New TTL-Controlled Bi-Phase Modulators are Ideal for Encoding the RF Carrier Using 2 Phase Shift Keying (2PSK)

IRVINE, Calif., July 24, 2020 — Pasternack, an Infinite Electronics brand and a leading provider of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, has just launched a new line of bi-phase modulators that includes a comprehensive selection of nine different models covering broad octave frequency bands ranging from 0.5 to 40 GHz.  Bi-phase modulators take a TTL level digital bits stream that is encoded onto the RF carrier using 2 Phase Shift Keying (2PSK) modulation, where the 2 phases are separated by 180 degrees.  This performance is desirable in communications systems, microwave radio, radar, high-data-rate test & measurement, serial data transmission, base station infrastructure and other industrial and military applications.

Pasternack’s new line of 0° to 180° bi-phase modulators offer impressive features that include TTL command control, low insertion loss of 2.5 dB typ, fast switching speed of 40 nsec typ, low VSWR of 1.8:1 typ and maximum peak RF input power of 0.5 watts.  All designs require dual bias voltages and the input and output RF ports are bi-directional. These bi-phase modulators operate across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.  The compact and rugged packages utilize solder pins for TTL, DC bias and ground, and field replaceable SMA or 2.92mm female connectors. All designs are highly reliable, meeting MIL-STD-202 environmental test conditions for humidity, shock, vibration, altitude and temperature cycle.

"These fully integrated bi-phase modulators offer desirable and accurate performance features for modulating a signal response over broad frequency bands. Production lead-times for these products are normally 22-24 weeks. Having a comprehensive selection readily available in stock is invaluable for designers who have an urgent need to validate prototype or proof-of-concept designs," said Tim Galla, Product Line Manager at Pasternack.

Pasternack’s new bi-phase modulators are in stock and available for immediate shipping with no minimum order quantity (MOQ) required.

Veritas Technologies Named a Leader in the 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions 15x in a Row

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE, July 24, 2020 — Veritas Technologies, a global leader in data protection and availability, today announced the company has been positioned as a Leader in Gartner’s 2020 Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions — now for the 15th consecutive time.[1] Gartner’s evaluation criteria for vendors includes completeness of vision and ability to execute. Veritas believes that this combination is critical as businesses seek to standardize on tools that give them a unified solution to manage data protection across a rapidly growing and increasingly diversified storage environment.

"2020 is a huge year of transformation for many of Veritas’ customers, as they respond to the challenges of a global pandemic. Every day, I speak to leaders that are prioritizing hybrid cloud adoption, operational resiliency, and cost management. However, these priorities put pressure on data management, data protection, and compliance models, especially in these uncertain times," said Greg Hughes, CEO, Veritas. "In order to respond, enterprises today need a modern, unified data protection platform that supports emerging technologies as well as traditional workloads at scale."

Veritas believes Gartner’s recognition further demonstrates how the company enables enterprises to gain control of their data, helping them manage growth, reduce the impact of ransomware, and prove compliance for on-premise and cloud environments.

By standardizing on a single data protection platform with the broadest workload support in the industry, customers are able to:

  • Strengthen resiliency against malicious threats, especially ransomware attacks, thanks to:
    • Veritas’ modern web-based user interface, which enables role-based access control to authorized users
    • Simplified disaster recovery for rapid restoration of data and applications following an attack
    • Consistent end-to-end long-term data retention and protection — complete with classification and global deduplication
  • Maximize operational simplicity with the industry’s most scalable platform, thanks to:
    • Veritas’ API-first approach that enables data protection automation and integration
    • Fully agentless architecture for VMware that can scale to hundreds of thousands of VMs
    • Backup, orchestration, cataloguing, and replication with native snapshot technologies
  • Provide seamless recovery across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, thanks to:
    • Cloud-native data protection with application consistency
    • Automation of disaster recovery to and in the cloud
    • Significant cost and resource savings with up to 90% reduction in network bandwidth utilization and cloud storage consumption

"NetBackup brings unparalleled breadth, depth and scale by supporting more than 800 data sources and over 1,400 storage targets, including 60 cloud providers," said Deepak Mohan, executive vice president, Products Organization, Veritas. "Because it can be deployed in any form factor, NetBackup is one of the most versatile and extensible solutions for data management available on the market today. To us, being recognized as a Leader for the 15th time in a row in this critical Magic Quadrant is testament to Veritas’ commitment to continuous innovation with solutions that meet the changing needs of our customers as ransomware threats rise and IT environments become more diverse."

Today’s announcement further builds on Veritas’ ongoing recognition from analysts and customers alike. Recently, the company was also recognized by customers as a 2020 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions for the NetBackup product.

FUJIFILM Sonosite Launches New Point-Of-Care Ultrasound System With Adaptable Form Factor, Embedded Workflow, And The Most Advanced Image Clarity Sonosite Has Ever Offered

Leave a comment

BROOKVALE, New South Wales, July 24, 2020 — FUJIFILM Sonosite, Inc., specialists in developing cutting-edge point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) solutions, and part of the larger Fujifilm Healthcare portfolio, has announced the launch of the new Sonosite PX ultrasound system. Sonosite PX is the next generation in Sonosite POCUS, with the most advanced image clarity ever seen in a Sonosite system, a suite of workflow efficiency features, and an adaptable form factor. 

"Every aspect of Sonosite PX was designed specifically for the clinicians on the front lines of medicine. We designed Sonosite PX as a tool to help clinicians in all fields of medicine to treat patients more effectively where it matters most – at the point of care." said Rich Fabian, President and Chief Operating Officer of FUJIFILM Sonosite, Inc. "To optimize clinician ergonomics and improve efficiency, the system has an innovative and adaptable work surface that can be used in a horizontal or vertical position based on the situational needs of the exam. The exceptional image clarity is the result of a new proprietary imaging technology – seeing anatomy more clearly with Sonosite PX provides an unparalleled level of confidence for diagnostic and procedural applications."

As with all Sonosite POCUS systems, Sonosite PX is built to the legendary durability, reliability, and ease of use standards that clinicians around the world depend upon. The ultrasound system and the new family of transducers are drop-tested to one meter and the work surface is sealed to the edge for simplified cleaning and disinfection.  When mounted on the specialized stand, Sonosite PX has an adaptable work surface position for optimal clinician ergonomics while a small footprint and adjustable height allows for closer bedside access. Information essential to completing an exam including patient information, reports, and worksheets, is intuitively placed in one location, saving clinicians time and effort when navigating the ultrasound system user interface.

Diku Mandavia, MD, FACEP, FRCPC, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of FUJIFILM Sonosite, Inc. explained, "Clinicians are continually expanding their use of ultrasound. With Sonosite PX, they can use one ultrasound system for different workflows because it adapts to fit their diverse needs." The Sonosite PX user interface is simplified to show most-used controls, calculations, and annotations. Dr. Mandavia continued, "The system has two cardiac options that allow clinicians to choose between gathering targeted information about the heart to determine overall patient well-being, or investigate specific cardiac conditions with more comprehensive calculations that provide detailed analysis of the structure and function of the heart. This allows clinicians to select the cardiac exam type that best fits their individual workflow needs. Furthermore in keeping with our commitment to education, we have greatly expanded our 3D animation educational videos which are very important to new users. Sonosite PX has more than 100 onboard scan-along education tutorials; the most expansive library in any point-of-care system."

Recognizing the importance of efficient documentation to the electronic health record (EHR), Sonosite PX has been designed for onboard documentation of ultrasound findings at the bedside. Sonosite PX integrates seamlessly with the company’s Sonosite Synchronicity solution, a workflow manager for POCUS that supports seamless credentialing, quality assurance, and billing across departments and institutions.

Dynamic Communities Continues Upgrades to Community, Event Technologies Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

New, More Robust Community and Event Engagement Platforms Among Technology Investments

TAMPA, Florida, July 24, 2020 — After months of acceleration and investments in new technologies aimed at improving the user experience of the global community, Dynamic Communities today revealed the introduction of several new upgrades across the member/partner and event experience platforms.

Prior  to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dynamic Communities had begun forming relationships with technology disruptors in pursuit of a more robust and responsive community platform on which community members could more easily share, learn, and grow. In the coming months, the member platform will transition to a sleeker, more modern interface on the Verint enterprise collaboration and community software platform. Benefits of Verint include mobile responsiveness, a fully customizable interface with content relevant to each unique user, partner-focused content accessibility, a robust and searchable content library, and special interest group (SIG) community options, including manufacturing, distribution, cybersecurity, Internet of Things, and more.

"After an extensive search and vetting process, we are thrilled to share Dynamic Communities’ strategic plans to enhance the user experience for our entire global community. In particular, our investment in the Verint software platform will enable us to offer greater value to user and partner members through 24/7, year-round access to online community resources," said Robert Schwartz, CEO of Dynamic Communities. "We are committed to providing more opportunities for continuous collaboration, education, professional development, and business growth to all members, whether in-person or virtual."

Upgraded Event Experiences

In May, Dynamic Communities rolled out Bizzabo, in partnership with Kaltura, two of the industry’s leading virtual event management platforms. This virtual experience solution will enable Dynamic Communities to offer live webcasts, real-time chat, networking opportunities, question-and-answer sessions, and other robust engagement tools designed to make virtual events valuable, educational and memorable.

The flagship events for Dynamic Communities, Community Summit Europe, Community Summit North America and Community Summit Australia, have also undergone significant upgrades to accommodate the transition from in-person to virtual events.

Dynamic Communities will continue to build on the momentum of these technology investments by introducing Map Your Show (MYS) to Community Summit Australia attendees. This platform, in conjunction with Bizzabo, offers a mobile-responsive design and 24/7, real-time feedback that enables partners and members to access content and comprehensive profiling from a digital platform. These solutions allow Dynamic Communities to offer virtual attendees a more curated and personalized event experience.

Those attending Community Summit North America later this year have the option to attend the event in-person in Nashville or virtually. To accommodate this new hybrid attendance model, Dynamic Communities will roll out another software upgrade in vFairs. vFairs allows technology partners to create unique personas and also offers content collaboration and sharing between members, partners, and prospects – without requiring a physical presence in the Expo Hall.

Dynamic Communities has been working diligently to better understand the needs of the global community over the last 18 months and is proud to offer members a more fulfilling experience despite the changes inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, members will also be able to experience a refreshed digital presence from Dynamic Communities, featuring a modernized website and a continued commitment to offering exceptional value for memberships, event attendance, and partner opportunities.

About Dynamic Communities

Dynamic Communities is the world’s largest community provider for users and partners of top technology solutions. Powered by a combination of content grounded in real-world experience, signature events, and expert-driven education at a global scale that can’t be found anywhere else, Dynamic Communities is committed to creating opportunities to develop and engage all community members. The extended network that has been created by Dynamic Communities and its global membership works together to collaborate, develop, and support individuals and the organizations they serve; solving everyday technical challenges and advancing business innovation. www.dynamiccommunities.com

As an online browser-based education platform within the myViewBoard ecosystem, myViewBoard Classroom is a purpose-built solution designed with the teacher in mind first, rather than technology lead philosophy to assist educators in this new era of hybrid learning. The launch of myViewBoard Classroom comes as schools grapple with reopening schools and what that new reality will look like. Whether educators are in the classroom, teaching from home, or reaching students via a combination of both methods, hybrid learning techniques will continue to play an essential role given the “new normal” in education.

myViewBoard Classroom is a purpose-built solution designed with the teacher in mind first, rather than technology lead philosophy to assist educators in this new era of hybrid learning.
myViewBoard Classroom is a purpose-built solution designed with the teacher in mind first, rather than technology lead philosophy to assist educators in this new era of hybrid learning.

“The pandemic has forever changed our world and affected all aspects of our lives. In education, teachers are oscillating between virtual and physical classrooms. However, the tools they used for distance learning at the beginning of the school closures are often not transferable to the physical classroom when on-site learning is required,” said Craig Scott, CTO at ViewSonic. “We have made it our mission to develop a hybrid teaching tool that provides a seamless transition between the physical and virtual spaces and offers teachers the capabilities to continue inspiring their students with engaging lessons regardless of location.”

myViewBoard Classroom is a collaborative tool for delivering education content that enables visual learning, and participation for a full class, individuals, or groups of students. It is ideal for traditional front of class teaching, flipped classrooms, blended teaching pedagogy, and online learning. With the ability to conduct group collaboration, manage a virtual classroom with video conferencing tools, and secure user participation, myViewBoard Classroom provides an engaging and collaborative learning environment. 

myViewBoard Classroom comes complete with a digital whiteboard canvas, to prepare and present content in real-time. Teachers control when students can ask questions, or make comments, as well as manage who may display their screens to the class for presentations. Student participation is encouraged via the Hand Raise push-to-talk feature and student access to remote writing tools. Independent breakout group discussions are made possible with virtual grouping, allowing real-time annotation and quizzes. Additionally, a low bandwidth feature ensures functions perform well, even when the Internet connection is weak.

In a show of support for schools during the initial outbreak, ViewSonic provides myViewBoard free-of-charge to K12 schools, colleges, and universities as of March 2020. After receiving positive feedback from schools and educators, ViewSonic decided to make myViewBoard Entity for education complimentary to all education institutions permanently*.

YAS Empowers Insurtech with Disruptive Innovations for the Future and Beyond Reshaping the Insurance Industry with a New Ecosystem and Business Model

Leave a comment

HONG KONG, July 24, 2020 — YAS Digital Limited (YDL), the Hong Kong-based regional insurtech venture, today unveiled Hong Kong’s first microinsurance marketplace – YAS, which utilizes innovative technologies such as 5G, AI, blockchain, data analytics, and open API, to reshape the insurance industry while creating an unprecedented ecosystem and business model for both B2B and B2C customers.

YDL is the first insurtech venture in Hong Kong to employ YAS – a brand-new microinsurance marketplace that functions like an app store, empowering insurers with open APIs ready to plug and play in accordance with growing trends within the on-demand economy. Utilizing a customer-centric open marketplace that offers a diverse and affordable range of products tailored to the customer’s needs, YAS provides a digital customer experience beyond protection in every step of their daily lives.

With YAS’ smart technologies, the first of its kind offerings are actualized. The YAS GPS Automated Insurance will be made to provide seamless protection to customers when they are on the move. For example: YAS will use location based technology to map out all hiking trails. If the customer decides to use the auto-on feature within the app, insurance coverage will automatically turn ON when the user is on the trail and turn OFF when the user leaves the trail. This GPS enabled protection experience will also apply to golf courses, tennis courts, theme parks, public transportation and more. In addition, the introduction of 5G technology will put telehealth at the customer’s fingertips – instant access to a virtual assistant during emergencies or real-time video streaming to a doctor from their home country while traveling will all be achievable.

The deep machine learning technology of YAS creates a new tech-centric ecosystem for B2B and B2C customers, meeting customer preferences and uplifting customer loyalty. Through joint voting and dynamic pricing, YAS provides desirable cost-effective alternatives for customers over full-fledged insurance coverage.

In addition to its inherent novelty, YAS provides ease of mind to all users in data privacy protection. With YASS – the first insurance blockchain protocol developed by YDL’s YAS Lab, YAS is enabled with a highly secure network to store insurance smart contracts on the cloud with nodes running across 20 countries, protecting the data privacy of customers. YAS’ secure and decentralized data network also enables customers to own their data – with blockchain ledger records and end to end encryption, customers are able to transfer their data across insurance companies on demand.

It also offers data transformation and analytic solutions which are complemented by social data analytics for underwriters to produce single items for specific times and occasions, and to underwrite the right risks, which will facilitate a user-centric insurance future. 

Mr Andy Ann and William Lee, Cofounder of YDL, said, "YAS is a perfect blend of technological innovation, digital capabilities, and customer-centric experience; it fosters to build a community with utility, loyalty, and experience to protect people through lifestyle. What’s more, it also forms a powerful transformative insurtech business model and ecosystem, leading the evolution of the global insurance market, and reshaping the insurance industry for the next generation.

Komodo Health Lauded by Frost & Sullivan for Empowering Healthcare Stakeholders with Dynamic Real-world Evidence Solutions

Leave a comment

Komodo Health provides a powerful spectrum of data analysis software to cross-link the patient’s care pathway data with other medical and healthcare datasets to better understand and predict disease

SANTA CLARA, California, July 23, 2020 — Based on its recent analysis of the North American real-world evidence (RWE) solutions market in healthcare, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Komodo Health, Inc. with the 2020 North American Company of the Year Award. Komodo’s comprehensive, real-time Healthcare Map platform facilitates access to unified, longitudinal patient encounters. Built on this platform, the company’s software solutions enable partners to analyze data dynamically to identify unmet needs across the healthcare value chain, serving payers, providers, and pharmaceutical enterprises to help them achieve better outcomes.

"Komodo differentiates itself with its data expertise, digital technology capability, and focus on delivering value for the customer," said Koustav Chatterjee Principal Analyst. "Its Healthcare Map links more than 150 comprehensive payer datasets and aggregates 65 billion clinical encounters, with 15 million newly-identified patient encounters added daily and in near real-time. Leveraging AI, Komodo de-identifies and links information from over 320 million patients in the US across thousands of siloed data sources while reconstructing visits from various streams. This approach makes any patient-level insight actionable."

Komodo’s robust spectrum of software solutions include Aperture, Pulse, and Prism, which are all built on the company’s Healthcare Map. While Aperture empowers life sciences teams with deep, AI-driven insights to identify and respond to disease burden patterns, Pulse provides alerts that enable optimal provider engagement based on new patient signals. Supplementing these solutions, Prism is a population health analysis software that offers the flexibility to tap into the company’s proprietary Healthcare Map to study and analyze patient cohorts, quickly generating powerful insights to inform market intelligence and product surveillance.

One of the unique elements of Komodo’s performance is that the company sources data through a vast array of relationships with commercial payer entities. Through its extensive access to payer-complete data, Komodo provides higher-resolution and richer insights into the patient journey, including clinical encounters that are typically missed by traditional "pill-tracking" data aggregators. In addition, Komodo partners with leading companies, such as Veradigm, an ambulatory electronic health record (EHR) provider, creating the largest linked EHR and claims dataset for life sciences research. Komodo partners with Datavant to expand its Healthcare Map further and to connect thousands of de-identified patient datasets.

"With COVID-19 placing significant pressures on the US healthcare system, Komodo’s software solutions have proven invaluable in creating a comprehensive understanding of individual patient’s journeys. Today, Komodo works with most leading pharmaceutical companies in North America while partnering with payers, providers and government entities," noted Chatterjee. "Its best-in-class solutions along with comprehensive support and service for partners have made it the ideal RWE solution provider to the healthcare industry."
