Western Massachusetts Comcast Customers Can Now Turn Devices In Their Home Into A TV
Live In-Home Streaming and X1 DVR with Cloud Technology Features Now Available;
New Offerings Put Full TV Experience on Phones, Tablets and Laptops; Enable Streaming and Downloading of DVR Programming for Viewing On The Go
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting today, Comcast X1 customers in Western Massachusetts will be able to access their TV lineup on any connected screen in their home. Additionally, they will be able to download programs they have recorded on their digital video recorder (DVR) to watch on IP-enabled devices or stream them using an Internet connection, anytime and anywhere. The in-home streaming feature provides access to virtually the entire channel line-up and Xfinity On Demand programming on mobile devices and computers. The content is presented to customers via the familiar X1 user experience.
"These new features -- live in-home streaming and X1 DVR with cloud technology -- give our customers more flexibility for watching their favorite shows and movies in and out of their home," said Mary McLaughlin, Senior Vice President of Comcast's Western New England Region, which includes Western Massachusetts. "Now, any screen in the house can become a personal TV, and recorded programs can be accessed anytime, anywhere."
According to the Consumer Electronics Association, nearly 46 percent of all TV households watch video on a laptop, notebook or netbook, and 43 percent view videos on a smartphone. That's up from 38 percent and 33 percent, respectively, from the year prior.
X1 DVR with cloud technology gives customers more flexibility for viewing their favorite programming at home or on the go. While in the home, they can watch any recording on IP-enabled devices over Comcast's managed network, or download recordings to take on the go. Out-of-home, they can use an Internet connection to stream or download their recordings as well.
To deliver these new features to Xfinity TV customers, Comcast has launched an Xfinity TV app for iOS and Android tablets and smartphones, and a dedicated portal for viewing on computers. To live stream their TV lineups or watch DVR and On Demand programming while on tablets or smartphones in their homes, customers can simply download the Xfinity TV app from the App Store, open the app and sign-in with their Xfinity TV credentials.
Live in-home streaming and X1 DVR with cloud technology were announced today in Connecticut; Western Massachusetts; Putnam County, New York and Vermont. They are also available in Atlanta, Augusta, Baltimore, Boston, the greater Chicago area, Houston, Nashville, Knoxville, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington D.C. Comcast will continue to roll these features out to more of its X1 customers next year.

InMobi Audience Personas, built from over one trillion mobile consumer interactions,
are now available for programmatic buying. The InMobi Exchange is the first to offer
proprietary, mobile-first audience segments in 36 countries at scale.
Third party audience segments from Factual globally, as well as BlueKai in the United
States, and Experian and DLG-PDV in the United Kingdom are also available via automated
direct orders. In addition, advertisers can create custom audience segments from the
InMobi consumer data store of 872 million monthly unique users, and buy those
programmatically.
Identifying audiences in a fragmented app ecosystem has been a major challenge for
digital advertisers. By making mobile audience segments available via automated direct
orders, InMobi has made it easy for advertisers to identify and target relevant segments.
Buyers on the InMobi Exchange benefit from a streamlined workflow where they can browse
the audience segments, initiate proposals, and bid on impressions once the deal is
approved.
"Programmatic direct orders enable buyers to use the power of data and targeting along
with increased flexibility. It's a way of engaging with sellers in a deeper and more
meaningful fashion and is where we see the industry heading," said Richard Hocking,
Director, Starcom MediaVest Group.
"Combining InMobi's global scale with Factual's depth and variety of audience segments
creates a powerful opportunity for marketers to reach specific target audiences where they
are spending more time every day - on mobile apps," Kristian Wilson, Director, Client
Services and Partner Development, Factual.
"We are committed to improving the efficacy of mobile advertising globally. A vast
majority of digital consumer interactions are experienced through mobile apps - not
desktop or mobile browsers. As a result, it is critical that buyers have a media partner
that can enable the buying of mobile app audiences around the world," said Anne Frisbie,
Vice President & General Manager - Global Alliances, InMobi.

Toshiba Power Management IC Optimizes Electronic Power Functionality For Consumer And Industrial Mobile Products
New system power-management device manages optimum power for application processor, memory, I/O, camera, audio and LED backlighting
SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs, today announced a new system power management IC (PMIC) designed to help optimize power management functions for a wide range of mobile products. The TC7734FTG PMIC adopts a 130-nanometer analog semiconductor process with very low on-resistance and gate charge characteristics, and integrates various power management blocks within a single device.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141006/150586
Rising demand for mobile products is driving concurrent growth in the market for PMICs, as manufacturers continually seek to reduce their products' power consumption. According to Transparency Market Research, the current compound annual growth rate for the global PMIC market (2013-2019) is currently 6.15 percent. By these statistics, the market will reach $46 billion by 2019. [1]
"Our customers often face conflicting challenges in battery-powered products where compact, efficient, and highly reliable power management solutions are needed in a short time-to-market window," said Deepak Mithani, senior director, Mixed-Signal Business Unit, System LSI Group at TAEC. "Toshiba is committed to providing power-management solutions that will help them to achieve these goals."
Power management blocks integrated by the TC7734FTG include power paths, switching charger, four-channel buck converters, three-channel low-dropout (LDO) regulators and two- channel LED backlight drivers. The charger block detects various USB(TM) port conditions and restricts the input current to 500mA, 1000mA or 1500mA, and all charger functions operate automatically without the need for any external control signals and it automatically changes the voltage source between the battery and USB connection as needed.
The IC also features an external thermistor that detects the battery's temperature, helping to prevent overheating while the mobile device is charging. Various thresholds and settings of the charger functions can be programmed by the onboard I2C interface. Individual settings of various output voltage levels, power sequences and many other functions can be programmed via I2C, with user-programmable eFuse to fit various platforms needs.
The TC7734FTG is housed in a compact 7mmx7mm QFN64 package with input voltage ranging from 3.4V to 5.5V. The IC integrates various error detect function, including thermal detect, over current limitation and LED open/short detection, to help ensure proper operation of smartphones, tablets, handheld medical devices, industrial PDAs, barcode readers and portable instruments.

Permabit Wraps Up 2014 with New Data Efficiency Product Capabilities, Partners and Patents
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Permabit Technology Corporation, the innovative leader in data efficiency technology, today announced that it has successfully ended the year, adding new capabilities to its latest release of Albireo SANblox(TM), signing key new partnership agreements and being awarded two patents in the area of data reduction.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20120620/LA27917LOGO
Albireo SANblox, which the company released earlier this fall, is the storage industry's first high-performance data efficiency appliance for Fibre Channel SAN arrays, and the only appliance on the market to deliver inline deduplication, compression and now thin provisioning. Internal thin provisioning expands the applicability of SANblox to include storage units that do not have this important data efficiency feature built in. SANblox can be deployed in all-flash, hybrid or HDD environments in a matter of hours to provide typical 6:1 data reduction benefits.
"We continue to enhance the SANblox product with additional data efficiency capabilities based on customer demand," said Louis Imershein, Senior Director of Product Strategy at Permabit. "For enterprise storage systems that do not have their own thin provisioning technology, we have added built-in thin provisioning that tightly integrates with our inline deduplication and compression to provide support for the broadest range of enterprise storage solutions while delivering the highest possible return on investment."
Permabit's deep commitment to partners enables the quick delivery of industry-transforming data efficiency solutions that allow customers to cut effective cost, increase effective capacity and address their customers' universal requirement to purchase more storage for less money. In the months following the SANblox release, Permabit has announced partnerships with EMC and NetApp to further extend the reach of its data reduction solutions.
In addition, the company was recently assigned two new patents, bringing the total awarded to 34 in a technology space where little patent whitespace remains. Notably, US Patent No. 8,898,107, issued November 25, 2014, expands the claims of Permabit's earlier core Albireo patent to include a variety of different techniques for integrating a memory-efficient deduplication index into a storage system.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Permabit Technology Corporation, the innovative leader in data efficiency technology, today announced that it has successfully ended the year, adding new capabilities to its latest release of Albireo SANblox(TM), signing key new partnership agreements and being awarded two patents in the area of data reduction.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20120620/LA27917LOGO
Albireo SANblox, which the company released earlier this fall, is the storage industry's first high-performance data efficiency appliance for Fibre Channel SAN arrays, and the only appliance on the market to deliver inline deduplication, compression and now thin provisioning. Internal thin provisioning expands the applicability of SANblox to include storage units that do not have this important data efficiency feature built in. SANblox can be deployed in all-flash, hybrid or HDD environments in a matter of hours to provide typical 6:1 data reduction benefits.
"We continue to enhance the SANblox product with additional data efficiency capabilities based on customer demand," said Louis Imershein, Senior Director of Product Strategy at Permabit. "For enterprise storage systems that do not have their own thin provisioning technology, we have added built-in thin provisioning that tightly integrates with our inline deduplication and compression to provide support for the broadest range of enterprise storage solutions while delivering the highest possible return on investment."
Permabit's deep commitment to partners enables the quick delivery of industry-transforming data efficiency solutions that allow customers to cut effective cost, increase effective capacity and address their customers' universal requirement to purchase more storage for less money. In the months following the SANblox release, Permabit has announced partnerships with EMC and NetApp to further extend the reach of its data reduction solutions.
In addition, the company was recently assigned two new patents, bringing the total awarded to 34 in a technology space where little patent whitespace remains. Notably, US Patent No. 8,898,107, issued November 25, 2014, expands the claims of Permabit's earlier core Albireo patent to include a variety of different techniques for integrating a memory-efficient deduplication index into a storage system.

Give the Gift of Coffee on the Go With the MoJoe Brewing Co. Mobile Coffee Maker
Innovative portable coffee maker brews coffee while you travel
BALTIMORE, Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Coffee is a lifestyle. If you or someone you know indulges in the "black gold," you are probably very familiar with the misery that ensues when there isn't enough time to grab a cup of coffee.

Engineers and entrepreneurs at MoJoe Brewing Co. have developed an awesome, why-didn't-I-think-of-that device that seeks to solve your misery: a personal mobile coffee maker that can brew fresh coffee, tea, or hot chocolate wherever you are.
Just in time for the holidays, MoJoe Brewing Co. is offering this innovative gadget at an extremely affordable pre-order price of $39 - you can order a mojoe for yourself or gift a mojoe to your favorite coffee connoisseurs with a personal message from you (mojoebrewing.com).
More than half of Americans start their morning off with a fresh cup of hot coffee - that morning is usually also jam-packed with getting the kids ready, shoveling down breakfast, or hastily ironing work clothes.
Joseph Hyman, a co-founder at MoJoe Brewing Co., says "You would be surprised at how much time and money we spend satisfying our coffee fix. The fact that mojoe saves you precious time in the morning, keeps money in your pocket, and let's you enjoy your coffee anywhere is a huge deal for the average coffee drinker."
So how does the mojoe work? MoJoe borrows concepts from vacuum coffee brewing where vapor pressures and vacuum move the water from one chamber to the other, passing through coffee grounds and producing coffee in the process. Simply add any temperature water - from a water bottle for example - your own coffee grounds, and the mojoe does the rest (which includes heating it up to almost 200?F!). Within minutes, your coffee is ready to enjoy directly from the travel-mug sized device. The engineers at MoJoe Brewing Co. designed the portable brewer so that you can cleanly store your coffee, sugar, and cream inside the mojoe until you are ready to brew. When you are ready, use the mojoe rechargeable battery, car adapter, or wall adapter to power up the mojoe and brew your fresh cup.
And where can you use the mojoe? Anywhere!
Pre-order a mojoe for yourself or scratch some names off of your holiday shopping list with this perfect gift for any coffee lover. MoJoe Brewing Co. will even wait to send your gift on Christmas Day.

MoJoe Brewing Company is a Baltimore, Maryland-based, tech start-up providing innovative mobile coffee technology to coffee lovers. MoJoe Brewing Company strives to make coffee brewing mobile, and easy, allowing coffee lovers to brew coffee when and where they want.

SYOBE Creative Announces 'Cinema Game RAGE' Blend of Real Motion Video and Gameplay for Android
'Cinema Game RAGE,' a revolutionary gaming concept developed by Korean content creation company SYOBE Creative, is now available for download in the Google Play Store. This new game will offer a unique experience that can be considered to be the perfect fusion of movie and game.
SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Gaming addicts around the world can now experience the unique combination of a game and a movie. SYOBE Creative's latest creation 'Cinema Game RAGE' will not only provide them gaming pleasure, but also empower them to change the course of an interesting movie with their choices. Moreover, players can play games made from spectacular movies and various types of exciting mini games.

SYOBE Creative explains, "Cinema Game RAGE is not just a mere combination of a movie and a game. It will not be an overstatement to say that this is an assorted art gift set. Rich content and glamorous gameplay will make users eager to play our just released Cinema Game RAGE."
Cinema and gaming have always been two of the most common and popular forms of entertainment. However, to date, there have not been any worthwhile efforts to combine them. Cinema Game RAGE is a new type of content that merges the storytelling feature of motion videos with the bidirectional characteristic of games. Players will not only enjoy a high quality storyline, but they can also influence the same by taking part in actions, chases, and explorations.
To find out more about Cinema Game RAGE, please visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?vyfAKPJwi0.
Underlining the significance of this new, revolutionary concept of gaming, a senior official from SYOBE Creative said, "Right now, the mobile gaming market is dominated by action, simulation, and casual games. Cinema Game RAGE was designed to pioneer a new genre of games with a storyline-centered playing experience. With this, we expect to be able to let users engage interactively with the storyline."
It is important to note here that there have been successful efforts to create storyline centered games in the past. However, Cinema Game RAGE stands apart from these games in more than one way. Developed based on real motion videos instead of 2D graphics, the game will offer more vitality than what people expect from a game. To develop the world's first game based on real life, SYOBE Creative has integrated the FMV (Full Motion Video) and ASV (Action Streaming Video) technologies. The organization's patent pending Pattern Processing Technology has been used to process the streaming videos and the game's user interface.

About SYOBE Creative: SYOBE Creative is a revolutionary cultural contents company that has developed the world's first cinema game, an interactive next-generation game based on real motion movie.

Blesh Pioneers the First Commercial Physical Web Beacons and SDK to Connect People to The Internet of Things

Blesh Pioneers the First Commercial Physical Web Beacons and SDK to Connect People to The Internet of Things
Now Available: Blesh PW Beacons and PW App That Enable Developers to Assign Web Attributes to Physical Objects for Frictionless Interaction between People and Things
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Developers who want a head start enabling physical objects to communicate with smart phones and other personal gadgets can now order Blesh PW Beacons and the Blesh PW App http://www.blesh.com and participate in the public project called "The Physical Web", https://github.com/google/physical-web an initiative that plans to let people walk up to smart objects and with a single tap interact with them on demand.
"Physical Web" beacons give intelligence to everyday objects and do much more than simply broadcast a message such as an advertisement. The beacon broadcasts a URL that is recognized by the user's mobile device and works together with mobile search without the need for any other custom app.
The Blesh PW Beacons are tiny low-cost Physical Web stick-on devices that weigh less than an ounce. They broadcast a URL via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) smart signals that can give intelligence to physical objects and let nearby Android devices such as smart phones interact with them to initiate tasks, obtain information, pay for purchases or simply identify themselves to the object.
Physical Web beacons can be programmed to link to rich, dynamic web-based content and functionality. When a user device (such as a smart phone or wearable) approaches, the beacons simply announce their presence and allow users to take the next step to initiate the dialogue or action. For instance, while waiting for the next bus at their usual bus stop, the beacons can deliver details about the arrival of the next bus, let users select goodies from a vending machine and even pay for them using their smart devices. Or, in a PW Beacon-enabled department store, they can see whether an item is on sale, whether the item is in stock and be guided to where it is located.
Blesh PW Beacons come with a standard URL that can be edited and customized and managed using the Blesh PW App. Aside from managing the broadcast URLs, the app also provides the firmware updates for the beacons. The Blesh PW App is available on the Google Play store and provides the communications protocols between the beacons and smart phones. More functionality will be added as discussions on the open Physical Web project continue.
Unlike QR codes that require a user to focus on an image, or NFC which has a range of only seven inches, BLE has a range of 54 yards, an important point to consider in such applications as guiding a user through a dynamic facility such as a stadium, an airport or crowded retail store.
"We are pleased that Blesh is ready to bring its PW Beacons to the market in a complete kit that will accelerate development of a new standard that will sort out and provide control over the Internet of Things," said Scott Jenson of the Physical Web team. "Because of the low price point of beacons and open source development, businesses large and small can participate and help make the Physical Web a reality."
"We encourage developers to let their imaginations run wild," said Devrim Sonmez, CEO of Blesh. "We see even non-smart phone devices such as wearables communicating with Blesh PW beacons making possible an ecosystem that blurs the edge between physical items and the web."
The Physical Web is an open experimental project https://github.com/google/physical-web and is available for participation by any developer. The tech community can experiment and begin to standardize a system whereby physical objects can communicate with nearby devices without requiring WiFi or requiring users to install a specialized app (such as a retail store affinity app).
For more information please see http://www.blesh.com.
PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
The Blesh PW kit is available for US$50 and consists of three Blesh PW beacon devices. The kits ship anywhere in the world.
ABOUT BLESH
The idea behind Blesh (Bluetooth Low Energy Smart Hub) emerged in 2011 as a breakthrough opportunity in mobile technology. With the launch of Bluetooth Low Energy or Bluetooth LE, the founders of Blesh set to work on the possibilities this new technology presents and established Blesh in 2013.
Approved and contracted by Apple as an iBeacon service provider, Blesh is also a Samsung Enterprise Application Silver Partner. As a member in the Bluetooth SIG, Blesh has contributed to the new Bluetooth standard and has participated as an "Innovator" in the SIG's Bluetooth World Event in San Jose, California in April 2014.
Blesh has already been listed among leading global companies offering sensor-based services according to OHO Interactive since April 2014. Blesh currently focuses on mobile, wearables and sensor technologies. Currently more than 4000 Blesh iBeacon devices have been deployed for more than 500 brands.

2015 Brings Supercharged In-Earphones for Android Smartphones
STOCKHOLM, December 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
At Degauss Labs global headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden, the company announced a new
in-ear headphone powered by a balanced armature driver technology paired with a dynamic
armature. This in-ear personal audio solution will fall under the NOIR brand, which also
stands for Hybrid solution (balanced + dynamic armatures). The model includes a 3-button
headset control with built-in microphone supporting all 3 major Smartphone O/S's from
Google, Apple and Microsoft.

The Degauss Labs NOIR line up are designed especially for listening to music through
your Smartphone. The NOIR's balanced driver are about a quarter the size of a 13.5mm
dynamic driver, but sport equivalent sensitivity. Added to that is a 10mm Dynamic driver
creating powerful bass added to the details created by the balanced driver. What this
brings to the table is high resolution and high-sensitivity audio along with high sound
isolation, and not to mention the obvious size and weight benefits that come along with
miniaturization.
Designed for hardcore music fans
Degauss Labs NOIR brings fresh styling in this nicely varied and distinctive product.
For this new series, we can thank designers who were not content to rest making just a
good sounding earphone, but also good looks. The NOIR creates a very clean and powerful
impression in both design and sound - and yes it is all black, mixing glossy and matte
black surfaces.
Twisted cable - less microphonic noise
The NOIR comes with a twisted tangle-less cable. The cable itself is designed to cut
out more of that microphonic noise often overheard by the cable moving against clothing.
Dual Driver technology with balanced armatures
NOIR earpieces contain two separate speakers - one to handle the high and mid
frequencies, and one to handle bass. Noir uses a Hybrid 2-way driver unit with extended
bass/ profound vocal sound. This separation creates a more rich and filled-out sound that
makes any kind of music sound better. This is the first Degauss Labs pairs a Dynamic
driver is paired with a Balanced armature, possible through cutting edge earphone
circuitry splitting the signal path appropriately.
Availability and Pricing
Degauss Labs representatives say that the NOIR lineup should reach U.S and Europe in
time for the new year start. As for pricing the NOIR will be going for $129 or 99EUR.
The product can already now be ordered online http://www.degausslabs.com/shop
Headset Control Center App for Android.
The Degauss Labs Headset Control Center available for free on Google Play gives your
headset additional functions such as auto starting your favorite music player or making up
to 5-clicks programmable on your headset microphone button. Works with most headsets.
The Degauss Labs NOIR uses both a balanced and a dynamic driver to produce its high
quality sound.

dynamic driver, but sport equivalent sensitivity. Added to that is a 10mm Dynamic driver
creating powerful bass added to the details created by the balanced driver. What this
brings to the table is high resolution and high-sensitivity audio along with high sound
isolation, and not to mention the obvious size and weight benefits that come along with
miniaturization.
Designed for hardcore music fans
Degauss Labs NOIR brings fresh styling in this nicely varied and distinctive product.
For this new series, we can thank designers who were not content to rest making just a
good sounding earphone, but also good looks. The NOIR creates a very clean and powerful
impression in both design and sound - and yes it is all black, mixing glossy and matte
black surfaces.
Twisted cable - less microphonic noise
The NOIR comes with a twisted tangle-less cable. The cable itself is designed to cut
out more of that microphonic noise often overheard by the cable moving against clothing.
Dual Driver technology with balanced armatures
NOIR earpieces contain two separate speakers - one to handle the high and mid
frequencies, and one to handle bass. Noir uses a Hybrid 2-way driver unit with extended
bass/ profound vocal sound. This separation creates a more rich and filled-out sound that
makes any kind of music sound better. This is the first Degauss Labs pairs a Dynamic
driver is paired with a Balanced armature, possible through cutting edge earphone
circuitry splitting the signal path appropriately.
Availability and Pricing
Degauss Labs representatives say that the NOIR lineup should reach U.S and Europe in
time for the new year start. As for pricing the NOIR will be going for $129 or 99EUR.
The product can already now be ordered online http://www.degausslabs.com/shop
Headset Control Center App for Android.
The Degauss Labs Headset Control Center available for free on Google Play gives your
headset additional functions such as auto starting your favorite music player or making up
to 5-clicks programmable on your headset microphone button. Works with most headsets.
The Degauss Labs NOIR uses both a balanced and a dynamic driver to produce its high
quality sound.

Royole Develops World's Thinnest 0.01 mm Full-Color AMOLED Flexible Display
Poster: SySAdmin
Posted on December 16, 2014 at 7:14:01 AM
Royole Develops World's Thinnest 0.01 mm Full-Color AMOLED Flexible Display
FREMONT, Calif. and SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Royole Corporation has successfully demonstrated the world's thinnest full-color flexible display that has been integrated with a smartphone in July 2014. This flexible display can be easily bendable as well as rollable. The thickness of the whole display is only about 0.01 mm (10 m), which is less than one fifth the diameter of the human hair. The bending radius of this flexible display can be less than 1 mm, which is even thinner than a pen refill.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141215/164601
Dr. Bill Liu, a Stanford graduate and the founder of Royole Corporation, has stated that the newly developed full-color AMOLED flexible display is a significant improvement when compared with the thin flexible display backplane released one year ago by Royole, as it not only uses AMOLED as the front panel, but has also been successfully integrated with a fully-functional mobile platform. Royole has also reduced the overall display thickness by an order of magnitude, with the display thickness being as thin as an onion skin.
According to a published report from the company, this new display is ultra-flexible with demonstrated reliability. For example, while the bending radius of the display is smaller than the radius of a typical pen refill, it still has the capability to display high quality videos with brilliant and vivid colors.
Flexible displays have many advantages, such as being ultra-thin, light weight, bendable, portable, shatter-proof, unbreakable, low energy, sleek design capability, etc. Compared with the traditional flat panel displays, flexible displays provide greater freedom for product design, as well as greatly improving the user's experience. Additionally, the application of novel processing technologies (printing or roll-to-roll) to fabricate the flexible display can largely reduce the cost of production.
It follows then that flexible AMOLED display has been widely considered by the display industry as the next generation of information display technology, replacing CRT and LCD, and which has the potential to be applied in numerous areas such as novel smart phones, intelligent home systems, wearable electronic devices, etc. This will have an unprecedented impact in diverse visual experiences in our daily lives.
The market research company, IDTechEx, has predicted that the global printed and flexible electronics market will reach $330 billion by the year 2027, in which flexible display will be the major market segment. In the recently released IDTechEx report, the flexible display market was predicted to show an explosive growth within the next decade.
The design and fabrication of flexible displays are very challenging, and many aspects of manufacturing issues and problems need to be addressed, including materials, processing, semiconductor device structures, integrated circuits and system design, etc. Therefore, the design and manufacturing of flexible displays are far beyond simply changing the substrate type or only replacing the functional material in the traditional display. Over the past two years, Royole Corporation has already accumulated hundreds of intellectual property rights including know-hows in technologies covering virtually all the aspects of display manufacturing such as materials, processing, devices, circuits, electronic system design, etc., which they have utilized in their recent breakthrough. With the world's thinnest bendable and rollable full-color AMOLED flexible display for smartphones as pioneered by Royole Corporation, the display industry revolution may be soon accelerated.
Royole is a global start-up company focusing on R&D of novel information display technologies, especially the research, design, development and manufacturing of the flexible displays and related electronic devices. Royole Corporation operates in three major high-tech regions globally: Silicon Valley in the U.S., Hong Kong, and Shenzhen, China, since starting in the middle of 2012. The company is backed by several of the world's premier VC firms and angel investors since its inception.
Royole Corporation is led by a team of experienced technology experts and professionals from Stanford, Tsinghua, several other top research institutes and Fortune Global 500 high-tech companies.

During the seminar, TUV Rheinland's expert Mr William Chung, Assistant Manager of Electrical, discussed his findings, including those on differences in the quality and accuracy of various wearable device functions, such as heart rate monitoring, in devices in different price ranges.
<http://photos.prnasia.com/prnh/20141216/8521407549> Infographic on TUV Rheinland Wearable Device Certification. Â
The seminar was conducted with the cooperation of the Federation of Hong Kong Industries and attracted a dozen manufacturers hoping to obtain insight into the latest wearable trends. During the seminar, Mr Chung explained the mandatory safety requirements and fitness-for-use testing that wearable devices are subject to. The attendees expressed interest in learning how to define the quality of devices and conduct tests to simulate the user experience. Safety, data accuracy and comfort were also issues of key concern.
With sales of wearable devices forecast to rise, many companies are investing in R&D, and a wide variety of wearable products with different shapes and functions have been introduced to the market. The quality of these products depends on their price and the technical background of their manufacturer. To address the quality issue, TUV Rheinland has launched the world's first certification standard for wearable devices, thereby helping manufacturers to attest to the safety and smart and wearable functions of their products while also boasting of their user-friendliness.
To meet TUV Rheinland's wearable device certification standard, devices must fulfil three requirements: safety, wearability and smart functionality. Such devices are expected to be integrated into the user's life as seamlessly as possible, which may mean close contact with the user in collecting data over a long period of time. Therefore, users' primary concern is device safety. During the certification process, our experts inspect the wearable device itself, as well as its battery and power adapter. The certification standard also covers wireless connectivity, electromagnetic compatibility and hazardous substance use to minimise the potential hazards for users.

Quantum Dot Technology To Join LG's 4K ULTRA HD TV Lineup In 2015
LG Offers More Choices for Premium Home Viewing Experience
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Dec. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG) will unveil a new 4K ULTRA HD TV series with quantum dot technology as a new component of its expanded TV lineup at the 2015 International CES(®), Jan. 6-9 in Las Vegas. LG's 4K ULTRA HD TVs with quantum dot technology will offer a wider color palette and improved color saturation than conventional LCD TVs and will be available in 2015 to complement LG's other ULTRA HD TV and OLED TV offerings.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141215/164513
LG's quantum dot technology displays an extremely wide color gamut, making it ideal for 4K content. The technology works by harnessing nano crystals that range in size from 2 to 10 nanometers. Each dot emits a different color depending on its size. By adding a film of quantum dots in front of the LCD backlight, picture color reproduction rate and overall brightness are significantly improved.
Since the nano-sized dots emit extraordinarily vivid colors, quantum dot technology is able to enhance the already stunning capabilities of LG's 4K ULTRA HD In-Plane Switching (IPS) displays. The color reproduction rate in LG's IPS panels, which offers high color accuracy and extra wide viewing angles, is increased with the addition of the quantum dot film by more than 30 percent compared with conventional LCD/LED TVs.
LG's 4K ULTRA HD TVs with quantum dot technology will employ technology designed with the environment in mind as they contain no cadmium or any other toxic heavy metals.
"Quantum dot's vibrant and vivid color reproduction capabilities brings LG's LCD TVs to the next level when it comes to picture quality," said In-kyu Lee, senior vice president and head of the TV and monitor division at the LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company. "The addition of ULTRA HD TV with quantum dot technology to our TV lineup, positioned under our award-winning OLED TVs, further establishes LG as a leading provider of the most diverse and innovative TV display technologies in the industry."
Visitors to LG's booth at CES 2015 (Las Vegas Convention Center, Central Hall #8204) from Jan. 6-9 will have the opportunity to see LG's stunning 4K ULTRA HD TVs with their own eyes.

Foscam Presents Mini Clock Radios with Powerful Security Functions
HOUSTON, Dec. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Foscam presents 2 all-in-one fully functional clock radios both with built-in hidden video camera and on-board DVR.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141215/164486
"Many customers want to keep a discreet eye on those caring for aging parents, children, babies and pets as well as troubled teens or newly employed household workers.

All are fans of Foscam's mini clock radios with hidden security," says Chase Rhymes, Foscam COO.
Behind its inconspicuous appearance, both the FHC51 & FHC52 clock radios have robust security functions like high quality color video recording (DVR, 640 x 480r), night vision up to 10ft and webcam functionality. An easy to use "Plug & Play" interface that allows video playback viewing via the built in LCD screen or playback can be seen by connecting to a PC. Both models support up to 32GB SD Card and include long record mode: 24hrs of video uses approximately 1GB of storage. Loop setting can automatically overwrite old recordings when the memory card is full. Time and date video stamp and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (records 3-8 hours) plus DC power supply are included. The FHC52 clock radio adds motion detection.
Rich entertainment features such as a video and audio player are an added bonus and further act to disguise the camera, whose hidden security menu is accessed through a secret button combination. The digital clock radio includes FM/MP3/MP4 playback through built-in speakers. Specially priced at $79.99 FHC51 and $89.99 FHC52 and includes 1 Year Domestic Warranty.

Huawei Honor 6 Plus Competes with iPhone 6 Plus

Huawei Honor 6 Plus Competes with iPhone 6 Plus
NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei launched its TV commercial for the new Honor 6 Plus smartphone in New York's Times Square on 11th Dec. Honor 6 Plus is the annual flagship model that belongs to the Honor clan and will be launched on 16th Dec. The slogan of this TVC is "Not Just Bigger", which was believed as signal of challenge to the iPhone 6 Plus' "Bigger than bigger". Before this, Huawei declared that Honor 6 Plus would be the last and ultimate model in the smartphone industry in 2014. This was the first media exposure of Huawei Honor in the U.S., which means Huawei Honor may explore its market in North America.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141215/164367
As the most attractive flagship model in the end of 2014, Honor 6 plus grabs industry insiders' attention because of its amazing mobile shoot photo samples and its extremely creative pay-respects-to-science posters exposed by Huawei itself. Although the product configuration has not been declared, the performance of the mobile shoot is probably the secret weapon of the Honor 6 Plus, which could be compared with SLR cameras, especially in extra aperture, HDR and night shots. Those photo samples also indicate that the performance of Honor 6 plus is far more beyond those first class flagship competitors such as iPhone 6 Plus, Galaxy Note4 and S5.
Although Huawei Honor initiates its business in 2014, they have achieved enormous success in this industry. According to the statement of Xiaoyun Zhang, the CMO of Huawei Honor, this brand has covered over 57 countries of the global market in the past six months, and some well-sold models such as Honor 3C, Honor 6, were ranked as best sellers in France and UK. Especially, Honor 6 which won the best smartphone of Amazon's European branch sites, e.g., France, UK, German and so on. On the basis of great performance in European market, the U.S. market will probably be the next strategic target of Huawei Honor, which was inferred by the launching of new model's TVC, the Honor 6 Plus, in Times Square in New York.
The slogan, "Not Just Bigger", is obviously a challenge to iPhone 6 Plus, which implies desired new functions rather than "Bigger".
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141215/164366
Honor 6 Plus will be launched on 16th Dec. in Beijing, statement of Huawei honor, and other new products will be launched at the same time, which include Honor TV Box, "From the future's" Honor 4X , etc. The free appointment of Honor 4X has already initiated on VMALL.com, JD.com, Tmall.com, and the product configuration and price will be revealed in the day of launching. No doubt, Honor 6 Plus will be the leading model in the launching, and the back-story of exposure in New York's Times Square may be revealed at that time.

The slogan of this TVC is "Not Just Bigger", which was believed as signal of challenge to the iPhone 6 Plus' "Bigger than bigger". Before this, Huawei declared that Honor 6 Plus would be the last and ultimate model in the smartphone industry in 2014. This was the first media exposure of Huawei Honor in the U.S., which means Huawei Honor may explore its market in North America.

As the most attractive flagship model in the end of 2014, Honor 6 plus grabs industry insiders' attention because of its amazing mobile shoot photo samples and its extremely creative pay-respects-to-science posters exposed by Huawei itself. Although the product configuration has not been declared, the performance of the mobile shoot is probably the secret weapon of the Honor 6 Plus, which could be compared with SLR cameras, especially in extra aperture, HDR and night shots. Those photo samples also indicate that the performance of Honor 6 plus is far more beyond those first class flagship competitors such as iPhone 6 Plus, Galaxy Note4 and S5.
Although Huawei Honor initiates its business in 2014, they have achieved enormous success in this industry. According to the statement of Xiaoyun Zhang, the CMO of Huawei Honor, this brand has covered over 57 countries of the global market in the past six months, and some well-sold models such as Honor 3C, Honor 6, were ranked as best sellers in France and UK. Especially, Honor 6 which won the best smartphone of Amazon's European branch sites, e.g., France, UK, German and so on. On the basis of great performance in European market, the U.S. market will probably be the next strategic target of Huawei Honor, which was inferred by the launching of new model's TVC, the Honor 6 Plus, in Times Square in New York.
The slogan, "Not Just Bigger", is obviously a challenge to iPhone 6 Plus, which implies desired new functions rather than "Bigger".

Honor 6 Plus will be launched on 16th Dec. in Beijing, statement of Huawei honor, and other new products will be launched at the same time, which include Honor TV Box, "From the future's" Honor 4X , etc. The free appointment of Honor 4X has already initiated on VMALL.com, JD.com, Tmall.com, and the product configuration and price will be revealed in the day of launching. No doubt, Honor 6 Plus will be the leading model in the launching, and the back-story of exposure in New York's Times Square may be revealed at that time.

Hikvision Introduces HD-TVI Technology with Its Turbo HD Product Line

Posted on December 15, 2014 at 9:21:01 AM
Hikvision Introduces HD-TVI Technology with Its Turbo HD Product Line
CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., Dec. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Hikvision® USA, the North American leader in cutting edge, multiple award-winning video surveillance solutions and products, is proud to announce the launch of Turbo HD, a line of cameras and recorders that utilizes High Definition Transport Video Interface (HD-TVI) technology. This revolutionary technology allows users to send uncompressed, high-resolution video over coaxial cable. The Turbo HD product family is comprised of full HD cameras and DVRs that offer seamless compatibility with multiple video formats, from standard definition analog to HD-TVI to megapixel IP. Other benefits of HD-TVI include absence of video delay in live viewing, bi-directional signaling, and highly efficient storage, adding up to an incredible breakthrough in the evolution of analog transmission.
Where previous HD video over coax methods were limited by cable type and distance, reliability, lack of bi-directional communications, and total system cost, Turbo HD addresses these challenges effortlessly. Supporting up to 1080p resolution at distances over 1500 feet, the HD-TVI signal is especially immune to electromagnetic interference. Live video can be viewed in high resolution with zero latency because the video stream is uncompressed. Bi-directional signaling allows for PTZ control and setting camera functions remotely.
Turbo HD technology is ideal for migration from standard definition to high definition, maximizing return on investment because existing infrastructure doesn't need to be replaced. Turbo HD cameras such as the 2CE56D5T-VFIT3 1080p EXIR Varifocal Turret and the DS-2CE16C5T-IT1 720p EXIR Fixed Lens Bullet provide high-definition megapixel video that installs as easily as standard analog CCTV cameras.
"I absolutely have not had a single issue installing Turbo HD," proclaimed Peter Saar, who has been President of Safeside Security in Woodland, CA for 31 years. "I've installed Turbo HD in a retirement home, several warehouses, and in a retail chain of five drive-through coffee shops. I've got a lot of exciting projects ahead, including a hardware store chain and a credit union with several branches. I can go back to my customers who have poorly-performing analog systems--some of whom may not have the budget to upgrade to IP--and offer Turbo HD as the answer to all their problems. Once they see the high performance of Turbo, they're hooked," he added. "The level of detail that can be captured now could never happen on an obsolete analog system: you can make out license plates now. The smart search feature is another key selling point, as is the incredible 'tribrid' technology."
"Tribrid" DVRs are hybrid recorders that make up another key component of Turbo HD. They can save data from standard definition analog cameras, IP cameras, and HD-TVI cameras simultaneously. Aside from the innovative technology, the open HD-TVI platform is another remarkable characteristic of Turbo HD.
"We want to ensure that integrators and end-users are not hindered by proprietary solutions doled out by individual manufacturers," explained Hiro Kozato, President of Techpoint, the San Jose, CA based developer of the HD-TVI technology. "We believe the security industry will benefit the most from an open standard, and we're pleased that Hikvision is leading the way with Turbo HD."
"Hikvision is committed to manufacturing highly scalable, versatile products that easily adapt to the ever-changing security landscape. We are the largest video surveillance manufacturer in the world using HD-TVI," remarked Bob Germain, Senior Product Leader of Hikvision USA. "While it's clear that IP will continue to lead the video surveillance market in terms of technological benefits, we understand that it's not always a realistic option for our customers. Turbo HD bridges the technology gap by providing a high-quality HD option to for those who want to maximize their existing infrastructure."

In Endless Pursuit of Ultimate Satisfaction for Adult Smokers, blu eCigs Launches Next Generation E-Cigarette - blu PLUS+

In Endless Pursuit of Ultimate Satisfaction for Adult Smokers, blu eCigs Launches Next Generation E-Cigarette - blu PLUS+
Following Rapid Sellout of Limited Release to Existing Customers, blu PLUS+ Rechargeable Kit Arrives in Retailers Nationwide
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --In its continual chase to deliver true satisfaction to adult smokers, blu eCigs has launched the blu PLUS+(TM), now available at retailers nationwide. Just as the name suggests, the new rechargeable kit includes all of the aspects that have established blu eCigs as the market leader, with added improvements to increase user pleasure, not complexity.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141211/163966
"We consider satisfaction of the adult smoker as our ultimate scorecard, and the determining factor for any and all of the improvements to our product line," said Jason Healy, blu eCigs Founder and President. "Customer feedback has always been a driving force for the way we innovate at blu. Sure we have access to great technology, but it only really matters when you apply it in the right way - and the gains in product performance equal the gains in user enjoyment. We're always chasing that but feel we've achieved a great balance in blu PLUS+."
In blu's mission of achieving smokers' satisfaction with the PLUS+, the new blu PLUS+ Tank(TM) system has emerged as the product line's true hero. Following a limited pre-launch in Fall 2014, blu PLUS+ quickly sold out - and had customers raving about overall performance and improvement. A large amount of this praise has been attributed to the newly introduced blu PLUS+ Tanks, which hold the e-liquid containing the flavor and nicotine in an entirely new system for blu.
The new blu PLUS+ Tanks have been re-designed to hold more e-juice than the original cartridges and re-engineered to use all of the e-liquid within the cartridge. Doing so has provided for enhanced nicotine delivery and more consistent, enjoyable vapor production. The Tanks remain pre-filled to match the brand's convenience factor and are available in customers' favorite flavors, including Classic Tobacco, Magnificent Menthol, Vivid Vanilla and Cherry Crush - with more to be introduced in 2015.
Improvement and upgrades were not just reserved for the Tank. The PLUS+ also received upgrades with its battery, which not only increased in size, but also lasts longer and offers improved functionality and efficiency when paired with the Tank technology. As always with blu, aesthetics were important, and the brand designed the PLUS+ Pack with a rubberized smooth matte black finish to provide premium quality that not only has a sleek look that also feels great in a user's hand.
"If we can't satisfy the adult smoker with seamless technology and simplicity of use, then we aren't doing our job," Healy said. "If the customer is not feeling satisfied with the draw and flavor, then what good is a long battery life? In the case of blu PLUS+, our confidence in delivering a great overall user experience was echoed by the terrific customer feedback in our early release - and we're excited to now bring the product to retail shelves nationwide."

Turtle Beach Introduces New Xbox One Headset Audio Controllers

Turtle Beach Introduces New Xbox One Headset Audio Controllers
Superhuman Hearing and Mic Monitoring Featured in New Headset Audio Controllers for the Xbox One
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Turtle Beach, the leading audio brand in the video games industry, today announced that Superhuman Hearing and Mic Monitoring will be featured in two new officially licensed headset audio controllers for the Xbox One. The Ear Force Headset Audio Controller and Ear Force Headset Audio Controller Plus are designed to make a wide range of Turtle Beach headsets compatible with the Xbox One. Turtle Beach is the gaming audio brand of Turtle Beach Corporation (NASDAQ: HEAR).
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141215/164339LOGO
Superhuman Hearing provides a competitive advantage in multiplayer gaming by making soft sounds that are typically hard to hear louder, allowing players to pinpoint quiet, but important audio cues. Mic Monitoring feeds the audio from the microphone back into the headset so players can hear their own voice at a natural level and don't yell into the microphone.
"Superhuman Hearing is a game changer, giving players a competitive edge in certain game scenarios" said Juergen Stark, Chief Executive Officer at Turtle Beach Corporation. "And Mic Monitoring is a critical feature to multiplayer gaming enthusiasts."
The Headset Audio Controllers are included with new models of Turtle Beach officially licensed Xbox One gaming headsets, including the XO ONE and XO SEVEN Pro. They will also be sold as standalone products for owners of Turtle Beach Xbox 360 headsets that want Xbox One compatibility and Turtle Beach Xbox One headset owners that want the new, improved features. Both Headset Audio Controllers are now available for pre-order on TurtleBeach.com.
The Ear Force Headset Audio Controller introduces variable mic monitoring, a feature that feeds the audio of someone talking into the microphone back into the headset so their voice sounds normal. Without mic monitoring, individuals tend to yell into the mic because they cannot hear their own voice. The Headset Audio Controller connects directly to the Microsoft Xbox One Wireless Controller, and headsets connect to the Headset Audio Controller via a 3.5mm audio jack. The Headset Audio Controller also puts mic mute, multi-step bass boost, and master volume, game and chat volume mix controls right at your fingertips. The Headset Audio Controller is included with the XO ONE gaming headset and is also available for purchase as a standalone item at TurtleBeach.com for USD $29.95.
The Ear Force Headset Audio ControllerPlus has all of the features of the regular audio controller, plus Superhuman Hearing. With the touch of a single button, Superhuman Hearing provides a competitive advantage in multiplayer gaming by making soft sounds that are typically hard to hear louder, allowing players to pinpoint quiet audio cues like enemy footsteps and weapon reloads. The Headset Audio Controller Plus also has selectable game presets to customize your sound (Natural Sound, Bass Boost, Bass and Treble Boost, and Voice Enhancer) and environmental mic presets you can set based on room noise levels (Quiet, Normal, and Loud rooms). The Headset Audio Controller Plus is included with the new XO SEVEN Pro gaming headset and is available for purchase as a standalone item at TurtleBeach.com for USD $39.95.
For customers who have purchased an officially licensed XO FOUR, XO SEVEN or Titanfall Atlas, Turtle Beach is offering a discount on the new Headset Audio Controllers through an upgrade program. To qualify for the program customers must register their headset at http://www.turtlebeach.com/upgrade.
