NATIONAL
INSTITUTE FOR DEMENTIA
EDUCATION
RECOGNIZES PHOTO
REMINISCENCE THERAPY (pRT)
RESEARCH PROJECT
pRT IMPROVES QUALITY OF LIFE
FOR DEMENTIA PATIENTS
Pilot Study Conducted
by NIDE, CERTUS Institute,
Vivid-Pix, Tellegacy, & achi
“Cognitive Benefits of Photo
Reminiscence Therapy for
Dementia Patients”
pRT Study at:
https://nid.education/nide-publications.html
February 1, 2022, Orlando,
FL -- The National
Institute for Dementia
Education
(NIDE)
announced today results from
the “Cognitive Benefits
of Photo Reminiscence
Therapy for Dementia
Patients” research study
that concluded that Photo
Reminiscence Therapy can
improve the quality of life
for those living with
dementia or related forms of
memory impairment. Conducted
by a coalition of
organizations, including the
National Institute for
Dementia Education, the
CERTUS Institute, Vivid-Pix,
Tellegacy, and achi, the
group studied the
healing power of photos and
concluded that Photo
Reminiscence Therapy (pRT)
can
minimize social isolation
and improve medication
compliance and general
cognitive performance. The
complete pRT study is
available at:
https://nid.education/nide-publications.html.
Videos about the study are
available at:
https://www.vivid-pix.com/reminisce/.
Over 8.8 Million Americans
Currently Have Dementia
Over 8.8 million Americans
are currently living with
Alzheimer’s and other forms
of dementia. This number is
expected to triple within
the next few decades. In
addition, Alzheimer's
disease is one of the
leading causes of death in
the United States, with one
in three seniors dying from
Alzheimer’s disease or other
forms of dementia.
Experts have been using
Reminiscence Therapy for
years to help Alzheimer’s
and other forms of dementia
and depression. As reported
by Shirley Wang,
NPR,
“Researchers find that
dementia patients who engage
in activities, such as
gathering photographs and
talking about family, see
improvements in their
quality of life and are less
agitated.”
Researchgate also
reported that Reminiscence
Therapy is an effective way
to increase self-esteem and
decrease behavioral
disturbances in those with
dementia, and their research
proved that photography was
the best therapy.
“We concluded that the power
of engaging with personal
photos, matched with a
high-quality care curriculum
and living environment, may
improve the quality of life
for those with dementia by
stimulating the brain and
fostering neurogenesis as
well as neuroplasticity.
This may improve quality of
life and, in some cases,
temporarily diminish
dementia symptoms during
therapeutic sessions,” said
Joshua Freitas,
PhD(c), M.Ed., BC-DEd,
Chief Research Officer,
CERTUS Institute.
How pRT Research was
Conducted
The Photo Reminiscence
Therapy research study
identified photos that
foster reminiscence and
looked at the behavioral and
somatic responses of older
adults in senior living care
through pRT. The study was
conducted in 2021 in three
five-week phases comparing
the influences of viewing
different types of photos at
four CERTUS Senior Living
communities in Florida.
CERTUS oversaw the care and
clinical assessment, with
participants ranging in age
from 67 to 92 years, who
were living with a diagnosis
of dementia or memory
impairment and had diverse
work backgrounds, from
engineers to stay-at-home
mothers. The study employed
the Tellegacy/achi program,
which uses social prompts
that foster human connection
through focused questions as
part of an evidence-based
curriculum.
The Effects of Different
Photos
The pilot group studied the
effects between viewing
generic stock photos,
personal photos, or no
photos.
Photo types included family,
self-portraits, pets,
landmarks, newspaper
articles, nature, and
abstract
themes. Aged or faded
personal photos were
enhanced using Vivid-Pix
technology to digitally
enhance and restore images,
improving color, contrast,
clarity, and overall
quality. This allowed photos
to be more recognizable and
relatable. Vivid-Pix’s
knowledge of how people
emotionally connect and
interact with photos was
also essential to the
research.
“This study highlights the
emotional, mental, and
physical health benefits
that looking at photos
provide to the young and
young-at-heart alike,” said
Rick Voight, CEO of
Vivid-Pix.
The pilot study was led by
Joshua Freitas, Chief
Research Officer at CERTUS
and
an award-winning expert,
researcher, and author on
memory care, Dr.
Jeremy Holloway,
Founder, Tellegacy
and Professor and
Director of Geriatrics
Education at University of
North Dakota School of
Medicine and Health
Sciences, Rick Voight,
CEO, Vivid-Pix, photo
researcher, and Hayley
Studer, CPA, FHFMA, Founder
of achi, a holistic care
management company.
“Our findings were robust,
insightful, and beneficial
for participants,” said Dr.
Jeremy Holloway, Tellegacy.
“Through engagement with
personal photos, pRT can
help patients with
Alzheimer’s and other forms
of dementia and provide
healthy neurological and
action-based benefits to
those with dementia,
especially in supportive
care environments.”
“As a
percentage of population,
individuals over age 65 will
double by 2050. How we care
for our aging is of social
and economic importance,”
describes Hayley Studer,
achi. “As a bright light
shines on how the social
determinants of health are
affecting communities, many
want to take action to
create healthier communities
and reduce overall
healthcare costs.”

JOOKI ANNOUNCES NEW STREAMING WIFI
MUSIC & STORY SPEAKER FOR KIDS
Jooki’s Patented NFC-Enabled ToyTouch® Technology
Lets Kids Use Figurines & Tokens to Stream Playlists
with No Screens in Sight
A Screen-Free Childhood Develops a Child’s
Imagination & Independence –
It’s Like Magic!
Brussels, Belgium,
September 21, 2021 – Jooki
https://jooki.rocks/ announced today the
release of the new kids’ Wi-Fi speaker,
Jooki -- the first kids’ speaker with streaming
music and audio capabilities. The new Jooki
speaker is a wireless screen-free music/audiobook
player with Spotify connection. Featuring Jooki’s
patented NFC-enabled ToyTouch®
Technology,
Jooki lets kids operate the speaker independently
using figurines or tokens as a remote control that
triggers playlists that parents preset with a few
clicks on the Jooki app. Guided by Montessori
education principles, the award-winning Jooki player
connects through Wi-Fi for music and audiobook
streaming and Bluetooth for wireless headset
listening, helping parents empower their children to
develop creativity, independence, and emotional
awareness through the child’s own access to a wide
range of pre-selected songs, music, and stories.
Faster, lighter, and better, Jooki Generation 2 is
magic at a kid’s fingertips!
Jooki Connects with Spotify
Jooki embraces the modern way to consume music
through Spotify streaming, unlike many
other children’s speakers that operate with CDs.
Jooki lets kids listen to the audio content that
they want, whenever they want: Spotify and MP3 audio
files of music, songs, and stories can be imported
offline or streamed directly from the speaker. Jooki
is lightweight and fully portable with a built-in
8-hour hour USB rechargeable battery with
wireless (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) or local offline
(MP3) capabilities. Awarded best in Family Tech at
CES, Jooki is the perfect holiday or birthday gift,
made for children ages 3 and up.
How Jooki’s Patented ToyTouch® Technology Works
Jooki’s founders patented their innovative use of
NFC technology and electronics, so kids only need a
figurine or a token to operate Jooki. Parents
associate content to a figurine or a token using the
Jooki app; then the child only has to place the
figurine or token on Jooki for the playlist to
start. Jooki is more than a toy to put aside after a
few weeks, the screen-free device is designed for
families that wants to spark kids’ imaginations and
limit screen time.
“Jooki is simply the kid’s music and story
player for a screen-free childhood,” said Christine
Brendle, CEO, Jooki Inc. “It lets you bond with your
children by linking audiobooks, favorite playlists,
or personal audio files to Jooki figurines and
tokens. Your kids will only have to place one of
them on a Jooki to trigger the playlist. It’s like
magic and is a great way to keep kids engaged
without screens.”
Jooki Features:
·
Wireless screen-free portable music and story
speaker made for kids.
·
ToyTouch®
Technology: playlists start when a colorful RFID-enabled
figurine or token is placed on Jooki.
·
Plays Spotify
content and local MP3 audio files.
·
Wi-Fi enabled.
·
Bluetooth connection
to wireless headsets

Genealogy/Family History is one of World’s Most

Genealogy/family history is one of the world’s most
popular hobbies. During the pandemic, many people
used their free time at home to clean out and
organize closets, attics, and basements; finding
shoeboxes and containers full of old photos and
documents. “What folks learned when organizing
during quarantine and lockdown, is that many of
their treasured old photos and documents have faded
– with many unrecognizable and illegible after years
of age. Vivid-Pix patented software helps remedy
this situation, restoring images and memories from
the past,” said Rick Voight, CEO, Vivid-Pix.
Vivid-Pix Whodunit Mystery Game Immerses You in the
Genealogy Process
The Vivid-Pix Whodunit Mystery Game immerses you
into the genealogy process using restored photos and
documents to learn about relatives’ past. The game
is all about a fictional long-lost Great-Uncle:
George Albert Bellamy, who emigrated from the U.K.
to the U.S. in the early 1900’s. By collaborating
with distant cousin Peter, you will analyze
miniscule details in old photos and documents using
the restoration tools in Vivid-Pix to discover
hidden clues from Great-Uncle George’s past in the
U.K. and his mysterious travels overseas to the U.S.

beyond, complete with crime, cryptic postcards, and
more!

over the Age of 30, & 54% over the Age of 50
Millions look forward to the joy of reuniting with
family and friends every year, even more so now due
to the separation caused by the pandemic. “Reunions
will take many forms this year,” describes Rick
Voight, CEO, Vivid-Pix. “To illustrate, I’ll quote
Merriam-Webster: ‘A reunion is 1: an act of
coming or bringing together again after being apart.
2: an organized gathering of people who have not
been together for some time.’ Most people are
balancing safety concerns with longing to be
together. Some will reunite with close contacts,
others will have full gatherings, others will
continue with ‘Zoom Reunions’ and we will see hybrid
physical/distance reunions.”
Included in the upcoming June issue, Reunions
magazine analyzed multiple data source research
on who is planning reunions and services needed,
including the most used reunions services
implemented prior to the pandemic: catering,
photography, videography, tours, buses, florists,
and professional planners. The study concluded that
women over the age of 30 are the main planners of
reunions, with 87% of planners female, 92% over the
age of 30 and 54% over the age of 50. In addition,
the majority of reunions, 59%, had 51-100+
attendees.

How to Make Reunions Safe & Fun
The upcoming issue of Reunions magazine also
includes an article by
Lisa Alzo, genealogist, lecturer, and author
of 11 books and numerous magazine articles, who has
been planning her family’s reunions (nicknamed
“ALAFFFA” after her family’s initials) for 50+
years. She delves into safety protocols, activities,
and ways to make family reunions held in 2021 unique
and fun, including:
·
What
safety protocols are needed: masks, cleaning, and
social distancing?
·
How
should technology be used to connect with family
members unable to attend in person?
·
Using
gifts and crafts to create a memorable family
reunion.
·
How to
handle the food; is it time to go back to buffet
style or should other options be considered:
potluck, catering, or pizza delivery?
·
What
outdoor activities should be planned (usual games
for her family were softball or cornhole)? Should
indoor trivia or board games be implemented in case
of inclement weather or for those unable to
participate in outdoor sports?
·
What
should be done to make sure old traditions are not
lost, including having a theme, designating time for
family updates, and discussion?
·
How are
the skills of each generation of the family
leveraged to make sure 2021 is a memorable
experience for all?
·
What is
the appropriate way to remember those who have
passed away?
“Family, class, and military reunion planners are
eager to return to the task of making their reunions
happen. Hugs can only happen in person … not
online!” said Edith Wagner, Editor, Reunions
magazine. “Reunion planners rely on the
knowledge, skill, and expertise of professionals to
help answer questions, solve dilemmas, make
decisions and plans. They are looking for answers to
questions they’ve not even thought to ask and know
they can’t do it all without help from experts at
convention and visitors or tourism bureaus, hotels,
resorts, airlines, cruise lines, ranches, bed and
breakfasts, Airbnbs, and inns, t-shirt suppliers,
memento makers, caterers, photographers, florists,
motor coaches, attractions, entertainment, and
more.”

ICLEANSE
PARTNERS WITH ATHENA HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS TO
PROVIDE UV-C DISINFECTING UNITS TO 51 NURSING
HOMES IN NORTHEAST
iCleanse to Help
Curb the Spread of COVID-19 in Nursing Homes by
Disinfecting Devices
iCleanse is
Currently in Use in Hundreds of U.S. Hospitals &
Nursing Homes
Avon, CT,
March 10, 2021
--
iCleanse,
the leader in UV-C personal
device disinfection, announced today that
it has partnered with Athena Health Care to
provide Athena’s 51 nursing home in the
Northeast with iCleanse’s patented UV-C
disinfecting units to disinfect frequently
used devices for COVID-19 and other virus safety
and infection control. For over three decades,
Athena Health Care Systems, based in Farmington,
CT, has been a regional leader in providing
skilled nursing care, short-term, post-hospital
rehabilitation, assisted and senior living, as
well as home health, hospice care, and private
duty program services.
COVID-19 Can
Last up to 28 Days on Surfaces
In today’s
times, nursing homes and long-term care
facilities have been plagued with virus
outbreaks. Their older demographics and confined
spaces make them highly susceptible to viruses,
especially since COVID-19 can last up to 28 days
on surfaces. Health care facilities have been
working hard to protect patients and employees
from contracting and spreading COVID-19. A major
strategy to curb outbreaks is using UV-C
Technology, such as the iCleanse Swift, to
disinfect frequently touched items and devices
that are passed from person to person. iCleanse Swift
reduces the spread of infectious pathogens to
nursing home patients and employees by killing 99.9% of bacteria on devices and other
items in less than 30 seconds.
iCleanse is in
use in hundreds of U.S. hospitals and nursing
homes, where over 87% of nurses and physicians
are using technology, like tablets and
smartphones, in addition to other devices and
items, including stethoscopes. Devices save time
between patients by quickly inputting patient
information; providing patient check-ins; and
tracking visitors. Keeping health care
facilities open, safe, and efficient is iCleanse’s top
priority.
“The iCleanse
units have been well-received and greatly
appreciated by the teams at our centers,” said
Larry Santilli, President, and CEO, Athena
Health Care Systems. “Nursing homes across the
country have been significantly impacted by
COVID-19 and Athena Health Care Systems has gone
to extraordinary lengths to provide protection,
whether in the forms of PPE or the newest
technology in the iCleanse units, to ensure the
health and safety of our staff. The units
provide not only another level of infection
prevention but also provide peace of mind for
our dedicated, compassionate caregivers. Chris
Allen and his team have developed a great tool
to complement our expanding infection prevention
program.”
CEO of iCleanse, Chris
Allen, said, “I am excited to partner with Mr.
Santilli at Athena Health Care Systems,
providing them with UV-C disinfection they can
trust. It is essential during these times to
keep workers and residents safe from viruses and
harmful bacteria that can lead to infection,
including COVID-19. Our products will provide
the necessary tools needed to fight this
pandemic.”
About iCleanse
iCleanse (formerly
ReadyDock) is trusted by over 100 U.S.
hospitals. The company’s chemical-free UV-C
technology kills pathogens, like
the flu, common cold, and COVID-19*.
Designed with businesses,
employees, customers, and patients
in mind, iCleanse offers
a wide range of products for every workflow. iCleanse products
disinfect high touch surfaces, such as mobile
phones and tablets, as well as stethoscopes, ID

the power of iCleanse UV-C
disinfection units, users can disinfect devices
in less than 30 seconds with 99.9% of infectious
pathogens killed. There is no liquid used in the
disinfecting process, only ultraviolet light.

disinfection product for mobile
devices and other personal items that kills 99.99%
of pathogens, like COVID-19, in as
little as 30 seconds. The Swift XL quickly
disinfects multiple mobile phones and
large-sized tablets simultaneously, as well as
bulkier electronics and personal items, such as body

more. Simple to use, it comes equipped with an
easy to navigate user interface to quickly start

·

portable and versatile for hospitals and
businesses without available space to sanitize
devices.
“This partnership
will enable us to better serve our existing
corporate clients by expanding our product
offering in this critically important category,”
said ChargeTech CEO John Cappetta. “We were so
impressed by the design and efficacy of the
iCleanse products that we decided the best way
to serve our customers was to expand on our
large format suite of products by adding the
iCleanse line or products as one of their
licensed distributors. We are thrilled to expand
on our CleanCharge line of large format UV-C
device charging, cleaning, and storage products
with the exceptional iCleanse products.”

ROOTSTECH CONNECT 2021 NEWS
VIVID-PIX BRINGS FAMILY HISTORY HOME
AT ROOTSTECH CONNECT 2021 WITH FREE EDUCATION & RESEARCH
New
Family History Series for Families, Family
Historians & Librarians Vivid-Pix Partners with achi & Tellegacy to
Provide Research to Assist Older Adults, Families, & Health
Providers
February 25, 2021,
Salt Lake City, UT –
Vivid-Pix
www.vivid-pix.com,
the leading provider of AI-powered image
restoration software, announced today at
RootsTech Connect,
the world’s largest family history event,
Vivid-Pix Education for family “Chief
Memory Officers” (those who enjoy taking
pictures and sharing family stories), family
historians, and librarians. In addition,
Vivid-Pix announced today that it is partnering
with achi and Tellegacy to provide academic and
business research to help older adults and
families and assist health providers.
Family History/Genealogy is 2nd Most Popular
Hobby in the U.S.
As published by
Time, USA Today, and the
NY Times, family history/genealogy is the
second most popular hobby in America, especially
for those over the age of 55. Integrating photos
is an important component of this hobby, with
photo popularity continuing to grow in the U.S.
for all age groups. “Photo ubiquity is
illustrated by how we communicate today in
social media – a picture says a thousand words.
Most online conversations revolve around photos
– whether viewing last night’s dinner or
yesteryear’s photos where we see older adults as
children. Photos connect us across languages and
other differences,” said Vivid-Pix CEO, Rick
Voight.
Vivid-Pix Creates Education for Families, Family
Historians, and Librarians
Have you ever wanted to tell your story and your
family story? To harness photography’s impact on
family history, Vivid-Pix has launched new
education for families and family historians. In
this six-part series, author / storyteller and
genealogist Laura Hedgecock teaches us
how to share stories in bite-sized videos,
starting with the class Witness to History:
Now and Then. Classes are available at:
https://www.vivid-pix.com/education.html.
Vivid-Pix is also providing education for
librarians. The American Library Association
(ALA) estimates that there are 116,867 libraries
in the United States. Very few universities
offer a genealogy course path for librarians
pursuing a Master of Library Science. Working
with experts in the field, Vivid-Pix has created
a twelve-part Genealogy Librarian
Education Series at: https://www.vivid-pix.com/librarian
with classes and special panel discussions,
including:
·
“Introduction
to Genealogical Research and the Role of the
Genealogy Librarian”:
taught by Drew Smith, MA LIS, USF
Libraries.
·
“The
Genealogical Reference Interview, Orientation to
Library Resources & Services”:
taught by Sue Kaufman, MLIS, Sr. Manager,
Houston Public Library – Clayton Library Center
for Genealogical Research.
·
“Working
with Local Genealogical and Historical Societies”:
panel discussion hosted by Cherie Bush,
Deputy Chief Genealogical Officer for
FamilySearch Intl.
·
“Marketing
the Genealogy Library”:
panel discussion hosted by Allison DePrey
Singleton, MA, MLS, Sr. Librarian,
Genealogy Center, Allen County Public
Library, Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The CDC estimates that 20% of people age 55
years or older experience some type of mental
health concern. The most common conditions
include anxiety, severe cognitive impairment,
and mood disorders (such as depression or
bipolar disorder) - see: https://www.cdc.gov/aging/pdf/mental_health.pdf
.Research has shown that loneliness and social
isolation can result in long-term negative
health outcomes. Studies also illustrate the
health benefits of using photos to reduce
loneliness, stress, and anxiety, as well as the
recollective benefits for those that suffer from
early-onset of dementia, dementia, and
Alzheimer’s.
achi, Tellegacy & Vivid-Pix (ATV) Launch
Academic and Business Research to Assist Aging
Population
Vivid-Pix
is also
announcing ATV, a partnership with achi and
Tellegacy to study and improve older adult
population health. Dr. Jeremy
Holloway, Assistant Professor and Director
of Geriatrics Education at University of North
Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences,
will lead the primary research utilizing student
caregiver/senior engagement. Rick Voight,
MBA, CEO, Vivid-Pix, will lead the effort on
business research and Hayley Studer, CPA,
FHFMA, will lead financial modeling to study how
to reduce cost and improve older adult health.
The inter-generational Tellegacy program helps
keep older adults connected. ATV activities will
integrate photos into loneliness, isolation, and
reminiscence therapy research. Read research
info at:
“Photo Reminiscing Can Reduce Stress &
Depression During Coronavirus.
Vivid-Pix at RootsTech Connect and Beyond
Vivid-Pix is a bronze sponsor and exhibitor of
RootsTech Connect, which is being held virtually
from Feb. 25-27, 2021. In addition to RootsTech
Connect, Vivid-Pix is also the title sponsor of
NGS Conference’s SLAM (Societies,
Libraries, Archives, Museums) and Focus on
Societies (genealogical societies,
historical societies, and family organizations),
two pillars of the five-day
National Genealogical Society (NGS) virtual
conference, held May 17-21, 2021. NGS and
RootsTech Connect are the backbone of the
genealogy community and an important source of
information and knowledge for budding family
historians and experts alike.
Vivid-Pix also recently announced the
acquisition of
Reunions magazine,
a leading publication for reunion planning and
celebration for the past 30 years. This resource
provides family, class, and military reunions
ideas, features, and education to connect in
person and online. For more information on

About Tellegacy
Tellegacy is an intergenerational program
created to combat loneliness and social
isolation among older adults, keeping them
connected and engaged through weekly phone or
virtual visits with university students. As
research shows, loneliness and social isolation
can result in long-term negative health
outcomes. Tellegacy founder, Jeremy Holloway,
PhD, is determined to change that narrative with
his flexible, relationship-oriented,
mindfulness, goal-setting and guided imagery
curriculum. In partnership with Hayley Studer,
founder of achi, a holistic care management
company that lowers overall expenses by actively
engaging people and connecting them to
organizations to address the social determinants
of health, the infrastructure for which
Tellegacy was built. To learn more about the

Experts: Vivid-Pix, Kenyatta D. Berry from PBS,
Reunions Magazine, & Dear Myrtle Create
Online Gatherings
Edith Wagner,
Reunions Magazine’s editor,
has been on the frontline of countless events
cancelled and postponed. She said, “Reunions and
gatherings of all kinds have been upended this
year. Deprived of physical contact, reunions
cleverly found a way to ‘gather’ on Zoom and now
you can, too. Shaking hands, hugs, and kisses
will have to wait, but smiles, laughter, and
excitement don’t have to!”
As host of the
Genealogy Roadshow on PBS,
Kenyatta D. Berry has brought genealogy into
the homes of millions. “Family stories and oral
history is often critical and one of the most
enjoyable parts of the genealogy journey. It’s
important to interview older family members,
close relatives, and family friends. While we
are at home, this is a great time to use
technology for these interviews, to discover new
family stories and share photographs. I hope
this education series inspires everyone to
create their own time capsule,” described
Kenyatta D. Berry.
DearMYRTLE and Cousin Russ
have helped genealogy societies, institutes, and
individuals with their research journey through
Zoom education. “During this time of social
distancing, fun family stories and traditions
can be shared and recorded via Zoom. Why not
create virtual time capsules and save the
recordings for future generations?” said Pat
Richley-Erickson, DearMYRTLE. “Photographs,
traditions, and reminiscing can be shared, so
that these stories that might otherwise be lost
can brighten our lives today and enrich the
lives of future generations tomorrow.”
Discovering Your Roots Can Brighten the Holidays
and Enrich Future Generations’ Lives –
Vivid-Pix Image Restoration Software is an
Essential Component to Learning about Your Past
“By learning from renowned reunion and genealogy
experts, this education series can be used for
virtual reunions and gatherings, as well as

traditions to hand down to future generations.”
described Rick Voight, CEO, Vivid-Pix, creator

NEW COLDSNAP™
FOR BUSINESS LAUNCHED -- ICE CREAM APPLIANCE FOR BUSINESS & CONVENIENCE
STORES RAPID FREEZING TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES SINGLE-SERVE
PREMIUM ICE CREAM IN A FEW SECONDS
ColdSnap is Perk for Employees & Customers or to
Generate Revenue Produces Amazing Tasting On Demand Ice Cream,
Frozen Cocktails, Frozen Yogurt, Frozen Coffee,
& Smoothies in Just 60 to 90 seconds No Mess/No Refrigeration Pods for Individual
Servings in a Variety of Flavors
December 10, 2020, Billerica, MA – Sigma Phase,
Corp. announced today
ColdSnap™
for Business, a rapid freezing appliance
with personalized single servings of premium
ice cream, frozen yogurt, frozen cocktails,
smoothies, and frozen coffee in about 90
seconds.
ColdSnap for Business is a Keurig/Nespresso-style
machine for ice cream and other frozen
confections that lets stores and businesses
offer their customers
and employees delicious frozen confections in
individualized servings, on-the-spot, free of
messy preparation and cleanup.
Ideal for
Convenience Stores, Airports, Spas, Car
Dealers, Hotels, Offices, Breakrooms, Cafeterias
in Hospitals and Universities & Other Businesses
– No Plumbing or Installation Needed
Perfect as an
employee or customer perk/incentive or to
generate revenue through the continuous sale of
pods,
the
ColdSnap for Business machine
uses its
patented Rapid Freezing
Technology to instantly freeze ambient
temperature product in single-serving recyclable
ColdSnap Pods. Businesses, such as
convenience stores, airports, spas, car dealers,
hotels, caterers, and other offices and
businesses, can quickly place a ColdSnap machine
on a table, desk, or countertop without the
need for installation. No freezing, preparation,
cartridges, filters, clean up, or plumbing is
required -- as is currently needed with
other frozen confection and beverage machines.
Made for Continuous Heavy Duty Commercial Use –
No Re-Cooling Needed
ColdSnap for Business is robustly made
for
heavy duty continuous commercial use. The
ColdSnap system produces multiple consecutive
frozen confections without requiring a
time-consuming re-cooling phase. The machine
accepts shelf-stable, ambient temperature
ColdSnap Pods, then repeatedly freezes and
dispenses the contents of the Pods. To set up,
simply place the ColdSnap machine on a table or
countertop; plug the system into an electric
socket; insert the desired ColdSnap Pod; and
follow the on-screen instructions. In
approximately 90 seconds, your clients,
customers, or employees will enjoy delicious ice
cream for an enjoyable pick-me-up.

40%
Smaller Ice Crystals than Store Bought for
Amazing Tasting Ice Cream –
Eliminates Traditional Cold Supply Chain
ColdSnap’s cutting-edge freezing technology
creates micro-sized ice crystals that are 40%
smaller than store-bought products,
guaranteeing ColdSnap’s amazing taste and the smoothest texture possible. Since ColdSnap
Pods are shelf-stable and can be shipped at
ambient temperature, the system is independent
of the expensive, unreliable, and
environmentally unfriendly cold chain that is in
current use to bring factory-frozen ice cream
and other frozen products to market. Through the
ColdSnap system, ice cream can now be shipped
directly to stores and offices without the use
of dry ice or cold storage, reducing the
costs traditionally associated with shipping
frozen ice cream.
Availability
ColdSnap for Business machines and Pods will be
available for purchase through the ColdSnap
website at
www.ColdSnap.com
and at select retail locations. In addition to
the business version, a ColdSnap version will
also be available for home use. Other food and
beverage categories will be introduced in 2021.

The ColdSnap Story
When nightly bedtime stories grew dull for Matt
Fonte and his two daughters, they decided to
swap magic tree house and fairytale princess
books for a more creative past-time: invention
journals. Topping the list of potential
inventions: a better ice cream machine for
at-home use without all the hassle. His
daughters envisioned a Keurig®-style
machine that could generate ice cream
immediately without a mess. This inspired Fonte,
a serial entrepreneur, who saw great potential
in the idea.
To execute this invention, Fonte formed Sigma
Phase, Corp. in October 2018 in Massachusetts,
with the singular objective to transform the way
frozen confections were produced, transported,
purchased, and enjoyed. The Company has
assembled a first-class team, and together, they
are moving quickly to create something exciting
that doesn’t exist on the market today.
ColdSnap’s patented technology has the promise
to disrupt the massive global ice cream market
with its delicious, personalized, frozen
confectionery experience, including in
geographies where the cold chain is weak and
unreliable. For more information, please see

November 17, 2020, Avon, CT—iCleanse
http://www.icleanse.com/ (formerly ReadyDock),
the leader in chemical-free UV-C disinfection
technology for over ten years, announced today
the Swift and Swift Mini, two new
patented chemical-free UV-C disinfection
products for mobile devices and other

buildings, and other businesses. Similar to the
original popular Swift XL disinfection unit, but
with a much smaller footprint, the Swift and
Swift Mini kills 99.99% of pathogens, like
COVID-19, in as little as 30 seconds. At
two-thirds the size of the Swift XL, the Swift and Swift mini
are much more
portable and versatile for hospitals and
businesses that don’t have available space to
sanitize devices.
Easy-to-Use Interface Quickly Disinfects
Multiple Devices & Items
Equipped with the same UV-C technology as the
Swift XL, the small Swift Mini, at only 15.5
inches wide and Swift, at only 20 inches wide,
quickly disinfect multiple mobile phones and
large-sized tablets simultaneously, as well
as bulkier electronics and personal items, such
as body cams, CB radios, stethoscopes, hair
brushes, and more. Simple to use, the new
units are equipped with an easy to navigate
user interface to quickly start
disinfection cycles or customize cycle times.
The software even notifies you when it’s time to
replace the UV-C lamps, ensuring that devices
are always properly disinfected.

Virtual Reunions and Time Capsule Education
Vivid-Pix is partnering with Kenyatta
D.
Berry,
Reunions Magazine,
DearMYRTLE,
and
Cousin Russ
to provide free, valuable how-to information.
“These tools will help families during the holidays and create time
capsules for past and future connectedness,” said Rick Voight, CEO,
Vivid-Pix. “By working with reunion and genealogy experts, this
education series can be used for virtual reunions and gatherings, as
well as creating genealogy interviews and capturing traditions to hand
down to future generations.”
Perfect Time to Use Technology to Discover New Family Stories
As host of the
Genealogy Roadshow on PBS, Kenyatta D. Berry has
brought genealogy into the homes of millions. “Family stories and oral
history is often critical and one of the most enjoyable parts of the
genealogy journey. It’s important to interview older family members,
close relatives, and family friends. While we are at home, this is a
great time to use technology for these interviews, to discover new
family stories and share photographs. I hope this education series
inspires everyone to create their own time capsule,” described Kenyatta
D. Berry.
DearMYRTLE and Cousin Russ have helped genealogy societies, institutes,
and individuals with their research journey through Zoom education.
“During this time of social distancing, fun family stories and
traditions can be shared and recorded via Zoom. Why not create virtual
time capsules and save the recordings for future generations?” said Pat
Richley-Erickson, DearMYRTLE. “Photographs, traditions, and reminiscing
can be shared, so that these stories that might otherwise be lost can
brighten our lives today and enrich the lives of future generations
tomorrow.”
Discovering Your Roots Can Brighten the Holidays and Enrich Future
Generations’ Lives
Edith
Wagner, Reunions Magazine’s editor, has been on the frontline of
countless events cancelled and postponed. She said, “Reunions and
gatherings of all kinds have been upended this year and we don’t know
how long it will last. Deprived of physical contact, reunions cleverly
found a way to ‘gather’ on Zoom and now you, too, can learn these
techniques to assemble your family or group in substitute reunions.
Shaking hands, hugs, and kisses will have to wait, but smiles, laughter,
and excitement don’t have to!”

COLDSNAP™
REVOLUTIONIZES ICE CREAM WITH RAPID FREEZING
TECHNOLOGY FOR SINGLE-SERVE PREMIUM ICE CREAM IN
A SNAP
The Smoothest Ice Cream You’ll Ever Taste
ColdSnap Makes On Demand Ice Cream, Frozen
Cocktails, Frozen Yogurt, & Smoothies in 60-120
Seconds with No Mess Pods for Individual
Servings in a Variety of Flavors
Easy Machine Set-up - No Preparation of the Pods
- No Refrigeration of Pods Needed
Recyclable Pods - Perfect for Home & Commercial
Use
Available through E-Commerce
October 20, 2020, Billerica, MA – Sigma Phase,
Corp. announced today the
ColdSnap™
rapid freezing appliance
that produces personalized single servings of premium ice cream, frozen yogurt, frozen
cocktails, smoothies, and frozen coffee in
60-120 seconds.
ColdSnap is a Keurig/Nespresso-style machine,
but for ice cream and other frozen confections.
With ColdSnap,
everyone can now have
delicious frozen confections in individualized
servings, prepared on-the-spot, and free of
messy preparation and cleanup.
The ColdSnap machine
uses its
patented refrigeration
technology to rapidly freeze shelf-stable
food and beverage formulations in single-serve
recyclable ColdSnap Pods that do not require
refrigeration or preparation.
Rapid Freezing Technology & Pod System
Transforms Frozen Treats
The patented ColdSnap system transforms the way
frozen treats are produced and enjoyed. No
plumbing, no set up, no preparation, no
cartridges, no filters, and no cleaning
is required of the ColdSnap system. To set up,
simply place the ColdSnap machine on a
countertop (the machine fits under a traditional
kitchen cabinet); plug the system into a
kitchen electric socket; insert the desired
ColdSnap Pod; and follow the on-screen
instructions. In under two minutes, you can
enjoy delicious ice cream at home or work for a
great pick-me-up.
ColdSnap Smoothies and Frozen Yogurt at Office
The Smoothest Ice Cream with Micro-Sized Ice
Crystals and No Refreezing
ColdSnap’s cutting-edge freezing technology
creates micro-sized ice crystals that are 40%
smaller than store-bought products,
guaranteeing ColdSnap’s amazing taste and the smoothest texture possible. “ColdSnap ice
cream is creamy with a smoother mouth-feel than
ice cream that undertakes a deep freeze that is
required when shipping in refrigerated trucks
and kept frozen in the grocery store,” said Matt
Fonte, President, Sigma Phase, Corp. “Frozen
yogurt made with the ColdSnap machine has a
dense, velvety texture, and frozen cocktails
(including Margaritas, Pina Coladas, Daiquiris,
and Mud Slides) have a silky smooth
consistency that is virtually impossible to
replicate in any home or bar. In short, ColdSnap
makes a smoother, better tasting product.”
Ideal for Home & Commercial Use
For the home,
the ColdSnap system is perfect for
better-tasting, fresher, frozen desserts and
beverages, with individual selections to fit
everyone’s taste. ColdSnap Pods are great for an
everyday treat, family fun, parties, or special
events – without the advance preparation or
hard-to-clean mess of traditional ice cream
makers and blenders. The ColdSnap system is also
ideal for offices, cafeterias, gyms and spas,
car dealerships, and other service providers
as a one-of-a-kind benefit for businesses that
want to encourage and reward employees or
customers.
In addition, convenience stores, and other
commercial settings, such as airports and hotels,
can place a ColdSnap machine to generate revenue
and profit through the continuous sale of
ColdSnap Pods without having to worry about
keeping the Pods frozen (they are shelf stable
at room temperature) and without the daily
clean-up required of contemporary frozen
confection and beverage machines. The ColdSnap
system provides higher margins since the machine
doesn’t have to be plumbed for
installation, cleaned after use, and the Pods do
not require refrigeration.
ColdSnap Eliminates the Traditional Cold Supply
Chain
ColdSnap Pods are shelf-stable and can be
shipped at ambient temperature. As a result, the
ColdSnap system is independent of the expensive,
unreliable, and environmentally unfriendly cold
chain that is used to bring factory-frozen ice
cream and other frozen products to market.
ColdSnap has potential to grow in the already
massive global ice cream market, including
geographies where the cold chain is weak and
unreliable.
Revolutionizes Direct-To-Consumer Ice Cream
Opportunities while Reducing Carbon Emissions
ColdSnap revolutionizes the direct-to-consumer
ice cream experience. Through the ColdSnap
system, ice cream can now be shipped
direct-to-consumer both to homes and offices
without the use of dry ice or cold storage, reducing the costs traditionally associated
with shipping frozen ice cream. Additionally,
ColdSnap does not require
environmentally-unfriendly refrigeration systems
of factory-frozen ice cream, and therefore, will
reduce carbon emissions associated with
making and distributing ice cream by 25% to 50%.
ColdSnap Pods are recyclable, made from
infinitely recyclable Aluminum.
Made for Heavy-Duty Professional Grade Use
ColdSnap is made robustly for commercial use.
The ColdSnap system produces multiple
consecutive frozen confections without requiring
a time-consuming re-cooling phase. The machine
accepts shelf-stable, ambient temperature
ColdSnap Pods, then repeatably freezes and
dispenses the contents of the Pods.
ColdSnap Features:
·
Makes single servings of frozen confections:
ice cream, frozen cocktails, smoothies, frozen
yogurt, frozen coffee, frozen healthy shakes,
and slushies.
·
Tastes super smooth: creates micro-sized ice
crystals that result in
the best tasting ice cream, smoothies, and
frozen cocktails you’ve ever had.
·
Fast, no prep needed:
makes frozen confections in 60-120 seconds
depending on flavor and type.
·
No freezing or dry ice needed:
Pods can be shipped without refrigeration and
kept on a shelf instead of a freezer.
·
Easy set-up:
simply plug in the ColdSnap machine and follow
the on-screen instructions. No plumbing
required.
·
No consumables needed:
no cartridges or filters needed.
·
No clean-up:
frozen confections are dispensed from the Pod
into the bowl without touching the machine. No
part of the machine touches the food
ingredients.
·
Recyclable:
Pods are made of recyclable Aluminum.
·
Dimensions: small
size fits easily in a kitchen, desk, counter, or
table, with a weight of ~ 50 lbs.
Simple steps to use:
1) Select an Aluminum ColdSnap Pod containing a
favorite frozen confection (ice cream, smoothie,
frozen coffee, frozen yogurt, frozen protein
shakes and/or frozen cocktail).
2) Insert the Pod into the ColdSnap machine.
3)
Chill out for 60–120 seconds and enjoy
the best tasting, smoothest ice cream or other
frozen confection.
ColdSnap is Designed to Fit Conveniently on the
Countertop

ColdSnap machines and ice cream Pods will be
available for purchase through the ColdSnap
website at
www.ColdSnap.com
and at select retail locations. Other food and
beverage categories will be introduced in 2021.

The ColdSnap Story
When nightly bedtime stories grew dull for Matt
Fonte and his two daughters, they decided to
swap magic tree house and fairytale princess
books for a more creative past-time: invention
journals. Topping the list of potential
inventions: a better ice cream machine for
at-home use without all the hassle. His
daughters envisioned a Keurig®-style
machine that could generate ice cream
immediately without a mess. This inspired Fonte,
a serial entrepreneur, who saw great potential
in the idea.
To execute this invention, Fonte formed Sigma
Phase, Corp. in October 2018 in Massachusetts,
with the singular objective to transform the way
frozen confections were produced, transported,
purchased, and enjoyed. The Company has already
been awarded 13 patents with another 40 patent
applications pending. ColdSnap has the promise
to disrupt the massive global ice cream market
with its delicious, personalized, frozen
confectionery experience, including in
geographies where the cold chain is weak and
unreliable. For more information,
demonstrations, or to discuss investment and
partnership opportunities, please see the

Christopher J. Allen, Sr., CEO of iCleanse
Bio
In August 2020,
Christopher Allen acquired iCleanse with a group
of investors to address the current pandemic and
the need to disinfect phones/tablets and other
electronic devices in large venues,
including schools and universities, and sports
and entertainment arenas.
iCleanse has an
extensive IP portfolio of UV-C and other
technologies that allows the company to grow
their product line and licensing opportunities.
In 2009, Allen
founded iDevices, the preeminent brand and
technology enablement services company in the
IoT space; where he invented the iGrill, the
first app-enabled product that had its debut in
Apple stores in November 2010. As CEO, Allen
strategically planned the company’s product and
partnership roadmap, and managed strategic
relationships, led business development and
helped to create the culture that has led to the
company to be named “One of the Best Places to
Work in Connecticut” three times. In April 2017,
Hubbell, Inc. (NYSE: HUBB) acquired the iDevices
smart home company. Allen remained with the
company as President and a proud member of the
Hubbell family of companies until August 2020.
Prior to
iDevices, Allen came from an investment
background working for over 15 years for A.G.
Edwards & Sons (now Wells Fargo Investments),
Prudential Financial, and Allstate. He serves on
the board of many organizations, including CBIA
(The Connecticut
Business & Industry Association), American
School for the Deaf, Farmington Valley Visiting
Nurse Association, among others.

CLASSIC
1986 HACKER THRILLER THE TRAPDOOR
NOW
RE-ISSUED AS AN E-BOOK
The
Trapdoor
Novel is a Trip Back in Time to the Early 1980s,
When
Personal Computers First Emerged – and So Did Hackers
What
Motivates Hackers? A “Trapdoor” is a Computer Technique that Hackers Use
for Theft
September
9, 2020, Hilo, Hawaii – Hal Glatzer’s The Trapdoor, a classic
paperback thriller from the 1980s about computer hackers and
cyber-crime, has been re-issued as an e-book. Published in mobi
(Kindle) format and epub format for tablets, smartphones, and computers,
the novel is available today from Amazon’s Kindle Store, at:
https://www.amazon.com/s?k="The+Trapdoor"+glatzer&i=digital-text&ref=nb_sb_noss
and Glatzer’s website at:
www.halglatzer.com.
The
Trapdoor
was one of the first published novels to be set in the underground
world of cyber theft and online pornography. In the book, a hacker
gets into trouble with organized crime and has to hack his way out. The
“trapdoor” title refers to a sinister technique for theft; but it also
alludes to the risk of falling into one’s own trap.
What
Motivates Hackers?
A
forerunner to today’s notorious hackers, such as “Anonymous,” the
protagonist of The Trapdoor is Joe (alias “The
Lightning”), a techie nerd who lives quietly in a small apartment,
surrounded by computers. He secretly steals money online, not just for
the money, but also to flirt with danger -- an addiction for many
hackers. “The Lightning” is drawn into a wider digital underworld of
theft and porn until he’s not safe anymore. Suddenly he has enemies that
want to kill him.
“Machine of the Year”
Progress
in computer technology was front-page news. In 1983, TIME
magazine – for the first time ever – didn’t name a “Man of the Year.”
Instead, the editors named the personal computer “Machine of the Year.”
Entrepreneurs, like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, were just getting
noticed; and magazines were launched to help people use those new
“machines.” Noisy modems slowly dialed computers over telephone lines
and data storage was limited to mere kilobytes on easily-damaged floppy
disks. But technologies were constantly surging forward, and illegal
computing activities surged right along with them. Readers of The
Trapdoor will get a glimpse of that early time, when anything seemed
possible, and the shadowy side of high-technology was just coming into
view. And readers of a certain age, who were intrigued by computers in
the ’80s, will enjoy The Trapdoor as a trip back in time.
Hal
Glatzer wrote The Trapdoor while he was an editor and writer for
the earliest computer magazines. He also wrote non-fiction books about
word processing, satellites, and telecommunications. Interviewing
technology entrepreneurs and insiders in the early ‘80s, inspired
Glatzer to write this high-tech thriller.
“At that
time,” says author Hal Glatzer, “email, cellphones, and the internet
were years away in the future. What was high-tech in 1980 looks
primitive now, but it was the state-of-the-art. And people who mastered
it could do some remarkable things with it, both legal and illegal.
Technology has evolved since those days. But as long as loners find
their inner strength to overcome bullies, this period-piece will remain
an inspiration to all.”
Availability
Originally
published as a paperback, The Trapdoor has just been re-issued as
an e-book in both the mobi format (for Kindle readers) and the epub
format (for computers, tablets, smartphones, and other devices). It is
available immediately for $4.95 from Amazon’s Kindle Store,
at: https://www.amazon.com/s?k="The+Trapdoor"+glatzer&i=digital-text&ref=nb_sb_noss

Author, Hal Glatzer
About
the Author
Hal
Glatzer was there, then. He began his writing career as a newspaper
reporter in 1970, and by the end of the decade, he was doing television
news with portable videotape equipment. That technology intrigued him,
as did another new invention: the computer word processor. So he decided
to make the fast-moving digital world of computers and
telecommunications his journalistic beat.
In 1980,
he bought his first computer: a Zenith Z-89. Using the eight-bit
Zilog Z80 microprocessor and the CP/M operating system, the computer
held 48 KB of internal memory (RAM), and used removable 5¼ inch floppy
disks that held 100 KB. That may not seem like much computing power
today, but it immediately boosted Glatzer’s productivity as a
professional writer, and he turned that expertise into his first
non-fiction book: Introduction to Word Processing (Sybex, 1981).
He
subsequently wrote two books on what was then the state-of-the-art in
global telecommunications: The Birds of Babel: Satellites For a Human
World (Sams, 1983); and Who Owns the Rainbow? Conserving the
Radio Spectrum (Sams, 1984). Glatzer was one of the founders of the
Computer Press Association, a virtual press club for fellow
writers and editors in the field. He served as its vice president, and
for six years chaired the committee that created and presented the
annual Computer Press Awards for excellence in high-tech journalism.
Glatzer
has subsequently had more mystery novels published; but his first was The Trapdoor. “Considering how far information technology has
progressed since the early ‘80s,” he says, “I want to give the computer
users of today a good idea of what life was like when the computer
revolution began, and give people like me, who were there, then, a trip
into the past. And the best way to bring that vintage paperback to
today’s tech-savvy readers is to turn it into an e-book.”

RESTORE patented AI image
restoration software will help you relive past

tips to plan a virtual reunion,

Relive
Yesterday’s Memories and Plan a Virtual Reunion
Vivid-Pix and Maureen Taylor,
The Photo Detective®, have
collaborated to put together everything you need
to hold a virtual reunion. Learn more at
https://vivid-pix.com/solutions.
“Many of us are
stuck at home, missing events that we love and
look forward to. A beloved photo from years
past, faded with time, and revived with
Vivid-Pix RESTORE makes us feel more
connected. With photos and meeting apps, we can
communicate with our families to relive history
and make new memories,” states Rick Voight, CEO,
Vivid-Pix.
“Photographs from family reunions provide
successive generations with a sense of identity,
connection, and belonging,” says Maureen Taylor,
The Photo Detective®. “Every
reunion, my husband’s family poses for a family
portrait. That’s 60 years of tradition captured
in a photographic time capsule. These images
inspire younger generations to ask questions
about those relatives.”
Family Reunion Photo (~1910) - Maureen Taylor,
The
Photo Detective®
Family Photography is Key to Maintaining Family
History
Family photos from the past are a critical
component in maintaining history for generations
to come. Gordon Clarke, Strategic Solution
Manager for the non-profit organization
FamilySearch International, the world’s
largest genealogy organization sponsored by The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
recently talked about the importance of
organizing and restoring photos to trace family
roots. Gordon said, “There’s all the photos out
there that are lost. And you look at writings on
the back of photos, albums that get destroyed by
floods, and weather, and heat. There’s just so
much valuable information; that the information
that is in people’s homes is just as important,
or even more important, than the information
that is in archives and libraries and government
record storing facilities. So it’s a natural
outgrowth to start looking at: ‘How do we help
people preserve digitally, not only the photo,
but the story surrounding the photo, the people,
the events?’”
“Photos are a return ticket to a moment
otherwise gone”
Kim S. Harrison, a Vice President of the
Phoenix, Arizona-based West Valley Genealogical
Society and formerly with Ancestry.com, believes
that the rush of feelings that come forward from
a photo is priceless. “I came across this
wonderful quote, ‘Photos are a return ticket to
a moment otherwise gone,’” Shares Kim. “I do
feel the quote sums up my feelings as I go
through boxes and boxes of old photos. It is a
passport to past memories. Extra special since
so many family members are no longer with
us. Photos are priceless!”
About Vivid-Pix®
Vivid-Pix RESTORE is the one-stop solution for family
historians, genealogists, archivists, hobbyists,
and more. Utilizing patented image science and
artificial intelligence, RESTORE instantly restores old faded photos and
documents, including scanned prints,
slides, glass plates, tintypes, letters,
journals, records, newspaper clippings, family

PHOTO REMINISCING CAN
REDUCE STRESS & DEPRESSION DURING CORONAVIRUS Vivid-Pix Celebrates May’s National Mental
Health Month & National Photo Month
Savannah, GA, April 30, 2020 –
Vivid-Pix,
www.vivid-pix.com, is celebrating
National
Mental Health Month and National Photography
Month in May by showcasing the healing power
of photos and Vivid-Pix RESTORE photo
restoration software to enhance
“Reminiscence Therapy.”
According to the
National Institutes of Health,
“Reminiscence
Therapy (RT) involves the discussion of past
activities, events and experiences with another
person or group of people, usually with the aid
of tangible prompts, such as photographs,
household and other familiar items from the
past, music, and archive sound recordings.”
To help combat COVID-19 quarantine stress,
loneliness and isolation,
Vivid-Pix will be hosting Mental Health Month
and Photography Month classes and specials
throughout May. These free and low-cost
classes include
dementia, Alzheimer’s,
photo organization, photo restoration, and
genealogy -- available at:
www.vivid-pix.com/education. In addition,
during the month of May, a 20% discount is
available on Vivid-Pix RESTORE software
when using this special offer:
www.vivid-pix.com/reminisce.
Value of Pictures to Reduce Stress
Ever look at a photo prompting a memory and a
smile to flash across your mind and face? It’s a
physiological reaction. When looking at photos,
cortisol levels are lowered, and this reduces
stress. According to
WebMD, the hormone cortisol manages the
body’s stress levels. If you’re constantly under
stress, cortisol can derail your body’s most
important functions, leading to health problems,
including anxiety and depression. With the
psychological impact of social distancing,
missing holidays with loved ones, isolation,
fear of sickness, and financial issues from
closures, reminiscing about cherished memories
is more important than ever.
Experts Use Photography Reminiscence Therapy to
Help Depression, Dementia, & Alzheimer’s
Experts have been using Reminiscence Therapy for
years to help depression, dementia, and
Alzheimer’s. As reported by
NPR, “Researchers find that dementia
patients who engage in activities such as
gathering photographs and talking about family
see improvements in their quality of life and
are less agitated,” said Shirley Wang, NPR.
Europe-based
Researchgate reported that Reminiscence
Therapy is an effective way to increase
self-esteem and decrease behavioral disturbances
in those with dementia, and their research
proved that photography was the best therapy.
“Eighty percent of the subjects (12 out of 15)
showed more attention to their personalised
reminiscence photo video than to the other two
types of TV shows, thus suggesting the
effectiveness of personalised reminiscence photo
videos for reminiscence intervention.”
Taking a daily photo also improved well-being
through self-care, community interaction, and
the potential for reminiscence. According to
ScienceDaily.com, U.K.
researchers said it’s “an active process of
meaning making, in which a new conceptualisation
of wellbeing emerges.” “[If] I’m ever feeling
down or something, it’s nice to be able to
scroll back and see good memories. You know, the
photos I’ve taken will have a positive memory
attached to it even if it’s something as simple
as I had a really lovely half an hour for lunch
sitting outside and was feeling really relaxed,”
said a study participant.
Vivid-Pix helps people relive photos and
documents by connecting/re-connecting with their
most treasured memories and their roots. “At this time of social isolation, the
benefits of reliving cherished memories are
greater than ever. Study after study highlight
the emotional, mental and physical health
benefits that looking at photos provide to the
young and old alike,” said Rick Voight, CEO of
Vivid-Pix. “So, if you want to reduce stress,
pull out your photo albums!”
Vivid-Pix Photo & Genealogy Education Bring Back
Memories
In addition to many free classes, fee-based
classes are streamed live, recorded, and posted
to Vimeo for $1.99 (30-day rental). Recordings
will be uploaded within one or two days after
live events. Vivid-Pix’s online Genealogy
Classes are held at 8 PM ET at:
https://vivid-pix.com/education and are also

CLASSKICK
ANNOUNCES FREE REAL-TIME VIRTUAL HOME SCHOOL
LEARNING APP FOR CORONAVIRUS AFFECTED SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT U.S.
COVID-19 Pandemic Causes Closure of Thousands of
U.S. Schools Over 3,000 Schools Signed Up for Classkick in
One Weekend Alone but Couldn’t Pay -- Classkick Now Free for Coronavirus Affected
Schools to Continue Children’s Education Children Learn from Home with Teacher’s
Real-Time One-on-One Private Attention &
Feedback for Superior Education
Chicago, IL, March 23, 2020 --
Classkick,
www.classkick.com, the leading virtual
learning app that shows teachers in real-time
exactly what
students are thinking and learning,
announced today that they are
immediately
offering the Classkick Pro School Membership
for free for Coronavirus COVID-19
affected schools (a $1499
value).
Because of the widespread U.S. school closures,
in
one weekend alone in March 2020, over 3,000 new
schools signed up for Classkick’s remote
learning app, with over 1,000 schools unable
to pay immediately. With many more schools
expected to close soon and children’s education
at stake, Classkick is offering Classkick Pro
School for free for all schools in need.
To sign up, go to: https://classkick.com/coronavirus.
How do Teachers Continue to Teach Students
Remotely and Maintain High Quality Education?
The pandemic and closure of thousands of schools
across the U.S. has thrown teachers a curveball.
How do they teach students remotely and maintain
a high level of education with learning time
vital and unreplaceable? Classkick ensures that
students receive the best possible distance
education during this unprecedented time, so
students don’t lose years of education.
Classkick connects students and their school
work to their educational advocates, merging
students, teachers, and parents together for a
true virtual learning experience. Available for
home or in-school virtual learning on iPads,
Chromebooks, and Mac and PC computers,
Classkick lets teachers, using any type of
content (drawings, text, images, audio, links,
videos,
chat, and GIFs.)
see and instantly respond to exactly what their
students are thinking and working on in
real-time. Students can ask for help
privately, avoiding unwanted peer stigma, and
teachers can pop into student work online to
provide ideas, encouragement, support, and
correction -- right on the student’s Classkick
screen. Students can give even each other peer
help and feedback!
Millions of Students World-wide Learn at their
Own Pace – Classkick is High Rated by Net
Promoter Score
Millions of students around the world are
currently using Classkick to learn, from kindergarteners drawing pictures or recording
their voice explanations to middle schoolers
practicing literary skills and foreign languages
to high school seniors doing calculus or
physics. Because students see feedback
immediately, they learn faster, enjoy
learning, and are engaged. With Classkick,
kids can continue their class study at home
every day feeling supported, and excited to
learn. Learning is transformed from a chore
into an intrinsic and fun experience. As one
student says, “I get many more ‘at-bats’ than
before, and I have a coach [the teacher]
always by my side.” Classkick is ranked high by
teachers and students alike, with a superior Net Promoter Score in the high 70s, higher
than other edtech software and internet products
whose numbers are typically in the 20-60 point
range.
Calculus Class - Teachers Can View the Entire
Class Working in Real-Time
Equitable Education for All Students
“We envisioned a world with increased learning
outcomes and equitable education for all
students,” said Andrew Rowland, Founder & CEO,
Classkick. “Research shows that the number one
driver of student learning and development is
great feedback. As former teachers ourselves, we
have experienced how challenging it can be to
reach every student at the right learning
moment. We built Classkick to eliminate
barriers, show teachers real-time student work,
and pinpoint the most urgent needs so students
can quickly learn and develop.”
Teachers love Classkick because it allows them
to make their classroom paperless, see students
working in real-time, and support students with
just-in-time feedback. Mrs. Melinda Pecina-Bernal,
a high school biology teacher at Fowler High
School in Fowler, California, said,
“Thank
you so much! After the flood of emotions and
panic as to how I could keep my students
learning and growing even if I am not there
subsided, I set off to find amazing resources to
supplement the resources I already had. I had
never heard of Classkick, but it was recommended
by my son’s second grade teacher. After looking
into it, I was impressed and then shared with
some of my fellow classroom teacher friends.
Thank you and your team for understanding and
reacting by working around the clock to make
sure, like us teachers, to only want the best
for our students, and they will be able to have
just that. It takes a nation or even a world to
help grow our next generation!”

corrections, and suggestions from teachers in
real-time as if they were in the classroom.

About Classkick
Based in Chicago,
Illinois, Classkick
is the easiest to use, most pedagogically
focused tool for the classrooms of tomorrow.
Classkick is used internationally in over
100 countries to help
teachers teach and learners learn. With an
average class session time 200% greater than
other products, Classkick is consistently rated
by Net Promoter Score in the high 70s (most
technology and edtech are rated between 20-60).
Originally created for brick and mortar schools,
Classkick saw an uptick in virtual school
customers. Virtual teachers had fallen in love
with the product because it made their students
feel supported the way they would like to be in
in-person classrooms with real-time visuals of
all the content students were working on.
Classkick was founded by tech whiz Andrew
Rowland, a former high school math and robotics
teacher from Chicago’s West Side, who studied
computer science at Berkeley and worked at
Google and YouTube TV as a Partner Technology
Manager. Rowland left Google with a hunger to
continue impacting student learning on a daily
basis and help all the hard-working teachers in
their quest to assist students to achieve.
That’s how Classkick began. For more

"Give your pics (and documents) the Vivid-Pix
Fix! You click the mouse – We do the rest."
Rick Voight, CEO, Vivid-Pix, is a lifelong
snapshooter and photography visionary in the
imaging business for decades with leading
photography companies, such as Hewlett-Packard
and Kodak. “Rick, Randy, and a few excellent
people” created Vivid-Pix 8 years ago with a
vision to make it fast, easy, and affordable for
consumers to get and share better images,
restoring decades-old photos to bring back
precious memories that were thought to be
long-gone. Vivid-Pix’s patented, AI
software is in use in over 100 countries,

librarians, genealogists, historians, and more.
Their software restores a slogan created a
century ago by George Eastman, the founder of

that revolutionized photography in America.

ROBOSENSE 125-LASER BEAM
SOLID-STATE LIDAR: RS-LiDAR-M1 IS OFFICIALLY ON SALE PRICED AT $1,898 World’s First Smart LiDAR Sensor Will Be
Demonstrated at CES 2020 with On-Vehicle Public Road Test
January 2, 2020, Shenzhen, China --
RoboSense
http://www.robosense.ai,
the world’s leading autonomous driving LiDAR
perception solution provider, announced
today that the solid-state LiDAR
RS-LiDAR-M1Simple (Simple Sensor
Version) is now ready for customer
delivery, priced at $1,898. The new
RS-LiDAR-M1Simple is less than half the size
of the previous version, with dimensions of
4.3” x 1.9” x 4.7” (110mm x 50mm x 120mm), and
is equipped with enhanced hardware performance
virtually equal to the serial production version
provided to OEMs. The main body design of this
automotive-grade solid-state LiDAR is finalized
and ready for shipment.
In addition, RoboSense will demonstrate
the
world’s first smart solid-state LiDAR, the
RS-LiDAR-M1Smart (Smart Sensor Version), at CES
2020 in Las Vegas, Booth 6138, LVCC North Hall
from Jan 7-10, 2020 with an on-vehicle public
road test. Products will be available for
ordering by key customers. The RS-LiDAR-M1Smart
main body is embedded with an AI perception
algorithm that fully takes advantage of LiDAR’s
potential to transform conventional 3D LiDAR
sensors to a full data analysis and
comprehension system, outputting semantic-level
structured environment information in real-time
to be used directly for autonomous vehicle
decision making.
The RS-LiDAR-M1 family inherits the performance
advantages of traditional mechanical LiDAR,
simultaneously also taking into consideration
requirements for the mass production of
vehicles. The RS-LiDAR-M1 family meets every
automotive-grade requirement, including
intelligence, low cost, stability, simplified
structure and small size, vehicle body design
friendliness, and algorithm processed
semantic-level perception output results.
“The RS-LiDAR-M1 is an optimal choice for the
serial production of self-driving cars, far
superior to mechanical LiDAR. The sooner
solid-state LiDAR is used, the sooner production
will be accelerated to mass-market levels,” said
Mark Qiu, RoboSense COO.
RS-LiDAR-M1 Family Features:
l
125 laser beams with exceptional performance:
the RS-LiDAR-M1 has a field of view of 120°*25°,
which is the MEMS solid-state LiDAR’s largest
field of view among released products worldwide.
RoboSense uses 905nm lasers with low cost,
automotive grade and small size instead of
expensive 1550nm lasers. At the same time,
RoboSense continuously breaks ranging ability
limits to 150m at 10% NIST target, which is also
MEMS solid-state LiDAR’s longest detection
range. The frame rate of RS-LiDAR-M1 is
increased to 15Hz, which can reduce the impact
of point cloud distortion caused by target
movement.
l
World’s smallest MEMS solid-state LiDAR:
the size has been reduced by half, one-tenth the
size of conventional 64-beam mechanical LiDAR.
The RS-LiDAR-M1 can be easily embedded in the
car’s body while still maintaining the vehicle’s
appearance intact.
l
Reduced parts for lower cost, shorter production
time, and large-scale production capacity:
provides high performance, low cost, high
stability, manufacturability, and a high degree
of integration because of its unique patented
optical module. Parts have reduced from
hundreds to dozens in comparison to traditional
mechanical LiDARs, greatly reducing the cost
and shortening production time -- achieving a
breakthrough in manufacturability. The
coin-sized module processes the
optical-mechanical system results to meet
autonomous driving performance and mass
production requirements.
l
Modular design:
the scalability and layout flexibility of the
optical module lay the foundation for subsequent
MEMS LiDAR products and support the
customization of products for different
application cases.
l
Stable and reliable:
the RS-LiDAR-M1 uses VDA6.3 as the basis for
project management, and the development of all
modules undergoes a complete V model closed
loop. RoboSense fully implemented IATF16949
quality management system and ISO26262
functional safety standards, combining ISO16750
test requirement and other automotive-grade
reliability specifications to verify the
RS-LiDAR-M1 series of products. MEMS mirror is
the core component in RS-LiDAR-M1. According to
the AEC-Q100 standard, combining the
characteristics of MEMS micro-mirror, a total of
ten verification test groups are designed
covering temperature, humidity, packaging
process, electromagnetic compatibility,
mechanical vibration and shock, life-time, and
others. The cumulative test time for all test
samples has now exceeded 100,000 hours. The
RS-LiDAR-M1 uses 905nm lasers to achieve
long-distance and also meets Class 1 laser
safety. The longest-running prototype has been
tested for more than 300 days, while the total
road test mileage exceeds 150,000 kilometers
with no degradation found in various testing
scenarios.
l
All-weather:
In Vienna, Austria, the RS-LiDAR-M1 was tested
for rain and fog under different light and wind
speed conditions. The test results prove that
the RS-LiDAR-M1 has met the standards, and the
final mass-produced RS-LiDAR-M1 will adapt to
all climatic and working conditions.
l
Minimal wear and tear:
as a solid-state LiDAR, the RS-LiDAR-M1 has
minimal wear and tear vs. movable mechanical
structures, eliminating potential optoelectronic
device failures due to mechanical rotation. The
characteristics of solid-state provide a
reasonable internal layout, heat dissipation,
and stability -- a leap in quality as compared
to mechanical LiDAR.
The RS-LiDAR-M1Smart is a comprehensive system
with sensor hardware, AI point cloud algorithm,
and chipsets, which provides an end-to-end
customer environment perception solution.
RoboSense’s powerful AI perception algorithm
injects the sensor with structured
semantic-level comprehensive information,
focusing on the perception of moving objects.
The RS-LiDAR-M1Smart Features:
·
Adapts to complex traffic conditions.
·
Supports multiple driving scenarios.
·
Supports dense traffic flow, such as mixing
pedestrians and vehicles in intersections during
peak hours.
·
Comprehensive perception of a wide range of
dynamic, static, and background objects.
·
Achieves semantic level prediction for 3D point
clouds.
·
Handles the challenges caused by two-wheel
vehicles (motorcycles, bicycles, etc.) and
pedestrians who do not follow traffic rules.
·
Over-segmentation and under-segmentation are
fixed based on the clustering algorithm. The
robustness against sparse point clouds ensures
the integrity of object detection.
·
Outputs two redundant channels of data: the
original point cloud and the object list. The
two channels of data are redundant to provide
vehicles with a wide range of sensing results,
including dynamic and static and inside and
outside the road.
Availability and Pricing
The hardware-only version of RS-LiDAR-M1 is
currently available for customers, with a retail
price of $1898. RoboSense will deliver current
orders from key customers and upgrade the
production line in Q1 2020, completing retail

Las Vegas, NV, January 2,
2020 -- Sensoria Health
www.sensoriahealth.com,
the leading developer of
Internet of Things (IoT) for
the Human Body, Internet of
Me (IoMe), and AI software
solutions that improve
patient’s lives, will be
announcing next week at CES
2020 the first end-to-end
knee replacement surgery
experience, the
Sensoria Health
Remote Patient Rehab System,
featuring the new
Sensoria Smart Knee Brace,
Sensoria Sock v2.0 embedded
with textile pressure
sensors
and
Sensoria® Core
microelectronics, Remote
Monitoring Cloud and Mobile
Apps.
The Sensoria Health Rehab
System monitors knee range
of motion, patient balance,
repetitions, adherence and
other biometric and
physiological parameters
(i.e. KOOS score) proven to
reduce rehab time, pain,
risk of requiring additional
corrective surgeries, and
increase patient mobility.
Made of soft neoprene, the
new Sensoria Health
Smart Knee Brace can
baseline the patient before
surgery, and along with the
washable smart socks,
remotely monitors post-op
rehab for optimal recovery
time and results.

Health Smart Knee Brace
By 2030, 11 Million
Americans will Have Knee or
Hip Replacement Surgery
According to the
National Institutes of
Health, at the end of
this decade, by
2030, about 11
million Americans will have
hip or knee replacement
surgery, making them the
nation’s most common
elective surgical
procedures. Researchers
attribute the increase in
joint replacement surgeries
to aging baby boomers,
higher rates of diagnosis,
treatments for arthritis,
demands for improved
mobility, and younger
individuals undergoing these
procedures, coupled with
improvements in life
expectancy. Most patients
will outlive their implants
and require expensive
revision surgeries. The
majority of the individuals
(70%) who have undergone
total hip or knee
replacement surgery are
alive today.
“In 2020, one million
Americans will go through
Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
surgery. We are excited to
partner with REJOINT to
provide our new Remote
Patient Rehab System and
help resolve a true quality
of life issue. Up until now,
TKR procedures did not offer
personalization and were
often subject to side
effects, such as pain,
re-hospitalization, and
reduced patient mobility,”
said Davide Vigano, CEO,
Sensoria Health.
“It is estimated
that over 500,000 adults
living with knee implants
have undergone revision
surgeries. Even as the
number of knee replacements
and corrective surgeries
have increased, safety
assurances to protect
patients have remained
limited. With Sensoria
Health’s Remote Patient
Rehab System, patients
undergoing TKR surgery will
have better surgical
outcomes, shorter rehab and
recovery times and a more
vibrant life with less pain
and increased mobility.”
Sensoria Health Remote

more.
·
Washable, rechargeable, and
reusable.
·
Clinically tested and

Formula One Racing-derived
additive manufacturing
techniques, built in Bologna
(Italy), close to the
Ferrari and Lamborghini
headquarters.
The new prosthetic knee is
undergoing clinical
validation at Humanitas in
Milan (Italy) by Prof.
Maurilio Marcacci, and will
be available in 2021 in
Europe and the United
States.
Each REJOINT knee will come
bundled with the Sensoria
Patient Rehab System to
provide patients and
clinicians and end-to-end
personalized experience and
reduce time to full
recovery.
Software and Sensor Infused
IoT Footwear, Apparel, &

September 18, 2019, Folsom, California —
RocketLife,
www.RocketLife.com,
award-winning developer of breakthrough visual
technologies, today announced RocketLife
CircleLight with 3D gesture control,
a new kind of interactive wall light
that produces beautiful warm whites, rich
colors, and sophisticated motion effects.
Elegantly designed, computer-machined
from aluminum Poly-Metal and high-tensile
architectural polymer,
CircleLight is 24 inches wide, one inch thin,
and filled with magic. Hang it like a painting
and choose a theme. CircleLight’s 200 HDR (high
dynamic range) LEDs transform any space into a
beautiful, flowing lightscape. Layers of color
blend, flow, and sparkle to tell a story,
creating everything from gorgeous, warm whites
to motion effects like Desert
Sunset, Shooting Stars, and Modern Art.
CircleLight’s advanced 3D gesture controls let
you easily change the look of any room with
the wave of a hand or a tap on a

Designing the Future of Lighting
RocketLife CEO Daniel Kaye says, “With our deep
experience in visual effects, we saw a huge
opportunity in the lighting world. Typical
designer lights provide just one static color.
We set out to make a beautiful, dynamic light
that produced anything from rich shades of warm
white to dramatic atmospheres that tell a story.”
RocketLife is Transforming a Wide Range of
Industries, from Architectural lighting to
Wearable Fashion
Like all RocketLife products, CircleLight is
designed for creativity. The system includes the
same LightDesigner software that RocketLife’s
in-house artists use to create the effects,
plus a simple smartphone app anyone can
use to personalize lighting. RocketLife’s new
Bluetooth animation processor drives the LEDs.
CircleLight is built on the RocketLife Light
platform, a powerful combination of
Bluetooth hardware and graphic timeline software
that enables designers to build interactive
lighting products without software programming
or hardware development. Users draw virtual LEDs
on a photo of their project, add layers of
visual effects to the timeline, and can even
integrate external sensors
and other peripherals.
RocketLife Light systems are already
transforming a wide range of industries, from
architectural lighting to wearable fashion (see
videos at
www.rocketlife.com.)

LightMobile (iOS/Android).

BEBOP SENSORS WINS U.S. AIR FORCE
CONTRACT
SBIR AWARD
BeBop Sensors’ New Forte
Data Glove Enterprise Edition will be Used for
Hands-On Virtual Reality Lockheed C-130 Airplane
Radio Training Simulations for MOTAR
(Maintenance Operations & Training Augmented
Reality)
September 17, 2019,
Berkeley, CA – BeBop Sensors
www.bebopsensors.com,
the leader in smart fabric sensor technology,
announced today that it has won the SBIR (Small
Business Innovation Research) Award from the
U.S. Air Force for BeBop Sensor’s new
award-winning Forte Data Glove Enterprise
Edition, to be deployed by the U.S. Airforce
MOTAR (Maintenance Operations and Training
Augmented Reality) Unit for advanced airplane VR
training simulations. The MOTAR Unit, which
builds VR and AR solutions for internal U.S.
Air Force groups, was tasked with finding
technology to enable advanced VR hand
interactions for Lockheed C-130 Hercules
military aircraft radio training simulations.
The BeBop Sensors gloves were selected because
of their powerful haptics that virtually “feel”
interactions with a 6 millisecond response time,
ease of use, all-day battery life, and
ultra-comfortable design.
SMSgt Powell Crider,
U.S. Airforce MOTAR Unit, said, “BeBop’s Forte
Data Gloves will let airman concentrate on
learning the task at hand, not learning how to
use VR controls.” The Air Force Research
Laboratory (AFRL) and the Air Force’s newly
formed innovation arm (AFWERX) are streamlining
the SBIR process to speed up the experience,
broaden the pool of potential applicants, and
decrease bureaucratic overhead. Since 2018, with
SBIR 18.2, the Air Force has begun offering
special SBIR topics that are faster, leaner and
open to a broader range of solutions.
“Our Forte Data
Glove Enterprise Edition is ideal for training
applications using VR,” said Keith McMillen,
Founder and CEO, BeBop Sensors. “We are honored
to be chosen as the supplier to the U.S. Air
Force.”

OVER 1,700
PEOPLE SIGN PETITION TO ALLOW LEASHED DOGS AT
HUNTINGTON’S POPULAR HECKSCHER PARK
News 12 TV
Features Petition with Doug Geed:
http://longisland.news12.com/story/40997229/petition-calls-for-dogs-to-be-allowed-in-heckscher-park
There are No
Leashed Dog Parks in Huntington Village, Where
Families and their Dogs can Listen to Music,
Attend Events, and Performances
Petition at:
https://www.change.org/p/li-dog-let-s-make-huntington-heckscher-park-a-dog-friendly-park-allow-leashed-friendly-dogs
September 9, 2019,
Huntington, NY – The “Let’s Make
Huntington Heckscher Park a Dog-Friendly Park!”
petition at
Change.org at:
https://www.change.org/p/li-dog-let-s-make-huntington-heckscher-park-a-dog-friendly-park-allow-leashed-friendly-dogs
was created last week to allow leashed dogs
at Huntington’s popular Heckscher Park, and has
already generated over 1,700 signatures.
Heckscher Park is a local treasure, with
concerts, festivals, and other events held there
each year. But outdated laws have prohibited
Huntington’s dog owners from walking their
leashed dogs there, making the park’s pathways
virtually empty when there are no events --
a waste of tax payer money.
The park’s pathways
are also covered each day with goose dropping
from the geese that run free in the park,
requiring daily cleaning.
HuntingtonNow.com and Patch.com
recently covered the petition, alerted to
the issue through the
Huntington Matters Community Forum
on Facebook, where Huntingtonians had spirited
discussions about the petition to change town
code to allow leashed dogs at Heckscher Park.
“Huntington’s dog
owners want to walk their leashed dogs in
Heckscher Park legally, without fear of
retribution. In October, scores of dog owners
with their leashed dogs will descend upon
Heckscher Park for the annual
Long Island Fall Festival, unaware
that dogs aren’t allowed. Can we change this
outdated town code regulation by then to allow
dogs to be at peace in the park? We owe it to
our beloved dogs to try,” said Karen Thomas, the
creator of the petition, and a lifelong resident
of Huntington Township.
Heckscher Park Can
Also be a Dog-Friendly Park Like Northport
Harbor Park
There are currently
no leashed dog parks in Huntington village
similar to Northport, where families and
dogs can listen to music, attend events, and
performances. Northport Harbor Park has
allowed leashed dogs for years and is a very
busy park with happy dog owners walking their
dogs, socializing with other dog owners, and
enjoying the events and music. The addition of
leashed dogs provides a family friendly
environment, increases tourism, good will,
charm, and publicity. LI-Dog, the
nonprofit
advocate for dog parks and trails, said,
“The leashed dogs policy works well in
Northport, not to mention thousands of other
busy community parks around the country, and
there’s no reason to think Heckscher Park should
be different.” Ginny
Munger Kahn, President of LiDog, who signed the
petition, said, “It’s
time to let Huntington dog owners enjoy this
wonderful public recreational resource just like
every other person in town. AND allowing
people to walk leashed dogs in the park will
address the disgusting problem with goose poop.”
In the July 2017
issue of The
Long Islander, Huntington’s previous
Supervisor, Frank Petrone, said the Town would
be monitoring parks closely to make sure people
were cleaning up after their dogs and keeping
their dogs on-leash. He said that if that
initiative was successful, town officials would
consider expanding the policy to more areas
(such as Heckscher Park). Leashed dogs in
Heckscher will keep Huntington’s tax paying
citizens, their families, and their dogs healthy
and encourage tourism and businesses in the
Huntington area.
Highlights from
Petition Signers’ Comments on the Leashed Dog
Petition:
·
Christine Sweeney, Huntington Station: “Dogs are
walked there anyway, let them be ‘legal.’ I’m
sure the geese leave more droppings than the
dogs. So many people love to walk there, let
them walk with their dog, people friendly dogs!”
·
Loretta Milanese, Centerport: “Northport Park
which is in TOH has demonstrated consistently
that dog owners can be responsible and dogs can
coexist in a park environment provided they are
leashed at all times and waste is picked up. I
say it’s worth at least a trial period.”
·
Megan Sheppard, Huntington Station: “I no longer
go there since they don’t allow dogs. Real
shame.”
·
Rowan Daray, Sound Beach: “I work in Huntington
and for years have hung out in town and Hecksher
Park. I just got a dog last summer and was
deeply saddened to find out Hecksher is not
leashed dog friendly. Sadly this fact has
stopped me from hanging out in Huntington this
spring/summer. Please open Hecksher to leashed
dogs! Make this an inclusive community.”
·
Michele Lauer-Bader, Huntington: “Heckscher Park
should have the same regulations as the other
parks in the TOH.”
·
Tracy Hermer, Freeport: “I love seeing friendly
dogs at parks during walks. Leashed trained dogs
with their responsible humans should be able to
enjoy walks in the community together.”
·
Rosaria Marchetta, Huntington Station: “I have
lived here 21 years and hate how not
dog-friendly our town has become.”
·
Jacqueline Cafaro, Huntington: “Huntington
Village is dog friendly, why not make its parks
dog friendly too.”
·
Bonnie Braun, Huntington Station: “Of course,
leashed dogs belong in a public park with their
people.”
·
Gail White, Oceanside: “People walking leashed
dogs in a great park is seen as family friendly
and an invitation to prospective residents.”

ROBOSENSE TEAMS UP WITH PARTNERS TO LAUNCH SMART SENSOR
SYSTEMS AT SHANGHAI AUTO SHOW
ROBOSENSE RELEASES TWO NEW HIGH-RESOLUTION LIDAR PRODUCTS:
RS-Bpearl Super Wide Angle Blind-Spot LiDAR & RS-Ruby Super
High-Resolution LiDAR
April
18, 2019, Shanghai, China – RoboSense (Suteng Innovation
Technology Co., Ltd)
www.robosense.ai
announced today at the Shanghai Auto Show that it has teamed up with
partners Horizon Robotics, Cainiao Network, Sensible 4, and
AutoX to launch the Smart Sensor System (SSS) designed for
four key smart transportation vehicle applications: autonomous passenger cars, low-speed autonomous vehicles, high-speed
RoboTaxis, and V2R (Vehicle to Road infrastructure). The
RoboSense Smart Sensor System combines new LiDAR hardware, AI point
cloud algorithms, and an IC design for a one stop Smart Sensor
System strategy that collects and interprets environment
information, distinguishing itself from traditional lower resolution
LiDAR hardware suppliers.
At the
Shanghai Auto Show, RoboSense announced two new LiDAR products
that are integral to the Smart Sensor System: the RS-Bpearl,
a super wide angle blind-spot LiDAR, and the RS-Ruby, a super
high-resolution LiDAR. In addition, RoboSense also unveiled its
final mass production-ready design of its award-winning RS-LiDAR-M1 automotive grade solid-state LiDAR smart sensor
system with embedded perception algorithms, which will be mass
produced in 2021.
Smart
Sensor System
The
new Smart Sensor System combines the award winning RoboSense
RS-LiDAR-M1 MEMS based smart sensor with the RS-Bpearl super wide
angle blind-spot LiDAR; RS-Ruby super high-resolution LiDAR; and
RoboSense AI perception algorithms. Because of its high integration
levels, high performance, high reliability, easy production, and low
cost, RoboSense chose MEMS technology and 905nm lasers for its
revolutionary solid-state LiDAR system. RoboSense’s first “pre”
version RS-LiDAR-M1Pre debuted at CES 2018, and at CES 2019, the
upgraded RS-LiDAR-M1 won awards for its world-leading wide 120° FOV,
long 200m range, and AI algorithm innovations. The new RS-LiDAR-M1
now meets OEM requirements and delivers safety for L3+ autonomous
passenger cars, providing highway applications for TJP (Traffic Jam
Pilot), and HWP (Highway Pilot).
RoboSense & Horizon Robotics Create Smart Chips for LiDAR
Available in 2021, the final mass production version of the
RoboSense RS-LiDAR-M1 for OEMs will be a smart sensor.
RoboSense and Horizon Robotics have reached an initial intention of
cooperation to build customized chips for the LiDAR environment
perception algorithm: the RS-LiDAR-Algorithms. These algorithms will
be integrated into the IC and embedded in the LiDAR hardware. The
RS-LiDAR-M1 will provide instantaneous 3D point cloud data
interpretation and output target level environment perception
results in real-time to autonomous vehicles. “Algorithms require an
independent ECU for the operation. OEMs must include algorithms for
consumer safety by integrating these algorithms into the sensor’s
hardware. The RS-LiDAR-M1 is the perfect hardware and software
integrated system and data ‘interpreter’ for these needs,” said
RoboSense COO Mark Qiu.
RoboSense & Cainiao Network Launch New LiDAR Perception Solution for
Mass Produced Unmanned Low-Speed Inexpensive Vehicles without Blind
Spots Using RoboSense RS-Bpearl
Unmanned low-speed vehicles are the
pioneers of autonomous driving, used in a wide variety of unmanned
applications, including inspections, security, cleaning, delivery,
and minibuses. Previously, these unmanned vehicles used single laser
beam LiDAR, which delivered unsatisfactory environment perception
because of blind spots caused by the limitations of vertical FOV.
RoboSense has teamed with Alibaba’s Cainiao Network to produce the
new Smart Sensor System for unmanned low-speed vehicles with a
virtual blind spot-free super wide-angle LiDAR: the RS-Bpearl.
The RS-Bpearl has a super wide FOV of 360°×90°, within the detection
range of 30m (10%) for a tiny 10cm blind spot. The compact size of
the sensor makes it easy to be applied to the side of the vehicle
body to fully detect the vehicle’s surroundings, including blind
spots. The RS-Bpearl’s ground-breaking modular design also
dramatically reduces cost while adding the ability for flexible
customization.
RoboSense & AutoX to Demo New RoboTaxi Environment Perception
Solution Using RS-Ruby & RS-Bpearl LiDAR
High-speed RoboTaxis urgently need
LiDAR with a higher vertical resolution to achieve a longer
detection range. RoboSense’s new 128 beam LiDAR: the RS-Ruby
has a three times higher 0.1° resolution and a three times longer
detection range as compared with the previous version RS-LiDAR-32.
RoboSense’s new Smart Sensor System for RoboTaxis provides an
environment perception solution that employs one RS-Ruby LiDAR as
the core sensor on top of the vehicle to cover the 360° overall
perception, and two RS-Bpearl LiDARs on the sides of the car’s hood
to detect blind spots. Together with RoboSense’s smart perception
algorithms, this solution provides a complete long range perception
that improves the safety of RoboTaxis.
V2R
(Vehicle to Road infrastructure)
V2R
“Vehicle to Road” systems (road-side perception systems) allow
vehicles to work with road conditions to coordinate and optimize the
vehicle’s driving path, improving safety and road efficiency.
RoboSense provides system solutions that combine LiDAR sensors and
perception algorithms together with V2R systems, delivering
autonomous vehicles with a birds-eye view of the road and traffic.
The system extends the vehicle’s vision to help cars deal with
difficult road conditions.
RoboSense & Sensible 4 Partner to Create Cold-Resistant Self-Driving
Shuttle Bus
RoboSense partnered with Sensible 4 to launch
the
world’s first autonomous driving
shuttle
bus for all weather conditions, the
GACHA.
Equipped with RoboSense’s advanced cold-resistant
16-beam mechanical LiDAR
environment perception system that operates in temperatures as low
as 30°C (-22°F),
which previously would
incapacitate
components, RoboSense’s all-weather LiDAR works on snow and ice
covered roads
in harsh winter and other severe weather conditions. RoboSense and
Finland-based Sensible 4
will continue to collaborate deeper on future autonomous driving
applications.

Christopher Hartshorn, PhD, Program Director, National Cancer Institute
(NCI) National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Topic:
Medical Wearables for Remote Patient Monitoring Applications
Cancer
patients disconnected from resources at intensive cancer centers face
challenges beyond the disease. These patient populations include both
ones in rural communities, as well as populations who have access
hindered via disability, transportation, or time. This “last mile”
problem of healthcare delivery is becoming more tractable than before
with modern broadband connectivity and sensors. The talk will discuss
the major barriers from the patient and clinical workflow/integration
perspectives, as well as synergistic efforts across NCI divisions and
other agencies attempting to enable these tools for clinical decision

Gary
Shapiro, President and CEO, Consumer Technology Association (CTA)
Topic: How
Technology Innovation in Healthcare Will Drive Down Costs
Technology
presents an opportunity to dramatically improve our quality of life and
slash healthcare costs that plague our nation. However, our healthcare
system does not embrace technology as an alternative to drugs yet. The
data from wearable sensors and monitors can promote wellness and cut
down on costly doctor visits. Doctors, patients and regulators have a
role to play in bringing down healthcare costs. With the right policies
in place and wider adoption of innovative technologies, our country can
go a long way toward promoting preventive care and easing the burden on
our healthcare system. Full abstract at:
http://www.medwearablesconference.com/speakers.html#gary_shapiro.

ROBOSENSE PROVIDES LIDAR TO GACHA -- FIRST AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SHUTTLE BUS FOR ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS
CO-DEVELOPED BY MUJI & SENSIBLE 4 Before GACHA, Autonomous Cars Operated Only in Ideal Weather
Conditions RoboSense’s LiDAR “Sees” a 3D World, Even in Finland’s Snow &
Extreme Temperatures Reaching -30°C (-22° F)

March
14, 2019, Shenzhen, China – RoboSense
http://www.robosense.ai, a leader in LiDAR perception technology
solutions and CES 2019 Innovation Award Honoree, announced today
that it has provided cold-resistant all-weather LiDAR for
the
world’s first autonomous driving
shuttle
bus for all weather conditions --
GACHA.
GACHA is equipped with RoboSense’s
advanced cold-resistant
16-beam mechanical LiDAR
environment perception system to operate vehicles in harsh winter
and other severe weather conditions.
The autonomous shuttle bus robo-taxi GACHA was designed in
collaboration with Finnish autonomous driving company Sensible 4,
who
provided superior software for positioning, navigation, and obstacle
detection; Japanese company MUJI, who provided excellent
expertise in design and user experience;
and Chinese company RoboSense, who provided advanced cold
resistant LiDAR.
Environment Perception is Huge Task in Extreme Weather Conditions
Environment perception is a huge task facing autonomous vehicle
providers who require operation in all-weather conditions. Under
extreme weather conditions, the performance of critical sensors,
such as LiDARs and cameras, are severely impacted. Low temperatures,
such as those in Finland, where winter temperatures can reach as low
as -30°C (-22°F), can
incapacitate
the performance of semiconductor components, while snow and ice
covered roads essentially cripple the image algorithms’ ability to
determine abstract environment information. In addition, on an
extremely cold day, the motor of a multi-layered LiDAR might not
even start-up, as well as causing detection accuracy and ranging
performance to be diminished. Under these circumstances, RoboSense’s
new cold-resistant LiDAR is essential. RoboSense’s cold-resistant
LiDAR “sees” a 3D world through emitting and receiving lasers
pulses, with point cloud algorithms that accurately recognize
obstacles, even in snow and ice. Therefore, LiDAR is the
most important sensor when it comes to bringing autonomous driving
technology to extremely cold environments.

“When it comes to the GACHA project, engineers from both sides,
through close and efficient cooperation, made it possible to let the
whole LiDAR system operate steadily in the bitterly code weather in
Finland,” said Mark Qiu, COO, RoboSense.
GACHA Robot Bus Fleet Deployed in Finland and Other Countries
RoboSense will be joining Sensible 4 on their first GACHA bus fleet
deployment in April
for use
on public roads,
as well as
future projects in
various cities in Finland and abroad.
“I’m pleased that our product has helped Sensible 4 and MUJI’s
jointly designed GACHA self-driving shuttle bus solve perception
problems in all weather conditions. In the near future, all
RoboSense multi-layer LiDAR products will be able to operate in
automotive grade low temperatures under -40C,”
said Mark Qiu, COO, RoboSense.
“The RoboSense LiDAR hardware and environment perception algorithms
we use are reliable and stable, even at freezing temperatures of
tens of celcius degrees below zero,”
said Harri Santamala, CEO of Sensible 4. “The GACHA development got
started when the Sensible 4 team, working back then with the first
generation of robot buses, noticed that they just don’t perform at
all, even in light rain, not to mention the typical winter
conditions in Finland. Completely autonomous self-driving technology
is not here yet. Most self-driving cars can operate only in ideal
weather conditions and well-marked roads. This is what Sensible 4
has managed to change through repeated tests in the harsh winter
conditions of the Finnish Lapland.”
Since its inception, RoboSense has been providing complete hardware
and software LiDAR environment perception solutions for the
autonomous driving industry, solving the LiDAR perception challenges
for autopilot applications in all scenarios by combining the RS-LiDAR
hardware and the proprietary RS-LiDAR-Algorithms. RoboSense is
committed to making better products with continuous improvements on
automotive grade reliability to fulfill customers’ needs in various
applications and conditions.

Harvey Weinberg,
Division Technologist,
Analog Devices –
Topic:
Technologies for
Autonomous Cars -
Musings on Missing
Pieces and Proposed
Solutions.
Autonomous cars have
been promised as being
“right around the
corner” for several
years. But there are
still several
significant remaining
road blocks standing in
the way, including
sparse legislation
governing autonomous
vehicles, inadequate
infrastructure to
support autonomous
driving, lack of
standards, and several
technical gaps that keep
Level 4 and 5 vehicles
out of reach. This talk
will touch on several of
these gaps, with
particular attention to
outstanding technical
challenges. Full

Itay Michaeli, Director,
U.S. Autos and Auto
Parts, Citi Research -
Topic: Robo-Taxis and
the Race for the Future
of Networked Mobility.
How close are we to
ditching our personal
cars? While we may not
be up to personal flying
taxis yet, it seems that
reality may finally be
catching up with the
hype. Robo-taxis are
being planned for cities
and surrounding suburbs,
and the race to launch
and commercialize these
robo-taxis are all about
building a powerful
network effect. Full

Tony Cannestra, Director
of Corporate Ventures,
DENSO -
Topic: Automotive
Computer Vision Startups
- Key Investment
Factors.
Over the past three
years, there have been
significant advances in
computer vision
technologies. What are
the important criteria
that investment groups
examine when considering
an investment in a
vision sensor startup
company? Topics will
include expected sensor
performance, the overall
market opportunity,
competitive landscape,
successful startups, and
how to work within the

Phil Amsrud,
Senior Principal
Analyst, IHS Markit -
Topic: Emerging Trends
and Market Outlook.
Self-driving cars will
usher in a new segment
to support ride-hailing
applications and will
change the vehicle’s
architecture from being
ECU based to domain
controller based. How
will the sensor suite
morph to support these
changes? Will it be more
of the same or will
LIDAR be the one
technology to enable
everything? Are there
other sensor
technologies that will
have a place within the
self-driving car?
Will these technologies
be in addition to or
will they displace
existing technologies?
And finally, what’s the
impact of the upcoming
ride-hailing model?

Gary Streelman,
Director, Magneti
Marelli -
Topic: V2X Technologies
– Complementary
Enhancement for ADAS
Applications.
Vehicles today are safer
than they were in the
past due, in part, to
the addition of advanced
driver-assistance
systems, or ADAS. These
systems “look” around
the vehicle to determine
where there might be
something that would
cause an unsafe
situation, and then are
able to alert the
driver. Another approach
to improve safety, is to
have vehicles
communicate with each
other and other objects
wirelessly, which is
called
vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V)
or vehicle-to-everything
(V2X). V2X can act as
another sensor input
that adds to the current
suite of sensors used
for ADAS applications.

Jim DiSanto, Managing
Director, Motus Ventures
-
Topic: The Road to
Mobile Robots - Emerging
Opportunities and
Megatrends.
In the past five years,
many of us in the
venture capital
community have witnessed
an explosion of startup
companies developing
mobile robots for a
myriad of applications.
Typically, these robots
are designed to displace
a human worker. Examples
include self-driving
vehicles, drones, as
well as cleaning,
agricultural, delivery,
and food preparation
robots. We see this as
only the tip of the
iceberg: roughly 3.2
billion jobs consisting
mostly of manual labor
could be replaced by
robots in the coming
years and decades. Full

Karen Thomas, Thomas Public Relations, Inc.
- A&R MUSIC VETERAN STEEV RICCARDO TALKS ABOUT DISCOVERING & SIGNING THE GREAT KAT IN iTUNES’ PODCAST:
Steev Riccardo, former A&R for
Roadrunner Records/Enigma Records, discovered and signed The Great Kat. He talked about the experience in his January 17, 2019 iTunes podcast, “Blowing Smoke with Twisted Rico” Episode 3: “I signed to
Roadrunner The Great Kat, which was probably even
more controversial [than the band ‘Poison’]. While at Enigma, I heard The Great Kat’s 3 song tape. It was this blistering
thrash metal with violin solos from a Juilliard graduate.
I sent a postcard and said ‘It sounds great!’ One day, The
Great Kat showed up in California at the office, without any warning, and she was just a trip! When I went to Roadrunner, I spoke to Cees Wessels about The Great Kat and he agreed we should sign her, which we did. She may have alienated many people along the way, but I have no regrets whatsoever about signing The Great Kat and I am proud to have worked with,” -Steev Riccardo, “Blowing Smoke with Twisted Rico” iTunes Podcast, Episode 3, January 17, 2019.

ROBOSENSE AT CES BOOTH #9310 NORTH HALL
CES 2019 INNOVATION AWARD HONOREE
ROBOSENSE
LAUNCHES NEW MEMS SOLID-STATE LIDAR AT
CES 2019
New RoboSense RS-LiDAR-M1 Improves Detection Distance,
Resolution, Field of View (FOV), & Reliability – Supports Level 5
Full Automatic Driverless Driving Detects Even Small Objects, such as Railings & Fences
--Publicly Demonstrated for the First Time at CES 2019--
January 3, 2019, Shenzhen, China –
RoboSense
http://www.robosense.ai, a leader in LiDAR
perception technology solutions and CES 2019 Innovation
Award Honoree, announced today that next week at
CES 2019, they will publicly demonstrate an upgraded
version of their MEMS solid-state LiDAR, an automotive grade solid-state LiDAR designed for the
mass production of autonomous
vehicles. The new RS-LiDAR-M1 with patented MEMS
technology offers ground-breaking vehicle
intelligence awareness to fully support Level 5
driverless automated driving. A breakthrough on the
measurement range limit based on 905nm LiDAR with a
detection distance to 200 meters, the upgraded optical
system and signal processing technology brings remarkable final output point cloud effect which can now
clearly recognize even
small objects, such as railings and fences.
At last year’s CES 2018, RoboSense demonstrated the
first generation MEMS solid-state LiDAR RS-LiDAR-M1Pre.
Just four months later, in May 2018, it was loaded on
the Cainiao unmanned logistics vehicle and unveiled at
the Ali Cainiao
Global Intelligent Logistics Conference,
becoming the
world’s first solid-state LiDAR for
unmanned vehicles. RoboSense has already been
sending the MEMS LiDAR product to the world’s top OEMs
and Tier 1 suppliers. At CES 2019, RoboSense will launch
the new RS-LiDAR-M1, showcasing the potential of their
MEMS optomechanical system design, with breakthrough
improvements in detection distance, resolution, Field
of View (FOV), reliability, and other RoboSense
award-winning LiDAR sensing technologies.
Double the Horizontal Field of View to 120 Degrees
A major step forward from the previous version
award-winning RoboSense RS-LiDAR-M1Pre, the
new RS-LiDAR-M1 MEMS optomechanical LiDAR provides an increased horizontal field of view by nearly 100%
compared to the previous generation, reaching an amazing
120° field of view, so that only a few RS-LiDAR-M1s
are needed to cover the 360° field of view. In
addition, with only five RS-LiDAR-M1s, there is no
blind zone around the car with dual LiDAR sensing
redundancy provided in front of the car for a L5
level of automatic driving -- full driverless driving.
Based on the target production cost at $200 each, the
cost of five RS-LiDAR-M1 is only 1/100th the
highest mechanical LiDAR available to the market, which
is more in line with the cost requirements for the mass
production of autonomous vehicles.
Measurement Range to 200 Meters
The battle between 1550nm and 905nm LiDAR is about cost
and performance. When aiming for a low-cost
905nm LiDAR,
it is necessary to overcome the technical
difficulties of
achieving sufficient measurement range. The RS-LiDAR-M1
achieves a breakthrough on the measurement range limit
based on the 905nm LiDAR, with a detection distance to
200 meters.
A Leap Forward in Point Cloud Effect Technology -- Even
Small Objects
The unique RS-LiDAR-M1 LiDAR system provides massive
improvements, the most remarkable being the final output point cloud effect. The M1’s detection
capability is greatly improved through the upgraded
optical system and signal processing technology, which
can now clearly
recognize even small objects, such as railings
and fences.
“The RoboSense RS-LiDAR-M1 LiDAR system is a giant leap
forward for driverless technology,” said Mark Qiu,
Co-founder, RoboSense.“We are committed to developing
high-performance automotive-grade LiDAR at a low-cost to
advance the LiDAR market, so that LiDAR can be used in
fully unmanned vehicles, as well as assisted autonomous
driving with superior environmental information
detection that ensures driving safety. ”
A CES 2019 Innovation Award Honoree, the RS-IPLS first
hardware and software algorithm based solution for the
mass production of safer autonomous cars includes the
RS-LiDAR-M1Pre first generation RoboSense
MEMS LiDAR system and AI algorithms. RoboSense
will be exhibiting the new upgraded MEMS LiDAR, the
RS-LiDAR-M1, at CES 2019, Booth #9310, North Hall.
CES is held January 8-11, 2019 at the
Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV.

Forte
Wireless Gloves Bring Designs to Life in 3D
Patrick Lucas Austin,
Technology Columnist, TIME Magazine, thinks that the ability to have
digital “hands” in virtual reality could be a game changer for creative
professionals, allowing them to bring their designs to life in a
three-dimensional VR space. “California-based BeBop Sensors is
making that possible with its Forte wireless gloves, which allow users
to grab and manipulate digital objects as if they actually existed in
real life. Thanks to flexible sensors embedded in their fabric design,
the Forte gloves can track more of a wearer’s hands than other
virtual-reality gloves (most of which are designed for simpler uses in
video games). That translates into far better accuracy when replicating
a wearer’s movements. Architects, for instance, are already using the
Forte gloves to assemble VR models of their buildings that make it
easier to see how they will look when constructed in real life,” Austin
concluded.
“We are honored to win TIME
Magazines’ Best Inventions 2018 Award for BeBop Sensors’ innovative
Forte wireless data gloves,” said Keith McMillen, Founder and CEO, BeBop
Sensors. “Our
gloves help the user blend with the VR environment, with embedded haptic
actuators that allow you to feel the texture of different surfaces, as
well as provide feedback when you pick up something or push against an
object.”

ROBOSENSE,
WORLD’S LEADING AUTONOMOUS DRIVING LIDAR PROVIDER, RECEIVES CHINA’S
LARGEST FUNDING FOR A LIDAR COMPANY AT OVER $45 MILLION STRATEGIC FUNDING LED BY INDUSTRY LEADERS CAINIAO, SAIC & BAIC
October
10, 2018, Shenzhen, China – RoboSense
http://www.robosense.ai, the world’s leading autonomous driving

A LiDAR REVOLUTION: ROBOSENSE LAUNCHES INTELLIGENT
AUTONOMOUS DRIVING LIDAR SYSTEM WITH “GAZE” FUNCTION SIMILAR TO HUMAN EYES
RoboSense RS-IPLS is First Hardware & Software Algorithm Based Solution
for The Mass Production of Safer Low-Cost Autonomous Vehicles
September 20, 2018, Shenzhen,
China – RoboSense http://www.robosense.ai, a leader in LiDAR awareness technology
solutions, announced today the revolutionary RS-IPLS Intelligent
perception LiDAR system, the first hardware and software
algorithm based solution for the mass production of safer autonomous
cars. A high performance autonomous driving system, the RS-IPLS
features real-time data pre-processing and a “gaze” function similar
to human eyes. The RoboSense system is inexpensive, 1/400th
the price of traditional 64-line LiDAR systems, and is designed for the
mass production of vehicles at a low price.
Based on MEMS Solid-State
LiDAR & AI Algorithms
With more than 10 years
algorithm developing experience of Robosense team, the RS-IPLS
system, based on high-performance MEMS solid-state LiDAR, outputs
the highest resolution color point cloud data by merging the
underlying hardware of 2D imagery with the unique RoboSense RS-LiDAR-Algorithm
deep learning sensing algorithm developed specifically for
autonomous driving. The intelligent detection algorithm achieves object
level information that adjusts the Region of Interest (ROI) detection
area in real-time with no delay.
The algorithm is based on the
RoboSense team’s ten years of research and technology experience in the
field of LiDAR environment-aware algorithms. In early 2017, RoboSense
became the first LiDAR vendor in the world to introduce the
laser-aerodynamic environment-aware RS-LiDAR-Algorithms, combined with
LiDAR hardware to provide a large number of partners with P-series LiDAR
solutions based on different application scenarios.
The RoboSense “Gaze”
Technology
The innovative RS-IPLS
features the new RoboSense RS-LiDAR-Gaze “Gaze” Technology. When
the system perceives a target of interest in its field of view, it initiates
a “gaze” processing mechanism that instantly locks the target for ROI
processing, thus achieving the clearest and most stable environmental
data. The LiDAR low level architecture maintains a high degree of
vigilance of the surrounding environment, constantly capturing the areas
of interest, allowing the “gaze” to transfer efficient and
high-quality feedback in the field of view.
Real-Time for No Delay, More
Accurate, Farther Detection
The RoboSense RS-IPLS
Intelligent Perception LiDAR system also provides richer
three-dimensional spatial data information (X, Y, Z, R, G, B) in
real-time from the bottom layer, which reduces the time delay normally
caused by external fusion. Data pre-processing is performed by the AI
algorithm, with the region of interest repeatedly detected for farther
detection distance and more accurate perception results for
autonomous driving, with reduced data processing stress to the central
data processing unit.
The RoboSense RS-IPLS
Intelligent Perception LiDAR System is based on the RoboSense
solid-state LiDAR technology, the RS-LiDAR-M1pre (introduced
at CES 2018), which combines the RoboSense RS-LCDF LiDAR and camera
fusion technology, the RS-LCDF technology, RS-LiDAR-Algorithms, and RS-LiDAR-Gaze
technology. The RoboSense RS-IPLS pioneered the fusion of MEMS
solid-state LiDAR technology with LiDAR-Cam deep fusion technology, AI
sensing algorithm, and intelligent detection technology. The combination
of these four technologies allows the LiDAR system to go beyond the
sensor level, linking the sensor layer and the sensing layer at the
system level, so that autonomous vehicles have similar abilities as the
human visual system.
RS-IPLS --LiDAR’s
Self-Revolution
“LiDAR needs a
self-revolution. The market needs an automotive-grade product that can be mass
produced in the tens and hundreds of thousands. You have to guarantee
low cost and provide high performance to ensure the safety of your
vehicle,” said Mark Qiu, RoboSense Co-founder. “This has driven us to
create a whole new sensor system technology based on the perfect
extraction of environmental information and large-scale perception of
the environment, with the constant capture of areas of interest,
focusing on effective information.”
Traditional Mechanical LiDAR
Solutions have Become Inadequate for Autonomous Driving
Automated driving has almost
the same long history as the automobile manufacturing industry. In 1913,
Ford developed a production line for the mass production of cars. At the
same time that carriages were replaced by cars, people began to imagine
autonomous driving. In 1925, the American team of Francis P. Houdina
developed the first “driverless car.” However, due to the lack of
accurate and reliable sensors, the autonomous driving industry did not
flourished like the automotive industry has in the past 100 years. Over
the past decade or so, however, the emergence of mechanical multi-line
LiDAR has solved the problem of high-precision three-dimensional
environment perception, and the autonomous driving industry has entered
a period of growth. LiDAR helps autonomous vehicles keep the promise of
safety for humans, propelling the rapid explosion of the autonomous
driving industry, but at the same time, requiring more demands on LiDAR,
such as low cost, the need for car level production, high performance,
and intelligence, etc.
Traditional mechanical LiDAR
is very expensive. The 64-line product currently being sold is
officially priced at $80,000, more expensive than a brand new Tesla car!
RoboSense’s mass production price of the RS-IPLS is only $200 USD, 1/400th
of the traditional 64-line LiDAR, with a several thousand or even
tens of thousands faster response speed. Traditional mechanical LiDAR
consists of multiple sets of transmitters, receivers, precision optics,
micro-control motors, and other components, which are difficult to
manufacture and require expensive materials. In addition, due to
difficulty of integration and optics, mechanical LiDAR not only has a
long production cycle and high production costs, but also has a
difficult time meeting the stability and reliability requirements of
standard vehicles. Because of these reasons, traditional mechanical
LiDAR technology has become inadequate.
“The new RoboSense RS-IPLS
MEMS based technology is intelligent, accurate, lower cost, and faster—
and is poised to take over the market,” concluded RoboSense’s Mark Qiu.
RoboSense RS-IPLS Intelligent
Perception LiDAR System Technology Features:
·
Accurate
“gaze” function similar to human eyes:
when the system perceives a
target of interest in its field of view, the RS-IPLS will initiate a “gaze”
processing mechanism that instantly locks the target for Region of
Interest (ROI) processing to achieve the clearest and most stable
environmental data.
·
Safer
driving with AI perception:
an AI-aware perception
specifically designed for autonomous driving. It improves the detection
of distance, accuracy, and opacity of the target object, improving the
safety of the self-driving vehicle for detection with less computing
power.
·
Color point
cloud with 3D dimension and RGB information:
the technologies are fused to instantly detect two-dimensional
color information onto 3D high-precision spatial data, providing color
point cloud data after time and space synchronization, so RS-IPLS
detects more details of road objects.
·
Highest
Resolution: the
MEMS solid-state LiDAR RS-LiDAR-M1pre provides the highest
resolution.
·
Lowest Cost:
the RS-IPLS is low
cost, priced for mass production at $200 USD, 1/400th the price of traditional LiDAR.
·
Real-Time
Data with No Delay:
the intelligent detection algorithm achieves target level information
that adjusts the ROI detection area in real-time with no delay.
·
Farther
Distance & More Accurate:
richer three-dimensional
spatial data information (X, Y, Z, R, G, B) reduces the time delay and
provides further detection distance and more accurate perception.

DR. MARCHAND SETS WORLD RECORD FOR HYSTERECTOMY
PERFORMED THROUGH SMALLEST INCISION EVER –
Total Hysterectomy Performed Removing Uterus, Ovaries & Fallopian Tubes
with Incision the Diameter of a AAA Battery – 11mm
with No Visible Scar Pioneering Accredited Master Surgeon, Dr. Marchand Honored Again for
Advancements in Minimally Invasive Surgery – Creates New Technique for “Laparoscopic Single-Port Hysterectomy”
Mesa, AZ, August 23, 2018 –
The World
Record Academy announced today that it has awarded Dr. Greg J.
Marchand a
world record for performing a hysterectomy through the smallest
incision ever. Awarded the World Record for “Total
Hysterectomy Performed through the Smallest Incision,”
Dr. Marchand removed a
uterus, ovaries and
Fallopian tubes, all through an incision the diameter of a AAA battery –
with no visible scar. Dr. Marchand’s World Record was awarded after
a lengthy verification process performed by the Academy to verify the
results (see full World
Record Surgery Fact Sheet below
and at:
http://www.thomas-pr.com/136/photos/WorldRecordSurgeryFactSheetAugust2018.pdf).
New “Laparoscopic Single-Port Hysterectomy”
Technique
Dr. Marchand performed a hysterectomy through
a small 11mm incision at the bottom of the belly button using a
technique called “Laparoscopic Single-Port Hysterectomy.”
Dr. Marchand, Accredited Master Surgeon, developed this technique
and led the surgical team that performed the surgery. The procedure was
a modified version of a laparoscopic hysterectomy, where the only
incision used is in the patient’s umbilicus (belly button).
Mary Coble, Patient
after the World Record Awarded Hysterectomy Surgery – with No Scar
(showing with and
without belly ring)
“A great advancement for minimally invasive
surgery” - Dr. Greg Marchand, Lead Surgeon
Dr. Marchand said, “A very novel part of our
technique is that because of the instrumentation we use, the incision is
always going to be a reproducible 11 millimeters. It’s a great
advancement for minimally invasive surgery. When the incision shrinks
from 15mm to 11mm, there are many benefits to the patient. There will be
less postoperative pain, a quicker postoperative recovery, and a much
lower chance of the incision causing a hernia later, which is a known
complication of this type of surgery. My favorite part is that you can’t
even see the incision on the patient.”
Dr. Marchand’s “Laparoscopic Single-Port
Hysterectomy” Benefits:
·
Less postoperative pain.
·
Quicker postoperative recovery.
·
Much lower chance of the
incision causing a hernia later.
·
No visible scar.
Old Record is 86%
Larger than Dr. Marchand’s New World Record
Although laparoscopic hysterectomy has been
performed through a single incision before, this is the smallest
incision ever performed. The Academy reported that the Mayo Clinic
and Cleveland Clinic had reported cases through a 15mm incision, which
was believed to be the previous record -- 86% larger than the new record
achieved by Dr. Marchand.
Patient Mary Coble’s Surgery
The patient, Mary
Coble, provided the Academy with pictures of her belly from 4 weeks
after the surgery. There was no scar visible whatsoever. Ms. Coble had
previously suffered from debilitating pelvic pain from endometriosis and
adenomyosis for years before being recommended to have the hysterectomy,
after other conservative treatments for her pain were unsuccessful. She
assumed she would be having the hysterectomy through the same incision
as her Cesarean section, which was a lower abdomen horizontal incision,
often referred to as the “bikini cut.” She stated she was surprised and
delighted to find that the procedure was able to be performed through
only a tiny incision in her umbilicus.
Ms. Coble said, “The
recovery was really easy compared to my prior laparoscopic surgeries.”
She also pointed out that she had no scars at all from the surgery, as
the only tiny scar present was on the bottom of her belly button, where
it is effectively invisible. Ms Coble previously had had laparoscopic
surgery and delivered her baby by Cesarean section, so she was very
accustomed to long recovery times from surgery.

FAQ:
Can all hysterectomies be performed
in this manner?
Our technique was successful in a
difficult case that required dissection of scar tissue from a previous
Cesarean section, and also entailed scar tissue secondary to
endometriosis. Some clinical scenarios involve worse pathology and may
require a traditional laparoscopic or robotic assisted laparoscopic
hysterectomy in order to be completed. We feel our technique is a
valuable weapon in a surgeon’s set of surgical skills, but does not
constitute a solution for every patient requiring a hysterectomy.
How Would Women Benefit if More
Hysterectomies Were Performed Using this Technique?
With LaparoEndoscopic Single Site
procedures (LESS), there is only a small scar in the area of the belly
button. Because there are less incisions, the healing process is much
faster and there is much less postoperative pain. In many cases,
patients can leave the hospital the same day as the surgery. The
cosmesis is also considerably improved, with essentially no visible
scars whatsoever. From a surgical perspective, you have a very complete
visualization of the abdominal cavity at time of surgery, which is a big
advantage for dealing with complex pathology, such as endometriosis and
fibroids. As a result, complications are less common.
What is the Invented Technique?
The Marchand Institute for
Minimally Invasive Surgery acknowledges prior published techniques for
single port hysterectomy, also called LESS hysterectomy. There are also
suggested techniques for various commercially available products
developed for these surgeries. We theorized and performed a surgical
technique that utilizes many of the advantages of traditional LESS
surgery with an entry that utilizes a benchmarked 11mm blunt
laparoscopic trochar port. The end result is a reproducible surgical
technique that will continually produce a small incision in the
umbilicus of exactly 11mm that is created with a blunt trochar and
extremely cosmetic, while also providing excellent exposure to the
abdomen.
What is the Marchand Institute for
Minimally Invasive Surgery, and What Do They Do?
The Marchand Institute for
Minimally Invasive Surgery is a research and educational not-for-profit
corporation and functional “think tank” for the advancement of minimally
invasive surgery. We are located in Mesa, Arizona. Our efforts are split
between the publication of high-quality medical research, expert level
surgical education, and involvement in clinical trials related to
advancing minimally invasive surgery.
Did this Record Involve “Morcellation”?
No. Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
generally does not require morcellation, except in extreme cases, such
as Dr. Marchand’s 2008 Guinness World Record. For more details on the
2008 World Record, please see:
http://gregmarchandmd.com/guinness-record-marchand/
What do Dr. Marchand’s
Accreditations Mean?
The accreditations represent honors
bestowed upon Dr. Marchand by different certifying organizations. They
include: MD -- Medical Doctor FACOG -- Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology --
Certified by The American College/Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology
(acog.org) FACS -- Fellow of the American College of Surgeons -- Certified by the
American College of Surgeons (facs.org) FICS -- Fellow of the International College of Surgeons -- Certified by
The International College of Surgeons (fics.org) Accredited Master Surgeon – Dr. Marchand is currently the only
Accredited Master Surgeon in Arizona -- Certified by the Surgical Review
Corporation (www.surgicalreview.org)
Why is this a World Record? Can't a
Hysterectomy be Done with no Abdominal Incision at All?
Yes, a hysterectomy can be
performed vaginally without any abdominal incisions at all in
uncomplicated cases without significant pathology. A completely vaginal
approach, however, gives a very limited view of the abdomen and makes it
difficult to deal with abdominal pathology, such as scar tissue from
prior surgeries and scar tissue from endometriosis. This can increase
the chance of complications and injuries to surrounding organs. Using
our technique, we were able to directly visualize the abdominal cavity
and perform the hysterectomy with less risk of complications. This was
demonstrated by our ability to complete the hysterectomy safely despite
this patient’s history of prior Cesarean sections and endometriosis. Our
technique also has excellent cosmesis using only an 11mm incision that
leaves essentially no scar.
How Can You be Sure that This is
the Smallest Incision a Laparoscopic Hysterectomy has ever been
Performed through? What Steps Did You Take to Verify?
We performed extensive searches of
the literature in all of the relevant journals as well as PubMed. We
were not able to find any reported case of total hysterectomy performed
solely through this small of an incision. The World Record Academy then
went on to verify the claim independently. We were awarded the record
after the completion of their exhaustive verification efforts.

City of
Industry, CA, August 21, 2018 -- Mixcder
http://www.mixcder.com,
announced today the Mixcder E7 Active Noise Canceling Bluetooth Over
the Ear Hi-Fi Stereo Headphones with deep bass and built-in microphone. Delivering on its mission to create premium
noise canceling headphones at an affordable price for everyone, the
Mixcder E7 employs Active Noise Canceling (ANC) Technology for
totally immersive sound, priced at only $59.99.
Mixcder’s ANC Technology continuously detects and reacts to outside
noises, analyzing sound waves and blocking out ambient sound by creating
inverse waves for a totally immersive experience for beautiful music and
sound.
ANC
Technology Headphones
for Audiophiles Feature 40mm Driver Units and More –
Same Features as Headphones Costing
Hundreds
of Dollars More
With
features audiophiles appreciate normally costing hundreds of dollars,
the affordable Mixcder E7 premium headphones are priced perfectly for
students and adults. They feature 40mm driver units and CSR
Bluetooth to ensure great sound quality, with a powerful deep
bass and clean sound with clear detail -- without being disturbed by
noise. The E7’s extended 20 hour battery life for Bluetooth
wireless music, audio, and hands-free phone calls keep you listening for
hours, with a wired mode for directly connecting to devices when
a wired connection is needed at the gym or with non-Bluetooth devices.
Featuring an ergonomic design with comfortable soft ear pads and
a light slim hard carrying case, the Mixcder E7 can be taken anywhere.
Totally Immersive Let You Focus on Music, Study, Phone Calls, and More
-- without Distractions
A key
challenge of college and other student life is the continuous
distractions and noise from dorms, other music, parties, outdoor
conditions, weather, airplane noise, and other noisy environments. The
Mixcder lets you focus on your world and listen without distractions.
“With the Mixcder E7’s ANC Technology, you’ll stay in your world,
just you and your favorite music -- without distractions,” said David
Wu, Founder, Mixcder. “Immerse yourself in music, enjoying every nuance
of your favorite song while also appreciating the peace of no external
noises.”
Mixcder’s Unique “Furcating Technology”
The ID
design technology of the E7 is unique to Mixcder. The technology works
like this: when the wireless noise reduction function is enabled, noise
reduction values are 18dB, as good as top grade Bluetooth headsets. When
the noise reduction function is disabled, the tone quality is as good as
middle to top grade Bluetooth headsets, but with a different quality
timbre. The technology’s circuit and tune algorithms for noise reduction
technology and Bluetooth can be combined and/or separated for “furcating
technology.” Because of this design, two absolutely different
experiences can be enjoyed with one headset.
The active
noise reduction function generates reverse sound waves equivalent to
external noise to neutralize it. It is achieved by collecting the
waveform characteristic of the noise, calculating reverse waves with the
built-in processing chip, then counteracting by the high reproduction
loudspeaker. A sound pick-up, processing chip, and loudspeaker are all
necessary for the active noise reduction system. Only when each part is
high quality, like Mixcder’s, will the final superior quality effect be
achieved. The two “Furcating Technology” features are built into the
Mixcder for excellent sound quality at a great price.
“In the
headphone industry, it’s not an easy job to provide noise canceling and
wireless features in one headphone, and it’s nearly impossible to do it
at a low price. Only a few R&D audio teams have the ability to
manufacture wireless noise canceling headphones, and we are one of those
factories. Mixcder created the technology in only 3 years and at a
fraction of the price,” said Wu.

ALIBABA GROUP’S CAINIAO NETWORK AND
ROBOSENSE ANNOUNCE WORLD’S FIRST SOLID-STATE LIDAR
UNMANNED LOGISTICS VEHICLE CHINA’S SOLID-STATE LIDAR PIONEERS DRIVERLESS
DELIVERY VEHICLES
Alibaba’s Cainiao G Plus’s “G Plus” Unmanned
Logistics Vehicle is Equipped with RoboSense MEMS
Solid-State Laser Radar -- Costs as Low as a Few Hundred
Dollars
May 31, 2018, Hangzhou, China –Alibaba
Group’s Cainiao Network
and
RoboSense jointly released today
G Plus, the world’s first solid-state LiDAR unmanned
logistics vehicle. Announced at Alibaba Group’s
Cainiao Network 2018 Global Smart Logistics Summit held
today in Hangzhou, China, the most important feature of
the newly announced G Plus driverless delivery
vehicles is the solid-state LiDAR technology, the
RS-LiDAR-M1Pre, developed by China’s RoboSense.
This is the first time that solid-state LiDAR has been
officially used in the development of an unmanned
vehicle, heralding the beginning of a new solid-state
LiDAR era in driverless vehicles.
RoboSense has reached a strategic partnership with
Alibaba to provide delivery vehicles with solid-state
LiDARs for all
G Plus
unmanned logistics cars, drastically reducing the cost
of the driverless vehicles. The vehicles can be
mass-produced, allowing the rapid expansion of
unmanned logistics vehicles and streamlining mass market
delivery logistics, for the rapid popularization of
the vehicles. The unmanned cars and trucks can also be
equipped with different smart devices according to
demand, turning the vehicle into a courier vehicle, a
mobile self-pickup station, a mobile coffee vending
cart, etc., which can be applied to various new retail
scenarios.
3D Perception of the Driving Environment
The
Alibaba’s Cainiao G Plus unmanned delivery
vehicle is equipped with three RS-LiDAR-M1Pres,
two in the front and one in the rear,
to ensure
the most powerful 3D perception of the driving
environment. This allows unmanned delivery vehicles
to clearly see the direction of travel, including the
shape, distance, azimuth, travel speed, and direction of
travel of pedestrians, cars, trucks, and other
obstacles, as well as the exact areas on which roads can
be driven, etc., to ensure the smooth flow of
unmanned logistics vehicles in a complex road
environment.
RoboSense LiDAR Costs as Low as a Few Hundred Dollars
The
RS-LiDAR-M1Pre is the first MEMS
solid-state LiDAR launched by RoboSense. The world’s
first solid-state LiDAR equipped in an unmanned vehicle,
the technology was first publicly presented and
demonstrated at CES 2018 in Las Vegas. The technology’s
outstanding results and advancements have already
attracted widespread attention in the industry. The core
technology of the MEMS solid-state LiDAR is disruptive
to traditional mechanical multi-beam
radars. The MEMS micro mirror scanning scheme used in
the RS-LiDAR-M1Pre requires only a few laser emitters
and receivers to scan through the MEMS micro-mirror
in both directions because of the swing angle. The
resolution is a very fine, high angle and vertical angle
resolution that reaches 0.2° throughout the angle of
view.
In contrast, for traditional mechanical multi-beam LiDAR
to achieve the same effect, they require more than a
hundred laser transmitters and receivers to rotate and
scan at the same time, which greatly increases material
and human costs and reduces yield and reliability,
making the advantages of MEMS solid-state LiDAR
technology obvious. While improving the performance of
LiDAR, the cost savings is also great, and at the same
time the miniaturization of the scanning structure
greatly improves the stability of LiDAR.
RoboSense LiDAR
“The LiDAR is an indispensable sensor for advanced
autonomous driving above L3, and on this, industry has
reached a consensus. The solid-state laser has the
advantages of high stability, high resolution, and low
cost, and it can well meet the demand for OEMs,” said
Mark Qiu, Co-founder and COO of RoboSense. “Reducing
logistics costs and improving logistics efficiency is
the mission of autonomous driving technology in the
logistics industry. Alibaba and RoboSense both agree
with this direction and we hope to increase our
strengths jointly to promote mass production of unmanned
logistics vehicles and put them into operation so that
everyone from the community can benefit as soon as
possible.”
Also announced at the 2018 Global Smart Logistics
Summit, the Alibaba Cainiao Network Technology Logistics
Laboratory announced a
plan named
“Hump Project,” joining a number of
companies, including FAW Jiefang, Beihang University’s
Drone Team, RoboSense, and Dian Wo Da,
to mass produce unmanned equipment for a new
three-dimensional intelligent logistics network
that includes
unmanned vehicles and drones.
The first members participating in the plan include
vehicle and drone manufacturers, LiDAR companies, and
companies with the need for unmanned equipment. “We want
to build a three-dimensional distribution network. After
a package enters the network, artificial intelligence
will automatically distribute routes and unmanned
vehicles will relay
deliveries,” said Zhang Chunhui, director of the Cainiao
Network E.T. Logistics Laboratory. “We plan to have
100,000 unmanned vehicles in the next three years.”
About RoboSense
Established in 2014, RoboSense is world’s leading
autonomous driving LiDAR environment perception system
provider, the first company in China to bring autonomous
driving LiDAR into mass production. The company is based
on its research, development, and continuous
technological innovations to achieve its world leading

upgrade the global smart logistics network and
accelerate the realization of “24 hours in the country
and 72 hours in the world.”

This smart sensing
fabric is in everything from gaming gloves to shoes BeBop is
capitalizing on the rush to make the world measurable with novel
fabric sensors that go anywhere
Greg Nichols By Greg Nichols for Robotics | April 24, 2018 -- 09:15 GMT
(02:15 PDT) | Topic: Robotics
BeBop
Sensors, a startup that makes smart fabric sensors for a
variety of markets, just announced $10 million in Series A
funding.
In the era of big data, wearables, and AR/VR, the company is
capitalizing on the rush to make the world more measurable.
BeBop makes smart piezoelectric sensing fabric that changes
resistance under force or when bent, stretched, and twisted.
Embedded printed circuit boards process and package the data,
capturing information such as pressure, XYZ location, bend,
motion, rotation, angle, and torsion.
Not surprisingly, the fabric is finding its way into wearables.
BeBop sells custom sensors to enterprise, but it also has
several in-house products that showcase the breadth of the
technology's applications. One is an affordable data glove for
use in AR/VR and gaming.
The company also makes a sensing helmet to measure impact and an
insole sensor to measure changing forces on the foot during
walking. BeBop's in-seat automotive system intelligently senses
and classifies car occupants for safe airbag deployment.
"We believe BeBop to have fundamental technology that will be as
important to AI and humans as cameras and microphones," says
Eric Wiesen, Managing Partner, Bullpen Capital, which led the
round. "Computers need to feel people, and fabric is already
deployed in clothing, furniture, and interiors. People are
comfortable with it. The perfect place for physical sensors,"
The funding will help BeBop focus on market penetration,
especially in wearables markets, which are expected to be worth
$5 billion within the decade.
BEBOP
SENSORS, WORLD LEADER IN SMART FABRIC SENSORS, ANNOUNCES CLOSE OF $10M+
SERIES A FUNDING LED BY BULLPEN CAPITAL
BeBop Sensors Has Multiple Design Wins with Fortune 500 Companies
in Health, Automotive, IoT, and AR/VR Markets
BeBop’s Products Include Forte Data Glove, Smart Helmet, Automotive
Occupant Classification System, Smart Foot Mat & Track Pad
Berkeley, CA, April 18, 2018 — BeBop
Sensors, Inc.
www.bebopsensors.com, the world leader in smart fabric
sensors, announced today the close of its $10 Million+ Series A
funding led by San Francisco-based Bullpen Capital, a leader in
post-seed funding. With millions of sensors in daily use, BeBop Sensors
designs, manufactures, and delivers smart fabric sensors to Fortune 500
companies in the Health, Automotive, IoT, and AR/VR markets. The
funding will help BeBop aggressively accelerate product development and
market penetration.
Winner of
the Frost & Sullivan Innovation Award and Gartner Cool Vendors Awards,
BeBop Sensors’ innovative technology products include the Forte Data
Glove, the first fully featured data glove with sensors and haptics
priced for the consumer market; the Sensor Helmet, first to
provide location-specific impact information;
Multi Sensor Insole
that measures the
changing forces on the bottom of the foot; Automotive Occupant
Classification System embedded car seat sensors with intelligent car
occupant sensing technology for safer airbag deployment; Smart
Foot Mat, a high resolution sensor platform that
accurately measures a person’s balance and detects anomalies in orthotic
measurement that traditional methods are unable to; Fabric Track
Pad, an input device that can be conformed to a car’s interior for
extreme accuracy to recognize taps, gestures, and swipes for unique
applications; and many more ground-breaking flexible sensor technologies. Unlike other
fabric sensors, BeBop’s sensors measure physicality, sensing pressure,
XYZ location, bend, motion, rotation, angle, and torsion, for precise
analysis of data.
“We
believe BeBop to have fundamental technology that will be as important
to AI and humans as cameras and microphones. Computers need to feel
people, and fabric is already deployed in clothing, furniture and
interiors. People are comfortable with it. The perfect place for
physical sensors,” said Eric Wiesen, Managing Partner,
Bullpen Capital.
Wearable Market Predicted to Grow Rapidly, Reaching $5 Billion by 2027
“We see the market for sensors in wearables including gloves for VR,
automotive and gaming applications to grow rapidly, reaching $5B by
2027,” said Raghu Das, CEO of IDTechEx, independent market research firm
for emerging technologies. “This market is also transitioning from rigid
sensors such as FSRs to fabric-like, flexible, stretchable sensors.
BeBop Sensors is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this
transition and rapid growth in the market.”
“Flexible
fabric sensors have emerged as one of the most sought-after sensors in
markets that affect consumers every day, including automotive, augmented
reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), wearables, health, sports, and
remote sensing,” said Keith McMillen, Founder & CEO, BeBop Sensors in
Sensors Magazine. “I
am pleased to have Bullpen Capital with proven tech vision backing BeBop.
When you are first in on a major tech innovation, it takes partners that
can share that vision to succeed,” concluded McMillen.
Bullpen
Capital is a leader in post-seed funding with over 70 companies in
markets from fantasy sports to data center equipment. A venture fund
with a differentiated strategy, Bullpen invests after the product has
found a niche in the marketplace. Bullpen selects its companies based on
three criteria: evidence of a product and market that is visible in
operating data; sight lines to a milestone that inflects the company’s
value; and a strong syndicate of existing seed investors. Bullpen helps
these market leaders accelerate operating performance at this critical
time, acting with greater speed than most other venture investors to
help companies come to market quickly.

in time for Father’s Day
and graduations,
udoq
is a
one-size-fits-all station for
charging and docking all
Android, Apple, and other
smartphones, tablets, music
players, smartwatches, eReaders,
and other devices. Created
by the minimalist
designers of Porsche and other
brands according to German
engineering
standards, udoq is made
of elegant sturdy high-grade
aluminum built to last. It
features an innovative
patented process which
allows users to quickly and
neatly move and slide back and
forth all the charging cables
from multiple devices in one
station without the mess and
disorganization of tangled
cables and lost devices (see
the process at:
http://www.thomas-pr.com/udoq/udoqanimation.html).
Connector Cables Slide Back &
Forth in Any Order – Mix & Match
Devices
udoq includes cables from Apple,
Android, or other devices as
chosen by the user, such as Lightning, Micro USB, USB-C, and
30-Pin, with
an adapter for the Apple Watch.
The cables snake through the
back of udoq’s aluminum bar,
snapping onto the patented udoq
connectors which slide along the
track on the bottom and can be
moved into any position for
optimal viewing, operating, and
charging.
udoq is fully customizable to
any range of mobile devices,
allowing users to mix and
match Android, Apple, or other
devices with a quick cable
swap. All connectors can be
adjusted in height to fit thick
bumpers and cases. Simply open
the udoq adapter to adjust your
cable to the required height
with the included small tool, or
custom configure the dock ahead
of time when ordering at
https://udoq.com/configurator/
from a drop down list of
devices.
udoq keeps the cables tidy and
hidden away, connected to its
multi-port USB charger contained
in the box behind the udoq which
plugs into a wall outlet, or you
can plug the cables directly to
your computer.
All smartphones, tablets,
eReaders, and music players,
such as iPods, are propped
vertically
or
horizontally (according to the
location of the charger port)
and stay fully accessible for
use while docked and charging or
syncing. The dock protects
devices against slipping with a
double layer of silicone strips,
so you can safely store and use
your devices without the fear of
sliding or scratching their
surfaces.
All versions of udoqs can also
be mounted to a wall with the
rock-solid udoq wall mount
set, which contains machined
aluminium brackets.
Four Different Versions
Available from 10 inches to
Almost 2 ½ Feet:
udoq is available in
four
different model lengths:
250mm, 400mm, 550mm, and 700mm.
The smallest size (udoq250) is
around 10 inches and perfectly
fits four smartphones or one
iPad and one iPhone. The largest
model (udoq700) at almost 2½
feet can accommodate a tablet
and six smartphones -- and still

Udoq’s CboxS box neatly stores

udoq was created from Founder
Marcus Kuchler’s desire to
organize the chaos resulting
from multiple devices, cables,
and chargers.
“I’m the father of two active
kids, and of course they love
their smartphones and iPads,”
said Kuchler. “After struggling
with our various charging and
syncing routines and the chaos
of it for several years, I got
sick and tired of the daily
search for cables, chargers, and
phones. Bringing all my
expertise of 25 years working as
a product designer with my
company, marwin, for brands like
Adidas, Porsche, Rimowa, Cherry
and Leica – and my 12 years of
‘internship’ as a husband and
father - I invented udoq.”
Pricing & Availability
Priced from $100-$200, udoq is
available immediately from
https://udoq.com/shop-2/,
completely customizable at:
https://udoq.com/configurator/.

M VENTURES INVESTS IN
CLEARINK DISPLAYS
C
Round Oversubscribed
March 6, 2018, Fremont,
California, – M Ventures
www.m-ventures.com, the strategic corporate
venture capital fund of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt,
Germany and CLEARink Displays http://www.clearinkdisplays.com,
the leader in next generation ePaper, announced
today that M Ventures has made an investment in
CLEARink’s C Round.
CLEARink started its C
Round of investment mid 2017 with a lead investment and
co-investments by China based strategic investors
involved in the electronic display industry. Following
this, additional investments were received from
strategic investors in the U.S. and Taiwan. This latest
investment from M Ventures marks the end of the C Round.
The C Round, which was oversubscribed, paves the way for
the company to focus on bringing its first products to
market.
CLEARink has developed
ePaper 2.0, the world’s first reflective display that
will be color and video/internet capable. The
company targets the education and wearable markets,
where traditional display technologies aren’t a fit. The
company has been seeing great traction in the education
market, as concerns are growing about the lack of
outdoor readability with traditional displays,
forcing children to be educated in daylight deprived
classrooms, and the detrimental impact of long-term
exposure to backlights.
CLEARink closed its 1st
round in 2012 and a 2nd round in 2015. This 3rd
round of financing was specifically targeted at
strategic investors. The proceeds from this round are
intended to take the company through the
trial-manufacturing phase and to mass production.
CLEARink is currently running manufacturing trials in
Shenzhen, China.
“We are delighted that M
Ventures has decided to join our group of distinguished
investors. Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany had already
been investing in our joint development since 2012 with
a further development agreement signed in 2017,
but the fact that they now took an equity stake in our
company through their venture fund is a further
endorsement of our success potential” said Frank
Christiaens, CEO & Chairman, CLEARink Displays.
Owen Lozman, Vice
President, M Ventures, added, “We have found both the
CLEARink team and the technology to be exceptional. Now
that the technology nears maturity and first end
products are expected to come to market in 2019, we are
excited to announce this investment as part of our
growing Performance Materials portfolio and to ensure
that we continue to contribute to the success of this
disruptive display technology.”

The BeBop
Sensors Forte Data Glove is an ultra-comfortable one-size-fits-all glove, conducive to lengthy Augmented Reality and
Virtual Reality sessions due to its light weight and open airy design.
Sensor data and haptic commands communicate through Micro USB or
Bluetooth wireless to the host device, with Micro USB also charging
the internal lithium battery. The glove provides Super Accurate Rapid
Sensing with data rates at 150 frames per second, with
lag eliminated, triggering approaches
near instantaneous response times
-- perfect for the most demanding shooter scenario games.
The
Forte Data Glove is the first high performance data glove available
at a price on par with handheld motion sensing controllers. The
glove
features 10
smart fabric bend sensors
located above each knuckle with bend accuracy and repeatability +/- 1.5
degrees and high sensor speeds of 500Hz. A 9 degree IMU (inertial
measurement unit) provides extremely low drift and reliable pre-blended
accelerometer and gyro sensor data.
Created by
BeBop Sensors’ Founder Keith McMillen,
Forte Glove Provides Unique Custom Haptic Actuators Essential
for an Immersive VR Experience
Haptic
Feedback is a key component in an immersive VR experience. Created by
BeBop Sensors’ Founder Keith McMillen, the Forte Glove can host up to 64 unique resident haptic sound files, with new files rapidly
uploaded over Bluetooth or USB from the host. The
glove’s custom haptic actuators are non-resonant with a 4+
octave frequency response of 100Hz to 2000Hz. 6 actuators are
located on each of the 4 fingertips, thumb and palm, with the palm
haptic convincingly conveying possession of an object. The haptic
signals can be pitch shifted and volume adjusted in real-time to aid
in the impression of reality. Signals can loop continuously or
operate in a single play mode. The actuators respond to standard MIDI
API based commands for ease of integration into games and
environments for OEMs.
The internal
battery lasts for 15 hours of continuous Bluetooth connectivity
while driving haptics to 100% amplitude. The Forte Data Glove is

OWC
HOLDINGS LAUNCHES SoftRAID UPDATE V. 5.6.3 -- NOW COMPATIBLE WITH macOS 10.13 HIGH SIERRA
SoftRAID Software Keeps Precious Files Protected Against
Disk Failure For Everyone who Needs to Safely Store & Quickly Access
Large Amounts of Data
For Photographers,
Videographers, Editors, Web Designers, Database/Media
Managers, Advertisers, Archivers, & More
Mill Valley, CA September
26, 2017 -- OWC Holdings, Inc., a division of
OWC,
a leading zero emissions Mac and PC technology company,
announced today the launch of SoftRAID v. 5.6.3,
an
update
and bug fix release, which makes SoftRAID compatible
with macOS 10.13 High Sierra. SoftRAID
http://www.softraid.com keeps
precious files protected against disk failure --
ideal for everyone
who needs to safely store
and quickly access large
amounts of data, including photographers, videographers,
editors, audio producers, web designers, database and
media managers, advertisers, archivers, and more.
SoftRAID 5.6.3 features a highly optimized driver, which
provides a software RAID solution that equals and can
often exceed the performance and reliability of
dedicated hardware RAID controllers. In addition,
SoftRAID provides
advanced disk testing,
logging, disk health monitoring, and a unique disk
failure prediction
system for advanced warning of potential disk problems
to protect users from catastrophic data loss.
Easy Setup Automatically
Guides Less Technical Users through Setup
SoftRAID guides less
technical users through the process of creating SoftRAID
volumes, automating the process of configuring
disks and making recommendations to help users setup
their SoftRAID system. All users have to do is
decide what the RAID volume will be used for and how
much space to use (with hints from the application) --
SoftRAID Easy Setup does the rest.
Key Changes/Bug Fixes in SoftRAID v. 5.6.3
•
Now compatible with macOS
High Sierra.
o
SoftRAID
5.6.3’s
certify, verify, and monitoring features work with APFS
formatted disks (Note:
SoftRAID 5.6.3 does not support creating, modifying or
converting APFS volumes).
o
Driver modifications ensure
that disks do not hang as a
result of changes in
macOS High Sierra’s kernel features.
o
Driver now uses fewer
threads -- no more than 1 thread per disk for disk
update operations, since macOS High Sierra limits the
number of threads which can run at one time.
o
Driver has been changed to
handle disk errors better.
•
Fixes driver loading to
ensure that the correct driver is installed the first
time and that newly updated drivers are always loaded.
In previous versions, it was possible for older cached
versions of the driver to be loaded by mistake under
certain circumstances.
•
Driver no longer reports
read errors on stripe (RAID 0) volumes as write errors.
•
The command line interface
of the SoftRAID Tool no longer returns an error every
time the disk unmount command is used. In previous
versions, this command used to unmount all volumes,
which use a given disk and would return an error even if
it was successful.
•
Also includes numerous bug
fixes, details of which can be found in the
release notes at:
https://www.softraid.com/release-notes.
“At SoftRAID, we don’t
believe that software should be shipped and then
forgotten. We are constantly refining and improving our
product, because we love what we do and want it to be
the best it can possibly be!” said Tim Standing, VP of
software Engineering, OWC Holdings Inc.
SoftRAID Key Features:
•
Supports all versions of
Mac OS X from 10.6.8 through
macOS High Sierra 10.13.
•
Disk Error Reporting:
SoftRAID monitors and logs all disk errors often ignored
by macOS.
•
Email Notifications:
available with full
version of SoftRAID
only.
•
Predictive Failure
Analysis: provides advanced warning of imminent disk
failure on all disks which support SMART, most USB 3,
3.1 and USB-C disks (enclosures) and also many USB 2.0,
FireWire 400 and 800 disks.
•
Certify Disk: guarantees
disks reliably read and write data (destructive, ideal
for new disks).
•
Verify Disk: ensures entire
disk can be read (non-destructive test for any-time
use).
•
Validate Volume: confirms
that entire volume is readable and all parity data is
correct.
•
Supports all Intel based
Macs with Core Duo 2 processors or later.
•
Supports Thunderbolt 1, 2 &
3, eSATA, SAS, FireWire and USB 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 and USB-C.
•
Converts AppleRAID stripe
(RAID 0) and mirror (RAID 1) volumes to SoftRAID.
•
Supports RAID 0, 1, 4, 5
and 1+0 (and non-RAID volumes) - (RAID 4, 5 and 1+0
volumes not available with SoftRAID Lite).
•
Supports TRIM for SSDs on
all SoftRAID RAID levels.
•
All SoftRAID volumes can be
startup volumes.
•
Supports volumes up to 4
petabytes (4,000 TB).
•
Supports up to 16 disks per
volume and up to 32 volumes per Mac.
•
Automatic rebuilding of
out-of-sync RAID volumes.
•
Fast rebuilds for
accelerated rebuild times.
•
I/O and error counters for
every SoftRAID disk and volume.
•
Extended disk information
including: hours of use, reallocated sector counts and
media wear for SSDs.
•
Disk labeling and LED
blinking to aid in disk identification.
•
Extensive logging of
SoftRAID events.
•
Command line interface with
dedicated man page (not available with SoftRAID Lite).
•
Built-in recovery tools for
recovering severely damaged partition maps.

Larry O’Connor is the
Founder and Chief Executive
Officer of Illinois-based
Other World Computing (OWC®).
OWC is a leading provider of
quality computer upgrade
products and services for
Mac and PC users around the
world.
Larry O’Connor started Other
World Computing (http://www.owcdigital.com)
while still in high school
in 1988. Frustrated with the
high cost and options for
Apple memory expansion, he
came to a better solution
and started providing memory
upgrades online. Today, OWC
is one of the most respected
suppliers of Apple product
upgrades and accessories.
The company has demonstrated
dynamic growth in each of
its 29 years of operation.
Over the years, O’Connor has
received numerous offers to
partner or buyout, but he
has instead opted to work
toward his vision of
building OWC into a
self-sustainable
organization that has become
known as a great place to
work, innovating and
supporting professional
grade solutions and service
to technology users around
the globe.
O’Connor has provided the
leadership and vision to
establish OWC as the leading
provider of technology
products and services that
it is today. OWC’s products
include storage,
accessories, memory, and
more for Apple and PC
computers and peripherals.
Products are sold under the
OWC brand, and distributed
through Macsales.com at
http://www.macsales.com,
as well as numerous other
resellers and distributors.
OWC is currently ranked the
number one technology
employer in the Woodstock,
Illinois area, and in total
employing more than 200
people today.
OWC “Green” Building
100% On-Site Wind Turbine
Powered & Recycling Programs
Other Green initiatives
include the installation of
a Vestas V39-500kW wind
turbine in October 2009,
making OWC the first
technology
manufacturer/distributor in
the U.S. to be 100% on-site
wind powered. The 194-foot
tall turbine generates
approximately 815,000kW of
electricity per year. Over a
year’s time, the turbine’s
average excess power
generation is approximately
10 percent more than what
the building consumes, with
the remaining energy being
pushed out to the local
grid. Not content with
harnessing wind power, OWC
has also adopted solar power
as an energy source in
Woodstock as well as their
Austin, TX office. In early
2014, an array of 160 solar
panels was energized at the
Austin facility, producing
approximately 60,000kW/year,
or about one-third of the
power consumed by that
three-story building. The
array in Woodstock is made
up of 770 solar panels,
making it one of the largest
privately-held solar arrays
in Illinois, and generating
approximately
265,000kW/year. OWC’s
utilization of GeoThermal
for heating/cooling systems
is a key component reducing
the actual demand on energy
in the Woodstock facility at
large. O’Connor believes
that environmental
stewardship is the right
thing to do for future
generations and makes good
economic sense as well, that
with planning and effort,
sustainability is synonymous
with success.
OWC continues to lead the
way with ongoing recycling programs
as
well. The OWC headquarters
has a strong corporate focus
on recycling of all
day-to-day operational
materials, and currently 94
percent of solid waste
materials are recycled in
some manner, for a near zero
waste program. OWC
subsidiary, NewerTech
http://www.newertech.com,
provides the NewerTech®
laptop battery recycling
program, the first of its
kind,
and is currently the only
fully prepaid battery
recycling program.
Continuous Development of
Innovative Tech Products
Technology innovation never
stands still, and over the
years O’Connor has led OWC
and its subsidiaries to add
thousands of consumer
electronics and computer
hardware products to its
inventory. Products debuted
under O’Connor’s direction
have won award recognition
from the international
press, including Macworld,
MacLife, iPod Observer,
MacUser, Creative Mac News,
Layers and Photoshop User.

SoftRAID
Customer Phil Legg President, FutureProof Records |
SOFTRAID USER STORY: 3½ YEARS AFTER INITIAL SETUP, SOFTRAID 4 SAVES CRUCIAL DATA
AT FUTUREPROOF RECORDS
Background:
Futureproof Records, a UK music distribution
company, needed a system to store and protect a large amount of
crucially important files and applications. So, in January 2014, they
installed OWC’s
SoftRAID
RAID 4 software on a Mac
Pro 5.1 running Mac OS 10.8.5 Mountain Lion. FutureProof had
essential applications running on their Mac Pro, which required them to
keep the older Mountain Lion Mac OS instead of upgrading to the latest
OS. Their original configuration with the initial install of SoftRAID 4
has been running continuously since setup.
Two or three times after January 2014, Futureproof’s
Mac Pro crashed. After each crash, SoftRAID 4 alerted them that due to
the crash, their mirror volume was out of sync. Then SoftRAID
successfully rebuilt the mirror volume to restore their data. The Mac OS
was never updated and neither was the version of SoftRAID.
How SoftRAID Predicted Disk Failure Before Any
Evidence Appeared:
SoftRAID Screen
Fast forward to July 9, 2017: three and a half
years after initial setup, SoftRAID 4 popped up a dialog box, saying:
“Disk predicted to fail”
even though the
system appeared to be running fine. Futureproof President Phil
Legg was concerned. He was advised by
SoftRAID’s online help to generate a technical support file and
send it to SoftRAID tech support. When he launched SoftRAID to create
the file, he discovered that one of the disks had a “Failure
Predicted” alert -- a much more critical issue. Disk sectors were being
reallocated at an alarming rate. Legg immediately
emailed SoftRAID for a solution.
“
No matter how old the version, we stand by our software and its
ability to protect the user against the disaster of disk failure”
—SoftRAID
Team
Futureproof was using an older, unsupported version
of SoftRAID v. 4.5.4 (the current version is 5.6.1). There are not many
companies who would rush to help someone using older unsupported
versions of their software, but SoftRAID stands by its software and
its customers. Mark James at SoftRAID technical support got back to
Legg right away, telling him that his disk
urgently needed replacing. James explained that when a disk starts
reallocating sectors that quickly, the disk is in a death spiral and may
not last even a few days. Futureproof ordered new disks on the spot.
James also noted that the
RAID 0
mirror disks Futureproof were using for their SoftRAID volume had over
30,000 hours of use each and were at the end of their expected life. In
addition, the system’s older Hitachi boot disk had over 50,000 hours of
use — well past the expected lifetime of that drive. The disks have now
been replaced and the Mac Pro is still in service and still running
Mountain Lion. Futureproof has upgraded
its version of SoftRAID to 5.6.1—the latest version—to take advantage of
the even greater protection and extra features it offers, such as
displaying reallocation sector counts directly in the disk tile.
“It was very reassuring when the
SoftRAID warning popped up letting us know of an imminent problem before
it happened. I’d advise all small companies to consider SoftRAID for
their data-storage needs. Many thanks!” said Phil Legg,
President, FutureProof
Records.
SoftRAID Believes in Happy Endings:
A story with a happy ending and a satisfied customer
is due to the SoftRAID team’s belief that no matter how old the version
of SoftRAID, they stand by their software and its ability to protect the
user against the disaster of disk failure. SoftRAID also believes in
providing amazing technical support with virtually round-the-clock
service to ensure that their customers get the help they need and keep
their data safe. For more information on SoftRAID, see:

About SoftRAID & OWC
Holdings, Inc.:
Based in Mill Valley,
California, SoftRAID was founded in 1996 by a team of Mac software
engineers to provide high quality storage solutions for Mac OS. The
company’s founders have worked with disk drives on Mac OS since the Mac
Plus shipped in 1986. Available for Mac OS X since 2003, SoftRAID has
earned its reputation as a rock solid product with great technical
support -- the first to market with many key features, including fast
mirror rebuilds, full email notifications, bootable RAID volumes, disk
certification, RAID volume validation, TRIM support on all RAID Levels,
disk failure prediction, and more. In 2014, SoftRAID was acquired by OWC,
the leading manufacturer and upgrade provider for Apple and PC
enthusiasts, and renamed OWC Holdings, Inc. SoftRAID is included with
all preconfigured OWC ThunderBay RAID enclosures and will power the
upcoming OWC Mercury Viper SSD that offers read speeds of 4.6 GB/s and
write speeds of 4.0 GB/s. For more information, see the websites:

Mesa,
AZ, August 2, 2017 --
Dr. Greg J. Marchand
http://gregmarchandmd.com/,
an award-winning
board-certified
obstetrician and
gynecologist dedicated
to reducing invasive
surgeries, recently
became the first U.S.
surgeon to earn a
prestigious
accreditation for his
outstanding record of
performing and promoting
minimally invasive
procedures. The
World Record Academy
awarded Dr. Greg J.
Marchand and his
surgical team the
world’s record for
removing the largest
cancerous tumor -- a
17-centimeter
(6.69-inch) cancerous
ovarian tumor about the
size of a junior sized
soccer ball -- using an
incision smaller than a
dime.
Dr.
Marchand’s In-Bag
Morcellation Technique
for Minimally Invasive
Surgery for Cancerous
Tumors
Dr.
Marchand and his team
completed the procedure
using
“In-Bag” Morcellation,
a technique developed
by Dr. Marchand in which
the tumor is bagged and
broken down so the
particles can be
extracted one by one
laparoscopically.
Otherwise, patients
would need a sizeable
incision to surgically
remove such a large
mass, requiring
additional recovery
time, pain, risk, and a
delay in chemotherapy or
other medications. Dr.
Marchand, a
board-certified OB-GYN
specializing in
minimally invasive
surgery, worked closely
with a gynecologic
oncologist in completing
this amazing surgery.
While removing cysts and
tumors using
laparoscopic surgery is
a standard practice, it
is rare to use the
technique in conjunction
with an ovarian cancer
staging procedure.
Marchand
placed an
Endocatch bag (Endo
Catch™ II 15 mm Specimen
Pouch)
around the tumor through
incisions made through
the belly button, then
brought the lip of the
bag to the incision. He
then broke apart the
mass inside the bag and
took the pieces out.
Marchand said the
most difficult part of
the surgery was removing
the cancerous mass
without spilling any
cancer cells into the
abdomen. If
cancerous material
spilled back into the
abdomen, the cancer
could have spread and
worsened the patient’s
prognosis. The World
Record Academy verified
that this type of
technique had never been
accomplished previously
on any malignant tumor
this large.
Advancements in Cancer
Surgery are Just as
Important as Newest
Cancer-Fighting Drugs
Dr.
Marchand, who was
diagnosed in 2010 with
mixed-cell carcinoma (an
aggressive cancer of the
testes), said it is
particularly gratifying
that his technique can
help cancer patients. He
received surgery and
treatments in 2010 and
has been in remission
ever since. “I know what
it’s like to face a
diagnosis of cancer,”
Marchand said. “In my
opinion, advancements in
the surgical treatment
of cancer are just as
important as the newest
cancer-fighting drugs
and chemotherapy agents.
If we can use minimally
invasive surgery to take
some of the recovery
time and complications
out of cancer surgery,
then I think we’ve
really done a lot of
good for patients
fighting cancer.”
This is
Dr. Marchand’s second
world record in
laparoscopic surgery.
In 2008, Dr. Marchand
was awarded a Guinness World Record
for the removal of the
largest uterus
laparoscopically. In
this case, it was not a
cancerous mass, but a
seven-pound benign
(non-cancerous) uterus
that was removed. In
addition to the two
world records, Dr.
Marchand is extensively
published in
laparoscopic surgery
publications and was
recently recognized as
the first U.S. surgeon
to receive SOEMIS
recognition (Surgeon of
Excellence in Minimally
Invasive Surgery)
from The American
Association of
Gynecologic
Laparoscopist’s
(AAGL.org) and the
Surgical Review
Corporation

FAQ:
Why did it
take so long
for the
World Record
to be
awarded?
To verify
this record,
we had to
research all
the other
related
surgeries
that had
been
published to
determine if
ours was
truly the
largest
malignant
tumor ever
surgically
staged
through
completely
laparoscopic
means. After
our research
determined
it was, we
employed the
World Record
Academy who
underwent
their own
verification
process.
Following
the
completion
of these two
independent
verifications,
we can now
confidently
say that
this is
likely the
largest
malignant
ovarian
tumor to
ever undergo
completely
laparoscopic
surgical
staging.
What is
“In-Bag”
morcellation,
how is it
different
from just
breaking
something
apart, or
regular
morcellation?
In-Bag
morcellation
refers to
the surgical
technique of
placing an
object
inside a
bag, usually
plastic,
before
breaking it
into pieces.
Usually the
object is
broken into
small pieces
so that it
can be
removed
through
small holes,
thus not
needing to
make a large
incision to
remove the
object. This
high level
of caution
is reserved
for objects
that could
contain
cancerous
cells. In
the case of
suspicion of
cancerous
cells, it is
important
not to spill
the material
back into
the
patient’s
body
cavities
because
cancer cells
can “Seed”
or begin new
cancer
colonies if
they are
moved around
the body. In
this case,
we removed a
17-centimeter
cancerous
tumor
through a
hole that
was
approximately
1.4cm large.
This
technique is
one of the
more extreme
examples of
“In-Bag”
morcellation.
What did Dr.
Marchand
invent? Did
he invent
laparoscopy
or the
Ovarian
Cancer
Staging
Procedure?
Dr. Marchand
has
pioneered
techniques
for “In-Bag”
morcellation
and
particularly
the
technique
used in this
case to
remove the
large 17cm
tumor. The
technique
used here
involved
stretching a
1.10cm
incision in
the
umbilicus to
facilitate a
bag that was
made to fit
a 1.5cm
port. Thus,
the actual
size of the
hole after
stretching
around the
bag was
approximately
1.4cm. This
invented
technique
also
included the
painstaking
process of
removing the
mass through
the port
without
breaking the
bag. This
included the
use of
special
blunt
instrumentation
to remove
the tumor
without
breaking the
bag (and
spilling the
tumor). Dr.
Marchand did
not invent
laparoscopy
or the
Ovarian
Cancer
Staging
procedure,
but he did
invent the
technique of
removing the
large
cancerous
tumor, which
was then
added to a
Laparoscopic
Ovarian
Cancer
staging
procedure.
Is Dr.
Marchand a
gynecologic
oncologist?
No. Dr.
Marchand is
a generalist
OBGYN with
special
training in
minimally
invasive
surgery. A
board
certified
gynecologic
oncologist
was present
for this
surgery as
part of the
surgical
team.
Dr. Marchand
routinely
includes
consultation
with the
gynecologic
oncology
service as
part of his
care of any
patients
suspected to
have a
malignancy.
Dr. Marchand
would never
attempt to
perform an
ovarian
cancer
staging
surgery
without the
assistance
of a
gynecologic
oncologist,
and is very
appreciative
for the
patient care
that has
been given
his
colleagues.
Dr. Marchand
has referred
many
patients and
continues to
refer to his
esteemed
colleagues
practicing
gynecologic
oncology.
What do the
letters
after Dr.
Marchand’s
name mean?
The letters
represent
honors
bestowed
upon Dr.
Marchand by
different
certifying
organizations.

(aagl.org)
Why is this
record
recognized
by the World
Record
Academy and
not
Guinness?
Dr. Marchand
has
previously
received a
World Record
from
Guinness for
other
surgical
accomplishments.
Unfortunately,
Guinness
politely
declined to
recognize
this
achievement
and said it
was too
specific to
create a
record for.
We discussed
the
importance
of
recognizing
cutting-edge
surgical
excellence
in the field
of cancer
surgery with
The World
Record
Academy, and
they agreed
to recognize
the category
after
extensively
researching
the
accomplishment.
What is a
“Cancer
Staging
Surgery?”
A cancer
staging
surgery is a
removal of
the pelvic
organs to
treat and
determine
how far a
cancer has
spread. In
this case
the cancer
is an
ovarian
cancer we
are
discussing.
The surgery
includes
removal of
both
ovaries, the
uterus, the
omentum (a
fatty organ
in the
abdomen) as
well as the
removal of
lymph nodes
and other
biopsies. It
is a complex
surgery that
is usually
performed
through a
large
incision.
Although the
surgery has
been
performed by
laparoscopic
techniques
in the past,
we believe
this is the
largest
tumor to
ever be
staged using
a completely
laparoscopic
technique.
What is so
special
about this
record?
Hasn’t
cancer
staging
surgery been
performed on
larger
ovarian
tumors?
Yes, staging
procedures
have been
completed on
larger
tumors, but
we believe
that this is
the largest
tumor to
ever be
staged
through
entirely
laparoscopic
techniques,
meaning
without
cutting the
patient
open.
The unique
part of this
procedure
was the
removal of
the
extremely
large mass
without
spilling any
of the
contents in
the abdomen.
This was
performed
with special
instruments
using a
large bag.
The
technique
involved
exteriorizing
the mouth of
the bag and
then
removing the
large mass
bit by bit,
using a
technique
pioneered by
Dr.
Marchand.
There is no
question
that larger
tumors have
been staged
by
open-incision
procedures,
and that
larger
non-malignant
tumors have
been removed
laparoscopically
without the
need for a
cancer
staging
procedure.
How can you
be sure that
this is the
largest
tumor to
ever receive
laparoscopic
cancer
staging?
What steps
did you take
to verify?
It is very
difficult to
research
every single
cancer
staging
procedure
ever
performed.
However, we
performed
extensive
searches of
all
available
literature
and
publications
regarding
laparoscopic
ovarian
cancer
staging
surgery
prior to
presenting
our claim to
The World
Record
Academy. The
World Record
Academy then
went on to
verify the
claim
independently.
How would
the average
ovarian
cancer
patient
benefit if
all staging
procedures
could be
performed
though
minimally
invasive
means?
If all
ovarian
cancer
staging
procedures
could be
performed
using
laparoscopic
means,
patients
could enjoy
much faster
recovery
from
surgery,
with a much
quicker
return to a
high quality
of life.
This would
mean that
patients
could begin
any
necessary
chemotherapy
or radiation
treatments
sooner, and
be healthier
when they
undergo
these
treatments.
The overall
goal would
be a lower
mortality
and higher
quality of
life for
patients
facing a
malignant
diagnosis.
What gave
you the idea
to invent
this
technique?
“Well, I
have done
hundreds and
hundreds of
laparoscopic
cases where
I removed
benign
ovarian
tumors, and
as a
responsible
surgeon I
had to come
up with a
technique to
remove these
large masses
while
keeping all
of
morcellated
pieces
contained.
This was
especially
after all of
the negative
attention
that
morcellation
has received
following
the 2014 FDA
‘Black Box
Warning.’ As
a minimally
invasive
surgeon, I
knew that
simply
cutting the
patient open
was not the
best I could
do for my
patients.
After
studying
some other
in-bag
morcellation
techniques,
I developed
this
technique
which has
the
versatility
to be used
on even
extremely
large
masses.”
What gave
you the idea
to qualify
for a world
record?
“The idea
first came
to me after
talking to
some of my
friends and
colleagues
about the
huge tumor
that we
performed
the
laparoscopic
cancer
staging on.
Upon hearing
about the
17cm tumor
we removed
with in-bag
morcellation,
I was really
humbled to
hear many of
them say
that they
had never
heard of a
minimally
invasive
cancer
staging
surgery on
that large
of a mass.
One of my
colleagues
actually
said, “That
has to be
some kind of
record.”
It kind of
stuck in my
head, so
after I
talked about
it with my
office
staff, some
very smart
and
motivated
people at my
office
actually DID
check to see
if it was a
world
record, and
published
it. I'm very
grateful to
my amazing
clinical
staff, and I
really do
hope this
helps bring
attention to
promoting
minimally
invasive
surgery.”
What does
this
technique
mean for
Ovarian
Cancer
patients
with large
tumors?
“The In-Bag
morcellation
technique
itself is
great for
large tumors
whether they
are
malignant or
benign, and
allows you
to remove
extremely
large tumors
through a
small hole,
actually
smaller than
a dime.
The other
option,
which is
cutting the
patient
open, has
more
postoperative
pain, more
complications
and blood
loss, and a
lot longer
recovery. So
all patients
who receive
minimally
invasive
surgery will
benefit.
When you
combine this
technique
with a
laparoscopic
cancer
staging
procedure,
that’s when
you see a
real amazing
improvement.
You take a
large,
invasive
procedure
that has
always been
performed
through a
large
painful
incision,
and you
change it
into a
‘keyhole’
surgery that
a patient
could even
have on an
outpatient
basis.
That’s a big
difference.
Interestingly,
just
recently the
National
Cancer
Institute of
Milan in
Italy just
released
their study
on the
differences
between
laparoscopic
ovarian
cancer
staging and
the
traditional
open
procedure.
After
reviewing
more than
3,000 cases,
they found
that the
laparoscopic
procedures
were just as
good in
treating the
cancer, and
had less
blood loss,
fewer
complications,
and a
quicker
recovery.
Most
importantly,
they showed
that
patients who
also needed
chemotherapy
for their
cancer were
able to
begin their
chemotherapy
significantly
sooner after
laparoscopic
staging than
those who
had
traditional
open
procedures.
This means
less time
for the
cancer to
spread, and
a quicker
return for
that patient
back to what
they really
want, their
normal lives
back.”
What does
this mean to
you as a
cancer
survivor?
“I underwent
surgery and
treatments
after I was
diagnosed
with Mixed
Cell
Testicular
Cancer in
2010. I am
very lucky
that the
surgery for
my stage of
Testicular
cancer was a
very
minimally
invasive
procedure,
and that I
had a good
surgeon. I
remember the
horrible
fear of
‘just not
knowing what
was going to
happen,’ and
I think that
fear is
really worse
than any of
the pain of
the cancer
or the
treatments.
When I woke
up from the
surgery, I
really felt
great, and
over the
next few
days I had a
very quick
recovery. I
was able to
get back
into my life
quickly, and
although I
was still
afraid of
what was to
come, I felt
like I had
the strength
to fight.
When I think
about my
patients
with Ovarian
cancer, I
would like
them to be
able to come
out of
surgery
feeling like
they have
the strength
to fight, to
take on the
cancer.
I can
imagine that
when you are
recovering
from a one
of these
big, open
traditional
staging
procedures,
you’re in
excruciating
pain, you
really can’t
move, and
you feel
like you’ve
just been
hit by a
bus. I’m
sure you
don’t feel
strong and
ready to
fight the
cancer at
that point.
You might
just feel
like giving
up. If my
technique
can help
even a few
patients
avoid that
feeling,
then that’s
the most
valuable
thing in the
world to me.
That’s why
I’m really
passionate
about what
this new
cutting edge
technique
can do for
cancer
patients,
and I feel
it can be
just as
valuable in
the fight
against
cancer as
the latest
‘big pharma’
wonder
drug.”

Successful
Complete
Laparoscopic
Staging of
Ovarian
Cancer in a
Patient with
a 17cm
Malignant
Ovarian
Tumor

BACKGROUND:
As minimally
invasive
surgery
becomes more
and more
prevalent in
the US,
practitioners
continue to
push the
boundaries
of what
procedures
can be
performed
through
minimally
invasive
means.
In this
unique case,
a 17cm mass
was removed
without
spillage,
and after
removal of
the mass the
gynecologic
oncologist
was able to
present and
together the
two surgeons
were able to
complete the
omentectomy,
lymph node
dissection
and complete
the staging
procedure
completely
laparoscopically.
This is the
largest
known
malignant
tumor to
undergo
successful
laparoscopic
stagin.
ABSTRACT
A
47-year-old
Caucasian
female
presented
with pelvic
pain and
suspected
ovarian
torsion.
Patient was
taken to the
OR for
severe acute
pain, and
was known to
have a 17cm
right sided
ovarian
mass.
On
laparoscopy,
the mass was
found to be
perfused
with no
evidence of
torsion.
Frozen
section
after
removal of
the mass was
found to be
consistent
with an
adenocarcinoma.
This entire
tumor was
able to be
removed
laparoscopically
with the aid
of blunt
instruments
and an
in-bag
morcellation
technique,
avoiding any
spillage of
the contents
of the bag.
The
remainder of
the staging
procedure
was able to
be completed
laparoscopically
in
conjunction
with a
gynecologic
oncologist.
INTRODUCTION
Laparoscopy
is often
considered
preferable
to open
procedures
by patients
and surgeons
alike. It is
associated
with a
decrease in
cost,
recovery
time, pain,
and
postoperative
complications
[1]. One
practice
that is
often used
to aid
laparoscopic
procedures
is
morcellation,
a method of
cutting up
larger
pieces of
tissue in
order to be
removed
through
smaller
incisions.
In recent
years,
electro-mechanical
morcellation
has become a
point of
controversy,
due to the
risk of
dissemination
of malignant
tissue. This
prompted the
FDA to
release new
guidelines
and
contraindications
for the
procedure in
2014,
heavily
restricting
its use in
gynecological
surgery [2].
These
concerns
have led to
a decrease
in
laparoscopic
surgeries
overall,
despite the
clear
benefits to
the
minimally
invasive
route [3].
Here we
describe a
new
technique of
laparoscopically
removing a
17-cm
ovarian
adenocarcinoma
from a
47-year-old
Caucasian
female with
the use of
power
morcellation
within a
containment
bag in order
to minimize
the risk of
tissue
dissemination.
INITIAL
PRESENTATION
A
47-year-old
nulligravid,
morbidly
obese,
Caucasian
female had a
history of a
6 cm left
adnexal
cystic mass
that had
been
followed for
greater than
two years.
During that
time, there
was no
significant
change in
character of
the mass and
the
patient’s
CA-125
levels
remained
within
normal
limits for a
pre-menopausal
female.
The patient
had an onset
of severe
lower pelvic
pain
following a
vigorous
workout and
was inclined
to call an
ambulance.
At the time
of ambulance
arrival, her
pain had
largely
resolved,
and
therefore,
she did not
present for
care at that
time. She
later
arrived to
the
Emergency
Department
complaining
of severe
primarily
lower
abdominal
and pelvic
pain.
Transvaginal
ultrasound
and computed
tomography
scan
revealed a
large
left-sided
complex
adnexal
mass. Labs
included a
white blood
cell count
of 9.3,
hemoglobin
of 4.1,
hematocrit
of 41.2, and
platelet
count of
260.
Follicle
stimulating
hormone and
CA-125
levels
remained
pending at
that time.
Patient’s
reported
history and
imaging
studies led
to an
initial
suspicion of
ovarian
torsion.
Although
unable to
completely
rule out the
possibility
of
malignancy,
it was
reassuring
that the
mass had
been
followed and
stable for
greater than
two years
and CA-125
levels had
remained
within
normal
limits
during that
timeframe.
PROCEDURE
Patient was
taken to the
operating
room for an
emergency
laparoscopy.
A weighted
speculum was
placed in
the vagina
and the
cervix was
grasped with
a sharp
tooth
tenaculum in
order to
install a
Valtchev
manipulator
in the
cervix for
uterine
manipulation.
A Veress
needle was
placed in
the
abdominal
cavity
through a
small
incision at
the bottom
of the
umbilicus
and found to
be in good
position
with the
saline
needle drop
test, saline
needle
withdrawal
test, and
saline
needle
injection
test. The
abdominal
cavity was
then
insufflated
to a
pressure of
15 mmHg.
Next, an
11-mm blunt
laparoscopic
trocar was
placed in
the
abdominal
cavity. Two
laparoscopic
trocar ports
were placed,
one midline,
approximately
3 cm above
the pubis
symphysis
and a second
approximately
8 cm to the
right of
that
position.
Washings of
the
abdominal
cavity were
collected
and sent to
pathology
for
analysis.
Inside the
abdominal
cavity,
findings
were largely
within
normal
limits with
the
exception of
the right
ovary. The
right ovary
had no sign
of torsion,
but was
replaced by
a 17-cm,
large,
smooth-appearing
white mass.
A LigaSure
bipolar
coagulation
device was
used to
divide the
right
fallopian
tube from
its origin
at the
uterus, and
the
dissection
was carried
down along
the outer
edge of the
fallopian
tube across
the
infundibulopelvic
ligament in
order to
disconnect
the right
ovary. A
15-mm
EndoCatch
bag was
placed
through the
umbilical
port. Using
several wavy
graspers,
the mass was
then scooped
into the
EndoCatch
bag without
rupture, and
we were able
to
exteriorize
the mouth of
the bag
prior to any
rupture of
the mass.
Therefore, I
believe we
mostly
eliminated
the
possibility
of spilling
the contents
into the
abdominal
cavity.
There was
extensive
morcellation
of the mass
as it was
removed
through the
15-mm
umbilical
port. The
frozen
section was
sent to
Pathology
and was
discovered
to be
consistent
with an
adenocarcinoma.
Gynecologic
Oncology was
then
contacted to
assist with
the
remainder of
the staging
procedure,
which was
performed
laparoscopically.
This
included
total
laparoscopic
hysterectomy,
bilateral
pelvic and
periaortic
lymph node
dissection,
omentectomy
and left
salpingo-oophorectomy.
On follow-up
with the
patient 21
months after
the
procedure,
there has
been no
recurrence
of the
malignancy
and no
reported
complications.
DISCUSSION
In recent
years, the
use of
electro-mechanical
morcellation
in
gynecological
surgeries
has become a
point of
controversy.
The United
States Food
and Drug
Administration
released a
safety
communication
in 2014 on
the risks of
dissemination
of
malignancies
when using
electro-mechanical
morcellation.
It includes
two new
contraindications
against
power
morcellation
for fibroid
removal in
peri-menopausal
or
post-menopausal
women, or
those who
are
candidates
for en bloc
tissue
removal, as
well as for
any
gynecological
surgery
involving
tissue that
is suspected
to contain
malignancy
[2]. This
new
technique,
as described
above,
effectively
minimizes
these risks
by using
blunt
instruments
to
cautiously
transfer a
large mass
into a
containment
bag for
morcellation
and removal,
while
avoiding
rupture of
the bag
itself.
After this
patient’s
tumor was
removed, the
remainder of
the staging
procedure
was also
able to be
completed
laparoscopically,
an outcome
that can
make a very
large
difference
to cancer
patients
especially.
A reduction
in recovery
time will
allow
patients to
begin the
next steps
in their
treatment,
such
radiation or
chemotherapy,
sooner than
those who
undergo open
procedures.
This method
opens up
discussion
on more
widespread
use of
minimally
invasive
surgery. If
further
studies
support its
efficacy in
preventing
tissue
dissemination,
it has the
potential to
lead to an
increase in
candidates
for
laparoscopy,
the removal
of larger
masses
through
smaller
holes, and
ultimately
better
outcomes for
patients.
CONCLUSION
While this
report
covers only
a single
case, this
method is
step in the
right
direction
for
Gynecology
as a whole
and further
studies are
certainly
necessary.
The
controversy
surrounding
the use of
power
morcellation
in
gynecological
surgeries
has led to a
decrease in
minimally
invasive
procedures
which would
otherwise be
beneficial
to patients
[1,3]. This
new
technique of
in-bag
morcellation
with the aid
of blunt
instruments
has the
potential to
circumvent
these risks,
providing
the ability
to perform
laparoscopies
on large
ovarian
malignancies
without
spreading
cancerous
tissue.

Mac Users Love to
Extend the Life of
their Macs -- OWC
Provides THE Upgrade
Solution
Mac users love to
extend the life of
their Macs. A hard
drive upgrade
mid-life is a great
way to create
storage space for
files, apps and
software upgrades.
Higher-capacity SSDs
often bring faster
transfer rates, so
user data is readily
accessible. Once
again, OWC is
providing Mac users
with THE upgrade

functionality and
reliability. When originally
introduced, the

model offered a
256GB SSD

option. Current base
models start at
128GB to 256GB. The
OWC Aura Pro gives
users the freedom to
upgrade capacity to
meet their storage
needs.
The Aura Pro SSD
offers a wide range
of industry-leading
controller
technologies for
performance and
reliability,
including:
·
Global wear leveling
algorithm
automatically
distributes data
evenly and manages
program/erase count,
maximizing SSD
lifespan.
·
StaticDataRefresh
technology manages
free space,
gradually refreshing
data across the SSD
over time, enhancing
data integrity.
·
Hardware BCH ECC
corrects errors up
to 66-bit/1KB for
superior data
retention and drive
health.
·
Best-in-class power
consumption.
·
Advanced security
protocols support
AES 128/256-bit
full-drive
encryption.
Availability and
Pricing:
The 2.0TB Aura Pro
Solid State Drive
and Envoy Pro
storage solution are
now available for
same-day shipping.
Pricing is:
·
OWC 2.0TB Aura Pro

Solid State Drive
and Envoy Pro Kit –

Limited Warranty.

upgrades, there is a
free
‘how-to’ video
available to assist
in making upgrades
as easy and
affordable as
possible.

By Chemical & Engineering
News
Beyond new fibers and yarns,
some innovators are looking
to embed textiles with
sensors to create “smart
fabric.” Keith McMillen, who
heads BeBop Sensors in
California, explains that
his firm does this by
chemically treating fabric
with conductive polymer
coatings.
When a user
stretches or puts pressure
on the fabric sensors,
current flow is affected,
McMillen says. Printed
electronic traces bring
signals from the sensors to
a computer chip that can
measure a runner’s gait,
monitor a wearer’s heart
rate, or sense a person’s
body temperature.
BeBop recently
introduced a control glove
for virtual-reality
enthusiasts. Equipped with
haptic sensors, the glove
allows users to “feel”
objects virtually when
playing computer games. Also
on the drawing board are car
seat sensors linked to
airbag deployment systems to
better protect occupants in
case of a crash, McMillen
says.

OWC
ANNOUNCES SMART ALEC –
AVAILABLE IN BETA NOW ESSENTIAL UTILITY FOR YOUR
MAC DRIVES PREDICTS DRIVE
FAILURES
DON’T LOSE
IMPORTANT DATA, PHOTOS, VIDEOS, & OTHER FILES TO
DISK FAILURE AGAIN
“A Check Engine Light for
Your Disks” -- Constantly
Monitors Drives with
Predictive Failure Analysis
For Mac Hard Drives, SSDs,
Firewire Disks, & USB Drives Checks for Errors & Warns in
Advance if Disks Have Failed
or are About to Fail Free
Download from the iTunes App
Store -- $9.99 Upgrade
Available
Mill
Valley, CA,
June 14, 2017
–
OWC,
a leading zero emissions Mac
and PC technology company,
announced today
SMART Alec
https://www.smartalec.biz/,
an essential Mac utility
that constantly monitors and
checks your Mac hard drives,
SSDs, Firewire disks, and
USB drives, warning you
in advance if drives
are
failing or
about to fail, so
you’ll have plenty of time
to back up and replace a bad
drive. SMART Alec can help
you avoid losing years of
sensitive, irreplaceable
data from databases, word
processing, Excel,
PowerPoint and other
business files, precious
photos and videos, music
compositions, and more.
SMART Alec is currently
available in beta at:
smartalec.biz/beta_test.
The free final version of
SMART Alec and
$9.99 upgrade with
additional features
will be available in July.
“A
check engine light for your
disks,” Smart Alec’s Advanced Warning System
employs Disk Data
Analysis and Predictive
Failure Analysis,
quietly working in the
background to alert you if
your drives currently have,
or are developing
problems -- before it’s
too late and you experience
catastrophic disk failure.
SMART AlecTM
is available in July as a free download from the
iTunes App Store, with a
$9.99 paid upgrade
with additional
features, including
USB/Firewire disk
monitoring, email alerts,
and more.
Drives Frequently Fail --
Why Wait Until a Disk Drive
Fails to Take Action?
Although
users expect hard drives to
last forever,
drives can frequently fail
for numerous reasons,
including overheating, power
failures, surges from
lightning strikes, water
damage, and more. Once a
drive fails, it can be
virtually impossible or cost
hundreds to thousands of
dollars to reconstruct
sensitive data through a
computer technician or data
recovery forensics company.
Daily back-ups to a
secondary drive are also
risky, since unknowingly you
may be backing
up data from an already
corrupted drive or to
another drive with problems.
Instead of
waiting for the drive to
fail or just hoping it won’t
happen, users rely on SMART
Alec’s continual background
disk monitoring to protect
sensitive data --Why
wait until a disk drive
fails to take action?
SMART Alec
Free Version - Basic
Features:
•
PREDICTED-TO-FAIL DISK: If
your disk is likely to fail
in the near future, you’ll
get a “predicted to fail”
warning.
•
FAILING DISK: If your disk
is already failing,
SMART Alec will tell you
right away, giving you time
to replace your disk and
save your crucial data.
•
TEST YOUR DISK: SMART Alec
will display a green bar by
all disks that are healthy.
Still worried? Get
SMART Alec to re-test disks
at any time.
•
KNOW YOUR DISK: All the
information about your disk
is readily available with a
disk log to track your
disk’s history.
SMART
Alec $9.99 Upgrade -
Additional Features:
• “SMART
Over USB”: the
free version is for SATA
(Serial Advanced Technology
Attachment) drives only, not
USB/FireWire drives. The
upgrade
adds failure
prediction for most
USB or FireWire
connected drives, including
most USB 3 devices.
•
Email
Notifications: in
addition to desktop alerts,
notifications are also
emailed to you about failing
or predicted-to-fail disks
in case you are away from
your disks.
·
Blink Disk
Light: a light
blinks on the actual disk
corresponding to the disk
tile you have selected in
the Smart Alec application.
Available through iTunes App
Store
The
free
SMART Alec essential drive
utility and $9.99 SMART Alec
upgrade with USB/FireWire
disk monitoring and other
additional features will
ship July 2017,
with the free version
available through the
iTunes App store.
A Windows version is in
development. For more
information, see
https://www.smartalec.biz/
or Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/SMARTAlec.biz/.
Free Beta Version
Available Now
SMART Alec is currently in
its final beta testing
stage. To sign up as a beta
tester, go to
smartalec.biz/beta_test.
In future releases of SMART
Alec, users will be able to
opt-in to share data about
disk reliability and
performance with SMART
Alec’s self-learning disk
failure prediction system,
an algorithm which will
analyze disk data from users
to more accurately predict
likely disk failure. Once
opted in, users will get
access to the most
up-to-date statistics about
the safest—and least
safe—disks available and the
reliability of the disks
they are using.
The latest beta, SMART Alec
1.0 b26, offers support for
OS X 10.9 (Mavericks).

BEBOP SENSORS ANNOUNCES
MARCEL MODULAR DATA GLOVE
SOLUTIONS FOR VIRTUAL
REALITY OEMS
Launches Low Cost
Full-Featured Data Gloves
with Haptic Feedback for
VR/AR Applications Senses
Knuckle & Abduction Motions
of the Human Hand in 5, 10,
& 14 Sensor Versions Video at:
https://youtu.be/fM1UTwnIn6Q
Berkeley, CA, June 6, 2017
— BeBop
Sensors, Inc.
www.bebopsensors.com,
the leader in smart fabric
sensor technology, announced
today BeBop Sensors
designed Marcel Modular Data
Gloves for OEMS in the
Virtual Reality/Augmented
Reality markets.
Designed for accurate
control and navigation in
VR/AR environments, the
BeBop Data Gloves are
available to OEMs in 5,
10, and 14 sensor versions. The data gloves
provide haptic feedback and
sense knuckle and abduction
motion of the human hand.
Data Gloves for Real-Time
Control of Games &
Environments
BeBop’s basic configuration
provides high speed sensor
processing as well as a 6
or 9 DoF (Degrees of
Freedom) IMU (Inertial
Measurement Unit) which
measures acceleration and
angular rate. Fast,
deterministic sensing
provides sub-frame
latency at 120 Hz for
real-time control of games
and environments. Designed
by award-winning musical
instrument creator and BeBop
Sensors CEO,
Keith McMillen, McMillen
said: “All controllers need
to be accurate and fast. If
latency is more than 6-8
milliseconds, you are out of
the band.”
Tactile & Audio Haptics
Communicate a More Realistic
Touch Experience
Mezzanine boards can be
added to the printed circuit
board assembly stack to add
functionality, such as
translation and haptic
electronics. Haptics built
into the fingertips provide
a four octave range for
complex stimuli that can
convey surface quality
and object contact.
These non-resonant haptic
actuators help close the
loop of interaction between
humans and virtual devices
with contact and
continuous surface sounds
that drive the actuators,
communicating a more
realistic touch experience.
A haptic audio creation kit
is available, enabling
content creators to
customize and add to the
haptic library.
Using BeBop’s patented
fabric sensor technology,
BeBop Sensors’ Marcel
Modular Data Gloves are an
affordable and robust
solution for VR/AR and
gaming environments. Key
features include:
·
Modular: Marcel is a modular
data glove solution.
·
Accurate & Fast: 120 Hz
sub-frame latency for
real-time interaction.
·
Haptic Technology: contact
and continuous surface audio
drives haptic actuators.
BeBop Sensors-designed
Marcel Modular Data Gloves
are available exclusively
for OEMs. For more

New Accessory Makes
the MacBook Pro
Actually Suitable
For Pros
Christina Warren 1/04/17 7:40pm
One of the
biggest professional
gripes about the new
MacBook Pro—dongle
issues aside—is its
lack of
upgradability. Apple
made the decision to
solder the storage
onto the logic board
(just as it does
with RAM), making it
impossible for users
to upgrade past the
capacity they choose
at the time of
purchase.
Fortunately,
longtime Mac
accessory and
storage maker OWC
has a solution.
Dubbed the OWC DEC,
the device adds
additional storage
and ports to your
MacBook Pro. Unlike
other docks, this
one actually is a
dock. The MacBook
Pro will sit on top
of machine-milled
aluminum that houses
the NAND flash
storage and
additional ports.
Although most people
will probably use
the DEC on their
desk, it’s fully
portable. The DEC
will make the new
MacBook Pro about
the same thickness
as the old 2012
MacBook Pro with an
optical drive. It
also adds some
weight, but OWC says
it should still
weigh three to four
ounces lighter than
the 2012 optical
drive MacBook Pro.
I had a look at an
early (but working)
prototype model
without ports and
was impressed. Yes,
this adds thickness
and weight, but it
also makes the
MacBook Pro an
actual pro machine.
In addition to up to
4TB of additional
storage, the DEC
will also include:
SD card slot 3
USB 3 Type A Ports Gigabit Ethernet OWC told me they are
also looking at
offering
mini-DisplayPort in
certain
configurations and
may even look at
adding an additional
battery.
Although you can’t
upgrade the RAM
(something no Apple
laptop has allowed
since 2012), this is
probably the closest
solution you’ll get
to returning your
Touch Bar MacBook
Pro to what Apple
used to offer back
in the day.
The downside to all
of this is price.
OWC isn’t announcing
pricing—and the
volatile nature of
NAND memory chips
made it difficult
for them to give me
an estimate—but
expect it to be
expensive. I was
told that the 4TB
model would cost
less than what Apple
charges to go from
256GB to 2TB on the
MacBook Pro. Apple
charges $1400 for
that privilege, so
prepare to spend
serious money.
I can’t fault OWC
for its pricing
structure though,
this is a problem
Apple brought upon
itself when it
decided to continue
its evolution of
turning professional
tools into turnkey
appliances. If you
want a seamless way
to upgrade the
storage on your
MacBook Pro and you
want legacy ports,
this is one of your
few options.

Sonar Technology Based Smart
Home Controller for IoT
Devices by Clayton Moore!

New smart home controller Welle
turns gestures into IoT commands By Clayton Moore — March 31, 2017
5:43 PM
Why it matters to you
Some experts in the IoT market claim
voice recognition is the future, but
gesture recognition technology is
making its own inroads in the smart
home space.
There’s a new
entrant in the race to control your
smart home devices. A Chinese
company called Maxustech has made a
pretty good impression in the
Kickstarter world with the
Welle — a new smart home
controller that uses sonar to
recognize gestures as commands. It
feels a bit like using the Force to
turn your stuff on and off, which is
pretty cool by itself.
The
developers claim the Welle is the
first device of its kind to use
embedded sonar to detect human
motion for the control of smart
devices and apps. It’s the same kind
of tech that is used for high-level
sensing in drones and currently
being tested for self-driving cars
by a variety of tech giants. Because
it’s meant to be a universal
controller, the Welle can be used to
control a wide variety of devices
including lights, televisions,
speakers, door locks, thermostats,
fans, and more.
More: Researchers add gesture
recognition to nearly everything
The early bird price on Kickstarter
gets you one Welle for $69, and
Maxustech has raised over $30,000
based on a $20,000 goal. The product
will be in beta testing by May 2017
with production beginning in
September. Maxustech expects to
start shipping in October 2017.
In contrast to hands-free
devices like the Echo and Google
Home, Welle uses hand signals rather
than voice commands to control smart
home devices. It works by emitting
low-level ultrasonic waves and
collecting echoes that bounce back
within its sensing areas. Then the
device translates those echoes via
software algorithms into commands
for IoT devices, software
applications, or other controllers.
Because the device is designed to
utilize the latest Bluetooth
technology in concert with the
latest sonar tech, it also consumes
very little power.
The Welle
will detect gestures out to about a
meter, and recognizes at least a
dozen simple gestures. In a nifty
programming trick, the Welle
developers integrated a function
where a letter of the alphabet can
be assigned to a unique device. In
other words, just dash out an “X” in
the air, and you can fire up the
dishwasher or turn on certain
lights. The developers are also
using an open application program
interface to encourage software and
hardware to redefine gestures and
invent new functionalities.
“Our goal was to create convenient
control for people that could be
used anywhere,” says CEO & Founder
Mark Zeng. “Our team creates
technology that adds pleasure to
life by amplifying natural human
ability. The feedback has been
amazing.”
The development of
the Welle could also be the cusp of
a new age in IoT control. A recent
study by Juniper Research forecasts
that by 2020 there could be more
than 400 million motion- and
gesture-tracking devices. The
technology could also have a
fundamental connection to rising
technologies like virtual reality.

Welle Makes Any
Surface “Smart” Using Sonar
Technology
Tracks & Recognizes Unlimited Hand
Gestures & Handwriting to Control
IoT Devices
Welle Smart Device Turns any Surface
into a Universal Remote Control for
use with:
Lights, Windows, TVs, Doors,
Thermostats, Coffee Makers, & More
Controls PowerPoint Presentations &
Connects with IFTTT -- For Android &
iOS
March 28, 2017, Shenzhen, China –
Welcome to the modern world of
controlling devices. Welle (pronounced vell-uh)
is a smart
device that instantly turns any
surface into a “smart” interface
using Sonar Technology through hand
gestures. Welle
http://getwelle.com/
gives you the ability to use
unlimited simple gestures to control
your favorite Internet of Things (IoT)
devices, appliances, and apps – so
powerful it even tracks your finger movements and recognizes
handwriting. With Welle, the
entire surface becomes connected to
Sonar, allowing you to use hand
gestures to control all your smart
devices, such as lights, TVs,
speakers, doors, thermostats,
cameras, curtain/blinds, fans; and
even PowerPoint presentations, apps,
and IFTTT (If this, then that)
conditional task applets, and
more. Welle is launching today on
Kickstarter at:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1781885077/1423513448?token=74255447
Uses Most Advanced Sonar-based
Gesture Control
to Connect to All Kinds of IoT
Devices & Appliances
–
Mounts on Wall
Welle works in the home, office, or
anywhere with a Bluetooth
connection. Simply place the tiny
Welle on any convenient surface or
location, or mount Welle on a wall
with the included 3M stickers.
Working as a universal remote
for all kinds of IoT devices and
appliances, Welle uses the most
advanced Sonar-based gesture control,
replacing the multiple traditional
household remote controls for a
convenient and enjoyable connected
home and office experience. Welle
recognizes standardized gestures and
also lets you assign your own
gestures or handwriting short-cuts
to interact with devices
everywhere in your life.
Creates Custom Gestures, Tracking, &
Even Recognizes Handwriting
Welle means “wave” in German and
Welle’s logo shows two fingers
tracking human gestures with
ultrasonic waves. Welle uses Sonar
Technology, advanced ultrasonic
signals used in the military,
automotive and drone markets, that
can accurately track human
movements. Welle’s Sonar Technology
transmits signal pulses and collects
the reflected energy back from
targets, identifying motions,
gestures, and finger movements from
the echoed signals. These echoes are
translated into different
instructions and words to IoT
devices using an advanced hardware
design and software algorithms. The
Welle Sonar Technology tracks your
fingers when you touch a surface and
can even recognize handwriting
motions, transforming them into
customized actions.
Conventional gesture detectors, such
as those used in smartphones, only
provide single gesture readings. In
contrast, Welle provides rich
information, such as trajectory
data and digitized gestures,
enabling a wide variety of
control functions for everyday
convenience.

“Human hands are one of nature’s
most perfect creations. They are
highly sensitive and can manipulate
objects with fine dexterity. The
iPhone ushered in the era of touch
control, but its under-glass
technology diminishes the hand’s
tactile feel, limiting the ability
to control devices with a high
degree of sensitivity,” said
Mark Zeng, CEO, Welle.
“Welle overcomes this obstacle by
creating convenient controls for
people at home and at work. The
feedback has been amazing. People
first say ‘Wow!’ and then they ask
how they can get a Welle for
themselves and their friends. We
love that!”
Open API Now Available for Software
& Hardware Developers
Welle provides an open API
(Application Programming Interface)
for software and hardware developers
to redefine gestures, creating
infinite possibilities for
controlling devices and apps. Welle
features a well-designed API,
readable documents, example codes,
and a developer community with full
support. For moreinformation on the
Welle API, see:

"50
Sensational Female Guitarists" The Great Kat A belligerent
self-promoter with zero patience
for crap guitar technique, The
Great Kat’s September 2005 GP
interview, quite frankly, scared
the holy heck out of lots of our
readers. But this
Juilliard-trained violinist’s
turbocharged, speed-metal
readings of classical pieces
were pretty astounding when she
first appeared in the late
1980s. They’re still impressive,
in fact, and Kat (born Katherine
Thomas) may be one of the
fastest guitarists of all time.
If only she’d quit screaming at
us. —MM Notable Gear: Burns
