      <title>The EE300Ex Humidity &amp; Temperature Transmitter Conforms to International Standards for Intrinsically Safe Applications</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Engerwitzdorf, Austria -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 01/30/2015 --  The intrinsically safe EE300Ex humidity &amp; temperature transmitter from E+E Elektronik conforms to the European ATEX Directive and now also to the international IECEx and the FM classification specifically relevant to the USA and Canada. This makes the device suitable for worldwide usage in explosion hazard areas.<br />
<br />
The EE300Ex was developed for use in explosion hazard environments and can be mounted directly in both gas and dust hazard areas of zone 0 / Div1. Precise humidity and temperature measurements from 0…100 %rel. hum. and -40…180 °C (-40...356 °F) are also possible in applications under pressure up to 300 bar (4351 psi). Just as with humidity measurement in air, the EE300Ex can also be used for moisture measurement in oils.<br />
<br />
Various models of the EE300Ex offer a high degree of flexibility. As a compact variant – with or without display – the transmitter can be mounted directly in the hazard area. With a remote probe, temperature classifications up to T6 can also be achieved. Depending on requirements, an EE300Ex model for combined humidity and temperature measurement or for temperature measurement only is available.<br />
<br />
The two-part stainless steel housing (separate connection area and measurement unit) simplifies installation of the transmitter considerably. It also permits the rapid replacement of the measurement unit – such as for calibration – without time-consuming re-cabling.<br />
<br />
The measured values are issued on two analogue outputs with 4…20mA. The power can be supplied via any intrinsically safe power supply device. In addition to the measured values for humidity and temperature, dew point, frost point, absolute humidity, mixing ratio and other calculated values can also be issued.<br />

      <title>NFL Fans Start Petition to Ban Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick from the NFL</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick taking heat from NFL fans across the country for latest cheating scandal</p><p>New York, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 01/22/2015 --  The England Patriots, no stranger to cheating scandals are in deep water again, and this time it&apos;s from NFL fans. An post on ESPN reported NFL fans have started a petition to ban Patriots head coach Bill Belichick at <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="https://www.change.org/p/nfl-ban-bill-belichick-from-the-nfl?just_created=true" href="https://www.change.org/p/nfl-ban-bill-belichick-from-the-nfl?just_created=true">https://www.change.org/p/nfl-ban-bill-belichick-from-the-nfl?just_created=true</a> Whether or not the petition will force the NFL brass to act is still unknown, but it definetely shows football fans outside of New England have had enough of a team with nicknames like Spygate, Belicheat Bunch, Tuck Rule Gang, Cheatriots, and now the latest nicknames &apos;Deflate-Gate," and &apos;Delfatriots.&apos; <br />
<br />
The Petition directed to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell states the following: "Enough is enough, the NFL needs to ban Bill Belichick for life from the NFL. He is disgracing the integrity of the league. Spying on teams, deflating footballs, and multiple accusations from other teams of mics in helmets of multiple Patriots&apos; players, bugging lockers of opposition, deceptive lineups. Not to mention the infamous Tuck Rule... it goes on and on. Forget fines and loss of draft picks, that is a joke for the team&apos;s owner Billionaire Bob Kraft. So they pay a meaningless fine and lose a draft pick, and in return win a championship. Not a bad investment. Belichick has long been known as a cheater. Look what happened to Pete Rose, he has more hits than anybody in baseball and he is banned for life for making bets on his team. Rose did not cheat and yet he&apos;s, banned. Belichick has been cheating for years. The NFL needs to ban him for life to show they will no longer tolerate cheating. After the off field troubles of Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson, this is an opportunity for the NFL to do what is right."<br />
<br />
Facebook is buzzing with football fans demanding serious action be taken against the New England Patriots and its head coach Bill Belichick. Richard Milton, a Colts fan said, "It amuses me how Patriots fans are making excuses once again about their team cheating." Michelle Baker, a lifelong New York Jets fan said, "When reminded of spygate, Patriots&apos; fans would make the excuse that &apos;everybody does it&apos;, which of course it total nonsense." John Silverman, a Dolphins fan posted, "No wonder the Patriots win the division every year, maybe the Dolphins should start cheating too so we can start making the playoffs, it certainly is working well for them." Similar comments are being posted all over Facebook and Twitter." Daniel Williamson, a blogger covering the Seattle Seahawks which will meet the Patriots in the Super Bowl on February 1st wrote, "Hopefully the hawks can pull this one out and show the world you don&apos;t need to cheat to win, that would be the ultimate revenge."<br />
<br />
New England Patriots fans, often called bandwagoners for not supporting their team in the tough early years will probably be taking more heat than usual from fans of division opponents such as Jets, Bills and Dolphins. Fans of the Raiders, Ravens and Rams will probably turn on the heat as well. Maybe New Englanders should return being New York Giants fans, which they were before the Patriots was founded in the 1960&apos;s.</p><p>For more information on this press release visit: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm">http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</a></p></div><h2>Media Relations Contact</h2><p>Richard Milton<br />Email: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/press-releases/contact/576292">Click to Email Richard Milton</a><br />Web: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.change.org/p/nfl-ban-bill-belichick-from-the-nfl?just_created=true">https://www.change.org/p/nfl-ban-bill-belichick-from-the-nfl?just_created=true</a><br /></div><div><p><img src="https://cts.releasewire.com/v/?sid=576292&amp;s=f&amp;v=f" width="1" height="1" alt=""><span></span></p></div>]]></description>

According to Henry Kroger, Regional Director for the Governing Board of ARM 9009, the certificate was issued by G-PMC Registrars, LLC and is accredited by ABAC™ (American Board of Accredited Certifications), the premier independent accreditation body in the United States.<br />
<br />
New England Grinding and Machining, LLC is a veteran owned business that has currently holds numerous certifications for quality, including ISO 9001: 2008, AS9100 Rev C, ISO/TS 16949 2002, and ISO 13485 2003.

      <title>Woman-Owned Businesses Favoring CWOB 9009 Certification over Flawed ISO 9001</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Women business owners across the country are increasingly dumping ISO 9001 for CWOB 9009-2013 quality certification</p><p>New York, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 12/12/2014 --  For the first time, an internationally recognized independent accreditation board is utilizing a woman-owned business certification program to support the quality management needs of the 8 million U.S. firms owned by women. Today, the American Board of Accredited Certifications (ABAC™) introduced CWOB 9009:2013 (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://aboac.org/certified-woman-owned-business-cwob-9009/" href="http://aboac.org/certified-woman-owned-business-cwob-9009/">http://aboac.org/certified-woman-owned-business-cwob-9009/</a>) as a quality management and training program for women-owned businesses nationwide. According to ABAC™ spokeswoman Karen Lynch, CWOB 9009 is the only quality-focused certification program specifically for businesses owned by women integrated with ISO 9001 methodologies and a new standard innovated by ABAC™ and its team of quality professionals.<br />
<br />
According to Lynch, CWOB 9009 is currently in nationwide-wide demand because women business owners are fed up with the flawed ISO 9001:2008 standard and its well known inconsistencies, outrageous fees, and lack of cost-effectiveness with no added value. "CWOB 9009 is the only quality management certification program that accredits woman-owned businesses in a wide range of industries such as manufacturing, construction, distribution, retail, financial, real estate, import &amp; export, engineering, food establishments, hospitality, professionals services, and many other sectors," said Lynch.<br />
<br />
Due to its growing popularity, there is potential for bogus CWOB 9009 certificates being issued to misinformed businesses, said Daryl Guberman, CEO of G-PMC Registrars, LLC, (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.G-PMC.com" href="http://www.G-PMC.com">http://www.G-PMC.com</a>) one of about a dozen certification bodies authorized to issue CWOB 9009:2013. <br />
<br />
"Businesses investing in the duel certification of both CWOB 9009 and ISO 9001:2008 need to make sure their certificate includes the ABAC™ trademark to ensure it&apos;s guaranteed to be accredited by the American Board of Accredited Certifications, otherwise the certificate is unfortunately bogus," said Guberman.<br />
<br />
In related news, G-PMC Registrars has increased it&apos;s campaign to warn businesses of telemarketing fraud, email scams and propaganda blogs attempting to mislead business owners on the validity of accreditation. "Fortunately, G-PMC customers are informed beforehand about these con artists and thankfully none of our customers were victimized, said Guberman.

      <title>ABAC Launches MWOB 9009 to Support Minority Woman-Owned Businesses</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The American Board of Accredited Certifications introduces MWOB 9009-2013, a quality management program for Minority Woman-Owned Businesses.</p><p>New York, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 11/12/2014 --  The nation&apos;s leading accreditation group, the American Board of Accredited Certifications (ABAC™) announced today the official release of  MWOB 9009:2013, a quality certification program specifically for Minority Woman Owned Businesses following the ISO (International Standards Organization) methodologies. According to ABAC spokeswoman Maria Santos, MWOB 9009 is an industry, socially and economically specific standard developed to support and accredit the quality management system (QMS) of businesses owned by minority woman involved in the fields of manufacturing, import/export, consultation, retail, wholesale, food services, hospitality, real estate, advertising, financial, legal services and other sectors. <br />
<br />
Santos said MWOB 9009-2013 certification (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://aboac.org/minority-woman-owned-business-mwob-9009/" href="http://aboac.org/minority-woman-owned-business-mwob-9009/">http://aboac.org/minority-woman-owned-business-mwob-9009/</a>) requires an independent review process designed to confirm that a company is actually owned, controlled, and operated by the applicants. If qualified, the program begins as a quality management consultation process and evolves into a fully accredited 3rd party certification based on the ISO 9001:2008 standard. To qualify, the business owner must be a U.S. citizen or legal resident alien, and must provide clear and documented evidence that the entity is at least 51% owned, managed or controlled by a minority woman, and established for at least six months. <br />
<br />
"MWOB 9009-2013 was developed out of necessity because some minority woman-owned businesses in the United States are presumed to be socially and economically disadvantaged, including African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian Pacific Americans and Subcontinent Asian Americans." said Santos. She concluded, "MWOB 9009 was created to help provide affordable business development assistance, specifically in quality management, and completely prepares businesses to achieve ISO 9001:2008 certification, as well as several industry specific certifications such as ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), AS 9001 Rev C (Aerospace), ISO 13485 (Medical), TS 16949 (Automotive), and SQF 2000 (Safe Quality Food)."<br />
<br />
"In order to maintain the strictest quality control, and ensure the integrity of program, MWOB 9009 certifications can only be issued by registrars accredited by the American Board of Accredited Certifications," said Laticia Washington, Regional Director for the MWOB 9009 program. According to Ms. Washington, there are currently 9 certification bodies (CB&apos;s) nationwide that are accredited and authorized to issue MWOB 9009 certificates. All authentic MWOB 9009 certificates will have the ABAC trademark.<br />
<br />
Minority woman-owned businesses interested in certification may submit an application for consideration at <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.aboac.org/mwob.html" href="http://www.aboac.org/mwob.html">http://www.aboac.org/mwob.html</a> All applicants are held strictly confidential.<br />

      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Square Deal Machining, Inc., a leading manufacturer of precision parts has been awarded the quality certifications of ISO 14001 and ARM 9009</p><p>Marathon, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 11/05/2014 --  Square Deal Machining, Inc. (SDMI), an ISO 9001:2008 certified manufacturer of high quality precision parts has been awarded ISO 14001 and ARM 9009 accreditation (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.ARM9009.com" href="http://www.ARM9009.com">http://www.ARM9009.com</a>). SDMI has four centrally located manufacturing facilities located in the heart of New York State, all have achieved ISO 9001:2013, ISO 14001 and ARM 9009:2013 certification which assures SDMI meets the strictest of quality standards and deadlines. ISO 9001 is one of the most widely used management tools in the world today with over one million organizations worldwide independently certified. ISO 14001 is more systems specific as it sets out the criteria for an Environmental Management System (EMS). ARM 9009 is the most difficult to achieve because it focuses specifically on the critical and heavily overseen firearms and armoring sectors.<br />
<br />
"ARM 9009:2013 certification is perhaps the greatest achievement of all three certifications acquired by Square Deal Machining," said Jim Davidson, Accreditation Director for the Industrial Leaders Group (ILG). He added, "ARM 9009 is a system specific accreditation based on highly specialized standards that have been universally accepted as a requirement for suppliers, subcontractors and manufacturers of all firearms and armoring type products, precision parts, materials, hardware as well as related processes used in conjunction for the manufacture of firearms, armored vehicles, and body armor systems." According to Davidson, ARM 9009 is accredited and overseen by the American Board of Accredited Certifications (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.aboac.org" href="http://www.aboac.org">http://www.aboac.org</a>), an internationally recognized accreditation body (AB) and member of the Global Quality Assurance Council (GQAC) which has signatories, regional accreditation groups, association members, and observer organizations worldwide. <br />
<br />
Joe Morgan, President of SDMI said, "Achieving these quality approved certifications is the result of a team effort committed to providing the highest quality products and services to customers. Daryl Guberman, consultant for Guberman-PMC, LLC which assisted SDMI with the certification process said, "In my over 30 years of consulting company&apos;s with their quality management needs, "Square Deal Machining ranks as one of the most impressive quality-focused manufacturers I&apos;ve had the pleasure to work with and is a perfect example of  why American manufacturing is still the best in the world." <br />

      <title>ARM 9009 Standard Surpasses ISO 9001 for Firearms and Armoring Quality Certification</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Qualified manufacturers flocking to ARM 9009 for firearms and armoring certification to upgrade or replace their 'one size fits all' ISO 9001 certification</p><p>New York, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 10/30/2014 --  (IndustrialPR.net) Several years ago, the American Board of Accredited Certifications assembled an independent committee to the address the quality and safety issues of firearms and armoring systems for military personnel, criminal justice agencies, U.S. embassies, and consumers. The committee learned there was a critical need for an improved quality management program among manufacturers of firearms and armoring systems which failed to be met by the quality management standard ISO 9001. As a result, ARM 9009 was released in 2013 as an industry specific standard offering major advantages over the &apos;one size fits all&apos; ISO 9001.<br />
<br />
ARM 9009 (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.ARM9009.com" href="http://www.ARM9009.com">http://www.ARM9009.com</a>) is a highly specialized standard that has been universally accepted by firearms and armoring manufacturers and suppliers as well as companies that manufacturer or supply parts, components and materials to the firearms and/or armoring industry. ARM 9009 certifications apply to all manufacturers, machine shops, metal fabricators, welding shops, plastic molders, and suppliers of various parts, components, forgings, tubing, fasteners, metals, plastics and other materials used in the production of firearms and armoring systems. Companies who wish to become ARM 9009 certified must comply with additional requirements beyond ISO 9001 that are specific to the industry.<br />
<br />
"ARM 9009 is not an extension of ISO 9001 but rather, a more robust and client-centered certification program in which audits are system-specific and precisely comprehensive to the firearms and armoring industry," said Henry Kroger, spokesman for ABAC. He added, "ARM 9009 focuses exclusively on the firearms and armoring sectors, and is the only designated quality management registration with this specific designation extending to federal, state, local, and international markets.<br />
<br />
ABAC recently introduced its new ARM 9009 intro video (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXx0IPwY0Fw" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXx0IPwY0Fw">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXx0IPwY0Fw</a>) which showcases the safety, performance, integrity and strength in which the standard offers the firearms and armoring industries. ABAC plans to broadcast the intro on various cable news stations, television networks and online media to inform businesses and consumers of the importance of ARM 9009 certification.<br />

He added, "Approval of ARM 9009 certification requires much more than a &apos;compliance to a standard,&apos; but more importantly, a proven dedication to quality and strong customer focus throughout the organization. Alpine Armoring has clearly shown that commitment and is well deserving of its ARM 9009:2013 certification."<br />

      <title>ABAC Guarantees Accreditation While ANAB Shockingly Offers a "Probably"</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Quality-minded companies nationwide and overseas are outraged to discover their ISO certificates may provide no guarantee of accreditation and thus could be invalid</p><p>New York, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/19/2014 --  ABAC™ (American Board of Accredited Certifications) has always guaranteed the accreditation of all its quality certificates issued by authorized certification bodies (registrars) for ISO 9001:2008, ISO 13485, ISO 17025, ISO14000, AS 9100 Rev C, and TS 16949. In contrast, those companies believe to be accredited by ANAB® lack the same guarantee according to the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board&apos;s own website which quotes a &apos;probably yes&apos; with no clear guarantee of accreditation at <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.anab.org/accreditation.aspx" href="http://www.anab.org/accreditation.aspx">http://www.anab.org/accreditation.aspx</a> <br />
<br />
"What does &apos;probably&apos; mean", asked Richard Milton, senior journalist for IndustrialPR, a news agency releasing news to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. Milton, who has been investigating the matter since early this year said business owners should be outraged that their quality certificates accredited by ANAB® are backed by a &apos;probably.&apos; <br />
<br />
Apparently the news about ANAB® accreditation is spreading quickly among the manufacturing community causing more businesses to flock to ABAC for its guaranteed accreditation program. Among them include leading trade associations and organizations such as the American Machine Shops Network (AMSN), Worldwide Industrial, MFGmatch, IndustrialSAVER, Guberman-PMC, ILG, ForeignTRADEX, IndustrialCOOP, and numerous other world class organizations.<br />
<br />
ABAC™ has released shocking information on it&apos;s website revealing information about accreditation myths, scams, bogus certification bodies, invalid certificates, dishonest registrars, IAF (International Accreditation Forum) deception, and the growing number of fraudulent consultants bamboozling companies out of money. Such information can be read at:<br />

ABAC assures the customer it does not allow (CB) registrars to issue certificates which are unaccredited or provide certifications for standards for which the registrars are not accredited to issue. ANAB® does not provide the same assurance as shown here: <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.g-pmc.com/guberman-pmc-unveils-the-corruption-in-iso-certification-pricing-and-the-myth-of-anab-accreditation/" href="http://www.g-pmc.com/guberman-pmc-unveils-the-corruption-in-iso-certification-pricing-and-the-myth-of-anab-accreditation/">http://www.g-pmc.com/guberman-pmc-unveils-the-corruption-in-iso-certification-pricing-and-the-myth-of-anab-accreditation/</a> <br />
<br />
ABAC&apos;s mission is to increase competition in the quality arena. In contrast, the IAF and ASQ-ANAB –ANSI, along with their sub affiliations have been shown to stifle competition as reported here: <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ5mpEi7KTQ" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ5mpEi7KTQ">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ5mpEi7KTQ</a><br />

      <title>Enhanced Fiber Optic Position Sensor Now Features 14-Bit Resolution</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Micronor, Inc. introduces its MR330 series Fiber Optic Absolute Position Sensor System featuring 14-bit single-turn resolution</p><p>Newbury Park, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/02/2014 --  (IndustrialPR.net) The Micronor MR330 series Fiber Optic Absolute Position Sensor System now features 14-bit single-turn resolution. The enhanced performance is accomplished via improved electronics and new firmware-based algorithm update to the MR330-1 SSI Controller Module which is backwards compatible with earlier units. Rotary sensors are offered in two models - Standard MR332 and MRI Safe MR338. <br />
<br />
The absolute rotary encoder measures absolute angular position from 0° to 360° via programmable 13-bit (8,192 count) or 14-bit (13,950 count) resolution at speeds exceeding 2500 rpm. System firmware also tracks turns up to 12-bits (4096 revolutions). The controller features multiple built-in interfaces for maximum system compatibility and utility: SSI, USB, RS485 Serial, Modbus RTU, two analog outputs (4-20mA and ±10V) and two digital set points. <br />
<br />
The MR330 series position sensor is an innovative all-optical design immune to any electro-magnetic interference such as lightening, radiation, magnetic fields and other harsh environmental conditions. The fiber optic aspect of the sensor also makes it perfectly suited for long distance position sensing over hundreds of meters without being affected by ground loop problems. The system outperforms resolvers and conventional electronics-based encoders by providing inherently safe operation and interference-free sensor transmission over distances exceeding 300 meters.<br />
<br />
The sensor uses a novel optical technique em bedded in a passive sensor and active controller connected by a duplex fiber optic link. The controller transmits a burst of light to the code disk in the sensor which accurately modulates the spectral components of the light based on angular position. The position information is imprinted in the optical spectrum of the light and guided back to the controller for a precise position readout. The sensor requires no electrical power and houses no electronic components whatsoever.<br />
<br />
The MR330&apos;s accuracy and EMI immunity make it an ideal sensor for applications that require precise motion control and position measurement in challenging environments: oil rigs, satellite antennas, solar panel arrays, actuator systems, transportation systems, steel mills and medical instrumentation. The sensor is also classified as a "inherently safe, simple apparatus" and meets ATEX requirements for use in mines, gaseous and dust-based explosive environments. The sensor&apos;s immunity to lightning and high voltage arcing also make it especially suited for outdoor applications such as wind turbines and antenna towers as well as robotic welding systems.<br />
