Signs New Online Distributors in U.S. , Japan, Scandinavia , Spain , Korea ,
Australia & New Zealand
PERFECT GIFT FOR FATHER’S DAY –
Patented Golf Glove Instantly Corrects “Death Grip” for
Better, More Accurate & Powerful Golf Swing
March 17, 2011, Aachen, Germany – Sensosolutions www.sensoglove.com, a leading provider of innovative IT systems for sports analysis, motion and performance measurement, announced today that it has signed distribution deals for SensoGlove, the world’s first digital golf glove, for online distribution in the U.S., Japan, Scandinavia, Spain, Korea, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand. International distributors include InTheHoleGolf.com ( U.S. ), Becompany ( Japan ), LuxuryHouse.se (Scandinavia), Sporthitec.com and Manolitogolf.com ( Spain ), SM Tech Inc. ( Korea ), and Stig Limited (NewZealand/Australia).
SensoGlove improves the golf game with built-in digital sensors that continuously read the user’s grip pressure to ensure a consistently accurate, smooth and powerful golf swing for greater distance and lower scores. SensoGlove’s small, sweat-proof 1.2-inch LED digital monitor analyzes the pressure of the swing through highly responsive sensors placed throughout the glove. Just swing the golf club to receive real-time audio and visual feedback at 80 times per second by the small sensors that warn you if you exceed your target level of grip pressure. The patented SensoGlove even shows you which fingers are gripping too tightly, so you can adjust your grip accordingly.
Perfect Father’s Day Gift for Golfers – Works as Your Own Personal Golf Teacher
Made of the highest quality cabretta leather, SensoGlove is the perfect Father’s Day gift for dads that want to learn golf or improve their game (makes a great Mother’s Day gift too!). Everyone that has tried to learn golf knows how hard it is to achieve the perfect light grip necessary to swing the club correctly every time. SensoGlove works as your own personal golf trainer, showing you the correct way to grip the club, thereby avoiding bad habits and injury. With SensoGlove, all golfers (from beginner to advanced), can quickly learn how to hold the club, improving every part of their game, from backswing, downswing, impact, follow-through, to driving, putting, and chipping.
“Dads everywhere will love SensoGlove, the first golf glove that actually teaches you how to improve the challenging game of golf with a more relaxed, powerful swing,” said David Bauer, President, SensoSolutions. “Instinctively, people try to grip the club harder when they have trouble hitting the ball properly, creating a ‘death grip,’ with excessive tension in the hands, wrists, arms and shoulders, crippling the swing. SensoGlove stops the ‘death grip’ by telling you when you are gripping too hard and when it’s just right.”
Right & Left Hand Gloves Available for Men and Women
SensoGlove is available immediately online at www.sensoglove.com and through distributors, sales partners, and golf schools around the world for men and women in right or left hand configurations, sizes small to x-large, priced at $89 (replacement gloves are available for $25). Made of cabretta leather, the built-in digital monitor can be removed to use SensoGlove as a regular golf glove. For more information, please visit www.sensoglove.com.

The Immortal Subwoofer Series from Audiobahn Car Audio Lives
BUENA PARK, California, (March 15, 2011)- Much anticipation and hype has surrounded Audiobahn Car Audio since its announcement to return in late 2010. Literally thousands of people across the world have embraced the brand, the lifestyle and the legend known as Audiobahn. From the United States to Peru, Mexico to India, and Canada to the United Kingdom, Audiobahn's comeback has made an impactful statement to the 12-volt industry.
With the spring break car show season in full-swing, Audiobahn has unleashed its most popular and powerful line of subwoofers, the Immortal Series for 2011. Designed specifically for the competition environment, the Immortal is undoubtedly the most admired subwoofer in mobile audio history.
"Audiobahn's Immortal subwoofers delivers like no other," said Steven Hayes, international sales director for Audiobahn. "In design and technology, we did not hold back one bit. From the moment you see the three-dimensional die-cast flamed aluminum basket to the first time you run the 2250 watts of continuous throbbing bass power, you know that you have in your possession the ultimate competition woofer ever made."
The Immortal subwoofer series is not only trademarked, it also has a design patent that sets it apart from any woofer. It features a triple-stacked strontium magnet plus a proprietary tall excursion foam surround and a 25mm top plate ensuring maximum cone excursion and subwoofer efficiency.
"To top it off, the Immortal features a 3-inch quad, 2 ohm voice coils proving you have a woofer to be heard worldwide," continued Hayes. "The Audiobahn Immortal woofer is a huge reason for our profound following in the international market."
Since the Immortal was created as a SPL competition subwoofer, high efficiency was crucial. The ultra-light 2-layer laminated carbon fiber Kevlar cone features an aluminum dust-cap, making the cone rigid and lightweight. The design allows the cone to travel easily with the same amount of power. More pressure and more sound is created because less power is wasted controlling a heavy cone.
On the surface, the Immortal is an impressive looking subwoofer. Its exterior looks alone have captured title after title, award after award for many Audiobahn car enthusiasts. The Immortal subwoofer series features the brand's trademark chrome with the signature Audiobahn flames. Throughout its history, the Immortal has graced hundreds of magazine covers, tech and install articles, and web features. It has been and will continue to be a worldwide sensation in the car audio world.
Audiobahn's Immortal is available in two models and sizes. The 15-inch AWIS15J retails for $769.99 each and the 12-inch AWIS12J retails for $629.99 each.

The $2.4 billion increase in sales over 2009 was attributed primarily to a rise in average selling price (ASP) and increased shipment volume.
“Our company was able to take advantage of an improving global economy as well as catch some lucky breaks to achieve our best sales year ever in 2010,” said David Sun, co-founder, Kingston. “We are very fortunate to have dedicated and hard-working employees who work tirelessly alongside our partners and vendors to make sure that Kingston’s customers are treated with respect and always taken care of.”
Kingston saw a rise in ASP for most of its product lines in 2010 particularly during first quarter, a trend which continued for the remainder of the year. Demand was also healthy from both corporate end customers and consumers, as evidenced by growth in the OEM and Flash business divisions.
Kingston’s revenues were $4.1 billion in 2009. The company’s second-highest grossing year was in 2007, when sales reached $4.5 billion. Kingston first reached the $1 billion mark in global sales in 1995, surpassing it with $2 billion in 2004 and $3 billion in 2005.
