Even as his Stanford career is in its infancy, freshman swimmer Matthew Swantson has already picked up national honors in his home country.

A native of Newmarket, Ontario, Swantson was named the 2009 Male Junior Swimmer of the Year. Even more impressive is the fact that it was the second straight time that Swantson has received the award. Total points determine the winner and Swantson was honored in large part because of the 918 points he accumulated at this summer’s British Tri-Nations Meet in London.

Swantson, who swims backstroke, was presented with the trophy at the Canada Cup, where he also swam in the 200 and 50-meter races, placing second in both. In the 200 meter backstroke, he was second only to Matt Hawes, who holds the Canadian record in the event.

Swantson has already seen action for Stanford in the fall section of the team’s schedule. The Cardinal is currently ranked No. 2 in the nation and will not be back in action until it faces Pacific on Jan. 9.

Undoubtedly, POS system is essential and necessary for modern-day retail industry and hospitality industry, but one of inevitable challenges for the POS solution supplier and demander have to face with is that every enterprise has its own unique POS requirements which are different and variable by business model, size of operation and the maintenance planning.

Sinocan knows such concerns and identifies a solution which is to separate the touch screen feature from the all-in-one POS devices.

Designed as a touch monitor, T06 series could be combined with any other POS device on the market and integrated into any tailor-made POS system. With T06 series, you can decide and choose the hardware specification of your POS system at your own way without compromising the so called “standardized specification”.

Furthermore, without CPU, RAM, main-board and other necessary components used by all-in-one POS device, T06 series have strong price and cost edges with various size selection and different touch screen technology, allowing you more flexible budget allocation and flexible usages.

Sherborne Sensors, a global leader in the design and manufacture of inclinometers, accelerometers, force transducers, load cells, rotary encoders, instrumentation and accessories for industrial, military and aerospace customers, has announced the launch of the T700 series, a high-precision range of compact, DC-operated solid state MEMS inclinometers. The series is designed to measure inclination proportional to sine of angle in one axis (model T710), or dual axes at right angles (model T720), in applications where space is at a premium.

Available in ranges from ±30° to ±90°, the T700 series features an advanced micro-machined MEMS sensor, incorporating air damping. Unlike fluid-damped devices, air damping is essentially independent of temperature, which enables the inclinometer to reliably perform over a wide temperature range. Units are housed in a lightweight, robust light alloy package and fully compensated for temperature effects on sensitivity and zero. The T700 series incorporates positive mechanical stops, conferring excellent shock resistance and over-ranging protection. DC response capabilities of the T700 series facilitate exceptional accuracy. Units operate from an unregulated DC power source, with a self-test feature on both axes.

T700 series inclinometers are supplied with an integral shielded cable with built-in strain relief, attached to the inclinometer housing, which may be fitted with an optional electrical connector. The T700 series -0101 model variant incorporates a temperature sensor, which enables each unit to be individually characterized over its operational temperature range. A supplied characteristic error correction equation helps minimize measurement uncertainties due to zero offset, sensitivity error and linearity, thermal zero shift and thermal sensitivity shift. By entering equation coefficients into the host operating software, cost-effective, precision inclination measurements, with accuracies better than ±1milli radian, may be achieved. The T700 series is supplied with a comprehensive two-year warranty.

The inclinometers are ideally suited for road bed analysis, platform and machinery leveling, satellite antenna positioning, civil engineering analysis, and geophysical and seismic studies.

For areas with particularly strict hygiene requirements

For application areas with particularly strict requirements with regard to hygiene, for cleaning according to the HACCP concept, for example in clinics, old people’s homes, canteen kitchens or in the area of food processing or storage respectively, in future Hako will offer antibacterial tanks for the Hakomatic “clinic machines” (CLH models).

This is due to the fact that there is the danger that, over the course of time, there could be a build-up of bacteria in particular in the dirty water tank and germination may take place – especially if the inside of the tank is not cleaned 100% after use. This is undesirable and could potentially pose a risk, in particular in sensitive areas such as clinics.

In order to counteract this problem a special additive with antibacterial properties is mixed with the synthetic material, which restricts the growth of germs in the tank – confirmed by tests.

Ehcolo is now supplying the worlds first bag palletizers with servo control. Further an easy pattern generation software on a 15″ color PC touchscreen, which is very operator friendly. The palletizers are now faster and at same prices as before and even more accurate. Because of the soft stop and start on all items the wear is reduced to 0 and we gives 2 years warranty as standard. Further all braking energy is re-used as power, this reduces the overall power consumption considerably, so our palletisers are now “green”.

We’ve seen way too many stories of law enforcement officials blaming online tools like Craigslist, rather than using them proactively to help fight crime. Luckily, it appears that more and more folks in law enforcement are smart enough to know better. Robert Ring alerts us to a story about how gangs in New York are using Twitter to communicate and coordinate, but rather than blaming Twitter, the NYC Police Department is using it as a handy tool to find out what’s going on:

Investigators are monitoring the traffic in hopes of sweeping up gangbangers before the bloodshed – and searching Twitter after attacks for clues.

“It is another tool … just like old phone records,” a police source said. “We can go through them [messages] to track these guys.”

Nice to see these tools being used properly by law enforcement, rather than yet another public freakout over the wrong thing.

Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Shortbread Cookie Mix is a new product for celiacs and their families. Unfortunately, this product does not come in a recyclable container or contain organic ingredients, but they are gluten-free. Each cookie contains 29 grams of carbohydrates, so they are not diabetic-friendly, however, there are only eight grams of sugar.

Ingredients: Potato Starch, Sugar, Whole Grain Sorghum Flour, Cornstarch, Tapioca Starch, Sea Salt, Xanthan Gum, Natural Vanilla Powder (sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract).

Making this mix is rather easy, although we used twice as much water as the package required. It is not a kid-friendly mix, as most gluten-free ingredients are difficult to work with for little hands. The dough did roll (and re-roll) out easily between plastic wrap (bottom layer of parchment paper works best), and small cookie cutters are best. The finished cookies are excellent and taste is not compromised by the gluten-free ingredients.

Bob’s Red Mill uses “an ELISA Gluten Assay test to determine if a product is gluten free,” so you can be assured this product is allergen-free for celiacs.
 

Disclosure: I was sent a free package of Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Shortbread Cookie Mix to try out in order to write this review. No prior assurances were given as to the positive or negative nature of the review in exchange for the product.
