Starting with GNU Emacs 23, there is relatively complete Unicode support. See the Emacs manual for more information. Some starter tips about entering (inserting) Unicode characters:
for Emacs before version 24) ('C-x 8 RET'
), which lets you either enter a Unicode code point or complete against the Unicode character name. It can be slow, because there are many candidate characters to choose from.'ucsc-insert'
, a replacement for 'insert-char'
for Emacs before version 24) — bind it to 'C-x 8 RET'
. It does the same thing, except that with a negative prefix argument (for which 'ucs-insert'
does nothing) it automatically creates such a command.'ucs-make-commands'
, which defines a whole set of such commands. You pass it a regexp, which is matched against all Unicode character names (in 'ucs-names'
). An insertion command is created for each of the characters whose name matches.'SPC'
characters in the character names are replaced by hyphens ('-'
), and the command names are lowercase, not uppercase like the character names.GNU Emacs 21 has built-in Unicode support which is sufficient for editing, for example, UTF-8-encoded Western technical text from the Basic Multilingual Plane. It doesn't support most Far Eastern characters from the BMP, or combining characters (which can easily be added), but some support for them has been installed in the development sources, probably for GNU Emacs 22.1. On version 21.4, it means, for example, that reading a Japanese UTF-8 encoded text will not be displayed correctly but in three bytes instead of a single character. It also means that if you enter a text with a Japanese input method, it will be displayed correctly but you can't save the buffer in utf-8 (see section Saving CJK into Unicode): if your text mixes Arabic, Russian, West-European character and Japanese characters, all but the Japanese will be displayed and saved correctly. Also, saving and pasting from other applications, will not work (see Saving section). The GNU Emacs 21.2 PROBLEMS file is somewhat misleading about Unicode support. GNU Emacs 21.3 contains support for UTF-16 encoding of the same characters as UTF-8 and its utf-8 coding system will encode characters from more Emacs charsets than in 21.2.
Various Unicode-related extensions for GNU Emacs 21.2 are available from http://www.loveshack.ukfsn.org/emacs/Mule/. Beware that these currently have some bugs compared with the equivalent code installed in the Emacs development sources.
In future (probably Emacs 22), Mule will use an internal encoding which is a UTF-8 encoding of a superset of Unicode. The basic implementation of that is done, but needs plenty more work.
Note that the internal encoding is largely orthogonal to whether Emacs can satisfactorily edit unicoded documents, as the GNU Emacs 21 implementations demonstrate. You do not need a Unicode-based Emacs to use Unicode. UTF-8 is just another coding system; the only fundamental issue is whether all the relevant characters can be represented.
Assume you have an UTF-8 file, but your locale uses ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1). Typically when you open the file, it will be garbled, depending on its exact contents and your setup. Auto-detection of UTF-8 is effectively disabled by default in GNU Emacs 21.3 and below. You can prefer it just below your preferred coding system by specifying utf-8 with 'M-x prefer-coding-system'
and then repeating the command to replace your most preferred coding system at the front of the priority list ('coding-category-list'
Otherwise, you need to tell Emacs that the file is in UTF-8 before reading it by prefixing your 'C-x C-f'
or 'C-x C-v'
command with 'C-x C-m c utf-8 RET'
. It should display correctly.
To edit the file, just type. If you need to insert characters that your keyboard does not have, you need an InputMethod. Choose one using 'M-x set-input-method'
. Once you have an input method active, toggle it on and off using `C-\'.
To describe input methods, use 'C-h I'
I also bind 'set-input-method'
as follows:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-m i") 'set-input-method)
C-\ can also set input method. --XueFuqiao
If you always prefer UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1, you can use this:
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
This function, bound to a key, will allow you to enter unicode characters by code point: handy if you do not know which input method to use, but can find the code point of the character:
(defun unicode-insert (char) "Read a unicode code point and insert said character. Input uses `read-quoted-char-radix'. If you want to copy the values from the Unicode charts, you should set it to 16." (interactive (list (read-quoted-char "Char: "))) (ucs-insert char))
You can find charts of the characters here: http://www.unicode.org/charts/
If you use them, you might want to use the following setting to enter hexadecimal:
(setq read-quoted-char-radix 16)
, which I wrote for this job?If you know the emacs code point of the character, you can enter it with C-q instead.
You need 'M-x customize-option RET auto-coding-regexp-alist RET'
. You can then insert items such as
<meta\b[^>]*\bcontent="text/html; charset=UTF-8"[^>]*> utf-8 <\?xml\b[^>]*\bencoding="utf-8"[^>]*\?> utf-8
There may be a better way – these patterns are a little too rigid for reliable identification of all Unicode documents. At least you can edit them to cope with the set of documents you normally deal with.
You can use 'file-coding-system-alist'
to specify that, say, .xml and .utf8 files are utf-8-encoded.
But how can I get emacs to recognize utf-16 automatically? This is the encoding used on Windows for many files, including *.xml files. So using the file extension is not the correct approach. I am running gnu emacs version 21.2.1 on Windows XP. I tried the suggestion at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-emacs-windows/2002-09/msg00011.html i.e. require utf-16.el but without success. In any case I want to be able to say it after I am looking at a file in a buffer, not need to do it before hand. Even better I want emacs to automatically recognize this. This should be easy because the first two bytes in the file are the byte order mark. See http://www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#BOM This shows that the file is utf-16 and also tells whether it is little endian or big endian. Steve Tolkin
'C-x C-m c'
to specify the coding system when you find the file. You can't sensibly do anything after finding it. You need something like the following to auto-detect utf-16 with signature. Note that we were confused about the correct names for the utf-16 coding systems, and they have changed after Emacs 21.3.(setq coding-category-utf-16-le 'utf-16-le) (push 'coding-category-utf-16-le coding-category-list)
I (Steven Tolkin, who asked the question) added the above lines, but this was not enough. In fact it seemed at one time to cause this error: "Symbol's function definition is void: utf-16-le-pre-write-conversion". The fix, from http://www.gatago.com/gnu/emacs/help/20222624.html is to afterwards also add the following lines. This now makes emacs 21.3.1 work on Windows XP, i.e. it correctly opens an UTF-16 file that starts with a BOM.
;; Detect endianness of UTF-16 containing a Byte Order Mark U+FEFF (add-to-list 'auto-coding-regexp-alist '("^\xFF\xFE" . utf-16-le) t) (add-to-list 'auto-coding-regexp-alist '("^\xFE\xFF" . utf-16-be) t) ;; Add missing support functions (defun utf-16-le-pre-write-conversion (start end) nil) (defun utf-16-be-pre-write-conversion (start end) nil)
A further refinement is to add support for auto detecting the line ending. The following code will handle line ending differences:
;; Detect endianness of UTF-16 containing a Byte Order Mark U+FEFF ;; Detect EOL mode by looking for CR/LF on the first line (add-to-list 'auto-coding-regexp-alist '("^\xFF\xFE.*\x0D\x00$" . utf-16-le-dos) t) (add-to-list 'auto-coding-regexp-alist '("^\xFE\xFF.*\x0D\x00$" . utf-16-be-dos) t) (add-to-list 'auto-coding-regexp-alist '("^\xFF\xFE" . utf-16-le) t) (add-to-list 'auto-coding-regexp-alist '("^\xFE\xFF" . utf-16-be) t)
Some CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters have been "unified" in the Unicode standard. What does that mean? The Unicode FAQ by Markus Kuhn [1] says:
Some compilations of Chinese characters alone can already take 50000 positions. Putting them all in the BMP would not leave enough space for all the other characters there, so Unicode unified sets of character shapes that have the same meaning but vary in inessential detail. The Han Unification in Unicode article by Otfried Cheong [2] uses the following two characters as an example to illustrate what kinds of characters have been unified, even though this particular pair has not been unified:
footnote: In Fact, the radical on the left is simplified form. Simplified Chinese Character are not always simpler than other variants,it's more of a unified standard form! Anyway, there are indeed a lot of variants which cause communication difficulty in some extend in Chinese world. – A reader from Beijing
For some users, this unification was not acceptable, however. Otfried Cheong says:
Mokurai 黙雷 Cherlin says:
GNU Emacs 21 can read JIS (Japanese) encoded files, but in order to save such a file as UTF-8, you need a mapping from the JIS codepoints to the corresponding Unicode codepoints. You can do this using 'utf-translate-cjk-mode'
in Emacs CVS, or by loading mule-ucs in GNU Emacs 21, or by using external character encoding conversion tools. (The problem otherwise is that Emacs doesn't have character values to represent the relevant Unicodes in a char table for the CCL translation mechanism; Mule-UCS uses a complicated system of vectors to do the translation, and 'utf-translate-cjk-mode'
uses a new feature allowing hash tables to do the job.) In your InitFile:
(utf-translate-cjk-mode 1)
Now you should be able to save the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean part of the etc/HELLO file using UTF-8. To test it, copy a few CJK characters from the etc/HELLO file and save them in a UTF-8 file using `C-x C-m c utf-8 RET C-x C-s filename RET'.
Maybe worth noting that Windows, Mac, and Linux all have character selection tools designed to make cut/paste with special characters a little easier (e.g., linux utilities include gucharmap and kcharselect)?
If you have trouble pasting from other applications: Emacs by default requests a selection of type COMPOUND_TEXT. It seems that xterm (and other applications) ignore this sometimes and reply using UTF-8 encoded text.
Here's how to tell Emacs to request UTF-8 first:
(setq x-select-request-type '(UTF8_STRING COMPOUND_TEXT TEXT STRING))
Note that this was introduced post-Emacs 21.3, i.e. isn't released at the time of writing. Also UTF8_STRING isn't documented yet by X, and the behaviour of XFree86 and GNOME, Mozilla &c for these things has been quite unstable over different releases, sigh. The situation for selections is particularly complicated by X being a networked window system which may involve exchanging selections between old non-XFree86 or X.org releases…
I wrote the support, and I'm unclear what this is about. It seems confused about characters and coding systems. 'utf-translate-cjk-mode'
isn't released at least before Emacs 22.1. It mitigates Han unification for most users because the charsets it prefers depend on the language environment from which it was invoked. It doesn't allow the whole of HELLO to be encoded. In a released Emacs, you probably want to use Mule-UCS for CJK Unicode as above. – fx
I've tried to rewrite it. Better now? – AlexSchroeder
I modified your introduction in order to make it clear that displaying and saving Asian texts is not working, even under my 21.4 version. Benefit of UTF-8 is when you edit mixed text including Arabic (yes it is not right to left on the screen but you can read the characters at least), Russian, Western European characters; but if you input a Japanese sentence (with any Japanese input method) you can't save it. Am I wrong ? – NicolasBrouard?
I read some xml comment that makes emacs open that file utf-8 converted similar to the bash annotation:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
and without configuration in emacs. But i cant find it anymore. some ideas?
Do you simply mean <!-- -*- coding: utf-8 -*- -->
post-21.3. Then the coding cookie is only necessary if the encoding isn't utf-8, but a new mechanism ('auto-coding-functions'
) tries to figure that out without the cookie. As far as I remember, it only works if the charset specification in the XML declaration matches a coding system exactly, modulo case. (The function 'locale-charset-to-coding-system'
in the emacs-unicode CVS branch is designed to cope with things like `ISO8859_1' versus 'iso-8859-1'
.)Say you have opened an utf-8 encoded file and the encoding is wrong, what are, if any, the steps to being able to edit it correctly without having to reload the file? If it is impossible, can it be documented on this page?
'C-x C-m c utf-8'
.It seems Emacs does not support some combining characters. For instance if you paste or read from a file the word страни́ца (as seen in Wiktionary) you will see страни´ца. – DanielClemente, Apr2012, 18.104.22.168 in X.org in Debian

Laminations Lamentations
What questions do you want answered about laminators and lamination? Lamination experts weigh in on top questions.
2. What laminates will work with toner-based media and other evolved print media?
Caruso: Laminates have also evolved to compliment new printing methods. There are films and liquids that will work well with Indigo, Xerox, Canon, and others. The issue some may face is the fuser unit that is used to bond the toner to the paper. Most fuser units use fuser oil that coats a Teflon coated roller to prevent paper jams. The flow rate of fuser oil can sometimes be adjusted and a technician may liberally apply oil to reduce the amount of jams. Too much oil can create a problem when applying laminates.
Corey: Toner based media require thermal adhesives that are stickier than traditional wide-format laminate adhesives. Most pressure-sensitive laminates stick fine.
Mohni: Film laminates should work with toner-based media, but we always recommend testing to ensure 100 percent compatibility. Pressure sensitive (cold) laminates are recommended and will perform better than heat activated materials.
Pierce: Lamination films are available with different adhesives to address the ever changing toners and agents used with digital print engine output. Some of these toners and agents require a lower melting temperature adhesive and some require adhesives that are ultra aggressive. GBC offers laminating films that use a lo-melt adhesive (activation temperature range of 180°F to 210°F), standard adhesive (activation temperature range of 220°F to 250°F), and ultra aggressive digital adhesive that activates at the same range as our standard adhesive.
The actual substrate, whether it is polyester, polypropylene or nylon, is not the deciding factor with digitally produced output. The deciding factor is the requirements of the adhesive. Some output requires a lower melting temperature, whereas others require specially designed adhesives with ultra aggressive bonding properties.
3. What are the advantages/disadvantages of cold- vs. heat-based laminates?
Caruso: Thermal laminates should not be used when laminating media or substrates that do not react well to heat, such as vinyl media. Cold laminates can be easier to use because there is no dwell time. Thermal laminates are best for encapsulating an image. In the end, the application or the project usually dictates which method is best.
Corey: Cold laminates provide easier, faster set up, suitable for small runs, stick to vinyl banners and adhesive vinyl.
Thermal laminates have the problem of sticking and can cause heat problems with banner and vinyl. Also, thermal lamination adhesive is water-based and not suitable for outdoor use. Cold laminators are less expensive.
Heat laminates are less expensive per thickness. Pressure sensitive laminates are only available in textured surfaces in 10mil, can get thermal matte and lustre and gloss in 10 mil thickness.
Goodman: Some media is heat sensitive, so only cold laminates can be used on these products. Usually heat laminates are less expensive. With adhesion problems and silvering, heated laminates work better than pressure sensitive.
Mohni: Hot laminates have a price advantage over cold laminates. Some users who are new to finishing find hot laminates easier to handle because there is no release liner to work with.Finally, since hot lamination films don't have "active" or "sticky" adhesive until heat is applied, dirt is less likely to get trapped in the adhesive.
Cold laminating films are the dominant products in the marketplace because of the final application and print technology. Many PSPs are printing to self-adhesive vinyl, thus cold laminating films are the best solution for use with that print media. Also, cold films stick to just about everything, including many high surface-energy polyesters.
Pierce: Cold, or pressure sensitive, over-laminates must be used with heat sensitive output. An example of this is the use of cold laminates for signs printed on adhesive-backed vinyl. Thermal laminates cannot be used for this type of high volume application.

Originally identified as a Suppressor gene for FLocculation, SFL1 encodes a 766-amino acid transcriptional repressor of flocculation-related genes (1, 2). SFL1 is required for normal cell-surface assembly in vegetative growth (1), and deletion enhances pseudohyphal and invasive growth (2).
Sfl1p contains two domains homologous to Myc oncoproteins and the yeast heat shock transcription factor Hsf1p (1). The Myc homologous region in Sfl1p overlaps with conserved regions in other eukaryotic proteins including mammalian MyoD1 and immunoglobulin enhancer-binding proteins, as well as Drosophila achaete-scute, twist and daughterless gene products. The N-terminal region of Sfl1p shows homology to the DNA-binding domain of Hsf1p (1).
Two-hybrid analysis has indicated that Sfl1p interacts specifically with Tpk2p, the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A, which negatively regulates Sfl1p function (2, 4, 3). Phosphorylation by protein kinase A relieves Sfl1p-mediated repression by prohibiting dimerization and DNA-binding by Sfl1p (4), and a tpk2Delta mutation increases the levels of Sfl1p protein associated with specific promoter elements (3).
Yeast two-hybrid and GST chromatography interaction experiments determined that Sfl1p interacts directly with Cyc8p, a component of the general corepressor Cyc8p-Tup1p that inhibits the transcription of many diversely regulated genes (3). Electrophoretic mobility shift and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrate that Sfl1p is present at the promoters of Cyc8p-Tup1p-repressible genes, and repression data suggest that Sfl1p inhibits transcription by recruiting Cyc8p-Tup1p via a specific domain in the Sfl1p protein (3). Co-immunoprecipitation experiments link Sfl1p to Ssn2p, Ssn8p, Sin4p and Rox3p, suggesting that Sfl1p may interact with Srb/mediator proteins to inhibit transcription by the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme (6). Sin4p and Ssn3p, components of specific RNA polymerase II subcomplexes required for Cyc8p-Tup1p repression activity, are required for Sfl1p repression function, indicating a possible mechanism for Sfl1p-mediated repression via Cyc8p-Tup1p and specific subunits of the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme (3). Taken together with previous data, these observations suggest a link between cAMP signaling and Cyc8p-Tup1p-mediated transcriptional repression (3).

In the amount of time it takes to read this article, a number of things are in motion. As you contemplate that first sentence, you quickly notice that your computer just made a noise, "Oh look, a new email". If you have focus you will ignore that email, but a majority of people will run to that email. The email is just a vendor asking you for a conference call to discuss a new product, "Great, now I can get back to that article I was reading". You scroll your mouse, or finger for you tablet/smart phone users, and try to figure out where in this article you stopped reading. While you are doing that a text comes through, then a Facebook message, someone mentioned you on Twitter, your LinkedIn app just made a noise, oh my another phone call, then 5 more emails. This of course doesn't count the items on your desk including a stack of papers, 2 month end reports you forgot to read, 3 trade magazines, some random mail, a Diet Coke from yesterday, and a book you may have purchased from Amazon. By the way, you need to pick up milk on your way home tonight. This represents a five minute sub section in the life of today's self storage managers, investors, and owners.
I just want to start this blog by saying that the details matter in the operation of a self storage facility. They matter so much; your self-storage business depends on them to run smoothly on a day to day basis. Often in our insanely busy lives, a smart phone is beeping, the phone is ringing, or while a family member is talking in the back ground we just miss things. Unfortunately in the extremely litigious society we live in, these distractions can easily come back to haunt us. It's very easy, while working on 10 things at once, to accidently over lock the wrong unit, miss something on a rental agreement, or send a lien notice to the wrong address. It's easy to misplace a file, throw out an important paper, or forget to call back a customer. This is just the result of working within a distracting environment.
Back in the late 1970's to the mid-1980's Van Halen was one of the most popular rock bands in the world. Over their career they have sold over 86 million records worldwide and have had the most #1 hits in the history of Billboard's Mainstream Rock Chart. Being a Van Halen fan for many years, I consistently heard of a stipulation they always placed in their concert agreements. The stipulation stated that there was to be a bowl of M&M's in the dressing room of the concert venue. This bowl of M&M's was to be free of any brown colored M&M's. If any brown colored M&M's were found in this bowl then the band did not have to play and, in addition, they would receive full compensation for the show. Most people, including myself, found this to be a laughable requirement. Everyone assumed that this was just another hilarious stipulation from a band didn't really want to work. Actually the real reason this stipulation existed was genius.
As we close out the 3rd quarter of 2012, it's time to start thinking about your self storage facility's goals and projections for 2013. How close were your projections in 2012? Were you above or below your projections for income, expenses, and NOI? Was your facility's move ins, move outs, and net units at an acceptable level? Do you believe your facility provides the best customer service and amenities in the area? Are your facility managers fully trained? All of these items can have a dramatic effect on the financial success of your self storage facility. In our never ending quest to increase NOI we must consistently review our facility's expenses. Here are 6 expense areas you should review on a regular basis:
Below is a recent infographic from Sparefoot, one of the self storage industries largest aggregators. One of the more interesting items on this infographic is the section discussing REIT owned facilities vs. Mom & Pop owned facilities. Out of a total of 50,050 facilities, the five largest self storage companies only comprised about 1% of the total market. Our industry resembles the Pizza industry in many ways. Yes, Pizza Hut, Domino's, and Papa John's are huge companies with extensive marketing budgets, but they still have less market share then independent restaurants.
In addition the section on industry returns is great. Compared to other industries self storage had higher returns, in 2011, then the health care, retail, and even timber industries. It's fairly obvious why the self storage industry has received a flood of institutional money.

Remember, the self storage industry is an industry unto itself. The self storage industry is not the hospitality industry, office space industry, medical supply industry, or the restaurant industry. The self storage industry has its own laws, verbiage, nuances, and operational standards. The importance of hiring a management company that specializes in the self storage industry cannot be overstated. Do not try to "go at it alone" or "learn on the fly". We are here to help you.

As a manager, business owner, and entrepreneur I am constantly looking for interesting things to read and new ways to motivate my team. I really enjoy fiction, Game of Thrones at the moment, but some of the most interesting and motivating things you can read are often biographies. The other day I was reading a story about Bruce Lee. For those of you who don't know, Bruce Lee was an actor, martial arts instructor, philosopher, film director, screenwriter, and founder of the Jeet Kune Do Martial Arts Movement. He was widely considered to be the most influential marital artist of the 20th century. Suffice to say, Lee was obsessed with pushing himself both physically and mentally.
Over the last 30 years technology has infiltrated every aspect of our lives. This major change started for consumers in the mid-1980s with the adoption of the personal computer. Fast forward 30 years and now technology is the epicenter of our daily lives. No longer are people forced to carry a cell phone that is the size of a brick or use a computer the size of a file cabinet. Consumers can now buy a refrigerator with internet access and HI FI speakers or control their home's thermostat with a smart phone. In addition, communication is now almost instantaneous and that new smart phone in the store has more processing power then a personal computer had just 10 years ago. This new technology will open more doors for the self-storage industry than ever before. The ability to be in constant contact with customers, existing or potential, is an almost overwhelming wave of potential. The changes in customer service will revolve around three items, product quality, communication, and information storage.
I began myself storage career, 12 years ago, at a smallself storage facility in Salt Lake City, UT. This facility was about 25 years old at that time. My facility had no climate controlled units, an office the size of a 5x10, and my onsite apartment was two converted 10x40's. I used a DOS based self storage management software, dot matrix printer, and an electronic gate system (that I had to manually update each morning). Every month I would put together a "Monthly Package" of reports that were sent to my home office. By the time I finished printing and copying all of the information, the report was 1"-2" inches think and took me about 2-3 hours to complete. We didn't have a website or an email address and the yellow pages were still our best marketing tool. What's not so nostalgic about this story is that some self storage facilities still rely on the same procedures and technology I mentioned above to complete their day to day operations.
The internet has changed everything. The idea that you can have the world's knowledge at your fingertips in an instant is overwhelming to say the least. With all of this technology available how do we hope to integrate it into our day to day self storage operations? The answer is that we pick and choose the technological options that work best for us. With that being said, you don't need to become an Apple Genius or understand the algorithm that powers Google's search engine. What you do need to understand are the basic frameworks of technology, how to implement it, and what you want to accomplish with this new technology.
First, let's start with basic hardware. Everyone needs a computer, printer, scanner, and a high speed internet connection. There is no getting around this, you need the basics first. Once you have this you are a ready to begin setting up your system.
One of the most effective ideas/tools available in the market place right now is the idea of cloud computing. I am sure you have heard about cloud computing from a television advertisement, college/high school student, or a computer magazine. So what is it? Cloud computing is using a device (i.e. computer, smart phone, or tablet) to access information stored in an online database...that's it, pure and simple. For example, I personally use Gmail for all of my email correspondence. Gmail is Google's email product. You can sign up for an account at www.gmail.com. I can access my Gmail account through my computer in my office, my smart phone, or my Samsung Android tablet. If I send an email through my Gmail account I have access to that email on any of my devices. If I delete an email through one of my devices, it will remove it from all of the devices because every device pulls the information from the same email database. I also have a calendar application through Gmail that works in the same fashion so I can keep my schedule straight across multiple devices. No more telling clients "let me check my schedule when I get back to my office". I always have an updated schedule with my cloud based Google Calendar.
Another example would be online self storage management software. As an operations manager my job is made much easier with online access to each of my self storage facilities. I no longer have to wait for my facility'smanager to fax or send me reports. I just launch the internet browser on my computer, smart phone, or tablet and review the reports I need instantly. If I need to make a price adjustment, update a special, or change access I can accomplish this from anywhere. The costs associated with online management software will be between $45 to $200 per month, but well worth the cost if you have multiple locations or just like to look at the progress of your self storage from home.
Do you need to make daily notes or keep a journal of your daily activities? Try using Evernote, www.evernote.com. Evernote allows you to access your notes no matter your location or device. Evernote will also allow you to share your notes with other Evernote users. Let's say you are working on a project and one of the participants in the project is located in Seattle and another is in New York. How do you keep everyone on the same schedule and keep all of the information flowing between each of the participants? Create a notebook in Evernoteand share it amongst the group of people working on the project. Any note input from New York will instantly be available in Seattle and vice versa. If you are looking for something even simpler, how about creating a grocery list. Why carry paper anymore, when you can just carry your smart phone or table to the grocery store and have instant access to your list?
How about file sharing or accounting? Do you need to share that excel file, power point presentation, or have access to yourself storage facility's P&L? Consider file sharing services such as Jungledisk (www.jungledisk.com) ,Dropbox (www.dropbox.com) , or Sugarsync (www.sugarsync.com) . Consider online accounting software such as Quickbooks online (www.quickbooks) or Peachtree (www.peachtree.com). Most of these programs are also available as apps for smart phone and tablet operating systems such as Apple's IOS, Android, Blackberry, or Windows Mobile
The beauty of cloud computing is that you can now share items with your family, conduct business, or review your self storage facility's reports and financials from anywhere. The self storage industry is extremely slow in adopting technology and we need to change this. You can install most of these technologies for under $1000.00, including hardware. Include a smart phone and a tablet; the cost will be about $3000.00, including hardware and service contracts. There are so many "cost effective" technological tools in the market place today, that there is no excuse not to upgrade your existing self storageoperations.

As a self storage facility manager or owner, you are consistently evaluating your strengths and weaknesses in a given market. Over the last few years self storage markets have become more competitive than ever before. Conditions such as weak real estate market, an excessive supply of self storage in many areas, and a less than predictable economy have left many managers and owners scratching their heads. With these conditions hanging over the head of a number of self storage facilities, the efficient management of your facility has never been more important. Most facility managers and owners have already taken the steps to cut back on unnecessary items that weigh on expenses. As a manager or owner you may make one less trip to the office supply store, maybe you are taking your employees out to lunch less, and maybe you are even cutting your facility's lawn yourself. Once you have trimmed down most of the items you deem to be an excess, what's left? Now is the time to creatively manage your facility. In order to become more creative in managing and selling your facility consider focusing on the following items: Have I hired the right staff for my facility? Have I created a marketing plan that is not only creative but economically feasible? What if I have multiple facilities in a given area?
In order to creatively manage your facility you must have a staff willing and able to do this. One of the most important aspects of running any business, but storage in particular is hiring the right manager to manage your facility. When you start the search for someone to handle your facility, start by doing some investigative work. Visit the competition in your market and make notes of the things you liked and disliked about the managers operating these stores. Once you have some candidates review their resumes and invite them for an interview. Does the candidate give off a good feeling? Are they pleasant? Do they have a sense of humor? Do they know the market area? Would you personally rent a unit from this person? All of these are intangibles that raise a consumer's comfort level, and if the consumer is comfortable, they will be more likely to rent from your facility. Along with intangibles, does the candidate have any skills? As the storage industry evolves, technology becomes a greater part of day-to-day operations. Does the candidate understand how to use a computer? Do they have any problems answering the phone or making delinquency calls? Are they able to handle minor accounting? All of these items are part of the makings of a successful manager and can affect the potential of your investment. You can train someone how to run a computer or clean a vacant unit, what you cannot train is intangibles such as personality, sense of humor, and attitude. Remember you are hiring this person to SELL your facility, not just to sit back and collect payments.
Once you have hired the manager for your facility you can now focus on putting marketing dollars to good use. Creative management is not putting a circus in the front of your facility or always "thinking outside of the box". The idea is to create and implement creative marketing ideas that not only differentiate you from your competition but which are economically feasible as well. One of the most important marketing tools you have is the people that already rent from you. Now most mangers or owners will say "Well we already have a referral program". That may be true but how well are you cultivating it. Explaining to your customers about a referral program won't necessarily have them running into the streets to tell their friends or family. Referrals come down to how well you take care of your customers. Consider handing out bottles of water during the summer months and offering coffee and hot chocolate during the winter months to your customers. This accomplishes two distinct goals. One, it allows you to help keep customers hydrated during the summer or warm during the winter, something they won't soon forget. Second, it gives you an idea of what the tenant may be storing. Consider sending out welcome and thank you letters to your tenants. How often can you remember getting a welcome or thank you letter from anyone you have done business with? During the holidays consider using a special for people who need to store Christmas gifts. Along with the holiday special designate one storage unit as a "Santa's Helper Unit", complete with a table, wrapping paper, scissor's, and tape. Another idea is to print $5.00 coupons to hand out to your customers during times you deem necessary. If you are on the phone with a potential customer and a current customer walks in to make a payment, instead of putting on hold a potential customer, just hand your current customer a $5.00 coupon. The current customer will be happy you didn't let them slip into oblivion and hopefully your facility gained a new customer from the time on the phone. In addition, if your facility does not already have a web presence, get one. There are a number of internet companies that will reserve a domain name and give you access to a website builder for under $200.00 per year. Also, consider using a web based self storage lead generator. With a little research you can have your facility listed on a number of different self storage lead websites with a minimal cost to your facility.
A number of self storage facility owners have more than one location in a given area. One way to creatively manage these facilities would be to use smaller facilities as satellite locations. If you have a smaller facility in a given area which is within an acceptable distance to a larger, better staffed facility, consider using the smaller facility as a satellite location. The managers of the larger location should be able to integrate the operations of the smaller location into the operations of the larger location. While the integration of two facilities sounds difficult, most self storage management software has options to run multiple facility databases. If you have more than one large location, cross train your assistant managers so that they can manage multiple facilities. This handles two distinct issues, one it is usually easier to higher people for more hours and your assistants are already trained in the company's policy and procedures.
Creative management is about being efficient and effective with a facility's resources. Often trying a few new ideas may be more useful then waiving an administration fee or giving away a free lock to a new customer. Consider focusing on items which can make a direct impact on your facility's profitability such as hiring, marketing, and logistics. Remember it only takes one good idea to make a campaign successful. Don't be afraid to try different things and to make adjustments along the way. Sometimes focusing on a few items can make the difference between an average year and a blatantly successful one.

Officials expect the situation to remain active and new leaks are regularly being detected. Warming weather in the past week has helped to dissipate the propane vapor that has leaked into the adjoining snowpack. Thawing and freezing snow causes the snow to crust over making it harder for the propane to find a pathway out of the snowpack. Propane vapor is heavier than air and seeks the path of least resistance while flowing downhill just like water would.
"I'm pleased with the response from the Placer County Environmental Health Department, Office of Emergency Services and Sheriff's Office, and their cooperative effort with the Truckee Fire Protection District and other neighboring agencies in remedying a serious and difficult situation," said Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery, whose Fifth District includes the Serene Lakes area. "When these incidents are resolved, we will need to take a look at future actions that can prevent this situation from recurring."
The weight of an extraordinary snowpack this year has damaged pipes, valves, regulators and tanks, which has led to leaks. While there are no street closures currently in effect, there are individual residences that have been closed off with snow berms and entry is prohibited until propane levels dissipate.
Accessing buried propane tanks has proven a challenge. The use of snow blowers, front loaders and snow plows can be problematic.
Anyone who smells propane or natural gas inside or outside a building should call 911. They also should avoid smoking, starting engines or motors, turning on cooking appliances, using heating-air conditioning systems or using other ignition sources if they smell propane or natural gas. They should also avoid any activity that can create a spark that might ignite propane. Even flipping on a light switch can create an ignition source.

Monoclonal antibodies to TLR7 (Clone IMG4G6) and Dectin-2 (Clone IMG3D1) for studying innate immune receptors, anti-viral responses and inflammatory signaling. TLR7TLR7, along with TLR3, 8 and 9 form a group of TLRs found in endosomes in the basal state. The endosomal TLRs can mature into active forms upon ligand stimulation. The TLR7 specific monoclonal antibody clone IMG4G6 is among the first monoclonals available for TLR7 and is a unique and new tool to understand TLR7 mechanism of action and activities. TLR7 binds synthetic ligands such as Imiquimod and Loxoribine which are used as antiviral compounds. TLR7 also binds ssRNA from viruses. Because of these properties TLR7 is a strong candidate and an intense focus for development of antiviral or immunomodulatory compounds as drugs especially when targeted to dendritic cells in vaccine development. TLR7 Monoclonal Antibody (Cat. No. IMG-6675D)
View Imgenex complete listing of TLR7 related products. Dectin-2Dectin-2 is a C-Lectin superfamily member and a Pattern Recognition Receptor which binds fungi - similar to Dectin-1. Additionally Dectin-2 also utilizes the Syk-CARD9-NF-kB signaling pathway. Dectin-2 appears to be expressed at low levels on peripheral blood monocytes but is upregulated on monocytes at inflammatory sites indicating it is an activation marker. Dectin-2 specific monoclonal antibody clone IMG3D1 provides greater insight into the expression and role of Dectin-2 especially in the activation of Th17 cells. Blockade of Dectin-2 leads to inhibition of T cell production of IL-17 and a decreased Th1 response in Candida albicans models of infection in mice. IL-17A deficient mice are highly susceptible to Candida infection. Yeast and fungal hyphae induce Th17 cell differentiation and in the absence of normal Dectin-2 function, at least in mice, yeast infections are prevalent, it appears that Dectin-2 is instrumental in the induction of Th17 responses to C. albicans and fungal infections. Dectin-2 Monoclonal Antibody (Cat. No. IMG-6682AF647)
SummaryTLR7 and Dectin-2 specific monoclonal antibodies enable development of assays, read-out systems and potential target development for Western Blot, Flow Cytometry or IHC applications. |

No, but they may want to do something soon, and looking further ahead, carrying Ryan's $5.1 million per season cap hit will make the squeeze a little tighter after next season when both Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry become unrestricted free agents. It seems doubtful Anaheim can keep all three.
But that's the longer term view. Short term, the Ducks could fire coach Randy Carlyle, which seems unlikely, or they could shuffle the deck. GM Bob Murray might be of a mind right now to try and recover some of the young assets lost to Toronto in the Francois Beauchemin deal last winter. The Ducks made the playoffs and Beauchemin played well, but now the team's lousy, he's 31 years old and both Joffrey Lupul and cherubic blueliner Jake Gardiner are playing well with the Leafs.
Murray and Brian Burke have done deals before - Anaheim moved J.S. Giguere's monster contract, the Leafs dumped Vesa Toskala and Jason Blake - and it seems some teams are comfortable doing deals with certain others. Look at all the trades Vancouver and Florida have swung in recent seasons. Burke loves Ryan, and indeed, he turned down overtures from Cliff Fletcher in his final months in Anaheim when the Silver Fox was pitching hard for Ryan.
So should the Leafs be interested now? Yes. Does it matter than Ryan's another scoring winger, not a centre? Not really. The Leafs are in the business of acquiring top six forwards as assets. The positional balance can be addressed later. Is Ryan's salary a problem? He's got three more years after this one at $5.1 million. That's hefty, but not a cap crippler for a team like the Leafs.
Which brings us to the cost, and here's the tricky part. Ryan's a 30-35 goal man, a real stylist out there, not surprising for a legendary roller hockey player. But he doesn't really have a physical component to his game, he's not an accomplished penalty killer and he's off to a so-so start this season.
You don't want to overpay, but here's a guy it's easy to get over-excited about. Obviously, a young defenceman would have to be part of a deal, and maybe that's Luke Schenn or Carl Gunnarson or Cody Franson. Nazem Kadri could be in there. Stuart Percy is a young blueliner and Leaf first round playing junior in Mississauga. Nik Kulemin might make sense, but he's having an off-year, too. With the Leafs high in the NHL standings, a 2012 first rounder could come into play.
Some combination of that group might make sense. Perhaps it's Kulemin and Franson for Ryan. Schenn and Kadri? The Leafs have assets, more than in a long time, the result of steady work by Burke and Dave Nonis over the past three years. The guessing is Anaheim would want to net a significant name, and Schenn is the one young Leaf, formerly the fifth overall in the draft, that would carry the most cache despite his ups and downs this season.
You can bet Burke will kick the tires on this one, see if Ryan really is up for grabs. He knows the young man well and believes in him, and he and Murray can do business, with the fact they're a conference apart making it a little easier for both. The guessing is the Leafs would have interest best described as "mild" to "medium," given that they've already got some offensive wingers having good seasons. But price can change desire on the NHL trade market.

Ed Hardy Model AC-WN
From the beginning, Christian Audigier was drawn to the rock and roll style of fashion. In fact, he wanted to be a famous rock star, but lacked the singing voice. Christian then moved into fashion, building the impressive portfolio you see today. Christian and legendary tattoo artist Don Ed Hardy have combined their unconventional approaches and formed a vintage tattoo-inspired watch line to complement the well-established Ed Hardy clothing line.
Any comparable designer would rest on their laurels after having made such a distinct impression on the fashion world. However, Christian Audigier is not resting. His charismatic and colorful approach to fashion, fueled by Christian's ebullient promotional strategy, allowed him to elevate the tattoo art of Don Hardy and create Ed Hardy clothing. Ed Hardy is one of the hottest new brands and worn by style-conscious celebrities and non-celebrities alike.

I just downloaded the 430mb (full version) it in like 7 minutes (Woot for fast MS site, lol) Got no issues so far, but nothing has been faster..*yet*
i'm gonna image my vista partition before i install this... don't wanna find out that it stops my OEM hack....... ummm....... its only OEM'd coz of testing purposes on a spare machine.... yea... thats it..... thats if i can install it with all the update problems i had!
i'm sorry... what? what on earth are you trying to say? the ram available is not relevant because... ?
just downloaded the standalone installer (i keep all my files & installers & everything, that way if i want 2 use it again or a friend does i dont have 2 redownload everything.. expecially if i reinstall.....) hopefully the SP1 will fix all the update problems... fingers crossed...
Silly question: you've downloaded the correct version? See that in your system specs you've listed Vistax64 as your system. What error-message are you getting? Specifically the ones listed in your Event Viewer.
Yesterday at work I had a Vista Home Premium x32 laptop that would not take the standalone installer but worked fine through windows updates. Sitting here waiting for RC1 to uninstall and damn it's taking a long time
Yep, same happened to one of the lappies I had on testing here at work. Removing the RC1 took ages (close to an hour 30), but it has to be done in order to get the RTM in, sadly enough.
mussels your problem with available ram...in vista install it is simple you have 4gb ram in your sistem with vista x64 ok, and the vista have XXX MB in your ram ok? next stop your pc and take 2GB ram from the system, boot and see the difference, also you can try with 1gb and 3bg on system. this is easy part and can be done in 1 hour. the not so easy part is to compare the memory quantity of vista after 2-3 weeks from a clean install. you can run some memory monitor to have a clear idea. I also don't want to add in this dialog the ready bust, the indexing service or the windows Prefetch and SuperFetch. (all that can influence direct the memory available for the application) for that I say the memory available after vista install is not relevant
^^ I don't think Mussel's has a problem to be honest, he was discussing how post-SP1 and SP1 address PAE on supported motherboards. You've explained something we all already know. ^^ Fair play though, as I presume English isn't your native language so, you did well, in a cryptic fashion.
this is correct the english isn't my native language. so please forgive my english. I dont say about the PAE, I simple say that vista dont have a strict size in memory, the size is hardware dependent, but also the vista is self managing OS. I play fair
its ok, im not as stupid as i look! i am smart enough 2 not download the 32bit SP1! lol i was previously having errors with updates that after a shitload of research & doing everything the knowledgebase mentioned i could not resolve the problem... but the whole time it totally passed my mind that im using symbolic links! i just copied all my program files to the c drive & replaced the symbolic links & reattempted the SP1 & it all works now!!!!! so im running SP1 activated & finaly have all available updates!... now im gonna recreate the symbolic links & if i have any other problem, i'll know what it is!!!!!! about time i can finally close that update problem thread! (once i confirm that online updates work fine.. so far it appears that they do...)
this is the 1st time i've had an up-to-date vista (well... not counting the beta releases!) thank god!!!!!!! anyone else with OEM hacks have good or bad news after applying the service pack???????? (obviously there will b some of each) (update: online updates work fine at last!)
My vista testing box (Abit NF7 XP3200) seems to be working ok with sp1 installed over an activated install. not using any bootloader hacks, just the asus oem slip code bios. has to be said that vista runs like crap with single core 1gb mem. It barely leaves the hd alone long enough to use any games or apps and thats with indexing/superfetch and readyboost dissabled. Ill just add that with ati x800xt and cat 8.3 halo2 still runs 3x faster under XP cat 8.3. under xp all settings maxed is very playable inc 2x aa andunder vista all settings are at lowest and it still chugs.
Bollocks! I was hoping someone would be able to test out an X2 (Athlon) with an AGP card and an nForce chipset. Guess I better pull my finger out and cure my own curiosity and finally reformat my system and try out Vista. Want to see if the Code 43 error is fixed within SP1. Hmmm....
i'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. I was saying that vista 32 bit is capped at either 3 or 3.5GB, so that this is fooling users into thinking that 32 bit supports all their ram. you are talking about ram usage, which is quite different.
hey i understand you, well at least the people who gave feedback for sp1 wanted to have all their ram to be read up, they never said they want all their ram to be utilized...lol but i have no idea what he's saying either

The MAROON Vol. 64, No. 9 Loyola University, New Orleans, Louisiana 70118 October 25, 1985 University addresses students' poor writing By Scott McLetchie Executive Copy Editor FIGHTING DAD WRITING What is the difference between to, too and two? That's the question the Rev. Benjamin Wren, S.J., associate professor of history, asked one of his World Civilization classes. He didn't receive an answer. "Not one of them could tell me the difference," Wren said. After Dr. Stan Makielski, associate professor of political science, jokingly referred to U.S. Senators as "prima donnas" in class one day, several students, on a subsequent test, called them "pre-Madonnas." On another assignment, Makielski learned from one student that "sposed" has now apparently replaced "supposed" in the English vocabulary. These errors go beyond the realm of the typographical or common. They point to a lack of proficiency in basic language skills, writing and vocabulary. "The ability to write well must be fostered in every student, both through the Common Curriculum and through program requirements," stated the report "Planning for the Future: A Focus on Excellence," issued by Loyola's Standing Committee for Academic Planning in March 1984. The SCAP report recommended an academic program entitled "Writing Across the Curriculum," which will be implemented by next fall. Details of the program have yet to be developed, said Dr. Richard Greene, assistant vice president for Academic Affairs. The university is spending the 1985-86 academic year searching for a program director, deciding on the structure of the program's advisory board and searching for funding, he said. The program will concentrate not only on basic skills such as grammar and spelling, but also on critical thinking and analysis specific to each university major, Greene said. One aspect of the program will provide workshops to help the faculty develop innovative assignments designed for students in each major, he said. "Loyola does perceive that not only writing skills but also thinking skills [among students] are not high enough to achieve the students' maximum potential," Greene said. Commenting on the student writing, Greene said that while undergraduates are being taught the fundamentals of writing — grammar, vocabulary, basic organization — intensity of self expression remains lacking. The Composition 122 program helps, but the university should do more, he said. Dr. Richard E. Johnson, English department chairman, believes the Comp. 122 system is very successful in what it is designed to do. "I think the pass/fail system [of grading Comp. 122] has awakened students to the urgency of the course, and there is a certain alertness to the task," Johnson said. Greene agrees. "122's specific objective is to have students achieve a basic college level proficiency at one time in their college career," he said. "The university needs to assure that the student matures academically over a four- or five-year course of study." To achieve that goal, the program will require a great amount of writing —Photo by John McCusker Students protest SGA referendum By Mary Caffrey Staff writer A group of students has protested the role of the Student Government Association in its referendum Oct. 14- 15. Students for Sane Spending, a 10- member group, filed a complaint with the Student Government Court of Review Oct. 18, asking them to throw out the results of the referendum and hold a new one. The hearing on the complaint began yesterday. Chief Justice Brad Tjask said the Court of Review has two issues to examine: first, the alleged tearing down of "vote no" signs by SGA members, and second,.the SGA role. encouraging students to approve the referendum. Trask said the sign incident should be easy to determine, but the neutrality issue could be a big problem. "Much of what has happened this semester has no precedent and isn't covered in the constitution," he said. "We have nothing to go by." Any decision by the Court of Review is final. The SGA's student referendum asked Loyola students to help fund a parking garage/recreation center through a $200 tuition increase for 25 years beginning in Fall 1987. The referendum passed with 53.5 percent of the vote. The protest group complained that the SGA's role in organizing and endorsing.. the referendum, denied students the opportunity to fully express their interests. The complaint states, "the SGA was seen by the student body as supporting the approval of the proposal, in addition to the role of overseeing the election. It is clear that conflicts of interest were present, thus rendering this referendum null and void." The organizers of the protest group, Chris Wiseman , political science sophomore, and Darryl Mayeux, psychology sophomore, met on Monday with Vincent P. Knipfing, vice-president for Student Affairs, to gain the administration's support. According to Wiseman, Knipfing said the SGA acted properly toward the referndum. "Knipfing said he felt someone needed to take a leadership role in the issue, and he was glad the SGA took that role," Wiseman said. In their complaint, Wiseman and Mayeaux criticized Arthur's role in the referendum. They noted that while Arthur's presidential contingency fund financed the "vote yes" effort, an advertisement in the Oct. 4 issue of The Maroon bore the SGA letterhead. "Mr. Arthur's name never appears in the ad, thus giving the appearance See Writing/page 5 See Protest/page 4 *The Maroon* will not publish next week due to the university holiday 1, Publication will resume Nov.

Park Slope food co-op schedules vote on whether to hold a referendum on banning Israeli products
Fight has been stewing for three yearsThe 39-year-old organic-food haven has scheduled a vote for next month to decide whether to hold a referendum of its 16,000 members on banning Israeli-made products like hummus, paprika, and seltzer.
The coop has taken stands before - banning bottled water, Coca-Cola, and hummus from a Brooklyn company accused of mistreating its workers. But no issue has split members like the Israel boycott.
"Anything we've boycotted in the past, the sentiment for the boycott was at almost 100%," said general coordinator Ann Herpel.

Truck Rollover in Itasca Co.
Posted at: 02/05/2013 3:39 PM
| Updated at: 02/05/2013 3:40 PM
On Sunday, at approximately 7:00 am, the Itasca County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call of a motor vehicle accident approximately 15 miles south of Grand Rapids on County Road 3, also known as River Road.
Deputies responded to the scene and observed that a pickup truck had overturned after traveling off of the road striking some trees.
Deputies found the lone occupant trapped inside the vehicle. The driver of the pickup was identified as William Jay Litchke, age 49, of Grand Rapids.
Litchke was transported by Meds-1 Ambulance Service to Grand Itasca Hospital and then airlifted to St. Mary's in Duluth due to possible injuries from the accident and hypothermia.

When manufacturing plywood and veneer, it is critical that logs be softened before they are transported into plants for peeling and further processing. If not sufficiently softened, logs can split in the peeling process, resulting in lost productivity and waste. |
The ProcessTo insure logs are properly softened in the plywood
and veneer manufacturing process, they are bathed in outdoor troughs
filled with a caustic hot-water solution. Once the logs are sufficiently
softened, they are removed from these vats, loaded on conveyor belts
and transported into the plant for peeling. The ProblemLogs frequently jam in the vats; to avoid production
interruptions and/or downtime, a crane operator using a hydraulic arm
unclogs the jams, and makes sure the logs keep moving onto the output
conveyor. Seems simple enough, however, oftentimes the crane operator's
view becomes obscured by steam created by the combination of the caustic
hot water bath and cooler outdoor temperatures. During the colder winter months
especially, the steam produces almost 'white-out' conditions, sometimes
blocking the crane operator's view completely, making it impossible to
see where he is swinging his boom. Out feed cab operators also are
hindered when steam obscures visibility. Production comes to a complete
halt when the loader can't see jammed logs through the steam. Not only
does the presence of steam reduce productivity throughout the plant, it
can compromise worker safety as well. Note the lack of visibility from a typical view of the assembly line. The ThermoVision™ infrared camera helps the operator see through the steam to safely complete his tasks. The SolutionInfrared cameras detect heat energy and, as such, see through fog, steam, smoke and other obscurants. By using ThermoVision™ IR cameras, several major North American plywood manufacturers have implemented systems that allow crane and out feed cab operators to see through steam and maintain optimal productivity. FLIR IR cameras were placed on both the loader roofs and the out feed cabs. The infrared cameras are tilt-mounted and enclosed for protection against rain, debris and other harsh environmental conditions. Operators view images on high quality flat screen monitors, making it easy to see where logs are jamming regardless of weather conditions. These systems are affordable and easily installed by your in-house integration team. Return on Investment
Before installing infrared cameras, plywood manufacturers were not able to operate effectively from November through March. After installation of the ThermoVision systems, production levels and safety were maintained year-round, regardless of steam produced by weather conditions. One major US plywood manufacturer reported estimated cost savings in productivity and operating output of over $250,000 annually. If you have problems with steam halting production in your facility because equipment operators cannot see through it, call us for free demonstration and expert consultation.
About Infrared Technology...
Thermal, or infrared energy, is light that is not
visible because its wavelength is too long to be detected by the human
eye; it's the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we perceive as
heat. Unlike visible light, in the infrared world, everything with a
temperature above absolute zero emits heat. Even very cold objects, like
ice cubes emit infrared. The higher the object's temperature, the
greater the IR radiation emitted. Infrared allows us to see what our
eyes cannot. Infrared cameras produce images of invisible
infrared or "heat" radiation and provide precise non-contact temperature
measurement capabilities. Nearly everything gets hot before it fails,
making IR cameras extremely cost-effective and valuable diagnostic tools
in many diverse applications. And as businesses strive to improve
manufacturing efficiencies, manage energy consumption, improve product
quality, and enhance worker safety, new applications continually emerge. How do Infrared cameras work?
An infrared camera is a non-contact device that detects infrared energy (heat) and converts it into an electronic signal, which is then processed to produce TV/video images and perform temperature calculations. Heat sensed by a thermographic camera can be very precisely quantified, or measured, allowing you to not only monitor thermal performance, but also identify and evaluate the relative severity of heat-related problems. Recent innovations, particularly detector technology, the incorporation of built-in visual imaging, automatic functionality, and software development, deliver more cost-effective thermal analysis solutions than ever before. |
