Mobile Cloud Services Innovator Soonr Chosen as Finalist in MobileMonday Mobile Peer Awards Competition

Soonr, an innovator in mobile cloud services, has been chosen as a finalist in the MobileMonday Mobile Peer Awards and will present on stage at the GSMA World Congress in Barcelona on February 16.

Campbell, CA (PRWEB) January 29, 2009 -- Soonr, an innovator in mobile cloud services (http://public.soonr.com/home.html), has been chosen as a finalist in the MobileMonday Mobile Peer Awards and will present on stage at the GSMA World Congress in Barcelona on February 16.

Soonr was one of 20 finalists chosen from 163 entries submitted by MobileMonday chapters around the world, and is one of only three finalists from the United States. MobileMonday is a global community focusing on sharing knowledge and connecting innovators in mobile technology across all sectors of the industry and throughout the world. Their annual Mobile Peer Awards is a highly anticipated competition and event.

Earlier this month, Soonr introduced world's first iPhone application that uses the power of cloud computing to keep business people in touch with their documents anywhere they go. A free version is available from the Apple App Store (http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/browserRedirect?url=itms%253A%252F%252Fax.itunes.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewSoftware%253Fid%253D300369752%2526mt%253D8) with expanded versions offered through leading mobile operators and SaaS providers.

A video demonstration of Soonr for the iPhone is available here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lc_oeJrHH8)

Soonr makes the documents on your Mac or PC completely mobile. Whenever your computer is online, Soonr automatically and instantly backs up your files in your "personal cloud," making them always available to you. iPhone users get a crisp, clear view of all their documents - whether they are Word, Excel, PowerPoint or virtually any other file type - along with the ability to collaborate and share, and even print to a remote printer right from their iPhones.

All of Soonr's capabilities are available to you, even when host computers are sleeping or powered off. As a bonus, since Soonr continuously and securely backs up your documents to your personal cloud, they are easily restored in case of computer failure or loss.

VISTAGY's Revenues Climb 30 Percent in 2008 in Spite of Challenging Economic Environment

VISTAGY's Revenues Climb 30 Percent in 2008 in Spite of Challenging Economic Environment

Premier provider of specialized engineering software thrives due to customer-centric approach and preeminent position in aerospace engineering solutions

Waltham, MA (Vocus) January 29, 2009 -- VISTAGY, Inc. (http://www.vistagy.com/), a leading global provider of specialized engineering software, today announced that its revenue increased 30 percent over 2008 in spite of the systemic problems in the badly slumping worldwide economy. Fueling that growth was a robust 52 percent increase in product revenue.

The company aims to build on that success in 2009 by continuing to forge close relationships with its customers, expanding its commitment to the emerging aerospace markets in Russia, Asia Pacific and India, and increasing its share of the aerospace, automotive, transportation interiors and the fast-growing wind energy markets.

"We were particularly strong in the fourth quarter when the economy was significantly deteriorating, proving that our products are especially relevant when it is critical to achieve increased efficiency and associated cost savings," said Steve Luby, president and CEO of VISTAGY.

"We focus on partnering closely with customers to develop and deploy design methodologies tailored to their specific products and processes. I think that had a lot to do with our success in 2008. Our software not only enables customers to more efficiently design and manufacture some of the world's most complex products, but our customers have reported that the knowledge, experience and responsiveness of the people at VISTAGY are also critical factors in their success."

In 2008, VISTAGY continued to support the expansion of the aerospace industry to emerging markets while maintaining its strong position in North America and Europe by partnering with premier sales and service providers, such as CSM Vigyan in India, Innovation Technologies and Solutions (ITS) in Russia and INCAT in North America. VISTAGY also signed a variety of customers in Russia and China that are using VISTAGY's FiberSIM® composites engineering software (http://www.vistagy.com/products/fibersim-composite-environments.aspx) and Airframe Development Environments™ (http://www.vistagy.com/products/airframe-development-environments.aspx) aircraft assembly software to reduce product development cycles, enhance product quality and meet aggressive delivery schedules.

Another source of growth for VISTAGY in 2008 was its Seat Design Environment™ (http://www.vistagy.com/products/seating-environments.aspx) (SDE) software. VISTAGY signed a number of new customers, including Faurecia, the eighth-largest automotive supplier in the world. Faurecia purchased SDE for use in its engineering operations in the United States as well as Europe. While the initial purchase of SDE will be used to enhance the engineering of seat trim in automotive interiors, the companies plan to work together to improve software applications and related engineering methodologies for designing and manufacturing foam, seat assemblies and entire automotive interiors.

"At one time, CAD was the first and last word in design," said Mr. Luby. "But as firms have strived to design and manufacture more complex and integrated components and assemblies and use new materials and processes, they have discovered the need for complementary, specialized engineering tools that enable them to design better products faster. We look forward to helping our customers succeed by doing just that in 2009."

For almost 20 years, VISTAGY has developed, sold and supported solutions that enable engineers to capture complete virtual product definitions, facilitating automatic reuse of engineering information and efficient communication across the enterprise and supply chain.

Sagoon, a New Web Search Engine, Launches Beta Version

Sagoon, a New Web Search Engine, Launches Beta Version

A new search engine that integrates, processes, and provides information in the most user-friendly way, aims to attract users in a unique way.

(PRWEB) January 29, 2009 -- Sagoon, (sagoon.com) based in Washington DC, has released the beta version of its new search engine (www.sagoon.com) for public testing.

The Internet is reaching more and more people every day. Millions of people visit it every second to contribute information or to search for it. Surfing the Internet has become a part of most everyone's daily routine. There is an increasing demand to provide information on the Web in innovative and user-friendly ways, as well as to provide businesses the opportunity to flourish online in the most cost-effective manner. Sagoon was founded by two IT professionals Mr. Govinda Giri and Mr. Shiba Dhakal with the purpose of fulfilling these goals.

The key idea behind the Sagoon technology - "Random Vector Model" - is to promote semantic search over the regular lexical search to provide more meaningful information to users. This is done by analyzing the content of Web data and news documents to find out hidden similarities among them. The implementation of "semantic analysis" requires a series of algorithms and mathematical calculations.

The Sagoon results cover a number of resources for variety in results. The results are obtained from a combination of Sagoon's index, Yahoo Boss, and some of the larger search companies in the online information industry. Search results organized by ideas and concepts provide results based on Web page content analysis. Search results also offer organized features such as tabs to clarify subjects, news display groups, and the most relevant queries to explore more topics. This helps in guiding the users to the desired results with just one mouse click.

Sagoon's various services like Web search (www.sagoon.com), News Search, Video Search, and Directory and Classifieds are new approaches towards storing resources and information from all over the world. Sagoon is also in the process of developing other niche products with innovative business ideas and approaches which have not been seen on the market yet.

"We are planning an aggressive growth for the company and its technology so that we can continue providing the best search experience on the Web," says Govinda Giri, founder and chief of Sagoon Inc. "I have a dream of making Sagoon a world class search engine with different user experiences. This beta marks our first step towards eventually creating a different direction in searching the Web."

Elixir Web Solutions, a New Delhi based interactive media and Technology Company was selected to develop Sagoon's technology. "Our company was selected to execute this highly ambitious project and our team has lived up to Mr. Giri's expectations in developing a world class search engine. In fact, the portal is much more than just a search engine and the product also contains a series of sections. In executing this project, we have got a good opportunity to demonstrate our technical expertise and for continued development, there are many more exciting features lined up for Sagoon. Mr. Giri has great vision and I believe Sagoon has the potential to become market leader" - said Mohit Sareen, Elixir's Founder and CEO.

"Our team approaches Web search differently. By leveraging our expertise in search architecture and relevance methods, we've built a more efficient search engine which is richer than display keyword search," says Sagoon's chief developer Manish Kumar. "We are in the process of adding unique features to Sagoon such as semantic search and natural language processing. This way, we will be providing artificial intelligence which can understand what exactly the user is looking for, thus providing them the best quality content which they can get on the Web."

Summary of Sagoon's features:

Sagoon search engine features clean Web page half-box layout style that separates results by subject and allows further search by category, and user friendly interface. Tabs and group displays in Web results clarify search topics and throw up the most relevant results.

About Sagoon

Sagoon is a privately owned company based in Washington DC. It is dedicated to providing a new window for Web search that combines the largest Web index with content-based relevance methods and organized results. Sagoon derives its name from Sanskrit "Shakuna" meaning "auspicious or ushering good results." This christening reflects Sagoon's sincere wish that the exploration of information and resources on the site ushers in "good luck" and augurs well for all businesses and users. For more information, please visit www.sagoon.com.

Analog Devices' Blackfin and Factum's Middleware Enable Single-Chip Solution for DAB/DAB+/DMB Receivers

Analog Devices' Blackfin and Factum's Middleware Enable Single-Chip Solution for DAB/DAB+/DMB Receivers

First single-chip solution with DLS, SLS, and EPG and audio/image/video processing for Eureka 147 receiver designs

Norwood, MA (PRWEB) January 26, 2009 -- Analog Devices, Inc. today announced that the newest version of DAB/DAB+/DMB (Digital Audio Broadcasting/Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) middleware from Factum Electronics AB (http://www.factum.se), a leading supplier of software and systems for digital multimedia broadcasting, is now available on ADI's low-power, high-performance Blackfin® BF5xx processors (http://www.analog.com/en/embedded-processing-dsp/blackfin/content/index.html).

Pairing the Blackfin processor with Factum middleware enables a single-chip module that is the industry's first to bring DLS (Dynamic Label Segment), SLS (Slideshow), and EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) data services together with audio, image, and video decoding capabilities for the next generation of handheld mobile receivers and kitchen radios with displays or screens.

Receivers equipped to handle multimedia formats -- including text and images -- supported by the growing set of the Eureka 147 family of DAB/DAB+/DMB standards (http://www.worlddab.org) require a processor able to deliver high performance at low power, and in a small form factor. Applications with these design demands benefit from the converged microcontroller and signal processor functionality provided by Blackfin. This DSP + MCU convergent processing drives down bill-of-materials cost for digital radio receivers and other price-sensitive consumer electronics products.

"Supporting the latest DAB, DAB+, and DMB multimedia data services in a single-chip solution promises to bring advanced functionality to the market in the next wave of digital radio receivers and at lower prices," said Quentin Howard, president of the WorldDMB Forum . "Commercially available technologies with advanced features such as the module produced by the collaboration of Factum Electronics and Analog Devices are an essential element which enable consumer electronics manufacturers to make devices delivering the media experience consumers expect."

Factum's complete range of middleware modules for data services not only reduces development time for receiver manufacturers, but also they support receiver stability and quality of service. Offerings include FIC (Fast Information Channel), DLS, SLS, EPG, TPEG (Transport Protocol Experts Group), and BWS (Broadcast Website).

This middleware is built upon Factum's extensive experience as a head-end system manufacturer, and leverages the company's expertise in developing, testing, validating, and supporting middleware products for chipset, terminal, and receiver manufacturers.

To complement Factum's middleware, ADI is providing a system solution for DAB/DAB+/DMB receivers -- including essential software modules such as MPEG2 TS demuxer, HE-AAC decoder, H.264 decoder, MP2 decoder, JPEG decoder, PNG decoder, and high-quality GUI -- which all execute on a single Blackfin processor. LCD, remote control, and keypad are supported along with control of the DAB/DAB+/DMB front-end tuner by Blackfin. With the complete TCP/IP stack and various popular audio decoders (MP3, WMA, Real, and AAC) running on the Blackfin processor, Internet radio (for example, vTuner and SHOUTcast™) along with a host of Internet music services (such as Rhapsody®) are supported as well.

Audio post-processing routines from Audyssey (http://www.audyssey.com), which include BassXT, Dynamic EQ, and EQ, also run on the same Blackfin processor to enhance listening pleasure dramatically.

The programmability of the Blackfin processor will speed future implementation of new functionality, such as Journaline® and Intellitext, because the embedded software can be modified instead of the chip.

"Australian radio broadcasters going digital in May 2009 plan to provide listeners with a full range of digital services, including multimedia features such as Programme Guides and Slideshow, from day one of the DAB+ digital radio launch," said Joan Warner, chief executive officer, Commercial Radio Australia. "We want listeners to be able to choose from a selection of well-priced receivers. Tested, production-ready silicon and middleware, such as Analog Devices and Factum are providing, are a must-have ingredient for the manufacturers bringing receivers into the market."
