Medivet Australia’s Stem Cell Technology Leading the Way in Regenerative Medicine

(PRWEB) March 26, 2011

An Australian company has developed a stem cell treatment which is helping to relieve pain and suffering in small and large animals all around the world.

Medivet Pty Ltd, with its own Research and Development Division and using world class manufacturing technology, has a number of Intellectual property processes which permit veterinarians to extract, process and activate an animal’s own adult stem cells which are then injected back into the animal’s own body a procedure which is exclusive to Medivet and its veterinarians.

This unique procedure, developed and owned by Medivet, is now being used in several countries worldwide and is being hailed by international veterinarians as the leading treatment for many degenerative diseases including primary and secondary arthritis, hip dysplasia, damaged or torn ligaments and tendons, joint pain, worn or damaged cartilage etc.

While stem cell technology has been referred to in medical literature since the late 1800′s, serious research has only produced viable technology within the last 10 years. The first patents, for basic human technology, were issued some ten years ago. However, some 3 years ago, Medivet, seeing the potential for new technology, especially for use in the often neglected veterinary branch of medicine, began research to develop brand new, up-to-date procedures.

Now, after spending 3 years and millions of dollars in research and development Medivet has perfected for the veterinary market one of the most exciting and valuable treatment technologies ever released exclusively for the veterinary field.

Announced just 7 months ago, this technology is taking the world by storm with exports to 14 countries and growing every month. The company is growing from strength to strength as is expands with its American division, Medivet America LLC leading the field in sales and Adipose Stem Cell procedures.

The new system developed by Medivet involves a small surgical incision to harvest some of an animal’s own adipose tissue, process it to isolate millions of dormant adult stem cells and then activating those cells using Medivet’s two unique simultaneous intellectual property processes, before injecting the stem cells back into the animal’s body.

Just one year ago, the previously existing technology was delivering 400,000 to 700,000 dormant stem cells per gram of adipose tissue. When Medivet first released its own technology, delivery leapt to 1 to 3 million activated stem cells per gram. Generation two delivered up to 3 to 8 million activated cells per gram of fat and now, with the latest advancements, in our third generation technology, up to 30 million activated stem cells per gram are being delivered.

This brand new technology was developed independently of any other organization by Medivet and is proven to deliver more activated stem cells than any other preceding technology.

Trials have been conducted, and are continuing at a number of universities, in Australia and internationally, all with positive results. Thousands of Adipose Stem Cell Kits have been supplied to veterinarians and distributors globally to perform Stem cell procedures. Medivet is currently exporting the kits to over 14 countries internationally.

Medivet continues to spearhead research and development in stem cell technology and will continue to conduct laboratory and clinical trials for the foreseeable future to ensure that all its stem cell technology remains at the forefront in the veterinary area of medical treatment and the superior treatment of choice for all degenerative diseases in animals.

Medivet’s continuing commitment to R&D has ensured several trials are simultaneously underway, one of which is currently being undertaken in Australia by Dr. Simon Bailey from the University of Melbourne to trace and track what Stem cells do within the animal’s body when administrated IV.

By continuing to support such research Medivet will ensure it is at the forefront of veterinary medicine and continues to be a market leader of stem cell therapy and research for many years to come.

Leica Geosystems Enhances SP Technology: Total Precision in any Environment

Leica SP Technology features unique precision, speed and flexibility in any environment. It works with GPS and total station based machine control systems

Norcross, GA (Vocus/PRWEB) March 24, 2011

Leica Geosystems releases the next generation of its unique Leica SP Technology further enhancing flexibility and productivity when grading with a dozer. SP Technology now also supports machine control with total stations, providing high precision and increased grading speed in environments where GPS is not useable. This additional functionality allows users to choose the positioning sensor for their machine control system and to achieve excellent results in any environment. The innovative SP technology for bulldozers is revolutionizing the way contractors move dirt and fine-grade. Using an inertial system SP Technology significantly enhances grading performance, resulting in higher productivity even on challenging job sites.

Achieving faster results

SP technology provides improved hydraulic control that allows faster grading with outstanding smoothness and precision at high speeds, dramatically increasing machine utilization and productivity. Bulldozers can now take on even more fine grading jobs, completing work with less heavy equipment on site and helping contractors to finish their projects ahead of schedule and under budget.

High precision attainable at higher speeds By using inertial guidance with highly responsive hydraulic control, grading performance is significantly enhanced. Leica SP Technology compensates for various weaknesses that GPS and total stations have in normal machine control applications. Thus operators can achieve consistent and precise results even under the most difficult conditions. Machines equipped with SP technology reduce the need for rework and increase machine uptime during poor satellite (GPS/GLONASS) coverage, temporary loss of correction signals, or interrupted prism tracking when working with a total station.

Total precision in any environment

The next generation Leica SP Technology adds unique flexibility to speed and precision. Working with GPS or total station SP technology allows fast and precise grading even on challenging job sites. If GPS is not usable, e.g. when working in urban canyons, deep cuts, forested or mountainous areas, or in tunnels, the operator can swap the GPS sensors with a total station and can keep working with its 3D machine control system enjoying the same SP performance and speeds as with GPS. No matter the environment, Leica SP Technology offers customers a flexible solution for fast, high precision grading.

Increased value of existing hardware

SP Technology is an available upgrade or option to the Leica PowerGrade platform. Along with the unique PowerSnap concept, which allows easy and quick exchange of machine control panels, customers have unrivaled flexibility and speed. Since the first release of SP Technology many contractors have already upgraded their Leica PowerGrade 3D system to benefit from this cutting edge technology and many of them confirmed considerable productivity gains in grading with a dozer.

No learning curve

All dozers equipped with a Leica PowerGrade 3D system controlled by GPS or total station can be easily updated to get the full benefit of the unique SP Technology. A simple sensor swap, upgrade of software, and recalibration of the machine and SP Technology is ready to go.

Availability The new Leica SP Technology version is available now through all authorized Leica Geosystems’ Machine Control representatives.

C6 Technology by Skankeywear is Better Than Ever

C6 Technology

Beaverton, OR (Vocus/PRWEB) January 26, 2011

Skankeywear®-Beaverton, Oregon. C6 Technology® is an innovative technology that can be applied to any fabric before or after production. Being able to apply this treatment to a finished product opens new doors and capabilities for the fabric product that is treated. Now embroideries, screen printed products, seams and thread will be included in the treatment, making them stain and water resistant as well. This process can be applied to most fabrics making many more possibilities for the product. From jeans, to knitted shirts, to woven shirts: almost anything can be treated.

C6 Technology® uses a C6 carbon chain rather than a C8 carbon chain like most of its competitors. C8 carbon chains are full of Perfluorooctanoic acids(PFOA), a man-made chemical which does not occur naturally in the environment. Recently scientists have found great apprehension as levels of PFOA have been commonly found in many humans across the world and concerns abound about how exposure to PFOA could affect people’s health. Unlike C8, a C6 Carbon chain does not contain PFOA, which makes our C6 Technology environmentally safe.

This new process is a step ahead of the rest in protecting the products that are sold. C6 Technology® makes the product stain, water, odor, wrinkle and fade resistant, but a new attribute that has yet to be mentioned is the breathability that the products retain. With this new treatment process, the product can have long life treatment of over 55 washes and keep a desired hand (or feel) of the fabric as though it had never been treated with any process.

C6 Technology® does not make the products water or stain proof, only water and stain resistant. This means that if any dirt or grease has accumulated, it will stay on the surface. Washing of these garments is made easier and faster. It alleviates stress of buying high end detergents or pretreatments. The dirt is simply cleaned right off the surface and leaves C6 Technology® on the garment ready to again resist water and stains. This also cuts down on the time in the dryer, which helps save your energy bill.

Skankeywear® and NW Allen® are two lines of clothing that use C6 Technology®. Making the comforts of a wrinkle and stain resistant lifestyle more attainable to the average consumer. Purchasing clothing with C6 Technology® treatments helps save you money on your water and energy bill with washings and drying. C6 Technology® is here to save your wallet as well as your time. For business and dress clothing for men, look into NW Allen® at nwallen.com. For your everyday clothing needs, look into our ever changing and expanding options for men and women with Skankeywear® found at skankeywear.com.

iPower Technologies: 3 Major Small Business Benefits from Doing More with Less – Server Virtualization

Boca Raton, FL (Vocus/PRWEB) February 21, 2011

President of iPower Technologies, Jarrett Pavao, discusses three (3) major benefits and money saving IT server virtualization trends for 2011. These trends can mean significant savings for small businesses. Three major benefits small businesses can achieve right away include company savings, improved reliability, and fault tolerant systems.

Five years ago businesses fueled by a booming economy were thrust into a phase of rapid growth. During a period in which IT departments found themselves struggling to keep pace with an expanding business model. Demands for more servers and desktops increased as companies grew. Sudden hikes in hardware costs were the parallel effect of this demand. Including all of the non-tangible costs companies struggled to bear, linked to an expanding server farm. Specifically the management of cooling, electrical, security, business continuity, and physical space increasing IT business expenses. Currently an improving economy allows us to view what IT departments are doing now. IT departments are finally being told that they no longer have to “make due” with outdated antiquated equipment. Advents in modern server technology have really set the stage for IT departments to “Do More with Less” by investing in the latest Virtualization technologies. In fact iPower Technologies performed an analysis that illustrates how these technologies can net you a ROI of 336%. This figure is based on a small company having 25 servers over a 3 Year period.

Basically, the virtualization software converts your traditional old servers into encapsulated flat files that run on the host machine with their own independent processors, memory, and storage. There are numerous advantages to this including a reduction in costs. No longer are you married to a specific type of hardware to run your servers, and your opportunity to retire dated underutilized equipment adds a tangible benefit. Many large companies have been doing this successfully for a long time. The potential savings for large entities has sparked the interest of smaller companies wanting to share in these technological based rewards. It is estimated that over 40% of servers only use about 10% of their processing power. Based on these statistics, there are many situations where virtualization technologies allow IT departments to consolidate 10 servers for every 1. These kinds of savings can be dramatic! There are numerous studies online that show how quickly an organization can reduce their cost of ownership, while making money back on their investment in this technology. Lowered cooling, electrical, and space requirements allow an organization to instantly notice real savings with virtualization technologies. IT departments will also see more value by implementing these virtual server environments. Due to the operating systems of the guest virtual machines being flat files the ease in backing up and replicating them to an off premise disaster recovery site is readily available. This effectively reduces your bottom line while offering peace of mind. iPower Technologies can offer affordable advanced software designs and solutions that make total disaster recovery systems available to small businesses.
