France’s Toy of the Year Debuts in the United States

Plano, TX (PRWEB) July 10, 2013

Holograms, three-dimensional images, were once only the stuff of science fiction, starring in movies like Star Wars and Iron Man. Now holograms are not only a reality, they’re the product of HolograFX, named the hottest new toy in France that’s soon to reach the United States.

HolograFX, the latest invention from Plano, Texas-based specialty toy company Goliath Games, allows children to create holographic images – including self-images – with the use of a hologram theater, magician-quality illusions and yes – an app. This toy developer knows that today’s children rely on Smartphones for endless entertainment, and the exclusive downloadable app was the final touch in developing the special effects needed to put on an incredible hologram effects show.

With realistic three-dimensional imagery and ‘now you see it, now you don’t’ tricks, HolograFX uses an illusionary technique known as Pepper’s Ghost to deliver Hollywood-quality special effects. Entertainment magnets like Disney have used this technique for large-scale theme park attractions and movie effects, and now children (and fun-loving adults) can mystify friends and family with these same illusions.

Designed by an up-and-coming magician from Los Angeles, California, HolograFX is already garnering acclaim as the hottest toy of 2013 in the European market. It was recently named the Grand Prix du Jouet (Toy of the Year) in the electronics category as well as the Grand Prix Du Jouet De L’ Annee (Overall Toy of the Year) in France, beating out 13 other category winners for the top spot. With a reputation of predicting some of the hottest-selling toys in the United States, France’s toy spotters – who previously awarded top-sellers like Paper Jamz, V-Smile and Barbie Girl – are putting HolograFX in this elite category.

“We are honored that HolograFX has received the top toy honors in France, and we can’t wait for the US market to experience what we loved when we discovered this toy – a unique blend of leading-edge mobile technology and magician-quality effects,” says David Norman, president of Goliath Games. “Like a lot of adults and children, I remember the Star Wars scene where Princess Leia pleas for help via a holographic message. It seemed so futuristic at the time, yet now we are making imagery like this a fun reality with HolograFX.”

HolograFX is available for preorder for $ 35 per set at Rockethub.com, and will debut at Toys R Us and other major U.S. retailers in the fall, 2013. The complete set includes:

    The hologram theater
    18 amazing illusions
    Downloadable app available at Google Apps Marketplace for Android™ and The App Store for iPhone™ and iPod Touch™

While a good magician never reveals all secrets, additional special effects are viewable here. It’s the stuff Harry Potter and his wand-wielding friends could only dream of – if only they had a Smartphone—and HolograFX.

New Mathematical Theory Could Address Cell Communication Breakdown

Washington, DC (PRWEB) August 08, 2013

It is an experience that has frustrated many: an emergency situation occurs, such as the recent Boston Marathon attacks or the tornadoes in Oklahoma, and people try to use their cell phones to get in touch with loved ones in the affected area, but can’t get through. At a time when the need to get through is paramount.

American University mathematics professor Stephen Casey thinks he has found a way to solve this problem. He calls it “projection method.” It is so promising that Casey already has two provisional patents for it, plus, the method is under review for a full patent.

“Projection method is not a device, but a mathematical theory of a device,” Casey said.

Projection method grew out of Casey’s research project funded by a $ 145,537 grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research called “New Techniques in Time Frequency Analysis: Adaptive Band, Ultra Band, and Multi-Rate Signal Processing.”

First awarded to Casey September 2012, the grant supports his research during the next three years.

Casey says projection method would distribute our communications in a hierarchy, pushing through the most simplistic forms of first, followed by increasingly complex forms—text messages would be first, then voice messages, and lastly, video uploads or social media statuses. So, in an emergency situation, the lower level communications would get through.

Casey realized this potential application during the August 2011 earthquake that rocked much of the east coast, including Washington, D.C.

“As we all made texts and calls, I noted that early texts made it through, and then the system collapsed,” Casey said. “I thought, ‘Projection can fix this— to a degree.’”

How It Would Work

Casey says projection method would require a different approach to signal processing, or how cell service carriers handle various communications—phone calls/voice mails, text messages, emails, social media statuses—the original “signals.”

The current, general signal processing architecture for cell phones is “sample and hold”—an analog circuit used in linear systems, or systems in which data is conveyed in a specific sequence (much like a line with a definite beginning point and a definite end point). Digital systems, on the other hand, are based on discontinuous data or events—things that don’t have to be handled in any particular order but come together to form a final, definite product (ex: a sound or an image)—much like a jigsaw puzzle.

But wait? Aren’t cell phones digital? Not exactly. Most cell phones are actually analog to digital devices—they take the analog signal (a person’s voice or the text or images someone wishes to send) and convert it to a digital one so that the digital networks cell phones use can process it. On the receiving end, the digital signal is converted back to an analog one so the person receiving the communication can hear the other person’s voice, read a text, or see sent images.

Those digital networks rely on wireless technologies that are represented by an alphabet soup of acronyms: GSM, CDMA, and LTE. But there is one wireless technology that has great potential in that it is more powerful (capable of sending vast amounts of data) but uses less energy: Ultra Wide Band (UWB).

UWB is not new. The U.S. military and Department of Defense have used it since the1960s—among other uses, UWB applications involving radar can detect objects concealed by walls and other coverings. Even so, it was not until 2002 that the Federal Communications Commission authorized UWB’s commercial use. Since then, for a variety of reasons, the consumer market has been slow to adopt UWB, despite its obvious advantages. Technology to use it broadly and efficiently in cell phone communication has not been developed. Casey’s projection method could help change that.

“I was looking to develop an efficient method to analyze a signal so that we allow for changing and/or ultra-wide frequency bands—something conventional analog-to-digital devices don’t do,” Casey said, who aside from being a mathematics and statistics professor at AU, is a self-trained electrical engineer and sits on the boards of two international signal processing journals. “Projection is a clear advancement in that it is far more energy efficient and far more computationally sound. We look at the signal’s location in both time and frequency simultaneously, and window adaptively.”

Parallel Computing

Casey says looking at a signal’s location in time and frequency all at once would be accomplished through parallel computing, a form of computation in which tasks are addressed at the same time by multiple, but linked, computer processors. High performance computers use parallel computing to analyze “big data” at extremely high speeds. How much data, how fast, depends on the system.

By “window adaptively,” Casey means that once a signal’s time and frequency information are analyzed simultaneously via parallel computing, the signal would be transmitted in a manner “customized” to the signal’s needs and parameters. This is why communications would be distributed in a hierarchy from most simplistic to most complex. Text messages are the most simplistic and would go first because they require the smallest “window” and the least energy to get through.

“The simplicity of a text vs. a Facebook post allows us to process so much more efficiently,” Casey said. “I am in the process of exploring these ideas. There will be no ‘perfect solution,’ as there is no ‘perfect’ way to measure simultaneously in both time and frequency, but this will be a huge step in the right direction.”

Next Steps

How projection method could improve cell phone communication is just one potential application of Casey’s research funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.

“In theory, projection method can be used by chip designers and hardware engineers,” Casey said. “But overall, this is a HUGE area of research.”

This summer, Casey will finish a scholarly paper that he coauthored with two engineers. The engineers’ part of the paper will discuss projection method and chip design. The paper is for the Proceedings of the IEEE, the peer-reviewed, monthly scientific journal of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

Mipwr to Crowdfund iPhone Case that Allows Users to Charge the iPhone with Their Hands

Arlington Heights, IL (PRWEB) September 16, 2013

A discovery made almost 200 years ago, still lives today as a practical method of manufacturing electricity; electromagnetic induction. The all new Mipwr Dynamo iPhone case has taken this method of creating electricity, and applied it to technology that can power cellular devices when users need it most.

Mipwr Dynamo is a protective iPhone case, backup battery and hybrid charger all in one compact and sleek looking design. The case contains a 400 mA battery, along with a concealed push lever that, when pumped, generates electricity to charge the internal battery. For every one minute of actuating the push lever within the case, users will produce enough power for 30 seconds of talk time or text.

“After witnessing the aftermath of power outages from recent natural disasters, such as Hurricane Sandy and the cruise ship disasters, we thought about taking the existing technology of electromagnetic induction, and making it small enough to fit in the back of a cell phone case,” says Mipwr Dyanmo co-founder Karl Lee. “We thought, ‘how cool would it be to have an alternative energy source, besides a back up battery, that could power a mobile device, so users could send out a message or phone call in an emergency.’”

Once creators Karl Lee and Bob Panos came up with their idea for the new iPhone case, they contracted the help of a prototyping company. After months of sifting through numerous factories in Shenzhen, selecting the materials for molded parts, locating a suitable lithium ion battery, and designing the electronics circuit board, the team was able to come up with a working prototype that functioned just as they had envisioned. Their only problem is coming up with money to cover manufacturing costs of producing Mipwr by the thousands.

Now, Lee and Panos have decided to crowdfund the manufacturing costs of bringing this innovative product to market. Within the next couple of weeks, the team behind Mipwr will launch a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter with the goal of raising $ 78,000 to cover those costs. And, they’re giving iPhone users around the world the opportunity to help bring Mipwr to market. For a pledge of just $ 25, backers will be able to do two things: help Mipwr reach its funding goal and pre-order their very own Mipwr case.

To learn more about Mipwr, or stay up to date with the case’s upcoming crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, visit http://www.mipwr.com. Like Mipwr on Facebook and follow Mipwr on Twitter to be one of the first to find out about the campaign launch.

Henry Ford Develops Smartphone App for Cancer Surgery Patients

Detroit, Michigan (PRWEB) September 16, 2013

With a single tap on a smartphone, cancer patients now can access detailed information about treatment options by cancer type, GPS mapping to appointment locations, as well as schedule appointments and connect to their electronic medical record.

The new “app” from the Center for Cancer Surgery at Henry Ford Hospital is the first to be developed in the U.S. specifically for cancer surgery patients. It is free and available for download in the App Store on Android and Apple devices.

Already, the Center for Cancer Surgery app is among the top searched choices for the keywords “cancer” and “surgery” in the Apple app store.

“This app is meant to serve as an at-a-glance touch point to locate physicians and nurses on an individual patient’s care team, and it is searchable by diagnosis and department,” says neurosurgeon Steven Kalkanis, M.D., director of the Center for Cancer Surgery, part of the Josephine Ford Cancer Institute.

“Our hope is that this app will add another dimension to the personalized care offered to our patients and help to alleviate much of the stress and uncertainty of a cancer diagnosis by providing them with the tools and resources they need at their fingertips.”

The new app provides patients with:


Treatment by Cancer Type: Detailed information about diagnostic, surgical and research options for more than a dozen types of cancer, including breast, prostate, lung and liver.

Appointment Scheduling: A secure appointment request form to schedule a first appointment, second opinion or consult with a cancer specialist.

“Click to Call”: With the touch of a button, patients can be directly connected to a cancer specialist or nurse via the Center for Cancer Surgery’s 24-hour cancer hotline at (888) 777-4167. This feature also is available on the pages throughout the app.

GPS Directions: Get driving directions or public transportation routes to all of the JFCI locations in southeastern Michigan.

Meet Your Team: Through photos and expert profiles, patients can “meet” their healthcare team, so they know in advance who will be caring for them.

Clinical Trials: Through a secure form, Henry Ford can match patients to the clinical trials that would be the best fit for them, freeing patients from attempting to self-assess and wade through cumbersome trial information.

Connect to MyChart: Patients can download and connect directly to the MyChart app, a secure electronic medical record portal that allows patients to consult their doctor via secure messaging, view lab, radiology or test results, and renew prescriptions.

Additional app features include buttons that connect patients to an educational video library, and information about the Josephine Ford Cancer Institute’s tumor board, focus on quality and safety, and comprehensive care.

The app is expected to continue to grow to include even more features, including those for cancer survivors and cancer wellness information.

The Center for Cancer Surgery opened in September 2012 on the Henry Ford Hospital campus in Detroit. It is home to the Michigan’s first Intraoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (iMRI) scanner and it is a national leader in neurosurgery for brain tumors and robotic surgery for prostate, kidney, gynecology, thoracic and head and neck cancers.

Additionally, the Center for Cancer Surgery offers patients same-day appointments with a team of cancer experts, a nurse navigator to guide patients though the treatment process, a 24/7 cancer line, and patient concierge services to make hospital visits as worry-free as possible for out-of-town patients and their families.
