Memorex Electronics Npower Gamestop

My daughter got this tiny media player as a Christmas present from one of my friends. It is a nice media player considered that it can play music, video and games with 1GB capacity on its price range (listed price $99 but Amazon.com is selling it for $21). And it has SpongeBob cartoon icon everywhere which kids like it from TV already. But of course, it is not perfect at least for me I could not connect it to my DELL computer at the first. Finally I got this issue resolved (will update later), and happy to recommend this device to you especially you have kids in house.

18 thoughts on “ SpongeBob SquarePants: Npower Fusion™ 1GB Digital Media Player Review and MTP device driver issue resolved” • R Goehring Hi, I just purchased the Spongebob NPower NMP4075 for my son and cannot get it to connect to my Dell computer and can’t find a driver on the Memorex website. I see that you had the same problem. Can you tell me what you did to get it to connect? Thanks, Rodney [] replied on March 4th, 2010: @R Goehring, Yes, I had the same problem with one of my computer (DELL desktop).

What I did was to re-install the Windows Media Player 11. Hope it will be helpful to you. ↓ • trouble with the device, try to load a song but it keep asking me to “free up 10MB space(internal space?)or refresh the device” after a refreshes then when try to play the songs it just froze and cant even turn off can someone help me?

[] Tuhd replied on August 23rd, 2011: @Paul Wattana, No warranty, standard disclaimers apply, not responsible for damages, nothing etc. I see you ran into this problem just over a year ago. I used a Mac and the Disk Utility to perform these steps (as I just ran into the issue): 1. Create a new directory on your desktop.

Copy into that directory all of the files from the device/drive that shows up as “Fusion” when you plug the MP3 player in. Select the Fusion partition in the Disk Utility 3. Go to the erase tab at the top. Make sure MS-DOS (FAT) is selected 5. Copy all of those files back. Eject the device.

It worked like a charm for me. Repeatedly pressing the ‘reset’ button didn’t work. [] Tuhd replied on August 23rd, 2011: @Tuhd, Again, standard disclaimer: not responsible for anything.

When I say “Copy all of the files”, it’s mostly (if not all) directories / folders. Copy everything to the directory, then copy everything back after you’ve erased the device in Disk Utility.

Merrimac Reports Second Quarter 2008 ResultsIncome from Continuing Operations For Second Quarter and First Six Months of 2008New Orders and $20 Million Backlog Continue Strong WEST CALDWELL, N.J., Aug.

18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Merrimac Industries, Inc., a leader in the design and manufacture of RF Microwave components, subsystem assemblies and micro-multifunction modules (MMFM(R)), today announced results for the second quarter and first six months of 2008. Previously reported results of operations of Filtran Microcircuits Inc. ('FMI') for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 have been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations. Net sales from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2008 were $7,524,000, an increase of $2,153,000 or 40.1 percent compared to the second quarter of 2007 net sales of $5,371,000. Net sales from continuing operations increased due to the higher level of orders received during the prior year, with its resultant larger backlog that continued during 2008, including higher sales of Core and Multi-Mix(R) products to the defense industry-related customers the Company serves, as well as a continuation of the favorable trend in orders received during the current year that positively impacted backlog during 2008. Gross profit from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2008 was $3,215,000, an increase of $848,000 or 35.8 percent, and was 42.7 percent of sales as compared to gross profit of $2,367,000 or 44.1 percent of sales for the second quarter of 2007.

The increase in gross profit from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2008 was due to the impact of the higher level of net sales, which improved absorption of fixed manufacturing costs and lowered the percentage of operating costs to sales due to the increased sales. The decrease of 1.4 percentage points in gross profit percentage in the second quarter of 2008 was primarily due to $600,000 of revenue recognized from a large contract with no gross profit. Operating income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2008 was $487,000, compared to operating income from continuing operations of $55,000 for the second quarter of 2007. The increase in operating income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2008 as compared to the second quarter of 2007 was due to the improved gross profit caused by the increase in net sales, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, from recent personnel hired to meet the demand of increased sales, and higher research and development costs. Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2008 was $439,000 compared to income from continuing operations of $50,000 for the second quarter of 2007. Income per share from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2008 was $.15 compared to income from continuing operations of $.02 per share for the second quarter of 2007.

Loss from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2008 was $(55,000) compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $(3,519,000) for the second quarter of 2007. Loss per share from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2008 was $(.02) compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $(1.21) per basic share and $(1.20) per diluted share for the second quarter of 2007. In the second quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a partial impairment charge of $2,630,000 to the FMI goodwill, and wrote down the net deferred tax asset of FMI by $506,000, for a total of $3,136,000 of non-cash charges. Net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $384,000 compared to a net loss of $(3,469,000) for the second quarter of 2007.

Net income per basic and diluted share was $.13 for the second quarter of 2008, compared to a net loss per basic share of $(1.19) and a net loss of $(1.18) per diluted share reported for the second quarter of 2007. Net sales from continuing operations for the first six months of 2008 were $13,282,000, an increase of $3,399,000 or 34.4 percent compared to net sales of $9,883,000 for the first six months of 2007. The increase in net sales for the first six months of 2008 is primarily due to the same reasons that benefited the second quarter of 2008 increase in net sales. Gross profit for the first six months of 2008 was $5,521,000, an increase of $1,457,000 or 35.9 percent, and was 41.6 percent of net sales as compared to gross profit of $4,064,000 or 41.1 percent of net sales for the first six months of 2007. The increase in gross profit and gross profit percentage for the first six months of 2008 was due to the higher sales level and the positive impact that this had on the Company from a higher level of absorption of its fixed manufacturing costs. Operating income from continuing operations for the first six months of 2008 was $176,000 compared to an operating loss from continuing operations for the first six months of 2007 of $(949,000).

The increase in operating income from continuing operations for the first six months of 2008 was due to higher gross profit from the increase in net sales, partially offset by higher sales commissions and increased selling, general and administrative expenses as compared to the first six months of 2007. Income from continuing operations for the first six months of 2008 was $66,000 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $(933,000) for the first six months of 2007.

Income from continuing operations per share for the first six months of 2008 was $.02 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $(.31) per share for the first six months of 2007. Loss from discontinued operations for the first six months of 2008 was $(55,000) compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $(3,800,000) for the first six months of 2007. Loss from discontinued operations per share for the first six months of 2008 was $(.02) compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $(1.27) per share for the first six months of 2007. Loss from discontinued operations for the first six months of 2007 includes a partial goodwill impairment charge of $2,630,000 and a charge of $506,000 to provide a full valuation allowance for a Canadian net deferred tax asset. Net income for the first six months of 2008 was $11,000 compared to a net loss of $(4,733,000) for the first six months of 2007. Net income per share for the first six months of 2008 was nil compared to a net loss of $(1.58) per share for the first six months of 2007. Orders of $7,238,000 were received during the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of $1,531,000 or 17.5 percent compared to $8,769,000 in orders received during the second quarter of 2007.

Orders of $15,393,000 were received during the first six months of 2008, an increase of $655,000 or 4.4 percent compared to $14,738,000 in orders received during the first six months of 2007. Backlog increased by $2,111,000 or 11.7 percent to $20,102,000 at the end of the second quarter of 2008 compared to $17,991,000 at year-end 2007, due to the increased orders received during the first six months of 2008, including orders from defense industry-related customers that are scheduled for shipment later in 2008 and 2009. The book-to-bill ratio for the second quarter of 2008 was 0.96 to 1 and for the second quarter of 2007 was 1.63 to 1. The book-to-bill ratio for the first six months of 2008 was 1.16 to 1 and for the first six months of 2007 was 1.49 to 1. The orders, backlog and book-to-bill data exclude FMI information for 2007.

Chairman and CEO Mason N. Carter commented, 'We are pleased with all key operating indicators for the first six months of 2008 and the significant improvement over 2007. The second quarter of 2008 clearly reflected the improved order flow, backlog, product mix, operating performance, and burden absorption that we have been reporting to you. We continue to focus on robust and improving results from operations going forward. 'We are also seeing the trend towards adoption of Multi-Mix(R) technology by our key OEM customer base.

The technology 'mix' of products we have in our backlog today is also encouraging as we have seen growth over the last several quarters in all our product types, and a significant percentage increase for Multi-Mix(R).' Carter continued, 'Our military and space systems customers have brought new design projects to us that, upon successful completion, can translate into future production backlog.

On the commercial front, Merrimac has passed another milestone, by delivering our first 25 production units of our new WiMAX amplifier to a key OEM. 'On the technology development side, we have made significant progress in our characterization and implementation of bare die GaN transistors in Multi-Mix(R) amplifier applications, allowing for high power and linearity in a very small footprint. Additionally, development of certain design and manufacturing techniques in our Multi-Mix(R) passive product line has given us the ability to meet tighter and more difficult specifications than ever before in a mass production environment.' Carter added, 'Overall, I am encouraged by the results we are reporting today. We are extremely busy and there is much hard work ahead for us, but based on the results of the last few quarters, my confidence is high that Merrimac is positioned for more positive results. 'Our financial highlights include: -- Second quarter income from continuing operations of $439,000 or $.15 per share.

-- Orders booked for the second quarter of 2008 were $7.2 million. Orders booked were $15.4 million for the first six months of 2008. -- Continuing solid second quarter-end backlog of $20.1 million. -- Book-to-bill ratio of 1.16 to 1 for the first six months of 2008. -- Working capital of $10.7 million and current ratio of 3.5 to 1.'

18 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless announced today that it has expanded the national rollout of its high-speed wireless network to portions of Morrow, Knox and Crawford counties, including the neighboring towns of Galion, Centerburg and Marengo. 'Our high-speed wireless network gives our customers three key advantages in wireless communication -- speed, mobility and security,' said Roger Tang, president -- Ohio/Pennsylvania/West Virginia region, Verizon Wireless. 'With these advantages, business customers and mobile professionals can increase productivity and see bottom-line business benefits. In addition, our V CAST services, such as V CAST Music with Rhapsody, help keep customers entertained while on-the-go -- on the same devices they carry with them every day.'

BroadbandAccess The network expansion in these counties offers Verizon Wireless' business customers a truly mobile office experience with BroadbandAccess, giving them access to their calendars, the Internet, e-mail and critical business information residing behind their companies' firewalls. BroadbandAccess was developed with a range of users in mind, and it enables large enterprises, small- to medium-sized businesses and mobile professionals to conduct business anytime, anywhere in the BroadbandAccess coverage area via a secure, true high-speed data connection. Customers in wireless broadband coverage areas can expect average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps. That means they can download a 1 Megabyte e-mail attachment -- the equivalent of a small PowerPoint(R) presentation or a large PDF file -- in about eight seconds and upload the same-sized file in less than 13 seconds.

To help customers stay connected, BroadbandAccess seamlessly switches to the company's NationalAccess service if they travel outside the BroadbandAccess coverage area. V CAST Music with Rhapsody The company's wireless broadband network powers its V CAST Music with Rhapsody service, which combines Verizon Wireless' world-class, over-the-air mobile music service with Rhapsody's leading desktop solution.

Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise Student Administration Integration Pack Now AvailableFirst Product in Oracle's Academic Enterprise Solutions Suite Integrates Back-office and Learning Management Systems for Higher Education Institutions REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Aug. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- -- Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise Student Administration Integration Pack (SAIP), the first product in the company's Academic Enterprise Solutions suite, is now available. The application is designed to help higher education institutions more efficiently integrate and manage their various administrative and educational systems. -- SAIP provides out-of-the-box integration between PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions and major vendor-supplied and open source learning management systems, helping higher education institutions streamline business processes, as well as decrease implementation and maintenance costs for a greater return on investment (ROI). PeopleSoft Enterprise Student Administration Integration Pack Details -- Higher education institutions have traditionally implemented learning management systems -- which allow instructors to manage their courses and exchange information with students -- independently, providing minimal integration with their student administrative systems.

This approach requires institutions to develop complex, customized integrations between systems to improve visibility into curriculum and enrollment data. Customized integration cannot deliver the highly-accessible, user-friendly online experience today's Web-savvy students expect. -- SAIP delivers a flexible, scalable, Web services-based interface for sharing academic data between the PeopleSoft Enterprise student information system and standards-based learning management systems -- delivering unprecedented access to information. For example, when an administrator creates a course in the student system, the interface passes information to the learning management system, which automatically creates a corresponding course site or virtual learning space. As students enroll in the course through PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions, their enrollment information flows directly into the learning management system and they receive all appropriate access privileges. -- This approach eliminates the need for re-entering data or re-synchronizing the two systems with every update -- particularly helpful for final grade reporting, a previously disconnected process that required administrators to re-key grades into the student information system. -- To build on existing knowledge, contribute to a community of users and developers and ensure future maintainability and extensibility, Oracle has employed open standards in SAIP and is participating in discussions to extend, modify or create standards and specifications where none exist.

The product leverages the IMS Learning Information Services (LIS) standard specification: which defines standard information models and protocols for people, courses, enrollments and outcomes. -- Oracle has also partnered with Blackboard Inc.: Desire2Learn Inc.: Sakai: and Moodle: to make integration with these learning management systems less costly, more flexible and extensible to future technologies, enhancements and upgrades. This provides customers with flexibility in vendor choice. -- Oracle and its partners plan to continue developing the Academic Enterprise Solutions platform, eventually integrating and extending the broad range of systems that support the education experience including student systems, learning management, collaboration and communication, analytics, identity management, library systems, parking and housing systems and more.

Supporting Quotes -- 'Oracle saw a need among its customers to bridge the gap between the back office and the classroom, and the PeopleSoft Enterprise Student Administration Integration Pack is the first step in delivering this integration. Through a standards-based, Web services approach, SAIP eases the implementation burden and provides a foundation for a robust enterprise-wide integration framework, putting institutions on a path to evolve to the next-generation of higher education technology,' said Curtiss Barnes, vice president, Education & Research Product Strategy, Oracle. -- 'In an institution as large and diverse as the California State University System: we depend on our technology partners to look for ways to improve the integration of our administrative and academic solutions. This new integration pack for Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise student system promises to make a huge difference in the way our faculty, students and administrators access information and manage teaching and learning on our 23 campuses,' said David J. Ernst, chief information officer and assistant vice chancellor, California State University System.

-- 'The University of Michigan: like most higher education institutions, has a mix of strategic software solutions. The open, standards-based integration solution between the administrative computing and learning management systems is a critical missing link. This type of offering is a huge boon as it can reduce our maintenance costs, provide flexibility and gain efficiencies,' said Laura Patterson, associate vice president, University of Michigan Administrative Information Services (MAIS). -- 'Oracle has been a strong partner with the Sakai open source community, especially in the development and adoption of open standards for education.

Standards-based products like SAIP benefit the entire community, allowing institutions to confidently deploy open source courseware management systems like Sakai and more easily integrate them with student information systems,' said Michael Korcuska, executive director, Sakai Project. (Oracle joined Sakai as a commercial affiliate in 2006.) -- 'Collaboration between Oracle and Unicon: integrate Sakai to the Oracle platform will help improve the effectiveness of the educational experience, as well as further streamline administrative processes.

We are excited to help Oracle bring the benefits of community-developed collaboration and learning software to its clients through a supported, low-risk, predictable cost model. Our collective vision for a next-generation academic management environment will harness the strength of Oracle's application and technology development with Unicon's expertise in open source systems and services,' said John Blakley, chief executive officer, Unicon, Inc.

(Oracle has partnered with Unicon -- a provider of open-source frameworks, applications and professional services for the online campus -- since 2006.)

TXTbook also features an 8.9-inch display, a highly reliable hard drive based on the same technology used in popular MP3 players, built-in wired and wireless networking, a built-in Webcam, 2 Dual-channel stereo audio and USB peripheral support -- all contained in a durable, drop-proof package.

'Everything about TXTbook is optimized for kids,' said Deborah Herrud, product marketing manager for MPC Computers. 'At less than three pounds, it's lightweight and easy to carry with a built-in handle. The keyboard is approximately 70 percent the size of a normal notebook computer and the footprint is small enough to fit on a child's desk and makes it easy for a student to see over the top of the display and follow what their teacher is doing.' One-to-one 2.0 As one of the largest computer suppliers to the U.S. Education market, MPC's introduction of TXTbook represents more than just a new product offering (click here for podcast interview with MPC's product marketing team). It is, more significantly, another step in the company's one-to-one (1:1) computing initiative for K-12.

To begin with, MPC believes that the low price point for TXTbook can help shift the cost of computing from schools to parents, thereby allowing schools to invest more heavily in mobile technology infrastructure. 'TXTbook potentially changes the hardware acquisition environment from 'hard' to 'soft' mandates, thereby accelerating the transition from traditional lab computing to individual student use,' noted Kevin Shabow, MPC's area vice president of sales. 'We see a proliferation of parent-driven, one-to-one computing taking place -- which we refer to as One-to-One Computing, Version 2.0 (1:1 2.0) -- which will result in a new phase of wireless implementation and collaborative learning environments.' 'MPC has a long history of improving the experience of learning and teaching through technology,' said Lila Ibrahim, general manager of the Intel Emerging Markets Platform Group. 'The new TXTbook PC, based on the Intel- powered classmate PC design, is an exciting new platform designed to meet the needs of today's students and teachers and sets the stage for the vision of one-to-one 2.0.'

TI unveils industry's thinnest 500-mA power converter solutionTiny 6-MHz step-down DC/DC converter supports ultra-thin, feature-rich smart phones, wireless modules and portable electronics DALLAS, Aug. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Giving portable designers the ability to add more features and functions on a handheld device, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) announced today the industry's smallest and thinnest 500-mA, step-down DC/DC converter solution for space-constrained applications.

The high-efficiency power management integrated circuit (IC) is the first 6-MHz, 500-mA converter to achieve a 13-mm2 solution size with an ultra-thin 0.6-mm total height. See: Leveraging TI's analog manufacturing technology, the new TPS62601 converter achieves up to 89-percent power efficiency and only 30-uA typical operating quiescent current -- all from a 0.9-mm x 1.3-mm chip scale package roughly the size of a flake of pepper. The synchronous, switch-mode device's fixed frequency of 6-MHz allows the use of only one 0.47-uH inductor with a height of 0.6-mm and two low-cost ceramic capacitors, without compromising performance and efficiency.

'Portable system designers continue to desire more features on their devices, which require smaller, efficient DC/DC converters to maintain long battery life and system run-times,' said Steve Anderson, senior vice president of Power Management, TI. 'The TPS62601 gives portable designers access to the smallest, thinnest 500-mA DC/DC solution, which simplifies design and reduces board space and time-to-market.' The TPS62601 can deliver DC voltage regulation accuracy of +/- 1.5-percent. In addition, the device's excellent load transient response, wide input voltage range of 2.3-V to 5.5-V and 1.8-V of output allows it to effectively support single-rail voltage requirements as designers add new features and functionality. The TPS62601 supports many applications, such as memory modules, GPS modules, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules or other wireless micro-modules used in ultra-thin smart phones, digital still cameras, portable disk drives and media players. The converter also applies energy-saving techniques to help maximize battery run-time.

For example, the converter automatically enters a power save mode during light-load operating conditions via an automatic pulse frequency modulation and pulse width modulation switching feature. In shutdown mode, the device's current consumption is reduced to less than 1-uA.

Pricing and availability The TPS62601 is available today in volume from TI and its authorized distributors. The device comes in a highly reliable, six-pin, wafer chip scale (0.9-mm x 1.3-mm) package and has a suggested resale price of $1.45 each in quantities of 1,000 units. The TPS62601EVM-327 evaluation module, application notes and TI's online Power Management selection tool are available through Innovative power management for portable electronics In addition to the TPS62601, TI provides a broad range of power management battery management solutions for handheld devices. Examples include the new 3-MHz bq24150, switch-mode battery charger integrated circuit, the system-side bq27500 battery fuel gauges, and TI's DC/DC converters that support RF power amplifiers and core supply voltages.
