LEAD Technologies has released a significant upgrade to its LEADTOOLS version 19 product line that touches a wide range of technologies including OCR, document imaging, medical imaging and PACS. “This release encapsulates LEAD’s commitment to its broad customer base and demonstrates the skill and diversity of our programmers and imaging experts, all of which continue to ensure LEADTOOLS’ position as the world-leading imaging SDK,” stated Jordan Shields, Vice President, LEAD Technologies. These updates are freely available to all registered LEADTOOLS Version 19 and annual maintenance customers.
New Java Libraries for Windows and Linux
Multiple coding teams at LEAD Technologies combined their efforts with a single purpose to resolve numerous customer requests for Java libraries for LEADTOOLS. These Java libraries expand LEADTOOLS functionality for Linux with support for OCR, Documents library services, Document Writers, Document Converter, vector and document formats such as PDF and DOCX, and SANE scanning. Additionally, the libraries provide a common programming interface to develop applications for Windows and Linux.
Document Viewer on Linux
The LEADTOOLS Document Viewer includes rich document viewing features such as text search, annotation, memory-efficient paging, inertial scrolling and vector display. LEADTOOLS' Document Viewer supports viewing PDF, MS-Office, AutoCAD DWG/DXF and many vector/raster formats. Developers and administrators can host all of the services required by the LEADTOOLS Document Viewer using Java services on Linux servers.
Document Writers Available for Linux
LEADTOOLS Document Writers are now available for Linux. LEADTOOLS’ Document Writers create PDF, PDF/A, DOCX, RTF, TEXT and ALTOXML from SVG input. Other technologies within LEADTOOLS that create SVG, such as OCR, can leverage the Document Writers to save these document formats.
Document Converter Available for Linux
With LEADTOOLS Document Converter technology, developers can create powerful, automated document conversion, archival and delivery systems. Under the hood, LEADTOOLS’ Document Converter technology uses a combination of raster, OCR and Document Writers technologies to convert images and documents to PDF, PDF/A, DOCX, RTF, TEXT and SVG.
Innovations Applied to the Advantage OCR Engine
The OCR specialists at LEAD Technologies continue to enhance the top-notch performance of the LEADTOOLS Advantage OCR engine in both accuracy and speed. Sweeping improvements have been made for several core features including Latin and Korean language recognition, auto-zone for images with noise and graphics, and preprocessing of noisy images. Generated documents more closely resemble the original images through enhancements to foreground and background color detection, font type recognition, and a brand-new serif and sans-serif font typeface detection. LEAD Technologies continues to dedicate and add significant resources to meet the ever-growing demands of the market.
HTML5 Medical Viewer is Better than Ever
Numerous customer requests have been included in this release such as adding structured display and templates (custom and built-in) technology to the HTML5 Medical Viewer. With these features, the end-user can design custom display templates choosing from three ways to arrange series images: sequentially, DICOM instance number or custom JavaScript function. Users can save the templates to a LEADTOOLS storage server as a DICOM structured display dataset; the LEADTOOLS Medical Viewer will use them to render series.
Additional features added to the HTML5 Medical Web Viewer include rendering encapsulated PDF documents in a viewer frame, and users can now upload DICOM to the server directly from the viewer.
Besides adding new features, LEAD Technologies continues to refine the HTML5 Medical Viewer and related services. This latest update provides many speed upgrades, including load, window-level, image processing, and cine. These optimizations open the door to higher quality MPR output and real-time window-level of large projection radiographs such as mammography and x-ray images. Other enhancements include better spyglass functionality and support to load all types of images such as CT, MR, and MG. Stack functionality has been enhanced to handle large volume stacks such as CT and MRI, and perform synchronization on two large stacks of the same anatomy. The viewer can now generate high quality orthogonal slices and use a 3D cursor for smooth MPR navigation. Additionally, the probe tools have been strengthened by adding Hounsfield (HU) scale support.
Multi-Resolution and Tiled Image Technology Added to HTML5 Medical Viewer
At the core of several of the HTML5 Medical Web Viewer enhancements is the new multi-resolution and tiled image (MRTI) technology, which optimizes the delivery of large, extremely high-resolution (up to 1TB) images, including microscopy and pathology images. MRTI intelligently serves a portion and resolution of the image based on the specific client request. This saves bandwidth, reduces memory requirements, and increases the overall efficiency of the entire system.
WADO and DICOMweb Interface
LEADTOOLS now provides extensive support for DICOM WADO, including WADO-URI, WADO-WS and DICOMweb (RESTful DICOM Services). Developers can use the API to directly access patient/study related data stored in third-party PACS or expose PACS data to direct third-party access using the DICOM defined HTTP protocol standard, including DICOM data storage (STOW-RS) over the web.
In addition, LEADTOOLS includes DICOMweb support for the LEADTOOLS high-level PACS Framework. This enables third-party systems to directly query (QIDO-RS), retrieve (WADO-RS), and store (STOW-RS) DICOM object over the web to its DICOM storage system using DICOM WADO protocol from anywhere, thereby removing the domain boundary limitation.
Advanced J2K Technology
The compression experts at LEAD Technologies have optimized the loading of heavily tiled J2K and TIFF J2K files. Additionally, they have expanded TIFF J2K technology in LEADTOOLS by adding functions to enumerate and load sub-resolutions of J2K data encapsulated in TIFF.
New Features Added to Annotation Technology
Snap-to-grid and alignment UI features have been added with this release. These features provide image markup formatting features usually only found in word processing and presentation applications.
New Image Processing Functions
Salt & Pepper Noise Removal and UnWarp image processing functions are now available in LEADTOOLS. The UnWarp function removes the distortion in an image of a cylindrical object, as if removing a label from off of the cylinder and flattening it out.
About LEAD Technologies
With a rich history of more than 25 years, LEAD has established itself as the world's leading provider of software development toolkits for document, medical, multimedia, raster and vector imaging. LEAD's flagship product, LEADTOOLS, holds the top position in every major country throughout the world and boasts a healthy, diverse customer base and strong list of corporate partners including some of the largest and most influential organizations from around the globe.

PITTSBURGH, PA – March 17, 2016 - GrapeCity, the largest component solution provider in the Microsoft Visual Studio Partner Ecosystem, today released GrapeCity Ultimate, its world-renowned offering which bundles the data and UI controls from ComponentOne Studio, Wijmo and Xuni together for web, desktop and mobile business application development. The first release of 2016 includes full Angular 2 support in Wijmo, the RTW release of Studio UWP Edition, and new controls including OLAP for Wijmo, FlexSheet for MVC and FlexPivot for WinForms, all which empower developers to spend less time coding and more time innovating.
“As the first control vendor to have controls written in TypeScript, Wijmo is driving the market by offering Angular 2 components as of December 21, 2015 for each of our UI Controls,” said Chris Bannon, product manager at GrapeCity.
Outlined in the blog post “Wijmo 2016 v1 has landed,” http://wijmo.com/wijmo-2016-v1-has-landed/ the company details that Wijmo’s Angular 2 components all offer fully declarative markup. Complete with data binding and cell templates, Wijmo controls including the datagrid, FlexGrid, allow developers to specify cell content in markup, including custom bindings and other components. “We have followed the same pattern that the Angular 2 team has set, so that when you use Wijmo components it will feel very familiar in Angular 2,” said Bannon.
Another big addition for developers working in HTML5/JavaScript is OLAP for Wijmo. This new OLAP module provides Excel-like pivot tables and charts, which allows end users to create their own analytical views of data. It is ideal for analyzing large data sets, such as from finance, healthcare and other data-intensive industries.
Released as a beta in November of 2015, GrapeCity has released to web its Studio UWP Edition, which offers a wide range of stable controls, ranging from grids to navigation to input, and the deep feature set enables a developer to jump-start implementation right out-of-the-box. Developers are able to leverage their XAML and C#/VB knowledge to build modern Windows apps and code just once across Windows 10 desktop, tablet, phone, and wearable devices.
GrapeCity and its flexible core controls have been extended to include a web-based spreadsheet control for MVC, FlexSheet for MVC, and FlexPivot for WinForms, a new Excel-like pivot table which allows users to process and aggregate millions of rows from dozens of data sources in milliseconds. Ranging from responsive to mobile first, along with fast and flexible, Ultimate offers developers a complete set of controls for increasing productivity when building enterprise applications.
Availability

DocuVieware 2 introduces the support for PDF Form Fields. The fields are displayed, the user can fill the fields and the content of the fields can be save to the PDF. Finally, the server side application can read and write the content of the fields.
Event Page Transfer Ready
On the server side, it is now possible to customize the image that will be displayed to the user without affecting the actual document.
Custom Snap-In
With a custom snap-in it is possible to perfectly fit the user interface to the purpose of the application, dramatically improving the user experience. Business applications may benefit this possibility to improve the application efficiency by proposing to the user a snap-in adapted to the business process.

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL (PRWEB) DECEMBER 02, 2015
IncrediBuild, the leading solution provider of software development and continuous delivery acceleration technology, is now integrated into Visual Studio 2015. Microsoft Corp. made the announcement as part of the Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 release.
As a result of this integration, users may have IncrediBuild installed from within Visual Studio. Current users of Visual Studio 2015 will have IncrediBuild available in the latest software updates and it will also be included in all new Visual Studio 2015 releases.
IncrediBuild allows builds, testing, and other development processes to execute in parallel locally, over a build server, or harness ideal CPU cycles in other computers over the entire network. IncrediBuild also allows Visual Studio users to scale to the cloud and use Microsoft’s Azure to add more computing resources, substantially increasing performance, speeding build time, and improving developer productivity.
“This integration brings fast development and increased functionality immediately within Visual Studio to all programmers who use Visual Studio,” said Eyal Maor, CEO of IncrediBuild. “As time to market takes on paramount importance, it is vital for developers to have easy access to development acceleration and visualize their build in an integrated fashion. It enables better software development and faster time to market, all in one package. IncrediBuild has helped thousands of development teams speed up their entire development, enable significantly faster automated testing and reducing continuous integration cycles, accelerating not only code builds but also assets builds, simulation, rendering, and more. By natively integrating IncrediBuild within Visual Studio, every development team will have the best combination of acceleration and visualization solutions along with the most powerful and robust IDE.”
Anyone who installs IncrediBuild from within Visual Studio 2015 gets IncrediBuild for free on up to 8 cores of an individual workstation. Additionally, users receive four more agents that can be used on up to 8 cores for one month free, providing total capability of 40 cores to speed up their development. Predicted Execution -- a unique IncrediBuild technology –that gives additional acceleration capabilities - is exclusively included in this free version for Visual Studio customers. IncrediBuild’s visualization technology for build monitoring replay, analysis, and error detection is used within Visual Studio -- allowing on the fly identification of inefficiencies, errors, and bottlenecks.
“With this collaboration developers can use IncrediBuild’s build engine to lay out build plans for their applications with more parallelized execution of the build. This leverages hardware resources more effectively and provides monitoring to identify bottlenecks and better understand resource usage” said John Montgomery - Partner Director of Program Management for the Visual Studio Platform at Microsoft. The complete blog post can be found here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2015/11/30/visual-studio-update-1-rtm.aspx
Seamlessly integrated into Visual Studio 2015, IncrediBuild provides capabilities not otherwise available, including:
- Build Visualization – the ability to visualize the build process, easily detect errors, and identify bottlenecks for troubleshooting and optimization.
- Predicted (Out of Order) Execution - using proprietary technology developed by IncrediBuild’s build experts, IncrediBuild’s predicted execution technology further optimizes the throughput (parallelization) and thus performance of C, C++, Android, and C# builds.

LEAD Technologies is pleased to announce the release of a major update to the LEADTOOLS Document and Medical Product lines. This update includes across-the-board enhancements to Optical Character Recognition including speed, accuracy and memory usage. In addition to the OCR enhancements, LEAD improved various document formats, updated DICOM Specification compliance, and added new features to the Medical Viewer control on multiple development platforms.
At the forefront of this update is the LEADTOOLS Advantage OCR Engine. Every facet of the LEADTOOLS' OCR algorithm is now faster or more efficient. From high-level operations such as automatic zone detection and page insertion, all the way down to spell checking and memory usage, each piece of the algorithm has been improved. The cumulative effect of these improvements resulted in an 82% speed boost to the overall performance of the LEADTOOLS Advantage OCR Engine.
The improvements to the Advantage engine's AutoZone process did more than play a part in speeding up total recognition time. LEAD's AutoZone algorithm is able to recognize both vertical and horizontal text in the same document. Also, LEADTOOLS AutoZone goes beyond mixed language support and is even able to recognize different character sets such as Latin and Asian. These advanced techniques improved the recognition accuracy of the Advantage OCR engine, making it an incredibly competitive product for applications needing comprehensive OCR capabilities.
"Our Advantage OCR Engine is better than ever before," said Moe Daher, Chairman and CEO of LEAD Technologies. "Our developers are keenly aware of new technologies, hardware advancements and opportunities which open the door to improving our software development kits. This is one of the most comprehensive performance boosts ever to our OCR engine and we are excited to see it put to use in the real world where it can improve the many applications and enterprises relying on it."
OCR was not the only technology updated within Document Imaging. Several additions and improvements to loading and saving document formats were made, including faster loading times, support for PDF forms and PDF digital signatures, and the Document Viewer control was updated to use ASP.NET MVC and can now load from SharePoint, OneDrive and Google Docs. LEAD made various improvements to Annotations and Markup, added a new unstructured forms recognition feature, extended customization options for TWAIN Web Scanning, and enhanced the TWAIN engine providing 64-bit apps access to 32-bit drivers.
Developers targeting Medical Imaging markets benefit from updates to the Medical Viewer control including speed, memory enhancements, structured display, image projection, pinch zoom, a new Patient Restrict option, and several new display options for sorting, splitting and scrolling series. LEADTOOLS DICOM Data Set improvements include support for latest DICOM 2015C Information Object Definitions, exporting and importing Native DICOM XML Model (PS3.19), and exporting to DICOM JSON model (PS3.18). Lastly, the DICOM Storage Server has new features for managing connections and forwarding requests.
Overall, the speed improvements to OCR combined with additional enhancements to various Document and Medical imaging technologies have added significant value to the LEADTOOLS Version 19 product line. These updates are freely available to all registered LEADTOOLS Version 19 and annual maintenance customers.

New release adds powerful microservice features to realtime apps and enables application logic to be executed directly within the Data Stream Network.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- NOVEMBER 18, 2015 -- PubNub, the world’s leading Data Stream Network for mobile applications, today announced the release of BLOCKS, a set of customizable microservices that give developers a simple way to add code and deploy features for realtime apps.
PubNub BLOCKS executes business logic directly on the data streaming through Pubnub’s network without splitting it off to an intermediary server controlled by the customer. This revolutionary approach streamlines app development, reduces endpoint-to-endpoint latency, and allows apps to better leverage the enormous scalability of PubNub’s Data Stream Network.
The Challenge
Traditionally, developers have expended significant time and effort to collect streaming data onto their own servers to filter, transform, and otherwise process that data, only to push that data back to the network for delivery. This approach is both costly and complex, requiring in-house expertise in distributing computing and many servers to run relatively simple business logic.
PubNub BLOCKS is the Solution
Using PubNub BLOCKS, developers can accelerate product development and reduce deployment costs by selecting from a catalog of microservices (such as BLOCKS for GPS location tracking or sensor data filtering and alerting) that developers can deploy, modify, and even create their own from scratch. PubNub BLOCKS executes directly inside the PubNub Data Stream Network across 15 global points of presence to deliver specific business functionality for realtime apps.
The initial rollout of PubNub BLOCKS will include the following customizable microservices:
Chat Routing and Escalation – Transfer a chat session to another chat user or helpdesk rep
Spammer Throttle - Filter out messages according to pre-defined spam rules
Sensor Anomaly Detection - Alert a user when a sensor reading passes a threshold
Vote Count - Count votes as they pass through the network to display live results
Leaderboard - Rank users or entities according to a key/value pair
Geo Notification - Create an alert when a user is within a certain distance of another
Bitcoin Market Prices – Tap into a bitcoin API to get the latest price
SMS - Connect with a SMS vendor to send alerts
Email - Connect with an email vendor to send email notifications
Key Benefits
Rapid Innovation—BLOCKS execute business logic within PubNub’s Data Stream Network to accelerate features from prototype to production.
Minimal latency— Developers can offload work from intermediate servers by deploying customizable microservices in the network. Fewer server hops mean significantly reduced endpoint-to-endpoint latency, reduced server cost, and easier development.
Maximum flexibility—Developers can choose from a catalog of pre-existing BLOCKS or build their own from scratch, providing infinite flexibility for how they manage their data streams within the PubNub network.
Reduced time to market—BLOCKS speak JavaScript and SQL so developers can customize and build microservices in languages they already know.
Global Scalability—PubNub BLOCKS is instantly replicated to 15 global points of presence, ensuring that stream logic happens at the point closest to any device’s location.
“Building realtime apps shouldn’t be anywhere near as difficult as it is today, which is why BLOCKS are a developer’s dream come true,” said Stephen Blum, CTO of PubNub. “They give engineers who are trying to solve difficult yet common problems an easy way to ship their features quickly while reducing their overall costs.”
PubNub BLOCKS early access will be available in January 2016. To request early access to PubNub BLOCKS, please visithttps://www.pubnub.com/blocks.

Promote Builders today announced an online matchmaking service for independent software developers with new products. The service connects them with marketing professionals willing to promote the product in exchange for company equity or a percentage of gross product sales for a fixed period of time.
The service is free for both software developers and marketers. After contact is made and the parties agree to terms for working together, Promote Builders recommends they formalize the relationship with a written contract. Examples are provided on the website.
Promote Builders accepts professional programmers and hobbyists. Many programmers work on pet projects in their spare time. Often, these software products sit on the shelf because the developer doesn’t want to or doesn’t know how to market the software. Promote Builders was designed to eliminate this obstacle.
“Prime Time is my educational math game,” said game designer Ben Shirley. “It help kids in the 3rd through 9th grade have fun as they learn math. Teachers and parents approve of the game. Students would even come to class early to play. Unfortunately, sales failed to materialize. Although I’d programmed since age 8, marketing was still a black box. The frustration of watching a good product die on the vine was the spark needed to create Promote Builders.”
Software Developers register for the site in the Builder role, which allows them to post their product in the Active Products list. Marketers register in the Promoter role and after reviewing Active Products, contact the Builder of the product they wish to market. Future enhancements to the site include automating contract creation, providing project management services, and granting access to a Kickstarter-like funding app designed for software product campaigns.

Case Study Examines Why Paragon Software Systems Chose Flare for Single-Source Publishing of Online Help and Product Manuals Supporting Users’ Different Product Configurations
La Jolla, CA, USA — October 8, 2015 — MadCap Software, Inc., the leader in multi-channel content authoring and a showcase company for Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Visual Studio, today announced that it has published a new case study on Paragon Software Systems, a leading global provider of software for daily route scheduling and optimization, strategic transport planning, and real-time fleet management. Paragon replaced its existing solution with MadCap Flare for single-source, multi-channel publishing of modern online Help and print documentation. The case study can be viewed at: http://www.madcapsoftware.com/casestudy/paragonsoftwaresystems.aspx
On September 30, 2015, the Paragon System Operation Guide, which was created with MadCap Flare, won “Best Use of Video, Interaction and Multi-Media” at the Institute of Scientific and Technical Communicators (ISTC) annual awards. The content takes advantage of MadCap Flare’s topic-based, single-source, and multi-media capabilities, and it is written in a logical structure, with each user guide aimed at a different category of user, complete with visually appealing, yet comprehensive information. Among the features: short videos with simple examples sit alongside the text; interactive “Quick Steps” offer a visual popup tool to help users navigate; interactive diagrams allow users to intuitively move between topics, and expanding images show additional detail while offering more in-depth descriptions in text.
Same Content, Multiple Print and Online Outputs
For more than three decades, Paragon Software Systems has been committed to helping customers improve their transport efficiency and raise service levels in their delivery operations. Today the company operates on a global scale with more than 3,300 systems at over 1,000 client sites supporting a range of applications from clotted cream deliveries to national retailers and global logistics operators.
Helping Paragon’s diverse customers to model, plan and monitor efficient routes requires a highly configurable software system. The company’s software employs hundreds of parameters to facilitate customization. Because this can drastically affect the way the system looks and works for different companies, Paragon’s documentation needs to be equally flexible.
For years, Paragon relied on two products to deliver its online Help and print documentation. However, in the wake of substantial growth, Paragon realized the need for a more efficient approach to delivering content. An evaluation of several tools on the market, led the company to MadCap Flare. The key benefits Paragon has realized include:
* Flare’s topic-based single-source publishing facilitates content reuse across Paragon’s online Help and four printed manuals.
* Conditional tags, tables of contents, and worded cross-references in Flare enable Paragon to customize multiple print and online outputs with minimal effort.
* Defined styles using Flare make it easy to create visual signposts for information, tips, warnings, licensed options, and instruction sets, so readers can quickly find the content they need.
* Flare’s functionality for drop-down text in online Help lets readers quickly scan topics, select the one of interest, and then expand images or text to read it.
* Together, navigation links and conditional tags in Flare can be used to automatically translate hypertext links in online content into worded cross-references for print, such as “See Getting Started on page 48.”
* HTML5 output and features, such as frameless top navigation, are enabling Paragon to deliver new versions of online Help that more closely resemble the look and feel of its graphical user interface.
"We like the fact that MadCap offers a purpose-written solution at the forefront of the industry, orchestrated by dedicated professionals that are as passionate as we are about high quality documentation. Using MadCap Flare, we were able to produce much more attractive content within weeks,” said Gary Appleton, Paragon Software Systems technical author.”
“Serving a diverse range of businesses worldwide with its state-of-the-art software for optimizing, planning and monitoring efficient routes, Paragon understands first-hand the need to have accurate and readily available information,” said Anthony Olivier, MadCap founder and CEO. “We are thrilled to congratulate Paragon on earning this highly regarded award from ISTC and are excited for the company’s success in using MadCap Flare to create intuitive and easy-to-navigate online Help and print documentation—all from the same core content.”
