Olympia Circuits' new Arno Shield could help strike a better balance between starting fresh and diving into the deep end. It includes all the buttons, lights and sensors needed for 40-plus educational projects, but grafts on to existing boards such as the company's LeOlympia or an Arduino Uno. Owners don't have to add parts or wires; they just remove the shield once they've learned enough to create their own masterworks. The shield kit won't be cheap when it arrives on May 2nd for $60, but it may prove the real bargain for tinkerers who want a full-fledged Arduino board as soon as the training wheels come off.</div><div class="pr_box open" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="pr_box_button">Hide Press Release</div><div class="pr_text"> Olympia Circuits announces the Arno Shield Olympia, WA, April 29, 2013– Olympia Circuits introduces the Arno Shield to expand their line of products for new Arduino users. The Arno Shield contains all the components necessary to learn Arduino programming when plugged into an Arduino compatible board without any messy wires. The original Arno Learning Kit was introduced last year and received a great response as an innovative approach to learning the basics of electronics and Arduino. The shield provides another way for new users to dive into the world of Arduino and breaks down barriers to learning about microcontrollers. The Arno Shield will be available for purchase at olympiacircuits.com on May 2nd. The Arno Shield shares the same features of the Arno, but in a familiar shield form factor. Bring your own Arduino compatible board, drop in the shield and start learning to write sketches. The Arno Shield comes with the well regarded book "Learn Arduino with the Arno" which gives step-bystep instructions for more than forty projects. All the components for the projects are built into the Arno Shield, so no wiring is necessary, just plug and play. The Arno shield, like the original Arno, is fully compatible with the Arduino programming language and integrated development environment. To allow for a wide range of learning projects, the shield includes the following devices: - Four green LEDs - One RGB LED - One infrared LED - Two momentary pushbutton switches for digital inputs - One thumbwheel potentiometer to introduce analog measurements and controls - One piezo element to create tones and measure vibrations - One phototransistor to detect infrared and visible light - An I2C digital temperature sensor to introduce between-device digital communication Users of the Arno have enjoyed the ability to dive right in to programming without messing with wires and small parts. Like the original Arno, the Arno Shield and an Arduino compatible board make a good travel kit that won't get you hung up in security. For more information see the product page at http://www.olympiacircuits.com/arno-shield.html and contact info@olympiacircuits.com. Olympia Circuits was founded by Peter Gould and Kevin Warner to develop Arduino and other microcontroller projects. They produce the Arno and Arno Shield for learning Arduino, the LeOlympia board, a full-featured Arduino-compatible board, and develop application-specific products. Olympia Circuits will be at Maker Faire Bay Area May 18 & 19, 2013. Stop by our booth to check out our products. </div></div></div>

Lenovo rolls out extra-compact ThinkCentre Edge 62z all-in-one for $549

all-in-one, allinone, corei3, desktop, education, healthcare, lenovo, PC, thinkcentre, thinkcentreedge, thinkcentreedge62z 3/28/2013 - GreenZoner egypt

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 62z stuffs an all-in-one into a tiny space for $549" data-src-height="450" data-src-width="592" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/lenovo-thinkcentre-edge-62z.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> Some of Lenovo's pro customers can be very fussy: hospitals and schools want multiple computers in a small area, but without skimping on the usual features they'd expect from desktops. If any PC could resolve those contradictory demands, it might be the company's new ThinkCentre Edge 62z. The extra-angular design purportedly fits a 18.5-inch all-in-one into a third of the space of a 20-inch display, all while carrying up to a Core i3 processor and a DVD burner. Whether or not you see the 62z as a feat of engineering, the design has some room to grow with up to 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive. The price may be the real clincher for some customers -- Lenovo expects this lower-tier ThinkCentre Edge to cost $549 when it reaches the US in May, which could squeeze it into a few more IT budgets.</div><div class="pr_box open" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="pr_box_button">Hide Press Release</div><div class="pr_text"> Lenovo Expands AIO Portfolio to Fit Small Budgets and Workspaces ThinkCentre Edge 62z Delivers Space-Saving Design and Power Efficiency for Education and Healthcare RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – March 26, 2013:Lenovo(HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today announced the latest addition to its all-in-one (AIO) portfolio – the ThinkCentre Edge 62z. With an 18.5-inch LCD screen, the Edge 62z is ideal for workspaces with a requirement for multiple PCs but where space is at a premium, including nursing stations and school computer labs. Coupled with an affordable price, starting at just $549, the Edge 62z offers great value in a compact form factor. "Our customers, particularly in the healthcare and education markets, see the benefits of the smaller footprint AIOs in their work environments," said Chris Frey, vice president, North America channel business, Lenovo. "The ThinkCentre Edge 62z delivers on that request with a product designed to maximize space and minimize cost." Designed for Confined Workspaces The 18.5-inch screen of the ThinkCentre Edge 62z provides more than 65 percent space savings when compared to a 20-inch monitor, which allows organizations to place more AIOs in each workspace. It can also be mounted to the wall -- the ultimate space-saver – a strategy often used in nursing stations and patient rooms to allow caregivers to quickly access vital information and enter data into patient charts. School districts often place wall-mounted PCs like the ThinkCentre Edge 62z in classrooms to encourage interactive lessons. Efficient Power for Productivity Equipped with up to 3rd generation Intel® Core i3 processors, the ThinkCentre Edge 62z packs powerful performance in a small form factor. For increased productivity, the AIO also features six USB 2.0 ports and Integrated Intel® HD graphics for stunning visuals. The ThinkCentre Edge 62z highlights Lenovo's commitment to environmental energy efficiency with ENERGYSTAR® 5 compliance and an 87 percent power supply unit (PSU) for more efficient energy usage and increased cost savings. The AIO also meets the EuP 2013 energy efficiency requirement by consuming less than 0.5 Watts of electricity when turned off. Pricing and Availability The ThinkCentre Edge 62z all-in-one PC is available beginning in May through Lenovo business partners and www.lenovo.com. Pricing for the ThinkCentre Edge 62z starts at $549. </div></div></div>

The event, held at the physical education center on the school's Boston campus, brings together an incredibly diverse array of research projects covering a impressive number of fields, including physical and life sciences, engineering, humanities, arts & design, computer and information sciences, health sciences, law, business and social sciences. As you might imagine, scoring works across such a diverse array of concentrations is no easy task. We did, however, manage to pull out a handful of projects that will no doubt be of particular interest to our own readership. The list includes the use of a Kinect camera and PC for physical rehabilitation, the 3D printing of embedded electrical technologies, a Lego set that helps bridge the gap between crustacean and robot and a device that employs an Arduino board and video games to help stroke victims recover motor skills. Check out a video of all of the above just after the break. <iframe frameborder="0" height="349" id="viddler-7a0c2574" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="//www.viddler.com/embed/7a0c2574/?f=1&offset=0&autoplay=0&secret=69706227&disablebranding=0&view_secret=69706227" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="545"></iframe> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"></div>Physical rehabilitation was the focus of many of the in-house projects, each taking a decidedly different approach to getting patients back on their feet. Two projects in particular lept out at us. First up was the Virtual Rehabilitation System, presented by Meghan Huber, a student we had spoken with during our last visit to the school. The project utilizes Mathworks' MATLAB software and a Microsoft Kinect camera to capture real-time data for rehabilitation analysis. Unlike standard systems, this setup is affordable enough for home usage -- it also collects data on a wider range of motion, making it adaptable for different needs. <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="RISE2013 hightlights Kinect rehab, Lego lobsters, 3D printed embedded tech and more" data-src-height="348" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/rise20132011-12-2521-29-50600.jpg" /></div>The Navigator, meanwhile, is an Arduino-based desktop system that monitors hand movements with a pivoting, squeezable handle. The system will be tied to customized games to reward the patient and help stave off boredom. Another project utilized an off-the-shelf Lego system built to resemble a lobster. Comparing its habits to its real world analog, researchers can learn something about the behavior of the animal and can further the robot to mimic real-world biology. 3-Spark's project, meanwhile, is looking to 3D print embedded electronics, using technology similar to consumer-facing extrusion units to print circuitry directly into ABS plastic molds. The result is a single unit with conductive electrical properties.</div></div>

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Babbel acquires PlaySay in bid to bolster US language learning presence " data-src-height="481" data-src-width="378" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/babbelwp8-1363805773.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> Babbel's been doing a solid job of picking up users as it attempts to help people around the world learn new tongues over their lunch breaks, but evidently, it's not picking up steam in the US as well as it would like. The remedy? Buy the market share one so desires. Today, the company has announced the acquisition of San Francisco's own PlaySay -- a language learning company that has been tearing up every app store it approaches since launching at TechCrunch Disrupt in September of 2011. With that, however, comes some pretty unfortunate news for users. PlaySay apps are going to be yanked 45 days from now, with website visitors funneled over to Babbel's site. Moreover, we've confirmed that none of PlaySay's technologies will be integrated into Babbel's programs, and that only PlaySay's founder (Ryan Meinzer) will remain on staff as an "adviser."</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> We've got nothing but love for Babbel's software, but what this means for consumers is simple: one less player in the space, and a dead-end for the technology that was developed in order to launch PlaySay. Of course, we aren't going to pretend that this type of thing doesn't happen all of the time, but alas....</div><div class="open" dir="ltr" id="pr_box" style="text-align: left;"> <div id="pr_box_button">Hide Press Release</div><div id="pr_text"> Education Startup babbel.com Acquires San Francisco based PlaySay · Acclaimed mobile language learning app PlaySay prompts its users to move to babbel.com · Deal fueled from operative cash flow · Acquisition part of babbel.com international expansion strategy San Francisco, 21st March 2013 - Today babbel.com announced that it will complete the acquisition of PlaySay, a social language learning app for the iPhone that incorporates real conversations and pronunciation feedback with native speakers. PlaySay users are invited to join the Babbel Community. PlaySay CEO Ryan Meinzer will join the Babbel Team as a strategic advisor. This move demonstrates babbel's long term goal to extend its presence in the worldwide mobile learning market, and in the USA in particular, a market considered 'the most mature' by babbel.com CEO Markus Witte. With 15 million users worldwide, over 8 million downloads of its apps and a growth of 200% a year, babbel.com has been at the forefront, internationally, of e-learning via mobile devices. Founded by Ryan Meinzer in 2008 PlaySay is 'a language learning experience', offering a unique, visionary and fun way to learn Spanish and English. The 2011 TechCrunch Disrupt finalist PlaySay Inc., which has its headquarters in San Francisco, has seen its app ranked #1 in the education category of the iTunes store in ten countries, including the USA. Markus Witte, CEO of babbel.com, says: "Education is going mobile. This acquisition represents a continuation of our strategy to offer a complete range of mobile solutions to language learning and the possibility to leverage market share in the US." babbel.com will recruit Ryan Meinzer as advisor for babbel's US operations. "With an affordable price point and focus on mobile,babbel.com is poised to usurp giants like Rosetta Stone who have neglected the majority of the users in the USA market that spend <$100/year on self-study language learning products. The winner of the race in language learning software will be the one that does mobile the best and babbel.com will be well positioned in the principle USA market armed with the acquisition of PlaySay." Users of PlaySay can continue to use the app for at least 45 days and can also access the babbel language learning apps on the web, for the iPhone or the iPad. Babbel's online language learning offers can be found at www.babbel.com. Learners usingbabbel.com can choose to practice Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Turkish, Indonesian, Polish, Norwegian, Danish and Dutch. Markus Witte (CEO) and Thomas Holl (CTO) will make their first visit to Ryan in San Francisco in the first week of April. Markus Witte, Ryan Meinzer and Thomas Holl will be available for interviews in San Francisco in the first week of April. Link to the iTunes Store: https://itunes.apple.com/de/artist/babbel/id357018535 About babbel.com: babbel.com is the new way to learn languages. With the online language learning system, both beginners and continuing learners can study Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Turkish, Indonesian, Polish, Norwegian, Danish and Dutch through interactive listening, writing and speaking exercises. The website babbel.com offers numerous online courses with over 6,500 hours content. In addition there are vocabulary trainers for iPhone, iPod Touch, Android, Windows 8 and Windows Phone, Kindle Fire as well as interactive eBooks and a full-featured app for the iPad. More than 15 million people from over 190 countries are already learning a language with babbel.com. Babbel.com is operated by Lesson Nine GmbH in Berlin. The company was founded in August, 2007, and now has around 170 employees and freelancers. Since July, 2008, Lesson Nine has been involved with Kizoo AG and VC-Fonds Berlin. Further information at: http://www.babbel.com or http://www.crunchbase.com/company/babbel About PlaySay and Ryan Meinzer: PlaySay is an iPhone game connecting language learners so they can have real conversations with pronunciation feedback. A 2011 TechCrunch Disrupt Finalist PlaySay is backed by the most active VC's in the education space of the USA (Novak Biddle Venture Partners). The company has closed premium content deals with one of the largest publishers of language learning books and materials (McGraw-Hill) along with the largest foreign language learning dictionary publisher of the world (HarperCollins). Ryan Meinzer's areas of business expertise are sales, new product development, business development and international expansion.
