365 Data Centers Introduces Compact Cabinets with a Compact Price

Cost-effective alternative to a full-sized cabinet is ideal for smaller deployments, hybrid cloud applications and "first time" colocation customers

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Oct. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 365 Data Centers, one of the top U.S. colocation providers by market presence, today announced the availability of Compact Cabinets across its footprint of 17 U.S. data centers. Compact Cabinets provide a cost-effective entry point for businesses looking to get started with colocation and for existing customers who want to incrementally expand or reduce their data center deployments. The new offering continues the company's mission to make colocation more accessible, delivering increased choice and flexibility by providing another option for clients seeking the security and reliability benefits of local data center colocation in a hybrid cloud environment.

Compact Cabinets, about one-third the size of standard cabinets, are an ideal option for small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs), systems integrators, and managed service providers (MSPs) that do not need a full-sized cabinet. In September of this year, 365 Data Centers introduced 365 Cloud Storage, an on-demand cloud storage-as-a-service available locally in all of its data centers. Customers that use 365's cloud storage reduce their need for colocation space by offloading storage infrastructure management to 365. 365 Data Centers also offers standard cabinets and custom cages or suites for clients who need them.

365's Compact Cabinets, starting at $425 per month, include features that make it easy to get started in colocation:

    --  One-third size locking cabinet (14 RU x 24" x 36")
    --  1Mbps of Internet service with burstable pricing options
    --  One cross connect
    --  Primary AC power with 120 volts x 15 amps
    --  100% service availability SLA.
"SMBs, integrators and MSPs need both dedicated colocation and cloud services," said Keao Caindec, CMO, 365 Data Centers. "Our Compact Cabinets are a cost-effective alternative for businesses that are not ready to put their mission-critical applications in the public cloud. They need a hybrid environment. Our Compact Cabinets and 365 Cloud Storage are a perfect combination for businesses that want an easier and more cost effective way to improve the security and performance of their IT systems."

365 Data Centers' facilities are HIPAA and SSAE 16 compliant and feature power, cooling, connectivity and security 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and 365 days per year with multiple carrier options and superior uptime availability.

Compact Cabinets are available now in all 17 U.S. markets. To learn more about Compact Cabinets and 365's offerings, visit 365datacenters.com.

NSFOCUS Unveils Robust Anti-DDoS Solution for Hosting Service Providers, Date Centers and MSSPs

SYDNEY, Oct. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Rapid bandwidth expansion of network infrastructure, combined with significant innovations in hardware technology capabilities, have enabled ever more powerful server processing performance – and more invasive Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack tactics and methods. NSFOCUS, Inc. today announced the launch of the ADS 8000 series, an active DDoS attack mitigation appliance that defends against both known and unknown attacks and is specifically designed for hosting service providers, Internet data centers (IDCs), telecom carriers and managed security service providers (MSSPs).

Expanding threat vectors:

* Volumetric, amplification and application layer attacks: DDoS attack tactics and tools have become more instrumental and diversified while multi-vector attacks have recently emerged. DNS and NTP amplification attacks pose grave threats to Internet commerce, while application-layer attacks are one of the leading causes of modern security threats and continue to grow exponentially.   * High-value targets: IDCs, hosting service providers and MSSPs provide pools of opportunity for these attacks, given the massive websites and other diversified applications that they host, such as online gaming and e-commerce. An emerging strategy is to incorporate DDoS appliances into the network, not only to protect brand reputation but also to provide end users with a security-as-a-service product that can be added to existing go-to-market strategies, increasing business benefits and ROI. ADS 8000 Series key benefits include:

* Best-in-class protection performance: Supports up to 40Gbps of mitigation capacity with a single unit and provides hundreds of Gbps of larger scalable mitigation capacity via simple cluster deployment.   * Precise mitigation and up-to-the-minute protection: Optimizes DDoS behavior statistics, reputation mechanisms and mitigation algorithms targeted at new botnet-based DDoS attacks, providing a more granular and precise DDoS mitigation. Continuous software upgrades defend against newly discovered threats and provide integrated protection for both software and hardware. Coupled with the support of NSFOCUS's 24/7 rapid-response security teams, providers are able to deliver continuous service availability to end-users.  * Ease of management: Single-pane-of-glass, centralized management device console enhances the mitigation scalability for either a single cluster at a single point or multi-clusters deployed cross-regionally around the world. The anti-DDoS solution automatically adjusts defense levels and alert policies to match the variations and business characteristics of individual companies and their security operations teams, saving time and money. Yonggang Han, chief operating officer of global business, NSFOCUS, said:"In selecting an IDC or MSSP, a customer's primary concerns are about security, data protection and uninterrupted service. Customers demand that illegal access be blocked and that there be no interruption of legitimate traffic to their sites. NSFOCUS's optimized hardware and software designs apply the behavioral statistics and reputation mechanisms to defense against more sophisticated DDoS attacks, enabling a secure ecosystem for hosting providers, IDCs and MSSPs."

Doppler Labs Introduces DUBS Acoustic Filters in Europe

-- Advanced Tech Earplugs Protect Your Hearing from Noise and Loud Environments without Sacrificing Sound Fidelity, Style or Comfort

NEW YORK and AMSTERDAM, Oct. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Doppler Labs today announced that it will introduce DUBS Acoustic filters in Europe.  After the success of the U.S. launch of the DUBS last month at the Global Citizen Festival in New York, the DUBS' introduction in Europe will coincide with the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) where internationally renowned and award-winning composer Hans Zimmer will be appearing in an in-depth keynote Q&A session. ADE is the world's biggest club festival, which takes place in 100 of the best venues in Amsterdam from 15 October through 19 October.

Mr. Zimmer, who is also an investor in and advisor to Doppler Labs, said, "We've waited a long time for a high performance earplug that captures music the way it's meant to be heard and meets the expectation of audiophiles. The DUBS are unlike any hearing protection I have ever used. The experience and sound quality is simply better."

Promo teams for DUBS Acoustic Filters will be onsite at a variety of events throughout ADE. Highlights include activations at performances by Nicky Romero, Fedde Le Grand and Pete Tong.

DUBS Acoustic Filters are advanced tech earplugs engineered for a quality audio experience.  The DUBS - which were designed to be fashion-forward and aesthetically pleasing - use mechanical filters comprised of 17 individual parts to reduce volume and protect your ears without sacrificing sound fidelity, style or comfort.

"Even with all of the recent advancements in tech and design, earplugs have never evolved: they still muffle sound, look like unstylish medical products and are uncomfortable," said Noah Kraft, Co-founder and CEO of Doppler Labs. "Now with the DUBS, you can protect your ears without sacrificing sound fidelity, style or comfort. You no longer have to choose between hearing protection and a quality audio experience. Instead you can enjoy the music and go louder longer."

Hearing loss is becoming an epidemic that, contrary to common perception, affects all age groups: sixteen percent of the European population, i.e. 71 million people, suffers from hearing loss. Exposure to loud sounds - from live music and sports stadiums to subway trains and airplanes - can lead to permanent hearing damage, known as Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). The DUBS are the first design-forward, advanced tech solution to this growing problem.

Product Features:

    --  Quality Sound: The DUBS use dynamic attenuation to protect your ears
        while preserving sound fidelity.
    --  Hearing Protection: The DUBS reduce audio levels by an average of 12 dB,
        providing protection from loud noise and environments.
    --  Advanced Technology: The compact size of the DUBS mask the complexity of
        their 17 individual parts made of premium materials like stainless
        steel, ABS, polymer foams and silicone.
    --  Elegant Design: The DUBS have a discrete, minimalist form factor that
        transforms a product originally designed for construction sites into a
        fashion accessory.
    --  Durable & Easily Portable: With a small, protective case, DUBS safely
        fit into a pocket, clutch or jacket. The DUBS are reusable, built to
        last for countless adventures and nights out.
On 20 October, the DUBS will be available for online preorder at http://www.getDUBS.com for customers in Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, France, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Italy and the Netherlands. Orders will begin shipping in early December when the DUBS will also begin appearing in various retail outlets in Europe through Doppler Labs' European distributor, Coopertrade. The DUBS are available in four colors, including teal, blue, pink and white, and fit most adults over the age of 16.

The DUBS are the first product from Doppler Labs, a technology company founded by Noah Kraft, Fritz Lanman, former Microsoft executive and angel investor in Square and Pinterest, and Dan Wiggins, former SONOS transducer engineer. Doppler Labs is backed by a litany of top tech and media investors and is focused on creating a robust product pipeline of "hearables" - wearable technology designed to optimize the way you hear the world.

About Doppler Labs
Doppler Labs is a technology company with a primary focus on "hearables": wearable technology for the ears. Founded in 2013 by industry leaders in the creative, tech and business worlds, Doppler Labs' mission is to optimize the way you hear the world.

Wirepas Introduces the First Fully Automatic and Distributed Wireless Multi-Hop Mesh IoT Network in the Market

TAMPERE, Finland, October 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    The Internet of Things (IoT) is riding high on top of the hype cycle. At Wirepas, a
disruptive new foundation for wireless mesh networks has been created and perfected.
Wirepas is proud to launch Pino[TM]-the first fully automatic and distributed Multi-Hop
Mesh IoT network in the market for Machine to Machine (M2M) and Wireless Sensor Network
(WSN) solutions.

    (Logo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20141014/710133 )

    The Wirepas Pino protocol stack is simply smarter: the network itself takes on tasks
that are much more challenging, if not impossible, to optimize centrally by a single
coordinator. With Pino, all network nodes can act independently and more efficiently.
External or central control simply cannot compete.

    "There are several application-specific initiatives out there to improve IoT
platforms' scalability, robustness and ease of use. They work on solving problems that
originate from the lower protocol stack layers. We turned things around, and created a
completely new foundation from the bottom up. Our customers will be able to reduce their
life-time costs remarkably," says Teppo Hemiä, Wirepas CEO.

    Ville Kaseva, Wirepas CTO, explains the breakthrough: "Instead of using existing
protocols, we started with a clean slate. We took the requirements of low power mesh
networks, and analyzed which design choices at which protocol stack layers give the best
performance for the stack as a whole."

    Pino's design follows high-level guidelines such as keeping all stack functionality
fully autonomous, local decision making distributed to the network, and locally
synchronous operation. The wireless medium is used efficiently in both time and frequency
domain. These characteristics result in exceptional scalability, reliability, robustness,
and energy-efficiency. Mr. Kaseva is confident: "We see Pino as the enabler platform for
IoT devices."

    Pino is a true zero configuration network - installations, extensions, and maintenance
are all simple. Just power up the nodes and gateways and everything works, reliably
adapting to the environmental conditions. Due to unlimited scalability, both densely
populated networks and networks covering large geographical areas can be realized. All
network nodes, independent of the role, achieve battery-operated lifetime in the order of
years, even the routers.

    The Pino protocol stack is completely hardware independent, finalizing the match to a
wide range of applications. Pino can use any open market 2.4 GHz and Sub-GHz chipsets.
This enables energy efficient indoor networks as well as city-wide networks with the use
of long range outdoor radios. Pino makes sure that the underlying hardware is always used
as efficiently as possible.

    An extensive support tool package with a web tool for real-time network monitoring is
included.

    Wirepas will be presenting its technology during European Utility Week in Amsterdam in
November. "We do have a few things up our sleeves by the EUW. You may want to watch our
moves," winks CEO Teppo Hemiä.

First-ever Global 3D Video-on-Demand Platform Is Launched: Direct Content Monetization Solves 3D Industry's Distribution Problems

NEW YORK, Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 3doo, Inc. today announced the launch of its global 3D Video-on-Demand (VoD) platform, a new distribution system for 3D content owners and producers - from independent artists to major studios - to directly market and monetize their media content to end users viewing 65 million 3D TVs in 180 countries.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141013/151816

3doo's intuitive, fully-automated VoD platform solves the 3D industry's long-standing challenges of lack of distribution infrastructure (for 3D content producers), lack of sufficient content (for 3D device manufacturers), and lack of easy access (for 3D end users), generating opportunities for significant new revenue streams through both native 3D content as well as the conversion of 2D content to 3D.

"3doo's global VoD platform utterly transforms the worldwide distribution of 3D content," said 3doo President Ingo Nadler. "The global 3D industry has long awaited a unified marketplace where 3D filmmakers and content owners control their work, and 3D TV viewers can enjoy thrilling content in the comfort of their living rooms nearly everywhere in the world."

Using the 3doo VoD platform, 3D content owners determine the price per viewing as well as the markets in which content is to be distributed, and receive the majority of net VoD revenues after deduction of streaming & transaction costs and applicable taxes. The VoD platform is non-exclusive and 3doo does not license content, so that content owners always control and manage worldwide content distribution through a 3doo account.

"While enabling millions of 3D TV viewers worldwide to rent or purchase 3D content, 3doo is also positioning for the anticipated breakthrough in several years of glasses-free 3D viewing experiences on Smart TVs and mobile devices, as well as for 3D social media and video gaming," Nadler added.

The VoD platform is available using 3doo's "Player App," available for free, either pre-installed or downloadable, on 65 million 3D-enabled Samsung, LG and Panasonic Smart TVs worldwide, to view a growing library of hundreds of hours of 3D entertainment and documentary titles. To view paid VoD content, viewers will require only an account with PayPal, which they link to their 3doo account.

3doo's 3D video portfolio, to eventually include Ultra HD content, is projected to include major Hollywood, Bollywood and Asian studio content, and sports, theatrical productions, television series and live events.

3doo users have already enjoyed more than 4 million free 3D video viewings on more than 650,000 Smart 3D TVs in 180 countries - and 3doo has yet to launch its global marketing campaign.

About 3doo

3doo, Inc., headquartered in New York with engineering operations in Cologne, Germany, is transforming the global distribution of media content by quickly and easily delivering the world of 3D, and eventually Ultra HD, to millions of Smart TV viewers.

In 2013, 3doo's Player App, which dynamically generates channels and allows producers to distribute 3D content directly into Smart TVs, was awarded as a "Best 3D Product" by the International 3D & Advanced Imaging Society for its "innovation and user-friendly qualities."

3doo offers geo-targeted advertising with highly effective 3D video and display advertising. Producers and distributors interested in marketing and subsequently monetizing their 3D content to millions of 3D TV viewers around the globe can sign up at no charge at http://www.3doo.com.

3doo has already begun to develop app architecture for Ultra HD Smart TVs, 3D mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, and for new video gaming, personal 3D content and social networking platforms.

VideoBlocks Launches 'Just Add Audio', The Soundtrack App For Your Life

iOS App Provides Free, Legal Music to Transform Ordinary Photos and Video into Digital Stories

RESTON, Va., Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- VideoBlocks, the first subscription-based provider of unlimited royalty-free stock video, today announced the launch of iOS app, Just Add Audio. Available as a free download, Just Add Audio taps into the company's large collection of licensed music tracks and allows users to quickly turn a string of photos and video into digital stories worth sharing.

"Photos and videos are powerful mediums, but they're even better when you add quality music," said Joel Holland, Founder and CEO of VideoBlocks. "Until now, it's been difficult to get your hands on free, legal music to use without restriction for the creation of engaging content on your mobile device. We've made this process drop dead simple by providing instant access to over 1200 free professional-grade tracks. So whether you've got videos from a weekend wedding, or photos from an overseas trip, it takes less than 30 seconds to turn them into powerful digital stories and share with friends."

With a beautiful interface and simple 3-step experience, Just Add Audio is the easiest way to add legal music from professional artists to your photo and video collections. Once photos or video are selected, users can choose songs from 8 moods to match the subject of collection. Finished products can then be shared with friends and followers via email or social media.

Holland added that providing legal music was a win-win for users and creators: "With illegal music, the creators lose because they aren't being fairly compensated for their work; the customers lose because their stories are in danger of being pulled down from social networks, or worse, can end in law suits. With our model, the creators have been paid for their music, and customers now have the ability to layer it into their own life stories without fear of running afoul of tricky rights management and licensing."

The music for Just Add Audio is provided by AudioBlocks, the only subscription service to offer unlimited downloads of over 100,000 high-quality, royalty-free music tracks, sound effects and loops. A resource for professional and hobbyist content creators alike, AudioBlocks, along with sister sites VideoBlocks and GraphicStock, have achieved more than 30 million downloads, growing at over 1 million per month.

About VideoBlocks
VideoBlocks is a profitable, venture-backed stock media company recently recognized by Inc. Magazine as the fourth fastest growing media company in the United States. Together with its sister sites GraphicStock and AudioBlocks, VideoBlocks empowers over 100,000 customers to enhance their creative projects, ranging from professional production studios like NBC, to pro-sumers and enthusiasts like colleges, churches and video editing hobbyists. These users download over 1,000,000 video and audio clips each month. Founder and CEO Joel Holland has been named one of the "Top 25 Entrepreneurs Under 25" by BusinessWeek Magazine, "Young Entrepreneur of the Year" by the United States Small Business Administration, "Entrepreneur of the Year" by Ernst and Young for the Greater Washington DC Region, and made Inc. Magazine's prestigious "30 Under 30" list in 2013. The company is based in Reston, Virginia.

    The Wirepas Pino protocol stack is simply smarter: the network itself takes on tasks
that are much more challenging, if not impossible, to optimize centrally by a single
coordinator. With Pino, all network nodes can act independently and more efficiently.
External or central control simply cannot compete.

    "There are several application-specific initiatives out there to improve IoT
platforms' scalability, robustness and ease of use. They work on solving problems that
originate from the lower protocol stack layers. We turned things around, and created a
completely new foundation from the bottom up. Our customers will be able to reduce their
life-time costs remarkably," says Teppo Hemia, Wirepas CEO.

    Ville Kaseva, Wirepas CTO, explains the breakthrough: "Instead of using existing
protocols, we started with a clean slate. We took the requirements of low power mesh
networks, and analyzed which design choices at which protocol stack layers give the best
performance for the stack as a whole."

    Pino's design follows high-level guidelines such as keeping all stack functionality
fully autonomous, local decision making distributed to the network, and locally
synchronous operation. The wireless medium is used efficiently in both time and frequency
domain. These characteristics result in exceptional scalability, reliability, robustness,
and energy-efficiency. Mr. Kaseva is confident: "We see Pino as the enabler platform for
IoT devices."

    Pino is a true zero configuration network - installations, extensions, and maintenance
are all simple. Just power up the nodes and gateways and everything works, reliably
adapting to the environmental conditions. Due to unlimited scalability, both densely
populated networks and networks covering large geographical areas can be realized. All
network nodes, independent of the role, achieve battery-operated lifetime in the order of
years, even the routers.

    The Pino protocol stack is completely hardware independent, finalizing the match to a
wide range of applications. Pino can use any open market 2.4 GHz and Sub-GHz chipsets.
This enables energy efficient indoor networks as well as city-wide networks with the use
of long range outdoor radios. Pino makes sure that the underlying hardware is always used
as efficiently as possible.

    An extensive support tool package with a web tool for real-time network monitoring is
included.

    Wirepas will be presenting its technology during European Utility Week in Amsterdam in
November. "We do have a few things up our sleeves by the EUW. You may want to watch our
moves," winks CEO Teppo Hemia.

Peregrine Semiconductor Enables a Dual-Band Architecture for DOCSIS 3.1 Devices

The UltraCMOS® PE42722 RF Switch Allows Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) Vendors to Future Proof Their Devices To Meet the Strict Linearity Requirements of the DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Industry Standard

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Peregrine Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: PSMI), founder of RF SOI (silicon on insulator) and pioneer of advanced RF solutions, announces the UltraCMOS® PE42722, a high-linearity RF switch that enables a dual upstream/downstream band architecture in cable customer premises equipment (CPE) devices. By using a dual-band architecture, multi-service operators (MSOs) have the flexibility to offer their customers new and expanded services while CPEs can comply with the new DOCSIS 3.1 cable industry standard.  MSOs also benefit from the switch supporting both DOCSIS 3.0 and 3.1, allowing for a simple and cost-effective transition to DOCSIS 3.1.

CPE devices, such as set-top boxes, cable modems and home gateways, have previously supported only one upstream and downstream band at a time. Until now, no switch has met the linearity requirements necessary to support a dual-band architecture. When upgrading to a different high-speed service plan, the customer currently is faced with the inconvenience of physically changing the CPE device to get the hardware necessary to support the higher upstream and downstream band requirements. The introduction of the PE42722 high-linearity switch marks the first time that dual upstream/downstream bands can reside in the same CPE device. Once CPE devices are equipped with the PE42722 switch, the exchanging of hardware will no longer be necessary.

"The PE42722 is a game changer for the cable industry," says Kinana Hussain, Peregrine's senior marketing manager. "By enabling a dual-band architecture, customers will be able to make a simple phone call to their cable service provider, who can then, 'with the flip of a switch', upgrade their customer's high-speed data service plan. The added bonus of also complying with the DOCSIS 3.1 standard makes this switch a must-have for all next-generation CPE devices."

An additional benefit of the PE42722 high-linearity switch is its compliance with the DOCSIS 3.0 and 3.1 cable standards. The cable industry faces the challenge of supporting the customer's increasing demand for more high-speed home data. In order to meet this rise in data consumption, the industry announced the DOCSIS 3.1 standard in Oct. 2013. These new DOCSIS 3.1 requirements put enormous pressure on the entire cable industry eco system, from CPE devices to the infrastructure. To ease the infrastructure transition to the higher speeds and eliminate the need to replace the CPE, these devices must incorporate the flexibility to accommodate multiple upstream/downstream frequency band definitions. To create a dual-band architecture, a switch must be placed directly at the cable modem (CM) connector before the filters and needs to comply with the stringent DOCSIS 3.1 CM spurious emissions requirements of -50 dBmV. Such a low spurious level requires the switch harmonic performance to be better than -115 dBc. The PE42722 is the only RF switch available today that can achieve these high harmonic requirements. 

Features, Packaging, Pricing and Availability
Covering a frequency range of 5-1,794 MHz, the PE42722 readily supports an average input power greater than 65 dBmV. The switch's low insertion loss (0.3 dB at 1218 MHz) preserves noise figure and receiver sensitivity and achieves superior signal quality, along with providing high isolation of 40 dB at 612 MHz. The PE42722 also features a low current consumption of 130 µA, standard +1.8V and +3.3V logic support, a wide voltage supply range from 2.3 to 5.5V, and 1.5 kV ESD protection on all pins.

Offered in a 32-lead 5 mm x 5 mm QFN package, volume-production parts, samples and evaluation kits are available now. For 10K-quantity orders, each PE42722 switch is $3.38. To learn more, please visit the PE42722 press kit.

TrackingPoint(TM) Introduces ShotGlass(TM), The First Wearable Tech For Hunting and Shooting

ShotGlass(TM), the Google Glass(TM) of hunting and shooting, enhances the precision-guided shooting experience via a built-in camera and high definition video display.

PFLUGERVILLE, Texas, Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- TrackingPoint(TM), creator of the world's first and only Precision-Guided Firearm (PGF) systems, today announces the world's first weapon-integrated digital shooting glasses, ShotGlass(TM). The new digital shooting glasses allow you to routinely make extraordinary shots from around corners, covered positions, over walls and behind trees. ShotGlass(TM) includes a video camera, microphone, and a high-definition video display, that automatically records high definition videos of your hunting and shooting experiences.

"ShotGlass(TM) is similar to Google Glass(TM) but optimized for shooting sports," said TrackingPoint CEO John Lupher.  "The innovative shooting glasses have an aggressive high-tech posture and connect wirelessly to TrackingPoint's Precision-Guided Firearm's. ShotGlass(TM) can even record the excitement of your voice when you make an astonishing shot on a moving trophy at extreme distance."

ShotGlass(TM) has four primary uses:

    1. Shooting around corners.  Shoot from completely protected positions from
       behind trees or around corners when necessary to remain unexposed to the
       target.
    2. Increase situational awareness.  When you are zoomed in on a target with
       your Precision-Guided Firearm, the view in ShotGlass(TM) can remain
       zoomed out. This permits you two unique fields-of-view on the same shot.
    3. Video/Voice Recording.  ShotGlass(TM) can record everything you are
       seeing and saying.  With the same capabilities as a GoPro(TM),
       ShotGlass(TM) videos can download directly to smart devices for sharing
       with friends, family and social media.
    4. Collaborative shooting and mentoring.  Friends or family can wear
       ShotGlass(TM) while others are shooting.  They can see exactly what the
       shooter is seeing and share the same experience.  Fathers can mentor
       children by guiding them to the proper whitetail.  Professional hunters
       can see exactly what target their client is engaging and direct the
       client to the desired target and to the actual desired point-of-impact.
       In battle, a spotter wears ShotGlass(TM) to direct their sniper to the
       desired target in real-time under high battle stress.
ShotGlass(TM) is simple to use. Put them on like any other glasses and get ready to experience high-definition displays showing exactly what the TrackingPoint Precision-Guided Firearm is pointing toward. Now engage your target without actually looking through the Precision-Guided Firearm. You can shoot from a completely covered position without exposing your position. Hit a wild boar at 900 yards from behind a tree with only the PGF and shooting hand exposed. Tag-and-Shoot an entire pack of wild boar without being detected.

"Wearable tech, designed to enhance the shooting and hunting experience, changes the way you experience the sport," said TrackingPoint CEO John Lupher. "ShotGlass(TM) adds an element to hunting and shooting that is beyond belief."

Technical Specifications

    --  Wide Screen WQVGA display (Image appears as if on a 30" HD Display)
    --  High contrast and brightness
    --  Power saving sleep mode
    --  Optical control buttons - control even with hunting gloves on
    --  HD Camera
    --  Speaker and Microphone
Accepting pre-orders now for delivery in March, ShotGlass(TM) is available for $995 to TrackingPoint Precision-Guided Firearm owners. ShotGlass(TM) is free of charge with the purchase of your Precision-Guided Firearm prior to November 30, 2014.  For more information visit http://www.Tracking-Point.com/ShotGlass.

About TrackingPoint

TrackingPoint based in Austin, Texas created the first Precision-Guided Firearm, a revolutionary new shooting system that puts fighter jet lock-and-launch technology in rifles, enabling anyone to make extraordinary shots on moving targets at extreme distances. http://www.tracking-point.com.

EZ Trading Computers Releases New Upgraded Viper X99 and Radical X99 Computers to Meet Trader Demand for Increased Power and Speeds

EZ Trading computers, the leading supplier of super fast and reliable computers for trading, releases upgraded models of their Viper and Radical Trading Computers supplying their customers with the processing speeds necessary for success.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In their continuous effort to provide traders with the ultimate power and speed, EZ Trading Computers is the first ever to release a faster and more powerful computer for trading called "Viper X99" and "Radical X99."

Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20141013/151793

With the new Intel Haswell-E 6 Core i7-5930K, The Viper X99 has averaged between 15% faster speeds (3.7GHz and up to 4.2GHz with Turbo Boost and Proprietary Adjustments) than the Intel i7-4930K. This new model of the Viper line allows day traders to use technology as a tool to continuously achieve successful trades.

The Radical X99 has also seen a significant increase in speed and power. The new design of the X99 model has the Intel 8 core i7-5960X Extreme installed. This powerful processor benchmarks at a whopping 21,000: 280% higher than the minimum benchmark for trading.

"When Intel released these two new processors, we took the opportunity to find every way to create the highest possible speed outputs in our new Viper X99 and Radical X99," said EZ Trading Computer's COO, Russ Hazelcorn who is also known as Eddie Z. "We are always striving to create the best possible computers for trading. Both of these models have the ability to handle the massive amounts of real-time data that the markets generate. Traders face a huge amount of unnecessary risk when trading on an underpowered machine. The biggest issue in doing this is facing slippage. This is when traders enter a trade to buy or sell and the price they get filled at is different from what was expected. Our new X99 models in the Viper and Radical will allow traders of all types to harness the speed and power they need to handle literally hundreds of indicators over multiple time periods without the slightest chance of slippage," explained Eddie Z.

About EZ Trading Computers:
EZ Trading Computers is a leading trading computer hardware company offering a one-stop shop for traders looking for ultimate trading system. The company specializes in super low prices, unique payment plans and extra long product warranties. The company has several programs where traders can actually get their computers for free via rebates.

Teledyne LeCroy Announces DDR 3 / DDR 4 Compliance Analyzer

Low Cost JEDEC Protocol Compliance Analyzer Validation of DDR3 and DDR4 Protocol and Timing Parameters

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MemCon -- Teledyne LeCroy, the worldwide leader in high speed I/O analysis and protocol test solutions, today announced its new Kibra 480 Compliance Analyzer. New DDR4 enabled systems are now available in the market. As these DDR4 enabled systems begin to proliferate, compliance testing becomes increasingly important. DDR4 doubles the speed of its predecessor DDR3, making compliance and validation more challenging. Teledyne LeCroy offers a unique low cost solution for DDR3 and DDR4 protocol compliance test.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20130123/NE46632LOGO

The Kibra 480 Compliance Analyzer provides DDR memory developers, implementers and integrators a cost effective solution to verify and validate that their DDR memory design meets JEDEC compliance parameters. Supporting either DDR3 or DDR4, the Kibra 480 Compliance Analyzer can be set up in minutes and is quick and easy to use. A unique probing technique eliminates the need for time consuming calibration. Immediate feedback on violations allows users to quickly validate that their memory system meets JEDEC timing compliance and also allows rapid identification and elimination of any problem areas. Capturing the Command Address and Control bus, the Kibra 480 Compliance Analyzer can quickly identify timing issues associated with the JEDEC defined speed bins.

The Kibra 480 Compliance Analyzer comes with 4GB of recording memory allowing for long recording capability, and will trigger on any defined violation. JEDEC violations can be loaded based on the defined speed bin of the system under test, or modified by users for custom timing parameters. Over 50 timing and protocol violations are continuously monitored across two (2) DIMMs per channel, four (4) ranks per DIMM and eight (8) banks per rank for DDR3 or four (4) bank groups per rank and four (4) banks per bank group for DDR4. This allows for simultaneous compliance monitoring of over 3200 potential violations across up to 64 banks of memory.

Designed to support a multitude of DIMM options, the Kibra 480 Compliance Analyzer can be used with UDIMM, RDIMM, LRDIMM as well as all flavors of SODIMM, including DDR3 SOUDIMM with ECC and DDR3 SORDIMM.

Currently available and starting at $15,950.00 USD, the Kibra 480 Compliance Analyzer can also be upgraded with additional features to give full protocol and timing analysis as well as performance monitoring, virtually eliminating the need for a high cost logic analyzer.

Slot Mods USA Races Into Ultimate Holiday List

Detroit-based maker of handcrafted slot-car tracks premieres in 2014 Neiman Marcus Christmas Book

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich., Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Slot Mods USA, a Detroit-based company that builds exquisitely detailed, handcrafted slot-car racing tracks, hits the big-time this holiday season with the premiere of a $300,000 Slot Mods USA track in the 2014 Neiman Marcus Christmas Book. The 88th edition of the annual luxury wish book features everything from Swarovski crystal ornaments to Maserati sports cars.

Period-correct slot cars, pit crews and grandstands, along with integrated in-track cameras that display the action on mini-screens, immerse slot-car enthusiasts into the on-track action.

The Slot Mods USA item in the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book, titled the Slot Mods USA Ultimate Slot Car Raceway and priced at $300,000, includes a re-creation of the buyer's fantasy track along with an inaugural race night party co-hosted by racing legends such as Vic Elford and David Hobbs.
