BatchOutput Server 4.9.1 for InDesign Improves XML Processing

Leave a comment

Zevrix Solutions announces BatchOutput Server 4.9.1, a maintenance update to its output workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Awarded 4 out of 5 stars by Layers magazine, the software automates printing and exporting to PDF and PostScript by processing InDesign files from watched hot folders. The new version improves application’s XML processing engine which allows users to dynamically assign variable output file names based on InDesign document’s XMP metadata.

Toronto (ON), Canada (August 24, 2013) — Zevrix Solutions today released BatchOutput Server 4.9.1, a maintenance update to its powerful output workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Developed originally for a major magazine publisher in the United States to free up their operator computers from outputting InDesign files, the software automates InDesign workflow by processing files from hot folders. The software offloads printing and exporting to PDF and PostScript to a central system leaving operator workstations free from the output process.

The new version improves application’s XML processing engine which allows users to dynamically assign variable output file names based on InDesign document’s XMP metadata. Adobe’s Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) is an XML-based labeling technology that allows users to embed data about a file, known as metadata, into the file itself. By taking advantage of this technology, BatchOutput Server offers output operators an easy way to include the desired information about their projects directly in the final PDF and PostScript file names.

“BatchOutput Server is an extremely useful utility for a busy production facility or advertising agency”, writes David Creamer in Layers magazine, “It can save lots of time – which equates to money.”

BatchOutput Server offers the following key features and benefits:

–Process InDesign files automatically from watched hot folders
–Export as single pages
-Update modified links automatically
-Variable output file names
-Auto-activate document fonts
–Automatic e-mail notifications of process stages and errors
-Easy to install and set up

Pricing and Availability:
BatchOutput Server can be purchased from Zevrix web site for US$699.95, as well as from authorized resellers. Trial is also available for download. The update is free for licensed users. BatchOutput Server is a Universal Binary, runs on Mac OS X 10.5-10.8 and works with Adobe InDesign CS3-CC.

Time Domain to Exhibit at AUVSI’s Unmanned Systems 2013

Leave a comment

Company to Demonstrate UWB Technology to World’s Largest Gathering of Unmanned Systems and Robotics Professionals.

Washington, D.C. (USA), — Time Domain, a leader in ultra wideband (UWB) technology and developer of the PulsON® series of UWB OEM modules, will exhibit at the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI)’s Unmanned Systems 2013 Conference on August 12-15 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in downtown Washington, D.C.

At the conference Time Domain will demonstrate its PulsON 410 (P410) UWB OEM module, a small, low-power wireless sensor based on the company’s pioneering UWB technology. The P410 can be used as a ranging radio to provide peer-to-peer distance measurements that are accurate to within 2 centimeters and cover a range of greater than 350 meters. Applications for the ranging technology include safe navigation of unmanned vehicles and robots, autonomous vehicle follower systems, precision surveying, and localization in GPS-denied areas. The P410 can also serve as a short-range radar sensor capable of detecting targets out to 40 meters (and to 80 meters under certain use cases). Applications for the radar technology include perimeter security, intrusion detection, safety zones, collision avoidance, and tagless tracking.

“Our customers understand the real benefits UWB technology offers for unmanned vehicle localization and guidance – greater productivity, increased safety, the ability to operate in new environments – and are integrating our PulsON modules into robotic platforms in the defense, industrial automation, and entertainment sectors,” said Jon Hedges, Director of Sales and Marketing. “AUVSI’s Unmanned Systems 2013 is the perfect venue to highlight our customers’ successes while building relationships with new partners.”

The following are some of the mobile robotics innovators using Time Domain’s UWB technology:
5D Robotics uses PulsON modules as tags with their proprietary Behavior Engine (BE™) navigation software, allowing a robot to follow a human or other tagged object while avoiding collisions with other non-tagged objects.

iTrack designs and deploys autonomous precision navigation and tracking systems for defense, factory automation, and live theater productions.

Lockheed Martin is relying on Time Domain ranging radios as a key element of their Autonomous Mobility Appliqué System (AMAS) to provide safe and reliable autonomous convoying.

Exponent is developing UWB-based solutions for enhanced situational awareness and tracking.

Northrop Grumman is building a robotic cargo transport platform that uses UWB ranging to follow soldiers traveling on foot across unforgiving terrain.

Dataspeed has integrated the P410 module into their Smart Tracking Transceiver (STT), fusing UWB with GPS and inertial sensors for high-performance localization and tracking applications.

Time Domain’s location technology and several of its partners were profiled in the July 2013 Unmanned Systems magazine article “Ditching GPS.”

The company has introduced a ruggedized variant of the P410 module called the PulsON 412 (P412). The P412 has been certified by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and is being shipped to the company’s volume customers for application on unmanned and autonomous platforms, mining equipment, and rail maintenance vehicles.

Time Domain will be in Booth 4422 at AUVSI’s Unmanned Systems 2013. For more information on the conference, please visit http://www.auvsishow.org. For more information on Time Domain and its UWB product offerings, please visit http://www.timedomain.com or call +1.256.922.9229.

About Time Domain:

Actual Multiple Monitors 8.0 Introduces Three Cool Features

Leave a comment

A well-known award-winning tool for managing windows on multi-monitor systems has updated to version 8.0. The new release features more convenient and precise placement of windows, moving of open windows between monitors, Mac OS X-style task switching and other functions for better comfort in everyday work.

Vancouver, BC, Canada (August 16, 2013) — Multi-monitor systems are super-efficient in certain applications including design, programming, video and graphics editing. Providing much more screen space they give flexibility, but the cost of this convenience is harder windows manipulation. Moving windows between monitors, arranging, placing and resizing of them isn’t always intuitive on a computer with multiple monitors and requires more accurate mouse moves.

Actual Multiple Monitors 8.0, a new major release of the highly ranked window management tool, offers an impressive range of tools promoting much easier window arrangement on multi-monitor systems. Aside from convenient resizing, positioning and minimizing of windows, the program offers task switching capabilities, desktop management tools, and places additional buttons in the title of windows, including MDI ones.

Enhanced Monitor Selector, a feature introduced earlier, has been improved to provide precise positioning of a window moved to another monitor – in the center of the screen, in a corner, or attached to the center of one of screen edges. Literally two clicks and a window takes the desired place on the monitor (more information: http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/help/features/movetomonitor.php#selector).

Version 8.0 includes two brand new features as well. The first one is Save Idle Screens – a function that runs a screensaver on inactive monitors. Notably, such screensaver launches and stops with a hot key and doesn’t stop on mouse or keyboard action as usual (more information: http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/help/features/save_idle_screens.php). The second new option emulates Mac OS X Exposé Task Switcher. Upon a hot key, a handy visual thumbnail grid is displayed giving nice and easy way to switch to the given task comparing with the default layout (more information: http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/help/features/expose_task_switcher.php).

Actual Multiple Monitors 8 is a blend of functionality highly demanded on multi-monitor systems and friendliness that is really easy to get used to.

Pricing and availability
Actual Multiple Monitors runs on all Windows platforms from Windows 2000 onwards and costs 24.95 USD for a single-user license. Discounts for volume buyers are available (please refer to http://www.actualtools.com/multiplemonitors/order/#volume_discounts). Additional information on Actual Multiple Monitors, a collection of tutorial articles and success stories, and a 30-day evaluation copy are available on the Actual Tools website.

About
Actual Tools delivers desktop and window management software since 2002. Highly acclaimed products keep receiving positive reviews both from press and end users. Each program by Actual Tools, a user friendly piece of software itself, brings more convenience to Windows by adding quick-access yet powerful functions.

Leave a comment

USGCB Awards T5’s Largest Data Center Facility Green Building Certification.

Dallas, TX, USA (July 24, 2013) — T5 Data Centers‘ facility T5@Dallas has been granted LEED® Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). T5 Data Centers, innovators in providing state-of-the-art, customizable and highly reliable computing support environments for any enterprise, is committed to developing and maintaining environmentally friendly data centers, and LEED Silver certification of T5@Dallas is the latest milestone in the company’s efforts to have all its data centers LEED certified.
