HOT NEW PRODUCTS - Editor's Choice
Micro Valve Technology
MORRISVILLE, NC: SCHUNK, Inc. is introducing the new miniaturized MV micro valves that offer short cycle times, low energy consumption, simple operation, and high reliability. The electrically actuated 3/2 pneumatic valves are screwed directly onto the actuator, which makes the hose connections between the valve and the actuator completely unnecessary. That reduces the interfering contours and the assembly expense. Air flow and air connection threads are specified exactly for the relevant actuator, which guarantees simple assembly and installation. The miniaturized valves are completely maintenance-free, they take just seven milliseconds for a switch process, and they have an enormous life span of 900 million switching cycles. --- SCHUNK Inc.

New Pandemic Mask
MENPHIS, TN: MCR Safety's new respiratory product offering creates a new level of protection. The Safe2Breathe pandemic mask is one of the newest innovative PPE offerings. Safe2Breathe pandemic masks utilize nanotechnology to neutralize viruses and bacteria rather than merely trap or filter. The seven layer construction provides two-way protection (protects the wearer from contracting or spreading a virus) up to 24 hours, which is extremely valuable during a pandemic situation. Independent laboratory test results confirm that the antimicrobial properties of the Pandemic Mask are significantly effective against Influenza, Tuberculosis, MRSA, bird flu and others. The mask goes beyond filtration by neutralizing and destroying these microbes making them harmless to the environment and breaking the transmission cycle. The Pandemic Mask offers bi-directional protection with seven-layer construction (versus the 3-layer industry standard) including an active charcoal filter that disables viruses at the cellular level, repels airborne moisture and filters fine particles, blood, bacteria and viruses. --- MCR Safety

INDUSTRY TRENDS
Facebook Bans in the Workplace
"With more than 250 million users spending more than 5 billion minutes daily on Facebook, the perceived problem of employees logging onto that and other social networking sites during work hours may cause companies to consider blocking access," says Anthony Campiti, employment attorney in the Dallas office of Thompson & Knight. "There are valid legal reasons for adopting a ban, including loss of productivity, avoiding legal claims and safeguarding confidential information. However, many employers are deciding against across-the-board bans because of the negative impact on recruiting and retention, and the potential benefits in using the sites to network and build business. Companies should enforce any existing reasonable-use provisions and develop specific policies for social networking. As long as employers apply and enforce these policies consistently, they should be OK legally."
