Clemson University's International Center for Automotive Research announced as the first of five participants in the Apollo Trial Program to test Plugless Powerâ„¢ technology

GREENVILLE, S.C., Feb. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Clemson University's International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) announced today that it will participate in the 2012 Apollo Launch Program hosted by Evatran™, the developer of Plugless Power wireless electric vehicle recharging systems. The Apollo Program aims to encourage electric vehicle adoption across the United States through the launch of a convenient recharging alternative to the repetitive plug-in, unplug process.

The Plugless Power system allows a user to avoid the plug-in process traditionally required by electric vehicles (EV). The wireless system provides the driver with parking guidance upon approach and automatically begins charging once the vehicle is in position. When the driver is ready to depart, the system automatically discontinues the recharging process.

Clemson University, as one of the Department of Energy's GATE Centers of Excellence, is participating in the Program to research technologies that may influence the development of advanced drivetrains and electric mobility as a whole. CU-ICAR is actively developing a portfolio of research activities and services around the ecosystems for sustainable mobility and the networked vehicle. To that end, Clemson University is also collaborating with Duke Energy, another Apollo Program participant, to understand how electric vehicles may interface with the electrical grid.

"The Apollo Program fits perfectly with CU-ICAR's efforts in a holistic view of alternative power train solutions and their infrastructure implications," said Dr. Joachim Taiber, Research Professor at Clemson University's International Center for Automotive Research. "We are very pleased to be part of the trial and are confident the Program will lead to significant advances in understanding key aspects of wireless infrastructure."

Additional partners will be announced at the Apollo Launch Event scheduled for February 23rd, 2012 in Richmond, Virginia with installations beginning in March 2012. Once installed, the participants will trial the wireless charging systems for three months and provide feedback on usage and features. More information on the Apollo Program can be found on Evatran's website.

About Clemson University's International Center for Automotive Research

Clemson University's International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) is a 250-acre advanced-technology research campus where university, industry and government organizations collaborate. CU-ICAR offers Masters and PhD programs in Automotive Engineering and is conducting leading-edge applied research in critical areas such as advanced product development strategies, sustainable mobility, intelligent manufacturing systems and advanced materials. 

CU-ICAR has industrial-scale laboratories and testing equipment in world-class facilities available for commercial use as well as a comprehensive computational center, dedicated to solving clients industrial problems, and backed by a massive high-performance computing infrastructure. 

About the Apollo Trial Program

The Apollo Trial Program is an initiative started by Evatran™, the developer of Plugless Power™ wireless recharging technology, to encourage electric vehicle (EV) adoption. Through partnership with five electric vehicle industry leaders from various market segments including Duke Energy and Clemson, the Program aims to increase awareness of wireless charging technology by setting up prototype trials across the country. Installations focus on commercial partners with Nissan Leafs or Chevrolet Volts in their fleets and Evatran is working with Yazaki North America™, a Tier 1 automotive supplier, to develop the prototypes for the trial. To learn more about the Apollo Trial Program or to reserve a wireless charging system for your own EV, visit www.pluglesspower.com.

Two Consumer-Created Doritos Ads Crash the Super Bowl Advertising Stage, Now Compete for _1 Million Bonus Prize

Creators of "Man's Best Friend" and "Sling Baby" Win Once-In-A-Lifetime Opportunity to Work With The Lonely Island; Now Compete for Top Spot on USA TODAY Ad Meter

PLANO, Texas, Feb. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Doritos brand gave two of its fans the chance to showcase their talent on the world's biggest advertising stage when it aired two consumer-created Doritos commercials during tonight's Super Bowl XLVI broadcast. This marks the sixth year in a row consumers have created Super Bowl ads for Doritos, one of the flagship brands from PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division.

As winners of this year's Crash the Super Bowl challenge, the creators of both winning ads will be awarded one of the most exciting grand prizes to date: a guaranteed opportunity to work on a future Doritos project with one of the hottest entertainment teams in the industry today — the award-winning trio of Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone that make up The Lonely Island. The Doritos brand has also put a $1 million cash bonus prize on the line if one of the two winning consumer-created Doritos ads scores the No. 1 spot on either the traditional USA TODAY Ad Meter or the recently created USA TODAY Facebook Super Bowl Ad Meter.

The two winning ads were (in alphabetical order):

"We were impressed with the humor and creativity shown in not just the two winning ads, but all five finalist ads," said The Lonely Island members Samberg, Schaffer and Taccone. "Doritos fans really brought their A-game to this contest. We look forward to collaborating with both winners on future projects."

The two winning ads were among five finalist ads selected by the Doritos brand from more than 6,100 submissions received as part of the contest, the most entries ever in a single year of competition. One of the winning ads was determined by consumer voting; the other was selected by the Doritos brand.

"From the beginning, we set out to make this the biggest Crash the Super Bowl ever by offering our fans a shot at the most life-changing grand prize to date , which we hope will unlock a new world of opportunity for these talented artists," said Tony Matta, vice president of marketing, Frito-Lay North America. "Our fans responded in the biggest way possible, submitting a record-setting number of ads and driving the most consumer votes in contest history. Tonight's winning ads were among the best we've ever seen — we can't wait to see what happens next as their creators go to compete for the top spot in the USA TODAY Ad Meter rankings."

From here, the Crash the Super Bowl program enters its final phase as the creators of the two winning Doritos ads wait to see how they stack up in the traditional USA TODAY Ad Meter and its Facebook equivalent, competing against all ads that aired during the Super Bowl XLVI broadcast. The Ad Meter payouts are as follows:

Each winning consumer finalist is only eligible to receive one cash bonus prize, and the amount will be determined by the Ad Meter in which the commercial receives the highest spot.

Friedman, a freelance graphic designer and musician, spent just $20 to buy dog treats, a cat collar and a bag of Doritos tortilla chips to film "Man's Best Friend." He borrowed a friend's dog, Huff, and labored through multiple takes as the 120-pound Great Dane resisted in his new acting gig. Finally, after bribing Huff with treat after treat, Friedman got the shots he wanted to create his ad, which stars a dog that bribes a man with Doritos tortilla chips to cover up what he's done with the neighbor's cat.

A former special education teacher, Willson left his steady job in 2005 to pursue his lifelong dream of comedy film production.  With the airing of "Sling Baby" during Super Bowl XLVI, he is now that much closer to fulfilling his dream. The spot tells an underdog story of a grandma and baby who team up to take down the bully on the jungle gym and re-claim a bag of Doritos tortilla chips.

Since Crash the Super Bowl began in 2007, consumer-created Doritos ads have consistently ranked within the top-five spots of the traditional USA TODAY Ad Meter, and two of the last three years they have scored the No. 1 ranking.

The traditional USA TODAY Super Bowl Ad Meter tracks the second-by-second responses of a panel of viewers to ads during the national broadcast of the Super Bowl and ranks them favorite to least favorite. Created in 1989, it has been regarded as the most influential Super Bowl ad rating in the advertising industry. The recently announced USA TODAY Facebook Super Bowl Ad Meter allows consumers for the first time to view and vote on the ads, see how other people rank the ads and share their favorites with Facebook friends. The USA TODAY Facebook Super Bowl Ad Meter consumer ratings will take place via an application hosted on Facebook and USATODAY.com, both online and via mobile.

Doritos tortilla chips is one of the billion-dollar brands that make up Frito-Lay North America, the $13 billion convenient foods business unit of PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP), which is headquartered in Purchase, NY.  To learn more about Doritos, visit its website at www.doritos.com or on Twitter at www.twitter.com/DoritosUSA.
