New York, NY (PRWEB) May 29, 2012

The International design authority Dwell Media and the ground-breaking weekly New York Magazine today announce a historic media partnership. This fall the two independent media companies are teaming up to celebrate architecture and design in New York City with the creation of a co-branded print publication and a week-long design festival to be held Oct 1-7.

The partnership combines the strengths of Dwells expertise on modern design and architecture with New Yorks authoritative and influential voice on urban culture and New York design to create a new annual celebration of architecture and design in New York. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) New York chapter has coined the month of October as Archtober, calendaring programming, tours, and talks dedicated to architecture. Dwell and New York will be kicking off Archtober month by hosting its design-related events and home tours in Manhattan and Brooklyn that first week, the goal being to make October the premier month for celebration of architecture and design in NYC.

The joint publication is being co-created with the Dwell and New York editorial teams, led by Amanda Dameron and Wendy Goodman respectively, and will feature designer profiles, unique projects, and sneak peeks of the home tours, as well as a festival guide. The total distribution will be 150,000, tapping a portion of each titles New York area subscribers and newsstands. The co-branded issue will be included with Dwells October issue and New Yorks September 17 issue. Advertising and sponsorships will be sold by both organizations.

Dwell Media President, Michela OConnor Abrams: It has always been part of our plan at Dwell Media to bring a world class event to New York City similar to what we have done in Los Angeles with Dwell on Design each June. New York magazine was the perfect partner for this endeavor as both of our brands celebrate great design and embrace new challenges. We look forward to developing a unique and enduring partnership that delivers a fresh perspective and new ideas to New Yorks design community.

Coming on the heels of our successful new stand-alone magazine New York Design Hunting, this partnership with Dwell Media is an exciting opportunity to further our impact in the design world, says New York Media publisher Larry Burstein. This is the first time in recent years that weve teamed up in this way with another magazine, and doing so with an influential brand like Dwell the results are sure to be phenomenal.

The home tours in Manhattan and Brooklyn on the weekend of Oct 5 will sell a limited number of tickets available for purchase at http://www.dwellhometours.com. Grohe is committed as Official Sponsor, and the Grohe Live showroom on Fifth Avenue will be the ticket pick-up location for the Manhattan home tours.

San Francisco, California (PRWEB) June 19, 2012

The Academy of Art University announced today that it has launched a new, free iPad app featuring the art and design work of alumni. The A/JOURNAL app, which brings to life the Universitys A/JOURNAL traditional print quarterly magazine, features accomplishments of Academy alumni worldwide, including photo galleries, interviews, videos, slideshows, and interactive opportunities.

The app, which can be downloaded for free on iTunes, was created in partnership with Adobe, developer of the Digital Publishing Suite, and MEI, which built the templates and interactive elements using Digital Publishing Suite technology and continues to provide the Academy with hands-on training and support.

Academy alumni are some of the worlds greatest artists and designers, said Dr. Elisa Stephens, President of the Academy of Art University. We wanted to create an interactive digital media platform that allows people to fully grasp the color, detail and creativity behind each alumni project. Adobe and MEI have enabled us to create an interactive app that not only allows alumni to share their work on new projects with their fellow alumni, but that allows the public to see the high-quality work that Academy graduates are doing in their chosen professions.

Features of the new app include:


Table of Contents Page: A tool that allows the user to preview articles by swiping through photos.

Latitude/Longitude Map: What was once a standard map feature in the print magazine has been brought to life by hyperlinks that reveal GPS locations of alumni on a Google map.

Video: Academy graduates include motion-picture artists, animators and video-game designers, among others, which makes video a crucial feature of the alumni magazine.

Profiles: Features about former students who are applying the skills they developed at the Academy of Art in their professional careers. Stories include hyperlinks to websites so users can learn more about the person and their work.

Out There Section: Updates on alumni featuring slideshows and videos, including an interactive feature that allows other alumni to submit descriptions of projects for future editions.

Social Networking: The app includes a live Twitter feed with the ability to tweet, email or share via the Facebook and LinkedIn networks.

Adobe Digital Publishing Suite is ideal for a university like the Academy of Art because it enables projects that cant be fully showcased in print media to come alive. From illustration and video to multimedia, entire galleries of work can be displayed in a much more comprehensive, engaging way, said Trevor Bailey, director of worldwide education, Adobe. Using Adobe Digital Publishing Suite not only enriches the way the work is shown, but it provides the university with an opportunity to save significant costs, reach a wider audience on all leading mobile platforms, build brand in the digital space and have a positive impact on the environment.

The beauty of this partnership is that weve been able to provide the Academy of Art University with a cutting-edge digital publication that maintains design continuity with their traditional print publication, said David Gillespie, MEI Senior Account Executive. We are currently helping the university maximize the capabilities of this technology, and are looking forward to breaking new ground with them in their ongoing digital efforts.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) June 13, 2012

Embedded Computing Design announced that MonolithIC 3D Inc.s Founder and CEO, Zvi Or-Bach, has been selected as 2012 Top Embedded Innovator for “breakthrough techniques that enable the fabrication of 3D semiconductor device using conventional fabrication equipment”. The award was announced in the magazines June edition. MonolithIC 3D Inc. was previously chosen as a Finalist of the Best of Semicon West 2011 in recognition of its financial impact on the industry, engineering or scientific achievement, and/or societal impact. Zvi Or-Bach contributed to the invention of the first structured ASIC architecture, the first single via programmable array, and the first laser-based system for one-day gate array customization, was noted in the article.

We are very pleased with the magazine choice of the monolithic 3D for the top innovation in the Silicon category. As dimensional scaling is now at the pivotal point of escalating costs and on chip interconnect delays, there is clear need for innovation, says Or-Bach. We believe that the emerging trend of 3D IC technology and more so the development of monolithic 3D technology will augment dimensional scaling in maintaining and accelerating the historical trend of improvements of electronic products.

MonolithIC 3D has innovated practical technologies to process multiple tiers of circuits with vertical connectivity comparable to horizontal connectivity. The technology utilizes thin layers (

In the next 10 years we expect to see rapid growth in wireless communication, especially in the Internet of Things, says Or-Bach. Some applications will become mission-critical, such as autonomously driven vehicles and accident-avoidance systems. 3D ICs will offer a new architectural paradigm, such as ultra-low-power systems and ultra-high integration, for embedded computing designs.

Zvi has been innovating and creating value for decades, and has stepped it up to another level with his breakthrough contributions to the semiconductor industry through MonolithIC 3D Inc., said Brian Cronquist, VP of Technology & IP at MonolithIC 3D Inc. The monolithic 3D breakthroughs have been applied to memory, such as DRAM and NVRAM, as well as to optoelectronics and eDRAM monolithically integrated with high speed logic.

Zvi Or-Bach is a well-known serial entrepreneur. He founded eASIC in 1999 and served as the company’s CEO for six years. eASIC was funded by leading investors Vinod Khosla and KPCB in three successive rounds. Or-Bach also founded Chip Express in 1989 (recently acquired by Gigoptix) and served as the company’s President and CEO for almost 10 years, bringing the company to $ 40M revenue and to an industry recognition for three consecutive years as a high-tech Fast 50 Company that served over 1000 ASIC designs, including many one-day prototypes and one-week production delivery. In 2009 he founded and incorporated MonolithIC 3D Inc., a company that developed and patented a technology breakthrough for practical monolithic 3D-ICs.
