Fremont, CA (PRWEB) July 3, 2006

SchmartBoard, the developer of a new technology that has significantly simplified the creation of electronic circuits for hobbyists, education and industry, has announced that it has signed German distributor ELV Elektronik AG to supply Germany with the full line of RoHS compliant SchmartBoard products.

Most people who design electronic circuits do not have the skills to hand-solder surface mount components. SchmartBoard|ez was developed as a solution for this problem. What once could only be achieved by technicians with many hours of experience, can now be done by anyone. A ten year old who has never held a soldering iron, can now hand solder a .4mm IC or a BGA (Ball Grid Array) effortlessly and flawlessly.

According to Neal Greenberg, SchmartBoard’s VP Sales and Marketing, “We have received numerous e-mails from people in Germany who have want access to SchmartBoard’s technology. We are happy to finally find a partner to make Schmartboard available to people in Germany and support industry, academia, and individual hobbyists there.”

Ralph Landwehr, Head of Product Management at ELV, says “SchmartBoard is a perfect solution for our professionals and hobbyists who are used to working with a soldering iron. Now they can take the advantage of using the newest solutions in ICs that often are only available in SMD – type housings”.

SchmartBoards are used by industry professionals to prototype circuits, universities for R&D and as teaching tools, and by individual hobbyists involved in electronics, robotics, ham radio and other areas.

About SchmartBOARD (http://www.schmartboard.com)

SchmartBOARDTM is committed to helping engineers, students and hobbyists develop electronic circuits faster, easier, and less expensively than previously possible. Schmartboard’s patent pending Electronic Circuit Building Blocks makes this possible. More information about Schmartboard can be found at http://www.schmartboard.com

About ELV Elektronik AG (http://www.elv.de)

ELV is one of the biggest mail-order companies for every type of electronic part in Germany and Europe. The 700 page main catalogue, with a circulation of more than 500.000 pieces per year, is standard literature for technical enthusiast consumers.”

Many people communicate globally and often need a world clock utility to determine the right time for telephone calls or instant messaging. But which world clock is right for you?

WR Consulting, a company that develops enterprise productivity tools, has released ZoneTick v3.1 — a convenient world clock for Windows that can show multiple time zones either in Windows taskbar or on desktop.

The program is very useful when communicating with people in other parts of the globe: such as your friends in other countries, your colleagues in remote offices or in the field, or the home-crowd while you are traveling. This is because ZoneTick displays the times for any amount of different time zones and also allows you to synchronize your clocks with accurate online time-servers.

ZoneTick v3.1 comes pre-translated in 6 languages: English, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. You can also translate or improve translation of ZoneTick into your language using free WR Localization Service.

Nik Okuntseff, CEO of WR Consulting, said, “We are very pleased with quality and multi-language support in this release. This makes ZoneTick stand out of the competition. We are giving away control over translations to users of the product. Anyone can improve an existing translation or provide a new one using our localization service, which will soon become available to others vendors.”

But ZoneTick is not just an enterprise executive productivity tool. People from many walks of life may find it handy. For example, forex traders, ham radio users, pilots, international students on exchanges, the navy and military, or just about everyone with need to keep in touch with someone in another time zone.

ZoneTick uses digital and analog graphical skins that gives you the ability to customize your ZoneTick to fit any desktop style. Quality and maximum size of skins have been significantly increased in the new version.

ZoneTick comes with a system of alarms. You can create any amount of alarms, which will play a sound, display a message, launch an application, or open a web-page at the time of your choosing.

ZoneTick’s success is due primarily to its manageability and diversity as an award-winning Windows utility. On top of a highly usable shareware, ZoneTick is also available as a very affordable personal or enterprise productivity tool.

Whether you travel from time zone to time zone, have international friends, or are simply on the lookout for high-quality shareware, ZoneTick is the world clock for you!
