Dual Flush Toilet Systems From DualFlush-Toilets

October 31st, 2009

The Australian company ADG Fluid Technologies is offering, through its product website DualFlush-Toilets.com, a unique range of dual flush cistern valves. Prices for the products presented on DualFlush-Toilets.com are, according to company officials, suitable for any budget and plumbing situation. The Touch Technology also presented by ADG Fluid Technologies is an innovative system for both dual flush and regular toilets. In presenting three versions of the technology ADG aims to ensure that everyone can benefit from their new light-touch systems.

The first product is the Touche Model One which is a retrofit unit for the most popular Caroma valves. This product is installed within the Caroma Smartflush valve casing. The result is a dual flush toilet system that features an ultra light touch action system. The best thing about Touche Model One is that no plumbing experience is required for the installation.

The Touche Model is designed to be installed within any type of regular gravity fed cistern. Like the Touche Model One, the Touche Model Two offers users two types of flush action: full flush for solid waste and half flush for fluid waste. This dual flush toilet system also features an ultra-light touch action button that requires users to use only a tiny fraction of the power needed to flush regular gravity fed valves.

The third product being presented on DualFlush-Toilets.com is called the Touche Model Three. This product is an actuation attachment for the concealed cistern systems from Geberit. The Touche Model Three converts Geberit concealed cisterns into an ultra soft touch dual flush toilet system. The product does not contain any valve mechanism and is a low cost solution for clients wanting to purchase light touch technology systems.

October 31st, 2009

RemedyMD’s solution addresses Institute of Medicine’s top 100 priorities and shifts focus towards research based on more comprehensive scientific evidence

SALT LAKE CITY, US , October 26, 2009 — RemedyMD, the leading provider of disease registry software, today announced the first nationwide pediatric obesity registry to help clinicians and researchers identify which interventions are most appropriate for specific patient populations.

Details about the registry: www.remedymd.com/cer100/pediatric_obesity.html

Aligned with the Institute of Medicine’s Top 100 Priorities for Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER), RemedyMD’s pediatric obesity registry compares the effectiveness of school-based interventions involving meal programs, vending machines, and physical education, at different levels of intensity, in preventing and treating overweight and obese children and adolescents. The registry includes all of the applications, data infrastructure, and tools that clinicians and researchers need to gather, synthesize and analyze both phenotypic and genotypic data simultaneously.

“Our experience has shown when you view and report across all data types at the same time, you discover patterns and associations that are indistinguishable using traditional methodologies” said Gary D. Kennedy, Founder and CEO of RemedyMD.

RemedyMD’s new pediatric obesity registry includes a comprehensive set of electronic data collection (EDC) forms that are specific to pediatric obesity research, ad hoc reporting capability, and pattern recognition tools that assist users in identifying the most effective treatment options.

In support of this initiative RemedyMD is seeking additional partners who have existing data that addresses the specific needs of pediatric obesity researchers.

Build a Floating License with QuickLicense Server

October 31st, 2009

Excel Software announces availability of QuickLicense Server 1.0 for Mac and Windows.  The QuickLicense Server allows a software vendor to generate a vendor-branded, floating license system for their products.  Vendors enjoy royalty free, server distribution for any number of products or licenses.

A floating license system consists of a License Server, License Monitor and Protected Applications.  The License Monitor is used to securely configure the Server IP address and Port, change the number of purchased licenses or monitor server operation.  The License Server silently manages the number of allowed concurrent Protected Applications in use at a customer site.

The Windows edition of QuickLicense Server generates a License Server and License Monitor application that runs on any Windows computer with XP or later and can manage either Mac or Windows applications protected with QuickLicense.  Likewise, the Mac edition of QuickLicense Server generates a License Server and License Monitor application that runs on any PPC or Intel based Mac OS X computer and manages Mac or Windows Protected Applications.

QuickLicense Server also works with DocProtect to support floating licenses of protected documents including PDF files, image collections, video and audio files, Excel spreadsheets and compiled HTML based applications.

A vendor can brand the License Server and License Monitor applications with their own file names, icons, user presented Monitor window and dialog text, custom error messages and security features.  Vendors can offer and price their products with various numbers of floating licenses.  Additional licenses can be securely added to the License Server running at a customer site by typing a code into the License Monitor.

Since the QuickLicense Server requires little or no programming by software vendors, new revenue streams can quickly be added from existing Mac or Windows software products.  Customers enjoy the ability to use floating licenses across all computers on their network with minimal administrative effort.

QuickLicense Server 1.0 is $995 for a Single User License on either Windows (XP and Vista) or Mac OS X (PPC and Intel).  The package includes a printed and PDF User Guide with step-by-step tutorial.  The company web site includes demonstration videos, detailed product information and secure online ordering.

Furthermore, with a 1500mm beam capable of supporting 80kgs, it also combines ease-of-use with heavy-duty performance, allowing retailers to maintain larger stock levels of winter garments.

“The MAX range of garment racking is ideal for clothing retailers to display their winter ranges,” commented Doug Nourse of BiGDUG. “They can be configured to fit any floor space and offer an attractive, practical, heavy-duty solution for storing and displaying heavy winter garments such as coats and jackets.”

Battery Tester Helps NASA Solve Their Uninterruptible Power Supply Issues

October 31st, 2009

Amherst NH – Battery maintenance and care are highly crucial for ensuring optimum performance. The first step in battery maintenance and care is testing the batteries. This phase will analyze the battery and its performance on various parameters. Battery testing has always been one of the most time consuming part of battery maintenance. Acquiring an accurate reading while testing batteries has always been a significant challenge to overcome. Battery testing is not a problem anymore. One of the most efficient battery testers available helps professionals to identify all types of issues in less than a minute. While there are so many battery testers available on the market, it is not by accident that NASA chose the SOCTESTER™. The SOCTESTER™ is one of the most accurate battery load testers available in the market and its efficiency and effectiveness has been proven in the NASA Glen Research Center.

Needing accurate testing equipment to properly evaluate mission critical battery backup systems is more than a necessity for NASA.  This puts them under the severe pressure of having the entire backup system in top performing condition. To ensure a high level of reliability, the UPS systems have to be tested and maintained on a daily basis. Unlike other companies and organizations, NASA has hundreds of recombinant batteries that are in the range of 6 and 12 volts. No other system proved to be effective in testing their battery condition and performance. They needed a more accurate and reliable system and the SOCTESTER™ met their specifications and requirements.

The backup systems were connected to computer racks, routers, computer hubs, mission critical rigs and security systems; thus leaving no room for error. Using the SOCTESTER™, NASA was able to solve their battery testing issues.  It helped them to easily check the status of their battery’s health in the most efficient and effective way possible. After completing reviews and research of all the available battery testing solutions, the NASA team pinned down the SOC140 to be the best solution for their battery testing needs. The SOC140 not only solved their battery testing problems easily, it also ensures that their UPS backup systems will function properly in the future. The NASA team writing on SOC140 states: “We the management as well as the skilled tradesmen feel this equipment is very effective in isolating trouble spots in our battery strings. We have 20 to 30 large UPS’s and a myriad of smaller back-up systems requiring maintenance and we’re confident the SOC 140 will do the job. This research facility is an excellent proving ground for your equipment.”

Ingle & Rhode highlight the need for fair trade gold

October 25th, 2009

London, England, (October 15, 2009) – Ingle & Rhode, the UK’s principal retailer of ethical jewellery produced using conflict-free diamonds and fair trade gold, wish to draw attention to the issue of the illicit gold industry, which has been further exacerbated in recent times through the surge in demand for gold.

Fortunately, nowadays many more consumers are aware of the ethical issues surrounding the diamond and precious stone industries, however, Ingle & Rhode are concerned that the large majority of consumers remain totally unaware of the horrific working conditions and unethical practices that are commonplace within the illegal gold mining industry in regions such as South Africa.

In a desperate attempt to feed their families, unemployed men work for local heavily-armed criminals in disused mines where they are often forced to live below ground for up to eight months at a time, in sweltering, choking conditions with no safety equipment and under the constant threat of the mine collapsing.

Much of this gold is then smuggled to Europe and can eventually end up on jewellers’ counters, with consumers blissfully unaware of the horrific and dangerous conditions endured by those that mine it, which is why Ingle & Rhode not only ensure the provenance of all the ethically mined gold they use, they wish to raise awareness so that consumers demand fair trade gold as well as ethical diamonds, in order to put an end to the illicit gold trade for good.

“Since the movie ‘Blood Diamond’ came out, a lot of consumers are aware of the ethical issues around conflict diamonds, and ask specifically for conflict free diamonds.” Stated Tim Ingle of Ingle & Rhode. “However, not that many people are aware that the ethical issues around gold can be just as serious, and we would like to raise awareness of this.”
