MADISON, CT, August 10, 2012 (Press-News.org) ScanJig, unveiled at Kickstarter.com, holds a smart phone/tablet in the correct position as you change document pages. The product works with your mobile document scanner app to increase productivity, get accurate image size and reduce adjustments.
The Problem
Document scanner apps required you to stand over each page and move the smart device until you get a full view, take the image without shaking, then use the app to better define page borders, deskew images and adjust quality.
The process is very time consuming and if you need to do more than one page the work can be very tedious. Each page of the final document can vary in size and quality. In addition, older camera technology (less than 5 Megapixel) often required extra lighting and adjustments.
Solution - A Simple Innovation
ScanJig holds your mobile device in a fixed position and allows you to quickly change document pages with the correct focus and view each time. Just snap the picture and move to the next page. Your smart device becomes a more productive scanner with uniform page size and consistent image quality.
Most document scanner apps can be used including; CamScanner Pro, Scanner Pro, TurboScan. Also, ScanJig complements specific apps for enterprise content management and banking (check scanning).
With improved document images; searchable PDF, text recognition (OCR) and barcoded document applications are more efficient and accurate.
ScanJig adds power when you have many pages to scan. Use only your mobile device to capture, upload, archive, and print or email multiple document files. Further, the solution allows you to work seated with easy access to the device's touch screen. The new process reduces the need for traditional document scanners or multifunctional devices.
"With high resolution cameras, today's mobile devices are now more powerful on-ramps for cloud storage and data collection applications," says Pat Harold, the inventor of ScanJig.
The product's unique design provides the flexibility to support a wide variety of smart phones and tablets, with and without protective cases. The architecture also preserves the tight tolerances needed to be an alternative to dedicated document scanners.
ScanJig is also built to travel, it's lightweight (10 oz.) and portable (lays flat) with simple assembly that requires no tools or fasteners. Set up can be completed in a few minutes.
Data Collection - For Education, Government, Healthcare and More
ScanJig opens the door to data collection using Optical Mark Recognition (OMR). For example, teachers can print student test answer forms on plain paper, as many as are needed when they are needed. Completed forms are then captured using a smart device and ScanJig. A number of software products are available to collect and analyze the data. Information can also be collected from paper survey forms.

Genomic study of rare children's cancer yields possible prognostic tool
2012-08-09
SALT LAKE CITY—A new study of the genetic makeup, or genome, of Ewing sarcoma, a rare cancer that strikes children, teenagers, and young adults, has produced multiple discoveries: a previously unknown sarcoma subtype, genetic factors related to long-term survival, and identification of a genetic change between the primary and metastatic stages of the disease that could lead to better, more targeted treatment.
Researchers from Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the University of Utah used a new, advanced technology called molecular inversion probes (MIPs) to analyze ...
NIST focuses on testing standards to support lab on a chip commercialization
2012-08-09
Lab on a chip (LOC) devices—microchip-size systems that can prepare and analyze tiny fluid samples with volumes ranging from a few microliters (millionth of a liter) to sub-nanoliters (less than a billionth of a liter)—are envisioned to one day revolutionize how laboratory tasks such as diagnosing diseases and investigating forensic evidence are performed. However, a recent paper* from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) argues that before LOC technology can be fully commercialized, testing standards need to be developed and implemented.

Depression linked with increased risk of peripheral artery disease
2012-08-09
Depression was linked with an increased risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in a study of more than one thousand men and women with heart disease conducted by researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center and the University of California, San Francisco.
PAD is a circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs – usually the legs and feet – resulting in pain, reduced mobility and, in extreme cases, gangrene and amputation.
The study was published electronically on July 26, 2012, in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

Scientists use worms to unearth cancer drug targets
2012-08-09
BETHESDA, MD – August 9, 2012 -- Through novel experiments involving small nematode worms, scientists from Wyoming have discovered several genes that may be potential targets for drug development in the ongoing war against cancer. Specifically, researchers hypothesize that inhibiting these genes could reverse certain key traits associated with cancer cells. This discovery is published in the August 2012 issue of the Genetics Society of America's journal GENETICS (www.genetics.org).
"Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide," said David S. Fay, Ph.D., a researcher ...
New Genetics educational resource promotes active learning
2012-08-09
BETHESDA, MD – August 9, 2012 -- As upper level undergraduate genetics instructors plan their syllabi for the fall semester, the Genetics Society of America's GENETICS journal offers a new educational resource, articles called "Primers." These articles are designed to bring cutting-edge scientific research into the classroom by making scientific papers accessible to students.
The principal learning goal of the Primer is to "make research and genetics accessible to a much broader audience, not just researchers, their postdocs and grad students, but also to undergraduates ...

Scientists discover how iron levels and a faulty gene cause bowel cancer
2012-08-09
HIGH LEVELS of iron could raise the risk of bowel cancer by switching on a key pathway in people with faults in a critical anti-cancer gene, according to a study published in Cell Reports* today (Thursday).
Cancer Research UK scientists, based at the University of Birmingham and the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research in Glasgow, found bowel cancers were two to three times more likely to develop in mice with a faulty APC gene that were fed high amounts of iron compared to mice who still had a working APC gene.
In contrast, mice with a faulty APC gene fed a diet low ...
Urban poor plagued by 'burdens of place'
2012-08-09
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Most of America's urban cores were designed for walking but offer little in the way of supermarkets, healthy restaurants and other amenities for residents to walk to, according to a study led by a Michigan State University scholar.
The study is one of the first to show that poor residents living in declining urban neighborhoods want healthy food choices – evidenced by their willingness to travel long distances to find them. Past research has generally assumed that poor people will shop at whatever store is closest.
But compared with suburban residents, ...
Plenty of dark matter near the Sun
2012-08-09
Dark matter was first proposed by the Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky in the 1930s. He found that clusters of galaxies were filled with a mysterious dark matter that kept them from flying apart. At nearly the same time, Jan Oort in the Netherlands discovered that the density of matter near the Sun was nearly twice what could be explained by the presence of stars and gas alone. In the intervening decades, astronomers developed a theory of dark matter and structure formation that explains the properties of clusters and galaxies in the Universe, but the amount of dark matter ...
Looking to Lose Weight?
2012-08-09
SHREWSBURY, MA – A new study published in Nutrition Journal shows that people can lose weight while consuming typical amounts of sugar or high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) if their overall caloric intake is reduced.
"Our research debunks the vilification of high fructose corn syrup in the diet," said James M. Rippe, M.D., one of the study authors. "The results show that equally reduced-calorie diets caused similar weight loss regardless of the type or amount of added sugars. This lends further support to findings by our research group and others that table sugar and HFCS ...
