Palo Alto, CA, August 14, 2013 --(PR.com)-- SteamWarShip Studio, the developer of this game, has made a certain breakthrough in the genre of arcade games.

The recent update significantly increased the number of levels and now the players can enjoy 42 great levels. Besides new quests, items, bricks and bosses are added and the number of levels will increase with upcoming updates.

According to the storyline, the main character, a scientist, tries to warn people about an imminent threat and to save his father who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. He sets off to fight with aliens who are planning to destroy the planet. During his trip he finds a crashed dirigible and tries to repair it. The mission is to save the planet with the help of main character.

Let’s look at the game in more detail. The main menu has three options: play, shop and settings. In the settings menu you can choose sensitivity, sound/music. In the game shop there are upgrades for each platform, ball and energy recovery. All these enhancements can be bought with the coins collected during gameplay. Also coins can be bought for cash.

To pass the levels, one needs to bounce the ball with the help of the platform that is moving via touching and destroying the blocks. The goal is to get rid of these blocks and pick up a necessary element. The level can't be completed without this element. All these boosts and coins fall at random.

Leeds, United Kingdom, August 14, 2013 --(PR.com)-- eUKhost Ltd., a leading UK web hosting provider for over 11 years, is pleased to introduce their new solution; Disaster Recovery as a Service on eNlight Cloud. eNlight Cloud has already established itself as an highly innovative, auto-scaling cloud platform, and with DR service on eNlight, its versatility increases even further. Disaster Recovery as a Service is based on cloud computing architecture, a solution ideal for SMBs and Organizations where cost of DR solution is a concern.

According to Mr. Robert King, the MD of eUKhost - “Many small/ medium businesses (SMBs) lack the budget for their own Disaster Recovery site, but still need a solution that's just as responsive and resilient as their primary site. In today’s highly competitive scenario, even SMBs need to be up and running after a disaster just as rapidly as any enterprise organization as their businesses also rely on online presence. Unfortunately, most traditional DR services are unaffordable for them as they come either at very high cost as they require exactly the same hardware setup at the DR and the main site. This effectively means that the investment in DR site is equivalent to that in main site. Some DR services come with weak guarantees about the amount of data lost or time required to resume operation after a failure.”

According to the company, the need of a disaster recovery plan is critical these days for organization of any size and type with companies relying on a massive amount of data to run their businesses, storing it longer and retrieving it as needed. This dependency of organizations over the Internet and online business convenience underlines the need of an effective DR plan.

DRaaS on eNlight Cloud comes with some unique features which offer huge benefits in comparison to traditional DR setups:-
1. Significant Cost Savings, as DR setup is fully used, and hence fully paid for, only in case of a disaster.
2. Allows aggressive recovery time objectives (RTO)
3. Stringent recovery points (RPO) can be set ensure minimal or no data loss
4. Unmatched Flexibility in terms of cost and utility

Mr. Robert King adds further, "The sheer dependence of business on online data created a need for a business continuity strategy that will ensure uninterrupted operation and create a competitive advantage for growth opportunities. The “DRaaS on eNlight Cloud” service brings that flexibility, scalability, and rapid provisioning to help accomplish those needs."

Québec, Canada, August 14, 2013 --(PR.com)-- As civil unrest rises across the globe, the technology offered by leading surveillance system manufacturers such as Obzerv Technologies, Inc. is becoming an increasingly important security tool for police forces. The company’s ARGC-2400 long range camera system equips police teams with the surveillance capacity to monitor civilian protests and identify assailants who may cause harm to the general public, at long distances.

The advantage of the ARGC-2400’s long range camera system capacity is that it enables the solution to be installed on high buildings. This means that the long range camera system is less invasive than dome cameras, which are now found at street corners and near important highways or buildings across the globe. In addition to their ARGC-2400 stationary surveillance system, Obzerv Technologies, Inc. also offers their portable surveillance system, the ARGC-750 camera system, which is based on the same technology as the previous, called active range-gating. This system allows mobile teams to prepare easily during their intervention activities, such as demonstrations and event’s surveillance.

The ARGC-750 is ideal for applications such as investigations and perimeter surveillance. It’s a camera system that teams can use to read license plates at a distance of up to 500m away and conduct human identification from a distance of up to 1km away. Therefore the ARGC long range camera system supports effective monitoring of crowds within demonstrations and allows for a constant flow of videos and images to be viewed at a control center far from the location. Many high quality images taken by the ARGC long range camera systems have been used to assess and identify the threat sooner.

Craiova, Romania, August 14, 2013 --(PR.com)-- EduLib, a privately held software development company from Craiova, Romania, announces the release of Muse Proxy 3.0. This is the first product of a series that will come from EduLib's new Education and Library Information Discovery suite.

Muse Proxy is a highly customizable multi-platform proxy server, easy to use and configure, acting successfully as a gateway to authenticated restricted content, rewriting web server, Web Access Management (WAM), proxy server and reverse proxy. It has been used for more than 10 years within the Muse Federated Search Platform to manage the authentication to resources and the navigation to full text, by restoring the server session on end-user browser. Starting with this version Muse Proxy is also commercialized as a stand-alone product.

Dr. Peter Noerr (1946-2013), MuseGlobal's Chief Technology Officer explains: "Muse Proxy is a 'rewriting proxy', and offers an alternative solution that eliminates the need to configure individual browsers, further reducing the burden on system administrators."

The major new feature in Muse Proxy 3.0 is the support for Muse Proxy Applications. Muse Proxy Applications provide a fully configurable interface allowing administrators to setup remote or local Data Sources ("Sources") and where end users enjoy a single sign-on for all of the subscribed data. Library Administrators can add Sources to the Muse Proxy Application depending of licensing rights. Each Source stores the necessary code and credentials to get to the target Data Source. In this way, Muse Proxy enables end users to reach all configured targets with a single sign-on and conceals target authentication credentials. Muse Proxy Applications can use configurable login modules such as: User/Password, IP, LDAP, IMAP, SQL, FTP, Custom or any combination.

"Muse Proxy is Your Gateway to the World! It is everybody's outer and inner world. It summarizes almost everything a library, company or university needs to connect to external as well as internal resources. Its excellent user access and resources management make the product very reliable and trustworthy," said Mihai Popa, CEO at EduLib.

Muse Proxy 3.0 has also many other features like: end users can now access Muse Proxy using HTTPS, the HTTPS sites can be rewritten, the overall visual interface was improved, the documentation was extended with new information and workflow graphics and many more. Improvements were done to the Muse Proxy Administrator Console too, such as, implemented friendly edit panels, updated interface for better display and more functionality, improved help sections.

The new features and updates offered by Muse Proxy 3.0 are available from EduLib at http://www.edulib.com/products/muse-proxy/.

"The features of this product, starting from the multiple IPs feature, which excludes the need of many physical machines, to the intelligent page rewriting using proprietary strategies make this product a state of the art of its kind. This allows web sites URLs to be rewritten without special coding, including JavaScript and CSS resources. The HTTP Cookies returned by the target server in the Set-Cookie HTTP header are also managed by the Muse Navigation Manager in an automatic manner without the administrator intervention. Muse Navigation Manager can be used for session replication and full-text navigation, inter-domain connectivity and accessing authenticated resources," said David Dascalescu, CTO at EduLib.

Laguna Hills, CA, August 14, 2013 --(PR.com)-- California-based company SpotSync has launched a new web-based point of sale (POS) system that could revolutionize the way businesses keep track of their finances. Focusing primarily on franchises, the software is a cloud-based solution that replaces the common hassle of installing, servicing and reconciling a separate POS system for each separate franchise location. Because all information is uploaded to the cloud, the owner has the ability to make changes to the inventory for one or more stores, pull reports and distribute databases to all locations simultaneously. What's more, the software has the ability to be used whether the Internet is working or not, and it also offers the option for 24/7 tech support. With the ability to be used on any computer or tablet (and soon smartphones), SpotSync is poised to become an indispensable asset to any owner with a sales-based business.

Like many companies that have great solutions to real problems, SpotSync needed an efficient way to explain their product and to show business owners how they would benefit from switching to their solution. That's when they turned to Fire Starter Videos, a Hollywood-based animation studio that specializes in helping companies explain what they do using the power of animated videos.

CEO Michael Fitchett says, "With so many incredibly useful attributes, we really needed a clear, memorable way to show people exactly what SpotSync is capable of doing for a business. Our product essentially gets rid of the time-consuming process of individually updating each separate franchise, and our video really illustrates how much time and effort an owner could save if they sign up with us."

To sign up for a free 30-day trial of SpotSync and find out more, please visit: www.spotsync.com.

Fire Starter Videos make all kinds of animated videos from whiteboard animation videos, to animated cartoon videos to videos that demonstrate software.

About TUT
In its logo, the Tshwane University of Technology claims that “we empower people” thus committing itself to the concepts of Diversity, Ethics, Relevance, Entrepreneurship, Care, Partnerships, Professionalism and lastly, Quality.

TUT awards qualifications from national diploma level through to bachelor of technology degrees. Students may also continue with postgraduate studies towards master’s degrees and doctorates.

Why choose a University of Technology?
One of the strong features of obtaining a qualification at a university of technology, is the specialization in a chosen field. Furthermore entrepreneurship carries a lot of weight in the students’ education, since they are taught new ways of thinking and approaching their careers to become job creators rather than job seekers in the market,

It is a fact that South Africa is still in dire need of people suitably qualified in science, engineering and technology, the so-called SET courses. TUT offers numerous courses in these fields. But apart from academic qualifications, the university also offers programmes to equip students with specific skills to prepare them for the world of work. Some of these programmes especially those aimed at improving communication, writing, reading and interpersonal skills, form part of their academic programme.

TUT is divided into seven faculties:
- Faculty of Economics and Finance
- Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment
- Faculty of Humanities
- Faculty of Information and Communication Technology
- Faculty of Management Sciences
- Faculty of Science
- Faculty of the Arts

At TUT the emphasis is on:
- Cutting edge technology
- Innovation through to commercialization
- Problem-solving skills
- Research and Innovation
- Partnerships and networks
- Technological incubators, technology stations, centres and institutes
- Community engagement

Pasadena, CA, August 14, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Able-HD, a technology start-up whose first offering is a lightweight, portable HD monitor, reaped enough backing on Kickstarter to exceed its initial goal, in just hours of project launch. The portable HD monitor for laptops and smartphones is gaining impressive support, currently boasting 360 backers on the popular crowdfunding website. With 23 campaign days left, Able-HD feels encouraged about reaching its stretch goal, and ultimately bringing the monitor to production.

Starting as a personal DIY project, Nell Vh, thought leader and concept creator, created Able-HD because of his own use of multiple monitors to help with productivity on a daily basis. “I think you’ll find, most people are like me when it comes to using multiple monitors, or gadgets, in the work place,” says Rona. “PC shipments are decreasing, target sales are not being met, etc. Today, most people choose to use a laptop, tablet or other gadgets - including me.”

While laptops are portable, there is currently no convenient way to travel with multiple monitors. This void in the marketplace led Vh to create a slimmer 17” LED monitor, with 1080p resolution, that can be connected to any laptop, making it convenient to use while traveling. Not only is this HD monitor great for increasing productivity while away from the office, the device can also be connected to a smartphone, giving gaming advocates and movie buffs an opportunity to view their favorite games or movies on a larger screen, even on the go.

As of today, Able-HD has ­­­$39,816 in funding. The project has been ranked on the Kickstarter Hot List, according to Kickstarter tracking site, Kicktraq. The campaign has 23 more days live and the company hopes to achieve additional funding for the project during the remaining time.

“I could never have imagined the amazing support from the Kickstarter community,” said Vh. “Knowing that so many people are intrigued by the product, means there is a definite need in the marketplace, and I am humbled to provide it.”

If interested in supporting this Kickstarter hopeful, multiple reward levels are being offered:
$35: 1 unit of Adapter mainboard + charger.
$95: Early Bird of 1 set of Able-HD Prototype series.
$110: 1 set of Able HD Prototype series.
$130: 1 set of Able-HD Prototype series + Custom Size of LED Screen.

Due to the overwhelming response to the campaign, Able-HD has just added a stretch goal. If the campaign reaches $75,000, all backers who pledge $135.00 or more, will receive a limited edition gift.

REDWOOD SHORES, CA--(Marketwired - August 16, 2013) - AutoGrid Systems, a leader in Big Data analytics for the energy industry, announced that its flagship software application, Demand Response Optimization and Management System (DROMS), and its embedded OpenDR Server 2.0 have been certified for full compliance with the OpenADR 2.0b profile specification.

AutoGrid's OpenDR Server2.0 is available both as a standalone VTN server as well as integrated within DROMS, a turnkey, software-based demand response solution. The OpenADR2.0b compliant DROMS application is immediately available worldwide in multiple time zones and locales. The cloud-based OpenDR Server 2.0 is also available for integration into other third party applications through its web-based APIs providing a cost-effective mechanism for service providers to offer support for OpenADR communications in existing systems.

AutoGrid's DROMS system is the only demand response and dynamic price program management system that can simultaneously support connections to devices supporting OpenADR1.0, OpenADR2.0a, OpenADR2.0b, Smart Energy Profile 2.0 and a number of other proprietary and legacy protocols across the Internet or Smart Meter networks. DROMS provides a seamless upgrade path for utilities and services providers to move to the more powerful OpenADR2.0 standard without creating stranded assets from their existing DR programs that utilize older technologies. DROMS also provides more flexibility to our customers' customers to be able to choose the device they want, boosting both the adoption rates, and end-user satisfaction and participation levels when they participate in demand response.

"AutoGrid's DROMS is the only 100% hardware-vendor neutral demand response server in the market today," said Dr. Amit Narayan, AutoGrid's CEO. "AutoGrid doesn't build or sell hardware of its own, which means that our ecosystem partners can work with us as they bring their hardware and service offerings to the market assured that we will not compete with them by offering overlapping products," said Dr. Amit Narayan.

AutoGrid's technology is already compatible with software, and hardware based on either OpenADR 1.0 or OpenADR 2.0a and other legacy and proprietary technologies from over 100 companies. By providing a unified view of all resources available to utilities and service providers across their residential, commercial and industrial programs, DROMS is able to achieve higher yield from these programs and enable them to seamlessly transition to the latest standards.

"As an Alliance Board Member, AutoGrid is at the forefront of the creation of an open standards based ecosystem that benefits all players," said Rolf Bienert Technical Director, OpenADR Alliance. "Using a standardized platform, utilities and their customers can much more readily access technology that will continue to further the growth of demand response and energy efficiency markets."

Fujitsu's (PINKSHEETS: FJTSY) VEN also received the OpenADR 2.0b certification. AutoGrid's VTN server was able to send signals to Fujitsu's VEN, demonstrating interoperability.

"AutoGrid has created a software tool that provides value and compatibility with an increasingly important standard," said Dr. Ulrich Herberg, Researcher at Fujitsu Laboratories of America Solutions for Electricity Distribution Networks. "We are thrilled to be leading the market with cutting edge standards together."

DROMS is transforming the DR market by replacing proprietary infrastructure with open standards based software delivered through an ultra-scalable, highly secure, and reliable cloud-based service. DROMS cuts the cost of implementing demand response programs by up to 90 percent while increasing the "yield" in electrical power by 30 percent or more. Additionally, DROMS can fine-tune power consumption continually, not just during peak power events. It has been tested to simultaneously support over one million OpenADR clients, making it the only software solution that can be deployed equally effectively for small pilots as well as large-scale deployments across residential, industrial and commercial customers. Last week, Austin Energy also announced the first live field implementation of OpenADR2.0 standard using AutoGrid's DROMS system.

"AutoGrid's decision to embrace OpenADR 2.0b is further evidence of the value of this open standard to multiple stakeholders. As OpenADR 2.0b gains momentum national and internationally, companies like AutoGrid will continue to make automated demand response more pervasive and cost effective," said OpenADR pioneer Mary Ann Piette, Research Director, Demand Response Research Center, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
