The standard covers the general physical, electrical, functional, testing, and performance requirements for a mechanized (hands-free) conductive power transfer system primarily for transit buses using an overhead coupler capable of, but not limited to, transferring direct current (DC) power.

According to a report published in 2019 by P&S Intelligence, the U.S. electric bus market size is projected to reach $1,948.5 million by 2024. The market growth is primarily driven by several federal, regional, and state grants and incentive programs. In addition, low cost of ownership, coupled with low maintenance cost of electric buses, specially battery electric buses (BEB) is expected to benefit the market during the forecast period.

As the market expands, the need for the continued standardization of DC power distribution remains, and SAE J3105 addresses the many interfaces required to ensure power delivery is consistent. SAE J3105 defines a conductive power transfer method, including the curbside electrical contact interface, the vehicle connection interface, the electrical characteristics of the DC supply and the communication system. It also covers the functional and dimensional requirements for the vehicle connection interface and supply equipment interface.

“SAE International remains focused on advancing mobility solutions for the benefits of humanity, so as the electric bus market expands in the United States, it is imperative that we modify our standards and approach to ensure safe and reliable usage,” said Jack Pokrzywa, Director of Global Ground Vehicle Standards, SAE International. “SAE J3105 will guide this burgeoning industry to safe and efficient charging solutions that minimize downtime and promote long-term performance for heavy duty applications.”

The publication of the SAE J3105 Standard was published by SAE International’s Hybrid EV group and is accompanied by three supporting documents that detail the connections in J3105:

How do we make the process of online gambling better? First of all, we fight fraud and chargebacks. Secondly, we optimize the onboarding procedures for mobile and web.

TALLIN, Estonia (PRWEB)
January 24, 2020

The evolution of the online gaming and casino market

Online gaming and online casinos have evolved alongside technological advancement and the development of regulations that legalize many forms of online gambling. Europe is expected to witness major growth in the online gambling and betting market due to the legalization of online gambling in various European countries. For example, after the UK passed legislation to legalize online gambling, many other European countries, such as Italy, Spain, and France, followed suit.

Currently, the global online gambling market is anticipated to be valued at more than 94 billion US dollars in 2024. Since 2008, the gross gaming revenue (GGR) from online gaming has increased slightly, a significant proportion of which can be attributed to the rise of mobile gaming solutions on the market. Ten years later, in 2018, approximately half of the online gambling market in Europe was made up of online sports betting.

Millions of people are attracted to the exciting world of online gaming and casinos in order to compete for luxurious wins. However, with the rising numbers of participants, the possibility of fraud also tends to increase. Therefore, creating reliable KYC solutions that utilize up-to-date technologies is the only way to secure a reliable and smooth experience for the present and forthcoming future of online gaming.

Over the past few years, The Gambling Commission has sanctioned progressively firm regulations. One cannot avoid following the directives, but there are means to make them work better for you and use resistance as an improvement.

During the ICE London Conference, GetID is going to present the identity verification solution to over 35,000 professionals in various gaming sectors. GetID’s product plays an important role in the customer onboarding process for online gaming and gambling.

It features:

1. Online identity verification in seconds from mobile or desktop by using native, customizable software development kits

2. An administration panel for fast and easy user management

3. Facial recognition and face-matching solutions

4. Automatic data extraction from documents; checking documents for authenticity.

“GetID has done a great job to develop an A-grade Online Identity Verification solution, and the company’s latest efforts are to popularize the product, work on further enhancement, and create an impact on the industry. Gambling and betting is a business of its own complexity, and strict verification is a must-have; otherwise, this industry will be overwhelmed by fraudsters. We’re about to change the situation here.

How do we make the process of online gambling better? First of all, we fight fraud and chargebacks. Secondly, we optimize the onboarding procedures for mobile and web. Our KYC process is automated and it helps to decrease operational costs,” says Dmitri Laush, CEO of GetID.

Why ICE London?

Held on February 4-6, the ICE London Conference is the World’s Gaming Innovation Showcase. One can meet a global network of gaming professionals across all industries and seniority levels, as it is aimed to provide the best opportunity to build relationships. By bringing together 600+ solutions and 35,000+ professionals across all sectors of gaming, this conference is going to be a complete platform to explore the future of gaming and drive revenue through invaluable meetings and networking opportunities.

Participants are able to learn from gaming industry leaders, through inspirational talks, and panel discussions about overcoming the challenges and capitalizing on market opportunities. The cherry on the cake comes in the form of outstanding hospitality, networking functions, and entertainment, making product discovery, business development, and idea generation fun and professional.

Following its latest success at Slush and Finance Magnates London Summit, one of the leading KYC and security solution providers, GetID picks this new destination to validate online casino/gambling/betting.

About GetID

The project team has successfully implemented a cutting-edge KYC aggregator within the flagship product – GetID. The main goal of this solution is fraud prevention, making such acts as onboarding fake clients and utilizing money laundering schemes with fake documents virtually impossible. But there’s more – this solution is designed to optimize customer onboarding, aiming to speed up and automate the entire process. The company is also working towards digital ID to exclude the need for KYC procedures in every single service, which requires users to download tons of documents and waste their precious time.

The European company will soon welcome attendants at its booth and workshop. Startups willing to join the cause may receive numerous benefits here: GetID had come up with a lucrative pricing offer, excluding irrelevant setups and more. The company plans to grow alongside its clients; the primary reason to take the unnecessary fees out of the equation.

Successful public appearances at the FINANCE MAGNATES LONDON SUMMIT and Slush back in 2019 gave GetID a lot of media attention and brought on new clients. Hopefully, ICE London will also highlight the importance of KYC in the gaming industry.

We’re pleased to give Frontpoint another first-place ranking among providers of Home Security Systems in 2020.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (PRWEB)
January 24, 2020

TopConsumerReviews.com once again gave its best-in-class 5 star rating to Frontpoint, a leading company offering Home Security Systems.

Why are so many people investing in home security systems? First and foremost, there’s no greater protection available for loved ones and personal belongings. Studies show that would-be intruders avoid homes that make it difficult to gain entry – and no one wants to be one of the two million burglaries that happen on a yearly basis in the US. Another reason why home security systems are more popular than ever is because they have become extremely affordable and easy to install: gone are the days of required landlines and costly professional set-up. Instead, some of today’s most technologically-advanced systems can be in place, DIY-style, at the homeowner’s convenience – and can easily be moved from one residence to another with no interruption of service. Customers get all of the bells and whistles, like app-based system controls and 24/7 monitoring, with none of the hassle previously associated with home security systems. It’s never been easier or less costly to protect a home or an apartment.

“A home security system with no contract, 30-day risk free trial, and affordable monthly monitoring fees: sound too good to be true? Frontpoint delivers all of that and much more,” according to Brian Dolezal of TopConsumerReviews.com, LLC. “This company offers everything you could want to protect your home, from basic round-the-clock monitoring of your system to the most high-tech options like night vision cameras and remote access and control. And, you won’t have to deal with pushy sales reps or wait for a technician to install your equipment: all components in Frontpoint home security systems can be easily installed by even the most novice of homeowners. While you’ll have to pay for your equipment upfront, you won’t be locked into lengthy service contracts because Frontpoint’s three tiers of service are all month-to-month. Best of all, you’ve got 30 days to put your entire system to the test, and you’ll get a full refund if anything doesn’t meet your expectations. Frontpoint continues to surpass the competition, with affordable home security coverage and a fantastic track record of customer satisfaction. We’re pleased to give Frontpoint another first-place ranking among providers of Home Security Systems in 2020.”

MIAMI (PRWEB)
January 24, 2020

Laurence Fishburne is best known for his versatile skillset as a performer. Most are familiar with his portrayals in Hollywood hits such as “Boyz n the Hood,” and “Passengers.” The American actor also lends his talents to the educational show “Behind The Scenes”. The show interviews industry professionals about a broad spectrum of issues affecting people from all over the country. A new episode coming to the segment will discuss technology advances in lithium-ion batteries.

The battery plays a crucial role in powering many modern devices. A large number of the tools utilized in today’s world that make day-to-day tasks more comfortable and more efficient rely on the battery for energy. Cell phones, cars, smart homes, and wearable tech are all dependent on batteries. While batteries are a more efficient resource than fossil fuel, there still lies the problem with batteries not lasting very long. Even though operating systems are becoming more energy-saving, a day or two goes by, and a cellphone needs to charge again.

Researchers are seeking out ways to innovate the lithium-ion battery. Some developers are looking to alternative resources to improve the battery, such as sand. The natural resource leads to a three times longer-lasting lithium-ion battery. Advances in modern batteries can lead to a more productive and sustainable lifestyle for many people. “Behind The Scenes” will cover these advances in the battery on an episode coming to the program.

“Behind The Scenes” is a carefully assessed informational program before broadcast to a public viewing audience. The show is receiver of a multitude of awards for its efforts in television.
