The new Omron handheld barcode reader provides an intelligent out-of-box reading experience to decode direct part marks and labels of a variety of sizes and distance, while seamlessly communicating to the most common PLC platforms.
HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Nov. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Leading automation solution provider, Omron Automation, launches its latest innovation for barcode reading technology for manufacturers in a variety of industries such as automotive, aerospace, life sciences, and logistics. This advanced barcode reader sets a new standard in reading all types of barcodes, including small labels and direct part marks on difficult surfaces.
Most industrial handheld barcode readers lack the ability to automatically adjust settings to instantly read different types of barcodes at different distances. Users often need multiple readers and complicated reprogramming to do this. With the V460 there is no need to purchase multiple units. The barcode reader comes native with a predictive autofocus feature, allowing it to automatically adjust to different sizes, surfaces, and types of barcodes.
Specialized lighting and algorithms are often required to read direct part marks on challenging surfaces. The V460 is equipped with patented intelligent lighting that allows the user to read any type of barcode with the automatic selection of high powered, multi-axis, multi-colored lighting. This feature enables the barcode reader to automatically select the most suitable type and color of lighting to the type of barcode that is presented.
Most handheld barcode readers require costly and complex traceability setup. The V460 offers a built-in Power over Ethernet port, a single Ethernet cable connection for power and communication and fieldbus connectivity. Users save time and integration cost with its simple connectivity and pre-built function blocks for the Ethernet & Fieldbus communications. This rugged handheld is designed for long life in industrial situations. It is built to withstand the harsh treatment of the manufacturing environment. Its durability reduces hardware maintenance and replacement costs. Industrial professionals can learn more about the new Omron handheld barcode reader here.

The organization had always accepted small donations of non-perishable food, providing them to homeless veterans on the street as part of their Mobile Veteran Outreach. Demand always exceeded supply, but now the gap between food prices and veterans’ benefit checks is exploding due to inflation. To prevent catastrophic suffering for the most vulnerable veterans, they have launched a partnership with Manna Conejo Valley Food Bank. This creates a direct, and life-saving link between the food bank and homeless or home-bound veterans.
GCVF had a small fleet of Chevy vehicles for street-level veteran rescue and transportation, as part of the Mobile Veteran Outreach program. The Rotary Club of Thousand Oaks recently donated the funds to purchase a new car, which was boosted by a $2,500 donation, and significant discount from Paradise Chevrolet, who also covered the cost of a patriotic “vehicle wrap”. GCVF’s Chevy fleet growth will allow the organization to increase its outreach, rescue, and food distribution by 10 fold. It also allows their staff and volunteers to transport more veterans with mobility issues to critical (often emergency) physical and/or mental health care services, court obligations, earned benefits and supportive services.
“This couldn’t have happened at a more perfect moment,” says GCVF’s Harris; “thanks to the partnership with Manna, and direct support from Rotary Club of Thousand Oaks and Paradise Chevrolet, we can save even more lives. Whether it’s a ‘shut-in’ veteran who’s unable to get groceries, a ‘street homeless’ veteran without money to buy food, or a young veteran family living in poverty, this four-way partnership will be there with open hearts and healthy food.”
Dodgers baseball legend Vin Scully came out of retirement in his 90’s to record PSA’s for GCVF’s veteran rescue program. Even after Scully’s passing in 2022, his familiar voice – and his message to care for our veterans – is still resonating with the public… and booming out across Cumulus Radio stations on Veterans Day 2023. “If you’re a veteran in need,” says Harris, “Vin Scully is up there watching over you, and making sure that America has your back!”
About Gold Coast Veterans Foundation – GCVF provides everything to prevent or eliminate suffering and homelessness for American veterans. GCVF has now rescued over 250 veterans and family members from homelessness. All services are provided free of charge. http://www.gcvf.org (805) 482-6550

Because of fentanyl’s high potency, it is much more complicated to treat than other opioids like heroin. Traditional treatments like Suboxone, if given too soon after opioid use, can actually make the withdrawal symptoms worse.
“Think about the worst flu that you’ve ever had and multiply it by ten. That’s what people can go through during opioid withdrawal,” explained Dr. Engeriser. “The withdrawal symptoms when someone is using opioids can be absolutely miserable and incredibly painful. It is so horribly uncomfortable that people may be desperately wanting to stop using the fentanyl, but they just can’t, because it’s so difficult to get through that process.”
However, leaders in the addiction medicine field are finding that ketamine, an anesthetic medicine often used to treat chronic pain or treatment-resistant depression, can greatly reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
“If somebody comes in and they are having moderate opioid withdrawal, we give an injection of very low-dose ketamine. That, in itself, helps relieve a lot of the opioid withdrawal. And then 30 minutes later, we give that first dose of Suboxone,” said Dr. Engeriser.
In the past, Dr. Engeriser explained that it could take a few days to help patients transition from fentanyl to buprenorphine due to the intense withdrawal symptoms. But with the use of ketamine, patients are able to return home in a matter of hours.
“When we treat these individuals at the BHCC, they can now walk out on the same day with a prescription for Suboxone and a follow-up appointment with our substance use treatment programs at AltaPointe Health,” added Dr. Engeriser.
He hopes that this breakthrough can offer a more manageable path to recovery for those who are trapped in the cycle of opioid dependency.
“We are in the midst of a horrible opioid overdose epidemic, where people are dying every day. The use of ketamine in this way may be new, but I think there is a really important place for this in helping people transition to Suboxone quickly, safely, and comfortably,” explained Dr. Engeriser.

Firmex® Announces Publication of Q4 2023 Deal Flow Bulletin™
TORONTO, Nov. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — More than half of M&A advisors expect deal volume to increase in the fourth quarter, according to a new report from Firmex, one of the most widely used virtual data room providers. That’s after a third quarter where 40% of advisors reported an increase in volume, while 35% saw no change, and 25% pointed to a volume decrease.
The Q4 2023 Deal Flow Bulletin provides readers with a forecast on deal volumes for the quarter, generated by a machine learning model that incorporates proprietary virtual data room activity, economic indicators and data from Firmex’s quarterly survey of middle-market M&A practitioners. The Firmex model predicts a slight fourth-quarter volume increase of 1% in the U.S. and 8% in Europe.
The report shows the most optimism from advisors about increasing M&A activity since the start of 2022, despite a market with a complex array of signals. “Advisors across the middle market are responding to current mixed conditions and doing what they can to foster the flow of deals,” said Mark Wright, general manager of Firmex. “The majority of advisors noted that the time to close deals is increasing, while also pointing to an increase in earnouts and contingent compensation in deal structures.”
Key highlights in the Q4 report include
Deal volume outlook is positive: Merger advisors are more optimistic about the pace of their business than they have been since the beginning of 2022. In our October 2023 survey, 59% of advisors expect deal volume to increase over the next three months, a big jump from 42% predicting an uptick in volume in the July survey.
Q3 deal flow increases noted: A plurality (40%) of advisors said their volume increased in the third quarter, while a quarter said their business slowed.
Catalyzing forces for deals: The factors that are most encouraging dealmaking are the profitability and growth of sellers and the state of the labor market.
Valuation expectations are changing: The number of advisors who predict that deal valuations will fall (42%) is the lowest in 18 months, and those who expect valuations to increase (24%) is the highest it’s been in the same period.
Deal structures are adapting: There is a growing use of earnouts and other contingent compensation in deal structures. In this survey, 55% of advisors said these terms have become more common.

The program utilizes the FDA-approved eCareManager telehealth software platform from Philips to support continuous ICU monitoring through an infrastructure of real-time monitors, electronic medical records and two-way, audio-visual conferencing. Powered by advanced clinical algorithms, eCareManager synthesizes and translates patient data into meaningful information which supports decision-making among the care teams and prompts rapid interventions for at-risk patients.
Health systems across the country have increasingly adopted virtual ICU models to supplement care at smaller hospitals with 24/7 intensivist coverage, while providing more efficient and effective care, according to Tariq Cheema, MD, division chief of pulmonary, critical care, sleep and allergy medicine at AHN.
AHN launched its first virtual ICU program with a provider partner in 2019. This program proved to be a valuable resource for the network and patients throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting response and care planning.
“The extra layer of care afforded by our virtual ICU model has provided clinicians across AHN with unprecedented support in the management of critically ill patients, while also enabling patients to more comfortably stay at hospitals closer to home,” said Dr. Cheema. “With the launch of TeleICU, we are pleased to transition our virtual ICU service fully in-house, extending the expertise of our own intensivists across the network and further enhancing the quality of care that we provide.”
Studies have shown that patients receiving telemedicine ICU services may have decreased mortality rates and may be discharged from the hospital sooner than patients who receive traditional ICU care without round-the-clock, onsite intensivist care.
Following a study of 154,000 ICU patients, researchers from the Cleveland Clinic reported in 2021 that patients who received ICU telemedicine were 18% less likely to die and were released from the hospital an average of two days sooner.
The TeleICU command center is located at 4 Allegheny Center (4AC) on Pittsburgh’s Northside nearby AHN Allegheny General Hospital. It is accompanied by other AHN virtual care programs hosted at the facility such as the ‘Digital Nursing Program‘ in which digital nurses partner with bedside nurses to interact with patients; and ‘Virtual Sitter’ which utilizes remote video monitoring of hospitalized patients who are identified as being at-risk of self-injury.
Also based at 4AC is the ‘One-Call Center’ which provides referring physicians with a 24/7 phone line to request a physician referral, emergency admissions and inter-facility patient transfers; and ‘AHN Care Connect’ which manages the 412.DOCTORS line to help patients schedule appointments and get the care they need.
“This facility has emerged as a virtual health hub that is host to some of the most advanced technologies and tools which support our caregivers and staff in delivering high-quality patient care, helping to improve outcomes and enhance the overall health care experience for both patients and their caregivers,” said Ashis Barad, MD, pediatric gastroenterologist and AHN’s chief digital information officer.
TeleICU at AHN is part of Highmark Health’s Living Health strategy aimed at leveraging digital technology, including virtual care options and remote medical devices, to bring convenient, high quality health support and care to people where and when they need it.
“While health systems nationwide continue to face staffing shortages and budget constraints, our virtual health strategy is designed in part to help providers overcome these persistent challenges while delivering patient-centered, value-driven care,” said Tony Farah, MD, executive vice president, chief medical and clinical transformation officer, Highmark Health. “The collaborative launch of TeleICU with AHN as the pacesetter marks yet another important milestone along our journey to transform health care.”
