Goal! New iPad App Released for Scouting Womens Lacrosse

San Rafael, CA (PRWEB) November 17, 2011

It took West Shore Technologies' SportsBoard Scout only a few months to make an impact on the sport of mens lacrosse. Now the revolutionary iPad application designed to streamline the arduous tasks of scouting and talent assessment is ready for the womens game. Today, West Shore Technologies announces the release of Lacrosse Scout for Women, and prominent womens coaches at all levels are signing up.

Todays Problem

Most coaches record assessment data on clipboards or in binders and then (1) cant read what they wrote, (2) arent able to write down everything they observe, (3) arent able to easily take photos and link them to the data for each player, (4) dont have time to put the data into a spreadsheet or database for more thorough analysis, and (5) cant look at historical data about a players performance over a multi-year period.

The Solution

SportsBoard Lacrosse Scout provides lacrosse coaches with metric categories including Stick, Speed, Defensive Strength, Offensive Strength and Intangibles, as well as features for capturing text notes, voicememos, profile pictures and photos, and footage. Coaches can rate the players on a +/neutral/- or 1-5 basis for any of the metrics during or after the assessment event. Lacrosse Scout automatically syncs the data to West Shore Technologies secure server on the internet where the coaches can login to review and analyze data for decision-making purposes.

It will streamline our recruiting data and allow us to spend more time on other aspects of coaching, said Amy Bokker, Womens Lacrosse Head Coach at Stanford University. The thought of not having to re-enter notes from binders and packets from recruiting events makes this so worth it.

West Shore Technologies used SportsBoard Lacrosse Scout, which it created for mens lacrosse as a foundation, and then incorporated unique features into it that are unique to the womens form of the game.

Jay Cooney, our Womens Soccer Assistant Head Coach who is using SportsBoard Soccer Scout, introduced us to West Shore and Lacrosse Scout, continued Bokker. Lacrosse Scout, at that time, was clearly designed for the Mens game; but West Shore took the time to listen to our needs, incorporate them into that product, and create a completely separate p product for us. Thats service.

Global Fuses and Circuit Breakers Market to Reach US$14.2 Billion by 2017, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 08, 2011

Follow us on LinkedIn - A part of the power protection devices industry, fuses and circuit breakers are critical components in distribution grids designed and developed to offer protection against unexpected power outages resulting from overload, short circuits/fault currents, and/or ground fault. Fuses and circuit breakers are indispensable not only in transmission and distribution of electric power, but virtually every product that utilizes electrical energy such as automobiles, consumer electronics, computers, telecommunication /data communication circuits, handheld devices, and industrial equipment and machinery. These devices are sophisticated in their internal construction and make use of electrical, magnetic, mechanical, chemical and thermal processes to achieve the desired characteristics. With increased deployment of electrical and electronic equipments, the demand for power protection devices including circuit breakers and fuses gained momentum over the last decade. And with issues relating to stable power supply still continuing to irk industries/businesses worldwide, demand is forecast to continue its steady growth into the future. Other factors poised to prop up growth in the market include the buoyant telecommunications industry worldwide, continued expansion in the use of personal computers and other technologically advanced electronic devices, and the relatively higher level of consumer awareness in developed markets, among others.

The financial crisis led world economic recession during the period 2007-2009, left the fuses and circuit breakers market hurting. Fall in the business confidence index, bleeding corporate balance sheets, enterprise skepticism over infrastructure investments, tight liquidity/financial constraints, lack of credit availability, high borrowing rates and capital shortages to fund new investments in telecommunications, IT infrastructure, plants and equipment, together shaved off approximately US$ 1.1 billion in market value between the period 2007 and 2009. Diminished manufacturing and commercial activity and the resulting declines in manufacturing output and industrial production reduced demand for electrical machinery, resulting in weakening demand for fuses and circuit breakers.

The construction end-use sector recorded the steepest fall in demand for fuses and circuit breakers. Cancellation, postponement, and general weakness in new office, commercial and residential building projects as a result of lack of credit and rising vacancy rates, and sharp falls in the number of applications for new building permits, and cost cutting among commercial establishments, and companies, played instrumental roles in negatively impacting demand. Plant closures, capacity idling, scaling back of operating capacity reduced opportunities for fuses and circuit breakers in automotive/transportation end-use sector, where they are used widely in conjunction with numerous high current automotive electronic components/devices/circuits, such as, engine, power windows, climate control systems, sunroofs, heater circuits, power door locks, air conditioning, among others. In the industrial end-use sector, sharp declines in manufacturing activity and lower cash inflows, reduced the focus, although temporarily, on industrial process automation which typically generates demand for power protection devices. The unfavorable market climate trickled down to fuses and circuit breakers, which are indispensable electrical components used in all electronic industrial machinery/equipment. Demand for fuses and circuit breakers in the energy related application market also declined in line with the deterioration in the health of the energy generation sector. Slowdown in electricity demand elicited erosions in sales of switchgears and components, such as, fuses and circuit breakers.

Looking beyond the recent economic turbulence, there is still a lot of untapped potential in the fuses and circuit breakers market, especially MCCB and high power fuses power segments. Key drivers for medium- and high-voltage fuses and circuit breakers include the rising energy consumption, rapid build-out of renewable energy, and the need to upgrade/retrofit grid assets in both developed and developing regions. Post recession, growth is already recovering given that the goal towards establishing a comprehensive power infrastructure has and will continue to remain vital to most governments across the globe. The evolution of smart grids and the resulting focus on reducing energy losses and enhancing efficiency will offer ample opportunities for growth of fuses and circuit breakers in the upcoming years. Besides that demand from commercial and industrial buildings, such as office, hotels, hospitals, shopping malls, condominiums; the increasing consumption of electricity; and resurgence in business climate will aid growth of low voltage fuses and circuit breakers.

As stated by the new market research report, the US and Asia-Pacific account for a major share of the global Fuses and Circuit Breakers market. While growth in the developed markets begin to tame down, developing markets will drive future growth guided by rapid industrialization, expansion of manufacturing, industrial and transportation industry, and continuous shifting of productions bases to low cost developing countries. By segment, Circuit Breakers is the largest contributor to global market revenues. Global market revenues for Fuses are expected to surge at a CAGR of 5.9% over the analysis period. Demand for medium- and high-voltage power fuses and fuse links in the post recession period will surge at the faster rate in line with rebound in construction activity in non-residential and electric power markets. High-power fuses, which extensively depend on the electric utilities market, will experience rapid gains as a result of massive subsidies being doled out to power utilities. Renewable energy sector will also throw up opportunities supported by rising adoption of high-power fuses to protect the step-up transformers in wind farm projects.

Major players in the global marketplace include ABB Group, Bel Fuse Inc, Bourns Inc, Carling Technologies Inc, Cooper Industries Ltd, E-T-A ElektroTechnische Apparate GmbH, Eaton Corporation, Fuji Electric Co Ltd, General Electric Company, Hitachi Ltd, Hubbell Power Systems Inc, Littelfuse Inc, Mersen, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Powell Industries Inc, Schneider Electric SA, Sensata Technologies Inc, Siemens AG, SPD Electrical Systems Inc, Tyco Electronics Corporation, among others.

The research report titled Fuses and Circuit Breakers: A Global Strategic Business Report announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a comprehensive review of market trends, issues, drivers, company profiles, mergers, acquisitions and other strategic industry activities. The report provides market estimates and projections (US$ Millions) for major geographic markets including the US, Canada, Japan, Europe, AsiaPacific (excluding Japan), Middle East and Latin America. Key segments analyzed include Fuses, and Circuit Breakers.

Appointment-Plus Online Scheduling Calendars Make the Grade at Colleges, Universities This Fall Semester

Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) August 09, 2011

Its that time of year when new and current students begin returning in droves to their respective college, university, community college, technical school or other institute of higher learning. Many of these students will be scheduling appointments and sessions with their academic advisors, counselors, professors and tutors, which oftentimes create an administrative nightmare for offices, departments and staff ill-prepared to handle this influx of new meeting times and dates, especially those that do not offer an easy and quick way for students to schedule without having to pick up the phone and call in their appointments. For the hundreds of educational institutions from coast to coast that rely on Appointment-Plus online scheduler calendar, this tedious and time-consuming task will be simplified and improved for both administrators and students alike.

As the leading provider of online scheduling calendars for higher-education institutions since 2001, Appointment-Plus provides the Web-based tools these groups need to automate, streamline and improve their scheduling processes.

Clemson University
Colorado State University
University of Alabama-Huntsville
University of Colorado

Automated e-mail and text message reminders sent prior to scheduled appointment or reservation time.
Robust record-keeping and reporting options for managing appointment and student contact information.
E-marketing solutions through iContact for communicating with students on pertinent and timely issues.

Todays college student is very tech-savvy and expects that certain tasks such as scheduling an appointment can be done online, adds La Loggia. Our scheduling system gives campus departments and offices an easy and affordable way to offer this.

Appointment-Plus makes it easy for college offices and departments to offer online self-scheduling to its students by providing them with their own unique URL link to their online scheduler calendar. They can then place this link or Appointment-Plus-provided Schedule Now button on their Web site, Facebook or other social media site, newsletter, e-mail or other communication methods. Once the student books his or her appointment or reservation, the appointment calendar software does the rest without any additional action from the administrator or staff.

Pricing starts at $ 39 per month, with no long-term contracts required. All signups receive a complementary training session with a professional set-up coach during their 15-day free trial period.

Managing your students appointments need not be a grueling task for you and your staff, La Loggia continues. Appointment-Plus gets an A+ in helping colleges, universities, community colleges and technical schools improve this process and offer a fantastic service to both staff and students alike.

Literature Release: Queen of Misfortune - a Lady Jane Grey Novel by Peter Carroll

Greenfield, MA (PRWEB) February 17, 2011

Copperhill Media (http://www.copperhillmedia.com) announces its newest literature release, "Queen of Misfortune," a Lady Jane Grey novel by Peter Carroll.

The book is available in all good bookstores including Amazon.Com, Amazon.co.uk, and Barnes & Noble. For more information on the book, the author, and ordering information see http://www.frogenyozurt.com/guest-writers/peter-carroll/

"Queen Of Misfortune" is the fictional story of Lady Jane Grey as told by her beloved tutor, John Aylmer. At the time of her execution a stranger is recorded to have assisted her when, blind folded, she lost her way upon the scaffold. Was it the same 'stranger' who was also recorded to have visited her when she was imprisoned in the Tower? Little is known of this unfortunate girl who was beheaded for treason in the 16th Century. She was only 16. She is omitted from the list of monarchs but was actually queen for nine days. Following extensive research Peter Carroll attempted to put this to rights in this story filled with love and passion.

It follows John Aylmer's close relationship with Jane as her tutor and later, as she grows up, her lover. It shows how the Duke of Northumberland uses her as a pawn in a devious plan to dupe her into reluctantly accepting the throne against her better judgment, and the torment she suffers in consequence culminating in her early death and that of Guildford Dudley, the husband she was forced to marry. Her strict upbringing and the abuse given by her parents at her home in Bradgate is also cause for concern for John Aylmer and her nurse, Mary Ellen. Starting and ending with the execution in the Tower and the belief she was buried at Bradgate, John Aylmer revives his cherished memories...

About the Author:

Peter Carroll has written several short stories, poems and many articles on variable subjects for newspapers and Magazines, his favorite subject being history. Queen of Misfortune is his first novel, a fiction piece which involved intensive research and took three years to complete. Born in Barnet, England in July 1933 and with a standard education, he was called up into the RAF in 1951 and served five years as a medic. Since then, until his retirement, he has mainly been involved in accounting and running his own business with his son. Like a cat with nine lives he has survived an air crash, a lift fall and a serious aortic aneurysm and thanks his Karma faith for that. He now lives in beautiful Torbay in South Devon, has been married to Daphne for over fifty years, and they have two children and four grandchildren.

Review by Wilfried F. Voss, Author of "The Bleeding Hills:"

I had the distinct privilege, besides the author and his editor, to be the first to read Queen of Misfortune, and I have to admit I was not prepared for the deep emotions that came with reading Peter Carrolls novel. Not only is Carrolls excellent writing style absolutely captivating, but he also manages to convey with ease the intense feelings of love, joy, pain, and grief.

As the sub-title (Life is but a rehearsal for our everlasting love, my dear Lady Jane Grey) indicates, Queen of Misfortune is not merely a Lady Jane Grey Novel; it is a story of true and unconditional love with almost Shakespearean dimensions. Romeo and Juliet comes to mind.

There is little recorded history of Lady Jane Grey who, against her will, was declared Queen of England for a short nine days. After all, she was executed at the very young age of sixteen as ordered by Queen Mary I, also known as Bloody Mary. It also seems that any records of her life such as pictures and letters were methodically destroyed shortly after her death. All portraits of her, available these days, were painted decades and centuries after her demise.

More is known about her beloved tutor, John Aylmer, who studied at Queen's College in Cambridge and in 1549 became tutor to the 12-year old Lady Jane Grey. She found in him the opposite to her strict and abusive parents. He, some say, fell in love with her. In 1576, long after Janes death, he was consecrated Bishop of London, and while in that position he made himself notorious through his harsh treatment of Roman Catholics. The question comes to mind whether or not his actions were meant as a revenge for Janes death. Queen Mary I was Catholic and she offered to spare Janes life if Jane had converted to Catholicism, which, ultimately, she denied.

Author Peter Carroll, during a visit at Bradgate House, Lady Jane Greys birthplace and childhood home, believed to have sensed Janes presence in the tower named after her, and he engaged in an imaginary, brief dialog with her.

What followed were three years of research and writing, and the result is the fictional story of Lady Jane Grey as told by her beloved tutor, John Aylmer, starting and ending with her execution in the Tower of London.

Sunbury Press Signs Prison Education Advocate Christopher Zoukis to Book Deal

Petersburg, VA (PRWEB) August 09, 2011

Christopher Zoukis, a two-time PEN American Center award winning writer (drama and fiction) and federal prisoner, is a candid advocate of prison education. Mr. Zoukis is the published author of a number of articles on prison education, the editor of the Education Behind Bars Newsletter, and an Adult Continuing Education instructor at FCI-Petersburg, a federal prison in Petersburg, Virginia. Mr. Zoukis is also the contributing editor of the Prison Education Blog at PrisonEducation.com.

Education Behind Bars is both a reference guide and a social policy title. Half of the impressive 650+ page text is dedicated to the need of prison education, its history, travails, current situation, and the refutation of arguments against it. The other half of the text is directed toward the incarcerated student. It contains detailed instructions on engaging in education behind bars and even includes program outlines about several hundred correspondence programs the world over. It is the most comprehensive document of its type.

Education Behind Bars is unique in a number of ways. While penned by Mr. Zoukis, a prisoner and prison education advocate, the text is not based upon his experience, but upon his extensive research which is verified by his personal experience. The text itself presents a very academic topic in a manner all can understand and even enjoy. The text provides a detailed assessment of prison education, connecting it to the best interest of the American public, and outlines a program to implement college-level learning in prisons across the nation in a very economical fashion. Hence, the text is of extensive use to policy makers, law makers, prison administrators and educators, researchers, and prisoners alike.

Mr. Zoukis notes, "From a scholarly perspective, prison education reduces recidivism, enhances life skills, and is a cost-effective method of crime reduction. He continues, "But from a humane and ethical perspective, prison education allows those who want to change their lifestyle the opportunity to do so. As with various immigrant populations, education holds the power to raise prisoners and their families out of the depths of poverty and all that ensues." He finishes, "The argument is a simple one: An education is an inherent right of all peoples, incarcerated or not. It is our duty as good Americans to foster educational opportunities for the less-fortunate. This means inside prisons as well as outside of prisons."

1&1 MyWebsite: Fit for Facebook and Smartphones

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) September 02, 2011

1&1 Internet Inc., a global leader amongst Web hosts, has now upgraded its successful product 1&1 MyWebsite with two new important features - first with the optimization of every MyWebsite site for display on smartphones. The second comprises a new social media interface that connects a business website with Facebook and Twitter. As a result, SMBs can now benefit from the important trends of mobile Internet and Web 2.0.

Website owners can now adapt their website for popular smartphones. The new feature identifies which mobile device is used when accessing a webpage and automatically customizes the page to the display. Thus, potential customers can easily access page content such as texts and pictures while on the go. This increases the chances of further sales for a business owner. The importance of a mobile optimized website is also highlighted by recent IDC research showing that in the fourth quarter of 2010, smartphones surpassed global PC shipments for the first time in history (100.9 vs. 92.1 million units). Driven by the smartphone trend, people are increasingly switching to mobile devices for using the internet.

Furthermore, 1&1 MyWebsite (formally named 1&1 MyBusiness Site) can now be linked seamlessly to Facebook and Twitter. Website owners can connect their social media presence with their company website to inform visitors about new offers or news. The new 1&1 social media interface offers a high degree of flexibility. Companies can also include recommendations for other social platforms in their website and add, for instance, the Follow Me or Like Button. According to research, enterprises which already use Facebook and Twitter cite increased brand awareness, sales and customer communication as their main reasons for being active in social networks.

Smartphone optimization functionality will be included for free with the 1&1 MyWebsite Plus and Premium packages, available for $ 19.99/month and $ 29.99/month, respectively. The social media interface is available in all MyWebsite packages, including the entry-level MyWebsite package for $ 9.99/month. Both features are now also available for existing customer websites without an additional fee.

1&1 MyWebsite offers industry-specific templates for over 200 business types and is ideal for small companies with either no website or an outdated one. With individual text, picture and design modules, any level of computer user can create a professional looking website in only a few minutes without risk, as 1&1 offers a 30-day risk free trial. From today, there are 30 new layouts added to the Plus and Premium packages, making website creation with 84 design variations even more flexible and customizable.

Available from only $ 9.99/month, all 1&1 MyWebsite packages include 1 domain, 200 email addresses and unlimited Web space and data traffic.

Finding New Ways to Entertain Young Minds

Green Bay, WI (PRWEB) November 23, 2011

What would children be doing if there was no Phineas and Ferb, no Super Mario World 3D, or even Facebook. Today, kids find themselves using modern technology to mitigate their boredom. In Michelle Liberts new book, The Best Ball of All (published by AuthorHouse), children will learn to use their imaginations and find creative ways to utilize their time.

The Best Ball of All takes place in the fictional Kingdom of Marmikel, a place where children are cherished and fairness reigns. In a land without modern amenities, what are children to do for entertainment?

For years, the King has put on various balls and dances to entertain his people, but now they have grown tired of attending the same events time after time. Together, the King, the children of the kingdom, and Nicholas, wind up finding an easy, unsophisticated cure for boredom. An Excerpt from the book:

When the King finally arrived at Nicks house, he could hardly believe the laughter and gaiety he was witnessing. While waiting for the King, Nicholas (after he recovered from the shock of all these people on his lawn!) showed the parents how to play a game by tossing the used horseshoes he had lying around. Others were playing ball, flying kites, or playing tag. Some were even napping under shade trees. But all of them were having a good time!

The Best Ball of All is a book created for kids and illustrated by a kid. The illustrator for Libert's book is actually her talented 13-year old grandson, Jacob.

Wholesalers are Getting Heard on Wholesale.fm

Bethel, CT (PRWEB) October 01, 2011

Small business and retail store owners looking for a competitive edge will now have a new tool in the box to consider and on the other side of the much sought after coin suppliers will have a new way to reach out to potential customers and literally give their companies a voice.

Wholesale.fm will offer users the chance to hear professionally produced interviews with wholesale supply industry leaders, owners, and experts on a variety of topics related to the business community. Interview subjects will provide retailers with a rare glimpse behind the marketing and canned emails and really hear from the people that make up the wholesale marketplace.

The catalog of interviews is only half of the story. Through a link on flag ship site GetThatWholesale.com any listed company will be able to record a thirty second message without cost and using no special software of their own. They just click a button and a recorder opens ready to create their message. The supplier can then review and change their message if needed before committing to it.

The audio file will be both stored on Wholesale.fm in an archive and available in their GetThatWholesale.com listing. A microphone icon will show visitors that a recorded message exists and a click will allow them to hear about special deals or just about any other tidbit that might help them make a more informed buying decision.

The recorded messages provide suppliers a chance to inform customers and potential customers about specials deals, changes in policy, or just send out appreciative communiques and company news. Over time Wholesale.fm will add instructional audio clips that will include how-tos on getting a retail business off the ground, doing your taxes, and the like.

Wholesale.fm will provide retailers with a better and more convenient tool for learning about the suppliers and provide suppliers with a low cost, effective new way to reach their customers."

He went on to praise the work of interviewer, Kevin Gallagher. "We are very proud of the professionalism Kevin brings to our interviews. He has many years of radio and TV experience interviewing community leaders and entertainers. Add in an excellent knowledge of our industry and we simply couldn't have found a better choice to be the voice of Wholesale.fm."

Wholesale.fm joins the growing network of GetThatWholesale's sites including the wholesale directories GetThatWholesale.com and BuyThatWholesale.com, ClubB2B, a wholesale industry forum, and the flea market directory MyFleaMarketGuide.com.

The Feast Continues: Thirsty Anyone?

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 26, 2011

Since the debut of Aleron this summer, author Kane has been on a steadily inclining trajectory. After debuting in New York City and Atlanta to a warm reception, he headed for the book festival circuit, picking up a fair amount of fans along the wayreaders, critics and book clubs alike. Following the launch, as he readied for the Decatur Book Festival in September, he was notified that hed won the Readers Favorite Award in the Best Fiction- Horror category. Kane says, This journey has been so far beyond my expectations. I was honored to have received such a prestigious award for my first book. Then I was humbled and inspired when I met the great Walter Mosley at the Southern Book Festival. I take all of this as a good omen of greater things to come. Im on the right path.

Kane left a comfortable job and career in Fiber Optics and Design to pursue writing full time. Writing had always been his passion, since he discovered his talent in junior high school. He felt it a good time in his life to be dedicated to his art and make a career of what he loved versus what he liked. As he embarked upon his new incarnation, he married his fascination with the immortality to his passion for writing. So serious was he about delivering an above par, historically accurate product to readers, he traveled to Romania to do extensive research on vampire lore and its origins, which resulted in the birth of Aleron.

Aleron is the first in the 5-part vampire series, Strigoi, meaning troubled souls of the dead rising from the grave. Set in the 18th century, the novel chronicles the life of the vampire Aleron from his seduction into immortal life by his mother-lover Mynea to his coming into his own strength and infinite power as a vampire and his experiences going forward with this knowledge. The novel is both an historical excursion and a tale of deceit and passion between the undead. The reader travels with him through time and through his challenges as he is continually adapting to his new life.

Kane continues on to exhibit and do signings at Bell Book & Candle Ghost Festival on October 22nd in McDonough, GA, the New Orleans Book Fest on November 5th, author signing at Barnes & Noble Forum Shops in Norcross November 12th at noon, and the Miami International Book Festival on November 18-20, where the Spanish language version will be available. On October 27th, Kane expands his reach into cyber space with his first official #AleronBookChat, virtually hosted by book clubs and other twitter favorites. The chat starts at 7pm EST on Twitter. Kane, his followers and fans will discuss the complexities of love relationships between immortals, his research and travels to Romania, the fascination with vampire lore and the next book in the series.

New Seiko Instruments Desktop Label Printer Generates Barcode, Envelope, File Folder Labels Or Name Tags In As Little As One Second

London, UK (PRWEB) May 9, 2006

Business and home/office products supplier Seiko Instruments, the pioneer of the one-label-at-a-time smart printer, announced today the launch of a new model in its flagship Smart Label Printer (SLP) line, offering higher resolution and a print speed of approximately one second per label.

Seiko Instruments new SLP 450 adds 2D barcode printing and improved network connectivity, producing high-quality, professional-looking labels that can include patient or customer information, bar codes for storing, shipping or inventory tracking, as well as text and graphics for labeling office files or cabinets. The printer will also generate nametags with a company logo for reception desk visitors or office events. In a home environment, the SLP 450 will produce labels for home office file folders or storage boxes or generate nametags for special parties.

Generating a label in approximately one second, the new SLP 450 delivers top-of-the-industry performance, creating high-quality labels, incorporating text, graphics or barcodes in a wide range of sizes, and in high resolution 300 dpi. The high-speed SLP 450 is the first of a series of new printers, as well as time-saving new kinds of labels, compatible with either the Windows or Mac environment, coming from Seiko Instruments in 2006.

The SLP 450 demonstrates our continued focus and commitment to offering top-of-the-line label printers that increase productivity, Dennis Cox, director of sales and marketing, Business and Home/Office Products Division, Seiko Instruments, said. Our new SLP is a great time-saver at home or in the office. Its a workhorse product that lets the user quickly generate high-quality, customised labels.

Seiko Instruments Smart Label Printers import text and graphics from most Mac and PC applications directly to a variety of adhesive or paper labels up to 2 1/8 inches wide for marking items such as envelopes, files, storage boxes, floppy or Zip disks, video cassettes or 35 mm slides. The SmartCapture feature lets the user instantly grab an address or other text from standard desktop computing applications, such as Word, Act!, Goldmine, Palm Desktop and Outlook. No typing is required. Just a single mouse click, and the information is sent to the printer.

The lightweight and portable label printers also make great name tags and ID badges for parties, trade shows, conferences and other business or social events.

With the SLP 450, users can now print 2D barcodes, which contain more information than conventional one-dimensional barcodes by making use of the vertical dimension to pack in more data. In a hospital setting, for instance, a single 2D barcode might include such data as patient name, account number, treating physician, blood type, date of admittance and more. In a shipping situation for any industry, the 2D barcode could provide information such as name, street, city, county and post code for both the shipper and addressee, and keep it all confidential, within what appears to be just black blocks and lines to the naked eye.

Improved networking functionality allows the SLP 450 to be connected by USB or serial port at an individual users desktop or centrally as a network printer, letting multiple users in a large office access the printer without it being tied to a single computer.

Because just a single label can be created and printed as needed, costs are kept down, the process is efficient and there are no wasted sheets of labels. Direct thermal printing technology also eliminates the need for expensive inks, ribbons or toner.

Seiko Instruments SLPs make handy desktop companions for administrative personnel in virtually any professional setting, from small businesses to large organisations, and across many vertical industries education, healthcare/medical, government, consulting, business/professional services, retail, real estate, accounting and the legal profession.

Operating System Compatibility

Seiko Instruments Smart Label Printers are compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Mac OS

Global Anesthesia Disposables Market to Reach US$343.5 Million by 2017, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 08, 2011

Follow us on LinkedIn - Global general anesthesia disposables market is highly mature, with low single-digit growth forecast through 2017. The increasing number of surgical procedures and rising concerns over cross contamination and infection control are expected to drive market growth. Although the number of general surgical procedures is on rise, growing popularity of minimally invasive technologies that require regional and local anesthesia is likely to hamper growth in the anesthesia disposables market. In recent years, general anesthesia procedures as a percentage of total surgical procedures continue to decline, due to the growing adoption of minimally invasive technologies across the world. The effect is sluggish growth for anesthesia disposables market. Minimally invasive procedures generally require regional or local anesthesia, which involve lower cost and do not necessitate the use of disposables such as breathing circuits, masks, and endotracheal tubes. Besides this, shrinking volume of elective surgical procedures and reduced capital spending are expected to impact growth.

As stated by the new market research report on Anesthesia Disposables, the US continues to remain the single largest regional market. The introduction of new technologies such as level of consciousness monitoring, laryngeal mask airways, and anesthesia information systems offers huge opportunities for market growth. Despite facing certain challenges, long-term growth in the market would be driven by investments in technology. Growth in the western world, particularly the US and Europe where there are increasing concerns about rising healthcare costs, is expected to be negligible. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing regional market displaying a CAGR of about 2.3% over the analysis period.

Anesthesia devices market in BRIC economies is projected to register considerable growth stimulated by reforms in healthcare and increased expenditure on healthcare by respective governments. High budgetary allocations by Chinese government for the improvement of healthcare facilities such as clinics, care units and hospitals in China are expected to boost anesthesia devices market. Furthermore, Russian governments plans to improve healthcare facilities in the country are expected to boost the market for anesthesia devices. In addition, provision of user-friendly and cost effective devices is expected to improve the market for anesthesia devices.

Anesthesia Breathing Circuits market continues to be the largest segment in the global anesthesia disposables market. Anesthesia Gas Masks is the fastest growing category with a CAGR of 2.3% over the analysis period. On the other hand, the market for disposable endotracheal tubes market is expected to contract over the next several years, owing to the increasing preference for Laryngeal Mask Airways (LMA), which provides several advantages over endotracheal tubes.

Major players in the marketplace include King Systems Corporation, LMA International N.V., Medline Industries Inc., Nellcor, Smiths Medical Inc., Teleflex Medical, and Vital Signs Inc.

The research report titled Anesthesia Disposables: A Global Strategic Business Report announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a comprehensive review of trends, issues, strategic industry activities, and profiles of major companies worldwide. The report provides market estimates and projections (US$ Million) for Anesthesia Breathing Circuits, Endotracheal Tubes, and Anesthesia Gas Masks across geographic markets such as the US, Canada, Japan, Europe (France, Germany, Italy, UK, and Rest of Europe), Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Latin America.
