Thanks to Firecomms products, our customers are definitely able to develop wide-bandgap inverters as they would play with LEGO blocks


CORK, Ireland (PRWEB)

Thanks to the high quality and performance of Firecomms products, Imperix is able to reinforce its leading position on the market of prototyping solutions for wide bandgap power converters.

Imperix has grown a multi-disciplinary product portfolio on inverter modules and high-performance controllers. Such modularity brings many challenges at managing the galvanic isolation throughout the setup while complying with the various sources of EMI-induced perturbations.

Firecomms’ long-term cooperation with Imperix fostered the implementation of the high-speed version Redlink® transceivers within Imperix’s new Silicon-carbide power modules range. The high-speed, low Pulse Width Distortion (PWD), robust EMI performance, and low propagation delay skew of the 50 MBd RedLink® transceivers provide simple, reliable, and galvanically isolated transmission of switching and fault signals while maintaining the time resolution provided by the Imperix B-Box RCP power electronics controller.

Thanks to the simplicity and modularity provided by Imperix products supported by Firecomms technologies, the development of Silicon-carbide power inverters and drives is within reach of every electrical engineer.

“We’re glad to see that our industry-proven optical communication technologies thanks to Imperix products, can accommodate and accelerate the R&D of modern converters”, says Michael O’Gorman, Head of Product Development at Firecomms.

Artist Steven Sebring Drops Exclusive NFT Featuring Singer, Songwriter, and “Godmother of Punk” Patti Smith on SuperRare

Leave a comment


News Image


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Artist, Technologist and Digital Innovator Steven Sebring released his first NFT featuring legendary Artist and “Punk Poet Laureate” Patti Smith on SuperRare today, entitled patti punk. Culminating in a Sundance Award for Excellence in Cinematography in 2008 for Patti Smith: Dream of Life, Steven and Patti spent over eleven years together documenting her journey back to the stage from a sixteen-year hiatus.

Over the past 25 years, they have collaborated on a wide variety of artistic projects from books and films, to live performances and art installations – establishing a palpable sense of trust and mutual respect for artistry and harmony between them. With genuine appreciation, Smith notes that Sebring always captures her as herself and does not influence any version of herself, past or present.

The patti punk NFT is a result of their journey together and the evolution of Sebring’s technological approach to image capture with his proprietary technology.

SMITH ON “PUNK”

According to Smith, “the essence of punk in 1974/’75 was freedom. Freedom in the way we expressed ourselves, dressed, and performed. It let the artist feel freedom and they were just themselves.” This is Punk. “The work that one does and the work of one’s energy.” Also noted by Smith, “I can still put my foot through an amp and at the same time scrub my floors and take care of my children.”

While happy to be the “Godmother of Punk”, Smith acknowledges that “each generation translates what punk [rock] means to them” and believes that new generations should define themselves by their own experience rather than by those who came before them. To Smith, the essence of Punk is Freedom. She acknowledges the originating artistic process, but once it is given to the people, it is theirs and it may transform. Without any territorial feelings, she notes, “We kick the door open and let the new people take it. Break on through to the other side.”

SEBRING ON TECHNOLOGY

Sebring is a purist when it comes to the capture process. “I hope people see the connection I have with the subjects I photograph,” says Sebring noting that photography is the only way to capture moments. However, Sebring embraces technology, even developing his own, as a tool for the continuous exploration and evolution of his art.

Sebring photographed Smith in 1999 for her album “Gung Ho” using Polaroids. The single capture of the moment and seeing it physically was a distinctive experience for him. In 2005, Sebring embraced digital technologies to be able to create multiples of his work. He used a scanner to digitize the images and software to pixelate them, combining pure capture with technology to explore new ways of seeing these moments. These steps were only the initial explorations of his artistic innovation.

The resulting images were shown in Illuminations: Who Are Poets, an exhibition of photography and installation works by Sebring at the Milk Gallery in April of 2011. The exhibition featured Patti Smith, Michael Stipe, Jim Carroll, Joey Ramone, Neil Young and Philip Glass. Based on the concept of looking at a piece of stained glass up close and not being able to discern the overall image, the pieces in Illumination give the viewer a sense of this discovery. When moving back and scanning images with a phone, the photographs would emerge clearly to the viewer.

With NFTs, Sebring is embracing the new world, reimagining the process of capturing, creating, and displaying art that evolves over time.

ABOUT STEVEN SEBRING

An Artist, Emmy-nominated Director, Photographer and self-proclaimed “Photo-Scientist,” Steven Sebring is the creator of SEBRING REVOLUTION, a media company using proprietary camera systems designed by Sebring to create immersive and interactive storytelling experiences. For more than 25 years, Sebring has collaborated with innovators in the realms of fashion, music, art, sports and film. He is the recipient of the Sundance Excellence in Cinematography Award, multiple Clio Awards, and received an Emmy nomination for his full-length feature film, Patti Smith: Dream of Life.

ABOUT PATTI SMITH

An Artist, Poet, Activist, Singer-Songwriter, Traveler and known “Punk Poet Laureate,” Patti Smith is an icon and inspiration to the world. She was an integral part of the downtown NYC arts scene in the late 1960’s. Her debut album Horses was a significant influence on the Punk music scene in the 1970’s. In 2007 Patti was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and she has won numerous awards including the National Book Award in 2010 for her memoir, Just Kids.

U.S. B2B Technology Sales See Positive First Quarter Momentum, Up 4%

Leave a comment


As many in the U.S. begin their return to ‘normal’ we are starting to see some of the pandemic-related sales momentum shift and anticipate that we are likely to see some growth shift from the hardware that was needed to outfit home offices, back to software for business operations.


PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. (PRWEB)

The U.S. B2B technology channel generated nearly $24.1 billion in the first quarter of 2021, a 4% sales growth compared to the same period a year prior, according to The NPD Group’s B2B Distributor Track and Reseller Tracking services. This is also up 4% compared to Q1 2019. During the quarter, software sales, which make up 27% of industry sales, experienced 3% growth, while hardware dollar sales saw a 4% increase.

Sales trends that began during the onset of the pandemic are continuing into the first quarter of the 2021, as products that enable working and learning from home, including USB cameras (+320%) and notebooks* (+51%), saw strong growth over Q1 2020. While tablets also saw double-digit growth in Q1 (+18%) the category is beginning to slow from its peak 2020 growth.

“As many in the U.S. begin their return to ‘normal’ we are starting to see some of the pandemic-related sales momentum shift and anticipate that as businesses and schools begin opening we are likely to see some growth shift from the hardware that was needed to outfit home offices, back to software for business operations,” said Mike Crosby, Director and B2B Technology Industry Analyst, The NPD Group.

In Q1 software revenue growth was driven by cloud gains, up 44% vs. Q1 2020, as well as increases in enterprise resource management (+28%), and monitoring and management (+24%). Since the pandemic took hold and many employees were forced to work remote, security software has been a top priority. In Q1 security software saw a 6% year-over-year increase, trending ahead of the overall software segment. Top growth categories included security information and event management (SIEM) and gateway and firewall.

“Driven by digital transformation, cloud is delivering real value for businesses of all sizes. We are anticipating additional software investment related to communication, collaboration, and security for both remote and hybrid workforces, enabling agility as well as scalability,” noted Crosby.

CatapultX Officially Launches the First and Only On-Stream™ Video Platform for Advertisers and Publishers

Leave a comment


News Image

CatapultX’s mission is to ensure ad-supported video experiences are as great as they can be.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

CatapultX, today announced the official launch of its On-Stream™ video monetization and contextual artificial intelligence (AI) platform. The announcement follows the onboarding of CatapultX’s initial user base and its selection to participate in two prestigious accelerator programs, Plug and Play Media & Ad Startups and HYPE Sports Global Virtual Accelerator (GVA) 2.0.

The CatapultX On-Stream platform harnesses AI to power contextually relevant and non-interruptive video ads integrated directly within video content so that promotions do not interrupt the audience experience and drive maximum results for advertisers and publishers. For publishers and video content creators, the technology maximizes the monetization potential from every video, across every channel. For advertisers, the AI-powered placements and unskippable format delivers brand messages in a privacy-safe way in the moment of highest impact and relevance.

WatchMojo, one of the largest digital media companies dedicated to fan culture entertainment, is among the first use cases CatapultX is sharing. Since 2006, WatchMojo’s catalogue of videos has generated 20 billion cumulative videos and now reach over 150 million consumers monthly. WatchMojo began using CatapultX to increase monetization across its owned-and-operated property. As a result, since 2020, WatchMojo has seen a 25% increase in the ROI its website’s video revenue is generating.

According to Ashkan Karbasfrooshan, Founder and CEO of WatchMojo, “The viewer experience focus and privacy-by-design provided by the CatapultX platform and performance during our first few trials was genuinely outstanding. The results truly demonstrated how fantastic video experiences can be when programming and advertising are in true harmony. CatapultX A) delivers video advertising the way it’s meant to be OR B) gives a glimpse into the future of the advertising consumer experiences.”

WatchMojo is not the only fan of CatapultX. The company beat out thousands of others competing for spots in both Plug and Play and HYPE Sports GVA’s accelerator programs. Only 1% of the companies that compete for spots with the accelerators are selected. Plug and Play introduces 500 of the top companies in the world to the best start-ups. HYPE operates similarly, but is focused on connecting the top global sports and e-sports leaders to the best new solution providers.

According to Plug and Play Director of Media and Advertising, Will Decker, “For the past year, our corporate partners have shown an increasing interest in figuring out how to drive maximum value across all advertising in a cookieless world. CatapultX’s ability to address that need is what led us to introduce them to our Media & Ad program.”

Ryan McCumber, Founder SportsTech.ai and the overall creator and Program Director for the HYPE Global Virtual Accelerator 2.0, said, “CatapultX caught our attention from initial application. The pandemic dramatically affected live sports and e-sports, it changed the industry forever and highlighted how key digital video experiences will be in the future. Throughout the process and as evidenced by the DRAFT, CatapultX is a clear winner and driving a revolutionary change in digital sponsorship.”

According to CatapultX founder and CEO, Zack Rosenberg, many in its latest wave of users discovered the platform through the accelerators, including several Fortune 500 brands and sports teams. CatapultX was the most selected company through the HYPE GVA 2.0 program for pilots by sports partners, including some of the largest sports federations in the world like DAZN, Deutscher Fussball-Bund (DFB), Eurovision Sport, NHL Las Vegas Golden Knight, NBA Milwaukee Bucks, NFL Minnesota Vikings, ESLGaming, 888sport and more.

During the HYPE GVA 2.0 Clubs, Federations, Leagues and Broadcasters Draft virtual event, Matt Johnson of the Minnesota Vikings said, “I think CatapultX’s platform is really unique and provides a lot of potential in our connection between our fan base and our partners.”

Rosenberg and co-founder and COO, James Altschuler, are now hyper-focused on ensuring CatapultX’s growing list of partners have a flawless experience and receive the strategic guidance they need to maximize use of the platform.

“It’s a tremendously exciting time. We couldn’t be more grateful for the support Plug and Play and HYPE Sports GVA are providing and thrilled by the success our advertising and publishing partners are reporting,” said Rosenberg. “CatapultX’s mission is to ensure ad-supported video experiences are as great as they can be. The results our advertising and publishing partners are sharing is a testament to how gigantic the gap between what those experiences have been in the past and should be now and in the future. We intend to close that gap for good.”

According to Magna Global, 84% of video viewers will leave interruptive pre-roll ads once they start, 65% will skip immediately and 25% will block that ad format altogether. This leaves the viewer frustrated, the content creator with lost revenue opportunity and the advertiser with missed goals.

“With CatapultX, no one has to settle for interruptive ad experiences anymore. The solution is clear and everyone wins. Game over,” said Altschuler

New Covisum® White Paper Examines the Uncertain Future of the Social Security Program

Leave a comment


It’s no secret that the Social Security system is facing challenges and people are nervous, but claiming Social Security early could significantly impact their ability to meet retirement goals. Don’t make decisions based on fear alone.


OMAHA, Neb. (PRWEB)

Social Security is a significant source of income for many retired Americans, but the solvency of the system is currently in question. Many experts suggest that high unemployment combined with an influx of new claimants will cause the Social Security system to run out of funds even faster than initially projected.

“It’s no secret that the Social Security system is facing challenges and people are nervous, but claiming Social Security early could significantly impact their ability to meet retirement goals. Don’t make decisions based on fear alone,” said Joe Elsasser, CFP®, Founder and President of Covisum, the financial tech company that created Social Security Timing®, Tax Clarity®, SmartRisk™, and Income InSight®.

In a new Covisum white paper, “Is Time Running Out on Social Security,” Elsasser explains how Social Security will continue to be an essential retirement income stream. The white paper outlines why claiming early in response to potential cuts to Social Security benefits is not advantageous for most people.

“There seems to be some confusion among consumers surrounding the solvency of Social Security,” said Elsasser. “Even if there is no reform and the Social Security trust fund is depleted, which is unlikely, benefits won’t just disappear altogether.”

In addition to potential benefit cuts, several other factors can complicate the claiming process. Multiple income streams, a spousal or widow(er) benefit, age, and longevity can all impact the optimal time to claim Social Security benefits.

“It’s important to look at the full picture before claiming Social Security benefits,” Elsasser said. “Evaluating the impact of different factors, including potential cuts to benefits, can help you access the full amount you’re entitled to.”

Retirees can often access thousands of dollars of additional lifetime value by working with a financial advisor who can help them navigate the complexities of the Social Security system, including potential benefit cuts.
