Chicago-Area Startup Poised To Bring Massage Into The Digital Age
CHICAGO, April 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Excel Mobile Massage (EMM) is a new company that caters to the busy lifestyles of Chicagoans desiring a massage on their terms.
"We see a real opportunity in Chicago to create a better massage experience for customers. People expect technology to make their lives simpler. Clients want the convenience to book online or on an APP. They shouldn't have to fight traffic to relax, so we come to them," says Karen Ehlers, EMM Co-President.
Massage demographics have drastically changed in the last decade. Clients are no longer just women booking spa days. More men get massages, and people are incorporating massage into their health and wellness plans. According to the American Massage Therapy Association, last year 54% of adult Americans received a massage for medical or health reasons. 92 percent believe massage is effective in reducing pain.
"Our clients use massage to address a variety of issues: chronic illness, sports injuries, or just to decompress. That's why our therapists are trained to deliver any kind of massage," says Scott Sosne, EMM's Co-President, 25 year Licensed Massage Therapist.
"We've eliminated the tedious stressful parts of booking a massage by using digital tools to focus on client convenience," says Ehlers. She and Sosne highlight EMM's service enhancements:
Embrace Technology: Clients don't want to fill out a form, and then wait for a call. EMM sends an email confirmation with receipt immediately after booking, and an opt-in for appointment reminders.
Time Is Money: EMM's website, Android and iPhone APPs give clients access to instant booking of appointments, with their choice of therapist.
Tip Included: After a massage, clients want to stay relaxed, rather than deal with an awkward tip. EMM includes a 15% gratuity in all of its pricing.

For more information, go to: mentor.com/embedded/wearables
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the Nucleus real time operating system (RTOS) targeting high-performance, next-generation applications for wearable embedded devices designed for medical, fitness, security, safety and other sectors. The introduction of new multicore system-on-chip (SoC) architectures targeting wearable devices with Internet of Things (IoT) features requires an operating system that has a framework tailored to meet new system requirements. The Nucleus RTOS framework for smart wearable devices connects to other smart devices, gateways, or directly to the cloud. Optimized for size, performance, and power efficiency in unicore or multicore SoCs, the Nucleus RTOS is the first embedded operating system to provide a power management and processor lifecycle framework to maximize wearable device battery life.
The Nucleus RTOS provides memory space partitioning in both high-performance microprocessor units (MPU) and resource-constrained microcontroller units (MCU) to support software updates and upgrades in deployed systems. The Nucleus RTOS includes a rich IPv4/v6 networking stack, M2M protocols, and security for IoT applications and cloud connectivity.
Multicore Framework for Inter-process Communication and Processor Life Cycle
Today's wearable SoCs increasingly combine application-class and microcontroller-class cores onto a single device to consolidate heterogeneous operating environments within a single application. The Nucleus RTOS includes the embedded industry's first complete heterogeneous multicore framework - a clean-room implementation of functionality of "virtIO", "remoteproc", and "rpmsg." This framework enables developers to seamlessly integrate the Nucleus RTOS, Linux®, and bare metal-based applications onto a single SoC including inter-process communication (IPC), resource sharing, and processor life cycle control for wearable devices. Developers can control the boot-up and shut-down of individual cores on an SoC, allowing wearable and IoT applications to maximize compute performance or minimize power consumption based on the use-case.
The Nucleus RTOS also incorporates a wide range of standards-compliant networking and communication protocols designed for wearable devices with support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, and 6LoWPAN over 802.15.4 on an array of supported chipsets.
Nucleus Power Management Framework Extends Battery Life
Battery life is critical for connected devices and the new generation of wearable products places new demands on power consumption reduction due to shrinking hardware resources and increasing software complexity. Built from the ground up, the Nucleus power management framework manages the power state for each peripheral, set of peripherals, or the entire wearable system by using simple high-level application programming interface (API) calls. When changing power states, the power management framework allows coordinated control of processor modes, operating frequencies, and peripheral device operation.
Space Partitioning for Device Provisioning
The Nucleus process model is a lightweight approach that provides space partitioning to create protected memory regions that isolate and protect application, middleware and kernel subsystems. Space partitioning enhances reliability and provides the framework to load new applications using cloud services, or to partition large algorithms into smaller components using a just-in-time (JIT) methodology. For devices with limited memory resources, the Nucleus process model efficiently uses memory by loading and unloading software to limit the resident executing code to only the modules necessary at any given moment in time.
Qt Framework for Graphical User Interface Development
The Qt® framework for the Nucleus RTOS improves the user interface (UI) development workflow based on the tight integration of Mentor Embedded tools to provide an environment to create differentiating graphics optimized for the memory footprint requirements for wearable devices. Mentor Embedded tools include integrated software performance for Qt analysis to maximize performance and minimize graphics start-up.
Commentary
"We selected Mentor's Nucleus RTOS for our wearable SoCs based on its process model for dynamic loading and superior power management capabilities," stated Balaji Kanigicherla, founder, CTO and vice president of engineering, Ineda Systems. "The Nucleus RTOS meets all of our system requirements for feature-rich applications so our customers can develop advanced wearable devices with greater productivity, power-efficiency, and fast performance."
"The Nucleus RTOS provides feature-rich capabilities targeted for wearable devices which allow embedded developers to focus on generating product differentiating features," stated Scot Morrison, general manager of runtime solutions, Mentor Graphics Embedded Systems Division. "The built-in wireless connectivity, M2M / IoT middleware, multicore support, and power management framework makes the Nucleus RTOS is an ideal operating system platform for wearable devices."

Trimble Partners with Microsoft to Bring Microsoft HoloLens Wearable Holographic Technology to the AEC Industry
Trimble to Integrate Microsoft HoloLens with Selected Trimble Solutions for Mixed-Reality Design, Construction and Operation Processes
SAN FRANCISCO, April 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) announced today that it is working with Microsoft to develop a new generation of tools, integrated with the HoloLens holographic platform on Windows 10, which are intended to improve quality, collaboration and efficiency in the design, construction and operation of buildings and structures. A proof of concept was demonstrated at Microsoft's Build Developer Conference held this week in San Francisco.
Microsoft HoloLens is a head-mounted, holographic computer that provides a mixed-reality experience for a range of commercial and consumer applications. When used by architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) professionals, the HoloLens device extends interaction with 3D models beyond the confines of a 2D computer screen, creating new ways for the many stakeholders of complex, multi-phase construction projects to visualize, collaborate, share ideas and manage change.
Demonstration Highlights Design and Collaboration Scenarios
During the Build Conference keynote session, Microsoft demonstrated how the integration of HoloLens with Trimble's SketchUp 3D modeling software and the Trimble Connect collaboration platform could improve design and construction processes. Using HoloLens, architects were able to experience their SketchUp models as holograms placed in the real world--enabling them to quickly analyze various "what if" design scenarios in the context of the physical environment. The demonstration also illustrated how using Trimble Connect with HoloLens holographic technology enables remote teams to effectively review and collaborate in order to resolve constructability issues in real time.
"Trimble has a mission to deliver solutions that transform the user experience and work processes in many industries," said Bryn Fosburgh, vice president responsible for Trimble's Construction Technology Divisions. "We believe that HoloLens is a game-changer for design and construction teams by facilitating improved communication, and enhanced transparency. We're excited to partner with Microsoft in creating what could be a new era for technology in the AEC market."
"Microsoft HoloLens is a revolutionary tool for people and businesses enabling professionals in industries like design and construction to do more and achieve more," said Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president, devices & studios, at Microsoft. "Trimble's deep knowledge of design and construction processes makes it a natural partner in bringing holographic computing to this industry."
Initial Development Focus
Trimble's initial research is focused on the integration of HoloLens with three Trimble solutions:
-- Trimble® Connect - a collaboration environment for design, engineering
and construction projects, based on Gehry Technologies' GTeam(TM)
software acquired by Trimble in in 2014, Trimble Connect enables teams
to access and manage project data via a cloud platform.
-- SketchUp - the world's most popular 3D modeling platform, used by
millions around the world to create, update and communicate designs in
3D.
-- Trimble V10 Imaging Rover - an integrated camera system that precisely
captures 360-degree digital panoramas for efficient visual documentation
and measurement of the surrounding environment that can be transformed
into data-rich geospatial deliverables.
Trimble's HoloLens-enabled solutions are currently under development. Details on availability were not disclosed at the Build Conference. Information on Trimble's broad range of existing solutions for the design, construction and operation of building and infrastructure is available at: http://www.trimble.com/Industries/Construction/index.aspx.

Scroll and Navigate PDF Pages by Tilting Your Phone
Free RotoView PDF Reader app makes document navigation simple
HOUSTON, April 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- INNOVENTIONS, Inc., an early pioneer in motion-enhanced smartphone display technology, has released the free RotoView PDF Reader app, giving Android users an entirely new way to scroll magnified PDF documents and switch between pages with one hand just by tilting their phone. Using natural tilting motions to scroll and change pages eliminates the need for repetitive touch screen gestures which block the user's view and leaves fingerprints and dirt on the screen.
"We've been developing the RotoView technology for many years, continually demonstrating how intuitive and efficient tilt-to-scroll is for navigating magnified photos on smartphone displays," said Dr. David Y. Feinstein, President and CTO of INNOVENTIONS. "Unlike image viewing, PDF viewing is notoriously difficult on mobile phones, always requiring substantial magnification and forcing the user to continuously drag the screen with their finger. We have now refined our proprietary dynamic scrolling algorithms to finally achieve convenient and smooth single-hand scrolling of magnified PDF pages."
Invented more than 14 years ago by Dr. Feinstein, RotoView is the original Smart Scroll technology for tilt and motion gestures. Since then the company has promoted the idea of combining tilt based scrolling with standard touch screen gestures to enhance the user interface of mobile devices.
The RotoView PDF Reader app is a complete tool for viewing PDF files and includes all of the features expected in a reader app, plus RotoView's unique navigation tools. It is available now from Google Play for all Android devices. (A one-time $0.99 in-app purchase allows you to save your annotations.) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.innoventions.rotoviewpdf
The similar RotoView Photo Magnifier app is available for both Android and iOS.
The patented RotoView technology and its extensive API protocols for both Android and iOS are available for licensing.

~ Introducing the TomTom Bandit Action Camera - just shake to edit
BURLINGTON, Mass., April 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TomTom (TOM2) today launches the all new TomTom Bandit Action Camera which makes editing and sharing videos quick and easy. Instead of spending hours downloading and sorting through footage, users can now create an exciting 'edit and share it' video within moments of the action.
The TomTom Bandit is the first ever camera to come with a built-in media server, eliminating the need to download footage before editing it. The camera works with a companion app, making it possible to create and share videos in a matter of minutes, simply by shaking a smartphone.
"We know that the biggest frustration people have with action cameras today is the time and effort it takes to edit," says Jocelyn Vigreux, President of TomTom, Inc. "With TomTom Bandit we've cut the editing time down from hours to minutes - all it takes is a shake!"
"We took a simple, but radical approach to solving the editing problem," says Slobodan Stanisic, lead engineer, TomTom. "With all existing action cameras you first need to download gigabytes of footage to a powerful PC, a process that can take a long time. Then you need to find the highlights, put together a story and format it. We know this often takes hours. Not with the TomTom Bandit. We have designed a camera where the footage is processed on the camera itself, making the editing process far easier and much faster."
The TomTom Bandit Action Camera is equipped with in-camera motion and GPS sensors to automatically find and tag exciting moments based on speed, altitude, G-force, acceleration and heart rate*. Highlights can also be tagged manually with a tagging button on the camera or the remote control*.
The TomTom Bandit works with a smartphone app, which includes a superfast viewfinder. Footage can be reviewed instantly with the smartphone app thanks to the built-in media server. In editing mode, a simple shake of the smartphone instantly creates an exciting movie. Users can then easily make changes, add music and add overlays of favorite metrics, such as speed, before sharing with friends.
The TomTom Bandit Action Camera produces great quality video. It has a wide angle lens, high-end 16 MP CCD sensor and a powerful processor. It is also completely waterproof, eliminating the need for an additional bulky case. ** The steel ring mounting system has a quick release mechanism and the low profile of the TomTom Bandit looks great on a helmet.
The uniquely designed Batt-Stick combines the long lasting battery, microSD card and SuperSpeed USB 3.0. It plugs directly into a computer via USB to charge and download footage, removing the need for additional cables or adaptors.
The TomTom Bandit Action Camera will be available on http://www.tomtom.com in June for $399.
A premium pack will also be available later this summer including additional accessories for even more ways to enjoy the TomTom Bandit Action Camera. There will be a wide range of accessories available to purchase.
*an additional accessory is required
**an additional lens cap accessory is required to be waterproof up to 50 meters

Onlineprinters Introduces New Late-Night Upload Allowing More Time for Creative Minds
NEUSTADT AN DER AISCH, Germany, April 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Unmatched 10 pm submission deadline for even faster print deliveries
The online print shop Onlineprinters responds to the needs of its creative clients by
extending the submission deadline for print files for all 1,400 standard printed products
from 12 noon to 10 pm. "We accommodate our busy creative customers. Standard print orders
submitted in our online shops before 10 pm on workdays are now produced on the same day,"
Dr. Michael Fries, COO of Onlineprinters GmbH, announces the reduction in overall delivery
time.
Many creative minds such as graphic designers, agencies, resellers, companies and
small firms are all too familiar with the following situation: Flyers, brochures, posters
and other office supplies need to be ready in time for a trade fair or campaign launch.
The layout is being fine-tuned until the last second. Efficiency matters as the deadline
draws closer. Ultimately, it is all about the speed of printing the advertising material.
New 10 pm submission deadline for print files accelerates delivery of advertising
material
This is what makes Onlineprinters attractive for customers: "95 percent of all
printings are now produced on the day they are ordered," Michael Fries proudly declares.
"This is unparalleled in our line of business! It gives our clients from the creative
industry more time to design brochures, flyers and other printed material," the COO says
further. Thanks to the web shop's automated processes and 24-hour production, print orders
can be produced until late into the night. This requires order, payment and print files to
be submitted in the online shop before the new 10 pm deadline.
"We have introduced the new deadline in all our 14 European web shops. Ordering often
takes less than a minute: All online payment methods are without delay and thanks to our
improved tool uploading the print files, is just as easy as posting photos on Facebook,"
Michael Fries explains.
For ultra-urgent customers: produced today, delivered tomorrow
Faster and ever more efficient: "We provide the option to reduce delivery time for
around 80 percent of our printed products," Michael Fries continues. Clients can opt for
"same-day printing" and "express delivery" to boost delivery time maximally: "We guarantee
that print orders placed with the same-day printing option are produced on the very same
day. With express delivery the products reach customers on the next workday. And that
applies to all EU countries," Michael Fries points out. High-performance printing and
expeditious delivery make Onlineprinters one of the top providers of online printing
services in Europe. "Our efficient online printing processes make life easier for our
business clients," the COO emphasises the benefits for advertisers from all over Europe
who can order their favoured products online from a portfolio of more than 1,400 different
print products conveniently, quickly and easily.

New MIRA Partnership Sparks Development of Batteries and Powertrains for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
BIRMINGHAM, England, April 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
MIRA to Partner with Samsung Techwin in Korea
A new collaboration agreement between MIRA - a world-leader in advanced vehicle
engineering, research and product testing - and Samsung Techwin - a world leader in supply
of security and energy solutions - is set to bring forward the development of bespoke
battery and powertrain systems for automotive and off-highway hybrid and electric vehicle
applications.
MIRA and Samsung Techwin will jointly develop cost effective, optimised battery and
powertrain systems for commercial vehicle, defence vehicle or niche passenger car
manufacturers, deploying state of the art cell technologies and tailoring the solution to
the individual OEM.
The partnership will bring together MIRA's capabilities and experience in design,
development and testing bespoke battery and powertrain systems, alongside Samsung
Techwin's access to state of the art cells and manufacturing facilities that provide
quality at a competitive price.
Dr Geoff Davis, MIRA's Chief Commercial and Technical Officer, said: "This partnership
has been formed in response to the increasing demand for hybrid and electric powertrains.
Although this is led by the passenger car sector, OEMs are increasingly recognising the
significant cost savings that can be made through the technology - both in terms of fuel
consumption and emissions.
"In order to achieve these savings, it is vital that battery and powertrain systems
are matched and optimised to their applications and MIRA and Samsung Techwin are best
placed to deliver this. Bringing together global skills and expertise, these exciting new
developments will enable us to work in partnership with OEMs to understand their precise
applications and develop a solution that delivers the strongest savings and greatest
efficiency."
Mr Hong Ha, Senior Vice President of Samsung Techwin, said: "Samsung Techwin can
access high quality battery and powertrain systems components and manufacturing expertise,
and MIRA has excellent capabilities and expertise in the automotive field, especially in
design, testing and validation. Based on this, I believe our partnership will have a huge
potential to open up many business opportunities in the future for mutual benefit and
growth."
The partnership builds on the success of three years of collaboration in battery pack
and electric power train development between the two businesses.
