JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd., one of the world's largest manufacturers of high-performance solar cells and solar power products, announced that it will showcase a new generation of high-efficiency solar modules and solar cells powered by its proprietary SECIUM and Maple technology at this year's Intersolar Exhibition, which will be held in Munich, Germany, in early June.Developed using JA Solar's proprietary new high-efficiency solar cell processing technology, SECIUM and Maple cells can achieve conversion efficiency levels well above those of conventional solar cells. Mono-crystalline SECIUM cells can achieve a conversion efficiency of up to 19.2%, while poly-crystalline Maple cells can achieve up to 18.2%. Both products are already in volume production.The new SECIUM 260W PV module product features sixty 6-inch mono-crystalline SECIUM cells, while the SECIUM 300W PV module employs a 72-cell format. Both are designed to take full advantage of the higher power output of SECIUM cells and deliver some of the highest power-per-area ratios in the industry. The Maple 250W module utilizes JA Solar's newly developed Maple poly-crystalline solar cell in a sixty-cell format, providing a cost-effective solution for maximizing power output over a limited area.PV module products incorporating JA Solar's new SECIUM and Maple solar cells generate approximately 10% more power than conventional polycrystalline PV modules, enabling a lower weight-per-area ratio as well as reducing balance-of-system and installation costs per watt.JA Solar will showcase the new solar cell and module products at the Intersolar Exhibition in Munich, Germany from June 8-11, 2011.

Cayin's digital signage players empower 22 LCD screens in the Glorietta and Greenbelt cinemas at the Ayala Malls in the Philippines. This project was conducted and implemented by Mediacast Digital Group, Cayin's certified reseller in the Philippines.Cayin said its digital signage players offer greater flexibility as compared to using a PC solution. In the past, the staff of a theater only used Microsoft PowerPoint to create content and was limited to creating a simple layout without scheduling. With Cayin's digital signage solution, administrators can create templates with multiple zones, such as multimedia, image slideshow, clock, ticker and Flash in one layout.Each screen displays movie information including: movie posters, movie trailers, synopses, approved movie rating, screening time, and other cinema promotions. Screens can always display up-to-date information of movies automatically based on the playlists and schedules.Cayin offers digital signage solutions including media players, servers, and software for various industries, such as education, retail, corporate, financial and public institutions.

Taipei, Taiwan, May 31, 2011 - GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co., Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards and computing hardware solutions today announced their latest EZ Smart Response utility that allows users to install Intel Smart Response Technology with the click of a mouse, even if their system is set to IDE mode, without having to reinstall their Windows operating system."One of the key benefits of GIGABYTE's new Z68 Express chipset enabled motherboards is support for Intel's Smart Response Technology, which delivers an exceptional performance boost for our customers," commented Henry Kao, VP of Worldwide Sales and Marketing at GIGABYTE. "We hope that the majority of our customers enable this technology, and therefore we have developed our own unique EZ Smart Response utility that allows users to effortlessly set up Intel Smart Response technology so they can quickly experience the all performance benefits it has to offer."GIGABYTE is once again leading the industry for their support of Intel Smart Response Technology with the recent announcement of the world's first range of Z68 mSATA enabled motherboards as well as the soon-to-be available GIGABYTE Z68XP-UD3-iSSD motherboard that comes pre-bundled with the 20GB Intel SSD 311 Series. With the launch of the EZ Smart Response utility, GIGABYTE is the only motherboard manufacturer to give their customers, whether using a standard SSD or onboard mSATA, the ability to quickly set up and install Intel Smart Response technology with the simple click of a mouse.About GIGABYTE EZ Smart ResponseThe GIGABYTE EZ Smart Response utility is a simple application that allows users to quickly and easily configure their system for Intel Smart Response Technology. In the past, enabling Intel® Smart Response meant users needed to enter the BIOS in order to configure their system for RAID mode, which then required a complete reinstall of the operating system. Once that processes was complete, users then needed to install the Intel® Rapid Storage Utility as well as configure Intel's Smart Response Technology. GIGABYTE EZ Smart Response does all of this automatically, without users having to perform a complicated install process.This allows them to quickly and effortlessly enjoy a significant boost in system performance.Intel Smart Response TechnologyGIGABYTE Z68 series motherboards are equipped with the much anticipated Intel Smart Response Technology, allowing users to experience system performance similar to SSD only systems. Intel Smart Response technology works by using intelligent block-based caching of frequently used applications to improve system performance andresponsiveness. In fact, GIGABYTE Z68 motherboards with Intel Smart Response Technology are able to outperform hybrid drive systems by more than 2X (PC Mark Vantage HDD test) and HDD-only systems by as much as 4X (PC Mark Vantage HDD test) and deliver a 60% performance improvement over HDD-only systems in PC Mark Vantage Suite.To see the GIGABYTE EZ Smart Response utility in action, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/user/MoboTV2010#p/a/u/0/yHhCIv8GdRg
