10% off Surveillance Instillation from XTreme HD for 1st Time Homeowners


Get your 10% Surveillance Instillation Discount from Arsen Lusher!

Arsen Lusher has seen it all when it comes to home invasions, and that is the very reason why he is so passionate about home security surveillance instillation. He realizes that the very thing that you have been saving for, your new home, is definitely being watched by potential thieves, and that they could be currently planning to move in on your freshly acquired property any day now. Most people who used to live in small apartments are not all that accustomed to having a much bigger house. And, this is an advantage that robbers have on a brand new home owner, because they know how to target a large home at specific points when planning to illegally enter it to retrieve what’s inside.

When the owner of Xtreme HD, Mr. Arsen Lusher, makes your initial surveillance instillation, he firstly gets to know your premises by examining it, then figuring out what parts of the house that are the most vulnerable to intruders. For most people, these are private entrances through back or side doors, or outside access to basements or attics. Once that is done, the owner of Xtreme HD can pinpoint the areas where you probably spend the least of your time while you are at home (as well as the ones where you and your family congregate often) and lay out a video surveillance plan that will cater to your new home perfectly.

You want to protect your investment of a new home, and Mr. Arsen Lusher’s Staten Island based Xtreme HD wants you to have eyes on it when you are not physically there. The surveillance packages they offer are amazing. And, at a time of 2020 where robberies are consistent, the summer, this is the very best time to take advantage of this great 10% instillation discount if you happen to be a first-time homeowner. Feel free to call Arsen Lusher directly today for free estimates at 609-373-9842.

Bellus3D Makes Surgical Masks More Effective


Bellus3D 3D Mesh Face & Mask Frame

We are offering Bellus3D FaceApp with a 3D-printable Mask Fitter feature free of charge to help fight the spread of COVID-19

Bellus3D, Inc., a Silicon Valley startup, offers personalized 3D printable Mask Fitter frames to improve seals on face masks. This innovation comes in response to the global pandemic of COVID-19 and the associated surge in demand for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) masks for workers in healthcare, essential businesses, and private individuals.

According to the CDC, one of the important aspects of mask performance is prevention of leakage at the boundary of the protective face mask and the wearer’s face. Based on a study by the NIH, surgical mask filtration is equally effective against infectious aerosol particles when compared to N95 mask filtration. However, since surgical masks do not provide a good fit on a face, aerosols enter and exit the mask regardless of the efficiency of the mask filter.

To solve this issue, the Bellus3D application allows anyone to scan their face and generate a 3D-printable file of the Mask Fitter that can be used with most 3D printers. This personalized, precise-fitting frame can be placed over an existing surgical mask to ensure a tighter seal. In addition to increasing protection against disease, the personalized frame design takes into account comfort, airflow and motion. The tight seal around the nose bridge area lessens fogging of the wearer’s glasses. The frame does not press on the lower jaw tightly to allow the lower jaw to move freely, to talk easily, and to allow some air to get through.

“We are excited to contribute a solution for people who need to achieve better protection using surgical masks or other masks with better seals and comfort. We are offering Bellus3D FaceApp with a 3D-printable Mask Fitter feature free of charge to help fight the spread of COVID-19,” says Eric Chen, CEO of Bellus3D.

The Bellus3D FaceApp application can be downloaded on the Apple App Store.

About Bellus3D, Inc.

Bellus3D is the innovative leader in high-resolution 3D face scanning. Our goal is to enable personalized products using the face by providing fast, easy and affordable 3D face scanning to companies and individuals who are creating products for the face. We are working with companies in key vertical markets including dental, eyewear, medical, cosmetic and 3D Printing to facilitate their goal of delivering highly personalized products to their customers.

Navitas Leads the Mobile Fast-Charger Revolution


News Image

Accelerating beyond 50 fast-charger products and platforms is a significant achievement as it means that GaN is a trusted, mainstream technology and every OEM and ODM in the industry can move quickly to participate in the creation of a new GaNFast charger product category

Navitas Semiconductor announced today that over 50 GaNFast-enabled mobile fast-charging products & platforms are available, including top OEMs in mass-production with wall chargers ranging from 24W to 300W.

Gallium Nitride (GaN) is a next-generation semiconductor technology that runs up to 20x faster than old, slow silicon (Si), and enables 3x more power, which translates to up to 3x faster and half the size & weight. GaNFast chargers feature “USB-C” which means they can deliver enough power to fast-charge laptops and quickly and safely charge all other mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, headphones and VR-headsets. Using a single GaNFast charger for all your mobile devices saves time, weight and money.

“Customers from NVIDIA to Xiaomi have leveraged the high-speed capabilities of GaNFast power ICs to create the world’s smallest, thinnest and lightest power adapters and fast-chargers” explained Stephen Oliver, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing. “Accelerating beyond 50 fast-charger products and platforms is a significant achievement as it means that GaN is a trusted, mainstream technology and every OEM and ODM in the industry can move quickly to participate in the creation of a new GaNFast charger product category.”

Continued demand for more powerful smartphones, tablets and laptops with larger screens, larger batteries and 5G capability has created a multi-$B market for next-generation fast-chargers. Since 2018, millions of GaN chargers have been shipped by big name brands such as Samsung, Oppo, Xiaomi and Verizon plus an array of accessory providers including Belkin, Anker, Aukey, Ravpower and Baseus.

“As our fast production ramp continues, our long-term strategic relationships with key world-class suppliers TSMC, Amkor and Greatek are stronger than ever”, said Dan Kinzer, CTO and Chief Operating Officer, adding “We are very proud of our excellent quality track record with zero GaN-related field failures after shipping millions of units in the last 2 years”.

2. Transforming Operations into a Competitive Advantage: It’s time to develop both the tools and processes to increase the effectiveness of assets and workflows through simplification, standardization, connectivity to remove silos, and the capability to measure value and cascading KPIs.

3. Realizing Return of Technology Investments: Organizations must get the most out of their spend and maximize the productive potential of technology investments by developing better ways to collaborate and deliver valuable insights through a keen understanding of data.

4. Optimizing Workplace and Workforce: Times of rapid change call for a holistic approach, including human, machine, digital and physical considerations, to empower and engage your workforce and bring value-driven outcomes.

5. Creating a Customer-Focused Culture: A keen focus on the customer and great customer service has never been more critical. Organizations must look to the future by building, or enhancing, a unique, authentic culture that allows for understanding and flexibility to meet the customer wherever they are.
