Pitney Bowes Expands Availability of Reliant Sorting Solution to European Market

Small Footprint Offers Fast and Accurate Mail Sorting for Low and Mid Volume Mail Processing Requirements

2012-03-12

WINDSOR, ENGLAND, March 12, 2012 (Press-News.org) Pitney Bowes today announced it is expanding the availability of its Reliant Sorting Solution to the European Market, where its small-footprint design and robust capabilities will help small private posts provide fast, accurate and flexible services to their customers. The Reliant can also meet the needs of in-house and interoffice sorting applications. The Reliant sorter will be shown to European audiences for the first time at Drupa 2012 - Hall 4, Stand C04.

The Reliant Sorter will bring automation and full-integrity to three core market segments - incoming mail, outgoing mail and the processing of internal mail. It is ideally positioned to enable small-mid volume mailers with a typical daily volume of up to 35,000 items per day, to react quickly to the new opportunities presented by a deregulated European postal market.
Modular in design, the Reliant sorter can be configured to suit a variety of environments and to handle greater volume as business needs develop. The system can process up to 18,000 letters per hour - or 10,000 if the inline weigh-on-the-fly option is used.

The Reliant sorter has the flexibility to handle a range of mail-types, up to C5 envelopes with a further upgrade option to handle C4 flats. The system is single-sided and built on wheels - a seemingly small design point but one which enables businesses to effortlessly manoeuvre the sorter to the most convenient position.

Christoph Stehmann, Vice President European Customer Operations and Document Messaging Technologies Europe for Pitney Bowes, comments: "The Reliant offers convenience, creativity and control - enabling smaller volume mailers to maximise potential and build for the future. Our solutions portfolio continues to grow, providing industry-leading solutions that help our customers meet the evolving needs of their own audiences."

Nintendo Wii game controllers help diagnose eye disorder

2012-03-12

Rockville, Md. – – Wii remotes are not all about fun and games. Scientists can use them to assess and diagnose children with an abnormal head position caused by eye diseases. As described in a recent Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science article, researchers developed a low-cost digital head posture measuring device with Nintendo Wiimotes to help diagnose this condition, medically called ocular torticollis. "Torticollis occurs in about 1.3% of children," said author, Jeong-Min Hwang, MD, of Seoul National University College of Medicine. "Accurate measurement of ...

Oldest organism with skeleton discovered in Australia

2012-03-12

RIVERSIDE, Calif. – A team of paleontologists has discovered the oldest animal with a skeleton. Called Coronacollina acula, the organism is between 560 million and 550 million years old, which places it in the Ediacaran period, before the explosion of life and diversification of organisms took place on Earth in the Cambrian. The finding provides insight into the evolution of life – particularly, early life – on the planet, why animals go extinct, and how organisms respond to environmental changes. The discovery also can help scientists recognize life elsewhere in the ...

AlphaDogs Plays Tribute To Glam Rock Singer

2012-03-12

Just on the heels of both David Bowie and Freddie Mercury there was Jobriath, the first American folk and glam rock musician to declare himself openly gay in the early 1970's. Self proclaimed as "The True Fairy Of Rock n Roll", Jobriath's story caught the attention of Director/Producer Kieran Turner, who devoted more than two years of his time to produce a documentary that shows how the legacy of this multi-talented musician goes beyond the labels that were hung upon him. Ahead of his time, Jobriath was a pioneer in the very early days of glam rock. For the ...

Share and share alike

2012-03-12

In the world of marketing, people who are thinking about sharing product information they find in online advertising are likely to first consider whether the information is relevant to friends and family in their social networks. The notion of a piece of information, a video clip, amusing photo or informative email going "viral" was initially a purely organic concept where every consumers and users shared such an item to the point where few people would remain unaware of its existence. However, marketing and advertising executives quickly recognized the potential and ...

McGill researchers crack degeneration process that leads to Alzheimer's

2012-03-12

A research group led by Dr. A. Claudio Cuello of McGill University's Faculty of Medicine, Dept. of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, has uncovered a critical process in understanding the degeneration of brain cells sensitive to Alzheimer's disease (AD). The study, published in the February issue of the Journal of Neuroscience, suggests that this discovery could help develop alternative AD therapies. A breakdown in communication between the brain's neurons is thought to contribute to the memory loss and cognitive failure seen in people with AD. The likely suspect is NGF ...

The dance of the chaperones

2012-03-12

Proteins are the molecular building blocks and machinery of cells and involved in practically all biological processes. To fulfil their tasks, they need to be folded into a complicated three-dimensional structure. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) in Martinsried near Munich, Germany, have now analysed one of the key players of this folding process: the molecular chaperone DnaK. "The understanding of these mechanisms is of great interest in the light of the many diseases in which folding goes awry, such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's," says Ulrich ...

Ultrafast sonograms shed new light on rapid phase transitions

2012-03-12

An international team of physicists has developed a method for taking ultrafast 'sonograms' that can track the structural changes that take place within solid materials in trillionth-of-a-second intervals as they go through an important physical process called a phase transition. Common phase transitions include the melting of candle wax before it burns and dissolving sugar in water. They are purely structural changes that produce dramatic changes in a material's physical properties and they play a critical role both in nature and in industrial processes ranging from ...

Vaccination may be key for true elimination of HIV-1

2012-03-12

In what may prove to be a major step forward for the treatment of HIV-1 infection, scientists have discovered an effective way to eliminate a notoriously persistent form of the virus that does not respond to current therapies. The research, published online by Cell Press on March 8th from the journal Immunity, describes a vaccination strategy that may be essential for successful eradication efforts and should therefore be considered for future clinical trials. Current antiretroviral therapies suppress the ability of HIV-1 to copy itself, but they cannot completely eliminate ...

Could a NOSH-aspirin-a-day keep cancer away?

2012-03-12

The humble aspirin may soon have a new role. Scientists from The City College of New York have developed a new aspirin compound that has great promise to be, not only an extremely potent cancer-fighter, but even safer than the classic medicine cabinet staple. The new designer aspirin curbed the growth of 11 different types of human cancer cells in culture without harming normal cells, reported a team from the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education of The City College of New York in a paper published this month in the journal ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters. The cancers ...
