Chemical Manufacturer Improves Power Quality with S&C's PureWave UPS System
An ethylene manufacturer in Bahia Blanca, Argentina, chose S&C Electric Company's PureWave UPS? System to eliminate production interruptions due to power outages.Natural gas furnaces called "crackers" are used in the process of manufacturing ethylene. Within these crackers are fans and heating elements which control the temperature of the process. Power outages were stopping the fans, causing damage to the heating elements ? just one power outage caused thousands of dollars in lost production time and lost product.The facility required an outdoor installation of a power protection system. S&C's PureWave UPS System was chosen because it's the only whole-facility system that can be installed outdoors. In August 2002, two 500-kW units were installed: one rated 380 V, the other 690 V, 50Hz.
Applied with a back-up generator, the PureWave UPS Systems provide consistent, reliable power to the crackers, with 100% protection from the periodic power outages in the area. This reduced downtime has significantly improved productivity at the plant.PureWave UPS Systems, from S&C's Power Quality Products Division, are available in capacities ranging from 313 to 20,000 kVA and provide 30 seconds of protection at 100% load. PureWave UPS Systems are installed worldwide, delivering reliable protection from utility power source problems for a wide variety of energy-sensitive, power-critical applications.S&C Electric Company is a leader in power quality solutions.
In addition to PureWave UPS Systems, S&C's product line includes the PureWave? Source-Transfer System, PureWave DVR? Dynamic Voltage Restorer, PureWave DSTATCOM? Distribution Static Compensator, and PureWave AVC? Adaptive VAR Compensator.S&C Electric Company, headquartered in Chicago, IL, specializes in the development and manufacture of innovative products and services for the electric power industry. S&C's family of PureWave? Power Quality Systems have been installed at critical-process facilities worldwide to deliver reliable protection from the power quality problems that can disrupt operation.

Dish Network ? Your Best Option?
Is Dish Network the best way for me to get access to my favorite programming? I cannot imagine going back to having four networks. I love my ESPN and Food TV too much to do that, but it is difficult to know if cable is the right choice, or if I should go with a satellite company like Dish Network. There are a lot of factors to consider in the decision.
Of course the most important factor for many of us is the cost. With Dish Network, the cost depends a lot on the plan you choose. It seems that, depending on what you want out of your programming, you can spend anywhere from $32 all the way up to nearly $90 per month.
Of course, there are also the other services that Dish Network will provide for additional fees, if you are so inclined.
If you have a high definition television, you will likely want a high definition receiver and high definition programming to go with your channels. You may also want to look at the DVR that Dish Network offers. This hard drive will...

Digital Video Recorders for Security and Information
Digital video recorders (DVRs) are more than toys in our crime infested world. They are a necessary tool for security. In conjunction with CCTV cameras you can record everything that happens in your business 24 hours a day. The days of wondering what is going on in your
other facility are gone.
Using the internet, your business is under your control, 24/7/365. Using your DVR, now you simply open internet explorer, type in your IP address, input the proper username and password and you are remotely viewing a live video feed from your business.
The benefits of digital video recorders are obvious.
Remote viewing is being used more and more in the security industry as people become busier, traffic becomes heavier and the hours that business remains open is lengthening. You can be on vacation in the Bahamas or Mexico and still look in on your business whenever you want.
DVRs are much more sophisticated now than they were even 2 years...

TiVo Facing Identity Crisis
Dallas, TX (ContentDesk via ContentDesk Direct) July 6, 2005 -- A new report from The Diffusion Group, a leading digital consumer and new media research consultancy, suggests that as DirecTV phases out shipments of TiVo DVRs ? a relationship that accounted for 70% of TiVo units sold in 2004 but will account for less than 5% of unit shipments by 2007 ? TiVo will be forced to come to terms with an increasingly competitive market flooded by free DVRs from video service providers.
"Can TiVo Survive? A Case Study in the Perils of First-to-Market Innovations" argues that though TiVo will look to new cable and satellite relationships to fill the gap, these dealings will generate far too little revenue to sustain the company for the long-term."TiVo's new president and CEO, Tom Rogers, will face many challenges as he leads TiVo into its post-DirecTV chapter," said Scott Kipp, author of the report and a contributing analyst with The Diffusion...

Make your cologne your own
Once you have found a scent that you feel really defines who you are and what you are all about, (and makes you just a little more unforgettable!), how do you make it your own?
By that we mean, how do you make people think, "that smells like Sheryl" or, "that smells like Jeff" instead of, "isn't that the cologne that Janet wears?" Making the cologne "your own" means engulfing yourself in the scent so that it becomes an integral part of you, without becoming overwhelming to others.
