Announcing Nex Flow? Rugged Air Amplifiers For Blow off, Cooling and Venting

Toronto (PRWEB) March 26, 2012
The Nex Flow? Air Amplifiers take compressed air and entrain surrounding air to amplify Air Flow downstream. Often called ?Air Movers? they move a tremendous amount of air utilizing the ?coanda? effect. The downstream air produced has high velocity and ?laminar flow? for strong blow-off an cleaning power. Ari amplifiers are quite, by moving parts, compact, portable, and low in cost.
Nex Flow? has four (4) versions to address virtually any application where they may be applied.
Heavy Duty Standard ?Fixed Gap? Air Amplifiers are protective coated, cast zinc and aluminum units which are rugged for factory environments. Stainless Steel shims fix the ?air gap? and additional shims may be added for increased output. Units are designed to mount easily onto equipment with built in mounting holes.
Adjustable Anodized Aluminum Air Amplifiers are made of anodized aluminum for environmental protection. Units are low in cost and the ?air gap? can be adjusted to a setting desired for a particular application, and locked into place using a lock ring. Popular for machine builders due to low cost and light weight.
Adjustable Anodized Aluminum Air Amplifiers Gauged for Accurate Gap Setting is the same as the regular adjustable units except they are marked to accurately set the air gap. Ideal for precision applications on equipment.
Stainless Steel Adjustable Air Amplifiers are the stainless steel versions of the adjustable units for high temperature and food applications.
Applications include: remove water, coolant, dust and scrap in parts manufacturing/assembly operations, cool enamel and water based paints in parts manufacturing, auto body shops or assembly lines, blow off of water from the tops of cans, bottles and all types of packaging prior to labeling, ink jetting, palletizing or packaging, convey light materials and waste, part ejection, fume removal, dust and liquid blow off from all types of parts, replace fans for better and faster cooling in many applications, cool, clean and dry all types of material before painting, coating or polishing, remove coolant mist form machining operations and to boost existing fume removal systems. cool Steel Forgings, and trim removal in paper, film or foil operations. Stainless units have been used on ovens to isothermalize and in blow molding operations for cooling.
MobileDemand Partners with GB Tech: Rugged Tablet PC Now Available on GSA Schedule 70

Hiawatha, IA (PRWEB) August 16, 2011
Hiawatha, Iowa ? Tuesday, August 16, 2011. MobileDemand, a leading provider of rugged Tablet PCs for military, government and public sector agencies, announces a reseller partnership agreement with GB Tech, a leading provider of logistics and IT services to the aerospace, homeland security, energy and healthcare industries. MobileDemand also announces that its rugged Tablet PC systems can now be purchased on a GSA Schedule ? General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule for General Purpose Commercial Information Technology Equipment, Software, and Services.
The GSA Schedule 70 award allows the federal, state and local governments to purchase MobileDemand products from GB Tech through a streamlined process and pre-negotiated pricing that will save them time, resources and money.
The MobileDemand products now available on the GSA IT Schedule 70 include specific configurations of the xTablet T7000, xTablet T8700 and xTablet C1200 ruggedized Tablet PC, options and accessories. MobileDemand has been providing products to the military and government agencies for several years. The US Army is using xTablets for asset tracking, and mapping in the battlefield. The USDA uses the MobileDemand rugged Tablet PC for field inspections. Other military and government applications include: use in Humvee?s for routing and targeting; use by fire departments for post-fire building inspections and on fire engines for routing and accident reporting; use by the Air Force for depot logistics; and use in robotic minesweepers.
xTablets are built military rugged to withstand the rigors of government field work and military battlefields. They are MIL-STD 810G compliant and have an Ingress (Sealing) Rating of up to IP65, which means they have been tested to survive pressured water, temperature extremes, rain, humidity, salt, sand, dust, shock, vibration and 26 consecutive drops from 5 feet.
With MobileDemand?s product offering now available on the GSA Schedule coupled with GB Tech?s years of experience in providing managed IT, software testing and logistics services for solutions that demand mission-critical precision and scalability, we can better serve the dynamic needs of government, military and public safety agencies.

Rugged, Battery-Powered Server from NextComputing Brings Local Cloud Computing to the Field

Nashua, NH (PRWEB) August 11, 2011
NextComputing, a leading provider of portable workstations and dense, small-footprint servers, announces a new rugged portable server solution for forward deployed military environments or any remote location that requires enterprise computing resources. The Vigor EX-B is NextComputing?s first completely battery-powered and fully mobile rugged server, able to run on its own internal power for up to 4 hours. Designed to support tactical operations centers and other mission-critical environments, the Vigor EX-B is the ideal platform for delivering virtualized ?local cloud? computing services to multiple users in a remote setting.
As cloud computing continues to grow across multiple industries, off-site operations are often seeking solutions to provide these types of services in the field. While traditional rackmount servers can do the job, these systems and their associated rack infrastructure ? including power conditioning, switching, KVM, etc. ? are often impractical in a tactical environment where size, weight, power and mobility are important factors. Electrical power is usually unreliable in these situations, and a typical UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) can only run a server for a very short period of time. And though laptops are usually the preferred platform for client systems, these computers are not up to the task of running multiple concurrent applications and operating systems with virtualization ? a requirement for deploying cloud services.
NextComputing solves these problems with the Vigor EX-B. Most importantly, the system is designed from the ground up for portability, reliability, and performance. The server?s rugged anodized aluminum chassis with both interior and exterior rubber shock absorbers insures that the system will hold up to the rigors of field use. With its integrated Lithium-ion battery, the unit is able to run for up to 4 hours on battery power alone ? unheard of in a server. The Vigor EX-B is also based on Intel
