Design to Innovation introduced the World’s First Wireless Scanner Mouse: Zcan Wireless

Leave a comment

Design to Innovation (DTOI) has announced a campaign on Indiegogo (#indiegogo) to help complete the development of Zcan Wireless, the world’s first wireless scanner mouse. The funding went from $24,000 to $90,000 which pushing to over 300% in 3 days. Zcan is a scanner integrated into a wireless mouse; represents a new and unique way of scanning documents, books, magazines, and more, by allowing users to easily swipe in a zigzag motion across what they want to capture.

Zcan Wireless can scan the portions of the areas users want, meaning they no longer have to scan the entire page like they would with a traditional scanner. Users can scan anything from a receipt, a recipe to photos and nutritional information printed in a foreign language. Scanned information becomes searchable, meaning users can get rid of their paper versions and box files with backup copies.

“Our Wireless Scanner Mouse is about the same size and weight as a regular mouse,” said Sam Ng, business development director, DTOI. “And with Wi-Fi, users can install it on almost any device including iPad and iPhone!”
Features:
• Scan to Table – Zcan supports powerful scanning and editing features which can convert an entire table into one single sheet in Excel.
• Scan to Text – Use Zcan to edit scanned text, which is much faster than typing it entirely from scratch.
• Break Down Language Barrier – Zcan supports over 199 OCR (Optical Character Recognition) languages. With an Internet connection to Google Translate, drag the scanned paragraph into the dialogue box where it is then translated into a different language instantly. It even reads you the paragraph.
• Evernote – Zcan helps to track things like notes, letters or any important notices and store them in Evernote with just one click.
• Photos – Zcan allows users to share any scans with family or friends instantly through Facebook, Twitter, Flickr or email.
• Specifications – Sensor: Optical sensor 1000cpi / Buttons: 3 + Dedicated Scan / Resolution: Up to 400dpi / Scan size: Up to A3 (Upon memory configuration) / USB Port: 2.0 / Wireless Scanning: IEEE802.11n, g / Wireless Mouse: 2.4GHz Digital Channel.

CDL Repeats Green IT Awards Success

Leave a comment

Leading IT disposal company CDL has triumphed for the second year in a row at the Green IT Awards, winning Recycling Project Of The Year in recognition of a highly successful strategy devised for The Co-operative Travel.

CDL helped to refresh 1,900 systems for the travel industry giant by devising an effective scheme to collect old computer equipment and deliver new hardware, by visiting multiple sites in close proximity on a daily rota. CDL’s security-cleared drivers and vehicular satellite tracking ensured that data security was not compromised.

The ingenious project not only produced fantastic results for The Co-operative Travel, but also succeeded in attaining CDL’s environmental objectives.

The delivery and collection schedule created by CDL reduced the projected timescale of the overhaul by six weeks and cut anticipated fuel use by an enormous 500 per cent (approximately), slashing both the expected cost and carbon dioxide emissions.

CDL Director Jean-Pierre Naylor said: “We are thrilled to be honoured by the Green IT Awards for a second year and proud of our achievements with regard to this project.

“As well as making huge savings in fuel and pollution, we were able to refurbish and reuse 100 per cent of equipment collected from The Co-operative Travel – and we also reused all packaging. We were so pleased with the outcome that we have implemented the project’s principles in our daily business practices, which also include printer recycling.”

Demonstrating the kind of innovative thinking that has led the company to awards success, CDL also used the opportunity to experiment with cutting motorway speeds by 5 per cent, which resulted in a fuel saving of 12 per cent.

Users Turn To Motivational Eco-Friendly Computer Accessory In Tough Economic Times

In these distressed economic times, Americans are turning to positive reinforcements to uplift and encourage them. Inlectronics Inc. has created an eco-friendly computer accessory to motivate and inspire its user by metaphysically attracting positive energy online, without wasting energy through batteries or electricity.

There are constant news stories about dwindling stocks, unemployment rise, foreclosed homes and investment scams. In tough economic times like these, most relate to products that are encouraging and able to impel them in some way. In their search for stimulating accessories, computer users buy peripheral that fits in with their personality. Environmentalists appreciate items that are eco-friendly and biodegradable. Inlectronics Inc. has taken a familiar symbol and combined these attributes to create an environmentally safe computer accessory they believe will motivate and inspire.

Known as the Yin Yang Webmaster™, this computer accessory is shaped like the highly recognized Tai Chi symbol, a perfect circle with two contrasting light and dark colors, symbolizing the creation of life together sustaining inside itself the essence of the opposite energy. According to Chinese philosophy, having a harmonious balance of both Yin and Yang Feng Shui energies will create the quality of energy needed to live a healthy and fulfilling life. Inlectronics Inc. has expanded on this concept and believes that Feng Shuiing ones online activities can lead to love, happiness, health, prosperity, knowledge, and success, all from their computer. Unlike other accessories, this peripheral glows in the dark without the use of batteries or electricity, and is safe for the planet.

“Equivalent to a rabbit’s foot or four leaf clover, it’s the 2009 version of a good luck charm,” according to Z. Wilson, Inlectronics Inc. President and CEO. “Years ago people enjoyed covering their dressers and desks with beanie babies and model cars. Within this era, it’s all about what looks good and works best with your computer.”

Made of ABS material, this 7¼” decorative peripheral, once attached to the desktop, laptop, notebook or PC, is intended to inspire its user to complete important tasks, as well as motivate individuals to fully accomplish their goals. Inlectronics Inc.’s motto of ‘Feng Shui your PC and fulfill your destiny’ is intended to stress this mission.

Although the Yin Yang Webmaster™ is sold to everyone, according to current sales, the majority of purchasers are men. Research shows that men recognize and respect the popular Yin Yang symbol. The company also believes the glow in the dark feature is an appealing aspect, as it beams brightly without batteries or electricity. Teens claim they like the Webmaster™ due to the recognizable symbol and unique features compared to other computer accessories. Women who have purchased the product have said they appreciate its eco-friendly and biodegradable qualities. Parents and educators have positively commented on the affordability and motivational aspect of the product.

Due to the faltering economy, Inlectronics Inc. has lowered the price of the Yin Yang Webmaster™ to $19.95, which includes free shipping and handling, applied only to the first 5,000 Webmasters™ sold.

Guide On Buying A Better UPS

Traditionally, Specifying requirements, and Purchasing the specified product are two main consecutive stages while procuring most industrial systems. Based on study results adding a Cost Oriented Reevaluation (COR) stage, can boost significantly ROI; always of prime importance, particularly with present economy.

Generally, specification aims for simplest solutions which meet users “must have” requirements. Main UPS parameters are Output power (SIZE), Type (topology) and Battery Backup time. Size is dictated by consumers which will be protected. Back up time and the types of the systems depend on the particular application.

Three dominant UPS types are offered by manufacturers. The Off-Line type solves outages and short-term grid disturbances; Line-Interactive type solves also Undervoltage and Overvoltage disturbances, whereas the On-Line type provides the best solution to all grid related disturbances.

The simplest, Off Line UPS, is recommended for protecting home computer applications. Line Interactive systems are used for small networks, implemented in stores, restaurants, small offices. On-Line systems protect high power, installations, data centers, on line service providers, industry, and other critical applications.

In the process of checking the pros and cons of On-Line versus Line interactive UPS for a particular project, UPSonNet found that some On-Line systems were cheaper, compared to equivalent Line Interactive types. Deeper investigation, suggested that the assumption of constant Price to Power ratio should also be questioned.

This led to performing a study of UPS market prices, from small 350VA size systems up to 120kVA installations. The research was based on market prices, of main brands like APC, Powerware, Tripplite as well as smaller good standing companies, and filtering the results by a weighting factor representing supplier’s market share.

The mentioned dual stage procurement method, of preparing technical specification to meet needed requirements, followed by a purchasing stage based on the technical specification is justified, assuming positive price to performance behavior and linear behavior of price to output power ratio.

The study violates these assumptions. A better UPS may cost less, while significantly higher power may have a slight effect on price. Market prices are affected by numerous factors, such as, technological innovations, strength and preferences of individual producers, popularity of certain power levels or certain brands, and more. Therefore, no price logic is obeyed when individual systems, are concerned.

UPS Industry Price List, presented on UPSonNet’s website displays the final study results. The information enables to rise beyond the individual system and see both the forest and the trees. It allows achieving optimal solution by analyzing each specific case, in order to deduce the impact of size and topology on system cost.

Research results call for additional Cost Oriented Reevaluation Stage, before the specification is confirmed and forwarded to purchasing department. The COR stage should investigate alternate solutions, and modify UPS specification for getting superior technical performance and better economical outcome.

Guiding steps on UPSonNet’s site, direct users how to use UPS Price List to gain significant advantages. COR implementation enables to achieve such benefits as system upgrading, extending output power, increasing back up time, introducing redundancy, and more, while decreasing system cost sometimes by almost 40%.

In conclusion, UPS market price study contradicts assumed correlation between cost and performance. Thus, practice of specifying the simplest UPS to meet requirements doesn’t provide lowest cost. Implementing COR enables maximizing ROI.
