Zuli Raises $1.65 Million in Seed Funding to Launch the First Smartplugs to Enable a Completely Touch-less Smart Home Experience
Prominent Investors Menlo Ventures, Winklevoss Capital, Logitech and Others Line up to Back Zuli
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Following an oversubscribed Kickstarter campaign smart home company Zuli (http://www.zuli.io/) today announced a $1.65 million seed round of funding to enable the company to bring their first product, the Zuli Smartplug, to market. Participating in the round were prominent venture capitalists and industry veterans including Menlo Ventures, Winklevoss Capital, Logitech, DeNA, XG Ventures, FreedomPop CEO Stephen Stokols, and Hossein Eslambolchi, former CTO of AT&T. Zuli also announced it has established a close development partnership with design firm Astro Studios, designers of the Nike FuelBand and Xbox 360.
"Zuli's technology has the potential to fundamentally change the experience in our homes," said Mark Seigel of Menlo Ventures. "We see them setting a new bar and playing a major role in driving the smart home industry forward."
Inspired by the vision that your home could be aware of your presence and respond accordingly, the Zuli Smartplug leverages the company's proprietary Bluetooth Low Energy mesh network and iBeacon technology to make your home contextual. And, with Zuli's smartphone app users can control, monitor and create custom proximity-based experiences for their lights, devices and appliances based on what room they're in.
With a minimum of three Zuli Smartplugs and your smartphone in your pocket, the system will know whether you're in the bedroom, living room, bathroom or kitchen and respond accordingly - automating your preferences, while ensuring the lowest possible energy consumption. Zuli eliminates the need for mechanical timers, dimmers, motion sensors or a complicated and costly installation by giving you a touch-less way to have your own "Bill Gates smart home."
"Zuli's sole focus is to create a simpler, more enjoyable home experience, by enabling your home to adjust to where you are and what you like," said Zuli CEO and co-founder Taylor Umphreys. "With Zuli Smartplugs, come home to have the lamps brighten to an ambient level, while your heater starts and music fades simply by walking in to the room. Save energy and set your Zuli Smartplugs to shut off appliances when you leave the room - all without ever taking your phone out of your pocket."
In addition to creating a personalized home experience, Zuli also allows users to monitor energy consumption directly from the app, providing insights on electricity-usage patterns by device and allowing consumers to become more conscious and efficient in their usage.
Batch one of Zuli's Smartplugs are sold out. Starting today you can now reserve your spot for batch two at http://www.zuli.io.
About Zuli
Zuli (http://www.zuli.io/) is enabling the personalized smart home with a Bluetooth Low Energy Smartplug that responds and adapts to you, by recognizing your precise location, identity, and specific preferences. Zuli was conceived by co-founders Taylor Umphreys, CEO; Sid Bhargava, CTO; and Ben Chang, VP of Operations, who were inspired to create a simpler, more intelligent smart home experience for their every day lives.

Mobile Viewpoint Introduces WMT Agile 2.0.; the Lightest, Wireless Bonded Video Transmitter
ALKMAAR, The Netherlands, August 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Today, Mobile Viewpoint announced the introduction of their WMT Agile 2.0 HD video
transmission backpack. Following client demands for smaller and lighter systems, the WMT
Agile 2.0 completes the Mobile Viewpoint product fleet of high-end IP encoders. The system
is small enough to fit between camera body and battery pack, or can be carried in a small
backpack. All this while still offering up to 8 4G modems, HD-SDI/ CVBS/HDMI input, a LAN
connection, satellite/KA-sat/BGAN support and 32GB of removable storage for recording
video locally, ready for editing.
Mobile Viewpoint CEO and research leader Michel Bais:
"We wanted to offer our customers the fastest, smartest and smallest IP bonding
encoder on the market. Up to 8 industrial 4G modems are built inside the body of the WMT
Agile 2.0, with external antenna connectors and SDI, analogue CVBS and HDMI inputs. Like
all our other systems we integrate the newest industrial modems which deliver much better
bandwidth compared to USB dongles. We also added an SD-card slot for removable storage."
The new WMT Agile 2.0 fits nicely between the recently introduced bigger WMT Expert
265 backpack and Mobile Viewpoint's WMT Live iOS and Android apps. All of these products,
as well as their rackmount encoders, are tightly integrated with the WMT Videomanager for
remote monitoring and management, and with WMT Content Exchange for delivering and
monetizing live video around the world. For a demo clients can visit the Mobile Viewpoint
IBC booth, number 14F21.
On Mobile Viewpoint
Mobile Viewpoint is a global player, focusing on the development and implementation of
solutions for both the security and broadcast industries. Based on their H.264 and now
H.265 & VP-9 codec implementations, combined with patented technology, allowing for HD
video to be transmitted over bonded IP connections, Mobile Viewpoint has developed the
most versatile product portfolio. Products range from smartphone apps (iPhone & Android),
backpack encoders and rack-mount solutions all working together on the unified WMT
Videomanager and Content Exchange platforms.
Customers include major broadcasters, such as BBC, Al-Arabiya, Sky Sports, NBC Sports,
and over 120 other global customers.

Major Organisations Adopt Latest Social Network Search Engine as Battle for Top IT Talent Intensifies
LONDON, August 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
"Open Web" successfully rolled out in UK by The IT Job Board
Sainsbury's, Tata and Cognizant, are among the first organisations in the UK to adopt
The IT Job Board's Open Web social search engine as businesses both large and small
increasingly turn to social networks to source top tech talent.
Open Web is a new sourcing tool that tracks publicly available social data from the
world's leading 130 social sites. The data Open Web gathers is then enhanced with CV
sourced information from The IT Job Board's proprietary CV database.
How Open Web Works
In practice, Open Web works by taking publicly available data from over 130 leading
social sites and mapping it alongside a range of criteria - skills, education, past
employers, peer ranking and professional engagement. Recruiters can then refine their
search by using multiple filters, including name, location, company, - and social
interaction. And as Open Web also provides candidates' publicly available contact details,
recruiters can then quickly and easily reach out to those with the most relevant profiles.
Alex Farrell, Managing Director of The IT Job Board, commented:
"Social search is very much 'made for' the IT industry as, in social media terms, tech
professionals are highly active and often participate in multiple forums - not just one or
two.
"And because Open Web uniquely aggregates and ranks data from a myriad of social
sources, it provides organisations with a depth of insight into potential candidates'
social and professional DNA.
"From our perspective, Open Web is helping humanise the online recruitment process by
allowing recruiters to engage far more meaningfully with the full spectrum of candidates
-active, actionable and passive. Open Web is taking the current ad hoc approach to social
search to the next level."
Tom Harper, talent acquisition lead at Tata Consultancy Services, added:
"For the first time, we are able to see candidates in the round from the get-go -
rather than through the single lens of a CV or search on a single social site. This
broader view is giving us a far better insight into the capabilities, passions, interests
and personalities of people before we even engage with them. It's a game-changer."
Currently over 450 organisations have incorporated Open Web into their ongoing
recruitment activity in the US, as well as leading organisations in the UK including
Sainsbury's, Cognizant and Tata. For further information on Open Web, go to http://www.theitjobboard.co.uk/recruiters/Open-Web/en.

the UK, Germany, Belgium and Netherlands, as well as a media service that targets IT
decision makers and professionals globally. For further information, please go to http://www.theitjobboard.co.uk
As Part of AT&T's Project VIP Investment, Customers to Benefit From Nation's Most Reliable 4G LTE Network on the Latest Devices
LYNCHBURG, Va., Aug. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* has turned on the nation's most reliable 4G LTE network** in Lynchburg, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides, including:
-- Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet
speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G***. Customers can stream, download,
upload and game faster than ever before.
-- Reliability. AT&T has the nation's most reliable 4G LTE network.
-- Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including
new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets.
-- Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency than other
wireless technologies, which means faster processing time to move data
through a network, such as initiating a webpage or file download. Lower
latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming, two-way video
calling and telemedicine.
-- More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource,
and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating
more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better
network experience.
"We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Lynchburg responds to what customers want from their mobile experience -- more, faster, reliably, on the best devices," said J. Michael Schweder, President of AT&T Mid-Atlantic.
AT&T's 4G Network
This expansion is part of AT&T's Project Velocity IP (VIP), a three-year investment plan announced in Fall 2012 to expand and enhance its IP broadband networks. Through this investment, AT&T is supporting its customers' growing desire for high-speed Internet access and new mobile, app and cloud-based services. As part of Project VIP, AT&T plans to add macro cell sites nationwide by year-end 2015, as well as deploy small cells and add Distributed Antenna Systems to increase the density of its wireless network.
AT&T's innovation and investment have resulted in a nationwide 4G network with ultra-fast speeds and a consistent user experience. AT&T's focus to deliver the best possible mobile Internet experience goes beyond 4G to embrace additional connection technologies. AT&T operates more than 34,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers, and provides access to more than 1 million globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans. ****
AT&T also is a leading developer of Distributed Antenna Systems, which utilize multiple small antennas to maximize coverage and speed within stadiums, convention centers, office buildings, hotels and other areas where traditional coverage methods are challenging.
Over the past six years (2008 to 2013), AT&T invested more than $140 billion into its wireless and wireline networks, when you combine capital investment and acquisitions of spectrum and wireless operations. Since 2008, AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any other public company. In a September 2013 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1 on its list of U.S. "Investment Heroes."
*AT&T products and services are provided or offered by subsidiaries and affiliates of AT&T Inc. under the AT&T brand and not by AT&T Inc.
** Reliability claim based on third party data regarding nationwide carriers' 4G LTE. LTE is a trademark of ETSI.

Singapore Consolidates Position as Regional Internet IP Hub
SINGAPORE, August 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
NetNames launches online brand protection services for Asia region
NetNames [http://www.netnames.com ], the global leader in online brand protection and
domain name management, today announces the launch of its full suite of brand protection
and corporate domain name management services for the Asia region. NetNames is launching
its services at a reception hosted by British Deputy High Commissioner, Judith Slater, at
Eden Hall in Singapore on September 2nd.
NetNames entered the Singapore market in May 2014 following the merger with corporate
domain name management company Adicio. South East Asian corporations now have access to
NetNames' industry-leading online brand protection services, already used by many global
brands to combat online counterfeiters and cyber criminals.
With the internet now offering over 1,000 new domain name suffixes, the risk of
cybersquatters operating phishing or pirate websites has multiplied dramatically. Even
before the launch of the new generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs), online threats were on the
rise. For instance, in 2012, Google reported a 524% increase in requests to remove links
to websites hosting pirated content. The introduction of new web address endings also
comes at a time when businesses are becoming more aware of the threats posed by cyber
criminals and paying more attention to the need to safeguard their Intellectual Property.
In light of these developments, the Singapore Copyright Act was amended in July 2014
to make it easier for complainants to seek an injunction disabling access to infringing
content online, consolidating the city-state's position as a regional hub for registering
trademarks and Intellectual Property.
Gary McIlraith, CEO of NetNames Group, comments: "In recent years, the Asia region has
grown into a global economic powerhouse, home to an ever-increasing number of large
corporations with an international reach. As internet usage in the region grows, these
brands will need to ensure they are protecting their reputation, revenues and customers
from online counterfeiters and cybersquatters. By launching our full range of brand
protection services in Singapore, we hope to contribute to the city's role as an Internet
IP hub in the region, whilst helping South East Asian brands be present, protected and
prosperous online."
Judith Slater, Regional Director of UK Trade & Investment and Deputy British High
Commissioner to Singapore, adds: "We are delighted by the launch of NetNames Group's brand
protection and corporate domain name management services for the Asia region here in
Singapore.
"Singapore and the UK have similar goals in promoting their information economy. In
June 2013, the UK PM David Cameron, with then Science Minister David Willetts, launched
the Information Economy Strategy as part of the UK's Industrial Strategy that set out an
effective road-map to establish the UK's lead in information technology and
infrastructure. The strategy helps identify steps for the British government and the
private sector to work together on this goal.
"A Frost and Sullivan study states that total revenues from business to consumer
e-commerce in six Southeast Asian countries, including Singapore, reached SGD$5.6 billion
in 2013. It is expected to grow at 37.6 percent annually to reach SGD$27.2 billion by
2018. This is very impressive growth and I look forward to seeing NetNames Group help an
increasing number of companies protect their brands online as they take advantage of this
expanding industry."
About NetNames
NetNames [http://www.netnames.com ] is the world's largest corporate brand protection
specialists. Through its industry leading brand protection, domain name management, online
security, anti-piracy and acquisitions services, the company is responsible for keeping
corporate brands one step ahead of online threats across the globe. The company is

Great for kids, Minigolf Kingdom has garden gnomes playing mini golf while Cannons and
Soldiers calls on players to attack the enemy castle with cannon fire, without hurting the
hostages inside.
Nikolai Veselov, from MyRealGames.com said, "Our new mobile arcade games are perfect
for August as they are portable, meaning players won't miss out on the last few weeks of
summer, while also being great fun. Other titles in many of our most popular genres are
also not to be missed."

3D Printing Startup Becoming 3D, Launched by Grant Sadowski, Hewlett Packard Elite Partner
Industry veteran is applying his years of traditional print expertise to the emerging 3D printing market.
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Becoming3D announced its official launch as a 3D printing solutions provider. Becoming3D offers a full spectrum of 3D printing design-to-manufacturing solutions, and the startup aims to bring cost-effective 3D printing services to commercial businesses and home users.
Becoming3D's printing solutions are faster and more efficient than traditional 3D printing models, and their unique approach to additive manufacturing reduces waste, costs, and speeds the production cycle.
Unlike traditional 3D printing manufacturers, Becoming3D's comprehensive approach includes a lease program, training, supplies and servicing for businesses - critical elements that are normally not included in the purchase of high-end commercial grade 3D printers.
While 3D printing has been in use for more than 20 years, the technology has been cost-prohibitive for most home users and businesses, and has been limited to materials only suitable for prototyping. But now that's changing. Today 3D printers can print with a much wider range of materials, including plastics, metals, and ceramics. And these materials have more complex properties for manufacturing, such as greater tensile strength and higher heat tolerances.
"3D printing used to be out of reach for most businesses - but costs are coming down and materials technology has improved greatly. Now we're helping our customers speed the product development cycle building prototypes and directly manufacturing finished components through our 3D printing solutions and consulting services," said Becoming 3D co-founder Grant Sadowski.
The 3D printing industry is slated for exponential growth. According to global consulting firm Canalys, the 3D printing market will grow from $2.5B in 2013 to $16.2B by 2018. Sadowski is ready to help propel this growth.
"We're showing more and more businesses ways to leverage 3D printing to save money, time, and resources. Businesses like jewelers, medical device companies, and dentists to name a few," continued Sadowski. Becoming 3D's cost-effective solutions help reduce material wastes, and allows small businesses to bring costly and time consuming manufacturing in-house.
Becoming 3D's offerings include:
1. Online retail sales of 3D printers for home users, hobbyists, and small
businesses. Prices start around $2,000.
2. Commercial 3D printing solutions that leverage the managed print services
model Sadowski perfected in the 2D print space.
3. Enterprise 3D printing consulting services for companies looking for
expertise and education on 3D printing solutions.
Becoming 3D was co-founded by Grant Sadowski and longtime colleague Matt Craine. Sadowski has an extensive history of success in the world of traditional print management, and is also the co-founder of Ultra Laser Imaging and Mosaic Business Solutions, named one of the fastest growing companies in Florida for the past 3 years. Craine has more than 20 years of experience in the startup and technology world, developing innovative applications for Fortune 500 companies.
About Becoming 3D
Based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Becoming 3D is a leading provider of 3D printing design-to-manufacturing solutions including 3D printers, print materials and supplies for both professionals and consumers. Their products and services replace and complement traditional operational methods and reduce the time and cost of designing new products by printing real pieces directly from digital input. Becoming 3D was co-founded in 2014 by printing industry veteran Grant Sadowski, a Hewlett Packard Managed Print Advanced Specialist.
FICO Platform for Enterprise Fraud Management Gives Businesses of Any Size a Low-Cost Way to Stop More Fraud
SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE:FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced the availability of the FICO(®) Falcon(®) Platform for enterprise fraud management. The FICO Falcon Platform gives institutions and their customers real-time protection from fraud across multiple payment channels, products and services.
The FICO Falcon Platform puts the company's industry-leading FICO(®) Falcon(®) Fraud Manager technology at the heart of a modular, flexible approach to enterprise fraud protection. Smaller institutions can begin with a rules-based system for detecting transaction fraud in real time and managing suspected fraud cases. Because of the platform's support for such open source technologies as Linux, start-up infrastructure costs can be as little as 1/10(th) what it has traditionally taken to deploy FICO Falcon Fraud Manager.
"With the Falcon Platform, we believe we are offering businesses the most powerful rules-based solution for fraud detection, as well as the easiest way to move to full analytic protection across multiple transactional channels," said TJ Horan, vice president of fraud solutions for FICO. "The flexible approach makes the platform more affordable for smaller credit grantors, but it gives our customers an easy way to expand protection as their needs evolve."
For larger credit grantors and current Falcon Fraud Manager clients, the FICO Falcon Platform can substantially reduce the cost of expanding portfolios or extending protection to new products or channels. A credit grantor can systematically add connected levels of protection by deploying fraud analytic modules specifically developed to detect fraud in targeted channels, including checking / current accounts, e-payments, mobile payments and payment cards. FICO estimates the platform's flexible architecture could reduce clients' fraud protection costs by as much as 75 percent.
"Most enterprises today rely on a collection of discrete point systems to protect their bottom line and their customers from fraud," said Horan. "This is not only a costly approach, it leaves some channels and products less protected than others. At the same time, the 'monolithic,' one-size-fits-all enterprise fraud system has been rejected by the market. Banks and other credit grantors want to adopt a scalable, customer-centric approach to fraud detection that works across all portfolios within the enterprise. We've taken the market's most advanced anti-fraud system and adapted it to this challenge."
The platform's fraud detection and case management capabilities can be extended with add-on software modules that further reduce the impact of fraud on customers. Many banks are now using FICO software to automatically contact customers on their mobile phone or preferred devices to resolve suspicious transactions instantly. FICO also offers solutions for stopping first-party and third-party application fraud as well as bust-out fraud, using social link analysis. Data management extensions expand the system's ability to accept and monitor data from outside systems in real time.
FICO recently integrated technology from 41(st) Parameter to improve the FICO Falcon Platform's ability to detect card-not-present fraud, and allow genuine transactions to go through without being blocked.

LONDON, August 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Gamers longing for the nostalgic thrill of childhood can now play mobile arcade games
[http://m.myrealgames.com/genres/arcade-games ] on the go thanks to this month's influx of
MyRealGames.com new releases. The new games drop also includes a host of free hidden
object games [http://www.myrealgames.com/genres/free-hidden-object-games/) ]. The new
additions round out one of the hottest summers on record for the popular gaming site, with
big name new titles and long awaited releases hitting the site in their dozens since the

The two standout hidden object titles, Magic Academy and Vampireville promise to fill
many a dull August hour. In Magic Academy, players must enroll in magic school and master
the art of seeing invisible items, looking into the future and removing protective spells
to find a disappeared sibling. Set over 21 stages, gamers must face ghosts, find artifacts
and use magic spells to unveil the truth about the Magic Academy.
Players choosing to try the full version PC downloadable Vampireville will also have
to discover the truth after a series of mysterious disappearances in the spooky Malgray
Castle. With more than 20 gripping chapters and plenty of enigmatic puzzles to solve,
Vampireville is expected to become one of the most popular of hidden object titles - a
genre that tops the MyRealGames.com visitor lists month after month.
Also new to the site this month are the mobile arcade games, Minigolf Kingdom and
Cannons and Soldiers. Both games can be enjoyed on mobile devices including:
- iPads and other tablets
- iPhones
- Android smartphones
- Games run off of HTML5 and WebGL which means they will run straight from the
browser on a phone or tablet
Great for kids, Minigolf Kingdom has garden gnomes playing mini golf while Cannons and
Soldiers calls on players to attack the enemy castle with cannon fire, without hurting the
hostages inside.
Nikolai Veselov, from MyRealGames.com said, "Our new mobile arcade games are perfect
for August as they are portable, meaning players won't miss out on the last few weeks of
summer, while also being great fun. Other titles in many of our most popular genres are
also not to be missed."

Epson Introduces PowerLite 1263W Commercial Portable Business Projector
Wireless, Widescreen HD Projector Delivers Convenient Connectivity for Small- to Medium-Sized Businesses
LONG BEACH, Calif., Aug. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Epson, the number-one selling projector brand worldwide(1), today announced the PowerLite(®) 1263W wireless HD projector sold exclusively through distribution, value-added resellers and direct market reseller channels. Delivering sharp, widescreen images and convenient wireless connectivity, the PowerLite 1263W is ideal for displaying content from a laptop, smartphone or tablet onto a big screen.
"The PowerLite 1263W offers a wide range of features to provide small- to medium-sized businesses with advanced projector and connectivity technology at an affordable price," said Eric Uaje, associate product manager, Projectors, Epson America, Inc. "Leveraging wireless connectivity and Epson's new quick connect on-screen QR code feature, this projector makes it even easier to travel and present without a laptop."
The PowerLite 1263W delivers 3,000 lumens of color brightness and 3,000 lumens white brightness(2) and widescreen HD performance with WXGA resolution. In addition, the projector offers wireless connectivity, and an HDMI port, which also supports Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL), to display content from MHL-enabled smartphones and tablets.
More about the PowerLite 1263W
The PowerLite 1263W offers several easy-to-use and versatile features ideal for small- to medium-sized businesses, including:
-- 3LCD Technology: Features the latest 3-chip 3LCD technology to deliver
amazing, true-to-life color and detail for powerful presentations; Epson
projectors offer three times brighter colors than leading competitive
projectors(3). This technology also provides an energy-efficient light
engine which uses available lamp light to create stunning images, and in
contrast to 1-chip DLP technology, 3LCD requires, on average, 25 percent
less electricity per lumen of brightness(4).
-- Wireless Connectivity: Connect directly to a laptop with the included
wireless LAN module
-- Epson iProjection((TM)): Present content from smartphones or tablets,
wirelessly, with the free Epson iProjection(TM) app(5)
-- QR Code Connection: Epson's new quick connect on-screen QR code provides
access to content from smartphones and tablets; simply turn the
projector on, use Epson iProjection to scan the on-screen QR code and be
instantly connected to share content
-- Advanced Connectivity: HDMI provides high-quality audio and video
content with one cable; features two HDMI ports, one with MHL for
connecting multiple digital devices, including mobile phones, tablets
and other portable devices, for enriched high definition viewing
capabilities
-- Quick Control: Automatic vertical keystone correction and a horizontal
Easy-Slide control bar for enhanced image correction; Direct Power On
and Off delivers wall switch power control, Instant Off(®) quickly
powers down the projector with no cool down time, and the A/V Mute Slide
pauses the presentation without turning the projector off
Color Brightness Specification and Projector Performance
The color brightness specification (measuring red, green and blue) published by the Society of Information Display (SID) allows consumers to compare projector color performance without conducting a side-by-side shootout. With today's high definition content, presenters can display content with higher quality in brighter environments. For a truly impressive image, projectors need to offer both high color brightness and high white brightness. High color brightness is important for larger screen sizes and provides flexibility for a variety of screen materials. Without sufficient color brightness, images may be muddy, soft and lose detail, even in a dark room. For more information, visit http://www.colorlightoutput.com.
Availability and Support
The Epson PowerLite 1263W ($649*) is available through national resellers, mail order, distribution, and through the Epson ImageWay(SM) Partner Program. Epson's PowerLite projectors come with a two-year limited warranty (90-day limited lamp warranty) that includes two elite technical support services - Epson PrivateLine(®) phone support with direct access to an expedited support telephone line and a Road Service projector replacement program that includes projector exchange in one business day with paid shipping.

BEIJING, Aug. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- RS Components <http://china.rs-online.com/web> (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents plc <http://www.electrocomponents.com/> (LSE:ECM), the world's leading high service distributor of electronics and maintenance products, has announced availability of two new high-reliability clamp meter products that are designed for making safe and non-intrusive current measurements in a range of electrical, panel and equipment maintenance applications.
Clamp meters are ideal tools for making spot checks and verifying system conditions before deploying more specialised tools and incurring additional costs. The compact and ergonomically designed ISO-TECH ILCM03A and ICM30R clamp meters come at prices that are approximately 30% cheaper than leading brands and are must-have devices for any electrician's or maintenance professional's toolbox.
The ILCM03A <http://china.rs-online.com/web/p/clampmeters/7794692/> is primarily geared toward current leakage detection, while a key feature of the ICM30R is its ability to make true-RMS AC current readings. Both devices also offer reliable and accurate voltage and resistance measurements as well as continuity testing for circuit breaks.
The ILCM03A clamp meter is a highly portable device with compact dimensions of only 210 x 62 x 35.6mm. It also has a single large rotary function-selection switch enabling one-handed measurement and a large backlight 3.75-digit LCD with an analogue bar graph, making it a tool that is easy to use and easy to read in any environment. The meter also offers a large-jaw design that enables non-intrusive current measurement on cables and wires that are up to 30mm in diameter.
The ICM30R <http://china.rs-online.com/web/p/product/7870499/> clamp meter integrates dual Hall sensors to provide reliable and accurate current measurements, and provides the true-RMS AC current value of both pure and distorted waveforms. The meter is also a highly portable and easy-to-use and -read device that features a special hand-guard design, which provides additional user protection that prevents direct contact with electrical conductors.
Manufactured and tested to international standards, both ISO-TECH clamp meters are rated to CAT II 600V and CAT III 300V, according to IEC 61010. The meters come with a three-year warranty and are available to purchase direct from RS stock globally. For more information please visitwww.iso-techonline.com <http://www.iso-techonline.com/>.
