MILPITAS, Calif., May 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Crocus Technology Inc., developer of XtremeSense® TMR sensors, today announced the release of a high accuracy energy metering solution with isolated current sensing and a digital output. The solution is capable of measuring power, voltage and current while providing 1,820 VPK isolation in AC or DC applications. The result is a smaller and more efficient design without the use of large current transformers. The solution is ideal for a range of smart devices such as power supply monitors, electric vehicle chargers, household appliances, motor control and smart lighting.

The solution consists of the Crocus’ CT430 TMR isolated current sensor, Microchip’s ATtiny426 microcontroller, Printed Circuit Board (PCB), design files, microcontroller firmware, Bill of Materials (BoM) list, user guide and relevant support for designing a fully functional power monitoring solution. The design solution has been verified to accurately read and quantize the voltage and current values prior to calculating the instantaneous and Root Mean Square (RMS) power components, active and reactive power, as well as power factor. These power values are stored in registers which can be accessed by an external microcontroller via the SPI interface. By offloading the design effort of measuring and calculating power, the Crocus metering solution simplifies the addition of metering capabilities to any smart device.

The key to precise power measurements is the CT430 current sensor which provides better than 1% current measurement accuracy over the -40°C to +125°C operating range. It is available in a small 16-lead SOIC-Wide package, eliminating the need for bulky current transformers and allowing for more compact designs. The CT430 solution can also be customized with different bus interfaces such as I2C, SENT and CAN. By leveraging the solution, manufacturers and designers can quickly develop accurate and compact power monitoring capabilities for their products. See the figure below for the system diagram of the Crocus reference design kit for power measurements.

“Being able to accurately measure power and communicate this data within a system continues to be a challenge for designers,” said Tim Kaske Crocus Vice President, Sales & Marketing. “The Crocus solution with the CT430 current sensor provides improved accuracy over existing magnetic sensor based designs. With a validated design solution and a 12-week lead-time, OEM design customers are able to quickly integrate the energy metering solution into their end products.”

N2WS Announces Major Enhancements for N2WS Backup and Recovery Version 4.1, Now Available in AWS Marketplace

N2WS Backup & Recovery for AWS

N2WS Backup & Recovery for AWS

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., May 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — N2WS (N2W Software, Inc.) announces the immediate availability of N2WS Backup and Recovery version 4.1. This release includes major enhancements and new integrations to further protect workloads running on Amazon Web Services (AWS), including SAP HANA and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP.

N2WS supports business continuity by providing a simple backup and recovery solution that leverages cloud-native technologies to ensure that cloud workloads are available and always recoverable. N2WS customers further benefit by always maintaining complete sovereignty and control of their data.

“We’ve been using N2WS to meet and exceed customer requirements for the past several years,” said Lee Blakely at Reliable Penguin, a Managed Services Provider (MSP), and N2WS and AWS customer. “Now that N2WS has released immutable backup support, among other key features, we’ve been able to add another layer of critical data protection for our customers, especially when it comes to ransomware concerns.”

“Since 2012, our goal at N2WS has been to provide peace of mind by offering our customers the easiest way to backup and recover their AWS workloads and data,” said Uri Wolloch, CTO at N2W Software. “That means we’re very responsive to the needs of our customers. And the new features of this release, like SAP HANA backup and copy Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL to Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), were developed to support our customers who use those technologies on AWS and want a simple, streamlined solution to ensure 100% availability.”

“Customers are increasingly running business-critical workloads on AWS to gain benefits of scale, accessibility, and security,” said Mona Chadha, Director, AWS Marketplace, Amazon Web Services (AWS). “Workloads like SAP HANA or native AWS services like Amazon RDS and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP are essential to business operations and require comprehensive backup and recovery solutions like N2WS to better ensure business continuity and data protection. With exclusive availability in AWS Marketplace, N2WS also makes it easy for customers to adopt and deploy their solution on AWS.”

N2WS version 4.1 breakout features include:

ENHANCED in Data Protection
Ensure resiliency and protection of data backups with immutable backups stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). This adds another layer of protection against ransomware, malicious attacks, and accidental deletions of critical customer data stored in Amazon S3. Use N2WS to ensure that these immutable backups cannot be deleted until the specified governance period ends. Even in the case of an account-level compromise, backup data will remain immutable from change or deletion.

NEW in Database Backup
N2WS announces native support to protect SAP HANA running on AWS. Customers that deploy SAP HANA on AWS can streamline backup orchestration of SAP HANA in-memory database to Amazon S3. With N2WS, SAP administrators can recover SAP HANA instances and databases to a production state within minutes. Administrators can meet organizational data protection goals by automating cross-region disaster recovery for SAP HANA and create immutable SAP HANA backups using the NEW N2WS support of Amazon S3 Object Lock. This benefits customers that run SAP HANA on AWS with an easy-to-implement and easy-to-use backup and recovery tool.

NEW in Data Lifecycle Management
Customers are continuing to adopt Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for critical workloads within an organization. Often these workloads come with strict mandates for data retention that could be cost-prohibitive without a data lifecycle plan in place. N2WS now offers comprehensive backup, disaster recovery and data lifecycle management for Amazon RDS databases running the MySQL or PostgreSQL engines. With N2WS, you can archive Amazon RDS databases to Amazon S3, Amazon S3 Glacier, or Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive and rehydrate archived databases back to a production state within minutes.

ENHANCED Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Capture and Clone
N2WS focuses on making sure that customer workloads are always available and accessible. But, to truly guarantee availability of data, network infrastructure needs to be protected and recoverable as well. Now, with N2WS Backup & Recovery, customers can protect additional VPC entities, including Transit Gateway, Customer Gateway, VPN Gateway, site-to-site VPN connections. Restore VPC entities, security groups, and network settings to previous states and clone to other AWS regions or AWS accounts — ensuring that data and network infrastructure is always protected from downtime or outages.

NEW Support for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP
N2WS announces backup and recovery support for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP in addition to existing support for Amazon FSx for Windows File Server and Amazon FSx for Lustre. Administrators can automate backups and easily monitor backup status for Amazon FSx services along with their other AWS services. With N2WS, admins can also orchestrate recovery of Amazon FSx along with other workload components like Amazon Transit Gateway and Amazon VPC settings as well as any other supporting servers, data, and metadata.

View the N2WS v4.1 Release Notes
https://support.n2ws.com/portal/en/kb/articles/release-notes-for-the-latest-v4-1-x-cpm-release

Quad nations warn against ‘change by force’ with eyes on China

Published by
AFP

Tokyo (AFP) – Leaders of Japan, India, Australia and the United States warned Tuesday against attempts to “change the status quo by force” as concerns grow about whether China could invade self-ruled Taiwan. A joint statement by the so-called Quad bloc avoided any direct mention of China’s growing military power in the region, but left little doubt about where its concerns lie. The carefully worded document also made reference to the conflict in Ukraine, but without offering any joint position on the Russian invasion that India has pointedly declined to condemn.

Sweegen Wins Stevia Reb M Patent Lawsuit Against PureCircle

Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., May 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sweegen, the global pioneer in wellness ingredient technologies and innovations, announced its victory against PureCircle in a stevia Rebaudioside M (Reb M) patent lawsuit.

“Today’s judgment vindicates Sweegen and affirms the company’s position as an industry leader in innovative sweetener solutions,” said Steven Chen, CEO of Sweegen.

PureCircle, acquired by Ingredion in 2020, had filed the 2018 lawsuit against Sweegen in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, accusing Sweegen of infringing two PureCircle patents covering the manufacture of Reb M.

The legal tide turned on PureCircle when Sweegen obtained a summary judgment that both of PureCircle’s asserted patents are invalid. Since it is impossible to infringe an invalid patent, the court’s invalidation of the asserted patents ends the infringement case against Sweegen at the U.S. District Court.

“As a holder of core proprietary technologies of wellness ingredients, Sweegen vigorously guards its intellectual property rights and respects those of others,” said Chen. “We have always maintained that PureCircle’s patents were invalid and its case against Sweegen spurious.”

Sweegen is the primary producer of the highly sought-after non-GMO Reb M originating from the stevia leaf, made with a proprietary clean bioconversion method.

The case is PureCircle USA Inc., et al. v. Sweegen, Inc., et al., case number 8:18-CV-01679-JVS-JDE, in the United States District Court, Central District of California, Southern Division.

About Sweegen
