GENEVA, July 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- STMicroelectronics , a leader in non-volatile memory technology, has introduced 1MHz two-wire serial EEPROMs in 256-Kbit, 512-Kbit and 1-Mbit densities, compatible with I2C Fast-Mode-Plus allowing data rates up to 2.5-times faster than the I2C Fast-mode. Operating at 1MHz, the M24M01-HR is able to complete a 1-Mbit data transaction in 1 second; the 256-Kbit M24256-BHR in a quarter of a second; and the 512-Kbit M24512-HR in half a second.

The two-wire serial EEPROM supports multiple access modes, including byte-write mode as well as 64, 128 and 256-byte page-write modes, random and sequential read modes, automatic address incrementing. As well as easing design in, these modes help engineers optimize system performance and power consumption. A write-control input is provided, while three chip-enable pins allow up to eight devices on a single bus. Also aiding design-in for low-voltage or standard-voltage systems, all three densities are available in variants operating from 1.8V to 5.5V or 2.5V to 5.5V.

ST's advanced fabrication process has enabled the speed advantages of 1MHz operation at a competitive cost, and in a choice of three miniature surface-mount package styles including TSSOP8 and a 3.8mm-width (150 mils) SO-8. Low package heights of 1.2mm and 1.75mm respectively, allow use in low-profile consumer products such as digital TVs. All packages use ST's ECOPACK(R) technology, which meets international green packaging codes including the EU Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) requirements.

The devices also deliver robust performance in the field, with specified durability of one-million write cycles and more than 40 years data retention.

SeLoger.com: Ajustement des perspectives financières 2008

PARIS, July 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Le ralentissement actuel du marché de l'immobilier en France conduit le groupe SeLoger.com à communiquer sur ses perspectives financières pour l'exercice en cours.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080131/291759 )

Le basculement des dépenses publicitaires des agents immobiliers du support papier vers l'Internet, support moins onéreux et plus efficace, s'opère moins rapidement qu'anticipé. Contrairement aux attentes, la moins bonne tenue du marché de l'immobilier entraîne un certain attentisme de la part des clients notamment en province, ce qui ralentit le rythme de croissance de nouveaux clients. En revanche, l'accélération du transfert des budgets publicitaires pour les promoteurs immobiliers (marché du neuf) témoigne de l'efficacité du support online.

Le second trimestre 2008 marque une confirmation du ralentissement de la conquÃªte de nouveaux clients. Ainsi, l'objectif d'un taux de pénétration national de 70 % ne devrait Ãªtre atteint qu'à un horizon postérieur à fin 2009. En tablant sur un maintien de conditions de marché peu favorables, la société estime Ãªtre en mesure de réaliser un chiffre d'affaires compris entre 69 MEUR et 70 MEUR en progression de 21 % à 22 % par rapport à 2007 contre 73 MEUR initialement prévus. L'Ebitda consolidé devrait s'établir entre 36 MEUR et 37 MEUR contre 39 MEUR initialement anticipé. Ces chiffres conduisent à une marge d'Ebitda comprise entre 52,2 % et 52,8 % marquant une progression respectivement de 0,4 point et un point contre 1,5 point annoncé antérieurement.

Sur le plan concurrentiel, SeLoger.com continue à renforcer sa position de leader français de l'immobilier sur Internet. Le nombre de visiteurs uniques sur les sites du groupe a franchi au mois de mai 2008 un nouveau record à 1,8 million de visiteurs uniques et 23 minutes de temps passé (source : Mediametrie//Netratings). Les cinq principaux concurrents du groupe ont représenté 46 % de sa part d'audience.

Le groupe SeLoger.com reste confiant dans la solidité de son modèle économique, la pertinence de son offre commerciale aux professionnels de l'immobilier et sa capacité à poursuivre sa politique de développement sur l'ensemble du secteur immobilier.

Prochain rendez-vous : Résultats du premier semestre 2008 : 30 juillet 2008 (après la clôture)

A propos de Seloger.com

Axion Stock Resumes Trading on EBB

NEW CASTLE, Pa., July 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Axion Power International, Inc. , announced today that is has been notified that its common shares will be traded on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board as of today under the unchanged ticker symbol, "AXPW." Prior to this the shares have been traded on the Pink Sheets.

CEO Thomas Granville commented, "Although we are committed to listing Axion Power on a national exchange as soon as possible and have been exploring that potential, we are very pleased that our shares will now be traded on the Bulletin Board. We believe this upgrade will provide our shareholders and potential investors with better liquidity and market-making."

AXPW shares were moved to the Pink Sheets in October of 2006 due to the company's decision to re-file certain of its results with the SEC. The Company's filings are now current and have been filed on time since the Company became current in the first quarter of 2008. The Company is totally committed to continuing to file on a timely basis.

Granville added, "Our PbC Technology(TM) is moving toward commercialization, and we believe that we will be able to provide energy storage and spot energy needs at a more cost-efficient price than any other battery technology yet developed. We are currently preparing to ship to a utility grid demonstration project and soon we expect to announce an HEV demonstration initiative."

About Axion Power International, Inc.

Axion has developed and patented a next generation energy storage device that won the prestigious 2006 Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation Award for North America in the field of lead-acid batteries. According to Frost & Sullivan, Axion's new PbC batteries have "the potential to revitalize the lead-acid battery industry by breathing new life into an established technology that was not well-suited to the requirements of important new applications like hybrid electric vehicles and renewable power."

PbC(TM) batteries use sophisticated carbon electrode assemblies to replace the simple lead-based negative electrodes used by other lead-acid battery manufacturers. The resulting device offers energy storage approaching lead acid batteries, coupled with far longer cycle life and power output approaching super-capacitors. These low-cost devices recharge rapidly and are environmentally friendly because they use 40% less lead. Axion has been producing prototype PbC batteries at its lead-acid battery plant in New Castle, Pennsylvania for more than a year using the same cases, positive electrodes, separators, electrolytes and manufacturing equipment used in its other lead-acid battery lines. The only notable manufacturing difference is the use of Axion's proprietary carbon electrode assemblies instead of lead-based negative electrodes.

Axion's goal is to become the leading supplier of carbon electrode assemblies for the lead-acid battery industry.

AT&T Launches 3G Wireless Broadband Service in ChattanoogaBroadband-Speed Data Access Allows for Advanced Mobile Services

NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Watch video on the go. Surf the wireless Internet at lightning speed. Share live video during a wireless call. These are just a few of the things you can do with AT&T's third-generation (3G) wireless service, now available in Chattanooga. Today, AT&T Inc. announced the launch of the company's 3G wireless network in Chattanooga, offering consumers and businesses broadband-like speed and access to the latest interactive voice, video and data applications.

"New and better technologies truly help drive the growth and vibrancy of Hamilton County," said Mayor Claude Ramsey. "I would like to thank AT&T for their continued investment in our communities and for bringing 3G to our residents."

AT&T's 3G network opens the door to a new era of mobile services, devices and feature-rich audio and video content, including the simultaneous sharing of voice and live video. This rapidly expanding network, combined with an ever-expanding lineup of 3G devices including the new iPhone 3G that will be available July 11 -- gives AT&T customers in Chattanooga the best in mobile communications.

"At AT&T, our mission is to connect people where they live and work and do it better than anyone else," said Gregg Morton, president, AT&T Tennessee. "The expansion of 3G service in Chattanooga is another great example of AT&T's commitment to deliver the most advanced communications capabilities to our customers in the city of Chattanooga. This launch is the result of AT&T's continued investment in expanding wireless coverage across Tennessee."

Many of AT&T's 3G devices support AT&T Video Share(SM), a first-of-its-kind service in the U.S. that enables users to share live video while carrying on a voice call -- providing a new way to share personal moments and key events beyond the capabilities of voice, text and photos.

AT&T's 3G customers can also view razor-sharp video clips through CV, an on-demand streaming video service that offers a comprehensive library of mobile video content from CNN, FOX News, ABC Mobile, CBS Mobile, NBC, ESPN, The Weather Channel, MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, "American Idol," HBO Mobile and more.

In the past 10 years, AT&T's planned investment in its wireless and wired networks in Tennessee has exceeded $3 billion. In February, AT&T announced a planned investment of more than $60 million in the Tennessee network to expand wireless coverage. With the addition of Chattanooga, the AT&T 3G network is now available in more than 280 U.S. major metropolitan areas. The company will deliver 3G service to nearly 350 leading U.S. markets by the end of 2008, including all of the top 100 U.S. cities.

"The launch of our 3G wireless network is an example of AT&T's commitment to ensuring that our customers in Chattanooga have the latest in wireless technology available, allowing them to access video, graphics, pictures, downloads, e-mail and more at speeds faster than ever before," said Jim Thorpe, vice president and general manager of wireless operations for Tennessee and Kentucky. "Our goal is to ensure that AT&T customers in Chattanooga have the very best wireless experience possible -- which includes unmatched coverage and quality of service."

Other plans for 2008 include the completion of the nation's first High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA)-enabled network by the middle of the year. The AT&T 3G network now delivers typical downlink speeds ranging between 700 Kbps (kilobits per second) and 1.7 Mbps (megabits per second), and it will now offer faster uplink speeds ranging between 500 Kbps and 1.2 Mbps. The faster uplink speeds allow AT&T's HSUPA-enabled laptop users to quickly send large files and take full advantage of the latest Internet and business applications.

The 3G network in Chattanooga will launch with HSUPA technology. This year's HSUPA deployment in all 3G markets will complete the transition of the AT&T 3G network to High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) standards, marking the only full transition by any wireless provider in the United States to this latest generation of wireless broadband capabilities.

The AT&T 3G network also offers AT&T LaptopConnect mobile customers broadband speeds for laptops, with the ability to access the Internet, their company's intranet or corporate e-mail from anywhere within the 3G network.

The company's wireless network is based on GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) technologies, the most open and widely used wireless network platform in the world, supporting more than 87 percent of the people worldwide who use wireless devices. AT&T can connect customers in more than 200 countries for voice calling, and users have data-roaming capabilities in more than 145 countries for data access.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia, July 3 /PRNewswire/ --

Northrop Grumman Corporation's (NYSE: NOC) Sperry Marine business unit has recently unveiled a new integrated desktop marine radar designed to meet the latest International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) performance standards.

The new Sperry Marine VisionMaster FT(TM) 250 is designed to comply with the IEC 62388 CAT 2 technical requirements and meets the International Maritime Organization (IMO) carriage requirements for vessels of 5,000 to 10,000 gross tonnage. Sperry Marine plans to offer the product in radar-only and chart-radar configurations. An enhanced version will incorporate all of the CAT 1 functionality for automatic tracking and plotting on the 250 millimeter display. The products will also meet all requirements for high-speed craft.

The new radar incorporates all of the advanced functions of Sperry Marine's VisionMaster FT family of integrated marine navigation products, and features the industry's most advanced automatic clutter-suppression technology, ensuring detection and tracking of small radar targets in the presence of sea or rain clutter.

"The VisionMaster FT 250 desktop radar gives smaller vessels the automatic tracking and plotting technology -- normally only available in a CAT 1 radar -- in a compact, cost-effective, easy-to-install package," said John Robinson, Sperry Marine's strategic business unit director for radar.

The new radar uses a state-of-the-art high-resolution LCD screen and contains all of the below-deck components, including a processor and interfaces, in a single compact console. The unit has been designed for easy "plug-and-play" retrofit upgrade for any Sperry Marine BridgeMaster-series radar, using the existing BridgeMaster antenna, transceiver, cabling and interfaces.

The new unit is currently undergoing final type approval tests and is expected to be commercially available in the third quarter of 2008.

Sperry Marine, headquartered in Charlottesville, Va., and with major engineering and support offices in New Malden, United Kingdom and Hamburg, Germany, provides smart navigation and ship control solutions for the international marine industry with customer service and support through offices in 16 countries, sales representatives in 47 countries and authorized service depots in more than 250 locations worldwide.

Meadows Museum Presents Jack Kilby: The Eye of Genius - Photographs by the Inventor of the Microchip, July 12 - September 21, 2008

DALLAS, July 3 /PRNewswire/ -- SMU -- Jack St. Clair Kilby's invention of the integrated circuit (IC), or microchip, at Texas Instruments in 1958 revolutionized the world, creating limitless applications for computers, calculators, space-age technology and much more. For his contribution to the field of engineering, Kilby received numerous awards and honors, including the Nobel Prize in Physics, National Medal of Science and induction into the Inventors Hall of Fame. Unknown to most people, however, is Kilby's artistic bent, which included making photographs of great sensitivity and beauty.

In honor of the 50th anniversary of Kilby's significant invention of the microchip, the Meadows Museum at Southern Methodist University presents an exhibition to celebrate Kilby the photographer. Jack Kilby: The Eye of Genius - Photographs by the Inventor of the Microchip, on exhibit from July 12 through September 21, 2008, will feature 58 of his finest works drawn from the collection of his remarkable photographs now housed at the DeGolyer Library at SMU.

A quiet, unassuming man, Jack Kilby (1923-2005) was a celebrity in the field of engineering but was relatively obscure as a photographer; only his family and a few friends knew of his passion for the subject. Despite a demanding career at Texas Instruments, he was a serious photographer with prolific and varied output. He used a Hasselblad medium format camera, developed his own negatives and showed real ingenuity in framing, printing and cropping his photographs. He eagerly captured people at work, cityscapes, and industrial landscapes, and he also used various photographic processes to experiment with abstraction. In particular, he took a keen interest in laborers and their occupations, and photographed them from many trades and locations -- construction workers high atop beams and girders, steel mill workers pouring molten metal, cowboys taking a cigarette break.

Kilby exhibited his prints both locally with the Dallas Camera Club and nationally at juried salons organized by the Photographic Society of America (PSA). He took a leave of absence from TI in 1970 to work as an independent inventor, which gave him more time for photography; the following year, his work was accepted in 24 international salons, including one at the Seattle Art Museum, which purchased one of his prints.

By the mid 1980s, probably due in part to his failing eyesight and hearing, Kilby was no longer active in photography, but he left a prodigious body of work from the previous 20 years -- some 18,000 negatives. Moreover, he continued to be remembered in photographic circles, and in 1991 received the PSA's highest award, the Progress Medal. Among other achievements, the award recognized him "For his creative genius that ultimately led to enhanced picture quality through automatic operation of cameras and photographic equipment. For his engineering skills from which modern computers and superior lens technology evolved. For inventing the hand-held calculator, an extraordinary device that has so enhanced the everyday lives of photographers."

After Kilby's death in 2005, his daughters donated a significant collection of materials relating to both his career as an engineer and life as a photographer to SMU's DeGolyer Library, home of the Texas Instruments corporate archive. The donation includes Kilby's photograph collection of over 18,000 negatives and prints, in addition to his papers, personal books and numerous awards. The Eye of Genius exhibit will highlight his photographs as well as selected manuscripts and such objects as Kilby's original notebook with the IC design drawings, Nobel Prize, first microchip and calculator, all drawn from the TI historical archives, Jack Kilby collection and some loaned material from the family and Texas Instruments. Curated by Anne E. Peterson, DeGolyer Library's Curator of Photographs, this exhibition has been organized by the Meadows Museum in collaboration with the DeGolyer Library with generous support from The Meadows Foundation and Texas Instruments. It will be on display in the downstairs galleries, which are open to the public free of charge, from July 12 to September 21, 2008.
