Since March 2005, when Gainesville ordered the Building Systems Network chief executive officer to remove a partially-finished modular house in Waters Edge subdivision, Smereczynsky has sued in Hall County and federal court, rallied interest from the modular construction industry nationwide, and regularly pleaded his case to area media. "I've chosen to continue the fight," Smereczynsky said last week. "... I'm in the deal to the end." The deal has reached a new boiling point. The city, feeding off a state Court of Appeals denial of Building System's appeal, on Sept. 12 gave the Gainesville company 30 days to remove the home on Waters Edge Drive. Smereczynsky is seeking a court stay. An attorney representing the city's insurance company has also filed to dismiss constitutional claims in Smereczynsky's second lawsuit.
The BATM InterNetworking OS (BiNOS) from Telco systems embeds management intelligence in all BATM/Telco Systems hardware platforms. From the troubleshooter patching into a unit in the field, to the manager supervising the network from a central console, the BiNOS supports administrators with performance information and configuration tools. The BiNOS makes network management easy and intuitive. The BiNOS-enabled network devices support advanced multilayer switching protocols. They can be field-upgraded to higher-layer functionality with no downtime in most cases. To exploit the management intelligence BiNOS puts in our devices, BATM/Telco offers a complete range of command-line and graphical system management tools. Built around open SNMP standards, based on portable Java technology, these powerful tools integrate seamlessly with your existing network management toolkit.
The ID Technology RFID Reject Module can be used with all ID Technology 250 tamp-blow printer applicators. The 250r, ID Technology's RFID printer applicator, reads, writes and verifies RFID tags prior to printing and dispensing the tag/label onto a tamp pad for automatic application of the tag/label to a case or carton. If the RFID tag cannot be verified, the reject module's plate moves in front of the tamp pad and the "bad" tag/label is blown onto the reject plate, which then returns to the home position. When the RFID plate becomes full of "bad" tags, a beacon is illuminated. An output is also available for customer use. The IDT 250r printer applicator features the same modular component configuration as the original IDT 250 Series printer applicator, as well as, "hot swap" spare assemblies that install in minutes.
RESTON, Va., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Synchronica plc, an international provider of mobile synchronization and device management solutions, today announced the Automated Device Management Hotline which is based on its SyncML DM Server. The Hotline is designed to help device manufacturers and mobile operators combat spiraling customer care costs. The automated hotline, realized with Synchronica's proprietary Sydemas scripting language, can be used by mobile operators and device manufacturers to identify and resolve configuration problems over-the-air (OTA) and, where appropriate, send firmware updates over-the-air (FOTA). Customer care costs are rising fast because modern phones are more complex to configure and are more likely to have firmware defects, which sometimes require an expensive and brand-damaging product recall.
The latest idea in compact living is a little box atop a high-rise in the city or suburbs. Modular structures that might be placed atop flat existing buildings are being produced in Europe. Architect Werner Aisslinger designed an instant pent- house in a transportable 400-square-foot Loftcube (www.loftcube.net). The unit, light enough to be transported by helicopter, costs about $70,000. Including bathroom and kitchen, the price can be $173,000 to $230,000. With walls of glass, this also could be the perfect answer for a mountaintop retreat or an island hideaway. The sleek Hanse Colani Rotor House was designed for young professionals who need minimal space. The idea was part of an avant-garde project begun by design guru Luigi Colani and Hanse Haus (www.hanse-haus.de) to deal intensively with the topic of house shapes of the future.
