SAN DIEGO, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Electronics Inc. today announced the WH-1000XM4 – the highly-anticipated fourth-generation headphones from Sony’s award-winning 1000X family. The wireless over-ear model offers all the much-loved technology from the popular WH-1000XM3, with additional smart features that personalize and control music, improve industry-leading noise cancelation* and adjust ambient sound automatically based on user preferences.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Electronics Inc. today announced the WH-1000XM4 – the highly-anticipated fourth-generation headphones from Sony’s award-winning 1000X family. The wireless over-ear model offers all the much-loved technology from the popular WH-1000XM3, with additional smart features that personalize and control music, improve industry-leading noise cancelation* and adjust ambient sound automatically based on user preferences.

«Our industry-leading noise canceling has continued to wow the world, and this new model takes that incredible technology even further,» said Mike Fasulo, president and chief operating officer of Sony Electronics North America. «Sony was the pioneer behind noise canceling technology back in 1995, and that 25 years of experience has helped us drive the industry forward and offer best-in-class audio products.»

Noise Cancelation

  • Sony’s Best-Ever Noise Canceling Performance: With two microphones on each earcup, Dual Noise Sensor technology captures ambient noise and passes the data to the trusted HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1. Then a new BLUETOOTH® Audio System on Chip (SoC) senses music and noise at over 700 times per second. Using a new algorithm, the HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 applies noise canceling processing in real time. This industry-leading noise canceling allows the user to focus more on the music or entertainment they love and blur out the chaos of the outside world.

Exceptional Sound

  • Next-Level Music with Edge-AI: Using Edge-AI, DSEE ExtremeTM more accurately rebuilds audio lost during digital compression for a full fidelity experience. Edge-AI analyzes music in real time and recognizes instruments, music genres and individual elements of each song to restore the high range sounds for a richer, more complete listening experience. To build this AI system, Sony worked with Sony Music Studios Tokyo to gather data and insights on how specific music signals are composed.
  • Experience 360 Reality Audio1: 360 Reality Audio, a new immersive audio experience, can be enjoyed on the WH-1000XM4 headphones when combined with an Android™ smartphone/iPhone that has a participating streaming services app installed2. The 360 Reality Audio listening experience immerses users in music as if they were right in front of their favorite artist. Listeners can enjoy a custom immersive musical field that is perfectly optimized for them when using the WH-1000XM4 headphones and the «Sony | Headphones Connect» app.

Smart Listening and Voice Technology

  • Never Miss a Moment with ‘Speak-to-Chat’: This innovative new feature enables users to have short conversations without taking off their headphones. By simply saying something, the headphones will recognize the user’s voice and automatically stop the music to let in ambient sound so they can conduct a conversation3. The music automatically starts playing again 30 seconds after they’ve stopped speaking. Additionally, ‘Quick Attention’ mode is also available on the WH-1000XM4, making it easy to tune in for an announcement or say something briefly by simply placing the right hand over the earcup to decrease the volume and let in ambient sound.
  • Smarter Listening with Adaptive Sound Control: This function senses where a customer is and what they’re doing and adjusts ambient sound settings for the ideal listening experience. Over time, Adaptive Sound Control learns to recognize frequently visited locations such as the workplace, gym or favorite café, and tailors sound to suit the situation. For example, if walking near a busy street, sound can be adjusted so the listener can still be aware of the surroundings without needing to turn off the music. Users can set up their frequently visited locations and preferred settings via the «Sony | Headphones Connect App» and ambient sound settings will automatically update as they move between different environments4.
  • Wearing Detection for a Longer Battery Life: The headphones detect whether they are being worn and adapt playback accordingly to help save battery power. Using the headphone’s proximity sensor and two acceleration sensors, the headphones automatically stop the music when removed and resume playing when put back on, providing an effortless listening experience.
  • Superior Call Quality with Precise Voice Pickup: The WH-1000XM4 features new Precise Voice Pickup technology, which controls five microphones in the headphones optimally, and performs advanced audio signal processing to pick up voice clearly and precisely for hands-free calls and Speak-to-Chat5.
  • Voice Assistant: Manage the day with ease using Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa6. Enjoy entertainment, connect with friends, get information, listen to music and notifications, set reminders and more.

Ease of Use & Stylish Design

  • Seamless Multiple Device Pairing7: For total convenience, the WH-1000XM4 can be paired with two BLUETOOTH® devices at the same time8. So, when a call comes in, the headphones know which device is ringing and connect to the right one automatically. Quickly and smoothly switch the headphones to either of the two devices at the touch of a button.
  • Easily Locate with ‘Fast Pair’: The WH-1000XM4 also supports Google’s helpful new Fast Pair feature.9 Now, users can easily locate their headphones by ringing them using the tone sound.
  • Exceptional Battery Life: The perfect companion for a long-haul flight, the WH-1000XM4 are NFC and BLUETOOTH® enabled and have a battery life of up to 30 hours10. Additionally, the quick charging function provides up to 5 hours of wireless playback from just 10 minutes of charging11.
  • Stylish and Comfortable Design: WH-1000XM4 blends sophisticated styling with exceptional comfort and light-weight design, for a barely-there wearing experience. Designed for those who travel frequently, the super-soft, pressure relieving earpads evenly distribute pressure and increase ear/pad contact for a stable fit.

Pricing and Availability

Panamorph’s Reactive Progressive Imaging Technology Leverages AI to Dramatically Accelerate Mobile Apps

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Panamorph, Inc. today announced a suite of acquirable proprietary technologies, proposing a fundamental change in how images are delivered over mobile devices. «Images are clearly the bottleneck of bandwidth,» said Shawn Kelly, CEO of Panamorph. «Every day billions of people are zooming on smartphone images so they can see them better, so website and app programmers are sending higher quality images in advance just in…

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Panamorph, Inc. today announced a suite of acquirable proprietary technologies, proposing a fundamental change in how images are delivered over mobile devices. «Images are clearly the bottleneck of bandwidth,» said Shawn Kelly, CEO of Panamorph. «Every day billions of people are zooming on smartphone images so they can see them better, so website and app programmers are sending higher quality images in advance just in case someone zooms, at a significant hit to speed, but with lower quality than what people ultimately want so they don’t totally choke the user experience. It’s a terrible compromise, but that’s where we are today.»

The company’s suite of technologies supports an alternate approach of first delivering bandwidth-limited images with sufficient quality for their initial display. These images are then augmented with progressively higher quality using additional downloaded data as an automated, intelligent reaction to specific user zooming gestures, as guided by learned user desires through data mining of previous interactions.

«The key to all this is to dramatically reduce bandwidth requirements until and unless a higher requirement is indicated by current or historical user actions. Otherwise, if somebody zooms on a single image, then it is a huge waste to improve all the other images on their display, to improve that particular image beyond the quality the user needs, and especially to have initially sent higher quality images in advance just in case they zoom. Reactive mobile zooming is a fantastic tool for taking the bloat out of wireless applications while taking advantage of the data generated by zoom interactions to intelligently anticipate the best experience for the next user.»

The company is offering its suite of patented and patent-pending technologies for sale rather than diverting its current focus. «These technologies all originated from our development of motion picture delivery and display algorithms,» continued Kelly. «But it became immediately obvious that what ended up as reactive mobile zooming would have a huge impact not only on faster content delivery but the whole new world of data mining for AI predictive algorithms, ultimately leading to optimized sales and marketing operations. After all, images are the most immediately engaging content per unit of bandwidth. It only makes sense to start measuring and adapting to those engagements for the benefit of everyone.»

Panamorph, Inc., is the world’s leading and most recommended anamorphic projection lens manufacturer and developer of associated digital video processing algorithms for the distribution and presentation of major motion pictures with a legacy in home cinema soon extending into commercial venues.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Summary:

  • ADLINK and PNY announce collaboration on GPU product portfolios
  • Partnership enables both companies to broaden commercial, embedded, and OEM markets
  • Joint product portfolio includes MXM GPU modules and NVIDIA® Jetson™ Edge AI platform-based solutions

ADLINK Technology Inc., a global leader in edge computing, is pleased to announce a key partnership with PNY Technologies. ADLINK’s Edge AI computing platforms will enhance PNY’s portfolio of AI capable GPU offerings enabling customers to automate and innovate by being closer to their data. ADLINK’s Edge AI platforms integrate hardware acceleration for deep learning workloads and provides end-to-end connectivity to generate the actionable intelligence required to achieve operational improvements, boost performance and improve efficiency. In addition to powerful MXM-based GPUs for embedded systems, the partnership also includes offerings based on the NVIDIA Jetson Edge AI platform.

«PNY enables innovative solution providers to develop and deliver powerful AI, HPC, and visualization (graphics) solutions across all key vertical market segments,» said Steven Kaner, PNY’s Senior VP of sales and marketing. «Complementing NVIDIA Quadro PCIe products with ADLINK’s MXM single board supercomputer, and ruggedized systems suitable for the latest AIoT edge deployments, builds on our strengths. All with the world-class support and service demanded by mission-critical deployments.»

One area of immediate interest is in medical applications. Modern medical practices utilize robotics and automation for standard tasks such as hospital disinfection, delivery of medical resources and care of patients under quarantine. However, productivity can be hindered as systems often operate independently. This is a vital area where ADLINK’s Edge AI platforms can be applied. Communication technologies compatible with Data Distribution Service (DDS) can share data in real-time and carry out collaborative edge computing to decide the best robotic system for a task. This allows the technology to repeatedly recalculate the subsequent schedule and boost the overall efficiency of collaboration. The use of distributed edge computing boosts the quality and stability of the data interface with the medical system to realize a smart data-sharing model for smart medicine – all with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes.    

Distributed AI systems can also realize the infrastructure required for smart cities, including smarter airports (or other types of transportation facilities). Adverse weather conditions such as dense fog or rain often hampers visibility and results in delays and cancellations. Edge technology provides real-time intuitive monitoring and improved visibility at night and during adverse weather.

A major airport with annual traffic of 50 million-passengers has tackled the visibility challenge by developing an enhanced video surveillance system (EVS) to cover any blind spots from the control tower, giving them a panoramic view of the airfield. At the heart of its intelligent EVS system, the airport is deploying ADLINK’s AVA-5500 AI-enabled Video Analytics (AVA) platform with a powerful MXM form factor GPU to analyze every blind spot. Each AVA-5500 connects securely to a group of video input streams, implements advanced graphics and artificial intelligence processing, and uploads the results to backend servers.

«Our exciting new partnership with PNY Technologies will expand our reach to wider commercial, embedded and OEM markets,» commented Elizabeth Campbell, General Manager, ADLINK Americas. «The key focus will be on ADLINK Edge AI solutions such as MXM GPU Modules, AI-enabled solutions based on NVIDIA Jetson platform and Edge AI servers. We look forward to a successful collaboration.»

TEMPE, Ariz, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Sessions College, the pioneer in online skills-based training for adult workers, has been nationally ranked for its affordability by the U.S. Department of Education and for its quality by magazine publisher Graphic Design USA.

In July 2020, for the seventh consecutive year, the U.S. Department of Education ranked tuition for Sessions College degree programs as the tenth lowest in the United States for schools in its category. Student debt is soaring, and, at a time when the digital skills gap is widening, adult workers are increasingly challenged to find affordable, high-quality educational options. According to Student Loan Hero, the average college student graduated in 2018 with $29,800 of private and public loan debt, more than the entire tuition of a Sessions Associate degree program. In contrast, the average student debt for Sessions’ degree programs is less than $8,000 and more than half of all Sessions students (55%) graduate with zero debt.

«At Sessions College, we understand that education is an investment in one’s future, and we’re committed to providing a great return on those educational dollars,» said Doris Granatowski, Sessions CEO. «An affordable program is valuable only if a student receives an education that is respected in the job market and 80% of our graduates land jobs in their field of study – a rate 2.2 times higher than the national average.»

In March 2020, Graphic Design USA, the leading news and information magazine for and about the graphic design community, named Sessions one of its 2020 Top Graphic Design Schools. Sessions is the only fully online school to make the list, where it sits alongside some of the most prestigious schools in the United States including Carnegie Melon, Georgetown University, Parsons New School, Rhode Island School of Design, Yale, Rutgers, and others.

«Our mission has always been student-centric, particularly for the working adult learner,» said Gordon Drummond, President of Sessions College. «We focus on the factors that optimize the student journey and generate provable outcomes and we are very proud to be the only fully online school recognized by Graphic Design USA.»

–Éxito de Celgard en la corte del Reino Unido y se le concede una medida cautelar contra las importaciones de separadores de baterías de Senior en el juicio

CHARLOTTE, Carolina del Norte, 6 de agosto de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Tras la concesión del tribunal de Reino Unido el 7 de mayo de 2020 de una medida cautelar contra Shenzhen Senior Technology Material Co., Ltd. (Senior) como solicitó Celgard, LLC (Celgard), una filial de Polypore International, LP (Polypore), y la orden del tribunal del Reino Unido el 21 de mayo de 2020 que continúa el efecto de la medida cautelar, el tribunal del Reino Unido emitió una Sentencia el 30 de julio de 2020 que otorga un mandamiento judicial a través del juicio y dictará una orden en los términos solicitados por Celgard que bloquea la importación de separadores de batería de Senior en el Reino Unido en el juicio.

Celgard® dry-process coated and uncoated microporous membranes are used as separators in various lithium-ion batteries used primarily in electric drive vehicles (EDV), energy storage systems (ESS) and other specialty applications.

La sentencia del tribunal a favor de Celgard no sólo concedió la medida cautelar contra Senior, sino que también sostuvo que Celgard había establecido una cuestión seria que debía probarse que Senior había utilizado sus secretos comerciales en el desarrollo y la fabricación de separadores de baterías y que Inglaterra era el foro adecuado para la controversia de importación. Celgard tiene la intención de perseguir plenamente su caso de secreto comercial contra Senior.

El 30 de abril de 2020, Celgard presentó una solicitud de medidas cautelares urgente contra Senior en el Tribunal Superior de Justicia en Londres, Inglaterra. El 7 de mayo, en una base ex parte, el tribunal del Reino Unido concedió una medida cautelar para impedir que Senior importara ciertos separadores de baterías en el Reino Unido.

Anteriormente, el 2 de marzo, Celgard presentó una queja contra los demandados Shenzhen Senior Technology Material Co. Ltd. (Senior-China), Shenzhen Senior Technology Material Co. Ltd. (US) Research Institute (Senior-California), Xiaomin (Steven) Zhang, Sun Town Technology, Inc., Global Venture Development, LLC, y Global Venture Development, Inc. (colectivamente, Global Venture) (colectivamente, demandados WDNC) en el Tribunal de Distrito de los Estados Unidos para el Distrito Occidental de Carolina del Norte (WDNC) por la apropiación indebida de secreto comercial , prácticas comerciales desleales y engañosas y competencia desleal, conspiración civil, enriquecimiento injusto y conversión.

Además, Celgard presentó una Segunda Queja Enmendada contra los demandados, incluyendo Shenzhen Senior Technology Material Co. Ltd. (US) Research Institute (Senior-California) y otros (colectivamente, demandados NDCA) por infracción de patentes, incumplimiento de contrato e incumplimiento de pacto implícito de buena fe y trato justo en el Tribunal de Distrito de los Estados Unidos para el Distrito Norte de California (NDCA).

La queja de WDNC alega que los demandados de WDNC, incluyendo a un ex empleado de Celgard, Xiaomin (Steven) Zhang, ahora responsable de tecnología de Senior-China que cambió su nombre a Bin Wang a petición de Senior-China, se apropiaron indebida, intencional e ilegalmente de los secretos comerciales e información confidencial de Celgard y continúan haciéndolo. También se alegan otras violaciones de la ley.

La segunda demanda modificada de NDCA alega que los demandados de NDCA infringen la patente RE47,520 de Estados Unidos de Celgard (la patente ‘520), anteriormente patente de Estados Unidos 6.432.586 (la patente ‘586), y la patente de Estados Unidos No 6.692.867 de Celgard (la patente ‘867). Ver Comunicado.

En diciembre de 2019, Celgard presentó una Primera Queja Enmendada en NDCA que se suma a la demanda de los demandados Farasis, Sun Town y Global Venture. Ver Comunicado. 

En septiembre de 2019, Celgard presentó una demanda contra Senior que vende separadores a nivel mundial que hacen en Shenzhen, China. La queja de Celgard alegaba que Senior había infringido las patentes de Celgard en los Estados Unidos ‘520 y ‘867, y se ha apropiado y ha hecho mal uso ilegalmente de los secretos comerciales y la información confidencial de Celgard, entre otras violaciones y busca una indemnización por daños y perjuicios. Ver Comunicado.

En septiembre de 2019, Celgard resolvió con éxito una demanda por infracción de patente contra Targray International. Ver Comunicado. Celgard también resolvió con éxito dos demandas en junio de 2019, contra MTI Corporation. Ver Comunicado.

El juicio del Reino Unido y el resultado exitoso de los casos Targray y MTI consolidan aún más la integridad de la propiedad intelectual (PI) de Celgard con respecto a los separadores recubiertos y no recubiertos para las baterías de iones de litio. Celgard seguirá impidiendo la explotación injusta de su tecnología y su propiedad intelectual para salvaguardar sus activos y clientes.

HOUSTON, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Model Teaching, a leading online teacher professional development and training platform, is pleased to announce the Online Learning Essentials course bundle designed to help teachers implement full-time or part-time online learning in their classrooms this fall. With the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and potential delays in start dates for live, in-classroom instruction, this training series provides teachers with the necessary tools and strategies to plan and implement virtual learning for their students.

Online learning and the integration of technology in the classroom has been growing in popularity for quite some time, however, with the current pandemic, the reliance on technology in K-12 education has never been greater. These unprecedented circumstances have left many schools and school districts having to quickly prepare their teachers and staff for the complex task of transitioning their well-established live curriculum into a virtual learning environment- while still maintaining high-quality instruction. While convenient in many ways, online learning possesses unique challenges to teachers who are unfamiliar with how to plan and manage online lessons and have limited experience with the vast array of online tools and technological challenges they may often face in implementation. With this in mind, Model Teaching has developed a professional development course series for K-12 teachers, the Online Learning Essentials Course Bundle, to address many of these challenges. Throughout this training series, teachers will learn not only how to transition their current curriculum into an online format but will learn how to embrace many of the advantages of technology-based learning to offer a transformative learning experience for their students. This 4-course series will train teachers on how to plan and deliver high-quality, differentiated lessons online and how to select appropriate platforms for instruction across all grade levels. Teachers will learn how to build a safe and engaging online community and will learn strategies to communicate virtually with students, colleagues, and parents. They will explore how to shift their current instruction and lesson plans towards a continuum of technology integration to truly transform student interaction and learning. With the possibility that many schools will choose to deliver a blended or combined in-class and at-home approach to instruction for the fall, teachers will also be trained on various in-class blended learning modules, and then take a deep- dive into the Flipped Learning (or Flipped Classroom) instructional model, which allows teachers to combine at-home content instruction with rigorous classroom experiences to reinforce student knowledge. Teachers will also receive dozens of tools, templates, and lesson plans to help them implement essential strategies into their own classrooms. All teachers enrolled in the course series will receive individualized feedback and coaching from Model Teaching expert instructors as they put together an implementation plan for their virtual classrooms or blended classrooms.

«We know how busy and hectic preparing for a new school year can be during normal times. With these unprecedented times of change and uncertainty, we wanted to provide training tools for schools and districts to utilize that are directly relevant to the challenges teachers are facing at this moment in time. Our instructors have spent most of the summer developing a comprehensive training program that we hope will help teachers not only be prepared but ready to excel this year.» –Wendy Lipe, Lead Project Manager.

LAS VEGAS, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Dr. Michael Ruscio refuted false claims on the amount of clinical data and effectiveness of probiotics made by «experts» on a recent edition of 60 Minutes in his latest blog.

In the 60 Minutes segment titled Do Probiotics Actually Do Anything? several experts blatantly disregarded clinical evidence supporting many of the claims about probiotics which they deemed false.

Disappointed in the misinformation being spread by one of the most influential television platforms in history, Dr. Ruscio took to his platform to set the record straight and provide research-backed data to refute the claims.

With a background as a Doctor of both Natural Medicine and Chiropractic, clinical researcher, author, committee member of the Naturopathic Board of Gastroenterology research division, and having been in peer-reviewed medical journals, Dr. Ruscio was able to compile years of reputable research to back his refutation of the claims made on probiotics.

Dr. Michael Ruscio, DNM, DC says, «Supplement companies making misleading claims is a serious issue that needs to be addressed, however in this case, 60 Minutes portrayed many truthful claims about probiotics as misleading. This could lead to unneeded suffering by those who stand to benefit from this safe, natural and inexpensive therapy.»

Ensuring that all of the content shared on his platform is evidence based, Dr. Ruscio breaks down the claims made on 60 Minutes and provided additional scientific evidence to support his refutation.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — DoorDash, the nation’s leading last-mile logistics platform, today announced that it will be hosting its first-ever merchant conference, The Main Street Strong Restaurant Conference, in partnership with the National Restaurant Association. Designed for local business owners, the event aims to bring together a community of restaurant leaders to collaborate with, learn from and inspire one another during the most challenging time in the restaurant industry’s history.

The National Restaurant Association will partner with DoorDash to create the event, bringing decades of experience working directly with local restaurants and advancing the causes of restaurateurs at a local and national level.

«The restaurant industry has suffered the most significant sales and job losses since the COVID-19 outbreak began. Events like these are important for restauranteurs to know that they are not alone, and we’ve found that engagement at this level can help inspire other businesses to change course, pivot and adapt in new ways while fostering a deeper sense of community,» said Perry Quinn, Senior Vice President, Business Innovation Development at the National Restaurant Association.

The event will feature a conversation with Stephanie Izard, Executive Chef/Partner of four Chicago restaurants: Girl & the Goat, Little Goat, Duck Duck Goat, and Cabra, James Beard «Best Chef: Great Lakes» recipient 2013, and the first woman to win Top Chef. Bringing nearly two decades of restaurant leadership experience, Chef Izard has first hand experience helping her six businesses adapt to the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

«The full impact of coronavirus on local restaurants has yet to be realized. Every day, restaurants face uncertainty as they continue to tirelessly serve their customers. In addition to ensuring we are providing the best tools and technologies for restaurants to accelerate into this new reality, we want to provide a sense of community for our restaurant partners and to do that we want to host a forum where restaurant owners can learn directly from each other about adapting during this time,» said Tom Pickett, Chief Revenue Officer at DoorDash. «We haven’t stopped asking ourselves what more we can be doing to help restaurants survive and this event aims to not only inspire restaurants during a critical time but to inspire us to better help one another navigate through this time together.»

The all-day, virtual event will feature keynotes, multiple tracks with breakout sessions, and round table discussions all designed to set up restaurants for success during an unprecedented time:

  • Stephanie Izard, Executive Chef/Partner, Girl & the Goat, Little Goat, Duck Duck Goat, and Cabra
  • Tanya Holland, Chef & Restaurateur, Brown Sugar Kitchen
  • Chef David Nayfeld, Che Fico
  • Tony Xu, Chief Executive Officer of DoorDash
  • ….and more to come!

At the height of the pandemic, DoorDash helped restaurants save $120 million through relief programs and marketing initiatives. Restaurants on DoorDash are four times more likely to have remained open during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to U.S. restaurants as a whole*. More recently, DoorDash unveiled its Main Street Strong campaign, dedicated to helping restaurants navigate the recovery phase of coronavirus with all new policies, programs and initiatives to help restaurants get back on their feet such as DoorDash Storefront. And last week, DoorDash announced its support for the RESTAURANTS ACT, a bipartisan proposal to establish a $120 billion Revitalization Fund for independent restaurants across the U.S.
