Museum Uses Lilitab iPad Kiosks to Engage Visitors

As part of “The Sound of Sax” exhibit, The Museum of Making Music has installed several Lilitab iPad kiosks to share videos and sound clips to entertain and educate visitors about the process of music creation. The Lilitab kiosks contain headphone mounts on the stands, providing enhanced sound and improved visitor interactions.

“It was a great solution”, says B.J. Morgan, Marketing Manager at The Museum. The iPads® remain fully charged when plugged into an outlet using the integrated charging cable in each stand. Kiosk set-up is quick and easy; just attach an iPad, secure the head unit, and plug in the power cord.

Installing different home button access face plates regulates visitor interactions; full web access, a single site or specific application can be configured for varying visitor experiences.

Temporary installations are easily managed with the lightweight and portable Lilitab kiosk. The modular design of the mounting solution provides for several types of visitor stations: wall mounted, surface mounted, tabletop or floor stand.

Full ADA compliance assures the Lilitab provides easy iPad® interactions for wheelchair visitors.

The Lilitab iPad enclosure head unit securely locks the tablet in place. Every mounting solution has the option to be bolted or cable-locked to the floor or other fixture. Integrated into the Lilitab design from the very beginning, museums can be sure their iPad® resources are safe in public venues.

The Lilitab iPad kiosk is versatile, modular and easy to customize. The Lilitab Tabletop turns any desk or table into a self-service station with quick installation; the Lilitab Surface is for a more permanent solution for a wall or counter. Keyboard and printer shelves are also available as added accessories. Optional banners to promote special events or seasonal activities enhance the visitor experience even more.

The Museum of Making Music, founded in 1998 by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM), was developed to showcase and celebrate the music products industry. The Museum provides opportunities for cultural enrichment while preserving our musical heritage through special exhibitions, innovative concerts and educational programs aimed toward a wide range of audiences.

Lilitab is a group of designers, engineers & business people passionate about the use of tablet computers in public-use environments. With their compelling interface, compact form-factor and economical price-point, there are all kinds of new and unique uses for putting interactivity into the public space. Additional applications from Lilitab include aniPad credit card reader and iPad ID scanner.

Founded in 2011 by Adam Aronson, an award winning kiosk designer, Lilitab is committed to delivering the most secure, functional and stylish security enclosures for ANY tablet. Adam has been designing custom kiosk enclosures for public-use environments since 1994 in San Francisco.

Museums can engage visitors using the affordable and sleek Lilitab iPad kiosk.

Cisco Systems Launches New Instructional Videos

Cisco Systems has announced the launch of a new series of three videos which, against the backdrop of the closure of much of the European airspace, are designed to help get Cisco Systems seen as the single source for real-world answers to today’s business challenges.

Cisco Systems Launches New Instructional Videos

The increased global business challenges which have been experienced over the last few days, as a result of the recent volcanic eruptions in Iceland, have highlighted the need for constant accessibility to practical answers, expert advice, and proven solutions which are available 24-7 and without an over reliance on planes, trains and automobiles.

Cisco as the worldwide leader in networking aims to transform how people connect, communicate and collaborate and open up possibilities around the world for companies in a format that is convenient for users. The disruption caused by the grounding of flights across the UK, Ireland, Norway, northern France, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium, demonstrates the need for increased borderless networking and improved online solutions.

Belden’s New Adaptive Enclosure Heat Containment System “Greens” The Data Center By Slashing Cooling Costs

Belden (NYSE: BDC), a world leader in the development of signal transmission products for industrial, enterprise, building management, broadcast, and security applications, has introduced a new adaptive enclosure heat containment (AEHC) system for data centers that will ensure the entire room is normalized with cold air to just the right amount, with no wasteful oversupply of cooling.

Carl Bruckner, General Manager of Belden’s Cable Management Group, states: “The AEHC system is a key addition to Belden’s enclosure products, allowing our partners to effectively manage the deployment of high density, high heat load equipment in both new and existing data centers.”

In the new Belden system, a pressure reading made by a sensor inside the enclosure plenum modulates the rotational speed of the fans in the two cartridges mounted atop the enclosure. The speed is varied so that they pull out exactly the correct amount of air from the enclosure and send it back to the air conditioner return via a ceiling plenum.

The process of cooling enclosures in a data center today wastes excessive amounts of energy, largely due to oversupply of cold air by computer room air conditioner (CRAC) units attempting to compensate inefficiency in the enclosure cooling process.

A recent study on 19 large computer rooms found that, on average, the amount of cold air supplied to a data center room is 2.6 times the amount of cold air actually consumed by the IT load. The CRAC is oversupplying the room with cold air to overcome both bypass leakage and the effects of hot/cold mixing. The result is a significant waste of energy and dollars.

However, because of its innovative heat containment design, the new Belden AEHC system overcomes these problems. Since it completely separates the hot and cold side of operations, the room will be normalized with cool air which never experiences mixing with exhaust heat from the enclosure. The bypass problem is eliminated, too.

There is no need to oversupply cold air to the room.

The physical position of the CRAC unit and its proximity to the enclosures are no longer a concern, a fact which greatly simplifies the challenge of data room infrastructure design. Cool air can be fed to the computer room via a raised floor or an overhead duct which enhances your freedom of infrastructure design.

When designing a totally new data center with the AEHC system, you can now install bigger and fewer CRAC units, instead of relying on many smaller units that are less efficient. And when retrofitting an existing room, you can use the same amount — and same type — of cooling equipment currently installed. In either scenario, Belden’s advanced management software will help you better control your IT environment by giving you real time assessment of enclosure cooling load or demand.

You will be able to deploy more IT load in the same room, a great efficiency benefit in today’s economy. If you have space left in your enclosures but aren’t deploying more devices there because your cooling system is already at full capacity, you can retrofit Belden’s new heat containment system on those enclosures that have the highest heat loads, to be able to host even more IT equipment.

As a bonus, the AEHC system increases the temperature differential between the inlet and outlet temperatures of the CRAC unit for much greater operational efficiency, giving you an important savings in energy consumption. With no mixing of hot and cold air, it is possible to raise the temperature of the cooling air supplied to enclosures to be closer to the ASHRAE recommended upper limit. The cold/hot air paths are fully separated by the system, so the CRAC supplies less air to the room at a higher temperature, and still assures better cooling with no hot spots.
