    KMI LAUNCHES K-BOARD PRO 4 ON KICKSTARTER-
    EXPRESSIVE 4 OCTAVE MPE MIDI KEYBOARD
    USES SMART FABRIC TECHNOLOGY TO FEEL & RESPOND LIKE A TRUE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT
    Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kmi/k-board-pro-4-smart-fabric-keyboard
    Video: https://youtu.be/owBe0dL8ub4 
     
    MIDI Keyboard Controller Provides Multiple Dimensions of Touch Sensitivity in Each Key for Vibrato, Depth, Brightness, Timbre, Octave Jumps, Presets, & More
    Compatible with Mac, iOS, Windows, Android, & MIDI
     
    Jaron Lanier, Composer & Virtual Reality Pioneer, says about K-Board Pro 4:
    “The K-Board Pro 4 is really musical because it’s the only MPE controller that you can just play like a keyboard that has a definite attack but also has all of the continuous dimensions.”
     

    Berkeley, CA, USA, December 1, 2016 -- Innovative hardware and software developer Keith McMillen Instruments (KMI) http://www.keithmcmillen.com is launching a Kickstarter campaign for capital investment for its innovative K-Board Pro 4, a four-octave MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) keyboard controller that is MPE (Multidimensional Polyphonic Expression) compatible with multiple dimensions of touch sensitivity using its proprietary Smart Fabric Technology in each key, the next product to come out of KMI Labs https://www.keithmcmillen.com/labs/, the R&D division of Keith McMillen Instruments (KMI), further forging the appeal of the cutting-edge company. The K-Board Pro 4 Kickstarter campaign is at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kmi/k-board-pro-4-smart-fabric-keyboard.   

    K-Board Pro 4 Feels & Responds Like a Musical Instrument 

    K-Board Pro 4 is a new kind of keyboard controller that feels and responds like a musical instrument — with all the nuances and sensitivity that makes an instrument musical. KMI Founder & CEO, Keith McMillen, an acclaimed audio and music technologist creating musical innovations for 30 years, explained, “We wanted to reclaim all of the powerful synth parameters that you can rarely access in performance and put them under your fingertips where you can play the heck out of them! Start with the familiarity of the classic keyboard and make it more responsive to take advantage of multidimensional expressivity.”  

    Brave New MPE World Employs Patented Smart Sensor Fabric Technology for Vibrato, Brightness, Timbre, & More Expressiveness 

    Thanks to the K-Board Pro 4’s familiar keyboard layout, musicians can seamlessly transition from a traditional piano performance to a brave new MPE world — without changing their natural technique, with the added ability to take total control over the character of their sound while playing. MPE is a new standard for electronic music controllers, like K-Board Pro 4, to communicate with favorite hardware classics and cutting-edge soft synths. K-Board Pro 4 is unique from other controllers because it employs patented Smart Sensor Fabric Technology under each key to independently output touch-sensitive XYZ data that can be mapped to any parameter, such as vibrato, brightness, timbre, and more, allowing users to play expressively in real-time with the nuance more routinely expected from an acoustic instrument. In addition, four touch-sensitive sliders can be mapped to anything, providing rapid access to parameters, such as octave, vibrato depth, or a preset to keep performers playing without interrupting their creative flow.  

    Only MPE Controller You Can Play Like Keyboard with All the Attack & Dimensions  

    Playing K-Board Pro 4 is like playing no other instrument on earth, just ask Jaron Lanier, innovator, computer philosophy writer, computer scientist, classical composer, visual artist, and virtual reality pioneer par excellence:  “The K-Board Pro 4 is really musical because it’s the only MPE controller that you can just play like a keyboard that has a definite attack but also has all of the continuous dimensions.” said Jaron Lanier. 

    Durable with No Moving Parts 

    The K-Board Pro 4’s design is strong and durable, with silicone keys, an aluminum frame construction, and no moving parts to ensure the trademark durability for which Keith McMillen Instruments is held in such high regard worldwide. USB powered and class compliant to ensure both portability and compatibility, the K-Board Pro 4 works with Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android, as well as MIDI-capable hardware.  

    Keith McMillen Instruments is in the final design and production with highly-functional prototypes already in the hands of professional keyboard players, with estimated delivery for K-Board Pro 4 on September 2017. “Our recent campaign for the BopPad Smart Fabric Drum was a huge success because of the support of the Kickstarter community. There really is no better place for a small company to launch a new idea than on this platform,” concluded KMI Founder Keith McMillen.

    BOOTH# A18

    BEBOP SENSORS INTRODUCES FIRST SMART HELMET SENSOR SYSTEM
    WITH REAL-TIME HIGH RESOLUTION, FORCE LOCATION SPECIFIC IMPACT INFORMATION
     
    First System to Capture Complete High-Speed Movie of Entire Impact Incident from the Head’s Point of View for First Responders & Trauma Analysis
    Employs 40 Sensors in Helmet Liner -- Scans Skull at 400 Times per Second 

    BeBop to Launch at IDTechEx Wearable USA Conference Held Nov. 16-17 in Santa Clara, CA – Keith McMillen, Founder & CEO, BeBop Sensors, to Speak Wed., Nov. 16 at 4:45 PM on Sensor Fabrics & Safety

    Berkeley, CA, November 16, 2016 — BeBop Sensors, Inc. www.bebopsensors.com, the leader in smart fabric sensor technology, announced today the BeBop Sensors Smart Helmet Sensor System, the first helmet system employing a Force Location Sensor System which uses BeBop’s revolutionary flexible fabric sensors for high resolution, location-specific impact information. BeBop’s Smart Helmet Sensor System is the first to capture a complete high-speed movie of the entire impact incident from the head’s point of view, providing real-time feedback with a customizable set of commands to a paired Bluetooth device for first responders and post-trauma study. The BeBop Sensors Smart Helmet Sensor System will be launched today at the IDTechEx Wearable USA Conference, held November 16-17, 2016 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California, BeBop Booth #A18. 

    Provides State-of-the-Art Analysis & Safety Response Commands without False Triggers from Accidental Drops 

    The Smart Helmet System provides state-of-the-art analysis tools that track the exact impact location and velocity thresholds. The system can also be programmed to trigger safety response commands, such as an emergency call or other response. Other safety helmets deploy accelerometer based technology, but do not have the ability to detect the exact impact point and history, causing false triggers during accidental drops.  Bebop achieves the ability to track exact impact point by using a latticed array of over 40 sensors embedded in the helmet liner, so multiple impacts are tracked and recorded in real-time and stored in F-RAM. The helmet system uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connection for data transmission, measuring 6-axis IMU acceleration up to 160 Gravities. Upon first indication of a potential incident, the sensor wakes up within milliseconds, then scans the entire skull 400 times per second, storing 16 seconds of event data internally, awaiting download. The lattice sensor arrangement allows custom design for any OEM helmet across innumerable use cases where intelligent, real-time monitoring safety mechanisms are required. 

    Valuable First Responder Information 

    “Strikes to the pterion (temple area) are far more dangerous than to the frontal bone. Knowing where the strike originated and how it propagates during the event can provide valuable first responder information as well as input for decision making to dial an emergency 911 number for assistance,” said Keith McMillen, BeBop Founder and CEO. 

    BeBop Sensors IDTechEx Booth & Speech 

    BeBop will be showcasing its Smart Helmet Sensor System as a Gold Sponsor at this year’s IDTechEx Wearable USA Conference in the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, California, held on November 16-17, 2016 Booth #A18. Come by the booth and hit the helmeted display mannequin BOB (Bang On Brain) to see real-time analysis and display. Keith McMillen, Founder & CEO, Bebop Sensors will speak on “Safety Applications for Fabric Sensors” at the IDTechEx Wearable USA on Wed., November 16th at 4:45 PM at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Great America Ballroom F Track 3.

    BEBOP SENSORS PARTNERS WITH KMI TO CREATE
    WORLD’S MOST RESPONSIVE & ACCURATE DRUM PAD:  BOPPAD
     
    BopPad Smart Drum Pad Uses Largest Smart Fabric Sensor to
    Accurately Detect Drum Hits, Velocity, Radius, & Pressure at a Speed of 2.4 Milliseconds for More Dynamic & Expressive Drum Performances & Recordings --
    No More Mechanical & Lifeless Electronic Drumming

    BopPad - drum stick BopPad - with drums

    Berkeley, CA, September 8, 2016 — BeBop Sensors http://www.bebopsensors.com, the leader in smart fabric sensor technology, announced today the world’s most responsive smart drum pad: BopPad. Created in collaboration with BeBop Sensors and Keith McMillen Instruments (KMI) musical instrument company, BopPad smart drum pad employs the world’s largest smart fabric sensor to create a uniquely expressive and accurate electronic drum pad for drummers, percussionists, and producers. BopPad interprets any style of percussion playing, providing accurate hit detection, velocity, continuous radius and pressure at a speed of 2.4 milliseconds with 4 independently programmable zones that output MIDI notes: velocity, pitch bend, pressure and location for the world’s most responsive and accurate drum pad.  

    BopPad - drummers

    Detects All Styles of Drumming, from Delicate Finger Strikes to Full Mallet Assaults 

    Most people think that drums are all the same, but the world of drumming includes many styles, including timpani, tabla, trap set, tubular bells, and more. Prior to BopPad, drum pads for controlling synthesis were limited to sensing a simple stick hit. BopPad has an extremely wide dynamic range, sensing all styles and pressures of drumming, from delicate finger strikes to full-on aggressive mallet assaults. BopPad’s robust tuned elastomer surface covers a 10” circle of BeBop Sensors’ patented Smart Sensor fabric, giving drummers a traditional feel combined with a whole new dimension of expressiveness for more dynamic drumming in performances and recordings.  

    Lower Cost than the Drums it Replaces 

    BopPad uses a continuous piece of smart fabric divided into multiple zones that are responsive to continuous pressure and location, making BopPad expressive as well as affordable. With a list price of $199, BopPad costs much less than the drums it replaces and is an easy and affordable way to add an electronic element to your kit without the mechanical and lifeless drum sounds that often accompany electronic music. 

    “You can only play a drum a few ways, but BopPad allows you to take that skill set and play drums in a way you’ve never played before,” said Alex Swain (drummer, Deltron 3030) and Dan the Automator (producer, Deltron 3030, Gorillaz).  

    BeBop Sensors CEO Keith McMillen said, “BeBop needed a way to test its Generation 8 Smart Sensor Fabric in a large format and satisfying the needs of percussionists while surviving the repetitive hits seemed like a great product idea.”  

    KMI President Evan Adams says, “KMI is known for our ultra-expressive synthesizer controllers. Many artists complain that electronic music is mechanical and lifeless, but that is due to the interface between the musician and computer. If the synth controller can only turn a sound off and on, it will never sound natural. BopPad solves this problem.” 

    Kickstarter Campaign 

    KMI created a Kickstarter campaign for BopPad that has already reached its goal in just over 3 days and continues to attract musicians and amateurs of all skill levels. Priced at $199, BopPad is available on Kickstarter with early bird discounted pricing. See the Kickstarter campaign at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kmi/boppad-smart-fabric-drum-pad-from-keith-mcmillen.

    Indiegogo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/fi-station-your-best-music-station-android-tablet#/

    September 6, 2016, Shenzhen, China – Fly Imagine http://www.fihifi.com, introduced today the Fi Station, the first all-in-one low-cost portable music, video, and entertainment center for recording and mixing high quality professional music, editing 4K HD video, listening to hi-fi audio, doing karaoke, DJ remixing, and watching HD video, movies, and other content. Priced for a limited time starting at $349 for pre-sale on Indiegogo at: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/fi-station-your-best-music-station-android-tablet#/, Fi Station combines top components, an elegant all-metal encased design, and all the ports and technology necessary for professional A/V use, replacing  professional sound and video equipment normally costing thousands of dollars.  

    Includes Pre-installed Fi App, Works with Android, iOS, Mac/PC Apps & Software 

    Unlike hard-to-use highly technical, expensive systems designed for a small number of hardcore professionals, Fi Station employs the ease-of-use of an Android touchscreen and comes preinstalled with the Fi app for controlling Fi Station’s input/output. Fi Station also gives you full control of a variety of Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac apps, software, and hardware configurations, giving powerful music and video production and mixing to all at a fraction of the price.  

    Created by the industry’s best designers in high quality Shenzhen, China manufacturing facilities, Fi Station is compact and lightweight, shaped like a tablet, with 9.7” or 11.6” display options and an aluminum alloy unibody with CNC shield noise and other technologies to make audio clearer. Whether you want to record or play music, DJ a party, play 4K HD quality video, watch a HD movie or perform karaoke, Fi Station can handle any request with ease.

    Fi Station Makes the Impossible Possible – No Need for Multiple Products to Get the Job Done 

    “Sometimes you find yourself needing to buy several products to meet your different needs – you might need a professional sound card to record, a Hi-Fi player to listen back to lossless audio, and a separate TV box to play HD videos. And even after you’ve bought all of these separate products, you’ll find that very few of them are compatible with each other,” said Fay Wong, Founder & CTO, Fihifi. “That’s why we created the Fi Station – an easy-to-use product that can be used in different scenarios, with high quality input and output capabilities, neatly wrapped up in a stylish design.”

    Honeybot Photo Honeybot - family photo

    August 24, 2016, Shenzhen, China – HuiYu http://www.honeyhy.com announced today the Honeybot educational companion robot for kids on Indiegogo at: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/honeybot-educational-family-robot-for-kids-entertainment-technology#/. An interactive Android-based home companion robot that uses Augmented Reality for learning, Honeybot is an electronic pet, teacher, storyteller, and a child’s best friend; educating kids with general knowledge, fun, fantasy, and good daily habits. Controlled remotely through a smartphone, Honeybot creates a new way for parents to educate and play with kids, employing 3D Augmented Reality (AR), Image Recognition, and Color Extraction Technology with educational apps to entertain, sing, tell stories, teach, and chat with kids -- it even works with all Google Play Store apps.

     

    Almost Human -- A Kid’s Best Friend with Likes & Dislikes

     

    Currently available in English and Mandarin (more languages available soon), children can virtually play with a 3D animated dinosaur and other animals on the robot’s or smart TV’s miracast screen. Honeybot was designed with a series of friendly expressions for use with social media, making Honeybot almost human -- a kid’s best friend with likes and dislikes, rather than a robot. Honeybot creates different voices for asking and answering and can even mimic a parent’s voice for a fun and interactive way to keep a close connection with children when parents are away. 

    Honeybot Pre-installed Apps for AR Learning & Teaching in 3D:

    -AR Aquarium App: a 3D drawing app specially developed for the kindergarten educational system by experienced preschool education experts. AR Aquarium transforms children’s drawings into 3D cartoon animations through image recognition and color extraction technology. Coupled with lively voice introductions and professional teaching lessons, it helps kindergarten teachers with art lessons, enabling children to learn about marine animals while studying painting.

    -AR Yolk World App: an interactive cognitive app aimed at early childhood and elementary school education, it uses the latest 3D imaging to show the child interacting with 90 lifelike images of dinosaurs, animals, and vehicles. The multi-angled app provides a real interactive sensory experience, making a big impression on kids (other augmented reality teaching courses are also optionally available).

    -Simulated Daily Life App: helps kids learn about the proper daily routines, behavior, and electronic pet raising. Honeybot is hungry, needs a bath, and is sleepy, and children need to learn to take care of the little Honeybot for the correct daily habits for themselves and pets. Honeybot shows a detailed presentation of food, making children more likely to eat healthy food and less junk.  

    Honeybot Features:

    -Interactive Multi-Screens: Miracast can be used through WIFI to display and control multimedia content between Honeybot and a smart TV for larger screen viewing of the robot’s display and less eye strain.

    -Voice Changing Live Talk: real-time communication between children and parents. The parent’s tone of voice is imitated so children can recognize him or her. Honeybot will play the parent’s voice and will act emotionally, providing Honeybot with human attributes. Children can also send voice messages to Honeybot and parents.

    -One Click Synchronization iOS & Android Audio/Video: parents can send audio/video to Honeybot after recording from a smartphone. Over 200 audio/video learning materials for 3-8 year olds is also provided, covering common knowledge, poems, songs, fairy tales, etc.

    -Video Call & Remote Monitoring: H.264 standard video enables smooth and clear video. Parents can initiate a remote video through the app (children cannot initiate to avoid disturbing parents). Parents can also send remote commands telling Honeybot to check on their children.

    -Daily Timetable Control & Honeybot Playtime Control: in order to help children form healthy routines, Honeybot can activate automatically in the morning to remind children to wake-up. In the evening, it can shift into intelligent dormant mode to only tell bedtime stories.

    -Honeybot Playtime Control: a feature to protect children from visual/mental fatigue. After using Honeybot for over 30 minutes when parents are not around, reminders are sent to parents to activate to dormant mode for 30 minutes. Parents can adjust the time or turn it off completely.  

    “Honeybot is an educational companion robot that will be loved by both children and parents alike. Entertaining, educational, and also interactive, it’s the best partner for children to grow up happily and healthily, and it connects children with busy parents,” said Zhongliu Chen, Founder & CEO, HuiYu. “The development of science and technology ultimately serves humans. We want a better life where high-tech meets our demands. After more than 3 years preparation and thousands of hours brainstorming, a group of young parents finally made this early educational robot, Honeybot, adopting both high-tech and edutainment.”

    Honeybot Robot Specs:

    ·        Over 200 audio and video learning materials with one-click synchronization.

    ·        Height/weight: 10’ tall, approximately 1.7 pounds.

    ·        Languages: English and Mandarin (more languages coming).

    PRIVATE COMPANIES
     
    KIDZ GEAR HAS 3 YEAR SALES GROWTH OF 126%
     
    Inc. 5000 is Most Prestigious Ranking of Nation’s Fastest-Growing
    Private Companies
     

    NY, NY, August 17, 2016 – Inc. magazine announced today that Kidz Gear http://www.gearforkidz.com is an honoree of the 35th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. Ranked in the top 56%, with a 3 year sales growth of 126%, Kidz Gear is the preeminent brand for consumer electronics products for kids, featuring headphones with the proprietary KidzControl Volume Limit Technology that protects children’s hearing by limiting the maximum volume allowed.  Kidz Gear Headphones are available in a variety of colors and styles, including wired, boom mic, and wireless Bluetooth, for use at school, home or when traveling. 

    Inc. 5000 Recognizes Small Business 

    The Inc. 5000 list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment — its independent small businesses. Companies, such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names, gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000. 

    “We are honored to be recognized by Inc. as one of the fastest growing private companies in the U.S. for our unique consumer electronics products for kids,” said Laurie Peterson, Founder, Kidz Gear.  “Remaining true to our slogan ‘Grown-Up Performance, Built for Kids!’ has helped us reach this incredible level of success. Now available in schools, libraries, airports, online, and stores worldwide, our kids’ products help protect children while they have fun, learn, and grow,” said Peterson. 

    The 2016 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com, with the top 500 companies featured in the September 2016 issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 23) is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 433%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $200 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 640,000 jobs over the past three years, or about 8% of all jobs created in the entire U.S. economy during that period.

    “The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great – usually from scratch. That’s one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails.” 

    The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring all the companies on the list will be held from October 18 through 20, in San Antonio, TX. Speakers include some of the greatest entrepreneurs of this and past generations, such as best-selling author and strategist Tony Robbins, SoulCycle co-founders Elizabeth Cutler and Julie Rice, Cornerstone OnDemand founder, president and CEO Adam Miller, Marvell Technology Group director and co-founder Weili Dai, and New Belgium Brewing co-founder and executive chair Kim Jordan.

    World’s smallest 360-degree camera is loaded with big features
    By Daven Mathies — July 16, 2016 7:13 AM
     
    Currently seeking crowdfunding on Indiego, the Nico360 claims to be the world’s smallest 360-degree camera, standing just 46 millimeters tall and weighing 96 grams. The tiny, block-shaped device from Hong Kong isn’t just small, however, it’s also surprisingly powerful, with features that make other 360-degree cameras seem lacking.

    The guts of the Nico360 are made up of two, 16-megapixel Sony sensors covered by dual, all-glass lenses. The camera outputs 360-degree video at 2,560 x 1,440p resolution. Video can be saved to the device’s 32GB of internal storage, or even live-streamed to an Android or iOS device over Wi-Fi. It supports both 360-degree web playback as well as VR headsets.

    Related: 360fly ups the ante on its 360-degree camera with 4K and live-streaming

    Designed for outdoor use, the Nico360 is waterproof and fits into a case with a standard GoPro-style accessory mount. An anti-slip grip pattern helps you keep ahold of the camera in any conditions. It also offers rotation and G-force data logging for tracking whatever epic, extreme-sport maneuver you try to pull off.
     

     

    Other features include Bluetooth, a 1,400mAh battery, and even support for Adobe DNG RAW files (presumably just for still photos). The camera also uses electronic image stabilization, which should help reduce camera shake. We’d prefer optical stabilization, but in a camera this small, that probably wasn’t an option.

    Video footage will be automatically merged into its final, 360-degree form through the companion mobile app. In addition to iOS and Android support, the NicoVR app for Windows PCs offers what appears to be fairly advanced editing controls.

    The Nico360 has a month left in its Indiegogo campaign, and currently stands at just under $3,000 raised of its $50,000 flexible goal. Interested backers still have time to get in on the early-bird special for just $99. That’s half off the expected retail price when the camera begins shipping in October. Other perks include accessories like a VR headset, monopod, and various mounts.

    BeBop Logo        BeBop Sensors Occupant Classification System for Automotive Market - Computer Vision Composite View  

    BEBOP SENSORS, INC. CLOSES ON $5 MILLION CONVERTIBLE NOTE –
    ONE OF THE LARGEST CONVERTIBLE NOTE INVESTMENTS FOR A STARTUP
     
    BeBop is Leader in Smart Fabric Sensors & Wearable Sensors
    Successfully Complete $5M Convertible Note
     
    Millions of Sensors Already in Use – Automotive is Key Vertical Market
    BeBop Has 6 Patents Issued – 10 More Pending
     

    Berkeley, CA, June 14, 2016 — BeBop Sensors, Inc. http://www.bebopsensors.com, the leader in smart fabric sensor technology and winner of the 2015 Frost & Sullivan Innovation Award, announced today that it has successfully closed on a $5 Million convertible note, completing its second tranche investment -- one of the largest convertible notes for a startup (based on Silicon Legal Strategy’s Seed Financing Report). With millions of sensors already in use, BeBop Sensors designs, manufactures, and delivers flexible fabric sensors for major OEMs, with its key vertical market in automotive, and additional markets in health, IoT, sports, medical, and gaming.  

    Only Fabric Sensor to Sense Physical Change - More Affordable, Lightweight, Thin, Washable, & Easily Deployed 

    Awareness and demand for smart fabric sensors that report physical change is growing at an extreme rate. Unlike most fabric sensors that contain wires and measure heart rate, BeBop’s proprietary technology is the only known viable fabric sensor solution that senses physical change, such as pressure, location, bend, and stretch. BeBop’s sensors cover a huge dynamic range, are durable, lightweight, thin, washable, and easily deployed. They are also more affordable – by a wide margin – than other sensor technologies. BeBop’s technology has been awarded 6 patents with 10 more pending, and awards and accolades include a 2015 Frost & Sullivan Innovation Award and selection by Gartner as a Cool Vendor in 2016. BeBop has millions of sensors in the field with paying customers, and is rapidly developing new clients. 

    “Competence in producing complete end-to-end solutions makes BeBop unique, potent, and an essential link between squishy humans and rigid electronics,” said BeBop Sensors Founder and CEO, Keith McMillen. “BeBop’s major vertical is automotive - autonomous cars, safety, HMI (Human Machine Interfaces), and the ever-growing need for OCS (Occupant Classification System) required for better airbag performance. We are engaged with 10 of the largest automotive manufacturers and tier one suppliers. Other active markets include IoT and consumer health.” 

    Many participants in the BeBop funding are investors from Keith McMillen Instruments (KMI; http://www.keithmcmillen.com), producer of electronic musical instruments whose work on fabric sensors started 8 years ago as part of the development of musical keyboards and drum controllers. BeBop Sensors was spun out of KMI in April 2014 to address the needs of OEMs for this new class of sensors. In addition to the $5 Million investment, BeBop will also be seeking a Series A financing to fund additional manufacturing capacity, as well as continue groundbreaking R&D to maintain its multi-year head start in the growing fabric sensor market. For more information, see BeBop Sensors website http://www.bebopsensors.com.

    June 8,  2016, St. Paul, MN – Yantouch www.yantouch.com, multiple winner of the Red Dot Award for their music consumer electronics designs, announced today the Yantouch EyE portable 3-in-1 wireless eye-shaped true stereo Bluetooth Speaker/Smart Light/Sleep-Wake-up Device. The Yantouch EyE features advanced wireless audio with enhanced bass, a Swiss horn inspired resonance tube and Dual Channel Stereo, with a flat, round design that perfectly fits the speaker driver for the most efficient sound-to-size ratio. The EyE includes a “Smart Light” multi-colored party light show that pulsates to the beat of the music with 16 million glowing, changing colors projected onto walls and ceilings and a free iTunes/Android DJ App “HueDJ.” The EyE also functions as a Natural Sleep/Wake-up Device with a sunset simulator to fall asleep with gradually dimming light and music and a sunrise simulator to wake up slowly with soothing canaries singing.  

    Dramatic Eye-Like Appearance – Instantly Turn-on & Pair 2 EyEs by Opening the Stands 

    Unlike traditional stereo systems, the Yantouch EyE sets up instantly. For a true wireless stereo experience, just place two EyEs to the left and right, and open the stands. The left and right speakers will automatically link together with a beep. Then connect your smartphone to the left (master) EyE through Bluetooth. The suggested distance from the smartphone to left speaker is 16 feet, although actual working distance may be much further. Both speakers share the same Bluetooth connection and play the same music while located in two different places.

    Lazertouch projector turns any flat surface into a touchscreen Android tablet

    By Paul Miller on May 11, 2016 03:43 pm
    Turning every conceivable surface into a touchscreen is a deeply held goal of the human race. We must not give up. We must not relent.

    Lazertouch is a new, small-ish projector that just showed up on Indiegogo and promises to do exactly what we all crave so desperately: turn walls and tables and other things into touchscreens. To detect touches, Lazertouch puts out a laser that is parallel with the surface. The projector is portable, with a 13,600mAh battery inside. But, most importantly, it runs Android so you actually have a touchscreen-optimized OS (and Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.) to work with.

    Shanghai Easi, the company behind Lazertouch, claims to have been working on this technology for five years, and to have been awarded seven "international" patents. The press release also mentions "support" for 4K video, but there's no mention of the actual resolution of the projected image.

    The suggested retail price will be $650, but if you're willing to risk it all on an Indiegogo preorder, you can pay $475 to fulfill your prime directive.

    I desperately want this laser-projected touchscreen Android tablet to work

    By Chris Mills on May 12, 2016 at 5:38 PM
     
    Android tablets have fallen so low in the standings that they’re being given away for free with Vizio TVs. But this crowdfunding project, which promises to turn any flat surface into a touchscreen with lasers — yep, freakin’ lasers! — will make tablets great again (if it works).

    Lazertouch (imaginative name, guys!) is a projector that uses lasers to pick up touch inputs on a flat surface. It runs Android, with all the usual smartphone niceties like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 32GB of storage and a 13,600 mAh battery, four times the size of most smartphones.

    So when you point it at a flat surface, what you theoretically get is a 15-inch Android tablet you can work on (or play games). Point it at a wall instead, and you’ve got an 80-inch screen to watch movies, or present PowerPoints if you’re a boring adult.

    There’s lots of question marks hovering over the project. Small projectors tend to be pretty crappy to start with, so the chances of this looking good in a well-lit room are low, to say the least. There’s also the usual Indiegogo caveats, such as production becoming hugely expensive, the prototype not translating well to full-scale production, or the founders stealing the money to build a house.

    If none of that is enough to deter you, and the prospect of a laser-powered Android tablet is too good to pass up, $475 will nab you one LazerTouch projector, to be shipped by July of this year. But just for the record, I will bet anyone $475 that you won’t get your reward by the end of this year, let alone in three months’ time.

    ANKOMN SAVIOR WINS RED DOT DESIGN AWARD
    FOR WORLD’S MOST POWERFUL NON-ELECTRIC
    VACUUM SEALED FOOD CONTAINER
     
    No Pump or Electricity Needed -- Saves Money & Waste
    Perfect for Meat, Vegetables, Fruit, Snacks, Tobacco, Herbs, Baked Goods & More
     

    Riverside, CA, May 16, 2016 – Ankomn http://www.ankomn.com announced today that Savior, the world’s most powerful non-electric vacuum sealed container ever made for food storage, has won the coveted Red Dot Award for Product Design 2016. Savior won for being one of this year’s best of the industry for its patented vacuum seal technology system that keeps food fresher up to 8 times longer, saving waste, money, and the environment. Savior keeps food at the peak of its freshness by forcing air out with each twist of the lid, locking out excessive humidity as well as dry air that can make food go stale. Savior keeps all food fresh, including nuts, tobacco, coffee, tea, truffles, herbs, fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, cheese, chips, and baked goods -- it even marinates meat.   

    The Red Dot Award is One of the Largest Competitions in the World 

    One of the largest competitions in the world, the Red Dot Award is voted by 41 jury members, who assessed a record number of 5,214 products from 57 nations this year. The Red Dot jury, consisting of independent designers, design professors and specialists journalists, discuss all entries live and on site according to the strict Red Dot statutes. Only outstanding achievements receive a distinction.  

    Easy operation – Creates an Air-tight Seal in Seconds with 3 Easy Twists of the Wrist!  

    Unlike expensive vacuum seal systems with complex operation, Savior doesn’t require a bulky hard-to-use pump or dangerous electricity. Savior creates an air-tight seal in seconds with just 3 easy twists of your wrist. The vacuum seal can also be easily released by pressing the button on the top of the container. In addition to the Red Dot Award, the Savior has been awarded numerous other awards and accolades, including the 2016 iF Design Award.  

    The Ankomn Savior non-electric vacuum seal container line is available immediately in white/brown, white/gray, and white/beige from http://www.ankomn.com and Thegrommet.com at https://www.thegrommet.com/savior, priced at $69.99 for the small 1.5 qt and $74.99 for the large 2.5 qt container. For a limited time, customers may purchase the set of both small and large containers for $124.99. For more information and to purchase, see the website http://www.ankomn.com, Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ankomn. The Ankomn brand was created by Enlifery, a leading designer of small home electronics.  

    About the Red Dot Design Award 

    The Red Dot stands for belonging to the best in design and business. Their international design competition, the “Red Dot Design Award,” is aimed at all those who would like to distinguish their business activities through design. The distinction is based on the principle of selection and presentation. Excellent design is selected by competent expert juries in the areas of product design, communication design, and design concepts. The Red Dot Award is organized by the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Essen, Germany. With more than 17,000 entries in 2015 alone, it is one of the largest competitions in the world. In 1955, the first Red Dot jury convened to assess the best designs of the day. The name and brand of the award were later developed in the 1990s by Red Dot CEO, Professor Dr. Peter Zec. Since then the sought-after “Red Dot” is the revered international seal of outstanding design quality. For more information, see: www.red-dot.org.

    BEBOP SENSORS ANNOUNCES AUTOMOTIVE SEAT SENSOR SYSTEM --
    MAKES AIRBAGS SMARTER -- IMPROVES AUTOMOTIVE AIRBAG SAFETY

    BeBop’s Fabric Seat Sensors Enable Intelligent Car Occupant Classification System (OCS)
    Continuously Measures Occupant in Seat: Leaning Forward or Back, Left or Right, Crossing Legs,
    Size & Weight, Detecting Child’s Booster Seat, and More
     

    Berkeley, CA, May 12, 2016 — BeBop Sensors http://www.bebopsensors.com, the leader in smart fabric sensor technology, announced today the new BeBop Sensors Automotive Occupant Classification System (OCS) featuring embedded car seat sensors with intelligent car occupant sensing technology for safer airbag deployment. BeBop’s smart fabric sensor OCS continuously takes full seat pressure images real-time,   detecting pressure information and movement from the entire seat for all aspects of physical contact between the occupant and the seat, including leaning forward or back, left or right, crossing legs, detecting the rigid bottom of a child’s booster seat,  the occupant’s size and weight, and more. See video demo here: https://youtu.be/episwxoevuU.  

    Current Car OCS Systems Only Estimate Weight of Passenger – Little Intelligence is Used 

    Current Automotive Occupant Classification Systems (OCS) only estimate the weight of a passenger in order to deploy or disable airbags when determining if a child or infant car seat is placed on the front passenger seat. In these old weight-based systems, a bag of groceries and a small child look the same, since they rely on a combination of outdated bladders, hoses, and pressure sensors to estimate the weight on the seat. Armed with only weight information, very little intelligence is used to determine airbag deployment, resulting in numerous malfunctions. Due to the increasing failure rates in current OCS systems and the resulting recalls, automobile manufacturers are looking for more intelligent and dependable OCS solutions. See article: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/30/business/nissan-recalls-3-5-million-vehicles-for-airbag-problems.html?smprod=nytcore-iphone&smid=nytcore-iphone-share&_r=1.

    BeBop Sensors Occupant Classification System for Automotive Market - Car Seat Recognition

    “Anyone trying to determine a person’s position, size, and seating attitude using only weight is making a faster horse. That technology is now obsolete. You can tell more about a person through a picture than a scale,” said Keith McMillen, BeBop Founder & CEO.

    The BeBop Advantage – Granular Detail in Real Time 

    BeBop’s high-resolution OCS sensing system provides the granular detail required for next generation classification systems, which need to distinguish subtle details and changes to an occupant’s position and movements in real time. BeBop’s flexible, waterproof OCS sensor system, at 1 mm, is thin enough to be placed under the seat cover. The fabric-based sensors are substantially lighter than any other liquid-based OCS solutions, ensuring minimal weight is added to the seat construction. BeBop’s OCS sensors also have no moving parts, further increasing reliability. The sensors are automotive grade (environmental specs and durability) and can be custom designed for any seat in the front or back row. 

    BeBop Sensors is working now with OEMs in the automotive industry to develop and deploy custom fabric sensors for OCS/safety applications, autonomous vehicles, comfort enhancement and soft-switch control interfaces.

    LAZERTOUCH WORLD’S FIRST MINI PROJECTOR TRANSFORMS ANY SURFACE INTO FINGER ACTIVATED TOUCHSCREEN

    Lazertouch Logo Lazertouch - lifestyle photo Lazertouch

    Turns Any Surface or Wall into a Gigantic 150-inch Portable Finger Activated Touchscreen for
    Interactive White Board Presentations, Meetings, 3D Movies, Immersive Gaming, & Interactive Ads

    Awarded 7 Patents – Only Touchscreen that Works with Finger or Stylus
    Light-Weight at 5 Ounces -- Supports 3D Holographic Projection
    Saves Eyesight Strain from Computer, Tablet & Smartphone Use
     

    See Indiegogo Campaign: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/lazertouch-mini-projector--2#/
     

    May 11, 2016, Shanghai, China -- Easitech announced today Lazertouch, the world’s first mini projector that transforms any surface into a finger-activated touchscreen. Small, weighing just 5 ounces, Lasertouch  projects a tablet-sized 20-inch to gigantic 150-inch display onto any wall or surface to create a virtual touchscreen and interactive white board for meetings, presentations, 3D movies, immersive gaming, VR, and more. Winner of 7 patents, with 5 years of R&D research, Lazertouch emits an invisible laser beam parallel to the projection screen. Much like a scene from a futuristic movie, when a finger or stylus touches the laser beam, the sensor detects and interprets the touch to add your comments, double click on an icon, stop or start a movie, or do anything else you would normally do with a touchscreen computer or device.  

    Lazertouch works the same as a tablet PC, featuring a built-in Android OS, downloadable apps, speakers, 32GB of storage, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, a 13,600mAh rechargeable battery, and ports for HDMI, USB, headphones and Micro SD. Lazertouch comes with an IR e-pen stylus, remote control, and pointer. See https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/lazertouch-mini-projector--2#/ for info.  

    Lazertouch - in meeting2 Lazertouch - in meeting

    Perfect for Business Meetings, Presentations, & Educational Use – No Need for Calibration
    Works with Just a Finger – Don’t Worry about Losing the Stylus
     

    Lazertouch is perfect for meetings, speeches, presentations and classes, with an instant push-to-start mode with no need for calibration -- just turn on and go. Lazertouch is the only mini projector that allows you to use a finger to quickly perform operations on the screen – no need to worry about a lost stylus. Users can also write smoothly with the included e-pen stylus, helping you deliver a powerful whiteboard interactive presentation with notes and comments. It even includes a pointer for clarification and emphasis – the essential portable device for teachers, speakers, and business executives. When conducting a group meeting, Lazertouch projects an approximately 15-inch screen on a desk or table that can be operated by finger or stylus as you would a tablet. Its versatile operation lets you transition to full screen on an up to 150-inch wall when more people come into the meeting – and it even works with interactive advertising boards. Lazertouch’s LED projection lamp also promises years of use with an estimated lifetime of over 30,000 hours. See the Youtube video for meeting demo: https://youtu.be/nJ3ZTa6N0Vk.  

    For at Home and School Use -- Saves Eyesight Strain from Computer, Tablet and Smartphone Use – Supports 200-inch HD & 3D Movies 

    Lazertouch lets you watch 4K, 3D, or HD movies at home with your family, supporting 200-inch HD movies and immersive VR gaming, and projecting musical instruments, such as a drum or piano without damaging a tablet or other device. Since Lazertouch works as a tablet PC projecting the image without a harmful LED screen, it is safe for children’s and adult’s eyesight -- perfect for learning and watching TV and movies with children at home or in school.

    BEBOP SENSORS NAMED A “COOL VENDOR” BY GARTNER
    Vendors Selected for the “Cool Vendor” Report are Innovative, Impactful & Intriguing
     
    BeBop Provides Patented Smart Fabric Sensor Technology to OEMs for Wearables, Sports, Healthcare, Automotive, & Manufacturing -- over 2 Million Smart Fabric Sensors in Daily Use
     

    Berkeley, CA, May 10, 2016 BeBop Sensors, Inc. www.bebopsensors.com, the leader in smart fabric sensor technology, announced today that it has been included in the list of “Cool Vendors” in the “Cool Vendors in Using IoT-Enabled Humans Instead of Robots, 2016” report by Gartner, Inc., May 3, 2016, by Michele Reitz, Analyst and Lead Author. BeBop Sensors provides patented smart fabric sensor technology to OEMs for use in a variety of markets, including wearables, sports, healthcare, automotive, and manufacturing. 

    Robots Promise to Revolutionize Business, but Humans are More Flexible –
    Enhancing Humans with Internet of Things Technologies 

    The Gartner “Cool Vendors” Report states, “Robots promise to revolutionize business, but humans are more flexible. CTOs should review operations and processes for opportunities to improve safety, performance and satisfaction by enhancing humans with Internet of Things technologies… New technologies that enable embedding sensors and actuators directly into fabric or clothing will enable wearables that more seamlessly integrate humans as virtual endpoints in the Internet of Things (IoT).” – Michele Reitz, Lead Author and Analyst, Gartner, Inc. 

    Shipping now, BeBop’s sensor technology is based on smart fabric technology that has been under development for 8 years. BeBop’s core sensor technology was originally deployed by Keith McMillen Instruments (KMI), which now has over 2 million smart fabric sensors in regular daily use in its musical instrument products. Award-winning BeBop Sensors was spun out of KMI in 2014 to take advantage of the growing need for practical fabric sensors, with a proven record in design, manufacture and performance. Bebop Sensors comprehend force, location, size, weight, shape and presence across any size, resolution and geometry.   

    “We are honored to be selected as a ‘Cool Vendor’ by Gartner. BeBop Sensors’ mission is to provide wearable sensors that ‘make things knowable’ for product designers, visionaries, businesses, and consumers. We are unique to have so many years of experience in providing robust solutions and feel this advantage will be seen in every sensor we make,” said Keith McMillen, CEO of BeBop Sensors

    Actually, there’s a non-supplement sleep aid that doubles as a wireless speaker called the Yantouch Eye, which will simulate sunset and sunrise lighting to ease mamma mia in and out of her precious REM winks. The Eye also links to the old smartphone or tablet to stream music and pumps out a pulsing-to-the-beat light-show (via its HueDJ app). Pair up two Eyes for a credible stereo sound to go with the disco-era SFX. Yantouch is a Chinese company and dubs its product the “best for party, romantic lifestyle speaker.” Hard to argue with that kind of poetry.

    Not to confine our fabulous omni-moms into galley-bondage, but here’s a cool unisex gadget called the Ankomn Savior, a non-electric, vacuum-sealing container that will marinate, store and extend the shelf-life of coffee (see above), spices or any organic substance that sees oxygen as the opposition party. A couple twists of the lid and you have an airtight seal in either the 1.5-quart or 2.5-quart versions—perfect for pistachios or pig’s feet. The Savior is even touted by demonic cannabis fanciers as the ideal storage device, not that Mom would allow that sort of behavior in her house! Mine did, but that’s another story altogether.

TUDIA Klip also fixes already frayed or damaged cables so you can continue to use them without awkwardly fixing them with tape, throwing them out, or buying new expensive Apple cables or cheaper 3rd party generic replacement cables, which are often incompatible with Apple devices. The TUDIA Klip is available now for $7 a pair at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/TUDIA-Charging-Protector-Lightning-charging/dp/B0106V7IES.

    Package Includes 2 Clips -- 1 for Each End of Cable 

    A thoughtful Father’s Day or graduation gift, the stylish TUDIA Klip protects and extends the life of expensive Apple charging cables by controlling bending at the most vulnerable points of the cable – the ends, ensuring that the cables will work when you need them the most – to charge your iPhone, iPad, iPod and Apple Watch. Measuring only ½” long and weighing a scant .08 oz, TUDIA Klip adds very little bulk or weight and comes in 5 colors – blue, green, pink, gray, and yellow to fit your style.  The TUDIA Klip package includes 2 clips (one for each end of the cable) to fully protect your essential Apple charging cables. To use, simply slide the color silicone base on the cable to the point where it meets the plug and then attach the white polycarbonate clip to lock the Klip into place for the ultimate in cable protection. 

    No More Broken Apple Cables 

    “After my iPhone died at an extremely important time and I was unable to charge it because of a broken Apple cable, I decided to create the Klip,” said Winson Teh, Founder of Aplars LLC. “Most people see their Apple cables start to fray within 6 months of continued use. Because of this, customers have been asking for a solution to the low quality charging cables that come with Apple devices. The TUDIA Klip is the essential solution to this problem.”

    ZIP SIM - SIM CardZIP SIM - SMS Activation

     

    Seattle, WA, April 14, 2016 – Otono announced today it has changed the name of its Ready SIM patented self-activating wireless service to ZIP SIM https://www.zipsim.us/ as part of an increased focus on ease of activation and customer privacy. The name change reflects a strategic shift to focus on the product’s main attribute, which is quick service activation through the company’s patented self-activation process. Simply insert the SIM, send a text message to 7850 with your U.S. zip code to instantly activate the SIM, and you will be assigned a local phone number and start the plan right away. There is never a need to activate the service through a dealer, website, or customer service representative. With the relaunch, ZIP SIM now offers the ability to change phone numbers twice after initial activation, as well as an enhanced focus on convenience and privacy. In addition, from now until April 30th, Otono is offering a 30% off Relaunch Promo Discount by using the code “ZIPSIM30” at check-out. See how it works at: http://www.zipsim.us/how-it-works.html

    Travel SIM Choice of Fortune 500 Companies -- Users Also Include Vacationers, Younger Customers, Customers Concerned with Privacy, & Those without Credit  

    The travel SIM choice for Fortune 500 companies sending employees to visit offices in the U.S., as well as business travelers and vacationers,  ZIP SIM has also seen a surge in use by younger customers (between the ages of 18-35) who are expressing a growing concern with privacy and those without credit. Other new ZIP SIM users include mobile work teams, emergency responders, law enforcement, political campaign offices, press, military personnel, and web and app developers. Everyone loves the simplicity and self-management that the ZIP SIM wireless service provides. ZIP SIM is also available at numerous trade shows, including Telecom Expense Management Summits, Mobility and Telecom Conferences, and developer and gaming events. The company is also partnering with members of the travel industry, including hotel, airline, and taxi and limousine companies who wish to provide their guests and customers with instant access to reliable cellular service on arrival in the U.S.  

    An Award-Winning Revolution in SIM Privacy & Protection of Personal Information

    “Best Plan for Short Visits” - PC Magazine

    The launch of Ready SIM in 2013 was heralded as a revolution in SIM privacy and ease of use. It was quickly adopted by the market and received the prestigious Fierce15 Award from FierceWireless as a market disruptor and was named “Best Plan for Short Visits” by PC Magazine. Ars Techica said, “I’ve never seen a simpler and quicker mobile phone setup.” The product saw tremendous adoption from a wide variety of customer groups, driving the demand for instant self-activating cellular service well beyond the expected initial target market.  

    In the current privacy sensitive environment, ZIP SIM provides a unique and robust solution. “Both corporations and individuals alike initially flocked to Ready SIM for the ease of activation, but were surprised and excited by the security and privacy included. As such, we will continue to put customer privacy at the core of our business while being 100% compliant with government regulations for the wireless industry,” said Oren Chervinsky, VP Global Sales & Marketing for Otono. 

    With the transition to ZIP SIM, existing customers can be assured that there will be no interruption in service:

            The ZIP SIM website, zipsim.us, will be available to place orders for ZIP SIM cards and purchase of long distance add-ons or top ups.

            Customers currently with a Ready SIM will still be able to activate once they arrive in the U.S.

            Customers with a Ready SIM will be able to top up their cards on the ZIP SIM website zipsim.us or by calling ZIP SIM Customer Care at 1-877-273-3540.

            All customer account information and order history is automatically transferred to the new ZIP SIM website. 

    “ZIP SIM is different. We knew there was demand for short-term service — just a little talk, text, and data for a couple weeks or a few days. Our self-activation technology also made it incredibly easy for customers to start their plans. Nobody wants to find a local mall with a cell phone kiosk and sit down with some sales rep to activate. The answer was to preload each SIM card with one of our plans, have that plan start right after the SIM is inserted and the customer texts a ZIP code,” concluded Chervinsky.

Featuring Ankomn’s patented vacuum seal technology, Savior keeps food fresher up to 8 times longer, saving money and waste. Savior keeps food fresh by forcing air out with each twist of the lid, locking out excessive humidity and dry air that makes food stale. Also perfect for marinating meats, Savior keep everything fresher, including nuts, tobacco, coffee, tea, truffles, herbs, fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, cheese, chips, and baked goods.   

    Winner of 2016 iF Design Award -- No Pump or Electricity Needed

Refrigerator and freezer safe, stacking vertically for space-efficient storage, Savior is stain-resistant and easy to clean -- just pop the container in the dishwasher and quickly hand wash the lid. Unlike expensive vacuum seal systems with complex operation, Savior doesn’t require a bulky hard-to-use pump or dangerous electricity. Savior creates an air-tight seal in seconds with 3 easy twists of the lid, and easily opens by pressing the button.

    NUGREEN LED DESK LAMP

     

    $70 newertech.com

     

    I’ve been using this excellent little task lamp all over the place.  It has a low-profile head filled with 50 bright white [4,500K] LEDs, which, along  its adjustable gooseneck, makes it easy to light just the right angle on a project. I’ve had it illuminate the locks under a video camera during a lock picking class, light a 3D printer bed for build photos, and help me with some fine electronics soldering. I like the nifty capacitive switch at the base – a touch of finger turns it on or off; a longer press activates the dimmer.

     

    I honestly didn’t expect it to be such a workhorse, but I really do grab it and take it from my garage workshop to my electronics workbench to the kitchen table, and elsewhere depending on where I’m working. Intriguingly, the cord running from a 12V battery source with ease, just in case you need to tinker on the go.

     NEWERTECH HDMI HEADLESS VIDEO ACCELERATOR NOW SHIPPING --
     SPEEDS UP DISPLAY, VIDEO, KEYBOARD & MOUSE USE
    VIA REMOTE ACCESS

    Re-stocked after Instantly Selling Out Thousands Are Now Deployed with ARA (Apple Remote Access) Users Around the World for Faster Mac mini Display-Free “Headless” Units Used as Networking, Storage, Media, & Home Theater Servers 

    Activates Full GPU/Video Performance on Mac mini without Attached Display –
    No More Choppy Video –
    Version Also Available Providing Same Acceleration
    Using Available Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt Connection
     

    February 3, 2016, Woodstock, IL — NewerTech www.newertech.com, a leading performance upgrades and accessories company for Macs, PCs, iPhones, iPads, and iPods since 1984, announced today that the NewerTech HDMI Headless Video Accelerator is now shipping after selling out immediately after NewerTech’s announcement in November. The NewerTech HDMI Accelerator is a simple adapter that plugs into the Mac mini’s HDMI display port to make “headless” display-free Mac minis used as storage and media servers think there is a display attached. The NewerTech adapter activates the Mac’s video drivers and GPU (graphics processing unit) for 100% full video performance with no more choppy images, slow performance, or mouse lags. 

    Adapter for 100% Silky Smooth OS X Video Experience 

    Because of the Mac mini’s compact size, superior storage, performance, and low cost, it is often used as   “headless” networking, storage, production studio media, and home theater servers with no need for a display which takes up space and power, or need for a keyboard or mouse. However, when the Mac mini is used without a display during Screen Sharing, its GPU isn’t activated. As a result, the interface lags, resulting in choppy screens and slow video, animation, cursor movements, menu navigation, and typing. Plugging the NewerTech HDMI Headless Video Accelerator into the HDMI port of the Mac mini solves this problem, engaging the GPU so your remote interface works exactly how you’d expect.  

    “Our HDMI Accelerator is so popular because previously when the Mac mini was used as a server, the best option was just to grin and bear the slow video performance whenever you needed to remotely access your mini. With our adapter, the Mac mini thinks there is a display attached, so you’re back to the 100% silky smooth OS X experience you know and love,” said Larry O’Connor, President, NewerTech. 

    Best-Selling HDMI Video Accelerator Shipping Now 

    Re-stocked after instantly selling out, thousands of NewerTech HDMI adapters are now being used by ARA (Apple Remote Access) users around the world for faster video in Mac mini display-free units. After having an initial production run flying out the door and selling out, we’ve restocked the HDMI Headless Video Accelerator adapter substantially to ensure ongoing supply and are back with availability after 8 weeks of shortage,” said O’Connor. Priced at only $19.50, the HDMI Headless Video Accelerator is shipping now, available at: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/ADP4KHEAD/. See video explaining how to use it at: https://vimeo.com/141568482. 

    Version Available for All Macs without an HDMI Port Available or Preferred 

    In addition to the HDMI Headless Video Accelerator, NewerTech also offers the Headless Video Accelerator for Mini DisplayPort, a video accelerator for all Macs without an available HDMI port. Compatible with Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt connections, the Headless Video Accelerator for Mini DisplayPort activates full GPU/video performance on non-HDMI Macs without an attached display for no more choppy video.

    NewerTech Logo  NewerTech HDMI Headless Video Accelerator   NewerTech HDMI Headless Video Accelerator with Mac mini 

    NEWERTECH ANNOUNCES HDMI HEADLESS VIDEO ACCELERATOR -- ELIMINATES LAG TIME FOR DISPLAY, VIDEO & MOUSE VIA REMOTE ACCESS
     
    Activates Full GPU/Video Performance on Apple Mac Minis without an Attached Video Display -- Makes Mac mini Think a Display is Attached  
     
    For Mac mini Display-Free “Headless” Units Used Remotely as
    Networking, Storage, Media, & Home Theater Servers

    November 10, 2015, Woodstock, IL — NewerTech www.newertech.com, a leading performance upgrades and accessories company for Macs, PCs, iPhones, iPads, and iPods since 1984, announced today the NewerTech HDMI Headless Video Accelerator, a simple adapter that plugs into the Mac mini’s HDMI display port to make display-free “headless” Mac minis used as storage and media servers think that there is a display attached. Using the NewerTech adapter, video drivers are loaded and the GPU (graphics processing unit) is fully activated for 100% full video performance with no more choppy images or mouse lags.  

    Plug It In & Restore Video Performance 

    Because of the Mac mini’s compact size, superior storage, performance, and low cost, they are often used as “headless” networking, storage, production studio media, and home theater servers with no need for a monitor, keyboard or mouse. When the Mac mini is used without a monitor, its GPU isn’t used. As a result, the interface lags, resulting in choppy screens and slow video, animation, cursor movements, menu navigation, and typing. Plugging the NewerTech HDMI Headless Video Accelerator into the HDMI port of the Mac mini solves this problem, engaging the GPU so your remote interface works exactly how you’d expect.  

    “In the past, when using the Mac mini as a server, the best option was just to grin and bear the slow video performance whenever you needed to remotely access your mini, which is an entirely inadequate experience,” said Larry O’Connor, President, NewerTech. “With the NewerTech HDMI Headless Video Accelerator, the Mac mini thinks there is a display attached, so you’re back to the 100% silky smooth OS X experience you know and love.”  

    NewerTech HDMI Headless Video Accelerator Specs:

    ·        Designed to the highest standards.

    ·        Includes proper shielding to prevent unwanted interference.

    ·        Works with:  Mac mini Mid 2010 (Macmini4,1), Mac mini Mid 2011 (Macmini5,1 / Macmini5,2 / Macmini5,3), Mac mini Late 2012 (Macmini6,1 / Macmini6,2), Mac mini Late 2014 (Macmini7,1)

    ·        Interface:  HDMI.

    ·        Maximum Resolution:  1080p.

    ·        Driver:  not required.

    ·        Required Software:  OS X 10.6.8 or later.

    ·        Dimensions when plugged in:  .25”(h) x .68”(w) x .58”(l).

    What 3-D Printing Can't Do

    Rapid prototyping has graduated to on-demand production. Here's what that means for the future of manufacturing.
    By Tina Amirtha

    Jack Strauser’s relationship with the Chinese manufacturing industry is incredibly tense. Strauser, founder and CEO of Florida-based company Dok Solution, believes a Chinese factory stole his electronic charging station designs and then offered them to a U.S. distributor, who now sells them.

    "I don’t have a million dollars to just throw around to defend my patent," says Strauser. "I’ll spend every dime I have, but I have a lot of patents. It could financially ruin me."

    Strauser is currently preparing to take the U.S. distributor to trial for patent infringement, with the claim that its main factory in Shenzhen poached his designs. But he fears that his small company may not be able to fight back against his much larger opponent. It’s a David and Goliath story that, in many ways, reflects the greater mass production economy.

    Reports about the faltering Chinese economy, the world’s leader in mass production, bring up questions over whether tectonic shifts are coming to transform the manufacturing sector. And given the sharp increase in global hardware startups since 2012, it remains to be seen if small businesses, like Strauser’s, have applied enough pressure yet on the manufacturing world to favor their interests. Rapid prototyping tools—namely desktop 3-D printers—have bolstered small businesses’ paths to market in recent years. While China’s manufacturing activity declines, is there an opportunity for 3-D printing to transform manufacturing even further?

    3-D's Limits

    "Digital printing is excellent, for me, to put my invention in a CAD design and have it made so I can get the samples. That’s where it saves money in the United States," says Strauser, who has over 25 years of experience in manufacturing.

    Strauser’s charging docks are good candidates for 3-D printing. Reduced to their components, his docks comprise a few pieces of plastic and some electronics. A 3-D printer could handle everything except the assembly and the electronic components—the resistors, capacitors, and inductors—which would need to be ordered separately, from China or elsewhere.

    Yet Strauser’s production lines will remain firmly planted in Chinese factories. A 3-D printer wouldn’t be able to handle the volumes of plastic Strauser needs to meet his clients’ volume demands within an acceptable timeframe and with a good quality standard; his distributors ask for a 2,000-item minimum. Mass production, he says, is the only method that can accommodate that volume at a reasonable price point, so he’s staying in China for that, choosing to struggle to keep his business afloat in the sea of factories and companies there.
    "None of the companies we work with would accept the quality of products that comes off a 3-D printer."

    For now, Dok's Strauser still goes to China five or six times per year. Lately, however, he has had trouble finding reliable factories to work with, witnessing firsthand how they are struggling to stay open, amid pressure to increase domestic wages and accommodate labor law changes. Over the years, he has moved from factory to factory, juggling three to four contractors at a time. If he had the money, he says, he would manufacture as much as he could in the United States. And 3-D printing wouldn’t be a part of the process.

    September 11, 2015

    Safe cycling is all about riding smart, and with the Livall Bling Helmet, using one’s head has become a whole lot easier. Advertised as the world’s first smart helmet, the innovative head protection is equipped with a total of 80 LED lights, which are activated through the handlebar-mounted Bling Jet Remote Control. The lights act as turn signals, allowing cyclists to keep their hands on the bike while still notifying drivers of their intentions.

    The Bling Helmet also features a 3-Axis Gravity Sensor that will detect an impact or fall and immediately transmit an SOS message to predetermined emergency contacts through the Livall Riding App. The hands-free communication is made possible with Bling’s Hi-Fi Bluetooth speaker, as well as a wind-cancelling microphone that works in conjunction with the rider’s handlebar-mounted phone in order to send and receive calls. It can even provide an audio version of text messages. Since the speakers are incorporated into the construction of the helmet, the rider can also listen to music without blocking out important ambient noise like sirens and car horns. The same technology can also be used while pedaling within a peloton, allowing cyclists to talk with each other via the accompanying two-way radio function—or strategize their next breakaway.

    Broadening the level of communication even further, the Livall Riding App also relies on what is claimed to be the smallest single-unit cadence sensor in the world. Livall’s Nano Cadence Sensor will track speed, distance traveled, cadence, and calories burned, eliminating the need for a separate ride computer. The same app also enables cyclists to safely take photos and videos of their ride and post them to social media.

    First rolled out at the IFA electronics tradeshow in Berlin in early September, the Livall Bling Helmet—with Bling Jet Remote Control and Nano Cadence Sensor—is currently available for order on indiegogo.com, for prices starting at $277, while supplies last. (The phone holder is an extra $79.) The first shipments are scheduled for October. (livall.com)

     
     



     

    VELOCOMP LAUNCHES POWERPOD: 
    REVOLUTIONARY CYCLING POWER METER AT THE TIP OF
    YOUR HANDLEBARS

    Technically Advanced PowerPod is First Bicycle Power Meter that Attaches to Your Handlebars
    Easy to Install – No Need to Swap or Modify Bike Components – Moves from Bike to Bike
     
    Superior Accuracy Measures Power in BOTH Legs up to 800 Times per Second
    Low-Cost -- Same Quality as Power Meters that Cost 5 Times as Much – 11 Years in Development
     

    Jupiter, Florida, September 8, 2015 – Culminating 11 years of design and technological advances, Velocomp, creators of computers that track performance and  measurement, announced today the patented PowerPod, the first power meter that attaches to your handlebars -- no need to change crank, wheels, pedals, or bottom bracket. Effortlessly moving from bike to bike, PowerPod measures power produced by both legs at up to 800 times per second, transmitting data to any ANT+ cycling computer that reads power (including Garmin, Bryton, or more:  http://www.thisisant.com/directory/). Low-cost and easy to install, PowerPod eliminates the compromises of accuracy, flexibility and affordability that cyclists must often consider when choosing to buy a power meter. PowerPod has received a very enthusiastic reception on Kickstarter:  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/powerpod/powerpod-power-meter-for-cycling-fitness. 

    Compact & Lightweight with Easy Installation -- Compatible with GoPro Mounts 

    Compact and lightweight, PowerPod weighs just 1.3 ounces (32 grams) and measures 1.96” x 2.2” x .7” (50mm x 58mm x 18mm). PowerPod includes a GoProTM style handlebar mount, and additionally is compatible with GoPro metal-machined mounts.  PowerPod sits underneath the handlebars and out of the way and has a control button and a status light for mode and function display. Installation is easy: just attach PowerPod to the handlebars, pair it with your ANT+ speed sensor and ANT+ bike computer, then ride. After 5 minutes, PowerPod’s automatic, one-time calibration process is completed.  

    Power is Most Important Way to Measure Cycling Performance 

    Power (measured in watts) is the most important measurement in cycling.  For competitive cyclists, more power means faster speeds and longer distances.  For enthusiast cyclists, more power means better physical fitness and more calories burned. Velocomp’s patented power measurement technology: accelerometer, air pressure, elevation, and speed sensors measure the forces acting on both legs, up to 800 times per second. PowerPod delivers measurement accuracy comparable to the most expensive “gold standard” both-leg crank power meters, and accuracy superior to one-leg power meters. In addition to accuracy, PowerPod is low-priced at $299, up to 5 times less expensive than other power meters, saving cyclists hundreds or even thousands of dollars. 

    Used by Pro Cyclists: Team Colombia, CCC Sprandi Teams, & Tinkoff Saxo VIP Club 

    PowerPod employs Velocomp electronics and firmware perfected over 11 years of development, and now used successfully by professional cyclists from Team Colombia, CCC Sprandi teams, and at Tinkoff Saxo VIP Club and Training events.  

    Works with FitBit & Other Fitness Trackers to Make Them More Accurate with Cycling 

    “Power is so fundamental for cycling performance that most serious cyclists, professional cyclists, coaches, and sports scientists use power as the fundamental way to measure and improve cycling performance,” said John Hamann, CEO of Velocomp. “With PowerPod, cyclists can experience the advantages of training and riding with a power meter and not have to compromise on accuracy, portability or affordability. In addition, PowerPod ANT/BLE (to be released in February 2016) will work with fitness trackers that today are highly inaccurate when measuring cycling effort.”  

    PowerPod Features:

    ·        Low-Price:  PowerPod is priced 5 times less than other power meters.

    ·        Accuracy:  with sensor readings up to 800 times per second, PowerPod’s both-leg measurement delivers accuracy equal to the most expensive crank power meters and superior to one-leg power meters.

    ·        Easy Installation: no complex set-up and calibration. Just put it on your handlebars and pair with ANT+ speed sensor and ANT+ computer.

    ·        Portability: works with all cranks, wheels, pedals, and bottom brackets. Moves effortlessly from bike to bike.

    ·        Includes: accelerometer, air pressure sensor, elevation sensor, speed sensor, mount, mounting hardware, and rechargeable internal battery, Micro USB cable.

    ·        Superior Design: light-weight and rugged design.

    ·        Waterproof: waterproofed to IPX6 standards. 

    PowerPod will ship in the U.S. in November 2015 for $299 and comes with the sensor, mount, mounting hardware and Micro USB cable. For more information, see PowerPod’s Kickstarter site: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/powerpod/powerpod-power-meter-for-cycling-fitness.

    Easy-Doks LogoDok Solution Patent for Adaptable Digital Music Player CradleDok Solution Patent System Method And Apparatus For Supporting And Providing Power To A Music Player

    U.S.-BASED DOK SOLUTION LLC
    DEFENDS PATENTS AGAINST LARGE FOREIGN COMPANY
     
    Lawsuit Illuminates Problem that Small U.S. Companies Have with Larger Foreign Companies
    Infringing on U.S. Patents Restricting U.S. Distribution to Big Box Retailers
     
    Dok Solution Has Been Developing Products in the U.S. for 25 Years, with Over
    40 Patented DOK Products for Cradling, Charging, & Music Entertainment 

    Largo, FL, September 2, 2015 – Dok Solution LLC www.dokcharger.com, parent company of Easy-Doks, a U.S.-based company that invents, manufactures and sells charging docking stations and music products for over 25 years, announced today that it obtained a favorable patent claim ruling (Markman Ruling) in the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida, in its continuing patent infringement and enforcement lawsuit against FKA Distributing Co. d/b/a HoMedics Inc. for products manufactured by Shenzhen, China-based Shenzhen Dehuida Technology Co., Ltd. The court ruled in Dok Solution’s favor, increasing Dok Solution’s ability to take the charging device company to trial for patent infringement in the lawsuit entitled:  Dok Solution LLC v. FKA Distributing Co., Case No. 8:2014-cv-0910-JSM-TBM, with trial set for November, 2016.  

    Dok Solution is protecting its patents from FKA, whose products are infringing on Dok Solution’s device cradling and charging patents. The court’s favorable ruling paves the way for Dok Solution to obtain a favorable jury verdict, which would be a great victory for U.S. companies as more and more foreign companies bring infringing products to the U.S., which restricts distribution of smaller U.S. company products to big box retailers. These big box retailers predominantly prefer selling products from large companies, not knowing that these large foreign companies may have illegally infringed on U.S. patents.  

    Protecting Innovation in the U.S.A. 

    In addition to an over 25-year history of innovations and patents for recording/playing music from music entertainment products, Dok Solution has been developing DOK branded products using the unique cradling and charging patents listed below for the past 7 years, with over 40 products developed. Dok Solution’s unique patented concepts include universal cradles for holding and charging smartphones, tablets, and other devices; supplying power to the device through a USB female port built into the clock radio speaker and more. See Dok Solution’s patent info:   

    ·        Dok Patent # 7,742,293 Adaptable Digital Music Player Cradle

    ·        Dok Patent # 8,432,667 System, Method And Apparatus For Supporting And Providing Power To A Music Player

    “Small U.S. companies must stand up and defend themselves against these larger foreign companies that infringe on U.S. patents and keep the smaller innovative companies out of big box retailers,” said Jack Strauser, CEO, Dok Solution LLC. “These big companies sometimes think that because they have money and are big firms, they can do whatever they want against the little U.S.A. headquartered companies.” Dok Solution is being represented by the Tampa, Florida-based Dixit Law Firm. Dixit Law Firm Attorney Shyamie Dixit said, “We are confident that justice will be served and that Dok Solution LLC will prevail in this case.”

    Utilizing the LIVALL Nano Cadence Sensor, the smallest single unit cadence sensor in the world, the LIVALL Riding App also perfectly syncs with other smart wearable devices, like smartwatches or pedometers, providing data that helps cyclists improve performance, which they can then share on social media sites. The helmet also includes a Phone Holder to keep the phone handy with an internal power bank battery so there’s no need to worry about the phone running out of power during the ride.  

    Hi-Fi Bluetooth Speaker Lets You Safely Listen to Music While Cycling 

    The Bling Helmet includes an internal Hi-Fi Bluetooth 4.0 smart speaker located on the helmet near the rider’s ear that lets cyclists enjoy music safely on the road. Featuring one-touch controls for start, stop, volume, song selection, and skip, cyclists can listen to their favorite tunes while still hearing road noise and car horns.

    CNET Selects NewerTech as one of Best iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Cases!

    By CNET

    USA Today on NewerTech LED Lamp – Holiday Gift Guide 2014! "Makes the perfect gift for college student dorm rooms, apartments, and bedrooms." - USA Today

    Best iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus cases

    NewerTech NuGuard KX

    We liked Newer Technology's NuGuard KX for the iPhone 5/5S and now you can get it for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. It's a slim case that offers good protection, thanks to "state-of-the-art" X-Orbing gel technology.

    Personally, I'm not a fan of the window on the back, but some people want you to know they're carrying an Apple phone.

    Available in multiple color options.


    Price: $29 (iPhone 6) and $39 (6 Plus)

    See more info and pricing for the Newer Technology NuGuard KX case.

    APLARS SHIPS TUDIA KLIP –
    INGENIOUS CLIP PROTECTS FRAGILE APPLE CABLES FROM DAMAGE
     
    Saves Money -- Fixes & Protects Apple Charging Cables from Fraying & Splitting
    Stylish TUDIA Klip Reduces Cable Strain by 80% with No Bulk
     
    Extends Life of Expensive Original Apple Lightning & 30-Pin Charging Cables
     

    St. Paul, MN, July 16, 2015 – Aplars, leading e-commerce store for electronic products and accessories, announced today that it is now shipping the TUDIA Klip http://www.tudiaproducts.com/klip, an ingenious tiny 2 piece silicone and polycarbonate clip that quickly snaps onto Apple Lightning and 30-pin charging cables, reducing strain by 80%, protecting your essential Apple charging cables from fraying and breaking, which often happens after just 6 months of use. The stylish TUDIA Klip saves money by controlling the cable from bending at the most vulnerable end points of the cables -- extending the life of expensive $25+ Apple cables, ensuring that they will be ready to charge your iPhone, iPad, iPod and Apple Watch when you need it most. Adding little bulk or weight (at ½” long and .08 oz), the Klip comes in 5 colors – blue, green, pink, gray and yellow, and is available immediately from Amazon at just $6.99 a pair at: http://www.amazon.com/TUDIA-Charging-Protector-Lightning-charging/dp/B0106V7IES.  

    As Essential as a Protective Case & Screen for Your iPhone or iPad –

    TUDIA Klip Also Fixes Frayed Cables – No need to Buy Incompatible Third-Party Cables 

    The Klip is essential protection for your Apple cable. It is as important as a protective case and screen is for your iPhone and iPad. In addition to preventing Apple cable damage, the TUDIA Klip also fixes already frayed or damaged cables, so you can continue to use them without attempting to fix them yourself with tape, throwing them out, or buying a cheaper third-party generic replacement cable, which is often incompatible with Apple devices. The TUDIA Klip package comes with 2 clips, one for each end of the cable. Simply slide the colored silicone base on the cable at the point where it meets the plug and then attach the white polycarbonate clip to lock the Klip into place for the ultimate in cable protection.  

    “After my iPhone died at an extremely important time and I was unable to charge it because of a broken Apple cable, I decided to create the Klip, an essential solution to this often documented problem,” said Winson Teh, Founder of Aplars LLC. “Most people will see their Apple cables start to fray within 6 months of continued use. Because of this, customers have been asking for a solution to the low quality charging cables that come with Apple devices. For this reason, I created the TUDIA Klip.”  

    Tudia Klip Features:

    ·        Protects Apple Lightning and 30-Pin charging/syncing cables for iPhone, iPad, iPod and Apple Watch.

    ·        Extends the life of cables.

    ·        Fixes already frayed or damaged cables.

    ·        Stylish, doesn’t add bulk or weight.

    ·        Easy to use, quickly snaps on.

    ·        2-piece design made of a durable silicone base and polycarbonate clip.

    ·        Reduces the need to buy expensive replacement cables or cheaper incompatible third party cables.

    ·        Available in 5 colors:  Pink, Blue, Green, Gray, and Yellow.

    ·        Priced at only $6.99 per pair. 

    The TUDIA Klip is available immediately through Amazon for $6.99 at: http://www.amazon.com/TUDIA-Charging-Protector-Lightning-charging/dp/B0106V7IES

    NewerTech Logo     Next Generation NewerTech Power2U Dual USB Wall Outlet

    NEWERTECH ANNOUNCES UPDATED POWER2U ELECTRICAL OUTLET INTEGRATING TWO USB PORTS IN STANDARD WALL OUTLET
     
    New Outlet is Easier to Install, Fits in More Places with Virtually Universal Compatibility
    & Eliminates “Vampire” Energy Draw
     

    Woodstock, IL, July 9, 2015 NewerTech, a leading developer of Macintosh, PC, iPod, iPhone, and iPad accessories, today announced the all-new, next generation NewerTech Power2U dual USB wall outlet that enables convenient charging of up to four mobile devices at a single electrical outlet.  The Power2U features two traditional 15 amp power outlets, plus two USB ports delivering an additional 2.5 amps via the USB ports, making the wall outlets “today ready” for charging the increasing numbers of mobile devices. 

    Designed for Easy Installation 

    The new Power2U utilizes a 14 cubic inch form factor, making it easy to install in virtually any electrical box.  The new compact design features integrated 14 gauge copper pigtails for easy installation and utilizes a standard wall plate which also allows installation in more places, even in multi-gang configurations. 

    The new Power2U is fully listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and features tamper-resistant AC sockets that are compliant with the National Electrical Code (NEC).  The Power2U is designed to meet current building codes and be safe for use in homes and offices.  Users can install Power2U in minutes thanks to the compact design and free how-to installation video. 

    Ideal “DIY” Upgrade For Multiple Device Homes 

    The emergence of different types of electronic devices increases the need for electrical outlets in modern households.  Lamps, clocks, appliances and other household items now compete with portable electronic items for a power outlet.  Power2U is a great solution for multi-device homes as it allows for up to four devices to be charged at a single outlet.  Whether in an office, living room, or beside a bed, the Power2U delivers convenience and blends seamlessly anywhere wall outlets can be installed.  Power2U is available in four colors for more choices in matching existing decor - White, Black, Light Almond and Ivory. 

    Money Saving, Energy-Efficient Design 

    To prevent “vampire” energy draw, the updated Power2U incorporates internal micro-switches to conserve energy when not in use. The micro-switches turn on the USB power transformer only when a plug is inserted into the port, preventing vampire energy draw. While most USB charging devices are constantly drawing power, Power2U has always been uniquely designed to draw power only when a device is connected for charging.  With five percent of U.S. energy consumed by vampire power of appliances and computer equipment, the updated Power2U is a smart energy decision that can reduce monthly energy bills. 

    Reviewers Praise for Power2U 

    The Power2U family has been critically acclaimed by numerous product reviewers:

    “...the future of technology in the present day...so effortless...became a mainstay in my USB power needs.”  Gaming Shogun 

    “No longer will you have to worry about plugging in 'wall warts' or running out of outlets.”  Andrew Kunesh, Macgasm 

    “If you (or your kids or your spouse) can’t keep track of chargers, these outlets can solve an irritating problem.”  James Barber, Under The Radar. 

    Compatibility 

    The Power2U is compatible with mobile and handheld devices that support charging through a USB port, including:

            Apple iPad (all models)

            Apple iPhone (all models)

            Apple iPod (all USB-chargeable models)

            Android tablets and phones with USB charging

            Tablet computers, cell phones, gaming systems (Nintendo, SONY PlayStation Portable, etc.), Bluetooth headsets, digital cameras and GPS devices that charge via standard USB plug.

    Availability and Pricing 

    The new Power2U outlet is available now from Other World Computing with a price of $24.99, and from other NewerTech distributors.  Power2U is available in four colors - White, Black, Light Almond and Ivory.

    $24.99

    “We’re excited to announce the next-generation NewerTech Power2U,” said Larry O’Connor, CEO, NewerTech.  “The redesigned Power2U is easier to install than ever before, and maintains UL and NEC safety standards.  It is a convenient and energy-efficient solution for charging and powering the growing number of mobile devices that modern households rely on.  While providing additional charging ports, Power2U also leaves the standard electrical ports more accessible.  These are great outlets for any home with multiple portable devices that require charging.”

    BEBOP SENSORS WINS FROST & SULLIVAN 2015
    TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION AWARD

    Frost & Sullivan 2015 Award

    BeBop Smart Fabric Sensor Company Recognized for Commercially Scalable Solutions
    for Global OEMs & Best Practices
     

    Berkeley, CA, June 15, 2015 BeBop Sensors, Inc. www.bebopsensors.com, the leader in smart fabric sensor technology, announced today that it has won the 2015 Frost & Sullivan North American Technology Innovation Award for its fabric sensor technology. Frost & Sullivan presented BeBop Sensors with the prestigious Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovations Award because BeBop Sensors provides the ideal solution for today’s flexible fabric sensors industry. Embedded fabric sensors are an emerging field with great potential in various industries, such as wearables, sports, healthcare, automotive, and manufacturing.  

    Mr. Sumit Kumar Pal, senior research analyst at Frost & Sullivan, said, “OEMs find it challenging to develop or procure smart fabric sensors that are multi-functional, reliable, and low-priced. Luckily for them, BeBop Sensor’s innovative smart fabric sensor technology meets these requirements, and because of its strong overall performance, BeBop Sensors is recognized with Frost & Sullivan’s 2015 Technology Innovation Award in Smart Fabric Sensors.”  Frost & Sullivan’s Technology Innovation Awards are presented each year to companies that are predicted to encourage significant growth in their industries, have identified emerging trends before they became the standard in the marketplace, and have created advanced technologies that will catalyze and transform industries in the near future. 

    BeBop CEO Keith McMillen said, “We’re very pleased to be recognized by Frost & Sullivan for our advanced position in the emerging smart fabric sensor market. Turning concepts into shipping product is the undoing for many startups. We are unique to have so many years of experience in providing robust solutions and feel this advantage will be seen in every sensor we make”. 

    Bebop’s Proprietary Monolithic Fabric Sensor Technology Senses 3D Behavior  

    BeBop Sensors designs and manufactures custom smart fabric solutions for OEMs. Since launching in Q4 2014, BeBop has completed 14 new sensors for OEM solutions in numerous fields. BeBop Sensors uses a proprietary Monolithic Fabric Sensor Technology that integrates all of the sensors, traces and electronics into a single piece of fabric. This approach affords greater sensitivity, resolution, range of deployment and fantastic robustness with diminutive size. Implemented differently than other wearables that measure physiology (EKG, EMG), BeBop measures physicality.  BeBop technology senses and displays pressure, XY location, bend, motion, rotation, angle, and torsion.  

    According to Engineering.com, “BeBop’s future looks promising. They tout a technology that has already caught the eye of hundreds of companies in a range of different markets, from athletic goods to medical sensors to automotive.” and Wearable Tech World said, “The solutions BeBop offer for integration into wearable products is an impressive list…Wearable technology is a hot topic right now, and it seems like BeBop Sensors is staking claim in the industry at the right time.”  

    Commercially Proven Fabric Sensor Technology Shipping Today 

    Shipping now, BeBop’s sensor technology is based on smart fabric technology that has been under development for 6 years.  BeBop’s core sensor technology was originally deployed by Keith McMillen Instruments (KMI), which now has over 2 million smart fabric sensors in regular daily use in its musical instrument products. BeBop Sensors was spun out of KMI last year to take advantage of the growing need for practical fabric sensors with a proven record in design, manufacture and performance. 

    New BeBop Prototypes:

    Automotive – “Smart Tire”:  adjusts suspension & anti-lock brakes/reports on tread depth

    BeBop has developed a prototype “smart tire” that can sense the road surface, tire profile, and detailed information about the contact patch -- the all-important hand sized area where the rubber literally meets the road. CEO Keith McMillen says, “While tire pressure monitoring is becoming standard, greater knowledge of the tire’s profile and road engagement can be used to adjust suspension, enlighten anti-lock braking and report on tread depth.”  See video on “smart tire” at: https://youtu.be/mo6DpZvinpk.   

    Gaming, VR & Medical - Disposable Data Gloves:  senses body motion, finger flexing, & abduction

    Other applications for the versatile smart fabrics include detailed sensing of bodily motion. A first generation prototype of an all fabric data glove provides information of finger flexing and abduction from 14 fabric sensors. Combined with BeBop’s previously announced data insole, a sophisticated VR sensing system for locomotion and manipulation is available to certain OEMs. The Monolithic Fabric Sensor Technology can be used to produce sensors that are priced low enough to be considered disposable by medical and industrial standards. See video of disposable data gloves at:  https://youtu.be/j-UYN4qMsYo.

    Universal Pressure Maps: smart chairs, hospital beds, etc.

    A simple single layer fabric sensor can map pressures from complex objects in real time. Size and resolution can be targeted for specific applications. A basic fabric sensor is responsive from 50 grams to 100 Kgs, a 2000:1 dynamic range. Resolutions from 2mm to 15mm with fabric thicknesses down to 0.3mm are readily available. Applications for pressure maps are numerous, ranging from smart chairs that correct posture to sheets for hospital beds that track patient handling. See video of pressure maps at: https://youtu.be/vab-Nig9MXc. 

    The award-winning BeBop Sensor Technology for OEMs is available now: “Make things knowable.” For more information, see the website: www.bebopsensors.com

    About BeBop Sensors

    LUCIDBRAKE BIKE BRAKE LIGHT COMPANY
    TO DONATE 20% OF SUMMER SALES TO
    CHARITIES CHOSEN BY RIDERS 

    LucidBrake Wireless Brake Light Makes Biking Safer –
    No Installation or Wiring Needed!
    Patent Pending LED Brake Light FLASHES at Slow & Stop Motions
    100% Waterproof, Works on Bicycles, Helmets, Backpacks, & Other Surfaces

    June 9, 2015, Parker, CO – LucidBrake www.lucidbrake.com, the smart LED lighting safer biking technology company, announced today that any bike-a-thon, triathlon, or other bicycle event raising money for a cause now has another way to raise money for their charity. If they sign up at www.lucidbrake.com  and tell their bikers about LucidBrake, 20% of every order by their bikers will be designated for their charity. 

    “Bikers raising money for a cause this summer have a new friend. LucidBrake believes in safer biking AND doing good, so we are giving 20% of every designated order we receive this summer to biking fundraisers,” said LucidBrake inventor and Microsoft author John Craig. “Our SMART BRAKE makes bikers safer on the road. Prevention is 100% better than healing broken bones and repairing broken bikes. I have family members who ride. I care about them and want to make all families safer. What better way than giving to a good cause?”  

    LucidBrake for Safer Riding – Features Advanced Computer Circuitry 

    LucidBrake detects slowing and stopping motions using all 3 axes of acceleration (right/ left, up/down, backwards/forwards) filtering out road bumps, grades, angles, and normal cycling movements. LucidBrake is attached by press-on 3M fastener material, tough enough to hold up metal siding on buildings in extreme outdoor weather conditions -- NO installation and NO wiring required!  

    LucidBrake’s 8 ultra-bright LEDs can be seen up to a ½ mile away at night and ¼ mile during the day so cars, other bikers, and pedestrians can see you braking, slowing down, or stopping, even at a distance.  The 8 LEDs blink as you move and blaze solid when you stop (just like a car’s brake lights).  Besides bikes, you can also use it on boats, jet skis, skateboards, wheelchairs, scooters, helmets, and even backpacks and more. 

    100% Waterproof - Works Underwater for Boating and Other Aquatic Uses 

    100% waterproof, the LucidBrake circuit board is completely encased in a special optically clear conformal coating recommended by Dow Corning engineers, so LucidBrake even works underwater for boating, biking in rain or snow, and other aquatic uses. This super-tough coating is used for solar energy projects, where long term exposure to ultraviolet light, intense heat and cold can take their toll. 

    LucidBrake Features:

    ·        Ultra bright brake light visible from ½ mile away at night and ¼ mile in the day to prevent cyclists’ injuries.

    ·        Easy to install, no wiring needed. Presses on securely with tough dual-lock fasteners.

    ·        Patent-pending innovative design.

    ·        Flat back allows it to mount onto multiple surfaces, backpacks, helmets, etc.

    ·        4 different beacon modes (flashing, fast flashing, solid, off) with modes aligning to the E.U. laws (off or dimmed tail-light).

    ·        Angled cover design increases degree of visibility.

    ·        Brake light has two speeds:  normal and emergency.

    ·        Brake Light Indicator:

    o       No pressing a pedal or button necessary.

    o       Knows when going over bumpy roads, down a hill, or really slowing down.

    o       Adjusts to the mounting angle.

    o       Flashes more intensely when stopping suddenly, alerting others.

    ·        No on/off switch: automatically goes into sleep mode when not in use or by changing the position of the unit or storing in flat or horizontal position.

    ·        Long battery life of over 1 year with 2 AAA batteries.

    ·        Waterproof :  operates underwater for biking in rain or snow—and even for boating!

    ·        Lightweight:  under 2 oz. total weight (including batteries).

    ·        Many other creative non-bicycle uses possible - such as at the end of long loads.

    OWC WIND & SOLAR ENERGY PRODUCTION TO EXCEED 100%
    OF ITS NATIONWIDE ENERGY CONSUMPTION NEEDS
     
    OWC Product Philosophy of Maximizing Resources
    Successfully Extended to Business Sustainability Initiatives 

    Woodstock, IL - April 22, 2015 – Other World Computing (OWC), a leading zero emissions Mac and PC technology company, announced today on Earth Day that as part of the company’s sustainability program, it will soon produce enough on-site wind and solar power to cover all energy needs for four facilities in three states (Illinois, Texas and Nevada), becoming completely energy independent due to its adoption of alternative energy sources. 

    OWC provides customers with products that allow them to maximize the longevity of their technology products and to improve the performance of those products. Since 2003, OWC has worked to extend this approach to its business operations, with the result that the company currently recycles 97 percent of its solid waste materials; received LEED® Platinum Certification by the Green Building Certification Institute in 2010; and will soon reach its goal of generating more power than it consumes. 

    Energy Independence

    OWC has focused on facility efficiency to reduce energy requirements with technologies such as geothermal heating and cooling systems and on-site renewable energy production for the provision of energy needs. The company kicked off its alternative, on-site energy generation program with the installation of a Vestas V39-500kW wind turbine in 2009, and quickly became the first manufacturer/distributor in the U.S. to become 100% on-site wind powered.  OWC’s headquarters in Woodstock, Illinois currently generates more power than is consumed at this location, where approximately 176 of OWC’s 215 team members operate from today.  The excess power flows out to the local power grid, providing a renewable source of energy to other energy consumers in McHenry County.

    OWC has also adopted solar power as an energy source.  In late 2012 and early 2013, OWC opened two new locations in Texas, and soon installed solar panels on the roof of its downtown Austin location.  Energized at the beginning of 2014, the highly efficient panels installed now generate approximately one-third of the power consumed by this three-story building, including the majority of power that is consumed by the third floor occupied by OWC.  As in Woodstock, excess power that accrues during low usage periods is put out onto the Austin Energy grid.  The project not only solidified OWC’s reputation as a leader in utilizing green technology, but it also helps to explain why the tech firm has fit in so well since it expanded into Austin about three years ago. 

    Even factoring in a total of four operational centers in three states, OWC’s current solar and wind generation still provides for approximately 88% of its total annual power needs, and OWC stipulates that any remaining power be purchased from available local renewable power providers.  The goal is to generate beyond the need of the organization at large.  To achieve this, a new project has already commenced to utilize the roof of the 37,000 square foot Woodstock HQ operation for solar generation.  Following the completion of this project, expected by early summer 2015, OWC will not only generate more power than is used at its four facilities, but will also add excess, clean wind and solar energy to the local power grid, and be able to continue to self-power as OWC continues to expand to new facilities in the future. 

    “Everything we do at OWC is about going further,” said Larry O’Connor, Founder and CEO of Other World Computing. “Taking technology further, enabling existing technology to go further with better performance and greater lifetime of productive use, and going further in support of our customers and their technology needs. Using proven technology to see our natural resources go further and reduce consumption and waste benefits the world we all share for today and our children tomorrow.” 

    The Illinois headquarters also benefits from a geothermal heating and cooling system.  Water is pumped into geo-wells set more than 200 feet into the ground, moving from the building to below ground level and then back, day after day, year after year.  If the water becomes warmer in the summer when passing through the building, it will give up that heat to the earth, 200 feet below the surface, where it is always a range of 47 to 54 degrees Fahrenheit.  The process works in the reverse during cold weather months, preheating the air for the heating system so the system doesn’t have to heat air from the outside, which could be at zero degrees Fahrenheit or colder.  For more information on OWC’s geothermal system, please visit http://eshop.macsales.com/green/points/energy.html 

    Recycling

    Starting with an aggressive corrugated box recycling program in 2003, OWC has expanded its solid waste recycling program to include all paper, plastic, and aluminum cans. The total of recorded recycled solid waste in 2005 was 32.5 tons. After moving to its new facility in 2008, OWC’s tally of recycled solid waste from 2008 to 2015 reached an impressive total of 287.3 tons -- materials that otherwise would have become part of the solid waste stream. 

    Non-recyclable materials such as food materials from the staff lunchroom go into a solid waste compactor, but only after being monitored to extract any recyclable materials. And a composting program for a new onsite employee garden has further reduced food waste, resulting in a compactor box only needing to be removed about every 11 months. Imagine having your trash picked up only once a year! 

    OWC continues to work at bettering its 97 percent solid waste recycling record by only using recyclable plastic and aluminum containers in company vending machines. OWC also takes “green” even further by helping with local fundraising efforts, through donating aluminum cans to a local animal shelter and used printer toner cartridges to local schools. And by using native plants in landscaped areas, OWC helps conserve water. 

    Green Buildings

    As part of its mission to design its new Illinois headquarters to be “green” from the ground up, OWC participated in the United States Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program. The result was that the new OWC corporate campus was awarded LEED® Platinum Certification in March 2010 by the Green Building Certification Institute, the highest achievable level. Out of more than 14,000 LEED projects engaged worldwide since the program’s inception, OWC is one of less than 300 to achieve the Platinum standard. With this recognition, OWC also became the first privately owned light manufacturing/assembly building in Illinois to obtain LEED Platinum status.  The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings.  

    In September 2010, OWC’s headquarters earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ENERGY STAR® rating for building operations that perform in the top 25 percent of similar facilities nationwide for energy efficiency.  OWC continues to upgrade existing buildings for even more energy efficiency, such as recently installing high-efficiency air-conditioning units in its Austin facility, as well as special dual-reflective window film that blocks up to 66 percent of the sun’s heat. 

    “Today on Earth Day, we remind ourselves of the importance of respecting the environment. We at OWC are proud of our dedication to a greener planet with LEED and Green Initiatives and are committed to preserving the environment with non-polluting sustainable wind turbine and solar energy solutions,” said Larry O’Connor, Founder & CEO, Other World Computing.

    LUCIDBRAKE SMART WIRELESS BICYCLE BRAKE LIGHT ANNOUNCED ON KICKSTARTER 

    Highly Intelligent Bike Brake Light Debuts on Kickstarter 

    Patent Pending -- 8 Ultra Bright LEDs Wirelessly Detect Stopping Motion Easy Set-up with Tough Press-on “Dual Lock” Fasteners Used in Buildings – No Installation or Wiring Needed! 

    Kids & Adults Are Safer Riding in Traffic – Awareness Beacon Visible from ½ Mile Away  

    100% Waterproof, Works on Bicycles, Helmets, Backpacks, & Other Surfaces 

    April 14, 2015, Parker, Colorado -- LucidLights, LLC www.lucidbrake.com, creator of smart LED lighting technology, announced today on Kickstarter, LucidBrake, the patent-pending smart wireless motion-sensing bicycle brake light with awareness beacon for safer biking in traffic, at night, or in groups. Available on Kickstarter at: http://bikebrakelight.com, LucidBrake is the most intelligent bike brake light on the market.  It mounts on virtually any surface, using all 3 axes of acceleration signals (right/ left, up/down, backwards/forwards) to detect deceleration and stopping, filtering out road bumps, grades, angles, and normal cycling movements.  

    No Installation or Wiring Needed 

    LucidBrake easily and securely presses onto the bike, rider, helmet or other surface with “Dual Lock” fasteners from 3M, extremely tough fastener material that’s even used to hold up metal siding on buildings in extreme outdoor weather conditions – no installation or wiring required! 

    Featuring 8 ultra-bright LEDs, LucidBrake can be seen up to a ½ mile away at night and ¼ mile during the day, ensuring that cars, other bikers, and pedestrians will see you braking, slowing down, or stopping suddenly, even at a distance.  The 8 LEDs blink as you move and alert solid when you stop (just like a car’s brake lights), detecting movement on boats, jet skis, bikes, skateboards, wheelchairs, scooters, helmets, and even backpacks, clothing, signs, and other flat surfaces. 

    Kickstarter Page Launched Today with Early Bird Pricing 

    LucidBrake is exclusively available for pre-order starting today through its Kickstarter campaign at: http://bikebrakelight.com. The first 25 backers will get the early bird discount special of $50, with additional backers receiving LucidBrake at the discounted rate of $69.99. In addition, some backers will receive the first-ever personalized product perk from this campaign, a customized 20 oz. stainless-steel water bottle emblazoned with their name, perfect for cycling excursions.   

    LucidBrake for Safer Riding – Features Advanced Computer Circuitry 

    If you’re a cyclist, you know how important it is to be seen by those around you -- being seen is being safe. Featuring advanced computer circuitry, LucidBrake knows the difference between slowing down and abruptly stopping, detecting motion with 4 beacon modes:  2 blinking modes, steady glow (tail light), or off (for racers) normally while in motion. It has a 2-speed braking indicator:  flashing quick alerts during sudden stops, glowing solid during normal stops.  100% waterproof, the LucidBrake circuit board is completely encased in a special optically clear conformal coating at the suggestion of engineers at Dow Corning to protect from the elements.  LucidBrake even works under water for boating or other aquatic uses. This super-tough coating is used for solar energy projects, where long term exposure to ultraviolet light, intense heat and cold can take their toll. 

    Light-weight Under 2 ounces for Endurance Cyclists -- 3 Inches Wide for Visibility 

    The inventors of LucidBrake interviewed cyclists who told them their main concern, besides safety, was adding weight to their rides. As many cyclists are endurance riders, they feel every ounce added to their bikes.  At under 2 ounces, LucidBrake adds very little weight and at 3 inches across, it gives cyclists the essential light and braking safety that they require.  LucidBrake works with 2 AAA batteries that last over 1 year, shutting off when not in use to save battery life. 

    “We’ve taken bicycle safety lights to a whole new level with LucidBrake,” said John Craig, inventor and owner at LucidLights LLC. “Simply attach LucidBrake to your bike, helmet, backpack, or elsewhere, add two AAA batteries and ride. There’s no wiring at all, not even an on/off switch. It’s that simple, easy to use, and it works great! LucidBrake is smart enough to self-adjust to the mounting angle, road grades, and bumps, making it the most intelligent brake light on the market.”

    Lucid Brake Features:

    ·        Ultra bright brake light visible from ½ mile away at night and ¼ mile in the day to prevent cyclists’ injuries.

    ·        Easy to install, no wiring needed. Presses on securely with tough dual-lock fasteners.

    ·        Patent-pending innovative design.

    ·        Flat back allows it to mount onto multiple surfaces, backpacks, helmets, etc.

    ·        4 different beacon modes (flashing, fast flashing, solid, off) with modes aligning to the E.U. laws (off or dimmed tail-light).

    ·        Angled cover design increases degree of visibility.

    ·        Brake light has two speeds:  normal and emergency.

    ·        Brake Light Indicator:

    o       No pressing a pedal or button necessary.

    o       Knows when going over bumpy roads, down a hill, or really slowing down.

    o       Adjusts to the mounting angle.

    o       Flashes more intensely when stopping suddenly, alerting others.

    ·        No on/off switch: automatically goes into sleep mode when not in use or by changing the position of the unit or storing in flat or horizontal position.

    ·        Long battery life of over 1 year with 2 AAA batteries.

    ·        Waterproof :  operates under water for biking in rain or snow, for boating, or other aquatic uses.

    ·        Lightweight:  under 2 oz. total weight (includes battery).

    ·        Many other creative non-bicycle uses are possible, such as at the end of long car or truck loads.

     

    Customer Testimonials:

    “Fantastic, well-thought-out product!”

    “Thanks, again for coming up with a bike brake light -- great product.”

    “I use mine everyday. I just love my LucidBrake!”

    10 Gadgets to Keep Mobile Pros Productive on Road or in Office by Wayne Rash
     
    Battery Pack Serves as Impeccable Power Source
    There are lots of small batteries that promise to give your smartphone a quick charge when you're out of the office. But most of them fall short because they don't pack the power to provide more than a partial charge. That's not so with the Impecca PEB10200, which packs an impressive 10,200mAh worth of charge in a case that's about the size of a BlackBerry Z30. This makes it small enough to fit into your pocket, but powerful enough to charge your phone, your tablet and probably a couple of other items. It will even charge two items at the same time.
     
    Getting Actual Work Done With Your iPad
    No doubt, there are people who can touch-type 80 words a minute on an iPad. But mere mortals could use some help if they need to type lengthy documents on their tablets. This is why they make Bluetooth keyboards for iPads and other tablets—so that you can be productive as well as mobile. When Impecca sent me that massive battery, they also sent along a Bluetooth keyboard that's designed to boost the productivity of the more tangle-fingered mobile device users out there. The keyboard is even made out of bamboo, so that it is light enough and thin enough to fit into a briefcase.
     
    Nuguard KX Phone Case Provides Military-Grade Protection
    We all know the worry that you have when you're out of the office that something bad will befall your smartphone, costing you money and also keeping you from getting your work done. Obviously, one way to prevent a fatal drop, say in the airport concourse between passport control and customs, is by using a protective case. One example is the Nuguard KX case from NewerTech. The company says it meets a variety of military specifications, including MIL-STD-8100 US. This probably suits most users' needs.

    Burg 12 Smartwatch Tells Time and Much More
    Of course, you can use your standard old analog wristwatch to tell you what time it is, but why waste that valuable wrist real estate just telling time? Now that smartwatches have read the market, it's all about having your life on your wrist as well as on your phone. The Burg 12 Smartwatch does about everything that you've heard that these devices do. But the Burg model adds more features. Where most smartwatches link to your phone with Bluetooth and an app, the Burg 12 doesn't need that. Deep inside the Burg is a slot for a SIM card and a micro-SD card. Plug in the SIM, and the watch becomes a phone. It makes calls using a GSM network, can send text messages and uses data just like your phone. But it will also link to your Android or iOS device with Bluetooth. As you'd probably expect, the watch is fairly bulky, and the screen is about 1 inch in size. You'll need the stylus that's hidden in the strap near the buckle to do anything with the keyboard. But it does work and even tells time.
     
    Low-Power Desk Lamp Brightens Those Gloomy Offices
    It's bad enough to get back to your office and then find yourself having to squint at the stuff on your desk as you work. Sure, that flickering fluorescent light in the ceiling is supposed to be adequate, but somehow, it's never enough. But a good desk lamp can make the job seem easier and the load lighter. NewerTech's NuGreen LED desk lamp provides plenty of light while keeping things cool because its uses less than 4 Watts of electricity.

    This Standalone Smartwatch Is Designed for Both Children and Senior Citizens
    Tech News for Your Bottom Line
     

    Dutch-inspired design firm Burg is launching a new device in the burgeoning smartwatch realm that singlehandedly targets two divergent demographics: children and senior citizens.

    Dubbed the Burg 31, the watch functions as a standalone phone with an included SIM card, and thus mustn’t to be tethered to another mobile device in order to place calls or send texts. However, it can be connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth if desired, according to the company.

    To this end, parents can monitor the whereabouts of their children via GPS tracking and seniors can make one-touch calls in the event of an emergency. “This special 911 emergency feature replaces the stereotypical, embarrassing and expensive ‘I’ve fallen’ pendant that seniors have an aversion to wearing due to the stigma it creates,” Burg said in a statement.

    The watch does not offer an Internet browser, according to the company, as a security precaution for children. Its face features analog timekeeping hands.

    Boasting a two-day battery life and water-resistant frame, the Burg 31 is available in eight colors, ranging from the sophisticated to the kid-friendly. It is priced at $129.

    Burg was founded in 2009 by Dutch lifestyle design veteran Hermen van den Burg, whose work has decorated the aisles of Ikea and Target. The company, which says it is committed to the idea of a “smarter smartwatch,” vends a total of 11 ‘smartwatch phone’ models.

    Nyack, NY, March 2, 2015 -- BURG www.burgwearables.com , the industry leader in smartwatch technology, announced today the new BURG® 31, the first standalone phone/safety smartwatch for kids and seniors.  The BURG 31 gives parents peace of mind knowing where their child is at all times and lets adult children monitor and quickly respond to their senior citizen parent emergencies.  This is accomplished through the GPS tracking and “Find My BURG” features that provide one-touch emergency SOS calls, speed dialing of up to 3 pre-set numbers, and an extended standby battery time of 2 days.  Water resistant and available in 8 cool colors:  light blue, orange, lime, red, pink, navy, gray and black, the round-shaped BURG 31 features advanced Miyota watch movement with traditional analog hands displaying time on the watch dial.  The BURG 31 is based on a 20-year history of BURG lifestyle fashion experience from the most advanced wearable technology company in the industry.

    Part of the 2015 BURG Wearables Collection, the fashion forward BURG 31 smartwatch functions as a standalone phone with an included SIM card to make and receive calls and texts without a smartphone needed (or it can connect to a smartphone through Bluetooth, if desired).  The BURG 31 is targeted to both the children’s market through its GPS child tracking features, as well as to the senior market through its 911 emergency call feature.  Unique to BURG, this special 911 emergency feature replaces the stereotypical, embarrassing and expensive “I’ve fallen” pendant that seniors have an aversion to wearing due to the stigma it creates.  With the BURG 31, seniors have an inconspicuous, fashionable watch with one-touch emergency access, 3 concealed pre-set phone numbers and GPS tracking.  In addition, both kids and seniors can choose from fun, vibrant hues or darker, more mature colors.  As an added benefit for parents, the BURG 31 does not have an internet browser so there is no possibility for children to stumble onto the dangers of the web. 

    Over 20 years of Lifestyle History – First Standalone Smartwatch/Phone 

    BURG is the first standalone smartwatch/phone, making it the leader in Wearable Technology and design.  The BURG 31 was created by Dutch lifestyle designer and trendsetter, Hermen van den Burg, CEO of BURG.

    The BURG 31 smartwatch features:

    ·        Standalone mobile phone.

    ·        Speed dial up to 3 phone numbers.

    ·        Miyota watch movement.

    ·        Includes micro SIM card inside.

    ·        GPS tracking system.

    IMPECCA #30932 SOUTH HALL

    IMPECCA INTRODUCES THE ALERT BAND AT CES: 
    Wearable Early Warning Fatigue Detector for Drivers -- Saves Lives
     
    Comfortable, Lightweight Bluetooth Device Monitors Driver’s Brainwaves to Detect Fatigue with Real-Time Alerts Sent to Androids or iPhones to Wake Up Driver
    3-5 Minutes Before Falling Asleep – 90% Accurate
     
    National Highway Safety Administration Estimates Driver Fatigue Contributes to 100,000 Accidents, 1,550 Deaths, 71,000 Injuries & $1.25 Billion in Losses Annually in the U.S.

     

    January 2, 2015, NY, NY -- ImpeccaTM www.impecca.com, a leader of impeccably designed audio, video, digital photo, computer peripherals, and kitchen and home appliances, announced today The Alert Band, a wearable early warning Bluetooth fatigue detector band that attaches to the driver’s forehead to sense fatigue and help prevent accidents.  The Alert Band monitors and analyzes brainwaves, sending real-time notifications and alarms to the driver’s smartphone, family and friends, as well as social networks, 3-5 minutes before the driver begins to doze off and fall asleep.  The notification and alarm are intended to wake him/her up and are designed to save lives. 

    The Alert Band uses Bluetooth 4.0 technology to connect to the driver’s iOS or Android smartphone, transferring raw data collected by The Alert Band’s forehead sensors and transmitting the data to its app on the smartphone.  The Alert Band features a smartphone App that uses a numbering system, from 0 to 100 to indicate the user’s fatigue level, sending out an alert when the driver’s fatigue level is too high.  0 indicates fully awake and 100 means you should not be driving, a score of 80 or higher is considered dangerous – and the driver should stop driving and take a rest immediately

    Essential for All Drivers: Truck, Taxi, Subway & Bus, Pilots, Sales People, Vacationers, Commuters, & People with Sleep Deficiencies  

    User-friendly, Light-weight and comfortable for long periods of use, The Alert Band fatigue detector is essential for all long distance drivers, including truck, taxi, subway, and bus drivers, sales people, vacationers, commuters, and anyone else that operates a vehicle, boat, or plane for long periods of time, including pilots, boaters, and people who have sleep-deficiency related problems, such as insomnia or sleep apnea.   

    Your Guardian on the Road -- Impecca Conducted Years of Testing -- Over 90% Accuracy   

    According to The National Highway Safety Administration, annually in the U.S., driver fatigue contributes to 100,000 accidents, 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries and $1.25 Billion in financial losses.  The Alert Band developer experienced these statistics first hand.  He created The Alert Band after a friend was severely injured in a car accident when the driver who hit him fell asleep behind the wheel. He decided to create a device that alerts drivers in advance when they’re experiencing fatigue.  It also alerts the driver’s family or friends to call or talk to him/her to help stay awake.  The device was created by conducting years of testing with hundreds of participants using a simulator for an over 90% accuracy rate.  Through EEG brain scanning testing, Impecca saw that the area in charge of fatigue is located in the forehead, so they created a user-friendly thin forehead device that, unlike most unwieldy EEG units, easily attaches to the forehead and is easy to use and comfortable to wear for long periods.   

    The Alert Band Key Features:

             Wearable fatigue detector monitors driver’s alertness.

             Sends real-time alerts and notifications.

             Light-weight, easily attaches to forehead.

             Comfortable to wear for long periods.

             Made of safe materials.

             User-friendly.

             Uses Bluetooth 4.0 technology to connect to Android or iOS smartphones.

             Includes App which provides a score of 0 (fully awake) to 100 (don’t drive).  80 is considered dangerous, take a rest or stop driving immediately.

             Includes long-lasting rechargeable 20 hour battery.

             Years of testing with hundreds of participants on a simulator.

             Over 90% accurate.  

    The Alert Band will be available May 2015 through major retailers, Impecca.com, and online, priced at $249.99.  For more information, see the website www.impecca.com.

    Track Driver Alertness in Steering Wheels

    For Clothing, Shoes, & Gear for Sports, Medical, Gaming, Robotics, Aerospace, & Security
    Applications Include Controllers, Measurement, Monitoring, 3D Modeling, & More 

    Berkeley, CA, October 27, 2014 – BeBop Sensors, Inc. www.bebopsensors.com, the wearable sensor technology company created by musical instrument inventor Keith McMillen and KMI, announced today their first product, the BeBop Wearable Smart Fabric Sensor, the first and only ultra thin wearable smart fabric sensor that measures all aspects of physicality, including bend, location, motion, rotation, angle, and torque.  Employing BeBop’s patented proprietary Monolithic Fabric Sensor Technology, BeBop fabric sensors continuously provide real-time reporting on force, x/y location, bend, twist, size, stretch and motion for markets, including clothing and protective wear, shoes, healthcare devices, athletic equipment, automotive, robotics, aerospace, gaming, biometrics, prosthetics, recycling monitors and appliance markets. 

    Smart Fabric Sensor Solutions Provide 3D Maps of Data

    BeBop Elegant Smart Fabric Sensor Company for OEMs Spun Out from KMI Musical Instrument Innovator 

    Created for the rapidly-growing wearable technology market, BeBop sensor technology was created after six years of developing smart fabric sensors for more expressive musical instruments, such as KMI’s popular QuNexus and QuNeo keyboards.  After being approached by numerous companies requesting KMI’s fabirc sensor technology, KMI launched spin-off company BeBop Sensors to fulfill the demand. 

    BeBop’s variety of solutions available now for integration into new wearable products:

    ·        Wearable Controllers:  for sleeves of jackets or shirts to connect to smartphones to answer calls, adjust volume or select songs, all while the smartphone remains in the user’s pocket.

    ·        1mm Thin Shoe Insoles:  measures gait, pressure, contact style, fit, and flexure of toes and feet.

    ·        Planar, spherical or cylindrical geometries:  used as pressure maps, head sensors or handles of athletic equipment.

    ·        Weight Lifting Gloves:  indicate weight and even load.

    ·        Foot Volume Sensing:  anticipate Diabetic events.

    ·        Cycling Shoe Inserts:  power meters.

    “BeBop is a natural step for KMI, where we have diligently tuned fabrics, geometries, and production processes allowing us to ship over 1 million sensors to some of the most demanding musicians in the world,” said Keith McMillen, Founder, KMI and BeBop Sensors.  “All musical instruments are essentially sensors with forms of acoustic processing attached.  The same care and creativity used to build our instruments will serve well for our non-musical customers as we expand into the wearables market.”

    BeBop is now offering custom turnkey sensor solutions for OEMs to incorporate into their products, ranging from basic sensors to complete wireless solutions with advanced power management.  Visualization programs for any design with an easily-modified SDK (Software Developer’s Kit) allows manufacturers to create custom apps by choosing from a variety of 2D and 3D representations and colors or by driving the BeBop data into whole new applications.   

    “Good designs get the job done, great designs strive for an elegance and simplicity that will make the integration of wearable computing a seamless part of everyday life,” said McMillen.  When McMillen created a foot controller allowing disabled people complete control of a computer, Forbes reported: “In 1984, Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs made the computer mouse mainstream. In 2010, Microsoft introduced the Kinect, allowing computer gamers to control video games by moving their bodies. And on June 21, 2011, Keith McMillen Instruments introduced a gadget that lets you use your computer with your feet.”

    SOUNDMATTERS ANNOUNCES PASSING OF FOUNDER DR. GODEHARD GUENTHER

    NASA ENGINEER/AUDIO LEGEND

     

    Reno, NV, October 20, 2014 – Soundmatters www.soundmatters.com announced today with great sorrow the passing of its founder, NASA engineer and audio legend Dr. Godehard Guenther, on October 16th following an inspiring battle with gastric cancer.  Born on April 9, 1939 in Bochum, Germany, Dr. Guenther earned his undergraduate degree in physics at the University of Göttingen and a PhD in astrophysics at the University of Heidelberg.  He funded his studies with freelance photography and geological survey work for clients around Germany.  Dr. Guenther joined the National Academy of Sciences as a fellow in 1968.  A year later, recruited by Dr. Wernher von Braun, Dr. Guenther emigrated to the United States where he worked with a group of scientists at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, to develop an experiment that was part of America’s first space station.  He left NASA in 1972 to pursue his growing interest in acoustics, dedicating himself to pushing the size and performance boundaries of existing audio equipment.

     

    Dr. Guenther was a pioneer in American high fidelity consumer electronics, initially importing Braun loudspeakers to the US, then founding Analog + Digital Systems (a/d/s/) of Wilmington, MA, which later acquired Braun Audio. There he led the development of such innovations as the use of rare earth metals, including samarium cobalt and neodymium in loudspeakers, the first fully digital surround sound system, and the first in-wall loudspeaker.

     

    Having early-on identified the importance of multimedia, Dr. Guenther founded Soundmatters in 1998 (Reno, NV) with the desire to shrink both the size and cost of true hi-fi audio. Under the Soundmatters brand, he introduced the first hi-fi quality all-in-one surround system, and in 2008, the first pocket-sized Bluetooth stereo loudspeaker widely acclaimed good enough for audio purists -- a product that was soon named, along with the iPhone, as one of the Top Ten Gadgets of the Year by TIME magazine.  His innovative work at Soundmatters also included projects for such companies as Logitech, Viewsonic, Roku, IGT and most recently Jawbone, to name a few.  Dr. Guenther was truly an engineer’s engineer.  Brent Butterworth, writing for Sound & Vision, noted that he “enjoys a reputation among audio manufacturers as a sort of mysterious wizard of sound. Honest-to-goodness, I’ve actually heard his name mentioned by speaker-company presidents in hushed, awed tones.”

     

    Dr. Guenther was a lover of music from every era, a gifted pianist, a refined oenophile, and an aficionado of Chinese and Japanese culture, cuisine, and art. He will be remembered for his unique combination of brilliance and humor.  He inspired his family, friends and colleagues with his zest for life, his wanderlust, his imagination, and his seemingly inexhaustible output of innovative, often groundbreaking audio designs.  He will be missed by many, but his legacy lives on through the inspiration he provided and through his remarkable engineering achievements -- including many yet to be announced.  He is survived by his wife, his three children and seven grandchildren.  In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Social Service Fund for Needy Patients, Massachusetts General Hospital, 100 Cambridge Street, Suite 1310, Boston, MA 02114.

    ·        Inking Pen with auto-smoothing and pressure simulation.

    ·        Pencil & Marker Pen, Chalk & Crayon and Eraser for drawing and sketching.

    ·        Flood Fill.

    ·        Settings for fine control of each tool and custom tool presets for storing favorites. 

    Layers:

    ·        Unlimited layers with available memory.

    ·        Improved color blending.

    ·        Easy to save incremental copies.

    ·        Blend Modes, including Photoshop standards.

    The tabArm can be rotated in any angle for a variety of uses:

    New Meditation App Provides a More Focused, Creative, Awakened, Relaxed, & Romantic Mind for iPhone, iPad & iPod touch 

    Free Zen180 App with In-App Pack Deal for $1.99 Download in iTunes 

    September 8, 2014, Park City, UT – Zen180 www.zen180.com launched today the free Zen180 App to get focused, creative, and help with the everyday stresses of living.  Available immediately through the iTunes store at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/zen180/id902226237?ls=1&mt=8, the Zen180 app provides background audio that you can listen to while meditating, reading, studying, doing homework, or trying to relax.  The Zen180 app features 5 cognitive enhancing audio programs:  FOCUSED, CREATIVE, AWAKENED, RELAXED and ROMANTIC Mind.  The main FOCUSED audio track is free, with the other 4 tracks priced at $.99 each or $1.99 for all 4.  With Zen180, you can dramatically increase your mental and learning abilities, creativity, happiness, focus and concentration.  The app accomplishes this with its exclusive 3D binaural beats to mimic the desired state of mind to help you meditate on a deeper level with brain enhancement audio technology to augment the 5 natural brain wave patterns: Alpha, Beta, Delta, Theta and Gamma.  

    Experience the Benefits of Deep Meditation in Minutes  

    The Zen180 audio app allows you to experience all the benefits of deep meditation in a matter of minutes.  Just select the track for the specific state of mind you are trying to achieve (focused, creative, awakened, relaxed or romantic) and the time period (from 5 minutes to 30 minutes), put on your headphones and tap “start session” (Zen180 recommends you always use stereo headphones, since the app will not work properly with regular speakers).  The idea is to listen to the audio track with headphones while you are trying to focus on a task or simply to meditate.  You will notice how much better you can focus on your work or meditation while using the app. 

    Helps with Writer’s Block 

    Zen180’s CREATIVE Mind track can help creative people, such as writers and musicians, overcome the dreaded “writer’s block” or other creativity hang-ups and free the mind for new ideas and directions.  The AWAKENED Mind track helps students, frequent travelers, workaholics, and party animals pep up after a red-eye flight or late night out so they are ready to work the next day.  The ROMANTIC Mind track will bring you closer to loved ones and the RELAXED Mind track helps you completely relax and let go of problems when over-stressed.  “Scientists study meditation and doctors recommend it to help reduce stress.  Millions of Americans practice it every day. Why?  Because meditation works.  Zen180 unleashes your mind’s potential,” said Noah Rasheta, President, Zen180. 

    Zen180 App Features:

    ·        5 cognitive enhancing audio programs:

    o       FOCUSED Mind:  for reading, studying or writing.

    o       CREATIVE Mind:  for brainstorming, creating new music, art, or writing.

    AMBIENT DESIGN LAUNCHES ARTRAGE 4.5 WITH 64-BIT SUPPORT FOR FASTER PAINTING, LARGER CANVASES, AND MORE COMPLEX PROJECTS

    Free Upgrade for All Registered Users of ArtRage 4 --
    Realistic and Easy to Use Painting Application
     

    August 14, 2014, San Francisco, CA – Ambient Design (www.artrage.com), the award-winning creator of realistic art software for Mac, Windows, iPad and iPhone, announces the launch of ArtRage 4.5, a major upgrade to their popular painting software for Mac and Windows.  This update is free for all registered users of ArtRage 4, available for immediate download from the ArtRage Members Area at: http://members.artrage.com, with upgrade discounts for owners of previous versions of ArtRage.  Full information can be found at:  http://www.artrage.com/artrage-4/free-update.  

    ArtRage 4.5 features a 64-bit engine for Mac OS X and Windows, which provides speed improvements and enables working on larger canvases and more complex projects.  ArtRage 4.5 also includes canvas grid overlays, stylus tilt support for the pencil tool, a new font picker, multi-touch gesture support for Mac OS X, and more (see the list below). 

    New in ArtRage 4.5: 

             64-Bit Support: ArtRage 4.5 now supports 64-bit processors on Windows and OS X, which means you can work on significantly larger file sizes and canvases and at much faster speeds.  32-bit processors are also supported from the same installer.

             Canvas Grid Overlay:  highly customizable grid overlays are available on the Canvas and Reference Images to help you map out your paintings and designs in pixels or proportions.  Users can choose between a non-interactive guide or have lines “Snap To Grid.”

             Live Pencil Tilt: the Pencil Tool now supports Tilt input from your stylus to adjust the angle of the pencil when sketching on devices with tilt support, such as the Wacom Cintiq or Intuos Pro. 

    Other Tweaks and Improvements:

    ·        Improved Font Picking.

    ·        OS X multi-touch gestures for MacBook touchpads and tablets with touch support, such as the Wacom Cintiq.

    ·        Faster Undo, Redo, and Transform operations.

    ·        Manual sorting of Toolbox objects and Color Samples.

    ·        Ability to move and duplicate resources between categories. 

    ArtRage 4.5 System Specifications:

    ·        Compatible with 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows Vista, 7, and 8.

    ·        Compatible with 32 and 64 bit versions of Mac OS X 10.6 or later.

    ·        Previous 4.0 version available for download for WinXP users.

    ·        Interface runs in English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, and Russian (manual in English).

    ·        Price: $49.90 U.S. 

    ArtRage 4.5 is Compatible with Industry Standards 

    ArtRage is the easiest way to create works of art that look and feel like their real world counterparts, avoiding the traditional computer generated look with a paint simulation that captures the nuances of real expressive media. Anybody who spent a few hours in Adobe Photoshop or Autodesk Sketchbook should quickly pick up familiar functions in ArtRage like layers, opacity, blend modes, plugins, selections, stencils, rulers, transforms, grid tools and scripting. More important, anybody who has picked up a real paintbrush or pencil will feel at home with the artistic tools provided. Free trial version can be tried out at www.artrage.com. 

    ArtRage 4.5 Users and Artists Quotes: 

    “I can definitely say that I’ve felt the benefit of improved speed, and have found the ability to drag items around in the toolbox to reorganize at will very useful.  I’ve found it particularly handy for tinkering with sets of color samples, when you need to add a new color and want it to fit in,” - Nick Harris, Nickillus.com

    “I am absolutely delighted with the improved Font Selection process… I am finding the grid really useful as well.  As a lover of Art Nouveau style borders, I can see where to work within the grid, then use the symmetry tool to create one in a flash, which I am having such fun doing. ‘Snap to’ on the grid with Ink Pen Smoothing is also useful to get those sleek controlled sweeps,” - Robyn Rinehart, http://robynrinehart.blogspot.com/

    “For me, as a teacher, instructor, the ‘grid’ is a very powerful resource in many ways.  It allows students to have a baseline to establish comparative dimensions… I use  ArtRage 100% for layers combining with manipulated photos and texts published in ArtRage,” - Professor Damasocl. 

     “64-bit support is one of my favorite aspects of the 4.5 upgrade,” - David K Manuel, davidkmanuel.com.  

    ArtRage 4.5 Free to ArtRage 4 Users 

    Available immediately for Mac OSX 10.6 and later, and Windows Vista or later, ArtRage 4.5 supports standard desktop computers, tablets, interactive white boards, and touch screens.  ArtRage 4.5 is priced at $49.90 from: http://www.artrage.com/artrage-store.html (free for registered ArtRage 4 owners at: http://members.artrage.com), info at: http://www.artrage.com/artrage-4/free-update/.   Owners of previous editions of ArtRage (ArtRage 2, ArtRage 3 Studio, or ArtRage 3 Studio Pro) can receive a 50% discount on the price of ArtRage 4.5 by registering and upgrading at http://members.artrage.com.  In addition, ArtRage for iPad and ArtRage for iPhone are priced at $4.99 and $1.99 respectively from the Apple iTunes Store.  For more information, see www.artrage.com, Facebook:  www.facebook.com/artrage, or Twitter:  @ArtRage https://twitter.com/ArtRage (previously @ArtRage_Radar).

    Lightweight Monopod Collapses to 1 Foot for Portability -- Extends Over 3 Feet for Easy Reach & Unique Angles  

    The  Monopod works with virtually all smartphones, Point-of-View (POV) action cameras, and other digital cameras and camcorders, including the GoPro, Countour, Drift, light camcorders, iPhones, Androids, Blackberrys, and iPods.  At only about 1 foot when collapsed weighing ½ lb. for easy portability when traveling, outdoors, and at events, the Monopod extends to over 3 feet for amazing selfies and unique angles, such as feet-level video, overhead, around corners and more.  The included adjustable universal iStabilizer Mount™ can also be used on any tripod with a standard ¼ x 20” camera.  

    Bluetooth Shutter Remote 

    The iStabilizer Shutter Remote completes the bundle as the ultimate companion for the Monopod.  The remote lets you snap steady photos and videos up to 35 feet away through Bluetooth 3.0 without reaching for the shutter.  It also can pause or play movies, activate Siri, start GPS navigation, change songs and adjust music volume. Tiny at only 1.38” x 3.56” x 0.38” and weighing 1 oz, the Shutter Remote works with the device’s included camera app or with any other app that uses the volume button to trigger the shutter.  Compatible with all iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch (Android coming soon), the Shutter Remote also works with all other Bluetooth Apple products (Macbook, iMac, Mac Mini).  

    iStabilizer Monopod and Shutter Remote Bundle Features:

    • Creates perfect photo and video selfies without cutting people off.
    • More flattering selfies:  no distortion or extreme close-ups.
    • Creates action shots with unique angles.
    • Perfect for mobile journalism and travel photography.

    ·        Mount also attaches to standard tripods equipped with a ¼ x 20” camera mount. 

    Selfies Taken from a Distance Can Make You Look More Attractive & Trustworthy 

    In addition to taking great selfies, the iStabilizer Bundle can help you take photos further away from your face, which can make you look more attractive, trustworthy and intelligent.  According to researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), close-up photo subjects taken too closely are judged to look less trustworthy, less competent, and less attractive.  “Until now, one factor has never been investigated:  the distance between the photographer and the subject. According to a new study, this turns out to make a difference.”  See Science Daily article at: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/09/120926153030.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily+%28ScienceDaily%3A+Latest+Science+News%29 

    “The iStabilizer Monopod and Shutter Remote Bundle is a great tool for the amateur or professional photographer using their smartphone for video and photo selfies.  No more close up, in your face, half-head missing self-portraits.  The bundle provides the reach to get to that perfect angle to capture the moment in its entirety,” said Noah Rasheta, Founder & CEO, iStabilizer. 

    Pricing & Availability 

    Available immediately from http://www.istabilizer.com/products/istabilizer-monopod, the iStabilizer Monopod and Shutter Remote Bundle is priced at: $59.95 (normally $74.90 when purchased separately.)  For more information, see www.istabilizer.com, Monopod: http://www.istabilizer.com/products/istabilizer-monopod.

    IDEVICES® AND JENNIE-O BRAND MAKE PREPARING PERFECTLY COOKED TURKEY EASIER THAN EVER FOR BUSY COOKS

    Brands Partner to Introduce Innovative Kitchen Tool to Ensure Safe, Delicious Family Meals 

    Avon, CT and Willmar, MN, August 11, 2014 — iDevices® http://idevicesinc.com/, a leading product and app development company specializing in the Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi connected market, is teaming up with Jennie-O http://www.jennieo.com/, a brand on a mission to show the world how easy it is to eat well with turkey. The brands are coming together to help make it easier than ever for busy cooks to prepare safe, delicious turkey meals with iDevices’ Bluetooth® Smart thermometers, the iDevices Kitchen Thermometer and Kitchen Thermometermini http://idevicesinc.com/kitchen-thermometer/

    Beginning in August, consumers will have the opportunity to receive a discount on iDevices Kitchen Thermometers when they purchase select JENNIE-O® turkey products, with a valuable $10-off on-pack product coupon. The iDevices Kitchen Thermometers allow cooks to remotely monitor the temperature of meat and eliminate the need to hover over the oven or grill while perfectly cooking turkey to 165º F, making it easier to multitask on hectic weeknights or while entertaining guests. 

    Select ‘Turkey’ in iDevices Kitchen Thermometer for Fully Cooked, Tender Turkey 

    By selecting the ‘Turkey’ preset in the free iDevices Connected app at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/idevices-connected/id682656390?mt=8, iDevices Kitchen Thermometer users can monitor the temperature of their food via Bluetooth technology from up to 150 feet away. The user will even receive an alert through the app once turkey is fully cooked and ready to take out of the oven or off the grill. Thanks to these helpful features, cooks can focus on preparing other parts of a meal without worrying about under- or over-cooking its centerpiece.  Using iDevices’ Bluetooth meat thermometers to fully cook poultry to 165°F not only ensures a safe dining experience, but also helps home cooks achieve the perfect, never-dry tenderness the whole family will love — and it has never been easier. 

    “We are proud to partner with Jennie-O to help educate consumers about the importance of food safety and how to perfectly cook nutritious JENNIE-O® turkey with the help of an iDevices Kitchen Thermometer,” said Lianne Kersey, marketing manager, iDevices, LLC. 

    Jennie-O puts the highest priority on ensuring its customers receive a high-quality, delicious product. The brand strives to provide consumers with the knowledge to properly prepare and cook turkey and offer their families nutritious meals. 

    “Our latest partnership with iDevices helps us to provide busy cooks the information they need to prepare great-tasting meals for their families and add a new level of convenience to their cooking routine,” said Jen Ehresmann, director of marketing at Jennie-O. “An easy-to-use meat thermometer is a simple, hassle-free tool that can help ensure turkey is fully cooked to a delicious 165°F each and every time.”  

    Food Safety Tips for Delicious Turkey Meals 

    Jennie-O and iDevices offer these five easy rules for safe cooking: clean, separate, cook, chill and don't forget—enjoy! 

    1)      Clean – safety begins with a clean cooking space.  Use warm, soapy water to wash anything raw poultry touches, including cutting boards, plates or serving platters, countertops and other surfaces, food thermometers, grilling utensils — and most importantly — your hands.

    2)      Cook – always fully cook poultry to destroy any bacteria that could cause foodborne illness. Using a meat thermometer is the most accurate way to determine when meat is ready to enjoy. Cook poultry to at least 165°F as measured by a meat thermometer, such as the iDevices Kitchen Thermometer, to ensure a safe and delectable dining experience.

    3)      Separate – Use separate cutting boards for poultry, meat, seafood and vegetables to avoid the spread of bacteria. Store raw poultry in sealed containers to make sure juices don’t contaminate other foods. Never reuse a marinade that has previously been used on raw poultry. Instead, create a fresh marinade for each new batch of meat.

    4)      Chill – When storing raw poultry, set your refrigerator to 40°F or lower. Never thaw poultry at room temperature or on the counter. Thaw in the refrigerator in sealed containers and keep it no more than two to three days before cooking. Refrigerate leftovers within two hours of cooking and eat within one to two days.

    5)      Enjoy! – Following these simple food safety rules makes it easy to achieve the best possible taste for a wholesome meal the entire family will enjoy.

    Turn Any Image Into an iPhone Case With This Handy Gadget

    By Liana Bandziulis
    07.24.14

    The Case Maker Pro lets you change your iPhone case as easily as slapping another sticker on your laptop. Take a magazine page or photo and stick it into the CaseMaker—essentially, a giant hole puncher the size of an iPhone—and clamp down. Slip the photo into the clear case and snap it onto your phone. Repeat until your printer runs out of ink, or all your magazines have iPhone-shaped holes in them.

    The case itself, made of dual-injection polycarbonate and silicone with clear insets on the back and edges, is elegant and slim in its own right, and fits the phone securely. The solid metal CaseMaker slices through most paperlike substances. Showcase your photos or drawings; recycle a Trader Joe’s bag or some shiny wrapping paper; make art out of old shopping lists or maps. You can even keep a couple sheets stacked inside the case, for quick swaps between work time and play time.

    Right now, it’s only available for the iPhone 5/5s. At $50 for the CaseMaker and one case, it’s a commitment, although you can get more cases separately if you don’t mind sharing the punch tool.

    By Molly O'Brien, NBC-TVNBC-TV on CaseMaker Pro by Molly O’Brien

    Why not make your own iPhone case with the CaseMaker Pro.
     

    Tech This Out: Make your own iPhone case
    Posted: Jun 30, 2014 12:22 PM EST

    By Molly O'Brien
    Having a cell phone case is almost a necessity and if you like a little of your personal style to show through, check out the CaseMaker Pro. It's a customizable iPhone case maker.

    Well, sort of.

    In the box, you'll get a plastic case that will fit around the iPhone 5 or iPhone 5S and the photo cropper. The photo cropper is heavy duty-made with 14 blades. Basically it's a hole puncher in the shape of the iPhone case.

    It’s a very simple concept. You can put anything into the photo cropper. A picture, newspaper clipping, post card, print outs -- whatever you're heart desires.

    You place a picture in the photo cropper and then firmly push down, the stamp cuts the outline of an iPhone and a hole for the camera and flash. Bingo!

    You can use any type of pictures -- friends, family, pets, sports teams, a company logo, a simple pattern, holiday themes. What about a Throwback Thursday case? The options really are endless.

    Once you get your picture cut the way you want it, place it in the case and then the picture will appear on the back of your iPhone.

    But here's the thing, you have to play around to get your picture cut just right. If you want something centered, or lined up it might be a good idea to crop a picture before printing. And you might want to print a few extra pictures.

    It really takes practice, or you might get lucky and crop it perfectly the first time.

    If you are a big scrap booker, you'll definitely like this.

    The downside of the CaseMaker Pro, they only have one size and one model, and that's for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S.

    The product is brand new, so no word on if they'll have any other case sizes coming out.

    You can find the CaseMaker Pro for just under $60. Additional cases cost $20.

    Patent-Pending UV Blue Light Deflection Technology
    Highest Transparency with Scratch, Drop & Glare Protection
    for iPhones, iPads & Other LED Displays
     

    July 14, 2014, Los Angeles, CA – Interworks Unlimited www.interworks-usa.com, creator and distributor of cutting-edge gaming and consumer electronics products, announced today the Konnet Care Vision Protective Shield that protects your eyes from 99.99% of ultraviolet (UV) light with new advanced Patent-Pending UV Blue Light Deflection Technology with fiber coating that deflects UV blue light so it does not penetrate your eyes as you stare into devices, shielding your eyes from harmful UVt MAX that can cause cataracts, Myopia (near-sightedness), Macular Degeneration, headaches, Chloasma (skin pigmentation), wrinkles, dry red eyes and more.  Exclusively distributed by Interworks Unlimited, Inc., the Konnet Care Vision Protective Shield features the highest transparency available on the market so there isn’t a visible film on your device.  The Konnet Care Vision Protective Shield also delivers standard scratch, drop, and glare protection for devices, including iPhone 5, iPad, Galaxy, and others smartphones and tablets. 

    UV Protection -- Far More Important than Anti-glare, Anti-scratch, or Even Tempered Glass 

    Professionals in the fields of light energy and vision have known for years about the hazards that ultraviolet light presents to ocular health.  With the prevalence of blue-light LED displays found in smartphones, tablets and other devices and with consumers using these devices longer and more frequently, scientists are studying the long term effects and are offering solutions for maintaining ocular health.  The Vision Protective Shield is an essential solution available to protect eyes from harmful UV emissions from the screens of all electronic devices.  “The Vision Protective Shield is far more important than anti-glare, anti-scratch, or even tempered glass, because you can always replace your phone’s screen, but you can never replace your eyes,” Eric Lu, President,  Interworks.  “Our shield also reduces glare and is actually softer to the eyes to look at.  Even the lighting from my iPhone is not as intense as before.”  

    Vision Protection Shield Used in Education and Sports 

    Children, in particular, are at a high-risk to develop Myopia because of the extended use of smart devices in school and at home.  25% - 50% of children develop Myopia in American and European countries, with up to 80% of children from Asian countries developing near-sightedness.   To combat this, schools such as Taiwan’s Education and Science (in cooperation with the Ministry of Education) and Hong Kong International School have begun bundling the Vision Protection Shield on tablets used at school, with positive feedback from teachers and children alike.  In addition to students, clear vision is also extremely important to athletes.  Because of this, the entire NBA Hong Kong organization now uses the shield with all their LED devices.  “I feel a big difference and my eyes are much more comfortable after using the Vision Protection Shield,” said Ritchie Lai, Vice President, Event Management, NBA Hong Kong.

    Celebrity
    Editor Tested: Turn Your Smartphone Into a Sous Chef with the iDevice Grilling Thermometer

    July 5, 2014 @ 3:04 pm
    By: Katie Donbavand

    Want to heat up your grill game? Well, we tested out a must-have thermometer for your summer weekend BBQs.

    The iDevice Kitchen Thermometer ($80, idevicesinc.com) uses Bluetooth technology combined with a helpful app that not only allows you to monitor your meal without lifting the grill’s hood and compromising the cooking temperature, but also let’s you wander away and enjoy the party with your guests!

    So how does it work?

    The kitchen thermometer comes with two prongs that you insert into your meat—either into two different cuts or, like we did, one into your meal and one to measure the ambient temperature. Next, you download the free app to your smartphone and set your alerts. The app comes loaded with pre-set temperature ranges so novices can cook their meat completely and safely, but also allows you to customize your own alerts.

    The app alerts you—like a trusted sous chef—when the ideal internal temperature is reached and, voilà, dinner is served!

    There’s also a handy social media integration feature on the app which allows you to share your like-worthy cooking prowess to Facebook.

    But lest we rely on nifty-sounding bells and whistles alone, we put the iDevice Kitchen Thermometer to the test: smoking a brisket.

    The all-day process of smoking a brisket is notoriously difficult. One of the keys to a mouthwatering, butter-soft brisket is a steady cooking temperature. With the iDevice Kitchen Thermometer, we were able to set our temperature range and walk away, letting our iPhone monitor the progress for us. No more lifting the lid to constantly check the brisket’s progress—especially in the last hour or so to make sure it doesn’t overcook!—and exposing the meat to a gush of cooler air.

    Better yet, we were free to mingle and clink glasses with our backyard guests while the smoker worked its magic.

    The results? A delicious BBQ and a very happy, un-frazzled chef.

    There is no confusing The Great Kat with anyone else...

    A fire-storm of blond hair whipping around a guitar that's smoking from ferocious fingers and a whole lot of fury. A graduate of the elite Juilliard School, The Great Kat is best known and loved (and sometimes feared) for her speed metal interpretations of the most famous and well-loved pieces of classical music.

    One thing is for sure, once The Great Kat has come on your radar you will never, ever forget her. Claiming to be both God and Satan, The Great Kat is all rock star, and a little bit dominatrix, but all in a fun and bombastic metal kind of way.

    Her new video for the “William Tell Overture” is currently burning up iTunes and is something that every metal head and classical music lover needs to see. AXS.com recently got the chance to speak with her royal highness of the guitar, and even sans the guitar - The Great Kat never disappoints or fails to leave quite the impression.

    Tech This Out: Microlab FC60BT Wireless Sound System
    Posted: Jun 16, 2014 12:16 PM
    By Molly O'Brien

    Microlab introduces an innovative high quality speaker meant for convenient listening.

    If you like options the FC60BT might be for you. No, it's not the catchiest name but with crystal clear audio, you won't care what it's called.

    No portable speaker here. This set is for your home and can be used with multiple devices.

    Microlab developed the three-piece speaker system with an advanced sound experience in mind. You'll get the 8-inch subwoofer with built in amp, an RF remote and two stereo speakers. These are different from normal speakers because of the way they're designed. The back end is open and that means you won't get those distorted sounds or vibrations.

    The subwoofer is big, but it's loud and proud. You connect the two speakers in the back and you'll see knobs to adjust sound and bass manually. You can also do this with the remote. You can connect TVs, DVD players, laptops, basically any media device with a hard wire connection just like any other sound system or speaker set.

    Here's what's different: there's a wireless connection. That means you can watch TV shows, movies and listen to music on your tablet or smartphone from across the room. And still you get great sound. Just connect your with Bluetooth or NFC. Let's face it, speakers on your laptop and tablet are not up-to-par. On many portable speakers you’ll lose audio quality with a Bluetooth connection. Not the case here. I find that refreshing.

    The Bluetooth range is 150 feet.

    The RF remote works from any place in your room. It has a 360-degree range and you don't have to point it at the subwoofer. If your device is NFC capable you just tap it to the remote.

    The high quality sound and handy remote come at a price. Microlab's FC60BT costs $449.

    For the techies out there, here’s a list of the specs from the company:

    2.1 subwoofer system with 2 see-through stereo satellite speakers.
    Patented HC2D Technology (High Clarity Close Distance) for crystal clear sound with full resolution range when listening at close or from a far distance.
    Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology connects to smartphones and tablets.
    NFC (Near Field Communication) function quickly connects to Android, Windows and Blackberry devices without pairing -- just tap the device on the remote control's NFC logo for instant music.
    Powerful integrated 8-inch bass subwoofer with built-in amplifier.
    2 stereo enclosure-less satellite SQ speakers for no harmonic distortions or vibrations.
    Digital signal processor for clear HD audio sound.
    Connects to most media players with included stereo 3.5mm jack.
    360 degree RF remote control for Bluetooth, NFC, track, input, volume, and bass controls that works from any angle in the room.
    1-inch tweeter and 5-inch midrange set up in tandem for perfectly clear sound.
    EQ parameter for automatically balanced sound.
    Quick and easy plug n' play set up in a few minutes.
    Amplifier output: 105 watt RMS.
    Tweeter: 6 Ohm, Midrange: 8 Ohm.

    Microlab FC60BT:

    Microlab, one of those innumerable Chinese outfits operating out of ShenZhen, is a dependable name in portable electronics. They've just dropped an appropriately Zen-looking trio of multimedia speakers, all dressed in virginal white: the FC60BT Bluetooth/NFC-2.1 system, comprised of a muscular 8-inch subwoofer and two see-through satellites. Its fat, boomy bass is a must for adrenaline-pumping gamers, while music and movie fans will appreciate the apple-crisp high-end. There’s something for every ear, but Microlab is taking dead aim at the man-cave market. Comes with a 360-degree remote control, meaning Dad needn't come out of the fetal sports-watching position to mute commercials or jack up the bass. (www.microlab-global.com, $400 to $449)

    iDevices® Releases iBeacon™ Support For Broadcom® WICED™
    Smart Chips and Its Own Fully Developed iDevices Beacon
     
    iDevices Enables iBeacon Market from Multiple Angles to Lead Future of Customer Engagement
     

    Avon, CT, May 21, 2014 – iDevices, LLC, www.iDevicesinc.com, the premier app-enablement company and creator of the iGrill®, announced today that its custom software stack for Broadcom WICED Smart chips now supports iBeacon technology.  In addition, the company has launched a line of iDevices Beacon, fully developed wireless beacon devices with integrated Broadcom WICED Smart (Bluetooth Smart enabled) chips and iDevices firmware. 

    iBeacon Support for Developers 

    In August 2013, iDevices announced the release of its custom module and software stack for Broadcom Bluetooth Smart chips. The company is now offering the support of iBeacon functionality to engineers using the Broadcom WICED Smart BCM20732 or BCM20736 system-on-chip (SoC).  iBeacon is a technology Apple introduced with iOS 7 that uses Bluetooth Low Energy and geofencing to provide apps with a whole new level of micro-location awareness, such as trail markers in a park, exhibits in a museum, or product displays in stores 

    iDevices’ CTO and VP of Engineering, Shawn Monteith says, “The enormous rush of interest paired with our clear competitive advantage has encouraged iDevices to emerge itself in the vast opportunity that iBeacon technology presents to not only retail but so many other applications.” 

    Through the addition of iBeacon support for Broadcom Bluetooth Smart SoCs, developers now have easy access to micro-locating functionality.  The iDevices module development kit is available for purchase here. 

    iDevices Beacon Will Transform Customer Interactions 

    iDevices Beacon, now for pre-sale on the iDevices website, can be strategically placed anywhere in a physical space to broadcast radio signals to smart devices with proximity of up to 150 feet. Consumers with an associated app installed on their phone will receive personalized micro-location based notifications when they walk within proximity of the Beacon.  

    The most frequent use cases to date occur in retail locations and are used for in-store analytics, proximity marketing and contactless payments. For example, upon entering a store, a customer receives a welcome message. While browsing through clothing racks, the retailer sends highly targeted product information, sizing availability, reviews, offers, etc.  Finally, when the customer is ready to make a purchase, the retailer turns the shoppers’ smart device into a POS system.  

    The applications of Beacon are endless and are only just being uncovered throughout the industry. Clothing stores, public transport, banks, grocery stores, hospitals, sports stadiums and museums, the list goes on.  

    One particular application in which iDevices will be using the technology is at the Consumer Electronic Show in January 2015.  Lianne Kersey, iDevices’ Marketing Manager, says, “We will be using iBeacon Technology to its fullest at CES 2015 by placing our own Beacon throughout our 40’x45’ booth and firing notifications off for product information, giveaways and exclusive content.” 

    The iDevices Beacon, now available for pre-sale, is a small USB complete with a battery pack requiring 2 AAA batteries (for an average battery life of 3-4 months).  The USB can also be plugged into a standard Apple wall adapter for continued battery life.  

    Initial features of the iDevices Beacon include:

    ·        Multiple power options.

    ·        Compact size.

    ·        150 foot Bluetooth Smart range.

    ·        Simple app integration.

    ·        Authentication.

    ·        Security options. 

    The iDevices Beacon is set to ship in Q3 of 2014. Pre-order your iDevices Beacon today for $49.99 (complete with a battery pack) at http://idevicesinc.com/beacon.  

    About iDevices, LLC: 

    iDevices began its journey with the conception and development of the iGrill®, one of the first app-enabled devices, following with the launch of the popular iShower® water resistant Bluetooth speaker. Following these successful launches, iDevices emerged as a premier development and consulting company for the app-enabled market.  iDevices has integrated all required resources in-house to create and launch app-enabled products, both independently and with partner companies.

    ARTRAGE FOR IPAD WINS 2014 PARENTS’ CHOICE GOLD AWARD 

    Wins for Digitally Imitating Professional Artist’s Tools & Paints
    Creates 3 Dimensional Art Realism for Kids without the Mess

    Special Pricing for Annual NAEA Convention (National Art Educators Association) Previews ArtRage for Android

    March 29, 2014, San Francisco, CA – Ambient Design www.artrage.com, the leading award-winning creator of realistic art painting software for Mac, Windows, iPad and iPhone, announced today that ArtRage for iPad is the winner of the 2014 Parents’ Choice Gold Award for the Best Mobile Apps at: http://www.parents-choice.org/product.cfm?product_id=32397&StepNum=1&award=aw. Available immediately at the Apple iTunes Store, ArtRage for iPad is the most realistic art app and software helping kids become creative on the go without the mess. 

    ArtRage was chosen for the Parents’ Choice Award because it does a “remarkable job of imitating not only the professional tools and paints of artists, but also the 3 dimensional way artistic mediums react and build on a canvas,” said Parents’ Choice.  “For example, a hunk of oil paint can be squeezed out of a tube of paint and it sits realistically on your canvas waiting to be spread and molded with great accuracy using a palette knife, brush, or any of the other tools.  Any tool that is chosen can be manipulated using a finger or a stylus,” they concluded. 

    ArtRage Exhibiting at National Art Educators Association – Previewing ArtRage for Android 

    ArtRage will be exhibiting at the NAEA 2014, the annual convention of the National Art Educators Association, March 29-31, 2014 in San Diego.  At booth #632, the latest versions of ArtRage will be shown for Windows, Mac, iPad and iPhone and the upcoming version of ArtRage for Android will also be previewed.    

    Parents’ Choice Champions Importance of Quality Children’s Media   

    The Parents’ Choice Awards is the nation’s oldest nonprofit program recognizing quality children’s media to help parents and caregivers of all achievements and backgrounds make informed decisions about which new products are right for their children.  For more than thirty-three years, the Parents’ Choice Awards have honored the best products for children:  books, toys, music, storytelling, magazines, software, videogames, television and websites.  With a panel of educators, scientists, performing artists, librarians, parents, and even kids themselves, the Parents’ Choice Awards identify the very best products for children of different ages, backgrounds, skills and interest levels.   

    “We are honored to win the Parents’ Choice Award for the best mobile products that entertain and teach with flair, stimulate imagination and inspire creativity,” said Matthew Fox Wilson, Creative Director and Co-founder, Ambient Design.  “ArtRage is a great way to get kids, teens, and adults of all ages interested in art and developing their creativity.  ArtRage is used in thousands of schools and dozens of museums to teach art.”

    New York Times Features iDevices iGrill2 by Jesse McKinley!
     

    The iDevices Bluetooth meat thermometer ($39.99 to $99.99) was among the consumer gadgets, gizmos and kitchen, bath and living-room accessories on display at the International Home and Housewares Show, the four-day extravaganza held earlier this week in Chicago.

    Interacting with your food was the idea behind the products made by a Connecticut firm called iDevices, which is committed to using smartphones to save America from undercooked pork and desiccated turkey. The iGrill 2 (available in May for about $100) is a thermometer that uses four small probes to allow users to control how their meat is done — rare, medium, etc. — and then sends them a cellphone alert when the meat is ready. (Note: You do not place your smartphone in the oven with the thermometer.)

    The iGrill 2 was in the show’s Wired and Well expo, along with other high-tech innovations.

    Men’s Journal Selects foxL DASH7 as “The One Bluetooth Speaker to Buy” - MJ Approved
    By Erik Sofge, Men's JournalMen’s Journal Selects foxL DASH7 as “The One Bluetooth Speaker to Buy” - MJ Approved

    The One Bluetooth Speaker to Buy
    Men’s Journal Selects foxL DASH7 as “The One Bluetooth Speaker to Buy” - MJ Approved
    FoxL Dash 7

    Bluetooth speakers haven't flooded the market – they've drowned it, crowding physical store shelves and online outlets with a seemingly endless supply of devices, most from little-known brands. Take Soundmatters, for example, and its inexplicably named FoxL Dash 7, which doesn't have the grabby design of some competitors, but carries a premium price tag.

    And yet, this has been our go-to Bluetooth speaker for months. It's remarkably thin (0.44 inches), making it easy to slide into a coat or jacket pocket while running out the door. It can fill a room with clean, clear audio while laid flat on its back, with more bass and battery life (12 hours) than expected from something so small.

    But what it does better than any Bluetooth speaker we've tested is sync up correctly with audio from movies and TV shows, when paired with a tablet or laptop. With other models, there's often a slight but deal-breaking lag between on-screen video and the accompanying sound, putting lip movement just ahead of audible dialogue. The Dash 7 has never committed that sin, pumping perfectly aligned audio that, when aimed directly at your face, is also surprisingly expansive, wrapping around like the left and rear-channel components of a surround-sound system. Bottom line: It's a wonderfully rich speaker that's up for any task, whether you're listening to Matthew McConaughey's morose ramblings on True Detective or lounging on some sandy, sun-speckled beach.

    “We continue to develop product and innovation that helps the Viking customer be the best home chef possible,” said Kevin Brown, VP Engineering for Viking Range, LLC. “We are excited about this partnership and the initiatives to provide the best products for our customers.” 

    “Viking is already one of the most exceptional brands in the appliances market,” said Mike Daigle, chief operations officer of iDevices. “The combination of Viking’s top-of-the-line product with our leading-edge wireless connectivity should make this range one of the most advanced in the market.”

    As the world’s largest smartphone and smart TV market, China’s 2013 sales for smartphones were approximately 340 million units, an 83% increase over 2012, with smart TV sales at approximately 20 million (a 109% increase).  All this data establishes China as the biggest global electronics and information product marketplace in the world, with great potential for U.S. and international companies to expand their businesses overseas.  Another example of China’s potential is WeChat.com, a social networking application developed by China’s largest Internet company, Tencent.  WeChat has already amassed over 600 million users in just three years.    

    CITE 2014 Helps U.S. & International Companies Profit from the Large Asian Marketplace   

    U.S. and international companies can profit from this large Asian marketplace potential by gaining business contacts and Asian information at CITE 2014.  Scheduled for April 10-12, 2014 at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center in Shenzhen, China, the 2nd annual CITE 2014 is the place to grow business and showcase the latest IT and consumer electronics technologies, products and innovation from around the world.  Jointly organized by the Ministry of Industry and Information  Technology (MIIT) and the Shenzhen Municipal Government of P.R. China, CITE 2014 features over 100,000 square meters (approximately 320,000 square feet) of show floor space with over 100,000 attendee and over 1,500 exhibitors, new products and technologies, including the latest new technology advancements from China. In addition, there will be industry forums and seminars on the top 30 hot topics, including China’s industry chain, 4G, smartphones, smart TVs, wearable technologies, security systems and cloud computing.  

    CITE 2014 provides a unique opportunity for U.S. companies to showcase their new brands, technologies, and innovations to Chinese and Asian distributors and the emerging Chinese marketplace with a new American Pavilion.  Unlike other Asian trade shows that focus on selling Chinese products to U.S. companies, CITE is geared to help U.S. companies sell their products into the Asian market, by organizing the attendance of numerous high quality Chinese distributors and dealers and providing on-site business matchmaking programs in a “one on one” format, with qualified supplier introduction meetings, purchase preferences, and supply meetings. 

    New in 2014, CITE is launching Exhibit Zones to assist exhibitors with optimal booth locations, with zones focusing on mobile smart devices, computers, networking equipment, digital audio/video devices, software/apps, information services, the internet, cloud computing, integrated circuits, flat panel displays, LEDs, lithium batteries, solar energy, new electronic components and materials, automotive, financial, and medical technologies.

    Forbes Features Thomas PR Clients SensoGlove & Golf-X-Cube in Holiday Gift Guide “4 Gadgets For Athletes”!
     
    By Tony Bradley, ForbesForbes Features Thomas PR Clients SensoGlove & Golf-X-Cube in Holiday Gift Guide “4 Gadgets For Athletes”!

     

     
    Holiday Gift Guide: 4 Gadgets For Athletes
     
    Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday are behind us, so I guess the 2013 holiday shopping season is in full gear. If you made it through the opening weekend with any money left, and you’re still in search of great gift ideas, here are four gadgets or devices to consider buying for your more active or athletic friends or family.

    Forbes Features Thomas PR Clients SensoGlove & Golf-X-Cube in Holiday Gift Guide “4 Gadgets For Athletes”!
    SensoGlove

    Golf is a very popular sport. It is an exercise in sadomasochism that can be quite fun and relaxing if you do it right. That’s where the SensoGlove may be able to help.

    Many amateur golfers have a natural tendency to want to swing a golf club like it’s a vertical baseball bat—gripping the club as if they’re trying to choke the life out of it and swinging with maximum force as if they’re trying to ring the bell at one of those carnival games. The reality is that proper form yields significantly better results than brute force.

    You want to hold the club firmly enough to maintain control and not have it fly out of your hands and go farther down the fairway than your golfball. But, you also want a grip that is not too tense. You have to find a balance between gripping the club lightly, but tightly enough at the same time.

    The SensoGlove is a soft cabretta leather golf glove with sensors in the fingertips and a small computer that clips to the glove on the back of your hand. The sensors detect how firmly you’re gripping the club, and the computer provides both visual and audible feedback to let you know if you’re gripping the club too tightly.

    The computer operates on CR1620 watch style batteries which you can easily replace. If you wear the actual glove out, you can purchase a replacement glove from SensoGlove, and just snap the computer module onto it. The SensoGlove costs $89 on the website, and replacement gloves without the computer cost $22.48. There is also a value pack that comes with both SensoGloves for both your right and left hands for only $132.94—a significant savings over buying each separately.

    Forbes Features Thomas PR Clients SensoGlove & Golf-X-Cube in Holiday Gift Guide “4 Gadgets For Athletes”!
    Golf-X-Cube

    The next gift idea continues to golfing theme, but it’s less of a “gadget” than the other items on this list. The Golf-X-Cube is literally just a block of green plastic. There aren’t any computers or electronics involved at all.

    The concept behind the Golf-X-Cube is ingenious in its simplicity. The Golf-X-Cube is dark green on the very top, while the rest of it is a lighter yellow-green. To use it, you simply place it on the ground in front of you while you are practicing.

    Just as with the golf grip, the goal of the golf swing is to execute proper form, not swing with every muscle and beat the ball as hard as you can. It’s important to rotate your torso, and shift your weight properly for the correct golf swing, and the Golf-X-Cube helps you achieve that motion.

    When you’re in the proper position over the Golf-X-Cube, all you can see is the dark green top. The goal is to maintain that position throughout the swing motion. If you sway back or forward during the swing rather than rotating properly, the lighter green plastic will become visible.

    The Golf-X-Cube is small enough to toss in your bag and take with you to the driving range, or try it out on a golf course if you like. It costs $33.95 and comes with a DVD that walks you through proper swing technique and how to use the Golf-X-Cube effectively.

    HEALTHY NINJA LAUNCHES DELICIOUS HEALTHY FROZEN DESSERT TO HELP KIDS & ADULTS GET FIT

    High Protein, High Fiber Low-Fat Performance Dessert
    Now Available in 39 Whole Foods Stores
    for Kids, Teens, Adults, & Athletes -- Promotes Better Health & Fitness

    Gourmet Treat for Holiday Parties – Keep Fit during the Holidays
    Created by Chefs from Berkeley’s Top Restaurant, Chez Panisse 
     

    December 2, 2013, San Ramon, CA -- Healthy Ninja www.healthyninja.net launched today Healthy Ninja, a new high protein, high fiber delicious frozen dessert.  Available in Strazzleberry (strawberry/raspberry, with more flavors coming soon) at 39 Whole Food Stores in California and expanding nationally, Healthy Ninja is a high performance gourmet ice cream dessert, combination of high protein and high fiber created by a collaboration of Healthy Ninja and chefs from the famous Berkeley, California restaurant, Chez Panisse.   

    All Natural Ingredients for Kids, Athletes, Health & Fitness Fans 

    Geared for kids, athletes, dieters, and health and fitness fans, Healthy Ninja is a tasty all-natural frozen dessert that pumps up school nutrition, combats childhood obesity, and provides high fiber and protein for dieters and athletes.  Healthy Ninja combines the fruit and vegetable food groups that the USDA recommends that should be ½ of your plate at every meal, helping kids reduce calories and weight while increasing their intake of more nutritional foods.  Children love the taste and are drawn to the packaging and adults are impressed with the health benefits and natural ingredients:  strawberries, water, raspberries, cane sugar, dried milk powder, dried bean flour, lemon juice, almond paste, chia seeds, ascorbic acid, guar gum, milk, and tree nuts.  “This is what kids should eat instead of going to the vending machine,” said Rich Thornton, former Olympic swimmer and head SRLVA swim coach, San Ramon, California. 

    Athletes Love it Post Work-Out: Frozen or as a Smoothie – Higher in Fiber than Greek Yogurt

    Healthy Ninja can be enjoyed as a workout recuperative treat frozen as ice cream or as a smoothie when melted post-workout, after a bike ride, or hike.  Healthy Ninja is higher in fiber than Greek yogurt:  Healthy Ninja has 6 grams of fiber, most yogurts have no fiber (see nutritional comparison chart at: http://www.thomas-pr.com/136/photos/healthyninjanutrition.html).  Healthy Ninja also combines the power of beans for protein and fiber with Chia seed, which absorbs 9 times its weight in water making you feel fuller longer to assist in weight management.  In addition, Chia seeds give you a performance edge by prolonging hydration to retain electrolytes during exercise and exertion.  The strawberries and raspberries also provide vitamins and antioxidants to give you and your family a dessert or snack that can be enjoyed with good health at any time of the day. 

    Fitness, health experts and doctors alike agree on the importance of fiber in the diet.  The Mayo Clinic Institute of Medicine 2012 recently listed the benefits of fiber (see article at: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/fiber/NU00033) : 

    • Lowers cholesterol levels:  soluble fiber found in beans, oats, flaxseed and oat bran may help lower total blood cholesterol levels by lowering low-density lipoprotein or “bad” cholesterol levels.  Studies also have shown that fiber may have other heart-health benefits, such as reducing blood pressure and inflammation.

    • Helps control blood sugar levels:  in people with diabetes, fiber (particularly soluble fiber) can slow the absorption of sugar and help improve blood sugar levels.  A healthy diet that includes insoluble fiber may also reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

    • Aids in achieving healthy weight:  high-fiber foods generally require more chewing time, which gives your body time to register when you’re no longer hungry, so you’re less likely to overeat.  Also, a high-fiber diet tends to make a meal feel larger and linger longer, so you stay full for a greater amount of time. And high-fiber diets also tend to be less “energy dense,” which means they have fewer calories for the same volume of food.

    Stay on Your Diet in the Holidays 

    Healthy Ninja is great to help you stay on your diet during the holiday season when most people gain 5-10 pounds.  A delicious festive dessert for Christmas, Holiday and New Year’s parties, Healthy Ninja can help keep you fit during the challenging end of year holiday season.  Available immediately at select Whole Foods Markets, Berkeley Bowl Market, and other retailers, Healthy Ninja has a suggested retail price of $7.99 for 1 pint.  For more information on Healthy Ninja, see the Website:  www.healthyninja.net, Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Healthy-Ninja/599718030048463,   Twitter: www.twitter.com/HealthyNinjaKR.

    URBAN XPLORER LAUNCHES VINTAGE INSPIRED
    AFFORDABLE LUXURY BACKPACK LINE
     
    HalfPack RT “Road Trip” Backpacks are Rugged, Multi-Functional for Business or Road Trips with an American Classic Design for Your Inner Explorer
     
    REVO Rapid Expand System Lets You Expand or Contract the Bag in Seconds
    Discounted on Kickstarter for a Limited Time - Campaign Starts November 15th
     

    November 19, 2013, El Dorado Hills, CA – Urban Xplorer www.xplorerbrand.com, creators of vintage inspired quality travel and lifestyle products that help people “Xplore” the world around them, announced today the Urban Xplorer® HalfPack RT line of “affordable luxury” backpacks. HalfPack RT (“RT” for Road Trip) is the first in Urban Xplorer’s affordable luxury line of stylish travel bags and gear.  

    Designed not just as a bag, but as multi-functional, customizable travel gear with a vintage American classic design, HalfPack RT can be used as a business and overnight bag for business trips and then transformed as casual travel gear for weekend road trips.  HalfPack RT easily transitions from the formal to the informal with detachable backpack straps, adjustable shoulder straps and multiple pockets and compartments to hold laptops, tablets, phones, accessories, paperwork, clothing, shoes and more to accommodate your needs. 

    Weatherproof and Stain Resistant NylonUX Ballistic Fabric for a Timeless Vintage Style 

    Available in designer colors of Brooklyn Bronze, Electric Burnt Orange, and Classic Black, HalfPack RT is made of weatherproof and stain resistant NylonUX™ Ballistic Fabric 1680D, with customizable cotton/polyester straps, leather accents, steel hardware, multiple side pockets, with additional storage space from Seattle Stuff Sack™ and CaliCooler™.  HalfPack RT is the best messenger bag and the best laptop bag on the market.  Excellent for use as a backpack for school, laptop backpack, or for use as a business or travel bag, HalfPack RT is named after its functionality as a half backpack + messenger  + classic business bag that incorporates modern day functionality with a timeless vintage style.  

    Features REVO™ (Rapid - Expansion - Volume – Options) System 

    The HalfPack RT features Urban Xplorer’s unique REVO design concept (Rapid Expansion Volume Options), which lets you adjust the functionality of the gear by the integration of customization features and accessories.  The bag can be physically expanded or contracted according to your needs, with additional storage space provided by the Seattle Stuff Sack™ customizable add-on pouch that attaches conveniently to the bottom or front side of the bags and other options.  HalfPack RT can function as a backpack with the backpack strap attached or as a briefcase by carrying it with the genuine leather wrapped handle.  It also functions as a messenger bag by storing the detachable backpack strap in the hideaway pouch and attaching the included long shoulder strap. This innovative REVO design system lets you choose the bag that you like and then customize it to fit your unique style and requirements.   

    “Before HalfPack RT, finding a quality made bag that was stylish, functional, customizable and yet affordable seemed impossible,” said Todd Fujiwara, President, Urban Xplorer.  “Backpacks are generally low quality with low functionality.  And typically if you desire a ‘quality’ made bag that is highly functional, you have to pay upwards of $300.  With HalfPack RT, we’ve created a luxury bag at an affordable sub $200 price point.”  

    HalfPack RT Features:

    ·        Material:  NylonUX™ Ballistic Fabric 1680D, Cotton/Polyester Straps, Leather Accents, Steel Hardware

    ·        Weatherproof and Stain Resistant NylonUX™

    ·        Detachable backpack and shoulder straps

    ·        Additional storage space provided with the Seattle Stuff Sack™ customizable add-on pouch that attaches conveniently to the bottom or front side of the Urban Xplorer bags.

    ·        CaliCooler™ additional storage space available.

    ·        Measurements: 13”H x 17”W x 7”D

    ·        HalfPack = half backpack, messenger, classic business style bag. 

    ·        One Year Limited Warranty 

    HalfPack RT is priced at $198 MSRP, available November 16th from www.xplorerbrand.com and select dealers.  For a limited time, from November 16-December 16, 2013, HalfPack RT will be available at a discounted price of $124 via their crowd funding promotion at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/urbanxplorer/affordable-luxurythe-urban-xplorer-xperience.

    Macworld Australia on foxl DASH7 - Awarded 5 out of 5 Mice Rating - Editor's Pick: "It’s one of those 'Wow!' products that never fails to put a smile on your face, and we have no hesitation in giving Soundmatters another perfect score and an Editor’s Pick."

    Soundmatters foxL DASH7
    Sound & Image, www.foxl.com.au

    Pros
    Excellent audio for the size; well-built; great for travellers
    Cons
    None – even the price is good
    $259


    Reviews In 2011 we reviewed the foxL v2.2 Bluetooth speaker from Soundmatters, declaring it “definitely something special”, saying its audio quality was “nothing short of astounding for a hand-sized unit” and giving it a score of 4.5 mice.

    Then in 2012 we followed that up with a review of the Platinum edition, which took its quality a step further. That time it scored a perfect 5 mice. Both times we awarded it an Editor’s Pick.

    Now it’s late 2013 and, after a number of delays, the foxL DASH7 is available in Australia. It’s similar to the v2 Series speakers in many aspects, but differs from them in one big way – it’s flat where the others are chunky.

    The DASH7 is 5.3cm wide, 19cm long and 1.8cm thick, which makes it a bit narrower than an iPhone 5, 50 percent longer and twice as thick.

    It has a black front grille and back, with a side band in white, black or red. To the right side of the grille are two volume buttons and another for power and Bluetooth control.

    Behind the grille are two speakers and a BassBattery, which is the same configuration as the V2 Series.

    The former are ‘Twoofers’ – tweeters that also woof – that deliver 2W of power when powered by the rechargeable battery or USB, and 4W when plugged into mains power via the 5V Power In jack.

    The BassBattery is a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery combined with an acoustic bass radiator – an unpowered panel which extends the bass by resonating at a frequency lower than the active Twoofers.

    Put together, they produce a sound that belies the DASH7′s size and is just as amazing as that of the V2 range. It’s rich and detailed with a beautiful balance across the tonal range.

    It’s best when placed relatively close to you – in front of the iPad on your desk, for instance – but can also sound excellent from across the room.

    We gave it a long test over a couple of weeks, playing everything from Verdi, Bach and Benny Carter to Them Crooked Vultures, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Lorde – and it didn’t disappoint us once.

    There’s a good amount of bass evident, but more is easily available by hooking up Soundmatters’ $219 foxLO subwoofer to the DASH7′s dedicated Sub Out jack.

    Macworld Australia on foxl DASH7 - Awarded 5 out of 5 Mice Rating - Editor's Pick: "It’s one of those 'Wow!' products that never fails to put a smile on your face, and we have no hesitation in giving Soundmatters another perfect score and an Editor’s Pick."

    The unit is designed to be omnidirectional when resting flat, and to provide a more targeted sound when standing up against the included case/stand.

    Rounding out the package are a 3.5mm audio-in jack, a noise-cancelling microphone that lets you use the speaker as a handsfree unit for phone calls, and a set of four wall power plugs for use in different countries.

    Bottom line.

    Almost all small Bluetooth speakers lack something – definition, bass, balance, power, etc – but there are no compromises you have to make with the foxL DASH7. It’s one of those “Wow!” products that never fails to put a smile on your face, and we have no hesitation in giving Soundmatters another perfect score and an Editor’s Pick.

    SENSOGLOVE WINS GOLF MAGAZINE’S TECHY AWARDS 2013 

    SensoGlove is World’s First Digital Golf Glove
    Corrects “Death Grip” for Better, More Accurate & Powerful Golf Swing

    Wall Street Journal on foxL DASH7 "Small Speakers, Mighty Sound" by Erik Sofge!

    Wall Street Journal on foxL DASH7 "Small Speakers, Mighty Sound" by Erik Sofge!

    Libratone Loop and foxL Dash7: Small Speakers, Mighty Sound
    By blasting sound in all directions, two new speakers belie their size

    WARM AND FUZZY Because the Dash7 (shown in front of an iPad) is just ¾-of-an-inch thick, it can sit in front of the screen without obstructing the view.

    FRONT AND CENTER: Traditionally, that’s where you need to sit in relation to an audio speaker for it to sound the fullest. But two new models—which coax soundwaves to splay out to the left and right, as well as center—manage to envelop a room without overwhelming it.

    Take, for instance, the foxL Dash7 (). You can think of this 7½-inch device as a soundbar for a tablet computer. Like a traditional television soundbar, the Dash7 is designed to span the width of a screen—in this case, that of an iPad or similar-size tablet. But unlike the most portable speakers, the Dash7 measures only ¾ inches deep. You can place it flat on a table, face up, in front of a propped-up tablet, and it will leave the image unobstructed. Yes, this leaves the Dash7 pointing toward the ceiling. But that’s not an issue, because the speaker is tweaked to disperse audio at a wide angle.

    Despite the Dash7′s slimness, its audio quality is a huge improvement over the feeble speakers built into most tablets. The iPad, for example, projects sound from one end of the device, making for a lopsided experience when watching videos, and even the front-mounted stereo speakers on less sonically challenged tablets are tinny and hollow. Connect the Dash7 and you’ll notice a much-needed boost in volume and clarity.

    The Dash7 can stream audio wirelessly over Bluetooth, and in our tests using an iPad to watch video, there was no lag between the sound and image that can plague other Bluetooth speakers. We also liked that the Dash7′s surprisingly grippy feet provide enough friction to function as a makeshift tablet stand. Lean your tablet against some books, and the Dash7 will keep the device from sliding forward.

    Planon PS905 PrintStik – Printing Goes Mini
    Submitted by Anil George on Mon, 09/02/2013 - 11:51

    T3 Middle East Magazine on PlanOn PrintStik "This could well be in every techie’s must-have list"!

    Great concept, perfection is a few OS upgrades away

    In terms of first impressions, the Planon PS905 PrintStik ticks all the right boxes. Very handy miniscule size, pretty smooth design, and the fact that you don’t need to refill paper thanks to an inbuilt roll. The device is touted as the smallest mobile printer, handy to printout a missing Air Ticket, or a few random notes you typed in the night before. The portability element apart, definite highlights include minimal moving parts for printing and the thermal ink factor, meaning cost efficiency.

    Installing the device was a synch, and soon enough we were printing a page. Interestingly, the paper roll is installed inside the device, meaning it’s just a question of attaching your device to the laptop and pressing Ctrl P. The paper prints at a decent speed, the spec sheet claims up to 3 pages per minute, it comes out in one of those thermal papers that you get at your ATM. Interestingly enough, it doesn’t take in double spaces, meaning even if you type just 4 lines across an entire A4, the 4 get compressed and print. Pretty smart, that bit. Once the print is done, you merely tear out the paper.

    The fact that you have to purchase the preloaded paper cartridge @ USD 29.99 for a set of 3 might seem an indulgence, but the thermal printing makes up for it in cost. Now, on to the not so great side… Lets assume lack of support for USB 3.0 is okay, but this device doesn’t support Windows 7, Windows 8 or Android. Huge downers, those.

    Still, with OS Support updated, this could well be in every techie’s must-have list. The brand is constantly getting in the ‘first ever’ category [they recently launched the world’s smallest full page color scanner, which can scans with voice recordings to mobile devices], so we could expect an upgrade soon enough….

    GOLF-X-CUBE ANNOUNCES ULTIMATE GOLF TRAINING TOOL --

     QUICKLY DEVELOP A RELIABLE, REPETITIVE SWING

    IN AS FAST AS 15 MINUTES 

    Patent-Pending GOLF-X-CUBE Training Tool Improves Your Golf Handicap &

    Protects You from Back Injury -- Small, Fits Perfectly in a Golf Bag 

    August 29, 2013, Quakenbrück, Germany Golf-X-Cube www.golf-x-cube.com, the golf experts and creators of patent-pending golf accessories and training tools that make golf easier and more enjoyable, announced today the GOLF-X-CUBE Training Tool, the ultimate training tool to teach you to play better golf in as quickly as 15 minutes.  GOLF-X-CUBE is a patent-pending training tool that fits easily in your golf bag, teaching you a reliable, repetitive swing to improve your handicap and make golf more fun.   

    GOLF-X-CUBE is a UV-resistant polyamide reinforced cube with a hole on the bottom to insert a tee to keep it in place.  GOLF-X-CUBE sits in front of you, between you and the ball as you practice your swing to show you the proper golf stance, guiding you to hit the ball more consistently and straighter.  In as little as 15 minutes, you will see an improvement in your swing, and with 4-6 weeks of practice, your golf score will improve with better control of your body.   

    Simple to Use -- Powerful Results – Includes Instructional Video DVD & User Manual 

    The GOLF-X-CUBE Golf Training Tool is a visual tool which includes an instructional video DVD and user manual for training guidance.  It features a deep green colored top and neon-yellow sides that work as color guides to show you when you are swinging with the correct position. When looking at the guide from above and preparing a backswing, the yellow sides should not be seen.  If you see yellow sides, you are using too much upper body movement and need to try it again with a straighter position.  GOLF-X-CUBE is simple to use, with powerful results. 

    Protect Yourself from Back Injury 

    Most golfers don’t start playing golf until they are in their 40’s, 50’s or older, which makes it harder on their bodies to rotate using the correct angle and speed, leading to back injury.  This is why you see so many golfers taking medications for their backs and why it is crucial to learn the correct swing to protect your back when playing golf.  GOLF-X-CUBE shows you how a balanced swing should feel.  When you train with GOLF-X-CUBE, you will learn how to rotate your shoulders along the axis of the spine so you don’t have excessive sideways stress on your spinal column, the cause of most damage to discs.   

    Priced at $33.95, GOLF-X-CUBE is available immediately from www.golf-x-cube.com at http://www.golf-x-cube.com/shop/de/training/1-golf-x-cube.html  and other major retailers.  GOLF-X-CUBE includes the cube visual aid tool, instructional video DVD, and manual.  For more information, see www.golf-x-cube.com.

    Based in Quakenbrück, Germany, GOLF-X-CUBE International is the creator of patent-pending golf accessories and training tools that make golf easier and more enjoyable.  For more information, see www.golf-x-cube.com.

    IDEVICES ANNOUNCES NEW UPDATED IGRILL APP

    FOR IPHONE 5

     

    Utilizes iPhone 5’s New Features, including Retina Display and 1.2 Megapixel HD Camera

     

    iDevices Works with Companies to App-Enable their Products

     

    September 20, 2012, Avon, CT – iDevices®, LLC, www.idevicesinc.com, the creator of the award-winning iGrill® Bluetooth® cooking thermometer at www.iGrillinc.com, announced today the new iGrill App for the newly announced iPhone 5 and iPod touch.  Available seven days prior to the iPhone 5 shipping, the iGrill app has been updated, approved by Apple, and available in the iTunes App Store, instantly utilizing some of the newest iPhone 5 features, including a clearer HD camera, a larger 4-inch on the diagonal retina display, and a single log-in for social media sites, like Facebook and Twitter.

     

    iGrill App’s New iPhone 5 Features:

    ·        Retina Display:  clearer viewing of iGrill app through iPhone’s enhanced 1136x640 pixel resolution retina display across a 4-inch diagonal widescreen display.

    ·        Facebook:  integration with Facebook gives iGrill community a view of each other’s epicurean world (recently used by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who uploaded his iGrill steak masterpiece to his page with thousands of hits on the iGrill site).

    ·        HD Camera:  1.2 megapixel HD camera allows users to upload crystal clear images of their food creations.

     

    Bluetooth 4.0 Integration with iPhone 5

     

    A new feature of the iPhone 5 is the further integration of Bluetooth 4.0, which was first introduced in the iPhone 4S.  The iPhone 5’s Bluetooth 4.0 technology works with “idevices,” creating a connection that consumes only a small percentage of the power of the previous version of Bluetooth 2.0.  It also enables devices to be powered by small, coin-cell batteries or paper thin batteries, both of which iDevices is in co-development with its partners.  This provides a significantly longer battery life and lower production cost.  In addition, Bluetooth 4.0 also diminishes the need for users to go through the pairing process to connect their devices, making Bluetooth 4.0 device an easier experience for the end user. 

     

    “We are excited to see that Apple is focusing on the continued deployment of Bluetooth 4.0 technology with the iPhone 5.  It’s these types of enhancements from Apple that allow companies, like ourselves, to continue to release cutting edge app-enabled products to the consumer.  We are currently in development on a number of new Bluetooth 4.0 products and we are extremely excited to see the market’s reaction to these new products,” said Christopher Allen, CEO, iDevices, LLC. 

     

    iDevices Consulting Works with Companies to App-Enable their Products

     

    In addition to producing award winning Bluetooth products, including the iGrill meat thermometer and iShower water-resistant shower speaker, iDevices also helps other companies incorporate Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to app-enable their products with its iDevices Consulting Division.  “iDevices Consulting is already working with a number of companies to utilize our Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi expertise so they too can capitalize on this cutting edge technology to enhance their customers user experience with the iPhone 5. This new technology will broaden the capabilities for hundreds, if not thousands, of app-enabled products, with explosive growth over the next 12-18 months,” said Christopher Allen, CEO, iDevices, LLC.  “iDevices Consulting is extremely well positioned to take advantage of the new Bluetooth technology in this dynamic new market.”

    A New Concept in Efficiency – Scan on the Go with Voice Notes for Reminders or Personal Messages

    ·        For Salespeople:  scan needed IDs and other documents right at a client’s home, saving time and providing important backup for real estate, banking and insurance sales professionals.

    ·        On Vacation:  capture 600dpi clear images on vacation, for menus, wine bottle label, receipts, or paperwork.

    ·        Home Office:  make digital copies of receipts, tax records, and filings.  Scan checks as you are ready to mail them, since most banks no longer return paper checks with statements.

    Review: ArtRage makes creating natural-looking art easy and fun
    At a Glance
    ArtRage 4.0

    $50.00
    ArtRage is easy and pleasant to start working with, especially if you have a pen tablet or a touchscreen computer.

    Erez Zukerman
     
    Painting is fun. Unfortunately, software for painting often gets a bad rep: I don't mean image-editing (Photoshop), but actual painting (Microsoft Paint). But Microsoft Paint is at the very bottom of the painting totem pole, often associated squiggly-looking Rage Guy memes. More modern tools like SpeedyPainter and Corel Painter Lite show that creating beautiful, natural-looking art using a computer is possible, and doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. ArtRage joins these accessible tools with its own touch-friendly interface and an attractive $50 price tag.

    The Symmetry feature makes for interesting paintings that sometimes look like koalas.
     
    Much like Corel Painter Lite and its older sibling, Corel Painter, ArtRage simulates natural media. Paper and brush both have textures; load your brush with paint and draw it across the canvas with one long stroke, and it will gradually fade out. Paint over an area again, and colors will blend, leaving visible brush strokes.

    ArtRage's interface is simple to pick up, with most functions in easy reach. I tested it with a simple stylus and one of the new breed of touchscreen-enabled laptops, the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13. Radial toolbars at the bottom two corners of the screen let me quickly switch tools and adjust colors without fiddling with menus. Other tools show up as floating panels, which are easy to drag and resize using large, comfortable grippers, and automatically wink out of existence as you paint near them. You can pan, zoom, and rotate the canvas with two fingers, making for a very natural workflow. While most of the interface is touch-friendly, it's not all quite there yet: Adjusting layer opacity still requires the keyboard, for example.

    Stencils and rulers make it easy to constrain your work.
     
    Once you get used to the friendly interface and simple tools, it's time to start playing around with some of the more creative features. Symmetry makes it possible to create interesting, kaleidoscope-like drawings, while stencils and rulers let you constrict your work in interesting ways, for a more accurate, geometric look. Stencils and rulers are made to look like physical objects lying on top of your canvas: You can drag them around and resize them, but they look like pieces of plastic or metal. ArtRage supports layers, too, and you can blur individual layers, adjust their blend modes, change their textures, and more.

    When zooming in for detail work, it often helps to keep the big picture in mind. When watching videos made with SpeedyPainter, I noticed just how often artists would zoom in and out, again and again, to get a sense of how the work is progressing. ArtRage helps avoid this by offering a feature called Views. A View works like a little Polaroid snap of your painting that lies on top of your canvas while you zoom in to work on the details. Just like a physical Polaroid, you can drag the View around and rotate it. Unlike its real-world counterpart, you can also change a View's size, and zoom in or out on its contents. The same concept is used to show pieces of scrap canvas or other files for reference.

    Polaroid-like Views of your work keep the big picture in view while zooming in for detail work.
    ArtRage feels deep and capable, but remains accessible and easy to start with. The attractive price tag doesn't hurt, either. Like most other painting software, it is usable with a mouse, but shines when used with a pen tablet or a touchscreen. If you're looking for an affordable and simple way to get into digital painting, try ArtRage out.

    Sree Tips: Father’s Day Apps And Gift Ideas
    June 13, 2013 8:17 AM
    NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - Father’s Day is this Sunday and it’s a good excuse to get a gift for the dads, granddads, uncles, and just-plain good guys in our lives.

    Sree Sreenivasan, tech expert from our partner network CNET and Columbia University’s chief digital officer, has some ideas you’ll want to know about.

    If the man you are buying a gift for already has a smartphone or a tablet, these are some cool, useful, and fun ideas for paid apps you can get him.

    You can use the “Gift this app” function in the iTunes App Store or buy a Google Play gift card at a retailer via play.google.com/about/giftcards/

    The final item is not an app, but an actual gift, though it is a digital one.

    It’s the SensoGlove ($89).

    It’s a gift your dad can touch and feel. The SensoGlove is a way to improve his swing by analyzing and giving real-time feedback about his grip. It has a small device on the back of a normal looking glove (you can move it to a new glove if your old one wears out).


     

    SensoGlove in Newsday “SensoGlove, the world’s first digital golf glove, analyzes your swing via sensors and gives instant feedback.”

    Golf Gear
    If there's ever a time to get the most of a mashie - or putter, driving iron or niblick - it's June, when the weather urges golfers out to L.I. courses, from Bethpage Black to Shinnecock Hills. Which makes golf gear the perfect gift for many a dad (and grad - male or female).

    Sensoglove, the world's first digital golf glove, analyzes your swing via sensors and gives instant feedback on grip pressure on an LED digital display; originally $89, now $71.20 (use coupon code "FathersDay13") at sensoglove.com.

    From My Barber

    By Benjamin Maynigo 

    PRODUCT REVIEWS [For DADs and KIDS] 

    As Father’s Day approaches, I receive a Press Release from my favorite PR agent Karen Thomas whose firm bearing her name is the top PR firm for Consumer Technology products. This is immediately followed by the delivery of a couple of sample products for review.

    I find the two technology products interesting for they cater to different generations – one for Dads and the other for Kids or Grandkids. Both qualify as great gifts on Father’s Day. 

    SensoGlove 

    This is a golf glove. Dads who love to play golf and want to improve their game would definitely like to receive this as a gift. 

    This is the only golf glove in the market with a built-in digital computer. It is also the only golf glove that monitors a golfing Dad’s grip pressure throughout his swing. 

    Golfers know that a lighter grip improves distance and accuracy with every club, including chipping and putting. Continuous grip monitoring through the built-computer would assist in training or practicing a lighter grip. 

    The presence of digital computer is not annoying. It is light-weight and can be removed and replaced without removing the glove – functional only when needed. 

    SensoGlove “looks, feels, and works just like a regular golf glove,” so a golfing Dad can use it for practice or play. In fact, SensoGlove can be and has been used for backyard practice, on the driving range, or during an actual round. 

    Practicing with this glove teaches you the correct grip pressure for a smooth, consistent swing that delivers greater distance, enhanced precision, and lower scores. 

    Golfing Dads should have it as a Father’s Day gift as they watch and dream of playing at the coming U.S. Open! 

    KIDZ GEAR VOLUME LIMITED HEADPHONES for KIDS 

    WHAT’S YOUR COLOR? 

    The other product sent to me for review is wired headphone distributed by Kidz Gear with a limited volume for use by kids. 

    In a Day Care Center managed by a friend in my neighborhood, I usually lend an iPod with several playlists pre-recorded. Very popular among the kids which include babies, is a song “Heavy” by Jason Myles Goss. I purposely limit the volume for safety as I attach a wireless speaker so everybody can listen and dance. It was such a hit among them that every time I visit, those who can speak shout “Heavy” the moment they see me. 

    When I received the sample product for review, I visited the Day Care Center to test the product among the kids with the right age. I connected the Volume Limited Headphone to the iPod, and placed it on one kid’s ear. The child started listening, smiling and dancing to the tune of “Heavy”. 

    I understand that the Kidz Gear Volume Limited Headphone is the first adult-featured stereo headphone made specifically for kids. I tested it myself and it really delivers great, rich sound quality for music and even audio books be they MP3s or contents coming from smartphones, tablets, radio, Game Players and other mobile devices. They are touted as the safest headphones for kids’ use in the market. If  you are looking for something to keep your kids still while in the car, at home, or on the plane, this is definitely a good one to try.  

    It is designed to fit the little heads of children. It is also adjustable for those whose heads are a little bigger. They come in different beautiful colors. 

    The box sent to me for review includes a headphone carry bag and splitter cable. The latter allows the other kids to listen to the same music that the headphone user is listening to. 

    It is reasonably priced. I recommend it for Parents to buy either for their children or as gifts to others.
