Deck-Guard Announces Launch of Solar-Powered Bird Repeller for Use on Recreational Boats

Deck-Guard, llc. announced the launch of their new ultrasonic, solar-powered bird repeller for use on recreational boats.

2011-11-23

NEW BEDFORD, MA, November 23, 2011 (Press-News.org) "Ask yourself this question...as a boat owner, how much time do you spend cleaning your boat of bird droppings?" asks George Telheiro, CEO of Deck-Guard, LLC. "Wouldn't you rather be spending that time enjoying your boat? Absolutely! That's what Deck-Guard offers the pleasure boater."

Masts, spreaders, canvas covers, radars, and railings on boats provide perfect perches for birds. Bird droppings can stain canvas covers and other surfaces and can be difficult to clean. Gulls, cormorants, pelicans and pigeons commonly use boats to land on. If neglected, bird droppings can stain surfaces, and eventually erode the material. A high concentration of uric acid is found among seabirds' droppings. This acidity can erode materials and stain fabric, costing boaters hundreds if not thousands of dollars in cleaning and replacement costs. Not to mention the health hazards associated with bird droppings, such as bacteria and parasites that can lead to serious illnesses.

Deck-Guard solves this common problem for all boaters in an environmentally friendly and humane manner by creating an ultrasonic sound that repels birds and prevents them from perching on boats. One device covers a 30 ft area and is suitable for all boats.

"We're very excited about the launch of this product, and I can tell you from first hand experience that it works", Telheiro said. "After spending hours upon hours of cleaning excrement on my own boat, I thought...there must be a better way. We have been testing the product for a few years and are now ready to launch it to the public. Since installing it on my own boat, I have seen a significant decrease in the amount of bird droppings. You will always get the fly bys but no more perching. Best of all there's no need to fool around with outlandish plastic owls, flags, wind propellers or cumbersome and expensive netting anymore. All you need to do it press a button and your done."

The product has had positive feedback from boat owners who have purchased the product. "I love to hear back from boaters," Telheiro said. "You really get a sense of their excitement, mostly because they don't have to deal with cleaning poop anymore."

About the Product
Deck-Guard utilizes ultrasonic sound waves to frighten, annoy, and intimidate seagulls and other birds. Deck-Guard is solar powered, motion activated and maintenance free. Deck-Guard gets rid of birds while maintaining a clean, comfortable, bird-free environment allowing more time for boating. Deck-Guard can be purchased online at www.deck-guard.com.

Modern Power Supply Based on Lithium Battery Technology Keeps Down the Payload

2011-11-23

The German producer of special-purpose vehicles GSF Sonderfahrzeugbau has chosen a lithium ion battery based power solution from Clayton Power for their vehicles. This innovative technology helps them keep down the total payload and saves weight for other types of modern technology equipment. Modern special-purpose vehicles get heavier and heavier as they are filled with technology and specialized equipment. This increases the demand for ways to save weight in other areas - such as the power supply. Sales manager Mr. Eckhard Last explains how GSF has managed to ...

Surprising pathway implicated in stuttering

2011-11-23

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have obtained new evidence that at least some persistent stuttering is caused by mutations in a gene governing not speech, but a metabolic pathway involved in recycling old cell parts. Beyond a simple association, the study provides the first evidence that mutations affecting cellular recycling centers called lysosomes actually play a role in causing some people to stutter. "This was extremely unexpected," says senior author Stuart A. Kornfeld, MD, the David C. and Betty Farrell Professor of Medicine. ...

The best way to market fine wine: Teach and learn or wine and dine?

2011-11-23

Los Angeles, CA (November 22, 2011)) According to new research, wine promoters may want to spend more money on brochures and flyers and less money on wine tastings as they market to novice wine drinkers. A recent study published in Cornell Hospitality Quarterly (a SAGE journal) finds that without teaching about the background and process of wine production, new wine drinkers can be more easily influenced by advertising to make their purchases than their experienced counterparts. Authors Kathryn A. LaTour, Michael S. LaTour, and Andrew H. Feinstein wrote that while the ...

Mindomo Presenter - The First Real Presentation Mode for Mind Maps

2011-11-23

Expert Software Applications announced today the immediate availability of Mindomo Presenter - a radical new way to present Mind Maps online and offline. The strength of Mind Maps comes from their brain-friendly hierarchical structure. However, that strength is also a weakness when it comes to sharing a mind map. "A mind map has a single starting point and it has multiple ending points, it has no single path which will guide you trough every idea in a mind map. When creating a mind map there is no way to include a guidance to viewers which would make it easy to ...

Evolutionary practices in schools can benefit at-risk students

2011-11-22

BINGHAMTON, NY – Helping at-risk high schoolers succeed in the classroom has always been difficult. Binghamton University Professor David Sloan Wilson thinks that he has a solution: design a school program that draws upon general theories of social behavior. Wilson, who has studied the evolution of social behavior throughout his career, recently had an opportunity to advise a new program for at-risk 9th and 10th graders in the upstate community of Binghamton, NY. Known as the Regents Academy, the program initiated in the Binghamton City School District was a huge success ...

Research group proposes first system for assessing the odds of life on other worlds

2011-11-22

PULLMAN, Wash. – Within the next few years, the number of planets discovered in orbits around distant stars will likely reach several thousand or more. But even as our list of these newly discovered "exoplanets" grows ever-longer, the search for life beyond our solar system will likely focus much more narrowly on the relatively few of these new worlds which exhibit the most Earth-like of conditions. For much of the scientific community, the search for alien life has long been dominated by the notion that our own planet serves as the best model of conditions best suited ...

People with early Alzheimer's disease may be more likely to have lower BMI

2011-11-22

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Studies have shown that people who are overweight in middle age are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease decades later than people at normal weight, yet researchers have also found that people in the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease are more likely to have a lower body mass index (BMI). A current study examines this relationship between Alzheimer's disease and BMI. The study, published in the November 22, 2011, print issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, examined 506 people with advanced brain imaging ...

Poor recycling of BACE1 enzyme could promote Alzheimer's disease

2011-11-22

Sluggish recycling of a protein-slicing enzyme could promote Alzheimer's disease, according to a study published online on November 21 in The Journal of Cell Biology (www.jcb.org). Abeta, the toxic protein that accumulates in the brains of Alzheimer's patients, is formed when enzymes cut up its parental protein, known as amyloid precursor protein. One of those enzymes is beta-secretase or BACE1. BACE1 cycles between the Golgi apparatus and the plasma membrane, traveling through endosomes on the way. A protein complex called the retromer helps transport proteins back from ...
