ViewTech Borescopes 2nd Quarter Sales Begin with New VJ-3 Video Borescope Clients

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- With some industries being allowed to return to near-normal operations, ViewTech Borescopes started their second quarter of sales with the VJ-3 video borescope being utilized for a variety of remote visual inspections throughout North America. ViewTech highlights the addition of two of their newest clients who added a ViewTech borescope to their inspection tool kit: IMCA Jamaica Limited and St. Louis Testing Laboratories.

IMCA Jamaica Limited, a distributor of Caterpillar and John Deere equipment, required a borescope for combustion area inspections inside reciprocating gas engines. ViewTech Borescopes advised their VJ-3 6.0-millimeter x 1.5 meter would be able to fill their heavy equipment inspection needs. With their new ViewTech video borescope arriving onsite quickly, IMCA's Service Manager, Ricky Brooks, stated the VJ-3 video borescope "works extremely well" and they had already put it to use on 6 engines.

When St. Louis Testing Laboratories competitive brand of video borescope required an expensive repair, they sought a new borescope for weld inspections. As an independent commercial testing laboratory, St. Louis Testing Laboratories specializes in a variety of nondestructive testing (NDT), including chemical, environmental, mechanical, coating and electronics. Their NDT Department Coordinator, Daren Larose, made the decision to switch to a ViewTech VJ-3 Dual Camera video borescope. ViewTech's newest video borescope, the Dual Camera, was suggested as a solution to improve their current inspection process. With not only a forward-facing camera, but also a 90-degree side view camera, inspection times are reduced with the VJ-3 Dual Camera.

In addition to beginning their second quarter of borescope sales, ViewTech Borescopes now offers many VJ-3 video borescope tips and helpful hints in the form of short videos online. Topics range from ViewTech borescope models for sale to cleaning your video borescope to accessories included with your VJ-3 video borescope purchase. Videos can be viewed on ViewTech Borescopes website or on their YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/Borescopes.

VJ-3 Video Borescope

The VJ-3 mechanical articulating video borescope is a nondestructive testing instrument used for the remote visual inspection of machinery, equipment, and components. The VJ-3 facilitates the visual recording and photo documentation of an inspection and components in areas that are otherwise inaccessible or require great effort and expense to access directly. The VJ-3 consists of two modules integrated into one system: an insertion tube with distally mounted camera/LEDs, and the base unit with control panel, LCD monitor, power source and all necessary circuitry.

About ViewTech Borescopes

ViewTech Borescopes, founded as RF System Lab in 2008, is North America's #1 seller of video borescopes. Their first product, the VJ borescope, set a new standard for portability, ergonomics and ease-of-use, with its industry-first mechanical, joystick-controlled articulation.

Historic Ironworks Factory Creates Products that Protect in Face of Pandemic

COLUMBUS, Ohio /ScoopCloud/ -- A third-generation, family-owned and operated ornamental iron and metal fabrication company, Fortin Ironworks, is stepping up to create new products driven by a surge in consumer safety. These American-made products are destined to be an integral part of the "new normal."

Manufacturing products designed to keep people safe is not a new concept for Fortin Ironworks. In fact, it's been doing it for nearly 75 years with specialized items such as decorative handrails, fencing and gates. But now with the recent COVID-19 pandemic, like so many other businesses, it's getting requests for new ways of doing things.

"Our historic old company has been asked to produce more consumer safety products," Robert Fortin, product developer, says. "Specifically, 'new norm' products that will soon be popping up everywhere."

Fortin Ironworks has now added foot pulls, touchless keys and mask brackets to its product lineup. The company is equipped with high-tech laser machines which can create beautifully engraved, custom pieces that not only look good, but can help businesses with branding and create that personal touch (or touchless) experience for individuals who enjoy artisan creations too.

These new foot pulls and touchless keys are designed to limit the number of items that people have to touch on a daily basis. Foot pulls are easy to install, touchless keys are easy to use and eye-catching face mask brackets ensure that people are not just another face in the crowd.

"We can engrave just about anything on these foot pulls, touchless keys and mask brackets from logos and names to school mascot images and many organizations are asking for that," Fortin says.

Foot pulls are ideal for hospitals, schools, restaurants and factories - basically anywhere there are high numbers of people.

"It's a new world out there and we plan to be part of it for years to come," Fortin says. "We want our consumers to move into the future with confidence and are committed to our mission to protect."

Unlikely North Carolina Companies Partner Together to Produce Reusable Masks

RALEIGH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- EHOP Health(R), a chronic disease reversal company headquartered in Apex, NC and Harriss & Covington, a hosiery mill headquartered in High Point, NC, recently delivered reusable face masks to customers across North Carolina and the United States. The first business to receive the reusable masks was Weaver Street Market.

This unlikely partnership between health coaching, manufacturing, and grocery store firms produced the new face mask brand, Easy Masks(TM).

These non-medical face masks serve the needs of employees, customers, families, and individuals who need protection for their essential trips.

"I became convinced that fabric masks are a useful tool in minimizing exposure dose to viral particles," said William (B.J.) Lawson, MD and CEO of EHOP Health. "Our first client, and a fifth-generation family business that has been knitting socks in High Point, North Carolina for 100 years, instantly came to my mind as having the potential to create a comfortable, reusable facemask."

Harriss & Covington's Co-President, Tyler Covington had just been ordered to shut down his manufacturing plant's non-essential activities due to the COVID-19 health pandemic. After speaking with Lawson, he recruited a small research and development team to prototype several face masks. "I wanted to help our state, and our country, safely get back to work," said Covington. "I believed we could find a solution for the growing demand of reusable face masks and through collaboration we have a face mask for the everyday essential needs."

Thanks to iterative feedback from associates of Weaver Street Market, another EHOP Health Client, the team quickly found out what features were required for a mask comfortable enough for all-day wear. "This has been a godsend," stated Ruffin Slater General Manager, Weaver Street Market. "We needed a protective mask to offer to our frontline employees and customers, and we wanted a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution which Easy Masks delivers."

GreenShield finish can be a barrier to virus spread

ROCHESTER, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- The GreenShield Company, a division of BigSky Technologies LLC, is responding to the global Coronavirus pandemic with concern and hope for those being impacted by the disease. GreenShield is taking this opportunity to evaluate its products effectiveness in reducing the ability of the Coronavirus to contaminate and transmit on different surfaces.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is worn to protect the wearer's body from infection and to minimize exposure to airborne particulate such as the Coronavirus. Protective lab coats, pre-caution gowns, surgical gowns & covers, and other protective clothing need to be breathable, comfortable and reusable. Many of these protective materials are woven polyester/cotton blend fabrics that utilize finishes for additional performance features such as liquid resistance and durability.

The small amount of fluorochemical used in the GreenShield finish provides a surface that repels oil-based materials, such as viruses, like COVID-19, which has an oily lipid outer layer. The lipid layer is essentially a fatty envelope that holds the virus. This envelope is what appears to be the Achille's heel of the virus, as breaking this layer causes the whole virus to fall apart. When coming into contact with materials treated with GreenShield, these viruses do not adhere to the surface but rather roll off of the surface structure.

"The little bit of fluorochemical-based GreenShield C6XL goes a long way towards clean, safe surfaces on personal protective materials," said Dr. Cathy Fleischer, Managing Partner and co-founder of BigSky Technologies.

"In the crisis that we are dealing with, GreenShield treated fabrics are easy to clean, reduce their impact on the environment, and increase health and safety," said Fleischer.

GreenShield is a nano-particle finish that has 5-10 times lower fluorochemical compared to competitive products that use higher levels of fluorine to meet industry standards.

GreenShield can be used on many materials, including polyester, cotton, nylon, and solution dyed fibers (for cleaning with diluted bleach). The patented GreenShield finish is chemically bound to the fibers of the fabric and remain colorfast and durable for the life of the fabric. Fabrics finished with Greenshield have exceptional water repellency, maintain their durability, breathability, original hand and are recyclable.

BigSky Technologies LLC is a materials science company that manufacturers textile finishes inspired by nature. The company develops cost-effective solutions for the coatings, fabrics, and composite industries using sustainable manufacturing processes while reducing or eliminating the use of harmful chemicals.

New Global Coalition Responds with 1 Million+ Face Shields and Counting

HEBRON, Ky. /ScoopCloud/ -- FiberShield.org, a new international coalition of paper and packaging companies, founded by Ed Zumbiel of Zumbiel Packaging, Hebron, Kentucky and Andreas Keller, of Pawi, Switzerland, in response to the PPE shortage, has, in less than a month manufactured more than 1 million face shields to help protect those on the frontlines fighting COVID-19.

Ed Zumbiel reports that the majority of those shields have been donated to medical professionals and first responders. Production continues and will until there is no longer a need. The FiberShield organization has grown quickly and now counts more than 50 paper and packaging member companies worldwide.

This all began when Ed Zumbiel heard about 3D printed shields being produced to help medical professionals in New York City - but production was limited to only 5,000 units daily. Ed Zumbiel knew Zumbiel Packaging could produce an effective, single-use shield in much greater quantities - literally thousands more per hour.

To encourage widespread participation Zumbiel and Pawi have donated the patent-pending technical specifications, royalty-free for the face shields through 2020, to any packaging company willing to donate the first 100,000 units. Ed Zumbiel reports several coalition members have already far exceeded the minimum donation requirement.

For more information about the coalition or how to order face shields visit https://www.fibershield.org/ or contact Ed Zumbiel at ezumbiel@zumbiel.com

Talon International, a global Trims and Zipper manufacturer, is leveraging its supply chain, delivering millions of pieces of PPE to global market

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Talon International, has retooled its manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and around the world to supply Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for medical and non-medical. Talon is supplying 3-ply face masks and medical-grade face shields, as well as cloth masks, gloves, alcohol wipes, hand sanitizer, and isolation gowns. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of PPE will be donated to the Feeding America organization.

"For over 125 years, Talon has supplied the fashion industry with trims, zippers and other related products," said Larry Dyne, CEO of Talon. "Today, the world has very different needs. I'm proud of the team at Talon for taking on the challenge of redirecting all their efforts to supplying our country and local communities with safety equipment that will save lives. This team is passionate about being able to help the whole world in this effort. Our entire supply chain is mobilized and ready to meet this global challenge. Our 125 yrs. of expertise in managing supply chains and global logistics will aid this effort."

Manufactured in Los Angeles, the Talon face shields help the N95 masks last longer by protecting them from particulate matter. Manufacturing of these shields will ramp up very quickly to keep up with the demand required. We have the ability to "scale up" on short notice. Talon's "stretch technologies" facility was retooled in just a few days to begin making these face shields. Talon is also manufacturing and importing hand sanitizer, alcohol wipes, gloves, and medical gowns for use by medical and non-medical personnel.

While production is expected to be significant and consistent, businesses and nonprofits in need are encouraged to contact the company immediately to make sure their needs are filled quickly.

Customers can begin placing orders by e-mailing Covid@TalonInternational.com with a request for what they need.

"My optometry business hasn't stopped," said Dr. Matthew Aplert, based in Los Angeles, California. "People still need eyewear and eye care, particularly our front-line heroes, such as doctors and nurses. Talon was able to deliver masks to me when no one else could. I have enough to keep my staff and my patients protected. Talon made it possible for me to continue to serve my patients safely."

Talon invented the world's first zipper in 1893 changing fashion forever. With a pedigree like this, it may seem like they would rest on their laurels. Instead, they're committed to moving fashion forward with custom zippers, trim, tags, and a wide variety of printed marketing solutions. Talon continues their legacy of innovation in apparel technology with stretch technology, as well as the Plastic and Spiral Airtight Zippers.

Startup Atmos Home Shifts Gears with Invention to Help Solve Ventilator Shortage

BROOKSVILLE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Tampa Bay startup developing smart home control systems, Atmos Home, has now shifted gears to produce a new type of ventilator to address the nationwide ventilator shortage due to the COVID-19 crisis.

Atmos Home is leading an effort involving scientists and healthcare experts to produce a ventilator to help meet the continuing surge of respiratory cases as a result of the coronavirus. This new type of ventilator is built around automated compression of a bag valve mask.

Normally a smart home equipment developer, Atmos Home has the credential of developing the world's first smart home hub that combines all major home automation control protocols combined with touch, voice, gesture, and app controls.

The company's founder, Mark Lyle, has previously developed solutions for NASA and other wireless infrastructure providers. With its primary business sidelined because of the coronavirus pandemic, Atmos Home has utilized its skills and components to deliver a game-changer for medical professionals treating patients with COVID-19.

The innovative endeavor from Atmos Home involved re-tooling to create an automated version of a bag valve mask. These bulbous face masks are used as breathing apparatuses, normally squeezed manually by caregivers in order to help patients keep breathing. Atmos Home's concept was to eliminate manual operation and design a machine to actuate the air bag automatically, pushing air into a patient's lungs.

"I think we are injecting some reliability into the mix," Lyle said. "Plus, the complexity to be able to adjust those critical factors like breaths per minute, inhalation exhalation ratio... and so forth that some of the other projects might not be addressing."

Atmos Home is collaborating on the project with scientists, engineers, and doctors from around the globe and plans to open source the designs for its solution. It has been observed that many early stage patients that only require minimal amount of breathing assistance are currently occupying ventilators. According to the project team, their new innovation can be used by these patients.

"Now you have freed up a nurse or an EMT, and potentially freed up a ventilation machine, so absolutely the goal is to avoid the situation that we're in today," Lyle said.

Having already created the prototype, Atmos Home informs that the cost to manufacture its new ventilation device will be less than a tenth of the price of a full-blown ventilator and it can be manufactured from readily available components. The company is now looking to quickly obtain FDA approval for its device.

"If all of us working on this project can save some lives in the process," Lyle added, "that's the ultimate goal."

TrueHero Extreme Coverage Face Shields, Made in the USA, are Available for the Medical Community and Other Front Liners

BROCTON, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- TrueHero(TM) Face Shields are the result of good old American ingenuity and the entrepreneurial spirit that drives our country. Recognizing that the need for such shields was only going to grow with the spread of COVID-19, plastics manufacturer, Jay Baker, of Jamestown Plastics, rallied his troops and, in a matter of days, designed and began manufacturing TrueHero(TM) Face Shields at his facility in Brocton, New York.

Today, TrueHero(TM) Face Shields are being used in New York City at the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic and in a quickly growing number of states and even countries around the globe.

But, as demand continues to escalate, Baker continues to increase available supply. The fact is that politics and red tape are strangling the ability of those on the front lines to get the PPE they need.

If you know someone on the front lines that does not have access to adequate PPE protection, please direct them to the TrueHero website: https://trueheroshield.com/.

About the product:

TrueHero(TM) Face Shields are made of Clearon, a medical grade, optically clear PETG. Extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear, TrueHero Face Shields were designed in conjunction with medical professionals for extreme protection and all-day use. A flanged perimeter maximizes protection from the periphery. Multi-port exhaust channels release heat and moisture, yet preclude the entry of germs.

The shields offer full range visibility and employ hook-and-loop straps for infinite adjustability and a secure, set-it-and-forget-it fit. A peel-and-stick foam forehead liner enhances comfort. And, for a customized fit, the shield can be trimmed with scissors.

TrueHero(TM) Extreme Coverage Face Shields, extraordinary protection for extraordinary people. Thank you for all you do!

The demand for these items is mind boggling. The Business Insider recently reported that US Medical Workers would need 3.5 Billion face masks to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. As of March, we only had about 1% of that number.

Additionally, medical workers have been posting on social media about the horrific conditions they are facing, and how some are quitting their jobs because of the lack of personal protection equipment (PPE). "America is not prepared, and nurses are not being protected," says one anonymous nurse whose video recently went viral.

In an article posted in healthline.com, they report that Connecticut has at least 200 nurses who have been sidelined from their duties and put in isolation due to lack of testing. In Washington State, dozens of staffers at a nursing home tested positive for the coronavirus. In Pittsfield, Massachusetts, 160 employees of Berkshire Medical Center have been quarantined due to exposure to the virus.

"The problem is that there is just too much red tape for these large organizations like hospitals and government agencies to move quickly," says GEI's CEO Kyle O'Connor. "What we need is the public's help to spread the word and let the hospitals and medical workers on the front line know we have this life-saving equipment ready for procurement now."

In an effort to streamline these bureaucracies and coordinate the distribution of these PPEs, GEI has set up a website, https://fastmedequipment.com/.

This makes it easy for medical workers, hospitals and other organizations to place orders now, and get PPEs fast. For organizations wanting to procure larger orders or respirator masks, please contact GEI directly.

To contact GEI, or learn more about how they are fighting COVID-19 and how you can help, contact Bob Dietrich at bob@fastmedequipment.com, or call at 619-518-1907.

Inked Gaming Donates 15,000 Masks to Hospitals, First Responders

CORVALLIS, Ore. /ScoopCloud/ -- When healthcare workers around Oregon started asking for hand-sewn mask donations, Oregon-based gaming supplies company, Inked Gaming, answered the call. It quickly set its sewing team into action to create more than 15,000 face masks that will be donated to hospitals and first responders suffering from the state's personal protective equipment (PPE) shortage.

"I had two seamstresses who didn't have much work to do, so I thought we could help out and use our time and resources to give back," Thomas Pool, CEO, Inked Gaming, says. "We're donating these face masks to local hospitals, veterinary clinics, nursing homes, fire stations, delivery drivers and more."

While hand-sewn cloth masks do not offer the same protection as N95 and surgical masks, the CDC website on the Coronavirus states, "In settings where facemasks are not available, HCP might use homemade masks (e.g., bandana, scarf) for care of patients with COVID-19 as a last resort." (REF: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/ppe-strategy/face-masks.html ).

As a small, locally-owned company, Inked Gaming needed help funding the supplies, so for every face mask or face shield purchased on the company's website, Inked Gaming pledged to donate 19 additional masks.

"I never anticipated the amount of support we'd receive," Pool says.

Inked Gaming received enough orders to create more than their initial end goal of 10,000 face masks for donation in less than four days.

"We figured we would sell enough to keep our employees busy for the next couple months. We didn't expect to sell 500 through the weekend," Pool says. "We were amazed by the response and by how so many people were willing and wanting to help."

After so many were sold, the company was now faced with a decision of whether to shut down the operation or to lower the number.

"At 10,000 donated masks, we knew that if we kept up at the same pace, we would be putting ourselves in a position where we couldn't fulfill our promises," Pool explains. "After talking with the team, we decided that lowering the donation level, but staying with the cause would be best."

To account for this, Inked Gaming changed their pledge to donating an additional four masks for every one mask sold.

On Friday, April 3, President Donald Trump announced the recommendation that Americans should wear non-medical cloth face masks when in public. With these new guidelines, Inked Gaming reports seeing another significant increase in orders. Its team of two seamstresses is working hard to keep up with the number of masks to be sewn, while following all CDC and Oregon safety guidelines regarding COVID-19.

"We've had several local requests to help sew the donation masks too. Right now, that's the most helpful," Pool says. "We're wanting to get them out as soon as we can and the community's support has been so uplifting."

The company has also located a surgical mask supplier which will allow them to supplement some of its donations with higher quality masks, and reduce some of the strain on the small sewing team.

Inked Gaming plans to continue donating masks as long as they are able and there's a need. Face masks can be purchased at: https://www.inkedgaming.com/collections/face-masks-and-face-shields.

South Central Iowa Community Steps Up to Support Senior Care Center

OSCEOLA, Iowa /ScoopCloud/ -- Since the WHO announced the Coronavirus / COVID-19 pandemic status in early March, long-term care facilities have been on the front lines of the health and safety battle, notes the Clarke County Development Corporation (CCDC). With senior citizens being some of the most "at risk" from the virus, the need for protective gear - from essential N95 hospital-grade face-masks to personal protective equipment (PPE), like gloves and gowns - have been in high demand and access has been limited. That's where the manufacturing community in Clarke County and Osceola, Iowa stepped up.

Earlier in the week, the Clarke County Development Corporation (CCDC) started working with the staff at Southern Hills Specialty Care facility in Osceola to procure additional essential supplies to help with the safety and protection of their 89 senior residents. Asking for donations or additional support from the manufacturing industry, Bill Trickey, Executive Director of the CCDC and Destiny Boeve, Administrator for Southern Hills were able to collect a generous supply of masks as well as some other essential items.

Altec's Osceola body plant was instrumental in donations, providing 3,000 latex gloves for the facility. And SIMCO Drilling Equipment, Inc, donated a surplus of high-grade masks and gloves as soon as the call was made.

"Having been part of the Osceola and Clarke County community for decades, we simply wanted to help wherever we could," said Darren Swolley, General Manager at SIMCO. "These are the times when community means more than ever."

Other local businesses, including Cathy's Auto Body and Cactus Farms, were also quick to join in the roundup of supplies. The team at Boyt Harness donated thousands of masks from their Missouri plant to hospitals and facilities in need there.

"This is what makes my job such a pleasure," said Trickey. "When the community is in need, our business network knows how to deliver."

Southern Hills staff members, residents, family members and friends alike have joined together to help with the cause, sewing from mask templates for residents and staffers to use while other donation efforts are in the works. Boeve's own grandmother, Kathy Klein sewed 100 masks for the staff and is working on washable gowns for the program. Southern Hills staffer and CNA, Amy Allen brought her seamstress talents back in her off hours just to help with the production as well.

With the influx of masks and gloves, the need for other safety materials has become a priority. Materials for sewing additional masks as well as gowns and other PPEs are still needed to help the staff properly care for the residents.

"We couldn't be more blessed," said Boeve. "Our community really knows how to come together in a time of crisis."

Boeve went on to stress the need for basic sewing materials like needles and thread for additional masks for mending gowns. And the donation of more N95 masks, gowns, or PPEs remains on the priority list for the foreseeable future.

If you have access to the items needed for the care of the residents at Southern Hills or have items you can donate, please reach out to Destiny Boeve at Southern Hills Care Center, 444 N W View Drive, Osceola, IA 50213, phone: 641-342-6061.

The Future of Industrial and Civilian Protection Wear is Here

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Gattopardo USA Corp. is the company behind a new product launch for the first and only Parabellum Kevlar-wear designed for everyday concealed carry. Unlike nothing else on the market, this state-of-the-art protection and defense wear incorporates features that are not only high-tech, but stylish too.

An acclaimed team of veterans from the fields of fashion and defense have come together to develop and design the next generation of futuristic, fashionable and functional ready-to-wear for defense and non-defense professionals. And, in an effort to introduce the product to the mass market, it's launched a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo.

"We're living in turbulent times and our Kevlar-wear delivers protection, performance and readiness for all walks of life," Diego Pipoli, CEO, Gattopardo. "We've tested our products with special forces in Europe and they were given an overwhelming seal of approval."

From laborers, medical personnel, EMTs and preppers to hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, police officers and more, these Kevlar jackets can be worn anywhere, anytime. They'll go from night to day; from the desert to the tundra; to the city and the country and all points in between.

Made in the U.S., this tactical wear combines Italian design with Japanese innovation. For men and women, high-tech features include a removable RFID pocket for keeping items such as credit cards, communication devices, GPS-locators and ID safe and secure. It's guaranteed that people cannot be geolocated, have their conversations captured or have their ID compromised in anyway. There's even a built-in heating system in select models.

Kevlar jackets are available in three different styles as well as a vest version. Options go from basic to super loaded. The jackets' interior is designed to evenly spread out the weight of firearms and tools around the upper body, so that people can move quickly while their firearms and tools stay firmly in place.

Gattopardo products are quite simply the new definition of protection and defense wear for professionals and non-professionals alike.

"There's just nothing else like this out there," Pipoli says. "We're confident that our products will exceed market expectations. And, there's more to come."

About Gattopardo

With more than 40 years of combined army and fashion industry (e.g., Giorgio Armani, Valentino, Ferragamo and Dolce & Gabbana) expertise, the professionals at Gattopardo understand what it takes to design products that defend while combining fit, quality, craftsmanship, comfort and style. In addition, top company executives have spent time in two elite units in the Italian Army and worked with Fabbrica d'armi Pietro Beretta. Their experience and backgrounds are unmatched in the industry.

"We're your best defense," Pipoli says.

DAPA Products Shares Reasons to Upgrade Product Quality

JASPER, Ala. /ScoopCloud/ -- DAPA Products, a window and door components manufacturer, shares reasons to upgrade supplies with virgin raw materials. DAPA realized early in their manufacturing establishment that many suppliers received less than quality products. DAPA wanted to change the industry. They provide quality supplies and stand behind each of their products, 100%. Suppliers around the globe depend on DAPA for high-quality supplies of extruded plastic products, window and door components, as well as upholstery products.

DAPA considers the following elements that make great products:

1. Streamlining the Process

When it comes to upholstery and fenestration products, streamlining involves three aspects. These are the system, the materials, and the process.

2. The System Is Key

The system of providing customers with excellent products does not include price consideration, according to DAPA. Their only concern is making the highest quality fenestration products. Through steady growth, DAPA began mixing materials and producing the DAPA Foam Spline. Foam spline was an innovation in the industry that significantly improved outcomes for screen industry workers.

3. The Right Materials

DAPA made it a mission from the beginning to use and produce only the highest quality of products. By using only the best virgin raw materials, DAPA can manufacture and provide this quality material in upholstery products. DAPA are specialists in the unique contours, complexity in design, and the highest precision requirements.

4. The Process Makes It Best

Due to the Foam Spline focus, DAPA increased its number of extrusion lines and production time to 24 hours a day. Along with the significant products of Foam Welt Cord and Foam Spline, DAPA provides multiple other products for this market and many others.

All companies can provide designs to order, but very few can give the order on time and with materials that last, as DAPA has always done.

5. Commitment

DAPA provides customers with the highest quality, on-time orders. This means competition, however, DAPA will not risk quality in order to give a cheaper cost. The quality that is provided to the customer will always remain the highest standards.

DAPA continues its growth with new products such as braided welt cord. As wholesale upholstery product suppliers, DAPA continues to advance in window screen products, as well as the window screen components our customers demand. The focus of DAPA is always customer first and only the highest quality product.

The DAPA Products team has a complete commitment to providing customers with the best service and highest quality products on the market! Customers love our commitment to bringing them the lowest possible prices as well. Contact a member of the team today at 1-800-229-3181 or visit https://www.dapaproducts.com to find out about getting the perfect spline to fit your needs.

About DAPA Products:

DAPA Products is known, not just for the Foam Welt Cord, but the highly demanded Foam Screen Spline, along with many more goods in the window, door, and upholstered furniture industries and braided products for the upholstery furniture industry. DAPA runs several extrusion lines 24 hours a day, 5 days per week. Foam Screen Spline has helped to reduce the stress of screening and now is the favored choice for many major manufacturers. Thanks to the support of our many friends and customers, a small beginning has proved to be highly successful.

Pre-med Son and Father Tackle COVID-19 Testing Center Challenges

LAGUNA HILLS, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- In response to the COVID-19 pandemic affecting every corner of the world, a 24-year-old pre-medical student teamed up with his father to design and manufacture the Mobile Pathogen Testing Unit (MPTU) to be used to combat this viral outbreak. Chase Berman, a current Infectious Diseases researcher at University of California Irvine, and his father, Christopher Berman, have brought forth a mobile unit converted from a 20-foot shipping container, capable of mass viral testing in a highly efficient manner.

"An overarching challenge the world is facing is the lack of access to COVID-19 testing centers," says Chase. "There is an underlying subset of challenges within this scope, which the MPTU addresses: accessibility of tests to citizens in an organized fashion, ample workspace for healthcare workers to easily maneuver high quantity sampling, and staff protection from the environment and weather. The MPTU has a simplistic, ready to deploy design that is capable of tackling the COVID-19 testing challenges of today."

After researching pathogen transmission in Southern California skilled nursing facilities, Chase Berman has emphasized design on reducing the contamination inside testing centers, thus limiting the spread of novel coronavirus between healthcare workers and those being tested.

These designs include surfaces that are easy to be cleaned and disinfected. The MPTU contains three easily accessed hand-wash stations. The interior of the MPTU is climate controlled, containing lavatory facilities to eliminate staff trips in and out of the unit.

"We recognize that the means of transport to testing centers will be by motor vehicle or by foot, and the MPTU addresses both of these," adds Chase. "Healthcare workers can obtain swab samples through 2 access points: a walk-up window for swabbing citizens on foot, and an area set up for drive-thru car passengers. Both strategies allow for rapid testing turnover of a wide population, regardless of transportation means. In addition, a 40-foot unit variant has been designed, which has the ability to manage 2 drive-thru lanes simultaneously."

The ultimate goal of human beings is the preservation of life and health to all of those around us. The MPTU carries the same sentiment in a dual-sided approach: to test as many symptomatic patients as quickly as possible, while attempting to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 beyond its current extension.

Boothwyn Pharmacy in Kennett Square Now Manufacturing Hand Sanitizer

KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Boothwyn Pharmacy, a PCAB-accredited compounding pharmacy located mere minutes from the heart of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, has dedicated resources to manufacture hand sanitizer.

In response to the rising number of COVID-19 cases, the medical supply shortages created by it, and the increase in reports of homemade hand sanitizers, the FDA has given approval to accredited compounding pharmacies to commence the production of hand sanitizers.

On March 14, 2020, the FDA released new guidance for industry policy regarding the "Temporary Compounding of Certain Alcohol-Based Hand Sanitizers During the Public Health Emergency" to address the need for safe and properly prepared hand sanitizing products that have become commercially unavailable.

Committed to the health and wellbeing of the community, Boothwyn Pharmacy produced its first batch of hand sanitizer on Monday, March 23. This product was compounded in accordance with guidelines set by the FDA and recommendations from the World Health Organization. It contains 75% Isopropyl Alcohol and was made in a state-of-the-art PCAB and NABP-accredited laboratory.

Louis Micolucci, the CEO of Boothwyn Pharmacy, donated the first batch to the Kennett Square and East Marlborough Township police departments and the Longwood Fire Company to ensure the safety of local first responders.

Their hand sanitizer is now available online at https://www.bpimedicalsupply.com/CTGY/COVID19-SUPPLIES.html and can be shipped right to your door.

It is also available at both of their locations: Boothwyn Apothecary in Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, and Boothwyn Pharmacy in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Curbside service is available and they will bring hand sanitizer right to your car. Please call ahead to ensure hand sanitizer will be ready for you upon arrival.

About Boothwyn Pharmacy:

Helping the community is not simply an utterance of words for the Boothwyn Pharmacy family, but rather a philosophy that has been engrained in each and every member since their doors first opened in 1933.

ViewTech Borescopes Launches New Dual Camera Video Borescope

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- With the use of side-view cameras being a necessity for certain remote visual inspections (RVI), ViewTech Borescopes is announcing the launch of their newest inspection video borescope, the VJ-3 Dual Camera. The VJ-3 Dual Camera facilitates viewing both straight ahead and 90 degrees. Users are easily able to switch between the two cameras while keeping the insertion tube inside the inspection area.

With a diameter of 6.0 mm and lengths ranging from 1.5 - 8.0 meters, and featuring image and video capturing capabilities, industries including Heavy Equipment Maintenance, Welding, Oil & Gas, along with countless others, can benefit from the convenience the VJ-3 dual camera video borescope provides. In addition to the VJ-3 Dual Camera, ViewTech Borescopes also recently released two other borescope models, the VJ-3 Ultraviolet (UV) and the VJ-3 Infrared (IR).

ViewTech Borescopes VJ-3 Dual Camera video borescope is already utilized by several of their clients. Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) knew this unit could improve their tank and pipe inspections. With CNL's current video borescope not providing adequate lighting during their RVI, ViewTech recommended the VJ-3 dual camera. After trying an on-site, no-cost demo, Canadian Nuclear finalized the purchase of multiple 6.0mm VJ-3 Dual Camera video borescope units.

With insertion tube lengths of 3.0, 5.0 and 8.0 meters, the VJ-3 dual cameras help to support ACI's safety and compliance requirements. While improving the quality of their nuclear facility inspection photos, the VJ-3 dual camera also decreased inspection times.

Video Borescope January 2020 Clients Announced by ViewTech Borescopes

TRAVERSE City, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- With a strong emphasis being placed on remote visual inspections (RVI) and nondestructive testing (NDT) throughout many industries, ViewTech Borescopes has started the year with a record number of sales and looks to continue the trend with another year-over-year sales increase. ViewTech highlights the addition of two of their newest clients that kicked off 2020 by adding a VJ-3 video borescope to their inspection tool kit: Central Copters of Belgrade, Montana and MATCOR Metal Fabrication of Morton, Illinois.

ViewTech Borescopes supports the industries they serve by exhibiting at more than 20 trade shows annually. While attending HAI HELI-Expo 2020 in Anaheim, California, Central Copters owner, Mark Duffy, was able to see first-hand how the VJ-3 would perform better than their current borescope and upgraded by taking a new ViewTech borescope back to Montana. Central Copters operates out of Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport with a Kaman K-1200, Robinson R66, Euro Copter AS350B and Bell 214B1. Their fleet is available for real estate surveys, firefighting, charter and aerial tours. Central Copters has been the recipient of the Helicopter Association International Operator Safety Award for multiple years. They will continue to have exceptional safety and dependability with their fleet as they rely on the VJ-3 3.9mm x 1.5m mechanical articulating video borescope for turbine engine inspections.

With locations throughout Canada and the United States, MATCOR Metal Fabrication of Morton, Illinois had been utilizing a "smart phone" scope which wasn't providing the performance they desired. ViewTech sent MATCOR's Quality Manager a 6.0mm x 1.5m mechanical articulating video borescope to demo while completing corrosion and FOD inspections inside tanks ranging from 5 to 1,500 gallons. After completing several inspections, the improvement in the quality of their inspections became obvious and MATCOR made the decision to upgrade to a ViewTech VJ-3. Since bringing the VJ-3 mechanical articulating video borescope on site, MATCOR has utilized it with several other inspections throughout their facility.

Getec Industrial Offers Expanded Thermal Management Solutions for 2020

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Getec Industrial had a great year in 2019. Getec's Thermal Management Solutions Division has seen a 72% increase in sales and growth in 2019. "Getec has added many new customers with our innovative approach to the electronics thermal solutions market," said Hart Cardozo III, COO of Getec Industrial. "And 2020 is looking even better."

To prepare for 2020, Getec's Thermal Management Solutions Division has hit the ground running by upgrading its computerized workstations with state-of-the-art CAD software, and has added 12 new CNC milling machines to expand production. Getec has also recently added friction stir welding services to the Thermal Management Solutions Division, providing customers with an inexpensive option when it comes to manufacturing large extruded aluminum heat sinks (12, 20 or 30 inches or even wider).

Learn more: https://getecna.com/thermal-management-solutions-division/

Why Manufacturing Large Extruded Aluminum Heat Sinks is a Challenge

There are very few 36-inch extrusion presses in the world, and a limited number of 20- and 30-inch ones as well, which keeps the production cost for manufacturing large heat sinks very high. These larger aluminum extrusion presses require a 10 to 20-metric ton minimum run, and the cost of tooling a large extrusion press can range anywhere from $40K to $90K. This makes the cost of large, one-piece extruded aluminum heat sinks extremely cost prohibitive for most companies.

Why Friction Stir Welding is Better

This process joins two surfaces together using a rotating mechanical tool that fuses the surfaces of two smaller heat sinks together seamlessly. So instead of paying the huge production and tooling overhead costs for a 36-inch extruded aluminum heat sink, Getec Industrial can stir weld three 12-inch heat sinks together to create one seamless 36-inch heat sink with identical performance at a fraction of the cost.

"We welcome the thermal management challenges provided by today's electronics marketplace," said Cardozo. "We believe that combining our workstation updates and additional CNC capacity with our friction stir welding services allows Getec to continue engineering creative thermal solutions for the new year of 2020 and beyond."

For more information about Getec Industrial's new Thermal Solutions Division offerings just fill out our handy contact form on our website, or give us a call at (888) 999-8499.

TatumTek Completes Land Acquisition for Development of Hi-Tech Modular Construction Assembly Plant in Lamesa, TX

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Edwin Tatum, Founder and CEO of Dallas-based TatumTek, a modular construction firm with offices at 2121 N. Peart St. Suite 300 Dallas, TX 75201, announced today that the company has completed the acquisition of a 64.73 acre tract of land located on the north side of Highway 180 just west of the Lamesa city limits in Lamesa, Texas.

The site will serve as the future home for TatumTek's first manufacturing and distribution facility. This facility will use highly advanced fabrication and assembly technologies to build and assemble large modular units for use in residential and commercial construction projects such as single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes, and hotels. The company expects to break ground on the $20-million manufacturing facility in the second quarter of 2020.

"Our new production and distribution facility," explains Tatum, "will incorporate the most advanced modular construction technologies available with hi-tech automation systems to complement approximately 150 highly trained workers. Much like the Lego's we played with as kids, our system will allow us to produce a variety of products such as single-family homes, apartments and hotels inside the factory and 'snap' together once shipped to the site. This can be done 50% faster with equal and sometimes greater strength, without compromising the expectation of the consumer relative to finish-out and amenities. We will soon be able to produce, in Lamesa, a new generation of quality housing for the Permian Basin and the entire state of Texas at costs more aligned with the economic reality of most hard-working Americans."

"By adding a new reserve of quality housing to the Lamesa market," Tatum continues, "employees that currently commute long distances each way to work in Lamesa will be able to move their families into the community in which they work. In fact, we expect our first production orders to come from the Vista Park, LLC development, expected to break ground near our facility in early 2020. Vista Park, LLC will include 60-100 beautiful townhomes and up to 400 rental units."

"It's very important to me," Tatum explains, "that the community understands this is not your grandfather's modular home product, typically thought of as glorified mobile homes or manufactured homes. Housing is the only major industry in the U.S. from which Americans fully accept the product being built outside a factory, eliminating the increased sustainability, strength, and speed benefits other manufacturers derive from having a controlled environment. Can you imagine buying a new Toyota or BMW and the representative says they'll begin building it in your driveway on Friday? Absolutely not! Our team believes hard-working Americans deserve better and this land acquisition is the first major step in that regard."

About TatumTek:
TatumTek is an innovative, Dallas-based modular construction firm headed by Founder and CEO Edwin Tatum, combining traditional modular building techniques with highly advanced automation and design elements. At TatumTek, our guiding principal is simple: people come first. We value our people and those we serve. Our advanced modular construction technology (AMCT) dramatically improves production efficiency while reducing the cost for beautiful, functional, value conscious construction.

TatumTek is leading the construction industry to the next generation of quality housing through optimized efficiency while setting a new standard for builders, developers and home buyers that will ultimately improve quality of life for more people. We create better living.

BOSTON, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- Carpe Diem Technologies, Inc. (Carpe Diem) has signed an exclusive license agreement with the University of Minnesota for the commercialization of breakthrough printed electronics technology. The technology is called SCALE (Self-aligned Capillarity-Assisted Lithography for Electronics), and is particularly suitable for printing on flexible substrates, such as paper and plastic.

As Carpe Diem's CEO John S. Berg explains, "University of Minnesota Professors Daniel Frisbie and Lorraine Francis cleverly harnessed the natural force of capillary action to deliver electronic inks self-aligned into nano imprinted substrates. Immediate applications for this technology include smart labels for consumer products from food to pharmaceuticals, flexible displays, and distributed self-powered sensors."

Until now, these applications were difficult because traditional printing tools (inkjet, screen print, gravure) were inadequate to the task of making the small aligned features required in electronics. "Nano imprint lithography (NIL) solved the problem of the required small dimensions, and, with this invention, simultaneously solves the problem of alignment with the same level of precision."

Using this invention, an initial alignment layer is created with fluid channels which "wicks" the inks to where they are needed. Importantly, this wicking comes from larger reservoirs on the substrate which are easily filled by inkjet (flexo or screen print). The circuit then "virtually" builds itself with dimensions and alignment defined in the first imprint layer.

A complete electronic toolbox of resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors has been demonstrated. Carpe Diem is developing applications - NIL masters, and the requisite R2R NIL equipment - and is making those available to customers and sublicensees.

About Carpe Diem Technologies, Inc.:
Carpe Diem and its clients bring nano-enabled products to market with high-precision, high-volume manufacturing solutions.

ViewTech Borescopes Announces New Clients

TRAVERSE City, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- With a wide variety of industries relying on video borescopes for their remote visual inspections (RVI) and nondestructive testing (NDT) needs, ViewTech Borescopes has announced the addition of several new clients that utilize their VJ-3 Articulating Video Borescope. With a strong emphasis being placed on RVI and NDT throughout Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Aviation, Automotive and Manufacturing industries, ViewTech is trending to double their 2019 video borescope sales year-over-year. Some of ViewTech's newest VJ-3 clients include Minaki Aircraft Repair Services, Woodward Inc, Delta Faucet and Minnesota Jet.

ViewTech Borescopes has many clients throughout the aviation industry, and Larry Lencowski, Director of Maintenance at Minnesota Jet, had previously used a VJ-3 Video Borescope through another business aviation service. When the time came to purchase a new video borescope, Minnesota Jet was comparing ViewTech Borescopes 3.9mm x 1.5m video borescope with another manufacture's scope that was more than double the price. With ViewTech Borescopes 12-month warranty, free loaner and lifetime service program, the peace of mind that the VJ-3 offered compared to the other video borescope made it an easy choice for Minnesota Jet.

Another new aviation client, Minaki Aircraft Repair Services, now utilizes their VJ-3 Video Borescope to drastically reduce major aviation inspection completion times. Having previously used many high-end borescopes, Ken Klein of Minaki stated that "for the money invested, the VJ-3 Video Borescope is the best tool in anyone's shop." Minaki, located 40 minutes north of Kenora, Ontario, owns several Cessna and de Haviland Aircraft and operates an aviation maintenance facility in Canada's Western Ontario province.

Woodward Inc. has been an independent designer, manufacturer and service provider of energy control and optimization solutions for aerospace and industrial markets for more than 150 years. At their Zeeland, Michigan Combustion Test Facility, Seth Rutan, a Manufacturing Engineer, took advantage of ViewTech Borescopes no-cost demo program by having a VJ-3 2.8mm video borescope shipped to their location while a client was at their facility. The size of the 2.8mm x 1.0m VJ-3 was ideal for the inspection of the 3-D printed part, guaranteeing that the piece was clear of dust and debris.

Another of ViewTech's newest VJ-3 Video Borescope clients, Delta Faucet's Jackson, Tennessee production facility, needed a borescope that would articulate inside the bent section of a faucet. By demoing the 6.0mm x 1.5m VJ-3 Video Borescope before purchase, Ron Swaim, a Quality Engineer for Delta, was able to have the video borescope onsite to ensure that ViewTech's VJ-3 could accomplish the task, which it did.

Heavy Duty Gel Knee Pads for Work Can Save Your Knees

LONG BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Braxtly Tools, a leader in heavy duty and industrial grade tools for Professionals and serious DIYers, announces the launch of their new Heavy-Duty Gel Knee Pads to combat knee and joint pain commonly found from prolonged kneeling.

Features that set the Braxtly Tools Heavy Duty Knee Pads apart from other brands is the rigid PVC outer casing shell that encompasses a gel core and a foam padding that molds to your knee.

"Think of it as a helmet for your knees," Braxtly Tools Spokesperson Justin Bowler said. "Most knee injuries are a result of constant prolonged exposure without the correct personal protective equipment (PPE). Our pads will help keep your knees free from pain, prevent injury and minimize joint pain."

Mechanics, floor installers and plumbers know what it's like to spend much of the day on their knees, so it's imperative to have well-made and durable PPEs. And, DIYers who make their own home repairs and enjoy gardening will find Braxtly Tools Heavy Duty Knee Pads a "must have" in the tool kit.

Your knees will be fully guarded against abrasions, cuts, scrapes and scuffs. "Are you worried about this kind of floor debris: nails, sharp pieces of wood, screws, garden spurs, bush thorns, the ill placed upside-down rake, and many other pointy thingies? If so, then we got you covered," Bowler said.

The Heavy-Duty Gel Knee Pads feature EVA foam padding, it is soft without being sponge-like, and the same used by professional sports teams in high-performance equipment and by major sports shoe companies who use it in specialty shoes to dull impact. Long, adjustable polyester mesh straps are stress-tested to withstand constant use and breathe for all-day comfort; the straps fit legs up to 28 inches in circumference.

Fasteners are reinforced so they won't break when you tighten the strap after a week of tile work, for example. And, the knee pads provide shock absorption, helping reduce compression pain often associated with kneeling on tile, brick, hardwood, or cement floors.

The product is reviewed online here: Brief Review - Braxtly Tools Heavy Duty Work Knee Pads - http://elizabeth-house.org/brief-review-braxtly-tools-heavy-duty-work-knee-pads/.

Robert Golan Wins Appeal for a Thermometer Factory Worker Denied Monetary Benefits

PLAINVIEW, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Robert Golan, PC a worker's compensation attorney serving Suffolk and Nassau counties, recently won an appeal at the NY State Workers Compensation Board in the case of a thermometer factory worker who was exposed to mercury and developed mercury poisoning. The Trial Judge ruled that although she was in fact exposed to mercury at work and could no longer work in any environment containing mercury, she was otherwise healthy, and was not entitled to workers compensation monetary benefits.

The Trial Judge based his Decision on a specific case precedent. Mr. Golan successfully argued that the case precedent was different from the client's case, and that the client was, in fact, disabled and entitled to monetary benefits, until she could find alternative employment at the same earning level. The Appellate Court (Case # G1778031) reversed the Decision of the Trial Judge.

The client wrote: "Thank you so much for fighting to get me the benefits I deserve." Robert Golan, PC represents injured workers and gets them the medical treatment and monetary benefits that they're entitled to when their insurance company refuses to pay.
