Save Money, Stay Compliant with Smart Absorbent Usage
When keeping your facility clean and safe, there is more to consider than just general cleanliness. An effective clean-up approach for routine leaks, drips and spills can greatly improve employee safety, regulatory compliance and your bottom line. It’s worth your time to review the way you control and contain industrial fluids and chemicals in your facility.

Town Enhances Public Safety by Expanding Wireless Access
With its decision to deploy 4.9GHz wireless broadband network to streamline emergency communications between first responders and citizens, Abingdon, Virginia continues to reinforce its reputation as a progressive municipality that's on-track with fast-moving trends in mobile computing and other networked applications. The broadband public safety network, provided by Federal Signal, employs a series of towers that rings the town delivering wireless access to virtually every corner of Abingdon. In addition to enhancing first responder emergency communications, the network also extends free and open 2.4 GHz WiFi access to all citizens.

Cultivating Competence: Leveraging Training Tools for Measurable Results
There’s a problem in the world of training management. Despite the fact
most businesses recognize training is an essentialaspect of business
performance, it is often undervalued: many organizations view it as
something they should do – in otherwords, to ‘check a box’ or to fulfill
a regulatory, standard-related, or corporate requirement. Few
organizations approach training as something that will fundamentally
improve overall business performance, cultivatetalent from within, and
ensure not only that employees have completed the courses required for
their job, but are actuallycompetent in their job functions and best
positioned to improve the overall performance of the organization.

Ky. National Guard Continues Its Unbridled Service with a Powerfoil X Upgrade
Members of the Kentucky National Guard in Frankfort, Ky., had no complaints about the Big Ass Fan® installed in its 20,000 sq. ft. helicopter maintenance hangar, but when the opportunity arose for an upgrade, guard members jumped at the chance. With the hangar doors opening and closing for helicopters all day, consistent temperatures were hard to find in the non-air-conditioned and poorly insulated space.

Work Access Lift AppLication Guide
Safety is the prime purpose of all work access lifts. They are designed to move production
personnel, their tools and materials to ergonomically sound work positions to enhance both
worker safety and efficiency. Production tasks are broadly varied and may include welding,
painting, assembly, fabrication, inspection and maintenance. Because each application is unique
to the task being performed and the object being worked on, each lift must be custom designed
to the specific application. This guide is designed to help you organize and prioritize your
requirements so they may be resolved into appropriate specifications for your work access lift.

Pressure Effects on Seal Performance
Standard shaft seals or rotary shaft seals are typically found in a low speed or low pressure environment. As the speed of the shaft increases, the maximum allowable pressure decreases and as pressure increases or speed increases, the design of the seal needs to change to ensure the life of the seal. This article will discuss the effects of pressure on seal performance.

Bridging the Intrinsically-Safe Fieldbus Disconnect
At first glance, the concept of Intrinsically-Safe (I.S.) fieldbus is a study in opposing concepts. After all, fieldbus is about powering multiple devices, while the idea of I.S. is to limit energy flowing into hazardous areas. The fact that multiple devices can be powered from the same wire pair only adds to the design challenges that engineers face when developing their own systems. Typically, this can lead to complex installation schemes as users mix wiring methods such as Division 1 and Division 2 (Zones 0, 1 and 2) in order to accomplish their task.

How to Select Industrial Floor-care Equipment for Increased Productivity and Performance
A clean working environment helps promote worker safety, productivity and product quality. That’s why the floor-cleaning equipment you select for your plant is nearly as important as the manufacturing equipment youselect. In addition, the cleanliness of your plant, warehouse or machine shop conveys a quality image that carries over into higher employee morale and positive reactions from visiting customers and vendors. In short, keeping the workplace clean adds real value to virtually any enterprise.

High Temperature Resistant Adhesives Beat the Heat
Too hot, too cold or just right? it’s not just a question for Goldilocks. Engineers have to be even better judges of temperature when they select a materials system for the job at hand. And those jobs increasingly involve temperature conditions that are best described as “extreme.”

What is the best monochrome (non-color) LCD Screen display for my application?
This article will address monochrome displays, i.e. those with a single color. Monochrome displays are limited to one color for the characters and a different color background. They are unlike color displays—such as TFT(Thin Film Transistor), OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Display) and Field Sequential Color Displays (FSC LCD)—in that both the characters and the background of a color display can change color; monochrome displays cannot change color.
