“We hope that by exposing the Digital Pharma audience to this new platform– and making the event free to attend – we can really cement the Digital Pharma brand in the eyes of digital marketers in the pharmaceutical industry. The content being presented at our events has always been innovative, educational and highly valuable…and now it’s accessible to just about anyone. It’s a major step forward for our brand,” said Jason Youner, Director of the Digital Pharma event series.

While exploring the virtual conference space, attendees will be able to listen in on presentations from a number of the industry’s leading decision-makers. Key presentations will cover topics ranging from digital marketing tips for brand managers and social media strategy to best practices for setting up an analytics framework for multi-channel marketing plans.

Wert Italia to Develop Sales for Falco-Security Video Alarm Systems

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 04:23 AM PDT

Milan, Italy, April 20, 2011 –(PR.com)– Wert will partner with Falco Security solutions to develop market penetration to some countries, including Italy and some Eastern European areas.

Falco Security is a recently established company specializing in wireless surveillance systems for the home and small office market segments.

Key features of Falco’s solutions is their ability to merge both traditional alarm and video surveillance systems into one individual solution. That’s where the wording "falco" comes from, being falco the English equivalent of "hawk."

Falco products take advantage of innovative wireless passive infrared sensors, integrating a VGA color camera and related 2.4 GHz transmission link. Daylight or night pictures captured by the sensor can be sent via MMS or email. Image capture can be triggered by an alarm event or upon a remote wireless request by the user.

"Such products are usually marketed through the networking/telephony installers and value added resellers channels," Wert spokesman said, "and then perfectly fit into current Wert’s sales channels. Additionally, Falco’s solutions provide a deal of technology and innovative advantage against the current offer of low quality/poor featured products."

According to the partnership agreement, Wert will develop sales and pursue business opportunities in the territory of Italy at a first stage, with an option to focus on some Eastern European countries in the near future.

Former spy Fred Leiser is lured back from retirement to investigate, and manages to cross the border into East Germany in a dangerous night-time operation. But the world has changed since The Department’s glory days during the Second World War. The harsh realities of the Cold War now prevail, and there is no place for heroes…. With a distinguished cast including Ian McDiarmid and Philip Jackson, this compelling dramatisation perfectly captures the atmosphere of le Carre’s chilling novel of deception and betrayal.”

New USB Cables Combine Latching Technology with Zero-Halogen Cable

L-com, Inc., a global leader in the manufacture of wired and wireless connectivity products, has combined latching USB cable technology with low-smoke, zero-halogen cable to create its new CAUZALAL-xx and CAUZALB-xx products. The new products are ideal for military/aerospace applications where vibration is an issue because unlike standard USB connectors which rely on a friction fit, the latching connectors provide lock down mating retention with any USB Type-A jack.

North Andover, MA (PRWEB) April 20, 2011

Kors Engineering Releases Free Tool to Create a Data Feed Leveraging Tridium Niagara AX and Pachube Website

Kors Engineering has developed an easy to use application that allows users of Tridium Niagara AX framework technology to leverage Pachube.com to monitor data streams from remote facilities.

Waterford, MI (PRWEB) April 20, 2011

Kors Engineering, a premier service provider for manufacturing and industrial organizations announced today the availability of a free tool that allows any user of the Tridium Niagara AX framework to easily export data streams to the cloud through Pachube, a real-time, software as a service (SaaS)-based data management infrastructure.

Pachube provides services to store and access real-time data streams via a robust application programming interface (API), providing the means for developers to power applications for the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things refers to the concept of the networked interconnection of everyday objects to drive informed decision making through pervasive data access.

Exporting data from the Tridium Niagara AX framework, Kors Engineering created an object that streams the data to Pachube. Once a data feed is created in Pachube, updating it with Niagara AX takes only a couple of simple configuration parameters. The application options are limited only by the data captured through the Niagara AX Framework.

One practical use to consider is monitoring energy and facilities. To view a simple example of monitoring a facility browse to http://www.pachube.com/feeds/17600 to review current facility information at the Kors Engineering offices.

"This is an easy-to-configure, free application that provides a tremendous value to those using the Tridium Niagara AX Framework," said Kors Engineering President Tony Kaczmarek. "The options to export and monitor data have never been more simple to access and leverage."

"Pachube provides a way for developers interfacing with Tridium to get their data up into the cloud where it can be mashed up and manipulated with rich web services across the internet," said Usman Haque, CEO of Pachube. "Once the barriers are removed for open collaboration across industries, the truly innovative applications will surface. We are facilitating that transition here with Kors Engineering."

Monico, Inc. Participates in Caterpillar® Fracturing Truck Project

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 01:01 AM PDT

Monico, Inc. Participates in Caterpillar® Fracturing Truck Project

Monico Inc. was selected by Caterpillar® to provide the control and monitoring interface gateways for a fracturing truck project in Texas

Houston, TX (PRWEB) April 20, 2011

Recently, Monico was selected by Caterpillar® to provide the control and monitoring interface gateways for a fracturing truck project in Texas. Caterpillar® will be using CAT 3512 diesel engines with new CAT TH55 electronic transmissions. Monico has a long-standing, unique and successful history with this application, and were thus the obvious choice to partner with Caterpillar® for this 20 engine project.

The engines pump fluid down-hole into the shale formations, putting massive fractures in the shale rock formations and allowing the natural gas to be extracted. Operationally, this is a tough service on engines and transmissions. Because of this, Monico is implementing a new feature offered by CAT called Kickout to Neutral. This feature allows for safety settings for each transmission gear. If certain outlet pressures are achieved, the transmission will automatically shift into neutral and protect the engine and pump components.

Monico is also providing control inputs via our J1939 Gateway for torque converter lockup, engine start/stop in both normal and emergency mode and speed control. The unique ability to provide multiple pre-configured solutions for simultaneous integration via Modbus or direct integration with Allen Bradley, GE Fanuc, Siemens, and Omron PLC control systems made Monico an easy choice to help with the Caterpillar® project. Monico's ability to quickly implement proprietary PGNs that are specific to Caterpillar® in these operations sealed the deal.

This effort between Caterpillar® and Monico, Inc builds our expertise on applications done previously for Freemeyer Industrial Pressure. In fact, Monico has also shipped a follow-on order for 26 more engine systems to Freemeyer for almost identical applications. With new government regulations forcing more companies to partner in the building of frac trucks, we expect the orders to continue.

About Monico Monitoring, Inc.

Monico Inc. is known worldwide for providing superior communications products and technical assistance. Caterpillar® Dealers and system integreators worldwide utilize Monico products with confidence because of Monico's reputation for hassle-free end-user support.

2d3 Sensing Rolls Out Full Motion Video Storage and Dissemination Suite, Catalina

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 01:00 AM PDT

2d3 Sensing Rolls Out Full Motion Video Storage and Dissemination Suite, Catalina

Catalina Implements 2d3 Vision Science Solutions into Server Side Architectures

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) April 20, 2011

2d3 Sensing, a leading provider of vision science solutions for industrial, defense, and entertainment applications, announced the release of Catalina at the SPIE 2011 Defense and Security conference, April 25-29 in Orlando, Florida at booth #1524. Catalina is a server-side software solution that provides video storage and retrieval tools along with remote access and on the fly streaming to enhancement and exploitation tools such as 2d3 TacitView via a centralized server.

Catalina is the bridge between sensor and analyst. No matter where collection assets are deployed Catalina provides core capabilities that will project motion imagery and related metadata into the eyes of decision makers.

Key Features:

Capture and Storage – Catalina reaches out all the way to the sensor edge so that any video stream can be digitized and securely stored. Frame accurate search tools allow all users get to exactly the information needed without needing to screen hours of tape.
Exploitation—Leveraging 2d3's TacitView Suite for server and client-side image processing, enhancement and exploitation tools will be accessible from any computer or viewing device on the network.
Enhancement—Image stabilization, super resolution, spectrum optimization, FMV mosaicing, wide baseline mosaicing, image to image registration and matching, terrain generation, optical character recognition, de-interlacing, scene Mensuration, and image geo-registration. You may only get one chance to capture the right imagery, so you need to ensure you can squeeze every drop of information from it.
Interoperability – Capitalizing on the work of the Motion Imagery Standards Board, Catalina produces MISP Compliant Streams—metadata contained in the input stream is preserved and available in file or stream formats. Where older systems do not comply with standards, existing metadata formats will be converted to ensure seamless interoperability.
Enterprise Database—acquisition, tagging, storage and retrieval of imagery and metadata, allowing multiple users to tag, search, retrieve and compile imagery and data. Delivered by default built on a Windows server 2008 / SQL server architecture.
Multiple Bitrate Support—Choose high or low bitrate streams to accommodate various networks and viewing devices.

"Catalina has been delivered in response to customers needing to leverage a high performance server side imagery management and exploitation system. Catalina provides enterprise quality capture and storage capabilities which also allows distributed streams of imagery and metadata to multiple users simultaneously," explained Jon Damush, President, 2d3. "Government spending is changing, and COTS technologies are going to increasingly provide the government with cutting edge technologies at off-the-shelf prices. Catalina is an example of what can be produced in the commercial space at a commercial pace."

New Release of SWING PDF Converter for Lotus Notes

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 01:00 AM PDT

New Release of SWING PDF Converter for Lotus Notes

SWING Software has just released the latest version of SWING PDF Converter – a software tool for Lotus Notes email and document archiving, sharing and web printing.

(PRWEB) April 20, 2011

The new version introduces advanced features including PDF/A for email/document archiving; exporting Notes field values to PDF metadata; flexible headers and footers, and improved conversion fidelity.

What does make SWING PDF Converter unique?

First, SWING PDF Converter is created specifically for Lotus Notes documents and emails. This means that Lotus Notes users can convert single or multiple emails/documents, together with file attachments, so all the information including the original layout is preserved. Moreover, users can select any number of documents and create a single PDF file – a searchable package that looks just like a view in Lotus Notes.

Second, SWING PDF Converter does not require client installations as it is not a virtual printer driver. It can be installed as a standard Notes application on a Domino server. Then, administrators can easily deploy PDF smart icons by sending an email to end-users. The key configuration settings are still maintained centrally.

Third, application developers can use the product's LotusScript API or Java API by including the product libraries into their Notes/Domino applications. They can choose to run the conversion either on the Notes client or on the Domino server.

Finally, the new version introduces advanced features including PDF/A for email/document archiving; exporting Notes field values to PDF metadata; flexible headers and footers; and improved conversion fidelity.

Here are some usage scenarios:

Export from Lotus Notes: Companies use SWING PDF Converter when they want to extract existing content from Lotus Notes databases. PDF is the format of choice for documents and emails, especially when the original Lotus Notes document layout needs to be preserved.

Email archiving: PDF and PDF/A provide long-term retention of emails and documents, independently of email servers and specific platform. These archives can be viewed or printed on any computer by authorized users. Some organizations will be storing the resulting individual PDFs into their content repositories, together with metadata. Others will rather be using the PDF Converter's ability to convert entire email folders into a compact PDF package – a single file that consists of searchable views, emails and file attachments, to simplify search and retrieval in the future.

Mone-y.com Launches Seven Day Home Biz Success Video Bootcamp

Mone-y.com Launches Seven Day Home Biz Success Video Bootcamp

More people now than ever are looking for a home based business thanks to the economic turmoil of the past several years. This one of a kind opportunity is sure to turn some heads.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (PRWEB) April 20, 2011

Chris Curtis just launched Mone-y.com, a free informational resource for home business professionals, or those looking to start a home based business of their own.

Most people who try to start a home business fail. It isn't because they do not want to succeed or have the drive to do what it takes. It is because of information overload. There is so much information out there on the Internet and a lot of it is nothing but hype. That is the nature of the world we live in. When people go to Google to look for information about starting a home business or ideas on how to market their business, they end up with literally tens of thousands of results.

http://mone-y.com

Chris decided to simplify the process by putting together a simple, easy to follow blueprint that can be applied to any home based business. The Home Biz Success Video Bootcamp is designed with the average person in mind. The videos are full of valuable information and content. The course is free and it is not filled with hype.

Chris said "There has never been a better time to start a home business because more people now than ever are looking for a way to secure their family's financial future. That is why the industry is being flooded right now. I just don't want to see people fail when it is so easy to succeed. The problem is the lack of quality information. That is why I put together the Mone-y.com Home Biz Success Video Bootcamp."

Chris has built teams of thousands of people using unconventional, out of the box marketing strategies and now he is ready to share those strategies with the world.

Chris also had this to say "I never in a million years thought I would be able to earn a full time income that most people dream of from home. The key to my success is making my business about helping other people. That is the secret sauce. It seems like the more people I help, the more success I have. That is what the Bootcamp is about. It is all about helping people."

Mone-y.com just launched on April 15 and the Home Biz Success Video Bootcamp is available to anyone seriously considering starting a home business. There is no guarantee of success in anything and hype is over rated. Chris believes that anything worth while requires effort. That is why he has made this course available to anyone who wants it.

Celebrate Earth Month at Hotel Felix Chicago

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 12:59 AM PDT

Celebrate Earth Month at Hotel Felix Chicago

Hotel Felix, Chicago's first eco-friendly hotel, hosts eco-friendly activities and events throughout Earth Month.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 20, 2011

Hotel Felix, located at 111 W. Huron St., helps travelers "stay green" all year long and Earth Month is a time to celebrate. Throughout April, Chicago's first eco-chic hotel offers a variety of complimentary, eco-friendly activities and art exhibits for guests and Chicagoans alike.

On April 1, Hotel Felix kicked off Earth Month with NBC's Environmental Reporter Ginger Zee unveiling the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design™ (LEED) Silver certification for commercial interiors from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

"With a gathering of more than 50 Chicago dignitaries and eco-community leaders, we're honored to be recognized as Chicago's first hotel to earn this prestigious distinction," said George Jordan, general manager of the Hotel Felix Chicago.

The green party continues all month long at Hotel Felix with a green-themed schedule of Earth Month activities, including:

Put the [Green] Pedal to the [Green] Metal: All-electric Tesla Roadster and eco-friendly Hotel Felix continue their eco-partnership with an exclusive "Tesla Test Drive" package (http://www.hotelfelixchicago.com/hotel-packages/index.cfm). Speedsters beware: the Tesla Roadster is the world's only highway-capable electric car that is faster than a Porsche and greener than a Prius. The high-performance vehicle doesn't use a drop of gas and accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. Guests who post photos on Hotel Felix's Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/hotelfelix) of their test drive experience, either inside or outside of the car, will receive a complimentary test drive the next time they stay at Hotel Felix. During Earth Week, Chicagoans and guests are invited to check out the Tesla Roadster, which will be parked outside Hotel Felix from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m., April 18.

Eco-Art Exhibit: If life imitates art than Hotel Felix imitates green art. From April 18 – May 5, guests can view and enjoy an art exhibit in the lobby from 360SEE Gallery. The sustainable artists, Curtis Frillmann and Brian Mock, specialize in museum-quality art, furniture and design objects. After May 5, the sustainable art show returns home to 360SEE Gallery (http://www.360seegallery.com).

A Green Queen Arrives: What stands at 8-feet tall, has a heart of tin, a hard booty and makes doughnuts in the morning? Doreen! She's the perfect "woman" and the newest, interactive sculpture from reclaimed materials. Doreen will be unveiled at Hotel Felix at 11 a.m., April 22 (Earth Day), where she'll then have her permanent home. Allen Christian, the sustainable artist behind the sculpture, will unveil this new masterpiece. Doreen joins "Loren the Doorman," who stands at 7-feet tall, as the newest addition to Hotel Felix' staff. Doreen and Loren are two hard-to-miss sustainable sculptures, both created by Christian of House of Balls (http://www.houseofballs.com).

More about Hotel Felix

As Chicago's first hotel designed to meet LEED Silver certification, Hotel Felix (111 W. Huron) delivers an enriching experience that not only benefits the guests, but the environment as well.

Omni West Group, Inc. Partners with HG Capital to Purchase JFK Medical Plaza in the Inland Empire from Tenet Healthcare

Joint Venture Acquires JFK Medical Plaza and Plans to Develop Future Medical Building in Bermuda Dunes, CA

Bermuda Dunes, CA (PRWEB) April 20, 2011

Omni West Group, Inc., a Laguna Hills, CA based real estate services firm that specializes in developing and managing commercial properties, and HG Capital, LLC (HG), a Menlo Park, CA based real estate investment group formed a joint venture that acquired an existing medical office building (MOB) situated on four acres in Bermuda Dunes, CA.

JFK Medical Plaza, and adjacent land for future MOB development, were purchased from national healthcare delivery services company Tenet Healthcare. The existing building is a two-story 30,000 square-foot MOB with tenants including Laboratory Corporation of America and Desert Oasis Healthcare, the largest regional healthcare group in Coachella Valley. Managing Director Guy Ponticiello of Jones Lang LaSalle represented Tenet Healthcare in the sale.

The adjacent parcel of land will accommodate a second phase, comprising a 30,000 square-foot MOB on the four-acre campus setting. The new phase will provide additional space for medical professionals including imaging, orthopedic, physical therapy and other ancillary services.

"JFK Medical Plaza is in a prime location on Washington Street, a major artery running through the Coachella Valley," said Kip Dubbs, President of Omni West Group. "With a large number of gated retirement communities nearby and a growing need for high quality healthcare, the campus is ideally situated to meet the community demand for medical services."

JFK Medical Plaza is located in Bermuda Dunes, adjacent to Palm Desert and 10 miles east of Palm Springs off the I-10 freeway and Washington Street. Many doctors in the building are on the medical staff at JFK Memorial Hospital, a 156-bed acute care hospital that has provided medical services to the community since 1966. The hospital is located approximately seven miles from the site. Tenet Healthcare owns JFK Memorial Hospital in Indio and manages Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs.

Linda Evans, Director of Physician & Community Development at JFK Memorial Hospital said, "Omni West Group has an opportunity to utilize its healthcare expertise to develop another medical office building on the adjacent land to expand local medical services in one convenient location. Also, having a tenant like Desert Oasis at the JFK Medical Plaza will attract physicians and other healthcare services to the facility."

Staten Island-based audio visual designer and installer helps customers reduce their carbon footprint.

When someone says "green company," audio visual and control systems integrators may not be the first business that comes to mind.

But Staten Island-based JD Systems, (http://www.jdsystems.tv) serving the New York tri-state area for audio video systems design and installation, are as passionate about helping their customers conserve energy as they are about high-quality sound and crystal clear video.

JD Systems Attends Staten Island Green & Clean Expo

In March 2011, JD Systems attended the Green & Clean Expo presented by the Staten Island Economic Development Corporation. The systems installer demonstrated Crestron's whole home control systems and commercial control solutions to Staten Island business owners and individuals interested in reducing their carbon footprint through green technology.

A digital signage system employing four Energy Star-rated Samsung LED monitors provided booth visitors with energy-saving tips for their homes and businesses. By offering this information digitally, JD Systems demonstrated its own eco-conscious philosophy by foregoing conventional paper fliers and saving trees.

Bartlett Lodge Acquires a Unique Piece of Canadian History

Bartlett Lodge Acquires a Unique Piece of Canadian History

Bartlett Lodge, an award winning eco-friendly Algonquin Park resort, has acquired a log cottage owned by Canadian painter and philanthropist Isabel McLaughlin. To be erected at Bartlett Lodge this May and June, "The Cabin" will be a guest lounge and will include 2 rooms available for Bartlett guest accommodations.

Algonquin Park, Ontario (PRWEB) April 20, 2011

Bartlett Lodge (http://www.bartlettlodge.com), an award winning eco-friendly cottage resort located within Algonquin Provincial Park, has acquired a unique piece of Canadian History. A log cottage owned by Canadian painter, patron and philanthropist Isabel McLaughlin will be erected at Bartlett Lodge this May and June. "The Cabin", as Isabel called, it will be a guest lounge and will include two rooms available for Bartlett guest accommodations.

Isabel McLaughlin, born October 10, 1903, was one of 5 daughters of Col. R.S. McLaughlin of Oshawa, Ontario. "Colonel Sam" was the founder of General Motors of Canada. Isabel studied in Paris at the Sorbonne in her late teens and then at the Ontario College of Art under Group of Seven member, Arthur Lismer and artist Yvonne McKague Housser. Isabel counted many famous Canadian Artists among her friends. She traveled with Lawren and Bess Harris, entertained A.Y. Jackson at "The Cabin" and worked closely with Prudence Heward, Anne Savage and other members of the Beaver Hall Group of Painters.

Isabel McLaughlin was an attractive, talented, popular and wealthy woman who chose to remain unmarried. Her independence gave her time to travel and participate in many arts organizations. In 1933 she helped found the Canadian Group of Painters and served as President in 1939. Throughout her life, she made donations to many charities and provided financial support to other artists. Isabel was one of very few Canadians to receive both the Order of Ontario in 1993 and The Order of Canada in 1997. Isabel died in Toronto on November 26, 2002 at age of 99.

Although the origin of the Isabel McLaughlin cabin that Bartlett Lodge is reassembling on their Algonquin Park resort property is unknown, the large white pine logs used to construct "The Cabin" were found in the Muskoka, Algonquin Park and Ottawa Valley area. It was probably built in one of those areas between 1840 and 1870. Isabel McLaughlin had the building moved and re-erected just north of Toronto on a rural property she owned in Aurora, Ontario. "The Cabin" became a popular place for Isabel to entertain her artist friends. Her personal papers contain references to visits at "The Cabin" with Lawren and Bess Harris, A.Y. Jackson, Arthur Lismer and Yvonne McKague Housser. The original building had a glass solarium at the back where Isabel would paint and entertain.

Bartlett Lodge has a long history accommodating visitors to Algonquin Park. Located on Cache Lake the lodge was first open 1917. Over the years, the lodge fell into disrepair until present owners Kim and Marilyn Smith purchased the historic log cabin resort and transformed it into the charming Algonquin Park resort that it is today. The Smith's vision for Bartlett Lodge was to preserve as much as they could of the lodge's past, while adding modern day amenities and protecting the future by introducing state-of- the-art energy saving technology and environmentally sustainable practices. The addition of "The Cabin" blends in nicely with Bartlett's policy of preserving the past for future generations.

"In keeping with our commitment to sustainable tourism, we have chosen to re-erect, or if you prefer, recycle this historic building. The floor of the building and the roof boards are re-used wood taken from a church in Nova Scotia. More than 80% of "The Cabin" is built with recycled material," says Kim Smith. The Smiths are thrilled with the acquisition of Isabel McLaughlin cabin and to be able to offer their resort guests the opportunity to stay in this historic cabin. "We invite past and future guests to stay with us and enjoy our latest addition to Bartlett Lodge," adds Smith.

About Bartlett Lodge:

Eco-friendly Bartlett Lodge offers exceptional lakefront cottage rentals, luxury canopy tent accommodations and fine dining in a pristine wilderness setting. Located within the borders of world famous Algonquin Provincial Park, Bartlett Lodge is a Modified American Plan cottage resort, acclaimed for its commitment to the environment and famous for its exceptional dining room.
