The Inventor The Story of Tesla

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 16, 2012

Helios Entertainment has partnered with comic publisher Arcana to officially release the first highly anticipated graphic novel “The Inventor: The Story of Tesla” at Comic-Con 2012 in San Diego taking place July 12th-15th. For a limited time only, Tesla fans can receive a free download of the comic’s Chapter One preview. Pre-orders of the full graphic novel, which is scheduled to be released this summer at Comic-Con at the Arcana booth, will be available in paperback and digital download at: http://www.TheInventorSeries.com.

“The Inventor: The Story of Tesla” is the first graphic novel in a series on ground-breaking modern inventors in the 19th and 20th century. The 150-page six-chapter comic illustrates how one man, Nikola Tesla, stood against the goliaths of industry and changed the world with nothing but his mind, passion, and vision for a better humanity.

“I was inspired by the true story of Tesla and wanted to empower kids and adults to make a difference in the world with the power of their mind just as Tesla did,” said Ravé Mehta, creator and head of Helios Entertainment. “‘The Inventor’ is a graphic novel that doesn’t have the blood and violence traditionally seen in comics; it’s more of a thought-provoking human drama of the real battle that took place between Tesla and Edison as they fought to invent the 20th century and set a new course for humanity.”

Tesla has been a seminal influence on some of today’s most dynamic and creative minds. In 2011, Google CEO and Co-founder Larry Page referred to Nikola Tesla as his childhood hero at the Google Zeitgeist Conference, and called him “the greatest inventor you could imagine.”

Some inspired Tesla fans and marketers have adopted his name to brand such progressive products as electric cars (Tesla Motors) and sophisticated graphic processors for high-end science and engineering computer applications (NVIDIA Tesla GPUs). There’s even an American hard rock band, Tesla, who named themselves after the inventor because he pioneered the radio.

Helios Entertainment plans on using the graphic novel to generate interest and audience feedback to help shape ‘The Inventor’ World which will include games, apps, and a film that’s currently under development. More information on what’s to come for the comic series can be found by visiting http://www.facebook.com/TheInventorSeries or following @InventorSeries on twitter.

DATEC-MOBIL-BOX – IP65 enclosures for hand held electronics equipment in a huge range of sizes

Fareham, Hampshire (PRWEB UK) 16 May 2012

OKW has increased the number of customisation options available for its already large range of award-winning DATEC-MOBIL-BOX IP65 enclosures.

On request, designers can now specify DATEC-MOBIL-BOX plastic enclosures in antimicrobial ABS which helps to protect users against infection from HIV, influenza, fungi and algae.

The antimicrobial protection is built into the enclosures at a molecular level and makes DATEC-MOBIL-BOX hand held enclosures ideal for sectors such as medical and wellness or food production.

OKW Sales and Marketing Director Robert Cox said: “New antimicrobial protection is a major step forward for these ABS IP rated enclosures.

“The active substance is added to standard ABS using an inert carrier – allowing a controlled release of protective ions,” he added.

Other options for these custom enclosures include:

    bespoke cutouts for custom displays, an increasingly popular choice among electronics designers
    water transfer printing and digital printing – giving a vast choice of futuristic finishes such as fine art, snakeskin, dollar bills or zebra print
    textured lacquering to provide tactile finishes such as leather-effect or suede-effect.

OKW’s DATEC-MOBIL-BOX range has been used successfully over the years for thousands of different types of hand held electronic devices. This popular range of plastic enclosure boxes has been extended and updated regularly to meet demand for new sizes and options.

The Hanover Fair award-winning DATEC-MOBIL-BOX ABS enclosures set the industry standard for attractive yet functional hand held and desktop cases.

They are extremely versatile, making them popular in a broad spectrum of applications including mobile data recording and transfer; test and measurement; instrumentation; stock and sales logging and digital control technology.

Their IP65 protection rating and robust design makes these electronic enclosures particularly suitable for use in harsh environments.

In total, there are now 28 versions of DATEC-MOBIL-BOX, including models without a battery compartment. These provide extra space for applications which have larger and more heavily populated PCBs.

Versions with LCD windows have been designed to accept industry standard LCD modules from a broad range of manufacturers including Hitachi, Sharp, Vikay and Varitronix.

The window versions make it very simple to turn DATEC-MOBIL-BOX industrial plastic enclosures into the finished product without the need for extensive machining.

But with customisation becoming more readily available at lower volumes, more and more designers are specifying bespoke cutouts to accommodate the latest generation of displays.

DATEC-MOBIL-BOX is available in sizes ranging from 152 x 83 x 33.5 mm to 252 x 121 x 50 mm. Prices start at £22.

All models are available in ABS (UL 94 HB) in two standard colours – Black RAL 9005 and Off-white RAL 9002 – but the range of custom colours is infinite.

Other options include silk-screen printing, EMC shielding, special tilt stands, machining and much more.

Features of DATEC-MOBIL-BOX IP65 enclosures:

    Hand held enclosures for mobile electronics
    Ergonomic profile makes them comfortable to hold
    Protection Class – up to IP65 (with optional sealing gasket)
    Windows for standard LCD modules
    Size S and L models with/without battery compartment
    Size M with battery compartment lid only – battery holders ordered separately
    Battery compartments hold 1.5V AA or 9V cells
    Top recess for mounting membrane keypads
    Internal screw pillars for mounting PCBs
    Material – ABS (UL 94 HB), antimicrobial ABS available as an option
    Standard Colours – Off-white, RAL 9002, or Black, RAL 9005
    Accessories – battery contacts, IP65 sealing kits, acrylic windows, wall holders, tilt foot bars, TPE rubber protector.

Other hand held PCB enclosures designed and manufactured by OKW include:

BLOB – a revolutionary new range of highly ergonomic and intuitive enclosures that ‘teach by touch’, guiding the users’ fingers to the correct control buttons. BLOB is available in three highly versatile designs, UNIT, CONTROL and PANEL.

CARRYTEC – a new range of IP54 instrumentation cases with strong but soft touch carrying handles moulded into the design to make them more robust than traditional retrofitted handles. Their tamper-proof screws, bed clamps and rail fittings make them an obvious choice for the medical and wellness sector.

DATEC-CONTROL – hand held enclosures designed specifically to accommodate large LCD displays, available as IP54 or IP65 enclosures.

DATEC-POCKET-BOX – thin profile IP41 and IP54 hand held enclosures with battery compartments for N, AA, AAA and 9V batteries. Infrared versions in PMMA Plexiglass enable them to be used as remote control units.

ERGO-CASE – body-contoured IP54 enclosures that can be hand held, clipped to a belt, worn on the wrist or mounted on a wall.

For more information about all these ranges of IP rated enclosures, view OKW’s website or contact Sales and Marketing Director Robert Cox, +44 (0)1489 583858.

(PRWEB UK) 14 May 2012

American consumer electronics giant Apple has now confirmed the dates for its upcoming World Wide Developers Conference 2012 event, thus sparking the usual flurry of rumours and speculation on what people can expect to see released later this year.

The WWDC is the annual company software event which takes place in San Francisco, United States of America, with this year’s bonanza set as the 11th until the 15th of June.

As well as the potential launch of the new operating system iOS 6, Apple fans are hoping that there will be some news on the next iPhone model, although this seems more likely to be left until October (like last year).

On the agenda at the conference is bound to be a surprise or two, with the keynote speech always much anticipated. With Apple sales of recent releases like the iPad and iPhone going phenomenally well, an update to the Mac software is expected.

Around this time, there is always a frenzy of news and rumours on Apple products, with the MacBook Pro and Air lines going without an update for some while, so this could be the announcement consumers were looking for.

Although tickets to the event have been snapped up so fast and Apple hardware is rarely cheap, customers may still be able to bag a bargain when they buy their devices online using voucher codes.

Promotional codes and discount vouchers are valid against certain purchases and can be used to get computers, mobile phones and tablet PCs for less than the recommended prices.

The Missing Sync For Android 2.0

Los Gatos, CA (PRWEB) May 08, 2012

Mark/Space has released the newest update of its award-winning synchronization software for Android phone and tablet users, The Missing Sync for Android 2.0. The new version is fully compatible with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), features enhanced video, support for more tablets, a dynamic podcast plug-in, and various fixes and enhancements. The release of 2.0 also means that each purchaser receives three copies for the price of one.

The Missing Sync for Android 2.0 synchronizes Android phone and tablet users’ information, files and media with their PCs or Macs via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB. Busy Android users save precious time because The Missing Sync for Android 2.0 syncs contacts, calendars, notes, tasks, music, video and photos automatically so that they don’t have to manually update their information, files, documents, playlists, photo albums, and more.

We’ve also dramatically enhanced our proprietary automatic wireless “Proximity Sync™.” Everyone knows how tedious and time-consuming it is to manually transfer and update data and files between their Android device and computer. The Missing Sync solves that dilemma. In fact, no other Android sync software automatically and wirelessly synchronizes with both PCs and Macs whenever the Android user’s phone or tablet is within proximity (usually within 30 feet) of their computer. The automatic syncing can be customized based on what sync time intervals are set by the user.

With The Missing Sync for Android 2.0, there’s no need to remember to conduct a sync, and users don’t have to worry whether their info is updated and the same between their computer and Android device. Plus, Android media sync is also available via the traditional USB cable.

With the inclusion of the popular Fliq add-on apps by Mark/Space, available from Google Play (formerly Android Market), users can also sync contacts and calendars with Outlook, Entourage and iCal, making of The Missing Sync for Android 2.0 the true all-in-one Android-to-computer sync program. Plus, users can sync their MP3s, photos, video files and iTunes playlists and photo albums.

In addition, The Missing Sync for Android 2.0 has many other features, including the ability to create ringtones from a music collection, convert home movies to watch on an Android device, transfer Internet Explorer and Safari bookmarks from a PC or Mac, export text messages and phone call logs to a PC or Mac for viewing, searching, sorting and storing. Also included is the cool app, Mark/Space Notebook.

Additionally, if an owner of The Missing Sync for Android 2.0 ever loses their phone or tablet, they’ll have a backup of their precious data stored on their computer, and vice versa, thanks to The Missing Sync. Altogether, when customers purchase The Missing Sync for Android 2.0, they get much more than the best Android sync software.

With two extra licenses for each purchased license, The Missing Sync owners can give the extra copies to family, friends and colleagues, or use them on multiple devices, such as an extra Android phone or tablet.

Visit the Mark/Space website to get more information on sync features, watch overview videos, check the requirements, browse the screenshot gallery, and purchase the 3-for-1 updated version of The Missing Sync for Android 2.0. Everything you need in one software suite.

The BigLeap Road show

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) December 13, 2011

BigHand, the market leading voice productivity software vendor in the global legal & professional services industry, has seen its most innovative and powerful new version BigHand 4.2 immediately adopted by law firms following its introduction to the Australian legal market at the recent national road show series entitled ‘The BigLeap’. The new features and enhancements have been developed in consultation with legal customers through a series of user groups, in order to improve secretarial efficiency and increase the usability of speech recognition for law firms. BigHand 4.2 is a significant step forward in making speech recognition accessible to all types of authors and for a much broader range of work.

Pam Grumetza, Senior Business Systems Analyst, Crown Law comments:

“Prior to attending the BigHand Road show, Crown Law Queensland was already in the process of upgrading to Bighand v4.1 with a special interest in mobility and speech recognition. After seeing the demonstration of the latest release we were so impressed with the additional features, especially the formatting functionality using speech recognition, we made a decision to upgrade straight to v4.2.”

BigHand 4.2 encourages firms to consider the business case for integrating smartphone usage and speech recognition software into their BigHand platform as a way of expediting document creation, lowering document production costs and freeing up secretaries to add greater value away from transcription. With the growing challenge of managing overhead costs and profit margins, firms are looking for ways to increase their efficiency and effectiveness in order to stay ahead of the competition.

Russell Seenan, IT Manager at Barry.Nillson noticed the competition moving away from other platforms to BigHand:

“The firm needed to find a replacement to its current digital dictation system, which was old and restrictive in the devices that we could use. During our research, we noticed a number firms switching from other platforms to BigHand. We were impressed with BigHand’s latest version, and after speaking to some of their existing clients it became clear that their product, support and professionalism was second-to-none.”

Top tier law firm Shine Lawyers have also chosen to upgrade to BigHand 4.2. Jeremy Collins, IT Manager comments:

“Shine Lawyers is upgrading to the latest version of BigHand to take advantage of the latest mobile integration, enabling us to leverage our existing smartphone fleet to introduce dictation services via a single mobile device. We are also looking forward to being able to better manage our Word Processing pool through the enhanced reporting modules.”

Sean Stephens, Sales Director, Asia-Pacific, BigHand comments, ‘’BigHand v4.2 is one of the most exciting and feature rich releases we have seen, especially around the area of speech recognition. The enhancements included come from extensive consultation with users through a series of customer focus groups. Our proofreading additions bring some of the most effective and efficient tools to the document assembly process, further improving secretarial efficiency and document turnaround times.’’

About BigHand

The BigHand Group supports over 142,000 professionals globally, across 1,300 organisations, and is based out of London, Chicago, Sydney and Toronto. BigHand is a Microsoft Gold Partner and Elite BlackBerry ISV Partner, and was voted winner of the Australasian Legal Business Magazine’s Dictation & Transcription ‘Service Provider of the Year 2010’ and ‘Dictation System of the Year’ at the 7th Annual Law Technology News (LTN) Awards 2009.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) May 12, 2012

The 2012 Offshore Technology Conference at Reliant Park in Houston is celebrating a 30-year high in attendance with 89,400 people attending the show. OTC officials say the numbers were up 14% over 2011 and mark the third highest in show history. One attendee, Jhump & Associates founder and president Jerry Humphrey says the high attendance only proves that the industry is on the upswing but facing several challenges, “It’s no secret the oil industry is heading in the right direction and that will present many operational challenges for our colleagues.”

In a release on the OTC website, conference chairman Steve Balint echoed Humphrey’s opinion, “The industry is on the rise and the challenges are ahead, making it more important than ever to collaborate and share best practices,” Balint added, “In terms of strength of the technical sessions and technology on display, OTC reached a record-breaking number of people.”

Humphrey says exploration and drilling are ramping up and companies are scrambling to meet the demand of getting the right people, the right teams and the right resources in place. That’s where he says his company shines, “We’re drilling people. Our team has been proven in the field and we understand the business and the culture. That gives us a competitive advantage when it comes to business development and human capitol.”

Jhump has proven itself as a leader in finding solutions for its oil industry clients. In addition to finding the right people to handle the job, Jhump has had abundant success in working with companies in liquidating surplus equipment. “Finding oil and gas is a process that uses a bunch of equipment,” Humphrey said. “When you use that much equipment, there’s going to come a time when you don’t need it anymore or something breaks down and you need a part. That’s where we come in.”

Jhump has watched its surplus equipment sales soar over the past few years, including a 117% rise since last year. Humphrey says their success can be attributed to their process of evaluating the goods with a fair price, connecting the right buyers and sellers and the addition of Equipstream.com, a new online surplus marketplace. “We wanted to make the process of finding, listing and buying equipment simple,” Humphrey said. “Equipstream.com allows us to do that. Now anyone can visit our site, see our goods and make a purchase with the click of a mouse.”

Humphrey was proud to tell this year’s OTC visitors all about Jhump’s success and show them the benefits of using Equipstream.com. The company had their largest presence ever at the conference. “Our booth was packed with clients and curious visitors daily,” he said. “While we’ve been around for a few years, this year marks a new beginning for us. Our philosophy hasn’t changed, but our company has grown. And most importantly, people are learning more about Jhump. And they’re learning when it comes to the services we provide, we do what we say we’re going to do. And most of the time, we outperform our projections.”

Jhump & Associates sets the standards in oil and gas business development, human capital and surplus equipment liquidation and procurement services. With a proven track record and relationships built on trust, Jhump evaluates and lists surplus equipment, determines a fair price and finds the right buyers and sellers.
