“Lately, we’ve received a great amount of feedback from customers and have learned that the energy efficiency numbers are even higher than originally calculated,” explains Ido Goldstein, director at Smart Fog.

And, while energy efficiency is a top benefit, the ES100 brings a host of others to the table. For instance, this humidification system is maintenance free and has the ability to disinfect and sanitize so no other system is needed.

“We also have the shortest lead time in the industry,” says Goldstein. “Our clients are up and running in less than a week.”

The ES100 is designed for commercial and industrial use in more than 50 different industries. Some top categories include clean rooms; wineries; data centers; HVAC/buildings and laboratories; printing environments; greenhouses and more.

So, what else makes the ES100 so special? The secret lies in the small droplet size of the water (4.2 micron) and the engineered spacing between the air and water. Smart Fog has succeeded in manipulating the droplet size to be the smallest in the industry. Water evaporates only from the droplet’s surface.

If the droplet’s surface area, in relation to the volume of water is decreased, then the evaporation efficiency is increased. The smaller the droplet size, the longer it can stay airborne. Therefore, a smaller droplet size leads to faster and more efficient water evaporation. In fact, Smart Fog has achieved a 100 percent evaporation rate which equals 100 percent water efficiency.

Installation is easy with simple, step-by-step instructions. And, customer service support is always available by phone or e-mail.

“Our clients’ success is what makes us successful,” adds Goldstein. “We work with our clients on a project-by-project basis to ensure that they get exactly what they need. There is no such thing as one size fits all.”

About SmartFog:

In business since 1980, Smart Fog(R) Inc. is the recognized world leader in the industrial and commercial humidification systems industry. And, all products are manufactured in the U.S.

The eSign Solution works by leveraging DocMagic’s proprietary ClickSign technology, which has traditionally been used by borrowers to electronically execute agreements, disclosures and notices provided in conjunction with a mortgage transaction. However, DocMagic has now extended the use of the technology by enabling open access to the innovative system – for free.

“We developed eSign to be used for any document for free to encourage greater adoption of electronic signatures,” said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. “We strongly believe that our offering will revolutionize the way documents are signed by creating a domino effect among companies using it. This new offering lays the foundation for other software vendors to follow suit with the goal of reducing the need to rely on paper and help organizations go green.”

Iannitti added: “Using our eSign solution to sign sensitive documents such as contracts, NDAs and proposals is as legally effective, valid and enforceable as documents that are printed and signed in ink. When multiple parties are involved in signing a document, that document is often printed several times, then faxed or emailed, and the process is repeated until all signatures are collected. This manual method will eventually become obsolete; as such, we’re driving the utilization of eSignatures not just in the mortgage space, but universally.”

Setup and use of the platform is quick, easy and completely free to anyone interested in using it. An application programming interface (API) is available that provides a collection of XML-based Web services that enables seamless integration with any platform. As a result, data can easily be passed from eSign to various back-office systems. DocMagic’s eSign solution has been officially released and is now available for use at www.docmagic.com .

About DocMagic:

Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Carson, Calif., DocMagic, Inc., is a document technology company that develops software, processes and web-based systems for the production and delivery of documents. DocMagic provides compliance expertise regarding the completion of all mortgage forms and both guarantees and warrants that all agency forms are up-to-date and in compliance with GSE requirements. DocMagic’s compliance experts and in-house legal staff constantly monitor legal and regulatory changes at both the federal and state levels to ensure accuracy.

Airlines interested in stocking FMC part number 176200-01-01 or planning to retrofit 737s with the latest 4 MCU flight management computers can contact CB Jones International to request a 17-page white paper outlining the benefits, capabilities and specifications associated with 4 MCU- Model 2907C1, FMC p/n 176200-01-01. In general, the greatest benefit for airlines using the 4 MCU FMC will be significant fuel savings.

When decision makers compare 4 MCU to 8 MCU FMCs they will find the 4 MCU p/n 176200-01-01 use less energy (27 watts versus 100 watts), have a much better mean time between failures (MTBF) (18,000 hours versus 6,000 hours) and are lighter (11 lbs. versus 35 lbs.).

In general, when airlines upgrade to 4MCU flight management computers, they save on maintenance costs in two ways. First, the three year warranty on the new computers will relieve the airline of ongoing internal maintenance costs, and second, after the warranty period, the airline will be operating flight management computers that have lower average cost of repairs due to the improvement to the MTFB rate.

Some highlights of the flight management computers CB Jones International offers include 32 bit architecture, on board loadable software and database, extra spare capacity in speed, memory and interfaces, single FMC operation including “Both on Left” or “Both on Right” available in case of failure, flexible ACARS permitting the airlines to change Message Content and Transmission Triggers without re-certification, Integrated GS and IRS Navigation Certified for RNP RNAV Approach and Departure Operations, “irregular operation” meaning RNP benefits are achieved by using RNAV/RNP approaches.

CB Jones International has over 35 years of experience in the aviation industry trading with customers in over 25 countries worldwide. Learn more about how CB Jones International can help you with flight management computers or flight management systems from the website at http://www.flightmanagementcomputer.com .
