N-trig, providers of DuoSense technology, combining pen and capacitive touch in a single device, brings the power of technology and the human touch together to begin a new era in interface technologies and lead the Hands-on computing evolution. With the industry’s only combined pen and multi-touch capabilities, N-trig is transforming the way people interact with computers.

Touch has been present within the world of personal computing for several years and DuoSense takes the established technology to new levels enabling a more intuitive, personal and natural Hands-on computing experience. Using zero-pressure capacitive touch, N-trig’s DuoSense technology opens a new world of capabilities – providing software developers and OEMs the ability to customize both hardware and software applications that enable a true multi-touch experience.

“We believe Hands-on computing will change how the world interacts with computers. From image manipulation and gaming, to graphic and industrial design, N-trig is breaking down the barriers between humans and their machines,” said Amihai Ben-David, CEO of N-trig. “Our technology enables OEMs and ISVs to create new depths of interaction through customization of applications that offer greater functionality, usability and capitalize on our ability to use two of the most basic extensions of the brain – the pen and our fingertips.”

Realizing the power of the human interface, N-trig’s DuoSense digitizers are designed to integrate easily, support any type of screen, keep devices slim, light and bright, and can support numerous applications from small notebooks to large LCDs. Combined, pen and touch enables users to open files, manipulate pictures and browse the desktop as they would the files on their desk.

Currently available on the Dell Latitude XT and additional OEM designs planned to come to market in early 2009, N-trig is opening a window onto a world where multi-touch is the accepted standard for computer interfaces.

Alereon today announced Toshiba’s new Wireless USB dynadock(TM) is powered by Alereon’s AL5000 Worldwide Wireless USB Chipset. The new Toshiba solution is the world’s highest performance and the only full featured docking station to meet the needs of the office environment. In addition, when used in conjunction with a Toshiba PCIe ExpressCard34 or WUSB adapter, the dynadock(TM) is the only solution available worldwide that can operate in WiMedia band groups one, three, and six, meeting regulatory requirements across the globe via simple software configuration. Alereon will demonstrate the product at the WiMedia Open House in Seoul Korea at the JW Marriott on Wednesday, October 22.

“The Toshiba wireless dynadock(TM) is a real breakthrough in wireless USB products,” said Eric Broockman, CEO of Alereon. “With features and performance that no other product on the market can match, the dynadock(TM) brings the best of Alereon’s technology together with one of the world’s top computer and peripheral manufacturers and delivers a breakthrough product that customers can really use.”

The dynadock(TM) is a universal wireless docking station with video output to easily connect to all of your workspace peripherals, including an external monitor. The docking station includes not only multiple USB connections, but unlike other wireless docking solutions, the dynadock(TM) adds support for Ethernet, and is the first solution to support full bi-directional isochronous data transfers to serve the needs of audio and video applications such as USB speakers, web cams and video cameras. As with all Wireless USB solutions connectivity is simple, the user just enters the range of the dock to connect, and leaves the range to disconnect. If the user chooses not to use the wireless capabilities, unlike other solutions the dynadock(TM) allows a wired USB connection to be used instead of a wireless one.

“We strive to provide our consumers high-quality solutions that provide industry leading features and performance,” said Hitoshi Tokuda, General Manager of World-Wide Marketing PC Options for Toshiba PC. “Alereon is the only supplier solution that supplies industry leading throughput, innovative features and functions such as support for audio and video devices and is compatible with the worldwide regulatory environment.”
