In fact, in the field of Silicon Valley, service robots innovative companies are emerging, such as spectators attending startups Telepresence Robotics (TRC) of the CTO John Sokol believes that service robot market is still in its early stages, it is difficult to predict the real future potential. But as the history of the development of mobile phones, as in the early days, no one can really predict the market prosperity later.
It is understood, TRC is a robot augmented reality experience to the commercial area of service robotics company that provides cloud-based Robot-as-a-Service service. This can be used for all types of service robots for commercial, office and home environment, instead of people to complete a variety of work. Developers can access the TRC RaaS deployed in public cloud or private cloud RaaS business platform for the development of a variety of commercial robots TRC program. TRC robots based on very mature two-wheeled balancing vehicle technology, you can easily across uneven pavement, and even wire on the ground, gravel, grass and vines and the like.

DVBS: AfterBurner (TM) World's Fastest Single CPU Web Server Now Market-Ready

DVBS: AfterBurner (TM) World's Fastest Single CPU Web Server Now Market-Ready
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael Meyer,
Chairperson/Founding President of Digital Video Broadcast Systems (DVBS) has
announced that the company's flagship product, the AfterBurner(TM) web server
package is now ready for the commercial marketplace.

The AfterBurner(TM) technology is a cost-effective, high-performance
alternative to expensive additional web or cache servers, and can be used as a
"stand-alone" or combined with an existing server or network. Over the past
several months, John Sokol, Chief Technical Officer/Co-founder, and creative
and technical force behind DVBS, has been streamlining the AfterBurner(TM)
technology for commercial application.
The competitive advantages of the AfterBurner(TM) include: unprecedented
capacity and faster response speed than existing single CPU servers (2875 hits
per second, over 4000 concurrent users), and a lower cost per user-hit. Using
a raw UNIX platform which provides rock solid reliability, robust
multi-tasking and high security, the AfterBurner(TM) prevents network crashes
caused by high demand. AfterBurner(TM)'s advantage arises from its ability to
use less RAM memory (because of no child processes).
In independent tests (completed February 12, 1999), AfterBurner(TM)
surpassed the industry's leading servers: Apache and Zeus. Using identical
hardware, AfterBurner(TM) outperformed Apache by 164 % and Zeus by
52%, according to the Certified Performance Report of Mindcraft, Inc., a
leading independent performance measurement facility. Tests were completed
using
off-the-shelf hardware (retail value US$2,300) -- a single Pentium II 450 MHz
processor, 1 GIG of RAM, 1 gigabit Ethernet card, and 1 VGA card. Detailed
test results are available upon request.
AfterBurner(TM)'s performance may -- in fact -- exceed the documented
test results, since the testing infrastructure was incapable of loading
AfterBurner(TM) to its limit. AfterBurner(TM)'s unparalleled speed and
capacity renders it particularly valuable for high traffic web sites and those
that offer large data transfers and downloads (Netscape browsers, game
software, and music video downloads, for example). AfterBurner(TM) answers
the needs of a growing server market to increase web-hosting capacity.
DVBS' strategy is to partner with established technology leaders and
leverage existing distribution and marketing channels to bring its innovative
technologies to the marketplace Several licensing deals and joint-venture
agreements, with industry and qualified financial partners, have already been
signed.
William Bang, Sr. Vice-President/Chief Financial Officer/Co-founder of
DVBS and a former Korean businessman, has been instrumental in securing
agreements with DigiCom and ThruNet (the largest ISP in Asia), as well as a
joint venture with DACOM, Asia's largest backbone company. Negotiations are
continuing with HanYang Engineering, the largest manufacturer of RAM chips for
Sun Microsystems and SamSung. And, SungJin has renewed their commitment to
pay US$1.5 million up-front to DVBS upon delivery of the new compression
algorithms for the security industry, plus an additional 17% royalty per unit.
In North America, marketing partners in Vancouver, Seattle, Los Angeles,
Houston, El Paso, Salt Lake City and others are established: DVBS is planning
to finalize deals with over 30 resellers in the next 90 days. DVBS is also in
active negotiations with a publicly-traded company and its technology
subsidiary to roll-out the Symmetrically Distributed Server Network (SDSN)
which allows users to connect multiple AfterBurner(TM) servers.
Under an agreement with Creative Artists Agency for Watcha '99 and other
coming events -- the capacity of the AfterBurner(TM) and its associated
LiveCam and distributed serving technologies (SDSN) will be demonstrated in
summer and fall 1999 cybercasts of selected Latin-style concerts, including
the Latin Style Magazine Music Awards in October with appearances by top Latin
entertainers.
At a retail price of US$28,000 to $250,000 per unit, even 1% of the
Internet server market would generate $170 million in sales for DVBS and its
partners. The AfterBurner(TM) could also capture a share of the cache-server
market, projected to grow to 2 billion by the year 2002. Markets include
hardware manufacturers who would incorporate AfterBurner(TM) solutions in
their product offering under an exclusive licensing agreement -- and
-- software manufacturers who could incorporate AfterBurner(TM) into an
existing server software solution or sell AfterBurner(TM) as a separate
accelerator software product.
DVBS has retained Bereskin & Parr, a leading Canadian intellectual
property law firm, and has patents pending on AfterBurner(TM) and other
protocol technology.
Digital Video Broadcast Systems (DVBS), a technology incubator, has
operations in the U.S., Canada and Asia. Its mission is the development of
communication technologies that will improve voice, data, image transmission
and reception over the Internet and Intranet. The DVBS technical team is
based in the Silicon Valley, California. Management, marketing and
administrative offices are located in Vancouver, British Columbia; Toronto,
Ontario; Los Angeles, CA; New York, NY; and in Seoul, Korea.
