: Caramel bamboo and cocoa bamboo
-- Matrix composite: white matrix composite and black matrix composite
-- Diameter: 52 inches (1.3 meters)
-- Height: 11.8 inches (0.3 meters)
-- Suggested ceiling height: 8-10 feet (c.2.4-3 meters)
-- Suggested space: over 140 square feet (c.13 square meters)
Air conditioning for commercial and residential buildings consumes over 60% of all electricity in the summer in Hong Kong. By applying fans in conditioned spaces, electricity bills can be reduced by 20% and circulation of cooling air in the space can be largely improved. Furthermore, World Wide Fund suggested that for every 1 degree Celsius raised in air conditioner thermostats, cooling bills can be lowered by approximately 6%. By increasing airflow, ceiling fans can improve sweat evaporation resulting in reduction of body temperature. Oftentimes with an operating Haiku fan, while the temperature setting of air conditioning is at 29 degrees Celsius, perceived temperature could drop to 24 degrees Celsius.

Headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, Big Ass Fans (http://bit.ly/1dHU1ba) designs, engineers, manufactures and sells high performance, high tech and energy saving fans ranging from 18 inches to 24 feet (0.45m to 7.3m) in diameter since its founding in 1999.
