Leave a comment



HOUSTON (PRWEB)

Different from the current real estate search engines that are built on Graphical User Interfaces(GUI) that require its users to click and tap pre-filtered boxes that render basic results, DOSS is built on a voice-activated Intelligent User Interface(IUI) that’s aiming to radically evolve the way people search and transact real estate online. Users can speak, text, or type any question about any property in the country to get accurate, easy, and instant answers to make the best decision about the biggest purchase most people make in their lives… a house!

Mr. Capper launched the world’s first real estate search engine that featured Multiple Listing Service(MLS) homes on the internet in the late 1990’s. In 2004, his company eRealty was acquired by Prudential Financial Inc.

Joining the DOSS Advisory Team is Dr. Joan Palmiter Bajorek. A resident of Seattle, Dr. Bajorek is the CEO and Founder of Women in Voice (WIV). Ex-Nuance Sr. Conversational Designer, data-driven researcher, and voice technologist, Dr. Bajorek has 8+ years of experience in both the execution and strategy of conversational AI products across enterprise, agency, and startup projects.

Cell Phone Resale Moves Online in the Digital Age

Leave a comment



WILMINGTON, N.C. (PRWEB)

Cell phones are ubiquitous in today’s society, with updated versions constantly hitting the market. Everyone wants the latest technology thanks to the improved functions that each new generation of cell phones offers, from better cameras to higher memory to improved services. That fast pace of innovation means that it’s difficult for consumers to keep up with what’s happening due to the high price that new cell phones cost.

Consumers in today’s marketplace are not only savvy when it comes to the technology, they’re also pressed for time. While people want to make the most of the substantial investment that their cell phones represent, often they don’t know how to get the best price when reselling. Looking online for options can be confusing and frustrating, with a wide array of options. Add to that the history of complicated contracts that held cell phones captive with their carrier for many years, and it’s a recipe for frustration. Modern cell phone contracts have loosened, allowing consumers more options to take their used cell phones to a third party for resale.

Even phones that are locked or seemingly unusable can often be sold, allowing cell phone users to get at least part of their money back. Many owners of cell phones don’t realize that older or unusable phones still have the potential to be sold. In light of the financial squeeze that families feel today, it’s important that people know that they can put some of that money back in their pocket

Though online retail has exploded in popularity in the last decade, consumers are still wary of online resale sites for high priced goods like cell phones. Finding a site that’s both trustworthy and that offers a high return on investment is challenging. Recell Cellular has been buying and selling cell phones for nearly a decade online, earning an accreditation and A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. It’s important for cell phone owners to research online sellers that are both well reviewed and have the backing of third party groups like the BBB in order to ensure that they are treated fairly and to prevent fraud.

Of the prevalence of online buyers of cell phones and customer concerns of fraud, CEO of Recell Cellular Jason Young said “We always encourage potential customers to research our company and find out for themselves that they’re both getting a good deal and that they can trust us with this expensive technology. Return customer and referrals have become the backbone of our business in the digital marketplace.”

In the modern world of constantly changing tech, many people have money they didn’t know they had in the palm of their hand. Selling a cell phone online has never been easier or more reliable, and it’s a business that’s expected to grow with abandon in the next few years as technology continues to speed forward.

About Recell Cellular: Since 2011, Recell Cellular has been buying and selling used cell phones, working with thousands of satisfied customers to get them the best price and the fastest turnaround. With online sales options for every major cell phone brand and carrier, cell phone customers can be confident in getting a great experience with Recell Cellular.

3R Technology Makes Emergency Saving a Real-Time Benefit for Employees

Leave a comment


News Image

“I am so excited that companies like 3R technology recognize the need to help their employees save for emergencies and took steps to join forces with us here at Secure,” said Suze Orman, co-founder of Secure.


SEATTLE (PRWEB)

3R Technology, an IT asset disposition and e-waste recycling company recently began offering a new benefit to its workforce, an emergency savings program created by Secure. Secure, the benefit solution for emergency savings, launched its innovative emergency savings program SecureSave with employers like 3R Technology, who worked with Secure to support the platform’s development during 2020. In just the first few weeks, over 30% of 3R Technology’s employees have opted into the program and additional signups are expected in the coming months as they learn more.

“We are incredibly excited to offer our employees SecureSave, an emergency savings program that is not only easy for us to manage but for employees to understand and to immediately realize the direct benefit it provides,” said Glen Gaidos, CEO and founder of 3R. “We anticipate that with SecureSave, it will help lower employees’ stress and help them be better prepared to handle unexpected expenses. Also, we feel that with SecureSave as a benefit, it will help us recruit, retain and increase productivity in the years ahead, especially given the appeal of this benefit to a younger workforce.”

3R Technology has always worked to offer market-leading benefits. With Secure’s emergency savings program, they have an additional tool to support their employees with short-term needs and create a path to improved long-term financial savings. With SecureSave, 3R Technology team members can save automatically and get a matching contribution from their employer both for signing up and for ongoing participation.

For companies in environmental or industrial sectors, upwards of 40% of employees don’t have emergency savings, and 60% report being stressed about finances, making the SecureSave program extremely timely and relevant. 3R Technology has a generous 401(k) plan already in place for long-term savings, making Secure’s emergency savings program a perfect complement for short term, emergency financial needs. With SecureSave, an organization is on the cutting-edge of employee benefits in offering a well-rounded savings program that suits any employee need.

The demand for emergency savings is real, especially since the pandemic’s onset and the many stresses it has placed on millions of families. A Federal Reserve survey found that almost 40 percent of participants wouldn’t be able to cover an unexpected $400 expense using cash, and a Bankrate poll found another 40 percent of Americans would need to borrow money to cover a $1,000 emergency. Given the new realities of the state of emergency savings, employers are looking now more than ever to bring this benefit to their workforce.

“I am so excited that companies like 3R technology recognize the need to help their employees save for emergencies and took steps to join forces with us here at Secure. I will forever say a financially secure employee is the key to a company’s overall success – just that simple,” said Suze Orman, co-founder of Secure.

Secure provides a low-cost, easy-to-maintain program that can greatly impact employees; they can focus their efforts on doing their jobs well with less stress. Employees appreciate that it makes it easy to save and gives them full access to funds anytime, for any reason, and without penalty or cost.

Enrollment in Secure’s platform is open to all employers. To sign up or schedule a demo, visit http://www.securesave.com.

About Secure

Headquartered in Kirkland, Washington, Secure is a financial technology platform designed to help individuals build emergency savings through an employer benefits platform. It was co-founded by Devin Miller, Bassam Saliba, and Suze Orman, who realized that emergency savings needed to be easier and more accessible to help solve the growing savings crisis in the US. Secure’s emergency savings program, SecureSave, makes an immediate impact on employee lives; by increasing financial wellness through a program that is easy to deploy and manage at low cost of ownership for the employer. Most of all, it is well received and accepted as adding value to working for a company that cares. To learn more about the company, visit the website at https://www.securesave.com.

Introducing bluMe HD, A New Digital Receiver for Your Hi-Fi Audio System

Leave a comment


Auris introduces the bluMe HD

Auris paid specific attention to background noise that can get transmitted through bluetooth signals and engineered the codec to reduce it, resulting in a listening experience with higher quality than a CD.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Founded in 2013, Auris is a team of friends, engineers, audio geeks, designers, and explorers who came together to develop audio solutions to enhance modern life and simplify music listening. To date, Auris has now developed three core audio appliances; Amplify, BeamIt and now bluMe HD. Each one features a unique design, setting, and purpose, allowing you to enhance the way you listen to your music, and bluMe HD is designed to introduce a digital solution to your existing high fidelity audio system.

They’ve found that their existing high fidelity audio systems often don’t pair well with smartphones or other modern devices we store digital music on, and so they developed bluMe HD, a bluetooth audio receiver that can make any audio system wireless. Designed with high fidelity Qualcomm aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, and AAC decoders, this device offers audiophile grade 384kHz/32bit DAC for superior, unsampled playback. Auris paid specific attention to background noise that can get transmitted through bluetooth signals and engineered the codec to reduce it, resulting in a listening experience with higher quality than a CD. Traditional bluetooth signals can also introduce latency issues when using your audio system to view video, resulting in the sound and video becoming misaligned and ruining lip sync. With aptX Low Latency, they were able to reduce this delay to under 40 milliseconds, down from the 170-270 milliseconds found in other bluetooth audio codecs.

Additionally, Auris worked hard to ensure that bluMe HD could be set up quickly and easily, with no need for an app or a connection to your wi-fi network, and without requiring any modifications to your existing setup. They also wanted to ensure maximum flexibility for users of bluMe HD, and included a high gain antenna which can support long streaming from as far as 100 feet away and reach several rooms in the home at once. This superior wireless solution offers over three times as much range as a regular adapter, and is designed to eliminate audio dropouts, meaning you won’t randomly lose quality. With bluMe HD you’ll be in control of all your audio like never before, with the ability to enjoy your favorite music streaming service, podcast, or internet radio station with hi-fi audio quality and the flexibility of a wireless connection, without hassle or complicated setup.

Auris is proud of what they’ve accomplished and are continuing to explore the many ways that wireless technologies can enhance how users enjoy content without sacrificing audio quality. Auris believes that bluMe HD is the latest example of this, and are pleased to announce it is now available for purchase directly from their site for $119.00 in two distinct colors, black and silver. All orders include free worldwide shipping and are shipped within 24 hours, and are granted a 1-year limited warranty, with terms available here.

Sydor Technologies wins third $200,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant of 2021 from the US Department of Energy (DOE)

Leave a comment


“A robust and commercially supported high voltage pulser with a reliable self-test and graceful failure mechanism will enable facilities like the future EIC to operate reliably at levels not possible today.” – Dr. David Garand, PhD, Solution Scientist, Sydor Technologies


ROCHESTER, N.Y. (PRWEB)

Sydor Technologies, a global provider of advanced x-ray detectors and specialized high voltage electronics for critical science missions and fundamental research, announced today that it has been awarded a new Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant worth $200,000 by the US Department of Energy. With this latest award, Sydor Technologies reaffirms its commitment to adding manufacturing capability to its Rochester, NY facility for producing high voltage, super fast pulse generators for the global synchrotron and accelerator market.

This Phase I grant will enable Sydor to deliver a detailed design and produce a low voltage demonstrator unit for testing and exploring new features. Building upon an existing pulser architecture with a graceful failure mode, this design, when scaled to 50 kV, will be capable of supporting the planned Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) injection system at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). No commercially available pulser provides the output waveform capable of maintaining the ultra-fast pulse rise times at the > 50 kV amplitude required for these facilities.

The advances made in this proposed work will provide critical infrastructure at national laboratories like BNL as well as to those accelerators undergoing upgrades to new particle species and/or faster, shorter particle bunches or light pulses. Principal investigator at Sydor Technologies, Dr. David Garand, comments, “A robust and commercially supported high voltage pulser with a reliable self-test and graceful failure mechanism will enable facilities like the future EIC to successfully fulfill the mission developed over the past decade and to operate reliably at levels not possible today.”

AtmosFX Collaborates with KNB EFX for Season 2 of Shudder’s Creepshow

Leave a comment


AtmosFX was proud to provide the werewolf transformation for the Creepshow Holiday Special

“I’ve always loved Halloween,” said Nicotero. “And after I discovered how easy it is to create Hollywood-level effects at home with AtmosFX Digital Decorations, I reached out to them to see if they could help us for two episodes of Season 2.”


SEATTLE (PRWEB)

AtmosFX, the holiday decorating company known for inventing projection-based home decorating, is proud to announce its collaboration with Greg Nicotero and KNB EFX on visual effects for two episodes of Shudder’s Creepshow.

Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, will soon start broadcasting Season 2 episodes of the anthology series, which shattered all Shudder records when it debuted last October. The show is executive produced by showrunner Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead) and based on George A. Romero’s iconic 1982 movie of the same name.

This collaboration came about due to Nicotero’s enjoyment of Halloween-themed AtmosFX Digital Decorations and his desire to work with AtmosFX for this show.

“I’ve always loved Halloween,” said Nicotero. “And after I discovered how easy it is to create Hollywood-level effects at home with AtmosFX Digital Decorations, I reached out to them to see if they could help us for two episodes of Season 2.”

AtmosFX’s founders Peter Reichert and Pete Williams were excited for the opportunity to work with Nicotero and KNB EFX, the special effects company he founded in 1988. The company handles the creature and makeup effects for Creepshow, among many other shows and movies.

“We’re big fans of Greg from his recent work with Creepshow and The Walking Dead all the way back to the amazing makeup he did on horror favorites like Army of Darkness, In The Mouth of Madness, Bride of Re-Animator and so many more. When he reached out to us we knew we wanted to work with him,” said AtmosFX CEO Peter Reichert.

“We created a custom werewolf transformation that was in the recent Creepshow Holiday Special “Shapeshifters Anonymous” episode, and some of our Creepy Crawlies 2 Digital Decorations will also appear in the upcoming “Pesticide” episode which will air on April 8,” said AtmosFX Director of Production Pete Williams. “We can’t wait to watch it!”

In addition to creating the werewolf transformation, AtmosFX released five new Halloween-themed digital decoration collections as well as three new collections for Christmas and Hanukkah in 2020. AtmosFX is currently developing a slew of new decorations for 2021.

Creepshow smashed records for Shudder in number of viewers, new subscriber sign-ups and total minutes streamed to become the most watched program in Shudder history. It then had a successful run on AMC. The show was a hit with critics as well as fans, emerging as one of 2019’s best-reviewed new genre series, with a 97% Fresh rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes®. The inaugural season starred David Arquette, Adrienne Barbeau, Tobin Bell, Big Boi, Jeffrey Combs, Kid Cudi, Bruce Davison, Giancarlo Esposito, Dana Gould, Tricia Helfer and DJ Qualls and featured adaptations of stories by Stephen King, Joe Hill, Joe R. Lansdale, Josh Malerman and others.
