Don’t Wait For Last Post Dates Says Parcel2Go As First Snow Falls

Leave a comment

Online parcel delivery specialist Parcel2Go has warned people not to delay ordering their presents online if they want to ensure goods will be delivered before Christmas.

Strong winds have hit many parts of the UK in recent days and the first snowfalls of winter have left parts of Scotland and northern England with a covering of the white stuff. Forecasters are now predicting that more bad weather is on the way.

Post and parcel deliveries were badly affected last year when snow led to major disruption on Britain’s roads, and Parcel2Go is urging shoppers to act now and not wait for the last post dates to be sure of receiving Christmas presents on time. An estimated 73 per cent of people will head onto the internet to purchase gifts this year, which means parcel delivery companies have had to step up efforts in order to deal with demand.

Richard Mercer, marketing director at Parcel2Go, which helps individuals and businesses ship in excess of two million parcels with UK courier firms every year, said being organised and making sure Christmas presents get into the hands of the UK’s leading courier companies as soon as possible will pay dividends.

He said: “We all know how strong the temptation is to leave things to the last minute, but clearly online present shopping is not something that can be done on Christmas Eve. There can be enough stresses over Christmas and so we’re calling on shoppers to make sure present buying and waiting for a parcel delivery are simple and stress- free experiences.

“Last year the weather played a significant part in determining whether deliveries could be made and so our message to shoppers is that breaking a habit many of us are normally guilty of, and buying presents a bit earlier, could end up saving Christmas!”

One of the many benefits of having Christmas gifts sent out with one of the UK’s leading courier companies is that you can monitor the progress of your packages online and, if necessary, organise alternative arrangements.

Richard added: “Buying in plenty of time for Christmas and making sure that you get a reliable parcel courier service from firms such as DHL or FedEx will ensure that everyone wakes up on December 25 with the gifts meant for them.”

Fast Linear Actuator for Automation Purposes Employs Ceramic Motor

Leave a comment

Auburn, MA, December 12, 2011 – Piezo motor specialist PI introduces the new M-272 linear actuator for automation applications based on a maintenance-free PILine® ultrasonic ceramic motor.

Closed-Loop Linear Actuator

PILine® piezo ceramic ultrasonic drives offer an affordable alternative to electromagnetic linear motors and motor-leadscrew combinations when small dimensions and/or high speed are important. With velocities of up to 200 mm/s, these drives are fast, compact, and are readily integrated. In addition, PIline® motors are self-locking at rest with zero heat generation, eliminating the need for an additional motor brake.

The novel M-272 closed-loop linear drive combines motor, actuator, linear encoder, guiding system and brake functionality in a very compact package. Due to the integrated guiding system a payload can be easily attached to the drive rod of the M-272 drive and positioned precisely.

Features and Advantages

  • Maintenance Free Ceramic Linear Motor
  • Travel range 50 mm
  • 5 µm Resolution with Integrated Linear encoder
  • Fast: 200 mm/sec (8”/sec)
  • High Speed and Dynamics for fast Settling
  • Self-Locking at Rest, no need for External Brakes, no Energy Consumption.
  • OEM Driver Electronics for Ultrasonic Motors Available

Patented Technology: Self-locking Instead of Quiescent Current

PILine® piezo motors are based on a new, patented, ultrasonic drive principle developed by PI. The core piece of the system is a piezoceramic plate, excited with high-frequency eigenmode oscillations. A friction tip attached to the plate moves along an inclined linear path at the eigenmode frequency. Through its contact with the ceramic friction bar (runner), the moving part of the mechanical system is pushed along. With each oscillatory cycle, the mechanical system executes a minute step of only a few nanometers; the macroscopic result is smooth motion with a virtually unlimited travel range. The piezo ceramic plate is preloaded against the runner and thus generates the holding force when the drive is at rest. The technology is in part protected by the following patents: US Pat. No. 6,765,335, German Patent No. 10154526

Controller for Faster Settling with Dynamic Control Parameter Adaption

The linear actuator can be driven with the C-867.OE OEM controller card. Its highly specialized DSP handles all of the motion properties typical for ultrasonic piezomotors, such as dynamic motion control parameter adaption. Optimized settling behavior of the mechanics within 10s of milliseconds is achieved by automatically switching between gainsets for dynamic and static operation.

About PI

PI is a leading manufacturer of piezo systems, linear actuators, linear motors, linear slide and presion motion control equipment for microscopy, bio-nanotechnology photonics and semiconductor applications. The company has 4 decades of motion control experience with OEM and research customers. PI was ISO 9001 certified in 1994 and is present worldwide with eight subsidiaries and a total staff of over 500.

California Truck Insurance – Get Save Up to 75% on Your Truck Insurance

f you haul for hire in California or if you even have a commercial vehicle that features a GVW of 10,000 lbs or more, you need a motor carrier permit. But many types of businesses are seasonal. You must as well maintain your permit active all year or said in voluntary withdrawal while your online business not operating?
The other type of is the Industrial Catering Vehicle (ICV) which sells only pre-packaged food. Additionally, the specially-designed trucks largely benefit catering businesses staff where they will transport food, beverages, and other things to the site of the event easily.

Additionally, catering business owners should take special considerations prior to purchasing. Firstly, they should decide whether to buy a new one or used one depending on their budget.

When buying a new one, they should inquire for warranty and its coverage. In contrast, when they will need to buy used one, they should have it examined by a mechanic to guarantee durability. Secondly, they should research for cost-effective options and reliable dealers to give them a variety of choices to choose from. Lastly, they must test-drive the truck before purchasing to ensure its quality.

Any vehicle that is certainly over 7.5 tonnes up to 44 tonnes is deemed as a heavy goods vehicle. Under the 7.5 limit is considered a van. Some reasons behind truck insurance being more expensive than car insurance is always that truck drivers on the whole do not have very good driving histories, so those that do behave have to pay for individuals who don’t. Believe it or not, more trucks get stolen than cars. Trucks have become big and extremely heavy so, when they are involved in an accident they tend to affect a lot more damage not only to other vehicles but also human occupants.

So, is it still possible to get cheap truck insurance? By searching the online world for companies dealing with truck cover it is possible that you can get the cover your online business needs for a price that wont have you bankrupt. The insurance business as a whole is a very competitive industry so by doing a research session you could find a deal that suits you.

Arizona Truck Insurance – Get 75% Discount For Truck Insurance

We all know that this economy has negatively affected the values of our homes, trucks, trailers and commercial equipment. But have you adjusted the values on your truck insurance policy? We are seeing too many of our clients keeping outdated stated values on their truck insurance policies. Then when there is a big loss, they are shocked to find out that their truck or trailer is not worth what it used to be worth. Don’t hesitate to call your broker if you are worried. Don’t wait until there is a claim.

Another issue is flexibility. Once you put your permit in voluntary withdrawal, it will usually take at least a few weeks to get your permit active again once you file the necessary paperwork. The California DMV is notoriously backlogged with work and your request may sit on someone’s desk for many days before being processed. So I always recommend to my clients that they plan ahead when getting ready to go back to work. Allow for at least 2 weeks when bringing their permit out of voluntary withdrawal just in case. If they get a call to haul a load, they could have their truck impounded if they operate without a valid motor carrier permit

One of the issues to consider is your commercial auto insurance. In order to keep your CA# active, you need to keep your liability insurance on file with the DMV. The benefit we see with many seasonal truckers is that if they put their permit in voluntary withdrawal, they are able to cancel their insurance or drop the liability coverage for the off season. This can save you a lot of money when your business is not producing income. Just make sure you talk to your insurance agent and make sure they understand what you want to do. A good agent will walk you through the process and tell you how to get the insurance going when your business resumes.

Zeek Rewards and Lisa Kay have Launched a Program to Help Everyone in Network Marketing Create Income

Leave a comment

Zeek Rewards Has Reached the Top of Alexa Worldwide for MLM’s With the Help of Lisa Kay.

San Jose, CA, December 12, 2011 – Zeek Rewards was created for anyone tired of working 9-5, anyone weary of watching assets dwindle amidst the adjustments & shifts in the financial community, or anyone working a home business.

FIRST, LET’S LOOK AT REALITY: 95% of people in MLM, network marketing, Internet marketing, or home business opportunities FAIL, Kay says.

They all fail for 4 main reasons:

1. Most people start their own businesses on a “shoe string” budget. Because they don’t know how to effectively advertise and promote their businesses, these folks quickly run out of money, without having the opportunity to effectively grow and explode their business.

2. Most people pitch their mlm, network marketing, internet marketing, or home business opportunities to their family, friends, and co-workers. This is a recipe for running out of people to talk to and for running out of money to advertise. That’s a sad scenario, not having enough qualified people to talk to on a daily basis. No business — even a franchise like McDonald’s — could survive on a daily basis unless they had customers.

3. Most people lack the tools, resources and sales training needed to put their potential new distributors or customers through a simple information process. “What is an information process?” you ask. An information process is simply: the resources for presenting your product or service to more people in less time. With a great information process, you can stop talking to people one-at-a-time, stop doing in home presentations, and stop going to hotel meetings. You can use technology to streamline the process.

4. Most people “can’t close their way out of a paper bag.” It’s sad to say most people join a home business before they realize they are suddenly in the business of sales. And they are either afraid of the phone or can’t close the deal. Bottom line: they don’t make any money.

Over the past few months Zeek Rewards has changed many people’s lives. Leverage is what this program brings to the home based business and this is why so many people are successful Kay says. When you teach people how to make money online you have a friend for life. When I first saw Zeek Rewards, I just knew I had found my Golden Ticket Kay says.

Here are the top reasons why Zeek Rewards is growing so Fast:
1. You Do Not need to Sponsor or Recruit to Make Money
2. Compound Income (you get paid 6 different ways)
3. You Can Join For Free!

As founder of LK Enterprise, Lisa Kay has stayed on the cutting edge of internet marketing and home business opportunities. Kay says, after intentionally staying on the fringe of the Home Business/Network Marketing Industry for a dozen years, the careful evaluation and due diligence of a dozen different top internet homes businesses, it was obvious that Zeek Rewards was a smart marketing strategy. Zeek Rewards had the perfect combination of product, training and appropriate market timing. It’s very rare to have all of these elements come together in one powerful structure all at the same time. Together we can make a huge and important difference in people’s lives. Whether you’re a part-time non-recruiter or a seasoned sales professional, Zeek Rewards offers you an opportunity to create whatever income and life-style you desire.

Build Your Enterprise IT 100% on the Web: It’s Pure Cloud

Leave a comment

It’s time to think Pure Cloud Solutions with your whole IT built 100% on the web.

San Jose, CA (USA), Friday – December 09, 2011 — Your Business Applications can either be built exclusively on the web using cloud platforms such as Google Apps, or they can be integrated into legacy systems, bridging the gap between old and new information systems. Netkiller, a leading global cloud IT integration firm, specializes in building applications on the Google Apps platform as well as Salesforce.com. Pure Cloud Solutions augments your systems by building on your existing IT structures.

Here are a few cases of Pure Cloud Solutions:

Workflow Management:
http://youtu.be/KzsLpnTTbhM (English Caption)
This shows pure Google Apps workflow management systems developed for companies such as MS-Autotech and PHC Valeo. These systems run 100% on the web utilizing a Google Apps document based workflow, which guarantees security and function through Google’s Service Level Agreement (SLA), which sports a 99.9% uptime guarantee (the best in the industry), and extends to any application or system developed purely on the Google cloud. Its content and function are both secure whenever, and where ever there is access to the web. TaeKyu Lee, CEO of MS-Autotech Co., said “Google Apps give innovative communication with great security; pure Google Apps solutions keep our security strong under Google’s SLA.”

NICER Emergency Response System:
Forest Hills Volunteer Ambulance Corps (FHVAC) utilizes a Pure Google Apps solution called NICER (Netkiller Internet Cloud Emergency Responder) designed and developed for storing and dispatching ambulance response in a timely and efficient manner. NICER is built entirely on the Google Apps Cloud platform, providing for secure connections (again, 99.9% up time guaranteed). Because NICER is built purely on this platform, it runs within Google Apps for Education accounts without the need for third party applications. Alan Wolfe, the President of Forest Hills Volunteer Ambulance Corps, remarked, “Netkiller was able to design exactly what we needed to track our ambulance response. NICER is an easy, convenient and efficient tool that we can afford.” Because NICER is a cloud solution it can be accessed by multiple users from any Internet-enabled computer.

Custom Databases, Help Desks, and Inventory systems:
Specialized applications have been developed for organizations like NTI, which required secure SSO access to web applications for specified separate groups, a custom database that interfaces the mobile UI for data import to a mapping program for website displays, a flexible report generator for personnel, customers, and public safety, a custom online help desk, and applications integrating mail, messaging, and online access to files and collaborative materials as well as integration between customer and management applications. These web applications built by Netkiller, such as help desks and inventory systems, benefit from the security and reliability of cloud platforms like Google Apps. Localist, an organization dedicated to connecting students with events in an academic setting, is another organization that utilizes a help desk constructed on the web by Netkiller. The benefits of these systems moving onto the cloud is that they maintain top-of-the-line security, while also staying at the cutting edge of technology in terms of functionality and development.

These are only a few examples of pure cloud solutions that Netkiller has developed. The possibilities for application functionality are limitless. Beyond developing applications purely on cloud platforms, Netkiller can also work with existing ERP structures to integrate the newest technology into legacy systems. Organizations in any industry can benefit from the expertise of Netkiller’s specialists, whether an entirely new system is required, or a specific application must be integrated into existing systems.

Sungwook Jung, CEO of Netkiller said “Enterprise businesses need great security and stability as much as Google does. We help Enterprise customers to gain that security by going 100% Cloud with Netkiller’s Pure Google Apps based solutions. It’s the best way to protect a customer’s data against security risks.”

Netkiller is a Google Enterprise Solution Provider, Salesforce.com Partner, and Google Apps Authorized Reseller. Netkiller currently services over 20,000 company accounts worldwide and has provided enterprise cloud solutions for such diverse industries as health care, automotive technology, and education, as well as many others.

SmartTOP Convertible Top Module for BMW 1 Series and Mini Now With Plug-And-Play Wiring

Leave a comment

The SmartTOP convertible top add-on module offered for BMW 1 series and Mini convertibles by after-market electronics specialist Mods4cars now comes with a custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter. The module allows one-touch top operation while driving at slow speeds as well as opening and closing of the top from afar via the original factory remote fob. Installation is done by simply plugging the custom-fit wiring adapter in between two connectors.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), Friday – December 09, 2011 — Effective immediately, Mods4cars includes a new, custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter with all SmartTOP module orders for BMW 1 series and Mini convertibles. The adapter uses OEM plugs and connectors to ensure a perfect fit and simple connection between the module and the car electronics. Installation is simplified to the point that it can be carried out by anyone without special knowledge. No individual wires need to be handled, no cutting or splicing into wires means no permanent changes to the vehicle.

The SmartTOP module offers BMW 1 series and Mini convertible owners an array of useful convenience features and adds functionality to their cars. The convertible top can be operated with a single touch of the switch, at speeds of up to 40km/h (~28mph). It is no longer necessary to pull over and hold down the top switch. Opening and closing of the top is also possible, up to the full RF range, via simple commands from the existing car key fob. The original remote does not need to be reprogrammed or altered.

“Thanks to our one-touch feature top operation is now a breeze – Quick and uncomplicated, even from the remote”, says PR manager Sven Tornow. On Mini convertibles it is even possible to enter command sequences to determine the desired position of the sunroof/convertible top combo. Touch the switch once to open the sunroof only, touch it twice to open the top, touch it three times to open top and all windows. All these options are also available from the key remote transmitter. “The cumbersome act of holding down the switch and letting go just in the right moment is a thing of the past. The driving fun can start right away”, Mr. Tornow concludes. With the kit installed, all it takes is a single tap to fully automatically close the windows, top and sunroof, should drivers get caught in a summer rainstorm.

Some additional features present on this as well as many of the company’s other add-on modules are separate window control from the remote, one-touch closing of all windows from the center console switch, automatic door locking and unlocking and an extended mode where turning the engine on or off does not interrupt an ongoing top operation. Also worth mentioning is the master switch, which allows turning the entire module on or off quickly, while retaining the user’s individual preference settings.

All SmartTOP convertible top add-on modules made by Mods4cars come with a standard USB port, a USB cable is included with every kit. This allows end users to configure the module or update the firmware with any regular Windows PC. Support software as well as firmware updates for the modules are available online, for the life of the product and free of charge.

Modules are available for Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo. Mods4cars offers a SmartTOP kit for almost every modern convertible on the roads today.

The SmartTOP kit for BMW 1 series and Mini Convertibles is available for 249 Euros + tax.

A demonstration for Mini owners can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16e8tAXiQSQ

A demonstration for BMW 1 series owners is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBy1dv3CwoY

Further details and purchasing information can be found at Mods4cars’ website: http://www.mods4cars.com

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.
