CHICAGO, Oct. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — CTEK’s new PRO25S innovative, versatile, and highly efficient 25-amp battery charger and power supply is now available at www.smartercharger.com. The PRO25S combines power and advanced technology with safety, portability, and flexibility to work with any 12V vehicle battery, including lithium (LiFePO4, Li-Fe, Li-iron, LFP).

Workshop technicians and owners know modern vehicles are electronically complex. A battery failure during a standard vehicle service can severely affect workshop efficiency, reputation, and profit.

Electronic systems on today’s vehicles run everything from power windows to brake control modules. ECUs serve as computers controlling one or more electrical systems in a vehicle and some cars may have as many as 80 ECUs. All of those ECU systems rely on a vehicle’s battery, which makes battery health critical, and steady voltage is crucial. A voltage drop during vehicle service, diagnostic or re-programming work can corrupt ECU software and cost thousands if an ECU is damaged or destroyed.

In direct response to the changing demands of the professional workshop, CTEK has introduced the PRO25S, which supports the battery and protects sensitive electronics during vehicle service and diagnostic work. The advanced technology of the PRO25S ensures a safe, fast charge is delivered to exactly meet the needs of the individual battery. The PRO25S has a dedicated lead-acid battery reconditioning program to restore battery life and recondition flat batteries.

A supply mode supports the battery during diagnostic or fault-finding work, which means you can do the necessary repairs, modifications, or upgrades without worrying about costly or time-consuming ECU repair or reprogramming. A built-in temperature sensor ensures maximum charger efficiency.

The PRO25S has low voltage and current ripple, so it’s safe for the battery and the vehicle’s delicate and crucial electronic systems. Fully automatic and easy to use, it’s also simple to connect, spark proof and reverse-polarity protected for the safety of the user and the battery.

The PRO25S is lightweight and portable, but the rugged, impact-resistant case means it can also handle the toughest workshop environment.

To further meet workshop demands, CTEK’s PRO25SE is also available. Offering the same advanced battery charging and power supply capabilities as the PRO25S, the SE version includes 19.6-foot cables and a wall-mount and bracket.

«The PRO25S and PRO25E are the perfect solutions for battery charging in the professional workshop,» said Bobbie DuMelle, executive vice president of CTEK North America. «At CTEK, ‘Maximizing Battery Performance’ isn’t just our slogan, it’s at the heart of everything we do.»

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) today introduced the industry’s first automotive gigabit Ethernet PHY solution with integrated media access control security (MACsec) technology for secure point to point communication. With nearly a billion connected cars projected to be on the road by 2030, the integration of security becomes an important factor in tomorrow’s vehicles. MACsec technology fortifies in-vehicle networking by securing data exchange on a hop-by-hop basis and prevents Layer 2 security threats such as intrusion, man-in-the-middle, and replay attacks. Marvell’s new Open Alliance TC10 compliant, dual speed 100/1000 BASE-T1 88Q222xM Ethernet PHY enables energy efficient, secure in-vehicle networks and assists in achieving functional safety compliance at the system level.

Automotive networks rely heavily on partial networking in which some segments are hibernated and woken up on demand. Marvell’s new gigabit PHY supports the Open Alliance TC10 for sleep mode and wake-up, tailored for automotive use cases. TC10 control signals are sent over the data line and minimize the need for special cables for remote control of the PHY states. Rapid electrification of vehicles has resulted in reduced power budget for each component. As the industry’s lowest power gigabit Ethernet PHY and with support of TC10, Marvell’s 88Q222xM aids tier1s and OEMs to design energy efficient in-vehicle network architectures.

«Marvell is committed to developing innovative solutions for the automotive market and offers the industry’s largest portfolio of secure Ethernet switches and PHYs,» said Amir Bar-Niv, vice president of Marketing of the Automotive Business Unit at Marvell. «We are extremely proud to introduce the industry’s first automotive gigabit Ethernet PHY that integrates Layer 2 security through MACsec while also delivering best-in-class lower power performance that meets the most stringent power budget. Marvell’s 88Q222x solution is based on the Automotive QMS Process and comes with functional safety collateral assisting tier-1s and OEMs in fulfilling ISO 26262 at a system level.»

«With ever increasing data and intelligence in the connected cars, the need for comprehensive cyber security solutions is essential,» said Dr. Lars Völker, technical fellow at Technica Engineering. «MACsec IEEE 802.1AE effectively implements a layer of security for increasing bandwidth needs, while keeping the system deterministic and the complexity at a minimum allowing OEMs to build fast starting systems without the dependencies of the communication stack. Marvell’s 88Q222xM Ethernet PHY product family with MACsec security allows us to build leading evaluation platforms and test tools for automotive OEMs who are evaluating MACsec on different speed grades.»

«The rapid evolution of consumer devices is driving more and more features into today’s cars, at an ever-increasing pace, resulting in a need for increased network bandwidth, lower latency and higher connectivity between vehicle ECUs. The current mix of vehicle networks simply cannot scale to these requirements and therefore we are seeing a megatrend towards homogenous Ethernet-based in-vehicle networks,» said Ian Riches, vice president of Automotive Practice, & Director Strategy Analytics Ltd. «These will also help implement the energy efficiency and cyber security features that will be needed. It is therefore exciting to see the integration of Open Alliance TC10 and MACsec in Marvell’s new third-generation PHY, as it provides a path to speed the implementation of tomorrow’s in-vehicle networks.»

As automotive networks are required to work in noisy environments, devices must be able to work together without interference. All components on the network should meet the electromagnetic interference/electromagnetic compatibility (EMI/EMC) requirements in accordance with the Open Alliance TC12. As Marvell’s third-generation gigabit PHY, 88Q222xM is built on proven automotive architectures that deliver best-in-class EMI/EMC performance.

Six Common Mistakes Travelers Make When Renewing Their Passports

NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The U.S. Department of State just announced it has resumed expedited passport services. But do not misunderstand. At this point, expedited services only guarantee passport processing in four to six weeks. Anything faster than that, and you’ll need a life or death emergency to get a passport or renewal processed within a matter of days.

Avoid these common mistakes, which can cost you hundreds of dollars when renewing your passport.

Many are anxious to travel and bookings are up to destinations in the Caribbean and Mexico, which are presently open to American travelers. But you’ll need a current passport to travel outside of the United States. To help the wanderers among us, passport and travel expert David Alwadish, founder of The ItsEasy Passport App, shares the six most common mistakes travelers make when renewing their passports.

  1. Waiting too long to begin the renewal process
  2. Paying for poor quality passport photos
  3. Disrespecting the signature
  4. Skating on shipping
  5. Not adding a passport card
  6. Overpaying for third-party services

Waiting too long to begin the renewal process
Despite news of resuming four to six week expedited services, the Department of State is still working through a backlog of hundreds of thousands of passports. Beginning the renewal process early will not only give you peace of mind and ensure you have documents in hand, but will also save you the $60 government fee the Department of State charges for expedited services. It is crucial you begin the renewal process at least 12 weeks before your scheduled departure date.

A little-known rule, a U.S. passport must be valid for at least six months beyond a traveler’s scheduled return date to the United States to be valid for departure. One of the most common reasons travelers are turned away at the airport and left behind is because they are still not aware of this strict travel rule. Make it easy on yourself and download the free ItsEasy Passport App to set complementary reminder notifications and keep track of just one passport or the entire family’s.  

Paying for poor quality passport photos
Submitting an inferior photo is the number one reason passport applications are rejected. Not all photos are accepted, even if you pay to have them taken at a drugstore or post office. The ItsEasy Passport App allows you to take photos from the safety of your own home, right from your device. The app provides tips for taking a good photo at home and the ItsEasy staff scrutinizes every photo before it is submitted and they are always included as complimentary with each renewal order.  

Disrespecting the signature
The signature on your passport is critical in nature and should be taken seriously. Passport applications are often rejected for using initials, computer generated signatures or sloppy marks in the signature line. The Department of State prefers to see a full signature of your first and last name. If your signature has changed dramatically over the years or if you are no longer able to sign your name as you once did, you should consider submitting proof of a similar mark found on another official document and include it with your application along with a signed note of explanation. ItsEasy staff checks every application for perfect entries. 

Skating on shipping
Do not make the mistake of skimping on shipping when you put passport documents in the mail. Be sure to get a shipping label and receipt that allows you to track the package. This recommendation is even stated directly on the passport application. Using the ItsEasy Passport app to renew your passport includes prepaid trackable shipping labels for sending and receiving.

Not adding the passport card to your renewal application 
For just a $30 government fee, travelers can add a REAL-ID Passport Card to their application, which can be used in lieu of the traditional passport book when traveling to Mexico and Canada by car, to the Caribbean by boat or a standard driver’s license when traveling domestically. The Passport Card is valid for 10 years, is the size of a standard credit card and it does not display your address, protecting your privacy while traveling. The passport card is also REAL-ID compliant, and all travelers will be required to have a REAL-ID to fly domestically beginning October 2021. It is the best $30 you will spend.

Overpaying for third-party services
Traveler Beware! This mistake can cost you hundreds of dollars. Many third-party services charge more than $250 in additional fees just to help process a standard passport renewal. If you have a life and death emergency or need to renew your passport immediately, those fees soar to $399, none of which include government fees. Many of these services also include policies that do not allow cancellation once you realized you’re overpaying.

The five-star rated ItsEasy Passport App provides photos, trackable shipping and complementary full review of all documents for just $34.95. The all-inclusive app is the safest, convenient and most affordable way to renew your passport and prepare for upcoming travel.

«After 40 plus years in this business, I know the Passport & Visa industry inside and out and there is absolutely nothing during this pandemic, except greed, that could justify charging a consumer fee of $271.95 (without photos) for the same service I offer on my Covid-Safe, ItsEasy App for just $34.95, which includes photos safely taken at home.»

Currently, given the severe worldwide impact of the Covid-19 Virus, the Department of State is appropriately assisting only those applicants with serious life & death emergencies. At Alwadish’s direction, ItsEasy Customer Service Representatives are available live and answering phones 24/7, to volunteer the company’s services to assist applicants in emotional stress and in need of an emergency passport. Other companies are charging $399 for emergency services.
