Next Inning Technology Updates Outlooks for Corning, Microchip Technology, Plum Creek Timber, and STMicroelectronics

PRINCETON, N.J., April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), a subscription service focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for Corning , Microchip Technology , Plum Creek Timber , and STMicroelectronics .

In his State of Tech report, Editor Paul McWilliams covers roughly 70 companies that, in total, report annual revenues in excess of $700B. The quarterly Next Inning State of Tech has been praised by many professional investors as one of the best tools available for investors hoping to cash in during earnings season. New subscribers have the chance to leverage these detailed reports during a 21-day no-risk free trial membership:

https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn664

In his earnings preview, McWilliams wrote: "The Corning story in a nutshell is that I believe the persistently high prices we're seeing for copper are leading many emerging market telecom companies to leverage fiber more than they would if copper prices were lower. In addition to that, it appears that the companies manufacturing the massively large glass panels used for flat screen TVs are developing a viable business model to use the same production lines to make thin film solar panels. All of these applications have the potential to drive demand for Corning going forward..."

McWilliams also looks at these topics: -- Last fall when Corning was trading for $22 and change, McWilliams suggested that readers buy the stock. Now that it has moved up to the mid-$20s, does he still see it as a good value? -- Last January when Microchip was trading in the high $20s, McWilliams wrote that it was a good buying opportunity. Now that the stock has moved into the mid-$30s, does he think it's time to take some profits? -- Knowing that higher interest rates would slow home construction, why would anyone suggest buying a timber REIT in 2006. McWilliams did and the total return to date has been over 35%. What does he see coming next? -- What two factors should STMicro stockholders watch going forward??

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 238% since its inception versus 86% for the Nasdaq.

About Next Inning:

Next Inning is a subscription financial newsletter focused on technology stocks. Editor Paul McWilliams is a 20+-year industry veteran.

Orbitz Responds to Vanguard's Baseless Lawsuit

CHICAGO, April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Vanguard Car Rental -- which owns and operates the Alamo and National brands -- has filed a complaint against Orbitz Worldwide in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. Following is Orbitz' response to Vanguard's baseless lawsuit:

"Vanguard's new lawsuit against Orbitz lacks merit.

Vanguard is apparently upset with the way that Orbitz sorts its search results, which provides Orbitz' customers with valued rental car choices.

Vanguard wants those results to be sorted in a way that is not required, and which would take away reservations from other valued suppliers.

The bottom line is that Vanguard is trying to use a lawsuit to get a sorting result from Orbitz that Vanguard and Orbitz did not agree to. In short, Vanguard is trying to use its lawsuit to get something for nothing.

Orbitz will vigorously defend itself against Vanguard's claim and remains confident the court will rule against Vanguard's baseless attempt to redefine the parties' relationship."

Net income for the fourth quarter was 16.3 billion yen and earnings per share were 37.71 yen. For the same quarter of the previous year, net income was 19.0 billion yen and earnings per share were 44.11 yen.

For the previous fiscal year, net income and earnings per share were 83.3 billion yen and 193.50 yen.

"The beginning of the new fiscal year looks better than the same period last year. We are planning a proactive capital investment in FY2008 in order to meet the market demand. "

Business Highlights for the Fourth Quarter

Revenue growth for the quarter was driven by merger with Pentax, however, the operating income decreased by 26.8%. Electro-Optics revenue decreased by 6.4% largely due to seasonal decline of demand and negative effect on foreign exchange rate. Vision Care revenue decreased by 6.5% due to the tough competition with low-price lenses. Healthcare sector delivered 10.0% revenue growth for the quarter resulting from successful consulting sales effort and expanding sales of value-added products.

Starting this quarter, the sales of three Pentax business units are consolidated. Life Care net sales increased year-on-year basis driven by strong sales of new endoscopic system. Imaging System net sales decreased year-on-year basis due to the sales decline of compact type digital camera. Optical Component net sales increased year-on-year basis resulting from steady performance of value-added digital camera module.

Business Highlights for the Full Year

California Micro Devices lance le dispositif de protection XtremeESD(TM) avec une protection ESD de 20 kV

MILPITAS, Californie, April 28 /PRNewswire/ --

- La seule solution ESD conforme à la norme HDMI(TM) 1.3a et aux essais ESD de 20 kV

California Micro Devices (Nasdaq : CAMD) a lancé aujourd'hui le CM1234, son tout dernier dispositif de protection ESD (décharge électrostatique), dans la gamme XtremeESD basée sur l'architecture PicoGuard XS(TM). Ce dispositif possède 8 canaux de protection ESD conformes à la norme CEI61000-4-2 avec + -15 kV de décharge de contact et + -20 kV de décharge d'air. Il est aussi conforme aux exigences d'adaptation d'impédance différentielle stipulées dans les normes de vidéo numérique HDMI(TM) 1.3a et DisplayPort(TM). Le dispositif est idéal pour les télévisions numériques, les écrans LCD, les notebooks, les décodeurs et les magnétoscopes DVD haute définition.

(Photo : http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080428/AQM036)

<< Les fabricants de produits électroniques grand public effectuent souvent des essais de conformité supérieurs à 8 kV, plus particulièrement sur les ports facilement accessibles par les consommateurs comme les ports de vidéo numériques montés à l'avant et sur les côtés >>, explique Joe Salvador, directeur du marketing pour les produits électroniques informatiques et numériques de grande consommation. << Jusqu'à présent il n'existait aucun dispositif de protection ESD capable de se conformer à ces niveaux élevés de protection, tout en maintenant l'intégrité du signal avec des niveaux de données correspondant à HDMI(TM) 1.3a. >>

Adaptation d'impédance du PicoGuard XS

Le CM1234 incorpore la récente architecture PicoGuard XS qui intègre les bobines d'induction avec les diodes afin de créer un point fixe d'adaptation de l'impédance pour les lignes de données haut débit. Traditionnellement, les concepteurs de système doivent compenser la capacité électrique des dispositifs de protection ESD en ajoutant une inductance externe, et en éliminant la capacité dans les traces de signal près des dispositifs ESD, ou les deux en même temps. Ces approches rendent la conception plus complexe et plus coûteuse, et elles dépendent de la carte du circuit imprimé, limitant la capacité d'utiliser différents fournisseurs de carte. Dans de nombreux cas, ces approches sont impossibles notamment si la capacité du dispositif est trop élevée, comme c'est souvent le cas avec les dispositifs ESD actuels de 20 kV. Le CM1234 élimine le recours à ces méthodes en fournissant une adaptation de l'impédance sans compensation ni composants externes.

CM1234 - Une meilleure protection ESD

Le CM 1234 offre une protection pour quatre paires de canaux différentiels en offrant une protection ESD conforme à la norme IEC61000-4-2 avec + -15 kV de décharge de contact et + -20 kV de décharge d'air. L'intégration des bobines d'inductance avec les diodes ESD offre une meilleure protection ESD ainsi qu'une remarquable intégrité du signal. Comparé aux meilleurs réseaux de diodes ESD, le CM1234 offre :

-- 40 % de réduction par rapport aux pointes des écrêteurs de tension -- 15-40 % de réduction par rapport aux pointes de courant résiduel -- 100 Ohm d'adaptation impédance différentielle sans besoin d'une compensation externe -- Un cheminement direct pour une topologie améliorée -- Un boîtier TDFN compact de 16 broches pour un espace de carte réduit

Site mis à jour http://www.XtremeESD.com

Ce nouveau Centre de ressources ESD offre d'importantes informations sur la protection ESD aux concepteurs d'applications électroniques, numériques et informatiques grand public. Le site contient diverses documentations techniques, des spécifications de produit, des articles et des présentations ainsi qu'un forum de discussion abordant nombreuses questions sur la protection ESD. Veuillez consulter le http://www.XtremeESD.com.

Prix et disponibilité

Le CM1234 est disponible en boîtier de 16 broches TDFN. Il est en cours d'échantillonnage et il sera fabriqué en masse ce trimestre. Son prix est de 0,59 USD l'unité, pour 1 000 unités.

3-D Virtual Tour of First-Ever BMW X6 to Roll into Lobbies of Buildings Near Wall Street as Centerpiece of Ad CampaignBMW of North America Banking on Dynamic Hologram of World's First Sports Activity Coupe to Reach Target Consumers in Financial Community

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- BMW of North America and its advertising agency GSD&M Idea City are rolling out a 3-D virtual vehicle tour to herald the arrival of the first-ever BMW X6. Going direct to target consumers with a hologram of the vehicle, the world's first sports activity coupe will be featured in prominent buildings in New York City's financial district over a four-week period.

Employing patented technology from Dutch advertising company viZoo, the 2008 BMW X6 will be projected in three dimensions, appearing as a hologram, inside a ten-foot square, BMW-branded enclosure. Inside the light-controlled space, an animation suggesting the vehicle's unique combination of coupe agility and sports activity vehicle versatility runs on a loop.

"Busy finance executives represent an important sampling of the target consumers for the new BMW X6," said Jack Pitney, Vice President, Marketing, BMW of North America. "Since these prospective buyers rarely have time to visit a dealer showroom, our virtual tour allows them to experience the performance, agility and utility of the X6 by bringing the showroom to them."

An interactive touch-screen inside the enclosure will allow people to manipulate the vehicle hologram to view different angles, experience the interior, explore the vehicle features, and get a sense of the generous cargo space.

"The BMW X6 doesn't look like anything BMW has ever produced -- you have to see it to believe it," said Duff Stewart, President and COO of GSD&M Idea City. "Our goal was to put this amazing vehicle in front of its best prospects and stop them in their tracks."

The BMW X6 virtual tours will be open in each New York City location on Monday through Friday during regular office hours, and will be staffed by brand ambassadors during peak times. The building locations and dates are as follows:

-- World Financial Center (225 Liberty St.) from April 21st - April 25th -- 245 Park Ave. from April 28th - May 2nd -- 1 Liberty Plaza from May 5th - May 9th -- 1 New York Plaza from May 12th - May 16th

A media partnership has been forged with CNBC-TV to help further the BMW X6's reach among members of the financial and business community. On the television news network, the new BMW X6 will drive across the top of the screen as part of a reverse stock ticker -- a first for any advertiser. Additionally, BMW is the first automotive company to sponsor a taping of CNBC-TV's "Power Lunch," on location recently at The Four Seasons Restaurant in New York City, where real-life power lunches take place everyday. The new BMW X6 was on display.

On the West Coast, a media partnership with Variety will introduce the BMW X6 to target consumers in the entertainment industry as part of the latest installment of the "10 to Watch" series, "10 Innovators to Watch," in both print and online editions dated May 5th. To extend its partnership with the leading entertainment industry trade, BMW will join Variety in supporting the Consumer Electronics Association's Digital Hollywood Conference in Los Angeles from May 5th-8th. BMW will be the exclusive automotive sponsor of the conference, will stage an X6 display in front of the conference venue and, along with Variety, a Digital Hollywood media partner, will host a "10 Innovators to Watch" panel discussion followed by a cocktail party.

Aggressively styled print ads telegraph the attitude of the new vehicle with bold taglines like "Coupe's evil twin" and "What is it? What isn't it" set in a heavy typeface. The ads will appear in April, May, and June issues of national business/financial, lifestyle and automotive enthusiast magazines, including: Forbes, The Economist, Conde Nast Portfolio, Robb Report, The New Yorker, Cigar Aficionado, Automobile, and Road and Track.

A national cable television spot, directed primarily at viewers of business, news and sports networks, supplements the campaign. The 30-second piece, entitled "Clay," shows a lump of clay morphing between a variety of vehicle shapes, evoking the BMW X6's performance-based roots, until finally landing on the distinctive form of the sports activity coupe. The clay model is replaced by a Vermillion Red Metallic BMW X6, and a voiceover says, "The coupe has been reshaped. The all-new BMW X6." The spot will appear on such national cable television networks as Bloomberg, MSNBC, CNBC, CNN, Fox News, ESPN, NFL Draft on NFL Network, The Golf Channel, NBA Playoffs on TNT, and the Speed Channel.

Other highlights of the comprehensive ad campaign for the 2008 BMW X6 include:

-- Spots on the Captivate Network, which delivers news, entertainment, and advertising to digital screens in the elevators of premier office towers in North America's top 23 markets. -- A specially designed BMW X6 web site for Apple iPhone users, and the ability to drive information direct to other "smart phone" devices in response to a text message inquiry from the user. -- A prominent banner ad on the Bloomberg Terminals relied on by members of the financial community for real-time and historical stock information. -- A BMW sponsorship of Morningstar.com's premium subscription content that will make it available to users free of charge from April 29th - June 7th, and will feature an animated BMW X6 that will drive across the screen when users submit stock information inquiries. -- An online presence through financial page takeovers of business and financial web sites like LinkedIn.com, Forbes.com, TheStreet.com, and Morningstar.com. Also, online creative will appear in Variety.com and select in-market automotive web sites. -- Airport billboards that proclaim "After you land, fly" and "The goose bumps begin at deplaning" are slated to appear in 15 airports covering 10 domestic markets.

A virtual design studio tour on the BMW web site will allow visitors an inside look at the design and development of the BMW X6. Modeled on the BMW design studio in Munich where the world's first sports activity coupe was conceived, the interactive piece will be available at: http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Content/AllBMWs/FutureVehicles/X6/X6TeaserExplo re.aspx#studio (Due to the length of this URL, it may be necessary to copy and paste this hyperlink into your Internet browser's URL address field.

Microsoft Research Supports Exploration Into Energy-Efficient ComputingCompany's environmental research efforts deepen with new 'power aware' program.

REDMOND, Wash., April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As part of its Sustainable Computing Program, Microsoft Corp. today announced it will support four academic research projects focused on energy efficiency in computing in the areas of datacenter power efficiency, power management and the creation of parallel computing architecture with decreased power demands.

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

Through this program, Microsoft Research is stimulating research across a broad range of areas with the potential to significantly improve energy efficiency. And considering that a single 100-watt incandescent light bulb left on around the clock for a year costs more than $80 to power and releases 1,350 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere -- roughly the same amount of power that an idle PC uses in that same timeframe -- finding ways to lessen humankind's impact on the environment is critical.

"We want to open new avenues of research and raise the awareness of power as a critical resource that needs to be managed," said Sailesh Chutani, senior director of Microsoft External Research. "Through this program, we are encouraging novel thinking about how to reduce that power consumption and how to make technology more environmentally friendly into the future."

The Sustainable Computing Program explores two main areas of research that can have a major impact. The first is the principle of "pay for play," which is the idea that the power consumed by a computing device should be proportional to the demand placed upon it, lowering the amount of energy consumed at low load and idle. Secondly, energy efficiency, even at peak loads, is equally important in reducing the overall consumption of electricity and should be managed as a first-class resource. The program encourages researchers to use novel approaches in hardware design, software, networking, benchmarking, analysis, virtualization and any other avenue that might provide improvements in the field.

Under the program, a total of $500,000 will be awarded among the four winners. A summary of the winners and descriptions of their projects follows:

* "Control-Theoretic Power and Performance Management for Green Data Centers"; University of Tennessee; aimed at developing frameworks for integrating power and performance improvements in virtualized datacenters * "Building a Building-scale Power Analysis Infrastructure"; Stanford University; for the design and deployment of a dense sensor network for power analysis, producing data for future research on power-aware computing * "A Synergistic Approach to Adaptive Power Management"; Harvard University; for the development of a dynamic runtime environment that ensures that power consumption is proportional to the computational demands made on the system * "Simulating Low Power x86 Architectures with Sooner, a Phoenix-based Simulation Framework"; University of Oklahoma; for the development of a simulation framework that supports the study of low-power microarchitectures for innovative multicore systems

Microsoft Research is committed to delivering breakthrough innovations in research in the areas of energy efficiency and conservation, weather study and prediction, air pollution and quality, climate change, and hydrology. Other efforts range from sensor networks to assist scientists in understanding global ecological issues by tracking animals, to Web-enabled sensors that could be used in businesses and homes to monitor energy consumption. For example, research with the Berkeley Water Center, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and National Marine Fisheries Service will use these technologies to help form a "digital" picture of watershed health.

In February, Microsoft Research Cambridge announced new technology to help understand sensitive species' responses to changing environments, in an effort to enhance conservation strategies. In March, at the company's annual TechFest event, several new environmentally friendly projects were on display, including a new server-provisioning strategy to reduce the power consumed by large networks and a Web service designed to replace batteries used in smoke detectors and other household devices.

"We applaud the efforts of these academic researchers to develop new, innovative technologies to reduce energy usage and lessen the impact on the environment," said Rob Bernard, chief environmental strategist at Microsoft. "Microsoft believes in the potential of software to help create a more sustainable environment, and the Sustainable Computing Program is just one example of Microsoft's ongoing commitment to help businesses and consumers drive change through energy efficiency."

Microsoft Research also has several projects aimed at providing technology expertise and tools to scientists in an effort to improve how data is accessed and used. Such projects include studying how the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere leads to changes in Earth's climate, and understanding the impact of increased population and industry on rivers and balancing this with the need to conserve wildlife and protect ecosystems.

California Micro Devices Introduces XtremeESD(TM) Protection Device with 20kV ESD ProtectionIndustry's Only ESD Solution that passes both HDMI(TM) 1.3a Compliance and 20kV ESD Tests

MILPITAS, Calif., April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- California Micro Devices today introduced the latest ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection device in the XtremeESD family utilizing the PicoGuard XS(TM) architecture, the CM1234. It features 8 channels of ESD protection that meet + -15kV contact discharge, and + -20kV air discharge per the IEC61000-4-2 standard, while meeting 100 Ohm differential impedance matching requirements of the HDMI(TM) 1.3a and DisplayPort(TM) digital video standards. It is ideal for digital TVs, LCD displays, notebook computers, set top boxes, and HD DVD recorders.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080428/AQM036)

"Consumer electronics manufacturers often test to standards greater than 8kV, particularly on ports easily accessed by consumers such as side and front mounted digital video ports", stated Joe Salvador, director of marketing for computing and digital consumer products. "Until now, there were no ESD protection devices that could meet these higher levels of protection and still maintain signal integrity at HDMI(TM) 1.3a data rates."

Picoguard XS Impedance Matching

The CM1234 incorporates the recently introduced PicoGuard XS architecture that integrates inductors with the diodes to create fixed point impedance matching for high speed data lines. Traditionally, system designers must compensate for the capacitance of the ESD protection device by adding external inductance, eliminating capacitance under the signal traces near the ESD device, or both. These approaches add complexity and cost, and are PCB board dependent, limiting the ability to use multiple board vendors. In many cases, this may not even be possible, particularly if the capacitance of the device is too high as is typical with existing 20kV ESD devices. The CM1234 eliminates the need for these measures, providing matched impedance with no external compensation or components required.

CM1234 -- Increased ESD Protection

The CM1234 provides protection for four pairs of differential channels, offering ESD protection to IEC61000-4-2 standard + -15kV contact discharge and + - 20kV air discharge. The integration of inductors with the ESD diodes provides for improved ESD protection as well as outstanding signal integrity. Compared with current best in class ESD diode arrays, the CM1234 offers:

-- 40% reduction in peak clamping voltage -- 15-40% reduction in peak residual current -- 100 Ohm differential impedance matching with no external compensation required -- Straight through routing for improved layout -- Compact 16 pin TDFN package for reduced board space Updated http://www.xtremeesd.com/ Website

This new ESD Resource Center provides relevant information about ESD protection to designers of personal computer and digital consumer electronics applications. The site contains technical white papers, product specifications, articles, presentations and an open forum on various ESD protection topics. Go to: http://www.xtremeesd.com/.

Pricing and Availability

The CM1234 is available in a 16 lead TDFN package. It is currently sampling and will be in full production this quarter. It is priced at $0.59 each at 1,000 units.
