Optex Announces PoE IP Encoder to Ease Integration of Optex Sensors with VMS and NVRs

PIE-1 Combines remote PoE power and alarm signal conversion to IP

2012-03-22

CHINO, CA, March 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) The new PIE-1 Alarm IP Encoder from Optex provides the dual functions of PoE power delivery to remote Optex devices and conversion of alarm signals to an IP protocol for delivery to video management systems or network video recorders. The PIE-1 provides support for Optex sensors in security systems using VMS and NVRs through vendor- unique API.

The device can be used in a number of ways:

- PoE (Power over Ethernet) only: to power remotely the Optex Redscan laser scanner provides IP alarm signals natively and requires no conversion encoding. The PIE-1 supports both PoE and PoE Plus, switching automatically between them as required by the sensor.

- IP Encoder and PoE: The PIE-1 both converts the alarm signal to IP and powers the remote device. This is the typical mode for use with Optex Redwall passive infrared detector and Fiber Defender optical fiber-based perimeter security systems from an Optex subsidiary Fiber SenSys.

For more information on the Optex PIE-1 visit booth 9039 at the ISC West International Security Conference and Exposition in Las Vegas, NV, March 28-30, 2012.

French Media Spotlight American Writer's Quest to Overhaul French Grammar

2012-03-22

"Erik Orsenna, dictator of grammar! Look, you're killing the French language!" the rapidly-becoming viral video went (OK, viral by French not American standards). Then the number 2 magazine group of France called "Le Nouvel Obs" picked up the story as did many literary websites (see attachments on right-hand side of this text.) Some of these press releases start with those very same angry words, the aggressive words pronounced by the author on the video against French grammar. The problem is that the author on the video is in fact an American ...

Fox Chase Cancer Center leads efforts to establish national standards for survivorship care

2012-03-20

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (March 18, 2012)—People are living longer with and after a cancer diagnosis, making survivorship clinics and programs—as well as official guidelines and practices governing the care of survivors—an important emerging component of modern cancer care. Many institutions are looking to gather these resources into an easily understandable plan for their survivors. "Cancer survivors face a lot of unique and very specific challenges," says Crystal S. Denlinger, M.D., a medical oncologist at Fox Chase Cancer Center who will present on best practices in cancer ...

Tracking proteins behaving badly provides insights for treatments of brain diseases

2012-03-20

A research team led by the University of Melbourne, Australia, has developed a novel technique that tracks diseased proteins behaving badly by forming clusters in brain diseases such as Huntington's and Alzheimer's. The technique published in Nature Methods today is the first of its kind to rapidly identify and track the location of diseased proteins inside cells and could provide insights into improved treatments for brain diseases and others such as cancer. Developed by Dr Danny Hatters and his team of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the ...

The effect of rosuvastatin on incident pneumonia: Results from the JUPITER trial

2012-03-20

Statins may prevent pneumonia, according to a new study in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). Researchers from Israel and the United States analyzed data from the JUPITER trial, a randomized, double-blind trial with placebo control groups conducted at 1315 sites in 26 countries to look at the use of the statin rosuvastatin in disease prevention. The trial involved 17 802 men aged 50 years or older and women aged 60 years or older without a history of heart disease or diabetes. Patients were randomized to receive either a placebo or rosuvastatin, a statin used ...

Blood testing for sensitivity, allergy or intolerance to food

2012-03-20

Blood testing to determine a link between food and illness is increasingly common, but some tests are not considered diagnostic and can lead to confusion, according to a primer in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). Both traditional physicians and holistic medicine practitioners may offer blood testing to diagnose adverse reactions to food. A food allergy is a specific immunologic reaction to a food that can be reproduced with exposure to the food in question. An intolerance is an adverse reaction without an immunologic response, such as lactose intolerance. However, ...

Annals of Internal Medicine tip sheet for March 20, 2012, issue

2012-03-20

1. Dapagliflozin Effective Add-on for Patients with Inadequately Controlled Blood Glucose Experts caution that long-term safety data is still lacking Even on high doses of insulin, some patients with type 2 diabetes still have poorly controlled blood glucose levels. Increasing doses of insulin raises the risks for weight gain, hypoglycemia, fluid retention, and congestive heart failure, so physicians may choose to add additional medications rather than increase the insulin dose. Dapagliflozin, the first in the class of selective renal sodium glucose contransporter (SGLT) ...

Some orbits more popular than others in solar systems

2012-03-20

Computer simulations have revealed a plausible explanation for a phenomenon that has puzzled astronomers: Rather than occupying orbits at regular distances from a star, giant gas planets similar to Jupiter and Saturn appear to prefer to occupy certain regions in mature solar systems while staying clear of others. "Our results show that the final distribution of planets does not vary smoothly with distance from the star, but instead has clear 'deserts' – deficits of planets – and 'pile-ups' of planets at particular locations," said Ilaria Pascucci, an assistant professor ...

Hutchinson Center scientists break through pancreas cancer treatment barrier

2012-03-20

SEATTLE – Pancreas cancer tumors spread quickly and are notoriously resistant to treatment, making them among the deadliest of malignancies. Their resistance to chemotherapy stems in part from a unique biological barrier the tumor builds around itself. Now scientists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have found a way to break through that defense, and their research represents a potential breakthrough in the treatment of pancreas cancer. In a paper to be published in the March 20 issue of Cancer Cell, senior author Sunil Hingorani, M.D., Ph.D., an associate member ...

Breaking the backbone of triple-negative breast cancers

2012-03-20

Putting the brakes on an abundant growth-promoting protein causes breast tumors to regress, according to a study published on March 19th in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. Triple-negative breast tumors lack all of the known growth receptors that serve as treatment targets in other types of breast cancer, making this the most clinically challenging subtype of the disease. Patients with these tumors tend to relapse earlier and have shorter disease-free survival. Andrei Goga and colleagues now show that triple-negative breast tumors express elevated levels of the ...

Sudden blood pressure drop with position change linked to higher risk of heart failure

2012-03-20

People whose blood pressure drops rapidly when they move from lying down to standing, known as orthostatic hypotension, may have a higher risk of developing heart failure, according to research published in Hypertension, an American Heart Association journal. The link between orthostatic hypotension and heart failure was stronger in people 45-55 years old compared to those 56-64, researchers said. High blood pressure, which was present in over half of people who developed heart failure, may be partially responsible for the association. Over an average 17.5 years of follow-up, ...
