SkyTouch’s Customer Advisory Board meeting discusses latest industry trends, where the industry is headed and how they can serve the needs of hoteliers today


SkyTouch Technology, the Hotel Operations Platform and hospitality industry leader, discussed some of the impacts of their Customer Advisory Board (CAB) meeting, which took place in early October, including giving SkyTouch a more intimate understanding of how the product is used in a live environment.

Time was also spent discussing the latest industry trends, where the industry is headed and how to ensure the SkyTouch platform is always meeting the needs of the hotel property and the companies operating them.

“Our customers are at the heart of all we do, so understanding their challenges at events like these is critical as we drive priorities heading into 2020 and beyond.” – Brandon Hurlbert, Sr. Director Business Operations & Analytics, SkyTouch Technology.

CAB gathered together some of the industry leaders and they discussed factors impacting their hotel portfolios, as well as uncovering new ways to mutually grow business profitability through a strong partnership. As an example, with employee turnover at an all-time high in the hospitality industry, hotels value SkyTouch’s easy-to-use platform and simplified training modules provided which can help get new staff members up to speed in less than two full shifts.

With CAB’s guidance, SkyTouch is positioned to continue delivering a core platform that helps their customers drive business to their hotels.

World Wide Stereo Celebrates 40 Years with a Show Stopping Sale


It’s called “The Bigger, Badder, Better-Than-Black Friday, 40th Anniversary Sale,” and it’s the cherry on top of World Wide Stereo’s year-long anniversary celebration. According to CEO and Founder Bob Cole, “this was the goal all along – our way of thanking customers, friends and fans with the biggest sale in the store’s four-decade history. And given the deals we have ready to go, that’s not hype, that’s a fact.”

To kick things off, the company today launched a multi-media advertising campaign to spread the word: three days only, November 8th, 9th and 10th, at both World Wide Stereo locations in Montgomeryville and Ardmore. The biggest news: discounts as high as 80%-off top brands in every department, from speakers to headphones, receivers to turntables, car audio and more – preview a few of the offers here, with more surprises revealed in store. Further, in addition to sale prices, any customer who spends $1000 or more on an audio system can earn up to $300 in World Wide Stereo Holiday Shopping Bucks, which they can spend on anything in the store.

In typical World Wide Stereo fashion, the occasion will be equal parts “major sale” and “fun event”, with “The Dapper Doughnut” company (fellow Best of Philly 2019 recipient) making fresh-made donuts on site, and the folks from “Top Hat Espresso” serving up gourmet Hot Chocolate & Espresso at a pop-up barista bar. Shoppers and browsers can spin the World Wide Stereo prize wheel and, with a little luck, win speakers or headphones from Bose, Klipsch, and Sonos – or even Eagles tickets. And any customer who says “happy birthday” to any salesperson (in honor of the 40th anniversary) will take home a retro edition World Wide Stereo tee shirt. See full details on the event here.

To create the kind of lively-yet-intimate, loud-but-sounds-great atmosphere the two stores are known for, customers can expect to see and hear music playing on the industry’s most exquisite music systems, and experience “next-level” home theater demonstrations throughout the day. Audio/video experts will also be on hand to discuss the latest AI and Smart home technologies for the home: from custom window shades and lighting, to enterprise-grade WIFI accessible in every room and every corner of the property.

As always, no-interest financing is available up to 18 months, and World Wide Stereo’s “holiday price guarantee” will be in full effect.

SWAGTRON Adds Gears, Bigger Battery to Popular EB7 Folding Electric Bike


Best folding ebikes

The upgraded version of SWAGTRON’s popular EB7 sees the addition of gears, a larger battery for improved range, a longer seat post and limited edition orange color.

The EB7 is one of our best-selling folding e-bikes. But we knew it could be better. We listened to feedback from customers, and made small changes that will have a big impact on versatility and day-to-day performance.

SWAGTRON™, maker of some of the most affordable electric bikes for sale, today announces an upgraded version of its popular EB7 folding e-bike. Compared to the existing EB7 Elite, the new EB7 Plus sees the addition of gears and a larger battery for improved range. Other changes include a longer seat post to better fit taller riders and initial availability in a limited edition orange colorway.

“The EB7 is one of our best-selling folding e-bikes,” says Jason Wakefield, CMO. “But we knew it could be better. We listened to feedback from customers, and made small changes that will have a big impact on versatility and day-to-day performance.”

The addition of a 7-speed Shimano SIS gear system makes the bike more versatile for pedaling, especially when conquering steeper hills without using the motor. The EB7 Plus also gets a larger 6.4Ah battery that bumps the range from 15 to 20 miles per charge. The battery remains removable for easy charging and the ability to swap for a freshly charged battery (sold separately) if need be.

The EB7 Plus also retains the smooth and powerful 350-watt motor, 18.6 mph top speed (throttle only), 16-inch wheels, LED headlight, bar-mounted display, rear suspension and general styling of its predecessor, most notably the sleek, angular lines of its hydroformed aluminum frame.

Dual disc brakes provide consistent stopping power in any weather. And the ability to quickly fold (approximately 10 seconds) to a compact 39.4 by 27.6 inches makes it the perfect cycling companion when space is at a premium for storage and transport.

Mostly known for its compact and folding electric bikes, SWAGTRON also recently released a series of full-size electric bikes, including city bikes and cruisers.

The EB7 Plus folding electric bike retails for $770 but is available for an introductory price of $699.99 at SWAGTRON.com, Amazon and other fine retailers.

Slash Electronics Time-To-Market & Costs Using Reference Designs For OEM Rack Mount Custom System Enclosures


https://www.prweb.com/

Electronic Enclosures, Inc. Logo

These 19” rack mount chassis reference designs and accompanying hot-swap modules were developed by the team at Electronic Enclosures, Inc. spearheaded by Don Goss, CTO. This innovation was borne from the need to provide resources reducing customer’s time-to-market and development costs while improving a product’s lifespan. The revenue projecting bell curve of a product’s lifespan is greatly improved by an early market introduction. Additionally, being first or early to market will outpace imitators, increase margins and further reduce costs.

After decades of developing custom rack mount system enclosures from scratch for OEMs the team determined that a series of flexible reference designs could cover a broad spectrum of customer’s system electromechanical architecture requirements, saving customers significant time and money. From a customer’s system requirements one can select an appropriate reference design from the many options and quickly stretch it into shape. Then, very quickly incorporate required modules for power, cooling, field replaceable units (FRUs), etc.

The flexibility to immediately make modifications to adhere to customer’s requirements is key. “After reviewing years of switches, routers, servers, etc., for telco, medical, industrial, commercial, aerospace and defense equipment, we developed this modular reference design system where each implementation results in a unique system. We can go from a customer’s concept to manufacturing in less than half the time,” says Goss. Using these reference design resources a custom system concept demonstrating electromechanical requirements can be ready to present in a day, not a week or even more.

As the mechanical design is modified the manufacturing documentation parametrically follows. The rack mount chassis reference design system can go from concept to CDR to estimating and manufacturing very quickly. This can include a full box-build. Time-to-market is critical, as is cost. This flexible modular system reduces both.

Electronic Enclosures, Inc., has just launched a website specific to custom rack mount enclosure designs. Visit https://19rackmountchassis.com for extensive information and examples demonstrating how flexible rack mount system reference designs come together to save time and money for custom rack mount system solutions.

Electronic Enclosures Inc., and its business has evolved over several decades to reflect and keep pace with the evolution of the electronics industry. In recent years the company has become more focused on higher-end, hi-tech electronic systems to provide design, manufacturing and box-build services.

FaceTec Announces $30,000 Liveness Detection Spoof Bounty Program


We’ve worked tirelessly to create Liveness Detection that can be trusted in real-world unsupervised scenarios. Our millions of users know ZoOm is already the best defense against digital identity fraud, but we believe it can become even stronger.

FaceTec, the leader in 3D face authentication software, announced today its first-ever public biometric spoof bounty program. ZoOm 3D Liveness Detection is the first and only biometric certified to Levels 1 & 2 in NIST-iBeta Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) testing guided by the ISO 30107-3 standard, and explained in-depth on https://liveness.com. ZoOm has proven to be the most secure Liveness Detection available for the over 10 billion smart devices and webcams in use today, and now FaceTec is putting its software through the ultimate global security test.

After over five years of intensely focused development, ZoOm has been trained to detect tens-of-millions of digital and physical spoof artifacts, including hi-res photos and videos, life-like masks, and mannequin heads. Early on, many of these artifacts could trick the system into returning a positive liveness result, but they are now easily caught by FaceTec’s proprietary AI.

Bounty programs are a tried-and-true method of improving software systems, but the process has not been widely put to use in biometrics until now.

The ZoOm spoof bounty program follows standard bounty program rules, and is open to most individuals, regardless of location. To participate in the program, please visit: https://bounty.zoomlogin.com/signin/

The FaceTec spoof bounty program’s goal is to uncover potentially unknown vulnerabilities in the Liveness AI so they can be patched to elevate ZoOm’s security even higher. There are three progressively more sophisticated spoof artifact categories, representing Levels 1, 2 & 3 in the NIST-iBeta PAD testing criteria. Each category has a corresponding bounty, which in total equal $30,000 in possible payouts. Information about the spoof categories can be found here: https://dev.zoomlogin.com/zoomsdk/#/spoof-bounty-program

“We’ve worked tirelessly to create Liveness Detection that can be trusted in real-world unsupervised scenarios. Our millions of users know ZoOm is already the best defense against digital identity fraud, but we believe it can become even stronger,” said Kevin Alan Tussy, CEO of FaceTec. “We look forward to learning what new, imaginative ideas clever testers will employ to try to spoof ZoOm. And if any are successful, we will immediately create a new patch to stop the bypass. It’s a win-win situation for us, the bounty program participants, and, most importantly, our users.”

More About ZoOm

ZoOm’s advanced AI technology accurately matches 3D FaceMaps while concurrently verifying three-dimensionality and detecting dozens of human liveness traits with a fast, friendly and intuitive user interface. Cross-platform and cross-device compatible, ZoOm works on all modern smart devices and PCs with webcams, and is the only viable universal biometric replacement for passwords.

ZoOm features include:


  • NIST-NVLAP iBeta-Certified Levels 1&2 Anti-Spoofing Liveness Detection
  • Patented UI generates data-rich 3D FaceMap from standard 2D cameras
  • World-leading 1-in-4.2 million FAR at less than 1% FRR
  • Unshareable, unphishable 3D FaceMap ensures trusted, unsupervised – KYC-onboarding and ongoing logins across devices and platforms
  • 100% software, runs on all modern smartphones, tablets, and PCs with webcams
  • Integrated 3D face-to-photo ID matching UI
  • Integrated anonymous age estimation
  • Familiar, fast, intuitive interface enables 98-99% first-time-user success and daily use
  • Simple to integrate, localize-customize, deploy and manage

Developers can download the ZoOm demo app directly from ZoOmLogin.com for iOS, Android and any webcam-enabled browser, and the ZoOm developer SDKs are available free at https://dev.zoomlogin.com/zoomsdk/#/downloads.

Light Bulb Retailer Shines Bright with Top 5-Star Rating from TopConsumerReviews.com


News Image

When you need new light bulbs, especially the hard-to-find varieties, you can save yourself time and money by shopping at Lamps Plus.

TopConsumerReviews.com once again gave its best-in-class 5 star rating to Lamps Plus, a leader among online providers of Light Bulbs.

From lamps and chandeliers to outdoor floodlights and accent lighting, there’s no shortage of fixtures in a home that uses light bulbs. Unfortunately, when a bulb burns out, it can be difficult to find the exact replacement. Big-box home improvement stores often carry a limited selection, especially when considering specialized light bulbs like LEDs. For that reason, many customers take advantage of the convenience offered by online shopping: the best light bulb retailers on the internet even have handy guides to help people determine the exact bulb they need, without the hassle of driving around town hoping to find the right one in stock. Better yet, most online providers of light bulbs offer them at prices that often beat traditional brick-and-mortar stores.

“When you need new light bulbs, especially the hard-to-find varieties, you can save yourself time and money by shopping at Lamps Plus,” encouraged Brian Dolezal of TopConsumerReviews.com, LLC. “You’re sure to find what you’re looking for in their inventory of more than 700 different types of light bulbs. And, if you’re not positive which kind will fit your fixture, Lamps Plus has a terrific ‘Easy Bulb Finder’ tool that eliminates the guesswork. You can also reach their customer service staff, all of whom are American Lighting Association experts. Lamps Plus takes customer satisfaction to a new level with a 120% price match policy, 60-day return policy with no restocking fees, and free shipping on any order of at least $50.
