24U released 24U Toolbox Plug-In 2.0 - Published on 11/05/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FileMaker solutions provider, 24U Software today announces 24U Toolbox Plug-In 2.0, an important update to their popular data processing extension for FileMaker Pro 13. 24U Toolbox Plug-In is designed to help FileMaker developers in their daily work by providing a solid toolbox of the most commonly needed simple but powerful functions. Version 2.0 brings full 64-bit support for FileMaker Pro with improved stability on server, as well as a better registration interface.

Zvole, Czech Republic - 24U Software today is proud to announce version 2.0 of 24U Toolbox Plug-In, toolbox of the most useful calculation functions for daily use. The new version have been rewritten to be fully compatible with FileMaker Pro 14 and stable on FileMaker Server even when being used from several simultaneous threads.

Version 2.0 brings:
* Full 64-bit support for FileMaker Pro
* Improved stability on server
* Better registration interface

24U Toolbox Plug-In 2.0's 64-bit support was focused and tested not only on FileMaker Server, but also on FileMaker Pro 14 and FileMaker Pro Advanced 14. Now is fully compatible in both 32-bit and 64-bit modes. The latest version of the plug-in works reliably with FileMaker Server when the same plug-in is accessed from multiple threads and sessions simultaneously and provides more ways to register the plug-in, and to find out whether the plug-in is registered even without user's interaction.

24U Toolbox Plug-In is a robust FileMaker Pro plug-in which allows FileMaker Pro databases to:
* Execute FileMaker or System shell scripts to automate tasks inside/outside of FileMaker Pro
* Execute SQL commands to develop faster and keep your solution clean
* Match & replace regular expressions to find & replace text fast using patterns
* Merge data values into text while maintaining styling to quickly and easily apply templates
* Lookup DNS name for IP & vice versa to find out who is connecting from where
* Get current public IP to know more about clients and discover potential security attacks
* Define global keyboard shortcuts to avoid unnecessarily excessive use of script triggers
* Obtain precise microsecond timestamps to measure nearly unmeasurable chunks of time
* Get the type of a FileMaker variable to let your scripts make the right decisions
* Share variables between databases to avoid creating too many external data sources

Important update for 24U FM Bench users:
24U Toolbox Plug-In is an essential element of the 24U FM Bench optimization tool. Upgrading to version 2.0, thanks to its improved stability, can be beneficial to all FM Bench users who use the tool to benchmark, troubleshoot, and optimize server-side scripts and web-enabled solutions.

Use 24U Toolbox Plug-In to add a completely new dimension to your server-side data processing:
Server-side scripts can be efficiently used with FileMaker Server for nightly batch data imports and processing. The powerful features of 24U Toolbox Plug-In let you make this processing much faster and more powerful by being able to use system-level scripts, access your data with SQL queries, merging fields and variables into text, etc.

HOnza Koudelka, Software Division Manager of 24U, says: ''24U Toolbox Plug-In is designed to help FileMaker developers in their daily work by providing a solid toolbox of the most commonly needed simple but powerful functions.

Insights 4.0: Predictive Models for Web, iOS, and OS X Dev Projects - Published on 11/05/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KnowledgeMiner Software has released Insights 4.0, a major update to its critically acclaimed application that implements original self-learning modeling algorithms for easy development of reliable predictive models from data. With ready-to-use Python and Objective-C source code implementation of developed models into web, iOS, or OS X development projects, Insights 4.0 takes cost and time-to-deploy measures to a new level of applicability and value for academic users and app developers.

Berlin, Germany - KnowledgeMiner Software today is pleased to announce the release of Insights 4.0, a major update to its critically acclaimed application that implements outstanding self-learning modeling algorithms to allow users to automatically develop reliable predictive models from data for decision support. With In-Memory database processing and Python and Objective-C source code generation of developed model ensembles for instant implementation into web, iOS, or OS X development projects, Insights 4.0 takes cost and time-to-deploy measures to a new level of applicability and value for academic users and app developers.

Insights for OS X is a professional, yet convenient tool for building predictive models from data of complex systems autonomously. Taking observational data that describe a system or process, the software constructs a working mathematical model of that system by AI-powered, self-organizing knowledge extraction technologies. It implements a unique set of powerful modeling tools such as self-detection of relevant input factors, cost-optimized and prevalence-sensitive classification, or similar patterns recognition, which is applied to health and life sciences related problems, energy forecasting, sales prediction, financial and resource planning, engineering problems, climate change modeling, and other by many corporations, universities, research institutes, students, and individuals worldwide.

Feature Highlights:
* Original, high-dimensional, self-learning, inductive knowledge mining with ease
* Automatically develops models and model ensembles from data, and it generates the equation that describes the data as a mathematical interpretation of how the model works
* Integrates all complex tasks, such as variables selection from up to 2000 inputs, knowledge extraction, model development and validation, into one process and hides it from user
* Live Prediction Validation technology
* Model deployment and export to Microsoft Excel, ready-to-use Python, Objective-C, AppleScript source code, or TEXT to be used in Matlab
* Powered by 64-bit, parallel, cross-platform, self-organizing modeling engine for multi-core CPUs

Today, we are facing an ever-widening spectrum of complex problems, which require analysis and research. However, in many cases it is impossible to create analytical models using classical theoretical systems analysis since there is incomplete knowledge of the processes involved. Environmental, medical and socio-economic systems are but three examples. We are facing complex problems, which do need decision-making, but the means - the models - for understanding, predicting, simulating, and if appropriate controlling such systems are absent. Here, self-organizing modeling methods help to overcome this knowledge gap and to reveal relevant relationships inherent in complex systems in an adaptive, fast, reliable, and objective way.

Insights 4.0 comes with several example models, such as cost-optimized models for fetal state monitoring, gene expression of tumor tissue, and QSAR models for screening of chemical substances and regulatory purposes. More than 20 examples are included for illustrative purposes, taken from the fields of Climate Change, Energy, Life Sciences, Chemistry, Engineering, and Business.

Language Support:
* English, Spanish, and German

System Requirements:
* OS X 10.10 or later
* Any Mac with 64-bit CPU, 8 GB RAM recommended
* Minimum screen resolution of 1280 x 768 pixel

Pricing and Availability:
Insights for OS X is available as Free, Student, Advanced, or Pro editions exclusively from the KnowledgeMiner Software website. Until November 30, 2015, promotional prices with up to 75% discount are provided. Academic versions can be purchased by contacting KnowledgeMiner Software directly. Review copies are available on request.

Beamer 3.0 - Stream Video from a Mac to Apple TV and Chromecast Devices - Published on 11/05/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tupil today announces Beamer 3.0, a major upgrade to their Mac OS X video streaming app. Beamer 3.0 allows users to stream any video file from a Mac to any Apple TV or Chromecast or Google Cast-supported HDTV. The app streams video directly, so it will be played natively on the streaming devices. Version 3.0 brings support for Chromecast devices, quick selection of playback options, a redesigned interface, improved playlist controls, new sound playback and subtitle options, and more.

Utrecht, Netherlands - Tupil today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Beamer 3.0, a major update to their Mac OS X video streaming app. Beamer 3.0 allows users to stream any video file from a Mac to any Apple TV or Chromecast or Google Cast-supported high definition television. The app also includes subtitle support, and allows users to fast-forward, reverse, or completely skip to the next movie using the Apple TV Remote.

Beamer now sports a modern, redesigned interface that makes the app a joy to use. Commonly accessed options, such as subtitles and audio track options, are conveniently located in the playback window of the app. The playlist is now integrated into the player window of the app, and displays the titles of previously viewed movies, making it easy to select a favorite video for additional viewing. Or, if preferred, the app can automatically remove the titles of already watched movies from the list.

While previous versions of Beamer worked only with the Apple TV, version 3.0 is now also compatible with Google Chromecast devices, offering viewers the ability to stream video content directly from their Mac computer, no matter which streaming device they own! If users own multiple Apple TV or Chromecast devices, they can easily select which device they would like to stream to, right from Beamer's player window. Video streams to either device in full 1080p HD, featuring dynamic sound in full 5.1 surround, (when available).

"We're proud of the new features in Beamer 3.0," says Eelco Lempsink, co-creator of Beamer. "With the app's new Chromecast support, plus the improved support for the Apple TV - including the new fourth-generation models - we have created the best option available for users who are looking for an easy-to-use solution for viewing all of their favorite video content on a big screen HDTV."

New Features in Beamer 3.0:
* Now supports playback to Google Cast devices, such as Chromecast
* Supports the fourth-generation Apple TV
* Use the Apple TV Remote to skip to the next movie by double-clicking the play button
* Modern, redesigned interface
* More controls are available from the playback window
* Options to automatically select subtitles and audio tracks of a certain language

* Set a playlist or a movie to repeat automatically
* Improved automatic subtitle selection
* Improved color accuracy for movies using the bt709 color matrix
* Detects more subtitle tracks in VOB files
* Updated transcoding backend
* Numerous performance and stability improvements

Unlike some other streaming solutions, Beamer doesn't require the user to go through a tedious conversion process before viewing their videos on a streaming box-equipped television. Beamer makes viewing any common format of video content that's stored on a Mac as simple as dragging-and-dropping a file. Users simply click on the videos they wish to view, and then drag & drop them into the Beamer window. Next, they select the device they wish to stream the video to from the convenient pull-down menu in the viewing window, and last but not least, they sit down in front of an Apple TV or Chromecast-equipped HDTV and enjoy the show!

Device Requirements:
* OS X Yosemite 10.10 or higher
* 64-bit processor
* Apple TV (2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation) or Chromecast (1st and 2nd generation)
* 25.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Beamer 3.0 is only $19.99 USD (or equivalent amounts in other currencies), and is available worldwide through the Beamer website. Existing Beamer 2 owners can upgrade via Beamer's unique "Pay What You Want" upgrade program. Review copies are available upon request.

Rochester, New York - Duo-Pisces today is pleased to announce the release of TSpeaker 1.0 for iOS devices. TSpeaker is a text-to-speech app which can speak out loud any text in all the languages that iOS devices support. The text length can be either a short sentence or a lengthy story. For a short sentence, it is good for learning to speak foreign languages. For the lengthy text, TSpeaker can be used as a story reader when the story file can be loaded into TSpeaker by an email attachment.

Furthermore, TSpeaker will highlight each word currently being spoken so that it is easier for a user to learn the language. The voice of the speaker can also be personalized such as the speed, pitch and volume.

"With TSpeaker, learning to speak foreign languages is fun, and it has also limited intelligence to speak different languages in the same paragraph such as a paragraph with mixed English and other language when the device is set in that language." explained Christine Wang, the co-founder of Duo-Pisces.
