Porsche Design and AOC Unveil the Porsche Design AOC AGON PD27


A gaming experience designed to stand any challenge

The exclusive lifestyle brand Porsche Design and AOC, the leader in the gaming monitor market, have come together to introduce the first ever Porsche Design AOC AGON gaming monitor. The 27” (68.58 cm) PD27 provides an experience similar to driving a race car: high octane specifications (27” QHD panel, 240 Hz refresh rate, 0.5 ms MPRT), a sleek, eye-catching, racing-influenced design and a wide range of functionalities to be utilized both on a daily basis and during long gaming sessions. Even before the official launch, the impressive design of this new monitor was honored with the Red Dot Award 2020.

Performance with no compromise on style

Competitive gaming is both accessible and inviting, but the competition itself is fierce. Beginners and pros alike can agree on one key factor; high performance PC equipment is the key to success. Just like a race car driver who anticipates and calculates how to enter the apex of a curve on the track, esports players must react quickly and make decisions in milliseconds. The performance of each piece of equipment is of the utmost importance, and can easily dictate the outcome of a competition. That is why Porsche Design tapped into its motorsports DNA and teamed up with AOC to create a high-performance monitor – specifically for those gamers who are in it to win it.

“With its linear and purist design that blends form and function, the Porsche Design AOC AGON PD27 is a perfect embodiment of the brand’s DNA and overarching design philosophy. Combined with AOC AGON’s innovative and cutting-edge technologies, the new monitor is developed for gamers seeking optimal performance that doesn’t compromise on style,” says Roland Heiler, Chief Design Officer at Porsche Design.

“We are very excited to announce the Porsche Design AOC AGON PD27, which is the first fruit of AOC’s new partnership with Porsche Design. The product is exquisitely crafted to capture the spirit of thrilling, ultra-high performance. It will appeal to serious gamers, or anyone who appreciates the pursuit of perfection,” says David Ray, Marketing Director at Envision Peripherals, Inc.

The monitor’s design is accented by the silver-colored stand element, shaped like the roll cage of a race car. Just as it does in an actual sports car, it provides the user the stability, durability and endurance when adrenaline kicks in. Staying true to Porsche Design’s design philosophy to elegantly blend style and performance, the PD27 can project its logos on the table in different colors, and light up the back of the display to elevate the gaming environment.

Shifting to the next gear

The PD27 is developed for the most ambitious competitive gamers and professional esports enthusiasts around the world. It displays images in QHD resolution (2560×1440) and produces a 240 Hz refresh rate, a perfect combination for demanding players. The PD27 is also certified with VESA’s DisplayHDR 400, providing vivid, lifelike colors and a wide dynamic range that allows users to immerse themselves in the simulated world. Additionally, a very tight curvature of 1000R (1 m radius) surrounds and encapsulates the user, a particularly great feature for the sim-racing community.

The 240 Hz refresh rate reduces the perceivable motion blur, while the 1 ms GtG and 0.5 ms MPRT pixel response times guarantee a clear, ghosting-free gaming experience. With AMD’s FreeSync Premium Pro users experience smooth gameplay, free of tearing. The VA panel’s high brightness of 550 nits ensures undisturbed gameplay at any lighting conditions.

Driving gamer’s success

The PD27 comes with a wireless (IR) keypad, shaped like a center console, to quickly access monitor settings or gaming presets. Users longing for the roar of the flat six-boxer engines in racing games will appreciate the 5W stereo speakers with DTS sound. For everyday functionality, the monitor also comes with a 4-port USB 3.2 hub, 2x HDMI 2.0 and 2x DisplayPort 1.4 inputs.

Availability

The Porsche Design AOC AGON PD27 will be available December 5, 2020 in select Porsche Design stores, online at http://www.porsche-design.com and on Amazon for $799.99 USD.

ProPhotonix introduces 265nm UVC LED Lamp COBRA Clean FX1


265nm UVC LED System

COBRA Clean FX1 UVC LED Lamp

The work in UVC lamps at ProPhotonix began several years ago out of concepts on the matter of neutralizing pathogens at commercial scale. We are now working with and seeking partners in the collaborative design, development and manufacturing of novel UVC LED based products for market adoption.

ProPhotonix Limited, (London Stock Exchange – AIM: PPIX; OTC: STKR), a designer and manufacturer of LED illumination systems and laser diode modules with operations in Ireland and the United Kingdom, today announces the launch of the COBRA Clean FX1, a 265nm UVC LED based lamp providing a rapid development solution disinfection. UVC is a proven method in the disinfection of water, air, and surfaces which has shown to be effective against pathogens such as E. coli, L. innocua, and COVID-19(1,2).

COBRA Clean FX1 is a patent protected, compact, fan-cooled UVC LED lamp in a stackable form factor that produces a uniform line with a peak irradiance of 55 mW/cm2 and peak energy density (dose) of 65 mJ/cm2 at 265nm. COBRA Clean FX1 can be configured with numerous optical and electrical options. LED illumination offers significant benefits versus traditional UV lamps including design flexibility, longer illuminator lifetimes, high stability light output, precise control, thermal management, ozone-free and heavy metal free. The lamp is independently CE and UL certified.

Deep UV is the wavelength range between 100 – 280 nanometers (nm) referred to as UVC. The maximal pathogenic effect occurs between 240-280nm with 265nm showing the most promising peak effectiveness. UVC LEDs are currently available in the wavelength range 255-280nm. The REWATERGY H2020 European Research Grant awarded to ProPhotonix in November 2018, which focuses on water treatment, augments the development of ProPhotonix UVC LED based products. With the release of COBRA Clean FX1, the Company is actively seeking partners to further commercialize this technology.

Commenting on the COBRA Clean FX1 launch, Tim Losik, CEO and President of ProPhotonix, said: “Following the adoption of the Minamata Convention on Mercury in 2013 as a result of the environmental risks associated with the use of mercury, there has been an increased drive to replace mercury lamps with UV light sources. This product is designed to put reliable UVC LED lamps in the hands of innovators to help accelerate adoption of UVC LED lamps in the marketplace. As this product line develops, we intend to introduce more exciting form factors and capabilities for users.”

Also commenting, Ken Reynolds PhD, Business and Technology Manager, said: “The work in UVC lamps at ProPhotonix began several years ago out of concepts on the matter of neutralizing pathogens at commercial scale. We are now working with and seeking partners in the collaborative design, development and manufacturing of novel UVC LED based products for market adoption.”

The 39.6 cm (15.6″) IPS display 16T2 comes with Full HD resolution and can be connected to a laptop, desktop/server or a smartphone through its two USB-C ports (utilizing DisplayPort alternate mode) or its Micro HDMI port. Thanks to the built-in 8000 mAh battery, the 16T2 can be used on-the-go without requiring a power outlet and can even act as a power bank and charge a smartphone. Less than a centimeter in thickness, a featured smart, foldable cover for portrait and landscape orientations and VESA wall mount option make this monitor a great tool for mobile business users as well as mobile gamers, students, IT administrators, small businesses, DIYers, and more. The AOC 16T2 is available on Amazon starting November 9, 2020, for $249.99.

Touch Recognition

Users appreciate how a multi-monitor setup increases productivity and comfort on their desktop, and now with the 16T2 this is also possible in a mobile environment, with the addition of 10-point touch input. With 10 point projective-capacitive touch recognition technology, the display easily detects 10 fingertips at once.

This feature is great for taking notes on the go, getting a digital signature, or dominating the latest mobile games.

This makes the 16T2 a future-proof investment for years to come.

Smart Cover

The 16T2 Smart Cover protects the display surface against dents and scratches inside your bag. While using it, the smart cover transforms into a flexible stand to set up the display in portrait and landscape mode easily,

Equipped for More

When connected via Micro-HDMI, connect the monitor to the PC with the USB-C to USB-A/C to enjoy the touch function. This cable is included in the box. The 16T2 also comes with built-in stereo speakers (2x 1 W).

The 16T2 also acts as a power bank both when switched on and off. When connected to the mains with the USB-C adapter instead, the 16T2 can charge itself and a connected smartphone. 2x USB-C ports on both sides make it possible to charge on the left port and transfer display signal from the right, or vice versa. This makes for a flexible setup that is easily assembled in no time.

Endless Possibilities

The ease of use, flexibility and portability of the AOC 16T2 allow a wide range of use cases:

  • Extending a laptop display for more screen space while working on-the-go
  • As a note-taking tool for students

Marketplace Growth Agency Bobsled Marketing Selects Pacvue As Advertising Technology Partner


Pacvue is the leading enterprise platform for brands, sellers, and agencies to manage eCommerce advertising.

Our mission at Pacvue is to provide the intelligence and tools needed to help brands win in the future of eCommerce, says Melissa Burdick, president of Pacvue.

Bobsled Marketing, the leading agency provider for mid-sized brands selling on today’s major marketplaces, has selected Pacvue as its primary advertising technology partner. Pacvue is the leading enterprise platform for brands, sellers, and agencies to manage eCommerce advertising.

Both companies have been lauded by Business Insider as being part of the top 18 companies powering Amazon’s advertising and seller business.

Bobsled selected Pacvue as its primary technology partner to automate and optimize bidding, and produce insightful analysis for Bobsled’s 70 clients. “Online marketplaces are one of several sales channels for our clients, who are typically mid-sized branded manufacturers. Delivering a highly efficient, effective advertising solution to them is a top priority,” says Kiri Masters, founder of Bobsled Marketing.

Brands who seek the best-in-class functionality across advertising automation and analytics, as well as in strategy and execution of their growth plan, will benefit from the partnership of the two companies.

Bobsled cites three key reasons for selecting Pacvue as its advertising software solution: best-in-class automation and reporting features, marketplace expansion opportunities, and a shared focus on educating the market.

Marketplace expansion opportunities

Pacvue has demonstrated a commitment to delivering solutions for not only the largest eCommerce marketplaces, but for fast-growing platforms as well. One of the first-to-market solutions for Instacart Advertising, Pacvue has already helped dozens of brands to capture shopper demand in this channel, and Pacvue will expand to several additional retailers in 2021.

“Our mission at Pacvue is to provide the intelligence and tools needed to help brands win in the future of eCommerce,” says Melissa Burdick, president of Pacvue. “We will continue to expand into new marketplaces so that brands can make smart investments in the channels where their customers are shopping.”

“We are excited to partner with Pacvue to deliver great outcomes for our clients on the Amazon and Walmart marketplaces, but also to uncover new growth opportunities for clients through platforms like Instacart and other major marketplaces as they come online,” says Masters.

Best-in-class automation and reporting features

Recently, Pacvue ranked first among over 40 tools in the “Amazon Advertising PPC Tools Overview” independent review by David Zimmerman, a Veteran Amazon Advertising Educator & Instructor.

“Our philosophy on software and automation has always been to work with best-in-class partners, rather than losing focus on internal development which can also create poorer outcomes for clients. The features and workflows that Pacvue offers across Amazon, Walmart, and Instacart means that our team spends less time on mundane processes, and more time working with clients on their strategy,” Masters says.

Shared focus on educating the market

Bobsled produces an array of weekly educational content, drawing on best practices developed within the company, which includes blog posts & white papers, and a podcast. Kiri Masters has also been a regular contributor to Forbes’ retail publication since 2018, and has authored two books on the topic of Amazon.

Melissa Burdick speaks at some of the retail industry’s leading conferences and is a frequent guest on Bloomberg Technology. The Pacvue team consists of eCommerce veterans and regularly hosts office hours and educational brown bag sessions on the latest best practices and new developments in marketplace advertising.

“It is important for us to partner with a company that shares our commitment to educating the market and progressing the conversations that brands need to have around their ecommerce channels,” Masters says.

“The eCommerce industry is constantly evolving, and we believe the brands that win will be the ones leaning into new opportunities,” says Burdick.

NFI hopes to encourage the industry to consider the benefits of an electric fleet, ideally to build an infrastructure capable of reducing the industry’s carbon footprint by making electric vehicles more accessible.

Bill Bliem, SVP of Fleet Services at NFI, will speak at ACT Virtual Online Event Series’ Ultra Clean Vehicle Summit on Tuesday, November 17, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. PST. The session, titled “Fleet Case Studies in Electric,” will feature electric truck deployment presentations by leaders at NFI, Daimler Trucks North America, and more. The case studies will aim to answer questions about the successes and challenges of the battery electric heavy-duty trucks that have been deployed in the last year.

NFI is dedicated to exploring new technologies and providing innovative solutions to its customers. As a pioneer in electric trucks, NFI has partnered with industry-leading manufacturers like Daimler North America to test its Freightliner eCascadias in real-world conditions, runs Kalmar Ottawa electric tractors at its California distribution centers, and most recently added two Volvo VNR electric trucks to its electric fleet. Recognized as a four-time award-winning EPA SmartWay Partner, as well as SmartWay High Performer, NFI’s commitment to building a sustainable fleet and infrastructure are unmatched.

“Investing in electric vehicles and minimizing our environmental impact are both top priorities at NFI. Our company’s dedication to social responsibility compelled us to drive the partnerships we have with leading manufacturers,” says Bliem. “As NFI continues to push boundaries at the forefront of innovation, we are excited to share our experiences with the transportation community at events like ACT Virtual. We hope to encourage the industry to consider the benefits of an electric fleet, ideally to build an infrastructure capable of reducing the industry’s carbon footprint by making electric vehicles more accessible.”
