NETGEAR(R) ReadyNAS(TM) Duo Named Best Buy and Selected as Top Network-Attached Storage Device by PC WorldReadyNAS Duo Home Media Server Receives High Marks for Feature Set, Ease-of-Use, Affordability, and Performance, Earns Top Ranking of NAS Devices Above Second-Place ReadyNAS NV+

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NETGEAR, Inc. , a worldwide provider of technologically advanced, branded networking solutions, today announced that the NETGEAR ReadyNAS(TM) Duo Home Media Server topped the competition in a roundup of new network-attached storage (NAS) devices published by PC World. The article, which can be viewed at http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,145158/article.html, praised the ReadyNAS Duo for its "home-friendly" feature set, ease-of-use, affordability, sturdy construction, and superior performance.

As a result of the testing conducted during the NAS roundup, the ReadyNAS Duo earned first place and the Best Buy designation on PC World's chart of Top 5 Network-Attached Storage Drives. NETGEAR's business-class ReadyNAS NV+ holds the second-place ranking on the PC World Top 5 chart.

"The Duo sailed through our performance trials, finishing all but one test at record speeds, beating even the (ReadyNAS) NV+, our previous NAS-device performance champ," wrote Darren Gladstone, senior editor at PC World. "This handsome unit has sturdy construction, with easy-to-access drive bays. Pop in a second drive, and by default the Duo will mirror the primary drive's contents to the second drive.

Magic Software Outperforms the Industry With Its New, Revolutionary Rich Internet Application PlatformMagic Software's developers' community to gain swift path to latest Web 2.0 standards

OR-YEHUDA, Israel, May 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. , a provider of business integration, application development and deployment tools, today announced that the next generation of its eDeveloper composite application platform (code named G5) will become commercially available in June 2008. Magic Software's G5 is the industry's first platform that lets developers use a single paradigm to develop a Rich Internet Application (RIA) that abstracts the Client and Server partitioning, and also can deploy in a hybrid mode -- on-premise as well as on-demand. G5 lets Magic application owners and ISVs extend their service and product offerings to include Rich Internet Applications, while significantly lowering the application maintenance and delivery costs.

Building upon its proven and reliable eDeveloper V10 (http://www.magicsoftware.com/1990-en/Magic.aspx) composite application platform (highlighting Event Driven and Service Oriented Architecture) and iBOLT BPM Suite, Magic Software's G5 provides direct compatibility with existing eDeveloper V10 applications. The June 2008 release will include support for Rich Internet Application development and hybrid deployment. The following release, to be released by end 2008, will add platform level and process based multi-tenancy, and support for additional Client types (in particular mobile clients and improved browser based clients). It will extend its alignment with industry standards by enabling the incorporation of .NET controls and assemblies, and the freedom to utilize any .NET-based software extensions. Furthermore, it will address Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) related administrative functions allowing full SaaS delivery capabilities.

Magic Software's G5 outperforms the industry on multiple accounts:

G5 development paradigm significantly reduces the development cost and complexity of Rich Internet Application development. The need to develop separately the Client- and Sever-side as well as the communication tier is an inherent obstacle to Rich Internet Application development applications. With G5, application development continues to focus on the business requirements and the rich user experience, while the partitioning into the different technical tiers is done by the platform. This results in substantial productive gains and cost savings in terms of human resources, time to delivery, maintenance and agility.

Another industry-first is the hybrid deployment capability -- all the various deployment modes (Desktop, Client/Server, HTML Web Applications and Web2.0 Rich Internet Applications) are defined in the same application metadata and development project -- meaning that application changes can be done once and are automatically propagated in any deployment mode. Here again, G5 provides application owners significant cost savings and a lower TCO.

A third high-impact is the seamless compatibility with existing eDeveloper V10 applications. This means that tens of thousands of vertical business applications can be easily and rapidly migrated to become available over the Web, while at the same time catering for the existing on-premise installed base. This responds to one of the main challenges of the SaaS wave, which is the availability of RIA applications. Magic expects that many of its ISV's would start upgrading their solutions to become Rich Internet Applications, becoming available for SaaS deployment with the second release of G5. That would make available for Platform-as-a-Service providers using G5 one of the richest and most global application portfolio in the industry, while opening up the new SaaS market to Magic Software's ISV community.

SaaS providers and ISV's who evaluated early versions of G5 found it the most cost effective alternative for developing and maintaining Rich Internet Business Applications.

"Rich Internet Applications and On-Demand software represent a turning point for software users and producers. The industry is receiving an application platform that fully caters to these new software and service requirements while continuing to preserve investments in traditional software solutions," said Avikam Perry, Magic Software's Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of Products.

G5 addresses the key industry challenges of offering a rich user interaction, a lightweight runtime footprint, compatibility with established skills and tools, abstraction of server and client aspects, and support for enterprise-class aspects such as manageability, security, performance and scalability.

Guy Bernstein, Active Chairman of Magic Software, added "Magic Software's engineering and product development team has been working closely with our customers and partners to deliver a comprehensive platform that provides all the functionality required to deliver both client/server and on-demand, rich internet applications. G5 means that thousands of vertical business applications could be delivered as web applications with a marginal effort, opening new business perspectives to our entire ecosystem."

Magic Software has a presence in over 50 countries as well as a global network of ISV's, system integrators, value-added distributors and resellers, and OEM partners.

Siemens Wins $245 Million Order from U.S. Postal Service(R) for 550 Mail Sorting Systems

ATLANTA, May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Siemens announced today that it has been awarded a $245 million contract from the United States Postal Service (USPS) for 550 Advanced Facer Canceller Systems (AFCS) 200 to replace and modernize its existing fleet of AFCS. The AFCS currently being used has been in service for almost 20 years and is used by the Postal Service (TM) to cancel First-Class mail.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070904/SIEMENSLOGO )

In addition to the design, build and installation of the replacement machines, the contract includes the delivery of ancillary equipment, spare parts, training and complete integrated logistics support services. Siemens and USPS engineers worked together to develop a system that integrated all the technical requirements of the USPS with the state-of-the-art developments in mail processing technology.

"We are delighted with the vote of confidence that the USPS has given us, continuing our many years of successful cooperation. The AFCS systems play an important role in mail processing and the new systems will help the U.S. Postal Service to further boost its productivity," said Hans-Jorg Grundmann, CEO of Siemens Mobility. "The AFCS remains an essential element in the automated mail process. Siemens has worked closely with the USPS to modernize and streamline the highly sophisticated technology in this machine to extend its useful life another 10 years."

The AFCS 200 will use the Siemens Advanced Color Reader (ACR) to detect and lift the address and other mail piece information for automatic reading. The ACR's greater capabilities will not only enable greater reading performance but also streamline the overall system design.

This will be the first system in the USPS fleet to use Siemens' channel gate technology. The channel gate improves on traditional diverters by actually modifying the path of the letter through the machine rather than deflecting it in a particular direction. The new technology greatly increases the throughput of the machine and will be a major contributor to the cost savings the USPS anticipates in the deployment of the AFCS 200.

Production and installation of the AFCS 200 order is expected to be completed by March, 2011.

The AFCS was initially deployed in the early 1990's and is primarily used to process First-Class mail sent by individuals. The AFCS 200 program responds to the decline in this mail type in recent years, allowing the USPS to improve the performance and maintenance characteristics of the system while reducing the total number of machines.

Al Gore to Ness Technologies' Clients and Business Partners: Addressing Global Environmental Concerns Should be the World's Top PriorityFormer U.S. Vice President Gore Addressed More Than 2,000 Clients, Partners and Guests at the 2008 Ness Technologies "We Make it Happen" Client and Partner Conference

TEL AVIV, Israel, May 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ness Technologies, Inc. , a global provider of IT services and solutions, held its client and partner conference today at the David InterContinental Hotel in Tel Aviv, Israel. Al Gore, former U.S. Vice President, 2007 Nobel Peace Prize recipient and author of the Oscar-winning film "An Inconvenient Truth," was the keynote speaker. Mr. Gore delivered his presentation, "An Inconvenient Truth," about global warming, including specific updates for Israel.

Gore said that addressing global environmental concerns should be the world's top priority. After saying "happy birthday Israel," referring to Israel's 60th anniversary, Mr. Gore praised Israel's respect for the environment that has led to reclamation of the desert and one of the most impressive tree planting programs in the world.

"In this region of the world, the water crisis is one of the most important manifestations of the global climate crisis," said Gore. "It is critically important for all the peoples of the world to recognize that what we are facing is unprecedented in human history. Every nation must do more, whether it is the US or Israel or any other nation in the world, we must have new thinking and incentives. We, the people of this planet must make a strategic decision in keeping with our highest values to shift the basis of our system from fossil fuel and carbon based resources to renewable technology."

The 2008 Ness Technologies "We Make it Happen" Business Summit focused on the overall challenges of business leaders and what it takes to turn vision into reality. The conference also hosted a panel discussion on "Leadership, Change and Globalization," moderated by Ilana Dayan, a prominent Israeli journalist, and featuring panelists Professor Yuli Tamir - Israel's Minister of Education; Amos Shapira - President and CEO of Cellcom; Dr. Judith Richter - CEO of Medinol; Eli Yones - CEO of Mizrahi-Tefahot Bank; and Aharon Fogel - Chairman, Ness Technologies and Chairman, Migdal Insurance.

"We deeply respect the work that Mr. Gore has done on climate change and the environmental issues that impact us all," said Shachar Efal, President of Ness Israel. "We appreciate that he took time from his demanding schedule to discuss with Israel's business leaders the impact of humankind on climate change and, importantly, how each of us can help prevent ecological disaster. We hope our 2,000 clients, partners and special guests took away leadership lessons from Mr. Gore that will inspire the action needed to turn vision into reality - not only on environmental issues, but also in business and technology endeavors."

"Al Gore is the embodiment of a leader who has made possible what looked from the start to be an impossible task," said Sachi Gerlitz, President and CEO of Ness Technologies. "He took the critical but little understood concept of global warming and, almost single-handedly, changed the way we all think about it. Through his leadership, unwavering spirit against the odds, ingenuity and ultimate success, he put the environment on the global agenda. At Ness we strive to bring these 'make it happen' qualities to every technology and business engagement with our clients in the 18 countries where we operate."

Gore, 60, was co-awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his worldwide commitment and efforts to contend with global warming. The former U.S. Vice President, who served under President Bill Clinton, is the most active and well-known leader in the effort to cope with global warming. Last year he also won the Academy Award for Best Documentary for his film "An Inconvenient Truth," and led the monumental music event Live Earth, which brought together a global audience to combat the climate crisis.

IBM and Iron Mountain to Develop Joint Solution for Managing Paper and Electronic Records

BOSTON, May 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Iron Mountain, Inc., , the global leader in information protection and storage services, and IBM today announced plans for a unified offering that combines Iron Mountain's Accutrac(R) software for physical records management with IBM FileNet Records Manager, providing companies with an integrated solution for viewing and managing paper and electronic documents. The joint solution will address customer demand for one system capable of keeping physical and electronic records in compliance with regulations and providing quick access to information in the event of litigation.

"Organizations are drowning in data of all types, and they're increasingly challenged by retaining and destroying it in a consistent manner," said Greg Nicastro, executive vice president of Iron Mountain's Integrated Solutions Group. "They can't afford to rely on one system for their paper records and another for their digital data. It breeds inconsistency, wasted time and money. And by using two systems for managing information, companies increase their risk for noncompliance. Our relationship with IBM combines our expertise in records management with IBM's market-leading technology for managing electronic records."

The rise of compliance and regulation requirements over recent years has forced companies to tighten their control over information and push for uniform records-keeping practices. This is a steep challenge for any organization, given the volumes of data usually spread across multiple technologies and locations. Companies unable to produce information in time for a lawsuit or ones found noncompliant with retention and privacy legislation face fines and possible risk to their reputation. For many, avoiding these risks means adopting consistent practices for classifying documents and assigning them retention schedules and litigation holds. While this protocol is not new, organizations often treat physical and electronic records differently because the information is managed through separate systems.

"We are expanding our collaboration with Iron Mountain to develop a solution that helps clients address emerging enterprise requirements driven from the propagation of costly point solutions and rising compliance and legal discovery costs," said Craig Rhinehart, director, ECM Strategy, compliance and discovery markets, for IBM. "Organizations want consistent, cost-effective policy enforcement across both electronic and physical records. By combining Iron Mountain's Accutrac software and IBM FileNet Records Manager, we'll be able to address all enterprise records requirements through a unified approach, while simultaneously reducing the cost and technology risks associated with compliance and records management."

Through the integration of Accutrac and IBM FileNet Records Manager, customers will enjoy improved access to all of their records-whether paper or electronic, active or inactive. This single window into an organization's records will enable better decision making and facilitate consistent records- keeping practices for classifying, tracking and managing documents. And when companies standardize how records are coded and managed throughout their organization, they can more easily capture information and search it, ensuring quicker response to litigation and less risk of noncompliance with regulations. The integration will leverage IBM ZeroClick technology for records declaration and records lifecycle administration.

By integrating their software, IBM and Iron Mountain extend a strategic relationship started earlier in the year when Iron Mountain launched the Digital Record Center(TM) for Images, an archive for electronic data powered by IBM's Content Manager onDemand software.

The joint records management solution from IBM and Iron Mountain is expected to be available in late 2008.

Advance Nanotech's Owlstone Subsidiary Requested to Accelerate Delivery on Contract From United States Defense Threat Reduction Agency

NEW YORK, May 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advance Nanotech, Inc., (BULLETIN BOARD: AVNA) , announced today that its Owlstone Nanotech Inc. subsidiary, which in October 2007 was awarded a three year $3.7 million contract by the United States Defense Threat Reduction Agency, has received a modification accelerating its delivery of chemical sensor products. The Company anticipates booking revenues of $2.25 million from this contract in 2008, an increase in revenues of $1.4 million from the initial plan. The contract is meeting specific performance targets under the initial terms with the customer, and the proprietary Owlstone technology is meeting previously established benchmark objectives, indicating progress has been achieved.

The Department of Defense contract requires Owlstone to develop, design and fabricate a miniaturized chemical detector using a Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometer ("FAIMS") capable of detecting chemicals below or immediately dangerous to life or health concentrations levels. Initially, Owlstone will proceed with a live agent test program of the FAIMS sensor technology for in-field applications. The focus of the program will be the micro-systems development and integration to yield a sensor with a low ancillary systems (pneumatic and electronic) footprint. The final stage of this contract will be to deliver sensitive, low-false-positive explosive detection capabilities with optimized sensor packaging for field deployable scenarios.

Owlstone's proprietary FAIMS technology offers the flexibility to provide rapid alerts and detailed sample analysis with reduced flow and improved ion drive over current conventional technology. The performances of existing systems, which largely use conventional Ion Mobility Spectrometry, worsen dramatically as they are reduced in size. By contrast, the Owlstone FAIMS solution has improved sensitivity, improved selectivity at reduced power as it is miniaturized. It is not only a sensor, but a highly integrated system with the necessary electronic and mechanical components squeezed into a compact footprint. Micro and nano-fabrication techniques enable the detector to be manufactured in a massively parallel fashion, achieving small form factor, economy of scale and reduced unit cost. Unlike alternate miniature detectors, Owlstone's technology does not rely on exotic materials, custom engineered for each application, which often degrade over time. It is easily customized to each application through software updates and can be dynamically reprogrammed for new chemicals even after deployment. Use of chemically inert materials ensures a long operational and storage life.

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency ("DTRA") is the Department of Defense's intellectual, technical and operational leader for DoD and U.S. Strategic Command in the global effort to combat weapons of mass destruction. Founded in 1998, the agency headquarters is located in Fort Belvoir, Virginia and employs 2,000 men and women, both military and civilian at more than 14 locations around the world. Weapons of mass destruction can be chemical, biological, nuclear, radiological or high-explosive. DTRA is the "go-to" agency in the Department of Defense to counter these weapons. DTRA safeguards America and its allies from Weapons of Mass Destruction by providing capabilities to reduce, eliminate, and counter the threat, and mitigate its effects.

About Advance Nanotech

Advance Nanotech is in the process of restructuring its business and becoming an operating company focused on chemical and biological next generation detection. Its proprietary technologies, developed at Cambridge University, are uniquely silicon-based, thereby offering miniaturization and network capability with wireless opportunities. The advantages of this protocol permits for real-time precision analytics leading to potential prevention of ensuing issues, concerns and dangers.

Making Printing Greener and More Productive: xpedx to Distribute World's First Led-UV Print Curing System for Offset Presses in U.S.Highlights:-- Environmental advantage of LED-UV system results in 70% reduction in power consumption, eliminates ozone emissions, need for inks with harsh solvents-- Important cost savings, productivity gains for commercial and in-plant printers-- UV curing units deliver quicker drying times-target key 'chokepoint' in print production today

KANSAS CITY, Kan., May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- xpedx(R) announced today that it will be the exclusive U.S. marketer and distributor of the world's first LED-UV print curing system, an offset printing technology from Ryobi(R) that provides significant environmental, pressroom and financial advantages.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20061010/NYTU044LOGO )

A 14"x20" RYOBI 525GX will be the initial platform for the LED-UV curing system, with plans to extend the system to press models such as the 23"x31" RYOBI 750 Series in the future. The new technology will be demonstrated at drupa 2008 in Dusseldorf, Germany, May 29-June 11.

The new RYOBI LED-UV curing system cuts power usage by a minimum of 70%, eliminates ozone emissions, has a lamp life 12 times longer than conventional lamps and uses ink with no volatile organic compound (VOC) solvents. Printing with UV curing units also greatly reduces drying times.

The system combines an LED-UV curing unit and special LED-UV inks manufactured by Tokyo-based Toyo Ink Manufacturing Co. It will be available to U.S. printers in 2009 through xpedx Printing Technologies, the exclusive U.S. distributor of Ryobi-branded offset printing presses and a business of xpedx, the largest North American distributor of printing papers and graphics supplies and equipment.

Although UV technology has been available to printers for more than 30 years, Ryobi's new system is the world's first curing unit that replaces conventional UV lamps with long-life UV light-emitting diodes, cutting power consumption 70%- to 80%.

Light emitting diodes (LED) are extremely efficient. Instead of using electricity to heat up a metal filament, LEDs produce light by channeling an electric current through a semiconductor material. The result: close to 100% of the electricity is converted into light, with virtually no waste heat generated. The average life of LED lights is typically measured in tens of thousands of hours.

UV curing units deliver significant productivity gains and cost savings to high-volume commercial and in-plant printers because of greatly reduced drying times. They are also environmentally friendly because they don't generate carbon dioxide emissions.

Features of the RYOBI LED-UV curing system: -- Reduction in power consumption by 70%- to 80% -- Light source lasts 12 times longer than conventional lamps, saving time and money -- Zero ozone emissions eliminate the need for ventilation ducts and blower boxes -- No infrared irradiation is produced, minimizing the heat effect on the printing press and media, especially film -- Light source can be switched on and off, no waiting for cooling and startup -- Efficient light source operation by controlling the irradiation width to accommodate paper size -- Safer for employees to operate because there is no increase in temperature, even directly under the LED light source. There is also less heat in the pressroom and it is less expensive to operate. -- Compact control cabinet requires less floor space About Ryobi Graphic Systems

JDSU Software Feature Helps Extend Optical Transmission Distances in DWDM NetworksRaman Amplification Technology Reduces Risk of Data Loss, Simplifies Network Management for Network Equipment Manufacturers, Service Providers and Corporations

MILPITAS, Calif., May 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU (Nasdaq: JDSU; TSX: JDU) today announced that it has integrated control software for Raman amplification within the JDSU AON Embedded Operating System (AON Embedded OS). The AON Embedded OS is used in circuit packs by network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) and service providers to manage optical functions as part of their dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) network infrastructures.

The new Raman control software helps to extend the transmission distances of optical signals between data centers up to 250 kilometers or more without the need for mid-span optical amplifiers. As companies increasingly use online applications to run operations, extending transmission distances with the JDSU Raman amplification technology may lower the chance of data loss from unexpected events such as power outages.

Extending transmission distances can also simplify ongoing operations and reduce costs for NEMs and service providers by removing the need to manage and house mid-span optical amplifiers. Raman amplification has been successfully used in long-distance submarine network systems for several years, and has now evolved as a solution for underground network systems in the terrestrial market.

"The use of Raman amplification is growing in popularity because of its superior performance and ability to extend the distance of optical transmissions -- this becomes even more important as faster 40G data rates take off," said Dave Nicholson, senior director of Research and Development in the Optical Communications business segment at JDSU. "JDSU has designed its AON Embedded Operating System in a modular way so that we can seamlessly add new functionality like Raman amplification to take network infrastructures to the next level of efficiency."

Using Raman amplification, an optical beam traveling over a fiber interacts with shorter wavelength light in a process called "Raman scattering." The Raman pump control software within the AON Embedded OS controls the pump lasers that amplify the optical beam. Because of its special properties, Raman amplification can be generated in the transmission fiber over tens of kilometers, instead of confining the signal boost within specific amplifier sites, improving the optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) within networks. This allows optical wavelengths to travel over longer distances.

About the JDSU AON Embedded Operating System

The JDSU AON Embedded Operating System is a telecom-grade application framework that supports major optical functions within circuit packs. In addition to managing day-to-day optical activities, the operating system is designed with a modular software approach that allows JDSU design engineers to easily add new optical devices, applications, and customer systems. The AON Embedded OS will be a key part of the JDSU AON Super Transport Blade, an all-in-one optical transport solution that is expected to be released later in 2008.

The Raman control software feature is currently available to all NEMs using JDSU circuit packs that use the AON Embedded OS.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, related to the Company's design wins, the expectations of revenue based upon design wins and expected orders from those design wins, new products and revenue opportunities from those new products. These forward-looking statements reflect current expectations. However, actual events and results could vary significantly based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to customer acceptance of NeoMagic products, the market acceptance of mobile TV feature phones and other devices developed and marketed by customers that use the Company's products, the success of customers' plans to develop multimedia phones, feature phones and other products, the acceptance of advanced multimedia services such as H.264 television on mobile phones and other products, the Company's ability to execute product and technology development plans on schedule, and the timely availability of sufficient manufacturing capacity at the Company's foundry to meet future customer demand for products. There is no certainty that current or future design wins will result in revenue for NeoMagic or that customer forecasts will be accurate. Customers may cancel or delay their production orders, projects or switch to other vendors. In addition, customers may fail to achieve their expected sales objectives due to competitive or other reasons resulting in excess or obsolete inventory requiring write-downs and charges to cost of revenue. Additional risks that could affect the Company's future operating results are more fully described in the Company's most recent annual report and other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and are available online at http://www.sec.gov/. NeoMagic may, from time to time, make additional written or oral forward-looking statements, including statements contained in filings with the SEC and reports to shareholders. NeoMagic does not undertake the obligation to update any forward-looking statements that may be made by or on behalf of the company, except as may be required by law.

Non-GAAP Reporting -- The Company's management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of our business and to estimate future performance. Since management finds this measure to be useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results "through the eyes" of management in addition to seeing our GAAP results. For comparison purposes, the Company makes reference to certain gross margin, operating margin, net loss and net loss per share. These non-GAAP results were reached by excluding stock-based compensation expense, gains on the sale of patents, and gains and losses recorded for the changes in fair value of warrant liabilities. We reference those results to allow a better comparison of results in the current period to those in prior periods and to provide meaningful insight to the Company's on- going operating performance. We have reconciled such non-GAAP results to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Atmel's Fully Programmable, Ultra Low Power RF Transmitter IC Boosts Flexibility for Car Access and TPMS Applications

SHANGHAI, China, May 20 /PRNewswire/ --

China International Automotive Electronics Show -- Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML) announced today the availability of the new fully integrated fractional-N PLL RF transmitter IC ATA5749 for car access and TPMS applications. The new device is one of the very few automotive RF transmitter ICs that is fully programmable, thus enabling flexible system design and adaptation. Moreover, it is one of only a few such devices with ultra low power consumption -- a significant factor for TPMS applications. For both RKE and TPMS applications, a single crystal type and a single board design (with only minor modifications) can be used for the standard 315 MHz and 433 MHz frequency ranges.

The IC's single-ended antenna output power can be adjusted in the range of -0.5 dBm to 12.5 dBm via an SPI bus interface. In each mode, the lowest possible current consumption for a given output power can be selected. For example, when used in a TPMS module, the active current consumption in transmission mode at an output power of 5.5 dBm is 7.3 mA (typical) and 8.8 mA (maximum). This is about 20% less than the values of currently available solutions on the market. Lower current consumption, of course, results in a longer battery lifetime, a critical factor for TPMS applications. Furthermore, in extreme weather conditions, the battery lifetime is superior to comparable products.

In the event of a change in system specifications, where the output power needs to be adjusted, the current consumption of the ATA5749 can be optimized accordingly. The active current consumption is scalable by output power programming via SPI in 1-dB steps. This enables designers to fine tune system performance, in particular, RF link budget versus battery lifetime.

In addition to output power adjustments, the SPI bus interface also enables the programming of other key parameters such as output frequency, FSK signal deviation, and CLK output frequency.

The ATA5749 operates at a maximum data rate of 40 kbit/s in FSK and ASK mode using Manchester coding, and at an RF frequency in the range of 300 to 450 MHz. The IC incorporates a robust crystal oscillator with fast start-up time of typically 200 us and a guaranteed parameter for negative resistance oscillation margin of 1,500 Ohm. This results in high reliability and helps avoid sleeping crystal issues. Only one 13.000000 MHz crystal type is needed for the standard frequency ranges 314.1 to 329.5 MHz and 424.5 to 439.9 MHz, resulting in nearly identical hardware board design for the regional RF modules, lower inventory costs, and reduced part number proliferation.

Availability and Pricing

Samples of the ATA5749 RF transmitter IC are available now in small-outline TSSOP10 packages. Pricing starts at US $1.25 for 10k-piece quantities. A demonstration board for development support is also available.

Siemens PLM Software Launches New Velocity Series ProductsSMB Suite Continues to Lead PLM Mid-Market

BOSTON, May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the Siemens Industry Automation Division and a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced new versions of the complete Velocity Series(TM) portfolio, including Solid Edge(R) software with synchronous technology.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070904/SIEMENSLOGO )

Siemens PLM Software made the announcement in conjunction with its annual industry analyst event that begins today in Boston.

Velocity Series is the PLM industry's first comprehensive, preconfigured portfolio of digital product design, analysis, manufacturing and data management software for the mid-market. The portfolio was introduced two-and-a-half years ago and since then has achieved consistent and strong growth for Siemens PLM Software.

"Two-and-a-half years ago we were the first to introduce a complete PLM portfolio for the mid-market," said Tony Affuso, chairman and CEO, Siemens PLM Software. "We are extremely proud of its track record and market adoption. Today the portfolio provides one of the highest growth rates in our product line. The commitment to a PLM portfolio that provides SMBs faster deployment, efficient distribution and low total cost of ownership has been critical to our success."

Strong performance

Velocity Series revenue growth has continued to grow at almost twice the 14 percent industry rate for the PLM mid-market. In addition to revenue growth, Velocity Series has been instrumental in Siemens PLM Software's channel expansion, which now has more than 425 channel partners globally and accounts for a third of Siemens PLM Software license revenue. In addition, nearly 90 percent of Velocity Series license revenue now comes from channel partners and more than 80 percent of Velocity Series channel partners now carry multiple Velocity Series portfolio products.

"Our growth reaffirms the demand for PLM from mid-market customers," said Bruce Boes, global vice president, Velocity Series Marketing, Siemens PLM Software. "The Velocity Series portfolio is unique in the industry. A completely scalable portfolio of PLM solutions with a focus on delivering pre-configured best practices has made Velocity Series products easier to implement and use, with one of the lowest total costs of ownership in the industry, while protecting SMB customer investment.

Most importantly for SMBs, the portfolio provides the ability to start anywhere and expand as needs develop."

"Siemens PLM Software's Velocity Series has been one of the first to pursue a broad PLM approach for mid-market companies, and their experience in expanding customer implementations across multiple domains validates their standalone yet integrated product portfolio approach," said Ed Miller, president of CIMdata. "As with larger organizations, mid-market companies don't typically implement a complete PLM strategy at one time. Rather, they implement PLM through a series of steps that incorporate various processes and technologies at a pace that their organizations can accommodate. This allows them to realize both immediate and long-term value."

Introducing Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology

Solid Edge is the CAD component of the Velocity Series. The new release is the first version of Solid Edge to incorporate Siemens PLM Software's breakthrough digital product development technology announced last month. Solid Edge with synchronous technology is a complete feature-based 2D/3D CAD system that combines the speed and flexibility of direct modeling with precise control of dimension-driven design. Solid Edge with synchronous technology will fundamentally change the way engineers design using CAD software. With the increased flexibility of history-free feature-based modeling, designers will be able to generate more options in less time, improving innovation and quality, while reducing time to market.

In addition to history-free, feature-based modeling, new features include breakthroughs in "Procedural Features" for parameterized edits without an ordered recompute, a "Synchronous Solve" that allows edits regardless of creation order, new "Live Rules" to infer function from existing geometry, and 3D "Driving Dimensions" that allow dimensional changes to completed models -- all of which are enabled by a new flexible user "Grab and Go" interaction paradigm. (See separate press release.)

Teamcenter Express cPDM

Teamcenter(R) Express is the preconfigured collaborative product data management (cPDM) component of the Velocity Series. The latest release is Version 4, featuring improved collaboration and control for project managers, lead engineers and shop floor users. Two new modules help SMBs streamline their engineering resources and widen access to their product data. The first is an embedded project and program management option for project managers. The second is a lower cost web client for shop floor users that delivers the same fast access to product data that industry analysts calculate saves designers and engineers 10 to 12 percent of their time. Teamcenter Express now includes targeted support for these key roles and further improves the ability of SMBs to introduce new products to market faster and with best-in-class quality, while optimizing the use of their resources.

CAM Express NC Programming

CAM Express is the NC programming component of the Velocity Series. It covers a wide variety of programming requirements, including high speed machining, multi-function mill-turning and 5-axis machining. The latest release is Version 6 and features substantial advances in 3-axis machining and feature-based automation. Features include new cutting strategies for curve/edge and 3D profile cutting, optimized corner rounding techniques, smoother finish cuts through specialized point distribution, as well as new toolpath editing/dividing tools. In addition, version 6 includes feature recognition and knowledge editor technology from Tecnomatix(R), Siemens PLM Software's digital manufacturing software portfolio, which can cut as much as 90 percent of programming time for repeatable features.

Femap FEA

Femap(R) is the finite element analysis (FEA) component of the Velocity Series. The latest release, Version 10 helps users create FEA models easily and quickly from CAD data through new meshing capabilities. It automates current meshing technology, while adding new interactive meshing and model and element checking functionality. These enhancements combined with new pre-defined and standardized workflow methods make it easier to consistently and accurately produce meshed models for analysis an order of magnitude faster than today. Version 10 also strengthens Femap's solver integration support to continue its strength as a standalone solver-neutral FEA modeling solution.

Siemens PLM Software Launches Solid Edge With Synchronous TechnologyNew History-Free, Feature-Based Design Environment Drives Faster Innovation

BOSTON, May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the Siemens Industry Automation Division and a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced the introduction of Solid Edge(R) software with synchronous technology, the first version of Solid Edge to incorporate Siemens PLM Software's new breakthrough history-free, feature-based design technology for digital product development announced last month.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070904/SIEMENSLOGO )

Siemens PLM Software made the announcement in conjunction with its annual industry analyst event that begins today in Boston.

Solid Edge with synchronous technology is a core component of the Velocity Series(TM) portfolio and combines the speed and flexibility of direct modeling with the precise control of dimension-driven design, providing a fast, flexible design experience.

"I have not seen anything as exciting and innovative as Solid Edge with synchronous technology since the introduction of parametric modeling in the late 80s. Solid Edge has crafted a dramatic breakthrough by combining direct modeling, parametric modeling and a new user interface," said Ray Kurland, president, Technicom. "Siemens PLM Software has re-thought how users can more easily model in 3D. Users should love the ease of building and editing models -- all without any need to pre-plan how models might be used in the future. Solid Edge's competitors will be scrambling for years to catch up."

"Solid Edge with synchronous technology streamlines communication with our suppliers," said Cory Goulden, CAD administrator, National Steel Car. "Its new editing tools allow us to edit a supplier's 3D data directly, which significantly reduces 2D drawing documentation time. Solid Edge with synchronous technology also makes editing parts easy. This eliminates the time and effort previously spent deciphering the feature tree of traditionally created parts. Modifications can be made without having to be concerned over repercussions of pre-existing constraints."

Fast, flexible design speeds innovation

Solid Edge with synchronous technology includes new key features that speed innovation, including an interactive design paradigm, faster editing tools, native multi-CAD features and 2D/3D workflow integration.

-- Create in a new interactive design environment: A new interaction paradigm speeds innovation by enabling users to develop 3D models without any pre-planning. With direct "Grab and Go" tools, users create models with virtually no commands and iterate design scenarios regardless of how the model was constructed. A history-free, feature-based modeling approach captures features in a collection, avoiding time consuming ordered regeneration when changes are made. By eliminating the need to pre-plan designs users can see up to a 100 times faster design experience. -- Edit faster: New tools increase the speed and flexibility of design changes. Users add 3D driving dimensions and relationships to any part of a completed model. Operations that come later in the design cycle can drive the size and position of geometry already created. "Live Rules" automatically recognize and maintain strong geometric conditions, while "Procedural Features" allow parameter-based edits to features such as holes and patterns. A new "Synchronous Solve" simultaneously manages all of these concepts eliminating model regeneration during changes, so users can perform engineering change orders (ECOs) in seconds instead of hours. -- Edit multi-CAD data as native: All tools in Solid Edge can be used on imported CAD data in the same manner as native models, maintaining critical geometric conditions during modification. Users can edit geometry by direct selection or use automatic element selection, where functional features such as bosses, ribs or cutouts are automatically recognized. For parameterized control, 3D driving dimensions can be added to imported models and even linked to spreadsheets to better leverage engineering knowledge. By editing supplier data as easily as native models, users can make changes faster than their supplier. -- Leverage 3D power with 2D simplicity: Familiar 2D workflows within the 3D user interaction paradigm enable users to become experts quickly. Users edit parts or assemblies quickly and easily by selecting a model and "stretching" it into position like they did in 2D. Additionally, the user interface was designed leveraging the power of the new Microsoft Office 2007 platform, where users are only presented with the most common operations during element selection.

"I've been in the CAD industry for over 20 years and I've seen the birth of 2D CAD, 3D wireframe and parametric systems; not since Solid Edge V1 has a technology grabbed my attention like this synchronous technology," said Allan Blackwell, managing director, Cutting Edge Solutions Ltd. (http://www.cuttingedge.co.uk/) .

"The new synchronous technology now embedded in Solid Edge is the biggest technology to hit the CAD industry in the last 20 years," said Bill McClure, vice president of Velocity Series product development, Siemens PLM Software. "It makes Solid Edge the most complete feature-based 2D/3D CAD tool, combining the speed and flexibility of explicit modeling with parameterized design."

Siemens PLM Software Launches NX 6 SoftwareDesign Freedom with Breakthrough Synchronous Technology and Advanced Simulation Deliver Greater Powers

BOSTON, May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of Siemens Industry Automation Division and a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) products and services, today announced the release of NX(TM) 6 digital product development software that provides features driven from Siemens PLM Software's recently announced synchronous technology.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070904/SIEMENSLOGO )

Siemens PLM Software made the announcement in conjunction with its annual industry analyst event that begins today in Boston.

"NX 6 delivers on the breakthrough in design productivity we announced last month," said Joan Hirsch, vice president of NX product development, Siemens PLM Software. "We've integrated synchronous technology into the NX comprehensive toolset, delivering major enhancements to design, simulation and manufacturing. This release enhances our strong momentum and the market share growth NX is experiencing."

"Our implementation of NX is realizing productivity improvements that have exceeded our targets and overall we're seeing a 20 percent improvement in the CAD operation efficiency," said Keigo Fukushi, general manager, Process Information Management Department, R&D Engineering Management Division, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. "We believe the NX team is committed to helping Nissan achieve our long-term objectives in product development."

Four key NX 6 innovations * Flexibility -- NX 6 provides users new flexibility with Design Freedom powered by synchronous technology that leverages the ease of direct editing in the model creation process. Design Freedom now combines the best of constraint-driven techniques with direct modeling in a technology that provides users with up to a 100 times faster design experience than ever before. * Strength -- NX 6 handles extremely complex problems through comprehensive CAD/CAM/CAE. NX 6 advanced simulation handles the most demanding CAE challenges, providing a 30 percent reduction in physical prototypes. * Coordination -- the NX 6 unified process enables collaborative product development that leads to 20 percent faster cycle times through process efficiency improvements such as feature-based machining. * Productivity -- NX 6 provides engineers and designers greater productivity through major re-use enhancements such as scrapbook modeling that can improve cycle times by 40 percent. With NX 6 engineers gain greater productivity through their ability to leverage multi-CAD data within their design, analysis and manufacturing processes thereby reducing the need to re-master information for improved analysis and machining times. Design Freedom, powered by synchronous technology for greater flexibility

NX 6 expands the capabilities of Design Freedom with the new synchronous technology application layer. NX 6 Design Freedom provides new approaches to creating and editing geometry. These improvements make CAD easier for everyone in the product lifecycle, including designers, engineers, analysts and manufacturing engineers.

A new "active selection" technique adds intelligence to designs when needed. These advanced selection methods automatically recognize logical and feature relationships even on non-native data.

"The Design Freedom capabilities from NX 6 will improve our engineers' ability to deal with external non-parametric or very complex models," said Feng Lianguo, chief engineer, Hisense Air-Conditioner R&D Centre. "We can easily and quickly re-use the model or feature not only from old version, but also from other software. It will definitely become a most powerful tool to assist engineers, and it will also improve our modeling method."

In addition to Design Freedom, NX 6 continues to improve the user experience by providing users with greater flexibility through enhancements to its role-based user interface introduced in NX 5. The NX 6 user interface adds full screen mode for maximum graphics and customizable on-screen pop ups to speed interaction. The result is a system that casual users can leverage along with the most experienced CAD users.

"The latest release of NX enables me to be more efficient and productive. The customizable pop-up menus really speed things up," said Elango Ramanathan, automation specialist, Hughes Christensen. "Now I can put all my favorite commands right under my mouse, there's no need to go to the menu bar to pick a command. What's really great is to be able to use all of my screen space for graphics; this makes complex design work so much easier."

Advanced simulation for greater strength

NX 6 continues to deliver on Siemens PLM Software's Lifecycle Simulation vision, which is to make simulation pervasive throughout the product lifecycle in order to design in quality and drive product innovation. The new release includes a complete suite of robust multi-disciplinary simulation solutions that meet the needs of advanced CAE analysis experts as well as designers and design engineers.

NX 6 simulation provides extensions to the integrated Advanced Flow and Advanced Thermal solutions. This enables simulation of the complete range of coupled multi-physics, including conduction, forced convection, condensation. In addition, new FE model correlation capabilities enable CAE engineers to validate the accuracy of their simulation results against real-world performance measurements from physical prototypes. This results in better design decisions at increased levels of accuracy

"We are very interested in NX 6's new CAE features," said Mdm. Liu Liping, manager assistant of CAE Dept., Foton Automotive Engineering Research Institute. "Particularly NX's pre/post capabilities and the solver strengths of NX Nastran(R). We noticed the enhanced unified CAD/CAE mode and see its inherent advantage. The method and capability of mid-surface extract is also good. We will also leverage the 'Virtual Mass' method when we make response simulations for liquid containers. It is an effective and quick linear contact solution for such analysis. These capabilities left us with a deep impression. We look forward to trying them out in NX 6."

Global access to centrally managed data for greater coordination

NX provides greater coordination by integrating CAD/CAM/CAE disciplines across a product's lifecycle. This unified process accesses centrally managed knowledge to accelerate product development.

Product knowledge is leveraged in downstream applications through product and manufacturing information (PMI) data. NX 6 leverages PMI data to significantly improve the flow of information throughout the lifecycle. This connects to the feature-based programming automation in NX CAM and reduces NC programming time by 20 percent.

Additionally, CAE product knowledge is coordinated through NX Advanced Simulation, which leverages the new CAE data model and CAE Assembly Product Structure available in Teamcenter(R) for Simulation. Teamcenter integration enables the global transformation of new product development processes, including the integration of data from both commercial and in-house simulation tools.

NX 6 also improves coordination through faster data management capabilities. The new release leverages the latest performance gains offered by the new Teamcenter architecture. This is particularly important to users working at multiple geographically dispersed locations where the need to interact real time with information is critical.

With access to Geolus(R) Search available inside NX, engineers are now able to search for common parts by characteristics such as size and shape. Geolus Search is a 3D search engine which quickly identifies parts based on their geometry characteristics such as size and shape. Geolus search results can include NX parts, JT data or data from other CAD systems.

Re-use throughout the lifecycle for greater productivity

A differentiating feature of NX over competing systems is its ability to capture and re-use knowledge in CAD/CAM/CAE. NX 6 provides key new features that increase product re-use for reduced design time. Design Freedom preserves multi-CAD design intent by allowing users to add intelligence where necessary.

"The new editing capabilities of NX 6, which allow you to easily make fast changes, are really impressive," said Danila Marco, CAD-CAM Portfolio Manager, Avio S.p.A. "You can simply modify data imported from other CAD systems, without knowing their history. Furthermore, JT format integration is a step forward in large assembly handling and the new interface is particularly intuitive and attractive."

In addition, NX 6 supports a new workflow called "scrapbook modeling" that allows users to cut, copy and paste sections of a model to increase geometry re-use. This can reduce model preparation effort by up to 70 percent.

In addition to the re-use of product knowledge in design, NX enables manufacturing to re-use processes, which cuts overall manufacturing cycle time. For example, the new NX 6 Machining Knowledge Database stores feature-based machining processes to support programming automation and to share company best practices. Pre-built machine tool kits also speed implementation.

Availability

NX 6 is expected to be available by June 30. For a complete what's new guide, visit http://www.siemens.com/plm/nx6 .
