How is AIS is being used by shoreside personnel across the workboat industry, including harbor tugs, liquid cargo transportation, and OSVs?
To address these questions and others, WorkBoat.com has scheduled a September 11 webinar at 1 p.m. (EDT). The cost to attend the webinar is $59. To register, visit www.WorkBoat.com.
"Through case studies, this session will provide a general overview on techniques and practices for driving business intelligence from AIS data," commented David Krapf, editor in chief WorkBoat magazine.
Krapf noted that fleet operators are well-acquainted with AIS for navigation and collision-avoidance. "In recent years shoreside users have used AIS to enhance business activities," Krapf said. "Shoreside benefits of AIS span a variety of applications including market intelligence, training, compliance, customer service, and even litigation avoidance."

How Corneal Issues Can Affect Your LASIK Candidacy
2012-09-08
Your cornea is a remarkable structure in that it is the transparent outer layer of your eye and in a healthy state has no blood vessels. It is one of your body's most delicate and sensitive areas, but heals rapidly. The cornea's curvature focuses light as it enters your eye.

How to Stop California Companies from Using Misappropriated Trade Secrets
2012-09-08
Everyone involved in the business world knows what a trade secret is and the immense value it can possess. However, the whole point of a trade secret is that a company derives value from the secret because it is just that, a secret.

This begs the question, is there any relief available for a company after their trade secret is misappropriated? Is there any way to put the genie back in the bottle so other companies ...
