DirectSmile Sues Saechsisches Digitaldruck Zentrum for Injunctive Relief

DirectSmile Sues Saechsisches Digitaldruck Zentrum for Injunctive Relief

BERLIN, Germany, September 2/PRNewswire/ -- As technology leader for personalisation solutions DirectSmile offers
products, which apparently came into the focus of other suppliers. Therefore
DirectSmile is taking legal action against the Saechsische Digitaldruck
Zentrum (SDZ) as well as the parent company, the Saechsische Druck- und
Verlagshaus AG, who have launched a software labelled "DirecType".

DirectSmile based the claim upon the following facts:

Employees of SDZ entered into negotiations about licensing of the
DirectSmile image personalisation software and obtained exclusive information
about the DirectSmile software. Although they signed a
Non-Disclosure-Agreement substantial features of the DirectSmile software
appear in SDZs' product.

Apart from this, the brand "DirectSmile" has been registered in time to
protect it. This did not keep SDZ from labelling their software "DirecType"

From DirectSmiles' judgement the market of the product is limited and
therefore there is a danger of confusion.

Should DirectSmile win the case at the District Court Berlin, SDZ would
have to phase out their software and would have to pay a not insubstantial
compensation.

In the action SDZ argues, that the single components of the DirectSmile
software have been known at all times and that there is no possibility of
confusion regarding the brand. A software whose technology is corresponding
to the DirectSmile software has not been on the market and that in this
respect it is applied for a patent. Under these circumstances everyone has to
form its own opinion about the questionable defence pleadings of the SDZ.

For Christoph Schacht (CEO of DirectSmile) they pushed too hard: "We are
happy about every competitor. But if a competitor gains knowledge about our
product in this way, we have to act. Also in the digital print market the
rules of fair business have to apply without restrictions."

Teksouth Joins With NBC13's 'Neighbors in Need' Program, Providing Assistance to Victims of Hurricane Katrina

Teksouth Joins With NBC13's 'Neighbors in Need' Program, Providing Assistance to Victims of Hurricane Katrina

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Teksouth Corporation (http://www.teksouth.com/), a provider of data warehouse and data transfer technologies, today announced it is partnering with Birmingham's WVTM-TV (NBC13) in the station's "Neighbors in Need" drive, to help raise money for the millions of people throughout the Southeast affected by this week's devastating Hurricane Katrina.

Teksouth is making a donation to the American Red Cross, and will assist NBC13 personnel in collecting money for the Red Cross today and tomorrow, at the Summit Birmingham shopping mall.

The hurricane left more than $25 billion in damage in its wake; the Red Cross has specifically requested monetary donations as the best way of obtaining the goods needed to provide help to the victims of the storm.

"We are pleased to have Teksouth as a partner as part of our 'Neighbors in Need' effort," said Terese Messick, NBC13's Community Projects Manager. "It's important that our community comes together at a time like this and demonstrate our firm commitment to help others. Teksouth is taking a leading role in doing precisely that. In doing so, we're working together to help bring assistance to the hurricane victims in Alabama and other states who have lost virtually everything they ever owned."

"There are people out there who need assistance, and our partnership with NBC13 will play a small role in providing them that relief," said Steve Wilsher, Teksouth's founder and CEO. "It's times like this when both individuals and organizations can make a difference -- regardless of the size of their contributions. The magnitude of tragedy being endured by residents of the Gulf Coast region is immense. By coming together, and giving what we can, we will help each other through this ordeal."

Teksouth and NBC13 volunteers will be collecting contributions at the Summit Birmingham through tomorrow evening; people who wish to donate money to the Red Cross but cannot do so in person are urged to visit the Red Cross website, http://www.redcross.org/.

Ready for Deployment: Micronas Introduces Complete Software Stack for Digital STB

Ready for Deployment: Micronas Introduces Complete Software Stack for Digital STB

Fully integrated digital TV middleware jump-starts digital STB development

BERLIN, Germany, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IFA 2005 -- Micronas today announced the successful porting of LogiWays' Magello digital TV middleware to the Micronas MDE 95xyD set-top box (STB) chip in cooperation with Nagravision, a world leader for conditional access (CA) systems. As a result, Micronas now offers a complete hardware/software solution enabling fast and easy market access.

As a fully integrated Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB)-compliant system MPEG-2 decoder chip, the MDE 95xyD serves a multitude of applications ranging from zapping-only free-to-air (public) STBs to full-featured personal video recorder (PVR) boxes. With the MDE 95xyD family and the recently introduced fourth generation of COFDM demodulator ICs, DRX 397xD, Micronas offers a complete system solution for the expanding DVB-T markets.

Magello is highly customizable digital TV middleware. It is a market- proven solution already deployed in DVB markets such as the United Kingdom, France and Germany. Magello supports several CA systems, including all Nagravision's CA systems, opening an even wider range of possible pay-TV applications for the MDE 95xyD family, including secure push-VOD and secure storage off-the-shelf solutions.

"The exciting thing about the combination of LogiWay's Magello with the MDE 95xyD family is its versatility," said Reinhard Steffens, Director System Marketing Set-Top Box at Micronas. "The MDE 95xyD decoder family covers a wide range of STB and iDTV consumer devices; Magello is the enabler for our customers to have the same flexibility in the software running in the box. As a result, their STB designs can be targeted to the specific hardware and software requirements of a market segment at optimal economics."

"Making Magello available on the Micronas MDED platform opens interesting and new applications to us," said Christophe Van Der Werf, Vice President Sales & Marketing at LogiWays. "Micronas is the right partner with a focused product portfolio and with a key position in the consumer electronics industry."

The Magello middleware ported on the MDE 95xyD results in a ready-for- deployment hardware and software solution for manufacturers targeting both free-to-air and pay-TV markets. The fact that both Micronas' MDE95xyD and Magello are Nagravision "certification ready" ensures a significant time-to- market advantage for Nagravision CA pay-TV applications.

Micronas will showcase a free-to-air STB reference design based on MDE 95xyD and Magello in Berlin during the IFA (International Broadcast Exhibition) in September 2005. It will be the first in a series of reference designs licensable to OEMs and addressing different implementation requirements and CA security levels as well as box feature sets.

About the MDE 95xyD decoder family

The new system-on-chip platform of the MDE 95xyD integrates a MIPS(R)- compatible 32-Bit processor with a configurable unified memory interface. This processor is supported by a transport stream interface unit with both parallel and serial inputs, a transport stream demultiplexer, an embedded DVB descrambler, and MPEG-2 audio/video decoders. A dedicated graphic accelerator engine supports the CPU. A variety of different interfaces, including ATA for hard disk connection, UART for modem support and an interface for CI modules turn the MDE 95xyD series into a scalable all-in-one solution for free-to-air, pay-TV and PVR STBs. IDTV applications based on the MDE 95xyD family benefit from a version, which supports an RGB digital interface and a progressive/double scan OSD output utilizing Micronas' extensive experience in CRT and FPD TV circuit design.

About LogiWays

LogiWays is a French company specialized in the development and integration of middleware and automatic testing tools for the global digital TV environment. Under the Magello brand name, LogiWays offers software modules for the control and personalization of the functionalities of digital television equipment, such as electronic program guides, channel lists, record programming applications, and parental control applications. The Magello solutions are installed in both the decoders and the television sets.

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- HiEnergy Technologies, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: HIET) (the "Company" or "HiEnergy") announced today that it was notified by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that the formal investigation of HiEnergy has been terminated with no enforcement action. The staff said that it has completed its investigation and no enforcement action has been recommended to the Commission at this time.

As previously disclosed by HiEnergy, the Commission authorized a formal investigation and delivered a Wells Notice to the Company in June 2004, advising it of the staff's intention to recommend enforcement action against the Company. During the course of the investigation, HiEnergy has cooperated with the Commission and its staff.

"We are pleased that the S.E.C staff decided not to recommend any enforcement action against HiEnergy," said Dr. Bogdan C. Maglich, HiEnergy's Chairman and CEO. "We appreciate the opportunity which the Commission gave us to cooperate with its investigation, and we would like to thank those who have been involved for their diligent effort."

ABOUT HIENERGY TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

HiEnergy Technologies, Inc. ("HiEnergy", together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is a nuclear particle detection technology company focused on the commercialization of the world's first "stoichiometric" explosive diagnostic devices, including (i) the CarBomb Finder(TM) 3C4, a vehicle-borne system, for the detection and identification of car bombs, and (ii) the SIEGMA(TM) 3E3, a portable suitcase-borne system for the detection and identification of home-made bombs, also known as Improvised Explosive Devices or IEDs. The Company is marketing its devices to governmental and private entities and is negotiating licenses for distribution of its devices with various industry partners.

The Company also continues to focus on the research and development of additional applications of its technologies and their further exploitation, both internally and through collaboration with third parties. HiEnergy is currently developing prototypes in programs with the U.S. Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security for other related uses of its core technology. Recently, it entered into a funded cooperative development agreement with the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to produce a proof of concept which incorporates the Company's SuperSenzor(TM) technology into a baggage screening system. The Company's "stoichiometric" technology, or Stoitech(TM) has been incorporated into additional prototype applications which, if the Company is able to raise the funds necessary to commercialize them, will be the next products it attempts to launch: (i) an in-ground explosive screening system, the CarBomb Finder(TM) 3C5, (ii) an anti-tank landmine detector; (iii) an unexploded ordnance detector, which is also useful to detect IEDs; and (iv) a device the Company calls a "Refractorymeter," which can detect fissures or erosions in the ceramic lining of oil cracking tanks.

SCO Partners With MySQL AB to Lower Costs and Increase the Power and Scalability of Modern Database Solutions

SCO Partners With MySQL AB to Lower Costs and Increase the Power and Scalability of Modern Database Solutions

Companies to Deliver Certified Version of MySQL for SCO OpenServer 6

LINDON, Utah, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- . The SCO Group, Inc. ("SCO") (NASDAQ:SCOX), a leading provider of UNIX(R) software technology for distributed, embedded and network-based systems, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with MySQL AB to jointly deliver a certified, commercial version of the popular MySQL database for SCO OpenServer 6, the newest release of SCO's UNIX solutions platform. As part of the agreement, the companies will work together on a range of joint marketing, sales, training, business development and support programs that will benefit customers throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Additionally, SCO will include a trial subscription to the MySQL Network enterprise database service with each new copy of SCO OpenServer -- and offer full MySQL Network subscriptions through its reseller channel.

Launched in February, MySQL Network is a comprehensive, attractively-priced subscription offering that provides modern businesses with everything they need to successfully develop and deploy ANSI-SQL database solutions with MySQL. It includes access to certified MySQL software, updates and upgrades, proactive alerts and advisors, the online MySQL knowledgebase, and full production-level technical support.

The SCO-MySQL agreement will bring great benefits to the customers and channel partners of both companies. The combination of SCO UNIX and MySQL creates a high-performance, low-cost, easy-to-manage applications platform that can scale out across the distributed and networked customer systems environments common to both companies. Developers and customers will benefit because SCO and MySQL will cooperate to ensure that the operating system and the database undergo extensive compatibility and certification testing to ensure a good developer and end-user experience. MySQL Network will also be available directly from SCO resellers throughout the world, offering customers a single point of contact.

"Given that 85 percent of SCO UNIX-based solutions are database applications, it makes complete sense to work more closely with MySQL to jointly certify, market and support our product solutions for the benefit of our mutual customers," said Jeff Hunsaker, senior vice president and general manager, SCO's UNIX division. "Because MySQL is known for scaling out across customer environments, it is a natural fit for SCO's traditional customers that operate in distributed and networked systems across retail and branch offices. We believe this partnership will be met with great excitement by our customers."

"MySQL has become the most popular open source database in the world by offering users a good combination of choice, performance and ease of use," said Marten Mickos, CEO of MySQL AB. "We will now be providing developers with the additional option of leveraging SCO's popular platforms. We look forward to working with SCO and their large reseller network to support our mutual customers with their enterprise database applications."

Benchmark testing by SCO and many of its customers found that the recently released SCO OpenServer 6 was two-to-four times faster than its predecessor throughout many areas of the product. The addition of the UNIX SVR 5 kernel to SCO OpenServer 6 has increased support for terabyte file sizes, 64 GB of memory, up to 32 processors, and full support for multi-threaded applications, all allowing applications such as MySQL to gain the best performance possible.

Availability

Later this year, MySQL AB will deliver a certified version of MySQL 5.0 for SCO OpenServer 6. For customers interested in subscribing to MySQL Network for SCO OpenServer 6, contact a SCO sales representative at 1-800-SCO-UNIX (1-800-726-8649) or your local SCO reseller. To find a local SCO reseller in your area, visit http://partners.sco.com/partner/locator/region.jsp.

The UHAPI Forum Highlights Programming Solution and Open Source Implementation at IFA

The UHAPI Forum Highlights Programming Solution and Open Source Implementation at IFA

Technical Presentations and On-site Demo Show the UHAPI Enabling Faster A/V Software Development

IFA-BERLIN, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- The Universal Home Application Programming Interface (UHAPI) Forum today introduced to Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA) attendees its specification for reducing the software development cost and complexity of audio/video (A/V) technology.

The software effort in consumer electronics (CE) devices keeps growing rapidly, which results in increased development cost and increased lead times. The UHAPI eliminates the repetitive coding of standard, commonly used functions for Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) standard and Personal Video Recording to speed up product development. As a result, UHAPI allows the semiconductor and CE vendor to concentrate on differentiating features.

The need for UHAPI is apparent; industry support of the UHAPI is quickly growing with Forum membership doubling in less than eight months. Within the past year, the Forum released the UHAPI 1.0 specification defining the hardware-independent software interfaces necessary to configure and control video-related functions.

The growing popularity of UHAPI gave rise to an open source implementation of UHAPI on a personal computer. This project was launched in June on Sourceforge under the project name UHAPI4Linux. The UHAPI Forum welcomes this initiative as it further accelerates the adoption of UHAPI.

Presence at IFA

The UHAPI Forum will be exhibiting at IFA's Technisch-Wissenschaftliche Forum (TWF) in Hall/Stand Number 05.3/11.

IFA attendees can observe an in-booth, Linux-based demonstration by LogicaCMG that incorporates UHAPI4Linux. The demo clearly illustrates the use of UHAPI and cost-savings associated with a UHAPI implementation.

On September 5, UHAPI Forum members will deliver two presentations during IFA's TWF lecture series:

11:30AM - 12:00PM CEST
"Reducing the Cost of Software Development via UHAPI"
Speaker: Jeroen Brouwer, Philips Semiconductors

12:00PM - 12:30 PM CEST
"UHAPI Technology Overview"
Speaker: John Vugts, Philips Semiconductors

Continued Industry Support

The UHAPI Forum's analog and digital ATSC television specification is available online to all industry representatives, including non-members. The Forum will augment the current specification this year with hard disk drive (HDD) recording and DVB support. Further enabling adoption of the UHAPI, training on UHAPI implementation techniques is available through BORES Signal Processing. More information about the organization, the specification and training is available at www.uhapi.org.

About The UHAPI Forum

Founded in November 2004, the UHAPI Forum develops and maintains the Universal Home Application Programming Interface (UHAPI) for the home CE industry. The UHAPI serves as a hardware-independent bridge between the CE and middleware or application software industries and the semiconductor industry. The technology enables middleware and application software to be easily ported across multiple devices. Deployment of the UHAPI also frees software developers to focus solely on application development, which reduces development costs and speeds a product's time-to-market. Current UHAPI Forum members include ACCESS Co., Ltd., Atos Origin, BORES Signal Processing, the Digital TV Industry Alliance of China, HP, Mediabolic, NVIDIA, Pioneer, Royal Philips Electronics and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. For more information about the UHAPI Forum or to become a member, visit www.uhapi.org.

Construction Reference Standards 'On Demand'

Construction Reference Standards 'On Demand'

Latest BSD SpecLink(R) Update Includes Thousands of Hyperlinks to the IHS Standards Store, Enabling Users to View and Purchase Referenced Standards Directly

ATLANTA and ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Building Systems Design, Inc. (BSD) of Atlanta and IHS Inc. (IHS - http://www.ihs.com/) announced today the release of the Fall 2005 edition of BSD SpecLink(R), which includes thousands of new hyperlinks to the IHS Standards Store.

BSD SpecLink is a software product used nationwide by thousands of architects, engineers and other design professionals to produce and maintain detailed construction specifications. Based on an underlying relational database structure instead of word processing, SpecLink includes guide text for hundreds of building product categories and references to thousands of construction industry standards. SpecLink references these industry standards instead of repeating relevant content, keeping the guide text and edited project specifications more concise. Until this latest product release, architectural and engineering users who needed access to the actual standards from any of the 185 sponsoring organizations had to acquire them by contacting each organization individually.

Under a new agreement with IHS, BSD has provided hyperlinks to referenced standards via the IHS Standards Store. In the current SpecLink release, 1,844 of the 2,173 referenced standards are accessible through this single site. In most cases, a synopsis of the standard is available and the document itself can be purchased and downloaded online for immediate viewing from IHS. The remaining 300+ standards are available via the sponsoring organizations' websites, and in a few cases the documents are free.

Because BSD SpecLink is comprehensively updated each quarter and IHS maintains both current and previously issued versions of the standards in its database, SpecLink users are assured that their construction specifications and reference standards are synchronized and up-to-date. For further information on BSD SpecLink, go to http://www.bsdsoftlink.com/. For further information on IHS products and solutions, including the IHS Standards Store, go to http://www.ihs.com/.
