Orbit Research announces support for the new USB HID Standard for Braille Displays

Leave a comment



WILMINGTON, Del. (PRWEB)

Orbit Research today announced that it has introduced support for the newly released USB HID standard for braille displays. It is the first developer and manufacturer of braille displays to support the new standard which eliminates the need for special software or drivers and enables plug-and-play operation between electronic braille displays and devices such as computers and smartphones.

As an innovator and leader in the field of refreshable braille, Orbit Research was instrumental in proposing the need in the industry for a common and open communication protocol between refreshable braille displays and screen reading software. In collaboration with industry leaders including Apple, Microsoft and Google, Orbit Research and other companies jointly worked towards creating a USB standard that allows braille displays to communicate with screen-reader software on diverse operating systems and hardware platforms. This now minimizes and possibly even eliminates the need for each refreshable braille display to be tested with each screen-reader every time a new version of the software or firmware is released.

Orbit Research today released a software update for its flagship refreshable braille display product, the Orbit Reader 20, making it the first braille display in the world to support the new standard.

“We are very proud to be the first braille display company to implement the new USB standard.” said Dr. Gina Spagnoli, Orbit Research’s founder. “We experienced first-hand the challenges in ensuring smooth interoperability between our first braille display product and screen-readers. The resources required to do this on an ongoing basis are enormous, especially considering the fact that there are over half a dozen popular screen-readers that our products support. Some screen-reader vendors even require substantial fees to be paid for testing compatibility, making interoperability unaffordable for smaller new players in the market who have worked very hard to produce affordable low-cost displays for the first time. We hope that the new standard will encourage more players to enter this field and look forward to the standard being adopted by all screen-reader and operating system vendors. This is yet another step towards making braille affordable for users in developing countries.”

The updated software for the Orbit Reader 20 can be downloaded from the Orbit Research website http://www.orbitresearch.com and also includes other feature enhancements.

About Orbit Research:

Orbit Research develops and manufactures innovative and affordable products that enable an independent lifestyle for people who are blind or visually impaired. Founded with the mission to fulfill the urgent need for affordable assistive technology products, the company has introduced breakthrough products like the Orion family of accessible scientific and graphing calculators, the iBill Talking Banknote Identifier and the Orbit Reader 20 refreshable braille display that define the state-of-the-art in features, functionality, convenience and affordability.

Sign Language Interpreter Alan Abarbanell to Perform at Kalamazoo Valley Community College on Oct. 4

Leave a comment



KALAMAZOO, Mich. (PRWEB)

Sign language interpreter Alan Abarbanell will perform his Abababa Farewell Tour at 7 p.m. on Oct. 4 in Dale B. Lake Auditorium at Kalamazoo Valley Community College’s Texas Township Campus. The performance is free and open to the community. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

For more than 10 years, Abarbanell has toured the U.S. with his critically acclaimed, one-man show, “The Abababa Road Tour” chronicling his experiences growing up hearing in a deaf family. ABABABA–a name given to him by a friend who could not pronounce Abarbanell – is a proud coda (Child of Deaf Adults). Alan wrote this show as a loving tribute to his deaf heritage and coda family. Each performance is dedicated to Alan’s parents Joe and Yetta Abarbanell whom he credits with his sense of humor, creativity and love for his community.

Abarbanell takes audiences on a roller coaster ride of emotion – first pulling them through the hilarious rush and shocking twists of his youth, then plunging them into the tragedy and loss that followed, only to hurl them toward laughter once again. With the simple wave of a hand, Abarbanell renders each audience exhausted from gales of laughter and torrents of tears by the show’s end.

Abarbanell is a veteran sign language interpreter originally from Chicago who, in addition to his 30 years of freelance work, has lectured nationally on the issues of interpreter ethics and coda family issues.

Excy Announces New Exercise Equipment Rental Program to Make Therapeutic Cycling More Accessible for Prehab, Rehab, and Post Rehab

Leave a comment


New Excy XCS Pro for Physical Therapy Table or Bed Bike Leg Pedal Exercises

New Excy XCS Pro for Physical Therapy Table or Bed Bike Leg Pedal Exercises

I love that Excy is small enough to fold up and fit in my closet, yet performs better than the recumbent bike that turned into a dust collector and couldn’t be used after having stroke complications from postpartum heart failure


SEATTLE (PRWEB)

Excy (http://www.excy.com), the leader in quality portable full-body cycling equipment, today announced it will provide month-to-month and rent-to-own programs to make its high-end exercise equipment more accessible.

The Excy portable exercise bike integrates thousands of dollars of upper and lower body cycling equipment into a single compact device that is used by hospitals, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and consumers. Excy’s patented device adjusts easily to become a gym quality recumbent exercise bike, upper body ergometer, step cycle, bed pedal exerciser, and range of motion trainer. Excy also provides a free mobile coaching application for Android and iOS with live, on-demand, and guided training from physical therapists. Rental fees vary based on the model and terms selected. Products can be returned and payments stopped at any time.

“We’ve been using Excy in our physical therapy clinics for nearly two years and love the versatility. We can easily set Excy up on a table and use it as an upper body ergometer or have a patient remain sitting to use it as a recumbent bicycle,” said Julie Vanni, PT, DPT with Biojunction Sports Therapy in Seattle. “Excy equipment’s size and portability make it perfect for our clinics that aren’t able to have a full gym’s worth of cardio or strengthening equipment. Excy provides us with one compact device that’s great for cardiovascular work, range of motion, and strengthening. We’ve been able to use Excy with anyone from our young athletes to our elderly patients. I’m excited about the new rental programs for PTs and patients and hope people take advantage of Excy’s size and versatility to help produce better outcomes. Patients with access to Excy will have greater continuity of care between the clinic and home.”

Excy’s Unique Patented Approach Unmatched in Quality and Versatility

The Excy portable full-body cycling device turns any chair into a quality recumbent exercise bike, tones and sculpts arms with versatile upper body ergometer positions, and strengthens legs with floor, desk, bed, and step cycling. Weighing just 14 pounds, all Excy portable exercise bikes are capable of light to athletic performance levels for cardio, strength training, balance, flexibility, and range of motion exercises. Quiet, bi-directional resistance with a range of 2-70 pounds allows you to pedal arms or legs with light or heavy forces while sitting, standing, kneeling, or lying down. The company offers 30 on-demand training videos in its free app from physical therapists, as well as guided interval clocks to help keep people motivated.

Consistent Access to Medical Fitness Drives Demand for Excy’s Rental Programs

The founding story of Excy starts with Michele Mehl, a busy mom and technology-marketing professional who broke her leg and got a blood clot. Her story has resonated with others battling temporary injuries and is the primary driver of the rent-to-own program. Like Mehl, those recovering from a lower extremity injury or surgery are turning to Excy for arm bike workouts while having non-weight bearing exercise restrictions. As restrictions are removed and weight-bearing exercises are allowed, they are then coordinating their lower extremity rehabilitation on Excy with their physical therapists. Rent-to-own programs are in response to Excy customers living with longer-term disabilities, chronic conditions, and injuries like Parkinson’s disease, MS, arthritis, heart disease, POTS and more. Since Excy is portable, the device is easy for people to coordinate with their physical therapist, doctor, or personal trainer specializing in medical fitness to create custom therapeutic cycling exercise experiences for home, work, and while traveling to achieve successful health outcomes.

“I love that Excy is small enough to fold up and fit in my closet, yet performs better than the recumbent bike that turned into a dust collector and couldn’t be used after having stroke complications from postpartum heart failure,” said Excy customer Kristy who lives in Redmond, WA. Kristy got a new heart in July and is supported with home physical therapy and occupational therapy services offered by Evergreen Health in Kirkland, WA. “With Excy, I can pedal it as a recumbent bike from my wheelchair under the supervision of my home physical therapists. But what’s even cooler is that I can use the same device with my home occupational therapists as we work on rehabilitating my partially paralyzed arm. Excy is playing a critical role in my home rehabilitation as I work hard to be the best, healthiest, and most independent person I can be.”

How the Excy Exercise Equipment Program Works

*Rent-to-Own Program: Available for all Excy products at retail costs. The programs require a small down payment, with remaining payments divided into monthly installments. Down payments and monthly terms vary based on the product selected and start for as little as $299 down and $34 per month. The renter owns the device at the end of the term.

*Month-to-Month Rentals: Available for Excy’s most popular XCS 260 model. The down payment is $149 and $59 per month.

Excy Customers in Action


“We understand that many people who need access to our device have lost income or gained medical expenses due injury, illness or a disability, yet have medical fitness requirements to help improve their health,” said Excy co-founder and CEO Michele Mehl. “We are committed to eliminating the barriers of exercise for all, not only with the inclusive design of our hardware and software, but in every aspect of building the company. We believe our new exercise equipment rental programs finds the sweet spot to make the convenience of Excy’s quality, versatility, and utility more affordable when they need it most.”

Leadership Council on Legal Diversity Reaches 10,000 Diverse Attorneys in First Ten Years

Leave a comment


LCLD Logo


WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

The Leadership Council on Legal Diversity, an organization made up of 337 corporate general counsel and the managing partners of the nation’s leading law firms, marked its ten-year anniversary by announcing that its programs have helped advance the career paths of more than 10,000 diverse attorneys and law students.

“10 years. 10,000 careers,” said LCLD President Robert J. Grey, Jr.

“We are, of course, tremendously proud of hitting—and surpassing—that number,” said Grey, “but there’s another number that’s absolutely critical to the success we’ve seen, and that’s the number ‘one.'”

“We are advancing careers, one by one…and we’re able to do that only because of the personal and individual commitment of each one of the general counsel and managing partners who make up LCLD.”

LCLD’s initiatives include a national mentoring program for diverse law students, a 1L Scholars program providing summer experience at law firms and in corporate legal departments for first-year law students, a Pathfinder Program for law firm associates and rising attorneys within corporate legal departments, a Fellows Program for law firm partners and in-house attorneys with eight to 15 years of experience, and an Alumni Program which provides support throughout a Fellow’s and a Pathfinder’s career.

LCLD announced that it hit its target of reaching 10,000 diverse attorneys and law students at its tenth annual meeting in Washington, D.C. Sept. 23-24.

“There is no silver bullet or magic formula for success with diversity and inclusion,” said Grey. “Progress has to be more than incremental and made up of many different ideas, both big and small, but it can be scalable. Our job is to find the best ideas and give them a platform, on our website, through social media, and at national and regional meetings.”

Success is also contagious, he said. As example, he cited a multi-year LCLD “Sustainable Partnerships” program in the Washington, D.C. area which gave diverse law firm attorneys multiple exposures to general counsel. The program, which encourages the building of diverse teams, making client pitches, and cultivating potential clients, has now spread to the San Francisco area.

“This is a textbook example of how a good idea can take root and spread,” said Grey.

“I think we’ll see continuing progress with diversity numbers,” he said. “But what is really happening is below the radar.” There is, he said, a national network of 1,600 LCLD Fellows who support one another, challenge each other, share candid advice, and refer business to one another. And that national network is growing exponentially, year by year, said Grey.

“This sets the stage for the next ten years,” said Grey, “as LCLD Members work to identify the critical points in the operations and processes of law firms and corporate legal departments. This next decade will see strategies to remove barriers, improve organizations’ processes, and build on what’s working.”

“The Members have seen the pace-setting work done by the Board over these first 10 years and have maintained an annual membership renewal rate of more than 95%, a reflection,” said Grey, “of the membership’s commitment to stay in this thing for the long haul.”

“And I am encouraged by the fact that diversity is exemplified by the Board’s first four chairs: An African American male, a Caucasian female, a Hispanic male, and a Caucasian male.”

“This generation of leaders in the law has taken on the responsibility for innovation and persistence and challenging their organizations to create, as former LCLD Chair Brad Smith once put it: “a profession as diverse as the nation we serve.’”

Worldwide Online Survey Aims to Identify a New Comprehensive Approach to Global Collaboration for Parkinson’s Disease

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders®

It is becoming increasingly clear that even relatively common diseases like PD are highly etiologically heterogeneous syndromes and that progress towards early diagnosis and causative treatments will depend on the identification of sufficient numbers of well-defined subgroups.


NICE, France (PRWEB)

A worldwide online survey identifying genetic Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients demonstrates an overall need for global collaboration and new comprehensive approaches for PD, according to research released today at the International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders®.

The systematic online survey, developed by members of the Michael J. Fox Foundation Global Genetic Parkinson’s Study Group, collected demographic, clinical and genetic data from PD patients with specific genetic mutations. Using authors from articles represented in the MDSGene database as well as the GEoPD consortium, 336 researchers were identified worldwide to participate in the survey, of which 162 (48%) responded. Overall, 103 international sites in 43 countries reported 8,453 PD patients of more than 9 ethnicities with the genetic mutations. This is particularly significant given that the survey identified a three-fold higher number of patients with genetic PD when compared to the cases reported in the literature, indicating access to patients and data requires new approaches and means of communication.

Thomas Gasser, Director at the Department of Neurodegeneration at Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research, in Tuebingen, Germany, states “This initiative is of high relevance because it is becoming increasingly clear that even relatively common diseases like PD are highly etiologically heterogeneous syndromes and that progress towards early diagnosis and causative treatments will depend on the identification of sufficient numbers of well-defined subgroups. This will only be possible by collaborations at a very large, preferably worldwide scale.”

Gasser adds, “Of course, this survey is only a very first small step. If international team science is to become successful, many problems concerning standardization of patient ascertainment, data privacy and protection as well as data access and use need to be solved. Nevertheless, the survey raises awareness of these issues and it clearly shows that the PD research community is ready to begin to tackle these important issues.”

About the International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders®: Meeting attendees gather to learn the latest research findings and state-of-the-art treatment options in Movement Disorders, including Parkinson’s disease. Over 5,100 physicians and medical professionals from more than 95 countries will be in attendance to view 2, 200 scientific abstracts submitted by clinicians from around the world.

The International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS), an international society of over 8,500 clinicians, scientists, and other healthcare professionals, is dedicated to improving patient care through education and research.

Synergy Design & Construction Helps Equip Special Olympics Golf Athletes in Readiness for Fall Championships

Leave a comment


It is only through generous support that we can continue to help Special Olympics athletes


RESTON, Va. (PRWEB)

The Special Olympics Northern Virginia chapter and Golfdom hosted a fitting and equipment event for athletes on August 22, 2019 at Golfdom’s store in McLean.

Donated golf clubs were custom-fitted for 13 athletes. The event was coordinated by Mark Fies, COO of Synergy Design & Construction, who is a longtime Special Olympics volunteer golf coach and supporter.

The event was part of a broader effort to encourage sponsors and manufacturers to provide much needed better quality golf equipment for Special Olympics athletes. Several of the athletes fitted are vying to compete in the 2019 Special Olympics Virginia Fall Championships (Nov 2-3, Virginia Beach).

Newer used equipment was donated and fitted by Golfdom. New equipment and accessories were also purchased and provided by corporate sponsors Synergy Design & Construction and their supplier partners, TW Perry and Mosaic Tile Company. The fitting ensures the clubs are the right length, grip (or hand) size and lie angle for each athlete.

Veronica Jennings, Senior Director of the Potomac region at Special Olympics Virginia, attended the event, “Local athletes had a great time being fitted for proper golf equipment to ensure they are playing the sport to the best of their abilities like their golfing heroes! We rely on corporate partners like Golfdom as well as individuals to help bring awareness and provide support for our movement. It is only through such generous support that we can continue to help Special Olympics athletes,” she said.

Sponsor and coordinator, Mark Fies, added, “Often, athletes begin playing golf with handed down equipment that’s the wrong size, gender, or were designed for experienced players. Properly fitted clubs simply allow athletes to get more joy from the sport, while also improving their skill and ability to compete. We were honored to participate in this event.” Matt Trenton, General Manager of Golfdom, was also in attendance.

About the Special Olympics:
