Shipshape Adds Sump Pump Upgrade to its Smart Home Predictive Maintenance Platform

Leave a comment


Next-Gen Intelligent Features

With a suite of predictive maintenance solutions, Shipshape aims to unlock the promised value of the smart home.


AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)

Shipshape, a company on a mission to make homes smart enough to take care of themselves, announced the Sump Pump Upgrade to further expand the capabilities of Shipshape’s smart home predictive maintenance platform. Homeowners depend on sump pumps during rainstorms to protect their homes from potential water damage. Unfortunately, sump pumps can break down and they are particularly difficult to monitor because they are often located in hard-to-reach areas of the home, such as the crawl space or basement. When a sump pump fails it can cost thousands of dollars and a lot of time to deal with repairs.

Shipshape solves this monitoring issue with an easy-to-install upgrade to a home’s existing sump pump. The Sump Pump Upgrade monitors the sump pump 24/7 to prevent common issues such as unexpected break-downs, wasted energy and water damage from leaks or floods.

Homeowners rely on sump pumps more than ever as a result of severe weather. According to Ryan Dalton, Head of Sales and Co-Founder at Shipshape, “This is a problem we needed to solve. We talked to one too many homeowners who told us they crawl under their house or put their ear to the floor during a rain storm to make sure their sump pump is working. With today’s technology, we can provide a better solution.”

Shipshape’s powerful software platform provides homeowners with the ability to monitor and manage all of their homes’ connected systems.

Next-gen intelligent features include:

  • The HomeHealth Record™ – Complete performance history for each system in the home.

  • Proactive AlertActions™ – Notifications that offer actionable recommendations to help the homeowner reduce risks or improve performance associated with the home’s critical systems.

  • Shipshape Assisted Maintenance aka SAM™ – A virtual assistant that helps resolve issues and connects users to service pros when needed.


Shipshape’s Sump Pump Upgrade is the first product in a comprehensive suite of solutions developed through extensive market testing.

“Our goal is to create real solutions, rather than simply sell homeowners another flashy smart home gadget,” said Becket Linn, Shipshape’s Head of Product and Co-Founder. “With our product, your sump pump can tell you if it’s working and what you might need to do to fix it before a storm hits. Tomorrow we will add this kind of functionality to all of the critical home appliances.”

Sump Pump Upgrade Includes:

Smart Monitor™ – Hardware devices with sensors and controls that can be added to any existing sump pump to connect the sump pump to the internet and Shipshape’s platform.

Mobile App – Software that enables homeowners to interact with their systems, input warranty info, access their HomeHealth Record™, respond to AlertActions™, request help from SAM™ and connect to service providers.

Shipshape Membership Subscription (optional)

  • Pro Monitoring – 24/7 professional monitoring

  • Home Assistant – A dedicated Shipshape representative to help you resolve home issues and connect to service pros when needed

  • Extended Warranty – An extended warranty on the SmartMonitor™ devices that keep your service connected


About Shipshape Solutions Inc.

Shipshape is on a mission to make homes smart enough to take care of themselves. Shipshape believes every home should be safe, reliable, efficient and well maintained. The company operates a first of its kind proprietary smart home predictive maintenance platform that offers solutions to homeowners to reduce the costs of home maintenance and operations.

Computer Science Teachers Association Adds CoderZ’s Professional Development Program to Curated List of Quality Resources

Leave a comment


News Image

My experience with CoderZ professional development was very positive. It provided the familiarity I needed to gather valuable data about student performance and helped me to better support my students when they are challenged.


DERRY, N.H. (PRWEB)

After a rigorous evaluation, the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) has added CoderZ to its online list of professional learning programs. The list enables K-12 computer science (CS) teachers to find quality professional development opportunities and associated curriculum that fit their needs and goals.

An independent committee of experts evaluated the CoderZ professional development programs using a detailed rubric aligned to quality indicators such as the following:

  • Content Focus

  • Active Learning

  • Collaboration

  • Differentiation

  • Models and Modeling

  • Inclusivity

  • Accessibility

  • Feedback and Reflection

  • Scale and Sustainability

  • Efficacy

  • Ongoing Support

  • Sustained Duration

The CoderZ professional development program introduces instructors to the concepts of teaching computer science and computational thinking using an online tool. Participants learn robotics and coding best practices as well as strategies to successfully leverage a graphic programming interface. In addition, the program hones the skills needed to reinforce student engagement, application, exploration and use of communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity.

The professional development program is strongly aligned to CSTA programming standards and gives teachers opportunities to connect to Common Core Math, NGSS, and additional CSTA standards. Teachers receive a hands-on learning experience with guided practice. Afterward, they receive ongoing support through a facilitated Facebook community, weekly virtual office hours and email and phone support to process inquiries.

“We customize our professional development to meet educators’ needs,” said Ido Yerushalmi, CEO of CoderZ. “So, as participants learn how to develop and deliver STEM or CS instruction, our program can also help them integrate that new knowledge with their use of approaches such as differentiated and adaptive instruction.”

The CoderZ professional development program has received a lot of positive feedback from teachers who have taken it. One example is Todd Leff, a CS and technology teacher who has been teaching programming at Kingsview Middle School in Maryland. Another is Monica Maldonado, the director of technology for the Diocese of Corpus Christi in Texas.

“I signed up for the training because I wanted to know the ins and outs of CoderZ before I used it with my students,” said Leff. “My experience with CoderZ professional development was very positive. It provided the familiarity I needed to gather valuable data about student performance and helped me to better support my students when they are challenged.”

The schools in the Diocese of Corpus Christi had already implemented computer science instruction prior to the CoderZ training. However, they were adding instruction through CoderZ to their STEM learning initiative. “The professional development was designed to provide training to our fourth and fifth grade teachers with small chunks of content and at a pace that would build teacher confidence over time and encourage successes,” said Maldonado.

Maldonado praised the supportive experience that the CoderZ’s professional development team had provided to the diocese’s schoolteachers. “We would definitely recommend CoderZ’s professional development to other teachers because they will adapt their learning approaches to fit your district or diocese to ensure a successful rollout,” she said.

SigmaSense® unveils a gaming class performance breakthrough at Touch Taiwan

Leave a comment


Game Class 300Hz Interactive Touch Performance

Now we can turn screens into gaming centers where you could have multiple players around the table and all with hands and fingers on the screen Said Rick Seger, SigmaSense CEO


AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)

SigmaSense LLC, the global leader in touch screen performance, announces the world’s first gaming class performance interactive display table. An advantage in the three-billion player gaming space is highly valued among gamers. In a comparison of a popular game, 300Hz touch reporting enabled an accuracy rate of over 90 percent compared to a 60Hz touch report rate accuracy of only 51 percent. The typical 30 Hz or 60 Hz touch report rate barrier for large displays has now been broken ushering in new user experiences and substantial advantages for gamers. Interactive displays equipped with SigmaDrive touch controller technology provide high speed 300 Hz touch reporting.

Large optically superior indium tin oxide (ITO) sensors are higher resistance and difficult to drive at low voltages. When bonded to an OLED display the electrical noise poses additional challenges for reliable touch processing. SigmaDrive touch controller technology easily overcomes both of these challenges and still provides 300Hz touch reporting performance. A new era in the user experience characterized by low lag and smooth touch operation finally enables high speed table top gaming. In addition, liquids and objects on the screen does not affect the touch performance. Until now, touch technology has not supported these high-speed reports with ample electrical noise or contaminant tolerance on large screens.

SigmaSense’s® new gaming class performance in a tabletop display creates all new possibilities for game developers. Finally, game piece recognition, pucks, and pens can be used for more immersive games while high fidelity capacitive imaging enabled by much faster data acquisition will change the limits of the gaming experience. The availability of high speed, high fidelity touch data has opened the door for tabletop gaming from 20 inches up to 100-inch tables with support for “gang play,” whether the gang is there to compete or to play as a team.

The performance of SigmaSense’s gaming tabletop is a breakthrough for the industry. Touch controls will deliver an even faster response than what can be achieved with high-speed gaming mice, and contaminants like a spilled drink will not interfere with touch responses.

“Even a simple hockey game on a 55 inch or a 65-inch screen has never been possible with low lag, until now,” said Rick Seger, SigmaSense CEO, “Now we can turn screens into gaming centers where you could have multiple players around the table and all with hands and fingers on the screen, playing games, collaborating, competing, but in a fast-paced world where a hockey puck may be flying around, or multiple aliens may be invading.”

Experience the world’s first high-performance gaming platform yourself. Visit SigmaSense at the GIS booth L618 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition center, 4F Hall 1. Touch Taiwan exhibition is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., April 21st through April 23rd.

ABOUT SIGMASENSE

SigmaSense, the global leader in touch sensing performance, is bringing the best user experiences to products ranging from mobile phones and laptops to large monitors and digital signage. We are pioneering a comprehensive sensing technology that delivers 100 to 1000 times improved signal-to-noise performance that was previously not possible. SigmaVision™ capacitive imaging technology provides touch, pressure and object detection to the sensing surface, enabling a new generation of perceptive devices that are interactive and engaging. SigmaHover™ provides a superior touchless experience for public displays as well as any other device that uses touch sensors.

WaterField Unveils Two-in-One iPad Pro + MacBook Sleeve: the Slim, Protective Double-Take

Leave a comment


Double-Take iPad+MacBook Sleeve—protects two devices in any structured or unstructured bag; shown with Indigo wool-blend lining option

Double-Take iPad+MacBook Sleeve

It’s portable like a packing cube so you can transfer it from bag to bag, easily remove it at TSA, or even add a strap to use it as a minimalist shoulder bag. And it’s sleek. It’ll turn some heads.”


SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

To celebrate today’s Apple announcement, San-Francisco maker WaterField Designs introduces the slim and elegant Double-Take iPad and MacBook Sleeve to protect and transport both devices at once. Increasingly, people routinely carry either an iPad Pro and a MacBook or two laptops, one personal and one professional. The modular Double-Take Sleeve, with two padded compartments, a designated Apple Pencil slot, a simple accessory pocket, and the flexibility to transfer it from bag to bag or to carry it over one shoulder, affords dual-device users the agility they need to support their digital lifestyles.

“We hear from more and more customers who always carry two devices, so we designed the Double-Take iPad and MacBook Sleeve to maximize their convenience,” said company owner Gary Waterfield, “Slim, protective, and lightweight, the Double-Take fits two laptops, a tablet and a laptop, two tablets, or one device and accessories. It’s portable like a packing cube so you can transfer it from bag to bag, easily remove it at TSA, or even add a strap to use it as a minimalist shoulder bag. And it’s sleek. It’ll turn some heads.”

The interior of the slim Double-Take consists of two sleeve compartments sewn together accordion-style from wool-blend fabric reminiscent of a handsome wool trench coat. The wool padding cushions the devices and holds them in place while adding beautiful texture and a pop of color. A custom-fitted Apple pencil pocket inside the front compartment keeps the stylus safe and easily accessible, and a rear, open-topped pocket stows a few papers or accessories.

Impact-absorbing foam surrounds the Double-Take Sleeve on the front, back, top, and bottom. Reinforced side seams and corners blunt force from every angle. Nearly-indestructible ballistic nylon, with water-resistant acrylic backing, envelopes the sleeve’s exterior, and a full-grain leather base creates a solid grip and adds further protection.

While the Double-Take stows an iPad and a MacBook with or without a Smart Case (or similarly thin cover), it functions equally well when carrying just one device plus necessities: the extra compartment can hold files, a notebook, or digital accessories. A metal G-hook fastens the sleeve’s padded, lined flap to a choice of nylon loops arranged like a ladder, so gear inside stays secure regardless of volume.

Features at a glance:


  • High-quality materials — 1050 denier ballistic nylon, impact-resistant foam, wool-blend padded lining, full-grain leather, reinforced seams, and a padded flap provide solid iPad and MacBook protection.

  • Organization — Accordion-style wool compartments ease access to the devices, a rear pocket holds small accessories, and a custom Apple Pencil pocket keeps the stylus handy.

  • Flexibility — Adjustable G-hook fastener keeps variable sized contents secure. Two size choices fit up to 13- or 16-inch MacBooks. Optional D-rings and shoulder strap allow for use within another bag or as a stand-alone, ultra-minimal, shoulder bag.

  • Refined design — Classic black ballistic nylon and leather, a textured wool-blend interior in complementary colors, and clean lines create an elegant aesthetic.

The new Double-Take Sleeve joins WaterField Designs’ collection of MacBook and iPad Sleeves, including the SleeveCase, Dash Sleeve, Vero Leather Sleeve, Outback Solo, Outback Duo, Suede Jacket Sleeve, iPad Air Caddy, and more. All WaterField bags and cases are handmade to exacting standards in the company’s San Francisco workshop.
