This 10-employee digital printing company whose plan was to grow their business through the addition of dedicated professional. Past experiences in hiring and compensating sales professionals had been unsuccessful. The company needed help not only in selecting the most qualified candidates, but also in designing and implementing a mutually beneficial...
The article refers to the Check 21 legislation. With 113 branch locations in and around Washington, D.C., Baltimore-based Provident Bank understands the importance of operational efficiency and superior customer service. Provident carefully considered whether to implement an in-house solution or outsource to a proven provider. Provident Bank chose to leverage...
Harland's facility in Atlanta, Georgia, employs about 225 people and prints personal and corporate checks for thousands of customers throughout the southeastern United States. Atlanta site installed fifteen of the new printing machines and piloted the compressed air improvement project. The new printing machines' greater demand for compressed air led...
Throughout the 1900s, the nation relied almost entirely on shallow, high-quality reservoirs to provide natural gas. However, as the "low-hanging fruit" of the nation's resource base are picked, it is becoming increasingly necessary to drill into more complex, deeper, and lower-quality reservoirs to meet rising demands. One of the keys...
The paper states that the goal of advanced fracture detection technologies is to observe subsurface fractures prior to drilling. The paper also elaborates on detection technologies that generally rely on advanced seismic collection and analysis techniques to reveal directional differences anisotropies in the reservoir's seismic response that may be related...
The article mentions that the goal of natural fracture prediction technologies is to discern the likely location, orientation, and relative aperture of natural fractures from the structural configuration of an area and the mechanical qualities of the reservoir rock. This "geomechanical approach" can augment or be augmented by direct detection...
Basin-centered settings do possess isolated pockets of enhanced reservoir quality. Furthermore, contrary to earlier thinking on basin-centered systems, recently drilling results indicates that simply finding the sweet spots in reservoir quality is not sufficient to ensure success - it is also necessary to assess whether the reservoir will produce gas...
The article mentions that the goal of natural fracture prediction technologies is to discern the likely location, orientation, and relative aperture of natural fractures from the structural configuration of an area and the mechanical qualities of the reservoir rock. This "geomechanical approach" can augment or be augmented by direct detection...
The article states that currently, the art of selecting locations of natural gas and oil development wells relies primarily on information acquired from two sources of significantly different resolution. Surface seismic surveys provide a coarse overview of the stratigraphy and structure in the region surveyed. However, the resolution of surface...
The WesternGeco Q-Marine survey over the Magnus field addressed the key business drivers for BP in the North Sea: increasing near- and long-term cash flow from existing assets and prolonging viable field life. WesternGeco applied an integrated project design IPD process using existing seismic and borehole information, conducted bandwidth analysis...
This article focuses on Desiccant dehumidification which removes humidity from ventilation air. Thus, air conditioning requirements are reduced to meet the demands of sensible cooling and smaller air-conditioning plants are required. Smaller air-handling systems are also made possible. Desiccant cooling systems are best suited to health-care buildings where healthy indoor...
San Dieguito Printers is one of the most well established printing companies in southern California. To ensure that the pre-press, printing, collating, binding, and shipping operations continue without interruption, San Dieguito Printers invested in a 600 kilowatt diesel generator set from Generac Power Systems. Generator Power Systems, the local San...
NorskeCanada is the largest paper company in western North America and the third largest producer of newsprint and ground wood printing papers in North America. At the Port Alberni mill, a steam-driven hydraulic de-barker was limiting the amount of electricity that could be generated by reducing the amount of steam...
The Roanoke Times originated in 1886 and today is the dominant newspaper in southwestern Virginia. The need for longer press runs and larger papers recently drove a decision to install a new, larger printing plant at the newspaper's headquarters in Roanoke. This new facility required additional comfort cooling, plus a...
Functional magnetic resonance imaging fMRI has significantly contributed to understanding both normal and diseased human brains. Variability often exists in the magnitude, spatial distribution, and statistical significance of the resulting fMRI maps due to differences in equipment and other site-specific differences. In addition, because of costly imaging, demanding tasks, and...
Intraoperative imaging is used more frequently today since this enables the surgeon to localize structures inside the brain more accurately and helps to detect shape changes. In order to combine information's derived at different time points, it describes a nonrigid registration algorithm that aligns MR scans of the brain. Based...
This article explains how, being no longer used only for sampling, textile ink jet printing is becoming a viable option for short run production. Two companies, Stork Prints, a global market leader for textile printing systems and Ciba, an innovative producer of specialty chemicals, offer their involvement and perspective on...
The article deals with the new methods of packaging. The octagonal shape also stabilizes the pie within the package, reducing product damage during distribution. The package is made of .020 SBS board. An aqueous coating on the carton protects the five-color printing. It also reveals that Paperboard forming technologies, which...
Printing is the number one value-added process used by converters of flexible packaging. This article discusses the new technologies that are now available that allow converters to differentiate their products from the multitudes of other flexible packages on store shelves. This article further states that new equipment and equipment technologies...
