New Precision Gear & Dial Hubs from SI Designed To Fit Hubs with Limited Hub O.D., Eliminates Keys

New Precision Gear & Dial Hubs from SI Designed To Fit Hubs with Limited Hub O.D., Eliminates Keys










New Hyde Park, NY (PRWEB) February 01, 2012

A new series of precision gear & dial hubs from Sterling Instrument (ISO 9001:2000+AS9100B Registered Manufacturer) are designed to fit gears or dials, plus eliminate keys or splines. Identified as the S2F06Y-…. Series, they are made of 303 stainless steel. Hub mounting lengths range from .062” to .187”. Their bore diameters range from .0900” to .2498”. These Fairloc® hubs can be ordered pre-assembled to gears or dials.

The choice of Fairloc® hubs permits frequent phase adjustment, timing and position adjustment while adding positive metal-to-metal fastening strength along both hub sections. The Fairloc® integral hub fastener consists of two slots that are machined into the hub, one radially and the other angularly, to create a transverse wedge which remains attached to the solid portion of the hub on one side. The resultant cantilevered clamping section has a tapped hole to accept a cap screw which passes through a clearance hole in the solid portion of the hub, and into a threaded hole in the transverse wedge section. As the screw is tightened, the cantilevered section clamps the shaft securely. The screw can be tightened and released repeatedly without marring the shaft or affecting its torque-transmitting abilities. Quotes, online orders, and 3D CAD Models are available at our new eStore at: http://www.sdp-si.com/eStore.

Detailed specifications are contained in Catalog D810, available free upon request from Sterling Instrument, 2101 Jericho Turnpike, P.O. Box 5416, New Hyde Park, NY 11042-5416. Phone: 516-328-3300 • Fax: 516-326-8827.

Today in America TV Show with Terry Bradshaw to Profile The Boat Company











Today in America With Terry Bradshaw


Coral Springs, Florida (PRWEB) January 18, 2012

Committed to delivering news and engaging discussions, The Today in America TV program with Terry Bradshaw unveils its first segment on how the generation that defined tree hugging continues their initiatives on keeping it green.

“We were looking for content about eco-tourism that spoke to the affluent travelers with a love of the great outdoors,” says Doug Scott, Executive Producer of Today in America TV. “The Boat Company was the perfect fit as one of the world’s only luxury passenger eco cruise that’s non-profit.”

Already filling in slots for its May through September, The Boat Company operates the premiere small boat Alaskan cruise between Sitka and Juneau. By limiting the number of passengers (there is ratio of two guests per one crew member), luxury from the guest quarters to the epicurean experience and off ship activities is the company’s priority which is only matched by its commitment to advocacy.

The Boat Company, incorporated in Alaska in 1979 by the McIntosh Foundation, is a non-profit educational organization offering luxury eco-cruises through Southeast Alaska (allowing for a portion of reservation to be tax deductible). With over 30 years of work in Alaska, The Boat Company has reinvested between $ 25 and $ 30 million in their conservation efforts.

They were also speakers at The International Ecotourism Society (TIES), the Ecotourism and Sustainable Tourism Conference (ESTC) is North America’s largest and only conference.

Today in America is the first show of its genre hosted by Terry Bradshaw that is geared towards the educated, affluent viewer. Based on viewer feedback, the show has spawned great interest in many luxury markets.

To view the Alaskan experience head to the official site of Today in America todayinamericatv.com.To learn more about setting sail and keeping it green visit theboatcompany.org.

iDe+S, LLC. Introduces LinenLOCK: Secure a Better Night’s Sleep

iDe+S, LLC. Introduces LinenLOCK: Secure a Better Night’s Sleep











Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) December 15, 2011

It’s 4 AM…and another restless night because sheets are getting pulled up and tangled around. Stop waking up in knots…get LinenLOCK™! It can be particularly frustrating when fitted sheet corners are consistently undone and get tangled. With this common problem in mind Charles Patzer, founder of iDeS, LLC, invented LinenLOCK™ (http://www.linen-lock.com) to eliminate the headache of the fitted sheet regularly coming loose.

Daily chores comprise of many things, including making the bed. But even this simple chore can be especially annoying for individuals who toss and turn in their sleep and loosen the sheets. Also, how often is perfectly good bedding thrown away when the corners do not stay tucked? Don’t throw away good sheets! Save money on existing bedding with LinenLOCK™.

Charles Patzer was inspired to create LinenLOCK™ from his own personal sleeping experiences. “I toss in my sleep and I’m always popping off the corners of the fitted sheet,” said Patzer. “I bought several types of sheet holders that were already on the market but they did not work or were hard to install. So I decided to create my own.”

Made in the U.S.A out of durable plastic-polypropylene, LinenLOCK™ is a quick easy fix that when slipped under the bed corners, becomes a perfect extension to hold unruly fitted sheet corners. Its dishwasher safe and easy to install with simple instructions molded right on the product panel. The locking slots hold sheets firmly in place with no sharp edges. It also keeps the top sheet in place too! Just fold the sheet over the end of the LinenLOCK™, then it slides undetected between the mattresses for a perfect fit!

Now a better night’s sleep can be secured in just minutes. So affordable, it also makes a great gift idea too! LinenLOCK™ is the sensible way to bring new life to old sheets, and make bedtime easy again.

New FixLogix Modular T-Slot Fixture System for CMM and Metrology Part Staging Applications

New FixLogix Modular T-Slot Fixture System for CMM and Metrology Part Staging Applications










Olivet, MI (PRWEB) January 30, 2009

FixLogix LLC has introduced a new T-slot modular fixture system for part staging applications. It is used for metrology and other light work-holding applications. The system features a new fabricated T-slot fixture plate that can be produced at a fraction of the cost of traditional tooling plates. The plate and integrated component kit significantly reduces the cost of acquiring a CMM fixture system, and improves the functionality.

T-slot systems offer infinite positioning of locating components, which simplifies fixture construction. The T-slots are combined with a laser engraved reference system. This provides clear documentation of the fixture setup for easy repeatability. The T-slots are Alpha-identified, with engraved reference scales along the T-slots in English or Metric versions.

Designed initially for CMMs, the system is being utilized in a variety of coordinate metrology applications. Users of portable coordinate inspection systems such as articulating arms have found the fixture system to be very useful, and the economical price point is appropriate for the application. Other customers have use the system for staging for CT scanners, and for staging parts on laser engraving systems.

The FixLogix system is also being implemented for rapid construction of semi-dedicated part-holding fixtures for CMM inspection. Linn Products Inc. an aluminum extrusion and fabrication company located in Charlotte MI has successfully implemented the FixLogix system for rapid part holding fixtures. According to Randy Linn, President of Linn Products: “The FixLogix modular fixture system has allowed us to build our own CMM holding fixtures in days instead of weeks. This has improved the timelines for new product development. We have also enjoyed tremendous cost savings as well. At a cost of hundreds of dollars rather than the thousands we used to spend, we are saving thousands of dollars per fixture.”

FixLogix LLC was formed in 2007 to produce and sell modular fixture systems for metrology and other light duty part-holding applications. The company also produces modular fixture systems for vision systems, optical comparators, and laser scanners. The company maintains an e-commerce website: http://www.fixlogix.com

An Early Holiday Gift from Appointment-Plus for the Fitness Industry: New Syncs, Plug-Ins from the Worldwide Experts in Online Scheduling Solutions













Online Appointment Scheduling


Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) November 01, 2011

Appointment-Plus, the worldwide experts in online scheduling solutions since 2001 and creators of the scheduling industry’s most flexible and feature-rich application, now makes the client-booking process easier for fitness studios, healthclubs, gyms and personal training businesses this winter season with a new lineup of plug-ins that can help them operate more efficiently and effectively. This growing array of functionality joins an extension list of unique features tailored perfectly for the fitness industry, such as online gift certificates, scheduling group training and classes, and selling and managing workout packages.

These integrations and modules include syncs with QuickBooks and e-marketing service providers Constant Contact, iContact, MailChimp and Vertical Response, as well as online customer payment-processing through MerchantWarehouse and the Compensation Calculator, which instantly calculates employee compensation at either a flat rate or a percentage. Future releases include syncs with Google and Microsoft Outlook Calendar and an enhanced mobile Web app.

Combined with the industry’s premier and most flexible online appointment scheduling application, these features allow for more time with clients and less time on the phone booking their sessions.

“Booking session times over the phone or by e-mail is inconvenient for both the health or fitness club and client alike,” says Bob La Loggia, CEO of Appointment-Plus. “Our premier scheduling software makes it easy to completely automate this tedious and time-consuming process from start to finish, without having to take time away from your clients or spend hours returning voice messages and e-mail from those looking to book.

“Our feature-rich system gives personal training businesses and facilities the right tools to improve their client-booking procedures.”

Organizations that currently utilize Appointment-Plus online appointment software for their scheduling needs include:


Bally Total Fitness Baton Rouge (La.)
Downtown Orlando YMCA (Fla.)

Although many online appointment software providers have sprung up over the past few years, Appointment-Plus remains the clear choice among fitness businesses and facilities thanks to its flexibility and customization. Fitness professionals and facilities have specific needs when it comes to scheduling their clients, which Appointment-Plus has taken into consideration when developing new functionality for its clients. Among the most popular functionality for the fitness industry includes:

Workout packages module, which allows trainers and staff to offer multiple-session bundles that the system automatically manages and tracks.
Gift certificates for purchase for friends, family and acquaintances.
Point-of-Sale module for trainers and facilities that sell products in addition to their fitness services.
Multiple Appointments Per Time Slot, whereby fitness professionals, health clubs and gyms can schedule more than one individual in a specified timeframe. This is especially popular for booking group training and classes.

The premier provider of online scheduling solutions since 2001, Appointment-Plus gives the fitness industry the proven Web-based tools for more efficient and effective scheduling, such as:

Online client self-scheduling, whereby individuals can book their own sessions when it’s more convenient for them and at any hour of the day.
Automated e-mail and text message reminders sent prior to a scheduled appointment time and which can reduce the number of “no-shows” by over 50 percent.
Robust record-keeping and reporting capabilities.

Because it’s Web-based, Appointment-Plus online appointment software requires only an Internet connection to use. No installations, downloads or additional hardware are necessary.

Bustec Announces Low-Cost PCI Express VXI Slot-0 Interface

Bustec Announces Low-Cost PCI Express VXI Slot-0 Interface










Escondido, CA (PRWEB) September 12, 2011

Bustec announced today the ProDAQ 3026, a single-slot, C-size, VXIbus slot-0 to PCI Express interface. With low latency and up to 40 MB/s throughput, the ProDAQ 3026 provides a low-cost solution for replacing legacy VXI interfaces. The new interface enables arbitrary power on/off order of host PC and chassis, is optimized for low first-word latency, and is available with interfaces for PCI- and PCI Express-based computers.

“The ProDAQ 3026 is a low-cost PCIe VXI Slot-0 interface for applications that do not require the 320 MB/s throughput or optional LXI triggering of the ProDAQ 3030,” said Fred Bloennigen, CEO of Bustec. “This new VXI Controller delivers flexibility alongside market-leading throughput and latency performance, showing Bustec’s continued investment to innovating on the VXI platform. Our line of products allows our mil/aero customers to reliably sustain their test systems, as well as design new high-performance VXI and hybrid systems.”

The ProDAQ 3026 supports PCI Express hot-plug functionality, allowing engineers to power up a host PC simultaneously or independently from any and all VXI chassis. Unlike other interfaces that require engineers to power down a host PC before turning off a VXI chassis, the ProDAQ 3026 allows engineers to power off any VXI chassis to interchange instruments without having to shut down the host PC, ultimately saving time.

Up to two ProDAQ 3026 interfaces can be connected directly to the ProDAQ 3261 PCI Express host interface card, which fits into a standard PCI Express x4 slot in a desktop or server computer. For a desktop or server computer with PCI bus slots only, the ProDAQ 3262 provides a PCI-to-PCI Express bridge in addition to the PCI Express cable interface. It fits into a standard PCI slot and also allows up to two ProDAQ 3026 to be connected.

Bustec Family of VXIbus Slot-0 Interfaces and Controllers offers a Range of Capabilities

As a leading manufacturer of VXI slot-0s and data acquisition instrumentation, Bustec played a key role in driving the VXI-1 Revision 4.0 standard. The first VXI controller to support the new VXI-1 Rev. 4.0 standard, the ProDAQ 3000 Series ProDAQ 3030 interface, fully supports 2eSST transfers, delivering up to 320 MB/s of throughput and latency of less than 500 nsec for single word transfers.

Earlier this year, Lockheed Martin selected the BustecProDAQ 3030 VXI slot-0 interface for its new electronic Consolidated Automated Support System (eCASS). With the ProDAQ VXI interface, Lockheed Martin can deliver a test system capable of testing modern aircraft electronics, achieving LXI triggering, reducing test time, and maintaining compatibility with existing hardware and software of the previous-generation system.

For more information on the BustecProDAQ VXI slot-0 interfaces, readers can visit http://www.bustec.com/products/.

About Bustec

Bustec is a leading supplier of high-performance data acquisition and test products. Bustec products and solutions lead the test and measurement industry in accuracy, throughput, and density, offering up to 10x higher accuracy than new products from competitors.

Bustec offers data acquisition solutions for LXI and VXI and uses the same function card modules interchangeably in carriers for both platforms. Function card modules include options for analog I/O including conditioning for ICP and strain, as well as digital I/O, serial, and counter/timers. Bustec tools address applications that have needs for accuracy of static signals such as voltage, temperature, and pressure, or dynamic signals acquired at higher speeds, as well as closed loop control and simulation. Bustec products successfully serve applications that include engine testing, automotive and missile testing, wind tunnel data acquisition and control, acoustics, vibration applications, aircraft component testing, and a wide range of other demanding applications.
