Albany, NY, February 25, 2013 --(PR.com)-- According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "OLED Displays Market - Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Share, Growth and Forecast, 2012 - 2018," the global OLED displays market is expected to reach USD 25.9 billion by 2018 from USD 4.9 billion in 2012 growing at a CAGR of 31.7% from 2012 to 2018. Mobile phones are the largest end use application and accounted for 71% of the total OLED displays market in 2012. Asia Pacific region is the biggest producer as well as consumer of OLED displays and contributed almost 90% to the OLED displays market in 2012.

Browse the full report with TOC at http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/oled-displays.html

Energy efficiency and eco-friendly attributes associated with OLED displays are primarily driving the demand for them globally. OLED displays are expected to enjoy high market penetration mainly due to the benefit of biodegradability that they offer. The increasing demand and supply gap of electricity worldwide is generating the need for energy efficient products. OLED displays are known to save up to 40% of power for smartphone and TV usage, subject to the brightness and content. In addition, enhanced features including the wider range of colors, increase in the number of times per second a display redraws data, improved 3D adaptability, thinner dimensions, better flexibility and transparency contribute to the market growth of OLED displays.

With the advancement in technology resulting in the mass production of OLED displays, the prices are expected to fall considerably, leading to significant rise in its acceptance among the consumer and application market.

Out of the two types of technologies namely, Passive Matrix OLED (PMOLED) and Active Matrix OLED (AMOLED), the latter is ruling the market and commanded 80% share of the total OLED displays market in 2012. Active matrix OLED displays are largely used in smart phones due to their superior picture quality, response time and contrast. Increasing market share and popularity of active-matrix OLED (AMOLED) is also expected to drive the OLED displays market globally.

Among all the end product segments of OLED displays, mobile phones accounted for a massive 71% share in 2012. OLED TVs distantly followed mobile phones but are expected to experience tremendous growth in the upcoming years. The market for TVs using OLED display technology is expected to surpass the market for mobile phones using OLED display by 2015. This growth will be attributed to the development of large sized OLED displays by manufacturers. Tablet PCs and digital cameras will also contribute substantially to the growth of OLED displays owing to the frequent technological up-gradation taking place in both the product categories. All the other end product segments including white goods, collectively accounted for less than 5% of the OLED displays market revenue in 2012.

The market is largely consolidated with top four manufactures who accounted for more than 80% share of the overall OLED displays market in 2012. Samsung Electronics held the lead position in the global shipment of OLED displays in 2011. WiseChip, Visionox and Pioneer are among the top four OLED display manufacturers.

The research report on the global OLED displays market is specially designed to analyze the demand and usage of OLED displays across the globe. This research study provides in-depth analysis of the on-going developments, trends, factors driving the sale of OLED displays, as well as factors limiting the growth of OLED displays in the global market. The global OLED displays market is estimated and analyzed by segments such as technology type, end use segment, and geographical region.

SEO Consult® Assess Potential of New Facebook Graph Search for Businesses

Cheshire, United Kingdom, February 27, 2013 --(PR.com)-- UK-based internet marketing agency, SEO Consult®, have conducted an evaluation of the beta version of Graph Search, a new Facebook-powered search engine, with the aim of determining how useful this future feature is likely to be for businesses or organisations which have an online presence.

Graph Search, although currently in beta version and therefore not yet available to all Facebook members, is now accessible for a limited number of users who had previously signed up to be on the "waiting list" since Facebook Graph Search was first launched by Mark Zuckerburg on Jan 15th 2013. An SEO Consult® programmer is part of this limited test group and has taken the opportunity to assess the potential of this medium for the use and benefit of businesses who use Facebook as an online marketing tool.

One of the key business related features identified in this evaluation was Graph Search's integration with Bing and how the "likes" and "shares" seemed to play a major part in the order of result rankings of the Bing results shown when using the "web search" option. As is often the case when Facebook introduce new features, the SEO Consult® analysis of Graph Search notes that privacy issues may play a large part in how successful the feature eventually proves to be when launched to Facebook users en masse.

These first impressions of Facebook's Graph Search have been compiled in greater detail by SEO Consult® in a blog post and the search engine optimisation experts plan to follow up this initial assessment with further blogs and reports once more functionality becomes available and Graph Search eventually moves to a widespread release across all Facebook users, including businesses and organisations with their own Facebook Pages.

"We're really excited here at SEO Consult® about the potential that Graph Search has to change the way in which Facebook users search for information, opening up plenty of new opportunities in social media marketing for any company with an online presence," said Matt Bullas, Managing Director of SEO Consult®. "However, as things stand, we do feel that there are some teething problems in this beta release which hopefully will be ironed out before it launches officially if Facebook are serious about this tool changing the way that people find information. We're really looking forward to seeing where Graph Search goes next, and we'll fully investigate how it can benefit users and our clients in the future."

For more information about all of the services that the agency offers, visit the SEO Consult® website http://www.seoconsult.com or call 0845 205 0292.

Ivory Coast’s National Carrier Signs with ADSoftware

$

Paris, France, February 27, 2013 --(PR.com)-- In February 2013 ADSoftware welcomed Air Cote d’Ivoire as the latest customer to join the AIRPACK community. The young airline becomes the 13th African based operator to implement the system. ADSoftware is now the leader in the African market with clients in Algeria, Morocco, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Mali, Botswana, Mauritania and Sudan.

Considered by the French government as an Innovative Company, ADSoftware has created a great business model by investing in client-support and relying on a network of recognized ground-breaking experts with vast experience on similar aviation projects around the world. “Our technical support is a key advantage” affirms Fred Ulrich, CEO of ADSoftware, “With any major software implementation; you are impacting on the operation of the airline and everyone's responsibilities. And if it's not done correctly, you can create costly disruptions for your business. Project management, process and procedure implementation, system parameter configurations, successful file conversions and thorough testing are factors we entirely control and that make our clients’ projects a success.”

ADSoftware is now handling more than 350 aircraft worldwide. In 2012 ADSoftware was selected as one of 30 French National Finalists in the prestigious European Business Awards and came second at the CIC International Export competition.

Air Cote d’Ivoire will utilise four of the six AIRPACK modules with the main focus being on the management of the fleet and the logistics side of their activities in accordance with the RCI (Ivory Coast Aviation Authorities regulations) and EASA airworthiness standards. To begin with, ten technicians are going to be trained by a team of highly skilled professionals who have experience in the IT environment and in a wide range of dedicated and proficiency solutions in CAMO and aircraft asset management. The on-site phase of the implementation project will begin after the team has completed the pre-implementation work. The testing phase will come last and requires the involvement of the users to compare test results to expected outcomes.

Air Cote d’Ivoire is the national airline of the West African country, Ivory Coast. The airline was founded in May 2012 by the government of the Ivory Coast, Air France and the AKFED group; and started commercial operations in November 2012 from its home base in Abidjan. Air Cote d’Ivoire is the direct successor to the now defunct Air Ivoire, which was an AIRPACK early-adopter.

The national carrier started operations with a fleet of two Airbus A-319s and has added an Embraer 170 earlier this month. A319-sized aircraft are becoming common in the relatively compact West and East African regions, as seen in Kenya and Tanzania with Fastjet. The choices of Air Cote d’Ivoire are carefully thought-through as René Décurey, the airline’s CEO, declared “the Company's management team has worked hard and made all the arrangements - including technical, material and in terms of human resources - to set up effective operation of the company."

The new airline is helping Air France to increase its own presence in the region by creating a regional hub feeding its daily Paris service. In fact, Air Côte d’Ivoire has already launched eight non-stop routes from its budding hub in the former Ivorian capital, and has become the largest operator at the airport both in terms of weekly seat capacity and frequencies in just three months operations. The airline has technical, commercial and operational synergies with Air Mali and Air Burkina, two other airlines associated with the AKFED group which are also using AIRPACK.

ADSoftware is a fifteen year old IT company based in France, with offices in Thailand, Brazil and South Africa. Specialising in aviation software, the company has developed a fleet management system and logistics package called “AIRPACK”. This system meets the needs of middle-sized airlines, as well as Maintenance and Repair Organisations (MRO), and Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisations (CAMO).

The strength of ADSoftware is the simplicity of its product. AIRPACK is Microsoft Windows® ready, web-enabled, multilingual. Complete training can be done in five days. The company provides 24/7 online technical support. Visit www.adsoftware.fr for more information.

Air Côte d'Ivoire was setup on 15 May 2012, as a private-public entity on the initiative of the President of the Republic of Ivory Coast, Mr. Alassane Ouattara. The headquarters are in the airport area in Port-Bouët. The Management Committee led by Mr. Abdoulaye Coulibaly is composed of Mr. René Décurey, CEO, Mr. Patrice Kone, Deputy Director General Operations, Mr. Jean-Pierre Chonavel, Chief Financial Officer and Human Resources, and Mr. Loukou Lawrence, Commercial and Marketing Director.

Air Côte d'Ivoire is a member of IATA and AFRANN; its vision is to convey values ​​of hard work, sharing and joy through the travel experience.

Air Côte d'Ivoire currently serves 13 cities in West Africa and Central Africa.

YesUpHost Proudly Announces IPv6 Compatibility for Its Datacenter

North York, Canada, February 27, 2013 --(PR.com)-- YesUpHost, a leading Canadian dedicated hosting service provider based in Toronto, has recently announced that their data center now supports IPv6. YesUpHost is always focused on pushing the envelope in providing great service along with cutting edge technology for all dedicated server users. Adding IPv6 compatibility is the next step to ushering the new age of Internet as IPv4 is steadily becoming out of use.

IPv6, or Internet Protocol version 6, features plenty advantages for the user. As more users are in need of an IP address due to the growing number of personal computers, laptops, mobile phones, tablets, or servers, IPv4 will steadily run out of addresses for them all. The new protocol, IPv6, allows for a much larger number of IP addresses, with its 128 bit long address. With IPsec implemented with IPv6, users are made sure that all data are fully encrypted and secured. IPv6 also uses multicast instead of broadcast, which will allow packet flows to be sent to multiple destinations simultaneously, saving bandwidth and allows packet processing to be more efficient. All of these features will be available in all our data center and servers.

“The gradual transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is inevitable and affects the Internet as a whole,” said YesUpHost CEO Jeff Zeng. “As part of the forefront of dedicated hosting provider, YesUpHost's integration of IPv6 capabilities to our datacenter is an essential step for our users to be ready for the future of the Internet as a whole.”

YesUpHost is a sister company of YesUp Ecommerce Solutions Inc. located in Toronto, Canada. Launched during the YesUp's 10th anniversary in 2011, YesUpHost serves businesses of all sizes. Providing 99.9% up time, minimal latency, and high upload/download speeds to all their clients, a 40,000 square foot green datacenter houses each of their Tier 1 servers.

180 Solutions, LLC Opens East Coast Office

Philadelphia, PA, February 27, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Greenwood, Indiana-based 180 Solutions, LLC, and independent professional services firm specializing in telecommunications cost management, announces its expansion to the east coast with the opening of a new office in Philadelphia, PA.

180 Solutions works with businesses to correct, reduce, and negotiate all telecom expenses, including local, long distance, data/internet, and wireless (cell, pagers, and satellite). Services range from cost analysis and expense reduction to dispute resolution and special projects. More can be learned by visiting their website (oneeightysolutionsdotcom).

“We review our client’s telecom expenses and assist them in maximizing the telecom services,” said Greg Wagner, Project Manager of 180 Solutions. The 180 Solutions team has been able to find as much as $150,000 in billing errors after a review of one month’s worth of customer invoices. “We have over 20 years of experience in the telecom industry, but are not affiliated with any telecom companies, so we are uniquely positioned to provide a high level of unbiased accountability from our team of experts,” he went on to explain.

180 Solutions has many clients in the Midwest, but wants to grow into other areas so they can duplicate the success that they have experienced with holding some of the national telecom providers accountable in other parts of the country. When asked why 180 Solutions chose to open a branch in Philadelphia, Wagner said it was the perfect location to support the entire East Coast, being that so many major markets are easily accessible from the Philly area.

“We see massive opportunities to make a significant impact for clients in this area due to activities with the local service providers, Verizon and Centurylink,” Wagner said. “New programs pop up constantly, and this, along with ongoing changes and hidden plans this opens up huge opportunities to make our clients aware of some of the opportunities that can be achieved with their providers. Most people do not have the tools or time to insure they are getting the best deal. That’s where we come in – we are very familiar with all the known issues and can make a significant impact to a client’s bottom line. There are always opportunities to save money in telecom expenses, but you won’t know about them unless you subscribe to a service like ours who will watch out for your best interests.”

Wagner has additional plans to add more sales and account management team members to handle other markets in the coming year.

Dr. Chandramouli Named IEEE Communications Society Distinguished Lecturer for 2013 and 2014

Hoboken, NJ, February 27, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Dr. Rajarathnam Chandramouli of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology has been named a 2013-2014 Distinguished Lecturer by the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc). Nominated by IEEE Technical Committee on Cognitive Networks, Dr. Chandramouli was chosen by the ComSoc selection committee for his achievements, contributions to IEEE, and the currency and relevance of his research. IEEE chapters around the world will review the Distinguished Lecturers’ papers and host the speakers in their region.

“The topics of Dr. Chandramouli’s lectures are very timely in the context of an ongoing White House initiative to nearly double the availability of radio spectrum for mobile devices and develop a nationwide, interoperable wireless network for public safety so that crisis response teams from different cities and agencies can communicate freely in an emergency,” says Dr. Michael Bruno, Dean of the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science. “Cognitive radio is a technology poised to realize these national goals.”

For his Distinguished Lectureship, Dr. Chandramouli has proposed three topics on cognitive radio networks and one on social networks. In cognitive networks, he will expound upon the fundamental research problems in cognitive networking and the various layer protocols in the network stack, describe how to build a working cognitive radio prototype using commercially available hardware components and open-source software, and scrutinize the intersection of spectrum policies and wireless technology.

Dr. Chandramouli began his work on cognitive radio in response to reports of interoperability problems between radios used by public agencies in emergency situations, most notably as experienced by 9/11 responders. With Dr. K. P. Subbalakshmi, he received a National Institute of Justice grant for research into a system consisting of a low-cost mobile gateway with a router and intelligence in a wireless cloud. The cloud senses an emergency situation and instructs the router to reconfigure its parameters to operate on multiple bands simultaneously. Various agencies, who would previously have been working on their exclusive frequencies, could then connect to the cognitive radio router, which translates and authenticates between frequencies and bands seamlessly, in real time to provide interoperability. In an emergency situation when a service provider is experiencing problems, the "cognitive" technology senses radio channels and networks to find best combination and reconfigures the network in real time so that users can take advantage of the strongest link. According to Dr. Yu-Dong Yao, Director of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, “After Hurricane Sandy, wireless users of certain carriers in our area experienced outages, while other users were fortunate enough to have continued service. If Dr. Chandramouli’s cognitive radio technology were implemented, the public could benefit by continuity of service in emergency situations.” The Stevens collaborators have brought versatility and security to the technology, respectively, and they have started a company named Dynamic Spectrum, LLC to commercialize their innovations.

Dr. Chandramouli will also deliver a lecture on methods for collection and mathematical modeling of data from social networks. He will demonstrate how to use these methods to examine information flow between social movements. For example, the “Arab Spring”, an ongoing wave of demonstrations, protests and wars across the Arab world, began in Tunisia at least partially in response to dissatisfaction with local government and spread from country to country, forcing rulers from power in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Yemen. The movement proliferated largely due to heavy use of social media like Twitter and Facebook to disseminate information and organize protests. Dr. Chandramouli is conducting research on how to model and measure the influence of these social media tools and evaluate the impact from one movement to the next.

Professor Chandramouli is an eminent researcher in the fields of cognitive radio and social networks. He was the Founding Chair of the IEEE COMSOC Technical Committee on Cognitive Networks, Member of the IEEE COMSOC Standards Board and serves on several journal Editoral Boards and international conference organization committees. He has given plenary and keynote talks in several major international conferences. He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER award.

About Electrical and Computer Engineering
Stevens Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is home to a distinguished faculty conducting research on cutting edge hardware and software, supporting new horizons in wireless and multimedia networking, cognitive radio, and signal processing. Funded research on campus and active partnerships between departments and regional institutions provide students with rich opportunities to explore emerging problems in electronic and data technologies.
