TORONTO, Oct. 7 /CNW/ – A free, one-day event will be held in Toronto on November 5, 2009 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre to update professionals impacted by XBRL. Critical issues covered include the United States’ Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Interactive Data Program, IFRS Convergence, the Canadian XBRL filing environment as well as an update regarding XBRL internationally. Equally valuable is a showcase of XBRL solution providers that allows attendees to view, understand and evaluate solutions to their XBRL challenges.
In the next three years, all companies that report to the SEC will be required to use XBRL when reporting their financial statements, including those based in Canada. If you represent a company that is required to file in this period, come join us to find out critical information about the SEC’s program and how you can begin filing in XBRL.
Investor Relations officers, financial communications professionals, finance directors and those interested in XBRL are encouraged to attend the event and share their thoughts.
XBRL Canada is proud to host this event and recognizes the importance of engaging dialogue and raising awareness amongst Canadian business leaders. XBRL Canada has been proactive in bringing XBRL knowledge to the Canadian market assisting all professionals impacted by the growing use of XBRL. Recognizing the need for further knowledge sharing, XBRL Canada will announce a new membership tier specifically for issuers filing XBRL that are looking to gain additional insight from other filers and XBRL Canada.

Funai and Nippon Signal have developed the Eco Scan mini projector that is able to produce touch sensitive images. The projector utilizes Nippon Signal’s MEMS scanner and RGB laser light is scanned by a two-axis MEMS mirror to project a color image.
The Eco Scan projector is able to determine the position of a finger. To realize this function, a sensor that recognizes the intensity of light is placed near the projection screen. When a projected image is touched by a finger, part of the laser light is cut off. Then, the sensor detects a change in light intensity.
The Eco Scan is still a prototype and Funai may commercialize it as early as within 2010.
