MALVERN, Pa., Dec. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced that its RAMK060 rotational absolute magnetic kit encoder has been recognized by industry magazine Elecfans with a 2020 China IoT Innovation Award in the “Sensor Technology” category.

Now in its fifth year, the China IoT Innovation Awards recognize products and technologies introduced over the past year that have delivered a far-reaching impact on the IoT industry. Finalists are determined by online voting, with Elecfans editors and industry experts voting to select the winners. This year Vishay’s RAMK060 high precision position sensor was recognized for offering designers more robust performance than existing absolute encoders and better resolution and accuracy than traditional Hall effect sensors.

The 60 mm RAMK060 uses advanced contactless technology to achieve > 13-bit accuracy, 19-bit resolution, and > 16-bit repeatability while maintaining robustness against external magnetic fields, moisture, airborne pollution, vibration, mechanical shock, and changes in temperature. This technology architecture provides the best performance with safety guarantees. The device’s rotor + stator kit design, as well as its off-axis design (for hollow shaft mounting), slim ~6.5 mm profile, and light weight (< 55 g) make it ideal for applications where little space is available but an angular position needs to be detected with high accuracy.

The rotational absolute magnetic kit encoder’s patented design is particularly suited for applications calling for precise and repetitive motion such as arm joints for industrial robots and collaborative robots; steering wheels for automated guided vehicles; and machine tools used in printing, textile manufacturing, and milling. The key advantages of the RAMK060 in these applications include self-calibration to compensate for mechanical misalignment; built-in self-monitoring; and memorization of the last absolute position before power-off.

Award winners were announced at an awards ceremony on Dec. 4 in Shenzhen following the fifth annual China IoT Conference, hosted by Elecfans. A complete list of winners can be found at www.elecfans.com/iot/1407251.html.

Richmond, Va., Dec. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CarMax, Inc. (NYSE: KMX), the nation’s largest retailer of used cars, today announced a new partnership with the NBA, WNBA and Turner Sports. As part of the multiyear agreement, CarMax is now the official auto retailer of the NBA and WNBA – the first automotive retail partnership in WNBA history – as well as the presenting partner of NBA Tip-Off on TNT. 

CarMax’s inaugural season as an NBA partner will premiere on Tuesday, December 22, with TNT’s NBA Tip-Off presented by CarMax — featuring the Emmy^®-Award winning studio team of host Ernie Johnson and analysts Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, two-time NBA champion Kenny Smith, and four-time NBA champion Shaquille O’Neal — followed by a doubleheader on TNT starting at 7 p.m. ET to tip off the 2020-21 NBA season.  CarMax will also see in-game exposure across TNT’s 66-game NBA regular-season broadcasts, and on NBA TV broadcasts and digital platforms, as well as on TNT’s NBA Playoff games, which culminate with the network’s exclusive presentation of the 2021 NBA Eastern Conference Finals.

The league partnership expands upon CarMax’s long-standing history of NBA team relationships, including the designation of official auto retailer sponsor of the LA Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers and Golden State Warriors.  

“CarMax has had strong partnerships with local teams in the NBA ecosystem for more than a decade and we are excited to expand our relationship and brand awareness at the league level,” said Jim Lyski, Executive Vice President and CMO at CarMax. “The NBA, WNBA and CarMax are all innovative brands dedicated to delivering an exceptional experience for fans and customers. Like CarMax, the NBA and WNBA are passionate about giving back to our local communities and we look forward to continuing to make an impact together in the years to come.”

“CarMax has been woven into the fabric of the NBA for many years through successful relationships with NBA teams,” said Dan Rossomondo, NBA Senior Vice President, Media and Business Development.  “We’re looking forward to collaborating with CarMax on a larger scale moving forward and creating unique opportunities for engagement with fans of both the NBA and WNBA.”

In CarMax’s upcoming “Call Your Shot” campaign, the company is debuting partnerships with four-time WNBA champion Sue Bird and three-time NBA champion Stephen Curry, as well as bringing back two-time AT&T NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion Zach LaVine, and newly acquired Golden State Warrior Kelly Oubre, Jr., for the second year of the content series. The “Call Your Shot” campaign highlights the parallels of players’ on-court confidence with the confidence CarMax instills in its customers. Award-winning journalist Adrian Wojnarowski is also featured in the series.

In addition to CarMax’s NBA, WNBA, TNT, and talent partnerships, The CarMax Foundation is also partnering with Stephen and Ayesha Curry’s co-founded Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation, KABOOM!, and the Oakland Unified School District to build a new schoolyard at Franklin Elementary School in Oakland, California. Students at Franklin Elementary will have the opportunity to provide input for the design of the playspace, which will include a new playground, multi-sport court, and garden. The project is estimated to be completed in early 2021 and in anticipation for students’ return to in-person learning. The isolation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates in dramatic effect how valuable playspaces are for children and this project is an example of what’s possible when partners and communities come together to address the needs of kids, especially in times of crisis.

DALLAS, Dec. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Total new home sales in Texas were strong statewide, higher in all four of its major new home markets last month, according to a new report from HomesUSA.com. Dallas-Ft. Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio all saw fewer Days on Market for new homes sold in November, and for the first time this year, pending sales were lower, indicating tightening inventory.

The HomesUSA.com report is based on data from the North Texas Real Estate Information Systems, Houston Association of REALTORS, Austin Board of REALTORS Multiple Listing Services and San Antonio Board of REALTORS.

“Texas new home sales continue to impress,” said Ben Caballero, owner of HomesUSA.com and a current Guinness World Record title holder. “However, the rapid sales pace has caused inventory to decline and fewer pending sales and listings are occurring. Builders simply can’t build homes fast enough to meet the remarkable demand.”

For the last twelve months straight, the sales velocity of new homes improved with average Days on Market (DOM) dropping to 96.82 days in November from 99.22 days in October, based on the 12-month moving average. In January, the statewide DOM average was 107.04 days. “New homes DOM averages 60 days higher than resale because most are listed in MLS before construction is complete,” he added.

New home sales in November were higher statewide and in the state’s biggest new home markets including Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio. According to the 12-month moving average, Texas new home sales in November were 4,434 versus 4,380 in October.

HomesUSA.com notes that pending sales and active listings both showed the continued tightening of inventory. The 12-month average of pending sales declined in November to 5,185 versus 5,424 in October. Active new home listings were down statewide in November to 18,345 versus 18,824 in October.

The average new home price statewide in November rose to $358,050 versus $356,833 in October. New home prices last month were higher in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Austin and San Antonio. Houston reported a marginally lower average home price for November.

Caballero is sharing this new homes report in advance of the release by the Commerce Department of its nationwide New Residential Sales report for November set for Wednesday, December 23, at 10:00 am Eastern.

EDMONTON, Alberta, Dec. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On Tuesday, December 15, Servus was honoured to receive the Government of Alberta’s Minister’s Seniors Services Award in the business category.

Since 1998, the Awards have celebrated individuals and organizations who support seniors, lead the way for improved services and contribute to strong communities. In 2020, the Awards featured new categories to recognize those who demonstrated leadership and compassion in serving Alberta seniors during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Servus earned this award for the senior-specific outreach program they conducted throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As we made plans to help our members, we knew our senior members were going to be significantly impacted,” explained Dion Linke, Chief Operating Officer for Servus. “These are individuals who were considered to be at highest risk from the virus, but who also tend to come into our branches to complete their day-to-day banking needs.”

To mitigate these impacts, Servus launched their COVID-19 Seniors Call Program, in which a dedicated group of Servus employees called senior members who had time-sensitive banking coming up that might normally prompt them to visit a branch. Through the program, Servus was able to help nearly 4,000 senior members from April until early July.

“Once we started this program, we quickly discovered that it was about way more than just helping seniors with their banking,” said Mr. Linke. “Human interaction to help ease the feelings of isolation and simply manage the challenges the pandemic brought on for them was something our team found to be a really important part of their work.”

In addition to supporting senior members with their banking needs, here are a few examples of what Servus employees did to help seniors:

• Arranging delivery for food, postage stamps, and cheques.
• Scheduling follow-up phone ‘coffee dates’ with members who were having a difficult time with isolation.
• Initiating monthly follow-up calls to help certain members pay bills because they weren’t comfortable coming into a branch or using online banking.
• Waiving e-transfer fees to help members better manage their money online.
• Branches making donations to local grocery delivery programs for seniors.

“In the middle of a pandemic, Servus Credit Union made it their mission to keep seniors safe, connected and supported,” said Josephine Pon, Minister of Seniors and Housing. “Servus had a profound impact by making a simple yet critical change to their business model that put seniors first during this difficult time. My deepest congratulations to everyone who was involved in this meaningful program.”
