SAN FRANCISCO – Wednesday, October 26th 2011 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)– Atlassian OnDemand is a new software as a service (SaaS) offer that allows software development and project teams to use Atlassian’s award-winning products, including Atlassian JIRA and Confluence, for as low as $10/month for 10-users. The new multi-tenant, cloud-based service gives customers access to a set of enterprise-grade development and collaboration products at unprecedented prices that can be configured in minutes.

In addition to Atlassian products, OnDemand customers will have a choice of integrating with third-party applications to add additional power, features, and versatility to their project environments. The new OnDemand service will succeed Atlassian Hosted which was launched in 2006.

“The new Atlassian OnDemand gives innovators everywhere incredibly easy access to the services that will help them build and collaborate on their projects,” said Mike Cannon-Brookes, Atlassian CEO and Co-founder. “Atlassian OnDemand is priced to give everyone, regardless of the size of their organization, access to our best products as well as leading third-party applications from our OnDemand integration partners.”

The Atlassian applications are fully-integrated – as new products are added, new tabs appear along the top of a user’s screen, links can be shared between apps, there is shared navigation, and users are shared between the systems.

Atlassian OnDemand includes JIRA, Confluence, GreenHopper, Team Calendars, Bonfire, FishEye, Crucible and Bamboo. Atlassian OnDemand also includes free maintenance and upgrades of all its applications. In addition, users can seamlessly add third-party SaaS products such as Google Apps, Zendesk, Salesforce.com, uTest and GetSatisfaction.

Injecting customers into the product development cycle not only accelerates development and issue resolution, but ensures that your team is building exactly what your buyers need.”

The feature sets are identical, and all customers, regardless of what they paid, qualify for Atlassian’s “Legendary Service” promise.

MCLEAN, Va. – Wednesday, October 19th 2011 [ME NewsWire]

Hilton HHonors, the loyalty program for Hilton Worldwide’s 10 distinct hotel brands, has unveiled three new ways for its members to redeem points for free reward stays at most of the 3,750 hotels worldwide. No other hotel loyalty program has more reward options for members to use their points to book a room. In addition to receiving the same exclusive program benefits of “Points & Miles” and “No Blackout Dates,” the new reward products include:

Points & Money Rewards: Members can combine points with money to book a standard room. This is a great option for HHonors members who have not yet accumulated enough points for a free stay or prefer to save points for future free stays.
Premium Room Rewards:For the first time, HHonors members can use their points to book premium rooms and suites at hotels worldwide, with no blackout dates. This new reward option opens up more than 200,000 additional rooms and suites that were previously unavailable for point redemption. Members who select this reward option have more available rooms to choose from and can now stay in the portfolio’s most spacious and luxurious rooms and suites.
Room Upgrade Rewards:HHonors points can also now be used to upgrade on an existing reservation to a premium room or suite at hotels worldwide, with no blackout dates.

“We pride ourselves on having a deep knowledge of our guests’ needs, which helps us continue to improve the products and services we offer them,” said Jeff Diskin, senior vice president, global customer marketing, Hilton Worldwide. “These new reward offerings were implemented based on guest feedback for even more flexibility and now provide members with more choices to redeem their points for any available room, anywhere, anytime – ultimately giving them new ways to share experiences with their friends and families.”

In addition to the three new reward products, Hilton HHonors members can continue to redeem their points to enjoy free standard rooms at the more than 3,750 hotels worldwide with no blackout dates. There have been no changes to the Standard Room Rewards product, allowing members to continue to redeem standard rooms for as few as 7,500 points per night at category one hotels and up to 80,000 points per night at select Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts.

The three new HHonors room rewards are currently available at most of the 3,750 properties in the Hilton Worldwide portfolio of brands. The availability and number of points required to redeem the new reward options varies by room, hotel and booking date. Reservations can be made by clicking Reward Stays at HHonors.com, which now features enhanced functionality, or by calling 1-800-HHONORS (1-800-446-6677) in the U.S. or 1-800-HHILTONS (1-800-445-8667) outside the U.S. Visit the HHonors Terms and Conditionspage for full details.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Tuesday, October 18th 2011 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)– Christie Medical Holdings, Inc. today announced the market launch of the company’s newest product, VeinViewer® Flex. With the addition of this fifth-generation VeinViewer, following the recent launch of VeinViewer VisionXTND, Christie now provides a full portfolio of three product tiers that addresses the needs of every major health care market segment.

Flex, a hand-held version of VeinViewer, is designed to provide non-acute markets with the exclusive clinical capabilities of VeinViewer in a form that meets the stringent demands for durability and portability. Flex is designed to the same TrueView vein-width accuracy specifications of its predecessor, VeinViewer Vision, and is currently under testing. Additionally, Flex will feature a new software option, MaxBright, which boosts existing VeinViewer brightness by another 40 percent, making Flex one of the brightest near-infrared vein illuminators on the market. Flex is designed to be real-world durable meeting IEC/UL 60601-1 drop test standards. Christie expects to begin selling Flex later this fall.

“VeinViewer Flex greatly expands our versatility in providing a VeinViewer product solution for every customer need while extending our reach into non-acute markets, such as physician offices, blood and plasma, EMS and home health care, yet still maintaining application for NICU and ER units in the traditional hospital setting,” said Chris Schnee, general manager and vice president of sales and marketing at Christie. “With the addition of Flex, Christie’s VeinViewer portfolio now offers three product configurations that are uniquely capable of providing imaging solutions for the entire vascular access procedure far beyond the needle stick.”

The VeinViewer technology was first introduced in 2006. VeinViewer Vision, Christie’s premier vein illumination product for hospital-wide use, comes complete with the full ASSESS imaging suite, and its mobile cart allows the fastest set-up to achieve Eyes On Patient™ hands-free technique. VeinViewer VisionXTND, with its semi-permanent mount, is optimal for single-seat procedures where the patient comes to the clinician. The Flex adds even more versatility to the product line with its mobile capabilities and application within specialty medical market segments.

The VeinViewer portfolio is capable of TrueView and digital real-time imaging via Active Vascular Imaging Navigation (AVIN). These key features positively impact the venipuncture pre-, during and post-access by helping locate valves and bifurcations, as well as a hematoma for possible avoidance of an infiltration or extravasation.

VeinViewer uses harmless near-infrared light and patented technologies to project a real-time digital image of subcutaneous vasculature and blood patterns directly onto the surface of the skin. Although designed for assistance in IV starts and blood draws, VeinViewer also is proven to be beneficial in the process of spider and varicose vein treatment.

EMC’s Affordable HD Connect Satellite Service Offers the Highest Quality HD Video Communications Anywhere, Any Time –at a Fraction of the Price of a Typical Dedicated Satellite Data Circuit

(BUSINESS WIRE)– Emerging Markets Communications(EMC), a premier provider of hybrid global satellite and terrestrial communications, today announced the general availability of its affordable new high quality HD Connect On Demand satellite technology, which offers significant breakthroughs for the telepresence, videoconferencing and visual collaboration industry.

The first high definition (HD) videoconferencing over satellite service available in an affordable, on demand, ‘pay as you go’ manner, HD Connect is available now for deployment to Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia – and soon to China as well as Central and South America. HD Connect allows governments, multinational corporations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in hard to reach areas of the world to use HD videoconferencing, telepresence and visual collaboration anywhere, anytime (on land, sea or in the air), at a fraction of the price of a typical dedicated satellite data circuit. HD Connect also delivers unprecedented quality, with low jitter, low packet loss and predictable and steady latency for excellent, unparalleled videoconferencing experiences.

Driving HD Connect is the industry’s first single carrier per channel (SCPC) – a non-shared, on/off model specifically designed for videoconferencing. With several patents pending around the methodology and the technology, EMC is the only company offering the service today.

HD Connect, which works with any videoconferencing system, utilizes EMC’s high quality MPLS satellite network, which has been providing data services to governments and NGOs in Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia for over eight years.

EMC’s new HD Connect service offers:

Secure, mission-critical, end-to-end high quality video communications deployable anywhere on the planet
Affordability: A revolutionary ‘pay as you go’ service where users only pay for the bandwidth that is used, packaged with bundled hours of monthly usage (like a pre-paid cell phone)
High quality: Low jitter, low packet loss with predictable and steady latency for excellent videoconferencing experiences
Ease of use: Delivered via a browser in bandwidth multiples of 1mb & 5mb, the user simply goes to a portal, turns on the system and operates the videoconferencing system of his choice for as long as he likes
Speed of service: Circuit turn-on takes less than 30 seconds
A single vendor: Providing customers the ability to interact with just one vendor to reach over 140 countries eliminates the need to depend on the local infrastructure for power and communications outside the region. Since EMC owns the entire network, EMC is a single solution provider for all satellite-served areas.

“Until now, HD videoconferencing in the most remote regions of the world has been costly, unreliable and of poor quality,” said Thomas Luketich, VP of Videoconferencing and Application Services for EMC. “Our easy to use HD Connect service enables organizations around the globe to conduct affordable, on demand, lifelike face-to-face communications and collaboration with colleagues, partners, suppliers and customers in regions that have traditionally been hard-to-reach.”

“Historically, the use of satellite connections to host videoconferencing sessions has involved significant cost, performance and availability compromises,” said Ira M. Weinstein, Senior Analyst and Partner at Wainhouse Research. “With its ad-hoc availability, consistent quality of service and usage-based pricing model, EMC’s HD Connect has changed the rules of satellite-based videoconferencing.”

In related, news, EMC also announced that it will be interconnecting with Masergy, a global provider of secure, virtualized network services.

(BUSINESS WIRE)– Jupiter Systems, the industry leader in display wall technology, introduced its new advanced Warp/Blend Node™ to complement Jupiter’s award-winning PixelNet® Distributed Display Wall System.

The Warp/Blend Node allows the use of front or rear projector arrays to create seamless display walls by overlapping the display areas of adjacent projectors. While PixelNet provides the overlapping pixels required at each internal edge, the Warp/Blend Node provides both geometry correction and color blending to make sure the overlapped pixels match up precisely and have the correct color and brightness. The Warp/Blend Node also allows for perfect projection onto curved and irregularly shaped surfaces.

“The Warp/Blend Node is our answer to customers the world over who asked for the benefits of the PixelNet Distributed Display Wall System in front and rear projection walls,” said Brady O. Bruce, Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Alliances at Jupiter Systems. “Now, our customers can build PixelNet based seamless display walls with up to 50 projectors, even on non-planar surfaces, and get the pixel perfect performance for which Jupiter is known.”

The Warp/Blend Node offers the same space-saving size and shape as other PixelNet nodes and extends the functionality, power, and ease of use for which PixelNet has become well known. Its modular nature is the perfect fit for PixelNet installations, allowing users to share the warp and blend features across many projectors in an easily scalable way. The new node opens PixelNet to a variety of new applications including Simulation and Training, command-and-control, boardroom, and digital signage installations.

PixelNet supports multiple display walls in a PixelNet Domain. Both seamless (overlapped) and traditional (edge-butted) display walls can be supported in the same PixelNet domain. For example, a seamless 2 x 1 boardroom projection screen and ancillary LCD screen arrays can be supported in the same PixelNet Domain. It also supports arrays of up to 50 projectors. The Warp/Blend Node is a totally self-contained system, tightly integrated with PixelNet Domain Control (PDC) software, providing intuitive setup and control. The user interface and mapping tools are both intuitive and easy to use, allowing users to align complex multi-channel installations.

Edge Blending

The Warp/Blend Node makes it easy to create seamless images from multiple projectors. The system provides extensive blend capabilities, including gamma fine-tuning and black level offset in non-blend areas. It blends the output of two or more PixelNet TeamMate Output Nodes, both horizontal and vertical arrays and up to 50% overlap in both horizontal and vertical directions (recommended overlap is 10-20%). The new node supports digital (DVI, single link) signal resolutions up to 1920×1080 and pixel rates up to 165 MHz.

Warping & Geometry Correction

The Warp/Blend Node is capable of supporting nearly all surface geometries. It allows users to project onto both planar and non-planar surfaces, and supports off-axis projection with advanced keystone correction. Supported non-planar surfaces include: partial convex, partial concave, partial cylinder, globe, cylinder and arbitrary curved screens.
