To further penetrate one of the world’s most important software markets, McObject announced it has signed SySoft, a Moscow-based development expert and current McObject Solution Provider, as distributor of its eXtremeDB in-memory embedded database and related technology in Russia and Russian Federation countries. McObject has also launched a new Russian language Web site at www.mcobject.ru.

(PRWEB) May 4, 2005 — Since 2004, SySoft has provided development and training services for eXtremeDB licensees. Among other projects, SySoft recently added Unicode support into eXtremeDB for a major Japanese consumer electronics company, enabling the customer to meet its aggressive development schedule for a new eXtremeDB-based personal MP3 player.

In addition to McObject projects, SySoft has built a successful embedded systems consultancy, providing board support package (BSP) development, software porting and customization, hardware modeling and prototyping, firmware development and other services to a client roster that includes major European and Silicon Valley technology companies.

Under the new agreement with McObject, SySoft adds marketing and sales of McObject software to its Solution Provider responsibilities, becoming McObject’s key business partner in Russian-speaking lands.

“SySoft has distinguished itself as a Solution Provider in the past year, and has proven itself adept at capitalizing on the growing embedded systems development market that is emerging in Russian Federation countries,” Steve Graves, McObject CEO and co-founder, said.

“Clearly, SySoft’s high level of technical expertise, track record of completed projects, and demonstrated business acumen auger well for its new role as McObject distributor, and we have high hopes for this relationship,” Graves said

About McObject

Airbus is trying to design an aircraft to compete with Boeing’s new 787 Dreamliner. The Boeing Company’s 787 Dreamliners is a bleeding edge bird born of pure-efficiency; made and constructed in lightweight, high-tech composite materials. The Airbus’s version, a copycat plane only has wings of composite. Meaning it will weigh more and be less able to maintain any close resemblance of efficiency of the state-of-the-art Dreamliner, which has already sold nearly 300 in pre-orders.

We must help Airbus compete, otherwise they will fall further behind in utter disgrace. I propose we use the vibrational energy of the noisy and bumpy copycat Airbus bird to light up the landing lights and interior lights to help it become more efficient. By using the vibrational energy of the plane, air buffeting and jet engines it can be done, as that aircraft is sure to be quite a bumpy ride indeed. How so you ask?

By placing large 4’ X 8’ sandwich sheets molded to the interior of the plane with a taunt film on the vibrational side and small copper lined tubes; hundreds of these tubes running perpendicular to the sheets, with magnets inside bouncing back and forth. These magnets will charge a capacitor and be hooked up to an LED lighting system using fiber optics or reflectors, each one hooked up to a .2 to .5 watt light. With hundreds of thousands of lights hooked up in a composite format it will light up the plane without the light pollution associated with interior airline lights that adversely effect airline passenger comfort.

E-mail — the main stop on the information superhighway — can be a blessing or a curse.

It was a curse to Harry Stonecipher, Boeing CEO, who was ousted when a female employee revealed through e-mail an illicit affair. It was a curse to Goldman Sachs when the company paid $2 million to settle federal regulators’ charges for improperly offering securities through e-mail. And it was a curse to Enron when sensitive e-mails ended up in court as part of a congressional investigation.

According to Jean D. Sifleet, business attorney and author of three books, “Many companies think that having an e-mail policy is enough to protect them from legal exposure. That’s just not realistic. Employees use e-mail for all sorts of activities, and they need to be trained about what’s okay and what’s not okay.”

Boeing announced it is now offering a 777 Airliner in a Cargo Configuration. This will make it the largest twin-engine cargo plane in the world. Since the Boeing 777 is has one of the best fuel efficiency ratings and range it makes it an ideal aircraft for air-cargo companies. The 777 Freighter is capable of flying 4,965 miles at full payload. The 777 maximum takeoff weight is 766,000 lbs. and can carry 229,000 pounds of cargo. These are incredible stats and it insures Boeing many more orders to come. Boeings future in commercial aviation will be largely a matter of air cargo demands in the years to come.

Murica airport is an air base and civilian airport. The airport is not located in the city of Murica. It is located in San Javier, which is seventeen miles south of the city of Murica. The airport is operated by the Spanish airport authority. The runways are able to handle a variety of planes. The largest planes it can handle are Boeing 757 or 767 airplanes.
