New Videojet 1000 Line High Resolution Continuous Inkjet Printers Meet Micro Printing Needs
NAVI MUMBAI, India, April 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Manufacturers in the electronics
[http://www.videojet.in/in/homepage/industry-solutions/electrical-components-and-electronics.html ]
, components and cable sectors, as well as other industries requiring ultra-small
printing capabilities, can now benefit from high quality micro printing with advanced
uptime thanks to the new 1650 High Resolution (HR) and 1620 HR Continuous Inkjet (CIJ)
printers [http://www.videojet.in/in/homepage/products/continuous-inkjet-printers.html ]
from Videojet Technologies. Enhanced micro printing capabilities of the new printers
achieve high-resolution, quality printing of characters as small as 0.6 mm in height, and
speeds of up to 348 meters per minute. The 40 micron nozzle enables the 1650 HR and 1620
HR systems to print 2D bar codes and highly legible alphanumeric multiline codes at high
speeds on integrated circuits, small-diameter cables and other products with limited
printing space, optimizing traceability for manufacturers without compromising line
productivity.
The new HR micro printers build-off the highly successful Videojet 1000 Line platform
and the application-tested 'Ultra-High-Speed' nozzle innovations that Videojet released in
2013. With tens of thousands of successful installations, the 1000 line platform continues
to be the standard for CIJ uptime performance. The new HR printer nozzle leverages the
proprietary Precision Ink Drop[TM] technology which allows the nozzle to operate at over
100,000 drops per second via the advanced high frequency printhead design, which together
with sophisticated software algorithms, modifies the flight path of individual ink drops
for optimal code quality. Anthony Blencowe, Business Unit Director for CIJ at Videojet
Technologies, explained: "Manufacturers using micro print place a premium on print
quality. The 1650 HR and 1620 HR incorporate these enhancements plus specialised rasters
to overcome the print quality challenges inherent in shortened character heights and fast
line speeds. Manufacturers can now print more data with better legibility, at faster line
speeds, often in the same, limited print area."
The new HR printers feature Videojet patented CleanFlow(TM) technology, which reduces
ink build-up on nozzle ends, enabling the printers to run longer than traditional micro
printing systems between nozzle cleaning intervals, significantly cutting maintenance
requirements. The printhead offers automated cleaning, supporting faster system start-ups
even after extended line shut downs, increasing production uptime. An internal pump
eliminates the need for external air, lowering the risk of contaminants in the ink stream,
further boosting print consistency.
Complementing the advanced nozzle technology, the HR printers use a range of
specialised halogen-free inks, which offer abrasion, temperature and chemical-resistance.
All inks can be used on RoHS compliant products (EC 2011/65/EU Annex II) to meet the
specific needs of the electronics industry. This allows the printing of durable,
wear-resistant codes that are suitable for a host of applications including printing on
heat sinks, capacitors, connectors and high insulation tapes.
In common with the other 1000 Line Videojet CIJ printers, the 1650 HR and 1620 HR high
speed inkjet printers
[http://www.videojet.in/in/homepage/products/continuous-inkjet-printers/videojet-ultra-high-speed-printers.html ]
feature the Smart Cartridge(TM) fluid system that helps to ensure
that only the correct ink is selected for each product, supporting electronics and wire
and cabling manufacturers who may be using multiple ink types. The printers use a needle
and septum to draw ink from each cartridge, eliminating the risk of spillages and reducing
waste. This offers a real advantage in the clean environments commonly found in micro
print applications.
To meet manufacturers' specific operational needs, both HR systems offer unique
features to aid functionality for line personnel. The 1650 HR features the Videojet
exclusive CLARiTY(TM) touchscreen, which offers built-in productivity tools to help boost
OEE and enhance line efficiency. The 1620 HR comes with a keypad interface that is robust
and easy-to-use with minimal training, facilitating simple and speedy product changeovers.
Blencowe added, "The 1650 HR and 1620 HR are uniquely designed to deliver what is most
critical to manufacturers requiring micro print capability - provide the highest print
quality down to the smallest size code, even at high speeds. Serious investment in R&D has
helped us really understand the demanding conditions that customers in electronics and
wire and cable plants operate in, to which these printers can deliver."

Smart Hardware Company popSLATE Creates New Category With Always-On, Second-Screen To Enhance The Smartphone Experience
New brand's first offering transforms the back of your phone into a 24/7 showcase for images and information
SAN FRANCISCO, April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Marking its Company launch, today popSLATE is releasing its first product, popSLATE for iPhone 6. The Silicon Valley-based smart hardware company is committed to creating differentiated products for the mobile user, and its category-defining first product delivers on this promise. popSLATE for iPhone 6 extends the smartphone experience by enabling instant customization and providing valuable, at-a-glance information, all while saving precious phone battery and protecting the phone itself.
popSLATE's second screen platform connects a flexible, full-size, always-on e-ink display to images, data and apps on your phone. The e-ink display (similar to the technology used on a Kindle), takes zero power to persistently display any image. Additionally, in contrast to traditional glass-based e-ink screens, popSLATE uses next-generation plastic screen technology, making the display shatter and crack proof. Because the screen is always on, you can display anything on the back of your phone, such as your favorite pictures, a boarding pass, a daily schedule, to do list, and more, without ever draining your phone's battery to access the information. The display communicates wirelessly via Bluetooth with your phone via the popSLATE app, which enables you to 'pop' content from a variety of sources for display, including your phone's photo gallery and Instagram. Further, the display is physically integrated into a stylish black or white case to seamlessly attach to, and protect, the phone.
A New Dimension for the Smartphone Experience
popSLATE was born from two key epiphanies: the first was the realization that the average consumer unlocks the phone 150 times per day, mainly to access single pieces of information, which quickly drains battery and wastes time; the second was that the back of the phone was completely untapped, ubiquitous and extremely large real estate.
"We recognized the existing mobile experience--constantly unlocking your phone to launch an app to access simple information, and burn up precious time and battery life--could be a lot more efficient," said Yashar Behzadi, CEO and Founder, popSLATE. "We knew there had to be a better way to access data and images and have them available anytime--that your apps should work for you, rather than the other way around."
With these epiphanies, popSLATE came up with the concept of an 'always-on' use scenario to give you what you need at-a-glance. The team identified the back of the phone as the ideal first location to deliver this new experience. Not only is this large space underutilized on every phone but it also provides the perfect complementary frontside-backside experience that popSLATE envisions--namely, use of the main smartphone screen for deeply interactive tasks, enhanced by use of the ultra-low-power popSLATE screen for ambient consumption of content and data.
Unique Team Behind popSLATE
Silicon Valley veterans Yashar Behzadi and Greg Moon are the founders of popSLATE. Behzadi is the CEO and leads product and technology development and comes from an engineering and technology strategy background. Behzadi holds 20 patents and has been building smart, connected hardware products in the Silicon Valley for nearly a decade. Moon has considerable tenure in the technology space and has previously launched first-in-class wearable products. With his strong background in new market development, he leads marketing for the company.
The founders recognized early that the vision that popSLATE set out to achieve requires a team with unique DNA. To create an intelligent platform that combines connected hardware, apps, and content, they have assembled a talented group of technologists, hardware and software developers, in addition to data scientists and designers. To drive expansion in the US and abroad, popSLATE has recently added seasoned consumer electronics executives to the team.
Using popSLATE
popSLATE is easy to use, with the complex technology hidden behind a seamless user experience. Simply place the second screen on your iPhone 6 and pair it, via Bluetooth, to the free popSLATE app. To customize your popSLATE, you can instantly 'pop' anything, anytime - from your camera, gallery, your friends, and Instagram. Any image 'popped' to the second screen will remain there until you choose to change it. For productivity purposes, you can choose to have key information sent to the screen for at-a-glance access, such as tickets, boarding passes, daily calendar, to-do lists, maps, and workout routines. The popSLATE app also powers a rich social experience, enabling you to share 'pops' with other members of the popSLATE community and to find great content from friends, other users, and premium designers and artists.
Although popSLATE is always-on and infinitely customizable, it won't drain your phone battery, which is critical for all smartphone users. popSLATE's next-generation, plastic e-ink technology uses no power to hold an image and very little power to change an image. This sip of power comes from the on-board popSLATE battery (not the phone), which lasts up to a week on a single charge. In this way, popSLATE actually saves phone battery power, by reducing the need to constantly unlock your phone and use your power-hungry phone screen.
Another key aspect of the platform is that popSLATE's functionality will continue to grow over time. Through free, rolling software updates and over-the-air update capabilities, the popSLATE team will frequently introduce new productivity features, app integrations and premium content. Nearly future-proof, users will therefore get more and more value out of their original purchase.
"Everybody who has used the product wants one and has recommended it to their friends," continued Behzadi. "They immediately come up with their own personal uses, from showing off images fromtheir favorite artists, to accessing their calendars & to-do lists, to bringing their Instagram feed into the real world. Based on the initial great response, we are excited to launch the product and continue to see it evolve with the help of the popSLATE community."
Where Can I Get My popSLATE?
popSLATE for iPhone 6 starts to ship on April 21(st), and can be ordered on the popSLATE website: http://www.popSLATE.com. The product is available in white or black for $129.00 USD. While popSLATE will be in premium retailers later this year, it is currently only available online.
About popSLATE

Gigamon Announces New Visibility Fabric Innovations for 40Gb Networks, Security and Mobile Service Providers
New Edge Node and Software Release Demonstrates Ubiquitous Applicability of Unified Visibility Fabric
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Gigamon Inc. (NYSE: GIMO), the leader in traffic visibility solutions with its innovative Unified Visibility Fabric(TM), today announced a new high-density edge node, the GigaVUE-TA40 for visibility into 40Gb networks, and a suite of new GigaVUE-OS(TM) capabilities that further enhance the breadth of the Unified Visibility Fabric. The new capabilities span a broad spectrum, including, expansion of its security offerings in the areas of inline bypass and privacy safeguards, introduction of a unique whitelisting capability for mobile service providers, and general availability of GigaVUE-OS on select third party white box switches from Quanta Cloud Technology (QCT).
"As network architects race to deploy next-generation networks for enterprise, data center and service provider environments, they are simultaneously challenged to maintain pervasive visibility of their network traffic - both physical and virtual," said Ananda Rajagopal, vice president of product line management at Gigamon. "The enhancements that we announced today provide architects and admins the ability to see more, secure more and do more with their network and traffic that it transports."
Gigamon Traffic Aggregation Nodes - Gateways to Visibility
To address traffic visibility gaps and challenges inherent with network upgrade cycles, Gigamon today unleashed its most powerful traffic aggregation (TA) node, the GigaVUE-TA40. Ideal for large-scale enterprise edge deployments or high-volume data centers migrating to 40Gb, the GigaVUE-TA40 sports 32 x 40Gb ports in a 1 RU form factor, allowing for the connection of multiple SPAN/TAP traffic feeds into 40Gb uplinks that feed the core of the Visibility Fabric. When combined with 40Gb BiDi TAPs and optics, this solution is especially relevant to Cisco customers migrating to 40Gb networks or deploying Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) who need pervasive visibility into advanced architectures.
Powered by GigaVUE-OS, the software that powers the Visibility Fabric, the new GigaVUE-TA40 inherits all built-in Fabric Services, such as patented Flow Mapping® and can be clustered with core nodes to gain access to rich traffic intelligence provided by GigaSMART packet functions and applications, such as SSL Decryption, NetFlow Generation, De-duplication, and more.
You Can't Secure What You Can't See
Gigamon is bolstering its security capabilities with today's introduction of copper inline bypass that complements the existing fiber inline bypass capabilities on the GigaVUE-HC2. This provides 1GbE fail-safe access ports for inline security appliances, such as intrusion prevention systems, next-generation firewalls, secure email gateways, and other inline security systems that need to be inline with networks that still have a 1Gb copper infrastructure.
To ensure data privacy, Gigamon has enhanced its Adaptive Packet Filtering (APF) GigaSMART application with the ability to perform pattern match-based masking. This allows for any sensitive data, such as credit card or personal identifiable information to be identified anywhere in the network traffic and then masked with a functional substitute, helping address compliance and regulatory requirements.
Enabling Mobile Service Providers to Attach Value-Added Services to Premier Subscribers
As adoption of 4G and LTE networks expands and volume of traffic in these networks grows, mobile service providers are grappling with the growing costs and challenges of customer experience management. Gigamon has introduced a unique mechanism that allows mobile providers to gain per-subscriber visibility using whitelists. Combined with the pre-existing GTP Correlation capability in the Visibility Fabric, mobile carriers can now create custom whitelists of specific subscribers using their IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) that can be used to identify security threats to a specific subscriber, attach value-added services to a specific subscriber, or conduct real-time analytics for a premium subscriber.
General Availability of GigaVUE-OS on Third Party White Box
Earlier this year, Gigamon announced its plans to make its software, GigaVUE-OS available on select third party white box hardware. The new release of GigaVUE-OS is now certified to run on QuantaMesh BMS T3048-LY2R, a 10GbE bare metal switch from Quanta Cloud Technology (QCT) and is now generally available.
Pricing & Availability
The GigaVUE-TA40 and the new enhancements to the GigaVUE-OS software are available now from authorized Gigamon channel partners. List price for the GigaVUE-TA40 starts at $29,995. The new software updates to GigaVUE-OS and the new GigaSMART application enhancements are available at no additional charge to existing customers with a valid support and maintenance contract.

New Mobile App, Ruri, Allows Users to Create Professional Presentations On the Go
iPad app reduces the time and expertise needed for users to create attractive presentations
TOKYO, April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ruri, a newly released mobile application for the iPad and available to download for free on the App Store, allows users to create attractive and engaging presentations without previous design experience.
Created by iPad app developer Martians Talk, Ruri comes fully loaded with features and graphics designed to make every presentation look as if it was produced by a professional designer. Ruri includes built-in templates, modern typography, and animated backgrounds to give each presentation an engaging and unique appearance.
"Ruri was designed to provide users with an easy to use platform and the tools necessary to create one of a kind professional presentations," said Kyohei Nakamori, founder of Martians Talk. "While other presentation applications require extensive knowledge, skills, and training to design captivating presentations, Ruri allows users with little or no design experience to create seamless and visually appealing presentations."
The Ruri mobile app allows users to:
-- Impress their audience with stunning graphics
-- Create professional-looking slides using well-designed templates
-- Design presentations easily and quickly on the go
"Many businesses, entrepreneurs, and individuals are looking for a presentation application and design tools to create striking presentations to get their message across in the most effective and engaging way," said Nakamori. "We understand that some people don't have the skills or knowledge to easily create a presentation or the budget to hire a professional designer, and that is why Ruri stands out. It is easy to use and provides the tools and resources to help people achieve the professional and polished design they are looking for."
Ruri was developed by Kyohei Nakamori, a Tokyo-based engineer, designer, and marketer. Nakamori helped launch the mobile app, Eight, in 2011, which was selected as "Best Apps of 2014" by Google Play Japan and "Best New Apps" in the App Store Japan.

BitPlay Launches First-ever Mobile Gaming Platform Where Players Compete To Win Bitcoin
Android versions of first two games available for free download at Google Play
BOSTON, April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- BitPlay Today Inc., a startup that is first to provide a platform for mobile consumers to compete and win Bitcoin, formally launched the BitPlay Network today with Android versions of three games that are wildly popular with mobile consumers - Coin Crusher, Coin Flapper and Coin Flapper PRO.
The BitPlay Network is the industry's first platform to offer mobile games in formats players already know and love in a network where players compete with each other to win Bitcoin. The BitPlay Network offers competitive tournaments where players match up against three opponents selected by BitPlay, as well as in one-on-one, head-to-head challenges where players compete directly with their friends.
Depending on players' skills and levels of success in tournaments or challenges, they are instantly awarded Bitcoin in off-block-chain micro-transactions. At any time, a player can send his or her winnings to any Bitcoin wallet by simply entering, pasting or scanning a destination Bitcoin address and clicking the "Send" button -- initiating an immediate block chain transaction.
Coincident with the launch of the BitPlay Network, BitPlay has introduced three free native Android mobile game apps: Coin Crusher, and Coin Flapper, and Coin Flapper PRO.
-- Coin Crusher is a game where players are presented with a field of
colorful jewels that they must reposition to score points by creating
three-jewel combinations. In a 40-second flash round, players must score
as many points as they can.
-- Coin Flapper is a game where players must navigate a flapping bird
through randomly positioned pillars without colliding with them. A point
is awarded for each pillar successfully navigated.
In both Coin Crusher and Coin Flapper, entry into tournaments and head-to-head challenges is 100 percent free. Players finishing in the top three positions of a tournament, or winning a head-to-head challenge, can win as much as 6 bits, depending on the game played and finishing position. Coin Crusher and Coin Flapper are available today in the Google Play app store.
Coin Flapper PRO plays the same way as Coin Flapper except in PRO tournaments players are asked to pay a small entry fee and are offered the opportunity to win larger amounts of Bitcoin as they compete. Deposits for entry fees are made by sending Bitcoin to an assigned player Bitcoin address and are immediately credited and available for use.
Coin Flapper PRO players can win up to 3,000 bits depending on their skill and where they place. Coin Flapper PRO also supports the same free tournaments and challenges available in Coin Flapper. Coin Flapper PRO is available for download and installation directly from BitPlay Today at http://bitplay.today/coin-flapper-pro.
Coin Crusher and Coin Flapper have been available in beta since late November 2014, with Coin Flapper PRO's open beta period beginning today.
BitPlay's CEO Christopher Hassett said the platform sees more than a million games played every week, with more than 200,000 micro-transactions processed each day for players who have won Bitcoin. Growth has come mainly through word of mouth. The games are actively being played by consumers around the world in Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, Russia and the United States.
"We are also the first and only mobile competitive gaming platform to use Bitcoin as its in-game currency," Hassett said. "Given the usage we've seen during our initial beta period alone, our two games are awarding more Bitcoin in more micro-transactions on a daily basis than any other mobile application in the world."
According to Newzoo, a video-game-research company, global mobile game revenues in 2015 are expected to surpass console game revenues for the first time and reach $30.3 billion worldwide. BitPlay addresses the largest portion of that market - the segment of mass-market consumers who are already familiar with the casual gaming formats that BitPlay is introducing competitively.
"As a company based upon the Bitcoin economy, we're using games to make it easier for mainstream consumers to acquire Bitcoin using the micro-transactions approach," added Hassett. "Micro-transactions, along with its global and certified transactional capabilities, are two core strengths of the Bitcoin technology that make the BitPlay Network a compelling and unique new gaming platform."
Hassett has extensive experience in casual gaming, including his role as president and chief operating officer of Uproar, Inc., a leading Internet-based casual gaming company he and his two partners took public on NASDAQ in 2000 and ultimately sold to Vivendi Universal. Under Hassett's management, Uproar serviced millions of active casual game players and achieved revenues in excess of $60 million annually.
About BitPlay:
Started in 2015, BitPlay Inc., is a privately held Boston-based startup that aims to drive mainstream adoption of Bitcoin and micro-transactions worldwide by taking advantage of the global interest in mobile gaming. BitPlay incents people to download and play popular free mobile games by providing them a competitive platform where they compete to win. With millions of games played every week, Coin Flapper and Coin Crusher are the most actively used mobile apps that award real Bitcoin to competing players.

CORK, Ireland, April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Excelsys Technologies today announced that it has added a new family of extended trim range powerMods to its existing UltiMod and Xgen platforms. The new modules, XgM XgN, XgP and XgQ, are available with nominal output voltages of 5V, 12V, 24V and 48V, respectively. Each module can be dynamically trimmed down to 1V; a feature that offers unparalleled flexibility for system designers who need dynamic control of output voltages over extreme voltage ranges. With output power levels ranging from 200W to 288W, these modules are especially well suited for use in a broad range of applications spanning the medical, industrial and Hi-Rel/MIL-COTS markets.
Complementing Excelsys' existing range of powerMod products, the new extended trim range power modules can be used in any of the company's UltiMod, Xgen-Ultra Quiet, Xgen-High Power or XF Hi Rel/Mil COTS modular platforms. Each of these platforms is certified to EN60950 for industrial applications, as well as EN60601-1 2nd and 3rd edition for medical applications. These certifications enable the modules to fully meet stringent creepage and clearance, 4KVAC isolation, and <300uA leakage current requirements. The module solutions are also compliant with the SEMI F47 semiconductor manufacturing standard to meet voltage dips and interruption requirements. And all Excelsys products are compliant with relevant EMC emission and immunity standards. Additionally, the new power modules deliver complete power supply efficiencies up to 92% and come with a five year warranty.
The XgM, XgN, XgP and XgQ powerMods can be connected in parallel or series for higher-current and higher-voltage solutions. They also feature -40 degrees C start up.

New Premium Program Launched for Onlineprinters Customers
NEUSTADT AN DER AISCH, Germany, April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
The reliable print partner for companies, agencies and resellers
Onlineprinters, the provider of online printing services, is a powerful and reliable
print partner to professional users such as companies, agencies and resellers including
conventional print shops.
"The new Premium Program is tailored to companies and resellers and provides decisive
benefits for their business, for example a dedicated key account manager, an attractive
scale of discounts and individual purchasing and processing agreements. This is very well
received," says Anita Holzhauser, Head of Onlineprinters Customer Service and Sales, who
is pleased about the successful launch of the online printer's new Premium Service.
The personalised services offered under the Premium Program are open to online
shoppers with an annual print volume of at least 10,000 euros. Customers who use the
convenient shopping features regularly to order their standard print material online in 14
online shops serving 30 European countries can choose from 1,400 print products available
in multi-million configurations including business cards, flyers, stationery, brochures,
advertising systems and large-format printings (LFP). "Mutual trust and personal customer
relationships are our priority. Each registered Premium Customer has a dedicated key
account manager at his/her side that can be contacted directly for any questions
concerning orders, products, services or complaints," Anita Holzhauser details the new
Premium Service.
The status as a Premium Partner comes with a series of benefits and customised
services: a special scale of discounts for major customers and the option to upload orders
via an XML interface set up for this purpose. Free samples of paper and other print
substrates such as board for advertising signs are supplied according to Premium Status.
"Paper sample booklets and boxes are useful for resellers who have their own brand, as
they give their customers an idea of what the different materials look like," Holzhauser
explains. The range of Premium benefits is topped off with regular special offers and
customised order processing agreements.
Online printing enables savings and new partnerships
Top quality and fast delivery are the hallmarks of online printing today: it often
takes less than 24 hours from uploading the artwork in the online shop until a print is
produced and shipped. "Products ordered with the "same day printing" option are produced
on the same working day they are ordered. With express delivery the products reach
customers on the next working day. And that applies to all EU countries," Holzhauser
points out. "We are glad to organise shipping for our customers," Holzhauser explains the
feature to have the products delivered to an optional address. The print products are
generally shipped in neutral packaging to the specified address to the satisfaction of
resellers.
"We are one of the market leaders in the European online printing business and the
only large online printer to have evolved from a conventional print shop. We have more
than 30 years of experience in printing and we know what our customers need. We believe
that online printing is a valuable resource both for cost-aware corporate print
communication and for the specialised print shop around the corner," Holzhauser promotes
the Premium Partnership with Onlineprinters, the international provider of online printing
services, which is marked by a personal approach and mutual trust.
Onlineprinters GmbH is one of the largest online print shops in Europe. 30 years of
experience and in-house production according to Process Standard Offset (PSO) guarantee
top quality of the products produced in offset and digital printing technology. More

TRW Brings Advanced Camera Technology To Chinese Automotive Market
SHANGHAI, April 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Stand 5BJ211, Hall 5.2, Auto Shanghai --TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (NYSE: TRW) is announcing from its stand at the Auto Shanghai show that its Global Electronics business unit is launching its next generation video camera sensor - the S-Cam 3 - in China for the first time in early 2016. The technology will launch with a major North American vehicle manufacturer on several vehicles in the Chinese market, and will be produced locally at TRW's electronics manufacturing facility in Anting.
The S-Cam 3 offers six times the processing power of the current generation camera to provide a higher level of sensing performance and several advanced safety functions, including lane keeping assist and automatic emergency braking for pedestrians and other vehicles.
Peter Lake, executive vice president sales and business development for TRW, commented: "We expect that the auto industry in China will continue its rapid technology evolution over the next few years as the market swiftly follows the active safety trend evident in North America and Europe.
"China NCAP is also planning to upgrade its five star requirements to feature active safety and collision prevention beginning in 2018. This will mark a clear turning point in the Chinese industry and safety will become more important than ever before."
The S-Cam 3 is one of the environmental sensors in TRW's driver assist systems (DAS) portfolio which can help to support accident mitigation and prevention. It has the potential to assist drivers in many ways and when combined with braking systems, can enable adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking as a standalone sensor. When integrated with other environmental sensors, chassis controllers and actuators, this technology provides a strong base platform for partially-automated driving functions.
"We anticipate exponential growth in DAS sensors over the next decade - both in China and other regions of the world. TRW has broad experience in this area and is well positioned to support Chinese customers with their growth aspirations for active safety," concluded Lake.
TRW has camera production sites in North America (Marshall, Illinois), Europe (Peterlee, UK) and soon in Anting, China to support its customers in all major regions worldwide.

Broadcom Announces New Trident-II+ Series to Deliver Enhanced 10G Ethernet to Enterprise Data Centers
Most Optimized Switch SoC for Network Virtualization Drives Broad Adoption of Merchant Ethernet Silicon
IRVINE, Calif., April 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
News Highlights:
-- Economical, efficient, feature-rich platform accelerates enterprise
transition to high density 10GbE
-- Delivers 30 percent lower power, larger table sizes and double the
network virtualization performance(1)
-- Drop in, hardware-compatible upgrade for Trident-II -- the most
pervasive switch SoC in the industry(2)
-- 100GbE ports provide optimized connectivity to StrataXGS(®)
Tomahawk(TM) and StrataDNX(TM) families
Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications, today announced the next-generation of its StrataXGS Trident Ethernet switch portfolio, the Trident-II+ Series. Optimized to meet the bandwidth, scalability and efficiency demands of 10GbE virtualized data centers, the highly integrated devices offer 1.28 terabit per second (Tbps) switching performance, 30 percent lower power and double the performance for data center virtualization overlays, such as VXLAN. For more news, visit Broadcom's Newsroom.
In today's enterprise data centers, more than 60 percent of installed servers continue to run Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) network connections(3). The majority of these server ports are expected to transition to 10GbE over the next four years(3). Broadcom's Trident-II+ Series enables networking OEMs to deliver a full portfolio of enterprise-optimized, feature-rich, high-density 10GbE top-of-rack (ToR), blade and aggregation switches to serve this transition.
Built on Broadcom's industry-leading StrataXGS architecture, the 28 nanometer (nm) Trident-II+ Series provides a simple, drop-in power and efficiency improvement for the industry's leading switch silicon, with a comprehensive set of feature and performance upgrades.
"Over the past five years, multiple StrataXGS Trident generations have helped drive the adoption of 10GbE in cloud and mega scale data centers with standard, cost-efficient, merchant silicon based platforms," said Ram Velaga, Broadcom Senior Vice President & General Manager, Network Switch. "Our latest Trident-II+ series offers the economics, performance and virtualization capabilities required to lead a similar transition across enterprise data centers worldwide."
Designed for enterprise data centers of all sizes, the Trident-II+ Series delivers the industry's most comprehensive and field-proven feature set for network virtualization. This includes single-pass VXLAN routing that doubles gateway performance in all network topologies, as well as support for pre-standard GENEVE overlays.
"The collaboration between Broadcom and VMware to define and build robust underlay-overlay technologies allows customers today to deploy fully virtualized networks for greater operational efficiency," said Hatem Naguib, vice president, Networking and Security at VMware. "Mainstream enterprises using our VMware NSX(TM) network virtualization platform on top of a StrataXGS Trident-II+ based physical network get first-class VXLAN support as well as future support for Geneve - enabling efficient, secure and agile data center networks."
Providing an ideal complement to Broadcom's latest StrataXGS Tomahawk and StrataDNX switch SoCs, the Trident II+ Series provides 100GbE connections to the spine layer and between racks, while supporting 10GbE connections to the servers in enterprise and private cloud deployments.
"Enterprise data centers are still in the early stages of a very large upgrade to 10GbE servers and 10GbE top of rack switches," said Seamus Crehan, Crehan Research President. "At the same time, there is growing demand for cost-effective 100GbE spine switches. As a result of these two parallel upgrades, we forecast strong enterprise data center demand for optimized high density 10GbE switches with 100GbE uplinks through the end of the decade."
Power consumption and cooling is also a top priority in modern data centers. The Trident II+ Series reduces power dissipation of existing Trident-II designs throughout the network - by up to 30 percent for each typical ToR switch chipset. For an enterprise data center hosting 300 ToR switches, this can lead to annual power savings of well over 100 megawatt hours (MWh), resulting in greater IT energy efficiency and lower operating expenses.

Cavium's 48 Core Workload Optimized ThunderX(TM)_SC Processors Enable Next Generation Fully Secure Data Centers
ThunderX_SC delivers the most comprehensive solution for Secure Data Centers with integrated hardware acceleration for a range of Layer 3 to Layer 7 Security Protocols
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cavium, Inc., (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of products that enable secure and intelligent processing for enterprise, data center, wired and wireless networking will demonstrate its 48 core, dual socket capable ThunderX_SC family of ARMv8-A based processors with integrated security accelerators. The demonstration will be showcased at Cavium's booth #S2726 during RSA Conference, April 20-24(th) at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
The Cloud is growing exponentially with the increased adoption of PaaS, SaaS, and IaaS resulting in data centers hosting a large number of users and applications with different levels of security requirements on the same underlying infrastructure. Physical resources such as processors, memory, storage and network are physically remote and are shared among all users making security a prime concern. In addition, a number of high profile attacks on Cloud Data Centers and security breaches are driving the need for further securing cloud compute and telco infrastructure.
Many of the existing servers in the market today typically implement complex security algorithms in software which results in poor performance per watt and performance per dollar. The addition of hardware acceleration for widely used security protocols and algorithms significantly improves both performance per watt and performance per dollar metrics.
ThunderX_SC is built to meet the demanding security needs of next generation fully secure cloud and telco infrastructure. It integrates Cavium's industry leading NITROX(®) technology along with other hardware accelerators enabling the ThunderX_SC family of server SoCs to deliver unmatched performance for Layer 3 to Layer 7 security. The ThunderX_SC includes hundreds of accelerator engines for transport/transaction level security such as IPsec, SSL and application level security such as firewalls, IPS/IDS, Anti-virus, Anti-Malware and Deep Packet Inspection. ThunderX_SC supports industry standard cryptography acceleration APIs through OpenSSL and provides kernel cryptography acceleration for protocols including IPSec, which is widely supported by leading Linux and FreeBSD distributions enabling seamless migration.
Secure links are required to connect to cloud data centers for access to applications like webmail, network file sharing and other common business applications. IPSec and SSL VPNs are also required to provide secure remote access to corporate server resources. For secure inter and intra-rack connectivity, secure protocols like IPSec and VPN tunneling are deployed for an added layer of security. In case of service provider networks and cloud, IPsec is also commonly deployed to encrypt user data traffic over backhaul links for the wired and wireless infrastructure. The ThunderX_SC meets the varied security needs of cloud data center and service provider workloads to build optimized and energy efficient front-end web server, mail server, file server, proxy server, application server and centralized C-RAN server with integrated security.
"The rapid adoption of Cloud Infrastructure for Data Center and Telco mandates security at every node," Gopal Hegde, VP/GM Data Center Processor Group. "Cavium is a leader in security. The ThunderX_SC SKU integrates our industry leading security IP into best in class ARMv8-A based ThunderX Data Center processors enabling world class solutions for secure cloud and telco data centers with industry leading performance/$ and performance/watt."
The ThunderX product family includes multiple workload optimized SKUs for next generation Data Center and Networking Applications including the ThunderX_SC SKUs for secure data center workloads. The ThunderX family of processors features high performance custom cores, single and dual socket configurations, high memory bandwidth, large memory capacity, integrated hardware accelerators, integrated feature rich high bandwidth network and storage IO, fully virtualized core and IO, and scalable high bandwidth, low latency Ethernet fabric. The ThunderX processor family is fully compliant with ARMv8-A architecture specifications as well as ARM's SBSA and SBBR standards and is widely supported by industry leading OS, Hypervisor and Software tool and application vendors.
