SUNNYVALE, Calif. and MIAMI, April 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Building on a commitment to cultivate a highly-trained workforce that will drive the innovative solutions of tomorrow, Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) and Florida International University (FIU) are collaborating to establish a state-of-the-art Technology Lab in FIU’s Moss School of Construction, Infrastructure and Sustainability.

The aim is to expand the university’s leadership and excellence in training and research in the realms of engineering, construction and the sustainable built environment.

The Trimble Technology Lab will provide students enrolled in the school, which is housed in FIU’s College of Engineering and Computing (CEC), hands-on experience with a wide breadth of Trimble solutions. The lab will expand the university’s access and expertise in project management, estimating, architectural modeling and design, structural analysis and design, Mechanical Electrical Plumbing (MEP) design, mixed reality and office-to-field solutions. The collaboration facilitates the integration of innovative technology into the school’s curricula and research endeavors, empowering future graduates to transform how buildings and living environments are designed and constructed around the world.

“We are thrilled to partner with FIU, the first predominately Hispanic Serving Institution to join the Trimble Technology Lab program in the U.S.,” said Allyson McDuffie, director of Education & Outreach at Trimble. “Trimble’s education and outreach programs aim to support the next generation of construction professionals by ensuring key education institutions have access to Trimble’s portfolio of construction industry solutions throughout their education, creating a new workforce that’s truly equipped and empowered to ‘Transform the Way the World Works.'”

“Our college is excited about this amazing collaboration with Trimble. In establishing this new lab, Trimble is helping our college ensure that our current and future students have access to the latest computer software and hardware in engineering and construction,” said John Volakis, dean of the FIU College of Engineering and Computing. “These assets will provide our students with the training needed to best prepare them to become future industry leaders. Our faculty and students are thrilled at the opportunity to work closely with a company of Trimble’s caliber, its technologies and experts.”

The Moss Department of Construction Management is the second-highest ranked program in Florida, ninth in the South and 34^th in the U.S. among public universities. It offers two main degree programs – a bachelor’s in construction management and a master’s in construction management. The master’s program features a fully online option as well as the traditional in-classroom alternative.

“Our new Trimble Technology Lab provides our students with innovative technologies that allow them to create 3D building models and better understand how cost and project timelines are impacted when sequences related to materials and equipment are modified,” said Jose Faria, endowed chair of FIU’s Moss Department of Construction Management. “At FIU, we are also committed to construction safety, and Trimble offers us a combination of augmented reality with site monitoring technologies that help our students better minimize and understand hazards. The combination of superior curriculum, industry practice and innovative technologies is what will help us cultivate graduates that will become industry leaders.”

The lab will include a broad range of Trimble’s industry-leading technologies such as the Trimble^® XR10 HoloLens with hardhat, Trimble SiteVision^™ AR system, robotic total stations and field tablets. Advanced software solutions include RealWorks^® scanning software, Trimble Business Center, Tekla^® Structures, Tekla Model Sharing, Tekla Structural Design Suite, Trimble Connect, ProjectSight, TruEst, WinEst, SysQue, Vico Office Suite and the company’s popular 3D modeling software, SketchUp Pro.

Trimble’s broad Connected Construction portfolio enables all professionals along the project lifecycle to accelerate project processes—improving productivity, quality, transparency, safety and sustainability, while reducing waste.

BlackLine AR Intelligence optimizes working capital by boosting
payment predictabilityand improving collections forecasting

LOS ANGELES and LONDON, April 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Accounting automation software leader BlackLine, Inc. (Nasdaq: BL) has unveiled BlackLine AR Intelligence, the latest offering in its portfolio of accounts receivable (AR) automation solutions designed to complement and enhance its broader financial operations management platform.  BlackLine AR Intelligence enables customers to manage financial risks and opportunities by providing access to real-time, actionable data to help them understand their customers’ financial behaviors and use the information to impact strategic and operational decision-making.

Managing debtors and the overall assessment of customer payment behaviors has never been as critical as it is in today’s economic climate.  Businesses need to make decisions based on accurate, real-time intelligence.  BlackLine AR Intelligence takes the strategic value of BlackLine’s AI-powered Cash Application solution to the next level by harnessing real-time data and combining it with powerful analytics to improve critical decision-making across the enterprise. 

“Now more than ever, business resilience and cash management is top of the agenda.  BlackLine AR Intelligence provides our customers with a deep understanding of the financial risks and opportunities within their customer bases, unlocking data either previously not available to them or that took days and weeks to generate manually,” said Kevin Kimber, managing director of BlackLine’s global accounts receivables business unit.  “BlackLine AR Intelligence delivers real-time credit, debt and sales insights that benefit not only the Accounts Receivable, Credit Management and Order-to-Cash departments, but other senior stakeholders such as the CFO, Office of the Controller, Treasury and even the CRO/Sales team, enabling companies to reduce risk, improve forecasting, optimize working capital and grow revenues by analyzing precise customer payment and credit behaviors.”

More than $187 billion of payments were applied through BlackLine Cash Application in 2020.  By adding BlackLine AR Intelligence, customers gain critical business insights to manage risk, cash flow and collections, as well as real-time analysis and reports.  Pre-configured, interactive dashboards display key information such as:

• Customer Behavior Insights: Sales and payment performance data, such as invoiced sales by month and cash by month, and the correlation/variance between the two.
• Payment Terms v. Cash Collected: Ability to track and measure payment terms, outstanding balances, cash collected and debt positions across the customer base and see how customers actually pay against those terms.
• Payment Forecasting: Ability to forecast weekly collections and measure accuracy by using real-time customer payment behavior.
• Sales Ledger Analysis: An analysis of the relationship between volume of customers and value of debt outstanding, e.g. debt by value, count of invoices by value, count of customers by value.
• Bank Utilization: Ability to see customer accounts linked by the same bank details or sales ledger accounts linked by payee details to see how customers are paying and for which accounts, leading to a better understanding of overall exposure/risk.
• Days Sales Outstanding (DSO): Automated calculations around the time it takes to collect payment, such as cash collected last month, customers by balance, customers with the most debt and debtor day value by month.

“BlackLine AR Intelligence is a natural complement to our Cash Application solution, delivering on our  vision to be the most indispensable platform for the controller,” added Mr. Kimber.  “Coupled with the ability to link everything back to our market-leading financial close platform for currency adjustments, intercompany cash, bad debt reserves and suspense accounts, we are redefining the way AR work gets done and unlocking new strategic value for our customers.”

Here’s what customers are saying about their experience using BlackLine AR Intelligence:

• “A strategic review and a dynamic approach to collections. Have not seen any other solution to get to this level of data.”
• “Enhances operational performance to see problems which would normally be overlooked because we don’t have the data.”
• “Very powerful and easy to use; of great value to us, particularly from a management perspective.”
• “Love the fact that we evaluate what is happening across our customer base in depth and quickly.”
• “The real power is having all of the data at my fingertips rather than spending hours creating reports.”

Following the Oct. 2^nd, 2020 announcement of its acquisition of Rimilia, BlackLine is actively expanding its capabilities in the AR automation space.  BlackLine AR Intelligence is designed to be used alongside BlackLine Cash Application and is one of several AR automation offerings to come.  To learn more, register for the upcoming Modern Accounting Summits and attend a series of sessions dedicated to AR automation, Cash Application and AR Intelligence.

TSX.V: CHIP.H
OTCPK: FNNGF

CALGARY, March 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Health Logic Interactive Inc. (“Health Logic” or the “Company“) (TSXV: CHIP.H) (OTCPK: FNNGF), is pleased to announce its wholly owned operating subsidiary, My Health LogicInc. (“My Health Logic“), has entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement“) with an arm’s length third party (the “Licensor“) pursuant to which My Health Logic has a worldwide, exclusive license to the UAL-Chip, a patent pending lab-on-chip (“LOC“) technology that has the potential to be used in a smartphone connected, hand-held device to provide rapid point-of-care (“POC“) diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease (“CKD“).

CKD is a life-changing chronic condition that is harmful for patients and extremely expensive to treat unless caught early. Over 850 million people globally and 37 million people in the United States have CKD, and total healthcare costs for treatment of CKD in the US exceed $120B per year. The key to preventing the major harms from CKD, such as kidney failure, kidney dialysis, and death, is early testing and treatment; however, approximately 90% of those afflicted by CKD do not realize they have it. We believe that providing patients and caregivers a low-cost, accessible tool for early diagnosis and treatment is an opportunity to help millions of at-risk patients and start to bend the cost curve for health systems worldwide. 

UAL-Chip technology has the potential to drive a much-needed disruption of the legacy systems used for CKD testing and accelerate the trend towards automation, digitization and personalization in the healthcare industry. The UAL-Chip can utilize microfluidic technology to test for the albumin levels in urine and deliver rapid results to a users’ smartphone and their healthcare practitioner. Currently, <50% of at-risk patients are tested; we expect that introducing digitally connected home testing solutions would increase this number by removing one of the current barriers to testing, being attendance at a central lab, and would also provide My Health Logic with the opportunity to develop a robust platform for continuous digital patient monitoring and care for CKD of all stages.

“CKD is common, costly and harmful for patients and communities. It is also under-recognized. Bringing the CKD diagnosis into the home is a disruptive approach that could bridge the screening gap for millions of patients, allowing early detection and treatment, preventing harms for millions, and reducing health costs by billions” – Dr. Claudio Rigatto, Co-Inventor, Seven Oaks General Hospital

“Our lab-on-chip platform can give accurate results rivalling central laboratories in precision but in an accessible, low cost and rapid form usable in the home, fulfilling the dream of true point-of-care diagnosis and personalized medicine.” – Dr. Francis Lin, Lead Inventor

Highlights of the Market:

• CKD is the 8^th leading cause of death in the US.
• Estimated that 15% of all people in the US are at risk of CKD yet 90% are unaware they have the disease.
• Medicare spent $120 billion on all CKD related costs in 2017.
• End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) caused by CKD led to $36 billion in Medicare-related costs in 2017.
• o ESRD includes kidney failure, dialysis, and transplant.
• American Kidney Health Initiatives passed in 2019.
• The global POC market has been growing at a CAGR of 10.2% and the global digital remote health market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 27.9% through to 2026.
• Sources: www.kidney.org, www.uofmhealth.com, www.grandviewresearch.com, www.businesswire.com

Highlights of the Technology:

• Proof of concept trial complete in clinical setting showing successful results.
• Patent pending technology with USTPO Patent number.
• The UAL-Chip is being built so that results will connect to a users’ phone and provide feedback in less than 5 minutes. The plan is to collect the data through My Health Logic’s MATLOC device, a hand-held POC device currently in development, and store the data on the My Health Logic continued care platform.
• 510 (k) pre-market FDA submission plans – accelerated regulatory pathway.
• Planned development of urine ACR and blood eGFR (the two necessary tests needed for accurate CKD assessment).
• First-movers advantage – there are currently no available hand-held, POC diagnostics on the market that quantitatively measure both ACR and eGFR.
• Co-founders and inventors of the technology plan to join My Health Logic in key leadership positions and continue to advance development, including:
• Dr. Francis Lin
• Dr. Claudio Rigatto
• Dr. Paul Komenda

LOS ANGELES, April 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The DoubleLine Opportunistic Credit Fund (the “Fund”), which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol DBL, this week declared a distribution of $0.11 per share for the month of April 2021. The distribution is subject to the following ex-dividend, record and payment dates set by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

This news release is not for tax reporting purposes. The release has been issued to announce the amount and timing of the distributions declared by the Board of Trustees. There is a possibility that distributions may include ordinary income, long-term capital gains or return of capital. The amount of distributable income and the tax characteristics of the distributions are determined at the end of the taxable year. In early 2022, the Fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV specifying how the distributions paid by the Fund during the prior calendar year should be characterized for purposes of reporting the distributions on a shareholder’s tax return.

About DoubleLine
Opportunistic Credit Fund

The DoubleLine Opportunistic Credit Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek high total investment return by providing a high level of current income and the potential for capital appreciation. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Investing in the Fund involves the risk of principal loss.

About DoubleLine Capital LP

DoubleLine Capital is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. DoubleLine’s offices can be reached by telephone at (213) 633-8200 or by e-mail at [email protected].

To read about the DoubleLine Opportunistic Credit Fund, please access the Annual Report at www.doublelinefunds.com or call 877-DLINE11 (877-354-6311) to receive a copy. Investors should consider the Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. An investment in the Fund should not constitute a complete investment program.

This document is not an offer to sell securities or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor shall there be any sale or offer of these securities, in any jurisdiction where such sale or offer is not permitted.

Fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value, which may increase investors’ risk of loss. This risk may be greater for investors expecting to sell their shares in a relatively short period after the completion of the public offering. There are risks associated with investment in the fund.

Investments in debt securities typically decline in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of including credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The fund may invest in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets. Investments in lower rated and non-rated securities present a great risk of loss to principal and interest than higher rated securities. Investment strategies may not achieve the desired results due to implementation lag, other timing factors, portfolio management decisions-making, economic or market conditions or other unanticipated factors. In addition, the Fund may invest in other asset classes and investments such as, among others, REITs, credit default swaps, short sales, derivatives and smaller companies which include additional risks.
The DoubleLine Opportunistic Credit Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company.

Final determination of a distribution’s tax character will be made on Form 1099 DIV and sent to shareholders.
