Stanley CCS Completes Security And Fire Installations For Crawley Borough Council

Stanley Convergent Security Solutions (Stanley CSS) has completed the security and fire system installations for Crawley Borough Council’s Town Hall and local Football Stadium.

A comprehensive CCTV system has been installed across both the six storey Town Hall located in the town centre and at Broadfield Stadium, one of the finest non-league stadiums in the country with a capacity of 4,996 and home to Crawley Town Football Club. The CCTV was installed as a crime prevention measure and to ensure the safety of Council staff and visitors to the sites. In addition, Stanley was also awarded the Fire Alarm and Voice Evacuation system contract for the Stadium.

Alan Lagden, Building Services Manager at Crawley Borough Council, researched the CCTV market extensively before deciding on Stanley to undertake the installations: “I chose Stanley because of their reputation. I have received a very good service from them and am impressed by the excellent Stanley engineer who attends our site. We wanted consistency from the outset and that included having the same engineer attend site wherever possible. He is now familiar with us and knows where he is going without us having to spend an hour showing someone around the site with each visit.

“The additional works and upgrades we have had since having the system have been undertaken by Stanley who have kept me fully appraised of all the work being done and carried it out in a professional manner, using high spec equipment. One of the most important things was that the work has not interfered with our daily business”

Stanley CSS understands the value and strength of a local service team backed by global resources, with six office locations in the UK and over 75 locations throughout North America and Europe. Stanley focuses daily on delivering exceptional and consistent operational excellence in the five customer touch points: account management, installation, service, monitoring and billing. The company continually measures its performance against these touch points, identifying areas for improvement and providing clear, precise instructions for reaching each and every goal set.

An integral part of this customer offering includes a variety of finance options, including Stanley’s Flexible Finance package which enabled Crawley Borough Council to move forwards with these latest security and fire installations. This facility provides a low start to the agreement (which also includes all software upgrades and maintenance over the course of the ten year deal) with payments spread throughout its term.

Class Portfolio of Laser Sources at Fabtech 2011

Coherent Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) (Nasdaq: COHR) showcased it’s new kilowatt class portfolio of laser sources at the Fabtech 2011 trade show held last month in Chicago, IL. The company updated its three-pronged kilowatt class strategy addressing the high power materials processing market, which includes laser cutting, welding, cladding and heat treating applications.

The company presented at the show a kilowatt version of its highly reliable, E-Series CO2 lasers called the DIAMOND E-1000. The DIAMOND E-1000 is a compact design that is up to 80% smaller than competitive offerings, requires no consumables and has been shown to cut metals at similar speeds as lasers with twice the power. In addition to saving space, the compact design allows the DIAMOND E-1000 to be mounted on a robot, eliminating the need for fiber delivery systems.

The DIAMOND E-1000 is joined by the Highlight 8000D, a kilowatt class direct-diode system, which was introduced in June 2011 during Laser Munich trade show. The HighLight 8000D features output powers up to 8 kW and is the most powerful, industrial, direct-diode laser system currently available with smart free space beam delivery – providing high power light in the shape and distance required by the application. With systems already deployed in the cladding market, HighLight 8000D enables the largest area at the highest deposition rate currently available.

Completing the three-pronged kilowatt class strategy is Coherent’s HighLight 1000FL fiber laser. This will be the first product in an OEM-focused kW to multi-kW fiber platform. It utilizes Coherent diode bars in a single step pump aggregation without service incompatible splices or gratings – all coupled into a 50 μm fiber delivery. This uniquely, simple architecture is more feedback resistant and is modular in design to enable future serviceability. The HighLight 1000FL is primarily targeted at cutting and welding of metals, such as mild and stainless steels, copper, aluminum, brass, titanium, and aluminum-magnesium.

The three kilowatt class strategy ensures that any material or process can be achieved using either CO2 lasers, direct-diode systems, or fiber lasers – all from Coherent.

Founded in 1966, Coherent, Inc. is a world leader in providing photonics based solutions to the commercial and scientific research markets and part of the Russell 2000. Please direct any questions to Frank Gaebler, Segment Marketing Director at 408-764-4000.

Never Miss a Moment as dabs.com Introduces the Latest Compact and Digital SLR Cameras from Olympus

The new range of retro styled yet technically impressive digital cameras from Olympus are now available at UK computing and technology specialist dabs.com, including the E-P3 PEN SLR and the E-PM1 PEN Mini.

Well known for their innovative and stylish digital SLR cameras, as well as compact‘mini SLRs’, Olympus has been a popular photography brand for many amateur and professional photographers over the years. These latest additions to its line have piqued the interest of many technology blogs and review websites already.

The E-P3 is being marketed as the new standard for the well known PEN product line with a number of new and innovative features. However, it remains in-keeping with the quality and style that hark back to the early PEN models of the 1960s.

The standout feature on this 12.3 Megapixel digital SLR camera is the FAST (Frequency Acceleration Sensor Technology) AF, officially the fastest auto-focus sensor on the market. It means that photographers can catch precious moments or high-speed action shots with the E-P3 and not have to worry about slow auto-focus missing the most important pictures.

dabs.com is also going to be selling the slightly more compact E-PM1 micro four thirds camera. This smaller and stylish addition to the PEN family allows owners to catch professional SLR-like images but without the added complexity of a larger SLR, thanks to its newly redesigned interface which even allows previews of effects before the image is captured.

The E-P3 will be available at dabs.com either as body only or with one of a selection of compatible lenses. The E-PM1 will be available from early Autumn in a number of different vibrant colours.

Pounce Consulting Announces Its New Strategic Alliance With AMD

Pounce Consulting Inc. has announced today the strategic alliance with AMD (NYSE: AMD) to develop an Embedded Platform Board for the AMD Embedded G-Series platform. Pounce Electronics division will be in charge of the entire design and manufacturing of the board, in its own manufacturing facility.

The main goal of this project is to enable embedded solutions based on the AMD Embedded G-Series platform. This board will help develop engineering solutions, software and hardware, allowing direct access to every I/O feature available from the AMD platform, a robustness which is rarely accessible or available on standard off-the-shelf PC motherboards.

This board is aimed at providing a target platform for embedded customers using the Sage Electronic Engineering integrated development environment (IDE), a high performance development tool that helps embedded developers achieve a quicker time-to-market. This board design will take advantage of AMD’s special interconnect for a custom carrier board, which means that it will allow a low cost direct connection to a secondary board, enabling developers additional easy customization in their designs.

“Development boards are a key support component for the embedded market,” said Buddy Broeker, director, Embedded Solutions, AMD. “With Pounce Electronics, we’ve found a highly qualified and creative technology partner whose new AMD Embedded G-Series-based board will offer design support for each key feature of the platform.”

The Mexican Government, through the Ministry of Economic Development of the state of Jalisco, will be joining forces alongside Pounce and AMD in this project. The government will provide some of the funds necessary for this development in an effort to increase the investment and participation of electronic companies, such as AMD, in the country.

Vita Audio Radios Sales Hit Record High at Dougbradyhifi.com

Stunning looks, exceptional build quality and an outstanding performance prove a winning combination, with sales of Vita Audio integrated music systems soaring at Dougbradyhifi.com.

Beautifully crafted integrated music systems rarely score top marks across the board, but Vita Audio Systems are an exception. The brand was formed in 2006 and rapidly became one of the leading suppliers of D.A.B radios, with fans enamoured with the exceptional sound quality and sleek retro styling of its digital radios and music systems.

“It’s rare to find such a compact music system with such a high technical specification, let alone one that offers an outstanding performance across the board” says Doug Brady Product Manager Stephen Oakes. Ever since the Vita Audio R4i was released online and at the Cheshire store it has been a bestseller, with customers impressed by the power and quality of sound which can come from such a small music system.

The R4i is the most comprehensive music system from the Vita Audio range, offering the full range of digital media options including a slot loading multi format CD player, USB port for playback of music files and iPod dock in addition to the DAB/DAB+/FM tuner which is a standard feature of the full Vita Audio range.

The Vita Audio R4i combines technology more frequently seen in high quality separates than compact music systems. Vita Audio developed its own powerful speaker and amplifier system for the R4i, using custom designed Class A-B amplifiers developed with discrete component technology. The result is crystal clear vocals, impressive bass thanks to an integrated subwoofer, and good separation of stereo in spite of the close proximity of the speakers, and the 80 watt output is more than enough for a small to medium sized room.

The R4i offers impressive sound and maximum functionality; however the Vita Audio R2i is equally well accomplished, and another bestselling Vita Audio model at Doug Brady HiFi. The R2i may not have the output of the R4i; however its 20 watt output is impressive, and features enhanced 3D sound processing and tone equaliser to get a custom sound to suit all tastes.

The R2i is a regular winner of the full complement of stars in industry reviews, and has picked up many “Best Buy” awards for its design and performance. “It may be small but it really packs a punch, and has surprisingly good range and impressive sound for such a compact system” says Oakes. The R2i features two pairs of gold plated phono inputs, clock and alarm functions and an intuitive remote control and rotodial controller for ease of operation.

Both the Vita Audio R2i and R4i are sold in three attractive veneer finishes and sleek retro styling, and their looks and outstanding performance have proved to be a winning combination at Dougbradyhifi.com with Via Audio sales soaring and hitting record highs.

Further details of the award winning range of Vita Audio digital radios and accessories can be found on: http://www.dougbradyhifi.com/s-66-vita-audio.aspx.

SpyTown Going Green and Strong to Celebrate Earth Day

SpyTown.com, a premier retailer for all security needs and prevention with a variety of video security systems available is going green and remaining so with the celebration of Earth Day.

SpyTown, known for their impressive array of security equipment and assisting schools, businesses, and home owners in security is brining further light to the topic of environmental choices. The company has taken a proactive stance by making conscious business decisions to make a difference and protect the environment in any way possible. With the quickly approaching celebration of Earth Day on April 22nd, many are reminded of how precious the environment is, and how “Going Green” may help preserve it.

SpyTown has maintained a “Go Green” mentality by deciding to no longer print and mail out catalogs in an effort to reduce waste. In addition, flyers and promotions have been printed with soy-based ink products rather than the typical petroleum which are known to give off VOC’s (volatile oranic compounds, pollutants to the environment). Forest Stewardship Council, (FSC), certified paper has also been used rather than the standard traditional paper. FSC is a not-for-profit organization that was established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.

“The environment is something of great concern,” shares Sales Director, Howard Geschwind, “At SpyTown we have made it a point to make an effort to “Go Green” and maintain such a consistency in hopes to lessen detrimental effects on the rainforest, wildlife, and the environment as a whole. By making these small changes it is believed it can help in a big way.”
