PRODUCT OF THE WEEK
Cortec's EcoAir® Wizard Screen Cleaner Works like Magic
EcoAir® Wizard Screen Cleaner from Cortec® safely cleans LCD screens of dust, dirt, and fingerprints with a no-residue, no-drip, spray foam application. This fresh scented cleaner incorporates non-toxic, biodegradable chemicals without traditional aerosols, propellants, or ozone depleting CFCs. Fast-acting, dependable, and safe to handle; EcoAir® leads the way in environmentally safe technology.

When applied to glass and plastic surfaces, the spray foam evaporates leaving a thin layer of protection that resists electrostatic charges which prohibits the buildup of reappearing dust and dirt. The cleaner cuts oil and grease on contact; does not streak, smear, or leave a filmy residue while maintaining peak operational efficiency for electronic components. This cleaner can be used for commercial, industrial, manufacturing, automotive, and general home office maintenance. Cortec --- www.cortecvci.com

***Bullet Wireless Adapter***
GATES MILLS, OH: MACTek Corporation announces the release of its WirelessHART adapter, a universal communication device for use with both analog and HART-enabled devices. The Bullet provides a cost-effective means to access process measurements and communicate process variables and other valuable information to the control room without wires. The Bullet enables existing wired HART field devices from any supplier to communicate with host applications by means of WirelessHART technology. The Bullet is installed permanently by wiring it directly to a standard HART field device, or connecting it anywhere on the 4-20mA current loop with a junction box. A wired HART field device retrofitted with the Bullet communicates its analog process variable over the existing wiring to the existing DCS with no wiring changes. The Bullet simultaneously communicates the digital PV and device diagnostic information over the WirelessHART network. ---MACTek Read More

INDUSTRY TRENDS
Business Environment Faced by Electrical Equipment Manufacturers Turned Negative in August
NEMA's Electroindustry Business Confidence Index (EBCI) for current North American business conditions plummeted in the latest month, falling nearly 18 points. With the August performance coming on the heels of a decline of nearly 7 points in July, the index has now fallen by more than 24 points in the space of only two months - from 70.4 in June to 46 currently. The sub-50 point value - only the second recorded since July 2009 - indicates, across the electroindustry, more businesses than not saw conditions deteriorate during the month. The EBCI for future North American conditions posted its third consecutive decline, dropping slightly to 54 in August from 57.7 in July. The index had climbed as high as 77.1 in May, its top level in more than 5 years. Despite its summer-long downslide, the index continues to indicate, if by a shrinking margin, that more panelists than not expect an improvement in the business environment over the next six months.
