Arrowhead General Insurance Agency Reports Improved Time-To-Market and Higher Document Quality Using Document Sciences' xPression

CARLSBAD, Calif., June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Document Sciences Corporation , a global market leader in providing customer communications management solutions, announced today that Arrowhead General Insurance Agency, one of the largest privately held general agencies in the US, has experienced faster time-to-market of new products by as much as 50% since implementing Document Sciences' award-winning xPression(R) software suite. xPression empowers organizations to produce highly personalized 1:1 customer communications for clients and agents for delivery via multiple distribution channels including print, email, and the Web. Arrowhead General reports that it has improved document quality, overall presentation and time-to-market since integrating xPression into its organization.

Operating in 35 states and offering quality products to 4,000+ independent producers, Arrowhead General's products include personal auto and home, workers compensation, construction, public risk, general liability, commercial auto, DIC and professional liability. As the company expanded through acquisition and organic growth, it used a range of technologies for policy administration and other back office functions, resulting in the need for Arrowhead General to standardize document production and have more control over its document composition and distribution operations.

"We continually push the envelope in all areas of technology utilization throughout the enterprise," states Stephen Boyd, Chief Information Officer, Arrowhead General. "We preferred a Java foundation for our environment, and xPression offered the Web-based architecture we needed to consolidate our output and improve the general look and feel of communications."

Arrowhead General notes that since implementing xPression, the time it takes to create new document applications or change current applications has been significantly reduced. With xPression, business users have taken greater ownership over application changes, minimizing IT's involvement in design and maintenance of document applications. Moving forward, Arrowhead General will continue to leverage xPression's integration capabilities by incorporating the technology into its sales portal, Arrowhead Exchange, as well as improving document quality by continually consolidating its document production onto xPression. "We expect to use xPression throughout all of our lines of business," said Boyd. "We are getting products to market faster by using xPression as our enterprise solution."

"Arrowhead General has taken full advantage of xPression's J2EE architecture and highly intuitive user interfaces to simplify document design and streamline processes for its agents," states Liza Smith, Vice President, Document Sciences. "By integrating xPression into the Arrowhead Exchange portal, Arrowhead General's agents will be able to improve the customer experience and increase revenue opportunities with highly personalized documents in real-time."

Stephen Boyd will be presenting on Arrowhead General's utilization of xPression during the Chief Information/Technology Officer Roundtable, taking place during the IASA 2007 Conference in the Minneapolis Convention Center, June 5, 2007.

Concord Publishing Achieves Significant Cost Savings While Gaining Security, Speed and Stability With Secure Computing's Sidewinder FirewallNetwork Gateway Security Solution Provides Major Operations and Productivity Advantages

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Secure Computing Corporation , a leading enterprise gateway security company, today announced that Concord Publishing is achieving considerable return on investment from its Sidewinder(R) network security appliance deployment, and is benefiting in terms of employee productivity and overall network operations. According to Michael St. Charles, the systems administrator at Concord Publishing, the company has experienced a 25-30% boost in network performance and is saving thousands of dollars over their previous network security approach.

"I can summarize the benefits of the Secure Computing(R) Sidewinder solution in three words -- security, speed and stability," said St. Charles. "Our network has become more stable and proportionately faster as we've been able to block most unwanted traffic at the network gateway. This has also led to a significant increase in available bandwidth."

Sidewinder is the world's most robust firewall/VPN and is the first and only firewall to deepen its defense-in-depth arsenal with a real-time global intelligence reputation system. Secure Computing's reputation system, TrustedSource(TM), provides Sidewinder with sender-based reputation scores that allow it to more effectively and proactively block threats while significantly improving network performance.

The Sidewinder security appliance provides next-generation unified threat management, advanced intrusion prevention, and protection of Internet-facing applications as well as employees' outbound Internet use. It blocks spam, viruses, spyware, phishing attacks and other malware through a process of deep content inspection down to the application layer.

"Sidewinder's flexibility and ease of use make it the best firewall I have seen. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to take control of their network security and improve overall performance," said St. Charles.

The Sidewinder network gateway appliance gives Concord Publishing's heterogeneous computing environment advanced bi-directional protection while eliminating the burden of having to regularly update ACL lists through a third-party provider. To St. Charles, this means reclaiming control of the company's network security without inhibiting the ability of employees to connect to the network remotely.

St. Charles explained: "Sidewinder allows us to control security and routing issues in-house with detailed reporting and logging, completely eliminating third-party ACL [Access Control List] updates. From a technical perspective, it is much faster to add a rule on Sidewinder than on the router or any of our previous firewalls."

"Using the Secure Computing solution, we've been able to save hard dollars simply by not having to pay an outside IT company to keep reconfiguring routers and firewalls. And the productivity gains are immeasurable, thanks to a much more stable network," he said.

Concord Publishing House is a multi-location, multi-media powerhouse publishing company that owns multiple newspapers and various other publications in the Midwest. With more than 200 employees working in multiple locations, including home offices, Concord Publishing must ensure that its employees have unrestricted access to many different sites, including some that under normal circumstances might be considered inappropriate to visit.

With an Active 2007 Hurricane Season Soon to Begin, Alabamians are Urged to Make Emergency Communications Plans

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 4 /PRNewswire/ -- With another active hurricane season predicted this year Verizon Wireless, which made intensive preparations to maintain strong network coverage during the extraordinary storm seasons in years past, offers residents these tips to be safer during hurricanes and other times of crisis:

-- Keep wireless phone batteries fully charged - in case local power is lost - well before warnings are issued. -- Have additional charged batteries and car-charger adapters available for back-up power. -- Keep phones, batteries, chargers and other equipment in a dry, accessible location. -- Maintain a list of emergency phone numbers - police, fire, and rescue agencies; power companies; insurance providers; family, friends and co- workers; etc. - and program them into your phone. -- Distribute wireless phone numbers to family members and friends. -- Forward your home phone calls to your wireless number if you will be away from your home or have to evacuate.

The company also urges the following actions once a storm is on the way:

-- Limit non-emergency calls to conserve battery power and free-up wireless networks for emergency agencies and operations. -- Send brief TXT messages rather than voice calls for the same reasons as above. -- Check weather and news reports available on many internet-connected and other wireless phones applications when power is out.

"We've seen first hand the need for reliable wireless communication before, during and after an emergency situation, which is why we work year-round to ensure that our network is ready," said Jeff Mango, president - Alabama/Georgia region for Verizon Wireless. "Because of our continued investment and preparation of our network across the state, we're confident we'll again provide stand-out reliability if severe weather strikes Alabama this year."

The Verizon Wireless network is built for reliability in emergencies, with battery back up power at all facilities and for additional reliability, generators installed at all switching facilities, and many cell site locations. The company also owns a fleet of portable generators that can be deployed to provide emergency power during extended power outages to those cell sites without permanent generators.*

Additional Verizon Wireless preparation for the 2007 hurricane season includes:

-- Verizon Wireless has invested $35 billion in the last seven years - $5 billion on average every year since the company was formed and more than $6 billion in 2006 - to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services. These improvements fortify Verizon Wireless' network to ensure operations during circumstances such as the hurricane season. -- Verizon Wireless is fully prepared to again quickly set up Wireless Emergency Communication Centers* (WECCs) to serve residents and rescue agencies in the area(s) in the greatest need. -- The company has developed and practiced a comprehensive emergency response plan, including preparing emergency command centers in the case of a storm or crisis. -- Verizon Wireless has a new Communications Store on wheels* ready to roll. The 35-foot trailer will allow Verizon Wireless to maintain retail operations in areas when company stores are not able to open or when retail services are needed in areas where natural disaster strikes, enabling customers to purchase the wireless phones and accessories they need.

Verizon Communications' national wireline network of central office switching systems has backup power in the form of batteries and backup generators that automatically keep the switch running when commercial electrical power is lost. In addition, Verizon monitors traffic on the network around the clock, and can quickly manage calling and data traffic around problem areas. Much of Verizon's national inter-city network contains redundant and diverse routing so that customers can still make calls if one part of the network is damaged.

GENEVA, June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- STMicroelectronics , a world leader in mobile phone audio solutions, today announced a compact audio power amplifier chip - intended for mobile phones and for other portable audio products -- which creates 3D audio effects in the stereo speaker outputs to add impact and a surround-sound feel to MP3 and video files. The TS4997 can deliver 1.2-watts per channel of continuous average output power into 8-ohm loads, from a 5V supply - although it operates from supplies of as little as 2.7V -- while its high-efficiency design and ultra-low standby power will help extend battery life.

Mobile phones increasingly offer media features such as FM radio, MP3 player, video player and videophone. The TS4997 is an ideal solution that can enhance the performance of such functions, in addition to providing a high- quality stereo amplifier. It delivers an impressive stereo effect from a very small platform, and is also suitable for PDAs and for other portable audio devices.

ST's analog 3D technology, which is integrated in the TS4997, is the simplest in the market; no signal pre-processing is required, and it needs no external components to be added to the compact 4mm square package, minimizing space requirements and ensuring low production cost. A two-pin digital interface controls the 3D effect through independent gain adjustments for each audio channel, while additional left and right channel Standby mode pins allow the supply current to be cut to less than 10nA per channel.

The amplifier chip operates on a 2.7V to 5.5V power supply, providing excellent immunity to supply interference with 85dB PSRR. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is a high 106dB(A), and pop and click interference is suppressed. The device is part of ST's large portfolio of audio amplifiers designed for portable applications such as mobile phones and laptop PCs.

The TS4997 is available now in a QFN16 4x4mm package, with 0.65mm pad pitch, priced at $1.20 in quantities of 1,000 pieces.

Digirad Introduces nSPEED(SM) - The New Standard In Cardiac SPECT Reconstruction

POWAY, Calif., June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digirad Corporation demonstrates its commitment to clinical excellence and technological advancement by introducing nSPEED, an advanced three dimensional SPECT image reconstruction technique. This advanced algorithm provides the clinicians with significant image quality improvement over existing 2D reconstruction techniques by producing clearer and more accurate images to help improve physicians' interpretation confidence.

nSPEED models the depth-dependent point response function in an iterative reconstruction algorithm (OSEM), thus enabling depth-dependent resolution recovery and improving chamber contrast in cardiac SPECT images. Such improvement may further enable the reduction of acquisition time while maintaining image quality as compared to conventional reconstruction without depth-dependent resolution recovery, while adhering to ASNC imaging guidelines. With this product, Digirad is striving to obtain ASNC and other society acceptance in order to meet accreditation requirements.

Preliminary studies of nSPEED have resulted in equivalent diagnostic quality for stress and rest images with reliable function quantitation measurements from gated stress images and reliable quantitation of perfusion defect severity on stress and rest images.

"Our next step is to conduct multi-center study that will seek to demonstrate that nSPEED offers the opportunity to cut the acquisition time for cardiac SPECT studies in half while maintaining equivalent or better clinical results than those produced by 2D reconstruction techniques," said Mark Casner, President and CEO, Digirad. "We believe that with nSPEED, Digirad's Cardius(R) 3 XPO triple-head cameras will be able to perform a four minute rest study and a three minute stress study, increasing throughput and decreasing patient motion and patient imaging time."

About Digirad

Digirad Corporation provides diagnostic imaging products and services to physicians' offices, hospitals and other medical providers for use in cardiology, internal medicine, and general imaging applications. Digirad designed and commercialized the first solid-state nuclear gamma camera for the detection of cardiovascular disease and other medical conditions.

WinCal XE's open architecture easily adopts 16-term calibration

WinCal XE's highly flexible design and open architecture allows new innovations and capabilities to be added quickly to the software. In cooperation with Auburn University, Cascade Microtech was able to add the new feature seamlessly, making it available to all customers who need advanced capability for high frequency measurements.

High frequency transistor measurement begins by calibrating the test system to the wafer probe tips using known test standards. Next, to eliminate undesired parasitic effects of transistor probing pads, wafer "dummy" pad structures are measured, de-embedding their loading and crosstalk effects on the "intrinsic" transistor. The accuracy of this approach is limited at extremely high frequencies due to necessary lumped element behavior assumptions that are no longer valid. A calibration-like approach with dedicated on-wafer standards for de-embedding makes no such assumptions and will overcome the high frequency limitations.

Past attempts to use traditional 12-term error model calibration for de-embedding have been incomplete and were not capable of characterizing the device-dependent coupling present in the pad structures. Only the complete 16-term error model can handle the complete behavior of device pads while providing improved transistor model parameter extraction. This approach is particularly valuable when a single-step calibration to the intrinsic transistor is desired and proper correction for device-dependent coupling is necessary. For more detailed information, see IMS session TH2D-04, June 7, 2007, "Singular Value Decomposition-Based Four-Port De-embedding and Single-Step Error Calibration for On-Chip Measurement," by X. Wei and G. Niu, Auburn University.

Other new capabilities for WinCal XE

WinCal XE calibration software is designed to reduce the complexity of making accurate wafer-level measurements at ever-higher frequencies and obtaining fast-turn data to reduce time to market. WinCal XE's open architecture allows new innovations and capabilities to be added quickly. It provides easy access to advanced features to refine RF measurements that are accurate, repeatable and reliable.

In addition to the new 16-term calibration, WinCal XE also includes new and recently added features including:

-- Unique hybrid calibrations, SOLT-SOLR and LRRM-SOLR, enable more accurate multi-port measurements; -- Advanced data post-processing of S-parameters with flexible viewing, customizable data manipulation and simple creation and sharing of display templates to increase lab productivity; -- Management and automation of all calibration methods -- whether it is SOLT, SOLR, multi-line TRL, LRM, LRRM or hybrid: and for 1-, 2-, 3-, or 4-ports -- enable shorter setup times; -- System validation tools, including a calibration comparison and advanced statistical reporting tools, to increase data accuracy; -- For faster measurement verification, the VNA (vector network analyzer) error set manager allows you to post-correct measured or stored data and make fast and simple calibration comparisons or augmentations.

Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited Updates

HONG KONG, June 4 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited today reported that registration of the PACT Asia Pacific Ltd's ("PACT") manufacturing joint venture is underway and is expected to be completed by end of June 2007. The company registration task has taken far too long due to detailed scrutiny by the Chinese authorities and to a larger extent due to the mutual agreement to the withdrawal of one of the minority JV partners, namely Wuxi Tongtian Environmental Engineering Co., Ltd. ("TONT"). The withdrawal of TONT has made way for the inclusion of a new minority partner namely the Italian Company, Ecomacchine S.p.A. ("ECO"). The new share holdings of the JV are PACT will invest US$300,000 and have a 60% controlling interest of the joint venture, whereas ECO and PACT Engineering FZC ("PACTFZC") will each invest US$100,000 to own 20%.

About PACT PACT is a majority owned subsidiary of Euro Tech. About ECO

ECO, established in 1976 in Torino, Italy, has many clients in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. ECO is specialized in manufacturing of sludge handling and dewatering equipment.

About PACTFZC PACTFZC, based in Dubai, is a Middle Eastern water treatment company.

As sludge dewatering and wastewater recycling are practical measures to lower cost of manufacturing and in the process reducing pollution and improving the environment. The new JV management has decided to concentrate on manufacturing of the following two products as standardized units. There will be less emphasis on custom-built equipment in order to reduce the high cost of engineering overheads. Besides cost reduction standardization substantially reduces technical risk.

Belt filter presses

The "Belt Filter Press" converts wet sludges to dry ones thus reducing disposal volume to a fraction of the original, hence substantial saving in disposal costs. The new JV will use the existing technology of ECO in manufacturing of Belt Filter Presses.

MBR (Membrane Biological Reactor)

The "MBR" uses an advanced membrane technology that treats biological wastes to a quality level which in many industries is good enough for reuse or low-cost disposal to sewers. PACT will produce state-of-the-art packaged sewage treatment plants. These packaged sewage plants have smaller area than that of the conventional packages and the treated effluent is treated to a level that it can be recycled or re-used.

T C Leung, Chairman and CEO of the Company, commented " We are excited about the new products and capability of the new JV in water treatment solution business. We think this new activity together with our recent acquisition of 20% stake in Zhejiang Tianlan Desulfurization and Dust-Removal Co. Ltd. ("BlueSky"), a company in air pollution solution business will definitely help combat the drop of income and revenue since early 2005 due to rapid drop of distribution business as a result of losing a number of exclusive agreements with our key suppliers. These suppliers now either sell directly into China market or open the market for other distributors to sell into China. The inevitable threat of falling income and revenue from distribution business has negative impact on the result of 2006 and this will continue and will only be reduced and under control when the contributions from our new acquisitions and activities are materialized and realized in coming months."

Certain statements in this news release regarding the Company's expectations, estimates, present view of circumstances or events, and statements containing words such as estimates, anticipates, intends, or expects, or words of similar import, constitute forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements indicate uncertainty and the Company can give no assurance with regard to actual outcomes. Specific risk factors may include, without limitation, having the Company's offices and operations situated in Hong Kong and China, doing business in China, competing with Chinese manufactured products, competing with the Company's own suppliers, dependence on vendors, and lack of long term written agreements with suppliers and customers, development of new products, entering new markets, possible downturns in business conditions, increased competition, loss of significant customers, availability of qualified personnel, negotiating definitive agreements, new marketing efforts and the timely development of resources.

Our commitment to helping companies capture the power of emerging content and Web 2.0 technologies is reinforced in our partnership with PodZinger."

Factiva's multimedia offering leverages PodZinger's exclusive speech-to- text and natural language processing technologies, giving users highly relevant results around their search. It also uses the patented Factiva Intelligent Indexing (TM) and displays results in charts and graphs so that users can immediately extract value and understanding from their search. According to a 2006 study by PodZinger, viewers listen to or watch only 15% of an entire audio or video file. Dow Jones is combining the strengths of both Factiva and PodZinger to deliver a unique and powerful multimedia search experience that enables users to surface short, targeted clips around specific search terms where they can subsequently view only relevant sections or the entire episode.

Tom Wilde, CEO of PodZinger said, "As multimedia content becomes a larger share of online news and information, users need a way to pinpoint just what they want inside these video and audio files. PodZinger's unique search capability saves valuable time for Factiva customers by giving them the means to skim over extraneous content and quickly find and view highly relevant material."

The Factiva multimedia content offering includes: -- Continuously updating content from more than 4,000 news and business sources (or series) and more than 300,000 individual episodes -- 90-day content archive from a business news and information collection that includes The Wall Street Journal, NPR, CNN, BBC Radio and more -- Language interfaces in English, Spanish, French, German and Russian

Microsoft and La Caixa Collaborate on SEPA, Set to Go Live in Six Months

ROME, June 4 /PRNewswire/ --

- Payments system based BizTalk Server will help Spanish banking group to comply with ISO20022.

Today at the EBAday 2007 conference Microsoft Corp announced that, following a competitive proof-of-concept stage, La Caixa d'Estalvis y Pensions de Barcelona (La Caixa), the third largest financial group in Spain, has chosen Microsoft(R) technology as the foundation of its new payments system to support its Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) and SWIFT InterAct and FileAct messaging services.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO )

La Caixa's new payments system will help manage SEPA payments validation, enrichment, transformation and routing to the appropriate clearing house. La Caixa will work with the clearing house of Euro Banking Association (EBA), the pan-European automated clearing house (PE-ACH) and Iberpay, the Spanish clearing and settlement mechanism (CSM). Expected to go live the last quarter of 2007, the system will fully support SEPA Credit Transfers and SEPA Direct Debits when available.

Based on Microsoft BizTalk(R) Server and BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT, La Caixa's system will provide a stable infrastructure to integrate its mainframe and Windows(R) services using different messaging systems. The existing infrastructure will become more agile and capable of deploying new products and services. It will form the foundation for FIN, FileAct and InterAct traffic messaging services and will also enable the bank to benefit from new SWIFTSolutions such as SWIFTNet Funds, Trade Services Utility, Cash Reporting and Exceptions and Investigations services.

Andreu Purroy, IT manager of clearing, settlement and Swift systems of La Caixa said, "We wanted a new payments infrastructure for ISO20022 standards that could be easily integrated with our existing systems and agile enough to easily adapt any potential future modifications to SEPA formats and validations. We're confident that by deploying a flexible system based on Microsoft software our people will be able to respond quickly to regulatory changes, keeping us ahead of the competition and able to offer the highest standard of service to our customers. In the future, we will re-use the new infrastructure in other bulk payments, in order to reduce complexity."

Sheida Hadji-Ashrafi, industry manager payments, Worldwide Financial Services at Microsoft, said, "Europe is rapidly heading towards the SEPA deadline. One of the major benefits of using Microsoft technology for payments is that it's so quick to implement while still being incredibly cost-effective. We have built a very strong working relationship with the La Caixa team to ensure that it will be fully SEPA compliant well before the deadline as well as helping the bank to gain a competitive advantage in the industry."
