IDT's New IEEE 1588 Hardware and Software Solution Eases Compliance with Latest Network Synchronization Standards

Clock Hardware and IEEE 1588 Protocol Stack SoftwareMake Packet-Based Synchronization Easier and Faster to Deploy

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Device Technology, Inc.® (IDT®) (NASDAQ: IDTI) today introduced a new hardware and software solution that simplifies IEEE 1588 synchronization of network communications equipment. The 82P339xx-1 products are composed of IEEE 1588-compliant software and IDT Synchronization Management Unit (SMU) chips that deliver a complete telecom network synchronization solution for IEEE 1588 and synchronous Ethernet.

Network synchronization based on IEEE 1588 Telecom Boundary Clocks (T-BC) is a practical and cost-effective alternative to deploying Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antennas at every node in the network.  IEEE 1588 Telecom Boundary Clocks compliant with ITU-T G.8273.2 enable the recovery of accurate frequency and phase/time information over a packet-based network.

The IDT T-BC hardware is deterministic, simpler and more automated than alternative silicon solutions as it requires less external processor intervention. The hardware/software solution includes an IEEE 1588 protocol stack, clock recovery servos for frequency and phase/time, and clock synthesis hardware with physical layer frequency support. 

"Packet-based synchronization has historically been challenging for system designers to implement because it requires a broad range of specialized technology and needs to meet stringent network standards," said Louise Gaulin, vice president and general manager of IDT's Network Communications Division. "The 82P339xx-1 products were specifically engineered to be easy to use, flexible and to comply with the latest generation of packet-based synchronization standards."

The 82P339xx-1 SMUs automatically filter IEEE 1588 phase/time information and combine it with physical layer frequency information in accordance with ITU-T G.8273.2 to generate accurate, stable and low-jitter clocks. The phase/time and frequency filters are implemented in hardware to ensure deterministic filter bandwidths, eliminating the need for additional software processing.

The 82P339xx-1 product family is designed for a wide range of applications including base stations, access equipment, routers, switches, optical equipment and servers. Standards compliance has been validated and test reports are available with the results.

Lextar to Release Frameless LED Flat Panel Light "ALLUXIA"

Opening A New Era for LED Panel Light 5.0

HSINCHU, Taiwan, Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Lextar Electronics Corp ("Lextar" or the "Company") (TAIEX: 3698), the LED vertical integration manufacturer, will release its new generation LED flat panel lights -- ALLUXIA. ALLUXIA's frameless visual effect can create flexibility for seamless connection of luminaires. With its simple and neat appearance, it opened a new era of LED flat panel light 5.0.  Lextar will unveil ALLUXIA at the Hong Kong International Lighting Fair taking place from October 27-30, 2015.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151026/HK37836LOGO

Since Lextar released its first LED flat panel light in 2010, it has continually been improved and evolved, and has now reached its fifth generation. Lextar's newly released ALLUXIA flat panel light adopted its mature backlight technology to further improve the planar optical performance, and created a frameless, full-surface luminous visual design. The surface mount installation can create continuous illuminating visual effects, increasing the flexibility and fun of indoor designs. Its frameless outline and thin, low-key appearance allows it to elegantly blend in with the environment, satisfying the diverse needs for various interior designs. As for its product specifications, the ALLUXIA flat panel light uses the microstructure optical technology of a special light guide plate to create balanced and soft surface light, and is able to reduce glare. The innovative aluminum frame structure allows the luminaire to have both the advantages of being light-weighted and also being strong to avoid bending when suspended. In addition, the thin design not only allows it to suspend or surface mount onto the ceiling, creating the effect of making the ceiling look higher and releasing space height. It can also reduce packaging materials and lower transportation volume significantly, therefore meeting environmental protection demand.

The Associate Vice President of Lextar's Lighting Business Unit, Mr. Francis Wong, said: "Lextar's years of leading development and market operations for LED flat panel lights have won great reviews in the European and American markets. Since the release of Lextar's first flat panel light in 2010, it has been through the second generation plastic frame panel light, third generation ultra-thin LEAFIA panel light and the fourth generation Driver Inside all-in-one integrated panel light. The evolution of the technology and demand in the panel light market could be seen from Lextar's product development track, and this has also become the key why major brands continue to cooperate with Lextar to develop panel lights products."

This time, Lextar continued to use its optical, mechanical, electrical and thermal integration technologies and innovative designs by the industrial design team to release the ALLUXIA frameless flat panel light, which will be making its debut on October 27 at Asia's most important lighting show -- the Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition). Lextar will be displaying its LED product lineup including flat panel lights and liner lights, ultra-high color rendering (CRI 97) tubes and smart tubes for parking lot, and LED module series at the Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition). This is the seventh showcase Lextar demonstrates the LED lighting products at this fair.

DIRECT CONTROL AT YOUR FINGER TIP

Steering wheel control[3] module lets drivers safely operate the receiver, including answering phone calls, without taking their hands off the steering wheel. What's more, holding the onboard mute button can further activate a nifty voice recognition function.

MARKET-LEADING SMARTPHONE INTEGRATION

The following are more innovative features of Pioneer receivers to take full advantage of the latest smartphones:

    --  AppRadio Mode and AppRadioLIVE[4] - Pioneer's free application to view
        and control third-party utilities, navigational aids and social networks
        installed on iOS and Android smartphones, utilising the receiver's
        touchscreen. AppRadio Mode is also compatible with AppRadioLIVE, which
        aggregates maps, music, news and events into four interactive quadrants
        on screen. Moreover, car owners can conveniently connect their
        smartphones to the receivers using a regular USB cable, eliminating
        costly and complicated setups previously required. Additional cabling
        options are also available.[5]

    --  MIXTRAX - Pioneer's revolutionary MIXTRAX®[6] virtual DJ technology
        transforms a music library into a nonstop DJ mix, inserting transitions
        and effects automatically to string together tunes from an iPhone, iPod
        or USB storage device. To truly recreate a club experience, users can
        also set the illumination and display to pulsate and change colour,
        according to the tempo and intensity of the music.
    --  Comprehensive Bluetooth functions - All Bluetooth-enabled Pioneer
        receivers feature Two-Phone Bluetooth Pairing capability, allowing up to
        two phones to be connected simultaneously for hands-free voice calls.
        With Wireless Audio Browsing[7], drivers can also search their music
        library via the head unit display without touching their iOS and Android

Duodian Network Releases Free Android Emulator Nox App Player

BEIJING, Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Android Emulator is a software that allows PC users to use Android apps and play Android games on a desktop with the benefit of a bigger screen, better hardware performance and easier control. A new Android Emulator named Nox App Player has been released recently.

Nox App Player is built on a custom virtual machine. It is developed on Android 4.4.2 kernel and is compatible with both X86 and AMD processors. It runs stably and smoothly on Windows systems from the classic Win XP SP3 up to the latest Windows 10. With Google Play store integrated, it is much easier for users to download and install apps on PC. Keyboard typing, camera and microphone integration are the basic functions. What makes using Nox App Player special is that you can connect gamepad and controllers in a game. In ARPG (Action Role Play Game), you can even use the traditional WASD key to control your character and set other keys to release skills or take shots.

Another innovative feature is the multiplayer mode which allows users to run several Nox App Player windows at the same time. Each window can run a different app/game. Users can switch between windows with ease on the same computer screen. There is a desktop shortcut for this function and within a few clicks a second Player is boosted. Depending on the configuration and performance of the host computer, one can have several instances running in parallel.

The software supports four system language settings including Chinese, English, Korean and Japanese. It will automatically connect to your keyboard and you can type Japanese with PC keyboard directly in Nox. It also allows users to customize the CPU and RAM allocated to the software. The window is re-sizable by dragging and adjusting your mouse, while customizing resolution to your preferred value is also possible in system settings.

Nox App Player's latest update also introduces a new function, which is backup and restoring of data. If you have large and important data in your emulator, you can backup regularly with this feature to keep it safe. Another thing to point out is that Nox is also a great test tool for Android developers. By turning on root mode, developers can deploy and test their app with ease.

TASER Disrupts In-Car Video Market With Axon Fleet, An HD In-Car Video Solution for $499

Brings the Power of the Cloud and Axon Platform to All Police Vehicles

SEATTLE, Oct. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TASER International, Inc. (NASDAQ: TASR), the global leader in cloud-based digital evidence management and body-worn video, today announced its disruptive entry into the in-car video market with Axon Fleet. This breakthrough in-car video system offers advanced functionality at an unheard-of price of $499, which includes two cameras for the front window and rear seat area.

The new offering also boasts a wide-angle lens and HD video, a flexible design that allows for quick and straightforward camera swaps, a rear-facing camera, and a pre-event buffer for up to two minutes. Priced at only $499 per vehicle, Axon Fleet brings a simple user experience and unprecedented connectivity at a cost 90% lower than that of traditional in-car systems.

"We're bringing industry-leading technology to the in-car video market and offering it at an epic price," says Rick Smith, CEO and Founder of TASER. "We are delighted to bring the power of the cloud to the patrol car.  Not only is the price of the hardware dramatically lower than existing solutions, but with our Fleet Unlimited Plan, agencies can deploy the cameras with unlimited HD Evidence.com data management and secure storage for just $39 per month with our leaders' pricing program.

"We've gained a huge amount of space back in the patrol unit, with much better capabilities, all at a massive savings. Axon Fleet will change the way law enforcement looks at in-car technology solutions forever."

"This announcement of Axon Fleet combined with that of Axon Body 2 and the expanded Axon Platform provides an insight into the strategic vision held by TASER," said Hadi Partovi, CEO of Code.org who also sits on TASER's board. "We're witnessing a major shift and exciting transformation of TASER's business that's on par with the likes of Netflix evolving from shipping DVDs to being the world's largest streaming video service or that of Amazon becoming a major cloud computer provider. TASER's metamorphosis to the Axon software platform with multiple hardware extensions provides a unified law enforcement customer experience similar to what consumers see today with the Apple ecosystem. This lays the foundation for tremendous growth and is the beginning of an incredible story."

Dry Cleaning? We've Got an App for That!

LONDON, October 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

     Introducing the revolutionary new Q2 Smart Locker: dry cleaning for people who don't

                              have the time for dry cleaning

    Imagine a dry cleaning service that picks up and delivers your clothes from dozens of
locations. A service you manage online. A service that's safe, secure and available 24
hours a day.

    Well that service recently became available. On 10 October 2015 the Q2 Smart Locker
dry cleaning service officially launched in London, expanding its reach to over 100
locations across the city by May next year - and to other cities soon after. Q2 will
combine the power of the Internet with a new approach to an essential service. The result?
A fast, convenient, quality cleaning service that customers can manage without ever
visiting a shop.

    Q2 (the name stands for Quick and Quality) will install specially designed,
multi-compartment lockers at strategic locations such as stations and supermarkets.
Customers can register for the service by phone or online using an easy-to-understand
ordering process. They then receive a password that they can use to open the locker and
insert their dry cleaning.

    Once the cleaning is secure, the networked locker reports that a collection is
required. The laundry is picked up, and taken to the Q2 dry cleaning centre in East
London. It is inventoried and cleaned by trained Q2 staff. All traditional dry cleaning
services are offered, including specialist services for delicate or unusual items. Once
your laundry is ready it is returned to the locker you delivered it to - all within eight
hours. You can pay online by phone, tablet or PC - or even set up a prepaid account for
long term, regular use.

    Each locker contains ten compartments, and is accessible 24 hours a day. The networked
system ensures that no compartment is occupied for more than 30 minutes. For added
security each locker is constantly monitored by CCTV.

    This is the first time in the UK that a traditional service of this kind has been
combined with the Internet and extended across such a vast area through unmanned
collection points. It offers an ideal solution for busy Londoners who require a reliable
cleaning service but cannot find the time to get to a dry cleaner's.

    Arek Kozikowski founder, Q2 Smart Locker, says, "Q2 Smart Locker promises to
revolutionise dry cleaning, combining a high-quality service with modern communications to
bring dry cleaning closer to customers. We're thrilled at the prospect of launching this
service across London."

Aged Care Market is Expected to be a Key Growth Area for Healthcare Automation

According to Frost & Sullivan European healthcare automation market will yield up to EUR71.57 billion in 2019

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- By 2020 22% of the world's population will be of or above 60 years. In order to encourage independent living, IT service providers need to support the development of smart homes and communities that leverage technology-based solutions for the aged. High adoption of remote monitoring devices, which are useful for personal physicians, nurses and family, will help all senior citizens who prefer to stay in their own homes. Information and communication technology (ICT)-based assistive technologies, including computer-based or other electronic communication aids, object locators and reminder systems, will also gain traction. Further, robots as a support system will emerge as an excellent aged care model.

http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20151022/8521507119

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Connected Industry Insight Series--ICT Opportunities in the Global Aged Care Market (http://www.frost.com/sublib/display-report.do?id=MB80-01-00-00-00&src=PR) expects healthcare to be among the top industries for ICT providers in Europe, yielding an estimated EUR71.57 billion in 2019. IT services will constitute a large proportion of healthcare spending in this sector.

For complimentary access to more information on this research, please visit: http://owl.li/THOqy

The aged population's requirement for specialised medical technology will create strong long-term opportunities for wireless network, IT service and software solution providers. Thus, these service providers are making concerted efforts towards developing and implementing technologies that support independent ageing and aged care.

"Wearable devices are increasingly becoming an integral part of senior citizens' lifestyle," said Frost & Sullivan Information & Communication Technologies Senior Research AnalystShuba Ramkumar. "While it is true that a wearable device or global positioning system (GPS) tracker does not in itself provide better care, it can facilitate remote monitoring of senior citizens and help prevent major accidents. For example, it can prevent a patient with memory loss or dementia from going outside and endangering themselves."

However, seamless connectivity, irrespective of whether it is low/high bandwidth or short/long range, is important for the accurate functioning of the aged care ecosystem. Even the smooth operation and integration of assisted living technologies in the healthcare sector is dependent on the resolution of connectivity, data privacy and regulation issues.

Currently, the need to certify some ICT devices for deployment and restrictions on the use of data collected by devices prove to be major obstacles for the end-user market. Nevertheless, development of stringent data security regulations and partnership with healthcare technology companies can help overcome some of these challenges.

"IT service providers must collaborate with large private and public aged care providers to design and deploy solutions that integrate with the healthcare system," noted Ramkumar. "For residential care communities, they should also provide end-to-end Internet of Things platforms to enable communication between smart devices for monitoring patient activity. These solutions are necessary to integrate home/residential care systems with the central healthcare system to facilitate automated healthcare delivery."

Connected Industry Insight Series--ICT Opportunities in the Global Aged Care Market is part of the Connected Industries (http://ww2.frost.com/research/industry/information-communications-technologies/connected-industries) Growth Partnership Service program. Frost & Sullivan's related studies include: ICT Opportunities across Vertical Markets, ICT Spending in Connected Industries in Europe, Remote Patient Monitoring Market in Europe, and Video Conferencing for Healthcare.

GAME GOLF Introduces First Wearable, Real-Time Shot Tracker For iOS & Android

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- GAME GOLF is the company that changed how golfers use data to improve their games. On November 9, the company will introduce the first wearable, real-time automatic shot tracker for both iOS and Android smartphone platforms.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151022/279752

GAME GOLF LIVE is the next product generation from the original GAME GOLF Classic that came on the market in 2014.  "We literally created the industry that brings the type of data used by professional golfers to the fingertips of your average player," said John McGuire, CEO and Founder of GAME GOLF. "We changed how amateur and professional golfers can shave strokes off of 18 holes by knowing more about their games. GAME GOLF LIVE does everything the CLASSIC product did, with lots of valuable new features inspired by our avid user base."

GAME GOLF CLASSIC was the first wearable device and integrated software platform that tracked and captured on-course performance data and displayed a player's rounds in a dynamic and socially driven online interface. After uploading your data, it is visible on web and mobile devices.

GAME GOLF LIVE uses an updated wearable GPS device that communicates with feather-light sensor tags attached to the top of the grip on each club and an integrated software platform which automatically tracks and captures performance data, in real-time. The data from every shot is instantly displayed on your iOS or Android phone in a dynamic and socially driven interface. 

"With GAME GOLF LIVE, you tag the club and hit the ball," said Jaehee Lee, the company's Head of Product Development. "All data is instantaneously captured and visible on your phone, without manually entering information. On courses where you can't use your phone, the information connects to the device; and you can see it on the 19(th) hole." 

GAME GOLF LIVE incorporates a number of enhanced features including a Strokes Gained Analysis, offering robust metrics off the tee, on approach shots, during the short game and for putting. "Strokes Gained metrics are considered the most accurate way to compare your play against the data of a scratch golfer," added McGuire. "We have added a new twist by providing a detailed TIPS section to interpret Strokes Gained data that will pinpoint improvement opportunities and make recommendations to the golfer on the areas where they should focus their practice time."   When viewed on the web, GAME GOLF LIVE Strokes Gained compares a player's most recent rounds to a scratch player's rounds to see how many strokes are lost driving, in fairway play, chipping or putting.

GAME GOLF LIVE's mapping system has been upgraded to include Google Maps, Apple Maps and BING Maps and includes a powerful course rangefinder. Editing data for accuracy and adding penalties are easy. All playing history and statistics are automatically backed up online. Players are able to share their rounds via email, Facebook and Twitter. The PGA of America and Golf Channel are partners in the brand.

McGuire added, "When we introduced GAME GOLF CLASSIC, we wanted to give golfers, of all abilities, easy access to the data about their games that was previously only available and used by professionals. Basic information, like true distances opened our eyes to the realization that most golfers under-clubbed. This led to analytics such as fairway accuracy, greens-in-regulation, trends and tendencies on approach shots, sand saves, and even scrambling percentages. We also learned from our most active users about the kinds of things they felt would help them improve and engage. We developed Insights and Benchmarks, which enable golfers to compare themselves to friends and even the best players in the world. With GAME GOLF LIVE we're raising the bar and increasing the enjoyment of the game for all golfers."

GAME GOLF LIVE will retail for $299 US MSRP and will not require any additional service fees.  GAME GOLF is currently sold in Apple Stores (Europe), Canada, United Kingdom and Ireland; golf specialty shops; on #AmazonLaunchpad; and in more than 800 green grass pro shops worldwide. Integration with Apple Watch, Pebble and Android Wear coming soon.  For more information or to view videos of GAME GOLF in action, visit GAMEGOLF.com or follow us on Facebook and Twitter at @GAMEGOLF, #GAMEGOLF.

COBAN Technologies Introduces ECHO, A New Body-Worn Camera for Law Enforcement

HOUSTON, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- COBAN Technologies an industry leader in body-worn and in-car video solutions for law enforcement, has introduced the ECHO line of rugged and compact body-worn cameras.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151022/279704

ECHO was designed from the outset to address the unique operating environment found in law enforcement applications.  Compatible with COBAN's market-leading video management software suite, agencies can deploy the ECHO body camera system without having to implement onerous new processes or training.  Officers in the field have found ECHO to be intuitive and easy to use, which is especially important during critical, high-stress moments.  They are able to capture important events without having to remember complex, inconsistent instructions or button-pressing actions.  To simplify and shorten the process of uploading videos to back-office storage at the end of an officer's shift, the ECHO system supports automatic uploads when docked to multiple upload solutions, ranging from an in-vehicle dock connected to a laptop or in-car video system, to a high capacity 24-bay kiosk, which can also serve as a management station for rapid offload.

ECHO is managed by the same robust video management, evidence archiving, and back office administration software, which supports several of the largest police departments in the country.  Based on agency policies and procedures, COBAN's flexible storage options and scalable configurations allow agencies of any size, and of varying complexities, to experience a solution that is tailored to fit their needs. Also, in addition to ECHO videos, any evidence or files from other COBAN products, as well as files from any other device, like recordings from cellphones or surveillance systems, can be imported and managed under this unified interface.

"ECHO addresses the most important body cam challenges facing law enforcement agencies today: ease of use, durability, battery life and operations simplicity," says Doug Dickerson, COBAN's president.

ECHO's benefits include:

    --  High quality video and audio capture at 1080p, 720p, and WVGA
    --  Long battery life, 8 ½ hours of continuous record time, including
        Pre-Event mode and 16 hours of standby time
    --  Rugged IP56 design to protect against water, dust, vibration, heat and
        cold
    --  Compact footprint for flexible mounting options
    --  Simple design that includes record buttons on both sides and a
        programmable button that can be set by the agency to be used as a tag,
        mute or covert operations button
    --  POGO pin technology for video transfer and charging, which is 20 times
        more durable than mini-USB connectors
    --  Automatic video transfer and charging without requiring access to a
        computer
    --  Multi-bay dock option to manage and upload up to 24 cameras
    --  Advanced backend video management capable of scaling into millions of
        videos
ECHO is the most recent addition to COBAN's product line, which includes in-car video cameras and video evidence management solutions. ECHO integrates with COBAN's scalable evidence management systems, which allows:

    --  Agencies to define the lifecycle of each video based on department
        polices
    --  Maintain a complete chain of custody
    --  Manage all media devices under a unified platform
    --  Automatically distribute configurations and updates with a click of a
        button
About COBAN Technologies, Inc.

Polar Introduces Wrist-Based Heart Rate Monitor to Product Line with Polar A360 Fitness Tracker

MONTREAL, Oct. 22, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - Polar, the leader in heart rate sensors, activity trackers, and wearable sports technology, is taking its fitness trackers to the next level by introducing the colorful Polar A360 with wrist-based heart rate monitoring. Polar A360 features industry-leading heart rate measurement-based training guidance, in addition to 24/7 activity tracking, and all this information is displayed on a high-resolution color touchscreen. The A360 is waterproof and tracks daily activity, steps, calories, workouts, and sleep.

Designed to encompass a 360-degree lifestyle and encourage activity, Polar A360 vibrates to inform users of incoming calls, messages, calendar alerts, and social media notifications, and also to provide gentle reminders when they have been sitting still for too long. The Polar A360 is not only stylish, but also comfortable with small, medium, and large sizes available for the perfect fit. Users can match their personal style with interchangeable and vibrantly colored, soft silicone wristbands, which will be available in Powder White, Charcoal Black, Neon Green, Sorbet Pink and Navy Blue for individual purchase. Fully charged, the Polar A360 will track for two weeks with 24/7 activity tracking, including one hour of training per day. It also works with Polar's H7 heart rate monitor in case users prefer to train with a chest strap. The Polar A360 will be available in November 2015 for $274,99.

"The key to achieving Polar's well-known accuracy relies on how data is recorded by the sensor, and then how it is interpreted. We developed our own algorithm for optical heart rate monitoring and optimized the hardware design to ensure the A360 meets the same accuracy and quality standards that Polar customers have come to expect," says Marco Suvilaakso, Global Product Director at Polar. "Polar created the first heart rate monitor, and 38 years later we continue to be the trusted industry standard."

The latest wearable from Polar goes beyond daily activity tracking to also provide personalized training guidance and motivation to help users meet their fitness goals. The A360 offers the company's unique Smart Coaching features such as Activity Guide and Activity Benefit, which provide practical daily activity target suggestions and explain how activities affect the user's health.

Daily activity and heart rate training details can be viewed on the Polar Flow mobile app (available for iOS and Android), which offers an in-depth analysis of daily, weekly, and monthly activity. The Polar Flow web service also offers a window into a person's fitness and training diary. If training with a coach or personal trainer, Polar Flow for Coach offers additional training support, as users can connect and share workout information via the web service and receive feedback from their coaches. The A360 also works with Polar Club, allowing users to train with club instructors and view live heart rate data during fitness classes.

The Polar A360 will be available in Charcoal Black (size: M, L) and Powder White (size: S) in November in retail stores and online globally for $274,99. Additional colors such as Sorbet Pink (S, M) and Navy Blue (M) will be available soon after launch. Changeable wristbands in Powder White, Charcoal Black, Sorbet Pink, Navy Blue and Neon Green will be available in a variety of sizes and sold separately early next year.

Function Meets Style with Think Tank Photo's New Lily Deanne Women's Camera Bags

SANTA ROSA, Calif., Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Two of the photo industry's most tenured women, Lily Fisher, a senior camera bag designer, and Deanne Fitzmaurice, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer, collaborated to create the ideal camera bags for female photographers. After a decade interviewing female professional photographers and a year-and-a-half developing the bag, the result is the Lily Deanne shoulder bag line from Think Tank Photo -- the perfect marriage of function and style. Details can be found at: https://www.thinktankphoto.com/products/lily-deanne-mezzo

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150928/271192

Make no mistake, Lily Deanne bags are serious camera bags designed for quick access to pro-size camera bodies and lenses through the oversized zipper opening. The rare-earth magnetic closures on the main flap and front pockets allow for silent access while protecting delicate clothing. The adjustable non-slip shoulder pad is cushioned for all day comfort.

The Lily Deanne Lucido holds one standard size DSLR with one to three lenses and accessories, or a complete Mirrorless camera system with three to four lenses and accessories. An 8" tablet fits inside a dedicated compartment. The Lily Deanne Mezzo holds one standard-size DSLR with mid-range zoom attached, plus two to three additional lenses and 10" tablet or 11" laptop inside a dedicated compartment. The Lily Deanne Tutto holds one gripped DSLR with mid-range zoom lens attached and two to five additional lenses and 2 flashes, or one standard-size DSLR with 70-200mm f/2.8 attached and two to five lenses in its main compartment and 2 flashes, and a 15" laptop inside a dedicated compartment.

Lily Deanne bags come in two colors - Chestnut Brown and Black Licorice - and in three sizes: Lucido (sleek); Mezzo (middle); and, Tutto (everything). A professional photographer can now look stylish with the full-grain Dakota Leather flap and accents, metal hardware with chrome finish, and the Robin's Egg blue liner.

"With their extensive pockets and compartments for added capacity, it was also important to keep the bags sleek, soft and lightweight while still providing protection," said Deanne Fitzmaurice, who is also a co-founder of Think Tank Photo. "Female professional shooters are photographers first, so the Lily Deanne bags had to maintain Think Tank's commitment to function, speed, and accessibility.  That said, there's no reason why the bags can't also have a soft look and feel, and be made with the best quality fabrics and materials."

"I poured almost two decades of design experience into this innovative new line-up of bags," said Lily Fisher. "We approached them from an entirely different perspective. We didn't want to create women's bags that hold photo equipment. We wanted to create pro-level camera bags that fit a woman's unique aesthetic."

Lily Deanne bags are ideal for wedding and event photography, portraiture, editorial, corporate and commercial photography.

MATERIALS
Exterior: All fabric exterior treated with durable water resistant coating while fabric underside is coated with polyurethane for superior water resistance, full-grain Dakota leather, chrome plated metal hardware, neodymium (rare-earth) magnets, highest quality YKK® RC-Fuse zippers, 420D velocity nylon, 420 high-density nylon, nylon seatbelt webbing, 320g airmesh, silicone non-slip screenprint, 3-ply bonded nylon thread.

NewComLink, Sony Partner on Innovative Financing Solution

Easy payments plan makes gaming more affordable for Millennials

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony and NewComLink have launched a new program that will make it easier for gamers, especially Millennials, to purchase a Sony PlayStation 4.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150529/219533LOGO

Using NewComLink's simple financing platform, the program allows consumers to buy a PS4--which normally retails for $349.99--for a $9.99 down payment, followed by $24 monthly payments for 24 months. The purchase also includes a two-year PS+ subscription, which gives buyers access to next-gen online multiplayer, a network of free games and discounts on classic and new release titles. In addition, if consumers sign up for auto-pay, they qualify for a free PS4 game.

To participate, consumers fill out an online application and receive an approval decision within seconds. If approved, consumers then print or download a shopping pass with a virtual credit card number and present it at any local participating retailer to immediately pick up their PS4.

"With this program, consumers can use their computer or mobile device to get the product they want, at payments they can afford, all within seconds," said Terence Spielman, NewComLink's Chief Technology Officer. "Our aim is to make it easier for gamers to access products and for Sony to capture sales that would have otherwise been lost."

The program offers consumers who may not qualify for primary credit, like a store-branded credit card, an alternative option for financing their purchase. Research has found that nearly 50 percent of all point-of-sale applications for primary credit are declined.

Sony now has additional opportunity to connect with Millennials, two-thirds of whom describe themselves as "regular" or "avid" gamers. This demographic is especially likely to be declined for primary credit: according to Experian, the average consumer between the ages of 19 and 29 has a credit score of just 628, compared to 700 for the average Baby Boomer.

The program will also benefit the participating retailers who can expect to see an increase in foot traffic as consumers visit the store to pick up their purchases.

About NewComLink
Based in Austin, Texas, NewComLink (NCL) is a financial technology leader in consumer financing solutions. NCL helps retailers and manufacturers launch and implement innovative lending programs that provide more consumers with the financing options they want and need. NCL's simple solutions deliver increased sales and a better consumer financing experience while giving retailers and manufacturers greater control over their lending options.

New Epson UltraChrome HDX Pigment Ink Technology Delivers the Highest Print Permanence Ratings in History for Epson UltraChrome Inks

All-New Photographic Pigment Inks Featured in Epson SureColor P7000 24-inch and SureColor P9000 44-inch Large-Format Printers Preserves the Legacy of the Print

NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- (PhotoPlus Expo, Booth #707) -- Epson America, Inc. today announced another milestone in photographic ink technology and print longevity with preliminary print permanence ratings for its new Epson UltraChrome(®) HDX pigment ink technology. Featured in the new SureColor(®) P7000 and SureColor P9000 printers, data accumulated to date indicates that - depending upon the type of paper - the new inks can provide print permanence ratings of up to 200 years for color prints, and likely in excess of 400 years for black and white prints when printed with Epson's "Advanced Black and White Print Mode." According to comprehensive tests conducted by Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc. (WIR), the world's leading independent permanence testing laboratory, Epson UltraChrome HDX pigment inks can provide up to twice the Display Permanence Ratings of earlier generations of Epson UltraChrome inks with most Epson photo and fine art papers, including the new line of Epson Legacy Fine Art Papers.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20121130/LA21891LOGO

These new permanence test results also apply to the previously announced eight-color Epson UltraChrome HD inks featured in the Epson SureColor P600 13-inch and SureColor P800 17-inch printers, as well as the new Epson SureColor P6000 24-inch and SureColor P8000 44-inch printers.

The permanence of displayed prints created with new UltraChrome HDX and HD inks far exceeds that of the very best silver-halide color (chromogenic) papers - including silver-halide color papers that are face-mounted to UV-filtering acrylic sheet. The result is a new level of color print permanence for the fine art, museum, documentary, portrait/wedding, and commercial photography markets that have been relying on silver-halide color papers for their customers. The enhanced display permanence ratings of the new Epson UltraChrome HDX pigment inks set a new benchmark that the comparatively low-stability chromogenic dye images of traditional silver-halide color papers simply cannot deliver.

WIR's multi-factor print permanence test procedure extends beyond the effects of accelerated light exposure to evaluate the display and storage factors that can affect the life of a print over time. Prints made on Epson fine art photo papers and canvas with the new UltraChrome HDX pigment inks are expected to have WIR Album and Dark Storage Permanence Ratings in excess of 200 years, with many of the papers expected to achieve a rating of greater than 400 years in dark storage; the prints exhibit high resistance to atmospheric ozone; have very good water-resistance properties; and the pigment images are extremely resistant to damage caused by storage or display in high-humidity environments. In addition, preliminary data from ongoing tests indicate that, depending on the specific paper, WIR Display Permanence Ratings for black and white prints made with both the UltraChrome HDX and HD inks using Epson's "Advanced Black and White Print Mode" will likely exceed 400 years.

"We strive to produce the most advanced photographic printing and ink technologies that will inspire photographers to print their art," said Mark Radogna, group manager, Epson Professional Imaging. "Utilizing ten newly developed high-stability pigment inks - cyan, light cyan, magenta, light magenta, yellow, orange, green, black, light black, and light light black - our latest Epson UltraChrome HDX ink set used within the new Epson SureColor P7000 and P9000 printers offers professionals an incredible tool to produce collectible works of art capable of lasting for many generations. It's the ultimate way to preserve the legacy of any artist."

The following papers are currently in testing at Wilhelm Imaging Research; additional papers and canvas materials will be added in the future:

    --  Epson Legacy Papers: Legacy Fibre, Legacy Platine, Legacy Baryta, and
        Legacy Etching
    --  Epson Signature Worthy Papers: Hot Press Bright, Hot Press Natural, Cold
        Press Bright, Cold Press Natural, Exhibition Fiber Paper, Premium Luster
        Photo Paper (260)
"The increased Dmax, wider color gamut, and reduced metamerism provided by the new Epson UltraChrome HDX pigment inks serve to significantly enhance the visual brilliance of both color and black and white images," said Henry Wilhelm, founder and director of research at Wilhelm Imaging Research. "The increased overall permanence of the prints represents a significant contribution to photography."

Additional print permanence test results for the new UltraChrome HDX and HD inks on a wide variety of media will be posted as additional testing is available.

SKILSAW Launches New SIDEWINDER Saw for Fiber Cement for Trade Professionals

Optimum power and dust collection extends tool life and lessens user fatigue

MT. PROSPECT, Ill., Oct. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cutting fiber cement material can be tough on both the user and their saw. That's why SKILSAW(®), a leader in wood cutting saws for more than 90 years, took on the task to create a jobsite cutting solution to help pros power through this demanding job. The SKILSAW 7-1/4 in. SIDEWINDER(TM) Circular Saw for Fiber Cement relies on the brand's long-standing expertise to create a saw that is not only engineered with optimal power for greater efficiency on the jobsite, but also funnels harmful silica dust away from the tool motor for a longer life and a cleaner work space. What's more, the saw is designed with the same high standards of every SKILSAW to ensure maximum performance and durability for pros.

The SKILSAW 7-1/4 in. SIDEWINDER for Fiber Cement is available with a Diablo fiber cement blade (SPT67FMD-22) or a SKILSAW blade (SPT67FMD-01) and features a unique dust collection system. The tool includes a blade guard extension and dust channel that funnels dust into the included vacuum hose, where it's then collected in a jobsite vac. The saw's no-mar cord and hose sleeve keeps these items protected from the cutting surface and makes handling the tool more convenient so users can focus on the job at hand. Pros will also benefit from the SKILSAW Dual-Field(TM) motor which ensures best-in-class performance and durability. The lightweight yet rugged magnesium components make the new SIDEWINDER for Fiber Cement the perfect tool for remodeling and new construction projects as it handles cut after cut all day long.

"SKILSAW looks for ways to increase jobsite productivity, and tackling fiber cement cutting is a natural next step as the demand for the material, such as fiber cement board on jobsites continues to grow at a rapid pace," said Miki Vuckovic, SKILSAW Product Manager. "The new SIDEWINDER for Fiber Cement offers tried and true SKILSAW cutting technology, a comprehensive dust management system and best-in-class ergonomics".

Available in April 2016, the new SIDEWINDER for Fiber Cement saws can be found at industrial distributors nationwide with a suggested retail price of $199 (USD). The new SIDEWINDER for Fiber Cement also has the Stay True Gaurantee(TM) that all of the saws carry because every SKILSAW should be as hardworking and reliable as its user. After 180 days, if the user is unsatisfied, the company will honor its word and refund the cost of the saw. More information will be available on http://www.skilsaw.com in the near future.
