South East Labels Re-Launches Cryogenic Label Line

South East Labels has recently decided to re-launch its cryogenic and anti-microbial label line that features improvements and cost reductions. This cryogenic label line has been specially designed for use under research and medical conditions that require exposure to the cryogenic temperatures of liquid nitrogen. Cryogenic and Anti-Microbial Labels.

South East Labels Re-Launches Cryogenic Label Line

South East Labels has featured cryogenic labels in its product line for some time. These are special labels that use special adhesives and materials that can sustain adherence to surfaces at the freezing cryogenic temperatures of liquid nitrogen. Now is the time for a re-launch of its cryogenic line with an upgraded production process and new materials that allow them to offer new anti-microbial features.

The labels are traditionally supplied on rolls for use with thermal transfer printing devices although they can also be used on sheets in regular laser printers if a thermal printer is not available. Labels are frequently used on plain or pre-printer formats and can be supplied in any size and shape according to the individual specifications of the customer. For the latter, the company offers top-of-the-line machines that can take care of producing quality print jobs: the print-head resolution range for these machines is from 200 – 600 dots per inch (the latter particularly useful when high definition or very small text prints are required).

Innovation: Anti-Microbial Material

One of the most important selling points in this new line of cryogenic labels is the incorporation of anti-microbial material in the production process. This innovative material is based on the silver ion technology and has been developed to specifically target the needs of the pharmaceutical sector, though it is clear that it can solve the operational needs of any sector that requires hygienic labelling. The new material allows the company to produce labels that actively inhibit the growth of bacteria which, in turn, minimizes the risk of cross-contamination. So far, the material has boasted a very promising 99.99% effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of a wide range of harmful bacteria and funghi, including the likes of MRSA, E-Coli and Salmonella.

The Company: South East Labels

South East Labels is a company, with over 20 years of experience, that produces and distributes labels, barcode labels for barcode printing, digital printers, ribbons, label printers, security and asset-tracking labels, scanners, verifiers and more to a wide variety of industries.

Intranet Connections Intranet Software Will Be Releasing The Latest Version Of Its Intranet 2.0 Software Suite In September 2009

Intranet Connections Intranet Software will be releasing the latest version of its intranet 2.0 software suite in September 2009. Version 9.5 will feature a more robust Document Management module that incorporates 2.0 tools such as Ajax tree navigation, tagging, breadcrumbs, versioning, approval workflow, user subscriptions, document comments and a ratings voting system. The new Document Management utility will provide the simple user experience that is the hallmark of the Intranet Connections software.

“There is an overload of information on social media and the 2.0 enterprise right now, and how that fits in with your corporate intranet,” states Carolyn Douglas, CEO of Intranet Connections. “Our goal is to merge the social and collaborative networking that employees gravitate towards with the practical intranet tools that are necessary in assisting employees in their day-to-day duties.”

In surveying incoming leads for their intranet software, it became apparent that high on the corporate wish list was not a Facebook social networking component, but a document management system, and a way for employees to find and submit electronic forms. Respondents wanted to leverage an intranet for cost savings, to reduce resources, help employees to function at a higher productivity level and to provide a central hub for all corporate information.

“Enterprise 2.0 tools that encourage communication, collaboration, knowledge and information sharing will enhance the use of an intranet site, but it doesn’t make an intranet site. Social media that is regulated and private on the internal corporate network can be a great add on to the core applications that are the backbone of an intranet, such as Document Management, Policies & Procedures, a Form Builder utility, Job Postings, Calendaring, Support Desk Ticketing, a Knowledgebase, and Employee Training.” says Carolyn Douglas.

In addition to Document Management, Intranet Connections v9.5 provides employee social profiles with a mini photo gallery of your co-workers, and an application where employees can go to share ideas, comment and vote. The Training Calendar application provides more admin control over email notifications and registrations, and streamlines the management of students. The Discussion Forum has become more transparent and employee profiles and photos are featured with topics, and the intranet home page offers content feeds and widgets that can be moved and positioned to create a portal gateway.

Intranet Connections Intranet Software is a feature-rich, out-of-the-box intranet solution with content and document management that focuses on ease of use, collaboration and employee ownership. Over 1300 organizations world-wide have chosen Intranet Connections to improve their employee communications, centralize their corporate information, save costs and increase productivity.

Electronic Compute Systems, Inc., Announces The Re-Architecture Of The 41 Year Old Microprocessor & Software Operating System Based Personal Computer

Features and Benefits include: Instant On, 100 to 10,000 times faster at 1/10 clocking speed, Lower Power, Fewer Components, More reliable, Real time everything friendly, Immune to viruses, Bridgeable to x86 for extending legacy programs, Humble©.

Hardware Unified Multiple Branch Logic Engine (HUMBLE©), attempts to convey the new architecture innovation and value thereof all in one word. Essentially it is a compression of the well known microprocessor and windowing operating system into one chip without re-using either in any way shape or form. We assert it is the first genuine and practical alternative toward extending general purpose computing. The HUMBLE© PC proof of concept, also known as the HUMBLE© PC development system provides tangible evidence today toward extending, including, and performing many things dreamed (for years by many).

Background and details — The Humble© PC is based upon the same foundation which all computing engines rest. This implementation is a first introduction in this form. Quietly rethinking the whole past-present-future computing problem a new solution emerges . . . Learning from past and present technology and following wisdom as a guide, Humble© begins as such by removing the conventional microprocessor (uP) and conventional operating system (O/S) altogether. However, re-linkage to either or both as legacy-tandem options clearly remains possible. Thus, rather than presuming single, dual, or many microprocessors with exponentially increasing s/w complexity into an already burdened software time-multiplexed serial fetch-decode-execute architecture, Humble© performs these in complementary fashion thereby un-limiting the number of threads, un-limiting paralleling of applications, removing unnecessary coupling of time-multiplexed streams, achieving multiple execute-execute-execute, while exchanging exponential increasing complexity for linear, hence removing all the burdens, bottlenecks, and apparent brick walls. Humble© unifies threading, branching, scheduling, applications, etc. at the silicon level (rather than in disk-memory-resident-software) thereby producing 100s to 10,000s fold speedup coexisting with improved reliability and security (preventing virus entry altogether into the operating system, application programs and drivers . . .). Whilst these features and benefits are not possible in conventional software unified systems, they are possible in hardware unified systems. Advancement of technology slowly opened the window for this alternative during the recent 10 years. Utilizing a readily available (open) off the shelf general purpose field programmable motherboard, and an open language, the Humble© PC comes to life re-revolutionizing computing, minimally reminding us that solutions result from how well we have received Understanding (with a capital U). Present features and benefits are intended toward proof of these foundational concepts, and are not-limited by the concepts themselves nor by present technology. For example wireless features have not been implemented first as they are extensions of the basics. Hence wireless features are presently one of many opportunities for others to add. The application suite is also bare providing wide-open opportunity for others. In its present form, Humble© proves a better ‘core’ solution does exist now enabling true real-time-smooth-all-together-concurrency-fusion of multiple-forms-of-audio-telephony-television-gaming and computing including reliability, instant-on/off access, higher overall performance (bandwidth), lower power, and with much improved security, all built in. No new languages and no new silicon advances are required, rather a greater understanding of Understanding.

Question – What is meant by Hardware Unified? Answer – A conventional uP and O/S performs its operation through software control of hardware. Therefore we assert the software unifies all operations. All commands and system status are input ultimately to software and all actions/results are consequences of decisions made in (by) software. Hardware unification allows user commands to enter directly into hardware with status and decisions made directly by hardware. Thereby relegating storage of instructions to a memory of any sort including hard disk (fetched to a memory-cache – decoded and executed) as a legacy-optional method. In other words history will begin to record that instructions no longer need to be fetched from memory (or disk) . . . when using a Humble© PC.

Question – What is meant by Multiple Branch Logic Engine? Answer – Generally speaking, a conventional single uP with its O/S performs single branching wherein only the processor computes. From any one instruction to the next, the conventional uP and o/s typically can only branch from one instruction-point to another (within a program), or one instruction within a program to one instruction within another program. Humble© allows point to multi-point, process to multi-process, and program to multi-program branching wherein each may simultaneously compute with corresponding return. These are all performed without accessing a disk or memory for instructions (hence without associated delay). This kind of engine provides control for multiple concurrent io transactions and applications rather than multiplexing single io transfers and applications. Further, Humble© does not use a microprocessor nor derivative/variant thereof. NISC is a 2nd acronym helping describe Humble© further. See www.ecs-pc.com Frequently Asked Questions for a definition of NISC architecture with comparison to RISC and CISC.

Question – If Humble© has no microprocessor what does it have? Answer – Humble© has hardware that includes wires, logic, flipflops, and small block memories, etc. that do not include a microprocessor nor soft microprocessor. So, Humble© may be likened to a ‘core’ breakthrough without a new (or old) microprocessor as the core. Humble© successfully re-describes time multiplexed software programs (from scratch so as not to infringe on prior art) as hardware programs reaping benefits thereof. In other words we have discovered how to write all functions of a personal computer into ‘hardware programs’. This is evidenced and demonstrable via the available development system. See www.ecs-pc.com Frequently Asked Questions for more information . . .

The Humble© PC Development System features include – p/s2 mouse (3,4, 5 buttons) i/f, p/s2 multimedia keyboard (101,2,4) i/f, Dual ATA-6 ide (Hard Disk & CD-DVD-RW) i/f, Serial Port i/f (XModem, YModem, YModem Batch), 128G Compact Flash i/f, Floppy Disk i/f, 10/100/1000 Ethernet Phy, USB i/f, Linear Flash, 64|256MB SDRAM, 9|18Mb ZBT SRAM, Xilinx Virtex 4 FPGA, Calendar and Timekeeping program, Calculator program, FAT 32 File-Browser program, Point and Click Graphics, Triple DES keyed battery backup protected Non-Volatile Graphical Operating System, Support for user programs, Re-Programmability. Benefits of the Development System include – Practical alternative for all real-time and general purpose computing products, Hardware Unified Multiple Branch Logic Engine, Multiple simultaneous 100MByte conversations, Instant On|Off, 100s to 10,000s fold program execution speedup, Familiar Graphics, Point and Click User Interface, O/S and Programs immune from viruses, Seamless-Smooth-Fusion, and Lower power.

Applications include – Personal Computers (Xilinx Virtex FPGA center-stage), Cloud Computers, Re-programmable System on Chip (rSoC), Communications (e.g. Cellular and Internet Telephones), Networking (e.g. Routers, Servers), High Complexity Robotics, All in one Integrated Automotive control , All in one Integrated Multimedia, Set-top-boxes, Voice recognition (in) and synthesis (out), on chip compilers, algorithm accelerators (e.g. fpga place and route accelerator, Java bytecode, JIT, and ahead of time interpreters), and a plethora of other embedded applications.

Hence, we summarily describe it as — new, genuine, legitimate alternative, with very bare program suite, recognizable, useful, ready for general purpose application development, wide-open, humble and ‘a huge financial opportunity’.

Development systems and Licenses are now available. The cost to reuse (license) Humble© is 99 U.S. dollars. The cost of a development system is 5000 U.S. Dollars. Humble also refers to our approach toward business. For more information, see our website at www.ecs-pc.com and YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_v6IaD6-Ts Electronic Compute Systems, Inc. is a privately held corporation based in Towson, Maryland. ECS hopes to sell 10 development systems over the next year.

CIO Assessment Program Launched by Click Consulting

Click Consulting has created a new service helping small businesses understand the way that technology fits inside of their business, the CIO Assessment. After looking at the way technology was treated inside of their own client’s businesses, Click Consulting decided that they had to develop a system of connecting business goals and IT so that technology was no longer overhead but rather a driver of business.

“In today’s climate of tighter spending and shrinking margins, IT can become a true driver of business growth if the appropriate technologies are in place,” said Jeff Lenning, president, Click Consulting. “Our CIO Assessment program helps companies analyze their current situations and makes recommendations based on each company’s unique requirements. We keep up with the latest technologies so that our clients can focus on running their businesses.”

Most small businesses spend their time thinking about their business, not the technology that runs it. At the same time, most managed services companies just maintain the IT infrastructure without thinking about the business it exists within. Few IT service firms ever work with small businesses from a business perspective; instead everything becomes a maintenance issue so growth never occurs as a result of IT spending. Click Consulting decided that this downward spiral needed to stop.

The CIO Assessment process starts with in-depth interviews of major stakeholders and decision makers at the company to understand the business choices that are being made. Then, after a deep inspection of the technology currently used at the company, Click Consulting delivers a report complete with suggestions about how to better align technology and the business. The assessment becomes a roadmap, helping guide the growth and profits of the company over time.

About Click Consulting
Click Consulting is a full service IT and Web Development company based in Irvine, Calif. Focusing on small and growing companies, Click provides remote IT support, on-site tech support, self-managed websites, and fully custom web projects. Trusted by industry leading companies to manage their business critical networks and applications, Click Consulting specializes in Tech Support, Web Development and Computer Consulting.

Belden’s New Adaptive Enclosure Heat Containment System “Greens” The Data Center By Slashing Cooling Costs

Belden (NYSE: BDC), a world leader in the development of signal transmission products for industrial, enterprise, building management, broadcast, and security applications, has introduced a new adaptive enclosure heat containment (AEHC) system for data centers that will ensure the entire room is normalized with cold air to just the right amount, with no wasteful oversupply of cooling.

Carl Bruckner, General Manager of Belden’s Cable Management Group, states: “The AEHC system is a key addition to Belden’s enclosure products, allowing our partners to effectively manage the deployment of high density, high heat load equipment in both new and existing data centers.”

In the new Belden system, a pressure reading made by a sensor inside the enclosure plenum modulates the rotational speed of the fans in the two cartridges mounted atop the enclosure. The speed is varied so that they pull out exactly the correct amount of air from the enclosure and send it back to the air conditioner return via a ceiling plenum.

The process of cooling enclosures in a data center today wastes excessive amounts of energy, largely due to oversupply of cold air by computer room air conditioner (CRAC) units attempting to compensate inefficiency in the enclosure cooling process.

A recent study on 19 large computer rooms found that, on average, the amount of cold air supplied to a data center room is 2.6 times the amount of cold air actually consumed by the IT load. The CRAC is oversupplying the room with cold air to overcome both bypass leakage and the effects of hot/cold mixing. The result is a significant waste of energy and dollars.

However, because of its innovative heat containment design, the new Belden AEHC system overcomes these problems. Since it completely separates the hot and cold side of operations, the room will be normalized with cool air which never experiences mixing with exhaust heat from the enclosure. The bypass problem is eliminated, too.

There is no need to oversupply cold air to the room.

The physical position of the CRAC unit and its proximity to the enclosures are no longer a concern, a fact which greatly simplifies the challenge of data room infrastructure design. Cool air can be fed to the computer room via a raised floor or an overhead duct which enhances your freedom of infrastructure design.

When designing a totally new data center with the AEHC system, you can now install bigger and fewer CRAC units, instead of relying on many smaller units that are less efficient. And when retrofitting an existing room, you can use the same amount — and same type — of cooling equipment currently installed. In either scenario, Belden’s advanced management software will help you better control your IT environment by giving you real time assessment of enclosure cooling load or demand.

You will be able to deploy more IT load in the same room, a great efficiency benefit in today’s economy. If you have space left in your enclosures but aren’t deploying more devices there because your cooling system is already at full capacity, you can retrofit Belden’s new heat containment system on those enclosures that have the highest heat loads, to be able to host even more IT equipment.

As a bonus, the AEHC system increases the temperature differential between the inlet and outlet temperatures of the CRAC unit for much greater operational efficiency, giving you an important savings in energy consumption. With no mixing of hot and cold air, it is possible to raise the temperature of the cooling air supplied to enclosures to be closer to the ASHRAE recommended upper limit. The cold/hot air paths are fully separated by the system, so the CRAC supplies less air to the room at a higher temperature, and still assures better cooling with no hot spots.

Users Turn To Motivational Eco-Friendly Computer Accessory In Tough Economic Times

In these distressed economic times, Americans are turning to positive reinforcements to uplift and encourage them. Inlectronics Inc. has created an eco-friendly computer accessory to motivate and inspire its user by metaphysically attracting positive energy online, without wasting energy through batteries or electricity.

There are constant news stories about dwindling stocks, unemployment rise, foreclosed homes and investment scams. In tough economic times like these, most relate to products that are encouraging and able to impel them in some way. In their search for stimulating accessories, computer users buy peripheral that fits in with their personality. Environmentalists appreciate items that are eco-friendly and biodegradable. Inlectronics Inc. has taken a familiar symbol and combined these attributes to create an environmentally safe computer accessory they believe will motivate and inspire.

Known as the Yin Yang Webmaster™, this computer accessory is shaped like the highly recognized Tai Chi symbol, a perfect circle with two contrasting light and dark colors, symbolizing the creation of life together sustaining inside itself the essence of the opposite energy. According to Chinese philosophy, having a harmonious balance of both Yin and Yang Feng Shui energies will create the quality of energy needed to live a healthy and fulfilling life. Inlectronics Inc. has expanded on this concept and believes that Feng Shuiing ones online activities can lead to love, happiness, health, prosperity, knowledge, and success, all from their computer. Unlike other accessories, this peripheral glows in the dark without the use of batteries or electricity, and is safe for the planet.

“Equivalent to a rabbit’s foot or four leaf clover, it’s the 2009 version of a good luck charm,” according to Z. Wilson, Inlectronics Inc. President and CEO. “Years ago people enjoyed covering their dressers and desks with beanie babies and model cars. Within this era, it’s all about what looks good and works best with your computer.”

Made of ABS material, this 7¼” decorative peripheral, once attached to the desktop, laptop, notebook or PC, is intended to inspire its user to complete important tasks, as well as motivate individuals to fully accomplish their goals. Inlectronics Inc.’s motto of ‘Feng Shui your PC and fulfill your destiny’ is intended to stress this mission.

Although the Yin Yang Webmaster™ is sold to everyone, according to current sales, the majority of purchasers are men. Research shows that men recognize and respect the popular Yin Yang symbol. The company also believes the glow in the dark feature is an appealing aspect, as it beams brightly without batteries or electricity. Teens claim they like the Webmaster™ due to the recognizable symbol and unique features compared to other computer accessories. Women who have purchased the product have said they appreciate its eco-friendly and biodegradable qualities. Parents and educators have positively commented on the affordability and motivational aspect of the product.

Due to the faltering economy, Inlectronics Inc. has lowered the price of the Yin Yang Webmaster™ to $19.95, which includes free shipping and handling, applied only to the first 5,000 Webmasters™ sold.

Inlectronics Inc., creator of the Webmasters™ product line, is a pioneer in providing unique inspirational pieces that empower its users to balance the energies of their online activities. The company’s mission is to give Internet users a strong sense of identity and purpose, and to represent to the world at large an iconic image that identifies who they are and what they stand for. They service both the computer and electronic industry, as well as serve both the consumer and professional market. Although they maintain locations in Bronx, NY and New York, NY, their products are sold exclusively through their website.

Expansion of company’s SecureAuth authentication products fuels growth

MultiFactor Corporation, an innovator in 2-way 2-factor authentication, Web application security and SSL VPN Authentication solutions, announces record fourth quarter growth of its SecureAuth authentication products, despite the slumping global economy.

Thomas Stewart, CFO of MultiFactor Corporation stated, “Our recently completed Q4 ‘08 sales revenues maintained 300 percent quarter over quarter growth for the third consecutive quarter as enterprises and Web operators are increasingly adopting SecureAuth as a superior authentication method for SSL VPN, IPsec VPN, and secure Web applications. We are very happy with our ‘08 results and our projections for 2009 are strong.”

A contributing factor to SecureAuth’s continued market growth was the addition in the third and fourth quarter of native integration into Juniper SSL VPN products, CA’s SiteMinder and the IBM Tivoli Security Products. This complements very strong adoption for SecureAuth with Cisco ASA SSL VPNs, Microsoft Outlook Web Access, Microsoft SharePoint Server and all .NET applications. New customers were drawn to the automated simplicity of a truly strong dual factor authentication scheme. SecureAuth’s low acquisition cost and minimal implementation burden provided added incentive to move forward.

“Security concerns have not subsided due to the economic downturn,” said Craig Lund, CEO of MultiFactor Corporation. “On the contrary, threats are increasing and rendering legacy authentication methods practically obsolete. SecureAuth’s novel technology allows companies to have the strongest authentication without the large capital investment.”

“In these times, we are fortunate to be operating in the relatively resilient sector of IT security,” added Lund. “However, we are even more fortunate to have a product with a price/performance value far superior to any competitive or substitutive technology.”

About MultiFactor Corporation
MultiFactor Corporation is the leader in automated 2-way 2-factor user authentication. SecureAuth is a true plug-n-play multi-factor authentication mechanism that allows secure access into the enterprise network and application resources.
