Is Oracle's TimesTen & Oracle NoSQL the same product?

Is Oracle's TimeTen in-memory database the same product as it's new Oracle NoSQL product offering?

UPDATE:

The genesis for this post is the following, when someone wrote:

"I don’t expect Oracle NoSQL database to be a new product. Just a rebranding or repackaging of one of the above mentioned ones. Probably the TimesTen."

No.

TimesTen is a standard relational SQL database that is entirely in-memory. It supports ANSI SQL and PL/SQL, and it was bought by Oracle in 2005.

Oracle NoSQL is a distributed file-based key-value database, similar to Hadoop or MongoDB, based on Berkeley DB which was bought by Oracle in 2006.

No, it is a totally different product, it has nothing to do with Time10 DB and it is not even 'based' on Berkley DB codebase. It was written from scratch with involvment of Berkley DB JE team.
