Upper Saddle River, NJ, September 03, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Pentek, Inc., today introduced new members to its FlexorSet™ series of preconfigured solutions: The FlexorSet Model 5973-313 for 3U VPX and Model 7070-313 for PCIe platforms consist of an FMC installed on either of two Flexor FMC carriers with Virtex-7 FPGAs. The Flexor Model 3312 FMC features four 250 MHz, 16-bit A/Ds and two 800 MHz, 16-bit D/As, which are supported with matching digital down converters (DDCs) and interpolation filters as intellectual property (IP) installed in the FPGA.

“These FlexorSet combinations include the most commonly required IP functions for data acquisition and signal generation applications,” said Rodger Hosking, vice-president of Pentek. "Because of these pre-configured functions and supporting software, our customers can start capturing and generating signals within minutes after opening the box.”

Each FlexorSet is a multichannel, high-speed data converter sub-system with highly programmable analog I/O signal interface suitable for connection to HF or IF ports of a communications or radar system, and supporting signal bandwidths up to 100 MHz. The built-in data capture and playback features offer an ideal turnkey solution as well as a platform for developing and deploying custom FPGA-processing IP.

Each includes four 250 MHz, 16-bit A/Ds using two TI ADS42LB69s. A single TI DAC5688 provides a digital upconverter and two 800 MHz, 16-bit D/As. Four banks of DDR3 SDRAM provide a generous 4 GB of storage for data processing. In addition to supporting PCIe Gen. 3 as a native interface, the Model 5973-313 and Model 7070-313 include optional copper and optical gigabit serial connections to the Virtex-7 FPGA for custom I/O.

“The FlexorSet concept saves us a tremendous amount of time in setting up our recording systems for customers,” stated Chris Tojeira, director of Pentek’s Talon Recording Solutions. “We can integrate these into our recorders straight out-of-the-box and immediately start to capture signals, saving us a tremendous amount of development time and getting us to deployment much faster.”

Bundling for Seamless Integration
Both FlexorSets come pre-configured with a suite of built-in functions for data capture, synchronization, time tagging and formatting, all tailored and optimized for the FMC and carrier. This IP enables high performance capture and delivery of data to provide an ideal turn-key signal interface for radar, communications or general data acquisition applications, eliminating the integration effort typically left for the user when integrating the FMC and carrier.

Development Tools and Software Support
FlexorSet presents system integrators with an ideal development and deployment platform for custom IP. The Pentek GateFlow® FPGA design kit gives users access to the complete factory installed IP at the source level, allowing them to extend or even replace the built-in functions.

The Pentek GateXpress® PCIe configuration manager supports dynamic FPGA reconfiguration though software commands as part of the runtime application. This provides an efficient way to quickly reload the FPGA, which slashes development time during testing. For deployed environments, GateXpress enables reloading the FPGA without the need to reset the host system, ideal for applications that require dynamic access to multiple processing IP algorithms.

The Pentek ReadyFlow® Board Support Package is available for Windows and Linux operating systems. The ReadyFlow C-callable library contains a complete suite of initialization, control and status functions, as well as a rich set of precompiled, ready-to-run-examples, to accelerate application development.

With a Pentek 8266 SPARK PC development system or a 8267 SPARK 3U VPX development system, work can begin immediately on applications. The SPARK system saves engineers the time and expense associated with building and testing a development system and ensures optimum performance of Pentek boards. All SPARK development systems come with software and hardware installed and ready for immediate operation. In many applications the SPARK development system can become the final deployed application platform.

Form Factors, Pricing and Availability
FlexorSets are designed for air-cooled, conduction-cooled and rugged operating environments. For the latest pricing and availability information, please contact Mario Schiavone by phone at (201) 818-5900 ext.229, or by email at mario@pentek.com. Delivery is 8-10 weeks ARO.

San Francisco, CA, September 06, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Mobile game developer, Blackbeard, has released a new cyberpunk Sci-fi style artwork for Project Dystopia. This action RPG game has gained traction early in Korea after it was announced that the game is being developed by former Call of Duty concept artist, Kevin Baik, and Blade & Soul game designer, Ryan Kang. It has been proven by games like Overwatch that there are many gamers who are always looking for something different, since many RPG’s base their world on, somewhat obvious, the medieval period. The interest for a new kind of mobile RPG is growing amongst gamers. Keeping up with this trend, Project Dystopia seeks to capture those gamers with its interpretation of Sci-fi RPG genre.

According to the report by Newzoo last April, mobile games make up 27% of the $36.9 billion market size. Behind this rapid growth lies games mostly developed by King, Supercell, and Machine Zone, which are mostly strategy or casual games. Blackbeard sees that role-playing games for mobile has not yet blossomed globally, and thinks one of the reason is because no one has found the right way to capture the PvE/PvP experience gamers are used to in PC games. Kevin and Ryan are confident that they’ve found the right recipe for mobile action RPG in Project Dystopia.

The developer has implemented a deep learning algorithm into their gameplay engine to learn how gamers control and how skills are being used. The algorithm will adapt these patterns to make the gameplay more intense and unpredictable. The developer is planning on gradually releasing more information on this AI game engine as the launch get nearer.

“Overwatch has proved that gamers are looking for a new concept. We are developing this game for the global audience. Most of the game systems have been developed, and with optimization process, we are hoping to begin CBT in North America and other selected regions by the end of this year,” said CEO of Blackbeard, Ryan Kang. “Many Call of Duty fans have been asking us to release more artwork. We will begin to release those along with game system pretty soon. The development is 80% complete, and hope to see you all very soon.”

Boston, MA, September 06, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Announcing the formation of WhirrNet, the first global network of Drone sites designed to allow for increased scale and scope for Advertisers in the growing consumer, prosumer, and commercial drone space. WhirrNet is designed to allow for a single point of contact and administration for advertisers while reaching a large but drone specific audience in a cost effective way.

The idea is simple. As the industry continues to mature there are opportunities for larger companies to be able to advertise Drones, Services, Software, and add-on products to a broad audience in the Drone marketplace. Currently individual sites may lack the scale and scope needed for a large rollout (or have marketing staff to be able to manage these relationships). WhirrNet and the companies that make up the network , provide a broad but targeted group of consumers and influences in a comprehensive, easy to administer way.

Advertisers can now contact WhirrNet and be able to reach hundreds of thousands of users monthly in the Drone marketplace. We are starting with Ad placement, with the goal to include Sponsored / Native content in the future and as clients direct us. While many companies currently use services like Google Ad words to find clients, they often find that the results can be expensive and the audience too broad for what they are targeting. WhirrNet will provide a cost effective alternative / Adjunct to those services.

Currently participating websites are:

· DroneFlyers
· DroneLife
· DroneRacingLife
· JobforDrones
· The Drone Girl
· UAVCoach

Alan Perlman of UAVCoach, said that, "Drone sites continue to grow and expand and linking these sites together with WhirrNet allows companies to target a Drone audience in a way that has not been done before."

Sally French who published the site The Drone Girl, said "I'm looking forward to Whirrnet so I don't have to worry about advertising on my site and can instead focus on what I do best -- writing and engaging with the community."

Craig Issod, Founder of Droneflyers.com, says, "Ads and promotion on these top drone site are more valuable to marketers than the typical "lowest bidder per impression, click or action" type of site. The curated content and audience of "drone industry influencers" act together as a multiplier for marketing dollars."

Miriam McNabb of Jobfordrones.com said, "Whirrnet is a great idea, and JobForDrones is really excited to be part of it. This allows all of us in the Whirrnet community to leverage the growth of the industry and build together - it's a win-win for our sites and our advertisers."

About Your Company: WhirrNet is a company that is comprised of a network of Drone sites and service providers designed so that clients can take advantage of the scale and scope of many sites reaching a broad yet targeted audience. If you have a site in the space and would like to learn how to participate, or if you have a product or service offering where you need to get the word out please contact Harry McNabb at harry@spaldingbarker.com.

The publication, from the publisher of well known WiCON | Pharma China and covers all aspects of Chinese pharma/healthcare sector, aims to help HQ and local executives at proactive MNCs feel the dynamic and up-to-date pulse of Chinese healthcare in order to stay in the driver seat of their business in the country.

There is no doubt the country’s ongoing healthcare reform will go on with unchanged ambitions. In reality, with tax and other revenues drying up and under increasing threat of BMI system deficit amid a slowing Chinese economy, local governments are pressured by both the central government and the public to do more with less. Despite its superficial goals, the healthcare reform has so far mostly been hijacked by containment of drug costs and no longer about improving efficiency and fixing structural flaws. Most recently, President XI Jinping took China healthcare under his direct leadership and reset the reform path with new pledges of comprehensive resources and coordinated government support, therefore reenergizing hope to vast future prospects of this sector.

The Chinese economy and its healthcare system are at crossroads and in transition again. This requires both domestic and MNC pharma companies to recalibrate their strategies and business models. A number of new opportunities areas, such as biosimilars and e-commerce as well as positive market conditions from government moves to uphold drug quality and encourage innovation, are beginning to emerge.

Nevertheless, Chinese experts warned recently that the pharmaceutical industry is facing a more complex Chinese marketplace in the near future. There will be lots of uncertainties, unbalances and frailty ahead. The outlook is mixed, while most analysts agree that the market will keep on growing, but most likely at a slower rate, continuing the trend which started two years ago.

Other than growing challenges on the ground in China, there are success stories from all categories of players, whether they are foreign or local, large or small, newcomer or established, private or state-owned. However, to be one of the success stories require a thorough understanding of the sector, ability to face and tackle challenges, flexibility to deal with changes, and skills to maneuver through complex situations.

Now in its 11th edition, China Pharmaceutical Guide 2016 continues to play an instrumental role in helping executives understand, navigate, manage and lead their pharmaceutical businesses in China.

The China Pharmaceutical Guide 2016 (11th Edition) has been completely reorganized into four volumes: 1) Volume I – Overview of the Chinese Pharmaceutical & Healthcare Sectors; 2) Volume II – Chinese Pharmaceutical IP and Regulatory Guide; 3) Volume III – Annual Review, Trends, Opportunities and Strategic Considerations; and 4) Volume IV – Sales & Marketing, Entry Strategies and Case Studies.

The China Pharmaceutical Guide 2016 (11th Edition), which was published in early August 2016, had been thoroughly updated with ample latest data from many reputable sources, abundant analysis by leading industry experts, new regulations and more case studies.

Denver, CO, September 06, 2016 --(PR.com)-- iBeta Quality Assurance, a leading full-service software quality, security, performance, and biometrics testing lab, announced the release of web-focused load/performance testing packages designed to take the high cost and complexity out of the three most common load testing scenarios. iBeta developed the Performance Scan Packages in response to growing customer demand for focused-scope, fixed-cost load testing.

The three Performance Scan Packages are the:

· QuickScan, web page retrieval at increasing load levels to evaluate scalability,
· BasicScan, scalability testing plus user registration and login scripting,
· eCommerceScan, scalability, registration, and login testing plus shopping cart performance under load.

Ideal applications for the Performance Scan Packages include: adding a performance verification step to a larger functionality software quality assurance project; as a stand-alone “health check” in the run-up to high load periods such as holidays; as a confirmation of a data center infrastructure upgrade or cloud platform service level change; and any number of other scenarios where validation of performance, rather than the deep observation, diagnostics, and analysis of iBeta’s full, custom load testing services, is needed.

All Scan Packages include a free proof-of-concept to verify that iBeta’s technology works within the client’s system architecture, and a comprehensive report of user concurrency, maximum pages served per time, and page retrieval times. And, of course, iBeta still offers its industry-leading custom load/performance testing services for the most rigorous and comprehensive testing requirements.

Farmington Hills, MI, September 07, 2016 --(PR.com)-- In direct response to the massive adoption of Google for Education by US schools, Paperscorer today launched its Paperscorer app for Google Classroom. Paperscorer enables teachers to generate print bubble sheets from Google forms and quizzes, administer assessments offline in paper, auto-score assessments with mobile devices and import grades back to their Google accounts.

Paperscorer
http://www.paperscorer.com

“There are still many valid reasons to have students take assessments offline,” says Chris Morgan, the Founder and Managing Partner of Paperscorer. “In some situations, a digital device may be considered a distraction to the assessment. Not all students have access to digital devices. Many teachers are under pressure to use technology, but struggle to change their practices completely. That said, the convenience of auto-grading and the advanced capabilities of grade analysis with technology are something most teachers want. Paperscorer aims to bridge this gap.”

Paperscorer’s technology is designed to work with many third party assessment systems. In addition to its Google Classroom support, the company has already partnered with an educational publisher and plans to roll out support for Instructure Canvas, another major learning management system, later this month.

Las Vegas, NV, September 07, 2016 --(PR.com)-- On August 30, 2016 Dimension, Inc. was granted U.S. Patent 9,432,616, “Systems and Methods for Up-scaling Video,” by Hurd et al. It is the third patent in the series of the upscaling family. Dr. Hurd states, “The new claims go to the techniques used to help mitigate artifacts caused by the base algorithm. Taken as a whole, the techniques covered include some of the most important work in making the algorithm a success.”

Lawrence F. Panik, Dimension’s CEO, said, “The issuance of this patent, along with the two other upscaling patents we have been granted in the past few years, adds value and depth to the development work Dimension has done in the area of upscaling. Upscaling is the driving force of video technology in the 4K TV's that are hitting the market at an affordable price. The technology from all three of these patents will be used in conjunction with a new algorithm that will be introduced shortly in our “Hybrid Fractal Scaler™” This will increase both quality and speed to the existing upscaler and put it ahead of the current versions in the marketplace. This is another exciting use of our innovations which will bring decades-old archived material into the 21st century and will showcase our technology, which can be used with both a cloud platform and in-house, depending on the needs of the user.”

This is Dimension’s 5th patent and is a continuation of our patent entitled "Methods and Systems for Up-scaling a Standard Definition (SD) Video to High Definition (HD) Quality," which issued as U.S. Patent 8,639,053, dated Jan 28, 2014. Our other continuation patent is U.S. Patent 8,983,236 and was issued March 17, 2015.

Dimension's fractal-based technology surpasses the competition in high-quality upscaling comparisons. Whether you are working with internet video, mobile devices, broadcast television, video media, or even digital cinema - Dimension's technology always gives you the highest quality at the lowest bitrate. Standard Definition, High Definition, 4k, 8k, etc. - It does it all.

Moorestown, NJ, September 07, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc.’s (TRHC) Chief Strategy Officer, Brian J. Litten, Esq., is scheduled to present a “Stakeholder Perspective” on Enhanced Medication Therapy Management (EMTM) at the Second Annual Medication Therapy Management & Outcomes Summit (MTM Summit). The conference will be held September 15-16, 2016, at the Pier 5 Hotel in Baltimore, MD.

Since the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit was created by the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, the concept of Medication Therapy Management (MTM) was mandated to optimize medication therapies, improve outcomes and reduce costs. Stakeholders agree, however, traditional MTM has fallen short of its goals, particularly with standalone Prescription Drug Plans (PDPs), which lack appropriate information and incentives to fuel a meaningful impact on medical quality and costs. Recognizing this, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) has designed EMTM to re-align incentives and foster innovation around MTM.

TRHC presented at the First Annual MTM Summit in 2015, just after CMMI announced the CMMI EMTM model. Since then, much more information has been learned and much more work has been undertaken to improve the effectiveness of MTM under the EMTM Model.

TRHC is a leader in MTM innovations. TRHC’s Medication Risk Mitigation Matrix® brings to EMTM the ability to identify those Medicare beneficiaries at the highest risk of an adverse drug event – resulting in more than 100,000 deaths annually - and mitigates that risk through personalized interventions. TRHC will use its Medication Risk Mitigation Matrix and certain other services to perform medication risk stratification and reviews and safety assessments of complex medication regimens, providing an innovative, alternative approach to pharmacotherapy.

At this year's MTM Summit, THRC will focus on the EMTM Model, and the work TRHC has done to support eligible standalone PDPs in participating in the five-year program.

Information about the MTM Summit can be found at: www.CBINET.com/MTM.

About Tabula Rasa HealthCare
Tabula Rasa HealthCare (TRHC) is a leader in providing patient-specific, data-driven technology and solutions that enable healthcare organizations to optimize medication regimens to improve patient outcomes, reduce hospitalizations, lower healthcare costs and manage risk. Medication risk management is TRHC’s lead offering, and its cloud-based software applications provide solutions for a range of payors, providers and other healthcare organizations.

Los Angeles, CA, September 07, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Bright Start released data from their International Student Success Program (ISSP) on Monday, August 22, showing the program's success in dramatically improving a student's GPA and behavior.

The ISSP was first implemented at an established Los Angeles international high school, which will remain anonymous to protect the identity of those involved. The school's staff at this particular high school had grown frustrated with the pattern of behavioral problems that developed among the international student body, 20 percent of whom had a GPA below the required 2.0 needed to maintain I-20 student visas. Frequently absent, these students rarely completed coursework or participated in class. On one occasion, they were banned from a field trip site on account of their unruly behavior.

Bright Start's president, Gary Surdam, implemented the intervention program with these students and after six months, improvements had shown. By the end of the first quarter of the following school year all students added at least 2.0 to their GPA and were well above the I-20 requirement. The largest improvement was seen by a student from China who previously held a 0.0 GPA. Within six months of participating in the program, his GPA rose to 3.2. His is an example of how many of these international students have potential to succeed but lack the guidance and motivation to get there.

"The response from the students were positive and they quickly realized the opportunity and support being provided," said a teacher about the program. "Some students even asked to be in this program to stay on track!"

Staff and administration noted that, following Bright Start's involvement at the school, the learning environment improved and students were more receptive in the classroom. The participating students have since graduated from high school and are furthering their education at colleges and universities across the U.S.

Hope for "Parachute" Kids

The positive results of the ISSP was the focus of an article early this year in the Baltimore based educational magazine Beltway International Advisors. The article addressed the growing number of "Parachute Kids" in the U.S. and how Bright Start's programs were successfully helping these students achieve in American high schools and colleges.

The term "Parachute Kid" refers to a student sent to study in the U.S. while their parents remain abroad. A phenomenon which began in the 1980's, but has seen a rapid increase among mainland Chinese students since 2009.

Bright Start Educational Programs demonstrate that to successfully deal with parachute kids it's important to address the specific challenges that face American communities upon the influx of international students. Last year, the San Gabriel Valley headlined the news after a group of international students were of convicted of criminal charges for their behavior among other students. Unlike typical educational intervention programs, Bright Start's ISSP helps international students succeed in the classroom by teaching them how to succeed in the community as well.

"Gary designed the program to encourage the students in attendance, behavior and academic work. He then administered the program with excellent results," said the principal from the high school previously mentioned. "As a result of this intervention all the seniors graduated and matriculated to the college or university that they had chosen."

Bright Start Educational Programs have been held across the U.S. since 1995, and have recently reoriented to include international minded training. Mr. Surdam has provided professional development courses in schools throughout China 12 times in the past three years. With the goal of helping more students succeed and revolutionizing international education, Bright Start is seeking to expand their programs throughout the U.S. and Asia.
